The battlefield is now in complete chaos, and even the deputy regimental commander, Duan Nanping, has personally taken to the field.
Although Duan Nanping usually looks like he hasn't woken up yet, his strength is extremely astonishing.
He faced the earth dragon bare-handed, without using any weapons.
A wisp of white steam swirled around Duan Nanping; it was the scorching steam that came from the heat generated by his sudden burst of power, which evaporated his sweat.
With a single punch, the surrounding air trembled and rippled. The earth dragon's massive body shuddered, and the flesh beneath its hard scales bulged, suddenly bursting open and spewing out a mass of pus and blood like fleshy pulp!
The earth dragon was actually blasted apart by this punch from Duan Nanping, its flesh and blood exploding, and its internal organs were completely shattered through its powerful flesh and skin armor!
With a single punch, he defeated the earth dragon, but Duan Nanping knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The sweat that had just flowed out was instantly evaporated into mist.
Yang Cheng glanced at Duan Nanping's information.
Name: Duan Nanping
Strength rating: Mid-stage Seven Stars
Identity: Deputy Commander of the Explorers Legion
Specialization: 50% proficiency in firearms, 85% proficiency in melee combat.
Status: Tier 2 potion (Ladon), Tier 3 potion (Volatile Factor), Tier 4 potion (Wrath of the God of War)
This vice-commander's strength has also reached the seven-star level, but the side effects of his gene serum seem to be more than just drowsiness. Although each use is extremely powerful, it will exhaust all of his own power.
This fighting style is almost unsuitable for one-on-one combat; it requires the cooperation of teammates.
Moreover, Yang Cheng also discovered that many members of the Explorers Corps seemed to have used Ladon potion.
The second-tier version of Ladon's potion has powerful side effects; if one is not careful, it can shock one's mind and turn one into an idiot.
Only members of the Explorers Legion would be willing to take such a huge risk to try.
Yang Cheng then looked at Duanmu Ci and Tang Huang, whose strength should also have reached the Seven Star Realm.
Name: Duanmu Ci
Strength rating: Early stage of Seven Stars
Identity: Captain of the First Squadron of Explorers
Specialization: 30% proficiency in firearms, 90% proficiency in melee combat.
Status: Second-tier gene awakening (Power Guardian) Third-tier power awakening (Gravity Field) Fourth-tier power awakening (Ionization Frenzy)
Name: Tang Huang
Strength rating: Early stage of Seven Stars
Identity: Captain of the Fifth Squadron of the Explorers Legion
Specialization: 50% proficiency in firearms, 70% proficiency in melee combat.
Status: First-tier power awakening (Eagle Eye) Second-tier power awakening (Godspeed) Third-tier power awakening (Barrier Breaker) Fourth-tier power awakening (UFO)
Both of them are gene awakeners, but Duanmu Ci is even more unusual, as he actually started awakening from the second-tier gene stage.
"Walking Alone to Immortality"
It's important to know that most gene awakeners awaken their genes step by step, so how did he manage to awaken second-tier genes directly?
At this point, Jaguar panicked completely and immediately burrowed underground to escape.
Duanmu Ci and Tang Huang stopped one of the earth dragons and said to Yang Cheng in a deep voice, "You go after Jaguar, and we'll help you stop the earth dragon."
"It would be best to get Jaquill's head; this isn't just your achievement, it's the achievement of our entire Explorers Legion."
Yang Cheng was slightly taken aback; Duanmu Ci was practically trying to take all the credit for himself.
Duanmu Ci said in a deep voice: "The deputy commander of the Explorers Corps is not promoted based on merit, but on seniority."
However, Deputy Commander Duan and his comrades did not want to accumulate seniority; rather, the higher-ups were intentionally controlling the number of high-ranking officers in the Explorers Corps.
So no matter how many merits Tang Huang and I make, we will never become deputy regimental commanders.
These credits are useless to us; in fact, they would only arouse jealousy.
"Thank you, Captain."
Yang Cheng thanked him, then unleashed his maximum speed and turned to chase after Jaguar.
Although Duanmu Ci said that, in reality, no one would complain about having too much credit.
Their military rank won't be promoted, but they will still receive Tower Coins and some resources.
Tang Huang drew his bow and arrow, smiled and said, "You think highly of Yang Cheng? Aren't you afraid he might be a guy like Yoshikawa Shinichi?"
The commander initially had high hopes for Shinichi Yoshikawa, but unexpectedly, this guy turned his back on him after taking command.
Duanmu Ci said expressionlessly, "We have to try. I don't want the Explorers Legion to change its nature."
The Explorers' Legion hasn't decreased in size compared to a decade ago, but their morale has changed.
Tang Huang shot out an arrow, shook his head and said, "You can stop other things from changing, but what can you do to stop people's hearts from changing?"
Even if we become the leader, it won't change anything, so why worry about it now?
"Duanmu, stop being so stubborn. We both need to live to see that day first."
