After Bluebird was brought back to the Nine Nether squad's base, her heart had already stopped beating.Her current physical condition was only sustained by the last remnants of inner energy within her body. The slightest misstep, and if her inner energy dissipated, there would be no chance of saving her.Fortunately, during the crucial moment of Bluebird's breakthrough while undergoing the Heaven's Gate herbal bath, Liam had used his special needle technique to transfer his inner energy into her, offering critical support. Because of this, Bluebird could fully accept Liam's energy without any resistance. Otherwise, the treatment would not have even been possible.Despite this advantage, the pressure and energy consumption that Liam had to endure were still incredibly overwhelming. Transferring his energy to Bluebird was an entirely different challenge compared to using it himself.In the air, the special needles controlled by Liam's inner energy continued to descend. Simultaneousl
The golden needle in Liam's hand pierced the final acupoint, the Ghost Sealing Sea Spring.In an instant, a wave of invisible energy spread outward from Bluebird as the center, rippling through the surrounding area. The tent shook violently for a brief moment before everything fell silent.All sounds disappeared in that instant. Inside the tent, an eerie stillness took over.Liam gasped for breath, his forehead dripping with sweat as he looked at Bluebird, who lay motionless on the stretcher. This treatment had drained him more than any other. Yet, despite all his efforts, Bluebird remained still, as if nothing Liam had done had made any difference.However, even in the face of this scene, Liam's expression remained calm. There was no trace of panic.Though this treatment had nearly exhausted him, Liam could clearly feel that he had succeeded.The next moment, Bluebird's eyes rolled slightly before slowly opening. When she saw Liam, she froze."So, after death, you really do see
"Grandmaster Burrey…"Upon hearing the name, Bluebird was momentarily stunned. She looked up at Liam, a hint of confusion flashing across her eyes. However, before Bluebird could speak, Liam's voice rang out again."The matter we discussed earlier—do you need my help with it now?" he glanced at the gruesome scar on Bluebird's face and asked."Grandmaster Burrey, you should rest first! As for the scar on my face, it's nothing to worry about!"Bluebird's face showed a flash of concern as she quickly responded. Now that she was fully conscious, she could clearly sense everything around her and knew she was still alive.However, what shocked her even more was the sight of Liam standing before her, looking utterly exhausted. Beads of sweat dotted his forehead.There was no need to guess. Bluebird knew without a doubt that this was all because Grandmaster Burrey had been healing her injuries.She recalled how, earlier, Grandmaster Burrey had leapt down from a height of several hundred
Upon hearing Bluebird's words, Liam nodded slightly.Without further delay, he extended his hand, holding a Harvest Union golden needle, and gently tapped it on the center of her forehead."Hmm?" Bluebird felt a cool sensation between her brows.Before she could react, a sudden wave of intense itching surged from the scar on her face.Instinctively, Bluebird wanted to reach out and touch the scar."Don't move," just then, Liam's calm voice rang out.Hearing his command, Bluebird immediately halted her movements. Her back straightened, and she sat rigidly in place.The itching sensation intensified quickly, overwhelming her senses. Sweat began to bead on her forehead from the unbearable discomfort. Yet, because of Liam's order, she remained motionless, enduring the sensation in silence.Thankfully, the intense itching gradually subsided after a moment."It's done," Liam said casually, as he carefully removed the Harvest Union golden needle from Bluebird's forehead."Grandmaste
"Grandmaster Burrey!" Bluebird reached out and grabbed Liam's arm.Seeing this, Liam asked in confusion, "What's wrong?""Nothing."Bluebird smiled softly, her voice calm yet resolute, "It's just that... I've decided not to return to the Nine Nether Squad.""Not going back to the Nine Nether Squad?"Liam paused, surprised, and replied, "But you should at least inform Gabriel and the others, especially considering the Central Military Region..."Before Liam could finish his sentence, Bluebird spoke again."I'm not going back to the Central Military Region either."She shook her head, her face serious."Not returning to the Central Military Region?" Liam asked in shock, "Then where are you planning to go?"Hearing this, Bluebird smiled faintly and lowered her head.She had enlisted at the age of fourteen, spending most of her life in the military. The last Special Forces competition had burdened her with many regrets.Bluebird had always believed that she would live the rest
"We all feel deeply sorry about what happened to Bluebird," Gabriel sighed, then continued, "But I hope you won't let Bluebird's incident affect you too much, Grandmaster Burrey.""That's right, Grandmaster Burrey. If Captain Bluebird were still here, she definitely wouldn't want to see you like this..." One of the members of the Nine Nether squad spoke up, trying to comfort Liam.Although they did not know what exactly happened in the tent earlier, they hoped Grandmaster Burrey would not be too devastated by Bluebird's fate.As for Bluebird being saved by Grandmaster Burrey, neither Gabriel nor any of the Nine Nether members had considered it.After all, in their eyes, Bluebird was no longer alive. How could someone who had already passed away be brought back to life?"Don't worry, Grandmaster Burrey. We'll handle everything related to Bluebird properly," Gabriel reassured Liam as he noticed his prolonged silence. "We won't let you worry about a thing.""Alright," Liam nodded.
For a moment, he felt an even greater shock!Grandmaster Burrey had actually brought the lifeless Bluebird back to life!This was completely beyond the realm of logic!Immediately after, a deeply complex and bitter smile flashed across Gabriel's face. After all, no matter how unbelievable something might be, it seemed entirely possible when it involved Grandmaster Burrey!The next moment, something seemed to cross Gabriel's mind. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he turned and walked out of the tent."Commander Warren, should we handle Captain Bluebird’s remains?"As soon as Gabriel stepped out, the members of the Nine Nether Squad quickly gathered around him. They had stayed behind just to see Bluebird one last time.However, to their surprise, after they spoke, Gabriel shook his head."All records regarding Bluebird are now classified. Officially, he’s to be declared as having died in action!"Gabriel’s face was stern as he said in a deep voice, "Seal off the Nine Nethe
Inside the broadcasting hall.Several people, eager to find out what was happening, hurriedly ran outside. They were curious to see who had the audacity to arrive in a military helicopter!"Should we go take a look?"Seeing this scene, Hailey's face showed a hint of excitement.Anyone who could make such a grand entrance was certainly not an ordinary person!Even if they could not establish a connection with this person, just being familiar with them would satisfy Hailey."Forget it, we shouldn’t join this crowd."Upon hearing Hailey's words, Ronald also felt a flicker of interest. But in the end, he shook his head and said, "People like that wouldn’t even notice our Lloyd family. Besides, so many people have already gone out, we probably won’t see anything even if we go.""Let’s just wait for the press conference to begin. I think the reason it’s been delayed by half an hour is because they’re waiting for this important person."Ronald added, "Now that they’ve arrived, the pr
Kenton's eyes widened as he stared straight ahead.Freddy's lifeless body lay less than two meters away from him. From that distance, Kenton could clearly see Freddy's eyes, devoid of any sparkle.Maybe, if Freddy had taken just one more step to escape the ring and concede defeat, things might have been different.But that was impossible.From the moment Freddy chose to step into the ring, the outcome was already sealed.Right now, Kenton couldn't even feel the pain in his own body. His heart was completely consumed by fear.Kenton had never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.Even more unimaginable was the fact that someone could be so terrifyingly powerful!All the instructors from the battle zones had been killed by the same person. Among them was even a martial arts Ascendants.Yet all of them combined could not last a single round against that Grandmaster!Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare to Kenton.Even now, he could not believe
Ten Years Ago.When Matthew first took office as the commander of the Western Military Region, Brandon Yorkshire had already become his personal guard.Over the past ten years, however, Brandon had never once made a public appearance like he did today!Matthew had never expected that today, after Grandmaster Burrey from the Central Military Region made his move, Brandon would voluntarily show up, and even seem so frightened!However, the old man's appearance did not surprise Liam at all.Because the moment he saw Matthew, he had already noticed the old man's presence."The Martial Code?"Yet, the old man's words made Liam narrow his eyes.But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.Bang—Liam casually tossed Jormund's body aside, then looked up at the remaining special forces instructors still standing on the stage, showing a faint smile."I..."Seeing this, the few remaining instructors on the stage trembled violently!A formless fear instantly gripped their hearts
Jormund finally understood why, at that time, Gabriel did not resist when facing Liam.It was not that Baeron did not want to fight back.It was that, at that moment, Baeron had no chance to resist!The overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, and the boundless fear!It left them completely unable to control their bodies!This man, who was called Grandmaster Burrey, what kind of monster was he?!Not only could he see through the condition of Jormund's body at a glance, but with a simple gesture, he made Jormund's inner energy shrink in terror, completely unable to move!Even though he had already broken through to the realm of martial arts Ascendant, it was still useless!Suddenly, Jormund recalled Baeron's action right before his death—trying desperately to look at them.Now, he finally understood the reason behind that gesture!But he no longer had any way to share his discovery with anyone else!Jormund stared wide-eyed at Liam's slender, well-defined hand, getting
"Mister Celd… When did you break through?"Their faces were filled with shock.Previously, the instructors from other military districts knew that Jormund's strength was extraordinary, but they had no idea to what extent.But they never expected this.Jormund had already become a martial arts Ascendant!That seemingly insurmountable chasm had been crossed by him!From now on, when they faced Jormund, they would probably have to show the respect of juniors!The instructors from other military districts could feel their inner energy trembling slightly under the impact of Jormund's aura, their faces showing a bitter smile.Now they finally understood why Jormund had said that he alone was enough back then!In the presence of a martial arts Ascendant, they weren't even qualified to fight alongside him!At the very front, the smile on Jormund's face was arrogant and unrestrained!"Originally, I planned to reveal my strength when reporting back to my clan. However, I just can't st
"What?""The instructors actually teamed up!""Teamed up? Wasn't it that Grandmaster Burrey of yours who asked for it himself?""If he wants to die, who can he blame!"...Seeing the situation on the stage, a group of soldiers immediately started discussing, with a hint of argument in their voices.The soldiers from other military districts who came to this so-called exchange meeting had long been displeased with that so-called Grandmaster Burrey!"Heh..."Seeing the group of instructors jumping onto the stage, Jormund chuckled softly.However, he did not say much, but his expression was full of confidence.The next moment, Jormund raised his head and looked at Liam, squinting his eyes sharply."Are you ready?"His voice was chilling!"I..."Right at that moment, Liam seemed to notice something and was stunned for a moment, just about to say something!But before he could speak.In front—Boom!Jormund did not give Liam any time to react.In just an instant, he charge
"Grandmaster Burrey..."In a panic, Gabriel opened his mouth, about to say something.But in the end, he was a moment too late!The next moment, Liam's hand, which was gripping Baeron's neck, tightened slightly.Crack—A crisp sound echoed.Baeron's head drooped instantly, the light in his eyes extinguished.Baeron, dead!In his final moments, he couldn't even tell the other officers from the various military districts below what he had originally intended to say!"What!""Impossible!""Grandmaster Burrey killed Baeron?""Weren't they just putting on an act?""What the hell is going on!"...In an instant, the entire stadium erupted like a boiling pot!No one could have imagined that Grandmaster Burrey would actually choose to kill directly!"Sigh..."On the main platform, Gabriel let out a heavy sigh and sat back down.Having once witnessed Grandmaster Burrey's methods, he knew very well just how terrifying it would be if Grandmaster Burrey decided to take action!
"I…"Baeron's face was filled with terror!His body was frozen in place by sheer fear, unable to move at all!Even though he was intensely focused a moment ago, Baeron couldn't catch a single glimpse of Liam's movements.But that was not what terrified him the most.The real reason for his overwhelming horror, the bone-chilling fear, was actually quite simple.It was the aura emanating from Liam's slender, fair hand — fingers distinct and refined.Baeron had lived for over forty years and believed that with his status, he was already accustomed to facing storms and dangers. Even a martial arts Ascendant would not have fazed him, especially considering the powerful backing he had.But never, never had Baeron felt such a hopeless aura.Deep as an abyss, majestic as a deity!The aura from the figure before him was beyond anything Baeron could describe.The once powerful internal energy within him now shrank into a corner, as if it had encountered its greatest predator. No matte
"A mere rat dares to talk so big with such little strength!"Liam's attitude filled Jormund with rage. He had never seen someone so arrogant before."Who do you think you are!"You're even scared of Baeron, and you think you're worthy of having all the army instructors attack together?"Jormund snapped furiously, "Do you really think that just because you brought some officers from the Western Military Region into the ring, you can do whatever you want?""So what you're saying is, if I deal with Baeron first, then all of you will attack together?"Liam turned his head and looked calmly at Jormund."I... "Hearing this, Jormund was momentarily speechless.He had not expected this so-called Grandmaster Burrey to actually respond."Don't worry, you won't get the chance."Baeron sneered, "There's no need to talk about everyone attacking at once. Since you're so eager to die in place of Yet, I'll gladly oblige.""If that's the case." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at
"The Central Military Region is replacing the instructor on stage. The match will continue."After confirming the information, the referee standing nearby announced that the exchange conference would proceed.At the same time, he quickly arranged for staff members to hurry onto the stage and carry away Kenton, who was lying in the center of the ring, groaning in pain.The incident happened suddenly.The instructor exchange conference was the priority.For now, no one had time to question why Grandmaster Burrey had appeared out of nowhere and smashed a Western Military Region officer into the ring.Even if there were questions, they would have to wait until the conference ended."Ah—"As Kenton was being carried off, his agonized screams continued to echo.He felt as if every bone in his body was broken, with no part spared from the pain!"Baeron, you have to avenge me! Avenge me! Make that little bastard suffer!"Kenton wailed in fury, shouting with all his might.Despite ev
