Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Roar!
Equally shocked were the crocodile and the bull-headed monsters. The two behemoths were so afraid of Ling Jiu that they hesitated.
“I haven’t had enough fun yet. Why you two flinch so quickly? Come one!”
Ling Jiu utilized his Blink Arcana and appeared in front of the bull-headed monster. He swung his 40-meter war blade down, cutting the bull-headed monster in half.
Now the crocodile monster was the only one left. It looked at Ling Jiu, and it was terrified. Turning around and running, it wanted to flee the place for good.
“Running away? Too late, dude!”
Ling Jiu sneered. He suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled.
A whirlpool formed in front of him. A terrifying swallowing force swept out of the whirlpool to devour the crocodile monster.
The crocodile monster ran as fast as it could, but the swallowing force pulled it back. Instead of it moving forward, it was sliding backward towards the whirlpool slowly.
Damn it! It is difficult to swallow this thing with The Devourer without its full package.
Ling Jiu cursed in his mind. He suddenly appeared above the crocodile monster and performed a Dimensional Shackle to subdue the monster.
The crocodile monster stopped struggling, and Ling Jiu could now easily send it into his Inner World.
Boom!
Massive fire rose and instantly enveloped the crocodile monster. It struggled frantically in the fire as it tried to escape. But where could it go?
The Inner World was so vast that there was a fire on the ground and in all other directions, there was fire raging, much like the surface of a star.
It had no way to run.
At last, the crocodile monster was burned to ashes, becoming a mass of energy after experiencing the most painful moment of its life.
It was also a pure form of vitality.
“Absorb!”
Ling Jiu willed with his mind, and this vitality dispersed into his body. His physique was strengthened again.
“Not bad.”
Ling Jiu became more satisfied with the ability of the Inner World. He then withdrew his consciousness from the Inner World and turned his eyes to the remaining three monsters.
Keep them?
Eat them?
“I will keep them for now! They are just monsters that are comparable to Class 8 Direbeasts and have limited usefulness. I better use them to redeem points and then leave this goddamn place—the earlier, the better.”
“Are you okay, Ling Jiu?”
Bai Ya came over just as Ling Jiu was deep in thought.
“What do you think?” Ling Jiu came out of his daze and smiled. “Are you okay?”
Bai Ya shook her head and then looked at the carcasses of the three monsters. “Thanks to you. Otherwise, what we have achieved for the past two weeks would have been in vain.”
“Yup!”
Ling Jiu stored the three carcasses with a wave of his hand. “These monsters’ behavior was strange. They seemed to be coming for the Arcana trees.”
“You’re right.” Bai Ya nodded. “They ran non-stop toward our forests the moment they emerged. I tried desperately to stop them, but they ignored me and kept moving closer to the forest.”
“Could it be that...”
Ling Jiu suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Do you mean...” Bai Ya seemed to have thought of something.
“It seems that we have the same idea.”
Ling Jiu’s brows eased up. “If this is the case, they will definitely come again, and with increased intensity.”
Bai Ya frowned. “In that case, do you think we can stop them?”
“Of course, we can.”
Ling Jiu wore a smile of confidence. “I’m not afraid of them invading. I am just scared that they won’t come. My war blade is raring to go.”
Just then, a shrill broke through the air from afar. Ling Jiu and Bai Ya followed the sound and saw two figures moving at high speed coming from the horizon.
One was stepping on rocks...
The other was walking on a sword.
They were extremely fast, much like two supersonic fighter jets.
In fact, they had broken the sound barrier. Mars’ atmosphere was thinner than that of Earth, and air resistance was much lower, making it easier to break the sound barrier.
“We have other trainees joining us.” Ling Jiu’s mouth curled up slightly. “Those monsters must have attracted them.”
“Yeah.”
Bai Ya nodded in agreement.
The figures arrived. Since they were wearing Venom Suits, their faces were hidden from view.
However, judging by their sizes, both of them should be male and very strong. They were over two meters tall like two gorillas.
The two figures frowned when they saw Ling Jiu and Bai Ya.
“The monsters are gone. Someone is one step ahead of us.”
“Who are they? They are even faster than us? We are the closest to Wormhole 51. Once there is movement, no one is supposed to be faster than us!”
“But they arrived first before us and seemed to have killed the monsters.”
The two looked at each other, apparently not too happy. One of them looked at Ling Jiu. “Bro, congratulations!”
“Thanks,” Ling Jiu replied.
“This voice” The two looked at each other again. “Can you tell who he is?”
“Nope.”
“I can’t tell either. I have never heard this voice before.”
One person looked at Ling Jiu in surprise. “Are you two new here?”
“That is right.” Ling Jiu nodded.
“Rookies? Could it be these two?”
Their eyes lit up. “Three newcomers came recently. I heard the one named Hao Shuai is working with Ai Xiong, and the other two have teamed up together!”
“In other words, one of these two here is the new camp beauty who has recently caused a stir?”
“Possible.”
“Everyone has been looking for them for the past two weeks. I didn’t expect them to hide in such a goddamn place. They really know how to hide.”
Speaking of this, the two looked at Ling Jiu and Bai Ya. “Hey, can I ask you two something?”
“Yes.” Ling Jiu sounded nonchalant.
“Did you see four monsters around here?”
One person smiled. “Let me be honest with you. We have been chasing the four monsters for a long time, but when we arrived, they vanished. So, I want to find out with you, in which direction did they run?”
Ling Jiu and Bai Ya looked at each other and laughed upon hearing that. These two guys wanted to look for trouble, but their excuse was just too lame.
Ling Jiu pointed in a random direction without much thinking. “We saw the four monsters. They fled in that direction.”
The two veteran trainees gave them an are-you-kidding-me look, as they could clearly see blue blood all over the ground. Apparently, the two had killed the four monsters, yet they said they had run away.
Do you two think we’re dumb or something?
“Hey, bro, you’re not being truthful here.”
One veteran trainee did not bother to pretend to be nice anymore. “You two obviously killed the four monsters. How can you say that they ran away?”
“Why ask since you already know?” Ling Jiu shrugged.
This veteran trainee could not find the words to respond for a moment. He then blew his top. “Stop talking nonsense. Hand over the four monster carcasses immediately. Otherwise...”
“You two finally showed the cloven hoof.” Ling Jiu mocked. “Otherwise, you two will go crazy, go on a rampage, ludicrous, or the tail beast mode?”
“Rookie, you are too arrogant!” the veteran trainee shouted. “Let me tell you, no matter how good you were in the training camp, you are nothing in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp!”
As soon as the voice fell, he casually pointed his hand, and the long sword under his feet pierced through the air, coming in front of Ling Jiu in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the long sword’s motion changed from thrust to slap. That guy did not want to kill Ling Jiu, as he just wanted to teach Ling Jiu a lesson.
“Silly.”
Ling Jiu grabbed the long sword with the flick of his hand, then effortlessly snapped it in half.
With the flip of his wrist, he shot the broken sword out, aiming straight at the veteran trainee’s face.
That veteran trainee was taken aback, hurriedly dodging by tilting his head to one side. The broken sword shot past him and hit the sand on the ground.
“I was expecting something terrific would come from a veteran of the matriculation camp. I didn’t know that you were so wimpy. You are so disappointing!”
Ling Jiu casually threw the other half of the broken sword at the feet of the two.
“Get out of my sight! I am going to sleep with the new camp beauty. I have no time to for this, you two useless trash! Get out of here!”
“How dare you!”
The other veteran trainee was also furious. He willed in his mind and a horrific gravity force swept out, covering a radius of 100 meters in an instant.
“You are too arrogant, rookie!”
This veteran trainee glared at Ling Jiu. “Let me tell you, the matriculation camp is not a place where little kids like you can show off your attitude. Here, you have to be humble even if you are a dragon. Get down on your knees!”
The gravity force suddenly increased. Bai Ya hissed as she bent down, apparently the gravity force too much to bear for her.
Ling Jiu frowned, performing his Gravity Arcana to shield Bai Ya. The suppressive gravity force on Bai Ya disappeared instantly.
“You canceled my gravity?”
This veteran trainee got the shock of his life. But before he could boost the gravity strength further, a more terrifying, more brutal, and more unstoppable gravity fell on him, forcing him to drop to his knees.
“Damn it!”
This veteran trainee bellowed and frantically directed his gravity as he tried to counter Ling Jiu’s. But he found that Ling Jiu’s gravity was far beyond his control range. No matter how hard he counteracted it, the other party’s gravity did not weaken much at all.
“I hate to tell you this, Senior, but this is not the right way to play with gravity. You’re too weak.”
Ling Jiu beckoned with his finger and pressed the other veteran trainee to the ground. “Tell me, what should I do with you two?”
The two veteran trainees say not a word. Not that they did not want to. Just that they could not even open their mouths to talk under the enormous gravity.
Is he really a rookie?
I am a Level 8 Arcanist, and my Arcana Field has a twentyfold increase with a maximum gravity manipulation strength of 320 times. Yet, I can’t even beat a rookie!
Is he the rookie or am I?
The Earth Arcanist was in total despair.
“Say something! Are you two deaf?” Ling Jiu looked at the two. “Aren’t you talking big a while ago? How come you two become mute now?”
“J-Junior!” the Earth Arcanist stuttered, talking with difficulty.
“It was our bad. Please forgive us. Let us go.”
“I was thinking of letting you two go, but it was you two who came looking for trouble. Do you expect me to let you go just like that?”
Ling Jiu sounded unconcerned. “Here is the offer: hand over all your Direbeast carcasses and then transfer all your points to me. I will reluctantly let you two go. How about that?”
“That’s too much!” The two were enraged.
