Chapter 509: Chapter 310: Changes in People’s Hearts, Demon Slaying (Part 2)

This was too bizarre!

The Origin Demons’ physiological structure was truly unique. They were said to be living beings, yet they left almost no corpse behind after death, and their individual combat strengths were remarkably similar.

If you were to call them puppets, their combat performance suggested they possessed a certain degree of autonomy.

Now, Yu Fei had also discovered that the Tier 8 Origin Demons could transmit electromagnetic waves—a detail that likely no one else had noticed.

The Origin Demons were the only alien race in history to have ever invaded the home planet. According to records, after entering, they would merely clear out the humans near the Cross-Border Black Fog and eliminate the high-tier combatants of that era before leaving.

This behavior was also quite strange. If humans were their enemies, why not annihilate them completely?

’It’s truly hard to understand!’

Setting those thoughts aside for now, only one Tier 8 Origin Demon remained. Unable to hold out on its own, it was soon slain by Yu Fei using the same methods.

This time, no electromagnetic waves were generated.

Feng Hua had been watching Yu Fei’s side of the battlefield the whole time. No matter how she looked at it, she still found his combat prowess hard to believe.

Slaying a Tier 8 Origin Demon while only at the Gang Qi realm... this was likely a first in the history of martial arts.

She recalled that even during the tumultuous era when the old and new calendars transitioned, none of the surviving martial arts records suggested the Grand Ancestor had ever been this powerful. At the Gang Qi realm, he had only been capable of facing a Grandmaster head-on without being defeated.

Yu Fei had set a new record in the world of martial arts.

Based on the results, this was indeed the case. In terms of achievements, Yu Fei seemed even stronger than the Grand Ancestor, but when it came to raw power, Yu Fei was actually inferior.

He had relied on his spatial abilities to move around, using the space-piercing property of his "Zhanming" technique to wear down the Tier 8 Origin Demon until it died.

If he had to face it head-on, Yu Fei was still far from a match.

To make an analogy, the Grand Ancestor was something of a "stat monster," while Yu Fei was a "mechanics monster." Other Martial Artists could not replicate his feats.

After resolving the crisis on the main front, Yu Fei returned to lead the members of the Celestial Pride Class in expanding their gains.

When it came to the efficiency of clearing out Spider Demons, he was even faster than a Grandmaster.

Moreover, with him taking central command, the Celestial Pride Class’s efficiency soared. In terms of command ability, his control over the battlefield’s details was second to none. This was thanks to the Void Clearing Mirror’s capacity to process complex information, amplified by the twenty-fold increase in neural reaction speed granted by his "Fleeting Life in a Flash" ability.

Viewed from high above, the Celestial Pride Class had suddenly transformed into a terrifying war machine: precise, lethal, and efficient.

The opponents before each member were always ones they could easily handle within their capabilities, either to be jointly annihilated or killed individually.

The stronger ones were taken out by his Immeasurable Sword Qi, leaving the rest perfectly within everyone else’s ability to handle.

Less than twenty minutes after Yu Fei officially took command, the multi-layered chat groups in their mental network had already erupted in a clamor.

"Awesome! This feels so damn awesome!"

Xiang Kun couldn’t help but roar. He had never had such an experience since he started participating in war missions.

Every enemy he encountered was practically served up on a platter for him to reap, and he was perfectly capable of handling them.

Their strength was originally inferior to the previous year’s upperclassmen. They could handle Tier 5 Spider Demons just fine in battle, but while they could also kill Tier 6 ones, it took considerable effort.

But under Yu Fei’s guidance, as long as he followed the route given in his vision, there would invariably be a Spider Demon with an exposed weakness. He just had to thrust his spear at the vital point marked by the big boss, and the kill was complete.

This felt too good.

Yu Fei assigned a different role to each member. Xiang Kun had strong offense but weak defense, with extremely fast short-burst speed, making him perfect for delivering kill shots.

Yi Shuang, for example, was skilled with a long whip. While she lacked killing power against the Spider Demons, she could easily make her opponents lose their balance during a fight, interrupt their attacks, and expose their weaknesses. This made her ideal for engaging enemies on the front line and assisting others in securing kills.

By linking everyone’s abilities together in this way, Yu Fei unleashed a power far greater than the sum of its parts.

The wondrous art of the Void Clearing Mirror allowed Yu Fei to easily process all detailed information and perform real-time tactical deductions and command deployments.

"Fleeting Life in a Flash" magnified this effect. On the battlefield, this translated into Yu Fei being able to rapidly find the optimal solution and issue commands in real time.

In truth, the main reason he could achieve this was that all two hundred-plus members of the Celestial Pride Class possessed sensory abilities. This provided an unprecedented density of battlefield information. If his subordinates had been a group of ordinary Martial Artists, he would have been utterly incapable of this.

"How the hell does Yu Fei do it?! Yun Jing, compared to the big boss, your commanding ability is a pile of crap!"

a member of the Sleep Bureau joked.

"You’re fucking dreaming! Next time, I’ll send you to your death myself!"

Yun Jing retorted without hesitation. It was true that there was no comparison. As the first person in their class to master the sensory Secret Technique, she simply couldn’t comprehend Yu Fei’s monstrous performance.

’Can Yu Fei’s mind even handle such an onslaught of information? Even if his mind is strong enough thanks to his Cultivation Technique, what about his brain?’

’Everyone knows you need a brain to command a battle. Can a human brain even react this fast? It’s unreasonable. It’s practically anti-human.’

Yu Fei led the two hundred people, charging left and right, carving up the massive companies of Spider Demons. He wasn’t just slaughtering indiscriminately; he was shattering the key Spider Demon nodes that were most likely to affect the main battlefield.

As a result, even though the number of Spider Demons was still enormous, their ability to support the high-tier battlefield above was greatly diminished.

On the other side, the ground forces led by Zhang Hu and his men found their pressure relieved. Their own ability to support the high-tier battlefield increased dramatically, and in just a short while, they managed to kill many Tier 7 Origin Demons.

"Mr. Hu, do you think we should..."

Zhang Hu raised the giant blade, Dragon Sparrow, in his hand. A massive, nearly one-hundred-foot blade of Gang Qi swept out, cleaving through four Spider Demons in its path.

Then he slapped his brother-in-arms on the shoulder, his voice cold.

"In the middle of a war, don’t overthink things. It’s a good thing that Yu Fei could provide timely support. We’ll talk about everything else after we win this battle!"

His expression was grim. He had persuaded his brothers to align themselves with Yu Wen Baji, all for the sake of securing a favorable position within the Celestial Tiger Corps. He had hoped it would be a stepping stone for future advancement.

He even hoped that after Yu Wen Baji suppressed Feng Hua and the others, he himself would attain a higher status.

But with Yu Fei’s appearance, his decision was now a complete failure.

Many people in the Puppy Patrol were already against his move to side with Yuwen. A faction led by Gao Nianzhen was already estranged from him. If Yu Wen Baji had managed to suppress Feng Hua’s group, it would have proven his decision was correct, and he would have gained more support.

But now...

Gazing at the distant battlefield where Yu Fei moved as if unopposed, with the peerless Feng Hua and others under his command, a trace of resentment actually rose in his heart.

’Did these people know Yu Fei was coming? Why didn’t they tell me?’

He could clearly feel that as Yu Fei slew the two Tier 8 Origin Demons and led the rest of the Celestial Pride Class across the battlefield, the atmosphere within the Puppy Patrol had changed significantly.

’If... if Yu Fei actually defeats Yu Wen Baji in a direct confrontation, my Puppy Patrol will probably fall apart in an instant.’

The requirements for teamwork and organization within the Celestial Pride Class decreased over time.

By the fourth-year stage, the official rules gave him less authority over the other class members. After graduation, how many people a class leader could rally would depend entirely on their own methods and charisma.

Zhang Hu suppressed the displeasure in his heart and silently continued to slaughter the enemies before him.

"Faster! A little faster!"

Gao Nianzhen led the few men following him in a frantic chase along Matie Road. Unfortunately, all they saw along the way were the remains of many Spider Demons, and even the armor and weapons left behind by a Tier 7 Origin Demon royal. But there was no sign of any people.

"Mr. Gao, look, what’s that?"

Gao Nianzhen glanced over and froze.

"Fuck... a Tier 8 Origin Demon!"

Origin Demons of different tiers used different weapons; they could tell the difference.

"Yu Fei... is he even human? I remember he hasn’t reached the Grandmaster realm, right?!"

Gao Nianzhen couldn’t be bothered with anything else, his heart pounding with excitement. He knew exactly what that idiot Zhang Hu was thinking, and he looked down on him for it.

’I might as well take this chance to follow Yu Fei. I don’t want to be the boss, so I have to find a reliable one.’

Just as he came off Matie Road, Gao Nianzhen was stunned by the sight before him.

He had never seen the Celestial Pride Class like this. The area was littered with the wreckage of hundreds of thousands of Spider Demons, so dense he couldn’t see clearly.

Suddenly, Yu Fei’s voice echoed in his mind.

"Want in? Reply with ’1’ to join the fight!"

"Count me in! You have to count me in!"

The words had barely left his mouth when he saw the dragon-like unit in the distance carve a graceful arc and charge toward them!

’They’re coming to pick me up!’

"Brothers, I’m not going back to the Puppy Patrol! I’m following Yu Fei from now on!"

With a resolute look in his eyes, Gao Nianzhen made his decision without a hint of hesitation.
