Chapter 70 D-Level Energy Reaction 【Fourth Update | Seeking First Subscription】

“Fire! Fire!”

“A mimic beast has infiltrated! Psychic special forces, coordinate!”

“Mine location! Medium-weight bladed beast! Level 2 firepower coverage!”

The night suddenly became incredibly noisy.

The spirit brought forth cries.

Dressed in a ‘black suit’, Wang Jixuan, carrying a golf club bag and a battery pack, stood on the roof of the supply station, almost blending into the darkness.

He was waiting.

Waiting to witness the power of technology firsthand.

Noise assaulting my ears!

Sparks suddenly appeared on one side of the camp, and countless rapid-fire cannons opened fire simultaneously, resulting in a dense explosion in the area between the mine and the camp’s defensive line!

A wave of heat hit us, and the tin-roofed house continued to vibrate.

Under the searchlights, low-level basic blade beasts crawled out of the mine at great speed, only to be smashed to pieces by the concentrated firepower.

Limbs were constantly being blown off, bullets traced straight lines, and a swarm of drones flying overhead dropped fragmentation bombs.

Master Wang felt that his blood flow had become much faster.

This doesn’t even qualify as a prelude to war.

Uncle Tai’s voice came through the helmet headset: “These are all defective Blade Beasts that came out, used to wear down our firepower. The level 2 firepower coverage is a bit of a waste. This commander is a bit impatient.”

As soon as Uncle Tai finished speaking, a large group of Blade Beasts suddenly emerged from various mines.

The Blade Beasts either leaped or rolled, and half of them crossed the first line of fire.

Pre-placed mines on the ground were constantly being detonated, and bombs rained down from the sky; the electromagnetic guns set up inside the camp had been activated, rapidly sending out shells!

The lights in the camp instantly dimmed by more than half!

The Blade Beasts charged relentlessly, showing no fear whatsoever. Even with only mangled remains, they struggled forward, unleashing mental attacks as soon as they got a little closer to the camp’s defensive line.

The main body of the defensive line was a black steel plate, but now a bright blue light appeared on the outside of the steel plate.

Scattered Blade Beasts charged towards the vicinity of the defensive line!

A small square opening appeared in the center of the steel plate, from which the barrels of hundreds of large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles protruded.

The dull, heavy gunfire joined the symphony of artillery fire!

Dozens of psionicists appeared behind the defensive line, constantly watching all directions. Once the defensive line was breached, they would immediately attack, fill the gap, and turn the tide. Their most important task was to prevent the ubiquitous mimicry beasts from breaching the defensive line from the inside.

This tacit and skillful tactical coordination is experience gained through bloodshed.

Uncle Tai muttered, “Are the vanguard troops this fierce? Teacher Wang, where are you? Don’t be impulsive! You’re a technical expert!”

Wang Jixuan replied, “Don’t worry, I value my life.”

Sister Wan scolded him, “Don’t give orders blindly, you’re a technical expert!”

Wang Jixuan’s eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

‘How can we mine crystal cores in such a fiercely contested battlefield? It’s not just that there are too many people and too much noise; the main problem is that I, too, can’t withstand this firepower.’

Previously, only a few hundred Blade Beasts rushed out of the mine. The sight of these Blade Beasts standing there at the same time was already terrifying. I can’t imagine what it would be like to see tens of thousands of Blade Beasts charging at the same time.

They should be providing cover for the mimicry blade beasts;

And these mimicry bladed beasts…

You can dig!

Wang Jixuan leaped up and disappeared silently into the darkness. He ran in the opposite direction of the mine, without activating the Divine Speed ​​Talisman, yet his speed was already faster than before when he had fully activated both the Divine Speed ​​Talisman and the Divine Speed ​​Spell.

The other side of the camp’s defensive line.

Three slender bladed beasts, almost transparent in appearance and blending into their surroundings, lined up and circled around the outer armored vehicles, slowly approaching the camp.

They didn’t notice the human figure rising and falling, nor did they notice that this human landed on a house dozens of meters away and stared intently at them.

‘This monster is alright to look at; it’s similar to a mantis that has become a spirit.’

The shape of the mimicry blade beast does indeed resemble a large mantis. Its lower legs have degenerated into blade-like limbs, and the spikes on its back have disappeared, replaced by two thin, transparent wings. A thin crystalline membrane covers its terrifying mouthparts, and its body is enveloped in a light membrane.

This light membrane not only makes them translucent, but also conceals their psionic fluctuations.

Mimicry Blade Beasts have two forms: one is their original state, and the other is a parasitic state in which they fold themselves up, burrow into the human body, and then support the human body.

At this moment, a large number of mimicry blade beasts are infiltrating the camp, and Wang Jixuan has detected more than twenty of them with his spiritual sense.

Those psionicists haven’t discovered this place yet.

very good.

He spread his right hand, pointing it at the mimicking beast that was quietly moving below. The five bronze-colored bone-piercing nails tied to his arm slowly floated up, and a faint blue light appeared on them.

The book says that the defense of the Mimic Blade Beast is much lower than that of the Basic Blade Beast.

Push your palm forward!

Five bone-piercing nails suddenly shot out!

The three mimicry blade beasts reacted simultaneously!

Before they could discern the direction of the attack, they instinctively leaped to the left and right to dodge, demonstrating a leaping ability far superior to that of ordinary Blade Beasts!

But this is of no use.

The new bone-piercing nails traced arcs and effortlessly embedded themselves into the skulls of the two bladed beasts.

The third Blade Beast met an even worse fate, with three new Bone-Piercing Nails embedded in its skull, abdomen, and throat.

Wang Jixuan clenched his fist, and the spiritual power within the Bone-Piercing Nail erupted, transforming wisps of energy into sharp cones that pierced through the most active areas of their demonic souls.

‘This should be their nerve center.’

Wang Jixuan leaped forward, placing his left hand behind his back, and landed steadily. — It was simply a habit he had developed from flying around in his Taoist robes and long gown.

He landed silently, carrying a modified version of the Demon-Slaying Dagger for his own use. With swift movements, he sliced ​​open the exoskeletons of the bladed beasts, locked onto the location of the crystal core with his spiritual sense, and used his energy like a hook to fish it out.

Wipe with toilet paper, shake it twice, and stick on the demon-suppressing talisman.

In just over twenty seconds, Wang Jixuan completed the crystal core extraction surgery, opened his left hand to recall the bone-piercing nail, infused it with spiritual power, and looked down at the mimicry blade beasts.

‘Let’s just burn the corpse, even though it wastes some magic power.’

He flicked out three emerald green talismans, and with his right hand, his sword-like fingers slid through the air, writing the character “炎” (flame) in seal script.

As the aura was drawn away, the three talismans simultaneously emitted pale flames. The flames rapidly corroded the shells of these blade beasts, and in just two breaths, they turned into raging fire, completely engulfing the bodies of the mimic blade beasts.

【True Fire Talisman: Demon-Forging Secret Manual】.

This is a higher-level talisman that can only be made by combining raw talisman paper with the blood of a beast that has not lost its vitality.

Wang Jixuan glanced around from the corner a few times, and once the flames began to subside, he turned and headed towards the next battlefield that his spiritual sense had locked onto.

Try not to leave any traces.

With their own spiritual awareness, these mimicry blade beasts are much easier to kill than ordinary blade beasts, and far less so than that mutated blade beast.

Wang Jixuan was actually somewhat unclear about how much his combat strength had improved.

Breakthroughs in cultivation, the forging of new magical artifacts, and the upgrading of talisman power—these are all ways to improve combat strength in ways that cannot be quantified.

But now, he probably has a better idea.

‘With this spear, I should be able to fight that mutated bladed beast head-on, without having to resort to demonic arts.’

This put Master Wang at ease.

He moved up and down in the camp, and in just a few minutes, he got more than a dozen crystal cores, leaving behind more than a dozen puddles of ashes in various corners.

The mid-stage of the Gathering Spirit realm seemed to be beckoning to him.

Wang Jixuan’s lips couldn’t help but curl upwards, and his movements became even faster.

He had always thought that the Mimic Blade Beasts might be very troublesome—mainly because Uncle Tai and the others kept exaggerating how terrifying they were.

But their disguises were completely useless in the face of his spiritual awareness.

The spiritual sense still locked onto more than a dozen mimicry blade beasts, and there should be more than thirty mimicry blade beasts in this batch that invaded the camp.

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment.

He naturally wanted to continue happily mining crystal cores, but these mimicry blade beasts had begun to approach some soldiers’ rest areas, probably heading to find 【human skin】.

There are choices to be made here.

Wang Jixuan pressed down on his helmet, adopted an angry tone, and shouted urgently:

“Zheng Shiduo! Lots of mimicry blade beasts! Near the No. 3 electromagnetic cannon! They’re approaching the camp!”

A few seconds later.

Bang bang bang!

Several flares were launched into the air at the same time, and the camp, which had been plunged into darkness due to the electromagnetic cannon’s energy consumption, was immediately illuminated again. More than a dozen psionicists who were patrolling and searching in the camp rushed towards the vicinity of the No. 3 turret, and mimicking blade beasts were quickly discovered.

Master Wang secretly regretted it… but the war was more important, and he was also enjoying the protection of soldiers and cannons.

There have already been two waves of mimicry blade beasts.

The first wave was just a test; the psionicists easily wiped them out, numbering about a dozen.

Then, the second batch of mimicry blade beasts perfectly evaded all the psionicists.

Wang Jixuan had a feeling that there would be a third batch of mimicry blade beasts later. Based on his observation, the mimicry blade beasts’ target should be these electromagnetic turrets with powerful firepower and high rate of fire.

Boom!

The sound of gunfire also came from the direction of the fortress.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

They also encountered similar small groups of blade beasts and mimic blade beasts over there.

‘What a clever monster!’

Master Wang lunged forward at lightning speed, avoiding the movements of the psionicists, in order to find the two undiscovered mimicry blade beasts.

He had just arrived here and hadn’t even had a chance to make a move when he heard the sound of something cutting through the air behind him.

Zheng Shiduo, adorned with steel wings, flew low overhead, howling wildly, and fired more than a dozen arrows with explosive heads from his steel wings.

The two mimicry blade beasts and several empty tin huts were instantly engulfed by the sea of ​​fire.

Wang Jixuan: ……

This guy is deliberately trying to make things difficult for him, isn’t he?

Wang Jixuan turned to leave, but Zheng Shiduo had already spotted him and yelled at the top of his lungs, “Big Boss, wait for me! I need to protect you!”

Wang Jixuan stopped and stood on the tin roof.

Zheng Shiduo fired a few more shots downwards, then floated down towards Wang Jixuan, giving him two thumbs-up and exclaiming, “It’s all thanks to you! We didn’t even notice these guys!”

“What’s up?”

“Something’s come up?” Zheng Shiduo pointed to the explosive coil around his neck. “My mission is to protect you. Let’s move to the fortress! Once this attack is over! If anything happens to you, Ling Tong might devour me!”

“Thank you, but it’s no need.”

Wang Jixuan said:

“I didn’t bring the remote control for this thing with me.”

Actually, it was in his pocket.

Zheng Shiduo shrugged and spread his hands: “I know you must have misunderstood me, but I am now a pure military psionicist. To be honest, if I wanted to betray you, I would have plenty of opportunities on the front lines. Of course, I would have been killed long ago.”

Wang Jixuan turned to leave, but then remembered something and turned back to look at Zheng Shiduo.

He said softly, “Can you command these psionicists brought in from the front lines?”

“Hmm,” Zheng Shiduo said with a hint of smugness on his skinny, monkey-like face, “I’m a captain, after all.”

“There may be more mimicking blade beasts later,” Wang Jixuan said. “Assign me a patrol mission for a certain area.”

Zheng Shiduo blinked: “Are you that eager to fight?”

Wang Jixuan casually replied, “I just want to contribute my own strength to this war.”

“Fine, you’re the boss, so you call the shots.”

Zheng Shiduo raised his left arm, from which a keyboard and a projection screen popped out. He swiped his fingers a few times and assigned a patrol area to Wang Jixuan.

“That’s enough,” Wang Jixuan tapped his helmet. “Don’t follow me.”

Before Zheng Shiduo could speak, Wang Jixuan had already disappeared in a few leaps.

He opened his mouth.

Aren’t they supposed to be moving to the fortress? If anything happens to Xiao Lingtong’s boyfriend, he’ll be lucky to escape with his life, and might even get trampled on by Xiao Lingtong in her mecha. Just thinking about it…

Zheng Shiduo revealed a deeply enraptured expression.

Drip, drip.

A few soft sounds came from Zheng Shiduo’s arm. He grinned, glanced at Wang Jixuan who had disappeared, and looked down at the instrument on his wrist. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

D-level psionic reaction?

And it’s not just D-, it’s a solid D-level psionic reaction!

“Holy crap! He really got stronger, I wasn’t mistaken… wait, can this guy really level up?”

Wang Jixuan’s spiritual sense caught this scene, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Or, let’s just turn off the remote control.

Wang Jixuan continued to watch Zheng Shiduo’s movements and noticed that after the guy finished praising him, he quietly flew towards his back.

“Zheng Shiduo has not released any information to the outside world,” Ling Tong’s voice rang out from inside the helmet.

“Okay, have Xiao Qi keep a close eye on him for me,” Wang Jixuan said simply. “I have always lacked trust in psychics.”

“Okay, be careful.”

“The same to you.”

Wang Jixuan gave a simple reply, hid in the darkness, closed his eyes, concentrated, and opened his spiritual sense.

‘This humble Taoist priest has already achieved a D-level reaction?’

‘So, once you complete Foundation Establishment, you should be close to Rank B? And once you reach Golden Core, you’re Rank A? Then wouldn’t Nascent Soul be able to solo Rank SS?’

Are all the psionicists in this world this weak?

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment.

The classification of psychics is mainly based on the energy level within their bodies.

Their cultivation realm has much more detailed levels, which involve the continuous advancement of one’s life level.

He waited quietly for a long time. The gunfire stopped for about twenty minutes, and the third wave of Blade Beast attacks he had anticipated finally appeared.

As before, waves of Blade Beasts surged out of the mine. This time, there were nearly a thousand Blade Beasts, forming a vast expanse of ‘tire’ as they charged madly toward the camp’s defensive line.

“Level 2 firepower coverage!”

The Mimic Blade Beast has reappeared.

Wang Jixuan moved through the camp like the wind, and the number of crystal cores in his pocket quickly exceeded twenty.

The spiritual energy required for the middle stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm is sufficient!

However, happy times are always fleeting.

Just as Wang Jixuan spoke up for the second time, the psionicists fired flares and began hunting down the remaining mimicry blade beasts that were trying to infiltrate the military camp, when a sharp whistle suddenly came from the sky.

Wang Jixuan looked up.

In the night sky, the starlight was suddenly obscured, and powerful waves of spiritual energy erupted in the air.

A slight tremor came from the ground.

The stone walls near the mine shafts were suddenly smashed open, and more than a dozen ‘drill’ blade beasts, each over ten meters long, rushed out first. Then, countless black tires poured out from the series of holes.

Countless, inexhaustible!

The soldiers behind the defensive line pursed their lips tightly, held their breath, and stared wide-eyed.

The human commander’s roar echoed through the night sky:

“Full firepower coverage!”

The artillery fire illuminated the camp inside and out!

Just in time!

call out–

With a whooshing sound, a black shadow streaked past, almost brushing past Wang Jixuan’s head, and an electromagnetic cannon exploded instantly! The shockwave from the explosion scattered dozens of tin-roofed houses in the vicinity!

“Tedromorphs! Anti-aircraft! Anti-aircraft!”

【Date of the fortress siege/defense battle: 0:00.】
