193: Basic Body Refining Technique, When it Rains, It Rains

Weapons are different from divine abilities and cultivation techniques. Even without spiritual energy, not knowing how to cultivate, and being unable to unleash their full power, they can still cause considerable damage to most existing monsters.

Under the Gods Eye, Chen Ming could see things that ordinary people couldn't.

For example, on Li Yaoshi's body, there was a faint layer of pale bluish-white light, like smoke.

Chen Ming had seen this misty light on Qin Hongyue before.

However, compared to Qin Hongyue's vast, sea-like spiritual energy, Li Yaoshi's bit of spiritual energy couldn't even be called a strand of hair.

From this, Chen Ming guessed, "It seems that besides this sword, he also managed to fish up other rewards related to the Fantasy Continent."

Driven by curiosity, Chen Ming continued to peek with one eye using the Gods Eye perspective, while opening the other eye, picking up his phone, entering the browser, and searching for information about Li Yaoshi.

The first search result displayed was that the Star Alliance had publicly commended Li Yaoshi's heroic deed.

He gratuitously donated a body cultivation technique he had fished up to the Star Alliance, to be used for developing body cultivation techniques suitable for the people of Great Xia.

This body cultivation technique, within the system of cultivation techniques, was the lowest level, something only children who had just gained sentience in Qin Hongyue's world would cultivate, the foundation of foundations.

Nevertheless, the exposure of this body cultivation technique could bring a qualitative improvement to all citizens of Great Xia!

What Great Xia needed now was to lay a good foundation.

Just as back then, everyone chose infrastructure.

Only by laying a good foundation can one continuously learn and accumulate achievements.

Chen Ming was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of cultivation system those top research institutes could create, with the body cultivation technique as the core.

As the person who fished out the body cultivation technique, Li Yaoshi could grasp it faster than others. How to lower the threshold so that everyone could master it was a difficult problem they couldn't avoid and had to consider.

Bang!

Meanwhile, Li Yaoshi had already started fighting with the Ratman Soldiers.

Whether it was the sword blade slashing or the Ratman's claws extending, there was no technique, just brute force in the swings.

One word to describe it: Fast!

Extremely fast!

If bystanders weren't careful, they could easily lose sight of the action and miss a lot.

The sword blade and the Ratman claws collided fiercely, sparks flying everywhere, becoming even more noticeable under the night sky like this.

Sparks the size of rice grains were fleeting.

Thankfully, it was a sword blade fished from a fantasy world. If it were an ordinary unenhanced blade, it would probably be chipped and full of nicks by now.

In a more serious case, the blade would snap directly.

If a swordsman lost his sword, his fate would not be hard to predict.

"So strong! Both of them are so strong!"

"Don't get happy too soon, this isn't good news."

"This isn't good news?"

"Of course not! Don't forget, the Captain is the strongest among us. Even he can only fight that Ratman to a standstill, a fifty-fifty split. Do you think we can handle the remaining dozens?"

...

As soon as these words were spoken, the people whose faces were originally beaming with smiles silently lowered the corners of their lips, replaced by a look of worry.

Thinking he made a lot of sense, they were unable to refute him.

"These guys are indeed deliberately toying with us! They want to force us to our deaths bit by bit!"

"Did we encounter this situation right at the start? As expected of an S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon."

"It's not really the start. After all, some time has passed since the Secret Realm Dungeon opened before we arrived."

"Are we just going to wait for death like this?"

"Damn it! Let's go all out and gamble our lives with them! Even if we die, at least let's die like Men! Fight for a breath, leave a name behind!"

...

Listening to the discussions coming from behind him, and then looking at the Ratman Soldier in front of him, who was still fighting with ease after several rounds against him.

Hoo... Ha...

Li Yaoshi's breathing was slightly rapid, and he felt immense pressure internally.

His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a perfect solution as quickly as possible.

Even if he really couldn't win, he at least had to find a way to let more people survive!

They came here to give people hope, not to deepen their despair.

Li Yaoshi couldn't help but feel indebted to them.

'Think of a way! Must quickly figure out how to break through and break the deadlock!'

'Do these guys not have weaknesses?'

'Impossible! Every creature has weaknesses, I just haven't found them yet.'

'Where is it, where exactly is it? Where!!'

...

Anxious, Li Yaoshi was truly anxious.

He had never been this anxious.

The sweat beads rolling down his face, it was impossible to tell if they were from fear, heat, or anxiety.

Boom!

The sound of wind slapped his face, as the Ratman Soldier charged forward.

Li Yaoshi quickly came back to his senses. Thankfully, his reaction speed was fast enough, and his movements weren't slow. He held the sword blade horizontally in front of him with one hand, while using the palm of his other hand to firmly press against the blade, acting as a shield, trapping the Ratman Soldier's returning claw.

'What great strength!'

Li Yaoshi was forced back step by step. In terms of brute force, he simply couldn't contend with the Ratman Soldiers.

Seeing the Ratman Soldier bring down its other thick arm, raised high.

"Gulp!" Li Yaoshi swallowed, unsure if he could block it.

Bang! Boom...

The result was that Li Yaoshi was knocked back seven or eight meters, then stumbled back another three or four steps.

"Captain!" Fortunately, someone quick-witted reached out from behind and grabbed his shoulders.

It took some effort to help him stabilize his body with difficulty.

'What astonishing strength!'

The residual power from the Ratman Soldier's claw strike traveled up his arms. The Man frowned tightly, a look of difficulty on his face.

"Are you alright?" Li Yaoshi asked.

"I'm fine." The Man's expression was slightly forced, and the arm hidden behind his back was trembling slightly.

Li Yaoshi couldn't see it, but the people behind the Man could see it clearly.

...

The feeling of unease in their hearts increased by a few points.

Each one didn't want to remain silent, but rather didn't know what else they could say now that things had developed to this point.

What else could be said?

Cheer him on?

"It looks like we can only sacrifice a small portion of people to buy time for the majority to escape. Those who are willing to stay can volunteer, I won't force anyone." Li Yaoshi didn't want to make this choice.

But after genuinely clashing with the Ratman Soldiers, it made him realize he had no other choice.

Besides this, he really couldn't think of any other better solution.

His mind was blank.

"I'm willing to stay!"

"I'll stay too!"

"Damn it, let's fight him! Killing one is a huge profit, killing two isn't a loss!"

Less than a third of the people stayed.

Li Yaoshi didn't say much more, he instructed those who chose to leave, "Protect them well."

...

Everyone.

Turning around, he once again aimed and locked onto the Ratman Soldiers with the sword blade in his hand.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted, "Run!"

However, troubles never come singly. Footsteps like heavenly thunder rumbled into their ears from the distance.

Approaching rapidly!
