Blade Technique Training Room.
Inside the enormous screen,
a video of Fang Yi fighting a King Rank monster was playing. The upper-left corner also displayed Fang Yi's thoughts during the battle and how he would respond to different situations.
After all, before they learned that the video would be shown publicly,
someone had contacted Fang Yi and asked him to edit the footage, adding his thoughts on the battle and his tactics.
In the video,
Fang Yi was using a different weapon from everyone else, but his practical combat experience was still invaluable.
Especially when everyone saw the Flying Needles around him.
They darted through the battle at speeds far beyond the sound barrier, like points of Flowing Light constantly weaving around to disrupt and attack the Lizard King.
The Lizard King grew extremely agitated, its fight with Fang Yi thrown off balance, until Fang Yi gradually gained the upper hand.
"Psychic Masters are just unfair. Those Flying Needles are so damn annoying."
"Yeah. I wish I were a Psychic Master too."
Watching how many Flying Needles Fang Yi controlled and how he used them, Luo Feng couldn't help marveling.
I should've asked Fang Yi how to improve my Spiritual Force and get better at controlling objects with it.
The battle in the video had also reached its most intense stage.
Fang Yi held a War Halberd and attacked the King Rank monster, which was as huge as a mountain, while precisely dodging its counterattacks. His movements were incredibly impressive.
Luo Feng was astonished. Judging from the entire battle, Fang Yi seemed able to see through his opponent's attacks.
It was as though he knew in advance what his opponent would do next.
This style of combat, anticipating the enemy's moves, exerted immense pressure on his opponent.
In the end, Fang Yi used the War Halberd to carve through its flesh and grind down its bones. Then he planted a foot on its head and stomped down, snapping its skull. The video ended there.
Many people were stunned by that final, ferocious stomp.
Martial Artists from the Dojo, the Alliance, and the military had all gained a great deal from the video. And the more clearly they understood how terrifying King Rank monsters were, the more unfathomable Fang Yi's strength seemed.
They remembered Hong personally calling Fang Yi an Invincible War God.
Some of them hadn't really believed it, but after watching the battle, they had no more doubts.
The surface of the vast lake.
Monster corpses kept floating up from below.
Blood stained much of the surrounding water and refused to disperse, accumulating until the lake, like blue jade, was tinged with red.
"Whoosh—!"
Fang Yi sprang out of the lake.
Then, from the still-churning water below, another enormous Vortex Water Snake King burst out.
The Snake King opened its jaws wide enough to swallow a giant tanker truck whole. Just a tenth of its enormous body had emerged, yet it was already more than ten meters long.
Fang Yi immediately attacked with his Flying Needles.
Wrapped in Divine Light, the needles flew into the Water Snake's body through its mouth, darting wildly through its intestines and organs!
The Water Snake King felt excruciating pain inside its body.
It didn't even have the strength to charge. It plunged back into the lake from high in the air.
Fang Yi immediately pressed his advantage.
But more than a dozen Lord Rank Water Snakes surged from the surrounding water, their bloody mouths open. The monsters attacked all at once, covering a huge area and sealing off much of the space around him.
Without Fang Yi's Double Pupil Eyes to analyze their movements and let him anticipate their attacks,
even a Beyond War God would have been in for a rough time in that situation.
"Whoosh—!"
Fang Yi twisted and dodged every attack, then plunged into the water to continue hunting the King Rank monster and keep it from escaping.
The Water Snake King hadn't gotten far. With his Heavy Pupil analyzing its movements, Fang Yi quickly locked onto its position.
The Flying Needles kept attacking.
The Water Snake King was eventually unable to resist. Fang Yi immediately stepped onto its rapidly moving scales.
With tenfold Force Output, the terrifying force shattered several of its bones, leaving the Snake King unable to move.
Fang Yi thrust the War Halberd into its body.
Then he used his Spiritual Force to fly toward the surface.
Countless Water-type monsters rushed over, hoping to save their king, but the instant they drew near, Fang Yi glared at them with his Double Pupil Eyes!
Under the gaze of his Double Pupil Eyes,
every creature was struck with a powerful mental attack that shook its very soul.
A single glance across the area was enough to kill Advanced Beast General monsters on the spot.
The Lord Rank monsters were trapped in the torment of an Illusion Technique, their minds continuously scorched.
Now, no monster could interfere with him.
Holding the War Halberd, Fang Yi began cutting away the Water Snake King's hide and harvesting its valuable parts underwater.
More than ten minutes later,
he had completely butchered the Water Snake King.
He used his Spiritual Force to control the haul, then flew out of the lake and descended toward the shore.
Every corpse floating above the lake was worth tens of billions.
If other Martial Artists saw them, they would be so excited they wouldn't know what to say. But money didn't mean much to Fang Yi anymore; it was no longer as precious to him as it once had been.
He could use it to buy materials such as Dragon Blood, bid on rare items at auctions, or modestly strengthen his body.
Fang Yi used his wristwatch to contact the Training Camp staff.
When ten aircraft landed, the Martial Artists and War Gods stared at the enormous number of corpses on the lake, looking as if they'd seen a ghost.
They had never seen so many Water-type monster corpses before.
And they were floating on the lake's surface. Unlike other Martial Artists, Fang Yi hadn't lured the monsters to shallow water by the shore to fight them.
The water was these monsters' home turf.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare fight them underwater.
"War God Fang Yi, about how many corpses are there...?"
After hearing the question, Fang Yi swept his gaze across them with his Double Pupil Eyes and immediately calculated the exact number: 586!
"There are 586 corpses. Including that King Rank Water Snake, that makes 587. Three hundred are Beast Generals, more than a hundred are Elementary Lords, and dozens are mid- to Advanced Lords."
Actually,
quite a few monsters had already fled when they realized things were going badly. Fang Yi hadn't bothered with them. After all, he had a King Rank monster right in front of him.
He didn't mind letting the weaker monsters and Elementary Lords escape.
The King Rank monster was the real target.
The staff immediately began hauling in the corpses. Teams of workers started cutting them up, collecting the parts, counting them, and processing them.
The estimated value kept climbing, from tens of billions to hundreds of billions, then soaring past a trillion. The staff seated at the machines wiped sweat from their brows as they watched the figures rise.
Fang Yi didn't stick around. He had received a message from the Elite Training Camp.
August was only a few days away. The Camp's students would soon come to the Australia Continent for their expedition. Since Fang Yi was already hunting on the continent, he could observe and assess them during that time.
Hong had also sent him a message.
Luo Feng's situation was unusual, and he had displayed exceptional talent. He was one of the rare geniuses.
Li Yao and his wife had also shown signs that they were preparing to head to the Australia Continent. Given the irreconcilable conflict between the two sides, they might target Luo Feng.
Hong had asked Fang Yi to keep an eye on things.
But Fang Yi knew Luo Feng wasn't going to die so easily.
August's just around the corner. Before long, Luo Feng will discover Mist Island and enter the ruins, where he'll meet Babata... Then we'll be entering the universe arc.
Fang Yi turned off the information on his wristwatch.
Then he flew swiftly toward the central rendezvous point on the Australia Continent.
