Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 24 Reward
"That kid is my grandson, so I won't get involved. Just don't bully my child, Lao Yan and the others."

Li Dawei glanced at Yan Zhenghong and the other three, and said calmly.

"That's right, that's right. That kid is practicing the Mist Sword technique that I created. He can be considered half of my student. You old guys shouldn't bully the young."

Deng Chao, one of the four councilors of the Wei Fang faction, said something.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Yi and the other two, who were also councilors, all gave him disdainful looks.

You have the nerve to force such a connection when there's absolutely no connection between you?
"No joke, this kid is a mentalist, and his talent is extremely strong. We can't let him die young."

"Old Jia, I remember the Guard Department has the Black God Set, right? How about making it one of the rewards?"

Tuoba Shen suggested.

Although each person can only obtain one piece of the Black God Set from the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, having the Black God Set does not mean that the God of War is invincible.

The Black God Set, which is currently unused in the Guard, was left behind by the War Gods who originally possessed it but perished.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone agreed.

As a mentalist, Lu Jin's chances of dying were already much lower than those of ordinary martial artists. If he also had the Black God Set, his safety would be virtually guaranteed.

If the Huashan Group, the strongest mobile force of the Guardian Force, could have one more War God-level Spirit Master, it would be a great joy for the five Guardian Districts fighting on the front lines of the beast tide.

At this moment, Deng Chao said, "I think it's okay, but we must be wary of a child carrying a gold brick in the marketplace. Let's wait until he's certified as a War God-level martial artist before giving it to him."

Hmm, one Black God set isn't enough, give me another bottle of Dragon Blood.

"Furthermore, I've noticed that the young people's strength is improving rapidly; some have already reached the level of junior warrior. Let's communicate with the Extreme Martial Arts Academy to see if we can secure another spot for their elite training camp this year."

"Old Zhu, what do you think?"

Jia Yi turned to look at Zhu Xi.

"If I remember correctly, you and that guy from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy explored the ancient ruins together and found two identical mental weapon masters inside. You got one of them?"

Instead of answering directly, Zhu Xi asked Jia Yi a question.

"Hey Lao Zhu, what benefits did Lao Li give you?"

Jia Yi asked in surprise.

Zhu Xi curled his lip: "I'm just stating the facts. You're not a mentalist, so why would you keep that thing as a treasure?"

That kid's got such talent, he might become the next East. Take my advice, don't even think about keeping that baby of yours to breed."

"Fine, I'll give it to you!"

Jia Yi didn't hesitate much and nodded in agreement.

As Zhu Xi said, he wasn't a mentalist, so keeping that weapon, which was only for mentalists, was useless to him.

Seeing this, Zhu Xi turned to Li Dawei and said, "Old Li, did you hear that? Make sure your kid becomes a war god as soon as possible."

"Haha, on behalf of my son, thank you all."

Li Dawei said with a hearty laugh.

That evening, in City 037, Lu Jin opened his combat watch and found a text message from the old man. It said that the Ministry of Defense had approved the reward for contributing the two mental cultivation manuals, but he could only receive the reward after he was certified as a War God-level martial artist.

Is it only obtainable after being certified as a War God-level martial artist?
Needless to say, it's definitely a good thing, so good that the Ministry of Defense is afraid that if he doesn't become a war god, he won't be able to protect it.

After thinking it over, Lu Jin made up his mind.

Once a warrior's strength reaches the level of a high-level general and their mental power reaches the level of a mid-level war god, they will hunt two low-level lord monsters to complete their war god warrior certification.

Although with his current strength, he is not without a chance of defeating a low-level lord-class monster, there is still a risk involved.

After all, his martial arts strength was only at the intermediate level, and his body was very fragile, a typical glass cannon.

If you are ambushed by a lord monster, even if it's just a glancing blow, you could very well be in trouble. It's safer to wait until you've improved your strength to a higher level before going again.

Starting from the second day, Lu Jin maintained a routine of finding a mid-level or high-level beast general-level monster each morning and afternoon to engage in actual combat with, using his martial arts skills, and then taking the monster materials and decomposing the corpse into life source crystals.

A martial artist's strength is no match for a high-level beast general?

That's true. His current physical attributes are only at the intermediate level of warrior, and his physical exertion is only 1.6 times, so he is naturally no match for a high-level beast general-level monster.

However, if you stab a high-level beast general monster a few times with a throwing knife, inflicting some damage and weakening its actual combat power to that of a mid-level beast general, then it can become a qualified sparring partner.

As for low-level beast generals, Lu Jin no longer takes them seriously.

Like the Beast Soldier-level monsters, it can take down any low-level Beast General with a single throwing knife. The only difference is that it will collect monster materials from low-level Beast Generals.

Half a month later, in the morning, Lu Jin, who had traveled to three cities, once again embarked on the road back to the Martial Arts Supply Station of the Guard District.

At this moment, Lu Jin, who was practically buried under three backpacks, was filled with joy.

For the past two weeks, he has been spending some time every noon and evening practicing the "Master's Secret 432 Techniques". Finally, yesterday at noon, he increased the amplitude of his mental power to six times.

Moreover, this morning, after consuming another Apprentice-level Life Source Crystal, his punching power reached 32000 kg, making him a high-level warrior.

He maintained a mental strength two levels higher than that of a martial artist, and his strength also reached 128000 kg, officially entering the intermediate-level War God mental master realm.

With the amplification of the telekinetic energy six times, the six throwing knives striking the target simultaneously would generate a force of 768000 kg, a force that already exceeds the basic strength of a peak-level advanced war god without exerting any force.

Similarly, Lu Jin was feeling depressed.

After half a month of high-quality practical training, his swordsmanship was still at the specialized level, not yet at perfection, and he hadn't even managed to master the second level of the Mist Sword. He always felt that he was still lacking something.

However, he has made considerable progress in his movement techniques. He has gone from having a basic grasp of the subtle movement techniques to being able to master them proficiently, and he is not far from the perfect state.

Of course, besides being frustrated about not being able to master the second level of the Mist Sword, Lu Jin also had some complaints about his backpack.

For some reason, his backpack couldn't hold as much as Luo Feng's backpack in the original story.

The external storage space is quite large, but it should not be exposed.

He couldn't bear to ignore the monster materials, since all the monster materials he collected were of the Beast General level, and even the cheapest ones could be sold for millions of coins, so he couldn't let them go to waste.

Left with no other choice, Lu Jin had to buy two more backpacks when he returned to the supply base for the first time to sell monster materials.

Then, whenever all three backpacks are full, return to the supply base to sell them.
