Before Xiong Baili's voice fell, a fiery red stream of light whizzed over. ⑧
"Brother Chao, long time no see!"
Xiong Zongchao's complexion changed. His figure flashed nine times in a row like a ghost. His real body retreated more than ten meters in one breath, but his afterimage was torn to shreds by the fiery red stream of light.
Xiong Baili calmly stood between the fiery red stream of light and Xiong Zongchao as he introduced, "This is..."
Xiong Zongchao smiled:
"There is no need to introduce her. She is one of the youngest Building Foundation Stage cultivators in our Xing Yao Federation, the future star of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Combat Department, Ding Ling Dong. I have met her several times in the depths of the Wasteland. We even joined hands to kill a Demon General!"
The fiery red stream of light solidified, revealing Ding Ling Dong's healthy and beautiful figure.
She wore a tight red combat suit decorated with flame patterns, outlining her soul-stirring curves. Her entire body was overflowing with radiance and color, making her incomparably flamboyant.
"Great! After being cooped up in the school for several months, my bones are about to rot. Finally, I can kill demon beasts to my heart's content. I really can't wait!"
Ding Ling Dong rubbed her fists and jumped up and down, eager to fight.
A moment later, several hundred astonishing auras approached at high speed.
Xiong Baili smiled and said:
"This is the President of the Iron Fist Club, Hua Tianxiong. This is the Hall Master of the Chaos Edge Hall, Xu Ge. Behind them are the senior students of the Combat Department. Have you met many of them?"
Xiong Zongchao nodded.
The Grand Desolate War Institution had a close relationship with the military. Both sides often joined hands to slay demons and devils. Xiong Zongchao was the liaison officer sent by the military. He had long known many of the senior students of the Grand Desolate War Institution and was friends with them.
"Brother Chao!"
"Brother Chao!"
One after another, burly students with arrogant faces came forward to greet him. All of them were eager to give it a try. "Finally, I can fight side by side with Brother Chao and slay demon beasts!"
Soon, more than a dozen figures appeared. Although their faces were somewhat immature, their imposing manner did not lose out to the senior students.
These were the best among the freshmen.
Seeing so many freshmen also participating in the mission, the smile in Xiong Baili's eyes became even more intense:
"Come, A Chao, let me introduce you. This is Zhao Tianchong. This is Lu Tieshan, a 4th level Qi Refinement sword cultivator. He hunted demon beasts in the depths of the Wasteland since he was young. This is Lu Tieshan, a 4th level Qi Refinement body cultivator. He bitterly cultivated in the Devil Fist Sect since he was young. The two of them are the strongest among the freshmen! "
Xiong Zongchao was shocked.
"He's only been in the university for half a year, and he's already in the 4th level of the Refinement Stage? Rookies these days really can't be underestimated! I remember that in my batch, it wasn't until the second year that someone reached the fourth level of the Refinement Stage! "
Xiong Baili smiled.
"Yeah, the quality of this year's batch of freshmen is especially good. Not only are there two 4th level Refinement Stage cultivators, there are also more than a dozen 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivators. Not only are they exceptionally talented, they are also crazy when it comes to cultivation. They don't even go home during the winter holidays! "
"Greetings, Principal!"
"Greetings, Principal!"
Zhao Tianchong, Lu Tieshan and the other freshmen saluted Xiong Baili together.
They were all members of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion and had gathered together to cultivate. When they heard the news of the beast tide breaking out in Verdant Tarn City, they didn't hesitate for a moment. All of them had rushed over.
After half a year of bitter cultivation, these "Hidden Dragons" were completely different from when they had just entered the university. Their arrogance had been completely restrained in the depths of their eyes, which had been refined into a cold and sparkling brilliance. Their temperament had become even more calm and steady.
Especially Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan, both of them revealed a depth that didn't match their age.
Only the sparks that blossomed from time to time in their eyes allowed people to peek into the depths of their hearts.
They deeply desired it. They wanted to be able to completely blossom their radiance on the real battlefield!
Xiong Zongchao swept his gaze and sighed again and again.
"In the end, our Grand Desolate War Institution is different. Obviously, it's still the winter holidays. Yet, we were able to gather 300 students. Moreover, all of them are cultivators. When such a strong army arrives on the battlefield, even a Demon General wouldn't dare to confront them head-on! "
Xiong Baili smiled before he frowned again.
"That's not right. I remember that 301 students signed up. There's still one student who hasn't arrived yet."
Before his voice faded away, a silhouette approached from afar. In just a few leaps, it had already swallowed a distance of several hundred meters.
Xiong Zongchao was somewhat puzzled.
"This student looks very unfamiliar. Is he also a freshman? Why is he carrying such a big box? "
The last student to appear was wearing a black combat suit. He was carrying a huge metal box which was tied to his body with three wide belts. Every step he took was very heavy, causing the ground to produce "Bang Bang Bang" sounds.
The box appeared to be very heavy. Perhaps it weighed a thousand pounds.
However, this student lifted it as if it were a light weight. He handled it with ease and without the slightest care. In a breath's time, he had already arrived in front of the Thunderbird transport ship.
Xiong Baili burst into laughter:
"Student Li Yao, you are a refiner. You also want to go to the battlefield? That's too dangerous! "
Xiong Baili had a very good impression of Li Yao.
Whether it was him going against the current and sticking to the Refining Department, or later modifying the 1st Generation Tai 'e crafting furnace and pulling in tens of millions of dollars in sponsorship, all of these matters had made Xiong Baili endlessly surprised. He had also deeply remembered this somewhat special teenager.
Xiong Zongchao's eyes blossomed with a trace of splendor as he involuntarily said:
"Is this the only student of the Refining Department? His strength is really great! "
Xiong Zongchao had been in the army for many years. As a special forces soldier, his eyesight was very sharp. From the sound of Li Yao's footsteps, he could tell that the metal box he was carrying was at least a ton!
Carrying a ton of weight and running for several miles, yet his breathing was still steady and his expression did not change.
This student's physical fitness must be extremely strong.
In the beginning, Xiong Zongchao had thought that he was a senior student of the Combat Department. He was secretly surprised in his heart. How come he had never seen such a strong person before?
He had never thought that Li Yao was actually a freshman of the Refining Department!
Xiong Zongchao was really shocked to the extreme.
Li Yao grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth:
"Principal, I still have to save up 40,000 credits to participate in the Refiners' Registration Examination. How can I easily miss such a good opportunity to sweep up credits?"
"Good!"
Xiong Baili waved his big hand. His eyes flashed with lightning as they swept past the students one by one. He said in a loud voice, "Everyone is here. I will repeat it again. This mission is extremely dangerous. It is very likely that you will be seriously injured or even lose your life. If there is even a trace of hesitation in your heart, it is best to withdraw now!"
301 students stood upright with their heads held high. Not a single word was uttered. Everyone's face was flushed red. An invisible fighting spirit was crazily burning.
Three seconds later, Xiong Baili looked up to the sky and roared, "Good, good, good. To have students like you is my greatest pride. This is the greatest pride of my, Xiong Baili's, life. Let's go and slaughter those demonic beasts! "
"Slaughter the demon beasts!"
Hundreds of teachers and students roared loudly. Their blood was boiling as they boarded the Thunderbird-class transport ship.
A moment later, the transport ship soared into the sky and whizzed towards Verdant Tarn City!
On the transport ship, Xiong Zongchao activated the large mainframe crystal processor and injected hundreds of telepathic thoughts into the mini crystal processors of the Grand Desolate War Institution's teachers and students.
Including the three-dimensional map of Verdant Tarn City. The distribution of the Union Army in the surrounding area as well as the ever-increasing list of friendly forces.
After learning that a beast tide had broken out in Verdant Tarn City, all the sects within a radius of a thousand miles were mobilized.
Every second, countless powerhouses were rushing towards Verdant Tarn City.
As the vanguard entered the city and began to fight, they had a general understanding of the number and species of demon beasts.
All this information was transmitted to the mainframe crystal processor of the Thunderbird-class transport ship. Then, it was distributed to everyone's mini crystal processors.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! "Everyone was concentrating on checking the crystal processors. The hologram was overflowing with light and color. Countless streams of information fell down like a torrential downpour.
Everyone was a cultivator. The speed at which they read the information was very fast. Soon, they grasped the general situation.
Xiong Zongchao introduced:
"At present, it seems that the scale of this beast tide is at least Level 7. The wormhole very coincidentally appeared in an abandoned underground warehouse in Verdant Tarn City. Therefore, it was not discovered at first. It was only when tens of thousands of demon beasts followed the crisscrossing sewers and covered the entire city and rushed out of the ground at the same time that it was discovered. But it was already too late! "
"Fortunately, in order to guard against beast tides, all the cities and towns in the Wasteland follow the principle of fortification and fortress. All the large buildings can be completely sealed. Defensive array glyphs are set up outside. Many places are also stocked with large amounts of military magical equipment."
"Moreover, Verdant Tarn City is an important mining town. Many sects have mining bases in Verdant Tarn City. A large number of mine guards are stationed there. All of them are retired soldiers. There are also cultivators holding the fort."
"And the native sect of Verdant Tarn City, the 'Azure Sun Sect', is ranked 379th in the Federation's Top 500. It has more than ten Building Foundation Stage experts."
"Under their resistance, most of the civilians have hidden in the fortress. Especially the headquarters of the Azure Sun Sect. At present, more than 10,000 civilians have gathered there. Please look at the 3D map. Here, here, and here. A large number of civilians are staying there."
"We have two missions. The first is to rescue all the civilians. The second is to kill all the demon beasts in Verdant Tarn City. Kill every single one of them. Leave no one alive!"
"Please look at the information list of demon beasts. According to the frontline reports, this is a mixed beast tide. At present, 43 types of Demon Soldiers and 5 types of Demon Generals are known. There is no Demon King yet."
"But according to experience, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that there is a Demon King behind such a large-scale beast tide!"
Along with Xiong Zongchao's introduction, a translucent 3D image appeared on everyone's hologram. It was a picture of dozens of demon beasts, along with the demon beasts' habits, level, danger rating, what kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were hidden in their bodies... hundreds of information.
Li Yao's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect that the level of this beast tide outbreak would be so high. Maybe even a Demon King would appear.
According to their strength, demon beasts were divided into Demon Soldiers, Demon Generals, Demon Kings, Demon Emperors, Demon Gods, and so on. They respectively corresponded to the Refinement, Foundation, Core Formation, Yuanying, and Deity Transformation stages of cultivators.
The Three-eyed Ape that Li Yao beheaded on Devil Flood Dragon Island was even weaker than a Demon Soldier. It was the lowest level and was equivalent to an ordinary person.
Whether it was a Demon God or a Deity Transformation expert, they were all legendary existences. It had been a long time since a Demon God had appeared in the Xing Yao Federation.
Even a Demon Emperor comparable to a Yuanying Old Monster was very rare. Once it appeared, it would absolutely be a big scene where millions of Demon Soldiers were assembled. Half of the Federation would have to enter a general war mobilization in order to contend against it.
From the beginning of Demon Soldiers, demon beasts gradually got rid of the shackles of beasts. They possessed extremely high intelligence and could be called the "Demon Race".
Li Yao was indescribably excited at the thought of being able to contend with a real Demon Race this time!

Celebrating Li Yao's first battle after becoming a cultivator, today is the third watch!
