Chapter 612 - 422: General Star Appears, the Martial Exhibition Begins!
To the southwest of Shenjiang City lies a vast ocean bay named Shenjiang Bay, which was sealed off by the Military Department about half a month ago.
In the past two weeks, Shenjiang City’s residents have been vaguely speculating that some major event is likely to occur soon.
However, the residents of Shenjiang City are not overly concerned about this. Since the founding of Huaxia, it has always been a prominent global powerhouse, relying not on soft diplomacy but on hard power.
The public firmly believes in the Five Major War Zones, the Huaxia Military Department, and the Huaxia Martial Saint as strong backers, so as long as there has been no major official announcement, there’s nothing to worry about.
A few days ago, there was a somewhat significant piece of news in Shenjiang City: a newly established A-Class Hunting Corps named Flame Snow.
According to the regulations of the Huaxia Hunter Association, to establish an A-Class Hunting Corps, in addition to members meeting the required Hunting Points, at least one S-Class Hunter is needed.
An S-Class Hunter must gather the required Hunting Points and satisfy the condition of being a Martial Arts Grandmaster to advance.
Yet, this newly formed A-Class Flame Snow Hunting Corps does not fulfill these criteria, as its only two members recently advanced to A-Class Hunters.
The news naturally provoked dissatisfaction among many veteran hunting corps, especially the Quasi-A-Class Hunting Corps that have not yet completed their advancement.
"The incident with the Fire Flood Dragon dealt a severe blow to our local Hunter Association, wiping out several Quasi-A-Class Hunting Corps at once."
"Precisely, that’s the case. Our Hunter Association likely wants to quickly replenish fresh blood, which is why they hastily approved Flame Snow’s advancement to A-Class."
"You’re mistaken. I heard those two are not simple. Regardless, just the achievement of gathering enough Hunting Points in such a short time is no easy feat..."
"I also heard that although those two are not S-Class Hunters, they can jointly fight against an S-Class Hunter. Otherwise, do you think the association would let them advance to A-Class?"
"Are they really that formidable?!"
"Of course, it’s true. My uncle is a core member of the Shenjiang City Hunter Association. Many Martial Arts Families reportedly sought them out recently, and even a mentor from South China Saint Martial University invited them to study at Saint Martial University, but they both declined."
"They said their reason for declining is that they already have a master."
"What? They turned down such a good opportunity? Are they just foolish? What does having a master matter; I’d be thrilled to have that opportunity!"
Over the past few days, numerous hunters within the Hunter Association have felt envious about the experiences of the two members of the Flame Snow Hunting Corps, with many harboring intense jealousy in their hearts.
Hush!
At this moment, someone within the Hunter Association uttered a whisper. Many turned toward the sound, spotting two young women entering the Hunter Association.
"Look, the main characters are here."
"Are you kidding? They’re the two from the Flame Snow Hunting Corps; they look way too young, don’t they? They seem about twenty years old yet reportedly can jointly suppress an S-Class Hunter comparable to a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"
The next second, the voices of doubt abruptly ceased.
A colossal Fierce Beast corpse, nearly ten meters in size, appeared. Upon seeing such a massive creature, numerous hunters within the association were stunned.
Soon afterward, the silence broke, and then the entire room erupted into a clamor.
A tall hunter approached the two, "I’m the leader of the A-Class Hunting Corps, the Gale Corps. Since we are both A-Class Hunting Corps, I would like to see if you two deserve the A-Class title."
"I challenge you, though you can refuse and admit defeat right now!"
As soon as he spoke, numerous eyes turned to the two, filled with schadenfreude and pity.
...
The crow of a rooster heralds the dawn; three days later.
At certain moment, the ground of Shenjiang City quaked, and armored vehicles streamed like torrents toward the sealed Shenjiang Bay.
Boom, boom, boom-----
Many residents, having just slightly recovered from the shock of the steel torrent, looked skyward with pride and awe, hearing the sound of breaking through the heavens.
As the first aircraft sliced through the sky, one after another followed, dense like dark clouds, sweeping toward the bay.
Shenjiang City’s coastline.
On a fishing boat, an old fisherman felt the sudden turbulence and let out a light ’huh.’ He had checked the weather forecast for these days; there shouldn’t be any strong winds today.
So why did the fishing boat suddenly start wobbling?
While the fisherman was puzzled, his son on the boat excitedly pointed in a direction.
"Dad, look, what is that?"
The old fisherman looked and saw a small black dot on the calm sea surface, but in just a few seconds, that black dot transformed into a massive object.
The fishing boat, measuring several meters, was insignificantly small in front of this massive steel object, hardly surpassing the waves crashed by the warship.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Black dots appeared one after another, and then warships sliced through the sea, riding the wind and waves, as a specially significant grand military exercise was about to commence.
Inside the sealed Shenjiang Bay, tens of thousands of drones and underwater cameras were already in place; meanwhile, satellites high in the sky were mobilized, as this special exercise footage would be fully recorded and archived.
At this moment, from the bay’s north, Qi and Blood surged skyward like a flood, focusing revealed several Martial Artists wearing camouflage combat uniforms crossing the sea.
The leading man was muscular, stepping on a red lance, traversing the bay, his Qi and Blood thick, faintly forming a Flood Dragon, which roared into the sea, stirring clouds and winds, creating giant waves.
