Gao Wu, the red-haired template! Will you give me this favor? Chapter 051

On the hillside, the two hooded men, who had always been confident of victory, showed surprise on their indifferent faces for the first time after seeing the changes on the battlefield.

“Is it someone from the Eastern Special Forces?!”

The officer’s brows also furrowed tightly, and he questioned in a gloomy tone:

“Why didn’t we receive any news about the Special Forces being deployed?!”

The subordinate didn’t dare to delay and immediately dialed an encrypted communication.

A moment later, he hung up the phone and reported with a grim expression:

“Sir, Dragon Country has detected our infiltration and is currently undergoing an internal purge.”

“Our insiders will not be able to provide us with intelligence recently.”

Upon hearing this, the officer just nodded silently, but the gaze under his hood became increasingly cold.

He distantly watched the figure in the high school battlefield, who was fiercely fighting five commander-level demonic beasts alone, and asked in a deep voice:

“Who is this person? There doesn’t seem to be such a person in the Eastern Special Forces’ data.”

The subordinate observed carefully for a moment, quickly retrieving information in his mind, and replied:

“If the information is correct, he should be the target Zhang Qiming specifically mentioned before—Lu Ran.”

“As for…Zhang Qiming and the twelve high-level transcendents who acted with him, there has been no news so far.”

“I’m afraid they have all fallen into this kid’s hands.”

“Do we need to make a move?” the subordinate asked for instructions.

“No need, let’s see first!”

The officer shook his head, a calculating glint flashing in his deep eyes.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the other four special forces members have gone to deal with the other four commander-level demonic beasts separately.”

“Lu Ran’s attack just now was only at the level of a low-level commander, winning by surprise and sneak attack.”

“The remaining five commander-level demonic beasts are not something he can deal with!”

“There’s no need, don’t expose yourself!”

The hooded man made what he considered a safe judgment, but he missed the only chance in his life to kill Lu Ran.

……..

At this time, on the high school battlefield.

Liu Xiaoxiao had already transformed into an Ice Queen, and as she spread her arms, terrifying cold air swept out like a tide.

Mid-to-high-level transcendent demonic beasts were frozen into ice sculptures in large numbers.

With her加入, the pressure on the Demon Suppression Army at the entrance of the stadium was greatly reduced.

The surviving Demon Suppression Army immediately organized manpower to bring the unconscious Sha Mantian back into the stadium.

Several soldiers who had participated in the previous beast tide defense battle burst into incredulous light in their eyes when they saw Lu Ran’s face clearly.

“It’s him! It’s that young man from last time!”

“Is he already a commander-level combatant?!”

“It’s only been a few months…?!”

“But… fighting five commander-level demonic beasts alone is too much, isn’t it?”

The homeroom teacher, Ye Chen, stared blankly at the distant figure fighting five commander-level demonic beasts fiercely by himself, his heart churning.

Is this… really Lu Ran?

The student who awakened Haki and whom he had once mocked…

Now, he stood like a mountain, blocking the way for everyone.

“Kid… you must hold on!”

On the battlefield, Lu Ran was in danger under the encirclement of five commander-level demonic beasts.

Although his attack was strong, his defense was a fatal weakness.

What was more troublesome was that demonic beasts of the same rank had far superior defense to humans.

This meant that Lu Ran had to exert all his strength to kill one,

But the price was that he would be exposed to the fatal attacks of the other four demonic beasts.

Every time he clashed with a demonic beast, Lu Ran’s blood surged, and blood continuously seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Liu Xiaoxiao, not far away, noticed Lu Ran’s predicament and anxiously shouted:

“Lu Ran! You can’t hold on like this! I’ll help you!”

“No!”

Lu Ran’s voice was decisive.

“Once you leave, the Demon Suppression Army in the stadium won’t be able to withstand the beast tide’s impact! The students in the stadium will also die!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao’s movements involuntarily paused.

She looked at the blood-soaked, heavily wounded figure that still didn’t retreat half a step, and for a moment, she couldn’t speak.

Lu Ran glanced at his panel in a hurry, his thoughts racing, and he immediately made a decision.

[Face Points] 16257

The next moment,

Lu Ran fully concentrated [Observation Haki] and [Conqueror’s Haki] on one demonic beast,

At the same time, he covered his entire body with [Armament Haki], intending to ignore the encirclement of the other demonic beasts and seize an opportunity for a decisive kill!

“Haki Infusion!”

The black blade, covered in crimson lightning, was drawn again!

The twin-winged demonic beast, completely locked on, had all its weaknesses exposed under Observation Haki, and its movements were momentarily stunned by the pressure of Conqueror’s Haki!

“Pfft!”

The blade light flashed, and the twin-winged demonic beast was cut in half!

But at the same time, the fatal attacks of the other four demonic beasts followed one after another!

Claws, sharp horns, and heavy tails slammed into Lu Ran from all directions!

“Clang——!!”

A piercing clang of metal exploded!

The body covered in Armament Haki ultimately failed to offset the combined attack of the four demonic beasts.

Lu Ran was hit as if by a heavy hammer, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly weakened.

“Lu Ran!” Liu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but exclaim.

Everyone present’s heart instantly tightened.

Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly. How old was this child! To protect them, he had gone to such lengths!

Seeing this, the four demonic beasts’ eyes gleamed with even fiercer light, and they encircled him again!

Everyone quickly exclaimed, “Dodge quickly!”

However, facing this certain death situation, Lu Ran’s lips curled into a smile.

‘System! Exchange 15000 points! Upgrade Armament Haki to LV 3!’

[Current Face Points] 1257

[Armament Haki Lv 2/5, Upgrade Points 0/15]

(Currently can cover the entire body, permanent Armament Haki. Next level: Unlock Ryuo)

[Ding! Upgrade successful!]

[Armament Haki Lv 3/5, Upgrade Points 0/30]

(Currently unlocked Ryuo. Next level: Internal Destruction)

(Internal Destruction: The ultimate mastery of “Ryuo”, able to penetrate Haki through the surface of a person or object, causing continuous internal damage.)

The moment the skill upgraded, a vast warm current surged through his limbs and bones, and Lu Ran’s injuries healed at a visible rate!

At the same time, a deeper, more condensed dark Armament Haki, like liquid metal, covered Lu Ran’s entire body!

Facing the encirclement of the remaining four demonic beasts!

Lu Ran did not retreat but advanced, instantly drawing his blade and accurately blocking the attacks of two demonic beasts,

While the claws of the other two demonic beasts solidly struck Lu Ran’s chest!

Boom!!

This time, he merely swayed slightly, and his blood surged slightly.

“Sure enough! LV 3 Armament Haki’s defense increases geometrically!”

“I can already withstand it without being severely injured!”

Lu Ran’s heart was greatly settled.

Moreover, LV 3 Armament Haki brought more than just increased defense!

The next second, on the black blade, in addition to the crimson lightning representing [Haki Infusion], a layer of purple lightning representing [Ryuo] also wrapped around it!

The blade had not yet arrived, but the killing intent had already emerged!

Rip——!!!

The black blade, wrapped in crimson and purple lightning, fiercely slashed onto the thick scales of the commander-level demonic beast.

There was no clang of metal, nor the imagined sense of obstruction.

That eerie purple [Ryuo] Haki, like an extremely sharp energy blade, directly pierced through the demonic beast’s scales!!

And immediately after, the crimson [Haki Infusion] lightning, representing ultimate destructive power, surged in without reservation along the path opened by [Ryuo]!

The fierce light in the demonic beast’s eyes extinguished, and its massive body split into two halves, its life extinguished!

Another commander-level demonic beast was cut into two by this single strike!

“Such strong attack power!”

Feeling the feedback from the blade, Lu Ran muttered:

“If [Haki Infusion] is critical damage, then [Ryuo] is true damage that ignores defense!”

Lu Ran glanced around, locking onto the only three remaining demonic beasts, a smile playing on his lips.
