Chapter 122: Chapter 83 Prelude to the Great Battle

Hundred Demons Forbidden, true nature perfected.

Wang Jixuan emerged from deep meditation, and the first sight that met his eyes was still Lingtong’s room.

But it had been noticeably tidied up; the previously spilled dirty blood had all been cleaned.

His Spiritual Sense extended outward, finding the supply station quiet and peaceful.

Zhou Zhengde sat in a corner of the supply station, facing a few terminal monitors, a cup of steaming coffee at his side, currently speaking into a Communicator.

Wan Xiaoqi, now dressed in a short-sleeve shirt and overalls, was curled up on the sofa clutching her gaming console, the console’s palm-sized screen reflecting on her little face, illuminating a few freckles.

Uncle Tai and Ms. Wan were likely out on a mission, and the two large mechanical dogs that were usually inside the supply station were nowhere to be seen.

Two new rooms had been added to the rear of the supply station.

In the outermost ’sentry room,’ Zheng Shiduo was slumped on a bed, staring vacantly into space.

In the room next door, the teenager Wu Man, wearing white pajamas, sat on the edge of a bed reading intensely, surrounded by all sorts of books, with two hand-drawn posters on the wall.

Posters of the Black Storm.

What about Lingtong?

She should be out of danger by now.

Wang Jixuan stretched and stood up, with faint ripples of Spiritual Energy appearing around him.

After purifying the resentful power within those souls, Master Wang had taken a small step forward in his cultivation. This time, the amplification of his Spiritual Sense was minor, but the Qi Sea inside him had become more substantial, and his meridians more resilient, with definite improvements to his Dao Body.

Upon reflection, it was likely because he had used Devil Skill, mobilizing a large amount of Spiritual Energy into himself and, after bearing the extreme pressure, his Dao Body had made progress.

This kind of advancement came at the cost of wasting the potential of the Dao Body; cultivating was about gradual progress and building up a strong foundation...

Besides, Wang Jixuan had already discovered a problem.

Killing intent.

He now harbored killing intent, and he was becoming somewhat indifferent to slaughter.

Having used the Devil Skill three times in just a few months, the effect on his state of mind was considerable; he knew that he needed to cultivate his moral character...

But that wasn’t quite right either.

’After successfully exterminating that Young King Worm and temporarily resolving the threat from Spiritual Ability Users, then I’ll consider cultivating my moral character.’

Master Wang, with hands clasped behind his back, strolled out of the room. The moment he opened the door, Zhou Zhengde and Wan Xiaoqi both looked over.

"Yah!"

Wan Xiaoqi leapt up in surprise, dashing towards the control panel, and shouted into the microphone:

"Commander! Mr. Wang is awake!"

Zhou Zhengde shook his fist vigorously at Wang Jixuan and, picking up his coffee, laughed heartily as he approached.

Hearing this laughter, Master Wang felt much relieved.

This meant that Zhou Yan had properly handled the subsequent effects.

Master Wang glanced at the calendar; counting from when he began healing Lingtong, twenty-eight hours had passed...

"The others have gone to surround and annihilate the Blade Beast Group," said Zhou Zhengde with a smile in his eyes, raising an eyebrow at Master Wang:

"Are you looking for Lingtong?

"She’s fine, ridiculously fine actually. When she previously climbed into her exclusive Mecha, its compatibility with her broke through her peak values, clocking in a record-breaking 98%!

"If I hadn’t suppressed this news, right now the entire D5 Combat Zone would be lined up with experts and scholars involved with Battle Girls and Mecha development, waiting for your lecture."

"Compatibility?" Master Wang clicked his tongue, "That’s a new term for a Junior Mechanic who hasn’t heard of it."

Zhou Zhengde asked another question, "How’s your injury? What’s the cost of Burst Seed? Is it serious?"

"Just that I’ll be weak for a while."

Already restored to his original state, energetic and full of life, Master Wang with clear eyes said:

"How’s the front line doing now?"

"Let’s take a look over here."

Zhou Zhengde led him to a nearby control panel, with Wan Xiaoqi swiftly pushing over a chair.

Zheng Shiduo and Wu Man had already heard the commotion and came out from their respective rooms.

Wu Man was still sitting in his wheelchair; he needed to wait until he could develop more muscle strength before beginning to train how to walk.

Zhou Zhengde opened up a map of the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone and gave a brief introduction:

"After that Young King Worm attacked Lingtong, we have completely locked onto it. The next step is to annihilated it. It’s hiding in a rock fissure 300 meters underground, surrounded by a large number of Blade Beasts.

"After discussion, the plan to exterminate it is in three steps.

"Firstly, gradually shrink the Blade Beast’s movement range, then conduct a pinpointed nuclear explosion to eliminate most Blade Beasts and remove the Young King Worm’s barrier, and finally, kill the Young King Worm.

"As of now, it’s in a state of desperation. Its frenzy attacking Lingtong before has cost it a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, presenting us with the best opportunity.

"In the Middle Ages Basin, especially around the perimeter of the Sari Desert, fierce battles are raging everywhere, Blade Beasts are acting like they’ve gone mad.

"Other Combined Combat Zones are making concerted efforts, plus the complete activation of the D5 Combat Zone’s Super-Reserve Store, making further breakthroughs by the Blade Beasts Group improbably... in short, we’re intentionally letting this Young Worm live a day or two longer to attract more peripheral Blade Beasts attacks.

"Because of this Young King Worm’s entanglement with Lingtong, the Blade Beasts have been put into a local disadvantage."

Zhou Zhengde paused, then added:

"Although I’m not quite sure what it means, there’s a statement that came from the General Command Center of D5 —"

"The awakening degree of the Blade Beast Primary Group has increased by less than one percent."

"I do know about that," Wang Jixuan explained:

"The Blade Beast Primary Group refers to the large stock of Blade Beasts that defeated human civilization eighty years ago.

"They have entered a state of hibernation under the ground strata; what we’re battling now are merely the periphery groups of Blade Beasts."

Zhou Zhengde put a hand to his forehead: "Some Junior Mechanic knows a bit too much, I wasn’t even aware of this!"
