D-Class Energy Reaction [Fourth Update | Please Subscribe]

"Open fire! Open fire!"

"Mimic Beasts have infiltrated! Psionic Special Forces, coordinate with us!"

"Mine shaft direction! Medium-weight Blade Beasts! Level Two Firepower coverage!"

The night suddenly became incomparably clamorous.

His Spiritual Sense carried shout after shout to him.

Wang Jixuan, clad in his Black Suit and carrying a golf bag and Battery Pack, stood on the rooftop of the Supply Station, nearly blending into the darkness.

He was waiting.

Waiting to witness the power of technology with his own eyes.

Noise flooded his ears!

Sparks suddenly appeared on one side of the camp. Countless Rapid Fire Cannons opened fire at once, and dense explosions erupted in the area between the mine shafts and the camp's defensive line!

The heatwave rushed at his face, and the Tin Houses shook continuously.

Under the searchlights, low-tier Basic Blade Beasts came scrambling out of the mine shafts, only to have their bodies blasted apart by the concentrated firepower.

Limbs were continually blown into the air, Bullet Trajectories stretched into straight lines, and drone swarms speeding through the sky dropped Fragmentation Bombs one after another.

Daoist Wang felt the blood in his veins flowing much faster.

And this did not even count as the prelude to war.

Uncle Tai's voice sounded through the helmet earpiece. "These things coming out are all Defective Blade Beasts, meant to drain our firepower. Level Two Firepower coverage is a bit wasteful. This commander is getting impatient."

The moment Uncle Tai finished speaking, great swarms of Blade Beasts suddenly poured from every mine shaft.

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

The pre-laid landmines on the ground detonated one after another, while a rain of bombs kept crashing down from above. The Electromagnetic Cannons set up inside the camp had already activated, rapidly firing shells outward!

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

The Blade Beasts charged without pause. They had no fear whatsoever. Even with only crippled bodies remaining, they still struggled onward. Once they got a little closer to the faction defense line, they began unleashing Mental Shock.

The Main Body of the faction defense line was made of pitch-black steel plates, and an azure glow now appeared outside them.

Scattered Blade Beasts rushed up near the defensive line!

Square openings appeared in the middle of the steel plates, and the gun barrels of hundreds of large-caliber Anti-materiel sniper rifles extended outward.

Dull, concentrated gunfire joined the symphony of artillery fire!

Dozens of Psionicists appeared behind the defensive line. They kept watch in every direction. The instant the line was breached, they would immediately attack, fill the gaps, and salvage the situation. Their most important task was to prevent the ever-pervasive Mimic Blade Beasts from sabotaging the defense line from within.

Such tacit and practiced tactical coordination was experience humanity had bought with blood.

Uncle Tai muttered, "The Vanguard Troops are already this fierce? Teacher Wang, where are you? Don't act rashly. You're Technical Talent now!"

Wang Jixuan replied, "Don't worry. I cherish my life."

Sister Wan scolded him from the other end, "Stop giving random orders, technical talent!"

Wang Jixuan's eyes held a trace of contemplation.

How am I supposed to dig out crystal cores on a Frontal Battlefield this intense? It's not just because there are too many people around. The main issue is that this Daoist can't withstand that kind of firepower either.

Only several hundred Blade Beasts had come out of the mine shafts earlier, yet seeing them all gathered together was already enough to make one's scalp tingle. He truly could not imagine what it would look like if tens of thousands of Blade Beasts charged at once.

They should be covering for the Mimic Blade Beasts.

And these Mimic Blade Beasts...

Could be harvested!

Wang Jixuan leaped into the air and silently vanished into the darkness. He raced in the direction opposite the mine shafts. Without activating a Divine Movement Talisman, he was already faster than when he had fully activated both the Divine Movement Talisman and Divine Movement Spell before.

At the defensive line on the other side of the camp.

Three slender Blade Beasts, their bodies almost transparent and blended into the environment, moved in a line around the outer Armored Vehicles and slowly approached the camp.

They did not notice the human figure ascending and descending nearby, much less that the human had landed on a Residential Building dozens of meters away and was staring at them closely.

These demon beasts are actually rather pleasing to the eye. They're like mantises that have become spirits.

Mimic Blade Beasts did indeed resemble oversized mantises. The blade-like limbs beneath them had degenerated, while the Spikes on their backs had vanished and become two thin Transparent Wings. A layer of Membrane Crystal covered their terrifying mouthparts, and a faint membrane of light wrapped around their bodies.

That membrane of light did not merely make them translucent; it also concealed their Psionic Fluctuation.

Mimic Blade Beasts had two forms. One was this Native State, while the other was their Parasitic Stance, in which they Folded themselves, Drilled into Human Body, and then propped the human body upright.

There were quite a few Mimic Blade Beasts currently infiltrating the camp. Wang Jixuan had discovered more than twenty with his Spiritual Sense alone.

That group of Psionicists had yet to notice this place.

Very good.

He spread the Five Fingers of his right hand toward the Mimic Blade Beasts moving quietly below. The five bronze Bone-Piercing Nails bound to his arm slowly floated up, a faint Azure Light appearing on them.

The books said that the defenses of Mimic Blade Beasts were far lower than those of Basic Blade Beasts.

His palm thrust forward!

The five Bone-Piercing Nails suddenly shot out!

The three Mimic Blade Beasts reacted at the same time!

They had no time to tell which direction the attack had come from and instinctively leaped to the left and right to evade, displaying greater jumping ability than ordinary Blade Beasts!

But it was useless.

The new Bone-Piercing Nails traced arcs through the air and effortlessly embedded themselves in the skulls of two Blade 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 hand into a fist. Spiritual power erupted within the Bone-Piercing Nails, and strands of energy became pointed cones that pierced the most active regions of their Demonic Souls.

This should be their Nervous System.

Wang Jixuan leaped forward, his Left Hand held behind his back, and landed steadily. He was simply Used To flying about in flowing Daoist robes.

He landed without a sound, carrying a Modified Personal Version Demon-Breaking Dagger. Moving swiftly, he cut open the exoskeletons of the Blade Beasts, locked onto the positions of their crystal cores with Spiritual Sense, and used his energy like hooks to fish them out.

He wiped them with tissue, flicked them twice, and stuck Demon Suppressing Talismans on them.

In just over twenty seconds, Wang Jixuan completed the Extraction Surgery for the crystal cores. He opened his Left Hand to recall the Bone-Piercing Nails, infused them with Spiritual Power, and lowered his head to stare at the Mimic Blade Beasts.

Better incinerate the corpses, even if it wastes some Dharma power.

He flicked out three Emerald Talismans, then traced through the air with the Sword Finger of his right hand and wrote the seal-script Character 'Flame'.

Strands of energy were drawn away as all three talismans simultaneously ignited with ghastly white flames. The flames swiftly corroded the Blade Beasts' shells. In only two breaths, they became Blazing Fire that completely enveloped the bodies of the Mimic Blade Beasts.

[True Fire Talisman: Demon Forging Secret Scroll].

This was a slightly higher-grade talisman that could only be made with Raw Pulp Talisman Paper and Blade Beast Blood that had not lost its activity.

Wang Jixuan watched from the corner for a few moments. Once the flames began to weaken, he turned and headed for the next battlefield locked onto by his Spiritual Sense.

Leave as few traces as possible.

With Spiritual Sense at his side, these Mimic Blade Beasts were much easier to kill than ordinary Blade Beasts, and far inferior to that Mutated Blade Beast.

Wang Jixuan had previously been somewhat unclear about how much his combat strength had improved.

His cultivation breakthrough, the forging of new Dharma artifacts, and the increased power of his talismans were all improvements in battle strength that could not be quantified.

But now, he had a rough idea.

With this gun, this Daoist should be able to fight that Mutated Blade Beast head-on. There's no need to rely on demonic arts.

That put Daoist Wang much more at ease.

His figure rose and fell throughout the camp. In only a few minutes, he had obtained more than ten crystal cores, leaving more than ten piles of ash in corners around the camp.

Spirit Gathering Mid-Tier seemed to be waving at him already.

The corners of Wang Jixuan's mouth could not stop rising, and his movements grew ever swifter.

He had always thought Mimic Blade Beasts might be quite troublesome, mainly because Uncle Tai and the others had constantly emphasized how terrifying they were.

But before his Spiritual Sense, their camouflage was utterly useless.

His Spiritual Sense still had more than ten Mimic Blade Beasts locked onto. There should have been more than thirty Mimic Blade Beasts in this group infiltrating the camp.

Wang Jixuan considered it briefly.

Naturally, he wanted to continue happily harvesting crystal cores, but these Mimic Blade Beasts had begun approaching some soldiers' rest areas. They should be going to look for [Human Skin].

There had to be a trade-off here.

Wang Jixuan pressed something on his helmet, put on an angry tone, and shouted urgently:

"Zheng Shiduo! There are so many Mimic Blade Beasts! Near Number Three Electromagnetic Cannon! They're closing in on the tents!"

A few seconds later.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several illumination flares shot into the sky at once. The camp, which had fallen dark because the Electromagnetic Cannons were consuming power, immediately regained its brightness. More than ten Psionicists who had been patrolling and searching the camp swiftly rushed toward the Number Three cannon tower, and the Mimic Blade Beasts were quickly discovered one after another.

Daoist Wang secretly found it a pity... but the battle was more important. He too was enjoying the protection of soldiers and artillery.

The Mimic Blade Beasts had already come in two waves.

The first wave had merely been a probe. Once the Psionicists acted, they wiped them out with ease, around a dozen in total.

And then, the Second Batch of Mimic Blade Beasts perfectly avoided every Psionicist.

Wang Jixuan vaguely felt that there would be a Third Batch of Mimic Blade Beasts later. Based on his observations, the targets of the Mimic Blade Beasts should be these Electromagnetic Cannon towers with their powerful firepower and high firing rates.

Boom boom!

The sounds of fighting also came from the fortress.

That side had likewise encountered similar small Blade Beast Swarms and Mimic Blade Beasts.

What clever demon beasts.

Daoist Wang lunged forward at high speed, avoiding the Psionicists' paths of movement as he went to find two Mimic Blade Beasts that had not been discovered.

He had Just fell there and had not yet had time to attack when the Sound of Breaking Air came from behind him.

Zheng Shiduo, wearing Steel Wings, flashed past at low altitude, howling wildly as more than ten arrows with Explosion Heads shot from his Steel Wings.

The two Mimic Blade Beasts and several empty Tin Houses were instantly swallowed by a Sea of Fire.

Wang Jixuan: ...

This Guy was deliberately messing with him, wasn't he?

Wang Jixuan turned to leave, but Zheng Shiduo had already spotted him. He howled at the top of his lungs, "Boss, wait for me! I have to protect you!"

Wang Jixuan halted and stood on the roof of a Tin House.

Zheng Shiduo fired a few more shots downward, then floated down toward Wang Jixuan. He gave Wang Jixuan two thumbs-up and praised him. "It still has to be you! None of us noticed these guys!"

"Do you need something?"

"Sort of?" Zheng Shiduo pointed at the Explosion Coil around his neck. "My mission is to protect you. Let's move over to the fortress! Once this wave of the offensive is over! If anything happens to you, Ling Tong might swallow me!"

"Thank you, but there's no need."

Wang Jixuan said:

"I didn't bring the Remote Control for this thing."

It was actually in his pocket.

Zheng Shiduo shrugged and spread his hands. "I know you must have some misunderstanding about me, but now I'm a Pure Military Psionicist. Honestly, if I wanted to betray you, I've had plenty of opportunities on the front line. Of course, I would have been Defeated long ago too."

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

He said softly, "Can you command the Psionicists transferred here from the front line?"

"Mm-hm." A trace of pride appeared on Zheng Shiduo's Skinny Monkey-like face. "I'm a Detachment Leader, after all."

"There may be more Mimic Blade Beasts later," Wang Jixuan said. "Assign me the Patrol Mission for one area."

Zheng Shiduo blinked. "Is your Combat Desire really that strong?"

Wang Jixuan casually made something up. "I just want to contribute some of my strength to this war."

"Fine. You're the boss, so you call the shots."

Zheng Shiduo raised his Left Arm. A keyboard and a Projection Screen flicked out from his arm. He swiped his fingers a few times and assigned one Patrol Area to Wang Jixuan.

"That'll do." Wang Jixuan knocked on his helmet. "Don't Follow Me."

Zheng Shiduo wanted to Speak up, but Wang Jixuan had already vanished after several rises and falls.

He opened his mouth.

Weren't they supposed to move to the fortress? If anything happened to Little Ling Tong's Boyfriend, even if he did not die, he would lose skin. He might even be trampled on the ground and ravaged by Little Ling Tong in her mech. Just thinking about that...

Zheng Shiduo revealed an expression of Deeply Intoxicated delight.

Beep, beep.

A few soft sounds came from Zheng Shiduo's arm. He grinned, glanced at the already vanished Wang Jixuan, then lowered his head to look at the instrument on his wrist. His eyes nearly popped out.

A D-Class Psionic Reaction?

And not D-minus, but a genuine D-Class Psionic Reaction!

"Holy crap! He really got stronger. I wasn't mistaken... No, can this guy actually level up?"

Wang Jixuan's Spiritual Sense captured that scene, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Maybe he should press the Remote Control.

Wang Jixuan continued staring at Zheng Shiduo's movements and discovered that after marveling, the fellow quietly flew toward his rear.

"Zheng Shiduo did not Send Out any information," Ling Tong's voice sounded through the helmet.

"Mm. Have Xiao Qi keep a close eye on him," Wang Jixuan said simply. "I've always lacked trust in Psionicists."

"Okay. Pay Attention to Safety."

"You too."

Wang Jixuan answered simply, hid in the darkness, closed his eyes to focus, and opened his Spiritual Sense.

This Daoist already has a D-Class reaction?

In that case, once Foundation Establishment is complete, I should be able to approach B-Class? At Golden Core, I could reach A-Class? Would Nascent Soul mean I could Challenge SS?

Are Psionicists in this world really this weak?

Wang Jixuan considered it briefly.

The ranking of Psionicists mainly depended on the Energy Reaction within their bodies.

The realms of their Cultivation World were much more detailed, representing the continuous elevation of one's Life Level.

He waited quietly for quite a while. The gunfire and cannon fire everywhere ceased for over twenty minutes, and the Third Wave of Blade Beast Offensive he had anticipated indeed appeared.

Batch after batch of Blade Beasts still rushed out from the mine shafts. This time, there were over a thousand Blade Beasts, forming tires that covered the mountains and fields as they charged madly toward the faction defense line.

"Level Two Firepower coverage!"

The Mimic Blade Beasts appeared once again.

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

He had enough spiritual power for the mid-stage Spirit Gathering Realm!

Yet happy times were always short-lived.

Just as Wang Jixuan called out a second warning and the Psionicists fired illumination flares to hunt down the remaining Mimic Blade Beasts attempting to infiltrate the military camp, a sharp howl suddenly came from the sky.

Wang Jixuan looked up.

In the night sky, the starlight was suddenly obscured as powerful waves of spiritual energy erupted overhead.

A faint tremor ran through the ground.

The stone walls near those mine shafts were suddenly smashed apart. More than a dozen Over Ten Meters Long "drill" Blade Beasts rushed out first, and then countless Black Tires poured from the connected breaches.

Too many to count, too many to inspect!

The soldiers behind the defensive line pressed their lips tight, held their breath, and widened their eyes.

The human commander's roar resounded through the night sky:

"Full firepower cover!"

Artillery fire lit up the inside and outside of the camp!

Just then!

Whoosh—

Amid an extremely fast sound of breaking air, a black shadow flashed past at tremendous speed, nearly grazing directly above Wang Jixuan's head. An Electromagnetic Cannon underwent an instant explosion! The explosion's shockwave blew away dozens of Tin Houses nearby!

"Special Winged Dragon! Air defense! Air defense!"

[Until Fortress Siege Battle: 0 hours 0 minutes.]
