Chapter 159: Master and Disciple! Killing to Obtain Spiritual Essence
Chapter 159: Master and Disciple! Killing to Obtain Spiritual Essence
"It's right here." Li Yuan's figure moved like lightning, but at this moment, he deliberately slowed himself down, his mind calm to the extreme, listening intently to the sounds within the wall.
Huff!
"I rushed here earlier, which affected my condition," Li Yuan took a deep breath, his inner strength circulating and flowing. Countless subtle forces relaxed slightly, preparing for the next burst.
Li Yuan didn't rush forward but instead focused on adjusting his state.
The momentum couldn't last long.
Like 19th-level Advanced Warriors, their sprinting speed could reach 100 meters per second, but it was impossible to sustain it for long... Li Yuan's burst of power in his Mind's Eye state was even more so.
Just like ordinary people, they could often sprint at 10 meters per second, but would it take only 100 seconds to run 1000 meters?
The opponent was a Second-Rank Fish Spirit Warrior, an Alien of this level. If Li Yuan were to face it alone, he would have no chance of victory.
Huff!
Li Yuan moved silently, his Primordial Energy Battle Suit already activated.
Without infusing Source Energy, the defense of the battle suit would decrease significantly.
However, without the Source Energy enhancement, the battle suit, hidden beneath the outer layer of armor, was unremarkable, allowing Li Yuan to easily blend into the darkness.
With a light leap, Li Yuan jumped onto the school wall, which was four to five meters high, and crouched on top of it.
He looked down.
From above, Li Yuan could see the situation clearly. On the school playground, more than 300 meters away...
Two figures, one a terrifying giant enveloped in blue light, and the other like a flame warrior holding a long spear.
They were engaged in a fierce battle.
The battlefield, to be precise, was near the side of one of the classroom buildings.
At this moment, that classroom building was half-collapsed, and faint wails could be heard.
Obviously, they were affected by the aftermath of the battle between the two powerful beings.
At the same time.
Li Yuan's peripheral vision swept across, and he noticed many more figures on the playground and between the classroom buildings, engaged in intense combat.
They were all Human Warriors and Fish Spirit Clan Warriors.
With just a glance, Li Yuan immediately determined that the Human Warriors were at an absolute disadvantage.
"【Target life form, Life Tier 19.9】"
"【Target life form, Life Tier 20.1, Second-Rank, Lightly Injured, currently at approximately 19.9, killing will obtain Spiritual Essence】" In an instant, Li Yuan's Heart Perception grasped the basic information of the two powerful beings engaged in battle.
"【Target life form, Life Tier 19.1】"
"【Target life form, Life Tier 18.1】"
"【...】" Li Yuan quickly scanned the other Fish Spirit Clan Warriors visible to the naked eye, obtaining their information in a flash.
The result of scanning the only Second-Rank Fish Spirit Warrior immediately caught Li Yuan's attention.
Obtain Spiritual Essence?
"My Spiritual Awakening has already reached its limit, and I've killed countless Fish Spirit Clan Warriors during this mission, yet there's been no improvement," Li Yuan thought. "Why is the Divine Palace panel prompting me that killing this Second-Rank Fish Spirit Warrior will obtain Spiritual Essence?"
It had already reached its limit.
Previously, the Spiritual Awakening limit had increased from 20% to 25% due to his Mental Power breaking through to the 20th level.
"Even 19th-level Aliens didn't trigger this."
"Could it be because it's a Second-Rank Alien?" A thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind.
He had never killed a Second-Rank Alien before.
However.
The situation was urgent, and Li Yuan didn't have time to ponder. From the moment he jumped onto the wall to when he fully understood the situation, less than 0.5 seconds had passed, and he had already leaped down.
Like lightning, he rushed towards a Human Warrior who had fallen into a desperate situation.
...
Beside the classroom building.
"Kill! Kill!" The Second-Rank Fish Spirit Warrior roared, his four arms tightly gripping two battle knives, and he pounced on Xu Bo with lightning speed.
"Boom~"
The ground cracked repeatedly, and countless stones flew in all directions. Their casual attacks, even when landing on the nearby classroom building, would cause it to shatter, sending up a shower of debris.
Fortunately.
These classroom buildings were reinforced with advanced construction technology, making them highly durable. It was only after a prolonged battle that the entire building began to collapse.
Huff! Huff! Xu Bo activated his Star Vessel, channeling Source Power, his figure graceful and free. His entire body was like a gust of wind, dodging the Second-Rank Fish Spirit Warrior's attacks and gradually gaining control of the battle.
Meanwhile, the long spear in his hand was incredibly domineering, and every strike accurately hit the Second-Rank Fish Spirit Warrior, causing damage.
"This Second-Rank Fish Spirit Warrior must have just broken through."
"The Fish Spirit Star Realm is only a First-Rank Star Realm, and only First-Rank beings can enter." Xu Bo was fighting for his life, but his mind remained calm. "Its skills are very immature; it must have just achieved Mind-Body Unity recently."
"However, even if it just broke through, it's still a Second-Rank being. Unless I fully activate three Star Vessels, I won't be able to catch up to it." Xu Bo's eyes turned cold. "Only my skills can make up for it."
"My Body Technique and Spear Technique are both close to Fourth Stage Advanced, allowing me to hold my ground and entangle it."
"But..."
"Although it doesn't have a Source Energy Battle Suit, its skin is naturally tough, and with Source Energy enhancement, its defense has skyrocketed... It's hard for me to inflict fatal damage."
Xu Bo was well aware of the situation.
If the battle continued like this, Xu Bo had a chance to win.
However, the key issue was that with Xu Bo's injuries, he couldn't hold out for long, and his strength would continue to decline.
Once defeated, the other human warriors would be swiftly overwhelmed, and the students and parents in several school buildings would be mercilessly slaughtered.
In this half-collapsed school building, many had already been buried, their wails causing Xu Bo's heart to bleed.
But there was no other way!
Xu Bo tried to lure the Tier 2 Fish Spirit Tribe Warrior away from the area.
But the Tier 2 Fish Spirit Tribe Warrior didn't fall for it and kept attacking the school building relentlessly, forcing Xu Bo to stay and fight, doing his best to protect the building from severe damage.
"Old Xing and the others..."
"I hope they can hold on until reinforcements arrive." Xu Bo had already noticed that there were many more advanced Fish Spirit Clan warriors within Nanhuang Primary School.
Fortunately!
The team he led was overall stronger, with the lowest-ranked member being a 17th-level warrior, a true 'elite' force, which was why they had held out this long.
Suddenly—
"Huff!"
Over a hundred meters away, a streak of light flashed by, followed by the defeat of the Fish Spirit Tribe Warrior above level 18 after only two clashes.
"Hmm?"
"Reinforcements? Such speed, such lethal spear skills." Xu Bo caught a glimpse with his peripheral vision, but it was hard to see clearly in the darkness.
He couldn't make out the person's appearance.
Xu Bo subconsciously felt that the fleeting figure of the human warrior seemed somewhat familiar.
On the other side—
Xu Bo, engaged in fierce combat, didn't have much spare energy to pay attention to other directions.
Holding back this Tier 2 alien warrior was the best protection he could offer to the other human warriors.
...
"Bang!" "Boom!"
Near the collapsed school wall, Li Yuan unleashed his full power, his figure like lightning, leaping over the struggling human warrior. His long spear suddenly thrust out with incredible ferocity.
He relentlessly attacked the 19.1-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
Spear shadows danced in rapid succession.
Then, a spear light burst forth, piercing the opponent's neck, and blood splattered.
The long spear was swiftly retracted, nearly severing half of the Fish Spirit Clan warrior's thick neck.
The 19-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior fell to the ground.
"In terms of strength, you're no weaker than the Fish Spirit Clan warrior at the school, perhaps even stronger," Li Yuan glanced at the fallen warrior before leaping towards another advanced Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
Compared to the situation at the school gate, Li Yuan, now wielding a long spear with full power, had increased his strength severalfold from when he only had a short knife, making his lethality astonishing.
The 19-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior was no match for him.
"Instructor Xing, go help the others," Li Yuan's calm voice floated over.
Instructor Xing, who had just been rescued and was still catching his breath, hadn't even had a chance to thank Li Yuan when he heard this familiar voice, and his heart skipped a beat. "Li Yuan?"
He found it hard to believe.
In his memory, Li Yuan, who had graduated from high school less than half a year ago and had likely just become a warrior, could now kill a 19-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior in the blink of an eye?
The change was too drastic for Instructor Xing to process immediately.
Huff! Li Yuan had already dashed out dozens of meters, spearing another advanced Fish Spirit Clan warrior into the air.
"Amazing," Instructor Xing sighed inwardly, then he too flew out to aid the other warriors in the team.
Unconsciously—
"Old Xu," Instructor Xing glanced at Xu Bo, who was still engaged in fierce combat with the Tier 2 alien warrior in the distance.
"You must hold on."
If Instructor Xing wanted to survive, his best option was to immediately leave Nanhuang Primary School and escape into the complex streets far away... But he didn't do that.
And he wasn't the only one.
Most of the human warriors rescued by Li Yuan took only a second to catch their breath before charging towards other Fish Spirit Clan warriors.
Everyone was clear in their minds.
There was no retreat; they could only fight with all their might, and today, there was hope that everyone would survive.
...
"Pff!" Another spear pierced through the body of an advanced Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
"28 seconds."
"Five advanced Fish Spirit Clan warriors killed." Li Yuan's gaze swept across the battlefield.
The intense battle continued, but the situation for the human warriors had greatly improved.
Just then—
Boom! Boom! Boom! A small flying vehicle swiftly descended, and several figures leaped out.
"Kill!" "Kill!"
Roars of anger echoed as Fang Longhu and his team, after some hesitation, finally chose to take the risk and join the battle.
"Reinforcements have arrived."
"Other warrior squads are here." The surviving human warriors became more excited, seeing the hope of victory and survival.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side—
Boom!
Li Yuan's body was like an arrow released from a bow, dashing dozens of meters in an instant, and rushing towards Xu Bo, who was still engaged in fierce combat with the Tier 2 Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
After a few leaps and dodges, he was already close.
"Boom!" Li Yuan gripped his spear and leaped forward, releasing his terrifying strength, which surged into the long spear.
At the spear's tip, a faint yellow light flowed.
It was known that Li Yuan, in his state of heightened perception, had achieved a punching power of 35,000 kilograms, and with the addition of Source Energy and his charging momentum, this spear attack was truly formidable.
"Whoosh!"
The spear thrust straight towards the chest of the Tier 2 Fish Spirit Clan warrior!
