Time flew by quickly in the midst of the bloody slaughter.
There were too many demon beasts. Although there weren't many Demon Soldiers like the Gold Armored Saber Mantis and the Armored Snapping Turtle, there were still hundreds of unranked demon beasts. Their destructive power was still very terrifying.
Everyone would often open their eyes early in the morning and ride the military's crystal tanks into the city to search for small beast tides and launch high-intensity battles.
Until the sun set, they would once again ride the crystal tanks back to the heavily guarded temporary camp set up in the suburbs to recuperate.
In one day, everyone had to kill dozens of demon beasts.
Ruthless people like Li Yao, Zhao Tianchong, and Lu Tieshan had to kill hundreds of unranked demon beasts, a few low-level Demon Soldiers, and one or two middle-level Demon Soldiers.
After more than a week of high-intensity combat, everyone had gotten rid of the immaturity of having just entered the campus.
Li Yao and the others had a faint baleful aura lingering around them, as if they were veterans who had gone through hundreds of battles. Their realm didn't have a substantial increase, but their fighting strength was crazily rising with every second of fighting.
Li Yao, Zhao Tianchong, and Lu Tieshan were the best among the freshmen. They gradually figured out an effective team coordination tactic.
Every time they encountered a demon beast with extremely high defense, Li Yao would first use heavy firepower to suppress it, while Zhao Tianchong would rely on his ghost-like agility to wander around. Lu Tieshan's Devil Fists were quite fierce, acting as a frontal attack.
And when Li Yao completed the task of suppressing the enemy with firepower, he could also rely on the Heavy Vibrosaber to launch a powerful attack from the flank.
Under this "Iron Triangle" attack, the vast majority of middle-level Demon Soldiers could be easily killed. The bonus of "leapfrogging" caused the credits of the three to soar.
At night. If there was an opportunity to ride the crystal tanks back to the camp, there would be an even more arduous task waiting for Li Yao.
He would slowly replay the battle videos he had taken during the day, ponder over the inadequacies of the battle, and then use his super computing ability to improve.
Li Yao still didn't know any profound saber techniques, so he pondered for a long time. No matter what saber technique it was, as long as he could calculate the shortest and most direct trajectory, the saber technique that could cut the demon beast's body the fastest was the most suitable saber technique for him.
"When you strike with your saber, your shoulders can be tilted 75 degrees outward. At the same time, he slightly raised his wrist by 13 degrees, so that the distance of the blade cutting into the Armored Snapping Turtle's neck would be shorter, and the speed would be faster, and the time would be shortened by 0: 13 seconds. Yes. We'll do the same next time! "
Watching the battle videos, Li Yao analyzed and calculated anxiously. He even drew movement trajectories and body structures on the light beam and listed dozens of dazzling equations.
Those who didn't know would think that he was solving some profound and complicated math problem at first glance.
After completing the battle analysis, if there was still time, Li Yao would borrow some simple maintenance magical equipment from the camp to help his classmates repair their weapons.
In the midst of an intense battle. Every sword and saber had to cut through hundreds of bones of demonic beasts every day. Even if they didn't turn into scrap metal, the saber edge would crack, the array glyphs would corrode, and the structure would be fragile … all these problems would definitely exist. It had to be repaired before it could be used again.
Li Yao did not cultivate all kinds of weapons. He only cultivated a saber-type magical equipment with a sharp edge.
It wasn't until he experienced a lot of actual combat that he realized how ridiculous he was during the winter vacation.
Any kind of weapon had hundreds and thousands of performance parameters and usage methods. If one were to delve into it, they might not be able to master it even after a year and a half.
But during the winter vacation, he had actually modified 18 kinds of weapons in one go. He was also immensely proud of himself, thinking how great he was.
But now, it seemed. The magical equipment he modified at that time had too many flashy and impractical functions. A lot of his strength was used in the wrong places. The fact that his classmates were willing to buy them at 30 to 40 percent higher price than the original version was really too cheap for him.
Thankfully, Li Yao discovered the problem in time and completely dispelled his unrealistic fantasies. He considered himself to be a common refiner at the fifth level of the Refinement Stage and prepared to study the features of saber-type magical equipment in a down-to-earth manner so that he could become a saber specialist!
He helped his classmates repair their bladed sabers and only charged a very low price. Earning credits was secondary; the most important thing was to study these tattered bladed sabers and reverse engineer the cause of their damage, thus gaining a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the bladed sabers.
As far as Li Yao was concerned, these broken bladed sabers were like corpses, and what he was doing was dissecting the corpses.
Once he finished dissecting hundreds and thousands of bladed corpses, he would absolutely have a clear understanding of the structure and characteristics of bladed magic weapons.
Just like this, during the day, he, Zhao Tianchong, and Lu Tieshan formed an iron triangle and continuously advanced into the depths of the city, killing until their blood flowed like a river and they were completely exhausted.
At night, he studied the combat videos over and over again to improve his straightforward saber skills, making his saber skills more straightforward.
Late at night, when everyone else was sleeping with exhaustion, he was disassembling and repairing various kinds of tattered bladed sabers with scarlet eyes.
Vibroblade, Flaming Saber, Chainblade, Long Saber, Short Saber, Dagger... dozens of commonly seen bladed magic weapons on the market had all been disassembled hundreds of times by him. Later, his body had formed an instinctive reaction. Even if he closed his eyes and was half asleep, he could still complete the disassembly and repair.
Until now, he was very cautious as he began the second modification of the heavy vibroblade he was using.
This time, he didn't pile up all kinds of advanced materials and complex array glyphs like he did during the winter vacation.
Li Yao had a completely new understanding of the original magical equipment's design. He knew that these basic magical equipment had been repeatedly refined and polished by master refiners. Many of the modifications that seemed to improve the performance were actually self-defeating and superfluous.
He only made the front end of the bladed saber wider and thicker, increased the weight, and leaned the center of gravity forward according to his own characteristics.
At the same time, he used the manual forging and tempering techniques of the Hundred Smelting Clan from forty thousand years ago to change the smooth blade into a slightly serrated shape, increasing the destructive power during cutting.
The length of the entire bladed saber was also stretched by 177 centimeters.
After the modification was completed, the overall weight was increased by 1255%, which was even more suitable for his astonishing strength.
Under the high-speed slash, the serrated blade would issue a "wuuuu" sound, as if even the wind was caught up by the bladed saber and slashed to death, letting out a blood-curdling scream.
Therefore, Li Yao named this brand new super heavy vibroblade — Wind Slayer!
With Wind Slayer in hand, Li Yao's killing intent became even more intense. Since he was unable to rely on refining magical equipment to complete 30,000 points, then he had to further increase the efficiency of killing demon beasts.
Unfortunately, as the battle progressed, the number of demon beasts on the ground became fewer and fewer. The suburbs were repeatedly searched and completely cleared. Only an extremely small number of demon beasts were still hibernating in the high-rise city district, stubbornly resisting between the dilapidated walls.
These demon beasts didn't dare to flee back underground because an even more intense contest was unfolding underground.
That was a battlefield for Building Foundation Stage cultivators and Demon Generals. It was even an arena for Core Formation Stage cultivators and Demon Kings. It was not something they could easily step into.
The large-scale street battle had already ended. All the civilians had been rescued. The war had come to an end.
Those that survived until now and were still stubbornly resisting in the city center were absolutely the fiercest, most cunning, and most terrifying existences among the demon soldiers.
Weak cultivators rashly entering the city center would only become a delicious meal for the demon beasts.
Therefore, the majority of the low level cultivators returned home.
Next, the experts among the humans and demon beasts would launch small-scale contests of search and hibernation, hunting and counter-hunting.
For the cornered demon beasts, this would be their final frenzy!
27 days after the beast tide outbreak, 5 AM in the morning.
Li Yao used the morning light to concentrate on wiping Wind Slayer when he suddenly heard someone talking outside the camp.
Most of the lower grade students had returned to school, but the upper grade students were not in the same camp as them. Ding Lingdang and the other teachers above the Foundation Establishment stage had all gone deep into the ground to hunt high-level demonic beasts. The camp was empty, and the sound was very clear.
He heard Zhao Tianchong say with some surprise:
"Team up?"
"Ma Jiao, you are a Gun Cultivator who is proficient in Gun Kungfu. Among the freshmen of the Federation's First Military Academy, you can be considered as one of the top experts. Your rallying power is very strong. You can't even gather a few team members?"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and lifted the curtain to take a look. Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan were talking to three youths wearing gray city camouflage uniforms.
The three youths were two males and one female. All of them were around 20 years old. Their eyes were bright and full of expression, just like six searchlights.
Along with the movement of their bodies, the patterns on their camouflage uniforms also changed. Unexpectedly, they had a little bit of invisibility effect.
In addition, the three of them carried a large number of firearms.
The youth named Ma Jiao had a medium build and carried an assault rifle on his back. The other male student was tall and hairy and carried a heavy machine gun on his back. The last one was a ponytailed girl with a face full of freckles. She had two pistols on her waist and was also carrying a rectangular box. It was unknown what kind of weapon it contained.
During the beast tide outbreak, the teachers and students of the Nine Elite Universities had come to participate in the battle. The largest scale was the Grand Desolate War Institution and the Federation's First Military Academy.
The Grand Desolate War Institution was relatively close to Verdant Tarn City and also had the Combat Department, a traditional combat major.
On the other hand, the Federation's First Military Academy was a university that specialized in cultivating cultivators for the military. When a war broke out, it was naturally duty-bound.
Ma Jiao nodded. His speech was as fast and urgent as a bullet:
"Zhao Tianchong, we are old rivals. We are well aware of each other's strength. I will not speak nonsense!"
"Not only does your Grand Desolate War Institution have a credit system where you can obtain credits by completing missions, but in our Federation's First Military Academy, the more military service you accumulate, the greater the benefits you obtain."
"But now, there are only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals left in the periphery of the city. How many benefits can we obtain by killing a few hundred inferior demon beasts every day?"
"Therefore, I want to take advantage of the beast tide outbreak before it ends and go deep into the city center to do something big!"
