Chapter 29: Continue Fighting

  If Longge had used his full strength, Bao Wang would have been dead long ago.

  If Longge used his Golden Attribute Qi, Bao Wang would have been killed long ago.

  If Long Ge had forged a low-grade golden weapon dagger or large knife ahead of time, Bao Wang would have been killed long ago.

  However, there was no if, because Long Song couldn't possibly use up all his hidden strength just because of a fifth-grade Leopard King. So without good weapons and not daring to use full force, Long Song could only do one thing - consume the Leopard King's fighting spirit and exhaust him to death!

  The leopard king didn't have any medicine to eat, although he was growing in the desert and his ability to recover his fighting spirit was relatively fast, but Longge's recovery ability was even faster. The earth attribute and fire attribute elements were constantly replenishing Longge's fighting spirit, so Longge and the leopard king were constantly fighting, constantly consuming each other's fighting spirit. This result was what Longge hoped to see!

  "This little dragon song is indeed the nemesis of a hundred bandits, and even now his aura is still so strong. It seems that Leopard King won't be able to withstand him at this rate." A hidden figure said.

  "Yes, this dragon song's ability to recover fighting spirit may be even more formidable than yours. Although it can't beat you now, if its level is similar to yours, you will definitely not be its opponent. So, when you go back, you still need to strengthen your training." Another voice with a more majestic tone said from hiding.

  "Yes! Teacher, I won't be surpassed by these junior brothers and sisters. I will be the strongest in our Huanghe North Shore Academy, at least before I enter the Imperial Academy's Advanced Department - Sky, I won't let them surpass me." The hidden figure who seemed to be a student said.

  "Haha, great! But looking at them like this, they can handle it themselves, and there's no need for you to intervene. We can just watch from the sidelines!" said the mysterious figure who seemed to be a teacher.

  In fact, these two are a teacher and student from the Imperial Academy who protect Long Song.

  Newborns are the future of the college, and the college cannot let them fend for themselves in the desert, but it also cannot openly protect them. Therefore, they can only secretly protect them from the sidelines. Teachers and students can only intervene once, with one being a covert assistance and the other an overt assistance. Covert assistance means that this small team can continue to be tested in the desert, while the second assistance declares that this small team's trial in the desert has ended.

  In different corners of the desert, there are a total of 200 teachers and 200 upperclassmen who have come to protect our freshmen. Some freshmen are alone in a small group, while others are in groups of ten, so the college has sent out that many teachers and upperclassmen, which is already enough to protect them.

  And just three days after entering the desert, many teams have already used up the help that was secretly provided. For example, a team suddenly found that a high-level demon beast stopped moving and let them hit it, which was the teacher secretly helping out. This counts as one instance of help. Such help is not obvious, so no team noticed it, they just felt that the desert was very dangerous, so they would be more careful in dealing with it. This kind of secret help made them cherish the opportunity to train even more, because from just three short days, they already felt that fighting had a great impact on their recovery and growth of internal energy. They believed that after such intense and concentrated battles, they would soon advance to the Infant stage.

  While Long Song and his team encountered a fifth-level leopard king, they didn't use any help at all due to Long Song's strength. Of course, the newcomers didn't know they had help, they just complained that the academy abandoned them here without care. Although their strength improved rapidly in a short period of time, they were still very careful, afraid of being finished off instantly.

  Long Song was still entangled in battle with Leopard King, having fought for three hours. The sun had risen to the top of their heads, and the scorching energy continuously impacted the earth. Long Jinzi and Rose siblings were resisting the fire poison sunlight with their wood attribute Dou Qi! Unfortunately, they weren't fire attributes, otherwise they wouldn't feel uncomfortable, but would instead feel like they were cultivating!

  Long Di also had fire attribute Dou Qi, so while watching Long Yue's battle, he was also constantly cultivating his fire attribute Dou Qi. In the desert where everything was hot enough to catch fire, cultivating fire attribute Dou Qi was five times more effective than anywhere else. For Long Di, this kind of cultivation was as good as it got; if not for having to watch over Long Yue, he would have already become fully immersed in his training.

  As for Long Song, it is more comfortable to cultivate in battle because he desperately outputs Dou Qi and absorbs the earth attribute Dou Qi of sand and the fire attribute Dou Qi of sunlight. In the process of consumption and re-absorption, the white energy becomes purer and the Qi Infant grows stronger after absorbing the white energy. The speed of cultivation in battle is ten times that of usual! Long Song even hopes to continue fighting with Bao Wang until he reaches Qi Infant level 5, or even level 6 or 7. As long as they keep fighting, this is not impossible. However, Bao Wang also gets tired sometimes, and without the support of Dan medicine, his Dou Qi consumption far exceeds his absorption, relying solely on fire attribute recovery. If it weren't for his deep strength, he wouldn't be able to last that long.

  The prolonged battle between the Dragon Song and the Leopard King continued until dusk, when the sun went down, the fire attribute Dou Qi began to decrease, and the Leopard King's recovery Dou Qi speed was almost zero. The Leopard King found that it couldn't gain any advantage at all, and started considering retreating!

  "Hong!" Long Ge kicked Panther King's belly again, and Panther King flew out in pain!

  The leopard king couldn't understand why, despite being lower in level and slower than him, Longge always seemed to be one step ahead. Every time he attacked, Longge would somehow anticipate it and counter with a fiery explosion of a knife slash or kick. Although these attacks didn't deal much damage to the leopard king, after a day of fighting, his energy was severely depleted. If they continued to fight, he might not even have the chance to escape!

  "Roar!" The leopard king endured another slash from Long Ge's knife, suddenly turned his head towards Jin Zi and Mei Gui, wanting to escape, but before escaping, he also wanted to eat a few people first!

  But its idea was doomed to fail, Long Song instantly drew out the golden bow from the space ring with a nine-linked ring technique, completely sealing off the leopard king's path forward!

  If it charged forward, it would be shot by arrows. The leopard king, who had already gained adult wisdom, hastily changed direction and escaped in another direction!

  Long Ge didn't dare to use the Water Drop Step, so he could only watch as the Leopard King escaped. Jin Zi and Mei Gui also let out a sigh of relief at this time, and hurried over with Long Di to see how Long Ge was doing.

  "We must leave immediately, or more and even fiercer magical beasts will come!" Long Ge said seriously, knowing that they had been fighting for a day, which was enough time for even fiercer magical beasts to arrive!

  "What about these spoils of war?" Jin Zi pointed at the demon beast corpses on the ground.

  "Put the corpse of the Qi Ling-level demon beast into the spatial ring, nothing else, hurry up and leave!" Long Song said quickly.

  Fifteen minutes later, Long Song and the others had run to a place very far from the battlefield, and set up a bonfire in their tent, roasting the meat of a Gaspari-level magical beast.

  On the original battlefield, several thousand demonic beasts stood in a dense black mass. The newly arrived demonic beasts were gnawing on the corpses of the dead demonic beasts, while their leader, a sixth-level Lion of the Wind element, was considering how to pursue and kill the fleeing humans.

  "These corpses are still fresh, these few humans won't be able to run far. Looking at their strength, it's only at the infant level, definitely not my match. If I can eat them up, my power will definitely increase by a large margin! Tomorrow morning, let the demonic beasts disperse and search for them. If they find them, just surround and kill them. As long as I eat them, reaching the seventh level of Qi won't be far off!" The Lion King was constantly thinking and imagining himself having eaten the humans, but would Long Yue let it have its way so easily?

  In Longge's tent.

  "This demonic beast's meat is really delicious, it smells so good!" Jin Zi said excitedly while eating the tasty demonic beast meat.

  "If it were in our old home, these meats would be served to guests, how could we kids get to eat them?" Rose also ate happily.

  "Hehe, as long as you follow Long Ge, I guarantee that you'll get to eat delicious monster meat every day!" Long Di said with a smile, his mouth watering at the sweet and savory smell of monster meat.

  "Hmm, as long as our strength improves, I guarantee that not only can we eat the flesh of a Qi Infant-level magical beast, but next time we can also eat the flesh of a Qi Forming-level magical beast." Long Song said confidently.

  "The flesh of a Qi Xing level magical beast can be used for beauty and skincare! I really want to eat it!" Rose's eyes sparkled with starry lights.

  "...". The three little boys were suddenly speechless!

  "First of all, let's discuss tactics!" Long Ge said while gnawing on a deliciously roasted golden-brown beast leg, "What kind of battle should we adopt to deal with an enemy that is stronger and more numerous than us?"

  "Dragon Song Captain! You say it, we'll listen!" Long Di and the others were made extremely lazy by the sweet roasted meat, even their energy for thinking was consumed by the roasted meat.

  "......" Long Ge was silent for a moment before saying "We'll adopt the tactics of a great man - guerrilla warfare!"

  "Guerrilla tactics?" Rose asked in puzzlement, "What kind of tactic is that?"

  "This tactic is - when the enemy advances, we retreat: preserve our strength and wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack; when the enemy retreats, we advance: strike at their morale and accumulate small victories into a big one; when the enemy is stationed, we harass them: exhaust the enemy and create a favorable situation for us; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack: concentrate our forces and launch a decisive attack to annihilate the enemy." Long Song explained in detail and analyzed the reasoning.

  "Ah!?" Jin Zi exclaimed "It's so fierce?!"

  "Did you understand?" Rose asked Jin Zhi curiously "I still don't know what it means!"

  "I don't understand, but I heard Long Ge say it with such confidence, so it should be a pretty powerful tactic!" Jin Zi said.

  "It's definitely very powerful!" Long Di said firmly beside him.

  "Is it very fierce?" Rose asked Long Di "Can you understand?"

  "I don't understand!" Long Di's face turned red as he said, "Although I don't understand, but I believe in Long Ge!"

  "......" Long Ge was speechless again, it was really too difficult to explain guerrilla tactics to a few 5 or 6 year old kids, "Anyway, just listen to me and I guarantee that everyone will get through these six months of training!"
