Chapter 927 (1/2)

The major continued to rush directly toward the center of the cave as if she couldn't even see these bats. Tang Wulin waved his staff through the air, using it like a spear and vanquis.h.i.+ng at least one four-claws bat with every single strike. One staff projection after another flashed beside the major, and not even a single bat was able to reach within two meters of her.

The surprise in her eyes became even more p.r.o.nounced. She had seen many newbies undertaking this trial, and there were some exceptional snipers who could control the situation, as well as some who used all types of advanced soul weapons to resolve this predicament, but it was extremely rare to see someone protect her at such close range using nothing more than their own strength and battle experience.

There was naturally a reason behind her decision to oversee Tang Wulin's trial in person. After taking Tang Wulin to the lieutenant, she had pulled up the surveillance footage near the snowy mountains and witnessed the process through which Tang Wulin had reached their base.

Her first thought after seeing the footage was that he'd completed the journey far too quickly! He'd done so in less than a third of the time it had taken her to complete the same journey for the first time. In her eyes, this guy didn't even seem like a human being anymore. Without using any soul power, he was able to use his bare hands as ice picks and propellers, and the method that he'd employed to climb up that final mountain was truly astonis.h.i.+ng.

As such, her curiosity had led to her decision to oversee Tang Wulin's trial. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the general contents of the trial had to be introduced to the trial-taker in advance, but she had refrained from doing so. Furthermore, after reaching this point, she was supposed to travel quite slowly, but she had chosen to run through this area instead. She had intentionally raised the level of difficulty of this trial because she wanted to see just what this newbie was capable of.

As it turned out, Tang Wulin wasn't just a brute with nothing more than explosive power. The ramming force of these four-clawed bats could reach as high as 500 kilograms, and even four-ring Soul Masters with remarkably powerful physical const.i.tutions would have a hard time keeping them at bay. However, in the face of Tang Wulin, these bats were dropping like flies.

After the major reached the center of the cave, more than half of the four-clawed bats here had already been killed by Tang Wulin.

However, he also realized an issue; these four-claws bats didn't seem to have any sense of fear! So many of their brethren had already perished, but they were still flying toward Tang Wulin and the major in a bloodthirsty frenzy.

Even soul beasts wouldn't do something like this! Their attacks were extremely decisive, and Tang Wulin could only see ferocity in their eyes without any sense of fear or hesitation.

What kind of living beings were these? Had they been created by the Blood G.o.d Legion just for these trials?

While these thoughts were running through his mind, the vast majority of the bats in this cave had already been killed by him. With the large quant.i.ty of four-claws bats that had been slain and the dim light in the cave, Tang Wulin was able to catch sight of wisps of energy rising up from their bodies before gradually converging together, then drifting toward those holes.

Tang Wulin turned to the major. ”Is that it?”

A smile appeared on the major's face once again. ”Of course not!”

Right at this moment, a low snarl abruptly rang out, and a ma.s.sive bat suddenly flew out of one of the medium-sized caves.

This bat was more than twice as large as the previous ones, and it had six claws as opposed to four. It spread open its wings and abruptly let loose a sharp screech.

Tang Wulin's expression changed slightly at the sight of the ripples in the air being created by its screeching. Was this a soundwave attack?

He immediately released his spiritual power in response. He knew that this kind of soundwave attack couldn't be nullified just by blocking his ears. At the same time, he raised a hand and drew the major into his arms. He wound his left arm around her waist, and golden light erupted from his eyes.

Due to the fact that she's been caught in Tang Wulin's embrace, the major was oblivious to the golden light emanating from his eyes.

This was a solid and warm embrace, and after being pressed against Tang Wulin's body, the major instantly felt her heart rate begin to quicken. The antic.i.p.ated soundwave attack seemed to have been blocked by something and didn't strike her as she'd expected.
