Chapter 78: Awakening Level 10, First Trigger (With Release Announcement)
Before Dong Hai Feng could respond,
“Roar!” Two larger moon demon wolves from the pack let out a deep growl, ignoring Dong Hai Feng completely. They turned and began to flee.
“Aw!” “Aw!” The rest of the moon demon wolves followed in a panic.
These moon demon wolves were bloodthirsty, but they were far from stupid.
“Want to run?”
“You’re all just points. Stay right here.” Li Yuan’s eyes narrowed, his legs instantly exploded with strength, and his powerful thighs slammed down onto a giant rock. He leaped several meters into the air, turning into a illusion as he chased after the fleeing moon demon wolves.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!” The spear shadows danced, the long spear in Li Yuan’s hand seemed to have a life of its own, suddenly erupting with incredible power.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” One by one, the moon demon wolves were caught by Li Yuan, their heads pierced through by the spear before they could react.
As an entry-level weapon, the long spear in Li Yuan’s hand was extremely sharp. Its hardness and toughness were also sufficient.
Just over ten seconds.
Of the more than twenty fleeing moon demon wolves, Li Yuan had killed nearly ten. The rest had already scattered, desperately avoiding the ravines and forests, disappearing from Li Yuan’s sight.
On the hundred-meter long, jungle-covered wasteland, wolf corpses littered the ground, blood splattering everywhere, a horrifying sight.
“They actually ran?” Li Yuan muttered to himself, finally stopping the chase.
Boom!
A few seconds later, Dong Hai Feng, panting heavily, ran to Li Yuan’s side and couldn’t help but say, “Li Yuan, thank you.”
“What are you thanking me for?” Li Yuan smiled.
“You saved me.” Dong Hai Feng said solemnly.
“I should be thanking you.” Li Yuan said with a faint smile, “You lured them over. Otherwise, I’d have to spend a lot more effort to find them.”
Dong Hai Feng was taken aback.
“Huh?” Li Yuan glanced at the side, and saw that the positioning bracelet’s combat assessment data had been updated:
Points: 46
Ranking: 1
Note: Practical assessment target achieved
“That moon demon wolf was level 10.8, and I got 10 points for killing it?” Li Yuan’s lips curved into a smile, secretly thinking, “Good. I’m finally back in first place.”
With the information provided by Lin Lan Yue, coupled with Li Yuan’s own strength, his points had soared.
However, every time he reached first place, he would be quickly overtaken by ‘Wu Dong Dong.’
“Wu Dong Dong, 42 points?” Li Yuan opened the ‘screen’ of his smart wristwatch and saw the detailed rankings:
First: Li Yuan, 46 points
Second: Wu Dong Dong, 42 points
Third: Lin Lan Yue, 40 points
Fourth: Wang Yu, 32 points
…
The vast majority of students had scores below 10 points. Less than 50 people had managed to score 10 points.
Li Yuan had even noticed that the number of participants had already decreased to 745.
This meant that over 200 students had already stopped the practical assessment.
Life-or-death combat was not so easy for most elite students.
“Dong Hai Feng, go for it. You still have a chance to break into the top 100, judging by your score.” Li Yuan smiled, glancing at the dumbfounded Dong Hai Feng beside him, “I’ll be off.”
Scanning his surroundings, Li Yuan headed directly deeper into the ‘Moon Demon Wolf 8 Gathering Area.’
According to the intelligence, there should be more than just these moon demon wolves in a gathering area.
After all,
The moon demon wolves in the practical assessment area were all captured from military bases and fed regularly, so there were a lot of them.
Watching Li Yuan disappear at the edge of the forest,
Dong Hai Feng stood there, silent for a long time before sighing, “Maybe Li Yuan never considered me as an opponent.”
“First place?”
“Lin Lan Yue, third place?” Dong Hai Feng’s eyes dimmed as he looked at the rankings on his smart wristwatch.
“I was being a fool.”
…
Saving Dong Hai Feng?
Although the other party had inexplicably shown a hint of aversion and hostility on the way to Jiangbei Wudao University, Li Yuan had never taken it seriously.
How much malice could there be between classmates?
And how could it affect him?
…
Inside the war fortress of the Moon Demon Star Realm, in the largest conference room on the top floor.
Many officers were looking at the densely packed light screen projections in the conference room.
“Too weak.”
The burly officer shook his head, unable to help himself, “They are only the most ordinary moon demon wolves, with few entry-level ones. In just a few hours, they forced a quarter of the people to ask for help.”
“Look at that little fellow, his skills and physical fitness aren’t bad, but he can’t exert the advantages of his swordsmanship, and he’s been forced to retreat step by step.” The burly officer pointed at one of the light screens and sighed.
“Old Wang.”
The other lean and tall senior officer beside him smiled, “They are just children. Although they have experienced many virtual battles, you and I both know that practical combat and virtual combat are completely different.”
“Their mentality alone is different.” The lean and tall officer said, “Virtual combat, no matter how realistic the simulation, you know in your heart that you won’t get hurt or die, so naturally you won’t be afraid.”
“In practice, if you’re not careful, you’ll be injured or killed. It’s normal to be hesitant during the first battle.”
“Once they experience a few more actual battles, they’ll be fine.”
The officer surnamed Wang shook his head, sighing, “I’m just anxious.”
Suddenly,
“Old Wang, look. Isn’t that kid doing pretty well?” The lean and tall officer pointed at one of the light screens, “He’s so calm. His gun technique is beautiful.”
“Even though his physical fitness is a bit weaker, he dares to fight close-quarters combat with an entry-level moon demon wolf.”
The light screen displayed the scene of Li Yuan saving Dong Hai Feng and fighting the large group of moon demon wolves.
“Oh?” The officer surnamed Wang couldn’t help but look, his eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but nod, “He’s not bad!”
The two of them could tell from his speed alone that Li Yuan’s physical fitness wasn’t exaggerated.
About level 9.
But Li Yuan’s every move, every shot, was terrifyingly precise in close-quarters combat.
The moon demon wolf leader, whose physical strength far surpassed Li Yuan’s, was completely outmatched.
“His name is Li Yuan?”
The lean and tall officer lowered his head and quickly checked the data, smiling, “Physical fitness, level 8.9? Gun technique, four-section? He actually made it to first place.”
“The other students, those with stronger physical fitness and good skills, are mostly hesitant when they fight. Their mental fortitude isn’t as good as his.”
“Besides, he’s had good luck. He’s encountered more moon demon wolves along the way.” The lean and tall officer said.
“With this strength, it’s normal for him to be in first place.” The officer surnamed Wang smiled, “I like practical combat geniuses.”
As soldiers who had been on the front lines of war for years, they didn’t really care about ‘paper strength.’
In their eyes, the strength you could actually wield was the true strength.
“Old Ji, check his detailed information.” The officer surnamed Wang said.
“Okay.”
The lean and tall officer quickly clicked on the control console in front of him, and soon Li Yuan’s detailed information appeared.
“Family background, ordinary!”
“Oh? He also won the title of Young Hero.” The lean and tall officer’s eyes lit up, “Old Wang, look.”
“Young Hero title?” The officer surnamed Wang was even more surprised and lowered his head to look at the information.
After reading for a dozen seconds,
The two officers simultaneously looked up, as if they had a telepathic connection, and both showed smiles.
“What do you think?”
“Give him a spot.” The officer surnamed Wang grinned, “We didn’t give a single spot last year, and they reprimanded us.”
“I’m not willing to give this kind of stuff to those rich kids. Do they need it? Even if we give it to them, they won’t remember our kindness.”
“This Li Yuan, even though he’s from Starfire Martial Temple, he doesn’t belong to our military, but with this kind of family background, to achieve this, it suits my temperament.”
“Besides, those who can win the title of Young Hero, can their character be bad?” The officer surnamed Wang gave a series of reasons.
“Alright.”
“I also think he’s not bad.” The lean and tall officer nodded, “Besides Li Yuan, there’s another one I think is good.”
“Tian Da Zhuang?” The officer surnamed Wang asked in return.
“You saw him too?”
“I did. His practical combat mentality is a bit worse than Li Yuan’s, but he was specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall. Maybe we can try inviting him to join our military.”
…
Time passed.
On the hundred-kilometer long and wide practical assessment site, mountains stretched as far as the eye could see. Large numbers of students continuously engaged in battle with the Star Realm creatures.
Many moon demon wolves died.
Students were also constantly forced to call for help. The battle drones following them were often able to reach the scene and kill the attacking moon demon wolves within ten seconds.
However, no matter how fast the rescue was or how well the protective clothes protected their vital areas, there were still occasional students who were injured or even killed in the attack.
There was no way to avoid this.
When the time reached 3 pm,
There were less than 200 students left in the entire practical assessment site.
On a rocky wasteland on the east side of Blade Ridge Mountain.
“Roar!” “Aw!”
“Roar!” A wave of moon demon wolves roared and tried to surround the black-armored youth in the center, coming from all directions.
A large number of moon demon wolf corpses lay scattered on the ground.
The stench of blood was overwhelming.
The black-armored youth stood in the center, facing the tide of moon demon wolves attacking him, his spear circle was not moved in the slightest.
His spear wasn’t fast, but each shot was incredibly precise.
One moon demon wolf after another fell.
He was like a rock, completely unmoved by the onslaught of hundreds of moon demon wolves.
“Roar!” From atop a giant rock nearby, a massive moon demon wolf, over three meters long and nearly one and a half meters tall, growled in frustration, staring intently at the black-armored youth.
It couldn’t understand how the alien youth in front of him had such a terrifying strength despite his weak life aura.
He dared not make a move.
“I don’t know if I should say bad luck or good fortune.”
“I actually encountered the ‘Tribe No. 1’ mentioned in the intelligence.” Li Yuan’s heart was as calm as water, his eyes cold, “A level 12.1 wolf king, three big wolves over level 10, and hundreds of ordinary moon demon wolves.”
This force was enough to make ordinary entry-level warriors flee in terror.
Li Yuan wanted to escape, but he couldn’t.
In terms of running speed, with his physical fitness, he wasn’t that fast.
During the previous 20-minute chase, Li Yuan had killed more than 20 moon demon wolves, including an entry-level moon demon wolf.
In the end, he was surrounded.
“But the continuous killing has also made my awakening level soar.” Li Yuan thought to himself, his eyes cold.
“【… Awakening level reaches 9.7%】”
“【… Awakening level reaches 9.9%】” As more moon demon wolves fell, a series of prompts flashed across Li Yuan’s vision.
Suddenly, a spear shot across the sky, and two more prompts flashed across the corner of Li Yuan’s vision.
“【… Awakening level reaches 10%】”
“【Awakening level has reached 10%, can guide one time Source Power into the body】”
“Huh? Source Power into the body? What’s that? Didn’t the awakening level have to reach 25% before there was any so-called spiritual guidance?” Li Yuan was startled.
Before he could think further,
“Roar!”
The massive moon demon wolf king on the giant rock couldn’t help but let out a roar, leaped into the air, and charged forward like lightning.
