The speaker, with a towering frame and knotted muscles, had a headband woven with golden strands.
He was none other than Wu Meng, who had left Yangshan long ago to seek a breakthrough path in Guangfu!
From his imposing aura and the group of followers behind him, it was clear that he had reached a certain level within the Earth Mother Sect.
Wu Mengâs gaze was fixed on Liang Yuan, who was on the speedboat, with a somewhat complicated expression.
Hearing Fang Haoâs words, he said in a deep voice, "Yes, I know this person."
"This person is named Liang Yuan, from Yangshan."
Fang Hao was taken aback: "Yangshan? So heâs a fellow from your hometown?"
"Does Yangshan actually have someone this powerful?"
Wu Meng also sighed: "If it were someone else, I would indeed be surprised."
"But if itâs him, although Iâm surprised, it doesnât seem that shocking somehow."
"What, Wu Meng, are you very familiar with him?"
"Sir, do you remember the plan half a month ago when the Forest Bishopâs personnel, together with the Water God Sect and Spiritual Ability Sect, attacked Yangshan?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Haoâs mind suddenly flashed with some information.
His pupils suddenly constricted: "Liang Yuan! He is Liang Yuan!"
He was shocked and incredulous; looking at Liang Yuan again, his expression was moody and full of apprehension.
Wu Meng said in a deep voice, "It is indeed him."
"I didnât expect him to be here too!" Fang Haoâs face turned slightly somber.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Wu Meng, do you know what this personâs superpower exactly is?"
"Why do the data we collected say heâs a Space Ability User, others say heâs proficient in Flame Superpower, and more say heâs an Ice Attribute Superpower User?"
Wu Meng shook his head slightly upon hearing this: "To this day, I still canât figure out his true abilities."
"I have indeed seen him admit to the Space Superpower, but Iâve never seen him use it, so I canât be sure."
"Things like the Flame Superpower should be false; Iâve never seen him use it."
"His main attribute should be the Spirit Attribute or the Strength Attribute."
"This person is very mysterious, and I canât see through him."
Wu Mengâs words made Fang Haoâs brow furrow: "What do you mean, how can his main attribute be so complicated? Not even you can see through him?"
"Have you ever faced him in combat?"
"Yes."
"How was it?"
"I wasnât his opponent. At that time, he hadnât condensed a Genetic Species, and his main attribute hadnât reached this level yet."
"As for what his main attribute is, I can only say, he seems very comprehensive."
"Whether itâs agility, strength, or even constitution, you could say itâs very balanced."
"Hmm? Isnât being balanced normal? Generally, people have a high main attribute, and even if the other three attributes are low, they should be quite balanced," Fang Hao asked in confusion.
Wu Meng shook his head: "What I mean is that his attributes are almost as strong as his main attribute, equally balanced!"
Fang Haoâs pupils slightly constricted: "How is that possible?"
Wu Meng sighed: "I didnât believe it at the time either, but after facing him, I thought his strength was his main attribute."
"But I was completely wrong; his spiritual power is even more terrifying than his strength. Just a glance and my brain was out of control, almost instantly severely injured."
"If it werenât for my special superpower, I might have lost on the spot."
In fact, when Wu Meng faced Liang Yuan in the Gouwu Pavilion, he almost died.
His mental consciousness was instantly knocked unconscious by Liang Yuanâs Spirit Shock.
He relied on strong instincts to let his subconscious take over his body, reacting instinctively to counterattack.
However, at that time, not only had Liang Yuanâs Spirit Attribute increased significantly, but all aspects of his abilities had also been enhanced.
He almost crushed Wu Meng, leaving him no room to turn the tables.
It was only after experiencing that battle that Wu Mengâs confidence was shattered.
Thatâs why he abandoned the family business at the Martial King Pavilion, left the beautiful Zhuang Shuyuan, and aimed to seek ways to become stronger in Guangfu.
But as time passed, when he saw Liang Yuan again, he found that the gap between the two not only hadnât narrowed but instead had widened into a great abyss.
He will always remember the news of the Forest Bishop Lin Guangqunâs death in Yangshan, which sent shockwaves back to the Yellow Earth Divine Origin.
His first reaction was: Liang Yuan!
Throughout Yangshan, if there was anyone who could kill the Forest Bishop, the first person who came to his mind was Liang Yuan.
Originally, he thought Liang Yuan relied on the large number of Yangshan people to besiege the Forest Bishop, or used some sneak attack methods, or perhaps some Talisman Stone techniques to exhaust and kill Lin Guangqun.
But after he inquired about the details of the news, he was shocked to discover.
It was completely unlike what he imagined!
Liang Yuan not only didnât rely on sneak attacks or manpower to kill Lin Guangqun.
Instead, he single-handedly slaughtered all the Three Great Sectsâ experts who besieged Yangshan!
The battle reportedly cost no less than a hundred Genetic Species experts from the Three Great Sects!
When he heard this news at the time, he was thoroughly dumbfounded.
He couldnât imagine that the place he once abandoned had developed to such an extent?
He couldnât figure out what was going on.
Why could the man who once faced him, seemingly not much stronger than him, become this powerful?
Subsequently, the Three Great Sects, and indeed all of Guangfu, were astir because of this event.
They continuously sent out spies to investigate everything about Yangshan.
But before any news came back, reports of a Floating Island appearing downstream of Linjiang overshadowed everything.
Various forces rushed over, and now not only the forces from Guangfu had arrived.
Survivor forces from Baoshan City across Linjiang had also come, as had people from Jiâan City upstream.
Wu Meng originally thought this would be his stage to shine.
Never did he expect that the Floating Island appearing downstream of Linjiang would turn out to be a Dark Attribute Floating Island.
Entrants had been sent in waves to explore it, and not a single one returned!
His ambitious thoughts were immediately extinguished by more than half.
Seeing Liang Yuanâs display of divine might, his appearance surprisingly showcased such terrifying strength.
The remaining flames in his heart were further extinguished.
At this moment, he was already pondering how to face Liang Yuan.
Fang Hao didnât know what Wu Meng was thinking, but after hearing what Wu Meng said and looking at Liang Yuan again, there was a hint of keen interest in his eyes.
"If we could recruit such a person to our Earth Mother Sect, the power of the Earth Mother Sect would definitely rise significantly."
Wu Meng imperceptibly frowned slightly, he did not speak.
Someone nearby couldnât help but say: "My lord, this man killed the Forest Bishop, and he is already at daggers drawn with our Earth Mother Sect, how can we recruit him?"
Fang Hao glanced at the person who spoke and said lightly: "Oh, then you go kill him, avenge the Forest Bishop."
The person instantly held their breath, unable to respond.
They also saw Liang Yuanâs main attribute, how could they dare to boast.
It was just to show some loyalty.
Fang Hao said faintly: "If you canât defeat him then shut up, donât bring trouble on yourself."
"Since this Liang is so formidable, itâs best to stop the losses in time."
"Wu Meng, you know this person, invite him up here."
Wu Meng was taken aback, although he was unwilling, he dared not say much, immediately nodding: "Yes, my lord."
He turned to look in Liang Yuanâs direction, took a deep breath, and leaped directly off the Earth Mother Sectâs ship.
He could be seen stepping on the waves, quickly sprinting towards Liang Yuan.
The water splashed under his feet, and whenever he was about to sink into the water, a blue light immediately lit up from his shoe soles, lifting him up.
It was obvious that the shoes under his feet were not ordinary.
Liang Yuan immediately noticed his figure and was about to teach him a lesson.
Wu Meng shouted first: "Liang Yuan, long time no see!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Liang Yuan instantly raised an eyebrow.
Soon after, he saw Wu Meng standing steadily on the water surface, with blue light flickering under his feet.
"Wu Meng?"
Liang Yuan recognized him, and couldnât help but be somewhat astonished.
No matter what, he never expected to encounter Wu Meng here!
This person, whom he once regarded as a combat genius, was wearing a set of earth-yellow armor at this moment.
Looking at his attire, it was clearly that of the Earth Mother Sectâs personnel!
"How are you here?"
He couldnât help but ask in surprise.
Wu Meng chuckled and said: "Arenât you here as well?"
"No, I mean, why are you dressed in the Earth Mother Sectâs attire? I remember you said you would go to Guangfu and seek refuge with the military?"
Liang Yuan asked with curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengâs expression became somewhat grim, he looked at the military ships and shook his head slightly, saying: "I was too naive back then."
"The military is not what I imagined."
Liang Yuan became interested and immediately asked: "What happened?"
Wu Meng laughed: "Old friends meeting, youâre not inviting me up to chat?"
Liang Yuan laughed heartily: "Please."
Wu Meng immediately smiled, his figure flickered, and he leaped onto the speedboat.
The two stood on the speedboat, Wu Meng glanced around at the wooden speedboat and asked: "Was this developed by Yangshan?"
Liang Yuan nodded: "How is it, doesnât it feel pretty good?"
"Indeed, itâs not bad, compared to the militaryâs speedboats itâs a bit lacking, but compared to the technology of the Three Great Sects, itâs almost there."
Wu Meng looked quite moved, he did not expect that under Liang Yuanâs leadership, Yangshan had developed to the extent of being able to independently develop vehicles.
It seemed Yangshan had really changed a lot.
"I knew with you leading Yangshan, it would definitely be much better than with those of us."
Wu Meng smiled and said.
Liang Yuan smiled faintly, ignoring the remark.
What do you mean by with me leading?
It sounded as if the position of Yangshan Leader was relinquished by you.
He remembered clearly, back then the four major forces in Yangshan allied to try and eliminate them, the Fire Bamboo Forest personnel.
If it werenât for having the system as a backup, they probably would have had no way to reverse the situation.
Thinking of these, he felt much more composed.
"You went to Guangfu, how did you end up in the Earth Mother Sect?"
"Hehe, itâs a long story, ever since leaving Yangshan, I embraced a desire to embark on the road of evolution, arrived alone in Guangfu."
"After many experiences, I joined the military, but sadly, I overestimated the military, thinking they were still the peopleâs team from before the great flood."
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Wu Meng sneered: "Liang Yuan, the world has changed; there wonât be any more nations."
"Our country, its political system has certainly collapsed."
"Do you know, the military is no longer a pure army, they have internal differences, now split into two major factions, Hawk Faction and Dove Faction."
"The Hawk Faction practices iron-blooded rules, willing to pay any price for evolutionary development."
"While the Dove Faction practices salvation rules, still thinking about rescuing more survivors."
"I wasnât lucky, I was brought to the Hawk Faction upon entering the military district, they tested my superpower and found that it was very suitable for researching recovery potions."
At this point, a trace of hatred appeared in Wu Mengâs eyes.
"They imprisoned me, drew my blood, cut my flesh, and kept using me for research!"
"These people are no longer soldiers, they have become a group of madmen who stop at nothing for evolution!"
