Looking at the surrounding students who seemed completely unfazed, Shen Ling shook his head slightly.
What exactly had happened? Why had the Beast Tide erupted so quickly in this life?
A-49 Disaster Zone, could it be that this Beast Tide was not the one from my memories?
With many questions swirling in his mind, Shen Ling did not slow his pace. After all, this was an excellent opportunity to gather Enhanced Orbs.
However, before that, Shen Ling first rushed to his laboratory. After packing dozens of deep blue vials into his Spatial Device, he headed towards the East District, ready to set off.
These deep blue vials were the results of Shen Ling's experiments over the past few days.
They contained stamina potions that could replenish physical strength in a very short time; just one vial was enough to completely restore Shen Ling's energy.
With this assurance, Shen Ling felt more at ease and was ready to use the Soul Grazing Touch without worry.
East District.
When Shen Ling arrived, a dozen students had just boarded a black-gray flying vehicle, its surface marked with countless scars that seemed to testify to its battle achievements.
Seeing there were still seats available, Shen Ling hurriedly squeezed on board. The youthful faces of the surrounding students were filled with passion and excitement.
Meanwhile, Shen Ling closed his eyes to rest. In the uncertain duration ahead, rest would be a rare luxury.
"Shen Ling?"
Just as he had fallen asleep, Shen Ling was awakened by a voice. Opening his bleary eyes, he saw none other than his captain from his previous life, Lu Xingyao.
How did he end up on this aircraft?
However, Shen Ling quickly felt at ease. Lu Xingyao was already a formal member of the City Guard, so his presence here didn’t seem too unbelievable.
“Brother Lu?”
“Don’t call me that anymore. I heard from the Vice Chairperson that you hunted and killed ten Low-Level Elite Disaster Beasts last time. Is that true?”
Lu Xingyao still wore a reserved expression, but there was a hint of curious disbelief in his demeanor.
Before Shen Ling could respond, the other students around them perked up, all displaying shock as they looked at this usually quiet comrade.
“ senior Brother Lu, what did you just say? Shen Ling killed ten elites during his last hunt?”
“How is that even possible?”
The speaker was Xue Haitao, who prided himself on being one of the strongest among this cohort of students and was known for his arrogance.
If it weren’t for Lu Xingyao graduating a year earlier, they probably wouldn’t believe what he said.
Despite being interrupted, Shen Ling remained unperturbed and replied calmly.
“Brother Lu, you misheard.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Haitao let out a smug snort, while Lu Xingyao frowned, clearly skeptical of Shen Ling’s words. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, Shen Ling continued speaking.
"Altogether there are eleven, if I remember correctly, six Low-Tier Elites and five High-Level Elites!"
Lu Xingyao nodded in realization, "No wonder, after this training session, your strength must have improved. However, this mission is not simple, so you must be careful."
"Brother Lu, you should be careful too. I don't know why, but I always feel that this Beast Tide is strange!"
Lu Xingyao seemed to miss the underlying meaning in Shen Ling's words. After smiling and nodding at Shen Ling, he walked into the control room of the aircraft.
The remaining students looked at Shen Ling with curiosity, clearly not fully believing what he had just said.
Xue Haitao's expression was filled with disdain, as if he believed not a word of Shen Ling's claims.
"Some people just like to brag. Talking about killing eleven Elite Disaster Beasts? Why not say they killed a Leader-Class Disaster Beast instead?"
"When we get to the real battlefield, some people might not even be able to stand up!"
After Xue Haitao made his remarks, Shen Ling showed no intention of explaining himself. He simply closed his eyes and continued to rest.
The others couldn't help but wonder if Shen Ling was indeed just boasting.
Soon, half an hour passed, and Shen Ling and the others finally arrived at their destination, the A-49 Disaster Zone.
As they opened the aircraft door, they found a temporary combat base already established outside. Countless City Guard members were bustling about, creating a lively atmosphere.
As soon as they stepped out of the aircraft, Yan Wudao had already approached them.
"Not bad, you haven't disappointed me; there are indeed so many who are not afraid of death."
"This mission is extremely urgent and also serves as the final test for you to become official City Guard members."
"A small spatial vortex has suddenly erupted in this area, bringing forth many indigenous species from the disaster spirit realm, known as catastrophe beasts. Your task is to kill as many catastrophe beasts as possible. Your communicators have activated the contribution calculation system."
"As long as you are within the A-49 zone, all your kill records will be uploaded to the command center. Each Spirit-Level Disaster Beast you kill will earn you 1 Score, each Elite Disaster Beast will earn you 10 Scores, each Leader-Class Disaster Beast will earn you 100 Scores, and each Monarch-level disaster beast will earn you 1000 Scores."
"Submitting the carcasses of catastrophe beasts that are at least 80% intact will grant you additional Scores of the same level, with no upper limit. After this mission concludes, you can exchange your Scores for contribution points in Dragon City or directly redeem them for Supreme Strengthening Resources in the Spirit Conjurer Alliance."
"If you need equipment, head over to the Logistics Department. You can also obtain a disposable capture device there for retrieving catastrophe beast carcasses."
"My only requirement for your mission is to survive as long as possible and kill as many catastrophe beasts as you can!"
After Yan Wudao finished speaking, he left the group to digest the information and vanished from sight.
While everyone was still in shock, Shen Ling had already arrived at the Logistics Department.
"Hello, I’m here to collect a disposable capture device!"
"Oh? You’re backup members of the City Guard? You’ve come quite quickly!"
The woman speaking seemed very surprised. Upon noticing that Shen Ling was not interested in chatting, she refrained from saying more.
"What a cool guy. According to regulations, you can collect thirty disposable capture devices. If you wish to obtain more later, you'll have to use the Score exchange system—one Score for one disposable capture device."
Shen Ling had anticipated this. After receiving a bundle of capsule-like objects, he simply said thank you and left the logistics area.
These entirely white capsule objects were Disposable Capture Devices, each capable of capturing only one catastrophe beast.
However, their advantage lay in the fact that they could be stored within a Spatial Device.
Once prepared, Shen Ling walked out of the Temporary Base and quickly set off in a specific direction.
After moving nearly five kilometers away from the camp, Shen Ling summoned Ya Zai.
The hunt then began.
Across the wasteland, Ya Zai transformed into a streak of red light, effortlessly defeating every Elite Disaster Beast it encountered with a single strike.
Shen Ling summoned Xiao Hei, quietly following behind Ya Zai while relentlessly activating the Soul Grazing Touch.
In less than three hours, Shen Ling's thirty Disposable Capture Devices were already filled to capacity.
Additionally, the Soul Grazing Touch had been activated nearly a hundred times. During most of those instances, due to the low abilities of the catastrophe beasts, Shen Ling did not condense any Enhanced Orbs.
Nevertheless, Shen Ling's gains were still quite remarkable.
Faced with nearly fifty Ability Enhancement Orbs, Shen Ling waved his hand, allowing Ya Zai to devour almost half of them, which caused Ya Zai to fall into a deep sleep.
