Beast God Cult
As soon as the words rang out, people moved.
In an instant, martial artists were running everywhere. The hall had been fairly crowded moments ago, but now only a few people remained.
In this age, martial artists were the guardians of the human race.
Whenever disaster struck, every martial artist would bravely step forward, using their own modest strength to safeguard the peace of their corner of the world.
"Captain, what do we do?"
The soldiers surrounding Ning Yue wanted to defend the city and slay the rampaging ferocious beasts.
"You two, keep him under control. Everyone else, prepare to reinforce the riot area," squad leader Duan Wu said.
Before the two soldiers could step forward, a young man in military uniform came running over and shouted, "Ferocious beasts are rioting, and this is a critical moment for defending the city! 8th Squad, why haven't you returned to your unit?"
Ning Yue turned to look. The young man in uniform was a handsome, resolute-looking man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a crew cut.
"Commander, this man just fought and killed someone in the hall. How should we handle him? Requesting instructions!" The captain of the 8th Squad stepped forward and reported.
"Beast God Cult?" The young man in uniform glanced at the corpse on the ground and flew into a rage. "Well, well, the Beast God Cult actually dared to sneak into my certification hall."
The commander's words gave the 8th Squad a shock. "How could it be the Beast God Cult?"
They were soldiers guarding the Martial Artist Complex. Letting the Beast God Cult sneak in was a dereliction of their duty.
"Look closely."
The commander shouted, drew a standard-issue military saber, and slashed the corpse in two.
Blood sprayed everywhere from the severed corpse.
Along with the blood came a yellow crystal core, split in two to reveal its white inner core.
At the same time, the corpse, now in two halves, lost the last of its energy and changed drastically. Its human head turned into a deer's head.
"He really was a Beast God Cult member. A crystal core with a yellow shell and a white center."
All the soldiers of the 8th Squad were stunned.
They, too, recognized the crystal core with its yellow shell and white center.
Ferocious beasts cultivated differently from humans. Humans cultivated their bodies and souls, connected with heaven and earth, and transcended themselves.
Ferocious beasts, on the other hand, cultivated their bodies and bloodlines, drawing on their bloodlines as their source and their crystal cores for power.
All ferocious beasts had a source of power: their crystal core.
Beast God Cult members also possessed crystal cores. Grafted with ferocious beast bloodlines and cultivated through a special method, these were a kind of unfinished crystal core, somewhere between human and ferocious beast.
"Little brother, thank you for killing that Beast God Cult member."
Led by the captain of the 8th Squad, all the soldiers saluted Ning Yue.
Ning Yue grew solemn. He stood up and bowed in return.
"Compared with what you've all done, it was only right for me to do this."
He had killed the Beast God Cult member not for anyone else, but for his own safety and his family's lives.
Ning Yue could sense that he had been the Beast God Cult member's target.
He did not deserve the thanks of these soldiers who guarded the city's peace. They were the true heroes.
"8th Squad, assemble."
"Advance along Pear Tree Street, exterminate the rampaging ferocious beasts, and protect the residents of Pear Tree Street."
Thud, thud, thud.
With a patter of running footsteps, the 8th Squad left the certification hall under their captain's lead.
The commander followed behind. After running two steps, he turned around.
"Little brother, judging by how fiercely you killed that Beast God Cult member, you're a hot-blooded man too. Interested in killing a couple more ferocious beasts?"
"Me? Can I?"
Ning Yue was a little uncertain. After the battle just now, he could already make a rough estimate of his own combat strength.
With his lack of actual combat experience, he couldn't bring out all his strength.
He could only fight at the second rank.
If his actual combat experience improved, then as someone at the peak of the First-Rank Realm who controlled all his power to the realm of Minute Subtlety, he believed his combat strength would advance by leaps and bounds, and fighting above his rank to defeat third-rank opponents would be no problem.
However.
"Yes. The ferocious beast riot planned by the Beast God Cult this time has tied down some of the city's combat forces. There are not only high-rank ferocious beasts among them, but first- and second-rank ones too. One more person means one more share of strength, a little less damage, and fewer casualties."
With that, the commander grabbed Ning Yue and charged out of the Martial Artist Complex.
He had also seen that Ning Yue was young, yet had already reached the First-Rank Realm, making him a genius.
He wanted to help Ning Yue gain more actual combat experience.
