Three days before the start of the semester. ↑
Under the setting sun, Li Yao stretched his muscles and bones as he sat on the pedestal of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, allowing the bloody setting sun to dye him and the Crystal Suit red. The shadows of the two merged into one, dragging out a long shadow, like a black saber.
Without knowing when, Li Yao had developed a habit. No matter how busy he was every day, at dusk, he would take half an hour to sit under the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and meditate for a while.
This was because there was one time when he was too tired and occasionally leaned on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit to rest for a few minutes. Suddenly, he felt that his mind was particularly open and his thoughts were particularly clear. Many theories and blueprints that he couldn't understand in the past were suddenly clear.
This feeling was somewhat similar to entering the super perceptive state, but it didn't have the side effects of the super perceptive state and could be maintained for a long time.
It was as if there was someone in the unseen world who was thinking and solving problems together with him.
Li Yao was puzzled. After thinking for several days, he still couldn't figure out the reason. He could only think of it as the senior brothers and teachers of the Refining Department blessing him in the unseen world, hoping that he could smoothly obtain 40,000 credits and pass the Refiner Registration Examination, bringing the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department to glory.
From that day onwards, he had developed this habit.
The half an hour spent with the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had become a rare moment of relaxation in his day.
It was as if all the senior brothers and teachers of the Refining Department were hibernating in the depths of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, cheering for him so that he could grit his teeth and persevere in his crazy cultivation that surpassed his limits!
With his current strength, if he wanted to refine a magical equipment that was completely created by himself from scratch, the will was willing, but the strength was insufficient.
However, relying on his solid foundation, the powerful forging techniques from 40,000 years ago, and the unconstrained "Magical Modification" style, Li Yao had crazily strengthened dozens of classic magical equipment. Many of the magical equipment's performance had greatly exceeded their original form, and had even become two completely different things.
Until today. He had already completed 18 main magical equipment and dozens of auxiliary magical equipment, displaying his skills to the fullest.
However, whether or not his idea of modification would work, and whether or not the magical equipment would be as powerful on the battlefield as he had imagined. Would they be welcomed by the students and be exchanged for a large number of credits...
All of this would have to wait until the new semester began, and the answer would be found in actual combat!
"I've decided. When the new semester begins, I'll bring all my magical equipment to the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau to hunt demon beasts. On one hand, I'll use actual combat to test the magical equipment that I've 'magically modified' and further fine-tune the details. On the other hand, I'll be able to film actual combat videos. Put it on the Wasteland Battle Network as a living advertisement! "
More importantly, Li Yao also wanted to hone his combat skills.
In Floating Spear City, Fiend Blade Peng Hai had once told him that in order to become an outstanding refiner, it was best to first become an outstanding warrior.
At the time, he did not take these words to heart.
But when he really started refining, even if it was just a small modification, Li Yao immediately realized that this sentence had a certain degree of truth.
If he didn't know how to wield a sword and use a gun. How would he know how to refine an excellent saber?
Only through actual combat could he have a deep understanding of the characteristics of each magical equipment. Only then would he be able to comprehend the essence of refining techniques and become a first-class refining master.
Thinking of this, Li Yao turned his head and deeply gazed at the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. An indescribable sense of disappointment and frustration emerged from the bottom of his heart.
One day, he would successfully refine the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. He would let this majestic skeletal war god soar to the ninth heaven and roar like thunder!
But on that day, who would wear the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and laugh proudly at the heavens and earth?
The corner of Li Yao's eyes twitched. In the depths of his pupils, the image of himself wearing the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit suddenly appeared. An all-powerful appearance.
Once this image appeared, it could no longer be erased. It pierced deeply into his heart, as if it had grown a barb that could not be pulled out no matter how hard he tried.
"If one day, I can wear the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and break through the ninth heaven, riding the wind and breaking the waves in the sea of stars, that would be awesome!"
Li Yao let his imagination run wild and laughed foolishly.
At this time, from all directions of Wild Waves City, a loud and clear horn suddenly sounded.
It was as if countless giants stood up from every corner of the city, fiercely pounding their chests and letting out roars that resounded through the heavens and earth.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Li Yao's pupils suddenly shrank. He jumped up and looked around with some surprise.
Although he could not see half a person, along with the sound of the horn, the entire Wild Waves City underwent a strange change.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and metal. It was as if the cold winter had yet to pass, but the hot summer had arrived in an instant!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
Dozens of colorful streams of light slowly rose from all directions. They intertwined together and shot toward the northeast like lightning.
Those were dozens of experts who were at least at the Building Foundation Stage!
Li Yao's wrist crystal processor crazily vibrated. The Wasteland Battle Network issued a notification that there was a very important sudden news.
This was an unprecedented event. Li Yao promptly activated the crystal processor.
A message with a hint of blood-red in it popped out. It was an urgent temporary mission.
"Emergency military report!"
"Verdant Tarn City, 478 kilometers away from Wild Waves City, has encountered a beast tide of Level 8 or above. The beast tide has already broken through the outer defense line and rushed into the city!"
"There are still a large number of civilians in Verdant Tarn City who are defending their strongholds and waiting for reinforcements. The entire city has fallen into a mixed situation of humans and demon beasts. It is impossible to use super heavy magical equipment to destroy the beast tide."
"We can only mobilize a large number of the Union Army and cultivators to enter the city and start a street by street fight!"
"The Union Army has officially requested assistance from all the sects and schools around Verdant Tarn City, requesting cultivators to enter the battlefield!"
"Our school is a local school rooted in the Wasteland. In the face of a crisis in our neighborhood, we are duty-bound!"
"Now issuing a temporary mission — Fierce Battle of Verdant Tarn City!"
"Students with a total of 8000 credits or more can sign up!"
"If you are interested, please sign up on the battle network and gather at Field No. 2 within an hour. Late arrivals will not be accepted!"
"I repeat, this mission is extremely dangerous. It is very likely that it will result in severe disability or even death. If you are not confident in your own strength, do not sign up!"
"Due to the urgency of the battle, the number and species of demon beasts are unknown. The credit reward for this mission is still in the process of being calculated. The school promises that we will reward the participating students according to the highest standards!"
"Cultivators are the sabers of human civilization. Now is the time to unsheathe the sabers. In an hour, at Field No. 2, we will set off to slay demons and eliminate devils!"
"Slay demons and eliminate devils!"
The last four words made Li Yao's mouth dry and his blood boil.
When the beast tide broke out last time, he was just an ordinary person. He still had to rely on Ding Yin, Wei Qingqing, the red-eyed officer … these cultivators to protect him.
But today, he had already become a 5th level Refinement Stage cultivator. He had also refined dozens of godly weapons that could cut through iron like mud.
It was time for him to fight against a thousand and kill in all directions!
"Great! In the ancient cultivation world of 40,000 years ago, when a godly weapon came out of the furnace, it was necessary to kill a few demons and ghosts to offer sacrifices to the blade!"
"Verdant Tarn City, beast tide, I will use you to refine my first batch of magical equipment!"
...
Field No. 2 of the Grand Desolate War Institution.
A "Thunderbird" -class light transport ship was docked at a corner of the field.
This was a transport ship specially designed for rapid response. It could carry more than 800 passengers at a time. It could also carry ten medium-sized crystal tanks, which were specially refined to deal with beast tides.
Generally, if cultivators below the Building Foundation Stage wanted to enter a battlefield that was fraught with danger, besides riding a crystal train, they would ride this type of transport ship.
Riding a flying sword was tantamount to throwing away one's life. In minutes, the demon beasts lurking in the dark would shoot out demonic energy and venom, instantly killing them!
Below the Thunderbird transport ship, the Grand Desolate War Institution's headmaster, Xiong Baili, as well as the management, were all assembled.
Many of the faculty members were fully armed and equipped with battle armor, ready to enter the battle.
Xiong Baili's face was solemn. His eyebrows were tightly knitted as he asked a young officer with the rank of major:
"A Chao, how did this happen? Verdant Tarn City is an important mining town. There are dozens of military camps around it and three intersecting lines of defense. It can be said to be impregnable. How did it suddenly collapse from the beast tide? Originally, a few shots from the crystal warships would have been enough to solve the problem. How did it get to the point of having to fight in the streets? "
The major's name was Xiong Zongchao. Not only was he a graduate of the Grand Desolate War Institution, he was also a distant relative of Xiong Baili. He was Xiong Baili's nephew.
Therefore, Xiong Baili straightforwardly asked.
Xiong Zongchao smiled bitterly:
"Fourth Uncle, the outer line of defense of Verdant Tarn City has not been breached. This time, the wormhole just happened to appear inside the city. The beast tide directly rushed into the city and launched a street battle. What can a Golden Immortal do?"
Xiong Baili was surprised:
"So unlucky?"
For a long time, the Xing Yao Federation had been implementing the fortress tactic of pressing forward step by step in the Demon Beast Wasteland. Every city was built into an impregnable fortress. Inch by inch, they nibbled away at the wasteland and compressed the living space of the demon beasts.
The demon beasts could only break through the wormhole from the Blood Demon Realm to the Tian Yuan Realm and launch a surprise attack.
The location of the wormhole was random. If the wormhole appeared in the wilderness, the beast tide could only bite through the outer line of defense of the city.
At the very least, it would take three to five hours. At the very most, it would take a day and a half to bite through.
The human crystal warships could calmly fly above the beast tide. Primeval True Cannons, Taiyi Lightning Railguns, Shatterstar Cannons … all kinds of powerful and unparalleled super heavy magical equipment would open fire and bombard the beast tide indiscriminately. No matter how arrogant the beast tide was, it would become a roast duck!
But this time, they were unlucky. The wormhole directly appeared inside the city. The beast tide suddenly rushed into the city and mixed with the humans.
No matter how powerful the crystal warships were, they could not blast the entire Verdant Tarn City into the sky, right?
Therefore, they could only use the Union Army and cultivators to launch a street battle!
Xiong Baili coldly snorted. His eyes became incomparably sharp:
