Li Feng Take a deep breath and force yourself to calm down.
He walked to Xu Wuyi and looked at the burning remains of the giant tree.
"The core... has been destroyed?"
"Hmm." Xu Wuyi shook the remaining juice on the tip of the gun, "[Undying Flame] will continue to burn until the target disappears completely, no additional processing is required."
Li Feng was silent for a few seconds and suddenly smiled bitterly.
"I finally understand why you dare to take on this mission alone."
Xu Wuyi did not answer. He walked to the wreckage of Rotten Wood Demon and dug out a fist-sized, dark green translucent crystal core from the Tree Trunk that had not been completely burned.
This is the energy core of Rotten Wood Demon and also the mission certificate.
When you hold it cold, you can feel the rich life energy contained in it, but it is also mixed with a damp and decaying atmosphere, and it needs to be purified before it can be used.
He put away the crystal core and looked at Li Feng and Han Qingqing.
"The mission is completed, you can go back."
Han Qingqing finally came to her senses at this moment. She looked at Xu Wuyi with complicated eyes.
Her peers... no, even those younger than her, have reached a level that she may not be able to reach in ten years, or even in her lifetime.
After reaching the level of a martial artist, if you want to go further, talent and resources are indispensable.
If there are neither, then Life Energy Level is likely to make no progress in three to five years, or even go backwards.
Li Feng nodded. "Go back the way you came. After Rotten Wood Demon dies, the ecology of this area will gradually return to normal. There will still be residual poisonous miasma and mutated plants in the short term, but these can be left to us to deal with."
The three of them followed the way they came and exited Putrid Swamp Woodland.
When he left the dank and corrupt atmosphere and breathed the cold but fresh air again, Han Qingqing couldn't help but look back.
Deep in the forest, the dark golden flame is still burning quietly.
It seems to be silently announcing the complete end of a certain existence.
On the way back to the outpost, the three of them were silent.
Li Feng and Han Qingqing are still digesting the impact of the battle just now.
Xu Wuyi is reviewing it in his heart.
Rotten Wood Demon's actual combat power was weaker than he expected.
It may be due to the characteristics of the plant type Star Beast that although it has a high energy level, it has a single attack method and limited intelligence.
[Undying Flame]'s restraint effect also exceeded expectations, almost completely suppressing its regeneration ability.
However, don't be careless.
If it were a more flexible and intelligent Star Beast, or a type with long-range energy attacks, the battle would not be so easy.
Still need to continue to improve.
When we returned to the outpost, the sky was already turning white.
The snow stopped, and the morning sun shone through the gaps in the clouds, coating the snowfield with a layer of pale gold.
"I will send the mission voucher to the college, and the points should arrive within 24 hours." Li Feng was operating the console, and suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Xu Wuyi.
"Classmate Xu, if there are similar tasks in the future... if we need help, can we contact you?"
His words were subtle, but the meaning was clear.
The strength and potential shown by Xu Wuyi are worthy of their active friendship.
"Of course." Xu Wuyi smiled and did not refuse.
This type of task can be said to be extremely cost-effective, so of course he would be happy to take it on.
He did not stay at the outpost long.
Half an hour later, the military hover vehicle took off again, carrying him back to Star Martial University.
In the car, Xu Wuyi called up the personal terminal.
[Task FT-0093: Status completed, pending confirmation]
[Reward points: 1500 (estimated arrival time: within 6 hours)]
He looked at this number and felt very satisfied, but he did not slack off.
He has reserved two months for himself. Until April, he will be busy with various tasks, intending to earn at least 10,000 points, and 20,000 to 30,000 points is not too much.
The amount equivalent to 100 million Federal Credit seems to be a lot, but in fact, those disciples of big Lineage may have spent this amount before the martial arts master.
The step of becoming a martial artist also consumes a lot of resources, and Xu Wuyi is already very economical.
Points are never enough.
But that's the way Martial Artist goes.
Keep fighting, keep acquiring resources, and keep getting stronger.
The hover car passed over the snowfield, and the scenery outside the window quickly receded.
Xu Wuyi closed his eyes and started operating <Heart Fire Refining Spirit> to restore the mental energy consumed in the battle just now.
When we returned to Villa No. 7 Hidden Dragon Garden, it was already dark.
Xu Wuyi did not rest immediately, but took a hot shower first to wash away the damp smell of Putrid Swamp Woodland from his body.
After putting on clean clothes, he sat in front of the console, called up the video of the battle just now, and began to review it.
On the screen, Rotten Wood Demon's huge body gradually disintegrated in dark golden flames.
"[Undying Flame]'s restraining effect on plants Star Beast is stronger than expected." Xu Wuyi concluded in his mind while fast forwarding.
"But this also means that if you encounter Star Beast with high fire resistance, or an opponent that can quickly cut off the spread of flames, the effect will be greatly reduced."
"Great Sun Atop the Mountain The explosion of artistic conception still consumes too much mental power. The shot just now directly consumed nearly 30% of the mental power reserve. The mental intensity must be increased as soon as possible."
He turned off the video and brought up the personal data panel.
[Life Energy Level: Level 34.8]
[Mental strength: level 36.9]
[Current points: 2142]
The 1,500 points for the Rotten Wood Demon mission have been credited to his account, and now he has a huge sum of 20 million Federal Credit in his account.
To the outside world, this is already a lifetime income for countless families, but for Xu Wuyi, it is only enough for his cultivation needs for one or two months.
Xu Wuyi couldn't help but remember that before he became Martial Artist, Qin Family wanted to invest in himself, and the conditions given happened to be 20 million Federal Credit per year.
It seems now that if I had accepted this investment, I might regret it now.
Because this money is not free, if you can join the ranks of Xiantian in the future, all the profits within ten years will be shared with the Qin Family.
Of course, at that time, neither Qin Family nor Xu Wuyi himself expected that he would reach this point in just one year.
After all, he was just a well-known genius in Star Martial University, one of countless geniuses, but now he is the undisputed number one in this session, and his status is on par with Hong Nianyi from the previous session.
One day later.
Xu Wuyi sat at the console again.
His mental state has completely recovered, and his mental strength has even slightly improved due to the tempering of that battle.
Now, it's time to find the next task.
"Anna, filter the task list, the conditions are still the same: restricted to martial artists below level 35, high reward points, short time consumption, area priority Yuntai City and surrounding areas."
The light screen lights up and the task list refreshes.
