C13 Absolute Triumph

"Looking at this battle, Chu Lin is clearly at a great disadvantage."

"Why was such a weak Awakened Practitioner assigned to our team?"

"The opponent is far too strong! Since Chu Lin has just awakened not long ago, he must surely not be a match for the other Awakened Practitioner!"

Seeing how Chu Lin had just been taking a massive beating without any form retaliation, the Weiyang team felt extremely disappointed and helpless.

Having suppressed Chu Lin the entire time in this battle, Sha Lie clearly held the upper hand.

At this moment, Sha Lie seemed to be getting irrirated and resorted to his trump card.

"I'll let you know the difference between our power! Demonic Slash!"

Sha Lie shouted loudly. As a think layer of dark aura surrounding his claws, he slashed it down on Chu Lin's body.

Seeing how Chu Lin never retaliated in any sort of way since the beginning, Sha Lie began to let his guard down.

He failed to realize that Chu Lin was actually not being suppressed by him, but instead, he did not even fight back to begin with.

Using his newly-extracted skill, [Tenacity], Chu Lin planned find an opening to extract the genes from Sha Lie since the beginning.

With Sha Lie's gene successfully extracted — albeit incomplete — Chu Lin no longer saw any use for Sha Lie.

Thus, Chu Lin no longer had any plans of holding back his strength.

"This is bad! The opponent's Awakened Practitioner has activated his skill!"

"It's all over... No matter how tough Chu Lin is, it will be impossible for him to resist even a single ability from an Awakened Practitioner who had completed his first gene chain."

"If Lord Ning Feng was here, he would have definitely been able to defeat this opponent, but it's a pity that trash like Chu Lin was assigned to our team instead…"

Once again, the cowards from Weiyang wailed in a state of hopelessness. Awakened Practitioners who could activate their skills should have completed at least one gene chain. Comparing the two's strength would essentially be equivalent to comparing that of heaven and earth.

In Weiyang's previous fierce battle, if not for one of the Awakened Practitioners having to use his skill to kill three of the Blood Devouring Ants, Weiyang would have suffered even greater losses.

Now that Sha Lie had cast his skill, Chu Lin's death would surely be imminent.

Once Chu Lin suffers his defeat, what could ordinary soldiers like them do to defend themselves? Without any abilities to fight back, what would the difference between them and lambs waiting to be slaughtered?

"What are you jumping towards me for? I'll blow your head up!"

Chu Lin let out a cold snort. Though faced with a powerful attack, he had no intention of dodging it. Instead, he did the unthinkable and threw a normal punch in retalitation.

*Crash!*

At that instant, Sha Lie's head exploded like a water balloon as blood splattered everywhere on the field.

Sha Lie was already dead before his skill had even landed on Chu Lin.

It was just as Chu Lin said.

He would blow his head up.

Without any mercy, he killed Sha Lie on the spot.

Silence.

Everyone — whether the members of Hu Biao's or Sha Meng's team — witnessed this scene first-hand.

They all gaped their mouths wide open and stood petrified in place.

No one could have imagined the Chu Lin, who seemed to be taking a massive beating, to actually turn the battle around and killed Sha Lie instantly with a single punch even when Sha Lie unleashed his strongest skill.

"This... This is impossible!"

"Lord Sha Lie!"

"You actually dare to kill our Awakened Practitioner! Central Royal City will never forgive you!"

In a moment of shock and panic, the members of Sha Meng shouted.

"Huh? Have you ever heard of the saying...?"

Chu Lin sneered with his sharp gaze.

"Dead men... won't talk."

"..."

On the same night, the other teams from Weiyang had returned one after another from their designated areas.

The first team to return was led by Ning Feng. Although the drugs his team recovered were limited, it nevertheless lessened the urgency of their gathering ground's medical needs.

Following that were the teams led by Tie Niu and Hong Moli.

Each of the three small teams received their respective compensations — though it wasn't that much. Even with the medical resources of the three teams combined, it was still not enough to meet up to Weiyang's medical demands.

With the supplies arriving from Central Royal City, however, the mission could very well be considered a success.

"Why isn't Chu Lin back yet?" Han Dong frowned and asked.

Despite waiting at the entrance of the camp for quite a while, he has yet to see any signs of Chu Lin leading his team back.

"Who knows? He must have failed to collect any medicine and not have the face to come back."

Ning Feng said sarcastically.

"Commander, since Area D is the furthest location away from the camp, Chu Lin could very well be on his face back. there's no need for you to worry."

Hong Moli comforted him with a smile.

"Commander, do you want me to go out and assist Brother Chu Lin?"

Tie Niu said in a straightforward manner.

Chu Lin, you have to come back safely!

Yu Zhen, who was at the side, could not help but feel anxious as he worried for Chu Lin's safety.

Just as everyone was discussing, a streak of fiery light appeared in front of them.

"It's Lord Chu Lin. He is back!"

Having noticed the signal flares from afar, the scouts in the camp shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the news, Yu Zhen slowly loosened his grip. Feeling as if a mountian of burden had slipped off his back, he felt relieved as his heart rate returned to normal.

"Hmph, so what if he's back? He probably didn't manage to find anything and wasted his time."

Hearing the news of Chu Lin's return, a trace of menace flashed across Ning Feng's eyes as he said in disdain.

You lucky bastard, how did you not die in Area D?!

"Although this may sound rather negative, it's not likely for Chu Lin to be able to gather a large amount of medcine on his first mission."

Tie Niu said truthfully.

"Since this was his first mission, it's already more than enough for him to return to us safely. In any case, the resources that our teams have gathered should be more than enough to fill the quota."

Hong Moli added in an attempt to soften the atmosphere.

Similar to the others, she did not think that Chu Lin would be able to bring back many resources. After all, the three of them were only able to find this little in a whole.

"With the same allocation of troops as us, what's the point of keeping him in our camp if he still fails to find any resources?"

Ning Feng sneered.

Just as he finished his mockery of Chu Lin, his expression turned ugly the moment he caught sight of Chu Lin's team.

"Oh my god, so many supplies!"

Tie Niu let out an unsual cry. Gaping his eyes wide open in shock, he stared at the returning team in disbelief.

Everyone in that team was carrying a large box, stuffed to the brim with all kinds of medical supplies.

"This... How is this possible!?"

Ning Feng was so shocked that his jaws dropped to the floor.

After looking through all the supplies, they calculated there to be more resources than all the other three teams combined.

"I'm sorry, Commander. Since there are too many resources, we ended up coming back a bit late."

Still covered in blood, Chu Lin walked in front of Hang Dong and reported.

"It's fine, as long as you return safely."

Han Dong's stern face could not help but reveal a hint of joy when he saw the amount of supplies that Chu Lin brought back.

With the heap of medical supplies before him, it would be more than enough for them to hold out for an extremely long time, even if Central Royal City doesn't send them any more supplies for a while.

"Hmm? Chu Lin, you…"

After analyzing the supplies carefully, Han Dong seemed to have noticed that something was off and took the initiative to ask.

"Commander, it's not too convenient here to talk here. Let's go somewhere else."

Chu Lin smiled faintly.

"Alright."

Han Dong replied.

With that, the two of them walked into the barracks together.

Those supplies weren't just the ones he found in Area D.

Instead, half of them were "taken over" by Chu Lin.
