"So strong!"

"One person suppressing two BOSSES, is this the Hall Master's current strength?"

"Looks like I made the right choice by switching professions, the Strength Series is truly the child of destiny. Once I reach a high-tier martial artist, I should be like the Hall Master, taking down opponents with ease!"

The players struggling against the Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snake watched Lin Qi, who was single-handedly overpowering two such snakes, and while not surprised, they were still amazed by Lin Qi's strength.

With a single strike, the ground felt as if it was split by lightning, leaving a trench hundreds of meters long, almost inhuman.

However, those most ecstatic were the ones who had switched to the Strength Series, like Fang Zhen.

Previously, Ye Qinglu's sword control amazed everyone, showing an unexpected playstyle for the Balance Series, ideal for group battles.

But now seeing Lin Qi's display of power, with both BOSSES barely able to resist, one could see the terrifying potential of the Strength Series. At the same level, it was clear they could suppress monsters. All they needed to do was master the corresponding Strength Martial Arts skills quickly, and naturally, they would become as powerful as Lin Qi.

On the battlefield, even after Lin Qi took down the two Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes, the crews of two convoys, surrounded by a massive number of Golden-Winged Snakes and three rampaging Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes, suffered significant casualties.

However, now that Lin Qi, a suspected Bone Forging Realm expert, was present, the crews were no longer in chaos but rather dealing seriously with the Golden-Winged Snakes.

Until, in the distance, a hundred-meter-long black warplane flew into a small valley. It fired something at the valley, enveloping it in a massive thunderous fire. Once it dissipated, the entire valley was gouged out as if by a gigantic spoon, leaving no stones or trees, only a deep crater hundreds of meters deep.

Amidst the collective confusion, a thunderous roar erupted from the cratered valley, causing the surrounding Golden-Winged Snakes to scatter and abandon the convoy's siege.

"These Golden-Winged Snakes, are they just fleeing?"

The crowd, watching hundreds of Golden-Winged Snakes escape, breathed a sigh of relief but were filled with curiosity about what had just happened.

As the crowd discussed, a tall black figure jumped down from the passing black warplane, landing in front of them.

Everyone was stunned when this black figure landed.

For the fallen was none other than their convoy leader, Bailuo, who looked disheveled, with multiple bleeding injuries, a twisted arm, and his Tier Two Battle Armor, made from some monster material surpassing B6-level alloy, severely damaged.

Bailuo, a genius Bone Forger Realm martial artist from this year's graduating class at the Genius Training Camp, was incomparable to ordinary Bone Forgers. It was hard to imagine what could injure such a talented martial artist to this extent.

Previously, even facing Lord-level monsters, Bailuo had no trouble handling them, yet now he was seriously injured.

"That High-level Lord has been injured and retreated; it shouldn't show up around here shortly. Rest for an hour, then follow me back to the city." Bailuo, unbothered by the stares, calmly issued orders.

Though Bailuo spoke calmly, the news caused an uproar among the crowd.

A High-level Lord!

This term had not appeared in Chasing Light City for thirty years.

People categorized monsters from initial, middle to high tier, paralleling initial-tier, middle-tier, high-tier martial artists.

Above high-tier monsters were Lord-level monsters, corresponding to Bone Forging Realm martial artists. These Lords were further classified into Junior, Intermediate, and High-level Lords.

Over ninety percent of large towns destroyed by monster tides were due to Intermediate Lords, while High-level Lords could threaten cities.

The convoy, less than three hundred kilometers from Chasing Light City, found a High-level Lord lurking nearby, a monumental issue for all powers residing in the city.

When Bailuo started to rest in the armored transport, he noticed five fallen Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes, with a hint of surprise in his gaze.

"Five Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes? Who killed these snakes?" Bailuo asked the surviving members of the City Defense Corps.

Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes, as high-tier monsters, ranked among the strongest. Even with high-tier martial artists aplenty in the City Defense Corps, taking down one was hard, let alone five.

The City Defense Corps not being wiped out by five snakes was a feat in itself.

"Deputy Commander, those Single-Horned Golden-Winged Snakes were killed by that Hall Master Lin Qi from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall." Morton, still alive, pointed respectfully at Lin Qi, who was collecting materials nearby.

"Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall? Is that the one declared war upon by the city's four major outskirts forces?" Bailuo curiously asked.

"Yes, it's that Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall." Morton nodded.
