"Brother Lin, do you still come here on ordinary days?"
From the air, Shi Shan asked.
"Yes, let's try to wipe out all the Sin Beast in the Dark Cloud Mountain Range tomorrow," Lin An nodded.
The purpose of sending that black tiger to deliver the message was to provoke the Diamond Realm Sin Beast in the Dark Cloud Mountain Range.
If the other party had any backbone, they wouldn't have run away. In addition, given the commotion he caused today, they are very likely to gather all the Sin Beast of the Dark Cloud Mountain Range.
In this way, he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of luring monsters like he did today.
Of course, if the opponent gets scared away, he can simply move to another mountain range and continue killing.
The journey back was uneventful, except for a few encounters with Sin Beast, which Lin An easily dealt with.
When everyone returned to Heavenly Vault Pass, it was already getting dark.
The group went directly to the mission hall.
"Please calculate my military merits." Lin An took out the token and handed it to the staff member.
The staff member nodded, took the token, and began the operation.
But gradually, the staff members' faces showed expressions of shock.
"You killed all these Sin Beast?" the staff member asked incredulously.
"This sir, it was indeed Brother Lin who killed him. We can testify; we witnessed it with our own eyes," Shi Shan and the others chimed in before Lin An could even speak.
The staff were only shocked when they asked the question, and they were even more horrified when they heard what Shi Shan and the others said.
A mere Platinum Second Grade is capable of hunting down so many Sin Beast?
Furthermore, according to the information displayed, the other party left Heavenly Vault Pass today, meaning they killed so many Sin Beast in less than a day?
Although shocked, the staff did not ask any more questions and quickly calculated Lin An's military merits.
Platinum First Grade Sin Beast earn 5 military merits, second-grade earns 10 military merits, and each grade increase adds 5 military merits.
Lin An hunted down more than 6,000 Sin Beast, the highest of which was only Platinum Sixth Grade. The Sin Beast of Platinum Seventh Grade and above were all in the inner area.
After final calculation, Lin An received a total of 121,750 military merits.
Even though Shi Shan and the others were somewhat prepared, they were still taken aback when they saw so many military achievements.
You have to understand that they're lucky if they earn fifty military merits a day, unlike Lin An, who earned over one hundred thousand military merits in a single day.
Moreover, this doesn't even include Lin An's materials. If all of these materials were converted into military merits, it would be enough to reach 200,000.
"Congratulations, Brother Lin, on winning the championship," Shi Shan and the others said, bowing.
They knew very well that even if Lin An did nothing from now on, the championship was already in his grasp.
Moreover, they knew that Lin An would be hunting Sin Beast the next day, and he would probably gain even more military merits.
Lin An smiled and responded politely.
Then they arrived at the exchange hall.
"I want to exchange for formations and puppet techniques," Lin An said.
Without further ado, the staff handed the list to Lin An, Lin An then began to look through it.
In the end Lin An chose the " Thundercloud All-Slaying Formation," which is the most powerful and widest-ranging formation among Diamond Tier formations, worth one thousand military merits.
Then Lin An bought the " Puppet Compendium," which recorded the methods for making more than thirty kinds of puppets, and it also only cost five thousand military merits.
They purchased another batch of Diamond Tier materials to set up formations and create puppets, spending a total of 10,000 military merits.
"By the way, please convert all these materials into military merits for me."
After buying the items, Lin An took out the materials from his storage ring and the Sin Beast Crystal Core.
The staff were taken aback when they saw so many materials. They then led Lin An to a room behind the main hall and called over a few people to help them count them.
"A total of 51,472 military merits. Here's the list. Please check if there are any problems." It took the group more than half an hour to organize these materials.
"No problem."
Lin An nodded, and after his military merits were credited to his account, he left the exchange hall. At this point, he still had 157,222 military merits left, more than he could possibly spend.
He also looked at the list of military ranks to exchange for; a squad leader required a thousand military merits, and the required cultivation level was Platinum Ninth Grade.
The platoon leader needs 3,000 military merits to reach the Diamond First Grade.
The garrison commander needs 10,000 military merits to reach the Diamond Seventh Grade Realm.
A centurion with 50,000 military merits, reaching the Epic Tier or higher.
As for commanders of thousands and commanders of tens of thousands, they need even more military achievements, but the most important thing is their character and moral integrity.
With Lin An's current strength, he's only good enough to be a squad leader, so he's too lazy to exchange for anything.
After leaving the exchange hall, Lin An returned to his residence.
He took out the " Thundercloud All-Slaying Formation " and began to study it.
Learning Diamond Tier formation, like any cultivation technique, requires a total of 62,600 attribute points from initial learning to mastery.
After learning the formation, Lin An took out the " Puppet Compendium " and selected the [ Mystic Shadow Puppet ] technique to learn, spending 50,000 attribute points to reach mastery.
The Mystic Shadow Puppet isn't particularly strong in direct combat, but it's fast and excels at stealth and assassination.
Then Lin An spent another 61,210 attribute points to upgrade the Puppeteer to Diamond Tier.
After all that spending, I only had 102,114 attribute points left.
"Next, we'll make the array flags, then we can set up the array directly."
"In addition, we will create 32 Mystic Shadow Puppet, which can not only help with the formation, but also serve as scouts for exploration and dispose of the corpses of the Sin Beast."
With that in mind, Lin An took out the materials and began to make them.
Lin An had originally planned to head to the Dark Cloud Mountain Range the next day, but he discovered that the time required to create the array flags and puppets exceeded his expectations.
It took him seven whole days to finish making everything.
Looking at the thirty-six array flags and thirty-six Xuan Mystic Shadow Puppet in his storage ring, Lin An smiled.
"I specifically exchanged for Diamond Realm Fifth Grade Sin Beast Crystal Core as the core of the Mystic Shadow Puppet. Although the individual combat power of these puppets is not comparable to that of Diamond Realm Fifth Grade, they can easily overwhelm a group of them."
"It's a pity I haven't had time to inscribe Spirit Mark yet, but I wasn't expecting to use these puppets to hunt Sin Beast anyway, so they're sufficient for now."
After thinking it over, Lin An tidied himself up and headed outside.
This time, Lin An didn't encounter He Changshan and the others when he opened the door, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Arriving at the mission hall, Lin An accepted the hunting mission again, activated the token, and then left Heavenly Vault Pass, heading towards the outside of the pass.
"Let's go check out the Dark Cloud Mountain Range first. I wonder if those Sin Beast have escaped yet," Lin An thought to himself, and his figure flew towards the Dark Cloud Mountain Range.
at the same time.
On a mountain peak in the inner area of the Dark Cloud Mountain Range, a large number of Sin Beast have gathered.
Inside a cave at the highest point of the mountain, a large spider, its body made of shimmering gems and metal, especially its eight eyes each inlaid with a gem of a different color, was perched on a large web.
Gold-Devouring Spider, Diamond Third Grade, Overlord of the Dark Cloud Mountain Range.
"Has that Human Race not arrived yet?"
As a new day dawned, the Gold-Devouring Spider's deep voice rang out.
