While he thought about it, the rising and falling cheers around him gradually died down.
It was replaced by a solemn and respectful atmosphere.
Meng Chao looked up and noticed that dozens of square formations were already standing at the center of the public square.
In front of the public square was a monument that had just been erected.
It commemorated the heroic spirits who sacrificed themselves during the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City.
The monument was nearly one hundred meters tall, and it was made of superalloy mixed with monster bone powder. Its edges were clear, and it shone brilliantly. It was like a sharp blade from Earth that stabbed deep into the Other World's soil.
The base of the monument was carved into the shape of countless monster carcasses. It symbolized how human civilization defeated the monster civilization.
The surface of the monument was hollowed out, and the names of all the people who sacrificed themselves in the battle were carved into it.
When the noon sun shone in through the top of the monument, it reflected, refracted, and diffracted the light in the hollowed out names, and it turned into a beautiful rainbow rain.
No matter which angle Meng Chao looked at it from, he was enveloped by the rainbow rain, as if he was protected by the heroic spirits of the martyrs.
This scene left Meng Chao a little dazed.
He could not help but remember the same place and similar experiences in his previous life.
At that time, there were also monuments in the public square.
But they were not monuments of victory to boast about their martial arts.
Instead, there were monuments to the victims that numbered ten times more.
The bloodstains on the monument represented the devastating battles that Dragon City went through during the Monster War.
At that time, when the citizens came to the public square, they were not as fired up and full of fighting spirit as they were now.
Instead, they were sad, fearful, confused, angry, and a mixture of both.
This comparison made Meng Chao sigh in relief.
No matter what, the most difficult moment was over.
Even if the road ahead was long and there were one hundred times more dangers and challenges waiting for him and all Dragon Citizens.
At the very least, it could not be worse than the destruction in his previous life, right?
…
The night after the victory parade ended was the first meal Meng Chao had in the past half a month, no, in the past half a year, and it was a home-cooked meal personally cooked by his mother.
Soon after he reached Heaven Realm, he went into the wild to train for three months. When he returned to Dragon City, the Deification Capsule incident happened, and his family's warehouse was robbed. Then, he went straight into the lair and fought against the Vortex.
After the battle in the lair, he went to Burning Island and chased after and harvested monsters all over the place. He was so busy that he did not have time to go home to eat.
In fact, his physique was much stronger than half a year ago.
His muscles and tendons were as firm as steel bars bound by steel wires.
But in Bai Suxin's eyes, he had become tanned and thin. Clearly, he had been tortured badly by the damn monsters.
His mother's heart ached so much that she hugged his head and rubbed it for a long time. She repeatedly confirmed that there were no shocking scars on his body before she heaved a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he nagged at him to pay attention to his safety and not to risk his life. The environment in Dragon City was good now, so there was no need for him to venture into dangerous places alone. At the same time, he filled Meng Chao's bowl with delicacies and wanted to stuff the Demonic Halberd Pig down his throat without even chopping it up.
Even though his ears were in pain, Meng Chao was still very happy.
Wasn't the reason why he fought bravely outside so that his family could all sit down and enjoy a warm, home-cooked meal together in peace?
Life was getting better and better.
Once Superstar became bigger and its business became more high-end, Meng Yishan gradually found himself unable to do as he wished.
He decided to let Xie Xiaofeng and the professional managers handle most of the business while he brought his friends to work in the harvesting business. He also managed a canning factory specifically for the Red Dragon Army.
Meng Yishan was a retired soldier from the Red Dragon Army. He had skills and connections, so he was very familiar with managing things.
He felt a sense of accomplishment when he worked, and when he went out, people called him CEO Meng. Naturally, he became younger as he lived, and he was completely different from the old man Meng Chao remembered from his previous life, who had lost his hair and looked haggard.
After Bai Suxin underwent biochemical joint replacement surgery and was injected with a large amount of cell regeneration fluid, her legs became much better.
In truth, she was only in her forties. She was far from the age where she could only buy groceries, cook, and play mahjong. She did not want to stay at home all day and eat nothing.
Meng Chao decided to use Nie Chenglong's connections to help her get a job as a nurse in the hospital affiliated to the abnormal beast research department.
Bai Suxin had taken a medical nursing license in the past, but she did not want to embarrass her son, so she put in a lot of effort to get used to it. Now, she was really happy working. Even though it was a little hard and tiring, she was always smiling, and her complexion was good. Compared to the time before Meng Chao's national college examination, she was like a completely different person.
There was no need to even mention his younger sister.
Even though a girl went through a lot of changes when she grew up and grew like a vine after a few months, she was getting closer to the image of the Dark Witch in Meng Chao's previous life.
But she was enthusiastic, cheerful, and full of energy. She was like a spinning sun.
She should not have continued to turn evil, right?
Of course, the girl was a little clingy.
She insisted on getting to the bottom of things and understanding every detail of Meng Chao's training in the wild and the battle in the lair. She wanted to know just how he managed to get the legendary blood seal.
Then, she swung her fists and declared war on her older brother. She swore that she would definitely reach Heaven Realm earlier than Meng Chao and seize the title of the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City.
She even wanted to play with her older brother's Golden Tooth Saber. Was this something that a girl who had not awakened to supernatural abilities could play with?
She was even more curious about Meng Chao's current strength and how strong he was. While Meng Chao was busy eating, she kicked under the table and ambushed her older brother.
When she kicked Meng Chao's calf and nearly cracked it, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears fell down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace. She rubbed her toes and grimaced as she complained to Bai Suxin, "Mom, Big Bro is bullying me!"
Meng Chao was really at his wit's end because of the girl's pestering.
Of course, it was also because his mother had served him bowl after bowl of stew, and he could not handle it.
Meng Chao put down his bowl and wiped his lips. He decided to grab his younger sister's collar and drag her into his room.
"Mom, I'm done eating. I haven't seen my sister for a long time. Let's get to know each other!"
Meng Chao closed the door and hooked his finger at Bai Jiacao. "Come, didn't you want to know just how strong I am now? I'll give you a chance to challenge me!"
A thought appeared in Bai Jiacao's head, and she puffed up her cheeks. "I don't want to! You're a Heaven Realm superhuman, and I haven't even awakened to supernatural abilities. Challenge you? I'd rather be bullied to death by you! "
"How could I bear to bully you?"
Meng Chao grinned and showed his pearly teeth. "The teachers in your school and the experts I hired with a high salary have evaluated you. With your strength, you could have awakened to supernatural abilities a long time ago. But to solidify your foundation, I've been suppressing your cultivation realm.
"Of course, I won't use supernatural abilities. I'll just use my physical fitness and basic skills to spar with you.
"How about it? This is a rare chance. If you miss it, I don't know when I'll be free next time!"
Bai Jiacao's fox-like eyes darted around.
"Forget it. You're my dearest big brother, and you're the hero who shocked Dragon City. I can't do anything to you, okay? I'll go and help my mom wash the dishes! "
As Bai Jiacao spoke, she walked to the door.
But when she passed by Meng Chao, she suddenly raised her leg. "Take this!"
Meng Chao naturally did not care about his sister's petty tricks.
But he did not want to use his sturdy bones to injure his sister's toes.
Just as he expected, he kept his promise. He restrained his spirit energy, slowed down, and suppressed his vitality magnetic field to the max. He only used 5% of his fighting strength to fight against Bai Jiacao.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Both of them moved around and instantly exchanged more than one hundred moves in the narrow space.
But due to Meng Chao's careful control, he did not bump into any of the furnishings in the room.
He nonchalantly neutralized Bai Jiacao's seemingly fierce attacks.
At the same time, he assessed his sister's strength.
She was indeed different from a normal high school student.
It was not a problem of speed, strength, or how much spirit energy she had.
These numbers on paper could be built up with resources.
But the longer Meng Chao fought on the battlefield, the more he understood a truth. The numbers on paper and the results of a fight were two different things.
It did not mean that a person's cultivation realm was high enough to survive in a hellish slaughterhouse.
Some people were born predators. The deeper they went into a sea of corpses, the more excited they became, and the more they could bring out fighting strength that surpassed their limits.
Meng Chao was this kind of person.
Clearly, Bai Jiacao was the same.
Her attacks might have been young, but her eyes were incredibly intense and fierce.
Every single one of her attacks contained the determination to die together with her, along with endless changes.
Not every high school student had the resolve to do whatever it took to win and survive.
Not every high school student had the resolve to "pay any price for victory and survival".
Just as he expected, the Night Demon Blood in her had not been removed. Perhaps it would never be removed?
A thought appeared in Meng Chao's head, and his gaze turned dark.
He bent back and avoided Bai Jiacao's whirlwind like kicks. When he shot back, his eyes were filled with the blood-red light of the apocalypse.
A mental attack as fierce as a tomahawk surged into Bai Jiacao's mind.
The girl felt her vision blur. She felt as if she saw a monster horde formed by millions of Hell Beasts charging at her from the burning ruins of a city.
She was so terrified that her face turned pale. With a yelp, she fell to the ground.
Then, she got up with purple flames burning in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and swung them. She said angrily, "You broke the rules! You broke the rules! You said you weren't going to use supernatural abilities!"
"It's not supernatural abilities. I just accidentally leaked a few wisps of killing intent."
Meng Chao quickly pulled his sister up and observed her pupils to see whether her mind was damaged. "Young Cao, are you okay?"
"Of course I'm okay. What's with that look? It's so scary!"
Bai Jiacao slapped her chest and said, "Next time, when you go out, don't show that fierce look in front of other girls, or else, you'll scare them away!"
When he saw that his sister was still alive and kicking, Meng Chao sighed in relief.
He grabbed Bai Jiacao's palm and rubbed the back of her hand. Then, he wrapped a few wisps of spirit energy around her optic nerves and observed her carefully like a microscope.
"Big Brother, you're acting weird today. Is there something on the back of my hand?" Bai Jiacao could not figure out what was going on.
"Not yet …"
Meng Chao sank into deep thought.
Based on the memories from his previous life, when his sister turned into the Dark Witch, she had an X-shaped eye on the back of her hand.
Based on A 'Ji, the X-shaped eye was usually hidden in the bearer's blood. It would only appear when the bearer was greatly stimulated, ran into danger, or was like A' Ji, who could not control his power well.
Meng Chao sparred with Bai Jiacao because he wanted to confirm whether the X-shaped eye would appear on the back of her hand when she was caught off guard and was greatly stimulated. In fact, she might even "turn" into the Dark Witch or something like that.
If becoming the Dark Witch was Bai Jiacao's destiny …
Then, under his big brother's supervision and education, she would become a righteous witch who had ideals, was polite, cultured, had morals, loved Dragon City and her compatriots, and was willing to contribute to her hometown and civilization.
