Another Breakthrough

"What bloodline did Brother Xu inherit? Can you show me?"

Zhu Jian was a real man. He could afford to lose and wasn't scared to admit that his strength was inferior to Xu Mo's.

After all, the other party confronted him head-on and even forced him back by a few steps. He faced this fact and was completely impressed by Xu Mo.

That was why he was so curious about Xu Mo's bloodline beast.

"My bloodline beast is the Chongming Bird."

After Xu Mo said that, he summoned his bloodline beast.

Whoosh!

The Chongming Bird's phantom appeared, causing an instant commotion on the entire city wall.

Most of the soldiers had never heard of the Chongming Bird and thought that it was no big deal.

However, the bird's terrifying aura put them in uncomfortable positions.

The Blue Dragon Division's Inheritors could feel their blood boiling, and they couldn't help but feel the urge to worship and surrender to the bird.

Fortunately, Xu Mo had only shortly displayed the Chongming Bird's phantom before immediately putting it away. He did this so that the Blue Dragon Division's members wouldn't make a fool of themselves in public.

After seeing the Chongming Bird, Tao Yi, who had followed Xu Mo up the city wall, suddenly remembered what his old friend in the new division had told him before.

He noticed that his colleagues from the Blue Dragon Division all had ugly expressions on their faces. He smiled and went forward to pat their shoulders.

"Alright, let's not be anymore. In the future, we'll all be comrades. Don't always look at others like that!"

"Tao Yi, do you know something? What's going on?"

Cao Yi and Zhuang Daming were good friends with Tao Yi. They immediately put their arms around Tao Yi's shoulders and began to interrogate him.

"Previously, when the new recruits had their bloodline inheritance session, I had a friend who was a staff member there. He said that Xu Mo had inherited a 9-star Star Glory-ranked bloodline. Moreover, as you may have seen just now, his current strength is at 1-star Silver rank!"

When Tao Yi said this, he had a complicated expression on his face. He remembered the instructions the admiral had given him.

The other party was already a 1-star Silver rank, yet the admiral wanted a 7-star Bronze rank like Tao Yi to protect Xu Mo. Who was protecting who right now?

"F*ck, is that true? Old Tao, are you trying to trick me?"

"That's right. Old Tao, are you sure he has a 9-star Star Glory-ranked bloodline? And what the hell is a Chongming Bird? Now, you're telling me Xu Mo already has 1-star Silver-ranked strength?"

Not only did Tao Yi have complicated feelings, but Zhu Jian, who had just calmed down, was also confused.

Tao Yi saw Zhu Jian's expression, his depressed mood instantly improving.

It was obvious that not everyone shared the same thoughts he had, but most of them shared a resemblance.

Fortunately, Xu Mo was on their side. If he was on the monster's side…

The consequences were unimaginable.

With this in mind, more and more people clung to Xu Mo. The soldiers surrounded him with greetings.

"Brother Xu, I didn't know you were so strong. 1-star Silver rank? F*ck, and at such a young age, too!"

"That's right. With Brother Xu around, our side will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future."

"Brother Xu, tell us. What kind of beast is a Chongming Bird?"

*

The soldiers' enthusiastic questions made Xu Mo confused about which to answer first.

Zhu Jian came up and helped him out.

He put his arm around Xu Mo's shoulder and gave him a thumbs-up with a big smile. "Brother Xu, in the future, you'll be here with us. Whatever you reply, we'll believe exactly as you say!"

Hearing Zhu Jian's words, Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, then he laughed along with everyone else.

Soldiers were people with no ill intentions, and they said whatever they wanted. Xu Mo felt that staying in such a place wasn't going to be a bad idea.

At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened, and a huge convoy of carriages moved out.

Xu Mo looked down at the convoy driving toward the monster corpses with a confused expression.

"That's the Logistics Division. Whenever a monster tide ends, they specially come to collect the carcasses back for research. They belong to the Alliance Munitions Factory!"

Hearing Tao Yi's introduction, Xu Mo immediately understood.

This was the principle of returning the favor.

Under circumstances where ordinary firearms cannot cause any damage to monsters, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive study of the monster's bodies.

Only by studying their weaknesses and knowing how to harm them would humans have a chance to survive!

As he was thinking about it, Xu Mo suddenly felt a burning energy in his body quickly circulating to his limbs and bones.

"Am I going to break through again?" Xu Mo was puzzled.

After completing the side mission, his fusion rate with the Chongming Bird increased by 20%, increasing his strength by tons. In the end, he broke through the shackles of 1-star Silver rank and stepped into 2-star Silver rank!

"Brother Xu, are you alright?" Noticing Xu Mo's daze, Tao Yi and the others could not help but ask with concern.

"It's nothing. I just comprehended something from the battle and managed to break through." Xu Mo smiled shyly.

His smile didn't matter, but Zhu Jian and the others were about to spit out blood.

What the hell! Was his bloodline domineering to that extent?

How long had it been since the battle? He could have broken through at any time, but it happened now of all times?

This was a big blow to the others.

"You're really strong!" Tao Yi came back to his senses and shook his head with a bitter smile. Then, he led Xu Mo back to the temporary residence outside the admiral's manor.

An hour later, in the admiral's mansion, Zeng Rong sat in the main seat and listened to the battle results from each city wall.

"The Ferocious Tiger Division killed 132 monsters…"

"The Golden Phoenix Division killed 107 monsters…"

"The Dark Mysterious Division killed 96 monsters…"

"The Blue Dragon Division has killed 239 monsters…"

Zeng Rong listened to the battle results reported by the various places and nodded repeatedly, but he noticed something was wrong near the end.

"Huh? Report the battle results again, especially from the Blue Dragon Division. Is there a mistake in the statistics?"

The clerk was stunned. He carefully read the report in his hand and reported it again after confirming that there were no mistakes.

"It is true, Admiral. The total number of monsters the Blue Dragon Division killed is 239. This Logistics Division gave this data."

"How is that possible?" Zeng Rong suddenly stood up and went to the clerk. He took the report. "Where did the Blue Dragon Division get so many monsters?"

According to his experience, the Blue Dragon Division's city wall was located in the city's sunken part within his jurisdiction, which was usually a place where monsters could not rush in.

In the past, their highest battle record was only a little over 100. Because of this, they had the safest spot among the four tribes.

That was why Zeng Rong had arranged for Xu Mo to go there. However, he did not expect such a high record this time, so he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Admiral, I can explain the battle results."

At this moment, a voice came from outside. Zeng Rong looked up.

Zhu Jian led the Blue Dragon Division's other members into the hall.

"Admiral, there were more than 100 monsters in today's battle. It was Brother Xu Mo who helped us kill them!"

Upon hearing this, the entire venue was flipped upside down.
