Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Protecting Everyone

Three days later, the third battle began.

As usual, Ye An sweated profusely on the training ground, but during his downtime, he browsed through the interstellar network of the human realm.

The counterattack from the divine realm had already commenced.

Yelu cruelly produced the video of Liu Jun lying in a pool of blood, and this video swept through the entire human realm like a storm.

Teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old didn't understand why their parents were in tears.

Liu Jun, a name that should have disappeared, now dominated the headlines of all news reports today.

Who is Liu Jun?

Ye An looked at the detailed information about him and was deeply moved.

Because this guy's life trajectory was remarkably similar to his own.

Born in a border town of the Seventh Great Wall, just half a day's drive from his hometown of Tian Shui City, calling them fellow villagers would not be an exaggeration.

Due to the lack of cultivation resources, Ye An could only wear a mask and set foot in the 67th war zone as a minor, exchanging feats and resources to defend the homeland.

Liu Jun's talent was not high either; he was assessed as S-class back then, named Fearless Vanguard.

Just from the name, it was clear it was a mediocre talent. Its effect was to boost martial intent when the user had no fear in their heart.

The increase was minimal. Before Liu Jun appeared, the strength of this talent was only enough to match the little finger of the Fist of the Supreme.

Because his talent was not high, no one from the High Celestial Domain would naturally come to recruit Liu Jun.

If he wanted to advance, he could only do as Ye An did: conceal his age and engage in combat.

At sixteen, he made a name for himself in the 61st war zone.

Clad in white with a spear, at sixteen, he single-handedly held back a demon special forces unit.

It was a tumultuous battle, evenly matched on the front lines, when the demon special forces suddenly launched a surprise attack from the side.

With no troops available, the commander of the 61st war zone didn't know how to respond.

Sixteen-year-old Liu Jun shouted, "I'll go!" and advanced alone with his spear.

He displayed astonishing combat skills during the battle; he had mastered the six basic forms of spear technique to a perfect level.

Ye An suddenly frowned and quickly checked the data, finding that different people had extreme evaluations of Liu Jun's character.

Those who loved Liu Jun said he was a kind angel.

But Liu Jun's competitors said he was unruly, arrogant, and fearless.

No, don't look at other people's evaluations, judge Liu Jun based on what he did himself.

In the following two years, no matter how strong he became, how much favor he gained from strong people, he would spend more than a month each year returning to his hometown.

The Seventh Great Wall, the 61st war zone, was his hometown. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, you could see him standing on the desolate beacon tower under the bright white moon, waving a silver spear.

He kept moving forward; his strength had long surpassed his former comrades, and his comrades couldn't help but advise him not to waste time coming back.

This place does not belong to you.

But he just stubbornly shook his head and still came back on time. Later, he made more resources and would distribute them to everyone.

He cherished old times and valued emotions.

After he turned eighteen, he began to compete for a place in the Hall of Human Kings. The name Liu Jun began to spread rapidly within the human realm.

No matter what competition he participated in, Liu Jun could always win. He was an existence that was significantly stronger than his peers.

Finally, on the day he won the position of the Hall of Human Kings with the first place, Liu Jun stood on the stage where everyone was watching, his eyes somewhat trance-like, then suddenly laughed foolishly, and tears flowed from his eyes.

People began to wonder what powerful teenager had experienced in these years, why would he cry with joy?

Unexpectedly, the young man didn't even attend the press conference. After leaving, he took a spaceship and rushed back to his hometown without stopping.

He ran wildly on the beacon tower with the first badge of the Hall of Human Kings, excitedly sharing his achievements with his comrades.

At this moment, Ye An suddenly realized.

Liu Jun seemed to have no family.

This Great Wall, built of blood, was his home.

He finally stood on that familiar beacon tower, shouting to the sky, "I can continue to protect everyone!"

This seemed to be the entire meaning of his life.

In the end, he also fell on the battlefield protecting the human realm, fulfilling his belief throughout his life.
