However, Wang Yifeng's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Wang Ye's head, extinguishing the flicker of hope that had just started to kindle in his heart.

"Stop dreaming. This is just one of my avatars, not my real body. Its strength is merely that of a first-class warrior. The reason I could hit you just now was due to my superior combat experience, which is indeed much stronger than yours."

"First-class warrior..."

Wang Ye's previously spirited eyes instantly lost their luster.

If a first-class warrior had offered help before, Wang Ye would have been thrilled, but after learning of the enemy's strength, a first-class warrior on Wang Ye's side actually didn't mean much.

Wang Ye gazed eagerly at Wang Yifeng.

"Don't look at me with that expression," Wang Yifeng promptly refused Wang Ye, "Even this avatar of mine can't support you during combat. It's only here to impart the knowledge and experience needed to become a Peerless Warrior."

After a while, Wang Yifeng appeared again.

But just like before, Wang Yifeng wouldn't directly help Wang Ye when he faced difficulties, he would just teach him some methods.

Ultimately, solving the problems still depended on Wang Ye himself.

"Peerless Warrior?"

Wang Ye spoke, but there was no excitement in his tone.

Before, he had eagerly desired to break through to become a Peerless Warrior, delighting with every advance in his realm.

But now, knowing that even breaking through to a first-class warrior wouldn't enable him to deal with those from Spirit Star, Wang Ye didn't feel the concept of becoming a Peerless Warrior was all that significant.

In the end, when facing the enemy, the result would still be loss.

"Damn it!"

Wang Ye's expression brought out a sense of frustration in Wang Yifeng.

"True Qi has revived! Who told you that becoming a Peerless Warrior was the highest level possible?"

Wang Yifeng was truly furious!

Before, when True Qi had not fully revived, indeed becoming a Peerless Warrior was the greatest limitation in this world.

But the crux of the matter is that now, True Qi has revived.

Couldn't Wang Ye's vision be a bit more far-seeing?

"On my journey here, I've heard messages, almost everyone praising you, calling you the pride of Dragon Country, the future pillar of our society. But now, I see you're worth nothing!"

Wang Yifeng scolded vigorously, and Wang Ye's slightly despondent eyes regained their spark.

He looked fiercely at Wang Yifeng, his eyes filled with even more pride than when he first saw Wang Yifeng:

"Master, are you saying that after we break through to become Peerless Warriors, we can continue to enhance our strength and realm? Can we even reach the powerful realms of those existences from Spirit Star?"

"And also, Boss Long, Elder Xu, as well as Gu Lao, after learning the methods, their strength could also rise to the level of Peerless Warriors or even higher?"

Wang Ye's eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Wang Yifeng.

If that was truly the case, then he would be satisfied even if Wang Yifeng didn't help them, just by telling Wang Ye the route to break through to a Peerless Warrior and even further.

Facing difficulties, Wang Ye was actually not afraid.

What did Wang Ye fear?

No path ahead!

Despite striving hard, due to no path ahead, he could only be forced to accept despair, eventually sinking into the darkness.

Danger, is Wang Ye afraid?

Not afraid!

Difficulty, is Wang Ye afraid?

Not afraid!

What Wang Ye feared was that, despite endless danger and difficulty, no matter how desperately or how tirelessly he labored to overcome it, their efforts seemed to be in vain, like punching a lump of cotton, without feeling anything else.

Now, knowing that there was still a way forward, that effort was worthwhile, Wang Ye wouldn't feel anything was amiss.

"Nonsense."

Seeing Wang Ye's condition improve, Wang Yifeng's mood lifted slightly, but when he looked at Wang Ye, he still felt some irritation. Thinking about Wang Ye's recent state, he had an urge to grab Wang Ye and give him a thorough beating.

"I told you from the start not to echo others' words, to accept whatever they said as truth. You, on Earth Star, have a strength that is second to few; how can you not have any thoughts of your own?"

"I understand now!"

A beaming smile spread across Wang Ye's face!

Like a sunflower seeing the sun.

The previous smile, which resembled a chrysanthemum under the sun, was feigned, with drooping leaves, but now it was different.

"Then Master, please tell me quickly how to break through to the rank of Peerless Warrior."

"Mm."

...

The media announced the victory of this battle online and informed netizens that Wang Ye and his team had not exerted their full strength today. They were merely concealing their true capabilities to prevent enemies from finding out their limits.

Among these, the fact that no students from Yuncheng Martial Science University who participated in the battle had died was analyzed.

The netizens believed it too.

After all, if not for sufficient strength, how could these students have protected themselves?

As for those spreading negative comments, the soldiers promptly arrested these individuals, just as Long Qingtian had said, in special times, special measures were taken!

The soldiers, along with various martial arts associations, sent people everywhere, not sparing even the smallest places, to conduct searches. As soon as any suspicious individuals appeared, they were immediately arrested for interrogation.

Even the wild beasts began to be registered meticulously by designated personnel.

The Military Department.

Long Qingtian and Xu Heng sat with teacups in hand, looking at the stream of messages being reported from the front lines, the success of which relaxed the expressions on their faces quite a bit.

However, every time they brought the tea to their lips, they tasted a bitterness that prevented them from drinking it.

The bitterness wasn't from the tea.

It was from Wang Ye.

To be precise, it was Wang Ye's laugh.

Now, thinking back to Wang Ye's departure, although he had felt quite desperate at heart, the forced smile on his face made Long Qingtian and Xu Heng feel very uncomfortable.

"Do you think, might Wang Ye develop any psychological issues because of this?" Xu Heng asked worriedly.

Although Wang Ye's face was smiling, both he and Long Qingtian could tell that Wang Ye's condition wasn't very good.

"He probably... won't, right?"
