A battle was taken down with ease.
Everyone was extremely happy.
Especially Vashi. He had expected that their combat power would improve once they had weapons, but he did not expect the improvement to be this dramatic.
After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone looked at Ke Yunyao with bright, excited eyes. After such intense real combat, they finally understood just how powerful the weapons she had forged were.
And just when they thought the weapons were already impressive enough, there were still some hidden surprises.
“Yunyao, did you add something extra to our weapons?” Yan Chixi asked. She could clearly feel that after her blade struck the Azure Rhinobull, its movements slowed slightly.
Ke Yunyao looked at their burning gazes and took a step back before answering their question.
“Those are just additional properties from medicinal plants.”
What? There was such a good thing?
Yan Zhou immediately said excitedly, thinking back to what had just happened, “So… does that mean our weapons are coated with poison?”
Ke Yunyao shook her head and clicked her tongue.
“Not really… it’s not very toxic. At most, it just causes dizziness in whoever or whatever gets injured.”
What’s with that tone? Almost as if she was regretting it?
Everyone suddenly felt that beneath Ke Yunyao’s somewhat soft and harmless appearance, there might actually be a rather ruthless core.
Vashi suddenly spoke up.
“Yunyao, the energy guns we have—do they have different effects compared to theirs?”
Ke Yunyao replied matter-of-factly, “Of course. Those are the only weapons I personally use. Their effects are a bit stronger.”
Vashi suddenly understood.
No wonder those Azure Rhinobulls fell so quickly.
Meng Lingling looked at the energy gun in her hand and felt slightly unsettled.
She had already sensed something unusual about the weapon earlier, but hearing it confirmed made her feel that Ke Yunyao was… somewhat dangerous.
After all, what normal person would coat weapons in toxins?
That’s too sinister.
In fact, not only Meng Lingling, but others felt the same way.
But at the same time—
they really liked it.
So what if it was a little “sinister”? It was extremely effective.
Besides, they weren’t the ones being targeted.
Excitement surged through them.
Because the weapons exceeded expectations by far, Vashi led the team through wave after wave of star beasts, sweeping across the area.
During this time, they encountered another team.
At that moment, Vashi’s group was in the middle of a fierce battle with a herd of star beasts. Their entire team was highly energized, and the fighting was extremely intense.
The passing team watched in a daze.
This level of combat strength was absurdly high.
After watching for a while, they did not even dare to think about interfering.
Because Vashi’s team looked far too aggressive. If they tried to intervene, the weapons might very well turn on them instead.
Moreover, that team was in a bad situation—they only had two weapons equipped so far. There was no way they could compete with a fully armed team like this.
No courage. Absolutely no courage.
But even if they didn’t dare interfere, they could still observe.
Even if they couldn’t do anything today, maybe tomorrow would be different.
They carefully watched for weaknesses, thinking that if they couldn’t deal with this team alone, they might cooperate with others.
But the more they watched, the more serious their expressions became.
“Captain, who is their mech engineer?”
Not only were they producing so many weapons, they even made flying boards. Envy practically dripped from their eyes.
“I don’t know. I only know their commander is Vashi O’Kali, one of the top entrants in the command department.”
“They must have found a materials box. Otherwise, there’s no way they could have so many ores.”
Their mech engineer spoke irritably.
The captain glanced at him.
“Yeah, you’re right. They’re all new students. Success rates are limited. They probably found several materials boxes.”
The engineer’s dissatisfaction immediately disappeared after being validated.
“Exactly. That must be it. Otherwise, where would they get so many materials?”
The captain silently sighed in relief.
Good. As long as the mech engineer didn’t turn hostile.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to compete with anyone else.
“Alright, let’s go. They’re about to finish.”
Soon, the group quickly retreated from the area.
On Vashi’s side, they once again secured a victory and quickly cleared the battlefield before leaving.
“Captain, did you notice those ‘small mice’ just now?” Yan Zhou asked.
Vashi nodded.
“Leave them alone. They didn’t dare to provoke us. Our main goal now is to earn points.”
Yan Zhou nodded in understanding.
The others agreed as well.
In truth, those observers were not very well hidden. Their spiritual energy kept sweeping around, and anyone slightly perceptive would have noticed them. They were simply ignored because they behaved themselves.
“Let’s go! Next location!”
“Wooo—let’s go!”
They spent the entire morning sweeping through the region, finally stopping at noon.
After a busy morning, they needed to replenish energy.
Jiang Tian once again showcased his cooking skills and prepared a fragrant barbecue feast.
After eating and resting, they did not immediately set off again. Instead, they stayed put.
They had found more ores during the morning sweep, so Ke Yunyao planned to finish upgrading the remaining flying boards.
No one objected. More flying boards meant smoother movement.
Two hours later, she successfully produced the remaining five flying boards.
Yan Chixi and the others held their boards with excitement.
Even though they had used more luxurious flying equipment before, none of it felt as special as this.
With the full set of flying boards, their mobility was practically divine.
They swept from east to west, covering the entire map.
Unlike other teams that had to flee from beast packs, they moved fast and flexibly, and almost no star beast group could stop them.
Within a single day, their points skyrocketed—from a few hundred on the first day to nearly 5,000.
