"Whoosh!"
Ma Jiao raised his wrist and a 3D blueprint of the city was projected from his crystal processor. An area full of high-rises was enlarged.
"Gold Phoenix Road is the financial street of Verdant Tarn City. There are high-rises on two sides of the road and interlinked walkways in the middle of the buildings. Underground, there are four crystal rail train lines passing through, extending in all directions. The shape is very complicated."
"This is the last stronghold for the demon beasts on the surface. Countless powerful demon soldiers lie in wait on the two sides of Gold Phoenix Road. This shall be the stage where we display our skills!"
"You want to go to Gold Phoenix Road?"
Zhao Tianchong's pupils suddenly contracted.
The financial district was certainly the last stronghold of the demon beasts of the surface. A lot of powerful demon beasts were congregated there. Even high-level demon soldiers were likely to exist. The danger was extremely high.
Of course, the likelihood of getting school credits and battle achievements was greatest in the financial district.
"You guys of the Federation’s First Military College haven't formed a team with your senior students?" asked Zhao Tianchong.
Ma Jiao bluntly replied with a faint smile.
"Of course we have senior students, but most of them aren't willing to form a team with us, freshmen. Even if someone is willing to take us to Gold Phoenix Road and kill demon beasts, they would take the bulk of the kills. We would have to split the few left overs. Why should we do that? It would be better to find a few powerful freshmen to go killing demon beast with and split the gains equally!"
Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan glanced at each other and nodded in secret.
Ma Jiao's words were correct. To form a team with powerful senior students would guarantee their safety to a large degree, but most senior students weren't willing to bring newbies to the battlefield where danger lurks on all side. The seniors would feel disdain for the newbies over the burden.
Even if someone was willing to take them, the distribution of combat achievements after killing the demon beast wouldn't be advantageous towards the students of the low grades.
After all, the seniors were strong. They would certainly kill most of the demon beasts. The lower grade students wouldn't be able to do well. They would only give moral support from the side and cheer the seniors on.
What was the point of that?
Ma Jiao saw the aura of flames within the eyes of these two. He knew he had moved them and he spoke emotionally and chuckled.
"Zhao Tianchong. You and I met each other in the Limit Challenge Competition. It was what I considered to be a life or death fight for several rounds. You should know my strength."
"This fellow student, Bei Jingjing, is a first class sniper. We also have our fellow student Chunyu Peng. He is the best heavy fire power user. By your side is Lu Tieshan from the Devil Fist Sect. I've heard rumors about him. He is an outstanding close-combat expert."
"We five are the cream of the crop of freshmen from our various universities. We have long distance firepower and we have close combat killing ability. If we form a team, we will absolutely be able to break through Gold Phoenix Road. What do you say?"
Zhao Tianchong swept a gaze at Lu Tieshan. The later whispered into his ear.
"How's this Ma Jiao's power?"
Zhao Tianchong nodded gently.
"He's very powerful. In the Limit Challenge Competition, I was almost knocked out by him several times. In the end, his score was only lower than mine by three points!"
Lu Tieshan's eyes flared.
"That's quite decent. Even though we had Li Yao's heavy suppressive fire in the past, in the end, he's not a professional gunman. We have to exert a lot of effort to handle long-range demon beasts. It is because of this that we haven't been able to enter dangerous areas amassed with demon beasts. Right now, there are three powerful gunmen. It should be easy to charge into Gold Phoenix Road, right?"
Zhao Tianchong thought for a long while before raising his head and speaking.
"Ma Jiao, there aren't any problems for us to team up. However, we still have one more member. Everyone must go together, otherwise, we won't go."
"Oh, your Grand Desolate War Institution still has another amazing freshmen?"
Ma Jiao eyebrows cocked up. He was a bit surprised.
However, based on the meaning behind Zhao Tianchong's words, this freshman should be quite the decent expert.
If so, Ma Jiao wouldn't mind.
These firearms cultivators were experts in long distance combat, but they had problems once high-level demon beasts broke through their defensive force.
Therefore, in the midst of battle, they needed protection from sword cultivators and body practitioners.
The Federation’s First Military College also had a combat department, but it was a long way from the Grand Desolate War Institution's combat department.
This was also another reason why Ma Jiao didn't recruit his classmates, seeking to form a team with Zhao Tianchong instead.
If it was a close combat expert on the level of Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan, Ma Jiao would naturally welcome him!
But for some reason, Zhao Tianchong's expression was a bit warped. He coughed for a while and spoke.
"He's not of the combat department. He's a freshman of the refining department."
"Refining Department?"
Ma Jiao and the three others were stupefied on the spot. The looked at each other, "The Grand Desolate War Institution still has a Refining Department? Oh, I remember now. It seems like they do. I saw some news about them online last year. Apparently, an accident happened in your Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department. Several people died."
"But why the heck should we bring on a student of the refining department? To help us maintain magical equipment? We won't need it. This operation won't last for a very long time. At most, it'll take a day and a night. As soon as the situation goes bad, we will retreat. The wear and tear on our magical equipment won't be too critical. Also, we can do the simpler maintenance ourselves!"
"That's right. Bringing an extra support member is just an extra burden. We will need to split our gains with him when we kill demon beasts. Do we have to bring him on?"
The female sniper Bei Jingjing spoke coldly.
The buff and sturdy firepower user, Chunyu Peng, was nodding his head over and over.
Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan were all young geniuses of the north with quite the reputation. They had heard rumors of them. They were assured by the power of Grand Desolate War Institution's Combat Department. Therefore, they were willing to team up with them.
But a freshman of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department?
What was the point of bringing such a person?
