Chapter 105: Chapter 75: Grilled... Blade Beast Meat

The day after the Fortress defense battle.

At dusk;

Expanded Zone C outside Fortress 76 in the Middle Ages Basin.

The rhythmic sounds of blacksmithing once again echoed from Lingtong’s temporary supply station.

Diligent Daoist Wang had finished this round of cultivation, taking a firm great stride towards the middle phase of the Gathering Spirit Realm.

At present, he was not short of Crystal Cores, only needing to continuously enhance his Spiritual Sense, consolidate his soul, and temper his Dao Body. In less than half a month, he would be able to reach the middle phase of the Gathering Spirit Realm!

Under current conditions, the best way to temper the Dao Body was naturally...

Blacksmithing.

Two furnaces, taller than a man, blazed fiercely as the thick iron anvils and large hammers, produced by high-precision machine tools, hammered out a sword embryo.

Wang Jixuan was exploring methods for mass-producing the Demon-breaking Dagger while also making a weapon for Lingtong’s self-defense.

After this battle, Daoist Wang had gained direct knowledge of the strength of the Blade Beast’s shell and witnessed human firepower firsthand, understanding the weaknesses of both.

Moreover, Wang Jixuan was becoming increasingly confident in his combat abilities after advancing to the Golden Core Realm.

’I wonder if that young man was encouraged by me, indeed, the realization I gained from this renewed life is that...’

’With Crystal Cores, awesome!’

’Without Crystal Cores, not awesome.’

’Immortality leads to becoming a God, but living is the foundation of everything!’

Daoist Wang stopped hammering, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, picked up the sword embryo wrapped in Spiritual Energy, and cooled it in a nearby bucket.

With a sizzling sound, mist instantly filled the workshop.

Wang Jixuan exhaled a breath of murky air and examined the sword embryo set aside, shaking his head slightly in dissatisfaction.

’The quality is still not quite there, need to continue hammering and injecting spirit.’

’This is a gift for Lingtong, and it’s also indirectly protected by me; obviously, it has to be well-crafted.’

’Besides, it subtly indicates to the Devil Commander that I have greater value, preventing him from succumbing to the pressure from the Thirteenth Institute.’

The sound of an announcement echoed through the workshop:

"Battle Girl return to pod."

Wang Jixuan turned his head to look, as the soldiers stationed at the four new outposts outside the door saluted simultaneously.

Lingtong hurried into the outer door, not having time to put on a short sleeve, only wearing grey capri pants as Daoist Wang quickly... lifted the hammer to cover his chest muscles.

Lingtong bowed her head as she entered, her previously somewhat sour mood immediately brightened considerably.

"How’s it going?" Wang Jixuan asked.

"Let’s talk inside, I’m hungry," Lingtong replied.

A small projecting screen popped out from Lingtong’s mechanical arm, casually activating the supply station’s protective Shield and the confidentiality sound insulation.

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seemed that the matters she was dealing with were not going smoothly.

...

Indeed, things were not going smoothly.

Qin Qin had a lot to explain, including how to operate the Nutrition Storage and amplifiers and so on, and admitted that she had let Meng Caiyuan transmit signals twice, but beyond that, she hadn’t achieved much else.

Spiritual Ability City had already issued a notice; Level Spirit Ability User Uncle Feng and his four subordinates had officially taken residence at the Spiritual Ability House, and a special commissioner team was on its way from Spiritual Ability City.

Fortunately, the lab at the Spiritual Ability House in Fortress 76 had been emptied by the Military, and Qin Qin was escorted to the frontline headquarters.

The young man named Meng Caiyuan was temporarily transferred to the medical center on the seventh level of the fortress, and the Military had yet to decide whether to detain him.

The situation outside the fortress wasn’t looking good either.

Blade Beasts had been moving underground continuously; they had now retreated to a position about two hundred kilometers away in the center of the Sari Desert;

The intensity of the war on the front lines had decreased, but more Blade Beasts were surging towards the vicinity of the Middle Ages Basin, with traces of three King-level Blade Beasts appearing on the periphery.

The war seemed likely to escalate further,

The Command Center was evaluating whether to take the initiative and attack this wave of Blade Beasts.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Can’t they just attack them directly with nuclear bombs?"

Ms. Wan explained gently, "Why do you think they always move underground? It’s to avoid the nuclear bombardment from the Space Fortress... Blade Beasts will create passages underground before they march in large numbers."

Ms. Wan brought over some freshly heated food.

Lingtong clearly seemed happier, eating in small bites.

Uncle Tai and Wan Xiaoqi were organizing equipment in the corner, preparing for the next battle.

Daoist Wang muttered, "I have the feeling that these Blade Beasts underground are doing more than just avoiding nuclear attacks..."

"That young man didn’t lie," Lingtong continued to eat, not forgetting to give Wang Jixuan a thumbs up.

Daoist Wang raised his eyebrows, "Then I know what to do; I’ll go help him escape later."

"Are you going to kill him?"

"No, his ability is rare, I intend to save him."

Wang Jixuan suppressed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

In fact, he had considered using a Soul Capturing Charm to give the boy a new body, but whether the soul could adapt to a new body was a problem, and where was he to find a fresh, unharmed body?

To kill someone for this purpose?

That wasn’t what a righteous Cultivator would do.

"Sorry," Lingtong said softly while swallowing her meat porridge, looking up at Wang Jixuan, "I didn’t know you had been kidnapped before."

"Huh?" Wang Jixuan gazed at Lingtong.

Lingtong muttered quietly, "We woke up the boy, and he was in pain, but he briefly mentioned the soulful interaction he had with you. Only I, Zheng Shiduo, and Minister Zhou Meiyin were present at the time, so don’t worry about it leaking out."

"This kid really can’t keep a secret."

Wang Jixuan wondered, "Then why are you apologizing to me?"

"I always thought you were a naturally carefree person."

Lingtong looked at the food on her plate:

"If there’s something on your mind, feel free to talk to me when I’m free... As a commander, it’s my duty to provide psychological support to the logistics team."
