Chapter 90: Rapidly Increasing Experience Points (4k)

Tap tap tap~
After Shen Bailian left, Zhang Hao covered his nose, but still couldn't resist the pungent smell of blood. He went to the corpse of the Blood Demon Hound leader.

"Sigh~"

Upon seeing the injuries on his body, Zhang Hao couldn't help but gasp in shock.

This is no longer a Blood Demon Hound; it's practically a pile of mud. Putting aside the knife wounds all over its body, the Blood Demon Hound leader's front half alone has almost all the bones broken.

A large gash was cut open in his abdomen, and his internal organs were shattered and flowed out like blood, which was the direct cause of his death.

In the area where the eyes were located on the skull, there was a terrifying hole, and under the blazing sun, the white, tofu-like substance inside could be clearly seen.

The immense strength, swift speed, keen perception, and profound skill—none of these four qualities could have caused such terrifying damage.

"Has the distance already widened this much?"

Zhang Hao stared intently into the direction Shen Bailian had gone, his emotions a complex mix of emotions. He couldn't help but clench his bow tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

"Pfft~"

Shen Bailian pulled the expensive custom-made arrow from the corpse of the last Blood Demon Hound, wiped off the bloodstains, and put it back into his storage ring along with the Zero-Type Battle Bow.

"The battle report has been uploaded. Congratulations to 9527 for gaining 5 military merits. Remaining military merits: 926 points."

"Not bad, not bad, we've reached one-third of the way."

Shen Bailian looked at the military merit points displayed on the virtual AR glasses.

A wave of fat!
In this one instance alone, I gained nearly 250 military merit points.

In less than half an hour, he had earned enough military merit points to last a whole day, bringing him close to one-third of the three thousand required.

"At this rate, it should take about another week to successfully apply for a Sun-class Lungmen species."

Thinking of this, even the usually composed Shen Bailian couldn't help but show a joyful smile on his face.

However, such good things don't happen often.

In the third-level buffer zone, it is rare to see groups of ferocious beasts. Even if they do appear, without receiving a message from Duan Wuyai, he wouldn't be able to detect them.

Shen Bailian glanced at his own panel—

Character Level: LV6 (598/1300)

[Active Skill: Running LV4 (521/800)]

Tian Gang Qi LV1 (231/400)

Basic Knife Skills LV2 (262/400)

Passive Skill: Iron Body LV3 (81/1000)

"As expected, the path of martial arts is one of fighting your way out."

Shen Bailian's smile widened as he watched the rapidly increasing experience points on the panel.

In just over ten minutes of actual combat, I gained 20 running experience points, 16 Heavenly Qi, 20 basic sword skills, and even 8 experience points for the Iron Body skill.

Before he came out, Shen Bailian wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

"Continue the hunt."

Shen Bailian opened his virtual AR glasses, checked the surrounding area, then selected a red area that had not yet been cleared and ran towards it.

As for the person among the pile of rocks...

Shen Bailian had already noticed the other party's presence when the other party nocked the bow and aimed, but Shen Bailian was too lazy to care. The other party meant no harm and was just looking; it wouldn't hurt him.

As long as you don't steal monsters, everything is fine.

As for ambushing him?
The probability is too low. In that area of ​​rubble, the surveillance system has no obstruction to its view. Once discovered, it would be a serious crime involving a lifetime and three generations of one's family.

No one dared to defy this public opinion.

One day later, in the dome-shaped conference room of Base One.

"What a terrifying little fellow." A lean officer pushed open the door and walked behind the burly officer. Looking at the light screen in front of the latter, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
"Captain Wang, could you recruit this kid into my elite squad?"

The virtual screen was replaying Shen Bailian's battle at Xiaoheishan.

Judging from the boy's movement speed on the screen, his physical fitness level is probably around 6.5, which is not particularly outstanding.

However, Shen Bailian's powerful defense, precise control of strength, and skillful swordsmanship allowed him to withstand the Blood Demon Hound leader, whose physical attributes reached level 8.0, and defeat him decisively.

This performance deeply impressed the lean officer, who wanted to recruit him into his ranks.

"Okay!"

In an instant, the lean officer was overjoyed, a bright smile spreading across his face. He hadn't expected the arrival to be so easy, and immediately said, "Four horses!"

"Don't let things get out of hand."

Captain Wang interrupted the lean officer abruptly, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"If you can snatch him away from him, you should definitely make sure that kid is given priority consideration to join your elite squad."

"Uh." The smile on the tall, thin officer's face froze the moment he saw Duan Wuyai. "Captain Wang, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Suddenly, a soldier looked at the burly officer and said, "Report, Captain Wang, there's a special situation."

Captain Wang's expression immediately turned serious. He strode over and asked, "What's going on?"

"In area C3 (C represents the third buffer zone), a cluster of sixteen bronze-armored demon wolves was discovered. The strongest of them has reached level 9.5 in physical attributes, which is close to entering the next level."

Team Leader Wang frowned slightly.

The level 9.5 Bronze Armored Demon Wolf is almost ready to advance to the next tier.

Its shoulder height is about 2.5 meters. Compared to other ferocious beasts, its body is much shorter. But it is a concentrated essence. Its scale armor's defensive capabilities can exceed those of 90% of F-level ferocious beasts. When it charges, it can even rival an ordinary tank.

Ordinary kinetic weapons and gunpowder have extremely limited lethality against it, and its weaknesses are all in extremely hidden places, such as the abdomen, eyes, and jaw.

Even ordinary martial artists who have just entered the Life Establishment Realm would find it difficult to fight against him, because they are basically unable to break through his defenses.

This was a fatal blow to the cleanup crew in the third buffer zone.

"Once we pinpoint its location, immediately use the laser weapon with the Sky Eye monitoring system activated to precisely snipe it." After only a brief moment of thought, Captain Wang issued the order.

Training is training, but soldiers' lives cannot be taken lightly; this is beyond the scope of what a martial arts apprentice can handle.
"Yes!"

"and many more."

Duan Wuyai walked over at some point. He looked at the soldier and asked, "How far is it from 9527?"

"Old Duan." Captain Wang glared angrily, a bad feeling suddenly rising in his heart: "Don't tell me you want that kid to deal with those ferocious beasts."

"Ah."

"What the hell!" Captain Wang couldn't help but swear. He was about to say something more, but Duan Wuyai stopped him with a look.

Duan Wuyai looked at the soldier and asked, "If we use the Heavenly Eye Array to control the laser for sniping, how long is the delay?"

"Let me check." The soldier hesitated for a moment, then, at Captain Wang's nod, skillfully began operating on the screen: "Based on the location of the Bronze Armored Demon Wolf, today's atmospheric conditions, humidity, temperature, visibility, and the currently allocated computing power..."

"It takes 0.2 seconds from locking on to sniping."

“Not enough,” Duan Wuyai said decisively. “What if we use three Heavenly Eyes?”

"0.08 seconds."

"enough."

Duan Wuyai nodded in satisfaction. The instant kill in combat outside the initial stages usually takes more than ten seconds. He looked at the soldier and said again:
"Send the location of that pack of bronze-armored demon wolves to 9527."

"Ah."

This time, the soldier consulted Captain Wang again, and under his helpless gaze, finally sent the coordinates of the Copper Armored Demon Wolf pack to 9527.

"Good luck." The soldier looked at 9527 on the screen and silently offered his blessings. Although the delay was only 0.08 seconds, in the chaos of battle, no matter how fast a sniper's speed was, injuries were inevitable. Even being hit by the inertia of the Copper Armored Demon Wolf would be a force that ordinary martial arts apprentices could not withstand.

On a desolate wasteland strewn with boulders.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as the Bloodhounds moved, they were accurately struck by a series of rapidly flying arrows. The arrows pierced through their bodies instantly, pinning them firmly to the ground.

The tip of the arrow hummed and vibrated in the air.

"Roar!"

A flicker of fear and resentment flashed in the Bloodhound's eyes. It struggled to get up, but the force of the arrow rendered it immobile, and it let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!"

It let out a defiant roar, but the sound abruptly stopped as a cold glint flashed.

"The battle report has been uploaded. Congratulations to 9527 for gaining 13 military merits. Remaining military merits: 1530 points."

Shen Bailian took out a rag and a first-tier nutrient potion from his storage ring. After wiping the blood off the Dragon Slayer, he put it back into its sheath.

Behind him, a clear trail could be seen, a road paved with the remains of a Bloodhound, with an extremely strong smell of blood.

After the battle at Little Black Mountain yesterday, Shen Bailian encountered a large group of Blood Demon Dogs gathering while clearing the red area.

I disturbed the ant nest.

However, he did not rush to start a massacre. Instead, he found a secluded place with a wide view and waited.

finally.

Those who persevere will be rewarded.

At 4:50 a.m., as dawn was breaking, Shen Bailian was in a half-asleep, half-awake state. Just as he was about to go down and collect points,

The Blood Demon Hound pack has finally assembled, consisting of two to three hundred Blood Demon Hounds with physical attributes of level 4.5 or higher, with the strongest being only about ten at level 7.2.

then.

A battle, or rather a massacre, broke out between unequal forces.

The battle raged from 5:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with the blood-soaked battlefield stretching for over ten kilometers. Fortunately, the Dragon Slayer sword given to them by Xiao Yan was of excellent quality; otherwise, no matter how careful they were, it would have been worn down in the process.

"We're only halfway to reach 3,000 military merit points; it's just around the corner!"

Shen Bailian opened the cap of the first-tier nutritional potion, gulped it down in two gulps, and swallowed the entire basic nutritional potion.

He closed his eyes slightly, using his mental energy to sense his entire body.

Suddenly, I felt as if all my muscles, bones, internal organs, and cells were like hungry wolves that had been starving for a long time, and were frantically devouring the long-awaited nutrients as if they had finally received rain after a drought.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
My heart pounded like a deafening war drum, and my body felt as if it were undergoing a baptism, constantly improving my physical condition and becoming clear and transparent inside and out.

However, the pungent smell of blood in the surroundings was too overpowering and somewhat spoiled the fun.

Congratulations! Your physical attribute has been improved!

Suddenly, a message popped up on the panel at just the right time.

"I feel like my basic swordsmanship skills are about to be upgraded."

Shen Bailian gripped the Dragon Slayer sword tightly, sensing his own condition. After receiving continuous guidance from Kong Chaowu and Duan Wuyai, his understanding of swordsmanship became increasingly profound.

This is reflected in the panel as a significant leap in the speed at which the basic swordsmanship skill gains experience points recently.

Character Level: LV6 (701/1300)

Physical Strength: 7.1; Spirit: 4.2

[Divine Skill: Shadow Follows LV1 (0/1)]

[Active Skill: Running LV4 (601/800)]

Tian Gang Qi LV1 (241/400)

Basic Knife Skills LV2 (375/400)

Passive Skill: Iron Body LV3 (97/1000)

[Divine Matter: 97]

Real combat has once again proven that martial arts are not something you can learn in isolation, but something you develop through fighting.

The road to heaven is paved with blood and remains.

After six or seven hours of slaughter, Shen Bailian's experience points in basic swordsmanship surged by 113 points, while the increase in experience points for the other skills was not significant.

The second-highest number of experience points gained also increased the running skill by 80 points, and three-quarters of the way to level up has already passed.

at the same time.

Shen Bailian's swordsmanship became increasingly refined, and his mastery of cutting iron also improved accordingly. Previously, he could only accumulate the power of about ten strikes, but now he can accumulate about 24 strikes.

The power amplification becomes twice the normal power, and the burst time is about 0.2 seconds.

In addition, the cutting ability brought by the high-frequency vibration makes it virtually invincible when dealing with non-ranked ferocious beasts.

These blood demon hounds had completely lost their ability to suppress Shen Bailian.

Furthermore, through Shen Bailian's 'secret' accumulation, the divine substance had reached 97 points, leaving only 3 points to go before reaching 100.

The results were remarkable.

However, without pressure, there is no motivation, and the speed at which experience points are gained will inevitably slow down.

Sudden.

"Xiao Shen, I'm sending you some information and coordinates. If you're interested, I can keep it for you. If not, I'll just delete it."

"receive."

Listening to the sound from the bone conduction headphones, Shen Bailian looked down and turned on his smart bracelet to check the messages that had been sent to him.

I quickly browsed through it.

A sudden glint of light flashed in Shen Bailian's eyes, his heart filled with extreme excitement.

"Thank you, Teacher Duan. I'll take this task."

This is like a pillow being delivered to you just when you're about to fall asleep.

The bronze-armored demon wolf, with a physical fitness level of 9.5, is just right for Shen Bailian, who is currently seeking pressure.

boom!
Suddenly, thunder roared between heaven and earth, and blinding lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark sky and making the entire mountain valley bright.

Wow~~
Large raindrops pelted down from the dark clouds, gradually becoming denser.

Shen Bailian carefully climbed up a giant tree.

Several hundred meters away, on a rocky cliff, more than a dozen ferocious bronze-armored demon wolves were resting and taking shelter from the rain in a cave.

"What bad luck."

Shen Bailian looked up.

The weather was really strange. In just a few minutes, dark clouds covered the sky, and there was a faint rumbling sound coming from the north, but it was too far away.

"Let you live a little longer."

Shen Bailian glanced at the pack of wolves, took out a raincoat from his storage ring, put it on, and prepared to make his move after the downpour subsided.

There will be an extra chapter in the next update, a little surprise. The update time will remain the same as usual.
