Chapter 47: The front line completely switched to defense After the visit, Su Chen left with a high-quality to his residence. I don't have much idea about the casting method. The reason I went there today was more to verify whether the [Skillful Hands] destiny could play a role in advanced techniques. Now it seems that it is possible. With the help of the [Skillful Hands] talent, one can quickly master the skills. If I have the opportunity to learn some advanced alchemy and casting techniques in the future. Maybe it can solve the problem of lack of resources. After all, a top-grade weapon or a top-grade elixir are extremely expensive. If you can refine it yourself, you can not only save money, but also earn a lot of resources. It will take another month to get that top-grade weapon.
This period of time is indeed quite long, and Senior Brother Wu Yi and the others may need my help. I still have some Qi Condensation Pills in my hand. It was given to me by Hou Chenfei when he wanted to have one more match with me during the competition. Su Chen planned to use up these Qi Condensation Pills and then return to Jiang'an City first. Then go to the front line and continue to earn contributions. With the help of elixirs, one's own practice will be much faster and the rewards will be more abundant. After all, after arriving at the front line, there are not many opportunities to practice meditation in peace. As for Ji Sheng, according to the rules, he should lead everyone to gain initial experience on the front line. But given his temperament, there's no need to hold too much hope for him. For people like Ouyang Chuan, the coaches have a lot of responsibilities. I heard that we will go to the front line together tomorrow. During the more than half a year on the front line, Ouyang Chuan and his colleagues did more than just give instructions on cultivation. At the same time, they also need to be taught how to deal with monsters. Many disciples actually have no experience in fighting monsters. Newcomers have the highest mortality rate on the battlefield. Only in this way can we be truly responsible to them. February 15th. Su Chen still has three Qi Condensation Pills left in his hand. It should be used up in three days at most.
It’s a pity that after all the hard training I’ve been doing recently, I haven’t been able to break through to the middle stage of refining essence, and I’m still a little far from perfection. The "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue" technique is mysterious, but it does not seem to be faster than other techniques in improving one's realm. Of course, Su Chen didn't mind this either. More haste makes waste. The training of "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue" has made my foundation far stronger than others. Even if the improvement is slower, it is worth it. Yunyang Sect. This time, there were three hall masters deployed on the front line. After the beginning of spring, the monsters on the front lines began to attack and launch surprise attacks again. But with the presence of three hall masters, the situation seemed to be maintained. There are still huge problems in collecting information and searching for traces of monsters. Most of the reported information, after verification, is found to be wrong. It's not a lag, it's just completely irrelevant. For example, a disciple reported that traces of monsters were found on the west side. Then they sent people to ambush, and for two or three days no monster passed by there. There were monsters gathering somewhere, but when the hall master led his men there, they didn't even see any monster feces. The three hall masters on the front line basically no longer refer to the information reported. Try to look for yourself as much as possible and look for clues yourself. As for strategy, it completely switched to defense. As long as we defend the front line, we will be successful. The Yunyang Sect will try to find out what caused these declines. The three hall masters on the front line have exactly the same idea now. However, their current way of guarding the front line has long lost its meaning. In the past, the front line was a high wall that blocked all the monsters behind, making it difficult for them to move forward. But now, the camp has completely retreated, and there is no way to stop the monsters. February 15th. Su Chen packed up and went back to Jiang'an City first. It has been five months since I was released. Although I have written a letter back, I still want to go back and take a look. After returning home, I went to the front line of Tiangang City to meet up with Senior Brother Wu Yi and the others. And on the fifteenth day.
The Yunyang Sect is in big trouble. The Yunyang Sect's sect was attacked by monsters at night. Before the winter last year, monsters also appeared near the Yunyang Sect. At that time, the monsters did not dare to act rashly. But it’s only been spring, and those monsters have not only made a comeback, but have also dared to attack the sect’s territory. As the number one sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Yunyang Sect’s performance in the face of the monster’s attack this time can be said to be extremely poor. Perhaps because the situation has been peaceful for too long, even though there were traces of monsters before winter last year, no attention was paid. Last night, disciples were constantly injured, and the entire sect realized that the monster had infiltrated. Before, people’s concerns about monsters were not so strong. But a disciple was injured last night, and the situation in Yunyang Sect began to become complicated. In the sects that are weaker than the Yunyang Sect, there have not been any incidents of disciples being attacked by monsters in many years. Starting in the morning, the entire Yunyang Sect was under martial law. I killed a lot of monsters last night, but it’s hard to say if there are any left. We must conduct a thorough investigation today, checking every corner. If the monster is allowed to hide, this hidden danger may cause the death of some disciples. Especially those disciples who have just entered the sect and whose strength has not yet reached the eighth level. The sharp claws of those little demons could very likely cause them fatal injuries. Since the establishment of the front-line defense, even monsters have rarely been seen near the Yunyang Sect’s gate. In the past two years, the disciples of Yunyang Sect have only had the opportunity to train and slay demons by going to the front lines. The front line had already blocked those monsters out. But now, Yunyang Sect has encountered such a big problem. If this news were to spread, perhaps the people of the Great Zhou would not believe it. In the side hall, the Great Elder had already notified all the core members of the Yunyang Sect. In addition, there are several hall masters who are leading people to investigate the traces of monsters in the sect’s territory. Most of the other hall masters have already gathered in the side hall. The sect leader, Master Taiwu, sat in a high position in the center. Today, he looked a little serious. Before this, Master Taiwu was traveling with Fu Jianyun. Although he had heard that the Yunyang Sect had encountered some troubles, it was only hearsay and he had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
Today’s events made him realize that the predicament facing the Yunyang Sect was no ordinary one. The sects are all being harassed by monsters, which means that the blocking and resistance at the front line has completely failed. The monsters have already gathered and dared to attack the sect’s territory. It is unknown how many monsters have infiltrated the area between Yunyang Sect and the front line. In the side hall, everyone's expressions were extremely serious. This is not the first day that we have dealt with monsters. Everyone knows what this portends. "Last night, Hall Master Ying Hua discovered something unusual at midnight. Let Hall Master Ying Hua tell you about the specific situation. Everyone, listen carefully and see what the sect is like now." The Great Elder spoke softly, his expression extremely serious. Since the beginning of autumn last year, the entire Yunyang Sect seemed to have changed. Facing the monster, there is a feeling of powerlessness. (End of this chapter)
