"Commander Chen!"
Several nearby security team members tried to rush to his aid, but they were pinned down by other Source Beasts, unable to break free.
Just as the claws of the cyan wolf-like Source Beast were about to slam down on Chen Yuan’s head—
"Whoosh—!"
A razor-sharp spear streak, like a meteor tearing through the night, arrived in an instant!
"Thud!"
The spear pierced precisely through the eye socket of the cyan wolf, skewering its brain!
The once-arrogant ninth-tier Source Beast froze mid-motion.
Its massive body stiffened for a split second before collapsing to the ground with a heavy thud. After a few spasms, it fell completely still.
A pitch-black spear was lodged diagonally into its skull, the shaft still trembling faintly.
The battlefield fell into dead silence.
It was as if everyone had been paused mid-action.
Su Qi reached out, gripped the Lu Jin Spear embedded in the wolf’s head, and pulled it free with a slight tug.
Chen Yuan, too weak to lift his head, spoke in broken gasps: "Wasteful… That spear… shouldn’t have been used here..."
But Su Qi didn’t seem to be in a good mood. "I don’t take orders from you."
A dark purple shadow spread from beneath Su Qi’s feet, creeping across the battlefield like a living thing.
Then came an unbroken chain of explosions.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!"
Each detonation was accompanied by the violent rupture of one or several Source Beasts.
No dazzling light effects, no wild surges of energy—just pure, internal disintegration.
Flesh, shattered bones, and organs, mixed with foul-smelling fluids, rained down in a macabre storm.
The ferocious beasts that had been roaring and charging mere moments ago were now reduced to scattered fragments in the air.
They didn’t even have time to let out a complete cry.
The assault came to an abrupt halt.
The chaotic, clamorous battlefield was suddenly plunged into an eerie stillness.
The scene was nothing short of breathtaking.
But by all logic, Su Qi’s decisive spear strike shouldn’t have been used here.
A tenth-tier Source Beast still lurked in the distance, watching intently.
Yet, when you’re actually on the battlefield, witnessing scenes like this firsthand—
How much rationality can you really hold onto?
Humans are contradictory creatures.
Su Qi had the optimal solution from the start.
He could’ve used his spear to instantly kill a ninth-tier Source Beast, then let the spillover AOE damage clear the field.
As for the tenth-tier beast, he could’ve relied on Liu Yuan’s fatal-counter ability or simply awakened "The Abyss."
But he refused.
The former—what if the damage wasn’t lethal enough and left the beast critically wounded?
The latter… Using power far beyond his limits in battle might invite backlash. Or worse, what if the authorities forcibly conscripted him into the "Celestial Abyss" afterward?
Too many things to consider.
It sounded cold-blooded.
But humans are creatures driven by self-preservation.
Put another way…
People starve to death every day in the world.
You know it happens.
Yet most wouldn’t risk everything to stop it.
Or take some outrageous injustice—you might rage online with the crowd, but how many would actually step forward and say, "Let’s gather evidence together. We can win this"?
Most acts of kindness stem from situations where personal stakes are low.
But when you truly have the power to save lives…
Watching them vanish before your eyes…
That’s asking too much of anyone.
Yet even Chen Yuan—a man infamous for valuing his own skin—had charged onto the battlefield, ready to die…
Su Qi couldn’t help but feel he should do something.
So why are humans born so conflicted?
With Su Qi’s spear strike turning the tide, the rest became much easier to handle.
"Hummm—!"
The jagged breach in the barrier suddenly flared with a surge of pale blue energy, the fractured edges reconnecting!
Though far dimmer and unstable compared to the rest, it was finally… repaired!
The flood of Source Beasts pouring in was abruptly cut off.
A few that had charged too fast slammed into the newly formed barrier and were torn apart by the violent recoil of energy!
"It worked! The barrier’s restored!"
Relief and joy spread rapidly among the survivors.
But soon, that joy was overshadowed by overwhelming grief.
They saw Chen Yuan lying in a pool of blood, saw the comrades who had fallen defending them.
This was war…
Chen Yuan struggled to roll onto his back, gazing up at the sky. "Hey, where’s the medical team? Someone save this old man first—"
Wait… the sky?
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
