Killing Intent Wave Shows Its Might

"Killing Intent Release!"

The palpable killing intent sliced across all the sensed black ants like a scythe.

In the next instant, all the black ants in front of them fell down like weeds.

The widespread tremors on the ground also dissipated at the same time.

Congratulations, you have gained 9 experience points.

"Congratulations..."

Messages about experience points increasing flashed before my eyes like a tidal wave.

Unfortunately, even a large number of low-level black ants won't provide much experience.

At that moment, a look of satisfaction flashed across Lister's face.

It's because the level has increased, and there's also the passive bonus of Robust Soul.

The passive ability of Killing Intent Wave now not only has a huge range, but its attack power has also increased exponentially, and it also has a proportion of true damage.

This is why Lister dared to make such a boast, or rather, why he managed to persuade Major Thorn to accept the offer.

He may not be good at commanding soldiers in battle, but who says he needs to be in command?

This kind of easy task, which would be tricky for the officers of the destroyer A73, was a piece of cake for him.

It can kill Obsidian Fu Stone are not damaged.

Major Thorn, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

Even though he had high expectations for Lister's personal strength, he was only at the eleventh rank and had not even completed his third evolution.

He had already evolved three times and reached the fourteenth rank.

Even he thought the task would be difficult, but who knew Lister would have such ability?

This kind of large-scale, killing intent-like strangulation is definitely a legendary (S-rank) or higher skill.

And judging from what has just been revealed, Lister's strength is definitely more than just A-level combat power.

It's more like... a performance of Overlord Tier.

Thinking of this, Thorn unconsciously gripped his staff tightly, and countless guesses popped into his mind.

Meanwhile, Captain Boren and First Mate Brody on the warship, as well as the ministers of various departments who had been paying close attention, were all shocked by Lister's performance.

"This... this... this is... this is really a recruit who just graduated from basic training?"

If Thorn could see it, Boren could naturally understand it as well.

Martial Class Holder, with just pure killing intent, were able to wipe out such a large area; almost all the black ants died upon contact.

The immediate thought was that it would become Overlord Tier.

At that moment, he quickly opened his email and began browsing through the dense, unfamiliar messages from various military regions.

In any case, this information has already been authorized, and most of it will be handled by the Administration Department Cohen, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Only now did they begin searching for Lister's transfer order.

Fortunately, the transfer order only covered information for the next week, so it was relatively easy to find, and he found it quickly.

"Lister, belonging to the Merrick Civilization, graduated early from the Arcane Recruit Camp according to officer assessment standards, and was awarded the rank of captain. He is now officially transferred to Arcane Army Group A73..."

"Reck, belonging to the Wanda Civilization, Tier 10, Combat Strength B, graduated early from the Arcane Recruit Camp according to officer assessment standards,..."

The two men were transferred from the same order, and Captain Boren immediately realized something was wrong.

The information in the order regarding Lister's transfer is somewhat unusual; it makes no mention of his combat strength or rank.

On the contrary, Reck's rank and combat strength were obvious, just like the other people's orders in the past.

This surprised and delighted him.

The system was switched back, and the special information page of the Arcane Army Group was accessed to search for Lister's information again.

This is a query he made on the headquarters' special personnel system page, using his authority as a major and actual ship captain.

The information was quickly presented to him.

"Lister, rank of Captain, belongs to the Merrick Civilization, graduated from the Arcane Recruit Camp, and currently serves on the A73 small cruiser. (Note: Federation Military District reserve personnel; current permissions are insufficient to display remaining information.)"

The information in the headquarters' database was even less than the information on the transfer order.

Furthermore, it specifically highlighted the Federation Military District's reserve personnel, which even he lacked the authority to access. This was the first time Captain Boren had ever seen such a thing.

So many unusual circumstances can only mean that Lister's combat strength may indeed be as he expected.

Before he could think about it any further, another call message came through.

As the projected call connected, the image on the screen showed a bald, middle-aged man.

He downed his drink in one gulp, a strange, pleased smile on his face. His military uniform was disheveled, as if he had just finished some private business.

From the collar insignia, one can vaguely discern that this is also a major.

"Boren, I'm so sorry! I just saw the call log you sent me."

"Previously imprisoned..."

This was the very person Captain Boren originally wanted to confront. Although his rank was also only major, he was actually the director of the Personnel and Organization Department and the Cadre Section of the Arcane Army Group headquarters.

One of the truly powerful figures at headquarters, responsible for the transfer of all officers within the Arcane Army Group.

He makes all the arrangements for those below the school level, but those above the school level require approval from the ministry.

Before he could finish speaking, Boren interrupted him and asked about Lister.

"Do you remember that new recruit you assigned to my ship, Lister? What's going on?"

"Don't be impatient! That's exactly what I was talking about!"

The bald major looked like Boren was in a hurry, but a completely naked woman was already walking towards him in the scene.

He quickly dismissed the woman before explaining again.

"It was Major Qi, the person in charge of this batch of recruits, who contacted me, saying he wanted to help arrange someone."

"As you know, the recruit camp is directly under the jurisdiction of the Federation Military District, and information won't be transferred to our Arcane Army Group system before graduation."

"Since he was the top recruit in this batch of new recruits, I gave him face and transferred him to your ship. After all... hehe."

Baldy's emotions changed quickly; one second he was pleased with Captain Boren's "generous gift," and the next second his attitude changed drastically.

"Who knew that the very next day, I'd be locked up in solitary confinement because of this!"

"Damn it! I just got out of confinement last night! I was so bored!"

"I just woke up and saw your past call requests."

"How about it? This recruit isn't bad, is he? If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have given him to your ship!"

"Do you really know about Lister's situation? His strength...?"

Knowing that this bald major could be quite unreliable at times, Boren tentatively asked again.

"I know, it's just Overlord Tier combat power!"

"I guessed it as soon as I saw the personnel information after I was released from confinement."

"Damn it! If Major Qi hadn't been so secretive and hadn't explained things to me earlier, I wouldn't have suffered this loss!"

As the head of the personnel department, the bald major suffered from being rushed into making arrangements.

He knew exactly what the situation was like among the officers in the actual army group.

Especially for officers with special authority and backup numbers in the Federation Military District, he guessed it the moment he saw it.

"I got locked up for a few days because of this stupid thing, Boren... you're always the most loyal friend!"

"I understand! Next month! I'll come back to thank you next month when I'm on vacation!"

Even though his heart was bleeding, Major Boren remained outwardly enthusiastic.

At the same time, the thought that an Overlord Tier captain had joined his small warship made him feel that the money was well spent!

Seeing how sensible Captain Boren was, the bald major couldn't help but nod and offer a word of advice.

"Those at the Overlord Tier improve their strength exceptionally quickly."

"That Major Qi is from the Thirty-Ninth Central Army Group. Headquarters doesn't plan to hire him for the time being, so whether you can keep him or not depends on you."

With that, a long leg wrapped around the bald man's neck, and the scene was immediately cut off.

Meanwhile, Lister's battle on this resource planet was far from over.

Before he could relax his senses of the Killing Intent Wave, he casually swung the blade in his hand in several directions.

Several streaks of black light were casually unleashed, one of which swept across all obstacles with unstoppable force, severing all mountains and slopes, with peaks sliding down from different directions.

Ultimately, the black ray traveled dozens of kilometers and wiped out the few remaining black ants of level eight or higher that had survived on the ground.

Merrick Saber Technique represents a qualitative improvement with every strike compared to the past.

Not to mention the multiple passive enhancements stacked up, the power of which made Major Thorn, standing to the side, increasingly unable to comprehend.

The remaining streaks of black light plunged straight into the ground.

A huge knife mark, cutting deep into the ground.

Lister only stopped wielding his sword when he sensed that all the black ants had disappeared.

"Let's go! This area is cleared."

"We need to hurry and come to other areas a few more times."
