668 – We Want To Break Through
Very soon, the second round of battles ended. Just from what Yan Ruoting saw, the number of Proto Dragons obtained by these youths in the Star War Experiment cla.s.s was already enough for them to complete their mission, and they should have completed the mission in excess. There were also some higher rank Proto Dragons.
“Recover for everyone, keep it low-key. Don’t release the phoenix,” Lan Xuanyu said to Lan Mengqin.
Lan Mengqin played the zither once again and a faint green halo spread out to cover the entire cla.s.s, restoring everyone’s energy and stamina. Their soul power had also recovered slightly.
Lan Xuanyu used the remaining time to allow everyone to meditate and recover.
When they returned to the top of the city walls, Lan Xuanyu’s gaze turned to the number of Proto Dragons outside the protective barrier.
There were about 30,000 Proto Dragons in the a.s.sault against the base. They had already lost over 6,000 dragons with two groups that were released previously, but they had no intention of retreating.
According to the current situation, they would have to fight about eight more battles, as the Proto Dragons were not retreating.
Furthermore, the further they went, the stronger the fighting power of the Proto Dragons.
Lan Xuanyu turned to Yan Ruoting, who had returned to the city walls, and said, “Senior, we won’t be partic.i.p.ating in the next round. Everyone is exhausted and needs to meditate and rest.”
Yan Ruoting was taken aback. Exhaustion? Why did she feel that these young people had not expended too much energy? They were still vigorous and lively just a while ago. Although their soul power had definitely been exhausted, they should have no problem fighting another round. Could it be that they chose to be conservative after completing the mission?
“Alright, I’ll let the military know.” She didn’t probe further. The strength of these youths had completely convinced her. Furthermore, they had killed enough Proto Dragons in the first two rounds. Let’s take a look at the other Sky Fighters. They probably didn’t even have a fraction of their total.
The Sky Fighters from the Spirit PaG.o.da and War G.o.d Temple were already looking at them like they were looking at monsters.
“Boss, why aren’t we continuing? Our strength isn’t affected too much!” Qian Lei said excitedly.
Although he had yet to break through to five-ring, mainly because he didn’t have the time, he still felt like he had an endless amount of strength after these two battles. He wasn’t too tired, especially with Lan Mengqin’s group’s recovery skill, he felt that it wouldn’t be a problem to fight another two rounds.
Lan Xuanyu squinted his eyes and said, “We have already completed our mission on Dragon Source Planet. Then, what we want next is quality. The Dragon Source Crystals are of different grades, so the points and military achievements given will definitely be multiplied. We will only gain so much by killing even more low-rank Proto Dragons. Judging from the previous battles, we should be able to deal with the rank 6 and below Proto Dragons. I will have to change my tactics later and focus on killing high-rank Proto Dragons. Also, my Ring of Fate is limited, and the high-rank Proto Dragon corpses have more metal and are worth more. Everyone, rest and recuperate, then I will reallocate the team.”
“Boss, you’re really asking for money even in the coffin ! Shall I give you Fatty Qian’s nickname?” Qian Lei listened to Lan Xuanyu’s words with a very rich expression.
Lan Xuanyu said indifferently, “Brothers, don’t you want to earn money for your Sky Wing ?”
The moment he said that, the students who didn’t have their Sky Wing yet immediately glared at Qian Lei.
Qian Lei quickly raised his hands in surrender. “Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
“We won’t be partic.i.p.ating in the next round. I’ve thought about it. With the safety and the ability to hunt powerful Proto Dragons, we will split into two teams. Zhuoan, you will be in charge of the cla.s.s, and I will leave you with 22 people. The seven of us, along with Old Bing, Dong Hui, and Yutian, will form a team of 10 and decapitate the powerful Proto Dragons. We will only target the rank 6 Proto Dragons. We can even try the rank 7 ones. There were already some rank 6 Proto Dragons on the battlefield in the second round, and there will be more later. We will take action in the fourth round. Everyone, meditate now and try to recover your battle strength.”
“Alright.” Ding Zhuohan gave Lan Xuanyu a thumbs up. His control-type Martial Soul was very strong and he was also a six-ring Soul Emperor. With him around, the safety of the team would naturally be better, especially when dealing with low-rank Proto Dragons.
Lan Xuanyu’s team of ten could be said to be the strongest in the cla.s.s. Especially the seven of them, they had great teamwork.
“Xuanyu, I want to break through,” Tang Yuge said to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu looked at her in surprise. “Now?”
“En, I’ve acc.u.mulated enough. It’s just like a piece of paper that can be easily pierced. I have enough time.”
“Me too, I’ll break through too, big brother Xuanyu,” Yuanen Huihui said.
“Then let’s do it together. Me and Frenzie can’t take it anymore, we really can’t.” Qian Lei leaned over.
Breakthrough on the battlefield?
Lan Xuanyu thought about it and said, “Alright, then you can break through. Mengqin and I will protect you guys, and I will a.s.sist you guys. Just sit next to me. Mengqin, prepare to replenish everyone’s vitality at any time. Eat the Endless Life Fruit.”
“Alright.” Lan Mengqin agreed.
Lan Xuanyu sat cross-legged on the spot while Tang Yuge, Qian Lei, Liu Feng, and Yuanen Huihui sat in four different directions.
Lan Xuanyu squinted his eyes and flung both hands out at the same time. The golden-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s wrapped around Qian Lei and Liu Feng while the silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s wrapped around Tang Yuge and Yuanen Huihui. The connection was completed in an instant.
A faint multi-colored halo rippled out from his chest as his bloodline vortex began to revolve rapidly. Scales immediately appeared on the surface of his body. The left half of his body was covered in silver scales while the right half was covered in gold scales. In an instant, a rich bloodline power erupted like a geyser and transmitted to his four partners through the golden-patterned and silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s.
Qian Lei let out a low roar as his golden hair appeared and his body swelled up once again. It was as if there was a resistance within his body that wanted to resist Lan Xuanyu’s golden-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s aura, but it also became stronger as it resisted. Every strand of golden hair was s.h.i.+ning with a brilliant light, making him look like a s.h.i.+ning sun.
Liu Feng’s body was enshrouded in silver light as pieces of white scales covered his entire body. The silver patterns on the white scales seemed to come alive as they drilled out of his body and turned into extremely sharp silver spikes.
The illusory figure of the Thorn Dragon appeared behind him and bowed towards Lan Xuanyu. Then, a strong silver light suddenly erupted and drilled into Liu Feng’s body.
Above Yuanen Huihui’s head, a ball of white light appeared faintly. The white halo landed on Yuanen Huihui’s body and a light immediately rippled out from his body. The Purple Star Spirit Bow naturally evolved into the Elven King Bow and floated in front of him. Its aura increased instantly. The original five soul rings became six almost instantly and this sixth soul ring was shockingly red. The Illusionary Elven Dragon had existed for countless years and actually gave him the same ability as a 100,000-year soul ring.
Yuanen Huihui was already a five-ring soul king when he first entered the academy. After that, he worked hard on cultivating and had long reached the peak of five-ring. It was only with Nana’s help that he didn’t break through and kept suppressing his realm as he became more compatible with the Phantom Dragon. At this moment, with a single thought of breaking through in his mind, that layer of obstruction was instantly broken and he directly entered the six-ring realm. Also, his soul power continued to soar, and the Dragon Egg of the Phantom Dragon was becoming brighter. The scattered light had already dyed him into a white ball of light.
Lan Xuanyu could naturally sense the changes in his teammates and couldn’t help but feel envious. It would be great if his breakthrough could become so easy too.
