High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

In fact, Baal was not entirely unaware that his five thousand soldiers left in the valley would be ambushed.

But his thinking was simple. He knew that the enemy had less than two thousand soldiers. Even if it was possible to win against five thousand soldiers with a weaker force, it would still take a lot of time.

It would take at least a day and a night to finish!

But if his five thousand soldiers are quickly annihilated, then there is only one possibility: the enemy's main force is coming!

However, in doing so, Baal's mission was accomplished; he had successfully scouted out the enemy's main force.

In other words, Baal was restrained by Wu Yuqing partly because he did it on purpose; those five thousand people were actually bait he left behind.

Regardless of the outcome, he had accomplished his mission of reconnoitering the enemy's main force.

Baal was completely stunned. He had just made the judgment that the enemy's main force had not come, and now, in less than half an hour, all five thousand of his men had been wiped out!

Baal's expression turned to one of disbelief and uncertainty. He simply couldn't believe that these people could annihilate his five thousand men in just half an hour.

Even if there were 5,000 pigs, it would take more than half an hour to catch them all!

Seeing this, Li Mo sneered: "Baal, do you want to guess whether our main force has arrived yet?"

In fact, Baal carried a radio with him, which was unaffected by electromagnetic pulses and signal shielding, and he could report the situation on the scene to Morpheus whenever he wanted.

But now he is hesitant and doesn't know how to report it.

Faced with this situation, there was only one solution that Barr could think of.

He looked directly at Li Mo and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Wouldn't it be enough for me to capture and interrogate you, the commander?"

Despite being surrounded by thousands of people, Baal remained as arrogant as ever.

In reality, it would take him a lot of time to even win over Wu Yuqing.

Theoretically speaking, he can only obediently wait to die now, but Li Mo has a bad feeling that this guy probably still has a trump card!

Just as Li Mo had predicted, the next moment Baal suddenly slapped his own heart with a palm!

Everyone was startled.

"What is he doing? Is he trying to commit suicide?"

"No way? He just threatened to arrest our Battalion Commander Li, and now he's committed suicide?"

Li Mo frowned and immediately ordered the entire army, "Stay away from him! Don't get too close!"

Baal's current behavior reminded Li Mo of Ouyang Xun, whom he had met in the Sumeru Secret Realm.

In his final moments, Ouyang Xun plunged a knife into his own heart. Li Mo thought he was going to commit suicide, but he never expected that he was using his body to nurture the Dark Void, which resulted in the Dark Void being born.

A man like Baal would rather fight to the last moment than commit suicide, so Li Mo suspected that he was going to use some kind of forbidden technique.

Forbidden techniques refer to a type of technique that has powerful side effects.

Self-harm is the most common characteristic of forbidden techniques. The most prominent feature of this type of technique is that it consumes a person's life force, but in return, it brings a short-lived terrifying power.

Because the side effects of forbidden techniques were too great, the Great Xia Dynasty had already completely banned all martial artists from practicing forbidden techniques a hundred years ago.

Nowadays, there are almost no forbidden martial arts techniques left on the market, except in the black market.

But the Black Soil Tribe is different. They not only allow all citizens to practice forbidden techniques, but also encourage everyone to use them.

Even the military regulations of the Black Soil Tribe reward those who use forbidden techniques; all soldiers who kill or injure enemies after using forbidden techniques can receive commendations from the unit.

If someone dies in battle as a result, they can receive a large sum of compensation.

Therefore, in the battles between the Great Xia and the Black Earth Tribe, it was common to see Black Earth Tribe soldiers using forbidden techniques to perish together at the last moment.

The Black Earth Tribe and the White European Empire are like two extremes: one is extremely afraid of death, while the other is afraid of not dying, and they are complete madmen.

Of course, this is also related to the poverty of the Black Soil Tribe.

Apart from the descendants of the Martial God family and high-ranking political figures, almost everyone in the Black Soil Tribe lived a life of poverty.

They would fight each other and even lose their lives for a little bit of cultivation resources. The martial arts university of the Black Soil Tribe was only accessible to the upper class.

Although the martial arts academy in the Great Xia Dynasty was also clearly class-based, it at least gave opportunities to those at the bottom. The Black Soil Tribe, on the other hand, had no such opportunities at all!

The army is the only path to advancement for the people of the Black Soil tribe.

Baal came from a humble background and was a notorious thug in his youth. He was always risking his life for military merit, and he can be said to be the most representative of all the people from the Black Earth tribes who came from humble backgrounds.

Suddenly, Baal's pupils turned pitch black, and his already bulging muscles swelled even more, making his aura incredibly powerful. Li Mo could feel that his basic attributes had at least doubled!

It should be noted that the basic attributes of the Black Soil Tribe people are already quite high. The strength and speed of Baal at the Three Harmony Realm are at least 500,000 or more. If they were to double again, wouldn't that reach the million level?

Suddenly, Baal pointed a finger at Li Mo: "Leave no one alive except you!"

Immediately afterwards, Baal raised one foot and stomped heavily on the ground. The ground around him instantly began to crack and split apart. A single shockwave sent the vanguard soldiers flying all over the place.

If Li Mo hadn't warned everyone to stay away beforehand, there would probably have been casualties by now.

If Baal had unleashed such power from the start, Wu Yuqing would likely have been no match for him.

Wu Yuqing used the same trick again, unleashing her Body-Piercing Sword Qi at Baal. However, Baal was now covered in a black aura, and Wu Yuqing's sword qi could not penetrate it, so she could no longer harm Baal.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yuqing's expression changed. She felt very familiar with Baal at this moment.

She said coldly, "Li Mo, he seems to possess the power of a dark beast!"

"What?"

Li Mo was startled.

It should be noted that Dark Beasts are a very special type of beast cultivated by the Beastmaster lineage using the Dark Ruins. Physical attacks have almost no effect on them; only the divine soul can have some influence on them.

According to previous records, the Beastmaster lineage cultivated Dark Beasts based on experiments with many different animals.

But don't forget, humans are animals too!

Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is not impossible to cultivate someone with the power of Dark Void!

The reason why Commander Yue wanted to eradicate the entire lineage of Beast Masters was not only because they used the Dark Ruins, a dangerous and world-destroying creature, but also because they had the potential to conduct human experiments.

But this power is not something that humans can control.

The Dark Ruins is something that destroys all matter, bringing everything from existence to nothingness. If a person becomes tainted by this power, even the best outcome will be turning them into a murderous maniac!
