Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Strongly Going into Battle
“War God Wei has been promoted to Crystal Base Level!”
“War God Wei is always so invincible, no matter the time.”
“Although Ouyang Yudu is strong, my idol is still War God Wei. His aura is not something a pretty boy can compare with; it’s just so satisfying to watch.”
“With Wei Wufu in hand, the world is mine.”
Watching Wei Wufu swing his huge axe, slaughtering the approaching Ultra-Burning Corps into disarray, many spectators in different locations expressed the same admiration.
Of course, there were also some discordant voices mixed in.
“It’s a pity the playboy didn’t come, otherwise, this scene might have scared him pissless.”
“My playboy never fights battles he’s not sure of; how could he let himself fall into such danger?”
“The playboy is really strong. After all, he pierced the giant fruit with a single spear thrust, which is not something an ordinary person could do.”
“That’s just the power of one spear thrust. War relies on endurance. Once the thrust goes soft, what use is it?”
“The playboy knew there would be situations like this, which is why he didn’t come at all. As long as he doesn’t show up, no one can defeat him.”
Luckily, Lin Shen couldn’t hear their discussions outside, otherwise, even if it didn’t infuriate him enough to vomit blood, it would still depress him for quite a while, considering how hard he was working.
Lin Shen wasn’t idling either. He held the Red Crystal Battle Axe in both hands, chopping at the pets and Ultra-Burn Warriors charging at him, not far from Wei Wufu.
Although not much technique was involved, his strength was sufficiently powerful. The average Alloy Level could not withstand a single chop, making any tricks on the battlefield utterly worthless and flashy for no good reason.
Just like Wei Wufu said, chop away, strength is the absolute rule.
Lin Shen mainly dealt with Alloy Level enemies. The Crystal Base Level foes were taken care of by Wei Wufu at his side.
With the addition of these two, the team felt much less pressure while defending, not needing the support of Goddess Consort Bai and Ouyang Yudu and others.
“People from the Wei Family of Tiancheng are indeed quite interesting,” Ouyang Yudu said, watching the battlefield beside Goddess Consort Bai.
“Wei Wufu is indeed strong, and Phoenix Purple Qi Jue is sufficiently domineering,” another team’s captain, Li Tiangang, added.
“Wei Wufu is indeed strong, but I’m interested in another one, his name is Tian, right?” said Ouyang Yudu, causing the other captains to pause.
All of them were top-tier Crystal Base, paying much attention to Wei Wufu and not really looking at the Alloy Level much.
With Ouyang Yudu mentioning it, they turned to look at Lin Shen. After observing him for a while, their expressions turned puzzled.
From their perspective, there seemed to be nothing about Lin Shen’s performance that warranted Ouyang Yudu’s interest. His axing method was too crude. If it wasn’t for Wei Wufu protecting him, he would have already made a blunder and been overrun by the Ultra-Burn Warriors.
Goddess Consort Bai also looked towards Ouyang Yudu, seemingly waiting for his explanation, wanting to know why he was interested in Lin Shen.
Goddess Consort Bai could tell that Lin Shen probably couldn’t use an axe well. Apart from his strength being stronger than the average Alloy Creatures, she couldn’t figure out what else about Lin Shen could attract Ouyang Yudu’s attention.
Ouyang Yudu said with a smile, “Haven’t you noticed? He’s very different from the average Alloy Level.”
“Different in what way? Really, I haven’t noticed,” Li Tiangang said after looking for a while longer, still unable to discern any difference.
“Do you know how much the Red Crystal Battle Axe weighs?” Ouyang Yudu asked in response.
No one knew the answer, and Ouyang Yudu continued, “How heavy the Red Crystal Battle Axe is specifically, I don’t know, but its weight is definitely not light. Even for Ultra-Burn Warriors of the Alloy Level, only the edges of their axes are inlaid with some Red Crystal material, instead of using the Red Crystal Battle Axe outright. This shows that the Red Crystal Battle Axe is not a weapon that Alloy Level fighters can handle easily, at least not for extended periods.”
“Maybe it’s simply because the Red Crystal material is too precious, and there’s no way to equip every common Ultra-Burn Warrior with one, right?” Li Tiangang said.
“That’s possible, but I saw a deputy legion commander get slain before, and when the Red Crystal Battle Axe fell on Sky Star Slope, the Ultra-Burn Warriors who rushed up afterwards didn’t pick up and swing the Red Crystal Battle Axe lying on the ground,” Ouyang Yudu said.
Li Tiangang was slightly taken aback, “That means, this Tian is really something. A mere Alloy Base Mutator, swinging the Red Crystal Battle Axe so vigorously over and over for so long, he really must have some strength.”
Ouyang Yudu smiled and took over the conversation, “The key is, he doesn’t even know how to use an axe properly, his way of exerting force is not quite right, nor is he good at using clever strength, which means his consumption is even greater. In my opinion, his strength and stamina far exceed that of a normal Alloy Level, and even a mutated Alloy Creature wouldn’t have such strength and stamina.”
“So, you’re saying he has some kind of Innate Skill that enhances both strength and stamina?” Li Tiangang pondered.
“The interesting part is here, if he had used an Innate Skill, there would inevitably be some peculiar changes to his body, but so far, I haven’t seen any abnormal changes on him,” Ouyang Yudu said, his gaze never leaving Lin Shen.
“That’s impossible, without using an Innate Skill, an Alloy Level couldn’t possibly have that kind of strength,” Li Tiangang said very firmly.
“Impossible?” Ouyang Yudu was noncommittal.
After the discussion among a few people, the audience watching the fight also began to notice Lin Shen.
Indeed, as Ouyang Yudu said, not a single Ultra-Burn Warrior at the Alloy Level could withstand a chop from Lin Shen without either retreating or attempting to counterattack and force Lin Shen to stay his hand.
An occasional Alloy, who didn’t know any better, would clash axes with Lin Shen, only to be continuously driven back, crashing into other Ultra-Burn Warriors behind him.
Some unfortunate ones were directly cleaved down into the abyss.
Lin Shen might not have been as conspicuous as Wei Wufu, but his strength was indeed domineering.
“Ouyang Yudu has a sharp eye; only now do I realize how strong this Tian is, practically one-shotting those of the same level!”
“After all, he is from Tiancheng; what’s there to be surprised about?”
“If he’s not good with the Battle Axe, why did he choose it? Why can’t he use a weapon he’s proficient with?”
“He practices Evolution Theory, right? Is Evolution Theory that powerful?”
“This brother Tian, who practises Evolution Theory, is too strong. I’m considering switching to Evolution Theory again.”
“I can say for sure that Evolution Theory is definitely not that fierce because my entire family practices it. Reaching the Alloy Level through Evolution Theory, one’s strength couldn’t possibly be that immense. He must have chosen a powerful Base Mutation Egg and gained some Base Change Talent that enhances strength…”
“It’s such a dilemma; who should I choose as a husband, Ouyang Yudu or War God Wei? This Tian seems pretty good too, a potential dark horse?” a young girl on a certain attic mused dreamily.
“Although looks are justice, this time Ouyang Yudu must have made a mistake; without using an Innate Skill, Alloy Level strength can’t be that strong.”
The crowd was abuzz with discussions, and it was now time for the guard rotation.
As the next team charged forth, Lin Shen intended to retreat and rest, but Wei Wufu stood at the front with no intention of withdrawing.
“Request… to fight…” Wei Wufu’s voice was steadfast as iron.
If it had been at the beginning, Wei Wufu’s request to fight would make people think he was just trying to show off.
But now that everyone had begun to tire, the wounded were increasing, and the pets were nearly all dead, who wouldn’t want to rest a bit longer? Wei Wufu’s request to continue fighting at this time, with the incoming team’s support, would only make them grateful.
