Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: The Importance of Combat Techniques

TL: Etude

“How did you learn combat techniques!?” Zhang Tianyang couldn’t help but exclaim at this moment.

Combat techniques were something that even Dongfang Yao only began to learn and come into contact with in the ruins over there. But Luo Xue could already execute them!? Moreover, she was able to release it during actual combat!

“Strictly speaking, I can’t really use combat techniques.” Luo Xue thought for a moment and then shook her head. “I was just imitating that ET using combat techniques. I didn’t expect to actually mimic the ‘form’ of it.”

Recalling last night’s situation, it still seemed a bit unbelievable to her. In that instant, she instinctively felt that she could mimic and release the combat technique. Unexpectedly, she succeeded. However, even though she succeeded, it was only in form and not in essence, failing to unleash the true power of the combat technique.

“This…”

Hearing Luo Xue’s words, Zhang Tianyang and the others were bewildered. Even being able to mimic it was incredibly impressive, right? Who among them could even manage that?

“Can you still release it now?” Zhang Tianyang took a deep breath and continued.

“I think I can.”

Luo Xue immediately drew the Demon Hunter Blade. Under the sunlight, the blade reflected a purple cold light. What a sharp blade! Just by looking at this Demon Hunter Blade, Zhang Tianyang could distinctly feel an intense aura of sharpness, and the blade seemed to emit an invisible pressure, truly astonishing.

The others standing around began to retreat to the sides. Luo Xue, holding the Demon Hunter Blade, recalled the feeling of releasing the combat technique last night. At this moment, the source energy within her body began to mobilize. In a short time, blue energy became visibly radiant on the Demon Hunter Blade. This blue energy quickly converged on the blade.

Slash!

In that instant, Luo Xue swung the Demon Hunter Blade forward fiercely.

Whoosh!

A cross-shaped blue energy burst forth, directly striking a nearby rock.

Boom!

The rock instantly shattered!

“My body’s source energy is not enough; it consumes a lot.”

Luo Xue spoke as she sheathed the Demon Hunter Blade.

“That’s very strong…”

Zhang Tianyang, Zhang Tiansheng, and Luo Zhendong, who had been stunned, slowly came to their senses. That strike just now could release such an energy attack—it was indeed incredible.

The other people wearing silver battle armor were still in shock.

Combat techniques! This was the legendary combat technique! And now, Luo Xue had learned it!

“Team Leader Luo, you are so strong!” A female voice couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.

Too powerful!

Luo Xue was already an idol to many within HXLZ, and now she had mastered combat techniques that others hadn’t even learned yet!

“No, the reason you think I’m strong is that the people around us are relatively weak.”

Luo Xue shook her head. She was speaking the plain truth. Often, one might feel strong in certain areas, but among truly powerful individuals, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.

“We have yet to encounter the intelligent beings of the Cosmic Federation.”

“Those ETs are merely their ‘lackeys’ responsible for turning Earth into a hunting ground. And just dealing with them already puts us under so much pressure.”

“What if the intelligent beings of the Cosmic Federation were to descend personally?”

Luo Xue’s eyes swept over the crowd as she spoke calmly. Her words hit everyone like a bucket of cold water. Indeed, those intelligent beings of the Cosmic Federation were the true masters of the ETs currently present on Earth. Dealing with these ETs alone had already driven them to their wits’ end.

“Moreover, I believe that if it were the intelligent beings of the Cosmic Federation, they would all have mastered combat techniques. And their combat techniques would be far stronger than those used by the ETs.” Luo Xue continued.

“Not just likely, but definitely,” Zhang Tianyang added, his expression grave.

The emergence of combat techniques was immensely significant for them. Once learned, these techniques could be used to deal with massive mutant creatures and even enable long-range attacks with combat techniques! Just like Luo Xue’s recent cross slash, which could hit distant targets. Currently, they had no effective way to deal with large, thick-skinned mutant creatures.

“Luo Xue, you can go to that ruin. Once you’re ready, take the special plane from the headquarters,” Zhang Tianyang said after taking a deep breath.

In that ruin, Dongfang Yao and others had obtained the methods for cultivating combat techniques. Currently, the world’s top warrior geniuses were studying there together. Given Luo Xue’s extraordinary talent, she might even gain further insights.

“Okay,” Luo Xue nodded slightly. She was eager to improve her strength. After all, Lin Hao’s strength was also steadily increasing, and she didn’t want to fall behind.

Time passed quickly, and by noon, the slumbering Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes.

“Evolution completed.”

As he opened his eyes, his massive body surfaced from the water.

“Hmm? Almost finished eating?”

He glanced at the corpse of the Behemoth near the shore of Hualong Pond, now reduced to bones by War Eagle and other mutant creatures.

“Hiss!”

War Eagle let out a sharp cry upon seeing Lin Hao. The other mutant creatures all turned their gazes toward him, their eyes full of respect. Lin Hao was now the king here!

“It looks like your injuries have healed quite a bit. Not bad.”

Lin Hao nodded slightly as he observed War Eagle’s recovering wounds. Its once severe injuries had healed quickly after consuming many level 7 crystal cores and the Behemoth’s flesh. Mutant creatures had strong vitality; as long as they had a breath left and enough energy intake, they could survive and slowly heal.

“Luo Xue left Longyin City for the largest known ruin in the world…”

Lin Hao took out his tablet from the bottom of the pond and read the message Luo Xue had sent earlier.

“This is good; she can learn the latest combat techniques. And with the top global experts around, there should be no danger.”

After reading the message, Lin Hao spoke to himself. He then sent a text to Luo Xue, telling her to contact him if anything happened and to share her location so he could arrive in time.

“This time, it seems my injuries have fully healed.”
