Chapter 12: Combining The Paths Of Spirit Master and Fighter
It was July, and the Australia, located in the Southern Hemisphere, had already entered winter. But even in winter, the average temperature on this continent was between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius, rarely dropping below zero.
"Roar." A dragon's roar seemed to shake the heavens and earth, and the vast mountains trembled violently. A terrifying battle was taking place on the Australia. A giant Azure Dragon over a hundred meters long hovered in the air, with terrifying spirit force raging around it, diving towards another dragon beast.
This was a Purple Dragon, shaped like a winding snake, about two hundred meters long, with a body covered in dark scales, often coiled in the south of the Australia.
The two king-level dragons fought fiercely, with thousands of tons of physical strength rampaging, causing the entire ground to tremble violently.
Shen Mu's Azure Dragon clone let out a long roar, its claws flying, trying to suppress the Purple Dragon.
Like for humans, in close combat monsters who just practiced the fighter path were generally stronger than spirit beasts. Although this Purple Dragon was only at the first stage of the planetary level, its physical strength and genetic energy erupted together, with a force of around three thousand tons, fighting Shen Mu to a standstill for a while.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Narrow bone cones pierced through the air at an extremely fast speed, turning into black rays of light, shooting straight at the Purple Dragon. The Purple Dragon let out a roar, its tail bursting with dazzling purple electric light, sweeping violently and smashing the bone cones away.
But in the next instant, these bone cones seemed to turn into long spears like a huge wave and surged out.
The twelve bone cones were like twelve planetary level second-stage fighters displaying the Artistic Conception level technique. And they cooperated perfectly with each other and almost instantly suppressed the Purple Dragon.
The Azure Dragon roared again, and the sound waves shook the air, forming layers of strong winds. Terrifying spirit force swept out, turning into a spirit shock that instantly stunned the Purple Dragon for a moment.
The speed of the streams of light suddenly increased, and the twelve spear lights seemed to form a spear domain, carrying the momentum of a tidal wave, instantly piercing through the Purple Dragon's body. The winding giant snake, two hundred meters long, smashed into the ground, its vitality gradually dissipating, and finally let out an unwilling wail, dying.
The Azure Dragon nodded in satisfaction, and the twelve bone cones flew back, hovering behind it.
"Integrating spear technique into spirit mastery, my strength has indeed increased greatly."
The basic strength of the planetary level second stage, a 12-fold spirit amplitude, and the Artistic Conception. With these three factors combined, among the sea monsters, except for the two beast emperors and the yet-to-be-born Golden Horned Beast, no one was Shen Mu's opponent.
"You, come here." The Azure Dragon looked to the south, and its spirit force spread out, using mental communication. Mental communication was not difficult. In the "Spirit Master Basics" manual, there were explanations about mental communication and beast taming.
A few kilometers away, a black giant ape the size of a small mountain trembled and crawled towards the Azure Dragon, showing its submission.
"In a few days, a group of humans will come to the Australia. I want you to hunt down a human."
"Roar!" The giant ape quickly nodded, showing its attitude.
Now, the entire Australia, besides the Azure Dragon itself, had this newly promoted planetary-level king-level monster. As for the others, they had all been killed by the Azure Dragon in the past few days.
A newly promoted king-level monster, relying on instinct for technique, with genetic energy, could at most unleash a force of six to seven thousand tons. And his true self was now an invincible Wargod, with a maximum spirit power of about 520,000 kg, or over five hundred tons. With a 12-fold spirit amplitude and the Artistic Conception spear technique, he could fight with the Purple Dragon equally. Not to mention the Azure Dragon clone.

At this time, in the elite training camp, Shen Mu was inspecting the goods.
"You really are extravagant, twelve SS-grade spears. Even at the lowest price, each spear is worth about 20 billion yuan." Liu He, who personally escorted the twelve spears, looked at Shen Mu and couldn't help but say.
Shen Mu smiled. "I have to thank Grandmaster for his support. Otherwise, with my current financial resources, I couldn't afford these twelve SS-grade spears."
Initially, when Shen Mu planned to control twelve spears simultaneously with his spirit force, he specifically sought advice from Grandmaster Hong. After hearing Shen Mu's idea, Hong waved his hand generously and directly sponsored Shen Mu twelve SS-grade spears. But the price was that Shen Mu had to repay him with the corpse of a complete king-level monster.
Of course, Hong meant for Shen Mu to hunt king-level monsters after becoming a planetary-level spirit master.
"By the way, what do you need twelve spears for? Even fighters usually only carry two or three weapons." Liu He was very curious about Shen Mu's motive.
Shen Mu didn't hide it. With a thought, his powerful spirit force swept out.
The twelve SS-grade spears immediately hovered in the air, each displaying different techniques, interweaving and cooperating with each other, surging like layers of tidal waves.
For a moment, Liu He felt as if twelve peak Wargods who had understood the Artistic Conception spear technique were attacking together, with an unparalleled tacit understanding.
"Controlling weapons with spirit force to perform combat skills, you are the first in the world to do this. It should be considered a pioneering path of combining spirit masters and fighters. Impressive." Liu He looked at the young man in front of him, his expression somewhat shocked.
The peak of Wargod-level spirit master, controlling twelve spears to perform Artistic Conception techniques, such strength... he didn't even have the confidence to take down Shen Mu in front of him. From when he picked up Shen Mu to come to Hongning Base City until now, it had only been half a year. The speed of his strength improvement was even more than last year's Luo Feng.
"Alright, I've delivered the spears, so I won't disturb you. Although your strength is extremely strong, you must not be careless during this adventure on the Australia. There are king-level monsters on that continent." Liu He finally gave Shen Mu a serious warning, hoping he wouldn't be careless. After all, since the Great Nirvana, the entire Australia had become a paradise for monsters, and no one knew how many dangers still lurked within.
"Yes, thank you, Inspector Liu, for your guidance. I will act cautiously."
"I'm leaving." Liu He waved his hand and turned to leave.

In the blink of an eye, the last few days of July quietly passed.
On August 1st at 9 a.m., a large passenger plane equipped with laser cannons departed from Hongning Base City Airport, heading straight for the Australia.
At 3:27 p.m. that afternoon, on the edge of the wilderness of the Australia, nearly two hundred students began to look for their teammates.
"Brother Shen Mu, do you want to team up?" The tall Chu Qiang walked over.
Shen Mu shook his head and refused: "I'm afraid not this time. My goal is not an ordinary Horde Leader monster, and I will certainly face danger. I don't want to implicate you, Senior Brother Chu Qiang."
"Alright, then I'll team up with Shi Jiang. Be careful this month, and don't be too reckless."
After a brief conversation with a few familiar students, Shen Mu, dressed in black combat gear and carrying sharp spears, disappeared into the depths of the wilderness.
