Seven Beast Tides Quelled!

Inside the cabin.

Lin Yuan sat with his eyes closed, resting.

He was circulating the Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula at full force, restoring the True Qi he had expended.

He had won the battle near Shu Capital beautifully.

But more than half of the True Qi in his body had been consumed as well.

Meanwhile.

The pilot was continuously reporting the battle situation from every front.

"Colonel Lin!"

"The Changbai Mountain defensive line held, but two Second-Tier Martial Artists were seriously injured."

"The Taihang Mountains defensive line is still locked in fierce battle. Colonel Su Qingxue has killed three Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts and is currently clearing out the remaining enemies."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

Su Qingxue was indeed worthy of being a reborn person. Her combat strength was truly formidable.

"What is the situation over at Shennongjia?"

The pilot swallowed, his voice somewhat tense.

"It's bad..."

"Those Late Second-Tier Stage Ferocious Beasts are too cunning."

"Instead of charging together, they spread out and destroyed the firepower positions."

"More than half of the defensive line's heavy firepower has been destroyed. Ordinary soldiers simply can't stop them."

At those words.

A glacial killing intent flashed through Lin Yuan's eyes.

More than an hour later.

The helicopter arrived above Shennongjia's defensive line.

Below.

Lay a brutal battlefield straight out of hell.

The beast tide was like a black ocean, madly battering the steel defensive line.

Gunfire, screams, and the roars of Ferocious Beasts blended into one.

At the foremost positions.

Several dozen First-Order Martial Artists, covered in blood, were holding on with difficulty.

Before them, several enormous Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts were wreaking havoc.

One of them was a Mutant Golden Leopard over five meters long, as fast as lightning.

Every time it pounced, it effortlessly tore several soldiers' bodies apart.

"Colonel Lin."

"We can't land! The fire below is too dense!"

The pilot shouted.

"No need to land."

Lin Yuan rose to his feet and yanked open the cabin door.

A fierce wind instantly poured in, making his combat uniform snap violently.

"About two hundred meters up."

Lin Yuan carried the 860-pound Overlord Spear.

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped straight down!

"Holy shit!"

The pilot's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

A parachuteless drop from two hundred meters in the air?

Was that something a carbon-based lifeform could even do?

In the livestream.

The director had just switched the feed to Shennongjia.

Over a billion viewers witnessed this astonishing scene.

Midair.

Lin Yuan fell at high speed like a precision-guided meteor, trailing a shrill whistle through the air.

Fifty meters remained before he hit the ground.

The True Qi within Lin Yuan's body erupted.

Boom!

A ring of white airwaves exploded beneath his feet.

The terrifying momentum of his descent instantly eased by more than half.

Below.

The Mutant Golden Leopard seemed to sense something.

It suddenly raised its head.

What greeted it was a point of cold light that rapidly grew larger.

"Die!"

Gripping the spear with both hands, Lin Yuan used the terrifying force of his descent and smashed down fiercely.

Sshhk—boom!

The spear pierced straight through the leopard's skull as easily as cutting tofu.

The horrifying force did not diminish.

It directly nailed the Second-Tier Ferocious Beast to the ground!

The earth trembled.

Centered on Lin Yuan, the soil within a radius of more than ten meters surged like waves.

More than a dozen nearby First-Order Ferocious Beasts had their organs shattered by the shock and died on the spot.

The entire battlefield fell silent.

A second ago, the Second-Tier giant beast had been slaughtering soldiers. The next, it had been nailed into a specimen by a spear falling from the sky.

The soldiers on the defensive line were dumbfounded.

Lin Yuan pulled out his spear and flicked the brain matter from its tip.

He turned, his icy gaze sweeping across the remaining Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts.

"Who's next?"

The slaughter began again.

There were many Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts in Shennongjia.

But before a Third-Tier Martial Artist, they were still nothing.

Not a single Ferocious Beast could withstand one strike from Lin Yuan's spear.

Like a phantom, he darted through the beast tide.

His spear swept wide and fierce.

Every swing inevitably took the lives of numerous Ferocious Beasts.

In just ten minutes.

All the Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts had been turned into piles of mangled flesh.

Without the deterrence of high-tier combat power.

The beast tide at Shennongjia repeated the scene from Shu Capital.

All the Ferocious Beasts wailed as they turned and fled.

"Colonel Lin."

"The Mount Wuyi defensive line is requesting support!"

However.

Before Lin Yuan could even catch his breath.

An urgent voice came through the communicator again.

"Fine."

Lin Yuan wasted no words.

Carrying his spear, he boarded the helicopter once more.

That day.

Lin Yuan became Dragon Country's busiest firefighter.

From Shennongjia to Mount Wuyi.

From Mount Wuyi to the Lingnan Mountains.

Wherever danger appeared, Lin Yuan would appear.

For an entire day and night.

He fought continuously across multiple fronts at high intensity.

Even as a Third-Tier Martial Artist, Lin Yuan felt a deep exhaustion.

Yet his achievements shocked the entire world.

More than thirty Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts had died by his hand!

As for First-Order Ferocious Beasts, they were too numerous to count.

Finally.

When the first ray of dawn fell upon the earth.

Dragon Country's official host shouted hoarsely in the livestream.

"Viewers!"

"Dragon Country's seven beast tide defensive lines... have all been pacified!"

"We... have won!"

At that moment.

All of Dragon Country erupted into unprecedented celebration.

Countless people took to the streets, waving national flags and weeping with joy.

Lin Yuan's name was completely deified.

Taihang Mountains defensive line.

Su Qingxue leaned against a large bloodstained boulder, looking at the victory report on her terminal.

Her stunningly beautiful face was smeared with black beast blood.

"A day and a night, racing between several defensive lines..."

Su Qingxue gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with shock.

During the first beast tide in her previous life.

Dragon Country had also won, but at an unimaginably terrible cost.

Several defensive lines had been breached by Ferocious Beasts, and millions of civilians had been killed or injured.

But in this life.

Because of Lin Yuan's sudden rise.

Not a single Ferocious Beast from the seven defensive lines had been allowed to set foot in a human city!

"Is this what a monster is..."

Su Qingxue murmured.

She suddenly felt that the greatest meaning of her rebirth might have been discovering Lin Yuan ahead of time.

Imperial Capital.

No. 1 Conference Room.

The atmosphere was not as frenzied as the outside world. Instead, it carried a trace of heaviness.

Four elderly men sat around an oval conference table.

A thick battle damage report lay beside each of them.

Elder Long rubbed his bloodshot brow, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"The seven defensive lines..."

"Thirteen thousand six hundred ordinary soldiers were killed, and over thirty-eight thousand were seriously injured."

"The martial artist forces lost one thousand two hundred and fifteen personnel."

"More than seventy percent of the heavy artillery has been destroyed, while ammunition consumption has reached an astronomical figure."

As this set of cold figures was reported.

The conference room sank into a deathly silence.

More than ten thousand living lives had been left behind on the defensive lines forever.

And this was only the first beast tide after the Spiritual Energy Revival!

If the Breathing Method had not been popularized beforehand...

If Lin Yuan had not turned the tide...

The casualty figure would likely have been more than ten times higher.

Elder Yu sighed and opened another document.

"The economic losses are still being calculated."

"But the logistical pressure on the major military districts is already nearing its limit."

"Although the materials from Ferocious Beasts can be used, turning them into weapons and resources will take time."

Just then.

Elder Ye tapped the table and projected a top-secret intelligence report onto the large screen.

"Everyone."

"Take a look at the international situation."

On the screen,

several blurry satellite surveillance clips appeared.

In a supercity of White Eagle Country,

dozens of enormous Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts rampaged through the streets.

Skyscrapers collapsed, and flames soared into the sky.

Although White Eagle Country's military fought desperately,

ordinary bullets simply could not penetrate the defenses of high-tier Ferocious Beasts, leaving them no choice but to carpet-bomb them with heavy missiles.

The city had nearly been flattened.

Another clip

showed a small island nation.

Densely packed mutated marine creatures crawled onto the beach.

That small nation's pitiful military force did not even last ten minutes before being overwhelmed.

The entire country had completely become a living hell.

"This is intelligence from two hours ago."

"Currently,"

"thirteen small countries have already completely lost contact."

"Major powers like White Eagle Country and Bear Country have barely stabilized their situations, but they have also suffered heavy losses."

"Just now,"

"more than thirty countries sent us requests for aid through various channels."

"They hope Dragon Country can deploy martial artist units to help them suppress the Beast Tide."

"..."

As Elder Ye's voice fell,

the meeting room fell silent once more.

Elder Long lifted his teacup and took a light sip.

"What do you all think?"

Elder Zhan sneered and slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"They've got some nerve."

"We've lost over ten thousand good young men ourselves, and we haven't even recovered yet!"

"Send troops? Send my ass!"

"Dragon Country people's lives are lives too. We will never use them to fill their holes!"

Elder Yu adjusted his glasses, his tone calm.

"On humanitarian grounds..."

"we can sell them some conventional weapons."

"Of course, they must trade their domestic rare minerals and resources for them."

"As for deploying troops, that's impossible!"

"..."
