Ye Yu's heart suddenly leaped into his throat. As a special operations soldier, he was well aware that the missile fired by the Silver Dragon Guard was a planet-class high-explosive bomb known as the "Hell Demon." Even a typical military-grade battleship would not survive a direct hit!
"It seems I can only use my original power once to escape this disaster!" Just as the missile from the Silver Dragon Guard whizzed out, Jin Shan's face flashed with a barely noticeable change as he murmured to himself.
With that, Jin Shan turned to Ye Yu and said, "Help me find the highest purity Energy Crystal you can locate!"
As soon as Jin Shan finished speaking, Ye Yu felt the lights inside the ship dim. The next moment, a buzzing sound filled his ears, growing louder and more intense!
In just an instant, Ye Yu felt a tightening sensation all over his body, as if an invisible, immense force enveloped him completely.
He felt darkness closing in around him, and it was as if he were being pulled down toward a brilliant planet by this tremendous force. With Ye Yu's unique attributes, he felt dizzy under the pull of this great strength!
At that moment, his beloved also lost her balance and fell directly into Ye Yu's arms. Instinctively, he caught the Azure Marked Woman, feeling her soft and rounded form against him, accompanied by a faint fragrance. Ye Yu's heart raced at this unexpected tenderness, but before he could fully appreciate it, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he lost consciousness.
Time passed—how long, he couldn't tell—before Ye Yu awoke from his stupor. The once brilliant starry sky had transformed into a vast blue expanse. Looking around, he found himself in a lush green forest.
"Is this... Sin City?"
Ye Yu scanned his surroundings and immediately spotted a towering sword-shaped structure in the distance—it was the iconic building of this Special Administrative Planet: the Northern District Special Administrative Region Council Building!
Suddenly, at that moment, Ye Yu felt a fierce wind rushing from his side; an icy killing intent approached in the blink of an eye!
Having spent ten years in the military, Ye Yu instinctively tilted his head just in time to evade what could have been a fatal strike!
A loud metallic clang echoed in his ears as he barely avoided it. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Huaying's furious expression; her beautiful face was tinged with anger and a hint of crimson.
Seeing that her attack had missed Ye Yu, Huaying's eyes widened in surprise. But in the next moment, a flash of blue light sparkled in her gaze. Her other arm—smooth and white like jade—suddenly surged forward toward Ye Yu's face with incredible speed.
Ye Yu's heart sank in shock. Just moments ago, Huaying's strike had caused the entire mech to shudder. If that punch had been delivered with even a bit more force to his face, he would have surely met a disastrous fate!
Without hesitation, Ye Yu slammed his hand onto the mech's control switch, and the hatch beside him burst open with a loud bang. At that instant, his legs sprang into action; as soon as the hatch opened, he pushed off the cockpit floor with all his might, launching himself out like a cannonball.
Though it felt like an eternity, everything happened in the blink of an eye. At that moment, Huaying's punch barely grazed the spot where Ye Yu had just been standing.
"Whoosh—"
Ye Yu let out a long sigh, astonished. The woman before him, despite having sustained injuries herself, posed such a significant threat. It was no wonder that the technologically inferior Blue Seal Empire had managed to hold its ground against the Federation for a millennium.
Just then, Huaying realized her two strikes had missed their target. A flicker of panic crossed her starry eyes. In the next instant, she vanished from the mech with a blur of motion, her movements fluid and graceful without any hint of hesitation.
"Where is this place?" Huaying asked, furrowing her brow as she spoke in Federation Language, though her words came out somewhat stiffly.
"You wake up and immediately start attacking me. If I weren't somewhat agile, I might not be in one piece right now!" Ye Yu felt a surge of irritation; for some reason, seeing the icy demeanor of the woman before him made him want to provoke her further.
"Impudent!" Huaying exclaimed upon noticing Ye Yu's nonchalant attitude. Clenching her fists tightly, she transformed into a gust of wind and charged at him.
Ye Yu silently lamented; if he were to be killed by her now, it would truly be a loss!
However, he was no ordinary person. With a powerful push from his legs, he evaded Huaying's fierce attack like a ghost. Yet she was already upon him; he dared not underestimate her.
Suddenly, Ye Yu's arms swelled with strength. Without caring for any sense of chivalry, he seized one of Huaying's arms tightly!
"Hmph!"
A cold snort echoed in Ye Yu's ears, and Huaying's gaze grew even colder.
In the next moment, without any visible movement from Huaying, Ye Yu suddenly felt the soft arm in his hand turn as rigid as iron in an instant!
Before Ye Yu could comprehend what had happened, a tremendous force surged through his arms and spread throughout his body! Instantly, he felt a wave of blood and energy surging within him, as if something in his stomach was about to be expelled!
At that very moment of discomfort, Huaying had already withdrawn her arms, which transformed into shadowy figures shooting towards Ye Yu's neck.
Ye Yu let out a loud roar, expelling the foul air from his lungs, his face turning as red as if he had been drinking. Almost simultaneously, he crossed his previously numb arms together!
At that instant, Huaying's fists struck down upon him, landing squarely on Ye Yu's arms!
With a resounding crash, akin to metal colliding with wood, a figure screamed and flew backward!
The sound of a break echoed as Ye Yu felt a tremendous force hit his back. A tree trunk the thickness of a bowl snapped instantly. At the same time, sharp pain shot through his spine.
"Pfft—" A mouthful of blood spewed forth, soaking his battle attire in crimson.
"This is Third Stage martial arts!"
Ye Yu looked at the beautiful woman approaching him step by step with a disheveled expression. His admiration for her had long been suppressed in his mind. He never expected that such a seemingly young Delicate Woman could possess such immense strength! His own arm strength was around five hundred kilograms, yet it was easily shattered by her. It seemed her explosive power reached at least a thousand kilograms! He knew that achieving an attack power of that magnitude was a basic requirement for martial arts to reach the Third Stage.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to know the Empire's martial arts. It seems you're not an ordinary person in the Federation!" As she spoke, Huaying stepped closer, her coldness intensifying.
Thoughts raced through Ye Yu's mind. He found himself in a dense forest; the thick layer of fallen leaves indicated that this place was rarely visited. It would be some time before anyone came to rescue him! Given Huaying's strength, even if he were fully prepared, he would not stand a chance against her in a one-on-one confrontation.
"Yes, I am a Federation Soldier. I assume Miss Huaying is not an ordinary person in the Blue Seal Empire; otherwise, she wouldn't have risked herself to venture deep into the Federation's territory!" Ye Yu slowly stood up, immediately feeling the pain from his wounds and grimacing.
"In that case, you will be my graduation project. Wish me luck in becoming a true soldier!" Huaying smirked, as if she had found her prey.
In the next moment, Huaying transformed into a blur and struck towards Ye Yu's chest once more!
Ye Yu had already been paying close attention to Huaying's every move. Just as she was about to land her blow, he suppressed the pain in his back and suddenly shot to the side!
He realized that his Phase Gun, which had been hanging at his waist, had somehow ended up in the cockpit of the mech. At this moment, only the Phase Gun could provide him with a sense of security.
As Ye Yu dashed out, he noticed that Huaying made no immediate move. Suddenly, he felt a tightening around his body as a tremendous force surged from his waist throughout his entire being!
In an instant, Ye Yu felt like a sandbag, his body becoming a blurred figure as he crashed into a nearby tree. However, this time the force was nowhere near as strong as the previous strike. Enduring the tearing pain in his abdomen, Ye Yu slammed his hands against the ground. Using that momentum, he flipped in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground.
"Wow—" A hint of surprise flashed in Huaying's eyes as her movements halted. She looked curiously at the pale-faced Ye Yu.
"Where did you learn Imperial Martial Arts?" After a brief silence, Huaying asked with a softened tone. She had already concluded that Ye Yu had practiced the Empire's martial arts based on his earlier movements.
Ye Yu was taken aback by her question. This martial art had been taught to him by his father when he was young; however, at that time he could barely grasp the training methods for the first Third Stage. Over the years, no one had taught him further; he had relied solely on his own exploration to advance this technique to the second stage level that enhanced physical strength and speed. The martial art was divided into Nine Levels. Although Ye Yu did not know what reaching Nine Levels entailed, even at his second-stage level, his strength surpassed that of many special soldiers known for their power in the military.
It was precisely because he practiced martial arts that Ye Yu could demonstrate impressive abilities, allowing him to stay in Arrow Camp for ten years and successfully join the Elite Task Force. Yet he never expected that upon arriving at the front lines of combat between the Federation and Blue Seal Empire for the first time, he would nearly meet a disastrous fate.
