After the Spirit Mage arrived, a "Sunlightâs Embrace" rendered all the Shadow Cats unable to fight, and they were slaughtered in just a few minutes.
A sphere of light in the sky rapidly shrank, and a white figure slowly floated down, landing right at the military camp command center.
"Please notify everyone, Su Yunyi from the Royal Military Academy is here to assist the 319th Corps by order of Commander Li."
The young man stood outside the tent, full of grace and elegance, his white clothes fluttering, his voice like a gentle spring breeze, a faint smile on his lips.
The soldier guarding the entrance didnât expect the powerful master from earlier to be so gentle and hurriedly nodded, saying:
"Alright, alright, Iâll go right away."
"No need."
Director Dai Xianghe emerged from the tent, laughing heartily:
"Thank you, Young Master Su, good thing you arrived in time, otherwise, our 319th Corps might have really been done for."
As he spoke, Dai Xianghe glanced at the golden medal on Su Yunyiâs chest. The medal was round, surrounded by an aura of radiating light patterns made from pure gold, with a sun-shaped gem at the center.
Indeed, he is from the Golden Clan, the Holy Radiance Su Family.
Dai Xianghe felt a chill in his heart; in terms of military rank, he was above Su Yunyi, but in terms of strength, family background, and influence, Su Yunyi could completely overshadow him.
Su Yunyi was a descendant of the Golden Clan, a distinguished student of the Royal Military Academy. Not only on Alpha 7 Star but throughout the entire Empire, he was among the most dazzling figures.
"Young Master Su, please come in." Dai Xianghe lifted the tent flap and invited him.
Su Yunyi waved his hand slightly, smiling:
"Director Dai, I notice your corps has many injured, and since I am quite skilled at healing wounds, you can gather the injured together for me to treat collectively."
Hearing this, Dai Xianghe was overjoyed. He was well aware of the Holy Radiance Su Familyâs spiritual energy traits; in terms of healing capabilities, they were second only to the Azure Wood of the Nine Great Holy Bloods.
However, he had seen too many scions of bloodline families who generally didnât regard common soldiers as human; even high-ranking officers like him werenât respected by the noble family descendants.
Who wouldâve thought that Su Yunyi from the Golden Clan would take the initiative to help injured soldiers? This was the first time he had encountered such a nobleman.
"Young Master Su, thank you very much." Dai Xianghe expressed his gratitude.
"Itâs a small matter."
Su Yunyi showed a gentle smile.
Soon, under Dai Xiangheâs command, all the wounded soldiers were gathered in the center of the military camp for Su Yunyi to treat, while the losses from the night were rapidly being assessed.
......
"Whoa, let me tell you something explosive."
Xiao Yunlong barged into the tent, full of excitement, "The Spirit Mage just now came from the Golden Clan, the Holy Radiance Su Family."
Golden Clan!
Upon hearing this, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao were greatly surprised. The Golden Clan was considered among the Empireâs top aristocrats; not only did the family have a long line of strong individuals, but its power and resources were beyond ordinary imagination.
Normally, they could at most see information about the Golden Clan on the Star Net, but little did they imagine theyâd see a member of the Golden Clan with their own eyes one day.
Qin Tian had little concept of the Golden Clan, but he guessed it was linked to the Golden Bloodline.
The Holy Radiance Bloodline is two levels higher than his Purple Thunder Bloodline.
"Yunlong, whatâs the difference between a Spirit Martial Artist and a Spirit Mage?" Qin Tian suddenly asked.
Xiao Yunlong, noticing Qin Tianâs mounting curiosity, passionately explained:
"First of all, their combat styles are different. Martial Artists specialize in close combat, while Mages excel at long-range attacks. Secondly, they cultivate differently. Martial Artist Techniques enhance physique alongside absorbing spiritual energy, while Mage Secret Scriptures focus on strengthening spiritual power."
"But Iâve heard that the top-tier family techniques donât prioritize one over the othersâspiritual energy, physique, and mental power progress together, but thatâs something out of our reach."
"After seeing a real master, do you now hope to become a Spiritualist?"
Qin Tian nodded, admitting: "Yes."
Xiao Yunlong slung an arm around Qin Tianâs shoulder, grinning: "Donât rush. When we get back to Lieyang Valley, Iâll teach you the Spirit Awakening Technique. Awakening spiritual energy requires a stable and absolutely quiet environment, which isnât suitable right now."
"Alright, thanks." Qin Tian said.
"Wow, did you hear that? Qin Tian thanked me."
Xiao Yunlong turned to Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao, visibly excited: "This is the first time heâs ever thanked me."
Whatâs the big deal about a thank you? ~
Qin Tian resisted the urge to roll his eyes, removing Xiao Yunlongâs arm from his shoulder, expressionless: "I misspoke, take it back."
"No way to take back a thank you once itâs said, at least I heard it."
Xiao Yunlong put his arm around Qin Tianâs shoulder again, suddenly becoming very sincere: "Brother, youâve saved me so many times. Never mind the Spirit Awakening Technique, Iâll teach you all the Spiritual Martial Techniques I know."
"Haha, isnât that touching?"
Qin Tian gave him a sidelong look: "What if I canât become a Spiritualist, how will you repay me then?"
Xiao Yunlong blinked: "How about I marry you?"
"Get lost!"
"Alright."
Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao exchanged glances, smiles appearing on their faces.
......
Early the next morning, the legion set out for Lieyang Valley.
Qin Tian leaned against the rear compartment, with the Xiaolong Rifle at his feet, playing with a red Steel Claw in his hands, taken from the Shadow Feline last night.
The Shadow Feline used it to tear open Yang Lingâs armor, indicating it was no ordinary item.
"I just did a quick comparison: from the patterns on the Steel Claw, it seems to be a weapon made of Blood Pattern Steel."
Xiao Yunlong came up beside Qin Tian, saying: "The model isnât suitable for humans, you canât use it, but you could turn it over to the Military Department to exchange for Military Points. I estimate that with your current accumulation of Military Points, you might be able to exchange it for a Rune Gun."
"Rune Gun?"
Qin Tian was puzzled.
Xiao Yunlong explained: "Rune Guns are prehistoric technology discovered by the Empire in some ruins. By using spiritual energy to construct runes and engrave them onto firearms, it grants the guns numerous magical functions and more powerful destructive abilities."
"Itâs said that the most powerful Rune Guns are known as the Ten Great Guns. In the right hands, these Ten Great Guns can even threaten Tier Seven, or even Tier Eight Spiritualists. Isnât that terrifying?"
"Indeed impressive."
Qin Tian nodded; Tier Seven and Eight Spiritualists were top-tier experts capable of extraordinary feats, aside from other strong individuals of the same calibre, to think there were guns that could threaten their lives.
The Ten Great Guns could certainly be called Divine Artifacts.
"Letâs not aim for the Ten Great Guns; even ordinary Rune Guns arenât something you can just buy. But youâve slain many Beastmen recently, and if you submit this Steel Claw, you should be able to exchange it for a decent Rune Gun."
"Yes."
Qin Tian nodded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
