106: Wilderness Area (Part 2)

“Chen Fan, eighteen years old, High-level General!!!?”

At the base entrance, a guard martial artist looked at the information scanned from Chen Fan's ID.

He stared at Chen Fan in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief:

“This… this…”

The martial artist guarding the base gate was momentarily speechless.

“An eighteen-year-old High-level General, and also a… a Lieutenant Colonel Staff Officer of the Ninth Army!”

When the guard's gaze fell upon Chen Fan's military rank information on one of the lines, he immediately stood at attention with reverence.

Then, he saluted Chen Fan solemnly.

“Li Baoguo, Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader of the 32nd Army, Southern Military Region, salutes Lieutenant Colonel Chen!”

Chen Fan returned the salute with the same posture, smiling faintly, “No need to be so polite, we are all China soldiers!”

After speaking, Chen Fan took back his identity information and walked out of the base entrance, leaving behind the stunned Second Lieutenant Li Baoguo!

At this moment, the Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader's gaze followed Chen Fan into the distance until Chen Fan's back was no longer visible.

Only then did he retract his gaze, still muttering to himself:

“An eighteen-year-old High-level General, the Jingji Garrison truly produces outstanding talents!”

The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow still scorched the earth.

Jiangnan was not like the northern regions; walking in the Wilderness Area, one rarely encountered sandstorms blowing in their face.

Instead, there were only gusts of humid, dry, hot wind, constantly stirring the hearts of passersby.

On a highway that had been abandoned for several years, Chen Fan ran quickly alone, creating whistling sounds behind him.

The entire highway was dilapidated, the asphalt pavement cracked with many deep fissures, faintly revealing the dark color of the roadbed.

As far as the eye could see, this broken and desolate highway was scarred with devastation.

Everywhere, one could see the dilapidated skeletons of cars, buses, trucks, and some military vehicle wreckage, desolate and broken.

An atmosphere of desolation, decay, and ruin permeated the air.

Shriveled tires were scattered everywhere, the dark bloodstains remaining on their surfaces silently narrating the cruelty of that time.

The entire highway now resembled a massive car graveyard, burying an enormous number of various vehicles.

Pools of blackened blood were shocking to behold.

With just a glance, Chen Fan could roughly estimate how many innocent people had died at the hands of the monsters.

Hatred, killing intent, and rage intertwined, and Chen Fan's eyes gradually grew cold.

“Truly hateful monsters!!”

Chen Fan walked and observed, taking everything in, his expression stern, radiating a formidable aura without needing to be angry.

As his blood continuously boiled, his rage value also steadily accumulated.

He wanted to vent, and even more, he wanted to slaughter monsters.

Despite this, Chen Fan's rationality was not lacking in the slightest.

He was very clear about his purpose for entering the Wilderness Area this time—to break through to Advanced God of War!

Chen Fan vowed not to return to the base city until he had advanced to Advanced God of War.

His determination was as sharp as the blade of the Battle Blade on his back, unwavering.

At this moment, Chen Fan stood on the top of a dilapidated bus, looking out; within a range of several kilometers, thousands of low-level monsters were lurking.

However, these monsters were not his target.

To kill and gain physique points, Chen Fan needed to kill Beast Generals and above high-level monsters; other monsters were useless.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Fan's mind moved, and his information interface directly appeared in his mind—

“Name: Chen Fan”

“Physique Points: 10651”

“Realm: Intermediate God of War (0 / 30000 +)”

“Martial Arts: Ninefold Thunderblade (Perfectly Mastered), Ten Blood Battle Styles”

It was still a little over ten thousand physique points and the realm of Intermediate God of War.

Chen Fan's mind scanned through his information one by one, finally settling on the line “Intermediate God of War (0 / 30000)”.

“I still need to kill and obtain twenty thousand physique points to successfully advance to Advanced God of War.”

Chen Fan's eyes drooped slightly as he murmured softly.

In fact, for Chen Fan, there were two ways to advance to Advanced God of War—

The first method was more stable, relying on absorbing cosmic energy to achieve level advancement.

However, the time required was roughly between one month and one and a half months.

Although it was very safe and comfortable.

But the time was a bit too long, and Chen Fan could not accept it.

What he lacked now was time.

The secret of No. 9 Relic would be revealed in a few days, and the mysteries of the Australian continent and Mist Island were still waiting for Chen Fan to explore.

Chen Fan did not have that much time to spend on cultivation.

So after much careful consideration, Chen Fan still chose to enter the Wilderness Area,

To obtain physique points by hunting monsters, thereby completing his level advancement.

This was the fastest and simplest method.

For Chen Fan, once he entered the Advanced God of War level, his strength would once again leap a great deal.

By then, whether it was his own combat power,

Or the weapons he controlled with Spiritual power, they would qualify him to join the battlefield of Planetary-level martial artists.

Becoming a super combat force against King-level Monsters.

“King-level Monsters, you all better wait for me!”

Chen Fan shouted loudly in his heart.

Being able to contend against King-level Monsters was enough to show that he had already stood at the pinnacle of martial artists worldwide.

And once Chen Fan broke through to become a Planetary-level martial artist, his life essence would undergo a leap-level evolution.

Then he believed that the gap in combat power between himself, Thunder God, and Hong would not be too great.

The orange-yellow sunset shone upon this desolate and bleak, broken highway, and Chen Fan was steadily advancing along the road.

“Woo woo… Awoo!!”

“Moo moo…”

“Woo awoo woo awoo!!”

“…”

From the wilderness along both sides of the highway and in the ruined small towns, roars of monsters came.

Chen Fan looked around and saw many monsters wandering about, searching for food.

But they were just a group of ordinary monsters.

Chen Fan felt no threat at all, a relaxed and comfortable expression on his face.

Now, even facing Lord-Level Monsters, he wouldn't feel too much pressure.

Unless King-level Monsters attacked or he encountered a beast tide, otherwise, for Chen Fan, there was no life-threatening danger in this Wilderness Area.

After all, Chen Fan was an Intermediate God of War powerhouse who could unleash combat power comparable to a Planetary-level martial artist.

Furthermore, his identity as a Psycher Master and his combat power could make these Lord-Level Monsters flee in terror.

According to Chen Fan's judgment, the power he could unleash with his Spiritual power even surpassed his true combat power.

Therefore, Spiritual power also became Chen Fan's biggest trump card.

Generally, a Psycher Master who could display strength one or two ranks higher than their physical body was already considered extremely monstrous.

But Chen Fan was an exception.

As an Intermediate God of War martial artist, he could not only control objects with Spiritual power but also unleash strength three ranks higher than his physical body.

In other words, Chen Fan could now rely on Spiritual power to contend against Planetary-level martial artists of the second rank.

Which meant he could contend against some slightly weaker King-level Monsters.

With this thought, Chen Fan stomped his right foot hard.

He shot into the distance with a whooshing sound.
