As the Raikiri Kirin descended with a roar, a thousand-meter radius around its impact point transformed into a silver sea of lightning. Even among the tens of thousands of sea beasts, those that had submerged to avoid the blast could not entirely escape the damage.
Numerous sea beasts perished, while those that narrowly escaped death were stunned by the terrifying lightning, floating to the surface.
But this time, Yu Zhibo would not let them off easily.
"Raiton: Raiton Ranmaru Shuriken!"
Lightning spiritual energy gathered in his palm as he unleashed a self-created ninjutsu, a combination of Rasengan and lightning spiritual energy, infusing it with a trace of origin power.
A ball of lightning was born in his palm, rotating and compressing. After extreme condensation, it emitted a terrifying pressure that distorted even the void.
Finally, the lightning spiritual energy infused with origin power transformed into a lightning ball with crackling arcs on its surface. Yu Zhibo flicked it towards the sea.
BOOM!
The small lightning ball touched the sea surface, causing a terrifying explosion. A ball of light with a radius of tens of meters was born, and terrifying currents spread outwards. Amplified by the origin power, these currents were far more potent than natural lightning, instantly electrocuting all the stunned sea beasts.
"Congratulations to the host for killing a peak C-class sea beast, gaining 2000 energy points. Current energy points: 8.94 million."
"Congratulations to the host for killing a B-class sea beast, gaining 8000 energy points. Current energy points: 8.948 million."
"Congratulations to the host..."
System notifications of kills appeared continuously on the system page. Yu Zhibo glanced at them; his energy points were approaching 9 million.
The sea beasts in this area had been cleared, but thousands of kilometers away, Wu Boyue was locked in a fierce battle with two A-class sea beasts. Gripping his long saber, he transformed into a ball of light, his attacks a relentless flurry. While protecting himself, he also unleashed countless massive, sharp blade energies, inflicting terrible wounds on the two early-stage A-class sea beasts in an instant.
Moreover, Yu Zhibo noticed a profound aura of breaking through emanating from Wu Boyue during the fight, indicating that he was about to enter the A-class.
Yu Zhibo considered for a moment and decided not to intervene. He directly split into twenty water clones, ordering them to assist at other fortresses.
Water clones differed from shadow clones; they possessed only about one-tenth of the original body's strength, but their advantage was that their death had less impact on the original body than shadow clones. Their strength was approximately peak B-class, and they could only use water-style jutsu.
However, on the sea, their water-style ninjutsu could undoubtedly be maximized. As they arrived at various battlefields, they utilized their water-style jutsu to great effect.
"Suiton: Suidanha!"
At Fortress No. 8, Yu Zhibo's first water clone clasped his hands together and spat out a water projectile with extremely strong cutting power, instantly bisecting over a dozen BC-class sea beasts.
"Suiton: Dai Kamizuru no Jutsu!"
At Fortress No. 7, the second water clone instantly created a colossal shark-shaped water bomb using spiritual energy. It streaked rapidly through the water, like a shark, tearing and devouring the lives of the sea beasts.
This shark, initially the size of a truck, instantly absorbed the demonic energy from the attacks of sea beasts that contained it, growing larger and accelerating its harvesting of sea beast lives. After continuously being attacked and expanding to the size of a house with a volume of two hundred square meters, it finally exploded, scattering countless sharp water projectiles that killed all the surrounding sea beasts. The seawater was instantly dyed red.
"Suiton: Senjizame!"
At Fortress No. 9, the third clone stood on the sea surface, his tall frame swaying with the waves. He then slapped the water surface with both hands, instantly creating thousands of shark-shaped water projectiles using spiritual energy. These continuously attacked the sea beasts beneath the water. Before long, patches of blood appeared in the seawater, dyeing it red.
As for clones No. 4 through No. 10, they were also rapidly heading to other fortresses and utilizing their water-style jutsu to play their respective roles. Some were fiercely killing enemies, some created large water screens to block the beast tide's attacks, and others created massive water prisons to control enemies, facilitating their teammates' kills.
The Northern Sea defense line was approximately 1595 kilometers long, divided into 16 fortresses, guarded by 10 A-class individuals. At the center of the defense line was the Sword Saint Wang Chengyu himself.
"As expected of the Light of Xia, reaching A-class in such a short time is one thing, but even simple water clones possess such power. I admit it!"
After repelling seven sea beasts of Divine Rank 40 or higher, including one of Divine Rank 50, Wang Chengyu returned to the lighthouse for a brief recovery.
He listened to the battle situation reports from various defense lines through his Bluetooth headset. He watched Yu Zhibo's water clone at Fortress No. 8 use Suidanha to kill a large number of sea beasts, then unleash Daibakuha Shōha to disrupt the sea beast formation, granting the allied superhumans precious breathing room.
Seeing this, a smile of admiration appeared on his refined face.
The battle situation on the Northern Sea defense line had changed dramatically with the arrival of Yu Zhibo, an A-class rank six.
In terms of impact, his contribution after arriving on the battlefield was far greater than that of Sun Wenwu, an A-class gender-bender master at rank thirty, because he possessed too many large-scale attack skills that could instantly turn the tide of battle.
"Hmm? The Frenzy Clone has dissipated?"
On the other side, Yu Zhibo was unaware that his performance had earned the recognition of the Northern Sea defense line's strongest fighter. He absorbed the information transmitted after the Frenzy Clone's dissipation, feeling somewhat speechless.
This "Frenzy Clone" was very concerned about bullet comments. With over two billion people watching the live stream, there were bound to be trolls.
As a result, it ignored the dense stream of praise and precisely targeted the argumentative comments, engaging in a verbal spat.
As is well known, keyboard warriors' ability to evade the important points and distort facts was almost instinctual, and they could spew out infuriating remarks at will.
In the end, the Frenzy Clone completely lost its mind. In a fit of rage, it used the "Sea of Feces Illusion," causing countless people to vomit instantly and giving rise to dozens of "feces phantoms" across various locations. Finally, the platform administrators, unable to tolerate it any longer, closed the live stream after the vomiting, forcing it to reflect.
The Frenzy Clone was furious and wanted to go to the defense line to kill sea beasts to vent its anger, but Yu Zhibo's order was only to stream, and the spiritual energy allocated to it was not much.
Unable to stream and unable to fight, what was the point of its existence? In a fit of rage, the clone directly dissipated on the spot, which led to Yu Zhibo sensing the clone's information.
However, the Frenzy Clone's release of the "Sea of Feces" had brought him nearly a billion emotional points. When calculated carefully, it wasn't a loss.
Yu Zhibo stood in the sky, his Mangekyo Sharingan observing the battle situations at various fortresses through the endless void. He found that the battles had relatively stabilized. At Fortress No. 11, the gender-bender master Sun Wenwu was even dominating a rank twenty-nine sea beast, and it seemed there was nothing for him to help with.
As for Fortress No. 12, the former head of the Investigation Department, Lin Xiuquan, who had entered the A-class, used his wind-attribute abilities to amplify his sword energy, unleashing a sword energy nearly a thousand meters long that killed all low-level sea beasts and an early-stage A-class sea beast. Thus, there was no need for assistance there either.
So, he thought for a moment and decided to protect Wu Boyue, in case a more powerful sea beast suddenly appeared and crushed him. Meanwhile, he took out his phone to check if the Shenhua Bureau had any other mission directives and to apply for the unblocking of his live stream to earn emotional points by streaming his monster kills.
Taking out his new phone with the Shenhua app pre-installed, Yu Zhibo logged into his account and saw a continuous stream of notifications.
First, there was the announcement of his live stream being blocked.
Then came the arrival of merit points. With his continuous killing of sea beasts during this period and the defeat of Zhu Yan, his merit points had surpassed 500 million, granting him the purchase authority for higher-tier goods.
Upon gaining the purchase authority for higher-tier goods, many new items began to refresh.
These included various divine beast blood, divine beast organs, and various divine weapon-level weapons and attire.
After he advanced to the A-class, the Information Department immediately certified him as A-class through the Shenhua app and granted him higher permissions.
These permissions included not only access to much A-class information but also free viewing of various insights and experiences related to advancing beyond the A-class.
Yu Zhibo first looked at the information on divine beast blood.
Among these divine beast bloods, the blood of the divine beast Feilian (also known as the God of Wind) cost two hundred million merit points per drop. In addition, there was the blood of divine beasts like the True Dragon and Phoenix. These divine beast bloods were extremely rare; China's reserves were only around 10 drops, each costing five hundred million merit points, and requiring significant contributions and merit medals to purchase.
Currently, Yu Zhibo possessed two merit medals. One was awarded for transmitting the information from the sensing stone, and the other was obtained through live streaming to awaken the public.
Merit medals automatically refreshed after he reached the A-class and accumulated a certain amount of merit points.
As for organs, there were organs from various divine beasts, with the more famous ones including the organs of Zhuyin, True Dragon, and True Phoenix. These could be used for refining artifacts or for transplantation, each with its own unique benefits.
Looking at divine weapons, many legendary divine weapons appeared, such as the God-Beating Whip, the Nine Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, and the Samsara Undying Disk, which were clearly not products of Earth.
Yu Zhibo took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
Divine beasts were different from fierce beasts. Fierce beasts were like Zhu Yan and Taotie, with lower life levels. But divine beasts were legendary creatures whose strength might have already reached S-class. How did Xia obtain these things?
Logically, spiritual energy appeared in 1999, and it had only been in Earth for less than twenty-two years. However, Yu Zhibo checked the information of many high-ranking officials in Xia and found that many generals were already over seventy years old. Even Lin Wanjun was over sixty, and Wang Shouyi was over a hundred years old. This was told to him by Tianhu, who warned him not to have any thoughts about Lin Wanjun.
"Didn't they say it becomes very difficult to awaken after the age of 25? Twenty-two years ago, they were all in their thirties or forties, and Wang Shouyi was nearly a hundred. How did they awaken?"
Yu Zhibo thought he understood this world quite well, but after entering the A-class and obtaining more information, he realized that what he saw was merely a corner of what the country wanted him to see.
However, his attention was soon drawn to the Feilian (God of Wind) bloodline and True Phoenix blood. After learning their functions, his heart began to burn with desire.
Feilian was a divine beast that controlled wind power. A single drop of its blood contained the origin of wind. After absorbing it, he should be able to awaken wind-style jutsu.
Then, combined with research into other jutsu, he could develop new jutsu, such as dust-style jutsu.
In the original work, Mu Yagura directly destroyed Madara's 25 Susanoos with dust-style jutsu, illustrating its terrifying power.
Furthermore, wind-style jutsu combined with earth-style jutsu could lead to the development of crystal-style jutsu, and combined with water-style jutsu, it could lead to ice-style jutsu. These could provide him with more means.
As for Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, he could unleash it at will.
Yu Zhibo then looked at the True Phoenix blood, which was even more incredible.
The True Phoenix possessed the power of Nirvana. After fusing and absorbing it, he could gain a chance for rebirth from a single drop of blood. If he could even achieve rebirth from a drop of blood, did that mean that after fusing with it, he could dig out his eyes and then use the True Phoenix blood to regenerate Mangekyo Sharingan, thus fusing into Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?
Thinking of this, Yu Zhibo's heart burned with excitement. He immediately spent 500 million merit points and one merit medal to place an order for the True Phoenix blood, eager to obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Purchase successful. Due to the high value of the item, the process is rather complex. Delivery will take approximately three days. Please wait patiently."
Looking at the information from the app store, Yu Zhibo was somewhat surprised but quickly calmed down.
Next, he still needed to earn merit points and perform great deeds to obtain merit medals. Besides the Feilian blood and True Phoenix blood, he coveted all the other items.
"I wonder which part of the country is suffering the most severe damage right now. For me, the invasion of alien beasts is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity."
Yu Zhibo murmured. The merit points that he had previously considered optional suddenly became exceptionally precious.
He was eager to awaken the Rinnegan to revive his parents, and the prerequisite for awakening the Rinnegan was to first possess the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Thinking of this, he checked the news on the Shenhua app and found that Modu was currently suffering the most severe damage. As the largest port city in the country, it was not only being fiercely invaded by a massive beast tide but also had a terrifying large spatial wormhole appearing in its sky.
According to real-time data, three fierce beasts of Divine Rank 30 or higher and over 60 Evernight creatures were currently wreaking havoc. Most of the city's population had already been evacuated, with only superhumans resisting the invasion of alien beasts. Xia was also continuously reinforcing it.
"If I achieve great merit in Modu, not only will I gain a massive amount of merit points, but I will also surely get energy points and merit medals. Moreover, it will greatly advance the progress of my main mission. It's a win-win situation."
Yu Zhibo thought to himself. He split into two clones, allocating a large amount of spiritual energy and a certain amount of origin power to them, and ordered them to guard the Northern Sea defense line.
Then, he instantly replenished his spiritual energy to full and used the Shenhua app to contact the Information Department of the General Bureau, preparing to apply to headquarters to rush to Modu for assistance.
At the same time, he applied to unblock his live stream to earn emotional points by streaming his battles.
Just then, a surge of spiritual energy tides swept across the heavens and earth towards Wu Boyue, who was thousands of kilometers away. Then, a blade light, a thousand meters long and several hundred meters high, bloomed between heaven and earth.
Yu Zhibo's gaze was instantly captivated.
"Hahaha!"
Accompanied by hearty laughter, the terrifying blade light instantly killed the two A-class sea beasts in front of Wu Boyue. They transformed into liquid wine and entered his gourd, while the blade split the seawater in half and carved a long crack in the seabed.
Along the edges of the crack, overbearing blade energy permeated, causing the split seawater to only slowly gather after a full two minutes.
The might of the Blade Saint, terrifying indeed!
"Today, I, Wu Boyue, shall break through with my blade!"
Wu Boyue's voice echoed through heaven and earth, filled with boundless exhilaration, releasing all the pent-up frustration and depression he had endured.
"Hahaha, congratulations!"
At Fortress No. 8, Sword Saint Wang Chengyu, seated atop the lighthouse, let out a loud laugh that boomed like thunder, reaching Fortress No. 4 where Wu Boyue was located.
Wu Boyue laughed heartily, and from the Divine Rank, he took a step across thirty Divine Ranks, then transformed into a dazzling ball of light and streaked towards Sun Wenwu.
The blade light flashed past, instantly turning the rank twenty-nine sea beast fighting Sun Wenwu into a bloody pulp. It eventually transformed into liquid wine containing rich origin power and was poured into the gourd.
Sun Wenwu, whose kill was stolen: "???"
