New Weapon

Jiang Chuan followed the sound and saw Meng Nanxi's lovely figure.

The red sun slanted westward, casting golden afterglow across the land.

Bathed in the evening glow, Meng Nanxi seemed to have become almost holy.

"Meng the Rich... Great School Beauty, what did you need me for?"

Jiang Chuan remained very polite toward his Top Supporter Sister.

"Teacher Zhao Jiang is here. He said your weapon has been finished and needs you to sign for it."

"It's finished already?"

Excitement flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes as he got out of the vehicle, full of anticipation.

The moment he stepped down, Jiang Chuan saw Zhao Jiang, dressed in a plaid shirt, sitting beside the bonfire and eating roasted wild boar.

"Take a look for yourself. Fourth Realm Pig Demon meat really is delicious!"

Noticing Jiang Chuan getting out, Zhao Jiang pointed behind him at a Wooden Box more than a meter long, then picked up a piece of roast meat and put it into his mouth.

Smelling the fragrance of meat in the air, Jiang Chuan's appetite was stirred as well.

Still, he chose to inspect his new weapon first.

When he opened the Wooden Box, what met his eyes was a spearhead shaped like a longsword, translucent like a clear spring.

"The weapon fragments you brought back contained quite a bit of jade iron and crystal ore. We studied them, extracted those materials, and forged them into the spearhead."

As Zhao Jiang ate, he said, "That way, even if your Spear Shaft breaks, you can still fight with the sword-shaped spearhead instead of being left without a weapon."

"As for the wild boar tusks, we fused them with alloy from those weapons and forged them into the Spear Shaft for you."

"Thank you for the trouble, Teacher Zhao, and all the other teachers!"

Jiang Chuan looked at the brand-new great spear in the Wooden Box, his eyes brimming with delight.

He immediately began assembling his great spear.

"This great spear of yours, especially its spearhead, is made from exceptional materials. You could say it's a Treasure Tool Rough Embryo."

Zhao Jiang paused before continuing, "While the war hasn't ended yet, you should accumulate more Merit Points. When the time comes, find someone to refine this great spear into a Treasure Tool."

Jiang Chuan looked at the nearly three-meter-long great spear he had assembled and activated Wrath of the Firmament.

Silver-white lightning surged from his dantian and flowed into the great spear's head.

The spearhead, clear as water, seemed to come alive, spewing nearly half a meter of silver-white lightning.

From afar, it looked like a fiercely burning Silver White Flame.

"With the spearhead forged from jade iron and crystal ore amplifying it, Falling Cloud Thunder's power has increased by at least thirty to forty percent!"

Jiang Chuan's eyes were filled with surprise as he thought to himself, I wonder if it'll be amplified even further once I refine this great spear into a Treasure Tool?

After disassembling the great spear and placing it back into the Wooden Box, Jiang Chuan sat beside the bonfire and began eating roasted wild boar.

The wild boar meat had been marinated with all sorts of seasonings. Jiang Chuan could only describe it with two words.

Delicious!

The instant the rich, grease-scented juices burst across his mouth, Jiang Chuan thought of the Medicinal Cuisine he had eaten before.

He could only describe it with one sentence.

Medicinal Cuisine was truly awful!

After eating fiercely for more than an hour, Jiang Chuan looked at his slightly bulging stomach, felt the Transcendent Factors filling it, and returned to the driver's cabin to cultivate once more.

After refining the wild boar meat in his stomach, Jiang Chuan swallowed his second White Cloud Bone Refining Pill.

Two-colored spiritual power mixed with medicinal strength, spreading from his dantian through the bones of his lower body. Like flowing tides, it wrapped around each section of bone.

The bones in his thighs, calves, feet, and many other parts gradually turned golden.

When Jiang Chuan finished tempering the final toe bone in his right foot, golden light burst from every bone in his body.

He resembled a solemn Divine Statue, sacred beyond measure.

At the same time, powerful strength surged from within his body.

Jiang Chuan felt his strength rise by another great margin.

"Before Skin Tempering, my strength had already surpassed a thousand jin. I wonder how many jin it is now?" Jiang Chuan was extremely curious.

Ever since he had successfully tempered his skin, he had first been busy entering the Elite Class, then cultivating divine abilities, before being sent by the school to the front lines.

He had never had the time to find a Punching Power Tester and test his strength again.

He glanced at his phone and saw that it was already 12:08. Thinking that he still had another extermination mission tomorrow, Jiang Chuan lay down to rest.

The next day, after Jiang Chuan and the others had breakfast and restocked their ammunition, they continued carrying out extermination missions.

That day's extermination mission went exceptionally smoothly. Jiang Chuan and the others searched their assigned area again and again before finally finding a Third Realm Tiger Demon.

Then Song Zhiyi used a Type 37 Anti-Material Sniper Rifle to blow the Tiger Demon's head apart with a single shot.

After returning to camp that evening, Qu Shi announced a new mission.

After two days of sweeping, the demonic beasts in this area had already been cleared out.

At the same time, the defensive positions had been completed. Starting tomorrow, they would continue advancing in the direction of Changcheng.

Qu Shi also reminded everyone to be careful.

Previously, the White Peacock Demon King had transferred away many Avian Demonic Beasts, which was why their positions had not suffered attacks from Avian Demonic Beasts.

But the area they would attack next was no longer territory occupied by the White Peacock Demon King.

Once fighting began tomorrow, they would very likely face attacks from numerous Avian Demonic Beasts.

The military then delivered a large number of Great Xia Type 99 General Purpose Machine Guns and tripods to Jiang Chuan's position.

The Great Xia Type 99 General Purpose Machine Gun could pose a certain threat to low-flying targets within a thousand meters and could barely be considered an anti-air weapon.

At the same time, Jiang Chuan saw that many Type 825 Six-Barreled Anti-Aircraft Guns had appeared at the foremost defensive positions.

"With so many anti-aircraft guns, tomorrow looks like it'll be a major battle!" A trace of gravity appeared in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

"After all, the one we'll face next is the Sparrow Demon King."

Meng Nanxi gazed into the distance. "The White Peacock Demon King's territory is relatively close to Nandu City, and Nandu City has launched quite a few attacks against it."

"Although the White Peacock Demon King survived, its subordinates suffered heavy losses."

"The Sparrow Demon King is different. Nandu City has never clashed with it, and the number of demonic beasts under its command far exceeds that of the White Peacock Demon King."

"Let's hope everything goes smoothly."

The gravity in Jiang Chuan's eyes deepened further.

However...

Once the battle began the next day, what happened greatly exceeded Jiang Chuan's expectations.

"478 Combat Team, use artillery to cover the area at horizontal coordinate 76 meters, vertical coordinate 24 meters. Rapid-fire ten rounds."

"479 Combat Team, use artillery to cover the area at horizontal coordinate 19 meters, vertical coordinate 73 meters. Rapid-fire ten rounds."

"..."

"503 Combat Team, use artillery to cover the area at horizontal coordinate 23 meters, vertical coordinate 72 meters. Rapid-fire ten rounds."

Hearing Qu Shi's voice coming through the Military Radio, Jiang Chuan and the others immediately adjusted their cannon muzzles, loaded ammunition, and pulled the firing cords.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Thousands of cannons arranged in staggered ranks fired all at once.

In the blink of an eye, the dense forest before Jiang Chuan became a sea of fire.

Once the ten rounds had been fired, Jiang Chuan discovered in surprise that aside from miserable, shrill cries, he did not see hordes of demonic beasts surging toward them.

"The White Peacock Demon King went after that guy called Chu Shengjie, so it didn't organize the demonic beasts to counterattack."

Kang Bo looked bewildered. "Why isn't the Sparrow Demon King organizing the demonic beasts to counterattack? Did it get its period?"

"Do demonic beasts get periods?"

"Why wouldn't demonic beasts get periods?"

Jiang Chuan: "..."

No, other people only return their knowledge to their teachers after graduating.

You haven't even graduated yet—how are you already returning your knowledge to your teacher?

Just then, Qu Shi's voice came through the Military Radio once more.

"Attention, all combat teams."
