Chapter 1691: Hu Feng
On the battlefield, the Dragonblood warriors and the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples were constantly killing devil creatures. As the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples learned how to cooperate, they did form a kind of life and death trust. They started to unleash the real power that experts on their level should possess.
In truth, these disciples were all extremely talented. The Xuantian Dao Sect’s requirement criteria for the new disciple were very stringent. Someone who wasn’t a genius wasn’t even qualified to join.
It was just that many of those people were greenhouse flowers who would die from a winter’s breeze. Those who had been unable to adapt had already died, while those still persevering were now true warriors.
If you were to say that they could only use half their power when they first came and were suppressed by their fear, then now they were using a hundred and twenty percent of their power.
That was due to their cooperation. Each person protected each other, each person fought for others to recover, each person created opportunities for the others. They were in complete control now.
No matter how large a person’s lung capacity was, they wouldn’t be able to last forever underwater. However, if there were people switching off with them and each person had time to breathe, then they would be able to last forever. In this kind of huge battle where they had no idea when things would end, winning breathing room for each other was enough to decide whether they would live or die.
From rookies who didn’t even know how to fight, they had transformed into true warriors in just a month. The cruelty of the battlefield meant that you either adapted or died. There was no third path.
“Seeing them, I’m reminded of the Dragonblood Legion’s early stages. Perhaps they will also become amazing warriors.” Meng Qi stood by Long Chen’s side, looking at the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples that were fighting intensely.
“Yes. In truth, they’re already not bad. It’s just that they were misguided by a bunch of idiots. I trust that after this battle, they’ll have an even deeper understanding of life. Then they can truly grow.” Long Chen nodded.
The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples were fighting more and more fiercely, but instead of growing weary, they only became more refreshed.
As for the Dragonblood warriors, they were the cornerstone of this battle. They controlled the tempo. Once they pushed back the devil creatures to the front lines, Long Chen ordered them to simply hold there. He had to give these disciples the maximum possible time to adapt. Once the real battle descended, they had to have grown even stronger. That was the only way to minimize the casualties.
Without the first month of training, if they had encountered a battle on this level, then other than the Empyreans, the rest of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples would have all died. Long Chen was doing his best to give them time to grow.
The most excited person on the battlefield was Guo Ran. The runes around his b.u.t.t activated, and he shot back and forth like a bolt of golden lightning. He was like a hardworking farmer cutting through the weeds. Wherever Guo Ran went, the devil beasts collapsed.
Guo Ran had been more than prepared this time. He had piles of resources that he could use to kill the devil creatures.
“It feels amazing to have money!”
Guo Ran laughed grandly. That arrogant appearance of his made others want to give him a beating so that he would fall from the sky.
Long Chen couldn’t help sighing emotionally. That golden armor of Guo Ran’s was also a money-burning toy. Of the money that Long Chen had gathered during this time, at least two to three hundred spirit crystals had been used on it. However, Guo Ran’s ability at transforming money into combat power was marvelous. In this cultivation world, money would always rank first.
Innately, Guo Ran didn’t have any talent. However, relying on his head, he made many bizarre inventions. With Long Chen’s wealth added into the mix, he was soaring forcibly. This time, Guo Ran had decided to fully reveal his amazing skill.
“What’s Guo Ran’s rank?” asked Long Chen.
“He’s already seventh. His speed’s not bad,” praised Tang Wan-er.
On the edge of the battlefield, Liu Ruyan was still killing devil creatures, neither slowly nor quickly. After they died, their flesh was absorbed by Liu Ruyan’s roots. Faint black mist had appeared around her giant body.
Liu Ruyan had said that their flesh was useful to her. She wasn’t fighting for ranking, but for that flesh.
Her roots were spread throughout the battlefield. No matter who killed the devil beast, their flesh would be absorbed by her. Her aura was growing increasingly frightening.
Chu Yao told Long Chen that this was one of the Undying Willow race’s divine abilities. They could kill experts to strengthen themselves. That made the Undying Willow race very warlike, however, they were worthy of trust, so there was no need to worry.
Liu Ruyan had left the core of the battlefield to them now. She was killing devil creatures in the corner, causing Chu Yao’s ranking to fall to 549. It could be seen how intense the fighting was now that the various experts had stepped in.
Guo Ran danced through the battlefield like he was playing. But his efficiency was shocking. He was like a killing machine.
