Chapter 157 Cultivation of Core Combat Power

Two days later, five Imperial Apartment Buildings were completed, and all 150 units were snapped up.

There is no other way, because all the veterans' families have to move here, so at least three more Imperial Apartment Buildings have to be built to accommodate them.

And if the children of criminals are to be included, we need at least ten buildings.

Unfortunately, there are no longer enough materials in the small town.

A lot of damage had been done to the city by evil spirits before, and a lot of barracks had been demolished in order to build the city walls. Now this wave has basically demolished all the remaining barracks.

So it looks particularly empty.

Only the emerald red building on the central roundabout was left standing alone.

"Brother, another frontline chariot applying for the Demon Heart Test is coming. Can your light still be on?"

Xiao Chengyun stood on the city wall and shouted, her hair was disheveled and she looked very messy, like a construction worker who often hung out on construction sites, but she was fearless and didn't care because she was used to it.

"Of course I can. After all, we are from a declining immortal cultivation family. We can definitely do it."

Zhao Guanshan replied loudly, turned around and jumped onto the city wall, walking towards the west wall side by side with Xiao Chengyun, like a pair of beggars, but not lazy.

"Come on, if your ancestor is still alive, he would be pissed off by you! You treat a family treasure that can release a fifth-level dispelling magical power like a beast of burden like this. I can't bear to see it."

Xiao Chengyun couldn't help but sigh that she really couldn't see through Zhao Guanshan, he was really working too hard.

In the past two days, while they were extremely busy, they still found time to carry out a wave of dispersal irradiation for a total of 162 veterans and recruits.

So it is good news that, although the total strength of their pioneering city is only 240 people, the total number of warriors with single seal and above has exceeded 120 in one go!

As for the remaining ones who failed to break through, since the side effects of the Demon-Sealing Potion have been dispelled, theoretically, as long as they do not take the Demon-Sealing Potion for a period of time in the future, there is a great chance that they will be able to advance.

What about more than 200 screaming warriors?

Xiao Chengyun didn't dare to imagine it.

Anyway, Zhao Guanshan is working so hard that Xiao Chengyun feels embarrassed to be lazy.

"Oh, right, I have already engraved all thirty Xin-level spiritual arrays, leaving four for modifying the third Imperial Seal Chariot, and the rest can be used to modify twenty-four spiritual weapons. I have agreed in advance that I want four. I want to assemble four spiritual swords. I may not be a cultivator in this life, but I can be a swordsman."

"Four is too much, what a waste. You have four hands, but I can only give you two. You don't need to give Liu Yuwei one. You can give Wang Chen two, Yu Che two, and with you, the three of you can be the main attackers of the three teams."

"Then there's Deng Jiu. He has a Qianjin Seal engraved on him, and his best weapon is actually a psychic heavy shield. It's quite awkward. Can you make some adjustments for him? Among us, Deng Jiu's overall combat power and overall potential can be ranked fifth."

Zhao Guanshan said quickly that this was the only time the two of them could spare some time to discuss the team's professional pairings and so on.

"Fifth place? Where did you come to this conclusion? Do you have any concrete evidence?" Xiao Chengyun didn't believe it, mainly because she did not participate in this combat power ranking list.

So Zhao Guanshan took out a piece of paper without saying a word, on which he had recorded in detail in the form of a table the ranking and potential of the top 20 people in their team.

Xiao Chengyun was ranked first.

"What do these four black things mean?"

"Four stars means that the overall combat power data is 87 out of 100, and the potential data is 92 out of 100. The reference standard is the seventh-level evil demon. How is it? Isn't it very clear and easy to understand?"

“Whether it’s clear or not, whether it’s clear or not, it doesn’t matter.”

"It's important that they know this ranking!"

After taking a few glances, Xiao Chengyun suddenly drew out his sword and jumped down from the city wall. In the short moment before landing, the sword in his hand was already dancing with sword energy and gravel flying everywhere.

When she landed and sheathed her sword, twenty names had already been engraved on the five-meter-high city wall.

There are three big words "Battle Power List" engraved next to it.

Xiao Chengyun is still ranked first, followed by Liu Yuwei, and third is Wang Chen who recently succeeded in enlightenment.

Ranked fourth is Mo Laoer, followed by Deng Jiu, Yu Che, Sun Zei, Zhang Qian, Mu Mingyuan, and Zhao Guanshan ranked tenth.

This was the arrangement he made for himself. Not taking into account the bonus from being a Qi Refiner, his true strength was just this.

In short, once this list is released, it will definitely stimulate everyone.

"Okay, let's get back to the previous topic. Since you think Deng Jiu has a high overall growth potential, why do you put Mo Laoer ahead of him? I think Mo Laoer's overall strength is a bit overestimated." "Because Mo Laoer is stable, he can perform stably at any time. If there is a high-perception main attacker in the team who can effectively guide Mo Laoer, then his attack will be very impressive."

"Let me put it this way. I think that although Mo Lao Er's overall strength and growth potential are both average, he is too stable. We can use him as the core of the battle and formulate a set of relevant techniques and tactics with him. It is not an exaggeration to say that Mo Lao Er is fully capable of becoming an eighth-level demon killer!"

"Really?"

Xiao Chengyun was stunned for a moment. She really didn’t understand much.

"Okay, I'll leave Mo Lao Er to you and Senior Sister Yu Wei to tailor-make for him. But Deng Jiu is too biased. He clearly has his natal Qianjin seal engraved on him, but he insists on choosing a heavy shield as his main weapon. He even says that he has spent 18 years on the heavy shield. I feel like cursing him! If he could choose a broadsword or a longsword as his main weapon, I would give him a Broken Gold Rune, which would at least double his combat power."

Xiao Chengyun said helplessly that she had worked hard for this group of martial artists.

Zhao Guanshan helped to dispel the radiation and upgrade it, she helped to engrave the Xin-level spirit-supplying formation, and finally she gave each of the main attackers in the team a broken gold rune, without charging a penny. This is what a real mother should be like.

"It's definitely not possible to ask Deng Jiu to practice the broadsword now. Zhang Qian uses the broadsword, and with his natal Xuanwu seal, he can be a substitute main attacker. Well, let me think of a solution later."

Zhao Guanshan pondered and said, he and Xiao Chengyun both talked to Deng Jiu, Deng Jiu was also helpless, he mastered the heavy shield very well, after all, it was eighteen years of hard work, but it was not a match. His natal Qianjin Seal was suitable for attack, and the heavy shield was good for defense, what a joke!

However, his visualization world still retains the experience of using the heavy shield left by Wei Tieniu. Although it is good that he has understood it himself, his energy is ultimately limited.

Now he has to be an industrial mother machine and be the captain of Liu Yuwei, Xiao Chengyun and the others. The main weapons have been confirmed to be longsword and broadsword. Especially if he lights up the explosive rune next, it will be a very violent DPS. It is not appropriate to ask him to take the shield at this time.

Just like Liu Yuwei, she is actually quite good at using the heavy shield, broadsword, and longsword, but in order for the team to inflict better damage and to better cooperate with teammates, Zhao Guanshan forced her to choose the psychic longbow.

Not to mention Xiao Chengyun, the Qianjin Daofu is an unstoppable and super violent DPS.

Therefore, if we do not consider Deng Jiu's growth potential in the distant future, in order to immediately gain a stronger team position and be a brick in the team, then we should focus on making him a heavy shield.

Even without the blessing of the natal Genshan Seal, one can still perform well through the accumulation of skills and the improvement of mastery level.

Zhao Guanshan was thinking when he suddenly heard the sound of sword energy flying through the air.

Outside the city, streaks of sword energy flew past at a high speed, gathered into a perfect parabola in mid-air, and instantly turned into sword meteors. With a bang, the sword energy became violent, and the energy gale it brought crashed into the psychic vortex force field and quickly disappeared without a trace.

This is Wang Chen, Yu Che, Zhang Dayong and twenty selected veterans, practicing the powerful move of turning sword energy into meteors.

Since the first-level spirit supply tower was built, the consumption of energy storage spirit stones was no longer a consideration, so training must keep up.

Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun can work without sleeping for two days and two nights, so why can't you train for twelve hours every day?

Take a break when you are tired, and continue when you are not tired.

What's more, this method of standing outside the city and attacking the psychic vortex force field does not actually consume much psychic energy, because most of it is recycled.

Psychic vortex, that’s how awesome it is.

Wang Chen, Yu Che and their group use the long sword as their main weapon. In the future, they will try their best to use only the long sword, and they only need to have a rough grasp of other weapons.

The natal seals they engraved were mainly the natal Lihuo Seal, the natal Qianjin Seal and the natal Xuanwu Seal, which were most suitable for use with long sword weapons.

After this section, the next training square is a spear square consisting of one hundred recruits.

The new recruits here are very plain and simple, without any fancy moves. They just practice one thing, the spear piercing, which they have practiced countless times in the martial arts department of the Taoist Academy.

There is no need to be perfunctory. Whoever can draw his spear quickly within one second and pierce the nine Taoist coins thrown by Zhang Qian, which will scatter within a three-meter radius, will pass the test. There is no need to practice spear piercing anymore and can go directly to the next item.

At first, these new recruits were quite unconvinced.

As a result, Yang Mao, who performed the best, could only hit six small coins.

They were arguing and trying to cheat, and wanted Zhao Guanshan to do them justice. However, an old spearman who was once at the bottom of the first team and was also a martial arts apprentice, made a random move and fired his gun in one second, and was able to hit the thirteen Taoist coins thrown by Zhang Qian.

All the recruits were stunned instantly.

But this was nothing. The logistics manager Sun Zei, who was watching the fun nearby, stepped forward and asked three people to throw thirty coins each from three directions. As a result, not a single coin made it to the ground.

Is it true that the spear-dancing prince got his title in vain?
Since then, the one hundred recruits have trained very hard.

As for the remaining recruits, most of them decided to switch from military to liberal arts and follow the poor Mr. Hu to learn assembly and maintenance.

Well, ever since the four special envoys came that day, this old guy has finally become completely honest and down-to-earth.
