Chapter 80 - For the Dream

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Most of the people in the world were watching this special documentary on screen. Previously, when they felt sorrow, shed tears and showed sympathy, those were actually cheap sympathy, sorrow and tears.

erhaps even they themselves did not realize what this war meant. They could not empathize with it. Even if all three million people in Dragonlith City were dead, they would only think of it as a string of numbers.

Without seeing it with their own eyes, there was no way they could empathize through a screen. They were sitting at home in air conditioning and enjoying sumptuous food. At most, they would cry a little. How could

they understand the cruelty of the battlefield?

However, things were different now. An inhuman expert who had broken the genetic lock was dead.

Although human society was technologically advanced, due to the threat of the dire beasts in the Outland, martial artists, especially the inhuman experts who had broken the genetic lock, were the pillars of human

society!

Everyone had grown up listening to the legends of inhuman experts. In the eyes of many ordinary people, once one had broken the genetic lock, they were practically invincible.

The inhuman experts were omnipotent. They expanded frontiers and protected humans. Few people would think that inhuman experts could die. In their impression, inhuman experts dying in battle was almost

unheard of.

But now, an inhuman expert was indeed dead. Moreover, it happened right in front of their eyes. Through the screen, they could feel the sorrow of the inhuman expert before his death, and the brutality of the

battlefield.

Only at this moment did many people realize that the three million citizens of Dragonlith City were not a string of numbers, but living people like themselves.

Martial artists risked their lives on the battlefield, not for the sake of earning their cheap tears and sympathy, but truly to protect them with their lives!

This war happening thousands of kilometers away was not a war that had nothing to do with them, but a war that decided their fates, and was inextricably linked to them!

With the death of an inhuman expert, many ordinary people had an “awakening”. Perhaps this would become a major turning point in human history in the future. Humans had been at peace for too long, to the point

that ordinary people had even long forgotten the threat of dire beasts.

Thus, many people even began to petition in front of the government buildings and in front of the various armed forces buildings of various states to send experts to assist Dragonlith City.

Some martial artists even organized teams online with the intention of saving Dragonlith City themselves, but all of them were stopped by the government.

The battlefield was in shambles. Originally, a total of 16 inhuman experts retreated from the Dragon Mountain Base to Dragonlith City, but now, only 15 were left.

Inhuman experts shared a deep friendship. This was because even the weakest inhuman expert could live for more than 200 years, which could be considered longevity. If there were no hidden injuries, they could even

live for more than 300 years.

As a result, many inhuman experts had known each other for many years and developed a deep friendship. But now, one of them had died, which invoked great sorrow in the other 15 inhuman experts.

However, the death of an inhuman expert was only the beginning.

Although the blast from the inhuman expert’s self-detonation was very strong, and the three demons in the center were all blasted into pieces at once, they were not dead. Their flesh squirmed and they quickly

recovered.

This was the terrible regenerative ability of the fleshworm dire beasts. If their body tissues were not quickly destroyed, these demons would be impossible to kill.

This was also the real reason why even though so many inhuman experts had clearly severely injured the demons earlier, they still could not kill these demons in the end.

This also caused the situation of the inhuman experts to become increasingly dangerous.

The self-detonation of the inhuman experts also attracted the attention of those demons. Lin Feng was undoubtedly lucky. After the two demons were sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion, they stopped

paying attention to Lin Feng and joined the ranks of the demons who were besieging the inhuman experts instead.

Lin Feng lay in a pool of blood, amidst a pile of dire beast corpses. In contrast, he did not attract much attention. Even the camera had left Lin Feng and was focused on the inhuman experts who had broken the genetic

lock.

No matter how outstanding Lin Feng’s performance was before, no matter how valiant he was, his influence was naturally far inferior to that of the inhuman experts.

All eyes were also focused on the inhuman experts, because the remaining 15 inhuman experts might decide the outcome of this war and the fate of the three million people in Dragonlith City.

The 15 inhuman experts, including Chief Commander Long Duo, were actually all in imminent danger. The 15 inhuman experts were stronger than those demons in terms of attacking power. In a one-on-one battle, the

inhuman experts would always have the advantage.

This was thanks to martial arts. After human martial artists broke the genetic lock, they would obtain physiques that could contend with those demons, as well as all kinds of miraculous abilities.

However, human martial artists still possessed martial arts. Martial arts were originally created to defeat a stronger party from a position of weakness, so in a situation where there was not much difference between

their physiques, human martial artists naturally had the advantage.

If these weren’t fleshworm dire beasts, a miracle might really happen.

Unfortunately, these fleshworm dire beasts might possess an ability, and that was regenerative ability, also known as immortality!

There was no such thing as absolute immortality in this world, but these dire beasts that looked like gigantic fleshworms all had terrifying regenerative powers. Even if their heads were smashed into pieces, they would

recover very quickly.

They could rapidly recover from any serious injuries to any part of their bodies. If they could wantonly destroy the body tissues of these demons in a short period of time and preventing them from converging, after a

period of time, these demons would naturally die.

However, the 30 demons would never allow human martial artists to destroy their body tissues arbitrarily.

As a result, the 15 inhuman experts were in an extremely difficult situation. Without a miracle, this was destined to be a war doomed to failure.

However, the 15 inhuman experts did not give up. Even the professional martial artists besieged by the dire beasts did not give up. They still had a sliver of hope. Even though this sliver of hope was too minuscule, they

continued to persevere.

Ten hours. As long as they could hold out for 10 hours, one of the Nine Sages, the Invincible Fist Sage, would arrive at Dragonlith City. At that time, no matter how strong these demons were or how many dire beasts

there were, they would be safe.

This was not blind reverence, but absolute confidence.

Sages were magnificent existences that suppressed the terrifying great demons in the depths of the Outland. They were the greatest guarantee that humanity could rely on to survive in this world!

Although only two hours had passed, having some hope was better than none at all.

Lin Feng’s figure was no longer on camera. Perhaps most people had already forgotten about that young martial artist who had appeared time and again.

However, some people did not forget.

na spacious room, a man who had lost his legs was staring intently at the television screen.

He was Yu Shan, who was lucky enough to return to his hometown from Dragonlith City beforehand.

n his despondent state, he had returned to his hometown without even bidding farewell to Lin Feng. However, never in a million years did he expect a parasite incident to break out in Dragonlith City.

He was all too familiar with those damn fleshworm dire beasts. It was precisely because of these dire beasts that he had lost his legs and his pride as a martial artist!

ow, these damn dire beasts were making a comeback. Countless former comrades of his were fighting desperately at the frontline, while he was the only one lying in a wheelchair, watching this bleak scene through

the screen.

When he saw the inhuman expert self-destruct and Lin Feng’s heavily injured body fall to the ground, he clenched his hands tightly, and veins bulged on his arms.

“Lin Feng, get up! You could save me back then. You could kill a dire beast king. You could create miracles time and time again. You can definitely do it again this time!

“There is great terror in life-or-death situations, but also great opportunity. Get up quickly. You can break the genetic lock. You can create miracles.

“Break the genetic lock. Fulfill the dream that Shui Yuansheng, Gao Tianci, and I cannot. You can definitely break the genetic lock!”

Yu Shan knew that Lin Feng could not hear him, but he still yelled at the top of his lungs.

This was his comrade, a comrade that he could not give up even in death, and a close friend who bore his dreams.

Yu Shan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his fingernails had even dug into his palm. Blood flowed out, but his gaze was filled with unprecedented determination, and with eager anticipation and desire! This was his silent

cry!

“For the sake of our shared dream, for the sake of surviving! Lin Feng, you must break the genetic lock! You must! You must! You must!”.
