Special effects: Simultaneous time travel, starting with the armor of light and shadow.

"It's a mutant beast!"

"You've come at the perfect time! Today, I'm going to fight you to the death!"

The reactions of Kunzhong and Atu, descendants of Tucun, were vastly different.

One reacted much like a normal person, while the other was more courageous, rolling up his sleeves and preparing for a close-quarters fight with the rock beast.

It makes one wonder if he has fire-elemental blood in his body, and if what flows in his veins is not blood at all, but scorching magma.

However, with Nan Yan present, they naturally wouldn't be allowed to go forward and fight.

He shielded the two of them behind him.

"My father once said that you have to use magic to defeat magic, and leave professional matters to the professionals!"

"Watch closely, what's coming next is very cool!"

"Hey, buddy, are you sure you can handle this?"

Atu looked at Nan Yan with a suspicious expression.

Even if you're handsome, you can't use that to fight alien beasts!

Because he had fallen unconscious earlier, Atu did not see Nan Yan and Dong Shan transform, and naturally did not know that Nan Yan was the summoner of the Flame Dragon Armor.

"Flame Dragon Armor, Combine!"

Nan Yan didn't explain much, but simply took out the Flame Dragon Summoning Device from his pocket.

A dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Nan Yan's body.

[Armor Combination!]

Amidst mechanical sound effects, pieces of bright red armor materialized out of thin air and attached themselves to Nan Yan's body.

Ta-da!

Transformation complete, Nan Yan flicked his fingers and casually pointed at the rock beast with one hand: "Your unlucky time has come!"

"Flame Dragon Warrior!!"

Kunzhong grabbed Atu's arm, his eyes brimming with excitement: "It's the real Flame Dragon Warrior!!!"

He never imagined that the hero who protected the city was right beside him.

He even shook hands with Flame Dragon Knight before!

Atu was more normal; seeing Nan Yan transform into the Flame Dragon Warrior, he knew he wasn't needed in the battle here.

All they could do was avoid disrupting Nan Yan's battle and immediately pull Kun Zhong away to a safe area.

Clang! Clang!

Over here, Nan Yan has already summoned the Flaming Blade and is fighting the Rock Beast.

The enhanced Rock Beast possesses extremely formidable defense; even the Flaming Blade, which delivers critical hits with every strike, only leaves white marks on its body.

"We still have to use the ultimate weapon!"

Nan Yan retreated to create distance, then reached out and turned the ultimate weapon knob on his waist.

Wow!

A red "Slay" character, a sure-kill scroll, appeared before Nan Yan.

Nan Yan raised the Blazing Blade and lightly touched the Deadly Killing Talisman. The energy of the Demon-Sealing Talisman instantly merged into the Blazing Blade, enchanting the blade with a layer of red light.

"drink!"

With a low shout from Nan Yan, a crimson blade of light shot straight toward the rock beast.

Seeing that something was wrong, the rock beast lowered its head and shot a ray of light onto a pebble on the ground. The pebble instantly expanded and grew larger, turning into a huge rock that blocked the rock beast's path.

But faced with the blade's aura, the rock was easily split in two, and then the remaining force continued to strike the rock beast.

Before the rock beast could react, Nan Yan's second slash arrived.

boom!

The rock beast was caught off guard and struck by the blade. A green halo appeared around its body, indicating that it had been brought to the brink of death.

"continue!"

Knowing that these two strikes wouldn't kill the opponent, Nan Yan took advantage of the rock beast's momentary lapse in concentration to launch another fatal attack.

Two more crimson blades struck the rock beast.

Four consecutive cuts!

Moreover, it was a finishing move personally executed by Nan Yan, the Lord of Fire Armor, using the Flame Dragon Armor.

Even with its enhanced defenses, the rock beast was still no match for it, and a red Bagua pattern slowly appeared behind it.

His entire body stiffened.

Sheathing his Flaming Blade, Nan Yan leaped into the air and sealed the Rock Beast completely with a Flaming Fist.

"The Seven of Spades—a trilobite, an undead creature? Its defenses are definitely enhanced!"

After sealing the magic scroll, Nan Yan put away the other card, then deactivated his transformation and walked towards Kun Zhong and Atu.

"Nan...Yan..."

Looking at Nan Yan approaching, Kun Zhong was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.

"You guys saved me last time too, right? Thank you so much!"

In contrast, A-Tu, a man who had been navigating the complexities of society for many years, was also shocked, but managed to remain calm.

"I'll need you to keep this a secret for me," Nan Yan said, looking at the two of them.

"Don't worry, we are absolutely..."

Before Kunzhong could finish speaking, Nanyan continued:

"If it leaks out and I have too many fans, I'll be in a lot of trouble!"

Kunzhong and Atu looked at each other in bewilderment: "Huh?"

This seems a little different from what they expected!

"ha!"

Seeing the two of them staring in disbelief, Nan Yan burst out laughing.

"Alright, enough teasing, let's get back to business."

Nan Yan looked at the two of them seriously:

"I need your help with something, Kunzhong."

"What is it?"

Kunzhong patted his chest and assured him, "Just ask if you can help!"

"Now you know my identity: the Summoner of the Flame Dragon Armor of the Light and Shadow Armor."

"Mmm." Kunzhong nodded repeatedly.

"There are five sets of this Light and Shadow Armor in total, and only descendants of Light and Shadow Village can summon it," Nan Yan said.

"I remember you mentioned before that I am a descendant of Tu Village."

Atu recalled what Nan Yan had told him at the ERP research center, "Could it be?"

"That's right, the Light and Shadow Village is divided into five elements, and you are a descendant of the Earth Village."

"I'm sorry, but we've already checked, and your genes don't meet the requirements for summoning the armor."

Nan Yan said apologetically.

"Hey, what's the big deal? If you can't summon, you can't summon!" Atu waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

"I, I, I..."

Kunzhong pointed to himself in disbelief.

"You all come from the same place, so I think you should also have earth element blood in your body."

"As for whether you can summon the armor, that depends on whether your genes are compatible."

Although it was clear that Kunzhong definitely met the requirements, it was still necessary to at least put on a show.

"Just having this opportunity is already wonderful!"

Kunzhong has just graduated from high school and is currently preparing to repeat a year of high school, hoping to get into a top university.

At his age, he should be dreaming of saving the world.

Now that such an opportunity is presented to us, how could we possibly refuse it?

……

ERP Research Center.

"I'm happy to inform you that from today onwards, you are a member of the Armor Squad."

Meizhen looked at the examination report with a smile on her face.

How long has it been?

The Earth Shadow Stone has been found, and the summoner for the Earth Tiger Armor has also been found!

"Oh yeah!"

Kunzhong raised his arm high, as if he had won a huge lottery prize.

Meizhen frowned at this, and said seriously, "Kunzhong, I gave you the Earth Tiger Armor so that you could protect the citizens!"

"Don't worry, Meizhen!"

Kunzhong smiled and said, "I will definitely be a good summoner of the Earth Tiger Armor!"

"Alright, now let's talk about your salary and benefits!"

Meizhen shook her head and then said...

He's just a child after all.

"Hmm, is there still money to be paid?"

Kunzhong looked up in surprise.

"What are you thinking? We're a legitimate government agency, not some small-time civilian organization!"

Mei rolled her eyes at Kunzhong.

"Kunzhong, congratulations! From today onwards, you are a civil servant."

Nan Yan said with a smile.

Kunzhong: "Huh?"

Now that he's a civil servant, does he still need to go to university?

After all, for him, the purpose of getting into a top university was to find a good job in the future.

But he's already at the finish line!
