Chapter 178 The Light of Humanity
"There has been a breakthrough at the academy, and I already know what to do!" Ye Sheng squatted down for a while, then quickly opened his eyes and spoke to Gu Ye.

Every word he said now was very reluctant. The complexity of this map was far beyond Ye Sheng's imagination. Compared with it, any human building was like a child's trick. The brainpower consumption brought by such a complicated map was very terrifying, so he could only remind Gu Ye to set off quickly.

"I understand. You lead the way and we'll set off now." Gu Ye could naturally see Ye Sheng's reluctance. He came to his side, gently lifted the bronze jar on his shoulder, and quickly followed him to leave.

Ye Sheng was walking quickly while sorting out a way out in his mind. The escape route was changing every moment. Ye Sheng felt like he was going crazy. He got the map, but... this situation was like a fork in the road that reminded you to turn, and the next second it became a straight road. The countless information bombardment made Ye Sheng barely find a suitable path in a limited time.

"Are you okay?" Gu Ye quickly caught up with Ye Sheng, looking at him with some concern as he was bleeding from the nose.

"Hurry...up...time..." Ye Sheng spoke intermittently and quickly turned the mechanism on the edge of the wall. Countless gears on the living bronze city wall began to turn again. The wall flipped and opened and closed, opening a wide passage.

"Be careful!" Gu Ye's keen perception made him aware of the danger behind him, and he quickly pushed Ye Sheng aside. The ultimate skin of the Divine Dragon Venerable was activated, and he just glared, and the flames behind him stopped in the air.

"It's still alive. It has such a long life..." Gu Ye couldn't help but speak as he looked at the giant bronze dragon crawling towards him quickly.

Although the heart had been pierced, the dragon was still alive. Why did it pretend to be dead for so long and only chose to stop himself and Ye Sheng at this time?

The bronze dragon in front of him looked extremely miserable. The bronze mask on his head had melted and solidified into a whole. Only one eye could observe the environment through the only hole in the mask.

The hole in the chest was gradually healing, but compared to its previous rapid recovery, it was now very slow. The tattered wings drooped limply behind him, no longer able to fly.

But even though it was crawling on the ground like a lizard, it did not give up trying to stop Gu Ye and Ye Sheng from leaving. Its single eye, which was exposed all the time, was staring at the bronze jar on Gu Ye's shoulder.

"Are you targeting Norton's eggs? What a good dog..." Gu Ye followed the bronze dragon's gaze and instantly understood what he meant.

Gu Ye's attack that pierced the heart just now did cause fatal damage to this first-generation species, but this clever guy finally chose to concentrate his super-regenerating Word Spirit on the heart area, so he was not killed directly.

It should have wanted to pretend to be dead to paralyze Gu Ye and escape, but it did not expect that its king, Norton's egg had been found by these two humans, and the meaning of its survival was to allow the king to revive successfully, so it did not care whether it recovered or not at this time.

No matter what, the king will never let humans take away his eggs, even if it means sacrificing his life.

"Since you are not dead, get out of here! Otherwise, you won't be so lucky this time..." The golden light in Gu Ye's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a strong pressure spread from his body.

The bronze dragon's crawling movements paused. This terrifying pressure was like Norton's resurrection, making it feel like its blood was about to solidify.

No... perhaps even Norton could not bring such terrifying pressure. The sense of crisis like a needle pricked the bronze dragon's skin, as if the sword of Damocles was hanging over its head and would fall at any time.

The human in front of it made it feel that his life and death could be decided by just a wave of his hand. Every cell in its body was telling it to escape, but its loyalty to Norton outweighed its desire to survive.

Even though it would disappear in an instant, it did not stop and continued to crawl towards Gu Ye with difficulty.

"Very good. I haven't seen a guy like you for a long time. No matter whether you are a dragon or a human, you have earned my respect." Gu Ye's eyes showed a hint of approval. He clenched his fists and was about to walk towards the bronze dragon, but was stopped by Ye Sheng.

"Let's go first!" Ye Sheng shook his head and pointed to the passage with difficulty. Gu Ye could only look at the bronze dragon that was still chasing him and Ye Sheng, and sighed helplessly.

"Let's go first..." Pulling Ye Sheng up, Gu Ye quickly jumped up and down and disappeared into the passage.

There was a faint whirlpool forming in the water, indicating that there was a gap right below. Mans looked at the violently fluctuating water surface, and the tense expression on his face finally relaxed.

He couldn't help but put down the gun in his hand and hugged the first mate beside him. This was a rare loss of composure for Mans Rundstedt. He knew that Gu Ye had succeeded and had successfully escaped from the hands of the dragon clan, and his beloved student would come back with Gu Ye.

"This is what I called a big reversal!" Mance couldn't help but look at Selma and speak. Even Aki Sakude, who had been staring at the water, couldn't help but sit on the ground with a smile on his face.

"It's like a last-second three-pointer in the fourth quarter of basketball, or a perfect break in the third set of tennis!" He glanced at his watch.

"S-class is worthy of being S-class. It easily accomplished what we couldn't do." Mance praised while instructing the first mate.

"Hurry! Be ready to welcome our students! And remember to be alert to the dragons that may appear at any time! Now is our performance time!"

Mans had no way to provide support in the underwater battle, but it was different on the surface. Although there were no heavy weapons on the ship, the dozen or so miniature underwater bombs were no pushovers.

There was a muffled sound from the stern of the ship, and Mans subconsciously took out his flashlight and shone it over there. A figure floated up next to the lifeboat on the side of the ship. He was holding a bronze jar in his hands, and he and another young man.

It’s Gu Ye and Ye Sheng, they are back safely!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Pull them up!" Mans ordered, and the second mate and the sailors quickly threw down the ropes from the deck. Gu Ye, who was floating on the water, grabbed the ropes and returned to the boat with their pull.

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission..." Gu Ye put the unconscious Ye Sheng on the deck. There was not enough oxygen when they surfaced, so Ye Sheng gave his oxygen tank to Gu Ye, who was in a coma due to lack of oxygen at this time.

"Is Ye Sheng okay?" Mans asked, and waved his hand, asking the ship's doctor who had been on standby to carry him in.

"It's a bit of lack of oxygen, but it's no big deal. This should be Norton's egg, keep it..." Gu Ye handed the bronze jar to Mance.

"Is this... the Dragon King's egg?" Mans looked at the bronze jar eagerly and reached out to stroke it gently. The progress of human beings' research on dragons may begin a new chapter today.

"Hide quickly, we have to leave quickly." Gu Ye reminded Mance. He was not sure how long the bronze dragon would chase him, so he could only urge Mance to leave before it surfaced.

"Oh...Oh! Okay! First mate! Start the boat!" Mance reacted quickly.

"Drop anchor! Start the engine! Turn on the afterburner!" The first mate yelled at the third mate. The two anchor chains were cut at the same time. The powerful engine started instantly without preheating. The huge acceleration almost made Mans fall. After being supported by Gu Ye, he carefully carried the bronze pot into the cabin. At this time, Gu Ye saw a sharp water line behind the ship chasing them straight. That guy really hasn't given up yet!
The xenon lamps on the boat illuminated the foaming water surface behind the boat clearly. The white foam could not hide the sharp waterline. It seemed as if an invisible knife was cutting the water surface underwater. The first mate who was driving the boat finally discovered something was wrong.

"what is that?!"

After taking a look at the scene monitored by the first mate, Mans quickly left the cabin and came to the deck, standing next to Gu Ye.

"Is it a dragon? Is it chasing us?"

"Don't worry about it, just drive the boat..." Gu Ye didn't look back, still staring at the water. There were too many people here, and he couldn't use the power of the Soul Lotus. But it was different for the Divine Dragon Venerable, as it was registered in the school.

But the destructive power of the Divine Dragon Lord is too strong, and Gu Ye cannot use fire on the deck, otherwise the entire deck will be burned through in an instant. However... now that he has the ultimate skin, perhaps fire is enough.

A buzzing sound was heard in the strong wind, and in the distance huge spots of light were moving on the dark water. A moment later, a call came from the front left side of the bow.

"Moniyach, please pay attention, this is the Yangtze River Navigation Maritime Safety Administration, please turn on the light to reply, please turn on the light to reply!"

"Reply to them, we must hurry and leave here..." Gu Ye said to Professor Mans. Changjiang has already noticed something unusual, and now they must take the dragon away quickly before they arrive.

"I understand..." Mans nodded, raised his hand and patted Gu Ye's shoulder.

"Everything is left to you. We will be responsible for covering it."

"Don't worry..." said Gu Ye.

But it was too late. The Maritime Administration helicopter was already hovering in the air. Apparently they also noticed that the Moniach was being chased by something, so they shone the searchlight on the vortex caused by that thing.

A large number of bubbles surged in the center of the whirlpool, and an incredibly huge black shadow suddenly flashed, making Selma on the deck suspect that she was hallucinating for a moment. The black shadow broke through the water surface with unparalleled power and rose straight into the sky.

At this moment, lightning tore through the sky, and a black shadow in the lightning was as agile as a mad dragon. Selma's legs went soft and she sat down on the deck. She knew from countless theoretical classes that this race existed in the world, but she had never seen them appear with her own eyes.

That was a miracle, a dragon breaking through the water and ascending to heaven. All these storms and winds were to welcome this great moment.

The giant dragon leaped high into the air and used its tail to knock down the hovering helicopter. Gu Ye suppressed his inner impulse. It was not the right time yet...

"Captain! There is no route ahead!" The first mate suddenly spoke in despair. Everyone had already noticed the huge dragon shadow behind them, but the ship had already approached the dam and there was no room for turning back.

"Start the engine and go straight ahead!" said Mance, and everyone looked at him silently.

"I'm the captain, I have the final say here, start the engine, full power, go ahead!"

The stern of the ship suddenly rolled up waves, and the Moniah raised its head and moved forward, heading straight towards the dam's flood spillway. Gu Ye instantly understood what he meant. He wanted to get out through the flood spillway.

"Don't worry... slow down first, we will all be alive." Gu Yedi's voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear in the storm. Everyone turned their heads and looked at this S-level man.

They didn't understand why this S-class warrior could still have such confidence in such a desperate situation. The helicopter that was just hovering in the air was easily shot down. Was there any hope of survival now?

"Roar!!!" The waves splashed, and the bronze dragon finally jumped out of the water again. This time its target was the Moniach. It approached the ship and just wanted to destroy it.

"The opportunity has come..." Gu Ye moved his wrist, squatted down, and exerted force with his feet. He shot out like a rocket and punched the bronze dragon in the sky.

Without reservation, his fist, which was condensed with the power of the dragon, smashed into the forehead of the bronze dragon. The contrast between the man and the dragon was very obvious. Gu Ye was like an insignificant flying bird.

But it was this flying bird that broke through the bronze dragon's defense and concentrated all its strength on recovering the dragon's heart. There was no longer any power that could resist Gu Ye's fist, and a miracle would not happen to it a second time.

The force was as surging as an ocean wave, instantly destroying its brain. This time, Gu Ye smashed its entire brain into pieces, leaving no possibility of resurrection.

The golden light in its huge single eye dimmed again, and its huge body fell straight into the Yangtze River.

"I said... we will all survive." Gu Ye fell from a great height, and the huge waves brought up by the giant dragon washed over him. He just stood with his back to the crowd, towering in the huge waves, and spoke again in a flat tone.

"Because I am here, death has been kept out."

No one would doubt the truthfulness of Gu Ye's words, because the godslayer was now standing in front of them. Even though he had his back to them, his invincible aura did not diminish at all.

"This is... S-level..." Mance said with difficulty. It was not until now that he understood why Principal Angers had made such arrangements.

Perhaps there are some people who have declared the victory of the war from the moment he arrived, and Gu Ye is undoubtedly that person.

In 2009, Mans Rundstedt successfully completed the Three Gorges mission. No one in the entire team died, and he also saw the true hope of mankind during this mission.

Perhaps... only such a person could be called a leader? Mance was absolutely certain that only he could lead mankind to victory.

Gu Ye, a student at Kassel Academy, is an S-class super hybrid as judged by Principal Angers, and is also... the light of humanity.
