The only four Lord-level Monsters in the beast horde fell one after another beneath Li Jing's blade.

With their leaders gone, the other ordinary Beast General Level and Beast Soldier Level monsters, whose courage Li Jing had already shattered, scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in panic.

Li Jing paid them no mind and let them run in every direction.

He turned and cut materials from the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros, Shadow Blade Mantis, and Stone-Armored Giant Bear.

The Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros's dark-gold horn, the grayish-white soft membrane on its belly, and its spinal fluid; the Shadow Blade Mantis's scythe arms and shadowy wing membranes; and the Rock-Armored Giant Bear's paw bones and heart.

The Lord-level Monsters' incredibly tough scales and shells were as fragile as tofu beneath the cutting edge of Tiger Thorn, a first-tier Origin Force weapon.

Li Jing removed one priceless monster material after another.

Lord-level Monsters were far larger than Beast General Level monsters. The materials from just three of them filled the special tactical backpack Li Jing had specifically upgraded.

That made Li Jing long once again for spatial equipment.

Even a dozen or so cubic meters would do. It would be better than having to laboriously stuff his spoils into a tactical backpack.

Now he had to make another trip back to the Supply Base. He could otherwise have hunted a few more Lord-level Monsters.

Still, the materials from these four Lord-level Monsters were worth more than 20 billion in Huaxia Currency altogether.

With that much money, even if the chance of drawing the golden limited, one-of-a-kind UR card from the card pool was one in ten thousand,

as long as his luck wasn't too terrible, it had to be enough to draw it!

Once he obtained peak Apprentice Level Spirit Reader talent and successfully awakened his Spiritual Force,

with an Intermediate War God's base physical attributes, his Spiritual Force would reach the peak of High-level War God as soon as it awakened.

His Spiritual Force alone would be enough to earn him the title of Invincible War God.

Even without spatial equipment, he could use Spiritual Force to make backpacks float.

With a few more backpacks, he could pack and carry away as much loot as he wanted.

Sharpening the axe wouldn't delay the woodcutting. He had to return to the Warrior Supply Base on this trip!

The thoughts flashed through Li Jing's mind. He quickly slung on his backpack and headed at top speed toward the nearest Warrior Supply Base No. 004.

[Unidentified life-sign response detected rapidly approaching the base. Strength: Intermediate Lord Level! Level-one alert!]

Li Jing, advancing at full speed, had made no deliberate effort to conceal his aura, and the detection equipment at Warrior Supply Base No. 004 picked it up.

The response, with a strength as high as Intermediate Lord Level, set off a piercing alarm in the Supply Base's monitoring room.

The soldiers on duty turned pale.

Was an Intermediate Lord Level monster attacking?

That was far beyond what their Warrior Supply Base No. 004 could handle. Even the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City could not deal with it alone.

"Report it! Report it immediately and request support from a War God Level warrior!"

The colonel commanding Warrior Supply Base No. 004 soon received the news and rushed to the monitoring room.

"Deploy a satellite. I want to know the exact species of the attacking monster!"

"Once it's confirmed, relay the information to our superiors immediately and request the appropriate support!" the colonel ordered, his expression tense.

"Yes, sir!"

A military reconnaissance satellite was deployed, locking onto the location of the Intermediate Lord Level life-energy response and tracking it.

The scene that appeared on the display made the colonel and the other soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.

It wasn't a monster, but a human War God Level warrior-and an Intermediate War God Level warrior at that!

Most likely, he had never undergone War God strength certification, so none of his information was on file with the Military, triggering the false alarm.

"Cancel the alert. Notify all officers ranked major and above to accompany me to the base gate to welcome our War God warrior!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, word spread like wildfire through the Supply Base that a powerful Intermediate War God Level warrior who most likely had not undergone strength certification was about to arrive, causing an immediate stir.

At Warrior Supply Base No. 004, which was under the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City, even Elementary War God Level warriors rarely stopped by, let alone Intermediate War God Level warriors.

Representatives of the various factions stationed at the base also joined the Military at the gate, craning their necks as they waited, hoping to build a good relationship with this Intermediate War God warrior.

As he neared Warrior Supply Base No. 004, Li Jing slowed down.

To his surprise, quite a few people had gathered at the gate. Yang Lin, the HR Alliance's purchasing supervisor, with whom he had traded monster materials twice, was also conspicuously among them. They seemed to be waiting for someone.

Could there be some kind of inspection?

Li Jing wondered to himself and prepared to go around the crowd and enter the Supply Base first.

To his surprise, however, the moment they saw him, the whole group stepped forward and crowded around him.

The man at their head wore a military uniform with two bars and three stars on his shoulder boards. He was a colonel.

The man beamed. "Esteemed Intermediate War God, hello. I'm Lu Xing, the person in charge of Warrior Supply Base No. 004. Welcome to Warrior Supply Base No. 004!"

At that moment, everyone present, Lu Xing included, was secretly stunned by Li Jing's appearance.

Young. Far too young!

Even if he looked younger than he was, he could only be in his twenties at most.

They hardly dared dwell on what an Intermediate War God in his twenties meant.

Given time, he would become another powerful Councilor Level expert!

Without realizing it, everyone raised their estimation of Li Jing by several notches.

Among the crowd, Manager Yang, who had dealt with Li Jing before, saw his face clearly, and his pupils abruptly shrank to pinpoints.

Li Jing, who had sold him materials from over a hundred Beast General Level monsters only yesterday, was actually an Intermediate War God?!

This was no dragon lying hidden in the depths; he was clearly a dragon already soaring through the heavens!

Even now, he could hardly believe that he had formed a connection with a powerful and young Intermediate War God.

Faced with Colonel Lu's smiling welcome, Li Jing nodded in greeting.

He guessed that perhaps he had not restrained his aura earlier, allowing the Warrior Supply Base's detection equipment to pick it up, and that was why he was faced with this scene.

"May I ask what brings Your Excellency the War God to the Supply Base? The Military would be happy to assist you!" Colonel Lu continued after Li Jing acknowledged him.

"Nothing much. I hunted a few monsters in the Wilderness Zone and came to deal with the materials," Li Jing replied casually.

At those words, the purchasing supervisors stationed there by the major factions breathed a little faster.

The haul of an Intermediate War God Level warrior should consist of at least High-level Beast General Level, or even Elementary Lord Level monster materials, right?

This was a major deal. More importantly, it was a chance to build a good relationship with this young Intermediate War God of limitless potential!

"Manager Yang, our last deal went well. I wonder if you can take all of today's materials?"

Under the expectant gazes of the purchasing supervisors, Li Jing directly chose Manager Yang, whom he knew.

Flattered by the unexpected favor, Manager Yang hurriedly replied, "Of course we can! The HR Alliance may not have much else, but we have money!"

Li Jing nodded and entered the Supply Base, surrounded by the crowd.

"Beginner Warrior Li Jing, welcome to Warrior Supply Base No. 004!"

The mechanical identity-verification announcement from the base gate brought a hush over everyone present.

What did it mean for an Intermediate War God warrior whose warrior certification was only Beginner Warrior, combined with that youthful face?

At that moment, stormy seas surged in the hearts of everyone present!
