Human Race Civilization Countdown to Extinction: 30.12 Years
Li Yuan looked at the prompt in front of him, and his whole body went numb.
He had been in this world for eighteen years, and as soon as his memory awakened, he was told that Human Race civilization was about to end?
This was a high-Martial World Blue Star.
More than two hundred years ago, the world underwent a drastic change; its area increased hundreds of times, and the Universe's energy became abundant, bringing forth a flourishing transcendent Martial Dao, but also Vicious Beasts and inter-Realm alien races.
Li Yuan was an orphan, growing up in an orphanage.
His Martial Arts Talent was decent, but he had no money to buy Qi and Blood Pills and various supplements.
He Cultivated desperately, yet his Qi and blood were only 12.3 just before the college entrance exam, barely enough to enroll in a Martial Arts university.
However, the resources needed to Breakthrough to a second-order, third-order Martial Artist, or even higher, were something he simply could not afford.
Two days ago, he unintentionally passed by a recruitment office.
A second lieutenant officer looked at him and smiled, "Young man, you look energetic. Come join the army."
So he came.
Soldiers.
They were on the front lines, resisting Vicious Beasts and alien races.
It was the most high-risk profession in Huaxia.
The overall casualty rate reached 30% annually.
In some higher-order Star Realms, it was even more.
Yet, it was the fairest; as long as you killed enemies, you earned merit points.
Merit points could be exchanged for various resources at a low price.
There were also monthly subsidies.
If one sacrificed, their family would receive a substantial pension, enough to live comfortably for the rest of their lives... Li Yuan lowered his head, looking at his brand new New Recruit uniform, feeling quite excited about the upcoming military life.
In the world he Transmigrated from,
wasn't it the sacrifice of countless martyrs, one after another, that brought about a stable and worry-free life for future generations?
Just then, a cold prompt sounded in his mind.
"【Detecting Host's enlistment, God of War Slaughter System successfully activated】"
"【Now issuing reward: Undying Golden Body (S)】"
A panel, visible only to him, appeared before him.
"【Host: Li Yuan】"
"【Age: 18】"
"【Realm: Unranked】"
"【Qi and Blood Value: 12.3】"
"【Mental Energy: 7.1】"
"【Talent: Undying Golden Body (S)】"
"【Martial Skills: Elementary Fist Technique (7/10), Elementary Blade Technique (3/10)】"
"【Upgrade Points: 0】"
"【Note: The Host will receive rare rewards such as talents, Martial Skills, and Cultivation Techniques by achieving accomplishments in the military. Killing Vicious Beasts and alien races will grant Upgrade Points, which can be used to improve Qi and blood, Mental Energy, talents, and Martial Skill proficiency...】"
..."Sure enough, how could a Transmigrator not have a System?"
A wave of exhilaration washed over him.
Li Yuan curved his lips and focused his gaze on the panel.
Undying Golden Body.
He had never heard of it, and books on Martial Arts Talent in the library had no record of it.
But just from the literal meaning, he knew it was an extremely powerful talent.
He could even imagine it.
Himself, like a great sun, emitting dazzling golden light, charging into hordes of Vicious Beasts and alien races, fighting to his heart's content, bathed in blood.
Qi and blood value was an important reference for evaluating one's Realm in the early stages.
Reaching 15 meant one was a first-order Martial Artist.
He was still more than two points short.
Some Geniuses could Breakthrough to the first-order Martial Artist Realm before taking the college entrance exam.
Even more monstrous Prodigies could reach second-order Martial Artist, directly securing admission to The Five Greats top Martial Dao academies.
Li Yuan believed that it wouldn't be long before these Prodigies would be left far behind him.
But even so... Li Yuan looked up at the prompt visible only to him: 【Human Race Civilization Countdown to Extinction: 30.12 Years】
A crisis that could lead to the extinction of the entire Human Race.
It must be an unimaginable disaster.
Even with the System, Li Yuan still felt a sense of urgency; he had to become powerful as quickly as possible.
Suddenly.
Li Yuan's peripheral vision caught the New Recruits heading to the military camp with him.
Below 【Human Race Civilization Countdown to Extinction: 30.12 Years】,
several smaller prompts popped up.
"【Name: Yan Jianming】"
"【Gender: Male】"
"【Life and Death: Martial Calendar Year 218, March - Martial Calendar Year 249, April】"
"【Martial Dao Realm: Second-Order Martial Artist】"
"【Biography: ...Graduated from Tianyang City Fifth Middle School in Martial Calendar Year 236, June, becoming a New Recruit in Huaxia's Ninth Army. Breakthrough to First-Order Martial Artist in Martial Calendar Year 237, April. Later, while patrolling in Cangjie Mountain, he was attacked by a Vicious Beast, blood poison entered his body, and he sacrificed in Martial Calendar Year 239, April.】"
"This..."
Li Yuan's pupils dilated, and he subconsciously looked at another New Recruit.
He also received a life history; he sacrificed in a Star Realm battle four years later...
"It can't be fake, can it?"
Li Yuan instinctively didn't quite believe that he could see a person's future.
But looking at the 【Human Race Civilization Countdown to Extinction: 30.12 Years】 silently hovering before him,
he had no choice but to believe it.
"So, in the next thirty years, Blue Star will undergo a major change, leading to the complete extinguishing of the flame of civilization..."
Just then, a New Recruit exclaimed.
"You, you're Mu Batian from No. 1 Middle School? Mu Batian, who Breakthrough to First-Order Martial Artist and Awakened Grade A Martial Arts Talent?!"
Amidst the clamor, the New Recruits' gazes turned towards him.
Those who Breakthrough to First-Order Martial Artist during the college entrance exam period... there were dozens of them across the entire city each year.
But those who Breakthrough to First-Order Martial Artist and Awakened a Martial Arts Talent?
There were only a handful in the entire Tianyang City!
Not to mention the rare Grade A.
Definitely a top Genius!
Logically, he should have gone to The Five Greats academies for further study, but he enlisted so early?
Li Yuan also looked over.
He saw a slightly smaller, rather delicate-looking, clean young man.
Facing the surprised and eager gazes converging on him, he merely nodded slightly and gave a faint 'hmm'.
He appeared a bit aloof, but it wasn't the kind of coldness that kept people a thousand miles away.
"Mu Batian... that name is a bit too much..."
Li Yuan tried to focus his gaze.
Sure enough, several smaller prompts popped up.
"【Name: Mu Batian】"
"【Gender: Male】"
"【Life and Death: Martial Calendar Year 218, September - Martial Calendar Year 262, January】"
"【Martial Dao Realm: Eighth-Order Martial Artist】"
"【Biography: ...Graduated from Tianyang City First Middle School in Martial Calendar Year 236, June, becoming a New Recruit in Huaxia's Ninth Army. Breakthrough to Seventh-Order Grandmaster Martial Artist in Martial Calendar Year 261, May... Forcibly devoured the Ninth-Order Thunder Dragon Emperor's marrow, barely surviving, and his Grade A Martial Arts Talent Purple Spear Profound Lightning evolved into S-grade Soaring Dragon Purple Lightning... In Martial Calendar Year 262, March, during the Han River Star Realm defense battle, he killed two Immortal Bright Clan Eighth-Order powerhouses, and finally perished with a heavily injured Ninth-Order powerhouse, sacrificing heroically.】"
After reading the prompt.
Li Yuan looked at Mu Batian, who was sitting on the baffle, expressionless, trying to maintain his balance amidst the truck's bumps, appearing a bit chuunibyou and subtly showing off.
He suddenly felt that his name was quite fitting.
Screech—!
The truck braked sharply and stopped.
The New Recruits in the carriage tumbled about.
The dark green military tarp covering the truck slid off, and the surrounding scenery came into view.
It wasn't the imagined military camp, but a vast abandoned factory.
Five military trucks were parked on the open ground.
After a brief moment of astonishment, about a hundred New Recruits looked around.
"Is this for a training assessment?"
Li Yuan, who had watched many military films, guessed what was happening, silently got up, and was the first to jump onto the dilapidated concrete ground.
The open ground was about the size of a basketball court.
Around it were various dilapidated abandoned factory buildings, and directly in front was a tightly shut, rust-covered metal gate.
Li Yuan stared at the metal gate.
An instinctive sense of danger filled his entire body, and his hairs stood on end.
"Brothers, what's going on? Why did they dump us in this godforsaken place?"
A New Recruit asked, full of confusion.
"I don't know, didn't they say we were going to the New Recruit camp?"
"No one's in the driver's seat, but there's this thing." A New Recruit jumped out of the driver's seat, holding an alloy battle Blade nearly a meter long in his hand: "Brothers, things aren't looking good."
At this point, even a fool would sense that something was wrong.
They looked at each other, hoping someone would come up with an idea.
Suddenly.
The rust-covered metal gate let out a tremor, and under everyone's gaze, it crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
In the dust.
A pair of blood-red eyes lit up, slowly emerging and entering everyone's view.
"Holy crap! A first-order Vicious Beast Bloodshadow Boar!"
The voice was a little shaky.
Martial Arts high schools, in addition to training Qi and blood, also required learning specialized knowledge.
Such as the composition of human bones and muscles, the circulatory System... as well as common Vicious Beast and alien race identification methods and weaknesses.
This Bloodshadow Boar, with its bristly fur and robust physique, was a relatively common first-order Vicious Beast.
Judging by its bloodshot eyes and violent, bloodthirsty appearance, it had clearly been hungry for a long time.
This was the first time all the New Recruits had faced a Vicious Beast directly.
Seeing such a robust Bloodshadow Boar, their legs trembled slightly.
Just then, a person walked out.
With a grasp of his right hand, amidst crackling lightning, a lightning spear over a meter long appeared in his hand.
He confidently walked towards the Bloodshadow Boar.
It was Mu Batian, a first-order Martial Artist with Grade A Martial Arts Talent.
The New Recruits' eyes instantly lit up.
No longer afraid, they all raised their fists to cheer on Mu Batian, also eager to witness a talented Martial Artist fight a Vicious Beast.
Hearing the cheers from behind.
Mu Batian's lips curved slightly, quickly flattening, and he walked step by step towards the Bloodshadow Boar with a hint of disdain.
However, from the dust, a second Bloodshadow Boar soon emerged.
Followed by three, four, five... and finally, what emerged was a second-order Bloodshadow Boar with a body like a wild ox, its bristly fur glowing faintly!
Mu Batian's expression froze, and he turned and ran without hesitation.
At the same time, he roared, "Quick, hide in the abandoned factory building!"
The New Recruits scattered with a "whoosh."
They scurried towards the abandoned factory building.
At the same time.
Li Yuan arrived outside a military truck's driver's cabin and took out an alloy battle Blade gleaming with cold light.
Killing Vicious Beasts could earn Upgrade Points.
It could also demonstrate his talent to the military high-ranking officials who were watching, thereby gaining access to military resources.
This kind of start... seemed quite good.
