"I choose option two!"
Yang Wu finally made his choice.
Although the physical attributes of a War God were extremely rare, Yang Wu ultimately chose martial arts comprehension.
Because this time, his martial arts comprehension had improved far too much!
Not only had his power increased threefold, but his movement and spear techniques had also reached perfection. Such skills would place him among the top even among the more than three thousand War God-level experts.
Moreover, in Yang Wu's view, as long as there was time or ample resources, physical attributes could continuously improve, whether in simulators or in reality.
However, improving martial arts comprehension required opportunity!
Whether it was the breakthrough in movement techniques he had just achieved in reality or the various breakthroughs in the simulator, most of the time it was due to chance. The chances of replicating such experiences in the future were extremely slim.
...
The moment Yang Wu made his choice, countless combat experiences, insights into various spear and movement techniques, and power generation techniques immediately flooded his mind.
His mind suddenly contained many spear and movement techniques he had never practiced before, and he had completely mastered them.
"The second level of 'World Annihilation'!"
Yang Wu immediately understood the origin of these spear techniques and movement skills.
In the simulator, Yang Wu had purchased the first three levels of the "World Annihilation" spear technique. Unfortunately, if Yang Wu wanted to use the various spear techniques and skills beyond the first level, he would probably have to purchase them again in real life.
Three hours later, before dawn, the Phantom Squad quietly left the abandoned service area and headed towards the supply base along the dilapidated highway.
Jiangnan Base City, West Military District.
An officer at the supply base was chatting casually with members of a martial arts squad returning to the martial arts base.
"Old Zhao!"
The bearded officer in the base asked with a smile, "Your team has only been out for a few days, how come you're back so soon? You must have had a big haul!"
"A haul my ass!" The warrior called Old Zhao said with a bitter face, "Our team originally went to the outskirts east of City 023 to hunt monsters, but who knew that the Beast General-level monsters there had already been hunted down, and there were very few of them left. We didn't even encounter many low-level Beast Generals!
What's worse, we originally planned to stay there for a few days until the Beast General-level monsters roamed back, but unexpectedly, someone provoked the nearby mid-level Lord-level Mighty Demon Ape! The beasts under the Mighty Demon Ape's command rioted and ran around in all directions, so we had no choice but to retreat!"
"Hehe, your luck is really..." the bearded man sighed with a smile.
"Brother Wang!" The martial artist surnamed Zhao handed a cigarette to the bearded officer and said, "If you see any powerful martial arts teams returning from City 023 these next few days, let me know. I want to see which team beat them to it!"
Zhao Qiang's Black Wind Squad was quite strong.
The Black Wind Squad had six members, four of whom were War General level martial artists, and the captain was a mid-level War General. Naturally, they were unwilling to be outmaneuvered by another martial arts team.
Although it was unintentional, if the other team was weaker, the Black Wind Squad would naturally need to receive some compensation.
Suddenly, Zhao Qiang's expression changed, and his eyes were fixed on the entrance to the supply base.
"What's wrong?" the bearded officer asked with a smile, turning around to look as well.
"Damn, it's the Phantom Squad!"
Seeing the bulging backpacks behind the Phantom Squad members, the bearded officer could no longer chat with Zhao Qiang.

He stubbed out the cigarette Zhao Qiang had offered him, tossed it on the ground, apologized to Zhao Qiang, and then ran quickly towards the Phantom Squad.
The Phantom Squad rarely came here; if he was slow, he, Wang Tianxing, wouldn't get any of the monster materials they carried.
Zhao Qiang watched helplessly as the Phantom Squad entered the supply base from the direction of City 023, knowing his own squad wouldn't be able to make any money. With the Phantom Squad's strength, even two members could easily wipe out their Black Wind Squad.
With a helpless sigh, Zhao Qiang immediately returned to the rest area to report the news to his captain.
At this time, the Phantom Squad had already reached the entrance of the supply base.
"Old Zhou, you guys have had quite a haul this time!" the gatekeeper asked with a smile. "How about it? Sell the monster materials to our HR Alliance, I'll give you the highest price!"
"Sure thing, sure thing!" Zhou Zheng said with a grin. "Old Qian, our team just got back from the wilderness area, could you arrange a rest stop for us first? Once we've rested, I'll definitely come to you when I sell the monster materials!"
"No way!"
At this moment, the bearded officer and several other staff members rushed over. "Old Qian, you're being too unfair! Captain Zhou and the others just got back, and you're trying to hog all the profits!"
"Yeah, Captain Zhou, Old Qian's price isn't the highest. Why don't you sell the monster materials to us? The price will definitely be higher than Old Qian's!"
"Go away!" the officer surnamed Qian said with a laugh. "The Phantom Squad just got back from the wilderness area, and you guys are already causing trouble. They haven't even rested yet! Old Zhou, come with me, I'll take you to the rest stop!" After
saying that, the officer surnamed Qian was about to take the keys and get up to leave with Yang Wu and the others.
The bearded officer and the others quickly made way for them.
Ultimately, these people were merely procurement personnel from various factions at the supply base, some not even martial artists. They might have been able to harass an ordinary martial artist squad, but they dared not stop the Phantom Squad from resting.
But if they did, wouldn't the monster materials all end up in the hands of the officer surnamed Qian?
The bearded officer gritted his teeth, suddenly stepped forward, and said to Zhou Zheng, "Captain Zhou, please, let's talk in private!"
"Hmm?" Zhou Zheng, unsuspecting, followed the bearded officer to a secluded spot, where the officer quickly explained the Black Wind Squad's search for someone.
Zhou Zheng was startled and immediately asked, "Why is the Black Wind Squad searching for a martial artist squad returning from Base City 023?"
"This…" the bearded officer chuckled hastily.
Zhou Zheng, being a seasoned veteran, quickly said upon seeing this, "Old Wang, don't worry, I guarantee that at least half of the monster materials our Phantom Squad hunted will be sold to you!"
"Only half..." Wang Tianxing felt a slight regret, but he was still happy to tell Zhou Zheng everything Zhao Qiang had told him.
"I see!" Zhou Zheng suddenly realized, "So it was us who influenced their squad!"
"Old Wang, don't worry, I, Zhou Zheng, keep my word!" Seeing the hesitant Wang Tianxing, Zhou Zheng smiled and assured him, "After our squad finishes eating, I'll bring the monster materials to your purchasing point!"
"Okay, okay!" Wang Tianxing quickly said, "I'll definitely be waiting for Captain Zhou at the purchasing point!"
Seeing the Phantom Squad's backpacks piled high, Wang Tianxing finally felt relieved. Even if it was only half, his purchasing quota for this month was secure! He knew the Phantom Squad's rule of only hunting Beast General-level monsters.
