112: Chapter 112 Breakthrough to Mid-Stage Fourth Tier, Beast Tide Upgrades

As time passed, some of the martial artists who had recovered opened their eyes.

When they saw the scene before them, their mouths instantly dropped open.

It was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood; the carcasses of ferocious beasts were piled up like mountains, and the ground was a river of blood, with fresh blood constantly flowing down the cliff edge, forming waterfalls of beast blood.

In the hellish scene, a young man in white was still smiling easily as he swung his sword. Forget being exhausted, the man hadn't even splattered a single drop of blood on his clothes.

"Hiss!! This Little Brother is too terrifying. Doesn't he even know fatigue? And he’s still so elegant..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... This is a true prodigy. Compared to him, we are almost insulting the profession of martial artist..."

"Let's go kill some ferocious beasts! To be able to fight side-by-side with such a young expert, I can brag about it for the rest of my life!"

"Right, right, let's help Little Brother fight the monsters!"

Seven or eight youths rushed forward, standing beside Lin Yuan, and began to participate in killing the ferocious beasts.

Wang Luoxue also recovered her stamina, stood up, and walked to Lin Yuan's side.

"May I ask your name? Are you really here because my father asked you to save me?" Wang Luoxue asked.

Lin Yuan swung his sword, sweeping away a wave of ferocious beasts, then turned to look at Wang Luoxue:

"That's right. I am Lin Yuan, a New Student from Qing University. I accepted your father's rescue mission. He is leading the Wang Family members to fight their way in from the perimeter. I was afraid you couldn't hold on, so I came in first to help."

"What? You are actually a Qing University New Student? But how can your strength be so powerful?" Wang Luoxue exclaimed in shock.

"Uh... It's alright. Now is not the time to discuss this. You should hurry up and recover your stamina."

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, he turned back and began slaying ferocious beasts again.

"I've almost recovered. I'll help you!"

Wang Luoxue drew a thin sword from her waist and joined the ranks clearing out the ferocious beasts.

...

The number of ferocious beasts was still constantly increasing; it was definitely not just the thousand-plus they saw when they first entered.

While killing, Lin Yuan activated the Spirit Devouring skill, continuously devouring the surrounding soul bodies.

The ability points on his panel, combined with the remaining 2.6 million from before, had now reached 5.8 million.

"So satisfying! This wave of ability points harvesting is too exhilarating. I hope the beast tide doesn't stop... Uh... maybe it shouldn't be too fierce. I'm afraid these people can't handle it..."

"I have enough ability points to raise my Martial Arts Level by one more stage. Then raise it for me!"

Lin Yuan willed it, and immediately chose to advance. The golden blood within his body suddenly surged like a roaring river, impacting every meridian in his body.

Waves of warmth flowed through his body, and Lin Yuan's previously slightly empty body immediately became full, giving rise to a powerful sense of strength.

He glanced at the system panel.

[Martial Arts]: Martial Artist Fourth Order Mid Stage (0%)

[Combat Power]: 22.77 Million

[ability points]: 300,000

"Not bad! My combat power has finally surpassed the 20 million combat power standard for Fifth Order Early Stage. Now, combined with my Martial Arts, even a Fifth Order Mid Stage opponent might not be unbeatable," Lin Yuan calculated excitedly in his heart.

Just then.

Bang bang bang!!

Suddenly, several martial artists were blasted away, spitting blood wildly.

"Not good! It's Fifth Order Early Stage ferocious beasts!" someone immediately cried out.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, swung his swimming dragon sword towards that direction, and a Space Dimensional Slash streaked across, instantly killing several Fifth Order Early Stage ferocious beasts on the spot.

Lin Yuan glanced at the crowd. Most of them were Fourth Order and Third Order martial artists; there wasn't a single Fifth Order martial artist.

If this were a normal situation without a beast tide, their strength would be enough for training in the outer areas, but in the current situation, they were somewhat out of their depth.

"All of you retreat and hide behind me. Don't poke your heads out!"

Lin Yuan shouted at the crowd, a slight seriousness in his eyes. Fifth Order Early Stage ferocious beasts had already appeared, which meant the beast tide had escalated. Perhaps even ferocious beasts that Lin Yuan couldn't contend with might appear later.

"I can only try my best to hold on now. I hope the people from the Martial Alliance can arrive quickly."

Thinking this, Lin Yuan mercilessly swung his swimming dragon sword, while his left hand had already condensed a silver orb of light.

The others didn't try to be brave either and quickly retreated. If they didn't retreat now, they wouldn't be helping; they would just be causing trouble for Lin Yuan.

Seeing everyone retreat, Lin Yuan threw the silver orb of light in his hand out without hesitation.

Boom!!

After a loud explosion, a massive silver orb of light, over twenty meters in diameter, suddenly appeared on the battlefield, enveloping the ferocious beasts.

Inside the silver orb, crimson light flickered. The entire sphere resembled a giant meat grinder, where one could see the severed limbs of ferocious beasts flying around continuously.

"Little Brother Lin is so terrifying. What kind of technique is this? Is it also an ability skill?"

"It should be, but the level must be very high, which is why we haven't seen it before. But what is certain is that it is definitely higher than A-rank."

"It's a pity we can't help; we can only watch as Little Brother Lin bears the brunt alone..."

...

After the Spatial Rend and Kill skill ended, the battlefield was left with the mangled remains of ferocious beasts. But before everyone could rejoice, a new wave of ferocious beasts charged in densely packed together.

"Is this really never-ending!?"

Lin Yuan also became a bit anxious. If this continued, he wasn't afraid; he could retreat safely at any time. But what about the people behind him? Should he just ignore them?

Clearly, ignoring them was not Lin Yuan's style. He admitted he wasn't a good person, but he couldn't stand by and watch so many lives be lost...

Just then, Lin Yuan saw that behind the beast horde several hundred meters away, a battle was erupting.

His heart immediately relaxed. The Wang Family Head must have arrived with his people. Although the strongest among them were only Fourth Order, one more person meant one more bit of strength, providing more hope of holding out until reinforcements arrived.

Utilizing the terrain advantage, it wasn't impossible.

"Everyone listen to me! The Wang Family members have arrived. They are still a few hundred meters away from us. I need to go meet them and quickly link up. I will kill the Fifth Order ferocious beasts along the way. You hold off the other ferocious beasts for a while, and I will bring them back right away!"

Lin Yuan commanded the martial artists behind him.

"Understood! Little Brother Lin, you go ahead without worry. We can hold them off!"

Liang Chao led the group and immediately surrounded the area. Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and his figure shot towards the spot a few hundred meters away like a phantom.

His figure weaved through the beast horde without the slightest obstruction.

Just moments ago, Lin Yuan had directly instructed the system to max out the proficiency of Star Scar Nine Steps to the Supreme level. Using it now felt incredibly smooth, like passing through a sea of flowers without disturbing a single leaf.

Not long after, Lin Yuan arrived before the Wang Family members.

The Wang Family Head was shocked when he saw Lin Yuan. He had heard from Duan Qing and the others that Lin Yuan had gone to the rescue alone.

At the time, he was somewhat angry, thinking this Lin Yuan was too conceited and impulsive, trying to be the lone hero.

But when the ferocious beasts before him fell in droves, the Wang Family Head realized that the young man wasn't being impulsive; he was genuinely formidable.

What he was doing was called having great skill and great courage, wasn't it?

Walking among ten thousand beasts as if strolling in a courtyard—what kind of peerless prodigy had he recruited...

"Little Brother Lin, have you seen my daughter? Is she alright?" the Wang Family Head asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Wang Family Head. Your daughter is perfectly fine. I will lead you to break out now and join up with them," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Good, good, good! Thank you, Brother Lin. When we return, I will definitely increase the reward for this mission. My Wang Family will reward you handsomely!"

"That's a matter for later. Everyone, listen to my command! Follow my steps closely, charge!" Lin Yuan roared.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, including the Wang Family Head...
