Chapter 302

and tried to activate it.

He could feel

that the spatial resistance had become much smaller,

but it hadn't reached the point where it could be used.

It wasn't a matter of distance,

but of needing to break through some kind of restriction.

Most likely,

it was stepping into the Titan tribe's territory, right?

"Li Yao, my teleportation talisman is guiding the way."

Kujo Mikase leaned in close to Li Yao.

"It's to the east, right?"

Kujo Mikase said lightly, "Yes, about a hundred kilometers."

A hundred kilometers might seem far.

But at the pace of a professional, it's only a matter of a few hours.

A couple of sprints, and it'll be even faster!

"That's the Titan tribe's encampment; the old chieftain just told me."

"The Titan tribe?" Wei Hai exclaimed suddenly, "Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

The others were also a bit nervous.

In the war between humans and monsters,

the primary enemy is the Titan tribe.

They had all heard from their elders about the brutality of the Titan tribe.

For small fries like them to enter the Titan tribe's territory,

wouldn't that just be serving themselves up on a platter?

"In the border regions, even if there are monsters, they shouldn't be too strong."

Li Yao said calmly, "Anyway, as long as we get inside, we can use our teleportation items to return to Blue Star."

Li Yao's words

were like a shot of adrenaline to everyone's hearts.

If the big boss says it's fine,

then it's really fine!

"Captain Li Yao, if you don't need to rest, shall we pick up the pace?"

A healer girl asked.

The desire to go home was becoming increasingly urgent,

yet she was also a bit worried about Li Yao.

After battling a True Name-level entity, they hadn't had any rest and had been traveling ever since.

"Haha, if you don't mind, I can carry you!" Wei Hai laughed.

Learning they could go home soon, everyone relaxed.

"As if Captain Li Yao needs you to carry him!" a knight teased.

He cast an ambiguous glance at that stunningly beautiful girl.

Kujo Mikase didn't blush or feel shy at all;

instead, she had an urge to give it a try.

"Don't even think about it," Li Yao said,

taking the lead and jogging forward.

At this speed, no one would feel tired.

A level 40 professional has no problem running for a day or two.

Li Yao chose not to summon Gainerat to carry everyone.

Firstly, Gainerat is naturally arrogant.

It is respectful to him, but toward others,

even professionals stronger than it,

Gainerat is extremely disdainful.

It has an 'I am the greatest in heaven and earth' attitude.

If he made everyone ride Gainerat, it might not get angry, but it wouldn't be happy either.

It is his own chess piece, after all;

he has to coax it a little!

Furthermore,

Gainerat cannot yet skillfully control its momentum.

The pressure it radiates might attract the attention of powerful monsters.

In unknown territory,

there is no need to take such risks just to save a little energy.

About an hour later,

some undulations finally appeared on the horizon.

Li Yao summoned the Azure Bird,

preparing to have it scout the path ahead.

Just as it flew into the sky,

"Skree-awk!"

Above the clouds, an extremely piercing bird cry rang out.

It was like a thunderclap, accompanied by a deafening echo.

Immediately after,

a blood-colored giant eagle with a wingspan of over a hundred meters swooped down.

Li Yao was startled.

He hadn't sensed the existence of this creature at all!

Without hesitation, he quickly called the Azure Bird down

and released an ice wall to block the giant eagle's swoop.

"Crack!"

The ice wall shattered.

The giant eagle stood in mid-air,

sizing up Li Yao and the others.

After scanning them once,

its sharp eagle eyes stared fixedly at Li Yao.

Then, it spread its wings and flew into the firmament.

The terrifying pressure vanished.

Li Yao let out a long sigh of relief.

This kind of power was far stronger than that of the Tidal Sea Spirit.

It was not even in the same league!

Everyone looked at each other with lingering fear

and couldn't help but quicken their pace.

The Abyss they had witnessed

was merely an Abyss under the influence of the Flame Throne Crab's power.

If that majestic power hadn't been present,

any monster that appeared would have been far beyond what they could handle!

Arriving at the base of that mountain,

just as Li Yao had anticipated,

they saw no traces of monsters.

But having experienced that giant eagle,

Li Yao dared not lower his guard.

He slowed down

and cautiously proceeded around the mountain.

With the Titan tribe's territory about to be reached,

Li Yao suddenly thought:

Having been in the Abyss for so long,

regarding the Primal Dungeon the teacher spoke of,

if it hasn't been successfully cleared,

the rift leading to the Abyss must have already opened, right?

Li Yao turned to look at Wei Hai:

"What are the requirements if one wants to participate in the war?"

Wei Hai was stunned, then explained:

"It seems there are no requirements other than the level requirement of Second Awakening."

"Once before, I accepted a contribution mission to go to the Outer Realm to participate in the war."

"Of course, that was only on the outermost front line, and the monsters encountered were only level 40 or 50."

"Li Yao, do you want to join the army? In Linbei City?"

Before Li Yao could answer, Kujo Mikase suddenly said:

"Li Yao, you don't intend to participate in the battlefield like that, do you?"

She looked at Wei Hai: "The kind of enlistment you're talking about is just the lowest-ranking 'private'; you can't join the core battlefield."

"You even know this?"

Li Yao looked at Kujo Mikase in surprise.

Enlisting in the Dragon Kingdom's army—

this Sakura person actually understands it better than Wei Hai?

"What's so strange about that?" Kujo Mikase said huffily, "It's not some secret."

"The Star Network has always had recruitment notices; you guys just didn't look!"

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

Kujo Mikase continued:

"Li Yao, with your ability, even if you join the battlefield, you naturally wouldn't be content to just be a basic front-line soldier dealing with the weakest monsters."

"Raising your military rank, joining the core troops, and dealing with high-level monsters is what geniuses like us should do."

Li Yao could see

that Kujo Mikase had a heart that yearned for the battlefield.

And not just her;

the ultimate goal of the major martial arts academies in training students is to commit them to the battlefield.

Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy is the same.

Once your strength reaches a certain level,

you will find

that on your mission list,

among the missions you can accept, some related to the battlefield will gradually appear.

Let students steadily grow stronger, then adapt to the war, and finally join the war!

This is what every academy is doing.

"How does one raise their military rank?" Li Yao asked.

"Titan tribe, Demon Insect tribe, Demigod tribe—slaying these types of monsters earns basic military merit!" Kujo Mikase replied.

"Military merit and Some Jingyu contributions are also interchangeable."

"Why does the Some Jingyu captain authority have so much power?"

"That is because"

"every one of them has fought their way out of the battlefield!"

"I see." Li Yao nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder contributions are so hard to obtain.

It turns out that killing enemies on the battlefield is the correct path to gaining contributions!

"That teacher of yours, General Xue, went from a private, step by step, to the rank of General of the Nation."

Kujo Mikase suddenly said with some reverence:

"Whether inside or outside the Dragon Kingdom, there isn't a single professional who doesn't admire her."

"You are currently at the vice-captain level; joining the army should make you a One-Star Colonel."

"Before going to the battlefield, you can first accept some battlefield missions at the Military Department."

"You can directly follow top-tier troops to charge into the core hinterland of the monsters!"

"Hmm."

Li Yao nodded in response.

There is still some time before the National Border Trial.

If the Linbei City front line opens,

then he will head to the battlefield

to see for himself

what kind of sacred monsters

this so-called brutal Titan tribe really is!

At this moment,

Li Yao and the others had reached the hinterland at the foot of the mountain.

A few more kilometers,

and they would be able to use their teleportation items

to return to Blue Star.

On the other side,

at the boundary between Blue Star and the Abyss,

the Outer Realm battlefield,

in a dense forest,

a purple vortex over several hundred meters high stood in mid-air.

Around the vortex,

dozens of formation mages were maintaining twelve formation points.

The pillars of light emitted by these twelve points

converged in the high sky,

forming a transparent barrier stretching for several kilometers.

Inside the barrier

was a temporarily constructed strategic stronghold.

Countless professionals clad in fine equipment were standing guard here.

And outside the barrier

were titans of the Demon race, each with different forms and extremely massive bodies!

They had received only one command!

Crush the barrier!
