Xu Zhou and Qian Jiuyou, along with others, returned to the camp together.
At this time, Qian Jiuyou looked at Xu Zhou and asked, “What are your plans next?”
Now that the 55 War Zone has been liberated, it has been completely reclaimed by the Blue Star side.
If the Earth Star side wants to invade again, it will be much more difficult than before.
In the current intense situation in all the war zones, nothing is likely to happen in the 55 War Zone in the short term.
Therefore, the military will not force a decision on staying or leaving.
The talented martial artists from Martial Arts University are here to gain experience and kill enemies, so it’s impossible for them to stay in one war zone from start to finish.
Xu Zhou said, “I will go and check out the neighboring war zone.”
Qian Jiuyou nodded and said, “Alright, then let Elizabeth go with you.”
“No need.” Xu Zhou shook his head and said, “I’m used to being alone.
Besides, Elizabeth needs to report back to the 56th War Zone, our paths don’t align.”
Elizabeth, standing by, opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything.
In fact, she wanted to team up with Xu Zhou, but since he said so, she didn’t press the matter further.
Seeing no objections from either of them, Qian Jiuyou immediately nodded and said, “In any case, arrange it yourselves.”
He looked at Xu Zhou and said solemnly, “Xu Zhou, for today’s events, I, Qian, owe you a favor.
Thank you very much!”
He knew that if it weren’t for Xu Zhou, the 55 War Zone might have fallen today!
After all, the gap between the enemy and us was too great!
Xu Zhou waved his hand and said, “Just doing my duty, and it benefits me too, no need to thank me, Commander Qian.”
Qian Jiuyou nodded, giving a final farewell, “Be safe on the road.”
Xu Zhou nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk out of the camp.
The reason he was anxious to leave alone was, of course, to handle the items in his personal space!
A stream of light streaked across the sky, rushing towards the border of the 55 War Zone.
At this time, Xu Zhou had already flown to a vast unoccupied area.
Most of Guang Han is unoccupied, and even the armies of both sides will not step foot here.
At this moment, Xu Zhou landed in a desolate land.
He looked around, and after confirming that there was no one within a hundred miles, he waved his hand.
A deep vortex appeared.
Xu Zhou willed it and released all the Earth Star Martial Artists from his personal space.
These Earth Star Martial Artists were mostly on their last breath, unconscious, of course, except for Gai Mo, the only Fourth Realm Expert.
As a Fourth Realm Expert, even with his heart crushed, Gai Mo still retained a bit of consciousness.
“This, how is this possible?”
Seeing the space suddenly change, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
The means of this young Blue Star Martial Artist were truly strange!
At this moment, he even doubted whether the other party was a High Grade expert disguising as a third-grade to deal with them.
Xu Zhou didn’t care what he thought, he formed a seal with his hands and began devouring the other’s life soul.
White gas, flowing out from the bodies of hundreds of Earth Star Martial Artists, surged into Xu Zhou’s body.
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of these Earth Star Martial Artists began to wither.
In front of Xu Zhou, only hundreds of dried bones were left, as if they had rotted for decades.
With the endless life force entering him, a layer of divine light appeared on Xu Zhou’s body, with a sacred glow, making him look like a god, solemn and dignified.
At this moment, if Xu Zhou were to sit cross-legged, he would truly resemble a living Buddha, exuding supreme majesty.
“In a sense, I gave these people salvation.”
Xu Zhou smiled slightly, becoming more benevolent and kind.
Next, he spent a few more minutes retrieving all the Earth Star Crystals from the bodies.
“These Earth Star Crystals, indeed the cultivation items of Earth Star Martial Artists.”
Almost every Earth Star Martial Artist had Earth Star Crystals!
Moreover, the higher the strength of the Earth Star Martial Artist, the purer the Earth Star Crystals they carried.
For example, Gai Mo, the Earth Star Crystal he carried was fist-sized, emitting a faint glow, clearly of higher quality than others.
Xu Zhou sighed with emotion; this time, in addition to Earth Star Crystals, he also acquired some weapons.
“Unfortunately, most of the Earth Star Martial Artists’ weapons are nurtured by their life souls.
Once the owner dies, the weapon loses its original spirit and value drops sharply.”
For example, Gai Mo’s life weapon — his Soul Blade.
In life, it could unleash strange powers, but after Gai Mo’s death, the blade lost its luster and all its spirit.
After finishing his search of the corpses.
Xu Zhou waved his hand, completely purifying these dried bones.
“The Ancestor Dragon Marrow Blood in my body is more vigorous than ever!”
Xu Zhou looked inward, only to see a thick golden liquid almost solidifying, forming a spherical golden barrier that almost completely enveloped the Dao Lotus.
“So this golden barrier is not a shackle, but a kind of seal.”
At this moment, Xu Zhou suddenly had an epiphany.
He had always thought that the golden barrier was the shackle preventing his breakthrough.
But now it seems, not necessarily so.
It’s known that Ancestor Dragon Marrow Blood has an extremely aggressive nature, transforming the human body into the Dragon Clan.
But now, due to the presence of the Dao Lotus, all this Ancestor Dragon Marrow Blood is sealed in this place, unable to invade the human body.
“Perhaps today, I can condense the first divine skill…”
Xu Zhou showed a smile and turned into a stream of light, flying away.
Due to geographic reasons, the war zone neighboring the 55 War Zone is not the 54 War Zone, but the 45 War Zone.
The Commander of the Blue Star Camp in the 45 Zone — Jerryan, upon hearing that Xu Zhou was coming, actually led a team to stand at the camp’s entrance to welcome him.
