Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"boom--!"

The moment the fist collided with the palm, a tremendous force spread from Prince Fu's arm throughout his body.

He felt his blood surging and involuntarily took three steps back before he could barely steady himself.

Looking at Meng Chuan's tall and straight back, Prince Fu was filled with shock.

I used to be unable to dodge even a marble in front of him.

Meng Chuan, who used to get bruised and battered by him every day, has now grown up to this extent.

Prince Fu rubbed his numb arm, feeling both shocked and delighted.

At the same time, it was accompanied by waves of disappointment.

He eventually... grew old.

Meanwhile, the battle between No. 1 and Zhan Yi also intensified.

The level 3 mech in Zhan Yi possessed astonishing power; every punch it delivered was accompanied by the sound of wind breaking.

With this level three mech in Zhan Yi's body, its strength was already comparable to that of Zero back then.

But Number 1 was as agile as a ghost, constantly dodging the mechs' attacks as it flapped its wings.

The tail lashed precisely at the mecha's joints, leaving Zhan Yi in a sorry state.

Bi Wang and Xue Luosha exchanged a glance and simultaneously launched a mental attack.

Two invisible spiritual blades pierced towards Meng Chuan like sharp knives.

Meng Chuan's eyes narrowed, and his mental energy instantly expanded, forming a transparent barrier that forcefully blocked the attack.

"Well done!"

Meng Chuan shouted loudly, abandoned Prince Fu, and instantly appeared behind Prince Bi.

His hand gently landed on Bi Wang's shoulder.

However, with a light palm strike, Bi Wang's whole body stiffened, and he felt that the "qi" in his body was blocked by a force, and could no longer circulate.

"King Bi, 'dead in battle'."

In just half an hour, all the people on the platform were "defeated" by Meng Chuan and Number 1.

Zhan Yi slumped inside the mecha, panting heavily.

Prince Fu rubbed his numb arm.

Bi Wang and Xue Luosha both wore bitter smiles.

They thought their strength had greatly increased after going into seclusion, but they were still no match for Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan looked at everyone, his tone serious:

“Starting tomorrow, everyone will join the training! Uncle Fu will be in charge of the mass production and logistics of the armor, and everyone else will come and practice with me every day!”

"Yes!"

For the next two months, the Mars base was plunged into an unprecedented period of high-intensity training.

On the training field, Meng Chuan and No. 1 can be seen every day.

Sometimes they sparred with a thousand warriors, and sometimes they guided Bi Wang, Zhan Yi and others in their cultivation.

The soldiers then engaged in combat in groups, meticulously refining every detail, from tactical coordination to mech control.

The strengthening effects of the life energy liquid gradually became apparent, and with Meng Chuan's personal guidance, many warriors broke through their strength bottlenecks.

For example, Zhan San and Zhan Qi, their strength is already approaching that of Bi Wang.

Three hundred thousand sets of "Predator" armor were also completed on schedule, in addition to two hundred thousand Green Gang warriors.

The remaining 100,000 sets were temporarily placed on the mothership.

Everyone felt a surge of fighting spirit and were filled with hope for the future.

Only Meng Chuan's heart sank lower and lower each day.

Because Little Card Elf reports to Meng Chuan almost every day.

"Commander, the Caron Star fleet is 0.2 light-years away from Mars. Maintaining the speed of light, it is expected to arrive in two months."

"Commander, the other side is rejecting all communication requests. The target has been locked onto Mars, with no signs of shifting."

"Commander, the fleet is quite large. Initial detections indicate at least ten main warships, whose strength far surpasses that of our mothership."

Each report felt like a heavy blow to Meng Chuan's heart.

Meng Chuan knew that the peaceful days were about to end.

The real showdown is drawing ever closer.

On this day, Meng Chuan stood at the highest point of the Mars base and spoke into the mecha's communicator:

"Xiao Ka, start the global live stream."

The next second, Meng Chuan's image appeared on all electronic devices on Earth and Mars.

Kaspersky has already conquered the world's communication equipment.

Meng Chuan was wearing a level three mecha, his white hair fluttering in the wind, his eyes firm and heavy.

"Fellow Earthlings."

Meng Chuan's voice resonated throughout the world:

"I am Meng Chuan. Today, I have some heavy news to tell you all - a fleet of warships from the super civilization of Karen Star is heading towards Mars at the speed of light and is expected to arrive in two months."

The live stream switched, and a blurry image of the Karen Star fleet appeared on the screen.

These are all real images captured by the little elf.

The enormous warships, like black whales, traversed the universe, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

The world was instantly plunged into panic.

People who had finally emerged from the shadow of "zero" were once again shrouded in the shadow of "doomsday".

The comment section exploded. Some were terrified, some were desperate, and some frantically tagged Meng Chuan, seeing him as their only hope.

"Lord Meng Chuan, you must have a way, right?"

"We are willing to join the fight! Even if it costs us our lives, we will protect Earth!"

"I have cultivated 'Qi'! Please, Lord Meng Chuan, lead us to the battlefield!"

Meng Chuan felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the messages on the screen, but his tone remained calm:

"Please calm down, everyone. First of all, thank you for your trust, but the current battle cannot be fought with enthusiasm alone."

Meng Chuan would never agree to a request to fight.

After being strengthened and specially trained, the Green Gang fighters were far more powerful than ordinary people.

The involvement of ordinary people would only become a burden.

Of course, Meng Chuan still kindly reassured him:

"I hope everyone can cultivate diligently. If we manage to protect Mars, we will further popularize our cultivation methods."

"If Mars is lost, you will be Earth's last hope. Remember, protecting yourselves is protecting Earth."

These words were both a reassurance and a statement of fact.

Ordinary people are like ants in front of the Karen Star warships. Rather than letting them sacrifice in vain, it is better to preserve their seeds.

The transport ships have already been left to Earth.

That transport ship can carry around 10 people at a time.

Command is now in Ye Xiao's hands.

If Mars falls, Ye Xiao will become the world's highest commander.

She will lead Meng Chuan's family, along with most of the Green Gang's powerful members, on a life of wandering the universe.

It's not that Meng Chuan is selfish; even he couldn't "take the Earth on a journey" right now.

If some people can be saved, perhaps there is still hope for Earth's civilization.

After the live stream ended, Meng Chuan's private communicator suddenly rang—it was Liu Qian calling.

When the connection was established, Liu Qian and Chen Yiyi's faces appeared on the screen, their eyes red and struggling to hold back tears.

She also saw Meng Chuan's live stream.

"Meng Chuan, you must be careful."

Liu Qian's voice was choked with sobs:

"We're waiting for you to come back to Earth."

"Meng Chuan, you can't get hurt!"

Chen Yiyi wiped away her tears, but said firmly:

"We are all training, waiting for you to come back and teach us even stronger skills!"

Since the cultivation method was made public.

Liu Qian and Chen Yiyi also joined the cultivation army.

It's just that they're all getting old.

I still haven't developed a sense of Qi.

Looking at the two of them, Meng Chuan felt a surge of tenderness, yet also a pang of guilt.

Just as he was about to speak, his parents appeared in the frame.

Before they knew it, the two old people's hair had turned gray.

Their eyes were filled with complex emotions, their lips moved, but they remained silent.

Meng Chuan knew what they were thinking.

As parents, they didn't want their son to take risks.

But as Earthlings, they knew that apart from their own son, no one could stop the invasion of Karen.

This contradictory psychology forced them to be great.

Looking at the familiar face on the screen, Meng Chuan's throat tightened.

A thousand words welled up in my heart, but in the end, they all turned into a hoarse sentence:

"Mom and Dad, Liu Qian, Yi Yi...take care."

After hanging up the communicator, Meng Chuan looked up at the universe.

The distant stars twinkled, as if concealing countless unknown dangers.

Meng Chuan took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

Two months later, no matter the cost, he will protect Mars and Earth!

Meanwhile, deep in space, the fleet of warships on the planet Karen continued to advance at high speed.

The black warship, its surface gleaming coldly, resembled a lurking beast, slowly approaching towards Mars...
