119,000 points in total.
Add the 120,000 points from the Vajra Dragon God Art, and that makes 239,000 points.
"Just enough for one enhancement!"
With a thought, Jiang Li immediately clicked the enhancement button.
Name: Jiang Li.
Realm: Warrior General Level (Advanced)
Points: 239000
[Spend 200,000 points to enhance?]
"200,000! What a rip-off! Will it cost 400,000 next time?"
Even a tycoon like Jiang Li couldn't help wincing at the cost.
"Yes!"
[Enhancement successful!]
Name: Jiang Li.
Realm: War God Level (Beginner).
Points: 39000
"War God Level!"
He had finally become a War God, too!
Jiang Li was delighted. He couldn't help seeking out Ling Ling, and once again they plunged into a stormy night together.
The next day.
The second level of Annihilation was delivered to Jiang Li's home.
However, Jiang Li wasn't in a hurry to study it.
Instead, he spent the day accompanying Ling Ling around the Jiangnan City mall, just like a couple of inexperienced first-love sweethearts.
October 7.
This was the day Jiang Li had arranged to meet up with the Fire Hammer Squad at the HR Alliance.
After saying goodbye to Ling Ling, Jiang Li met up with Luo Feng and Chen Gu at the Limit Guild Hall. Together, they took a private vehicle to the HR Alliance Mall.
After Jiang Li, Luo Feng, and the others met up with Gao Feng and the Wei Brothers, they boarded a special train straight to Supply Base 3 in the Eastern Military Region.
"Now that our squad's strength has increased so much, I'd like to take the expressway southeast and test ourselves in City 003 or City 017!"
Gao Feng drew a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
"City 003?"
At the mention of that city number, all the squad members except Jiang Li were startled.
City 003 was considered one of the most terrifying regions in all of Eurasia. It sat at the mouth of the Long River, bordering the ocean, so countless sea monsters could be found in its rivers and lakes.
On top of that, it had once been an extremely prosperous metropolis. Its dense clusters of buildings meant the city was now teeming with an enormous number of monsters. There were countless Beast General-level monsters, and plenty of Lord-level Monsters, too. There might even be a King-level Monster beyond the Lord level lurking there!
Countless top squads gathered there.
City 003 could be called an arena where human martial artists fought ferocious battles against monsters.
City 017, on the other hand, was near Tai Lake, and was a level less dangerous than City 003.
"Captain, aren't you taking too big a step? You might pull something down there!"
Wei Tie couldn't help exclaiming, "I think we should go to a city farther back. How about City 023 Suzhou?"
Most Elite Squads got a little nervous at the mention of City 003. It was a truly chaotic place, crawling with monsters and dangers.
"City 017 Wucheng would work, too!" Wei Qing suggested.
"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't City 003 the goal every martial artist squad strives for?"
Chen Gu and Zhang Ke exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming. "We've got two Psychic powerhouses now, Jiang Li and Luo Feng. If we don't try our luck in City 003, we'll never get another chance!"
"Brother Jiang, what do you think?"
Luo Feng looked to Jiang Li. After all, Jiang Li was the strongest among them now.
Jiang Li considered it. He had now comprehended the second level of Annihilation, and the cost of buying the next level ran into the hundreds of billions of Hanxia Currency. It would take an absurd number of ordinary Beast General-level monsters to earn that much.
Their only choice was to target Lord Monsters.
"Fine. We'll go to City 003!"
Jiang Li nodded.
"I'm with you, Brother Jiang. Let's take on City 003 together!"
Luo Feng said resolutely.
The members of the Fire Hammer Squad immediately burned with excitement.
For a martial artist squad, venturing into City 003 was undoubtedly a milestone!
One day later.
The Fire Hammer Squad traveled from Supply Base 3 to Supply Base 1 in the Southeast Military Region.
"This supply base is more than three times bigger than the one in the Northern Military Region!"
After receiving the keys to their villa, the Fire Hammer Squad looked around the entire supply base and couldn't help marveling.
In terms of both the number of homes and the number of martial artists, this supply base far surpassed those in other military regions.
"Of course!"
Gao Feng was exhilarated. "City 003 is one of the most dangerous cities in the Hanxia Kingdom. It lies at the mouth of the Long River, and countless sea monsters travel up the river to threaten the inland regions."
"The military region here was established to deal with those sea monsters!"
"And martial artists like us are here to deal with the monsters in the city!"
Compared to land, the ocean covered a far greater area.
It was easy to imagine that the ocean must have at least a hundred times as many monsters as the land.
"Langya Squad?"
Wei Qing spotted a five-person squad leaving the supply base fully armed and exclaimed, "That's a top Elite Squad! I heard all their members are Advanced Warrior General Level!"
"So what? You can see War Gods around here all the time!"
Gao Feng was much calmer. "We'll follow the East Ring Expressway, explore the suburbs first, and then slowly work our way in!"
Soon.
The seven fully armed members of the Fire Hammer Squad left the supply base as well.
"Look, it's the Fire Hammer Squad from Jiangnan. They're daring to take on City 003, too?"
"I heard the Fire Hammer Squad just brought in two new members. They're incredible—supposedly they're Warrior General Level!"
"You think being Warrior General Level is enough to brave City 003? Word's spread all over Jiangnan that the Fire Hammer Squad has a Psychic!"
"A Psychic? They're invincible among those of the same level. No wonder!"
"..."
Some martial artists in the supply base chatted and laughed about the Fire Hammer Squad's first appearance in City 003.
Clearly.
The news that Jiang Li might be a Psychic was beginning to spread among the martial artists.
After leaving the supply base, the Fire Hammer Squad cautiously made its way along the expressway. Two days later, they finally entered the area around City 003's Ring Expressway.
"Something's up! Get into the service area!"
Gao Feng called out, and everyone quickly darted out of the woods on one side and into the service area, rushing into an abandoned convenience store.
"Caw! Caw!"
In less than five seconds, hundreds of mutated birds swept across the sky overhead, blotting it out. Even the weakest were Beast General-level.
"Phew, terrifying!"
Watching the flock sweep across the sky in a dark mass, Zhang Ke and the others let out long breaths. "Good thing they didn't spot us. If they'd swooped down and surrounded us, we'd have had no chance!"
"This is a monster gathering ground. It's not just land beasts; there are all kinds of flying monsters and amphibious monsters, too..."
Gao Feng's expression was solemn as he warned them, "Everyone, be extra careful. Stay vigilant at all times!"
"Understood!"
Everyone nodded. If hundreds of Beast General-level birds swooped down, Jiang Li was confident he could handle them with ease, but he couldn't guarantee the others would be safe.
He was powerful enough, but his experience in the Wilderness Zone was far behind Gao Feng and the others'.
"Roar! Caw!"
"Awooo!"
"You beast, come and die!"
"Damn it, it's a monster horde! Run in different directions!"
"Oh, shit, let's go! Go! Go!"
"..."
