No matter how shocked these commanders were, the scene that followed was enough to overshadow their initial shock.
Everyone retreated. Meng Huai’s channeled spiritual energy activated all the talismans on the entire defensive wall at once.
Meng Huai had not calculated how long the defensive wall was. However, in patching its vulnerabilities, she had nearly depleted the talismans in her spatial ring.
That was over a thousand talismans, all ignited in an instant. Simultaneously, the pre-arranged attack formations and defensive formations were also triggered.
That's right, amidst the seemingly random arrangement, many formations were interspersed.
Once all those talismans were activated, the instantaneous attack was a dazzling spectacle. The attack controlled by Comrade Er Hu in the command center earlier paled in comparison to this.
It wasn't that the defensive wall's original attack was weak, but rather that the scene of all attacks being unleashed simultaneously was more breathtaking.
It was akin to detonating ten cannonballs one by one versus launching ten simultaneously; the effect presented would undoubtedly be different.
However, the consequence of this dazzling scene was that all the star beasts surrounding the defensive wall were annihilated in an instant. Only those star beasts standing at the very back, not yet having entered the battlefield, survived.
They became the survivors, and these survivors still intended to charge forward.
Seeing that the star beasts at the rear still had the strength, everyone instantly charged back into the battlefield, not letting a single star beast escape.
These star beasts were being cornered by these people. Meng Huai had gone this far, how could she let these guards and teachers save face?
They actually needed a student to protect them. Thinking of this, those who were already exhausted were now filled with strength.
What if the mechs had no energy? As long as they had cold weapons in hand, they could fight continuously. If the mechs could not even maintain their most basic form, they should directly retract them. Just like Meng Huai earlier, drawing her saber and charging forward.
"Charge!"
"Kill them all!"
"Being protected by a student, I've never felt this stifled!"
"Go! Don't think about letting a single star beast escape from under our noses!"
Meng Huai had no intention of protecting these people. It was just that the defensive wall had been breached, and she feared the star beasts entering the city and harming the ordinary people in the safe zone. Moreover, she had only used some talismans, and she wasn't holding any resolve to die. She had finally obtained a rebirth and didn't want to die!
Star beasts had no consciousness; they also wanted to kill the humans obstructing their advance. However, suddenly, these star beasts paused simultaneously, then all turned directions and fled towards the opposite side of the defensive wall.
How could these people, who had just ignited their fighting spirit, see the star beasts run away?
This battle ended in such a bizarre manner...
Seeing this scene, several students recalled what Teacher Wang had said: they seemed to possess combat instincts.
However, at this moment, many people watching this scene felt: it wasn't the star beasts having combat instincts, but rather it seemed like a higher, unknown entity was controlling these star beasts!
But was that possible?
Before they could ponder further, they saw Meng Huai spit out a mouthful of blood. It splashed onto the ground, turning red, like a brilliant flower blooming there.
Seeing Meng Huai spit blood, everyone rushed forward: "Meng Huai!"
"Junior sister!"
Meng Huai wiped the blood from her lips and, supported by Zheng Yi Ran, sat up. She waved her hands at them and said, "I'm fine."
But seeing the back of her hand, smeared with the blood from her mouth, how could she be fine!
At this moment, no one asked what Meng Huai had been doing, or how she managed such a powerful attack. Although they had never heard of or seen such an attack before.
Because their focus at this moment was not on these attacks, but on Meng Huai's body.
But at the same time, Meng Huai's points surged into the top one hundred on the contribution leaderboard.
Xie Xue instructed: "You few, take student Meng back to the command center to rest for a while!"
Zheng Yi Ran nodded: "That's fine."
After all, the star beasts had fled, and the rest would be handled by the teachers and guards.
"You don't need to support me, I'm fine!"
Meng Huai wanted to break free from Zheng Yi Ran's support. She wasn't that severely injured; there was no need for this.
In fact, at the very end, she found her spiritual energy insufficient and had mobilized her origin, which caused her to spit blood. But in reality, after recovering, her realm might even advance further.
At her level of cultivation, it was already difficult to make progress. But she never expected such a simple way to advance, it was truly an unexpected surprise.
After all, in moments of danger, people's potential could be unleashed. However, she couldn't cultivate like this long-term, as one wrong step could lead to disaster...
However, at this moment, Meng Huai's body was completely drained of spiritual energy. As they piloted the aircraft back, Meng Huai remained seated, adjusting her body to replenish her spiritual energy.
However, in the eyes of others, Meng Huai was merely resting with her eyes closed. No one dared to disturb her; after all, in their eyes, Meng Huai was like a porcelain doll at this moment.
The flight felt slow on the way there, but it seemed to go by very quickly on the return journey.
Meng Huai felt the aircraft land and then opened her eyes.
Er Hu had been waiting there for a long time. He had witnessed Meng Huai's astonishing scene earlier. Seeing Meng Huai now, he led her and said, "I'll take you to the lounge first, so you can rest and recuperate."
"Alright," Zheng Yi Ran nodded.
Er Hu led them to the lounge and arranged a room for each of them. After arriving at her room, Meng Huai refused their offer to stay.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Everyone had no choice but to let her rest. Upon reaching the lounge, Meng Huai immediately sat on the bed, crossed her legs, and began to meditate to regulate her breathing.
Having depleted so much spiritual energy, the meditation took the entire night. Everyone thought Meng Huai was just resting and dared not disturb her.
After a night passed, Meng Huai opened her eyes, her complexion having returned to normal. After washing up, she stepped out of the room and took a deep breath.
Hearing the movement from Meng Huai's door, the doors of the surrounding rooms creaked open, revealing three heads peeking towards Meng Huai's room.
"Meng Huai, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Zheng Yi Ran looked at Meng Huai, her concern evident as she rapidly asked multiple questions.
Jing Yuan Cheng and the other two also stared intently at Meng Huai. Jing Yuan Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, your complexion looks much better."
