The cultivation realms of the students working in society might not be high, but they were the backbone of various industries and even the military. They had a lot of connections, and when they were added together, they had some influence.
Meng Chao hoped that he could spread the ideals of the Ultimate Style through them.
Just as he expected, while everyone was deep in thought, the information in his field of vision changed.
Not only did his contribution points increase, the completion rate for the second segment of the Fight for the Ultimate Style also increased from 0/300 to 6/300.
Excluding Ma Hong, Meng Chao had defeated six broken-star superhumans.
Based on that, the difficulty of completing the mission was not high.
But if he only challenged broken-star superhumans or the freshmen who were at the bottom of the ranking, even if he defeated three hundred people, he would at most get a one-star rating.
If he wanted to get a five-star rating, he needed to attack all the outstanding people in Spirit Tattoo Realm in the city.
"Big Brother Ma, everyone else, I'll be relying on you for the next stage of the experiment. I want to conduct practical tests and gather fighting data," Meng Chao said with a smile.
Ma Hong looked regretful. He shook his head and said, "Meng Chao, we're really interested in the Ultimate Style, and we really want to stay and train for a while, but we just received orders from the army to immediately return. The Red Dragon Army has a major operation in the north of the city, so we have to stop training."
Meng Chao was a little stunned. "Then, what about the other brothers and uncles?"
"Us too."
"The scale of this operation is second to none in the past ten years. Aside from the Red Dragon Army and the Supernatural Tower, all other industries have been mobilized.
"Broken-star superhumans are still superhumans. Compared to the undergraduate students, we're nothing, but in our units, we're the backbone of our work, so we have to join the fight. We have to stop the refresher course."
Meng Chao thought about it and found that it made sense.
Dragon City's expansion was not just a matter for the military.
While the Red Dragon Army moved forward, the Tower Company had to set up signal towers behind them to ensure that the internet was unobstructed. Only then could the drones dance under the guidance of the tactical data link, and the superhuman squads could receive clear orders. Humans had "ears" and "eyes" only in the depths of the fog.
Similarly, the construction companies had to follow up immediately. They had to level the land, clear water, electricity, and spirit energy so that they could turn the barren mountains into urban areas that were suitable for humans to live in.
There was no need to even mention the mining companies. They had to fight for resources against monsters in rugged, hot, and unstable mines. It was ten times more bloody and dangerous than fighting on the ground.
Most of the advanced training fees for these students from society were paid by their units, and the nature of it was "entrusted training".
Now that the unit had issued a conscription order, they were naturally duty-bound to rush back immediately.
A thought popped up in Meng Chao's head. "Big Brother Ma, if that's the case, we can only talk about it after we finish this war. When we go back, Big Brother Bo and I will come up with a small booklet that's easy to understand. We'll have everyone bring it to the military and their own units to ask for opinions on the Ultimate Style's fighting style.
"Also, Dragon City hasn't expanded outwards on a large scale over the past ten years. Will it be dangerous this time? What I'm saying is that we've been harvesting monsters in the resource-type over this period of time, and we discovered a lot of new species that have evolved and mutated. We can't let our guard down. If we're not careful, we might end up suffering a major loss. "
"Don't worry. There are monster experts in the military and the Supernatural Tower. Their data is shared with Agricultural University, so they definitely know more than us. The higher-ups are naturally confident that they can win. We're just soldiers at the frontlines, so we just need to fight bravely!" Ma Hong said with a smile.
The students from society also looked relaxed. In fact, they could not wait to expand their territory and build their careers.
Meng Chao wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
He knew that this was a war of unprecedented scale that involved tens of millions of people and billions of resources. It was impossible for him to stop it with just a few words.
Besides, he did not know how the war would develop, so he did not know how to change or stop it.
He had to go to the frontlines and gather more information before he could decide on his next step.
When he said this, he suddenly remembered something. "Wait, what's the date today?"
"It's the tenth. What's wrong?" Ma Hong asked.
"Isn't that the day of the tournament between the martial arts course and monster controller course?" Meng Chao's expression changed drastically. "This is bad. It's already one o 'clock in the afternoon. The tournament starts at nine o' clock in the morning. Even if it's a fifty-vs-fifty consecutive tournament, it's almost over!"
A few days ago, he had received an official notice from the course that even if he did not get into the competition, he had to observe the tournament. This concerned the glory of the martial arts course.
Besides, he had promised Xie Feng that he would cheer for him!
But the past few days were crucial for the Ultimate Style's experiments. He and Gu Jianbo had not slept for three days and three nights. They were so busy that the world was spinning around them. There was no way they could remember something as trivial as the tournament between freshmen.
"Big Brother Bo, what should I do?" Meng Chao scratched his head.
"It's all my fault. I'm a lecturer. I should have reminded you." Gu Jianbo slapped his forehead. "Last time, I bet on the monster controller course and made things too exaggerated. After that, Dean Zong criticized me and ordered me not to cause any more trouble.
"Since I can't bet, why should I care about the tournament between courses? In any case, regardless of whether it's the Beast Soul Style or the monster controller course, they're all … Ah, let's not talk about this. Ms. Li is going to be angry and scold me for leading you astray!"
"Then, I'll go and take a look. If the tournament hasn't ended yet, I can sneak in through the back door. I might be able to bluff my way through," Meng Chao said.
"Go. I'll go and report the newest progress of Project 1024 to Dean Zong. It's been so many years, but I can finally stand tall and hold my head high!"
Gu Jianbo looked delighted. He thought about it and said, "By the way, if you see Ms. Li, help me observe her mood. If she's in a good mood, I'll go and look for her later and let her know that I haven't been slacking off over the years. Instead, I've been soaring to the top!"
Meng Chao's eyes sparkled.
"Big Brother Bo, don't worry. You've contributed so much to the Dragon Citizens. The people won't forget you. Just leave the rest to me!" He slapped his chest.
Gu Jianbo was stunned. "What is it?"
"It's nothing. I'll be going now. You should hurry up and clean up and conserve your energy. Do your hair and change into a nicer suit. Be prepared to go to Ms. Li at night and share your joy with her!" Meng Chao ran out of the underground lab.
According to the usual practice of the two fighting courses, the tournament between courses would be held in their respective cultivation centers. This time, it was the martial arts course's home ground.
The old lecture building and the martial arts course's cultivation center, which had just been built not long ago, were on the diagonal. If he took the main road, he would have to go past the canteen, the library, and the two lecture buildings. It would be very easy for other lecturers to spot him.
Meng Chao knew a small path. He would first go behind the canteen and climb up to the fifth floor through the drainage pipe. Then, he jumped into the small forest by the side and used the elasticity of the branches to fly above the forest to reach the back door of the cultivation center.
'I wonder how many fights Xie Feng won. Are there any good freshmen from the monster controller course?
'I came late, but I even made a grand entrance. What sort of reason should I use to challenge them so that I won't appear rude and pretentious?'
While Meng Chao jumped, he thought about it.
Suddenly, his eyelids twitched.
It was as if his glabella had been pricked by an ice needle that was as thin as a hair.
Before the spark in his mind could shine, his instincts had already made him stop moving. All the muscle fibers in his body were like sabers that were ready to attack. They could be drawn at any moment.
The thick branches ahead of him were dark.
But his eyes, which shone with electricity, instantly formed the outline of a black figure.
It was a monster.
No, it was the scent of a superbeast.
It was an incredibly dangerous superbeast.
It was like the amalgamation of a lion, a wolf, and a panther.
Its pure black fur was crystalline and shone with a light that was between crystal and metal.
Its dark eyes were like man-eating black holes that attracted Meng Chao's attention.
Even though it had a spirit energy magnetic field collar around its neck and a ring receiver on its head to prove that it was a controlled biochemical beast, most of the freshmen still felt goosebumps when they saw such a suffocating creature in a secluded corner of the campus.
But when Meng Chao saw such a suffocating creature in a secluded corner of the campus, most of the freshmen felt their skin crawl.
But Meng Chao licked his lips and curled up.
It was his occupational disease.
Over the past month or so, he had helped the lecturers and students from the resource course harvest nearly one thousand monsters. He was surrounded by a killing intent that humans could not smell, but monsters could sense.
And he was itching to use his skills. Regardless of whether he saw wild monsters or controllable biochemical beasts, it was as if he was looking at a blank canvas. He could not help but want to splash ink on them and turn them into exquisite works of art.
'What a beautiful fur. I really want to feel the pleasure of using a blade that's as thin as a cicada's wing to cut through its fur and flesh!
'Such strong muscles and tendons. The tendons in this creature's front claws are at least fifty centimeters long. They might even be more than fifty-five centimeters long. They're the best raw materials for tanning tactical straps. They're also pretty good for wrapping around the handles of cold weapons.
'It's really good at hiding. It hides in the forest and doesn't release any heat. This means that it has a unique organ that can control temperature, or else it wouldn't be able to solve the problem of heat dissipation during a fight.
'I really want to cut this creature into pieces and study its structure …'
Meng Chao gulped and smiled at the biochemical beast in a friendly manner.
The biochemical beast shuddered and shrank back into the branches.
Then, a small, dirty face appeared.
It was a young girl.
She did not seem to be much older than Bai Jiacao. Her features were pretty, but they were the complete opposite of her.
The younger sister had a round face. Before she became evil, her cheeks were red, and she looked like a red apple that smiled all day long.
The young girl had an oval face and dark skin. Her lips were pursed tightly, but they could not hide her sharp canine teeth.
Her gaze was very strange. It was not friendly, but there was no hostility in it either. It was just … hungry.
She was also wearing an Agricultural University uniform.
On her chest was the picture of a monster's head with a control ring on it.
It was the symbol of the monster controller course.
Meng Chao could not help but want to laugh.
Because he finally noticed a student whose uniform was even more tattered and wrinkled than his.
The young girl was no taller than 1.55 meters.
But she was wearing the largest uniform.
Part of her sleeves and pants had been torn off, and she used rubber bands to tighten them. Then, she wrapped them around her elbows and knees.
Her uniform was like a torn sack, and many parts of it had been torn to reveal her black, silky skin. It was also dyed in all sorts of suspicious colors, making it look like a colorful camouflage uniform.
Her clothes were already so "cool", but she still seemed to be very uncomfortable, and kept scratching herself.
His face was full of displeasure, just like a black cat with its fur standing on end.
