Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: BluVerse

The entire battle lasted less than a minute, during which over fifty Source Dragons were defeated. Among them was a level six Source Dragon, which met its demise at her hands.

Retrieving the dragon source crystal, Tang Yuge shook off the metallic residue from the Source Dragon. She then soared back into the air, her mecha transforming into a fighter jet and rejoining the team.

“Yuge, your Divine Metallic Light, derived from the Great Five Elements Divine Light, has become even more formidable,” praised Lan Xuanyu.

Tang Yuge, however, didn’t show much excitement. “The Divine Metallic Light isn’t as effective against other creatures, but it does indeed counter Source Dragons.”

Yin Metal Divine Light turned even the toughest steel into malleable material. When infused with metal, it dissolved the Source Dragons. Its effect surpassed even the direct use of the Great Five Elements Divine Light. Moreover, the abundant metal element in this area allowed Tang Yuge to replenish her own energy using Yin and Yang Metal Divine Lights. On Dragon Source Planet, her sustained combat power was unmatched.

Ironically, Lan Xuanyu was somewhat weakened here. The planet mainly featured earth and metal elements, with metal not under his control. Only earth element manipulation was possible for him. As a result, he couldn’t unleash elemental storms using a single element. Different battlefields allowed soul masters to exhibit varying levels of combat prowess.

The sweeping operation against mid to low level Source Dragons began. The Thirty-Three Skywing teams, each with an average combat power above the sixth ring, consisting of two-word battle armor masters and equipped with Skywing mechas, possessed overwhelming killing force against these dragons.

If viewed on a large-scale radar, the Source Dragon gathering areas would gradually shrink as small patches disappeared.

When encountering larger groups of Source Dragons, several Thirty-Three Skywing teams would join forces for the cleanup.

At the Dragon Source Planet base command center, Lei Junze quickly received the news.

Wang Tianyu had already been arranged to rest, and Lei Junze had no authority to inquire about the Pavilion Master’s plans.

However, Lei Junze was now aware of Lan Xuanyu and his team’s approach. These junior disciples weren’t rushing to complete their tasks; instead, they focused on clearing out the Source Dragons.

“Commander, what should we do with our cleanup teams?” the adjutant asked with a wry smile. He had just received reports that several cleanup teams encountered “friendly forces” during their Source Dragon encounters. These allies swiftly annihilated the dragons, seized the dragon source crystals, and departed.

“Since their efficiency is high, let them continue hunting,” Lei Junze replied with a smile.

“But, Commander, our cleanup teams might feel resentful,” the adjutant pointed out.

Lei Junze waved his hand. “The Thirty-Three Skywing Squadron’s purpose isn’t to clear peripheral Source Dragons. They have their own mission and won’t stay too long. Let’s give our cleanup teams a few days off.”

“Understood!”

The deputy officer went down to issue orders, and Lei Junze's face revealed a faint smile.

Thirty-Three Skywings, that's a very clever choice indeed!

Quickly sweeping the Source Dragons near the base and gradually expanding outward. The most direct benefit was to obtain Dragon Source Crystals, which could be exchanged for points for the Sky Fighters Ranking. But there was also a potential intention behind it.

Source Dragons on the Dragon Source Planet were like a cyclic process, with new ones born as others died. Typically, when the number of Source Dragons near the base reaches a certain level, Source Dragons from afar will gather. These Source Dragons seemed to have their starting point in that waving area, which was like the lair of the Source Dragons.

Theoretically speaking, the birth of Source Dragons definitely required a process, and a process required time. Hunting peripheral Source Dragons, reducing their numbers, and mobilizing the Source Dragons in the mist undoubtedly decreased the number of Source Dragons inside the mist. This made their exploration tasks relatively easier afterward. Killing two birds with one stone.  It was naturally a good tactic.

As the commander, Lei Junze immediately saw Lan Xuanyu's intention. This plan was simple but practical. As the Lord said, this junior brother of his was indeed not a reckless person.

However, Lei Junze was still taken aback when he received the report after the first day of sweeping. Thirty-Three Skywings handed over more than three thousand Dragon Source Crystals. Yes, in just one day, they killed over three thousand Source Dragons.

Among them, there were as many as fifteen Level Seven Dragon Source Crystals and over seventy Level Six Dragon Source Crystals. The rest were all at least Level Three or above. They didn't even bother killing the most common Level One or Two Source Dragons.

Three thousand Dragon Source Crystals, this was quite a considerable amount of Sky Fighter points! Even if divided among thirty-three people, it was still a substantial number.

After returning and resting, five hours later, Thirty-Three Skywings set out again. Continuing the sweep!

All the sweep teams at the Dragon Source Planet base had already withdrawn; their operational radius was limited. Sweep teams generally consisted of armored vehicles, mecha teams, and some heavy weapons for ground combat. Energy supply was an issue.

But Thirty-Three Skywings didn't have this problem. With the high-speed flight of their fighter jets, they didn't even have to worry about flying back from anywhere on the Dragon Source Planet. They were so fast!

The Dragon Source Planet base also had fighter jets, but Source Dragons could also fly. Encountering flying Source Dragons was still a very dangerous matter. But for Thirty-Three Skywings, this problem naturally didn't exist. Encounter, kill directly. Their individual combat capabilities were beyond comparison.

On the first day, with a short initial combat time, they obtained three thousand Dragon Source Crystals.

On the second day, five thousand!

On the third day, as they became more familiar with the combat methods against the Source Dragons, they made adjustments themselves. In the end, they harvested six thousand.

In just three days, Thirty-Three Skywings had obtained nearly fifteen thousand Dragon Source Crystals. This sweeping speed was almost catching up with the usual monthly harvest of the base.

It wasn't the time for the Source Dragon Tide, so they didn't encounter Level Eight Source Dragons. But even so, they truly earned a large sum of Sky Fighter points this time.

It was important to note that after completing the low-level tasks on the Dragon Source Planet, they were not allowed to repeat the same task. Lan Xuanyu and the others were essentially using the guise of Level Five task to perform low-level tasks. However, the quantity of this sweep was indeed too large, akin to exploiting a loophole in the Skyfighter tasks, taking advantage of the opportunity to accumulate a large number of Skyfighter points. After completing the task for three days, Lei Junze finally came knocking at their door.

When he saw Lan Xuanyu, he didn't see any fatigue on this junior brother's face at all. Lan Xuanyu was spirited and looked like he could go into battle at any moment.

"Junior brother, it's about time to stop. You also need to leave some for our sweep teams! Moreover, if your method of killing disrupts the ecological balance of the Dragon Source Planet, I won't be able to explain it!" Lei Junze said somewhat helplessly to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu chuckled, "Senior, rest assured. We are preparing to execute the mission tomorrow. You must have seen through my plan of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Tomorrow, we will start reconnaissance near the mist."

"Alright." Lei Junze patted his shoulder and said, "Junior brother, please understand. Sitting in this commander-in-chief position, I also have a lot of pressure. The Dragon Source Planet must not be compromised, and I also need to balance the brothers below. You've gathered so many Dragon Source Crystals this time, they're all envious."

Indeed, over ten thousand Dragon Source Crystals! What a great accomplishment! No Skyfighter has ever done this before. The newly arrived Skyfighters didn't have the strength, and the teams with the strength couldn't come here to do this!

The squads that took on Level Five Skyfighter tasks also followed the unspoken rules and went directly to complete their tasks.

If Lan Xuanyu and the others weren't deliberately looked after by Lei Junze, they would have been notified to stop hunting on the first day.

The three-day time frame was also the bottom line that Lan Xuanyu speculated Lei Junze had in mind. Sure enough, now he had come looking for them.
