"puff!"
With a flash of golden light, an Iron Feather Demon Eagle, comparable to the peak of Qi Refining, was instantly killed.
Look closely, the iron feathers in its throat have been melted by the high temperature...
*Smack!*
The body fell straight down onto the barrier and slid towards the edge.
"Clang!"
In the blink of an eye, the flying sword found its next target...
"This is... a magical artifact?"
In a corner of the school, a slight ripple appeared in Su Xin's eyes.
Chen Yi even claimed that he had no background?
A Qi Refining cultivator already has a spiritual weapon!
It should be noted that even she was only granted a spiritual weapon after painstakingly completing numerous tasks assigned by her master.
The key point is that she felt the quality of the magical artifact she was using was not much different from Chen Yi's...
Hmm, this person is indeed spouting nonsense; he's very strange!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The Yangwen Sword unleashed scorching sword energy, slaying three Iron Feather Demon Eagles in succession.
This speed is almost comparable to that of teachers in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
In contrast, other students need at least three to five people to take down an Ironfeathered Demon Eagle.
"After the Yangwen Sword was upgraded to a spiritual weapon, its power indeed increased greatly..." Chen Yi muttered to himself.
Yes, he used the "Spirit Refining Technique" to upgrade the Yang Pattern Sword by one grade, from a top-grade magic weapon to a low-grade spiritual weapon.
The Yangwen Sword, transformed into a low-grade spiritual weapon, has increased in power several times over, but its mana consumption remains unchanged.
This is because, compared to magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts have already developed a trace of spirituality.
This wisp of spirituality allowed it to autonomously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby reducing the amount of magic power Chen Yi was transferring.
Furthermore, Chen Yi doesn't need to constantly monitor the spiritual artifacts that possess spiritual power, as they can reduce mental stress.
This is somewhat similar to the difference between semi-automatic and non-automatic weapons. Although they still require manual operation, they are much easier to use and more efficient at killing enemies!
"Sizzle sizzle~"
Strands of demonic energy, almost invisible to the naked eye, seeped into the battle merit token.
Chen Yi's battle merits instantly increased to 30 points.
"Does killing an Iron Feather Demon Eagle, whose strength is equivalent to the peak of Qi Refining, count as 10 battle merits?" he murmured.
He remembered that exchanging for a decent Qi Refining stage cultivation technique required 100 battle merits.
To exchange for a cultivation technique that can be practiced up to the Foundation Establishment stage, one needs 1000 battle merits.
He frowned slightly: "That's quite difficult to achieve..."
After all, in just a few minutes, the Iron Feather Demon Eagles had been almost completely devoured.
It should be noted that only a few hundred Ironfeathered Demon Eagles invaded Xiande City, and only a few dozen of them attacked Xiande Middle School.
Chen Yi killed 3, which is already a pretty good start.
Some Foundation Establishment stage teachers who weren't so lucky only managed to kill one or two...
"Don't be discouraged if you didn't get any battle merits. The Iron Feather Demon Eagle is just the appetizer. There will probably be more flying monsters approaching our school later," Ma Guangzhi reassured everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky in the distance suddenly turned completely dark.
"They're here!"
When everyone looked up, half of their joy at having achieved victory vanished...
"Damn it, how can there be so many?"
Ma Guangzhi's expression was rather unpleasant.
Has the front line fallen?
Thinking of this, he quickly took out a communication talisman to inquire about the situation from acquaintances on the front lines.
After a long time, no one responded...
Ma Guangzhi's unease grew stronger.
Damn it, could it be that the Demon Lord will be the first to descend upon our city?
Just as he was lost in thought, the communication talisman responded.
"Old Ma, something's happened at the front... The Demon Lord has invaded from our side!"
"ah?"
Ma Guangzhi's eyes widened.
He glanced at the teachers and students who were fighting hard against the monsters, his expression somewhat dazed.
"Where is that demon lord now?" he asked hurriedly.
"With a single strike, it tore a gaping hole in the defenses, then slipped through the breach and disappeared without a trace..."
"I'm not talking to you anymore. We need to deal with that gap now, or Xiande will be finished!"
After the informant finished speaking, the communication talisman went out.
Ma Guangzhi rubbed his fingers, a thoughtful look on his face.
He had previously asked the school board members to intervene and obtain a sword talisman from a Golden Core cultivator.
This talisman can unleash three sword attacks.
Each move was comparable to a Golden Core cultivator's attack.
Of course, the greatest function of this talisman is deterrence.
With it around, even that demon lord might not dare to offend the campus.
After all, it was just a newly ascended demon lord, and there were bound to be many things it was wary of...
"Now we'll see if that sword talisman can save us," he said in a low voice.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the ground suddenly trembled violently.
Chen Yi watched as a crack tore apart the playground.
The entire Xiande area seemed to have been engulfed in a massive earthquake...
Even with the formations reinforcing this land, it is still incredibly exaggerated.
It's hard to imagine how devastating it would be in areas without stable formations.
"Listen up, humans of this city! You have three days to return my son, or I will ensure that the remaining million of you are all buried beneath the earth!"
A powerful divine sense entered the ears of everyone at Xiande Middle School.
Chen Yi looked shocked.
Is this a demon lord equivalent to the Golden Core realm?
The divine sense is so powerful!
The key point is that what the other party said was not empty talk; it truly has the ability to kill millions of people.
Even more surprisingly, the sudden earthquake just now has already claimed the lives of millions...
"When the Demon Lord is enraged, millions of corpses lie in wait; such terror is astounding..." The survivors were all shocked.
Some people with little cultivation were directly shocked, their mouths and noses bleeding, and their minds went blank.
"What kind of demon has attained enlightenment?" Chen Yi wondered to himself.
He knew that the earthquake must have been caused by that demon lord, but he didn't know what kind of creature it was that could cause such an earthquake.
Before he could think any further, a new sound seemed to emanate from the cracked ground...
"Click, click, click!"
Two slender, venomous pincers emerged from the ground, followed by a long, slender body that slowly materialized, its countless hooked limbs gleaming with a cold light...
"This aura... is it a level 2 demon beast?" Chen Yi's expression turned serious.
"Oh no! The earthquake just now destroyed some of the underground array pillars. This centipede demon must have come from there. Everyone, please watch your step!" a teacher shouted a warning.
"We must repair the underground array pillars as soon as possible, otherwise, these monsters emerging from the ground will likely keep coming!" another teacher warned.
Upon hearing this, Ma Guangzhi realized the importance of the matter and immediately ordered, "Quickly assemble a repair team. Repairing one array pillar will earn you fifty merit points!"
Upon hearing this news, Chen Yi immediately perked up.
Although killing monsters can earn battle merits, and this centipede monster is only a level 2 monster, there are still far more wolves than meat.
With so many Foundation Establishment stage teachers eyeing it, I'm afraid I'll only get a small slice at most...
And those level 1 monsters don't all give 10 battle merits; most give only 4-5 points, which are barely enough to compete with hundreds of other players.
Why not just switch to the emergency repair team and be the first to try something new!
Upon thinking of this, a silver glint flashed deep within his eyes.
[One glance at the target], activated!
His vision turned transparent as white threads formed by the array within the school filled Chen Yi's eyes.
So many formations?
He saw the complex array patterns.
There are no fewer than ten formations that involve underground structures alone.
Furthermore, some formations employ a stacked array arrangement.
The advantage of doing this is that many array stakes can be shared, which saves materials and energy consumption.
However, the downside is that if one of the array pillars is damaged, the power of all related arrays will be weakened.
However, because the core of the formation was not damaged, the formation can still exert some of its power.
This invading centipede demon probably stumbled upon a loophole by accident, which allowed it to directly infiltrate the campus.
Chen Yi only glanced at it a few times before memorizing the location of the damaged array pillars.
Then, he channeled his Earth Element True Spiritual Energy and vanished underground...
