Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

Based on all the knowledge he had learned at the Wuhan University of Science and Technology Affiliated High School, Jiangcheng, as a city located deep inland, far from the coastline and rift zones where star beasts roam, should not have such creatures at all.

"They've come with ill intentions." Lin Yue gripped his longsword tightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Roar!!!" The star beast let out a ferocious roar, its bloodlust growing stronger in its eyes.

After absorbing the few remaining drops of Qi and Blood potion on the ground, the star beast's aura grew even stronger.

"As expected of mindless beasts, they even snatch and devour the life-giving potions of their own kind. If left unchecked, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Before Lin Yue could think further, the star beast charged at him like a madman, its gaping maw like dark clouds obscuring the sun, engulfing Lin Yue's figure.

This time, Lin Yue did not raise his sword to block. Instead, he used a strange movement to teleport to the side of the star beast and avoid its attack.

"Wave-Treading Steps".

The star beast's momentum hadn't stopped, its right side completely exposed in front of him, and he seized this excellent angle. He took a deep breath and suddenly exerted force with his arm.

All the energy in his body instantly gathered in his right arm, and he steadily exerted force with his hand holding the Mo Dao.

"drink!"

A deep shout echoed through the forest, and the Mo Dao, carrying a sharp gust of wind, sliced ​​through the air and slashed fiercely at the Star Beast's right arm.

The blow was powerful and heavy, accompanied by the sound of flesh being sliced ​​through.

With a "sizzle," the blade severed the scales on the star beast's right arm, the sharp edge embedding itself deeply into its flesh.

"Roar!" The intense pain caused the low-level star beast to let out a mournful roar, and its massive body shuddered violently.

After a frenzied roar, an even more manic aura emanated from the star beast's crimson eyes.

"Uh...uh..."

Before anyone could think, a purple light wave suddenly burst forth from the star beast's head, spreading out in a star-ring shape at an astonishing speed.

Lin Yue instinctively tried to dodge, but the range of the light wave was too wide, and he was ultimately a step too slow and was hit solidly by the light wave.

"Oh no!" Lin Yue staggered back two steps, clutching his throbbing head with one hand, and cried out in a low voice.

At this moment, he felt dizzy and his vision blurred, and the ferocious appearance of the star beast kept appearing in his mind.

"It seems to be a mental attack after all." Lin Yue thought to himself that something was wrong, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

In addition to physical attacks, some low-level star beasts can also master simple mental attacks. These attacks do not cause physical harm, but they can directly impact a martial artist's will.

A martial artist with weak willpower would most likely have their will collapse upon encountering this move, becoming prey for the star beast.

"As long as I don't think about the star beasts that are attacking me, and I concentrate on guarding my true self, my willpower will be much stronger," Lin Yue told himself.

"I didn't expect to encounter this situation in my first real battle." Lin Yue gritted his teeth, forcing his throbbing head to clear his mind and try to remove the image of the star beast from his mind.

However, this was his first time facing a mental attack, and his methods were still very clumsy. The more he tried not to think about it, the clearer the image of the star beast became.

In his mind, the image of the star beast grew larger and more distorted at an uncontrollable speed, its huge mouth slightly open, as if it wanted to completely devour Lin Yue's consciousness.

Lin Yue's consciousness gradually blurred, and all he could hear was the ferocious roar of the star beast. His willpower was on the verge of collapse.

"Uh...uh..."

The beastly shadow began to twist and contort, its enormous maw about to engulf Lin Yue entirely.

Just as Lin Yue's will was on the verge of collapse, a dazzling light suddenly pierced through the dark figure and shattered his glasses.

"Sunrise!"

Stimulated by the sun, Lin Yue's consciousness was fully restored.

"They arrived just in time!" Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sharpening again.

"Take this!" Lin Yue shouted spiritedly, holding his broadsword horizontally in front of him.

After the mental attack was interrupted by the Sun's Radiance, the Star Beast itself suffered a significant backlash, and its aura was now much weaker than before.

"Opportunity knocks but once."

Lin Yue took a step and rushed towards the star beast like lightning.

With a sudden burst of strength from his arms and spine, he channeled all his power into the blade and slashed fiercely at the star beast's neck.

"Pfft." The beast's blood gushed out like a jet of water.

The beast head rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop, eroding a large area of ​​grass around it into a charred black.

Having lost its head, the star beast quickly died, its body swaying before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"Is it dead?" Lin Yue stood there, looking at the fallen body of the star beast in front of him, and murmured softly.

He looked down at the longsword in his hand, frowned, and sighed, "What a pity for this sword of mine."

At this moment, the Mo Dao had already been corroded beyond recognition by the highly corrosive blood of the Star Beast, its blade twisted and deformed, and covered with tiny nicks.

The once sharp blade had become dull and worn, only the hilt remained intact, revealing its original appearance.

"This knife is ruined." Lin Yue shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Fortunately, these alloy weapons aren't too expensive; you can buy one for 6000 Blue Star Coins at a regular weapon shop," Lin Yue roughly calculated.

Just then, Lin Yue heard the sound of circling wings overhead, and he looked up.

"Bronze fighter jet?"

This is a fighter jet with a copper-green body, but it is not made of copper, but of a special alloy.

"Jiangcheng Wuhan University." Four eye-catching characters were written on the fuselage.

"It seems to be investigators from Wuhan University."

When the fighter jet was still a short distance from the ground, the hatch opened, and two young men in black special forces uniforms jumped out with agility.

One of the tall boys looked around, his brows furrowing slightly, and said:

"So it's already been resolved? Just 10 minutes ago, the monitoring equipment showed that there was a low-level star beast surviving here."

As soon as they finished speaking, they noticed the enormous body of the star beast on the grass, and Lin Yue standing next to it.

"So this is where it was."

The boy strode forward, his gaze falling on the star beast's neck, observing the clean cut, then glancing at Lin Yue with a hint of curiosity in his eyes:

"You did all of this by yourself?"

He found it hard to believe that this boy, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old and resembled a student, could actually kill a low-level star beast all by himself.

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded.

Faced with these officers on duty, Lin Yue had nothing to hide, especially since the surrounding area was heavily monitored and there was no way to conceal it.

"Hmm, look at this." The girl who came down with her handed over an electronic screen.

The scene clearly showed Lin Yue fighting the star beast.

"interesting."

The boy looked at the screen, a hint of approval on his face, and then held out his hand:

"My name is Lu Chuan, and I am a patrol officer from the Wuhan University Patrol Section in Jiangcheng."

"Jiangcheng Martial Arts Affiliated Middle School, Lin Yue." Lin Yue extended his hand and gently shook hands with Lu Chuan.

"High school student?" Lu Chuan's surprise deepened.

The girl next to her couldn't help but speak up, her tone tinged with surprise:

"Oh? He's a junior? I didn't expect Wuke High School to have such a talented junior."

"Lin Yue, you should know what the appearance of the Star Beast in Jiangcheng means, right?" Lu Chuan looked at Lin Yue with a solemn expression.

"This is very likely an abnormal signal from an interstellar rift, and we will conduct further investigations."

"So now we need to secure the site and then retrieve the body of this star beast."

At this point, he pointed to the recorder on his chest and added with a smile:

"But don't worry, according to the rules, the reward for killing a low-level star beast is 100 million Blue Star Coins. We won't take your credit; it will be directly deposited into your account."

"I understand." Lin Yue nodded.

He was worried about where to collect the money for slaying star beasts.

"My bank card number is xxx.......2858," Lin Yue said, giving his bank card number.

"You little brother, you're really straightforward, no beating around the bush at all, that's funny." Liu Ziyi couldn't help but laugh, and extended her hand to shake hands with Lin Yue.

"My name is Liu Ziyi, and I'm also from the patrol department of Wuhan University in Jiangcheng. Maybe we'll meet again if I have the chance to go to Wuhan University in the future."
