Chapter 592: Chapter 534: An Unprecedented Disaster Beast Tide

Martial Arts Calendar, Year 2048, November 24th

North River Province, Black Dragon Base. The cold was bitter.

WHOO—WHOO—!!

At nine in the morning, piercing alarms suddenly shattered the quiet of Black Dragon Base, startling the countless Martial Artists within.

At the same time, the House of War began issuing emergency alerts.

Everyone knew—the Disaster Beast Tide had arrived!

"The Disaster Beast Tide is here!"

"It’s a Super Large Disaster Beast Tide this time!"

"Perfect! I’m going to hunt down some extra Calamity Beasts today, earn enough Merit Points for an Awakening Potion, and finally get Awakened!"

The entire Black Dragon Base instantly sprang into action. All Martial Artists donned their Combat Suits, grabbed their weapons, and headed for the main gate.

Room 206, in the Martial Arts Room.

BEEP! BEEP!!

As the urgent alarm blared, Lin Qi, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of his Cultivation, snapped his eyes open.

BOOM!!

A powerful wave of Energy erupted from his body—sharp, fierce, and domineering.

[You have completed one Cultivation session. Physical strength has increased. Qi and Blood Value +100]

[Qi and Blood Value: 8,750 → 8,850]

...

Lin Qi briefly glanced at his status panel, then looked at his phone.

"Master, an emergency alert from the House of War!"

"A Super Large Disaster Beast Tide has erupted at Black Dragon Base. All Martial Artists are to report to the main gate and prepare to engage."

the projected figure of Little Chan announced.

Lin Qi exhaled. ’So the Disaster Beast Tide really has started.’

「Five minutes later.」

The door to Room 206 opened, and Lin Qi emerged, clad in a brand-new suit of Black Gold Armor. He carried his Black Gold Spear, the cold wind biting at his face.

As he walked down the street, automated robots were still busy clearing the accumulated snow.

Throngs of tall, powerfully built Martial Artists filled the base’s roads.

Snow fell from the sky, and the sub-zero temperatures turned everyone’s breath into white plumes.

"Junior Brother!"

"Eldest Brother!"

Lin Qi spotted his Eldest Brother, Liang Tai, and they greeted each other. After becoming Awakened, Liang Tai’s presence felt even more solid and profound.

Soon, the rest of the Split Rock Squad had assembled, and they headed toward the main gate together.

Amidst the crowd, Lin Qi could sense that there were noticeably more Martial Artists around than before.

He thought of the Awakening Potion. ’The existence of that Potion is what convinced so many more of Xia Country’s Martial Artists to come to the front lines.’

"I’m going to hunt even more Calamity Beasts this time!"

"I came to this battlefield for the Awakening Potion! You can only buy that Potion with Merit Points!"

"I’m a Sixth Realm Martial Artist. Just a few more months and I’ll have enough to buy an Awakening Potion!"

"Once I’m Awakened, I can become a High Realm Martial Artist in the future. I’ll earn more money, and my status will be completely different."

Many in the crowd were brimming with anticipation for the Disaster Beast Tide.

They all shared the dream of becoming Awakened.

Of the hundreds of thousands of Martial Artists in the entire Black Dragon Base, over 99% were still Unawakened.

To become Awakened was to ascend to a new level entirely. Their potential would skyrocket, with the Seventh Realm being the bare minimum they could achieve.

Anywhere on Blue Star, a Seventh Realm Martial Artist was a figure of high status.

Treading through the white snow, many of them soon arrived at the main gate.

Upon entering the gateway, the atmosphere grew even colder, thick with a grim, slaughterous intent.

WHOO—WHOO—!!

The piercing wail of the alarms continued to echo through the air.

"Lin Qi!"

Lin Qi soon spotted Shen Heng, Pei Yiqing, Xu Qin, Dean Liu, his teacher Mu Hong, and Pei Hongfeng. He even saw Meng Wu.

There was bad blood between them, and they had barely ever spoken. So, seeing him again, Lin Qi didn’t offer a greeting, turning instead to chat with Dean Liu.

When Meng Wu saw Lin Qi, his brow furrowed. He felt a complicated mix of emotions: admiration, regret, and unease...

The more Lin Qi’s incredible Talent became apparent, the more Meng Wu was consumed by regret.

But what was done was done.

All he could do now was keep his distance and pretend they were strangers.

...

Lin Qi gazed out at the world before him. It had been completely transformed into a realm of ice and snow.

The vast, scorched earth and the dilapidated fortifications were all buried under a layer of snow that was at least a meter thick.

VRRMMMM!!

Dozens of massive plows rumbled to life, beginning to clear away the accumulated snow.

But Lin Qi’s gaze was fixed on the horizon, on the enormous Space Gate.

The space around it was distorting, sending out wave-like ripples.

The effect was far more pronounced than anything he had seen in the last three months, and a sudden sense of foreboding washed over Lin Qi.

"This is..."

Beside him, Dean Liu’s expression turned grim as he began to explain.

"Lin Qi, prepare yourself for a bitter fight!"

"The spatial ripples are much wider than usual!"

"There’s only one explanation: we’re dealing with more than one Space Gate!"

"It’s highly likely that three Space Gates are about to appear!"

Shen Heng, who had just arrived, felt a jolt of shock. ’Three Space Gates... Just how many Calamity Beasts will pour out?’

Pei Hongfeng explained,

"In the past, whenever three Space Gates appeared, it always resulted in our most difficult battles."

"They were also the ones with the highest casualties, because a Ninth-Level Calamity Beast was guaranteed to appear."

"But now, with the advent of Tenth-Level Calamity Beasts, the difficulty of such a battle will be raised to a whole new level."

Then, Pei Hongfeng looked toward the Space Gate, his expression grave.

"If there are three Space Gates, and a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast appears..."

"...this will be the largest-scale Disaster Beast Tide in the decades since this War Base was established!"

Dean Liu nodded in agreement.

"Let’s just hope a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast doesn’t show up!"

A stir went through the crowd. Many of the veterans knew exactly what was about to happen.

The atmosphere grew even more oppressive.

WHOOSH!!

Countless black fighter jets streaked over the Martial Artists’ heads, followed by swarms of metallic spheres.

Overhead, the base’s heavy weapon emplacements locked onto their targets; Laser Cannons, Fire God Cannons, and Plasma Cannons all swiveled to aim at the gate.

The war could erupt at any moment.
