Chapter 830: Rapid Accumulation of Merits

Actually, when the Mongol cavalry charged, the group of martial artists right at the back were the ones who had it easiest. Watching the Mongol cavalry ride away, they stayed put, exclaiming how lucky they were! Only a few quick-witted ones chose to follow, summoning their mounts and chasing after the Mongol cavalry.
But after dozens of them were knocked down by a barrage of arrows from the pursuing Mongol cavalry, these people became cautious.
However…
The situation took a turn at that moment.
Over 200 Mongol cavalrymen suddenly separated from the main force.
These people became restless again!
“Quick, launch hidden weapons!”
Hundreds of players gathered excitedly…
But when they sent a deluge of arrows and hidden weapons, they found that they all deviated from their intended paths. Although the attacks hit the Mongol cavalry, causing many of them to fall off their mounts and half of the 200 cavalrymen to go down instantly, it felt very strange— the arrows and hidden weapons seemed to converge in the air as if controlled by an invisible hand, redirecting themselves toward new targets, seemingly unrelated to them.
The group stopped, looking at each other in confusion.
Then, someone finally noticed the flashes of sword light moving among the dwindling Mongol cavalry, like blooming flowers of death, continuously taking down the surviving Mongol warriors.
“That person…”
“He killed the commander of ten thousand men.”
“Hiss… Could what just happened be related to him?”
“Nonsense, who else but him? It can’t possibly be the Mongol cavalry doing this… Didn’t you get any merits?”
“…” The group shook their heads.
Finally, someone in the crowd recognized the swordsmanship among the rapidly decreasing Mongol cavalry: “Such fast swords! Look, doesn’t it resemble Happy’s style…”
Boom!!
With that single sentence, the crowd erupted in excitement, many with shocked expressions:
“It must be him. Aside from a master at the Liberation Realm, who would dare to charge into a group of Mongol cavalry alone?”
“The technique just now must be ‘Stars in Motion’… So powerful! He redirected all our attacks elsewhere… He probably got all the merits by himself.”
“If it’s him, there’s no point in fighting anymore.”
Even the masters who had planned to join the fight retracted their thoughts and became cautious.
…
On another battlefield in the grasslands, thousands of top experts from the First-Class Hall dominated the entire field!
It was also a clash between the Central Plains army and the Mongol cavalry. Although the Mongol cavalry numbered only 2,000, the battle atmosphere was unusual…

A creature with its entire body covered in dead black, lusterless fur charged recklessly through the Mongol cavalry. The ground was littered with various poisons, and almost all the horses had been torn to pieces. The Mongol cavalry was forced to dismount and fight—this creature charged headlong at the armed Mongol warriors, ignoring the axes and swords aimed at it. It wouldn’t dodge even attacks on vital areas, as long as it wasn’t the head! Its “Great Heaven Shift” ability could easily move its vital points to other locations, allowing it to weaken enemy attacks or deflect them. Although it consumed a lot of internal energy, the high-grade pills provided by Yipin Tang for this creature were truly generous… With each attack, several Mongol cavalry members were eliminated. “Prepare a buffer zone to prevent the Central Plains army from interfering,” said the sinister Wolf, riding on his horse, surrounded by Yipin Tang’s experts, closely monitoring the situation and issuing orders from time to time: “Tell the men below—don’t touch a single Mongol cavalryman!” … Behind the main camp, many factions had sent people to monitor the data. But since the army set out in the early morning, the battle achievements ranking had seen rapid fluctuations, and these changes were frequent. The experts monitoring the data were extremely excited. Across the entire ranking, aside from a few whose scores changed slowly, most were rapidly accumulating battle achievements. Especially the top experts at the forefront saw their scores soar at an astonishing pace—it was as if they were in a 100-meter dash competition. In less than half an hour… even the lowest-ranked one had gained nearly 2,000 points in battle achievements. With yesterday’s experience, the top factions developed more effective tactics and applied them fully. Yipin Tang’s creature’s battle achievements soared from just over 4,000 to nearly 8,000, almost reaching 9,000. Yin Hu and Lu Mingyue progressed more slowly but still impressively, breaking through 8,000, with their scores rising faster and faster… Meng Yun, Xue Yi, Feng Wu Cai Yi, Bao Long, Mo Mo, Lei Zhan, Xiao Bei, Hong Chen, Mei Ying—each of them quickly surpassed 6,000 and neared 7,000. In contrast, “Langya” and “Kuang Feng Xue Yu,” who received rewards from the system, saw their scores drop back to the bottom of the ranking after exchanging their achievements for cavalry.

Those behind lack the absolute support of gang forces, so naturally they can’t match the speed of those in front. Yet their individual strategies and tactics shouldn’t be underestimated. At this rate of earning combat merits, they could definitely reach the rank of squadron leader within three to five days.
As for the top spot…
Everyone knows there’s no suspense at all.
Yipin Tang, which had planned to overtake them after dawn, felt a deep sense of powerlessness upon seeing the five-digit number on the rankings, which kept soaring relentlessly…
Happy, with just over 7,000 combat merits in the early morning, was only slightly ahead of Huangsha by 3,000 merits. But now, Happy already had over 18,000 combat merits, and judging from the trend, he was on track to break through 20,000, widening the gap to five digits—how could they not feel powerless?
…
The ones left behind in the Mu family to monitor the data were the Lonely Three Wolves, who volunteered for the task.
Since turning the “Nanhu Jianghu Ranking” into the campus version for the entire south, the three of them became famous, with various brands reaching out for collaborations. Now considered billionaires among young students, they hardly had time to practice every day. But not wanting to fall too far behind the others, they simply took turns monitoring the data.
“What’s the situation now?”
After receiving a message from Nuomi via carrier pigeon, Bai Lang, who was in charge of staying behind, glanced at the rankings and quickly entered some data…
Those hundreds of miles away received the information in time.
Yin Hu had completed his first batch of kills, and the news also reached him.
“Great!”
After a pause, a hint of softness flashed in Yin Hu’s eyes beneath his resolute and cold silver mask:
“The squadron leader only needs a little over 17,000 combat merits. Happy has already completed his task ahead of schedule. We need to push harder too. By dealing with this batch of Mongol cavalry, Feng Wu Cai Yi and I should both meet the requirements…” A batch of Mongol cavalry totaled 2,000 enemies, meaning over 20,000 combat merits.
“That’s right! As long as Langya and Kuangfeng Xueyu don’t fill their cavalry quotas, we’ll be the first to trigger a major task!”
Feng Wu Cai Yi was equally confident.
