Liang Zhichu activated a finishing move from his Battle Tactics, but its power was only enough to kill five Spirit Corpses. After exhausting most of his strength, the remaining Spirit Corpses immediately rushed toward him.
Fortunately, Gao Ping and Yan Fangfang rushed to his side in time, helping him block the attacks of the other Spirit Corpses.
"Whoosh!"
A surging blaze suddenly erupted on the battlefield, shining so brightly that even the light from Meng Qiuqiu's super flashlight could not overpower it.
Facing the enormous number of corpse ghosts, Mo Guanguan put on her Tier 3 Jinhai Gauntlets, [Phoenix Capturing Kill], and stepped to the front of the formation.
She had to maintain a certain distance from everyone else. Otherwise, the raging flames surrounding her would inevitably burn them.
The crimson flames were as red as blood and as vibrant as her vitality. Behind her, the enormous flames gradually formed the image of a majestic Phoenix.
The eruption of such immense power shocked everyone present.
Even Liang Zhichu and the other two, who had been in the camp for three or four years, had never expected Mo Guanguan's spiritual power to be so formidable!
Talent: A.
Combat Level: 17.
She had only been in the camp for four months, yet she had raised her Combat Level by five levels without relying on a Spirit Source!
She was truly a genius.
"They're just corpses!"
Mo Guanguan slammed her fists together, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
"Stay away from me. Otherwise, you might get caught in the crossfire!"
She crouched slightly.
The next instant, she shot forward like a cheetah!
Liang Zhichu's plan had been to defend while having everyone gradually retreat.
He had never expected Mo Guanguan to take the initiative and charge forward!
Facing the horde of corpse ghosts, she threw out her right fist.
A massive pillar of fire erupted from her fist, instantly engulfing more than a dozen corpse ghosts in front of her and turning them into pillars of flame.
She rotated her hands and formed a tiger-bite stance. The crimson flames followed her movements and rapidly transformed into the shape of a gigantic tiger.
"Roar!"
The flaming tiger stood five meters tall and stretched more than ten meters in length. It opened its enormous jaws, swallowed a Spirit Corpse whole, and burned it to ashes within seconds!
Intermediate Battle Tactics, Tiger Leopard Capture!
Mo Guanguan's ferocity left everyone stunned.
Everyone except Zhao Mu, that is.
Zhao Mu trained with Mo Guanguan every day, and they occasionally sparred to exchange techniques.
Although Mo Guanguan could never truly fight him to the death during their sparring sessions, Zhao Mu knew exactly how powerful she was.
With her powerful talent, Combat Level 17, and the enhancement provided by her Tier 3 Jinhai equipment, Mo Guanguan's true strength, when fully unleashed, gave her a chance to defeat Tian Hu, whose Combat Level was 28!
"I can't fall behind her!"
Zhao Mu gripped his Heavenly Halberd and walked forward step by step.
"Demon Clown, activate! Training Program: [Seven Kills Battle Technique]!"
Zhao Mu had not forgotten his goal.
He wanted to use the slaughter on this real battlefield to improve his Seven Kills Battle Technique and push it toward evolution.
"Qiuqiu, Zhuo Yun, Lu Yan, cover us!"
With every step Zhao Mu took, dark-red Qi surged around his body.
As a Special-type Ability User, his ability manifestation did not possess any natural elemental attribute.
However, the spiritual power surrounding Zhao Mu was not the usual blue. Instead, it was dark red, flowing around his body like a stream of Qi.
Zhao Mu felt that this mysterious power was somehow connected to his physical fitness and the Seven Kills Battle Technique he was cultivating.
Although he could not explain exactly what kind of power it was, he knew that it could make his Battle Intent boil, releasing a domineering aura from deep within his bones—a feeling of looking down upon the entire world!
"Come on!"
More and more corpse ghosts gathered around them.
There were already no fewer than a hundred Spirit Corpses possessing spiritual power.
They were densely packed together, leaving almost nowhere to stand.
Zhao Mu took a deep breath before shouting:
"Let the slaughter begin!"
"Whoosh!"
He swept into the ranks of the corpse ghosts like a whirlwind, his great halberd swinging violently.
A blood-colored afterimage nearly ten meters long burst from the blade of the halberd, accompanied by a tremendous roar of wind.
With a single strike, dozens of corpse ghosts were sent flying, their bodies exploding in midair!
Zhao Mu felt his blood boiling.
The sensation of standing on a battlefield and slaughtering enemies to his heart's content made him want to roar in exhilaration!
Every bone and muscle in his body seemed to tremble with excitement!
Zhao Mu leaped forward and quickly rushed toward the area with the greatest concentration of Spirit Corpses.
He fought freely and unhindered, the great halberd in his hands radiating a terrifying light. The weapon appeared incredibly solid, almost like a blood-colored piece of precious jade.
After reaching Combat Level 10 and becoming a Private, he had gained the ability to project his spiritual power.
However, Zhao Mu tried to use long-range attacks like Shao Han's as little as possible.
That was because the farther an attack traveled, the weaker its power became.
Zhao Mu's [Condense] had already reached the Perfection Realm. Using the blade of his halberd as the boundary, he could extend its effective range to roughly ten meters while maintaining the same power as close-quarters combat.
In order to maximize his gains, he still preferred to fight at close range.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
With the hundred-jin Heavenly Halberd, reinforced by Zhao Mu's spiritual power and [Innate Divine Strength], cutting through these corpse ghosts was as easy as chopping vegetables.
Several Spirit Corpses were attracted by Zhao Mu's movements. Relying on their powerful bodies, strengthened by Yin Qi, they attempted to surround and kill him.
However, the moment their bodies came into contact with Zhao Mu's great halberd, the layer of black spiritual power covering their bodies shattered instantly.
The halberd blade pierced straight through their bodies and into their chests and abdomens.
With nothing more than a slight shake of his weapon, Zhao Mu shattered even the Spirit Corpses on the spot!
Then, Zhao Mu noticed something.
The long-stagnant proficiency of his [Seven Kills Battle Technique] had finally begun to rise again!
[Seven Kills Battle Technique]: Proficiency 482.
...
[Seven Kills Battle Technique]: Proficiency 483.
...
That vague critical point was slowly approaching.
It felt as though something was about to emerge from deep within Zhao Mu's body.
Like a long-dormant volcano, it was gathering an enormous amount of energy, ready to erupt at any moment and spew forth thick, blood-colored smoke!
Zhao Mu and Mo Guanguan had only been fighting for a dozen seconds, yet their performance had already left the Cadet Soldiers from the other two teams completely stunned.
Shao Han stared at Zhao Mu's figure, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
By now, he had also raised his Combat Level to 12 through his family's resources and his own diligent cultivation.
Yet he felt that the gap between himself and Zhao Mu had not narrowed.
Instead, it had grown even wider!
However, his competitive spirit quickly took over.
He gritted his teeth and declared:
"They're just corpses! I, Shao Han, can do it too!"
The others had originally planned to stay together and retreat while defending themselves.
But Zhao Mu and Mo Guanguan's performance encouraged them.
They began to realize that although these corpse ghosts were numerous, they did not seem to be particularly difficult to deal with.
As a result, they were no longer in a hurry to retreat.
They activated their spiritual power, raised their weapons, and charged into battle!
Like Zhao Mu, Shao Han wielded a long saber.
After activating [Endless Cold Art], a thick layer of frost armor formed over his entire body.
He leaped directly into the horde of corpse ghosts!
He charged left and right, his long saber moving with incredible agility.
Every corpse ghost struck by his saber instantly froze into an ice sculpture.
But then, something unexpected happened.
Just as Shao Han's long saber had cut halfway through the body of a Spirit Corpse, the creature suddenly reached out and grabbed the blade tightly with both hands!
Shao Han was stunned.
He tried to pull his saber free, but before he could react, three more Spirit Corpses had already pounced on him from behind!
