Chapter 937 - 484: The New Human Era
Yan Continent.
Madaga Island.
The videos of warriors displayed at the official Great Xia press conference made Ha Xiaofu and his wife extremely excited.
The Xue Wu Robot, holding the little baby, entertained the baby with various patterns shown on the screen embedded in its palm, making the baby smile frequently, while quietly observing its two new owners.
"...My name is Zhuang Jun. Because the superpower I awakened was an auxiliary type, I wasn’t initially favored by those above.
"Until I received guidance from Mr. Ghost in Shapudian, many began calling me the First Ghost Disciple."
Zhuang Jun’s face appeared on the television.
He was wearing a somewhat dirty military uniform and was standing amidst ruins, looking as if on a battlefield.
"Not long ago, I advanced to a warrior. My superpower has undergone a transformation, and I am now able to listen to the whispers of nature spirits, thereby acquiring some critical information."
The scene changed.
Zhuang Jun was wearing an exoskeleton, with several monster-like corpses lying nearby.
He grinned and said, "Just a moment ago, I led the team to block a squad of Carmenia’s modified weapons, and we wiped them all out."
He suddenly changed his tone: "Oh, I know Carmenians are watching the video too. Almost forgot to say, I’ve awakened a second mental superpower.
"Now my Spiritual Power exceeds 200 points, making me the superpower user with the highest Spirit Value in the Jiuzhou Legion.
"This superpower is also auxiliary, but exceptionally useful. I just gave these monsters a hit, and the team took them down easily."
Facing the world, Zhuang Jun issued a challenge: "I know Carmenians want to kill me, but I can boldly say here, no matter how many you send, it’s a suicide mission.
"As long as Great Xia people remain in the Akz Alliance, Carmenians can never occupy this land, nor can they ever turn Akz people into slaves."
Ha Xiaofu couldn’t help but exclaim, "That was really domineering!"
Erin had a different perspective: "I think Zhuang Jun is absolutely right. Great Xia is Canglan Star’s leader. Without Great Xia’s intervention, Akz would have been finished long ago!"
In this foreigner’s eyes, Great Xia’s historical status has completely surpassed that of the Carmenia Federation, which once ruled the world.
Previously, Carmenia was widely regarded as the "beacon of human civilization," but now Great Xia is globally acknowledged as the "leader of human civilization."
Many foreign media have published articles stating that without Great Xia, human civilization would probably be finished.
Ha Xiaofu sighed again, "Mr. Ghost’s insight is spot-on. As long as Zhuang Jun doesn’t die, he will likely advance to knight in the future."
Erin’s view was even more radical, "I believe Zhuang Jun has a 100% chance of advancing to knight."
Awakening two major mental superpowers so young, with a Spirit Value of 200 points — anyone can see the boundless potential, and reaching 1000 points of Spiritual Power in the future is genuinely not difficult.
In the next period.
The press conference video showcased several more excellent warriors, with the total number displayed reaching 20, before the video ended.
At this point.
No one doubts that Minister Liang’s earlier statement that "Great Xia already possesses 500 warriors" is false.
Erin naturally had a question: "Honey, how did Great Xia suddenly have so many warriors appear?"
Ha Xiaofu stated the obvious: "I don’t know, but I believe it must be related to Sirius Company."
Right at that moment.
Minister Liang’s figure appeared once again at the center of the television screen.
This senior official said with a smile, "I know everyone is eager to know the answer, but before officially announcing it, I would like to introduce someone first."
Another video began.
This time, the one appearing was not a superpower user, but a very frail little girl; just from her pale complexion, one could tell her health was in serious trouble.
Minister Liang asked a question: "This little girl is named Feng Qingqing. This is her photo from a month ago. Everyone can guess how old she is this year."
Erin glanced at the photo and said, "Probably around two years old, considering malnutrition and developmental delay, perhaps three."
Minister Liang, however, gave an unexpected answer: "You might not believe it, but Feng Qingqing is eight years old this year."
Erin blurted out, "That’s impossible!"
By all appearances, the photo doesn’t look like that of an eight-year-old girl.
Ha Xiaofu speculated, "Could it be dwarfism?"
But he guessed wrong.
Minister Liang continued, "She doesn’t have dwarfism either."
This high-ranking official stopped teasing, "Feng Qingqing suffers from a rare condition known as ’Crohn’s disease.’ Many individuals should have heard of Crohn’s disease’s other name, ’green cancer.’
"Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease affecting nutrient absorption, and as the condition worsens, patients experience severe malnutrition.
"Typically, the onset age for Crohn’s disease is between 15 to 35 years old, so patients as young as Feng Qingqing are extremely rare.
"Her condition is now quite serious. Due to facing severe intestinal absorption disorder, her height at eight years old is only comparable to that of a two-year-old.
"After the arrival of the Age of Calamity, although numerous drugs with supernatural power emerged, the hospital tried several special medications on Feng Qingqing.
"Unfortunately, these drugs merely slowed the disease’s progression and couldn’t fully cure Crohn’s disease. Just half a month ago, Feng Qingqing was admitted to intensive care again.
"Doctors have told her parents that unless a miracle occurs, she might only live for another year."
Minister Liang suddenly smiled, "Fortunately, a miracle really happened."
