Chapter 400: Farming contribution points

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

What a grand and magnificent sight!

The blazing red flames illuminated the entire area and extended toward the horizons.

The moment those spirit lifeforms got near, their bodies would instantly be ignited into flames.

Their lives and energy body were like the best material for starting a fire, causing the flames to burn with even more intensity.

The black spirit tide collided with the red stretch of light, causing the one-half of the area to be filled with flames, while the other was filled with the spirit lifeforms.

The black spirit tide seemed incomparably ferocious, but the red light used them as burning materials, blazing stronger and stronger, extending forth endlessly.

“Open fire!” An imposing voice rang out.

As the sound of the voice faded, the countless metallic cannons of the fortresses fired again. The energy cannons filled with the crimson refinement gunpowder blasted out once more.

Interstellar warfare was incomparably cruel. There was only a single rule—no mercy! When an opponent was injured, one must give it their all to claim their lives!

Cruelty, cold-blooded, brutal…there was no room for mercy.

The spirit race devoured the energy of the universe. They were the enemies of the races living in the universe.

If interstellar humans wanted to exist and continue living in the universe, they only had a single solution. They had to annihilate the spirit race.

This was a grudge that could only be settled with the death of an entire race. There was no other way to resolve this.

In that case, there was only a single path. Either you die, or I die!

The Great Wall Army naturally wouldn’t be polite. They fired the cannons with gusto.

The energy cannons broke the bodies of the spirit lifeforms into smaller energy particles. Once these particles come in contact with the crimson refinement gunpowder, they would instantly combust and spread even further.

The purple-red flames stretched out continuously, the black spirit tide was now blocked by a layer of powerful flames with no way to advance further. In the end, when the fire spread over, all the spirit monsters were in chaos as they fled in different directions.

“It’s truly effective!”

“The crimson refinement gunpowder is the bane of the spirit race!”

“Humanity has gained yet another weapon that can damage and kill the spirit race!”

“Sooner or later, we will counterattack and annihilate the spirit race, opening up a path for humanity to explore beyond the Milky Way Galaxy!”

…

Gaining victory in the first battle, cheering rang out from within the fortresses as the hearts of everyone leaped with joy.

With regard to the war against the spirit race, the confidence of everyone soared once again.

The crimson refinement gunpowder had truly shown its might with just a single battle!

“Feng Lin, well done! Your invention of the crimson refinement gunpowder, as well as your mass production of it, will definitely earn you much contribution points!” the lieutenant colonel praised. “From today onwards, you might even become the idol of many students of the Great Wall University!”

Feng Lin smiled and nodded, but he didn’t lose his head. Instead, he actually felt somewhat strange.

The black spirit tide was terrifying but they dispersed so quickly? He couldn’t help but feel a sense of surrealism.

Although the crimson refinement gunpowder countered the spirit race, he didn’t feel that just a single medical substance could defeat such a terrifying species that had destroyed several star systems before!

“It ended so quickly? Is this still the terrifying spirit race that I know of?” Feng Lin involuntarily asked.

“Of course not. This black spirit tide is merely the vanguard, they are the cannon fodders of the spirit race. This is just the beginning. According to the information our university collected, the true elite forces of the spirit race would arrive here roughly about ten days later.

Oh?

Feng Lin’s expression turned heavy.

“Don’t worry, for these two thousand plus years, we have defended the Milky Way Galaxy from the spirit race. We naturally have a mature system on how to handle them. At that time, you will see it. Naturally, you still have to continue producing the crimson refinement gunpowder. Earlier, we used about 800 kg worth of crimson refinement gunpowder and we completely slaughtered the spirit tide’s vanguard. It’s truly a weapon of mass destruction, and it’s naturally for the better if we can have more of it. Just this crimson refinement gunpowder alone can allow you to farm vast amounts of contribution points,” said the Lieutenant Colonel calmly.

Feng Lin nodded, but he didn’t feel so confident in his heart.

The spirit race was also an extremely terrifying race in the universe who evolved very quickly. Their existences were like a natural calamity to the star systems.

Before this, in front of the spirit blackhole, the crimson refinement gunpowder was completely useless. Only the true crimson refinement cinnabar pill could do real damage and they needed a large quantity before they could succeed in killing it.

The strength of a lifeform depended on its evolution.

This time around, the spirit race suffered such a huge disadvantage. Given their evolution speed, the next time they came, they would surely be prepared for this.

He who gave no thought to far-flung problems would soon find suffering nearby.

Thus, Feng Lin had to make his preparations for that as well.

At this moment, the Great Wall University already sent out teams to ‘clean up’ the battlefield.

Feng Lin didn’t stay here for too long. After the threat was vanquished, he turned and departed.

But the commotion caused by the might of the crimson refinement gunpowder also caused Feng Lin to rise to fame after this battle. The aftermath’s influence continued to spread.

“So this is the might of the crimson refinement gunpowder. In a real battle, it’s truly as terrifying as rumored.”

“Simply the bane of the spirit race!”

“It’s is a brand new style of refinement technique. I heard that the creator is a freshman who recently joined the university, how impressive!”

“He has achieved such a huge contribution. Most probably, he would soon be able to be ranked on the star-level of the Heaven Chosen Rankings!”

…

An uproar was caused in the discussion forum of the university. There were voices of envy, jealousy, awe… all sorts of emotions.

On the battlefield, only through shedding their sweat and blood could the students gain contribution points.

Now, someone of the same generation actually managed to rise so strongly. How could the others not feel a stirring in their hearts?

And the scene of the spirit race fleeing in terror was broadcasted through the entire star web, creating an even bigger commotion.

Even though Feng Lin didn’t go online often, when he did so to browse important information, there would constantly be news about him being spread online.

The mythology forum was also in a frenzy.

“A shocking discovery: A medicinal substance of the killing style. A freshman of the Great Wall University has created an entirely new style of medicinal refinement!:

“New era of human warfare, killing-style medicinal refinement technique!”

“A person from the solar system created a miraculous medical substance, and he has ascended to the Heaven Chosen Ranking!”

…

Each post had many emoticons beneath and there were countless comments, drawing intense discussions.

A new universe war would soon begin, and the attentions of humanity were all focused on the Great Wall University.

The first time the crimson refinement gunpowder appeared already showed that it contained incredible killing power against the spirit race. The miraculous tiny crystals caused many to sigh in awe and shock.

Also, Feng Lin discovered that he had somehow ascended to the star-level of the Heaven Chosen Rankings and his position surged like a rocket, surpassing many other names, finally stopping at the 26th position. The information there stated, “Feng Lin, origins: solar system, a freshman of Mythology Academy of the Great Wall University. Cultivation level: Grand Cultivator Realm. Vitality stat: above 4,000. Achievement: Inventor of the crimson refinement gunpowder, a medical substance that is extremely effective in slaying the spirit race…”

Through the invention of the crimson refinement gunpowder, Feng Lin entered the rankings. In truth, he was the only one from the solar system who entered it.

However, he didn’t depend on his combat strength to enter the rankings. Those people ranked behind him all had at least 9,000 points in vitality stats. They were the truly powerful characters of the younger generation at the grand cultivator realm.

Now that he suddenly rose to the 26th position, it seemed somewhat abrupt. There might be people who felt that he wouldn’t live up to his reputation.

But Feng Lin didn’t care about this at all.

Humans were an intelligent race. They would naturally make good use of the tools available to them.

Just the invention of the crimson refinement gunpowder alone was an achievement that surpassed countless grand cultivators.

If it wasn’t for the fact that his cultivation base was currently lagging behind these people, it wouldn’t be a difficult thing for him to even ascend to the moon-level.

Since the beginning of time, in chaos, heroes would always rise with the wind.

This scene verified his earlier judgment. Every time a great war was about to occur, it would be a chance for people to rise.

In that case, why couldn’t he be the one who rose?

He didn’t rest and immediately began a new round of research.

The powerful physique of a grand cultivator allowed him to operate for a long time at a high-level intensity.

Ten days later, there would be an even stronger spirit race army arriving.

He had to do research and see how he could create an even more effective substance to hunt these spirit lifeforms, which would allow him to farm even more contribution points.

In interstellar warfare, both sides wouldn’t rest until one side was exterminated!

The war had just started but it seemed about to move into its climax soon.

This time around, he was planning to establish a matchless and magnificent amount of contribution points!
