An instant kill.
Another instant kill.
The world fell utterly silent.
Only the figure in sea-blue power armor remained, standing silently upon a soundless battlefield of flesh and ruin.
"This is...!"
Mike’s weak voice murmured over the comms, filled with undisguised shock.
"This... This is the Ultramarines Chapter’s Standard Power Armor! This is a real... Ultimate Warrior!"
Zheng Dong’s voice, in contrast, carried a hint of fanatical reverence.
"How is it possible... for an Ultimate Warrior to take on a rescue mission of our level?"
Captain Wan Shuang’s voice was also filled with deep confusion.
The Ultramarines Chapter was one of the Empire’s most elite and powerful Space Marine Chapters.
Every single one of them was a Constant Star-level existence, a top-tier prodigy selected from billions of other geniuses!
So how could a being of that caliber be here?
Though their minds swirled with countless questions, the four of them acted in surprising unison.
They forced their battered bodies, already pushed past their limits, to struggle up from the ground.
Then, at the same time, they removed their battered power armor helmets, revealing faces smeared with blood and grime.
Next, they faced the powerful, blue-armored figure who had saved their lives and executed the most standard, most solemn Imperial military salute.
Qin Feng did the same.
His gaze fell upon the sea-blue power armor, a strange sense of familiarity stirring within him.
He had seen power armor like this before.
It was almost identical to the suit worn by the Black Hole Level Powerhouse from years ago, the great Zhou Xiong.
However, the golden engravings and decorations on this suit were far simpler than those of the great Zhou Xiong.
"Thank you for saving us, Senior."
Qin Feng and the other three spoke in unison, using the last of their strength to express their most sincere thanks.
The Ultimate Warrior had already turned, seemingly about to depart.
But upon hearing Qin Feng’s voice, he paused.
Slowly, he turned back around.
The sharp gaze hidden beneath the blue helmet landed on Qin Feng.
A moment later, a voice tinged with surprise and amusement drifted from beneath the helmet.
"It’s you?"
As he spoke, the Ultimate Warrior disengaged his helmet.
With a soft CLICK.
The helmet retracted slowly, revealing a familiar face—one Qin Feng would never have expected to see.
It was the face of a middle-aged man, plain in appearance but with resolute features.
"Sun... Master Sun?!"
Qin Feng was utterly stunned.
This man before him... this legendary Ultimate Warrior who had, with casual ease, slaughtered a million-strong Green-skinned Army and one-shot a War Lord with a life force index of eight thousand.
To think it was Master Sun, the very man who had saved him on the Star of Enlightenment!
"Mm."
Sun Chan Hall smiled. His smile was just as gentle as it had been all those years ago.
He paid no mind to Mike and the other two, whose jaws had practically hit the floor. Instead, he strode out of the ravaged, hole-ridden commercial building and onto the dilapidated street, which was piled high with the corpses of the green-skins.
His gaze finally settled on a dilapidated sign hanging crookedly above the ruins. On it were the four large words: Extreme Martial Arts Hall.
He stopped and gazed at the sign, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.
After a moment, he spoke in a low voice. "I have quite a few Martial Arts Halls under my name. To make things easier, I set them all up for automatic payment deductions."
"But I recently noticed that even though this metropolitan area has clearly been overrun by green-skins, this specific Martial Arts Hall of mine is still deducting maintenance fees from my account every single month."
"So, I came over to see what was going on."
"I didn’t expect to end up saving you all. I guess you could call it fate."
He pursed his lips.
"This Planet Governor is shady, still taking my money."
Finished, he turned back to the four of them and said, "Qin Feng, you stay. The rest of you can go now."
"Huh?"
Mike, Zheng Dong, and Wan Shuang were all taken aback.
They glanced suspiciously at Qin Feng, then back at the unfathomable Ultimate Warrior. Their eyes screamed with a mixture of shock and confusion, as if to ask, ’How the hell does a kid like you know a god-tier powerhouse like him?’
This went way beyond ordinary connections.
This was a direct line to the gods!
After all, even the academy’s most elusive instructors—the kind you rarely ever saw—were only Constant Star-level Powerhouses.
The three of them exchanged a glance, and a clear understanding passed between them.
Without another word, they immediately gave Sun Chan Hall another respectful military salute, then quickly initiated a Subspace Teleport and vanished on the spot.
The space that had been sealed by the WAAAGH! force field had long since returned to normal.
Soon, only Qin Feng and Sun Chan Hall remained on the vast battlefield.
Sun Chan Hall walked up to Qin Feng and looked him up and down, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
"Not bad, not bad at all. It seems that ten thousand Imperial Coins I spent back then weren’t a waste after all."
"Thank you, Master Sun, for giving me a second life!"
Once again, Qin Feng gave a deep, solemn Imperial military salute.
This time, his heart was filled with boundless gratitude.
