Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone
Chapter 100 - 72 B Level Spirit Ability User Appears!

Chapter 100: Chapter 72 B Level Spirit Ability User Appears!

The "coo-coo" seemed to be another command to the Blade Beasts.

Just as Wang Jixuan caught on to this noise, a small portion of the Blade Beasts attacking the Fortress and camp began to retreat.

The Blade Beast Group appeared to be in disarray, like two conflicting tides of water.

And at that moment...

Coo—

That Young King Worm!

Wang Jixuan swung his head around sharply, looking towards the direction of the ghostly cry, which came from the northwest, where a series of undulating sand dunes was visible.

The Blade Beast Group was retreating simultaneously.

The human army fired with full force, immediately pursuing, and Wang Jixuan’s earpiece came alive with shouts.

Uncle Tai and Wan Xiaoqi were cheering;

The Commander was calling for fire to be focused on the retreat;

Major Lingtong was asking about his current situation... Ah, he should respond to that.

"No big deal, sir. Don’t worry about me," Master Wang replied quickly, "Are you in pursuit?"

"Our principle is to fight within effective coverage of our firepower."

Major Lingtong’s voice was still quite relaxed:

"Remember the two-hour massage you promised me earlier.

"I’m going to clean up the battlefield now, appropriately chasing down the retreating beasts."

"No problem," Wang Jixuan immediately said, "Don’t pursue too deeply... Just now I heard two pigeon calls. The first command came from the side of the Fortress, and then some of the Blade Beasts began to withdraw, causing chaos. The second time it was from the Young King Worm, in the northwest direction. All of the Blade Beasts started to retreat."

"Got it, I’ll report this message."

Major Lingtong said:

"There have been several unfamiliar Spiritual Ability Users at the Spiritual Ability House of the Fortress. They haven’t registered and could possibly be the helpers Qin Qin invited.

"Don’t approach the Fortress for now."

"Alright."

Wang Jixuan answered, and Major Lingtong had already cut the communication.

Zheng Shiduo shouted from the side, "Coordination complete! We can move on now, boss!"

"I’m tired," Master Wang, sitting on the top of the armored vehicle, waved to Zheng Shiduo, "See you later. I’m about to disappear into the camp."

Zheng Shiduo blinked and immediately said, "Understood! I’ll handle the wrap-up!"

The guy was quite on board.

Wang Jixuan pulled a remote controller out of his pocket, casually tossed it over, flipped off the armored vehicle, and rushed toward the dawning camp.

Time to grab some more Crystal Cores!

After all...

What does the Black Storm’s excavation of Crystal Cores have to do with him, Wang Zheng?

Zheng Shiduo trembled as he gripped the remote, then let out a long breath, looking up at the fast-moving figure of Wang Jixuan.

His earpiece brought the greetings of his teammates:

"Captain Zheng, is that your old flame?"

"He’s so fierce, he throws bombs with such confidence, and so accurately, too. We owe him our lives; we might have been goners without him."

"I advise you to not run your mouth off, or I’ll record it."

Zheng Shiduo clucked his tongue:

"That guy is someone Lingtong has her eyes on. You know her character."

"Holy shit, I was wrong, captain, don’t record!"

"Major Lingtong is the fiercest! Er, the cutest!"

"How many of our team are left here?"

"Eight? Nine?"

"Eleven, captain. We came with eighteen and lost seven."

Zheng Shiduo smiled, "We’ll throw them a farewell party later, cremate their bodies together... We have to fully honor our fallen teammates, don’t take away any personal belongings they carried, and definitely do not desecrate their bodies."

The teammates’ cheers suddenly turned to complaints:

"Captain, that’s a waste of resources!"

"I wanted to make a specimen out of my boyfriend’s sapling; we were so perfectly matched."

"That’s a bit disgusting, I just want to sleep with my roommate one more time."

"How would you sleep?"

"Normally! You filthy, dirty bastards!"

Zheng Shiduo: ...

He often felt out of place among his teammates because he wasn’t twisted enough.

...

Forty-two Crystal Cores!

And in terms of quality, most of them could match those he had obtained previously at the Spiritual Ability House!

Master Wang looked at the spoils spread out on the bed, narrowed his eyes, and smiled.

He swiftly wrapped the Crystal Cores with Sealing Demon Talismans, set aside three for his later cultivation, and then placed the rest in three different areas, casting the Forbidden Spirit Spell to minimize the fluctuations of spiritual power.

Then he leaped back onto the bed.

Qi depletion?

Just replenish it with the spiritual power from the Crystal Cores!

These Crystal Cores should be enough for him to step into the later stages of the Gathering Spirit Realm. Next up was absorbing spiritual power, body tempering, and expanding his Divine Soul — step by measured step!

Wang Jixuan activated the Array Plate, Bao Yuan Shou Yi, as streams of Spiritual Energy were rapidly released and quickly absorbed by him.

Now was a good time for cultivation, as the inside and outside of the camp were cleaning up after the battle, replenishing ammunition, and distributing supplies.

The Blade Beasts had withdrawn on their own, not completely annihilated.

The warfare on the periphery of the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone was even more intense, with new Blade Beast Clans joining the war, creating certain pressure for the entire D5 Combined Combat Zone.

Fortunately, the D5 Combined Combat Zone had a relatively long history and abundant supplies, fully capable of supporting the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone in months of intense warfare.

—After all, the production of supplies from each Fortress was all in preparation for the war against the Blade Beasts.

Rumors of the Black Storm had spread throughout the barracks.

In addition to the legends of the Black Storm punishing gangs in the Lower City, the soldiers were eagerly discussing this mysterious Spiritual Ability User who had suddenly emerged.

Most people believed that the Black Storm was a Spiritual Ability User created by the Military, which greatly uplifted the spirits within the camp.

The pre-dawn battle had consumed a tremendous amount of ammunition, but because the defense line hadn’t been breached by the Blade Beasts, there weren’t many casualties among the soldiers.

It was fortunate that the Blade Beasts hadn’t fought to the end;

Otherwise, once a gap appeared in the camp’s line of fire, it could have easily led to a bloodbath.

Wang Jixuan hadn’t been cultivating for even half an hour before there was a knock on the door.

His Spiritual Sense had already detected someone’s presence, so he put away the Array Plate, stood up, and opened the door.

Dressed in a white combat suit, Major Lingtong came into his view.

She was sizing up Wang Jixuan from head to toe.

Uncle Tai called out from behind, "See! I told you he wasn’t injured!"

Ms. Wan raised her hand as if to hit him, causing Uncle Tai to quickly shut his mouth and lower his head to eat breakfast.

"Mechanic Wang Zheng," Major Lingtong said with a cold face, "because you disobeyed the dispatch order and participated in the battle without authorization and joined the assault team on your own, the Combined Combat Zone Command Headquarters expresses its dissatisfaction with you."

Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile, "I thought it would be a criticism."

"I received two pieces of information."

Major Lingtong’s expression thawed slightly, her shoulders shrugging a little:

"The first piece of information was a criticism, but after about ten seconds, another message came through, turning the context into dissatisfaction."

"Rest assured, I will not delay the follow-up research of the Demon-breaking Dagger."

Master Wang watched Major Lingtong’s neck, where there was a piece of gauze stuck to her swan-like throat.

"Are you injured?"

"I got scraped by a flying stone during the battle, just a superficial wound, what about you?"

"I’m fine."

"What magic did you use on Zheng Shiduo?" Major Lingtong asked with a hint of disdain in her expression, "He’s going crazy praising Black Storm, even talking about forming a Black Storm cult to recruit followers for Black Storm."

Master Wang frowned and pursed his lips.

In their Cultivation World, only those Evil Cultivators who couldn’t break through in their own cultivation and wanted to take shortcuts would establish temples and cults for their own benefit.

"Let’s talk inside," Wang Jixuan suggested, "or perhaps over at the dining table."

"I can’t afford to relax just yet, I just came back temporarily to check on your condition," replied Major Lingtong quickly.

"This battle caused significant losses to the Blade Beast Group; they retreated underground, withdrawing along the geological tunnels they had created previously.

"Our supplies of Ground Penetrating Nuclear Bombs are insufficient, and we’re trying to infer the location of the Young King Worm through the movement patterns of the Blade Beast Group.

"The Space Fortress is ready with three tactical nuclear bombs and one Three-Phase Bomb for immediate support here.

"However, due to the excessive consumption of nuclear bombs in the prior battle and the fact that every region in the world is a battle zone, the average number of nuclear bombs per area is not sufficient. The Space Fortress will only release these bombs if the Blade Beast Group reaches a certain number."

"Do you have any more information about the Young King Worm?"

Wang Jixuan gave it careful thought and spoke softly, "Meng Caiyuan, the failed Spiritual Ability User who could order the lower Blade Beasts, I suspect he can communicate with the Young King Worm."

"Hmm..."

Major Lingtong also thought it over and said softly:

"Next, I’m going to the Spiritual Ability House in the Fortress to apprehend Qin Qin.

"Do you want to come along as Black Storm?

"Because of your intervention last night, Thirteenth Institute is already aware of Black Storm, and the United Defense Army will definitely protect you. All that’s needed is to keep the identities of Black Storm and Wang Zheng separate; besides that, there shouldn’t be any major issues."

"Alright," Wang Jixuan agreed immediately with a nod, "I too would like to meet those unfamiliar Spiritual Ability Users... Zheng Shiduo did quite change my perception of this group."

Major Lingtong cautioned, "Perception should only be for individuals, not groups. Everyone has a complex past, and even the military has its villains, with most Spiritual Ability Users being puppets of Thirteenth Institute."

"Of course, I understand this. Give me a moment to change my clothes."

Just as Wang Jixuan was about to close the door, he paused, raised a sword finger, and extended it towards Major Lingtong’s neck.

Major Lingtong’s body tensed, but she still maintained her calm and restraint, not making any move to counterattack.

Thud.

Wang Jixuan pressed a finger to the bandaged wound, and strands of Spiritual Energy soaked into it.

Faint wisps of black qi floated away, vanishing into the air, while a slight tingling sensation appeared at her wound.

Master Wang had actually discovered a wisp of gloom enveloping the area, which had not yet had time to invade Major Lingtong’s brain.

However, when he was in a good mood, he would pay some attention to this minor aspect of emotional intelligence.

"Such good skin, it would be a shame to leave a scar," he said.

She closed the door and changed.

Major Lingtong paused at the doorway for a few seconds before lowering her head and returning to her own room.

She didn’t change her clothes, simply taking a brief rest. Based on her judgment, she would still need the combat suit she was wearing.

...

Two helicopters landed in the middle of the fortress’s military camp.

Having observed the traces of battle along the way, Master Wang gazed at the Blade Beast carcasses with frustrated regret.

The Crystal Core was the Thirteenth Institute’s core supply need, closely monitored by the Thirteenth Institute and a top priority for them to track.

At the current stage, the military was obliged to follow the laws of the Fortress Era. They couldn’t provide Wang Jixuan with Crystal Cores until they had cleared out all the spies that the Thirteenth Institute had planted within the military or until they had completely broken with the Thirteenth Institute.

——Acquiring a small number of Crystal Cores wasn’t difficult; the military could organize trustworthy hunting teams to kill Blade Beasts and extract their Crystal Cores.

But these benefits would only be possible after Wang Jixuan and the military’s mutual trust had reached a higher level.

More than a dozen figures jumped out of the helicopters.

Major Lingtong walked at the forefront, with Zheng Shiduo leading a dozen military personnel and military Spiritual Ability Users closely behind, followed by Wang Jixuan, who wore a black helmet and black combat suit, with a baseball bag slung over his shoulder.

The elevator went straight to the third floor of the fortress.

Spiritual Ability House was still occupied by hundreds of elite soldiers.

Most of the Spiritual Ability Users stationed in the fortress had participated in the previous sub-battles.

——As reserve forces.

Currently, these Spiritual Ability Users were under house arrest in the ground military camp; the Spiritual Ability House was staffed by less than ten legitimately stationed Spiritual Ability Users.

These guys were currently blocking the passage into the laboratory.

Seeing this, Zheng Shiduo was about to take on the aura of a ’C-level senior’ and move forward to chastise these D-level and E-level Spiritual Ability Users.

Major Lingtong lifted her right mechanical arm.

Whirr, whoosh!

The concrete floor now had a small pit emitting black smoke.

The group of Spiritual Ability Users instantly straightened up, standing against the wall, almost ready to salute.

Footsteps approached the laboratory door en masse. Qin Qin appeared behind the laboratory’s glass door, wearing a white lab coat and a charming smile.

"Major Lingtong, are you here to issue an arrest warrant for me? Aye, Black Storm has even come... Uncle Feng, this is the Spiritual Ability User crafted by the military that I’ve mentioned to you."

Qin Qin stepped back half a step, her smile unwavering.

A somewhat frail old man, dressed in a Tang suit with his hands clasped behind his back, walked to the laboratory doorstep, eyeing Major Lingtong and Wang Jixuan with displeasure.

Master Wang had already noticed this fellow, which is why he had taken the initiative to lag behind the group.

The old man’s body housed a powerful qi;

Patchy and disordered, yet with a kind of ’order’ born out of chaos.

If one were to compare the old man with Zheng Shiduo based solely on the volume of qi inside, it would be enough to rival sixteen and a half Zheng Shiduos.

Clearly... a B-level Spiritual Ability User.
