However, Liam had already anticipated this possibility.
Before anyone could approach, he calmly raised his hand and activated a protective barrier around himself and his companions.
This was one of the techniques he had learned through Mu Ning's system.
Although he had not completely mastered its more advanced applications, creating a simple defensive barrier was no longer difficult for him.
A faint, almost transparent layer of energy appeared around the group.
The spectators who tried to approach suddenly found themselves blocked by an invisible force.
No matter how hard they pushed, they could not move another step forward.
"What is this?"
"Why can't we get closer?"
"Is this some kind of advanced defensive technology?"
Several people stared at the invisible barrier in astonishment.
After a moment, someone suddenly remembered the rumors that had been circulating about Mu Ning.
It was said that she might have established contact with a higher-level alien civilization.
