“Aaaaah!”

“Aaaah, someone’s dead!”

“Run! Run away!”

“Quiet down, quiet down! Everyone calm down!”

As the star warrior in the SWAT uniform crashed through the glass display window, bloodied and with half his body inside the clothing store, chaos erupted.

“Xuexue?” Xia Yan looked at Han Jiangxue beside her, eager to try.

Han Jiangxue frowned and said, “Xiao Pi, heal him. Let’s go out and take a look.”

Without a word, Jiang Xiao cast a Blessing on the SWAT officer and pressed a Star Seal onto his shoulder.

Jiang Xiao quickly cast a Bell, sending a white wave of healing energy towards the officer. But suddenly, Jiang Xiao felt something was wrong, as if something was following the milky white healing energy, targeting him!

It was as if… it was hidden beneath the pure white healing energy, rushing towards Jiang Xiao from the officer along the path of the Bell.

Whoosh…

Jiang Xiao’s mind faltered slightly. He maintained the action of casting the Bell, the faintly glowing white light from the receding healing energy still lingering in the air, creating a beautiful scene.

But Jiang Xiao’s eyes were somewhat dazed…

The leaping healing energy emitted a crisp, pleasant Bell sound, which calmed the panicked people in the store slightly.

“A star warrior! This child is a star warrior, and a healing-type one at that!” A woman’s overjoyed voice came from behind.

“He looks familiar. And those two girls…” People chattered, and Jiang Xiao and the girls were quickly recognized.

While people were talking, Jiang Xiao shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind.

Jiang Xiao struggled to drag the unconscious officer into the store. At the same moment, a violent, maddened “Moo” suddenly rang out.

Jiang Xiao subconsciously looked up and saw an extremely ugly creature. It had two horns on its head, impaling a corpse that dripped blood everywhere. It rampaged wildly down the middle of the street, smashing everything in its path.

Even Jiang Xiao was startled, let alone the ordinary people.

The entire street was in complete chaos. People screamed, wailed, and cried, and the place instantly turned into a living hell.

Jiang Xiao stared dumbfounded at the huge, charging figure, his mind blank for a moment.

What is that thing!?

Jiang Xiao realized that he had never seen anything like it before!?

At least, he hadn't learned about it in any books.

This ugly creature was over two meters tall and walked upright. Its skin was gray and covered in cracks, like shattered stone.

It had a huge head that resembled a cow, a horse, and a deer all at once, making it look extremely strange. It walked upright with large hands and feet.

Especially its huge claws, with long, sharp nails, and drool constantly dripping from its mouth, making it utterly disgusting.

The ugly stone monster shook its head wildly, flinging the corpse impaled on its horns away. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, exuding a foul stench, and attacked everything in its sight.

Seeing such a cruel scene, Han Jiangxue couldn’t stand by and do nothing. She couldn't worry about anything else; she wanted to control the situation, at least until the Triumphant Army and the Star Warrior Police arrived.

With a flick of her fingers, Han Jiangxue sent the ugly monster with its shattered stone skin spiraling into the sky on a whirlwind.

“Xuexue, do you have a knife? Even Xiao Pi’s will do. Quick, give me a knife,” Xia Yan said urgently.

While controlling the whirlwind, Han Jiangxue hurriedly opened the Shattered Space. Xia Yan stretched out her arm and quickly rummaged around inside, pulling out Jiang Xiao’s steel greatsword.

Xia Yan even waved it around in her hand, as if disliking it, finding the sword a little too light.

Xia Yan walked out from the broken glass display case, wielding the greatsword.

Behind her, a middle-aged woman’s voice suddenly called out, “Girl, where are you going? It’s dangerous outside! Come back!”

“Yes, yes,” an uncle echoed. “If you rashly get involved in the fighting, you’ll be held responsible afterward.”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

“Come back, don’t interfere. Just protect us.”

What had started as well-intentioned words gradually soured.

Xia Yan had been hesitating, but when she inadvertently heard the phrase “just protect us,” she instantly became furious.

But just as Xia Yan was about to swing the greatsword and unleash a Flame Arc at the ugly monster in the sky, the Triumphant Army arrived!

Leading the charge was a long-haired man with a resolute face, wielding a spear.

This man looked to be around 30 years old, his ponytail fluttering behind him as he sped forward. He wore the Triumphant Army’s distinctive yellow-gray camouflage uniform.

Of course, these strange colors weren’t for show; they were meant to attract attention.

The uniform was made of the same material as traffic police reflective vests and construction worker safety vests, designed to attract as much attention as possible.

Unlike the Guardian Army and the Night Watch in other dimensions, the Triumphant Army didn’t need to conceal themselves. On the contrary, they wanted to be conspicuous, to attract the extra-dimensional creatures that suddenly appeared on Earth and draw the fire onto themselves.

Of course, due to the variety of extra-dimensional creatures and their different physical structures, the results varied.

But one thing was certain: being an assassin in the Triumphant Army was a very difficult job.

But I digress.

This resolute man with the fluttering ponytail clearly caught everyone's attention. He held his spear, surrounded by arcs of electricity, electrifying the scene!

Electric-type star techniques truly lived up to their reputation as having the highest output!

The man's uniform was bright, but the electricity was even brighter!

This man truly achieved the effect of "a flash of cold steel arrives first, followed by the spear like a dragon."

Seeing the Triumphant Army arrive, Han Jiangxue quickly withdrew her whirlwind.

The man fired a bolt of electricity from the tip of his spear, directly hitting the falling ugly stone monster.

Then, the man advanced rapidly, gripping his spear tightly. In a standard horse stance, he thrust the spear forward.

Bang!

The ugly stone monster wasn’t knocked away, but impaled straight through.

This showed how sharp the man’s spear was and how skillfully he used his strength.

If it had been a human, they would have undoubtedly been dead, but… but the ugly stone monster didn’t seem to be dead?

The ugly stone monster swung its huge claw.

It was over two meters tall, with thick, long arms and sharp claws covered in wisps of black mist.

Tear!

The resolute man’s right shoulder was slashed deeply, his clothes torn and the wound extremely deep!

The resolute man didn’t seem to feel it. Although it was his first time facing this newly appeared creature, he didn't panic at all. He yanked back his spear and used it like a club, flipping his body skillfully and bringing the spear down from above!

Electricity surged around the spear, and the ugly stone monster was instantly smashed to pieces!

The ugly stone monster was directly smashed into a pile of rubble, a bizarre scene.

In just a few seconds, the rocky skin transformed into grayish-black flesh, still terrifying even in its "flesh and blood" form.

"Ze Bin, are you alright?" Accompanied by the sound of a Bell, a gentle and refined middle-aged man quickly approached.

Finding a scholarly general among this group of tigers and wolves was rare. He was Wei Zhi, the team's healing-type star warrior and tactical commander.

Yan Ze Bin didn’t even look at his quickly healing wound. He silently shook his head, his gaze fixed on the chaotic scene far down Central Avenue.

Ahead, along the stone-paved road, were the rampaging figures of ugly stone monsters, destroying roads and shops. But more importantly, they were attacking living people!

A deep voice came from Yan Ze Bin’s side: "Go!"

As he spoke, the figure darted out, ghostly and incredibly fast.

"Ye Ying, hold it! Drop to position 2!" Wei Zhi, the tactical commander, quickly called out.

Yan Ze Bin also rushed forward. No one noticed that the skin on his right arm, which had been torn by the ugly stone monster's claws and then healed by Wei Zhi’s Bell, was gradually turning a patch of dirty black.

Standing next to Wei Zhi was a handsome young man, the youngest member of the team.

He stared solemnly into the distance, waving his hands continuously. Dreamlike starlight fell from the sky, bombarding the ugly stone monsters one by one.

The starlight was dazzling and extremely powerful, capable of taking down an ugly stone monster with just two hits. But it consumed an outrageous amount of star power!

Before long, the young man felt his body emptying and said breathlessly, "Commander, there are too many of them, and they're coming out too fast! I can't control the field anymore. I need to switch star techniques, or else…"

A star map in the shape of a feather fan suddenly bloomed on Wei Zhi’s body, and he thrust a scepter into the ground to help him recover his star power: "Hold on, Shen Hao. The other squads are on their way. You…"

But,

The star power recovered by the gray and white scepter couldn’t keep up with Shen Hao’s Starfall.

Shen Hao’s body was going limp, and his legs were shaking. It was clear that he had overused his star power. Although he said he was going to switch star techniques, he was actually gritting his teeth and holding on.

Because this star technique was extremely powerful, able to eliminate an ugly stone monster with just two hits. The shorter the time it took to kill the enemies, the more people could escape to safety!

And Shen Hao seemed to only have this one star technique that he could rely on, and the other star techniques…

Just then, a thick, black beam of light shot over, startling Wei Zhi.

Shen Hao, exhausted, only realized that he had been stabbed by a thick, black beam of light when he felt his star power surge wildly.

Inside the clothing store, Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded. The Water Hose was truly something else! His own star power was dropping rapidly!

Holy crap,

This guy was this weak?

Some people seem fierce on the surface, but their bodies are already hollowed out?

Wei Zhi turned to look at Jiang Xiao and nodded his head in gratitude, but suddenly felt that these kids looked familiar?

Weren't they... the No. 1 High School team from Bei Jiang?
