Swallowed Star: Inverse Heaven Comprehension, Joins Chat Group

A total of 119,000 points.

Adding the 120,000 points for the Dragon God Art, that made 239,000 points.

"Just enough for one enhancement!"

Jiang Li's mind stirred, and he immediately tapped the enhance button.

Name: Jiang Li. Realm: Warrior General Level (High) Points: 239,000

[Spend 200,000 points to enhance?]

"200,000! Highway robbery! Next time it'll be 400,000, won't it?"

Even a spendthrift like Jiang Li couldn't help but wince at the cost.

"Yes!"

[Enhancement successful!]

Name: Jiang Li. Realm: War God Level (Low) Points: 39,000

"War God Level!"

He was finally a War God too!

Jiang Li's heart leaped with joy, and he couldn't resist finding Ling Ling, plunging into another torrent of mud and sea, surging waves and crashing breakers.

The next day.

The second layer of Annihilation was delivered to Jiang Li's home.

However, Jiang Li didn't rush to comprehend it.

Instead, he spent the day accompanying Ling Ling on a shopping trip through Jiangnan City's mall, like a pair of shy first-time lovers.

October seventh.

That day was the one Jiang Li had agreed with the Fire Hammer Squad to meet up at the HR Alliance.

Bidding farewell to Ling Ling, Jiang Li gathered with Luo Feng, Chen Gu, and the others at the Limit Guild Hall, taking a private car to the HR Alliance mall.

After Jiang Li, Luo Feng, and the others met up with Gao Feng and the Wei Brothers, they directly boarded a special train heading to the Eastern Military Region Supply Base 3.

"Now that our squad's strength has shot up, I want to take the southeast highway and try our luck in City 003 or City 017!"

Gao Feng took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"City 003?"

Hearing that city number, aside from Jiang Li, the other team members were all startled.

City 003 could be considered one of the most terrifying zones in the entire Eurasian region. It was at the mouth of the Long River, bordering the ocean, so a massive number of sea monsters lurked in the rivers and lakes.

On top of that, it had once been an extremely prosperous metropolis. The dense clusters of buildings had driven the monster count in the entire city to a terrifying number—not to mention the countless Beast General Level monsters, there were plenty of Lord Level monsters too, and possibly even King Level monsters beyond Lord Level lurking there!

A flood of top-tier squads gathered there.

In short, City 003 was a gladiatorial arena where human martial artists and monsters fought a brutal war.

City 017, on the other hand, was near Lake Tai, with a danger level a notch lower than City 003.

Chapter 33: City 003, One Slash Instant Kill

"Captain, aren't you taking too big a step? Easy to pull something down there!"

Wei Tie couldn't help but exclaim: "I say we go for a city further back? How about City 023 Suzhou?"

Most elite squads felt a bit timid at the mention of City 003—it was a true den of dragons and snakes, where giant crocodiles ran rampant.

"City 017 Wucheng works too!"

Wei Qing suggested.

"What's there to be afraid of? Which martial artist squad doesn't aim for City 003 as their goal?"

Chen Gu and Zhang Ke exchanged glances, both with light shining in their eyes: "Now that we have two Psychics like Jiang Li and Luo Feng, if we don't go take a crack at City 003, we'll never have a chance in this lifetime!"

"Brother Jiang, what do you think?"

Luo Feng looked at Jiang Li, since he was now the strongest.

Jiang Li pondered inwardly. He had now comprehended the second layer of Annihilation. Buying the next level would cost hundreds of billions in Hanxia Currency, and an ordinary Beast General Level monster would need to be hunted countless times to earn that huge sum.

His target could only be set on Lord monsters.

"Alright, let's go to City 003!"

Jiang Li nodded.

"I'll follow Brother Jiang. Let's go take on City 003 together!"

Luo Feng's face showed determination.

The Fire Hammer Squad's blood instantly ran hot.

Venturing into City 003 was definitely a milestone for any martial squad!

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 out over the entire base and couldn't help but marvel.

Whether in terms of housing or the number of martial artists, this base far surpassed any other military region's supply station.

"That's only natural!"

Gao Feng's heart surged with excitement: "City 003 is one of the most dangerous cities in the Hanxia Kingdom. The Long River's outlet means countless sea monsters threaten the inland along its course."

"This military region was set up specifically to deal with those sea monsters!"

"And we martial artists are here to handle the monsters inside the city!"

Compared to land, the ocean covered a far greater area.

One could only imagine that the number of sea monsters was at least a hundred times that of land monsters!

"Langya Squad?"

Wei Qing spotted a five-man squad fully armed and leaving the supply base, surprised: "That's a top-tier elite squad. I heard all their members are high-level Warrior Generals!"

"So what? Over here in City 003, you can even run into War Gods regularly!"

Gao Feng was much calmer: "We'll advance along the East Ring Expressway, first explore the suburbs, then push in slowly!"

Soon.

The fully armed Fire Hammer Squad of seven also left the supply base.

"Look, it's the Fire Hammer Squad from Jiangnan. They dare to take on City 003 too?"

"I heard the Fire Hammer Squad added two new members. They're strong—apparently at the Warrior General level!"

"You think being at the Warrior General level is enough to take on City 003? Word from Jiangnan is that the Fire Hammer Squad has a Psychic!"

"A Psychic? That's an undefeated existence at the same rank. No wonder then!"

"..."

Some martial artists in the supply base laughed as they discussed the Fire Hammer Squad making their debut in City 003.

Clearly.

The news that Jiang Li was suspected to be a Psychic had started spreading through the martial artist circles.

Leaving the supply base and following the highway, the Fire Hammer Squad advanced cautiously for two days before finally entering the ring road area of City 003.

"Something's up. Quick, into the service area!"

Gao Feng called out, and everyone swiftly darted from the roadside trees into the service area, charging into an abandoned convenience store.

"Caw! Caw!"

In less than five seconds, the sky was blanketed by hundreds of mutated birds flying overhead, the weakest among them at the Beast General level.

"Whew, terrifying!"

Watching the dark mass of birds sweep across the sky, Zhang Ke and the others let out a long breath of foul air: "Good thing they didn't spot us. If they'd swarmed us, it would've been nine deaths and one life!"

"This is a monster hotspot. Not just land beasts, but all kinds of birds and amphibious monsters too..."

Gao Feng's face was grim as he spoke with utmost seriousness: "Everyone must be extra careful, and then careful again!"

"Understood!"

Everyone nodded. If hundreds of Beast General-level birds were to descend on them, Jiang Li was confident he could handle it calmly, but he couldn't guarantee the safety of the others.

Though he was strong enough, his experience in the wilderness was far inferior to Gao Feng and the rest.

"Roar! Caw!"

"Howl!"

"Bastards, die!"

"Damn, it's a beast horde. Scatter!"

"Oh shit, let's go! Go! Go!"
