On the battlefield, Lin Ye was locked in a fierce battle with the beast general-level giant wolf.

Facing this general-level monster for the first time, Lin Ye threw himself into it wholeheartedly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

He wouldn't gamble with his own life.

"Heh... this beast general's hide is really tough. Hope it sells for a good price!"

Lin Ye squinted, glancing at the Battle Saber snapped in two.

He then drew his spare Battle Saber and chuckled lightly, "Looks like I'll need to get a new blade when I get back to the fortress."

With Dual Blades in hand, Lin Ye launched another attack!

"ROAR!!!"

The massive, blood-red monster fixed its gaze on Lin Ye, letting out a hoarse, furious howl from its throat.

He had already leaped into the air, raising the Battle Saber high, and slashed down at the giant wolf, now covered in wounds.

"Die... now!!"

This strike gathered his conviction and all his strength, a peak blow.

Squelch!

Crack!

The sounds of tearing and breaking rang out together as the two broken blades, following the wounds left before, cut deep into its body...

The beast general-level giant wolf's massive frame froze, motionless.

In its struggle with Lin Ye, it had already lost most of its blood.

Its speed, strength, and reflexes had all weakened to the extreme.

Lin Ye, on the other hand, grew fiercer with each exchange.

His whole body seemed to have endless energy, attacking relentlessly... every strike left deep, harsh wounds on the giant wolf's massive body.

And every time it attacked, he dodged.

"What a detestable human..."

The Gray Giant Wolf's eyes gradually turned gray, losing their once-intimidating gleam.

Even in death, Lin Ye's image lingered in them, as if it wanted to etch this man into memory...

Thud—

Finally, the Gray Giant Wolf's massive corpse crashed to the ground.

[Killed one Junior Beast General. Received fifty Attribute Points!]

The cold electronic voice rang out, and Lin Ye's heart surged with joy.

A full fifty Attribute Points!

That was equivalent to killing over a dozen beast soldiers at once!

"Haah... haah... haah..."

He took several deep breaths, calming his heaving chest, and lightly wiped the sweat from his brow.

By now, Lin Ye was drenched in sweat from head to toe, as if he'd just crawled out of the water.

After a glance at the giant wolf's corpse, he pulled out a pack of high-energy food and downed it with a drink.

The intense battle just now had drained his stamina enormously.

In Lin Ye's current state, even a random High-level Beast Soldier could easily take him down.

[Name: Lin Ye (Junior Battle General)]

[Attribute Points: 50]

[Body Technique: Microscopic Level (Proficiency 95/100)]

[Strength: 8600kg]

[Speed: 104 m/s]

[Spirit: Psychic Power (Gray)]

[Domain: Not Activated (Gray)]

[Clone: Not Activated (Gray)]

[...]

After checking his info screen, Lin Ye went straight to Point Allocation and began a new round of support.

Wherever he went, any monsters that had broken into the position were ruthlessly slain.

Killing with sharpness and decisiveness!

A new wave of slaughter swept across the battlefield.

At the same time, the slaying of the Beast General-level monster also caught the attention of the surrounding martial artists.

The weight that had been pressing on their hearts finally lifted.

Though battle-hardened and accustomed to seeing War Generals fight Beast General-level monsters, they had never witnessed such a victory against overwhelming odds. Their hearts trembled with shock beyond words.

"This kid has boundless potential. In time, he might even reach the level of Hong and Thunder God..."

Speaking of those two pinnacle figures among martial artists, he revealed deep reverence and envy.

"When will our Great Xia military ever have such an expert? It would be worthy of the countless brothers we've lost over the years holding back the monsters!"

Another soldier, leaning on a comrade for support, gazed at Lin Ye with eyes that sparkled.

As if looking at a rising new star among martial artists...

On the watchtower, Li Yunfei lowered his binoculars.

"We need to find a way to recruit him. This is a martial artist on par with a War General, and so young—his future achievements will surely be extraordinary!"

Years of battlefield experience allowed this sharp-eyed officer to instantly assess Lin Ye's combat power.

A talent like this was worth the War Dragon Regiment's effort to win over.

Then, he raised his binoculars again, looking further into the distance.

Five kilometers away, on a hill covered in low shrubs.

A giant wolf, seven or eight times larger than an ordinary Wolf-like Monster, stood silently.

From afar, it looked like a train engine perched on the hillside.

Around it, three medium-level Beast General Gray Wolves flanked its left and right, quietly watching the battlefield.

Even from several kilometers away, he could still feel that savage, brutal aura.

"Is that... a High-level Beast General?" the middle-aged officer said in surprise.

"An intimidating presence!"

Even this colonel, a regiment commander tempered by countless battles of blood and fire, felt a trace of fear facing that High-level Beast General.

Seeing this, his chief of staff, Zhang Biao, suggested, "Regiment Commander, our DF ballistic missiles are in position. How about we just fire one at them and send them to their graves?"

"I think that works!" the middle-aged regiment commander, Li Yunfei, nodded.

"Then send a message to the Command Center, request ballistic missile support—no! Wait!!"

Suddenly, Li Yunfei's eyes widened in disbelief.

Because the scene before him had changed.

Owooo—

As if sensing danger, the gray giant wolf, that High-level Beast General, suddenly let out a long howl.

Like a signal to retreat, the monsters in the distance receded like a tide.

"Whew..."

Watching the retreating beast horde, Li Yunfei let out a long breath.

But before he could relax even a little, another shadow of gloom settled over him.

Just now, it was clear that this High-level Beast General monster had already developed such considerable intelligence.

Didn't that mean future battles would only grow more difficult?

"Xiao Sun, write up a battle summary of today's encounter with the beast horde within an hour, including our unit's casualties among martial artists and soldiers, and the number of monsters killed."

Li Yunfei said to a young staff officer beside him, who looked like a clerk.

"Yes, sir!" The young staff officer adjusted his glasses and nodded in acknowledgment.

"As for that final High-level Beast General, I suggest the Command Center strengthen reconnaissance and defense around all major shelters. I have a bad feeling about this."

Thinking of that highly intelligent High-level Beast General wolf, Li Yunfei's brows were tightly knit.

From the moment he first saw that Beast General, a thin layer of gloom had hung over his heart, refusing to dissipate.

"Regiment Commander, are you worried it might evolve into a Lord Monster?" Zhang Biao asked tentatively.

"Mm." Hearing this question, Li Yunfei's face grew even darker as he nodded.

"A Beast Tide led by a single Lord Monster is enough to destroy several small or medium shelters."

"A Lord... I'll include that in the battle summary and remind the Command Center to watch out for this issue." Zhang Biao took out his notebook and wrote swiftly.

"Oh, and include the performance of that martial artist who joined the battle midway in the summary as well. He's a benefactor to our War Dragon Regiment."

Zhang Biao nodded. "That's a must!"
