Chapter 80: Join the Battle Against the Beast Tide!

“Hahaha…”

Looking at the system interface, Su Xiaobai couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

His strength had finally reached the level of a Martial Commander!

With the enhancement of two Lesser Transcendent techniques and the breakthrough from Martial Master to Martial General, his power had taken a tremendous leap!

“Ordinary Martial Commander… It seems that the subdivisions of minor realms are different after reaching the Martial Commander level!”

Previously, the levels were divided into the most distinct tiers: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

But now, it had changed to ‘Ordinary Martial Commander’.

Could it be that there was an ‘Extraordinary Martial Commander’ beyond this?

“When the opportunity arises, I need to figure out the levels beyond Martial Commander.”

“For now, it’s time to deal with the Lin family!”

A sharp glint flashed in Su Xiaobai’s eyes.

He had thought that after eliminating the Yuan family, he could live a peaceful and carefree life.

Unexpectedly, the Lin family had emerged—backed by a Martial Commander—forcing him to retreat and bide his time again.

But now, everything had changed.

At this moment, his system interface already displayed him as an Ordinary Martial Commander.

Coupled with the enhancements from

Unified Law Codex

and other techniques, defeating Lin Futian would be a mere trifle!

“The only thing I’m curious about is what level Lin Futian has reached within the Martial Commander realm.”

Su Xiaobai knew very little about levels beyond Martial Commander.

Lin Futian had been renowned for years. Even Su Xiaobai had heard of his name.

Who knew if his strength had grown over the years, potentially surpassing the level of an Ordinary Martial Commander?

“It doesn’t matter what level he’s at. I’ll kill him first and think about it later!”

As long as Lin Futian lived, Su Xiaobai would have to remain in the outskirts, living a humiliated and constrained life.

“Ling’er, stay home and cultivate. I’ll be back soon!”

Leaving a brief instruction, Su Xiaobai disappeared from the house in a flash.

The next moment, he appeared outside and turned into a blur so fast it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye, racing towards the eastern wall!

Of course, before he left, Su Xiaobai made sure to have the system send out a shadow clone.

To prevent a repeat of what happened with Lin Chen, Su Xiaobai would not leave the enemy any opportunity to exploit!

…

On the eastern wall, the beast tide was still raging.

“Help! Save me!”

“Ah! My arm! Damn it, you beast, I’ll take you down with me!”

“A beast has climbed up over there! Kill it quickly!”

“We can’t hold them back! The beasts have breached the city!”

“Forget those! Leave them to the warriors in the back! Focus only on the ones in front!”

“Quick, take it down!”

“….”

The air was filled with screams, shouts, and the clash of weapons.

Severed limbs and broken bodies littered the ground.

The corpses of ferocious beasts and warriors were intermingled, and the thick stench of blood permeated the air.

The entire eastern wall of Base 18 was drenched in blood!

This was the cruel reality of a beast tide.

Five days and four nights had passed since the beast tide began. Warriors took turns resting only during brief lulls when beasts were cleared, then returned to the fight…

But the beasts never stopped. As if summoned, waves of them surged in like an endless tide.

Batch after batch. Wave after wave.

Seemingly infinite!

However, no matter how brutal the battle on the wall was, it wasn’t the key to determining victory.

The real decisive battle was being fought by the five Martial Commanders against the White Ape and the Trihorn Flame Rhino!

If the Martial Commanders were defeated, it would mean the fall of the human base.

Only by killing or driving off the White Ape and the Trihorn Flame Rhino could humanity claim victory in this war!

“Damn it! I had several chances to kill that Trihorn Flame Rhino, but every time, the White Ape intervened!”

“The White Ape has been our foe for eleven years now—this year makes twelve… Of course, it’s bound to have improved!”

“That Trihorn Flame Rhino’ hide is ridiculously tough! Without striking its weak spots, we can’t hurt it at all!”

“This is bad… I’m out of recovery pills!”

“Me too!”

“Quick, get someone to send more pills over!”

The Martial Commanders were locked in a grueling battle.

Five days and four nights of continuous high-intensity combat—only Martial Commanders could endure it.

Throughout this long and bloody fight, they had clashed with the White Ape and the Trihorn Flame Rhino countless times.

They had brushed past death countless times!

All five Martial Commanders bore varying degrees of injuries…

But the White Ape and the Trihorn Flame Rhino weren’t unscathed either. They too had sustained wounds.

Even so, neither side showed any intention of retreating, fighting with all their might!

But a critical problem had arisen— the Martial Commanders were out of recovery pills.

Without timely replenishment, they wouldn’t be able to unleash many more Lesser Transcendent techniques.

Meanwhile, the White Ape and the Trihorn Flame Rhino seemed to have boundless strength and stamina.

Even after sustaining injuries, their powerful regenerative abilities allowed them to recover over time.

The tide of battle was beginning to shift in favor of the beasts.

All five Martial Commanders could sense an unprecedented crisis looming!

…

“What a brutal scene…”

Su Xiaobai had arrived at the eastern wall.

From a distance, he could already smell the thick stench of blood and had casually slain several beasts trying to infiltrate the base.

As he approached, seeing the blood-soaked wall and the corpses of warriors and beasts scattered everywhere, he frowned deeply.

This was his first time witnessing such a cruel war up close.

Even though he had personally killed many people in brutal ways, seeing such a grand and horrific scene of carnage and a sea of corpses still made him feel a bit uneasy.

“Lin Futian… If nothing unexpected happens, he should be outside the wall!”

Su Xiaobai ascended the wall.

On the wall, warriors were locked in a fierce struggle against invading beasts.

With a casual motion, Su Xiaobai unleashed a

True Flame Hand

—a massive fiery palm as tall as a person—which instantly cleared an entire line of beasts!

With a reverse grip, a long blade appeared in his hand. With a single slash into the void, a long arc of blade energy tore through the climbing beasts, shredding them into pieces!

Many people turned to Su Xiaobai with astonished expressions.

Some marveled at how young he was to possess such high-level cultivation.

Others were amazed that he had mastered such advanced elemental and weapon techniques.

But what surprised them the most was how familiar Su Xiaobai seemed—like they had seen him somewhere before.

“Found him!”

Su Xiaobai’s gaze locked onto Lin Futian, several kilometers away, who was battling the White Ape and the Trihorn Flame Rhino!

Without a word, Su Xiaobai dashed forward!
