Chapter 175: Chapter 109: Late-Night Duo Training

But once Qin Feng’s strength completely surpassed hers, and she accepted him as the new alpha,

Fenrir instantly shed all her sharp edges, becoming as docile as a clingy puppy, with none of the aura a future queen should possess.

Now, if he told her to go east, she would never go west. If he told her to lie on the ground, she would never sit up.

“Lord.”

“Aren’t we clearing out those Void Creatures that have appeared out of nowhere today?”

While they were on the move, Diablo approached Qin Feng. His gaze swept over the Void Creatures in the distance being ignored by the Wolf Pack Army as he asked with a hint of curiosity:

“If we let them build up, won’t they be a pain to clean up later?”

Riding on the back of the charging Desert Giant Wolf King, Qin Feng answered without turning his head:

“Ignore them.”

“For the next ten days, our targets are the Void Bosses. They can give me…”

He stopped mid-sentence, as if he had suddenly snapped back to his senses. He quickly raised his hand in a halt signal while yanking hard on the Desert Giant Wolf King’s reins, forcing the charging Mount to a stop.

*Sigh…*

’Looks like last night’s training was too intense!’

’My mind is a complete mess. I didn’t even consider that today’s battle plan needed to be adjusted, and I was still following the old one!’

’What am I now?’

’I’m a one-star Superman, an Extraordinary Creature!’

’I can’t clear out the tens of thousands of Void Creatures in the Death Zone by myself!’

’But as long as I want to leave, even if they’ve formed a tight encirclement, they can’t possibly stop me. I’ll just casually carve a bloody path right through them!’

’And the Divine Chosen Soldiers I brought out to fight are, at a minimum, Leader Level Tiger-men with a panel combat power of Zero-star (Purple).’

’There are also a ton of Zero-star (Gold) Ratman Legacy Warriors and Desert Giant Wolf Kings.’

’Plus the Wing Connection Desert Wolf Cavalry, who are at the peak of Zero-star (Gold).’

’Ten ridiculously overpowered Sielo Knights.’

’And the army of Flame Foxes, newly tamed and rapidly promoted over the past few days thanks to the “Hunting” skill and the “Survival of the Fittest” Talent.’

’So.’

’Even without the buff from the “War Blessing” skill,’

’they are more than capable of dominating the core of the Death Zone, killing large numbers of level 5 Void Creatures of the same level, and surrounding and eliminating scattered, lone level 6 Void Creatures and Void Bosses.’

’If they were to encounter a large group of level 6 Void Creatures with Zero-star (Red) combat power,’

’in a head-on confrontation, the Wolf Pack Army wouldn’t be able to instantly wipe them out. In fact, they might lose quite a few Divine Chosen Soldiers to the enemy’s attacks…’

’In that situation, a direct retreat would be the best option.’

’With the speed buff from the Desert Giant Wolf Kings, plus the Flame Foxes’ self-destruct Big Move as a safety net, they can leave whenever they want, retreating to the safer “Shallow Zone” of the Death Zone at any time.’

’They could then turn to deal with weaker, low-level Void Creatures, or seek out smaller clusters of high-level Void Creatures that they can handle.’

’In that case,’

’there’s no need for me to continue leading the “Imperial Expedition” personally.’

’I might as well split our forces and advance in a more efficient two-pronged assault, killing Void Bosses in two directions at once to speed up how fast I gain event points.’

At this thought, Qin Feng immediately looked at Diablo beside him and gave his orders:

“Diablo.”

“Relay my command.”

“The entire Wolf Pack Army is to advance north. Along the way, the Ratman Legacy Warriors, Desert Giant Wolf Kings, and Sielo Knights will prioritize annihilating all Void Creatures encountered, as well as the Void Bosses that are our main targets.”

“The other low-level soldiers should avoid combat as much as possible, so they don’t take away their Killing Experience Points and Combat Experience Points.”

“If you encounter a large-scale group of Void Creatures that is difficult to handle,”

“play it safe.”

“Retreat and avoid the fight.”

“Anyway… the sole objective is to not let too many get injured and use up our precious Healing Potions.”

“Until I rejoin the group.”

Hearing this, Diablo immediately understood Qin Feng’s plan and hurriedly tried to dissuade him:

“Lord, you intend to act alone, to hunt the Void Bosses deeper in the Death Zone?”

“This?”

“Isn’t that too risky?”

“Why not let us come with you?”

Qin Feng shook his head, his tone firm:

“It’s fine.”

“With my current strength,”

“if I really run into a large group of high-level Void Creatures I can’t handle,”

“I can retreat whenever I want.”

“No ordinary Tier Zero creature can stop me.”

“However, if you continue to follow me, not only will you fail to speed up my progress in killing Void Bosses, you’ll actually slow down the leveling efficiency of all the high-level soldiers.”

“Don’t forget.”

“The new Divine Power I obtained.”

“Although it can help low-level soldiers get promoted to high-level soldiers faster, the prerequisite is that the high-level soldiers’ levels are high enough to create a level gap with the low-level ones.”

“When that time comes,”

“as long as the top-tier Divine Chosen Soldiers level up fast enough,”

“it means the leveling speed of all other Divine Chosen Soldiers will increase as well.”

“…”

As his Divine Chosen Soldiers and Divine Chosen Heroes were absolutely loyal, Qin Feng never intended to hide the various new Riding and Cutting Talents he had acquired from Diablo and the others.

In fact,

there was no point in hiding it.

Because with enough exposure, anyone even slightly intelligent and observant could figure out the specific effects of these Talents.

It was like when Qin Feng had proactively revealed his “Recruit Prisoners” Talent to the native Ratmen of the Poison Arrow Tribe.

That was also because it was impossible to hide such a heaven-defying ability.

So, rather than have it discovered and invite baseless speculation, it was better to be open about it, give them a ’god-mode’ level of shock, and crush any nascent thoughts of rebellion.

Anyway, all of it could be attributed to the higher-dimensional Deities who created this Lord World, explained away with the unified concepts of “Divine Power” and “Awakened Talent.”

As long as Qin Feng didn’t proactively reveal the detailed effects of the Talents,

he didn’t have to worry about anyone questioning the plausibility of these Riding and Cutting Talents.

As for…

the gamified terms like Void Boss, Soldier Level, and Professional Level,

they were not common knowledge that the Native Creatures of the Lord World were born with.

Instead, it was advanced knowledge that Qin Feng had personally taught to Divine Chosen Heroes like Diablo, mixed with scattered bits of information found in the intel on “Divine Chosen Lords” held by certain native nobles.

This approach,

for someone like Qin Feng, who could firmly control his army and ensure his soldiers’ absolute loyalty,

was naturally not a problem.

But for other Lord Players who didn’t possess Riding and Cutting Talents,

they would have to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

Should they or should they not inform their native heroes and Native Soldiers of this knowledge, letting them know the detailed situation and specifics of Divine Chosen Lords, which might lead them to provide targeted help, or take targeted hostile actions…

Anyway,

Qin Feng thought it was great.

Because once the Native Creatures understood the principles and mechanisms of how to promote themselves into high-level Soldier Types,

their growth rate would increase dramatically.

Take the acquisition of Combat Experience, for example. The core of it is fighting enemies.

For instance, by actively participating in a battle, soldiers could gain a small amount of Combat Experience.

By dealing damage to an enemy or taking damage from an enemy during a battle, they could also gain a small amount of Combat Experience.

If they could personally kill an enemy, they would receive the most Killing Experience.

This way,

Qin Feng’s Divine Chosen Army could consciously let the high-level veterans in the team get the last hits.

New units would rely purely on Combat Experience for promotion.

They would also get to reap the benefits of Qin Feng’s “Survival of the Fittest” Talent.

However,

through Qin Feng’s Observation,

he discovered another extremely special type of existence.

Namely, Demon Beast heroes, which are Boss-type creatures. They all possess a hidden ability to automatically raise their Professional Level.

The trade-off is that Demon Beast heroes can only have one special Profession: “Boss.”

They cannot acquire any additional Professions.

For example, when Valkyrie rushed back from the Bear Tribe and suddenly got promoted to Zero-star (Gold) combat power, it wasn’t because she had killed a few enemies along the way.

It was because her Professional Level as a “Boss” had increased on its own.

Therefore,

even Ashes, who never participates in any battles,

its personal combat power was actually, quietly, and continuously growing stronger.

It’s just that,

this upward trend in strength…

didn’t really translate into much actual killing power for it.
