High-Level Martial Era

"Now, it's my turn to shoulder the load,"

"As the first Prime Warrior of the civilization, deciding the fate of the entire Star Realm's war is my responsibility, as well as an honor," Li Yuan said with a smile, "It's also the ideal I had when I was younger."

The ideal he had when he was younger? Fang Hai was taken aback upon hearing this.

Suddenly, Li Yuan pointed towards the ancient town below, "Principal, I remember this old town used to be quite bustling, but now it seems there are hardly any tourists."

Fang Hai looked down.

Within the haze of the misty rain,

the town that was always lively and prosperous throughout the year was indeed scarcely populated now.

In the past year, during the all-out war in the Mingxu Star Realm, the entire Xia Country had entered a state of total mobilization... Even the home front was far from peace.

Huge amounts of supplies and manpower had been poured into the Star Realm.

At this moment, Fang Hai understood that Li Yuan truly wished to take part in this battle from the bottom of his heart.

"Li Yuan, take this." Fang Hai flipped his palm open.

Within his palm emerged a silver Battle Garment, radiating faint, mysterious fluctuations.

In Li Yuan's Divine Sense perception, the silver Battle Garment didn't even seem to exist.

"Is this the 'Phantom Spirit Garment' that the Alliance Hierarch recently mentioned to me?" Curiosity flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Why was he here waiting for Fang Hai?

It was to wait for Fang Hai to retrieve this treasure from Dongfang Ji.

"Try to bind it to yourself first," Fang Hai waved his hand.

The silver Battle Garment in his palm immediately flew toward Li Yuan.

With a thought, Li Yuan manipulated the forces of heaven and earth, causing the silver Battle Garment to descend in front of him.

He reached out to touch it!

"Sizzle~" Li Yuan quickly imprinted his Spiritual Mark on the Battle Garment, and immediately, Origin Power followed his fingertips, surging into the garment and completing the bonding process.

Whoosh~

With a thought, the thin-as-cicada-wing Battle Garment, like flowing water, merged into Li Yuan's arm, becoming one with his flesh.

Instantly, in Li Yuan's perception, the silver Battle Garment had transformed into streams of silver power that penetrated every part of his body.

The next moment,

"Boom!" Li Yuan's entire body was faintly enveloped by the silver Battle Garment, and he suddenly grew taller by a bit, with his facial features undergoing noticeable changes.

Most importantly, Li Yuan's life essence and soul aura both underwent a subtle transformation.

If the aura Li Yuan exuded before was balanced and harmonious,

then now, his whole body emitted a cold air, as if pushing people thousands of miles away.

Coldness!

A complete change of persona.

"Haha, the Phantom Spirit Garment is indeed powerful," Fang Hai revealed a smile, "If I hadn't watched you change with my own eyes, I could hardly imagine that you are actually Li Yuan."

Li Yuan was also quite amazed in his heart, "Principal, this 'Phantom Spirit Garment' is so miraculous, perfectly merging into my flesh, making the aura of my life and soul completely turn into another person."

"Moreover, it doesn't affect my use of a real protective Battle Garment." Li Yuan thought again, activating the Star Garment.

A layer of black Battle Garment emerged, completely enveloping Li Yuan and emitting an even more majestic aura.

Normally, only one protective Battle Garment could be used, but Li Yuan was now using the Star Garment and the Phantom Spirit Garment together without any issue.

"The Phantom Spirit Garment looks like a Battle Garment, but at its core, it's actually an auxiliary treasure," Fang Hai said with a smile, "This was specially obtained for you by the Alliance Hierarch not long ago. It can conceal your soul aura while emitting a different soul aura."

"After all, there are quite a few Flying Heaven Level who have seen you, and if it were merely a disguise in appearance, it wouldn't mean much and could easily be distinguished," Fang Hai said, "Moreover, people like Yan Jing and Lin Yue who know the true identity of the Spirit Gun, have been repeatedly warned... They won't leak your secret."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Actually, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists could quite easily change their appearance... but for top-level powerhouses to conceal themselves was almost impossible.

Why?

Because of the soul aura!

Flying Heaven powerhouses, sensed with Divine Sense, would naturally remember each other's soul aura.

No matter how much the appearance changes, it is very difficult to conceal the soul.

"Li Yuan, with the Phantom Spirit Garment, you now have another identity—"Spirit Gun,"" said Fang Hai.

"So, there's no need to worry about being exposed."

"But remember, the Phantom Spirit Garment only conceals you up to the Semi Divine Level," Fang Hai said, "If the enemy's spiritual power reaches the Semi Divine Level... they may be able to discern your disguise."

"Understood," Li Yuan nodded.

No treasure is invincible, and such auxiliary treasures naturally have a limit to their power.

However, within the Mingxu Star Realm, there likely were no Semi Divine Level powerhouses, and even within the Seven Star Civilization, the chances of a Flying Heaven Level breaking through to the Semi Divine Level were low.

As for a Flying Heaven Level having a Semi Divine Level soul? Almost impossible!

"Go ahead," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said with a light sigh, "You have an extremely strong ability to survive, but in this battle... I don't expect you to win, just to cover the retreat of the various teams to the third and fourth bases, and ultimately hold these two strategic points. That would be a victory."

"As for competing for the final treasure... we must see what opportunities arise."

"Remember, survival is the number one priority. If things are truly beyond salvage, then just retreat straight through the passage back to Xia Country."

"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded, feeling Fang Hai's expectation and a touch of worry for him.

This was a side of Fang Hai that he rarely showed in the past.

"Compared to the Alliance Hierarch, the principal seems to have more of a human touch," Li Yuan silently thought to himself.

Whoosh! Li Yuan turned around and swiftly transformed into a beam of light, disappearing in the misty fine rain.

Fang Hai, standing in the void, watched the direction in which Li Yuan had vanished, appearing somewhat lost in thought.
