Chapter 288: Driving Straight In

"Husband, Father asked you to go over because he wants to help you!"

"Stop thinking about eating!"

"Hurry up and go!"

Gu Le urged.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

It was obvious that his wife had gone to squeeze some benefits out of his father-in-law for him again.

Unable to refuse her, he had no choice but to put on his virtual helmet and enter the Gu Family Grounds with his consciousness.

Gu Family Grounds.

In the courtyard, Third Elder Gu Xuanting was sitting by a stone table, leisurely sipping tea.

His expression was calm, lacking any of the nervousness Gu Le had shown.

Seeing Yang Fan arrive, Third Elder Gu Xuanting set down his teacup.

"Greetings, Father." Yang Fan bowed with cupped hands.

"Sit." Third Elder Gu Xuanting nodded.

After Yang Fan sat down, he spoke slowly.

"How many chances of success do you have against the Alien Demi-god in the Level 3 zone?"

"About seventy percent." Yang Fan's expression remained unchanged.

"Seventy percent, you say?"

Third Elder Gu Xuanting nodded slightly.

"That is not low at all."

"It seems that even if you cannot win, defending your divine kingdom should not be a problem."

"I have caused you worry, Father."

Yang Fan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting shook his head.

"What do I have to worry about?"

"After all, I am a High-tier God, and having lived for so many years, I still have an eye for people."

"Over this past year, every time I see you, your aura has grown stronger."

"Although you are only a third-year student now, your true strength likely already surpasses many fourth-year peerless prodigies."

"So, I was not surprised to hear that you are challenging the Level 3 zone."

Having said this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting suddenly revealed a hint of helplessness.

"However, that girl Gu Le was quite frightened by you."

"She has been pestering me ever since she received the news."

"She almost tore down my courtyard gate."

Thinking of this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting couldn't help but rub his brow.

He and Lu Qinglan had married too late.

After long years, they only had one daughter, Gu Le.

She had been spoiled since childhood; previously, she was just whimsical and liked to play little tricks.

But now that she was married, things had changed.

She kept running back every few days to fleece her old father.

Yet, he really couldn't bear to refuse her.

Thinking of this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting couldn't help but laugh himself, then raised his hand to take out a card.

"Take this."

Yang Fan looked down and saw that the card contained two Great Void Warships.

"This is?"

"My personal sponsorship."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting waved his hand.

"It is not an investment from the Gu Family."

"Your divine kingdom has a large number of Intelligent Life, and the Great Void Warships are just right for them."

"It should increase your chances of winning a bit."

Yang Fan's face immediately broke into a smile, "Thank you, Father."

"That is enough."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting waved his hand.

"Go back."

"If you really cannot win, just drag it out until you graduate in your fourth year."

"In the future, do not let Gu Le worry so much."

"Yes."

Yang Fan bowed respectfully, then exited the Virtual World.

Watching his departing back, Third Elder Gu Xuanting suddenly stroked his chin, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

"That is not right…"

"Two Great Void Warships, why does this kid not seem excited at all?"

"Could I have misjudged him?"

Third Elder Gu Xuanting frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, even a peerless prodigy would covet such war constructs.

Yet, looking at Yang Fan's reaction just now, it seemed as if he had just received an ordinary gift.

Thinking of this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting shook his head.

He just assumed he was overthinking it.

…

That night.

Yang Fan entered his divine kingdom again.

At this moment, the number of troops that had entered the Vajra King Monkey divine kingdom had exceeded twenty billion.

On the other side.

In the core area of the Vajra King Monkey divine kingdom, Qi Tian's expression had long lost its initial composure, and was even faintly pale.

"How is it possible…"

"How could this be…"

Qi Tian stared fixedly at the images transmitted from the front line.

His body was trembling slightly.

"Twenty-one years old…"

"How could such a foundation appear in a twenty-one-year-old Demi-god?"

"Fake!"

"It must be fake!"

"This guy is not a student at all!"

"He must be some old guy from the Human Race who has lived for thousands of years in disguise!"

Countless thoughts flashed through Qi Tian's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Gods cannot directly attack Demi-gods.

But he had killed too many Human Race Prodigies over these years.

If some high-level Human Race figures had secretly arranged for a monster to come and take his divine kingdom core, it would seem plausible.

Thinking of this, Qi Tian's eyes gradually became serious.

Then he stood up abruptly, and a vast Divine Oracle instantly spread throughout the entire divine kingdom.

"My kin, heed my command! A powerful Human Race enemy is attacking!"

"This battle concerns the survival of our race!"

"All adult clansmen, assemble immediately!"

"Stop Cultivating! Stop production! Pick up your weapons! Build a defensive line!"

"Advance to the outer perimeter of the divine kingdom!"

"Anyone who retreats, execute!"

"Anyone who fears battle, execute!"

"Anyone who performs meritorious service, heavy rewards!"

Boom—

The Divine Oracle descended, and the entire Monkey race divine kingdom was in a complete uproar.

Countless Demon Monkey Army members rushed out of their treehouses and frantically gathered towards the battlefield.

But Qi Tian's expression grew even uglier.

Because in just half a year, Yang Fan's army had already advanced through a quarter of his divine kingdom's territory, almost unimpeded.

Only now did Qi Tian faintly feel a trace of regret.

It had been too long.

It had really been too long since he had experienced a Divine Kingdom War.

For hundreds of thousands of years, his divine kingdom had always been in an absolutely safe state.

His powerful strength had caused him to gradually lose his sense of crisis.

He had not deployed heavy troops in the outer areas at all.

Now that the enemy army had driven straight in, he had lost many opportunities to intercept them.

…

Soon, the armies of both sides officially clashed.

Rumble—

The forest shook violently.

Vajra King Monkeys leaped from the treetops.

They were dozens of meters tall, with muscles knotted all over their bodies.

Their skin shimmered with a faint golden light, as if cast from steel.

Bang!

A psionic shell hit squarely, and the explosion sent flames into the sky.

However, after the smoke cleared, that Qi Refining Realm Vajra King Monkey only had a charred chest and did not die on the spot.

Such defensive power shocked even Yang Si.

At the same time, these Demon Monkey Army members utilized the forest environment to the extreme.

Each towering ancient tree became a natural cover.

They leaped continuously using the treetops, flickering in and out of sight.

Making it difficult for long-range firepower to lock onto them.

For a time, even with Martial Arts believers responsible for defense, Cultivation believers casting spells from a distance, and Intelligent Life firing wildly.

The speed of advancement still slowed down significantly.

However, soon, the Elf Warrior legion began to take action.

This forest was also suitable for Elf Warriors to fight in.

Between the treetops, green figures moved quickly, like ghosts.

Swish—

Arrows pierced the air.

A Foundation Establishment Realm Vajra King Monkey just poked its body out, and its forehead instantly exploded, its massive body crashing down.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As the rain of arrows continued to fall.

More and more Demon Monkey Army members fell into pools of blood.

Those Elf Warriors were like hunters hidden in the darkness.

Every time they drew their bows, it meant a life vanished.

Gradually, the Demon Monkey Army didn't even dare to show their heads easily.

Qi Tian had also dispatched elite shock troops in an attempt to decapitate the leadership.

But as soon as they approached, they were blocked by a large number of Martial Master legions, and no matter how they charged, they could not advance even a step further.
