Dark Moon Era

Yang Kong rejected Anthony because an energy crystal core was an important energy reserve for Safety Sector No. 17 as it had many uses.

His words rang true as well. Tang Ling and those who understood the way of battle thought that Anthony could have used his last move at the very start to end the fight even quicker.

Anthony reacted to Yang Kong’s words with a disdainful look. He spat on the ground and said, “What? Do you think I’m playing around, trying to gain sympathy and stuff? Why do you think I tangled with it so long and purposely left a dozen cuts on its body is for? To make the battle look a little harder?”

“Yang Kong, you might be very outstanding in some aspects, but you are an idiot in judging a battle. This Raider dragon is very good with its tongue, but its body is also similarly powerful. Did I leave cuts on its body to injure him? No, I was limiting its speed! I gave everything I got in every single slash on the creature. The electric current that I unleashed even reach 10,000 amps. Otherwise, it wasn’t enough to affect its huge body. Do I need to explain more? If its body wasn’t restrained, the last stab could not have nailed its tongue! The way it fought was perfect. It moved its tongue and body at the same time!”

“This is the conclusion that I came up with by risking my life. All those things I said to you guys were just to numb its senses, misleading it to think that I still hadn’t seen through its secret. It understood the human language, doesn’t it?”

Anthony then sat on the battlefield and rested for a while. He then continued, “I’ve given my best in this fight. My distribution of spoils will not change.”

“Fine.” Yang Kong was being very direct this time. At least, he could still tell Anthony was not lying.

“Great.” Anthony stood up and tapped the dust off his backside. He grabbed a cigarette from his pocket and put it into his mouth. “I’m not going back to the command center. I need to go have some rest. Send my spoils to my base, will ya?”

Spitting a cloud of smoke, Anthony suddenly said to the camera, “Yang Kong, boy, didn’t Fei Long tell you that the rarest and the highest tier in the battle of a Purple Moon Warriors is his battle wisdom? Like my battle wisdom?”

After that, Anthony carried his Night Lightning over his shoulder and disappeared from the battlefield, leaving the girls screaming.

Yang Kong was not mad at Anthony’s teasing. Instead, he heaved a breath of relief. Although he suspected Anthony had already seen through the Raider dragon’s secret and its speed could be restrained by his lightning which was the reason why he requested to be deployed, the crisis was over, was it not?

As for the so-called battle instinct or battle wisdom?

Yang Kong suddenly turned around to Tang Ling, suddenly remembering why Fei Long liked the kid so much. It was because Fei Long thought that Tang Ling had the most outstanding battle wisdom!

Sensing Yang Kong’s gaze, Tang Ling was a little embarrassed. Does Yang Kong have mind-reading abilities? Did he read my mind and know that I agreed with Anthony’s words, deeming him a battle idiot?

Alas, of course, Tang Ling’s face was thick, so he adapted to Yang Kong’s gaze quickly enough.

Nonetheless, he was rather worried about his own misjudgment about Anthony’s battle.

Tang Ling could not tolerate his mistake. How could forget about why Anthony decided to tangle with the Raider dragon in the first place? However, his mistake was mostly due to him having too little information about the fight.

Of course, Tang Ling was the only one who was frustrated. The other young warriors were soaked in the overwhelming sensation from the high tier battle.

Were the Purple Moon Warriors this powerful? The battle completely surpassed the basic elements of battle, which was strength, speed, and reflexes.

Were Purple Moon Warriors competing in abilities at their stage? And did their abilities vary depending on the person?

Even Yu and Orston were overwhelmed because the ability that Anthony displayed was of his own, unlike their abilities which were from their families. Both were two entirely different concepts.

Everyone started to wonder what their own abilities would be like. They still did not understand at what stage would the ability of a Purple Moon Warrior manifest.

Yang Kong quietly waited for the young warriors to react. They were considered lucky to be able to watch such a battle. After all, such a high tier battle would not happen frequently even at the Hope Barrier.

After a full three minutes later, the young warriors finally came back to their senses. They remembered that they were still in a class at the command center.

Yang Kong then stood up and returned the commanding authority from the commander.

The battlefield that went quiet due to that intense fight instantly bustled again. The ferocious and arrogant Raider dragon never would have thought that it would be lying dead on the ground in less than five minutes.

There were many men with special tools around its dead body as they were trying to dissect it for the precious resources of this era.

“How was it? Do all of you have a better understanding of the Hope Barrier through the battle?” Yang Kong asked as he looked at the encouraged young warriors before him.

“I understand it a lot better!” Orston was simple. The understanding that he was referring to was knowing what the Hope Barrier looked like.

Yu kept quiet, but his eyes showed a trace of doubt. It seemed like he had his own thoughts running in his mind.

As for Amir who never expressed himself, he lowered his head in silence. No one knew whether he got a better understanding or not.

Andy did not think that far, but he assumed Tang Ling would have the answer.

As for the two girls who were rather smart during normal times, they were infatuated by Anthony’s valiant bearing, so everything about the Hope Barrier was temporarily discarded.

Tang Ling already had questions lingering in his heart for a long while, and since Yang Kong mentioned it, he ought to get to the bottom of this.

He stepped up.

Yang Kong looked at Tang Ling, anticipating what would the boy ask.

“I’ve understood the surface of the Hope Barrier, but, Instructor Yang Kong, you still haven’t explained the key point to us.”

“Then, what do you think the key point is?”

“The key point is the meaning of its existence. What was the Hope Barrier built for?” Tang Ling voiced out his question out loud.

As his words subsided, several other warriors in the command center looked at him with a meaningful gaze. They had to admit that this boy was a sharp one.

How many of the New Moon Warriors would think of that during their first visit? Whether it was at Safety Sector No. 17 or at the Hope Barrier, the warriors had to uphold strict discipline.

Even for the people who were not warriors, being able to stay alive in this era was not easy, especially when trying to achieve a stable life. Who would want to think about what this was all about?

Of course, deeper thought about it would link this whole place and Safety Sector No. 17 behind the Cliff of Hope. The Safety Zone, which was where the settlement used to be, or even the forest of the Secondary Safety Zone was much safer and was a better place.

Plus, with the natural protection from the Cliff of Hope, at least Safety Sector No. 17’s sanctuary was secured.

So, why would the endless fierce battles at the ruins behind the cliff be necessary?
