"They're here!"
"The numbers are dense, the scale should be considerable."
Chu Yunfei sighed as he lowered his binoculars.
As the regimental commander stationed here, he naturally wished for the Black Dragon Abyss to remain perpetually still.
After all, whenever a beast tide occurred, soldiers would inevitably pay with their lives.
Casualties were almost unavoidable.
This naturally made him, who treated his soldiers like his own children, quite dejected.
However, when truly facing a beast tide, he harbored no fear.
At this moment, Lin Ran had already detected the movement of the beast tide with his Sharingan.
Looking at the low-level ferocious beasts covering the ground, Lin Ran could only lament that the density was truly terrifying, far more so than when he was hunting within the Black Dragon Abyss.
If one were to be caught in this dense beast tide and trampled, even a natural spirit body might not withstand it...
But he certainly wouldn't be that foolish.
"All units, prepare for a volley fire!"
"Use your magic energy guns to take down the first rank of ferocious beasts and slow their charge!"
Chu Yunfei roared.
But to his surprise, someone was faster than him.
The moment Lin Ran sensed the surging ferocious beasts entering his range, he immediately activated the Gate of Babylon.
Twelve golden gates of his treasury shimmered behind him, and countless treasures poured out.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Even before the soldiers could open fire, the ferocious beasts in the front ranks were already sent flying by Lin Ran's onslaught.
Chu Yunfei almost bugged out his eyes.
Wasn't this person just a freshman from Yan Yun University? How could he possess such powerful offensive capabilities?
Furthermore, this method of summoning weapons from the void and using them to shoot was something he had never heard of!
Luo Qingyan, standing beside him, was also stunned.
How could it be that after less than twenty days, Lin Ran had gained another ability she had never seen before?
Most outrageously, this ability was completely different from the black flames, Susanoo, illusions, or spatial manipulation that Lin Ran had previously displayed!
The awakened individuals and the soldiers were also bewildered.
"My heavens, what kind of talent is this?"
"I don't know... Judging by the terrifying aura, it's at least an SSS-rank talent!"
"Are they not bothered by these glittering golden weapons being shot out like this?"
"Look, those weapons he shot out disappear! They must have a recovery ability!"
"I heard that this young man brought back the news of the beast tide, and he's just a freshman at Yan University!"
"Is Yan University so formidable now? A freshman can hold off a beast tide?"
"Damn it! Why does it feel like his single-person output firepower is even fiercer than our hundred-person magic energy gun volley?"
"Don't just feel it, it's the truth!"
"..."
After Lin Ran displayed his astonishing Gate of Babylon, the soldiers and awakened individuals were greatly inspired and began firing their long-range weapons at the beasts below.
With the solid defenses of the armed fortress, other than the ferocious beasts with ranged attacks or flight capabilities, the rest were quite manageable.
Seeing the ferocious beasts about to reach the city walls, Luo Qingyan smiled slightly and activated her innate ability, unfurling her angelic wings.
"Holy Light Meteor!"
With a wave of her hand, countless small meteors imbued with holy light appeared in the sky, raining down upon the beast horde like a downpour, exploding with crackling sounds.
Then, Luo Qingyan flapped her wings and flew into the air, spreading her hands and murmuring a prayer. A golden halo descended upon everyone.
"Hymn of Courage!"
The soldiers and awakened individuals enveloped by the halo not only felt their all attributes increase slightly, but also found their attacks imbued with divine properties.
"Wow! Is this the goddess?"
"It's a Divine Angel! An SSS-rank talent, Divine Angel!"
"I remember! There's only one person with this talent, and that's the special recruit ranked second at Yan University this year!"
"The national campus belle Luo Qingyan! My goodness! Goddess Qingyan is also in the Black Dragon Abyss!"
"Such powerful divine secret arts... capable of both large-scale enemy damage and strengthening teammates, truly terrifying."
"A six-sided SSS-rank talent, you can't mess with it..."
"If this girl is Luo Qingyan, then the handsome young man beside her must be..."
"Lin Ran, the top scorer in the college entrance examination! The legend of the college entrance examination world who single-handedly improved the record by a full ten minutes!"
"Good heavens! Yan University has truly struck gold this year..."
"..."
Witnessing the awe-inspiring display of the two, the soldiers and awakened individuals were filled with emotion.
Even the seasoned Chu Yunfei felt a surge of emotion.
Good heavens, never before had resisting a beast tide been this effortless.
Under the buff of Luo Qingyan's Hymn of Courage, their magic energy guns' power greatly increased, and the divine enchantment made the ferocious beasts suffer greatly.
The descending meteors, coupled with Lin Ran's twelve dimensional gates capable of infinite weapon deployment, were like providing them with artillery support on a massive scale.
Under this frenzied bombardment, the beast tide's offensive was completely suppressed.
Lin Ran glanced at the now divinely empowered Luo Qingyan beside him.
My, my, after just over twenty days apart, Luo Qingyan had changed significantly!
It seemed Lin Miao's specialized training for her had been very effective.
In the past, although Luo Qingyan possessed almost invincible talent, she didn't know how to use it.
A dignified Divine Angel would always be swinging a lightsaber to attack people...
Lin Ran himself found it absurd.
Now, her repertoire of skills had expanded, and she had mastered both magical attacks and state-boosting secret arts with great proficiency, making her countless times stronger than before.
"Do these skills of yours consume a lot of mana?"
Lin Ran asked, moving closer to Luo Qingyan as he fired.
Luo Qingyan smiled proudly:
"Hmph, it used to consume a lot of mana, but not anymore."
"After mastering a special meditation method and receiving the inheritance of the Angel's Heart from Sister Miao, my mana consumption has significantly decreased."
"The quality of the energy within my body has also increased, allowing me to store more magic."
"Most importantly, the existence of the Angel's Heart essentially provides me with a constant spring of mana."
"My mana regeneration speed is something you can't even dream of catching up to!"
"Just envy my terrifying endurance, hahaha!"
Lin Ran rolled his eyes.
Envy her endurance? What a joke...
With the freakish HP regeneration of a natural spirit body combined with the freakish mana regeneration of the Ring of Souls, he was basically an inexhaustible perpetual motion machine, the true king of endurance.
While Lin Ran didn't know the function of the Angel's Heart, it was undoubtedly far inferior to his two trump cards.
