Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Master and Disciple! Killing Can Yield Spiritual Nourishment

"Here." Li Yuan moved like lightning, but at this moment, he deliberately slowed himself down, calming his mind to the extreme, straining to listen to the sounds within the walls.

Whoosh!

"The rush over here affected me a bit," Li Yuan took a deep breath, channeling his inner strength, relaxing countless minute energies in preparation for the next burst.

He didn't rush forward impulsively but instead focused on adjusting his own state.

One cannot maintain maximum effort for long.

For high-level martial artists at level 19, their sprinting speed could reach 100 meters per second, but it couldn't be sustained for long... Li Yuan's explosive power in his state of heightened awareness was even more so.

Just like ordinary people who might sprint at 10 meters per second, but running 1000 meters in 100 seconds is unrealistic.

His opponent was a second-stage Fish Spirit warrior. If Li Yuan were to face it alone, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Whoosh!

Silently, Li Yuan activated his special source power battle suit.

Without channeling source power into it, the defensive capabilities of the suit would be significantly reduced.

But similarly, without the source power, the battle suit would remain inconspicuous under the armor's outer layer, allowing Li Yuan to easily blend into the darkness.

With a light leap, Li Yuan jumped onto the four or five meter high school wall, squatting on the top.

Looking down, Li Yuan surveyed the situation, seeing a terrifyingly tall figure shrouded in blue light and another that looked like a flame warrior holding a long spear, engaged in a fierce battle on the school playground over three hundred meters away.

The battle took place near one side of a teaching building.

At this moment, the teaching building was half-collapsed, with faint wails audible, clearly affected by the battle's aftermath.

Simultaneously, Li Yuan's peripheral vision caught sight of numerous figures fighting across the playground and between the teaching buildings.

They were all human martial artists and Fish Spirit warriors.

With just one glance, Li Yuan assessed that the human martial artists were at a definite disadvantage.

"[Target creature, life level 19.9]"

"[Target creature, life level 20.1, second-stage creature, lightly injured, currently around 19.9, killing it can yield spiritual nourishment]" As Li Yuan surveyed the situation at Nanhua Primary School, he instantly obtained the basic information of the two main combatants with a thought.

"[Target creature, life level 19.1]"

"[Target creature, life level 18.1]"

"[Tar...]" Li Yuan quickly scanned the other Fish Spirit warriors within his sight.

The information about the only second-stage Fish Spirit warrior immediately caught Li Yuan's attention.

Spiritual nourishment?

"My spiritual awakening has long reached its limit. Despite killing many Fish Spirit warriors on this mission, there hasn't been any improvement," Li Yuan thought quickly. "Why does the Divine Palace panel indicate that killing this second-stage Fish Spirit warrior can yield spiritual nourishment?"

He had clearly reached his limit.

Previously, his spiritual awakening limit increased from 20% to 25% due to his spiritual power breaking through to level 20.

"There's no such reminder for 19-level warriors."

"Could it be because this is a second-stage alien?" A thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

He had never killed a second-stage alien before.

However, the situation was urgent, leaving no time for Li Yuan to ponder. From leaping onto the school wall to fully understanding the situation, it took less than 0.5 seconds before he leapt down, darting towards a human martial artists in dire straits.

...

Beside the teaching building.

"Kill! Kill!" The second-stage Fish Spirit warrior roared, its four arms gripping two war blades, repeatedly lunging at Xu Bo.

"Boom~"

The ground cracked with each impact, sending stones flying. Any stray attack hitting the teaching building would shatter walls, scattering debris everywhere.

Fortunately, the teaching buildings were heavily reinforced and built with advanced technology, preventing easy collapse despite the intense battle. The building remained partially standing.

Compared to wielding only a short sword at the school gate, Li Yuan, now fully armed with a long spear, was several times more powerful, his destructive power astonishing.

19-level Fish Spirit warriors? They were no match for him.

"Teacher Xing, go help the others." Li Yuan's calm voice floated by.

Teacher Xing, who had just been saved and was panting heavily without even having time to thank Li Yuan, was startled by the familiar voice: "Li Yuan?"

He was incredulous.

In his memory, Li Yuan had just graduated from high school less than half a year ago and had only recently become a martial artist. Could he now kill 19-level Fish Spirit warriors with ease?

The change was too drastic, so much so that Teacher Xing couldn't immediately process it.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan had already dashed out tens of meters, sending another high-level Fish Spirit warrior flying with a spear thrust.

"Truly formidable," Teacher Xing marveled, quickly rushing to assist the other martial artists.

Instinctively.

"Old Xu." Teacher Xing glanced at Xu Bo, who was still battling the second-stage alien in the distance.

"Hold on."

To survive, Teacher Xing's best option was to retreat from Nanhua Primary School immediately and escape into the complex streets... But he didn't do that.

Nor did anyone else.

All the human martial artists saved by Li Yuan mostly took a breath or two before rushing towards other Fish Spirit warriors again.

Everyone knew.

There was no retreat, only fighting with all their might for a chance to survive today.

...

"Slash!" Another spear pierced a high-level Fish Spirit warrior.

"28 seconds."

"Killed 5 high-level Fish Spirit warriors." Li Yuan glanced around.

The fierce battle continued, but the situation for many human martial artists had greatly improved.

At this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A small aircraft descended rapidly, and figures leapt out.

"Kill!" "Kill!"

Angry roars echoed; Fang Longhu and the others, after some hesitation, had finally chosen to join the fray.

"Reinforcements."

"Other martial artist teams are here." The surviving human martial artists grew more excited, seeing the hope of victory and survival.

...

On the other side.

Boom!

Li Yuan's body shot forward like an arrow, covering tens of meters in an instant, roaring towards the still-engaged Xu Bo and the second-stage Fish Spirit warrior.

With a few leaps and flashes, he was already close.

"Boom!" Li Yuan gripped his spear with both hands, leaping and thrusting it forward, his terrifying strength fully unleashed, pouring entirely into the spear.

A faint yellow glow flickered at the spear's tip.

It should be noted.

In his state of heightened awareness, Li Yuan's punch strength reached 35,000 kilograms. With the addition of source power and the sprinting momentum, the power of this thrust was absolutely astounding.

"Swish!"

The spear shot straight for the second-stage Fish Spirit warrior's chest!
