Chapter 331: 0223 Combat Enhancement (1 more update! 5k, two-in-one extra update for double monthly tickets)_2

First, although firearms are strong, the Void Things have a variety of tactics like Virtualizing Spirit Body, Flying Escape, tearing through space, Death Replacement, Clones... An endless stream of incomprehensible methods, and they’re not idiots either—they sense danger and will do everything possible to stay alive.

Second, the explosive power of firearms is too great; the instant high temperature and destructive force, even if it hits the Void Things, will turn them into nothing. Then how can we collect the necessary materials for scientific research and manufacturing, and improve the quality of the Void Blade?

Currently in the Void Realm, we can use firearms, even nuclear weapons, with reckless abandon, but if the Void Things run into crowded areas, in our world, we would still mostly need to deploy Martial Arts experts to prevent extensive secondary damage from firearms.

In short, in the clearing of the Void Realm, firearms are an important method for us to sweep through large-scale Low Level Void Things. If you have visited the 18 completed Starfire Cities, you would find that the entire city is a steel fortress and bastion.

Even when faced with a surge of demons, relying on firearms, as long as there is sufficient ammunition, we can kill them in large quantities, leaving nothing behind."

Li Fu said, "I see."

Shentu Youshan said, "Now, the technology for manufacturing Void Blades has matured. Within ten years, our Da Xia will be able to make Void Blades affordable for everyone, allowing all Martial Artists to possess a Void Blade."

After passing through the artillery zone, the group stopped in a valley.

Shentu Youshan said, "This area, codenamed ’Insect Valley,’ has been swept once with firearms, but there are still many Great Void remnants, mostly Insect Demons. Insect Demons often have the ability to fly and tunnel, are skilled in Poison Resistance, and are very fast...

In short, be cautious. Unless you are very confident in your abilities, it is best to move in teams. If you encounter danger, send a flare signal and run out of the valley."

Some people got out of the vehicle, entering into the mist in twos and threes.

Lu Chenzhou formed a group with Wang Hongdao on their own initiative, accompanied by a man named Li Jia.

Li Jia, scratching the back of his head, said apologetically with a smile, "Don’t worry, I won’t drag you two down. If there are any Great Void, I’ll leave them to you. I’m mainly here to hunt high-risk Void Things and earn some Battle Merit to buy Great Medicine."

It’s tough for folks in the regular class. Without the support policies from the Martial Arts Department for Su City Dragon Martial, normally, the regular class wouldn’t have the qualifications to participate in such trials.

Lu Chenzhou understood Li Jia’s difficulties, and said, "No problem, we’ll sweep forward in a triangular formation, watch out for each other. For individual kills, we each keep our own Tokens. If we kill together, I’ll hold on to the Token, and when we convert them into Battle Merit later, we’ll distribute according to contribution."

Wang Hongdao said, "That’s a good plan."

Elsewhere, Fang Xue, leading her department’s team, smiled and said, "Brother Lu, stay safe."

"You too, be careful."

Watching the Trialists depart, Shentu Youshan couldn’t help but think of his daughter.

"Linglan, strive harder."

He didn’t expect his daughter to catch up with a prodigy like Lu Chenzhou.

But she also shouldn’t lag too far behind Wang Hongdao.

...

In the valley, rugged rocks were scattered all over, as well as bizarre plants towering like a dark forest; they did not need sunlight and drew sustenance entirely from the earth.

The "Realm Atlas" recorded:

[Night Pine, its branches can be used as fuel, and the effect is excellent.]

The power plant inside the base relied on it for electricity.

Suddenly, Lu Chenzhou’s ears twitched, and he gestured.

"There’s an unknown creature approaching, about two hundred meters away..."

The other two became alert, power circulating around their bodies.

The advantages of Lu Chenzhou’s Cross Training became more apparent; the Golden Film was a continuous state. Unless scattered, it acted like armor, not requiring him to deliberately channel power.

Commonly known as: passive defense!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A strange bug with a wingspan of about two meters, with wings like a cicada and a pure gold shell, darted through the forest. Its head was strangely twisted, and upon closer inspection, one could barely make out a human face.

"Bzzz, bzzzz..."

With a sound akin to a doll’s wail, an invisible sonic wave swept over and, like radar, sensed the faint presence of three beings ahead.

At the same time.

A figure like a locust vaulted through the woods, climbed trees to the top, and descended from the sky. His right leg flicked like a long whip and then smashed down, flattening the creature to the ground.

Flying Tiger Fist·Tiger Falling Mountain!

Puff, puff!

The Mountain Lord sliced the creature as easily as cutting tofu.

Lu Chenzhou landed on the ground, exhaling slightly.

On the Martial Arts Tree, a notification flashed by.

[Flying Tiger Fist: Proficient (40%) → Proficient (41%)]

"These mid-danger Void Things are just right for practicing my ordinary Martial Arts... If I encounter a Great Void, then it’s time for gun training, not bad, not bad.

This way, during this month’s trials, my Cultivation progress won’t fall too far behind. If I can get to the point of an inspiration, I could even make further progress."

On the other side.

Wang Hongdao and Li Jia caught up, both of them expressing regret:

"This is a Human-faced Golden Cicada; too bad it’s a mid-danger Void Thing, no Battle Merit."

Lu Chenzhou dissected the corpse with his Fist Blade, saying, "Inside the Human-faced Golden Cicada, there’s a soundwave detection organ. This thing will dissipate into Evil Power when brought to the outside world, but inside the Void Realm, scientists at the base can transform it into a simple biological radar; it’s quite useful."

Low-risk and mid-risk Void Things don’t have Battle Merit, but that doesn’t mean they’re without value. This is the Void Realm; these creatures won’t dissipate into Evil Power when they die. Thus, many materials can aid in the pioneering construction. Otherwise, how could it be possible to establish 18 huge Starfire Cities by just transporting resources from the outside? Humanity is best at utilizing local resources.

The beings killed in the Void Realm can be taken out to the Human World are those "Void Relics." Other bodily materials can only be used within the Void Realm.
