128: Chapter 128 Preparing for Battle

Next, the ten captains of a thousand men acted as if they were reciting a menu, rapidly spitting out the names of various Talismans.

Copper Skin and Iron Bone Talisman, Earth Armor Talisman, Body Protection Spirit Light Talisman, Spirit Shield Talisman, Godly Movement Talisman, Cloud Treading Talisman, Giant Strength Talisman, Sharpness Talisman.

As waves of Talisman spirit light descended, Lin Xiao's Believers looked as if they had turned on special effects. Their bodies were overflowing with various colored Talisman lights; it was incredibly dazzling.

After this whole operation, the twenty thousand alien Believers charging from afar couldn't help but feel a twitch in their hearts. What kind of joke was this? Was temporary buffing even allowed?

"Principal, look at him!"

"I know Young Friend Lin has plenty of Divine Power, but this isn't how you play the game, right? Ten of them! Before the fight even started, they slapped a full ten Talismans on themselves! They're all glowing with color!"

"I strongly protest! How is this still an assessment? This is just blatant flaunting of wealth! Principal, you must do something about this!"

At this moment, the expression on Principal Li Qingyun's face became strange. Seeing those ten thousand glowing dolls, he almost lost his composure.

"Ahem, ahem, Talismans are also a part of a Believer's strength, after all. Could it be that one isn't allowed to use Talismans on the battlefield? That makes no sense."

The parents outside the school, watching the group of glowing dolls on the big screen, were also momentarily stunned.

"If I heard correctly, these are all Qi Refining Realm Talismans, right? How many faith points does a Qi Refining Realm Talisman cost again?"

"An ordinary Qi Refining Realm Talisman costs about 3 million faith points each. Like the combat Talismans Lord Lin is using now, the cheaper ones are 10 million faith points, and the expensive ones are 30 million faith points."

"Hiss! If I didn't see wrong just now, Lord Lin's Believers slapped a full ten on themselves! Even at an average of 10 million faith points each, that's 100 million faith points right there!"

"Ten thousand people means one trillion faith points, and the fight hasn't even started yet. They just slapped one thousand divine power points on themselves? Is this an assessment or just showing off wealth?"

Just as everyone outside was full of envy and the twenty thousand aliens on the opposite side were full of anxiety, the ten captains of a thousand men spoke again.

[Blood Surge Pill (Quality: Qi Refining Realm)]

[Description: Doubles the flow speed of Internal Energy, lasts for half an hour.]

[Blood Strengthening Pill (Quality: Qi Refining Realm)]

[Description: Slightly thickens blood essence, can quickly stop bleeding and increase self-recovery speed. Lasts for half an hour.]

[Meridian Opening Pill (Quality: Qi Refining Realm)]

[Description: Reduces Internal Energy/spiritual power consumption by 30% when releasing combat skills or Spells. Lasts for half an hour.]

[Spirit Nourishing Pill (Quality: Qi Refining Realm)]

[Description: Slowly and continuously nourishes Internal Energy/spiritual power, recovering a small amount of spiritual power continuously for half an hour.]

Watching the Believers on Lin Xiao's side gobble down another handful of Medicinal Pills, the Elders and benefactors were red-eyed.

"Principal! Are you not going to do anything about this?! If they keep buffing them like this, these Second-order Believers are going to break through to the Spirit Rank!"

"Shameless! Truly the height of shamelessness! How can an assessment be like this? This isn't an assessment; this is just blatantly throwing away Divine Power!"

The parents outside were even more agitated than these Elders and benefactors.

"My god! Is this what high-level combat is like? If they win, won't they be making a loss? If I had that many divine power points, I would just surrender!"

"I suddenly feel that this thing called Realm is just so-so. If Lord Lin's resources could be used by my Believers, a Demigod doesn't seem that scary anymore."

"It's still not over? What is it this time?!"

Amidst the exclamation of this parent, a Yao Beast suddenly appeared in the hands of the Second-order Believers within the Divine Kingdom.

These Yao Beasts looked different, but they had one thing in common: they were all Qi Refining Realm Yao Beasts!

The moment the Yao Beasts appeared, their bodies suddenly exploded into a mist of blood. The blood mist carried shrill roars, and the next moment, this blood mist was completely absorbed by the Believers' longswords.

[Beast Soul Soul-Parasite Technique (Quality: Foundation Establishment Realm)]

[Description: Sacrifice a complete Qi Refining Realm/Foundation Establishment Realm Yao Beast as the cost to temporarily increase weapon sharpness and hardness. When attacking, it will stir up the fierce aura within the weapon, with a probability of triggering a Beast Soul attack.]

On the longswords that had absorbed the blood mist, a blood-colored phantom of a Yao Beast appeared. A faint, shrill roar emitted from the longswords.

Only at this moment did the Believers under Lin Xiao finally stop their actions. The ten thousand Believers, with their bodies and weapons shining in dazzling colors, looked at the approaching enemy with faces full of excitement.

At this moment, let alone those Elders and benefactors, even Principal Li Qingyun couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for those twenty thousand aliens.

[Previously, both sides were evenly matched, but now after using this set of Talismans, Medicinal Pills, and secret techniques, the strength of this group of Second-order Believers has conservatively increased by nearly 50%. Even if they are outnumbered by the aliens, in terms of strength, they are basically in a crushing position. Young Friend has already locked in victory for this assessment.]

Yes, from the perspective of a Third-order Deity like Principal Li Qingyun, this battle had no suspense, unless the aliens on the other side could also add a round of buffs like this.

At this moment, the faces of the Elders and benefactors beside Principal Li Qingyun were extremely ugly. Although their vision was not as good as Principal Li Qingyun's, they also understood that this battle had no suspense. Unless the Believers on Lin Xiao's side were just ordinary Second-order ones.

But through the brief exchange earlier, they had already seen that these Second-order Believers were extremely, incredibly wrong!

"Damn it, how did things turn out like this?"

"What do we do now? That group of aliens is probably no longer a match; defeat is only a matter of time..."

"Send a message to the Family! Have them send three more reinforced Demigods over! Even if this kid luckily wins this round, aren't there still the one-versus-five and one-versus-ten matches?"

Principal Li Qingyun did not pay much attention to the voice transmissions of the Elders and benefactors around him. He was currently watching the battle within the Divine Kingdom with great interest.

[Using Second-order strength to fight against Qi Refining Realm Believers who outnumber them. After this battle, Young Friend will probably be quite famous among the Divine Beings of the Lin Family.]

With the temporary status effects applied, the ten captains of a thousand men pointed their longswords diagonally forward. They spat out one word: "Kill!"

As this word fell, the ten-thousand-man Formation was like a fallen leaf blown by a hurricane, swiftly drifting toward the charging aliens.

The moment the two sides were about to make contact, countless spiritual power attacks and long-range Internal Energy attacks poured toward the Formations of both sides.

The spiritual power attacks were partially reduced by the Formation, and just as the remainder were about to land on the Believers, a Spirit Light shield suddenly appeared, completely dissipating these attacks.

Spirit Shield Talisman: Can block long-range physical and magical attacks.

After dissipating these attacks, the luster of the Spirit Shield dimmed slightly. Judging from the luster, the Spirit Shield could still block such attacks three to five more times!

The aliens' attacks were easily resolved by the Formation and Spirit Shield Talismans, but they were not so lucky when facing the Believers' attacks.

The temporarily strengthened Second-order Believers saw their strength skyrocket, making their Internal Energy attacks become terrifyingly powerful. The ten-thousand-man Formation only reduced it by less than 30%.

The remaining 70% of the power landed solidly on the alien Believers. The armor on the hit aliens flashed with spirit light. Bursts of muffled groans were heard, and blood flowed from the corners of the eyes, mouths, and ears of many aliens. Clearly, this strike caused them significant damage.

Before they could continue launching long-range attacks, the Believers of both sides slammed into each other fiercely. It was like two heaven-shaking giant waves crashing violently against each other...
