"Happy Valentine's Day, wishing all lovers in the world to become a couple~~"
King Hongxiang instinctively swallowed his saliva.
To be honest, at his age, he wouldn't normally fantasize about a sentence, a statement that resembled a daydream. If anyone had said something like that to him when he was in good spirits, he would have kicked that person away as a light punishment.
But now it was different; the person saying this to him was a powerhouse who could injure him with a single move, a genius who had crossed several ranks in just a hundred days!
What he said could not be disregarded by King Hongxiang.
The person now held his life and death in their hands; even if they farted, he would have to take it seriously. That was King Hongxiang's current mindset.
However, after considering it seriously, King Hongxiang began to feel somewhat warm inside.
Even though he knew that such things were unlikely to happen, he couldn't help but imagine; what if it could really be as this person said, then…
But the pain in his body quickly pulled him back to reality, and he decided to ignore this fanciful kid.
Indeed, this guy was incredible, possessing extremely outstanding talent and magical abilities, and he came from some other world.
But so what? That didn't mean he was invincible. Until now, he had never encountered the army of the Temple of Dawn; he would never truly understand their horror. They were a group of killing machines; the combined population of all the posthumous child tribes was far less than that of the Temple of Dawn, and their number of warriors was several times that of the latter.
Yet why had they never won even once?
In almost every aspect—equipment, individual quality, overall quality, tactical use, strategic vision, and so on—they were suppressed. Even in native operations, they were consistently defeated.
The invincible image of the Temple of Dawn had deeply penetrated into the souls of all posthumous children, and King Hongxiang was no exception.
Ye Zhongming squinted, observing the changes in King Hongxiang's expressions, and roughly guessed his thoughts. He didn't care much; instead, he took out the Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun and shot at the stone wall inside the mountain. This time, Ye Zhongming did not hide the purple glow emanating from the equipment at all.
King Hongxiang could move his head freely. When he turned to look, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.
The stone wall seemed fine, but the deep marks inside and the colors that were obviously different from elsewhere still made his heart skip a beat.
Seconds later, where the wall was struck, fragments began to fall, revealing a large hole.
The power displayed by the Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun combined with lightning energy stunned King Hongxiang.
But that wasn’t all. Ye Zhongming snapped his fingers, and a sky-breaking series magic crystal cannon was pushed over. Right beside King Hongxiang's ear, it fired with a loud bang.
This gave King Hongxiang an even greater shock. Such a thing could shoot very far, and the power was quite impressive. Although it wasn't as powerful as the purple-glowing gun from earlier, he could see several of them!
Next, Ye Zhongming brought the dazed Hongxiang to stand before the Jingjue Floating Sphere. The prince was completely dumbfounded; he had never seen something so… bizarre. The metallic texture and modern feel of it left this country bumpkin in a state of shock.
"How about it, King Hongxiang? Now do you feel there's hope in what I said?"
This time, Hongxiang truly believed it.
He couldn't help but believe; all of these things exceeded his understanding. It was akin to someone from the medieval era suddenly finding themselves in the modern world, seeing all the cars on the road and planes in the sky—his emotions were far from completely chaotic.
However, this belief was cautious; after all, war was far more than just comparing whose equipment was better. Moreover, in King Hongxiang's mind, these unfamiliar weapons might not necessarily be stronger than those of the Temple of Dawn.
