Chapter 129: Ten Realm Martial Master!

~8 min read 1,436 words

The sunlight was like blood.

Outside Mu Shan Cheng, tens of thousands of corpses lay strewn across the wilderness.

The Galloping Wolf Army, having halted their pursuit, leapt down from their war wolves.

Gu Han likewise dismounted from the little wolf that had rarely served as his mount, gazing at the corpses scattered everywhere, he silently mourned in his heart.

Many of those who died on the battlefield were once companions they had lived and worked with day and night.

Even though Gu Han was not a member of the Warrior Camp.

In yesterday's defense battle, and just now's counterattack,

Many people had also been personally rescued by Gu Han.

Others had once blocked the enemy's encirclement for Gu Han, or for Gu Chen.

But many of them have already died on the battlefield.

In Gu Han's eyes, those who died on the battlefield are all heroes!

At this moment, even though every member of the Galloping Wolf Army knows that dying on the battlefield is a warrior's fate,

but when one actually looks out and sees nothing but corpses,

no one can truly keep their heart at ease.

Guan Zhen rushed over to thank Wang Kaisan and the others who had come to reinforce.

Zhou Kuan and the injured Guan Shan once again shouldered the task of cleaning up the battlefield and reinforcing the defenses of Mu Shan Cheng.

Although the Saber-Toothed Army retreated in disarray this time, no one could be certain they would not make a comeback.

Only by preparing defensive measures can one better cope with possible dangers.

Gu Han felt a stir in his heart and approached Zhou Kuan, who was in the midst of assigning duties,

"General Zhou, let me take charge of the battlefield cleanup duty."

Zhou Kuan looked at Gu Han, whose gaze seemed calm but could not hide his inner sorrow, and silently nodded.

He understood that someone like Gu Han, experiencing his first battlefield,

might, in the heat of battle, discard fear due to an adrenaline surge and press forward relentlessly.

but once the battle ends, a profound sense of loss and self-doubt will well up.

Having Gu Han do something for the fallen soldiers might ease his heart a little.

Gu Han led the logistics soldiers and dug a huge burial pit at the foot of the mountain outside the city.

Next, combat soldiers will be responsible for clearing the battlefield.

They will finish off enemies who are feigning death or severely wounded.

Only then will the logistics soldiers load the corpses onto ox carts and transport them to the burial pit for interment.

This is also the day when the logistics soldiers, having arrived at the front, have their most burdensome task.

It is also one of the reasons why all conscripted soldiers do not wish to become logistics soldiers.

Nobody likes dealing with corpses.

Especially since many of the corpses could have been people who were chatting and laughing with oneself just the day before.

Of course, except for Gu Han.

Gu Han took on this task, aside from wanting to contribute something for his fallen comrades,

another reason was to seize the opportunity to better absorb attributes.

Tens of thousands of corpses, even though the vast majority were not personally slain by Gu Han,

still brought him terrifying qi blood and attributes.

allowing him to leap over several minor realms in one go, reaching the rank of Ten Realm Martial Master!

Moreover, Gu Han's foundation continues to climb at an extremely rapid pace.

At the same time, while Gu Han was dividing his attention,

the sound of opening treasure chests kept echoing in his mind.

and Gu Han had no intention of carefully listening to the system's prompts.

He simply ignored them all, planning to deal with the spoils of this battle only after everything was over.

The only thing that made Gu Han regretful was that, in this battle, the Saber-Toothed Army lost only two Martial Ancestors.

The number of those who died as Great Martial Masters was also not large.

Although there were many Martial Masters, those not personally slain by Gu Han seemingly would not always yield treasure chests.

If it were not for the sufficiently large number of fallen Saber-Toothed Army soldiers,

the number of treasure chests obtained would probably be less than the haul from last night's battle.

After all, those who could follow Qiu Lin and carry out the siege mission could be said to be the elite of the Saber-Toothed Army.

Unlike today's battle, where the Saber-Toothed Army's strength was uneven.

This time, because the combat soldiers clearing the battlefield had already taken the storage rings from the corpses,

Gu Han thus ended up with far less extra gain.

After several hours of busy work, Gu Han finally finished absorbing all the attributes, stood up, and stretched.

Accompanying the logistics soldiers, after filling in the burial pit, Gu Han then returned to the Firehead Camp and began to eat heartily.

Battle consumes the most energy; after such prolonged exertion, he was already famished.

Gu Han, while devouring the large table of food specially prepared for him at the Firehead Camp in a whirlwind,

while, through the system, converting all the monster beast inner elixirs obtained from the treasure chests, and other resources for raising monster beasts,

were entirely used to nurture the little wolf!

And the corpses of the saber-toothed pigs also provided Gu Han with a vast amount of monster beast qi blood.

This also let Little Wolf, in one breath, eat until he was stuffed like a big fat man.

Having just become a two-star ten-level, in one breath he reached three-star nine-level!

Only one breath away, Little Wolf could keep up with Gu Han's pace and enter a brand-new ten-level again!

The speed of this strength increase can be called terrifying!

Yesterday Gu Han could only barely match the Wu Sect.

But now facing those low-ranking camp Bijang, Gu Han could probably easily defeat them in battle.

Only someone like Di Ying or Zhou Kuan, who in the Wu Sect could be considered an outstanding strong one.

Perhaps Gu Han still needs to spend some effort.

At the same time, with the opening of the treasure chest, Gu Han finally possessed a first-rate peak martial art.

Precisely the gatekeeping martial art that has accompanied him from the start: Blazing Fist!

This time, Gu Han did not continue choosing to spread benefits evenly.

Instead, he poured all his other martial arts experience into his strongest martial art, the Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger.

Now the Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger's proficiency has reached the fifth level: Furnace Fire Pure Blue.

A heaven-tier top-grade martial art of Furnace Fire Pure Blue.

To reach the peak of perfection, he still lacks about half of the martial arts experience.

If this were to get out, who knows how many strong people would be made envious!

Just after Gu Han had barely filled his stomach, Officer Qian Fu came to his door.

"Gu Han, I ran around and finally found you."

Qian Fu was running so hard he could barely catch his breath,

"The Generals are holding a victory feast; I've been looking for you, hurry over."

Upon hearing that, Gu Han showed a face full of helplessness.

Eating is happy, but it also depends on who you eat with.

Although he is now a Dutong, he is not very familiar with the Generals and other Dutongs.

Eating together could be called agony, and that would not be an exaggeration.

However, Gu Han, being idle, also did not want to be the person who doesn't fit in.

He immediately thanked Qian Fu and followed him toward the victory feast.

Along the way, Qian Fu couldn't help but feel emotional and envious.

Initially, the one responsible for investigating the death of the veteran logistics soldier Li Xuan was Qian Fu.

That was because Gu Han had extraordinary talent but was unwilling to join the new recruits' Warrior Camp, which made Qian Fu feel regret for a while.

Back then he somewhat had the feeling of resenting iron for not becoming steel.

But nobody expected that in just a few short months...

Although Gu Han nominally still had not joined the Warrior Camp.

But his achievements have far surpassed him, leaving him far behind!

This made Qian Fu feel both emotional and genuinely happy.

He sincerely did not hope that a talent like Gu Han would be buried in the Logistics Camp.

Fortunately, gold will shine wherever it is.

Gu Han also finally shone with his own brilliance on the battlefield.
