!
Then, she had transformed into a mischievous and slightly enchanting little fairy.
But now, Tang Qin resembled a majestic queen, holding the power of life and death in her hands, radiating a solemn, sacred aura.
She inspired both deep respect and a reverence that banished any impure thoughts.
Seeing his big sister Tang Qin become serious again, Ye Yu once more calmed the unrest that had shaken him multiple times today.
He directly explained the reason for his call.
Of course, it was once again about the neutralizing agent formula.
Like Jiang Fang, Tang Qin found it difficult to remain calm upon hearing Ye Yu's words.
Ever since Ye Yu had developed the formula five years ago, she and Jiang Fang had seen their strength soar at a phenomenal rate.
In just four years, they had surpassed those who were originally far more talented than them.
They had reached the ultimate level of High War Masters, earning the title of Invincible War Masters.
She wondered what expression those who once braved dangers alongside them would have if they discovered the truth.
Back then, they weren't the only ones risking their lives in the wilderness.
There were also the other members of the War Master Training Camp.
But unlike the others, who ignored Ye Yu, the two of them had cared for him and raised him.
However, having been stuck at the peak of High War Master level for a year now without breaking through,
even Tang Qin was starting to grow impatient.
Today, the earthly upheavals seemed to intensify, signaling the approach of a new era of Apocalypse.
The period from 2013 to 2021 had been dubbed the Era of the Apocalypse.
Apocalypse, meaning rebirth, was a time when, in just eight years, countless warriors had emerged.
War Masters!
Planetary Warriors!
The emergence of these powerful warriors had skyrocketed.
After the Apocalypse, a phase of relative stability had followed.
Take the Planetary Warriors, for example: in the thirty years after 2021, their number hadn't even reached half of what it was during the Apocalypse.
On average, one Planetary Warrior appeared every two to three years.
But over the past ten years, the number of warriors had steadily increased.
As for War Masters, there was no need to elaborate: in just ten years, their global number had nearly doubled.
And as for Planetary Warriors, they were now appearing at a rate of one per year.
In the past two or three years, that rate had jumped to two per year.
The meaning was clear: a new era of Apocalypse was approaching.
She didn't want to fall behind, because the consequences could be disastrous — even fatal.
Now that the new formula was showing progress, how could she not be excited?
Even if it wasn't yet effective for the flesh of King-level creatures,
but only for Lord-level ones, she was convinced she could break through this ceiling before long and not be left behind.
"Don't worry."
As if sensing Tang Qin's anxiety, Ye Yu gave her a calming look.
And just like that, his gaze alone was enough to soothe her agitation.
She responded with a playful pout, as if to say, "Do I really need your comfort?"
But despite her act, Ye Yu's words had indeed worked.
She didn't know why. Even though she was older and much more powerful than Ye Yu,
every time she saw him or was with him, she felt an odd sense of peace.
A feeling that completely relaxed her.
As if it wasn't her supporting him, but the opposite.
As if she were the little sister and he was the big brother, sometimes making her act childishly without realizing it.
This feeling was inexplicable and irrational, but she didn't reject it. On the contrary, she enjoyed it.
It was perhaps what one would call a sanctuary for the soul.
"Once you've broken through, there'll be no need to keep the basic formula a secret," Ye Yu said.
Because of the system, the external environment Earth was facing was far more hostile than in the original work.
On the human side, even with about twenty more Planetary Warriors than in the original,
the number of King-level creatures in the wild was even higher.
Not to mention the oceans, where King-level monsters far outnumbered those on land.
If possible, even releasing the intermediate formula could be considered.
Of course,
"releasing" didn't mean giving it away for free, but rather using it on a large scale within the army.
With the backing of the entire Chinese military, no fool would dare to cause trouble.
Otherwise, he could also partner with the 极限 Dojo (Ultimate Dojo) and receive royalties.
As for the advanced formula, even if Tang Qin and Jiang Fang reached the Planetary level, they wouldn't be able to protect it.
Unless they reached the level of Hong or Thunder God.
This world was ruled by the law of the strong, and there was no shortage of cunning and treacherous people.
As the saying goes: "Those who kill and steal grow rich, while the virtuous die without a grave."
Without power, even breathing was a mistake.
Without power, building bridges and roads was a crime.
Now imagine Ye Yu owning a formula capable of driving Planetary Warriors insane.
If not for Hong and Thunder God serving as intimidating mountains, the world would have self-destructed from internal strife.
That's why Ye Yu had to grow stronger — fast.
"Alright."
Tang Qin had no objections. Faced with the increasingly tense situation, she too felt the pressure.
The six Chinese bases needed support from all sides, and resources were sorely lacking.
In fact, with Ye Yu's approval,
she had already selected a group of reliable individuals from her Security Department and Guard Battalion two years ago to use the formula on a small scale.
Two years later, the results were more than satisfactory, solidifying her position as a general in the army.
Even if she wasn't often on the front lines, her ability to continuously cultivate high-level talents
was far more valuable than a general on the battlefield.
"As soon as I've got everything settled here, I'll come join you," Tang Qin said.
Her situation was even more complicated than Jiang Fang's.
The breakthrough wouldn't happen in a day or two, and even afterward, she'd need time to stabilize.
So she had to prepare everything before leaving.
Once the call ended, Ye Yu hung up and returned home.
"What if I delivered the formula to them myself?"
Ye Yu found the idea sensible. As for sending it by phone, he wasn't that stupid.
Luo Feng's smart plane, without Babata, didn't even have priority access.
All its actions were monitored by Hong.
If he dared send the formula to his second sister by phone, Hong would know immediately.
Then, he could focus on improving his skills. Even if he had the luxury to slack off, he couldn't afford to become useless.
Even if he went all out and Xu Xin and Liu Ting got pregnant, it would still take ten months for the children to be born.
So Ye Yu immersed himself in training the Nine Thunder Blades.
Training with the blade and improving his strength output was, after dual cultivation, the best way to increase his power.
"Sigh, it's my body that's holding me back."
Logically, if he'd been eating beast meat since childhood, after sixteen years, he would've surpassed this level.
Like Fu Junyu and Tang Xiang, who in just two years went from Mid-level War Masters to Senior War Masters.
