Order gradually returned to Steel Dome City.
Commander Qiu and Commander Ben each took charge of two large military districts, which had also undergone a major purge.
Though their strength had significantly diminished, now with a stable environment, they believed that soon everything would be back on track.
Many Desert Hunters were hunting in the ruins. In one particular area, a group of quite capable Desert Hunters moved cautiously towards the periphery, preparing to hunt down a Class B monster, which would fetch a much higher price.
"What’s that?" Suddenly, someone with binoculars looked toward a distant direction, and saw flashes of light among the ruins ahead, someone was fighting against a group of monsters.
"So strong," that person exclaimed.
In the ruins, the figure held a War Saber, which was shimmering with powerful energy light. With each slash of the War Saber, the bodies of monsters were cleaved in half, including the Class B ones.
On the ground, there were already many corpses of monsters.
The person was wearing Battle Armor, making it impossible to discern their face or who they were.
"It seems like Xu Mo," someone spoke, "At the exchange meeting, Xu Mo demonstrated this kind of superpower."
Several Desert Hunters’ hearts began to race a little.
The Old War God had now become a deified figure, firmly solidifying his position in Steel Dome City, unchallengeable by anyone.
And Xu Mo, he was not only well-known as a student of the Old War God, but he had also shown tremendous strength on his own. Not even when facing top prodigies from the capital would he falter, standing shoulder to shoulder with the capital’s top figure, Zero.
In that great battle, he piloted an S-Class Mecha.
Xu Mo had become a legendary figure in Steel Dome City, with a potential future surpassing even the Old War God.
However, after that storm, neither the Old War God nor Xu Mo made many public appearances; they didn’t need to anymore, for they had become the totems of Steel Dome City.
"Let’s go over and take a look," the group, somewhat excited, moved forward.
But before they had gone far, they stiffened, as soldiers appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the surrounding ruins, with their guns pointed at them.
"This area is off-limits for military hunting," one of the soldiers declared.
"Understood, officer," the Desert Hunters nodded, realizing this area seemed to be within the jurisdiction of the Southwest Military District.
It must be Xu Mo, they realized. They were aware of Xu Mo’s relationship with the Southwest Military District. During the first monster invasion disaster, Xu Mo saved the Southwest Army, becoming a totem in the hearts of many soldiers.
Xu Mo going out for hunting trials, accompanied by military personnel—his status...
In the midst of battle, several more monsters charged at Xu Mo, some swooping down from the sky with piercing screeches.
Xu Mo leaped skyward, surrounded by crackling electricity as if bathed in the Light of Thunder. The War Saber in his hand slashed out directly, and with a spurting sound, the blood spewed as the airborne monster was cleaved in two.
Around him, many more monsters continued to rush towards him.
Without any leverage, Xu Mo astonishingly hovered in mid-air, electricity dancing around him like serpents of thunder, even his eyes emanating a terrifying energy light.
Xu Mo’s War Saber slashed again, and a blade of light burst forth from the saber, turning into a tangible wave of energy endowed with powerful electricity. With a hissing sound, an attacking monster ahead was split down the middle.
As he landed, Xu Mo dashed forward, his Saber flashing continuously with extraordinarily fearsome Sword Skill combat techniques. Blood rained from the sky as monsters fell to his blade.
Soon, the monsters in the area were completely eradicated, and Xu Mo sheathed his Saber.
The S-Class Sword Skill combat technique he obtained from the Super God Arena was truly formidable, an evolved version of the Overclocking Slash, the big data had matched the combat skill to his abilities.
However, merely hovering with spiritual power made fighting mid-air inconvenient, lacking the synergy of wearing a Mecha or Armor.
He was not strong enough yet. If his Source Power Level could reach Class A, things should go much smoother.
Noises echoed around him, as numerous soldiers approached. Glancing at the monster carcasses strewn across the ground, they said, "The Military District could use a few more like you, so others wouldn’t need to train. You’ve taken care of all the monsters by yourself."
One of them looked at a particularly large corpse on the ground, which was a monster of Class B+ level, still no match for Xu Mo to kill.
His Source Power Level was B, but when combined with his Superpower, his Combat Power should have already reached the peak of B+, standard B+ monsters posed no threat to him.
This guy’s potential was terrifying.
Now, he was unmatched in Mecha combat, but in the future, he might still be invincible without the need for a Mecha.
"That’s enough for now, let’s head back," Xu Mo said, his skin having darkened considerably.
"Sure," the others nodded as several armored vehicles approached. They all climbed aboard.
At that moment, Xu Mo’s Communicator vibrated.
"You haven’t left yet??" Stark had been pressing him recently. Why hadn’t this guy made it to the capital to report to him?
"Soon," Xu Mo responded.
"How many times have you said those two words?" Stark asked.
"Are you that eager to have me over?" inquired Xu Mo.
"No," Stark replied softly, "I’ve found true love."
"......" Xu Mo paused for a few seconds, then quipped, "You sure have a lot of true loves."
"???" Stark retorted, "Anyone else could say that, but you’re the last person who should."
