I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

After Shen Tian unleashed his "Severing Breath Slash," the beast tide offensive in the entire C3 area experienced a momentary break.

It's like a raging flood being forcibly stopped by a sluice gate.

Taking advantage of the gap before the remaining twenty fourth-tier lords could completely overwhelm them, Shen Tian flashed and disappeared behind a half-collapsed air-raid shelter.

This is an excellent location.

With its back against the cliff, it offers a wide field of vision, allowing it to avoid stray bullets from the main battlefield and keep an eye on the movements of the strange beasts.

"call……"

Shen Tian leaned against the cold, damp cement wall and casually wiped the blood off his face.

Although he possessed an "immortal body" and his stamina recovered extremely quickly, the high-intensity burst he had just experienced still made him feel somewhat hot.

That's a sign of overloaded blood and qi circulation.

However, this feeling is great.

Shen Tian raised his left hand and turned on the screen of his tactical watch.

He was so engrossed in the fight that the thing kept vibrating, making his wrist numb.

The moment the screen lit up, a series of red notification messages popped up.

[Slayed the Tier 4 Beast, Golden Armored Rhinoceros King, 100% contribution rating, awarded 2000 Military Merit Points!]

[Slaying the Tier 3 Shadow Leopard, 100% contribution rating, earning 500 Military Merit Points!]

[Slaying a Tier 2 alien beast...]

The dense kill logs scrolled rapidly across the screen like a series of diary entries.

Each record is accompanied by a short video of a few seconds.

That was the moment of the kill automatically captured by the high-speed camera built into the tactical watch.

The footage is clear, the angles are tricky, and even the details of the blade cutting into the flesh are captured clearly.

"This feature is quite user-friendly."

Shen Tian's lips curled up slightly.

He was initially worried that if he killed too many people, the system wouldn't have time to tally the kills, or that someone else might claim the credit for him.

Now it seems that Po Jun Si's battle merit system was tailor-made for lone wolves like him.

The bill is settled immediately after the killing, with no delays.

Shen Tian glanced at the balance in the upper right corner.

Current Military Merit Points: 5200

Get rich overnight.

According to Lin Qingyi's previous explanation, one point of military merit is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 10,000 Dragon Coins.

That's over 5,000 points, which is over 50 million.

In the past, this amount of money would have been enough for him to buy a large apartment in the most prosperous area of ​​Jiangcheng and then live a carefree life thereafter.

But now?

For Shen Tian, ​​money was merely fuel to become stronger.

"Five thousand points should be enough to buy that thing."

Shen Tian swiped his finger and skillfully entered the internal store.

The light screen flickered.

His gaze quickly moved downwards, and through the permission filter, he directly locked onto the high-level area that only official members of the Po Jun Division could exchange.

soon.

A virtual book emitting a pale golden glow came into view.

The Great Sun Furnace Sutra.

Shen Tian opened the details page.

【Title: Great Sun Furnace Scripture (Second-Tier Supreme Technique)】

[Introduction: This is an advanced version of the "Great Sun Body Tempering Technique." If the first stage is about using the body as a furnace to temper the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, then the second stage is about igniting the furnace fire and circulating boundless qi and blood. Upon mastering this method, the qi and blood within the body surge like molten mercury, endlessly regenerating.]

Price: 3500 Military Merit Points.

"This is it."

A glint of light flashed in Shen Tian's eyes.

His current "Great Sun Body Tempering Technique" is complete, and his physical foundation is extremely solid, like a top-of-the-line sports car that still uses ordinary 92-octane gasoline.

Although it can run, it always feels like something's missing.

And this book, "The Great Sun Furnace Sutra," is that barrel of aviation fuel!

"Buy."

Shen Tian pointed with his finger.

[Payment successful! 3500 military merit points deducted.]

[You have been detected to be within the war zone's network coverage area. Encrypted data packets are being transmitted...]

[Transmission complete.]

next second.

Shen Tian examined the cultivation manual.

Countless golden figures, without any written descriptions, were projected holographically, demonstrating strange and mysterious postures.

It's a special breathing technique, coordinated with a specific route for the circulation of Qi and blood.

Obscure and difficult to understand.

For an ordinary martial artist, just to get a basic understanding of the "Great Sun Furnace Scripture," they would probably need to go into seclusion for a month or two to comprehend it, and also need to take a lot of expensive medicinal baths.

But with Shen Tian?

nonexistent.

"system."

Shen Tian silently recited in his heart.

The azure panel instantly filled the field of vision.

[Host: Shen Tian]

[Realm: Early Stage Second-Tier Martial Artist / Rank Second-Tier Spiritualist]

[Kill Value: 1350]

Although the previous charge did not kill any fourth-tier lords, the ignorant second and third-tier soldiers alone contributed more than a thousand kill points to him.

That's the advantage of the battlefield.

Even the smallest things, when gathered together, make a substantial dish.

At this moment, the martial arts section on the panel has changed.

[Martial Arts: Great Sun Body Tempering Technique (Perfected), Absolute Breath Slash (Minor Success), Great Sun Furnace Scripture 0/2000]

"Give me some more!"

"Consuming 1350 kill points to upgrade the 'Great Sun Furnace Sutra'!"

boom--!!!

The moment the command was given, Shen Tian felt as if he had swallowed a miniature nuclear bomb.

The blood and qi that had been flowing calmly suddenly became violent at this moment.

The feeling was like warm water flowing in your veins suddenly turning into scalding lava.

Gudong!Gudong!

My heart was pounding so hard that the sound was so deep and thunderous that even the walls several meters away seemed to tremble.

Shen Tian's skin instantly turned bright red, and visible white steam even rose from the top of his head.

pain!

The excruciating pain of having my meridians forcibly widened!

However, thanks to the abnormal regenerative power of the "Undying Body," this tearing sensation, which would have made an ordinary person faint from pain, was soothed after only a moment.

Instead, there was an unprecedented sense of power.

In his mind, the golden figure demonstrated its movements faster and faster until it transformed into a golden light and completely merged into the depths of Shen Tian's soul.

[Ding! Skill points added successfully!]

Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes.

In that instant, it was as if a light had been lit up in the dimly lit air-raid shelter.

Deep within his pupils, two golden flames could be faintly seen flickering.

call--

Shen Tian exhaled a breath of stale air.

The arrow of air actually condensed and did not dissipate, leaving a white streak a meter long in the air before hitting the cement wall with a crisp "crack".

Exhale and it becomes an arrow!

This is an external manifestation of having strong Qi and blood to a certain degree.

Shen Tian lowered his head and clenched his fist.

A roaring sound, like a surging river, came from inside my body.

That's the sound of blood flowing rapidly through blood vessels.

Right now, he feels like he has a furnace inside him.

He could detonate the furnace at any time if he wanted, unleashing terrifying power far exceeding that of martial artists of the same level.

"So this is the power of a second-tier cultivation technique...?"

Shen Tian felt the endless cycle of power within his body.

The fatigue I felt from the continuous bursts of energy had long since vanished.

Even their spiritual power became more refined under the nourishment of this powerful blood and energy.

[Current panel updated:]

[Host: Shen Tian]

[Realm: Mid-stage Second-Tier Martial Artist (In the process of Qi and Blood Transfer)]

[Martial Arts: Great Sun Furnace Scripture (1350/2000), Absolute Breath Slash (280/2000)]

Mid-stage Tier 2!

With just one extra point, he saved himself three to five years of arduous training, allowing him to directly leapfrog a minor realm.

Moreover, its foundation is frighteningly solid.

"roar--!!!"

Just then.

A deafening roar echoed from outside the air-raid shelter.

Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled violently, and dust fell from above.

The oppressive feeling was several times stronger than that of the previous Golden Armored Rhinoceros King.

Shen Tian slowly stood up.

He straightened his slightly disheveled collar and hung the black and gold battle sword back on his waist.

He could sense it.

The twenty mobile "gift packages" outside have arrived.

"Perfect."

Shen Tian stepped out of the air-raid shelter, facing the swirling sandstorm, and looked towards the end of the dark, surging tide of beasts.

"The stove is just hot."

"We need to find some firewood to test the fire."
