Agricultural University was known as the Monster University. Not only did its martial arts course students know how to fight, but they were also unmatched when it came to their understanding of monster structures. They were the best to clean up battlefields and harvest resources.

  However, the slope was bumping, and the battlefield was covered in holes. Miasma was rife in the air. There were not enough seniors and juniors to be used, so they gradually split up, which was why they ran into all sorts of dangerous situations.

  Duan Lian knelt on the ground on one knee and swung his sabers. With wild slices, he cut up the stomach of a Demonic Halberd Pig that was about the same size as a Tyrant Mammoth, extracting its bones, which shone with a metallic shine.

  There were all sorts of monster carcasses piled up beside him. If they were transported to the back and ground into bone powder, they could be blended in gene medicine to increase the strength of bones in humans. They could also be used to make alloy or stimulate the rampaging spirit energy in crystals.

  While he was paying attention to harvesting, he did not seem to have noticed that he was gradually leaving the main squad.

  Since smoke and miasma obscured his sight, not many people saw him.

  Behind him was a rather deep hole. There were originally a few mangled carcasses in it.

  At that moment, they let out slurping sounds. Thin red lines came out from them, and their flesh was connected together.

  The places where their facial features originally were had already rotted to the point where only black holes were left. Green will-o’-the-wisps gushed out of them as if their bodies had been awakened by an evil spirit.

  Due to the cooperation between the spores and microorganisms, an undead creature crawled out silently from the hole. Its main body was that of a giant python’s torn-up corpse, but countless mandibles that came from insect-type monsters popped out of the wounds on its sides. Now, it sensed a human’s neuroelectricity and vitality magnetic field, and it started squirming swiftly to Duan Lian.

  When the large centipede opened its mouth, it spat out dozens of barbed, red tentacles from its throat, and Duan Lian never turned his head around.

  Yet, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, he did not even need to turn his head around. With a risky posture, he avoided the large centipede’s fatal strike.

  Then, he swung his sabers as if he was dancing. Like a tornado, he delivered a beautiful spinning slash that cut the large centipede into three parts.

  Before the undead could squirm about and connect the three severed parts together again, Duan Lian threw his sabers. They turned into two rays of white light that pinned its head and tail firmly on the ground.

  Duan Lian pulled out the flamethrower by his waist and pulled the trigger with a stoic expression.

  The undead let out a piercing screech.

  Very soon, it turned into three lumps of charcoal.

  But Duan Lian did not stop attacking.

  Instead, he tossed three anti-monster mines at the three lumps of charcoal.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  When the three lumps of charcoal were reduced to ashes, he grinned in satisfaction.

  “Duan Lian, are you okay?”


  When he heard the screams of the undead, Xie Feng charged over from a spot not far away.

  “I’m fine.”


  Duan Lian put away the flamethrower and walked over to pick up his charred super alloy sabers.

  Spirit energy surged in him, and spirit flames gushed out to clean the stains on the saber, causing the saber to regain its sharp glare.

  Duan Lian swung his sabers casually and snorted, “This sort of thing is an undead? Only humans have the right to be known as the strongest immortal beings in the Other World!”


  Duan Lian did indeed have the right to be so prideful.

  Duan Lian, Xie Feng, Sun Ya, and Jiang Rui were the Four Great Kings who joined Agricultural University’s martial arts course at the same time as Meng Chao.

  Based on what Meng Chao remembered about his previous life, his peers were not known as the Golden Era among the superhumans in Dragon City.

  That was because many of his talented peers had perished tragically at the northern offense when the Red Radiance Jade tsunami had exploded from under Raging Waves.

  Even if some superhumans escaped through sheer luck or did not join the northern offense, since their martial art ideals lagged behind, they could not catch up to the monsters’ swift evolution speed. During the next few years, they suffered major losses during a war of attrition. That was why a talent gap showed up. It was only when Gu Jianbo completed the Ultimate Style’s theory several years later that they managed to catch their breath.

  Perhaps the Four Great Kings of Agricultural University’s martial arts course perished a long time ago, which was why Meng Chao never heard their names in his previous life.

  However, due to Meng Chao’s return in this life, many people’s fates changed drastically.

  First, the Red Radiance Jade tsunami from Raging Waves was controlled at a perfect pace.

  The liquified spirit energy gushed out like a volcano and charged into the clouds. Then, it fell on all the soldiers’ heads like rain.

  Not only were humans not torn to shreds like they did in his previous life or crippled because they had their spirit meridians broken due to the major radiation, but they were also nourished by the spirit energy rain and reached new heights. This helped them build a strong base for them to overcome the limits of their lives.

  Also, Meng Chao helped Gu Jianbo complete and upgrade the Ultimate Style’s martial art theory a few years ahead of time, allowing humans to find their optimized fighting style against monsters who could transform twice or thrice after they evolved, and they also found the best way to fight against the undead.

  In the beginning, Agricultural University’s martial arts course’s Ultimate Style and Dragon City University’s Overkill Style argued to a certain degree about which was better than the other.

  Be that as it may, more pathfinders, hunters, and Red Dragon Army soldiers killed those undead creatures under the guidance of the Ultimate Style while they themselves did not have a single scratch on their bodies. They then uploaded their fighting videos online so that the entire city could see them. Therefore, the arguments gradually lessened.

  Martial artists were always the most conservative of all careers, but they were also the most open-minded. When they had to choose between survival and destruction, no one would stick to one single theory and fighting style and defend it.

  Even if prideful Dragon City University martial arts course students were the chosen among the chosen had to admit that the Ultimate Style could indeed fight equally with the Overkill Style. In fact, it represented the fighting style of the future.

  But Meng Chao did not just bring the Ultimate Style to the table.

  Instead, he brought more than one hundred future martial arts styles to the table, including the future Reckless Bull Force, the future Ripple Force, and the future One Hundred Saber Techniques.

  As Meng Chao’s cultivation realm continued improving, he gradually awakened to more of his memories, and he became in control of more future martial arts. He was also becoming increasingly skilled in them.

  Meng Chao imitated Battle God Lei Zongchao and published the future martial art thoughts, practice methods, and fighting styles to the life science forums on the deep web. They were all done anonymously, of course.

  The future martial arts did stir up great discussions online.

  What was important was not the specific moves or fighting styles of the martial arts.

  Instead, they shone with a light that lit up the humans’ evolution path.

  With the light of the future guiding them, the amazing people and life science experts in Dragon City naturally drew parallels from the inferences of the future martial arts and drew their own inferences, thus allowing them to improve and upgrade more martial arts and cultivation methods.

  In just two years, the spirit energy cultivation system in Dragon City took huge steps forward and reached a stage that was thirty years into the future.

  Besides, the abundant resources brought to them by the grand victory at the northern offense as well as the various projects Meng Chao’s Superstar collaborated with Agricultural University’s martial arts course allowed them to gain the snowball effect and get more advantages.

  As of today, Agricultural University’s martial arts course was stronger by more than five times compared to what Meng Chao remembered of his past life!

  In the past, when the seniors of Agricultural University’s martial arts course could graduate as two-star superhumans, they were considered to be very outstanding.

  The previous batches of graduates might not even produce a few three-star superhumans.

  Now, however, there were already thirty students who had become two-star superhumans in Meng Chao’s batch alone.

  The Four Great Kings like Duan Lian and Die Feng were already firmly in their seats as three-star superhumans as well. They had cleared nearly one hundred meridians and hundreds of branch meridians. Now, they were aiming for the peak of Earth Realm.

  The naivety they had when they competed against Meng Chao during the admission test in the past could no longer be found as well.

  While Meng Chao was risking his life and becoming stronger by leaps and bounds, they did not remain idle either. They used the craziest methods to torment their own bodies and refine their minds.

  Duan Lian and Xie Feng had countless scars left on their bodies and faces.

  Those were all “gifts” from the monsters’ claws, venomous fangs, and acid.

  Even if they used drugs and advanced laser technology to get rid of their scars so that their wounds could heal completely, their fearless demeanor was embedded on their faces, and with smoke as well as stubble serving as decorations on their faces, they did not look like students who had yet to graduate. Instead, they looked like veterans who had survived through numerous battles.

  Both of them strolled about the area and chatted with each other while they killed the undead around them.

  The large construction machines could finally be driven up to dig trenches, set up mines, and firing points.

  Duan Lian and Xie Feng sighed in relief. They monitored the situation by the side and were prepared to kill the monsters ambushing from the air and the ground at any moment.

  They also spent some time opening the monitor of their tactical watches to check their achievements and ranking.

  Just like usual, the battle network system would distribute missions to the universities, departments l, and individuals. When they were rewarded based on their achievements after the battle, their mission completion rate, the number of monsters they kill, and their rank would affect the distribution of their medals and cultivation resources.

  Upperclassmen like them were about to face internships and distribution of work post-graduation. Their personal futures were closely tied to their performance during the pitched battle because it was one that decided the future of Dragon City.

  “Whew, Duan Lian, you’ve been practicing behind our backs recently, huh? You actually didn’t sleep over the past twenty-four hours and killed 132 normal monsters, 17 Nightmarish Beasts, and even killed 3 Hell Beasts together with your tutor? The points you got during the pitched battle are just five marks behind Sun Ya, and you’re in the top twenty among all the students in the alliance of the five universities!” Xie Feng gasped in amazement.

  “Xie Feng, are you praising me, or are you beating around the bush and praising yourself?”


  Duan Lian was originally a prideful young man with a rather hot temper.

  However, ever since Meng Chao snuck into his bedroom in the past and “slit” his throat, he learned his lesson and became a new man. He could also joke with his coursemates now. “You’re just two points behind me, and if you kill two more normal monsters, you’ll catch up to me. Now, there is an unprecedentedly large monster horde that is about to attack us. None of us knows whether you’re preserving your strength so that you can go all out later.”
