"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If I really die in the underground cave, killing a few more high-level underground cultivators will be a way to avenge me."
Li Changsheng said, then pulled the three of them to the middle passage. "Old Wu, from now on, pay close attention to these three. They are all the pride of our human race."
This is Wu Chuan, a student of the former principal of Magic Martial Arts Academy. You can just call him Senior Wu. He's a ninth-grade Grandmaster. If you encounter any danger later, just run towards him.
Li Changsheng addressed the three of them and introduced them to each other.
"Hello, Senior Wu!" ×2
"Greetings, Master Wu!"
"Li Changsheng - you're just causing trouble. You know I'm a ninth-rank official. If they want to come over, they'll probably be suppressed by the aftershocks of my battle with the other side before they even get close. Following me is probably the most unsafe thing for me."
Wu Chuan looked helplessly at Li Changsheng, whose hair was now completely white. Although he wanted to help Lu Hao and the others, he knew they wouldn't even be able to get through the battlefield.
"Oh right, I forgot about that, but it's not a big deal. Just take good care of them," Li Changsheng said, patting his head.
"Don't worry, I'd be keeping an eye on them and protecting them even if you didn't tell me. These three are practically celebrities here; I often hear other grandmasters talk about them. They're all quite strong now. If they're to be in the first batch, I'll definitely help them if I have the chance." Seeing Li Changsheng's pleading expression, how could Wu Chuan refuse? Besides, he was already quite curious about Lu Hao and the other two, especially Lu Hao, who had reached the seventh rank in just over a year. He wondered if, given more time, he could reach the ninth rank, or even the pinnacle.
As a ninth-rank cultivator, he naturally knew the current situation of the human race. The ninth-rank cultivator was doing well, but what humanity lacked most at the moment was a peerless expert. If a peerless expert could emerge, it would be more important than anything else.
So he wasn't just saying it for nothing; if Lu Hao really encountered any danger, he would definitely help.
"Alright, that's enough. I'll be going now. I still need to practice a bit more, otherwise this sword won't be easy to draw."
After saying this, Old Man Li flew away on his sword, looking just like an immortal.
As he left, the masters present fell silent. Everyone knew that Li Changsheng had come to the underground caves to exchange his life for another and had no intention of returning.
"You guys come with me first. The underground passage isn't stable yet, it'll be ready in two or three days," Zhang Dingnan said kindly.
After all, Qin Fengqing and Lu Hao came voluntarily; the first batch to enter was practically guaranteed to survive.
But they still came, and as the governor of Nanjiang, Zhang Dingnan was naturally very grateful to them.
The three quickly followed Zhang Dingnan to the temporary camp. Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang had not yet recovered; they needed to heal their injuries as soon as possible so as not to affect the upcoming battle.
Lu Hao had nothing to do for the time being, so he began to temper his brain core in his room. While watching the matches, Lu Hao hadn't just been watching passively; he had spent his rest time tempering his brain core every day. In nearly twenty days, Lu Hao's mental strength increased by 40 hertz.
If Lu Hao hadn't been left with so little time, he would have liked to cultivate slowly like this. But that's impossible now. He has to improve rapidly, at the fastest speed. There's no time left for him to improve slowly like this.
On December 20th, Fang Ping led the Magic Martial Arts support team to arrive. At the same time, Li Hansong from Jingwu, persuaded by Fang Ping, also led a team to the two martial arts universities. A total of over a hundred martial artists came, including 7 sixth-rank martial artists, 20 fifth-rank martial artists, 35 fourth-rank martial artists, and 40 peak third-rank martial artists.
This greatly replenished the mid-grade combat power on the Nanjiang side.
Currently, more than a thousand mid-level rank soldiers have gathered in Nanjiang. Nanjiang has drawn its maximum number of mid-level rank soldiers, nearly 300, while the military has sent three to four hundred mid-level rank soldiers.
More than a hundred mid-level martial artists arrived from the Southern Garrison.
With reinforcements arriving from other places, it can be said that the entire martial arts world is paying close attention to the situation in Nanjiang recently.
Every newly opened underground passage presents both an opportunity and a challenge. If it is successfully defended, the local area can use this entrance to acquire abundant resources and cultivate countless masters. However, if it is not successfully defended, it will only disrupt the passage, causing countless martial artists to perish here, and the next time it is opened, it will be a disaster.
In the afternoon, the representatives who had come to support Wuhan University gathered to discuss the specific arrangements.
Zhang Dingnan came over and invited Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang over to arrange the specific matters for the martial arts students, since no one else could control so many martial arts students.
Lu Hao went along to see their arrangements. Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang spent the day...
Thanks to the combination of Life-Restoring Pill and Life Essence, I've already recovered 90%, and the rest is quite simple.
A few minutes later.
In a newly set-up temporary meeting room.
Lu Hao saw Fang Ping, Li Hansong, representatives from various martial arts universities, and other martial arts representatives who came to provide support.
It would be difficult for an ordinary person to suppress these geniuses and issue orders, but Wang Jinyang and Qin Fengqing had no pressure at all. After all, they could be said to be the two strongest people besides Lu Hao, so the others naturally wouldn't find fault with them.
Wang Jinyang didn't stand on ceremony. Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, he began to explain the situation: "The underground passage is expected to be stabilized by tomorrow. The first group to enter tomorrow will be the Grandmasters, along with some Rank Six experts."
Based on past experience with opening underground caves, the entrance to the cave appears randomly, which is probably uncontrollable.
However, if we can find the entrance, they will also find it. Once the passage is stable, if we don't send anyone in, they will come out.
Therefore, the battlefield should never be chosen unless absolutely necessary. We don't know what situation the Grandmasters on the ground will face, but usually it's a large city, with one ninth-rank master and ten eighth-rank masters.
Of course, we don't need to worry about those seventh-grade cultivators who exceed double digits; those are matters for grandmasters. We mid-grade cultivators mainly enter later. We can organize one batch of mid-grade cultivators and then another batch to enter. Grandmasters have restrictions on entering, but we don't. The second batch will be responsible for clearing the earth-level army around the passage and establishing strongholds there.
As for the lower-ranking martial artists who come to support us, they will be deployed after the stronghold is captured, when it will be safer to continue the unification process.
Wang Jinyang was talking about the arrangements for low- and medium-grade products.
"That's all fine. If we're in the second batch going down, will we be able to move around freely afterwards?"
Li Hansong asked.
"Yes, but you can leave once the third batch of reinforcements arrives after you've captured the stronghold. I know many of you are here for the resources in the newly opened dungeon, but you must understand that opportunities sometimes come with dangers. The newly opened dungeon is full of both opportunities and dangers. We don't recommend going out to explore alone. Even if you do want to explore, it's best to go in a team for better safety."
