Over the next few days, Jiang Li roamed the Fifth Defense Line, hunting Mutant Beasts without pause.
In two and a half days, Jiang Li killed quite a few more Eighth Grade and Seventh Grade Mutant Beasts.
His Lifespan had risen again, reaching 2,076.
His military merit points had also reached a new total. He opened the Donghai Battlefield App and began redeeming them.
[Redeemed Sixth Grade Dragon Scale Blade. Military merit points: -5,000] [Redeemed Awakening Stone. Military merit points deducted.] [Military merit points remaining: 36]
The Black Horizontal Saber had long since become unusable. Lately, Jiang Li had even been beating Mutant Beasts to death with his fists.
He could only do that because his golden vitality was terrifying, and his skin and body had undergone astonishing changes. An ordinary Seventh Grade martial artist would have to be insane to pit his fists against a Mutant Beast's scales.
A Mutant Beast's scales and claws were fearsome. Martial artists below Sixth Grade would never choose to meet them head-on with flesh and blood.
That was why most martial arts below Sixth Grade focused on weapons. Barehanded techniques were rare.
Above Sixth Grade, though, martial artists could cultivate inner power and true qi, then coat their fists and feet with it. That let them fight Mutant Beasts without injuring themselves.
Before long, someone from the Donghai Battlefield contacted Jiang Li and told him to meet them at Donghai Camp.
Jiang Li packed his things, changed into black battlewear patterned with scales, and said goodbye to Li Chaofan. Then he boarded a bus back.
He had spent only a week at the Fifth Defense Line, but his gains had been immense.
Donghai Camp.
When Jiang Li stepped off the bus, someone had already been waiting for him for some time.
