Chapter 28 The First Mission
The banquet last night seemed to be a gathering of a few old friends. Wang Xu drank to his heart’s content. At the same time, he also got to know the few people from the Crimson Flame Legion.
The leader was a tall man. His name was Pang Yu, and he used a huge S-grade shield. His nickname was “Golden Shield.” He was the soul of the entire team.
The Crimson Flame Legion was established by Pang Yu and the stubble-bearded man, who was dragged by Pang Yu, known as “Gui Suan”. He was also the second-in-command. No one knew the real name of Gui Suan. Wang Xu had asked before, but Gui Suan only smiled lightly. “I like this name now.”
The thin man who spoke bluntly and had a one-track mind was called Xu Nian. He was quite knowledgeable in movement techniques and was a scout of the Crimson Flame Legion. His nickname was “Red Eyes.” Wang Xu had heard that he had joined the Crimson Flame Legion because Golden Shield had saved his life.
The other two delicate-looking men were called “Black Whip” and “Blue Sword.” They were named after their own weapons and had joined the Crimson Flame Legion last year.
In the end, only Red Ax and Wang Xu were left. They were newbies in the team, but Red Ax was at level five while Wang Xu was at level four.
When Wang Xu woke up the next day, the dizziness from yesterday’s hangover disappeared. As a Gene Warrior, the strength of his body could make him immune to poison. This little bit of alcohol was naturally not a problem for Wang Xu.
Today was the day to report. Wang Xu had to rush to the teaching building to see his mentor.
The training room was very large, more than ten times the size of the previous cultivation room. Before Wang Xu arrived, there were already dozens of people waiting here.

A moment later, a beautiful woman with a ponytail walked in.
“From today onwards, I’m your mentor. You can call me ‘Teacher Poison’. You’ll know the reason soon.” As soon as the woman finished speaking, she walked straight to the students who were constantly looking at her and kicked them!
The students were all level-five Gene Warriors. Whether it was their reaction speed or resistance to attacks, they were all very outstanding. However, they couldn’t even react to this woman’s attack. They were sent flying, and their internal organs seemed to be squeezed together. It was extremely painful.
Wang Xu’s heart skipped a beat. This Teacher Poison was indeed vicious. It seemed like she only kicked just now, but she instantly attacked several people at the same time.
This Teacher Poison was at least at level seven with such a terrifying movement!
The other students also looked at Teacher Poison in surprise, their eyes filled with reverence.
“Alright, I’ll give everyone your first lesson today. It’s about the level of movement technique and fist strength…” Teacher Poison didn’t even look at the wailing students and started to talk
Wang Xu listened attentively. When Teacher Poison finished speaking, he suddenly understood.
It turned out that the ancient martial arts he cultivated was only an aid to his physical body. For example, movement technique martial arts seemed to increase his movement technique by a lot, but in the end, his running speed and dodging ability didn’t change much. The real movement technique was divided into “Basic”, “Agile”, “Comprehension”, and “Will”. Like most people, Wang Xu remained at the basic level and his movement technique didn’t change much.
However, when one comprehended a movement technique of the “Agile” level, one would discover that no matter where the attack came from, one would be able to react quickly and dodge it at a distance of one millimeter. According to Teacher Poison, this was because the movement technique had become instinctive and was deeply rooted in your bones. Even if dozens of insect beasts attacked you at the same time, one could still dodge them with their movement technique.
Similarly, saber techniques, sword techniques, staff techniques, ancient martial arts, and so on were all a form of support. Moreover, saber techniques could not only be used on sabers, but also directly on the body, allowing the arms and legs to have saber-like strength at the same time. This was the so-called “strength output” level.
A good ancient martial art could allow one to increase their strength output level, but there was limited room for improvement. Therefore, they needed better support to increase their strength output level—the physical body.
The physical body was the foundation of all cultivation. A powerful physique could allow one’s movement technique and strength output level to increase infinitely. Therefore, having a powerful body meant that everything was powerful.
And what could change the physical body was a point of view mentioned by Teacher Poison -absorption.
“In all the physical ancient martial arts, there are introductions to absorption, but there are very few that can really be used.
“Therefore, we can only constantly consume our energy. When our energy is lacking, our movement techniques will absorb the insignificant energy from the universe. This is considered passive absorption.
“The real active absorption is to use your own body as a vortex to absorb energy and turn the energy into a vortex. This way, the energy vortex will automatically absorb it. A person only needs to constantly consume energy to increase the strength of their body.”
The more Teacher Poison talked, the more Wang Xu listened carefully, especially about the energy vortex. He couldn’t wait to know what the “core” that the energy vortex condensed into was.
However, to Wang Xu’s disappointment, Teacher Poison did not mention anything about the “core”. She did not even mention that the energy vortex could be dispersed.
The class ended very quickly. Wang Xu pondered in confusion: Does the so-called “core” exist?
As he pondered, he walked back to the cultivation room. After knowing that he had yet to truly grasp everything, Wang Xu planned to start cultivating his true movement technique and strength.
But soon, Wang Xu realized that it was impossible to cultivate a true movement technique by himself. His movement technique required him to dodge, and there was no need for him to dodge some harmless attacks. Wang Xu thought for a moment and could only choose to give up.

According to the rules described by Teacher Du for the strength output level, the “Nine Lightning Sword” could instantly increase his strength by 1.5 times. His strength output level was 1.5. His current fist strength was about 2,000kg. Once it erupted, it could reach 3,000kg, which was comparable to the passing standard of a level five student.
The fist strength of a level-five student was usually 3,000kg, and the room for improvement could reach about 10,000kg. This was the time when the fist strength had the greatest room for improvement. The ordinary fist strength of a level-six student was 7,000kg, and it could reach the realm where the fist strength could exceed 10,000kg. However, at level-six, the body would solidify, and it would be difficult to increase the fist strength again.
However, after the fist strength solidified, it could make an impact on the strength output. If a level-five student’s fist strength was 5,000kg, but his strength output level could reach 2, then the force of his punch would be 10,000kg!
Therefore, what was truly powerful was not the cultivation realm, but the level of one’s movement technique, strength output level, and fist strength level.
“Wang Xu, here!” In front of the door, Red Ax waved at Wang Xu.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The Crimson Flame Legion had already accepted a C-rank mission: collect fifty Sandworm insect beast corpses.
Originally, the Crimson Flame Legion received a B-rank mission. However, with Wang Xu’s participation, they did not dare to take any risks and could only choose a C-rank mission that was one level lower.
“The Sandworm beast is a level-five insect beast. It’s a little difficult for you to deal with. Just leave it to us.” Golden Shield patted Wang Xu’s shoulder and said.
Wang Xu nodded. This was his first mission, so he needed to train his teamwork with the team and understand the mode of the mission.
“Let’s go!”
Wang Xu and the others boarded the train to the insect beast area. Along the way, Golden Shield specially reminded them about the things they had to abide by when doing missions.
“Don’t act rashly!”
“You must obey orders!”
“Watch your surroundings!” Wang Xu nodded and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, my life is still worth some money. I won’t do anything rash.”
A moment later, the train stopped.
“Remember, our target today is the Sandworm beast. This is a gregarious insect. I’ll be in charge of attracting it later. We’ll attack when I attract it,” Golden Shield said as he walked.
Golden Shield was the leader of the Crimson Flame Legion and the only level six. He naturally had to do such a dangerous thing himself.
“It’s here. The nest of the Sandworm Beast is ahead. Everyone, hide first.” Golden Shield stretched out his hand to stop everyone.
What greeted Wang Xu’s eyes was a ruin covered in sand. In a few dilapidated buildings, an earth yellow insect beast that looked like a crocodile was lying on the ground enjoying the sunlight. The Sandworm Beast had a huge mouth that could spit out the acid which can melt steel. Moreover, its skin was very thick. Only an A-grade weapon could tear it open.
“Three at twelve o’clock, five at two, and one at ten,” Red Eye said quickly. “I’ll attract them first. Get ready to attack.” As soon as he finished speaking, Golden Shield began to move towards ten o’clock. Clearly, he wanted to start with the lesser number.
“Uh!” The Sandworm Beast that was sunbathing discovered Golden Shield. Its cold and heartless eyes landed on Golden Shield, and its crocodile-like body slid on the sand at an extremely fast speed!
Golden Shield was not slow either. When he was about to approach everyone, he roared in a low voice, “Attack!”
Immediately, the black whip, blue sword, the Blood Bone Giant Saber, and the red ax enveloped the Sandworm Beast!
“Pfft!” This Sandworm Beast didn’t even have time to roar before its skin was torn apart by the attacks that filled the sky. Everyone had A-grade weapons, so killing it was extremely easy. In the end, Golden Shield took out an alloy shield that was sharp like a blade, and the head of the Sandworm Beast was instantly sent flying
“Alright, that’s it. We’ve completed the mission in one go!” Everyone was excited. This time, they cooperated very well. They attacked almost in an instant and didn’t leave any room for the Sandworm Beast at all.
Next, Golden Shield went to attract the three Sandworm Beasts at the twelve o’clock direction. These three beasts stayed together so they could only lure them far away before killing them.
Wang Xu quickly integrated into the legion and cooperated with the team to kill.
“Commander, let me handle this Sandworm Beast,” Wang Xu suddenly said. Not far away, a Sandworm Beast was alone. There were no other Sandworm Beasts around, so no matter how loud it made, it wouldn’t alarm the insect nest.

“Are you sure?” Golden Shield glanced at Wang Xu.
“Yes.” Wang Xu nodded firmly.
Golden Shield agreed when he saw that Wang Xu insisted on killing it alone. In any case, this Sandworm Beast could not do anything with them around.
Wang Xu held the Blood Bone Giant Saber in his hand and approached the Sandworm Beast step by step.
Killing a level five with the strength of a level four would be his first magnificent feat!
