Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 27 Rapid Progress, the Team Sets Out
Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
The smelly blood rolled down the neck of the armored bull and dripped onto the devastated and abandoned streets.

The body that seemed to be made of steel armor rushed towards Qin Ming madly in despair, but Qin Ming easily dodged it by turning sideways. The Broken Army Halberd chopped it down and fell on the head of another iron-armored bull.

Qin Ming, who killed two armored bulls in an instant, stepped on the ground with his front feet, pushed off the ground with his back feet, and rushed into the herd of armored bulls like a beast.

His arm was like a spring, bursting out with strength in an instant. The tip of the halberd trembled like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, piercing into the eyes of an armored bull and penetrating its brain.

Qin Ming, who had killed another armored bull, had already unleashed all his strength, while a fiery red armored bull beside him roared and lowered its head.

When the old strength is exhausted and the new strength has not yet been generated, a normal warrior can only watch himself being pierced by the sharp horns of the armored bull.

But a powerful mental power wrapped around the alloy boots under his feet, and Qin Ming's body moved in the air to avoid the fatal blow.

Qin Ming took a step in the air and used the force to stabilize his body. The crescent blade on the side of the halberd hooked the leg joint of the armored bull and tore it apart completely with a strong pull.

Then it turned and swept across, and with the help of mental power, the Broken Army Halberd cut off the head of the last armored bull in an extremely domineering manner.

Standing at the end of the ruined street, Qin Ming looked at the corpses of armored bulls lying on the ground behind him. Blood was flowing everywhere, and the entire street was covered with blood.

"The first level of the Broken Army Halberd is barely enough to be considered an entry-level skill. It can unleash a second burst of power, but it has some pauses. It's still a little difficult to use in actual combat."

Looking at the monster corpses on the ground, Qin Ming muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"You're a pervert, aren't you satisfied with this?"

"What a monster!"

Zhang Yan and Ling Qianye looked at Qin Ming and couldn't help but complain.

"He's taking advantage of the situation and still acting ungratefully. He's mastered the first level of the 'Po Jun Ji' in just over ten days and unleashed the second level of power. It's already astonishing.

And this guy is clearly using these monsters to find a fighting method that suits him."

Captain Lu Haochuan also laughed and scolded.

During the battle, Qin Ming seemed to have made almost no defense or retreat. He attacked in an extremely violent manner, almost pushing the power of the Broken Army Halberd to its limit.

But does Qin Ming really only know how to attack?
You can tell by the flying knives surrounding him.

If there is real danger, you can use throwing knives to defend instantly or even end the battle directly.

Unlike his and Zhang Yan's previous fighting styles, Qin Ming was already trying to find the most suitable way for himself in the battle.

A normal warrior must reserve some strength for defense when attacking.

But this is not necessary for Qin Ming.

Whether it is the flying knives or the ghosts wandering around, they can make up for this well.

So, why should we be like ordinary warriors?

The same applies to body movements.

Normal warriors avoid monster attacks by dodging and moving around, but does Qin Ming, as a spiritualist, really need to do so?

With just a thought, he could dodge the attack in a way that ordinary warriors could never do, or even fly directly into the air.

Borrow power from the void and create something out of nothing.

This is the method of a spiritualist.

It doesn't mean giving up control of your body and relying entirely on mental power.

Instead, it combines the two to create a stronger force.

When attacking, Qin Ming's simple warrior strength is only about 7000kg, but what if he applies mental power to the halberd blade at the moment of slashing?

Wouldn't that mean he could unleash the power of a mid-level general, or even a high-level general?
Even a monster with amazing defense like the Iron-Armored Bull had its head chopped off directly. Its power was astonishing.

"I'm still not very proficient. If I encounter a stronger beast general-level monster, I wouldn't dare to use it this way."

Qin Ming walked up to his teammates with a smile.

After clearing out the large group of monsters led by the Blazing Tiger King, the subsequent groups of monsters were relatively small, without even a high-level beast general.

There would naturally be no problem for Qin Ming to use this to practice his body movements and halberd techniques.

"What's the problem if you're not proficient? Just practice a few more times and you'll be fine.

Most of the secret techniques, such as the "Pojun Halberd" that you practice, or "Mieshi" and "Nine-Layered Thunder Blade", were created by warriors, and they all take into account the warriors' exertion of force and use of physical strength.

It's a good thing that you can unleash the power of the "Pojun Halberd" while combining it with mental power to unleash even greater power.

However, the prerequisite for creating your own fighting style is to lay a solid enough foundation!

Mental power is powerful, but control over the body is equally important." Captain Lu Haochuan nodded in satisfaction while also giving a warning.

Qin Ming was very talented and learned things quickly. He quickly figured out the combat techniques that suited him and improved rapidly in actual combat.

In fact, he also saw this point, which is why he guided Qin Ming to do so.

It takes a long time for ordinary warriors to learn the most basic fighting routines of halberds. It is enough to master the fighting methods of their predecessors.

But for geniuses, this is not the way to teach them.

"Captain, I understand."

Qin Ming held the Broken Army Halberd across his shoulder and said with a smile.

A towering building rises from the ground, but if its foundation is not solid, no matter how strong it is, it is just an attic in the air and will collapse at the slightest gust of wind.

This is also why he needs to train himself.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just hide in the back and fight simply using the methods of a psychic?

You only need to absorb the soul energy and blood essence from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner every day to improve your strength.

Why bother making yourself bleed?

His target is not just these opponents on Earth.

The vast universe, billions of races.

If you come to this world and don’t create your own legend, wouldn’t it be a waste of opportunity?

Having power but not knowing how to use it will inevitably lead to failure in the future battle of geniuses in the universe.

"Let's go. Once we leave this street, we've already left City 003 and entered the wilderness area. Our initial cleanup is complete.

Next, you just need to sweep back and forth twice more to kill all the monsters that break in.

We will go and join the main force, they are coming out soon."

……

Rumbling--

The gate of War Base No. 003 slowly opened, and heavy tanks gleaming with steel luster drove out.

Following closely behind were large numbers of armored vehicles.

The special anti-monster design makes these war machines have terrifyingly large calibers and look extremely terrifying.

The heavy tank in the front has composite armor made of Kro alloy, which is difficult to destroy even for higher-level beast generals.

The 155mm caliber main gun and the quadruple 30mm "Stinger" rapid-fire cannon can instantly tear apart the bodies of monsters below the level of medium-sized Beast General.

If you want to kill a primary monster with a 12.7mm sniper rifle, you need to choose the eyes, neck and other places to penetrate.

But what if it is a 30mm "Stinger" rapid-fire cannon?

What about the 155mm main gun?

Once it is fired, it can be crushed directly no matter where it is.

Even in one of the special tanks, the gun barrel is made of a diamond-shaped crystal. This is mankind’s most powerful weapon - a laser cannon!

Behind these war machines, a large number of heavy trucks loaded with cargo slowly drove out.

These behemoths converted from mining trucks are much larger than the tanks and armored vehicles in front of them, and their bodies are also loaded with anti-aircraft machine guns, rapid-fire cannons and other powerful weapons.

As the long convoy drove out, the base gate slammed shut. However, inside the war base, the heavy artillery, rocket launchers, and missile silos had already firmly locked onto both sides of the road.

The disc-shaped fighter is fully loaded with ammunition and can take off and fight at any time.

Just as the convoy began to enter the city, the entire City 003 became boiling.

In the foggy city ruins, huge lord-level monsters climbed onto tall buildings, gazing grimly at the large convoy at the edge of the city.

In the sky, the flying monster roared.

The blood-red pupils revealed cruelty and bloodthirstiness.

The human supply convoy entered the city.
