Chapter 300

War and fresh blood are an eternal, unchanging melody.

The sea-monster beasts charged ferociously forward; the low-level sea-monster beasts had not even gotten close to the "Great Wall" formed by the defensive classes before they were drowned by endless skills and perished.

They became nourishment for the class-changers, fueling their growth.

However…

Battle is no child's play, and class-changers are not made of steel and iron.

Under the suicidal onslaught of the sea-monster beasts, casualties were inevitable.

Some class-changers—those with low attributes, weak vigilance, or poor mental fortitude—were torn to shreds and devoured under the endless assault of the sea-monster beasts.

When class-changers fell, the "substitutes" at the rear of the crowd immediately stepped up.

Wave after wave after wave…

Life and death, at this moment, had perhaps been completely forgotten.

Because behind them lay East Sea City—the home they depended on for survival!

Their kin, their friends…

Everything, everything depended on them to protect!

………………

Upon the high wall.

Haiyun took in the brutal battle below at a glance, his eyes slightly reddening.

But…

As the governor of East Sea City, he had to harden his heart and put the greater good of East Sea City first!

Without the baptism of war, class-changers could never grow.

"Your kin, your friends… will be proud of you!"

Haiyun closed his eyes, clenched Yaguan tight, and said, "Have the class-changers in the rear step up!"

As the first line of defense of East Sea City, besides training Low Tier class-changers, the most important task was to buy time—to delay the low-level sea-monster beasts from approaching the high wall.

Because…

The high wall was East Sea City's strongest defense, and also its last line of defense!

If the high wall were breached, East Sea City would have reached its most dangerous moment.

To be fair.

Individual strength was compressed infinitely in such a large-scale battle; even a Tier 9 powerhouse who possessed Forbidden Spells could not look after an entire city alone.

But a Demigod could.

But… the several Demigods of East Sea City had not appeared, because… they had more important things to do!

After a long while.

Haiyun opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping toward the gathering place of the pride-of-heaven talents in the southeast.

The battle over there was proceeding in an orderly fashion…

Especially the most dazzling sightline of all—yet they had become the most ferocious group.

"They have a Promising Future!"

……

The so-called most dazzling sightline was the all-girl team led by Facing Ye Xingtong.

Yue Lingsu, as the team's core commander, held the frontmost position, a blood-red great shield propped before her, a blood-red battle-blade radiating fierce killing intent.

While raising her shield to block the monsters' attacks, she could still deliver effective counterstrikes.

At her side, Su Tuantuan wielded a warhammer in a frenzy of swings; wherever she passed, only debris remained.

Ferocity seemed to be her very epithet.

At the rear of the team, the other young women each performed their own duties, coordinating with perfect harmony under Yue Lingsu's command.

Yet the team's strongest damage output was not the violent Su Tuantuan.

It was Facing Ye Xingtong, a little newbie who had just successfully completed her second advancement.

She stood atop a strange magic array, dozens of fireballs orbiting around her, transforming into a flame Gatling, bombarding the distant sea-monster beasts one after another; a single fireball could deal considerable damage.

Most importantly…

Those fireballs would explode!

Yue Lingsu, seeing Facing Ye Xingtong's frenzied output, was filled with emotion, but still called out a reminder: "Sister Xingtong, watch your skill cooldowns and mana control."

"Understood!"

Facing Ye Xingtong was a super academic ace, and after two days of hellish training at the East Sea Military Academy, she knew every detail of combat like the back of her hand.

Moreover, she had a vice president of the Mofagong Society personally guiding her.

But she still humbly accepted Yue Lingsu's well-meaning reminder.

In her worldview, one's own flaws were hard to notice oneself; only by humbly accepting others' advice could one keep growing and keep improving.

The cold campus beauty was not just empty talk.

The pride in her heart would not allow her to fall too far behind Made Luo Chenyu.

Levels were what she wanted most right now, and what she lacked most.

"Sister Ruoyu, buff me up!"

"Okay!"

The priestess girl's support awareness was extremely strong; while watching over Yue Lingsu's and Su Tuantuan's health, she could still grant all manner of buffs to the other team members!

Within the team.

The ones with the lowest presence were Fang Yue and Zhou Xiaoying; due to their class and level, they could not yet display the strength they ought to have.

Despite that, they showed no sign of discouragement at all.

Instead, they brought a different kind of help to the team in other ways.

"Thirty meters to the front-right, there's an elite monster — I've already pulled it over!"

"The Sea Lizard's attack can petrify its target — Sister Yue, be careful!"

"……"

Zhou Xiaoying was in charge of using her summoned beasts to lure some elite monsters and BOSSes, while Fang Yue used special items to check the monsters' attributes and abilities.

Clear division of labor, each showing their own worth.

One could say……

The entire team was orderly and extremely efficient.

A team like this simply made the neighboring teams green with envy.

"I really want to join them, hunt monsters and level up with them… ptooey ptooey ptooey… defend our homeland together!"

"They're so pretty AND so strong — how are the rest of us supposed to live!"

"Psh… if they've got the nerve, take me along — I can lure monsters too!"

"Speaking of which, Goddess Ye Xingtong should have just awakened her class like Luo Shen, so how is her damage so high? One fireball takes off half a health bar?"

"Being Luo's girlfriend, she must have something special about her — what's there to make a fuss over?"

"Just do your best and mind your own business… in the end, only strength is what matters."

"With this many monsters, it's more than enough for us to level up."

"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen Luo Shen anywhere?"

"Bullshit Luo Shen — letting his girlfriend risk her life on the front line while he hides away… ah… Priest giegie, heal me up, I was wrong, I shouldn't have talked smack about Luo Shen…"

"……"

………………

In the skies above the northeastern sector.

Cold Family's Cold Zhen swept his gaze across the surroundings, yet failed to spot the figure that had made him lose face so completely, and his heart grew even more irritable.

As a Tier 9 powerhouse who had only begotten a son in his old age, he had been stripped of all dignity and his future utterly ruined by Luo Chenyu.

Such a deep blood feud was simply irreconcilable.

But unfortunately……

Right now he was somewhat powerless, because the Cold Family's Old Ancestor had already backed down, and Demigod Feng Ji still wanted him taken alive……

"I hope you don't die inside the beast tide. Hmph!"

While he was mulling it over, an ice spike shot out and instantly killed a Tier-7 sea-monster beast lurking beneath the surface.
