Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 508 - 296: Reputation System_3

After all, this is a high-grade demon beast at the Spirit Beast level, quite valuable. The materials on its body can be used to refine six or seven-grade Spirit Pills and Spirit Weapons.

"Senior Brother Lu, I’ve already accepted the assisting mission. Shall we head out now or..." Zhang Jue looked at Lu Yu and asked.

Lu Yu stood up and said, "Let’s go. By the way, how many assisting missions did you accept?"

"Seven or eight maybe..." Zhang Jue was a bit hesitant to meet Lu Yu’s eyes. He wanted to hold onto Lu Yu’s advantage, hoping to snag more missions, so he accepted all the ones available at once.

Lu Yu’s brow furrowed slightly, which made Zhang Jue somewhat uneasy, worried that he might be displeased.

Soon, Lu Yu’s furrowed brow relaxed. He initially just wanted to take a few assisting missions casually to flaunt in front of everyone, to showcase his strength. He didn’t expect Zhang Jue to take so many. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But anyway, given Zhang Jue’s team strength, the mission targets they can take on are mostly below the eighth level of Qi Sea Realm, which isn’t very troublesome and can be resolved quickly.

"Let’s go, let me see which missions you took?" Lu Yu said to Zhang Jue.

Seeing that Lu Yu wasn’t angry, Zhang Jue quickly took out his student card, which recorded the tasks he had received. Generally, the contents couldn’t be viewed by others.

However, Zhang Jue granted Lu Yu access, allowing him to see the details of the tasks inside.

With just a glance, Lu Yu had a rough idea. These tasks aren’t particularly difficult; they are just troublesome and time-consuming.

After all, they are assisting missions which involve participating in warfare, so the mission cannot end quickly. But Lu Yu had his own methods.

"Doing it this way just happens to meet my objective." Lu Yu thought.

The group headed to the nearest mission location. Being Martial Cultivators at the Qi Sea Realm, Qi Flight was very easy for them. However, following Lu Yu in Qi Flight was somewhat tiring as they had to exert all their effort to keep up with Lu Yu’s speed.

Lu Yu didn’t do this deliberately, he had already slowed his pace down greatly. However, his slow, compared to others, was still too fast.

The assisting task was to help the Black Dragon Legion in the encirclement of large-scale demon beasts and demonic beings.

The reason Celestial Wind Academy’s students needed to assist wasn’t because the Black Dragon Legion couldn’t handle the mission targets, but rather, there were too many targets. Even a well-trained Black Dragon Legion couldn’t ensure that no target would escape.

Thus, Celestial Wind Academy’s students needed to intercept and slay fleeing targets on the battlefield’s periphery, while more difficult tasks were left to the Black Dragon Legion.

Though the difficulty of the assisting missions wasn’t high, they were comparatively lengthy due to being part of a war, which couldn’t end in a short time.

Unlike the time-consuming assisting tasks, many students at Celestial Wind Academy preferred taking independent tasks. However, the academy required students below them to complete a certain amount of assisting tasks within a set time.

If Lu Yu leads them to complete all the assisting tasks they accepted this time, they wouldn’t need to take assisting tasks for quite a long time.

"This task is all about eliminating demonic priests. A demonic priest is a special demonic being able to control demon beasts. Hidden among the myriad demon beasts, the Black Dragons barely managed to gather the demon beast group that houses the demonic priest together. Our mission this time is to intercept demon beasts fleeing the encirclement. If possible, slay the demonic priest." Zhang Jue told the group.

Everyone directly ignored the last sentence. Anyway, they had no chance of encountering the demonic priest.

Team members tacitly spread out, leaving Zhang Jue and Lu Yu in place. Zhang Jue glanced at Lu Yu without speaking; he didn’t know why the boss wanted to take on an assisting mission, such a thankless task.

Lu Yu looked off into the distance at the scales-armored, magic beast-riding Black Dragon cavalry charging through the demon beast ranks.

The Black Dragon cavalry adopted a gradual eroding approach towards the demon beast hordes, slowly reducing their numbers and leaving no place for the demonic priest to hide.

This approach was out of necessity, as nobody knew what the demonic priest looked like, precluding executing a decapitation strike directly, and rashly charging into demon beast groups was perilous, even for the Black Dragon cavalry.

The capabilities of demon beasts are exceedingly strange; rash actions could incur a heavy loss, leading to potential casualties.

After observing for a while, Lu Yu headed towards the battlefield, with Zhang Jue instinctively wanting to follow, considering advising Lu Yu that they needed only to linger near the battlefield’s edge to play it safe.

After a few steps, he realized that this was the boss; his way of handling things definitely differed from theirs. Thus, he stopped to watch Lu Yu head towards the demon beast group.

The Black Dragon Legion officer leading the squad slaying demon beasts saw Lu Yu approaching and furrowed his brow beneath his helmet.

Strangers approaching the battlefield could easily become entangled in chaotic battle situations, causing casualties, hindering the Black Dragon soldiers’ operations without any benefit.

"Why doesn’t he just stay outside to help with chores? What’s he coming in for!" The officer grumbled internally, signaling others to maintain formation as he rode out towards Lu Yu.
