Chapter 78: Awakening Level 10, First Trigger (With On-Shelf Notification)
Chapter 78: Awakening Level 10, First Trigger (With On-Shelf Notification)
Before Dong Hai Feng could respond, two larger moon demon wolves among the pack suddenly let out a low growl, ignoring Dong Hai Feng completely. They turned and began to flee.
"Awoo!" "Awoo!" The other moon demon wolves, in a panic, followed suit and retreated.
These moon demon wolves were bloodthirsty, but not foolish.
"Trying to run?"
"They're all points, and I want them all!" Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and with a burst of strength in his legs, he leaped over a boulder with ease. He transformed into a phantom, chasing after the escaping moon demon wolves.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!" The shadows of his spear danced as Li Yuan wielded it with a life of its own, unleashing an incredible force.
"Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!" One by one, the moon demon wolves were caught up by Li Yuan, their skulls pierced by his spear, ending their lives.
Li Yuan's spear, as an advanced weapon, was exceptionally sharp, and its hardness and toughness were more than sufficient.
In just over ten seconds, more than twenty moon demon wolves had fled, but Li Yuan managed to kill nearly ten of them. The remaining wolves scattered early, fleeing past the ravines and forests, disappearing from Li Yuan's sight.
In the hundred-meter-wide forest clearing, wolf corpses were scattered everywhere, blood splattered, a gruesome sight.
"They can actually run away?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, then stopped his pursuit.
Boom!
After a few more seconds, Dong Hai Feng arrived, panting heavily beside Li Yuan. He couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Li Yuan."
"What for?" Li Yuan smiled.
"You saved me," Dong Hai Feng said solemnly.
"I should be thanking you," Li Yuan said with a faint smile. "You led them here; otherwise, I would've had to put in more effort to find them."
Dong Hai Feng was taken aback.
"Hmm?" Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristwatch, where the practical combat application data had been updated:
Points: 46
Rank: 1
Note: Practical Combat Application Goal Achieved
"That moon demon wolf was level 10.8, and I got 10 points for killing it?" Li Yuan's lips curved into a smile, thinking, "Good, I've finally made it back to first place."
With Lin Lan Yue's intelligence and Li Yuan's own strength, his points soared.
However, each time he reached the top, Wu Dongdong would quickly catch up.
"Wu Dongdong, 42 points?" Li Yuan opened the holographic display on his smart wristwatch and saw the detailed rankings:
First: Li Yuan, 46 points
Second: Wu Dongdong, 42 points
Third: Lin Lan Yue, 40 points
Fourth: Wang Yu, 32 points
...
Most students' points were below 10, and fewer than 50 people had reached triple digits.
Furthermore, Li Yuan noticed that the number of participants had dropped to 745, indicating that over 200 students had already terminated their practical combat application.
The life-or-death combat was not as easy as most elites thought.
"Dong Hai Feng, hang in there. Looking at your points, you still have a chance to break into the top 100," Li Yuan said, glancing at Dong Hai Feng, who was standing awkwardly beside him. "I'll be on my way now."
With a clear sense of direction, Li Yuan headed deeper into the 'Moon Demon Wolf Group 8 Encampment.'
According to the intelligence, a moon demon wolf encampment should have more wolves.
They should know that the moon demon wolves in the practical combat application region were captured from military bases and fed on a schedule, so their numbers were substantial.
As Li Yuan disappeared into the forest, Dong Hai Feng stood in place, silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed, "I guess Li Yuan never considered me a worthy opponent."
"Lin Lan Yue, third place?" Dong Hai Feng's eyes dimmed as he looked at his smart ring, which displayed the rankings.
"I'm such a clown."
...
Saving Dong Hai Feng?
Although Dong Hai Feng had shown a hint of dislike and hostility on the way to Jiangbei Martial University, Li Yuan never paid it any mind.
How much could the ill-will between classmates really affect him?
...
In the top floor of the Moon Demon Star Realm's War Fortress, a massive conference room was filled with officers watching the densely packed holographic projections.
"They're too weak," the muscular officer couldn't help but shake his head. "These are just ordinary moon demon wolves, and only a few are advanced. Yet, within a few hours, they've driven a quarter of the participants to seek aid."
"Look at that kid," the tall, thin officer pointed at one of the projections. "He has good skills and physical qualities, but he's not utilizing his knife's advantage and is being forced back step by step."
"It's the mindset," the thin officer continued. "In virtual combat, no matter how realistic it is, you know you won't get hurt or die, so you're not afraid. But in real combat, a slight mistake can lead to injury or death, and it's normal to be cautious."
"It'll get better after a few more real combat experiences."
The officer named Wang shook his head. "I'm worried. Look at that kid; he's doing well!" He pointed at one of the projections, showing Li Yuan rescuing Dong Hai Feng and fighting the moon demon wolves. "He's so calm, and his gun skills are excellent. Despite his weaker physical qualities, he dares to engage in close combat with advanced moon demon wolves."
"Oh?" Officer Wang looked over, his eyes lighting up, and he nodded repeatedly. "He's good!"
From the speed alone, they could tell that Li Yuan's physical qualities were not exceptionally high, probably around level 9.
But in close combat, each step and every shot of Li Yuan's were terrifyingly precise.
Despite the moon demon wolf leader's superior physical strength, he was no match for Li Yuan.
"His name is Li Yuan?"
The thin officer looked down at his data and smiled. "Physical quality level 8.9?"
"A Fourth Tier Gun Skills Expert? He's actually reached first place."
"There are several other students with even better Physical Fitness, and their Skills aren't bad either. But in combat, they often hesitate, their Mental Strength is not as strong as his."
"Moreover, he's quite lucky, encountering more Moon Demon Wolves along the way." The tall and thin officer explained.
"With this kind of strength, it's normal for him to reach first place." Officer Wang smiled, "I like these practical combat geniuses."
As soldiers, they had been on the front lines of war for years, and they didn't care much about theoretical strength.
In their eyes, only the strength one could demonstrate in battle was true strength.
"Old Ji, check his detailed information." Officer Wang instructed.
"Okay."
The tall and thin officer quickly clicked on the control panel in front of him, and Li Yuan's detailed information soon appeared.
"His family background is very ordinary!"
"Oh? He's also received the Youth Hero Title." The tall and thin officer's eyes lit up, "Old Wang, take a look."
"The Youth Hero Title?" Officer Wang was even more surprised and looked down at the information.
He read for over ten seconds.
Suddenly, both officers looked up simultaneously, as if sharing a telepathic connection, and they both smiled.
"What do you think?"
"Let's give him a spot." Officer Wang grinned, "Last year, we didn't give out any spots, and the higher-ups scolded us for it."
"I don't feel like giving these rich kids this opportunity. Do they need it? Even if I give it to them, they won't appreciate it."
"This Li Yuan, although he's from Starfire Combat Palace, he can't join our military), but with his family background, to achieve this step is in line with my temperament."
"Moreover, anyone who can obtain the Youth Hero Title must have excellent potential." Officer Wang listed a series of reasons.
"Alright."
"I think he's pretty good too." The tall and thin officer nodded, "Apart from Li Yuan, there's another one I think is quite promising."
"Tian Dazhuang?" Officer Wang asked.
"Did you see him too?"
"Yes, his practical combat mentality is slightly weaker than Li Yuan's, but he's been specially recruited by the Martial Hall. Perhaps we can try inviting him to join our military."
...
Time passed.
In the 100-kilometer-wide practical combat assessment field, mountains stretched endlessly, and countless students were engaged in fierce battles with Star Realm creatures.
Numerous Moon Demon Wolves perished.
Students frequently called for assistance, and the accompanying combat drones would arrive within ten seconds to provide aid and eliminate the attacking Moon Demon Wolves.
However, despite the swift rescue and the protective body armor covering vital areas, there were still occasional injuries and even deaths among the students.
When it was 3:00 PM, less than 200 students remained in the entire practical combat assessment field.
On the eastern side of Blade Mountain, in a desolate wilderness filled with boulders.
"Roar~" "Howl~"
"Roar!" Numerous Moon Demon Wolves howled as they continuously attempted to surround the black-armored youth standing in the center.
The bodies of countless Moon Demon Wolves lay scattered across the ground.
The pungent smell of blood was overwhelming.
The black-armored youth stood in the center, unmoved by the surrounding waves of Moon Demon Wolves. His gun circle remained unperturbed.
His shooting speed wasn't particularly fast, but every shot was incredibly precise.
One by one, the Moon Demon Wolves fell.
He stood like a firm rock, unyielding against the siege of hundreds of Moon Demon Wolves.
"Roar~" On a distant boulder, a massive Moon Demon Wolf, over three meters long and with a shoulder height of 1.5 meters, howled anxiously. It couldn't understand why the young man of a different race had such weak life energy yet possessed such terrifying strength.
This made it hesitant to act rashly.
"I don't know if I should consider myself unlucky or fortunate."
"I've actually encountered the 'Group 1' mentioned in the intelligence report." Li Yuan's eyes turned cold, his mind calm as water, "A 12.1-level Wolf King, three over 10-level Great Wolves, and countless ordinary Moon Demon Wolves."
This force was enough to make ordinary Advanced Stage Martial Artists flee in fear.
Li Yuan wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
In terms of running speed alone, his Physical Fitness wasn't particularly fast.
In the pursuit that had lasted over 20 minutes, Li Yuan had killed over 20 Moon Demon Wolves', including an Advanced Stage Moon Demon Wolf.
In the end, he was still surrounded.
"However, this continuous slaughter has also caused my Spiritual Awakening Level to soar." Li Yuan thought to himself, his eyes turning colder.
"Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 9.7%"
"Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 9.9%" With each additional Moon Demon Wolf falling, notifications kept flashing in the corner of Li Yuan's vision.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and two more notifications appeared in Li Yuan's field of view.
"Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 10%"
"Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 10%, can initiate Essence Energy Infusion once."
"Hmm? Essence Energy Infusion? Isn't the so-called Spiritual Guidance supposed to appear at 25%?" Li Yuan was startled.
Before Li Yuan could think further, a roar sounded.
On the distant boulder, the massive Wolf King, unable to hold back any longer, let out a roar and leaped, slashing towards Li Yuan with lightning speed.
