Beastlike Slaughter Was Sometimes More Inspiring Than a Rout

Given this approach, it would be strange if the higher-ups didn't send Lin Kai there for mental training.

The war was over. After dismembering the Mutated Flood Dragon's body, they used Zhang Hai's Space Superpower to traverse spatial nodes and return to the Imperial Capital Spirit Energy Bureau.

Cain the battle with the Mutated Flood Dragon. He only relaxed after returning to the Spirit Energy Bureau, and fatigue instantly overwhelmed him.

So, I'll go back and rest now.

Kun Hu and Xue Wu were in a similar situation, not only because they were protecting everyone and preventing them from being injured in the aftermath of Lin Kai's battle with the Mutated Flood Dragon, but also because they were worried about Lin Kai.

He wasn't just passing through the gates of the Yama Hall; he was also testing the nerves of both of them.

So, even though there was no fighting, they planned to go back and rest to calm their nerves, which had been constantly agitated by Lin Kai's reckless actions.

At the same time, videos of the battle in Jiang City were also uploaded to the platform.

Neither the initial carpet bombing of Jiang City against the Mutant Sea Beast tide nor the appearance of the Mutated Flood Dragon triggered by the use of small Negasonic Teenage Warhead evoked much emotion in them.

It was rather surprising that First Sequence level Mutated Flood Dragon was hiding beneath the tsunami. If Jiang City hadn't used a small Negasonic Teenage Warhead, it's hard to say what would have happened.

That alone is not enough to evoke too much emotion in them, because they already know the process and outcome of the war through written records. Now, their main focus is on Lin Kai's performance in this war.

They need to build momentum for Lin Kai and Kun Hu's new team, giving them a reputation no less than that of Qin Tian, Huo Yu, and Chen Bing, which naturally requires them to demonstrate corresponding strength.

Then, they witnessed the battle between Lin Kai and the Mutated Flood Dragon.

The battle lasted a long time, and they watched it for a long time, but the process was somewhat different from what they had imagined.

Lin Kai did not summon the Black Rhino Armor at the beginning of the battle or after the battle had progressed to a certain point. Instead, he fought the Mutated Flood Dragon to the very end in his form as Esper.

It was a battle almost like that of wild beasts, filled with blood and cruelty.

During this process, although they seemed evenly matched, Lin Kai was actually suppressed by the Mutated Flood Dragon. However, the difference in strength was not significant, which allowed the dragon to maintain its dominance for such a long time.

If the Mutated Flood Dragon hadn't used its Reverse Scale at the last moment, forcing Lin Kai to summon the Black Rhino Armor, the battle could have lasted even longer.

The furrowed brows relaxed as Lin Kai suppressed the Mutated Flood Dragon after summoning the Black Rhino Armor.

Tell me about it.

The elderly man, seated in the most prominent position, addressed the crowd.

"Although this battle wasn't the crushing defeat we expected, this beast-like fighting might better showcase Lin Kai's strength."

One of the men said calmly.

"Summoning the Black Rhino Armor could certainly end the battle in the shortest amount of time, but what did the people see in this battle?"

"The Crest of Courage to face death? The greatness of selflessness?"

"No, it's not just the power of the Black Rhino Armor."

"But there are only five sets of armor, and four of them have already found owners. The war is mostly fought by people with pure Esper, rather than those who have received some kind of mysterious blessing."

He didn't say anything more, but everyone understood what he meant.

If it's just a simple crushing victory, then while it might demonstrate their strength, it's not the strength of the individuals themselves, but rather the strength of their armor. They won't gain anything useful from the battle.

Although Lin Kai only summoned the Black Rhino Armor at the very end of the battle, his previous fight with the Mutated Flood Dragon revealed something they hadn't considered before.

True strength doesn't necessarily have to be demonstrated through crushing defeats; sometimes, this kind of beast-like battle is even more inspiring.

In addition, there is that indomitable spirit, which is equally rare and valuable.

In a sense, although the battle unfolded differently than they had anticipated, the outcome was better than they had expected.

"However, Lin Kai was indeed somewhat engrossed this time."

"I'd rather he be crushed by the armor than die because he didn't want to rely on the armor's power."

Although it led to a better outcome, it doesn't mean he approves of Lin Kai's actions.

Giving up one's absolute advantage and placing oneself in a dangerous situation, teetering on the edge of death, is absolutely not something a rational warrior should do.

There are very few warriors at the First Sequence in Huaxia; outside of sects, there are only a handful. Perhaps more will emerge in the future, but that doesn't mean they will tolerate the death of a First Sequence.

"Geniuses always have some quirks."

"Being belligerent, bloodthirsty, and thrill-seeking are nothing compared to this."

"However, Lin Kai's actions are indeed problematic. Unless he has a healing ability user like Ye Feng by his side who can repair his injuries at any time, his actions are too dangerous."

As Xue Wu and Kun Hu had predicted, Lin Kai ultimately needed to undergo further mental training.

It's normal for geniuses to have quirks, but these quirks shouldn't put them in dangerous situations.

As the summoner of the Black Rhino Armor, Huaxia did not want him to die because of his own recklessness.

Meanwhile, videos of Jiang City also circulated online.

"A familiar high-definition version; I wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't done with professional equipment."

"Just post it on the official website next time. Who are you trying to fool by pretending you secretly filmed it?"

"You're not even willing to pretend from a passerby's perspective."

"."

The video was only a few seconds long when the shifts in emotion and position were enough to make viewers' lips twitch slightly.

The way you pretended to be a passerby and secretly leaked the video seems a bit too fake. Even if you don't fake anything else, you could at least fake the video's clarity.

Which phone can match your image quality?

Next time, just release it on the official website. What can they say then?

After the symbolic complaint, everyone watched the video excitedly.

The video is quite long. It starts from the Sea Beast Tide, and the Spirit Energy Bureau arranges for the evacuation of the people. Filming begins once they enter the shelter, and this part is criticized by the viewers.

What passerby would be in the mood to take photos if they weren't in a shelter? If you're going to fake it, at least pretend a little. Are you really not pretending at all?

Regardless of whether they're faking it or not, the longer the video, the more excited they become.

From the orderly entry of civilians into the shelter, to the arrival of those with Esper to provide support, and then... um?

Many people rubbed their eyes, feeling like they saw something wrong, but after rubbing, the same scene remained.

They were completely bewildered as they watched the Esper in the video, some sitting, some lying down, some idly playing cards as they went to provide support.
