Chapter 67: God-Grade Soul Shield! An Extremely Absurd Reason!

Immediately following this, Zhou Chu took another look at the Soul Shield, whose proficiency he had just raised to God-grade last night.

【Soul Shield (God-grade): Can generate a shield composed of soul power around oneself, capable of effectively resisting all attacks from the outside world as well as the influence of negative spells. The strength of the shield is 2000% of one's own Soul Power attribute; this shield can be stacked, with a maximum of 100 stacks.】

At this moment, now that it had become God-grade, the Soul Shield had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when it was at the Fine-grade.

The current Soul Shield could not only resist all attacks and negative spells, but its strength had also increased to 20 times one's Soul Power attribute.

Furthermore, it was even possible to stack the shield strength up to 100 layers.

Calculating based on Zhou Chu's current 740 points of Soul Power, after Zhou Chu stacked it to 100 layers, the shield strength would reach as high as 1.48 million.

Even when encountering the most formidable attacks, he could stand tall and unmoving.

After equipping the Source of Calamity, the Soul Shield had no cooldown time, and Zhou Chu could completely achieve rapid stacking.

Moreover, as Zhou Chu's Soul Power Value grew higher and higher, the strength of the shield would also become stronger and stronger.

A God-grade skill is truly too heaven-defying!

Zhou Chu felt that in the future, he must obtain as much equipment that increases the Soul Power attribute as possible, so that he could better exert his own advantages.

……

Didu, Daxia City, Exorcism Army Headquarters.

"What did you say? The No. 15 and No. 18 Demon Caves on the Southern Front have been taken out?"

After hearing the report from an adjutant, Grand Commander Long Aofei's face revealed a look of slight surprise.

Although they had dispatched a luxurious lineup of five Vanguard Teams and the Xiaolong Squad, it was not so easy to pull out these two malignant tumors in a short period of time.

He was quite familiar with the strength of the troops under his command.

If the commanders of the respective units formulated proper strategies and there were no major mistakes, it would take at least two months to see results at the fastest.

Yet, it had only been a mere week, and they had actually completed this heavy responsibility ahead of schedule; this was something he truly had not expected.

"Hahaha, as expected of my Exorcism Army's elite troops! When they return in triumph, I must grant them the top merit!" Long Aofei felt great joy in his heart and said with a smile, feeling deeply gratified.

"Uh, Grand Commander, actually... there is another story behind this..." Seeing that his superior was in high spirits, the adjutant did not want to dampen his mood, but according to the facts transmitted back, it seemed to have no direct relation to these elite troops under his command.

Therefore, the adjutant hesitated before wanting to report the truth.

"If there is another story, speak quickly; don't hem and haw!" Long Aofei frowned slightly after hearing this and said with some displeasure.

The adjutant knew well that this superior changed his face faster than turning a book, so he did not hesitate any longer and hurriedly said: "Actually, the Vanguard Teams and the Xiaolong Squad were ambushed several times by the Calamity Legion in the previous battles, and all suffered no small losses."

"Moreover, this time an A-Grade Calamity appeared in the No. 15 Demon Cave; the Xiaolong Squad was nearly wiped out, and the Captain, Chu Shuangshuang, was even severely injured and nearly lost her life!"

"What?"

Hearing these words, the smile on Long Aofei's face instantly vanished, replaced by a look of rage.

He slapped the table and stood up abruptly, saying in a deep voice: "The Xiaolong Squad was actually ambushed? And it happened several times?"

"As the commander, is Chu Shuangshuang not aware of how big a mistake she made?"

"How could she keep drilling into the enemy's ambush circles? Is her brain broken?"

Seeing his superior in such a rage, the adjutant felt a tremor in his heart, but he still hurriedly explained: "Grand Commander, you may not know, but this A-Grade Calamity this time was once a staff officer in our Exorcism Army."

"It is Ni Made, Staff Officer Ni!"

As soon as Long Aofei heard this name, the rage on his face grew even more intense: "So it was this guy! Back then, this guy volunteered to go to the front line with the Scout Team to investigate the Magic Source Core."

"Due to his incorrect command, he threw away the lives of Lao Zhou and his team members in vain. To escape responsibility, this guy became a deserter."

"I didn't expect that he would turn around and defect to the Calamity Legion, willingly degenerating into a lackey of the Calamity Forces; he is truly detestable!"

The adjutant continued: "According to news from the front line, the ambush he set this time was extremely hidden, utilizing the harsh environment around the Demon Cave and other means, making it impossible for the Vanguard Teams and the Xiaolong Squad to defend against. They entered his encirclement time and time again!"

"And by consuming the souls of Soul Professionals, he made his own strength stronger day by day, which is why our troops suffered such heavy losses."

After listening to the adjutant's report, Long Aofei was silent for a moment before asking: "Then how is it that the No. 15 and No. 18 Demon Caves were pulled out at the same time?"

The adjutant paused before saying: "It is said that on the No. 18 side, the monsters voluntarily raised the white flag, and the Magic Source Core in the Demon Cave self-destructed..."

Speaking to this point, even the adjutant felt this reason was extremely absurd and did not want to continue.

"Bullshit! Who said this? When have you ever seen those monsters voluntarily raise a white flag?"

"And the Magic Source Core self-destructed? Are their brains broken? Daring to spout nonsense in broad daylight?"

Long Aofei was instantly enraged and slammed the table with a bang; the reason was simply too absurd.

The adjutant was also speechless and continued: "There is something even more outrageous; it is said that the one who took out the No. 15 Demon Cave was a high school student from Tianhua No. 1 High School who is about to graduate."

"They also said this high school student has the special ability to command Calamity monsters, not only killing Staff Officer Ni who had turned into a monster but also making the Calamity monsters use a Purification Stone to destroy the Magic Source Core in the Demon Cave."

"Isn't this just telling a lie with eyes wide open?"

Upon hearing this, Long Aofei's heart gave a violent jolt, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Wh, what? You said it was a high school student from Tianhua No. 1 High School?"

The adjutant nodded and helplessly spread his hands: "Yes. Superior, you tell me, a high school student being able to take out the No. 15 Demon Cave, isn't that quite outrageous?"

Long Aofei hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, this is not outrageous. Quickly tell me, what is this high school student's name?"

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, recalled, and said: "It seems to be named Zhou, Zhou what was it?"

"Zhou Chu!" Long Aofei interjected at this moment.

"Oh, right, right, right, it seems to be Zhou Chu!" The adjutant nodded repeatedly.

However, he soon realized something was wrong and asked in surprise: "Superior, you know Zhou Chu?"

Long Aofei's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "So it was this kid after all. This time I must grant this kid another top merit!"

Seeing that the expression on Long Aofei's face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny after hearing the name Zhou Chu, the adjutant couldn't help but ask: "Superior, isn't this Zhou Chu just a high school student? How could he possibly take out this old malignant tumor?"

However, Long Aofei did not explain, but instead immediately ordered: "Hurry and send people to the Southern Front base to bring this kid back for me..."

Halfway through his sentence, Long Aofei felt he could not wait that long and hurriedly said: "Immediately prepare a helicopter for me; I am going to the Southern Front myself!"
