"Forget about drills, but exchanging cultivation experiences is fine," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
" Taiji, you're really Treasure Refiner? Hahaha... That's great! In the past, when we obtained precious materials in the Outer Domain Battlefield, we couldn't use them. We could only take them back to the base and exchange them for treasures in the Military Merit System. But this was not only inefficient, but we also might not be able to find treasures that suited us."
"With you, our team's strength will reach a new level!" Wuerdi said happily.
Although he is Immortal God, the World Lord and the Blood God in his team are brothers who have fought alongside him for tens of thousands of years, so naturally he hopes that their strength is as great as possible.
Zhang Junbao's addition is like equipping everyone in the team with powerful treasures: armor, weapons, and even Domain Type treasures—equipment that is incredibly precious on the Outer Domain Battlefield.
In the Outer Domain Battlefield, the strongest are mainly martial artists, Mental Master Controller, and Illusionist. People from cultivation schools such as apothecaries and beast tamers are extremely rare. It is very difficult for cultivators of these schools to achieve success, but once they do, they become extremely formidable.
As for Treasure Refiner, they are extremely rare.
Although every team longs for the addition of Treasure Refiner, the actual possibility is so low as to be negligible. Not to mention that Treasure Refiner need to accumulate a lot of experience and practice with countless precious materials to grow, Treasure Refiner also have extremely high requirements for their talent in the Law. If their Law Comprehension is too low, they will not be able to understand the Law Secret Patterns contained in the materials. Even if they are given a material containing the power of the Law, they will not know where to start.
Talent, mentorship, and wealth—all three are indispensable to becoming a qualified Treasure Refiner.
Without talent, one can only stare blankly at a pile of materials, completely unable to understand how to forge them, how to combine different materials, or what kind of treasures to create.
Regardless of the specific path of spiritual practice, the importance of a master is paramount. Trying to figure Stone out on your own is far more risky than successful; the chances of accidentally falling into an abyss are far greater than the chance of success.
Some powerful materials are not so gentle. For example, energy treasures like the Fire God Source Crystal. If you use them to forge treasures, you might not only fail to forge the treasure, but you might also be blown up.
Having an excellent teacher to guide you is something that countless people in the universe dream of.
As for wealth, Treasure Refiner are all nurtured by precious materials. Before successfully refining a treasure, they all need to invest a lot of wealth and resources. Therefore, Treasure Refiner are all extremely wealthy, because without massive financial support, it is impossible to become Treasure Refiner.
For many reasons, the likelihood of Treasure Refiner appearing on the Outer Domain Battlefield is extremely low. Their lives are too precious, and ordinary Treasure Refiner would never come to a place like the Outer Domain Battlefield to die. If they want any materials, they only need to issue a mission, and countless warriors will rush to deliver them to them. They don't need to search for them themselves.
The way that Treasure Refiner comprehend the Law is more by analyzing the Law Secret Patterns when refining treasures, and comprehending the mysteries of the Law from them. They do not need to gain Law Comprehension through fighting, which further reduces the possibility of Treasure Refiner appearing on the Outer Domain Battlefield.
With the Treasure Refiner, if the Blood God Squad's equipment is damaged in the Outer Domain Battlefield, or if they obtain rare materials, Zhang Junbao can use his ultimate skill to transform them into weapons or armor, greatly enhancing the squad's survivability and combat power.
With Zhang Junbao, the Blood God Squad essentially had a mobile supply station.
" Taiji, what level of Treasure Refiner are you?" Even the Blood God turned to ask Zhang Junbao, his eyes filled with anticipation.
He never expected that the team member he recruited would be an extremely rare Treasure Refiner.
" World Lord Level weapons and equipment are a piece of cake."
World Lord Level weapons are typically Tier 5 weapons crafted using E-class materials, including Origin Force weapons used by martial artists and psychic weapons used by Spirit Reader.
This level of treasure cannot be created simply by relying on the materials themselves. It requires Treasure Refiner to refine and forge the materials, and then engrave different secret patterns on them before it can be formed.
For example, if a weapon used by Flame World Lord is engraved with the secret runes of the Law of Fire, and resonates with the World Lord's own Law Comprehension, it can provide the World Lord with a more powerful Combat Power Amplitude, thus causing his combat power to soar.
If a World Lord's Body Amplitude of the Law is 50 times, and the Law Secret Patterns within a weapon can also provide 50 times the amplification, then he can unleash 200% of his combat power. A good weapon is extremely important to a strong person.
Back then, Hu Yanbo, who possessed Immortal strength, had no inheritance and relied on his own exploration to barely create Third Order mid-level Sky-Escaping Shuttle, which was still somewhat inferior to the standard weapon Arc Blade Disc in the universe.
However, with the extensive knowledge and guidance from the Virtual Universe Company over the years, coupled with his previous collaboration with Iron Fire King in forging the second and third level cores of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, Zhang Junbao is confident that he can forge even a sixth-tier weapon entirely on his own.
The reason he told Blood God and the others that he could forge fifth-tier World Lord Level weapons was that he didn't want to reveal too much information.
Even so, it still deeply shocked them.
The reason why E-class materials can become the main materials for the weapons of World Lord is that it is extremely difficult for attacks from World Lord to damage E-class materials.
Therefore, those who can forge weapons at the World Lord Level are generally Immortal God.
Since Zhang Junbao dared to guarantee that he could forge a World Lord Level weapon, it meant that he had at least mastered the method of destroying E-class materials. Otherwise, how could he talk about forging weapons if he couldn't even melt the materials?
"As expected of a genius with a ten billion military merits, even I am deeply impressed by his methods!" Wuerdi exclaimed. He was also very pleased that the Blood God had found a genius for the team, a genius who might bring about a breakthrough for the team in the future.
After getting to know the group, Zhang Junbao submitted his application and officially became a member of the Blood God Squad.
The Blood God Squad members are: Captain Blood God, who possesses strength comparable to Marquis Immortal; former captain and current vice-captain, the Immortal Army Lord Wuerdi;
Meipulu, possesses the strength of World Lord General and is capable of withstanding attacks from Immortal God.
The flamboyant Flame King, the golden-haired Jier, the green-haired Gumu, and the cyan-haired Piaofeng.
It is said that the four of them possess a combined secret technique, enabling them to rival ordinary Immortal God.
Now, with the addition of Zhang Junbao and Muxing, a ten-person team has been formed, which is exactly the configuration of a regular team.
After a day of rest, Zhang Junbao received a message from the Blood God Squad Blood God and went to a large hall to prepare for the next mission.
"This is the departure hall. There are many private rooms available for each team to discuss battle plans. I've already requested a private room. Please follow me."
Upon entering the hall, the Blood God's previous cold demeanor vanished, replaced by a serious expression, yet he did not hold back his words.
"The captain's getting serious again. He only really speaks when preparing for a mission; he rarely says anything normally." Piaofeng walked beside Zhang Junbao, explaining some details about the Blood God Squad to him.
"Once the mission starts, the team leader transforms from a quiet, cool guy into a talkative, nagging old lady. It's really hard to get used to!"
"Be content. I think he didn't want anyone to get into trouble, so he forced himself to perfect every detail before the mission started."
"Having a captain like this is our good fortune." Zhang Junbao looked at the Blood God, whose style had suddenly changed, and was initially a little unaccustomed to it.
However, seeing him meticulously checking every detail for each team member shows how much he cares about everyone on this team.
"That's because you don't know. Before the captain joined the team, we were just a second-rate team. Although the old captain was Immortal God, he was too lazy. He only wanted to lead us to hunt down some World Lord teams and use a lot of ordinary World Lord points to help us complete our military merit missions."
"Since the captain arrived, our style has changed, and everyone's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Although we are still somewhat threatening, the increase in strength is real." Piaofeng recalled the days when he was trained to the point of wanting to live or die by the Blood God, but now he was very grateful to him.
Without the Blood God's training, he might have already died during one of his previous missions against Immortal God.
In the Outer Domain Battlefield, human life is the least valuable thing. How many people would care about a few mere World Lord?
The mortality rate in other Outer Domain Battlefield is around 95%, which is already ridiculously high. However, in the Ninth Battlefield, the mortality rate is as high as 99%, with only one veteran surviving out of every hundred new recruits. In such a terrifying war with an extremely high mortality rate, the fact that the Blood God Squad has survived to this day is definitely not just due to luck; it can be said that the role played by the Blood God is indispensable.
"You think the current Outer Domain Battlefield is the most dangerous? You're wrong!" Piaofeng said.
"Oh? Is there anything more dangerous than this?"
"That's right. As far as I know, there is a large-scale inter-clan war every 1,000 epochs. It is a great decisive battle, an endless battle between powerful beings. Even King Rank Immortal God can be wiped out if he is not careful!"
That mortality rate was incredibly high; if one out of a thousand people survived, that was considered a good outcome.
Such large-scale, Peak Battle are no joke. Even the most powerful races cannot withstand such attrition. Engaging in one every 1000 eras is within the tolerance range of the Four Pinnacle Races.
"A large-scale battle, a decisive battle between the strong? When will the next great battle begin?" Muxing was standing nearby, leaned over and asked after hearing this news.
She certainly didn't want to encounter such a terrifying crisis so soon after entering the Outer Domain Battlefield.
"I don't know. Although it's said to happen once every 1000 epochs, there's no precise number. It mainly depends on the strength of both sides. Once the strength of both sides accumulates to a certain level, it will begin."
"Those damned Zerg, they used the corpses of countless powerful beings to create a large number of Zerg King. Although both sides lost many World Lord, they cultivated Zerg King, whose combat power is terrifying," Piaofeng said.
"Fortunately, this has also led to the emergence of many powerful geniuses among humankind. With geniuses like me around, I will definitely protect you, Miss Muxing!" Flame King clung to Muxing, constantly boasting about his achievements to her.
" Flame King, didn't you say before that next time you encounter the Zerg, you must capture a Zerg Mother Emperor and train her properly?" Piaofeng couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.
Muxing stared at Flame King with half-closed eyes, making him break out in a cold sweat.
"No way, don't listen to Piaofeng's nonsense. This person cultivates the Law of Wind, so his speech is slurred and he talks nonsense! Just like the Law he cultivates, he likes to brag!"
" Human Race and Zerg are mortal enemies, how could I possibly leave the Zerg Mother Emperor alive!" the Flame King declared confidently.
"But I also remember you saying that!" Meipulu, carrying a giant shield, blinked her big eyes and said.
Others also gave them disdainful looks.
"Slander! You're slandering me! I, Flame King, am pure and innocent; how could I possibly do such a thing!"
"Oh?"
The Flame King vehemently refuted this, but it only drew skepticism from the crowd.
"Everyone, give me some face in front of the newbies! Next time there's a treasure, you can choose first!"
Only after Flame King signed a humiliating treaty that ceded national sovereignty did the team members stop digging into his dark past.
Unfortunately, Muxing doesn't want to pay any attention to him right now.
Taming the Zerg Mother Emperor is truly a beneficial hobby for both body and mind!
"Alright, enough of the small talk. Let's discuss the objectives of our mission."
Following the Blood God into the secret chamber, the team members also changed their mindset and became serious. Normally they could joke and play around, but when it came to a mission, they had to be extremely serious.
This is Outer Domain Battlefield with an extremely high mortality rate; even King-level Immortal can perish at any moment, let alone them.
"Our goal this time is to familiarize Taiji and Muxing with the situation of the Outer Domain Battlefield. Therefore, we have selected teams with three or fewer Immortal God as targets. Teams with four or more Immortal God will be immediately sent to retreat and will not be allowed to linger in battle."
At that time, Wuerdi and I will each deal with an Immortal God. Taiji, although the Virtual Universe Network believes you have the strength to fight against Immortal Army Lord, this is Outer Domain Battlefield. Unlike ordinary Immortal who cherish their lives, the enemies here are all incredibly crazy.
Once the battle begins, they will likely unleash their Divine Power immediately to kill you as quickly as possible. You'll Meipulu; she can absorb some of the attacks for you. Whether you can defeat the Alien Race depends on your performance."
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Junbao nodded. This mission mainly focuses on team cohesion, so Blood God will not be too reckless. He needs to figure out Zhang Junbao and Muxing's combat capabilities. Rashly pursuing too high a goal could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
" Muxing, you will coordinate with Flame King. You will take the lead in controlling the situation, while Flame King will kill the enemies."
"I understand." Muxing nodded.
"Everyone else, same as usual, is that alright?"
"No problem!"
"Alright, let's go! I want the Immortal Squad to avoid the Blood God Squad from now on!" Blood God's eyes blazed with killing intent, like a top hunter ready to strike at any moment.
Upon arriving at the departure hall, we found a massive spaceship with a diameter exceeding 30,000 kilometers, large enough to accommodate billions of space warriors. The sheer number of spaceships was truly awe-inspiring.
"Wow, it's huge!" Muxing exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the hall. "There must be tens of millions of warriors waiting to depart here!"
Flame King nodded. "Recently, the Alien Race attacks have been quite fierce, and many warriors have gone out. The spaceships here vary in size, but you haven't seen those massive military spaceships that can hold tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of powerful warriors."
The sight of a billion, or even tens of billions of warriors setting out together to conquer Alien Race —that's truly spectacular!
"And how many of them will actually come back?" Zhang Junbao glanced around and sighed.
"It is because of so many powerful individuals who have sacrificed themselves that our Human Territory has been able to prosper and be stable. There are only so many resources in the universe. Those damned insects eat everything and come to steal our Human Race. If we don't drive them away, how can humanity develop?" Piaofeng said passionately.
The conflict between races allows no retreat. These warriors from all corners of the universe may have their own purposes, but when facing Alien Race, their goal is the same.
Defeat the enemy and win more resources for Human Race!
