Compared to the students who had never practiced the Ultimate Style, the members of the Ultimate Style study group had a 20% higher chance of surviving on the battlefield when they were at the same level of fighting strength.
Even if they were injured, they were rarely so badly injured that they lost their fighting ability or their lives were in danger.
Even if they were drenched in blood and looked incredibly terrifying, they could still jump around and crawl back to the base.
Everyone's hunting efficiency fell by a large margin. In the past, they could kill around fifty monsters a day, but now, they could only kill around twenty monsters a day. The decrease in the efficiency of the Ultimate Style fans was not obvious.
Based on what they said, they were like fish in water when they faced mutated monsters in a swamp filled with traps. They could do whatever they wanted and instantly understand the wonders of the Ultimate Style.
Many of the skills Meng Chao taught them, such as repeatedly jumping horizontally when they faced monsters, the slight trembling of their muscles when they attacked, or the instinctive sway of their heads when they launched fatal attacks, seemed like a laughable redundant action before the storm. Aside from wasting their stamina and time, they did not provide any benefits.
But after the storm, they became very necessary. They could use their peripheral vision to expand their field of vision so that they could be constantly prepared to dodge attacks from all directions. They could also use more complicated body movements to confuse the monsters, whose intelligence had increased by leaps and bounds, so that they could attack in even more tricky ways.
In other words, the Ultimate Style seemed to have been born for a brand new form of warfare. It had a natural counter to the new generation of monsters after they evolved and mutated.
When the transportation lines and information transmission channels were finally unobstructed, a large amount of battle data and the personal experiences of the soldiers at the frontlines were sent to Agricultural University's martial arts course.
Gu Jianbo was surprised and delighted.
Even the creator of the Ultimate Style did not expect that Meng Chao's arrival would bring such a dazzling light to the Ultimate Style.
Even though the northern offense suffered a setback, it provided a unique chance for the Ultimate Style to rise to power.
But the Blade Dancer was the Blade Dancer.
After ten years of exploration and countless experiments, his accumulation of theories was much richer than Meng Chao's.
He immediately combined the cases from the frontlines with the experimental data of the Ultimate Style and wrote a few very influential articles in one go.
The martial arts course's Dean Zong Yue also seized the fleeting tactical chance with his sharp senses, strong will, and all-embracing mind. He used his large network of connections as a Deity Realm superhuman to report the results of the Ultimate Style to the university and export them to the alliance of the five universities, the mega corporations created by the alumni of Agricultural University, the Red Dragon Army, and the Supernatural Tower.
For a period of time, the Ultimate Style was no longer a small skirmish on the internet. Instead, it entered the eyes of the powerful people everywhere and the peerless elites who had the right to control Dragon City's fate.
Of course, when they faced the brand new form of warfare, countless wild theories and theories floated to the surface, they came to the surface.
But the Ultimate Style was a martial arts concept that Meng Chao had practiced repeatedly in his previous life. It was the most suitable for a brand new form of warfare, so it soon stood out.
Quite a number of Agricultural University alumni who had become famous showed great interest in the Ultimate Style and were willing to invest in their alma mater to expand the Ultimate Style lab.
The other four universities in the alliance of the five universities also invited Gu Jianbo to give lectures and exchange ideas so that they could explore the compatibility between the Ultimate Style, other martial arts styles, and other fighting occupations.
Even the Red Dragon Army was prepared to set up a teaching squad made up of instructors to learn the essence of the Ultimate Style and use the military's own methods to verify it. If the effects were good, they might really have the chance to spread it out on a large scale among the millions of Red Dragon Army soldiers.
When Gu Jianbo told Meng Chao about the news with sparkling eyes, Meng Chao only smiled.
It was not that he was calmer than his tutor.
Instead, he knew that he had achieved initial success based on the contribution points that shot up in his field of vision.
He had completed half of the Fight for the Ultimate Style, and his contribution points had already surpassed the one hundred thousand mark.
He was a wounded and ugly butterfly who had just returned from the apocalypse. But now, he flapped his wings and stirred up a small storm.
The future had already been changed!
With Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo and Black Tortoise Zong Yue serving as garrison and continuously perfecting and promoting the Ultimate Style, Meng Chao was not worried.
Now that he had nothing to worry about, he could focus on killing monsters at the frontlines and provide more practical data for the Ultimate Style.
Unfortunately, Shattered Starlake had been shrouded in fog recently, and the spirit energy magnetic field interference was very strong. Not only had the network and tactical data been paralyzed, even the cameras, infrared detectors, tactical computers, and the other slightly more precise devices had started deforming slightly due to the interference from the energy layer at the atomic level, which led to mechanical malfunctions. They could no longer record the battle scenes.
Meng Chao could not record the entire process of him training and fighting day and night.
Due to some reason, he could not transport all the monster carcasses he killed back to the base.
His vision was not good in the fog, and he gradually entered the border between Shattered Starlake and Graveyard Forest. It was a dangerous region where superbeasts might appear. Gradually, the normal students were unable to keep up with his pace.
Aside from Wu Wu, Chu Feixiong, and a handful of other people, very few people could see just how strong Meng Chao was at that moment.
They only had a vague idea that Meng Chao, who practiced the Ultimate Style, was much stronger than a normal broken-star superhuman.
But no matter how strong he was, there was a limit. At most, he was at the same level as the Four Heavenly Kings of Agricultural University's martial arts course, Sun Ya, Xie Feng, Duan Lian, and Jiang Rui, right?
Even Sun Ya and the other three felt the same way.
Yes, they had to admit that Meng Chao had been improving very quickly recently. Practically every day, when they saw him, he changed. His gaze became sharper, and the killing intent around him became stronger. When they came into close contact with him, they felt as if they could not breathe.
But the number of monster carcasses Meng Chao brought back to exchange for monster coins every day was not much higher than theirs. And after they endured through the cruelest few days, they gradually got used to the brand new fighting style, and their strength and experience increased by leaps and bounds.
Besides, the Ultimate Style had a fatal flaw. It could only be used to kill normal monsters. It could not deal fatal damage to superbeasts!
This meant that Meng Chao was bound to only be able to move about in Shattered Starlake. It would be difficult for him to enter Graveyard Forest, which was filled with superbeasts, and join the higher-level fights.
In this regard, Sun Ya and the other three had a psychological advantage. After all, their target was Graveyard Forest!
Then, one day in early December.
After the storm, it was the first time they teamed up with Meng Chao to fight in a dangerous area near Graveyard Forest.
Before the storm, the danger level in this area was marked as Dark Yellow, which meant that there might be normal monster nests in this area. In fact, they could even rule out the possibility that normal monsters might mutate into superbeasts.
The storm had connected the lakes together and turned them all into swamps, which made the previous danger level assessment meaningless. This was especially so since this area was close to Graveyard Forest. There was a possibility that superbeasts in the forest might not be able to withstand the encirclement of Heaven Realm superbeasts and flee to this place.
Among the freshmen, only the Four Great Kings of the martial arts course who had improved at lightning speed after fighting for a few months and had a deep understanding toward the ingenuity of spirit tattoos dared to form a party and come here.
But Meng Chao had two Surging Lightnings at his waist. He walked in the swamp in front of them with light footsteps.
"The Ultimate Style is pretty good for harvesting small fries."
Sun Ya and the other three looked at his back and discussed softly. "In the future, when we go to Graveyard Forest to fight, we can actually bring Meng Chao along. Even if there are a lot of normal monsters in Graveyard Forest, with him around, we can save a lot of energy and focus on fighting superbeasts."
"That's right. Even though the Ultimate Style's attack power isn't high, it's nimble, and it's really good when it comes to dodging. Even if Meng Chao faces superbeasts, he might still be able to run away while crawling. If that's the case, he can actually pull the superbeasts' aggro and use the kiting strategy to attract the superbeasts' attention so that his teammates will have the chance to deliver a fatal blow," Xie Feng said.
"If we have such a weirdo in our squad, our efficiency in killing superbeasts will increase by a lot."
"Besides, he knows how to poison, set traps, surprise attacks, injury examination, and harvest!"
Duan Lian agreed. "With Meng Chao around, we won't need to bring an extra harvester in our hunting squad. If we have an extra person, we'll have an extra burden. The simpler the squad, the better."
"Agreed," Jiang Rui said.
Jiang Rui added, "Then today, we'll see whether Meng Chao is strong enough to go with us to Graveyard Forest!"
As they spoke, Meng Chao suddenly stood still.
Sun Ya and the other three also smelled an unusual stench in the air. They heard hissing sounds coming from the depths of the fog, and goosebumps rose on their skin.
In an instant, more than ten distorted figures appeared indistinctly in the tumbling fog.
Their murky eyeballs were long and thin vertical pupils. Their fangs were filled with rotting flesh, and their scales stood up like blades. They shone with a dark, cold glare, and they were more than ten meters long. They drew hideous arcs in the swamp, and they were one of the strongest normal monsters — Blade Shattering Pythons!
Compared to the Blade Shattering Pythons Meng Chao and the others ran into during the national college examination, these new wild species that had evolved and mutated were thicker. Their blade-like scales were denser and sharper, and they swam faster. The fierce glare in their eyes showed that they possessed great hunting intelligence. There were already around thirty of them who popped out of the fog!
"No, it's a horde of Blade Shattering Pythons!"
The expressions of Sun Ya and the other three changed.
Even though Blade Shattering Pythons were just normal monsters, there were so many of them that they were still very difficult to deal with.
Besides, when thirty Blade Shattering Pythons gathered together, there was no guarantee that a python king would not evolve into a Grade One superbeast known as the Great Blade Shattering Python!
"There are so many Blade Shattering Pythons. Meng Chao can't —"
The four of them had solemn expressions.
But before they could finish speaking, Meng Chao danced lightly and jumped into the mouths of the thirty Blade Shattering Pythons.
