The martial arts course freshmen no longer hesitated. After ten minutes of rest, they had recovered by seven-tenths of their stamina, so they decided to remove their badly damaged strengthened exoskeletons and fight with light gear.
This time, they learned their lesson. They moved carefully and paid attention to their feet and their backs at all times.
They even formed a triangular formation on their own. Three students formed a group and moved forward with their backs against each other. They shared a 360-degree field of vision with each other.
Once they gave up on creating spirit energy magnetic fields, their openings and reaction time were reduced by leaps and bounds, and their hunting efficiency became higher.
Regardless of whether it was the Wolf Crocodiles, Ghost-arrow Pigs, or Hundred-eyed Toads, they were all normal monsters. As long as the prodigies from Agricultural University's martial arts course fought steadily, they would not be able to pose a fatal threat to them.
Gradually, the freshmen found their form, and the more they killed, the easier it became for them.
The two lecturers watched from the distance, and different expressions appeared on their faces.
"Ms. Li, Meng Chao from your martial arts course has been really famous lately!"
The monster controller lecturer said with a grin. "I didn't expect that you would agree with his idea and think that creating spirit energy magnetic fields isn't important."
Li Yingzi was silent for a long time before she sighed and said, "Ms. Zhao, you should know that I participated in Project 1024 when Meng Chao and Mr. Gu created it, but a serious accident happened during graduation, which led to Zong Ye's death. Mr. Gu and I didn't share the same ideals, which is why we parted ways.
"For a total of ten years, I believed that I was right, but Mr. Gu refused to come to his senses and went through spirit energy deviation.
"I tried to persuade him for a long time, but he refused to listen. In my anger, I ignored Project 1024 and Mr. Gu. Later, the project suffered an even greater setback, and he seemed to have completely given up on it. I just watched by the side and didn't help him when he needed it the most.
"This is the thing I regret the most in my life.
"Regardless of whether I was once a participant in Project 1024 or … with another identity, I shouldn't have been so cold.
"Then, half a month ago, Mr. Gu and Meng Chao brought out the results of their research and proved that Zong Ye's wild idea might really become a reality. It was only then that I snapped out of my daze and felt so ashamed that I wanted to crawl into a hole.
"As it turns out, I've been the one who hasn't come to my senses for so many years. I really shouldn't have given up on Zong Ye and Gu Jianbo's hard work and become a deserter.
"Of course, the beast soul fusion I'm practicing right now is also a brand new martial art with great power and endless possibilities, but I've decided to do everything I can to give Ms. Gu and Meng Chao a chance for the Ultimate Style.
"Cultivation is also a science, and science requires constant exploration and trial and error. Mistakes also have their own value, don't they?
"Ms. Zhao, honestly, I'm suggesting that the monster controller course students learn about the Ultimate Style. You might be able to make them even stronger."
The monster controller tutor was slightly taken aback.
"I know that the monster controller course has been continuously innovating its fighting ideals. To continuously strengthen their minds, traditional monster controllers have deformed brains, but their bodies are usually very weak. In the end, when their biochemical beasts become stronger, their bodies will become fatal weaknesses."
Li Yingzi smiled faintly. "You spent a lot of effort to recruit Wu Wu this year. It's clear that you don't just value her personal value. You want to explore a brand new path through her and see just how strong a monster controller who strengthens his personal fighting strength can become.
"If that's really the case, the Ultimate Style is your best choice. As long as you're willing, the martial arts course will definitely teach you everything we know!"
The monster controller tutor thought about it for a while. "Ms. Li, you're …"
"Do you think that we're being too generous?"
Li Yingzi's gaze moved through Shattered Starlake and Graveyard Forest, which was shrouded in black fog. Her gaze landed on Raging Waves, which had dark clouds rolling about and looked like a volcano erupting. "Before we went out, I talked to Dean Zong Yue through the night, and I learned that he had such astonishing ambitions.
"If the monster controller course was our only competitor, I might not have said what I said today.
"But Dean Zong said that Agricultural University's martial arts course only has one true opponent, and it's Dragon City University's martial arts course!
"The monster controller course isn't our competitor, and they're definitely not our enemy. Instead, we're allies who are working together to challenge Dragon City University's martial arts course. As long as the exchange of skills can help us become stronger together, we can share all the secret techniques and profound secrets we have.
"Of course, the prerequisite is that the monster controller course has the guts to challenge Dragon City University's martial arts course in an upright manner!"
The monster controller tutor's pupils shrank.
His breathing quickened, and he could not help but clench his fists.
Dragon City University's martial arts course lived up to its name as the strongest in Dragon City.
Regardless of which university's fighting course it was, all of them had Dragon City University's martial arts course as their target.
'Defeat Dragon City University's martial arts course!'
This was the common cry of countless universities, lecturers, and lecturers in the depths of their hearts.
Unfortunately, up to then, no one had managed to turn it into reality.
"Are you … really that confident in the Ultimate Style?" the monster controller tutor asked hesitantly.
"Which style would dare to say that they're confident in defeating Dragon City University's martial arts course?"
Li Yingzi smiled. "But what Meng Chao said just now is right. You won't suffer any losses if you practice it, and you won't be tricked if you practice it. Since the current Beast Soul Style and the monster controller fighting style can't win against the Overkill Style in Dragon City University's martial arts course, why don't we let the Ultimate Style try?
"Speaking of which, Meng Chao has only joined Agricultural University's martial arts course for around two months, but he's already mobilized so many resources and caused such a huge ruckus. I have a feeling that he was born for the Ultimate Style and came to challenge Dragon City University's martial arts course. Even if he can't win against the Overkill Style in an upright manner, he might …"
When Li Yingzi said this, she suddenly stopped talking. Her gaze turned gentle, and her smile turned a little strange.
"Perhaps his sneak attacks, traps, sneak attacks, and all sorts of other methods will make those arrogant and condescending Overkill Style martial artists break out in cold sweat!"
…
Under Meng Chao and Wu Wu's lead, the new superhumans adjusted their mentality and soon controlled the situation. Everyone's kill count increased steadily.
When Meng Chao saw that everyone had found the right rhythm, he intentionally slowed down and did not pursue killing speed.
Based on his previous efficiency, it would have been easy for him to complete the third segment of the Fight for the Ultimate Style, which was to kill one thousand normal monsters.
But Meng Chao believed that his evaluation would not be too high, and he could not guarantee that he would get the new skill, Beast Blood Combustion.
Hence, compared to speed, he paid more attention to perfection. As he danced against the Wolf Crocodiles, Ghost-arrow Pigs, and Hundred-eyed Toads, he continued honing his body movements, saber techniques, and precise control over every inch of his skin and muscle fiber.
In the beginning, when he killed the monsters, he left a finger-length wound.
Gradually, the fatal wound shrank. His saber glares were like embroidery needles. When he stabbed the monsters' hearts or necks lightly, not a single drop of blood would seep out, and the monsters would instantly die.
The strength he used and the openings he revealed were reduced to the minimum.
This was the perfect kill effect that Meng Chao pursued.
Soon, his kill count was surpassed by Wu Wu.
After fighting for an entire day, even Sun Ya, Xie Feng, Duan Lian, Jiang Rui, and the strongest students in the monster controller course had killed more monsters than him.
His kill count was ranked ninth among the fifty freshmen. It was a pretty good number, but it was not enough to blind people.
Only the veteran harvesters could understand just how terrifying he was after they personally dissected the monsters he had "stabbed to death" through the folds of their shells and the cracks in their bones.
Naturally, the students did not have that kind of judgment.
They thought that it was normal for him to be slower in the afternoon because he had used up all his stamina during the fight in the morning.
At the very least, he did not use any sinister or despicable methods. Instead, he used real martial arts to kill monsters head-on and won some of the students' trust and admiration.
Everyone's views toward the Ultimate Style also changed without them realizing it.
It changed from a petty trick used by thieves to something that seemed to be useful against normal monsters. They could treat it as an elective course and learn about it.
When the last Ghost-arrow Pig fell with a wail, the Long-legged Spiders scouted the lake three times, but they did not find any monsters that could pose a threat to humans.
The lecturers ordered the students to pile a large number of monster carcasses at the perimeter of the area and poured special chemicals on them so that the smell would spread far and wide to warn the other monsters that this was human territory and a forbidden zone for monsters!
Under normal circumstances, weaker monsters would not recklessly barge in.
In a few days, the Red Dragon Army's engineering team would be stationed there. They would set up signal towers, electric fences, and automatic fighting fortresses. If they did not find a large number of monsters for a week, the safety level of the area would rise from Yellow to Green.
At that time, the environmental modification engineers and agriculture specialists would enter the area to get rid of the annoying weeds and Water Monkeys. They would then turn the swamps and swamps into fertile land suitable for farming or animal husbandry.
They won their first battle, so they were naturally happy. The students carried the strongest monster carcasses they had chosen carefully and returned with great rewards.
At that moment, the hundreds of hunting teams that had been sent to various parts of Shattered Starlake also returned victorious. The huge tent at the east lake base became lively once more.
The fights during the day were a healthy competition between the universities.
When they returned to the base at night, the alliance of the five universities set up huge booths to trade their prey, exchange their skills, get to know friends of different specialties, summarize their experiences, and come up with a brand new fighting style in the midst of a storm of thoughts.
The alliance of the five universities were like birds of a feather. They treated Dragon City University as a target that they had to defeat, so the academic exchanges in Nine Sands University City were very close.
When they reached the depths of the wild, some people even called the east lake base the United University of the Frontlines.
There were quite a number of specialists and professors from the universities who held all sorts of lectures to broaden the horizons of the students from other universities.
There were also plenty of study groups, martial arts research clubs, and other private communication organizations among the students. They were all encouraged by the university.
Meng Chao used the monster coins he got from hunting during the day to easily apply for a tent to organize the Ultimate Style Exploration Group.
Chu Feixiong also brought good news. That night, he gathered around forty military school students who were willing to get to know the legendary Meng Chao, the man who was given a notice of criticism after being in school for around a month.
