Chapter 153: This Farming Spot Is Not Easy to Build
Fang Ning watched as the System Notification showed, [The System consumed a massive amount of experience points and upgraded the Atmospheric Morality Technique complete version to Advanced-level, reaching the bottleneck of the current level. The System will gain new effects as follows:]
[1. Morality Envelopment. The current level allows the extra storage of Morality equal to the current Morality Bar. Current Morality Bar number increased to 28 bars.]
2. Bonus to all martial arts whenever Morality is expended, current bonus at 150%.
3. Functional expansion of Morality Module. Current skills include: Morality Shelter, Morality Absorption. New skill: Strength in Unity. Strength in Unity can be activated by consuming a large amount of Morality. Once activated, it would bestow the status “Unity” to merge the skills of all righteous characters in one combined attack.]
[The System used Four Symbols Sealing Formation Diagram to trap the monsters.]
[King cobra’s intimidation toward the monsters were cut off.]
[The monsters were confused.]
[Black-uniformed soldiers used Tiandao Combo.]
[Qiao Anping used Sanguine Slice.]
[The System activated True Dragon form and used Descent of Dragon Force.]
[The System consumed 10 Morality Bars and used combined skill Strength in Unity.]
[All attacks on the side of righteousness merged into Dragon Force Tiandao.]
[The System attacked a mutated Bloodthirsty Lizard demon.]
[The mutated Bloodthirsty Lizard demon was suppressed by the Dragon Force, suffered an attack of Supreme Yang 1 , and suffered a critical attack of Morality!]
[The lizard demon was in a state of confusion, the System’s Advanced Deterrence was triggered. The lizard demon’s power was lowered.]
[The System was using Blade Combat Arts, the Martial Realm effect Like a Butcher Dismembering a Bull was triggered, Defense Break! Fatal Blow!]
[The lizard demon’s passive ability Thick Skin was suppressed by the Dragon Force and failed to activate!]
[The lizard demon took 550,000 points of damage.]
[The lizard demon died.]
[The System obtained 14.2 million experience points.]
[The System obtained a huge amount of Heroic Fame.]
[The System obtained a massive amount of Morality, all Morality Bars full.]
Fang Ning said, “That’s… impressive…”
The System replied, “What a shame, they all ran so quickly. If only the soldiers could keep it up for a few more minutes, I could’ve slain another one.”
Fang Ning said, “Stop being greedy. If it were just us, don’t even think about stopping them from running away. We would’ve spent several days, maybe even a dozen days before you could defeat one. You’re lucky to have all the support behind you to one-hit KO this one, and you didn’t even consume that much vital energy to begin with.”
The System responded, “Don’t just say that I’m lucky. From what I can see, Qiao Anping seems to begin to break through. I’m guessing it was his first Pond-level monster too, so he would benefit a lot from this. And those men-in-black? Being a lower level, most of them would have advanced soon after experiencing this battle.”
Fang Ning nodded, “True. They had been cultivating in the Land of Heritage where Vitality is so concentrated, I’m guessing many of them would have reached the bottleneck, missing only an opportunity to break through. I say this is a win-win situation. After a few more battles, this army would have evolved into a superior army.”
The System muttered, “Still, slaying a demon head-on would’ve given more Morality and fame. It’s easy to steal a kill, the experience points are the same, but the rest were cut down so much.”
Fang Ning quipped, “Nonsense, it wouldn’t have given us much fame anyway. Oh right, remember not to pocket the whole lizard carcass by yourself. We need to leave them some so they would help us again next time.”
The System said, “I really would have pocketed it if you didn’t remind me…”
***************
Everyone at the Truth Department welcomed Vigilante A into the hall and took their seat.
A dangerous incident had passed without any casualty. Even if Vigilante A was not there to help them, they would still be able to survive this encounter. However, they would have needed to sacrifice quite a bit.
For the first time in days, Elder Hai’s face finally loosened up. He chuckled and said, “It’s just like the Venerable One said, that powerful fiend was desperate to advance into the next stage after having stayed in the Land of Heritage for so long.”
“If we’d just keep occupying this space and don’t allow it to contact the Indians, it will send beasts to attack us. However, it didn’t realize that it will only be helping us train our army, increasing our might. Venerable One, your plan was truly impressive.”
Vigilante A answered, “You’re welcome.”
Qiao Anping looked as casual as he usually did. It was his first attempt to slay a Pond-level creature, and it gave him much to think about.
He continued the conversation, “Elder Hai was right. Hu Feng’s men were lucky. Those beasts were hard to kill. Our men used to only be able to wound them, but had never been able to catch up to them once they started taking off due to their injury.”
“This was the first time we could kill even one of them so easily. Our Tiandao formation had increased in power after this battle, and even I had been able to gain much experience from it. All these were thanks to you, Venerable One.”
The System muttered, “You could stop praising me with useless words and start giving me more money…”
