Chapter 1
Transfer Ceremony, Activating the One-Click Assist System
He had crossed over!
Green Spirit City High School, Year Three Class (3).
In the back row of the class, Lu Benwei looked at the familiar high school form teacher, Mr. Yuan, and the surrounding students with mixed emotions.
A second ago, Lu Benwei, who had just regained consciousness, realized that he had been reborn. He had returned to high school.
Soon, his mind flooded with unfamiliar memories.
Through his memories, he knew that he had not been reborn, but had transmigrated to another parallel world.
The history and development of this world were extremely similar to Earth in his previous life.
The only difference was that 23 years ago, this world was invaded by dungeons from an unknown origin.
Countless powerful monsters surged out of the dungeons, causing great damage to human society.
Fortunately, at the same time, some humans obtained the opportunity to awaken and had powerful abilities to resist the invasion of monsters.
Moreover, after awakening to a certain extent, one could even undergo a Class Advancement or even a Second Awakening and become an existence that guarded an area and was respected by everyone!
Such people were called hunters! They were people who specialized in hunting monsters!
Becoming a hunter was the highest honor in the world.
Through countless experiences of blood and tears, experts who specialized in this area discovered that the best age for humans to awaken was between 17 and 19 years old. The chances of awakening successfully at this age were the highest.
Therefore, after nine years of basic education, the education roadmap of all high schools centered around how to become an excellent hunter.
After three years, the school would hold an awakening ceremony for the students. After the awakening was successful, the final assessment would be carried out. Only by passing the assessment could the students be accepted by the major hunter schools and continue to study and grow into stronger hunters.
At this moment, it was time for the awakening ritual.
"Wang Qiang, awakening successful. Archer-type archery. Congratulations!"
"Next, Zhou Yan."
"Zhou Yan, awaken…"
Spittle flew from the homeroom teacher on the podium.
On the desk in front of him was a fist-sized crystal ball.
As he recited the names, the students in the class walked to the podium one after another and placed their hands on the crystal ball.
Then, some were happy while others were sad. The rest of the students who were not called waited nervously.
"Next, Lu Benwei."
Just as he digested the information in his mind, he heard Mr. Yuan calling his name.
Lu Benwei hurried to the podium. After Mr. Yuan nodded for him to begin, he placed his hand on the crystal ball on the podium.
"What class will I awaken to?"
Looking at the crystal ball in front of him, Lu Benwei was filled with curiosity and anticipation.
This crystal ball was called the Origin Ball. It could detect if a person had the qualifications to awaken. At the same time, it would bestow two initial skills according to individual factors.
It could be considered as giving him a direction for his Class Advancement in the future to prevent him from going astray after successfully awakening.
Awakening took a little time. Lu Benwei waited quietly.
Meanwhile, the students below the stage were discussing.
"What class do you think Lu Benwei will awaken?"
"It's hard to say. After all, awakening is completely random. However, Lu Benwei has always been the top student in the school for the past three years. He must be from a relatively strong class."
"Aren't you contradicting yourself? What does awakening a class have to do with theoretical results? A good result can only help him grow faster in the future, right?"
"Anyway, he gets first place every year. There's nothing to say about that, right? I believe that he can do well in any class!"
"That might not be the case. If he awakens a support class, he'll be at a disadvantage if no one brings him along to level up."
"That's right. The two initial skills obtained during the awakening are too important. They directly determine the future career path. Skill books are expensive and rare. It's impossible to take the path of other professions…"
Just as everyone was discussing what class Lu Benwei would awaken, Lu Benwei felt as if a stream of energy had flowed into his body from the Origin Ball. Then, he heard Mr. Yuan announce his success.
"Lu Benwei, awakening successful…"
However, when he announced the class, Mr. Yuan paused for a moment and looked at Lu Benwei with a complicated expression. Then, he announced in a very disappointed tone, "Support healer type."
"Huh? How come he's a supporter?"
"Oh my god, our school's genius, Lu Benwei, who gets full marks in every exam, is actually in the support class?"
"That's so unexpected. All I can say is that a good theory isn't as good as a good awakening?"
"Well, what a shame…"
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Lu Benwei usually thinks that he's the top student in the school and doesn't like anyone. Now, he has actually awakened the most useless support class, and it's a healing type. Isn't this pure karma?"
"…"
Before Lu Benwei could react, the students below had already started discussing.
After receiving his memories of this world, Lu Benwei knew that his class was not very popular.
Not welcomed among ordinary people, to be precise.
Support-type classes had low damage and low defense in the early stages, so they were very useful.
Supporters in charge of controlling directions would help a little more.
Healers were less popular because their healing might not be as high as the recovery rate of certain classes with self-recovery.
In the early stages, everyone's combat strength was not very high. Basically, no one was willing to bring a useless supporter to fight monsters together.
This made it especially difficult for supporters to level up, and it was even more annoying to not have a high-level supporter.
All in all, it was an endless loop.
"I didn't expect that I, a transmigrator, would awaken a support class with the protagonist's script. Furthermore, it's the most unpopular healing type."
Lu Benwei was more or less disappointed with the results of his awakening, but he only muttered to himself and did not show it.
Calmly, he returned to his seat.
[Ding! One-click support system successfully activated!]
[Detected that the host has successfully awakened. The two initial skills have been upgraded to the highest quality!]
[The Beginner's Gift Bag has been issued. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a ten-fold gain buff (experience, drop rate, and gold coins). The duration of the buff is: Permanent.]
[The system will issue missions at intervals according to the host's situation. If you complete the mission, you'll receive a generous reward.]
As soon as he sat down, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind. Lu Benwei was stunned.
Immediately, he was overjoyed!
System!
A bookworm of ten years, Lu Benwei was familiar with the system.
This was practically a standard transmigrator cheat.
With the system, would he be able to take off now?
Chapter 2
Final Assessment, Entering the Mystic Realm
"Alright, students, the awakening ceremony of our class has been completed. A total of 36 people in the class have successfully awakened. The rest of you who have yet to awaken, don't be discouraged. Our society's infrastructure and economy also need your contribution!"
"Students who have successfully awakened, remember to come to school tomorrow morning to participate in the final assessment."
"Class dismissed!"
After saying that, the form teacher, Mr. Yuan, left with the Origin Ball.
The classroom immediately erupted.
The students who had successfully awakened and obtained their desired class advancement were overjoyed, looking for others to share their joy.
Those who did not awaken successfully or did not awaken their preferred class were depressed.
However, more people gathered and pointed at Lu Benwei. There was no need to listen to what they were saying. Lu Benwei knew that most of their topics were related to their awakened class.
To be honest, without the system, Lu Benwei would have despised his class.
Now…
He did not bother to explain. He packed up and left the school.
When he got home, his parents, for once, were not working overtime. A large table of delicacies was waiting for him.
"You're back. How was it? Did you successfully awaken at the awakening ceremony today?"
Seeing him return, his parents immediately surrounded him and asked with concern.
Lu Benwei smiled faintly and said truthfully, "It worked, but it's only a support healer type."
"Supporter..."
Both parents were a little absent-minded, but they quickly returned to their smiling and kind appearance.
His mother said, "It's okay, Son. Although the support class is weak, it doesn't deal with the frontlines. It's safe to stay behind."
His father said, "That's right. After all, it was a successful awakening. There's no problem becoming a civil servant in the future. Like your dad, I'm still doing pretty well, right?"
"Yes, Dad, Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Lu Benwei comforted his parents.
Actually, he knew that his parents were both in the support class. Although they had a relatively stable job because of this, they still hoped that he could awaken a combat class. After all, the latter was more glorious, instead of spending the rest of their lives cooped up at the bottom, at the mercy of others.
However, Lu Benwei could not explain that although he was a supporter, he was not inferior to those from the combat class.
Therefore, he planned to let his parents accept that he was a supporter first. He would think about it later.
To celebrate Lu Benwei's successful awakening, the family of three had a good meal that night. Lu Benwei even drank a little with his father.
After that, his parents shooed him into his room to rest.
There was still the final assessment tomorrow. He had to rest well.
Lying on the bed, Lu Benwei could not help but think of a beautiful figure.
Lu Ziling!
She was the adopted daughter of Lu Benwei's parents. She was Lu Benwei's older sister.
Her parents were good friends with Lu Benwei's parents. Both disappeared shortly after Lu Ziling was born. Lu Benwei's parents could not bear to let such a young child go to the orphanage, so they adopted her.
Whether in her previous life or now, she was an absolute genius.
As she was a year older than Lu Benwei, Lu Ziling had already been accepted by Yanjing University, one of the top three hunter schools in the country.
"Sure enough, you're so good in any world. I wonder when I'll see you again?"
Lu Benwei muttered as the intimate memories of the two of them gradually fused together.
Lu Benwei became extremely determined.
'In this life, I have the system. I'll definitely become the strongest hunter!'
"Surely it will surprise you when we meet again?"
The corners of his mouth turned up at the thought, and he drifted off to sleep.
…
The next day.
Lu Benwei arrived at the school.
Under the organization of the former teacher, Mr. Yuan, the 36 people who had successfully awakened yesterday gathered on the field with the students from the other classes.
First came the principal's speech, long and dry.
After that, the Head of the Year walked up, took out a black item that looked like a token, and threw it on the ground.
A second later, the token hit the ground and immediately turned into a plume of smoke.
Then, the smoke cleared to reveal a dimensional portal.
This was the content of this assessment: a small mystic realm.
When the dungeon invasion occurred, it also brought great opportunities to the human world.
Not only did the recovery of spiritual energy allow most people to have the qualifications to awaken their professions, but many mystic realms also appeared because of the fusion of different dimensions.
There were countless possibilities in the mystic realm. Some contained powerful ferocious monsters where one would definitely die if one entered. Some had more experience, higher combat skills, or even divine-level skills or reincarnation opportunities…
In short, anything was possible.
In the mystic realm, one only needed to have a crystal from a monster.
Among them, some small realms that could be opened repeatedly only contained low-level monsters. They were used as assessment grounds for students who had just awakened.
"Alright, it's almost time for our class. This is the time to test the results of your three years of learning. I won't say anything else, but there's one thing you must remember. Although the monsters in the mystic realm are low-level, there's still a certain degree of danger. Therefore, my suggestion to you is to enter in groups and strive for everyone to come out alive."
Mr. Yuan was giving his final instructions. The students were already familiar with the rules, so they immediately formed more than ten teams in twos and threes.
Lu Benwei was the only one standing alone. No one came to team up with him.
He had no choice. After all, he had awakened the most useless support class.
When Mr. Yuan saw this situation, he only sighed and shook his head. He had no intention of comforting him.
No matter how much he liked Lu Benwei for being the top student in the school for three consecutive years, his awakened class was useless. He could not force the other students to form a team with Lu Benwei, right?
'Wouldn't that be putting other people's lives at risk?'
Lu Benwei did not care about this at all.
When it was finally their turn to enter the mystic realm, he followed behind his classmates and received a standard iron sword at the entrance before entering.
The scene changed.
A second later, Lu Benwei appeared on a huge platform.
There were many classmates around.
This was the only safe place in the mystic realm. It was protected by an array formation.
During the assessment, if they encountered danger, as long as they could escape to the platform, the monsters would be isolated by the array formation.
After all, it was only an assessment. The school's goal was to test the results of the students' studies over the past three years, not to really send them to their deaths.
Looking at the surrounding students, most of them were waiting for their companions who had yet to enter, to form their teams. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Lu Benwei did not have a team, so he left the platform and strode in a random direction.
Chapter 3
First Encounter with A Monster, Crazy Level Up
Outside.
All the teachers of Green Spirit City High School were gathered in a spacious classroom.
Everyone gathered in a circle.
Between them, a huge holographic projection showed the situation in the mystic realm.
This was one of the benefits of a repeatable mystic realm as a place for the school's assessment.
On one hand, as long as they had the corresponding token, they could enter such a mystic realm infinitely. They could let powerful hunters enter and kill all the high-level monsters first, leaving the low-level monsters for the students to practice on.
On the other hand, after development, they could set up a safe area like the array formation platform to ensure the safety of the students.
At the same time, they could also set up surveillance cameras inside so that the teachers outside could clearly observe the students' performance.
Less than ten minutes had passed since the assessment.
However, many students had already fled to the safety zone and were forced to withdraw from the assessment.
There were even casualties.
Many students had already awakened successfully, but because their theoretical knowledge was not solid and it was their first time facing monsters, they were flustered and could not use their initial skills to deal with them.
"This is too outrageous! What have these students learned? If they can't even deal with such simple difficulties, what should they do when they really face powerful dungeon monsters in the future?"
A teacher finally could not stand it anymore and cursed.
The other teachers' expressions were also very ugly.
"Sigh, after all, they only learned theoretical knowledge in the past. Today is their first time facing monsters, so inevitably, that they can't react in time."
"Hmph! I think some people don't even have good theoretical knowledge! Look at this three-person team. With a combination of warrior, knight, and archer, they can easily take down a level-five monster, let alone a level-one monster!"
"But look at them. What are they doing? The archer turned and ran. The warrior didn't even look at his teammates' positions and charged forward in his fury. And this knight, when he ran, he provoked them. Is he tired of living?"
…
The group of teachers pointed at the performance of the students in the mystic realm.
Suddenly…
On the holographic map, a dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky, attracting the attention of all the teachers in a heated discussion.
Although the beam of light flashed, every teacher looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Is… Is this an upgraded beam of light?"
"How long has it been? Someone upgraded already?"
"No way. These students all entered at level one. If they want to level up, they must kill at least five level-one monsters. How can anyone be so fast?"
"Quick, lock onto that position just now. I want to see who is so monstrous!"
The teacher controlling the projection immediately identified the surveillance camera at the location of the beam of light and followed it.
In the next second, Lu Benwei's figure appeared on the holographic projection.
"It's him?!"
Lu Benwei's form teacher, Mr. Yuan, exclaimed.
"Mr. Yuan, do you know this student?" The principal immediately looked at Mr. Yuan with a burning gaze.
"No, impossible."
Mr. Yuan subconsciously shook his head and replied to the principal, "Principal, this student is Lu Benwei, the top student in the school in every exam. However, his awakened class is a support healer type. No one has teamed up with him in this assessment, so it's impossible for him to advance so quickly."
"Oh? So, it's Lu Benwei."
Obviously, all the teachers present, including the principal, knew Lu Benwei's name. When they heard that Lu Benwei had awakened a support class, all of them revealed looks of disbelief.
Someone asked, "Mr. Yuan, did you remember wrongly? Maybe Lu Benwei has awakened a combat class?"
"It can't be wrong. At that time, the Origin Ball showed the support class," Mr. Yuan said with certainty.
The teachers immediately fell into deep thought before guessing.
"Could it be that this student obtained some powerful initial skill when he awakened?"
"It's possible. After all, the result given by the Origin Ball is only the direction of this student's Class Advancement, but it won't reveal his initial skills."
"Even if I obtained some impressive initial skill, since it's determined to be a healing type class, this skill should be a healing type skill, right?"
"Well…"
Everyone was a little confused.
In the end, the principal said, "Alright, since everyone has doubts, let's lock onto this child and see how he deals with the monsters. I believe the answer will be revealed soon."
…
Meanwhile, that dazzling beam of light was also discovered by many students in the mystic realm.
In that instant, everyone's hearts seemed to stop.
'Upgraded already?'
'Just when most people are still running for their lives?'
A huge question mark appeared in everyone's hearts.
Lu Benwei had no idea that he had become the center of attention.
At this moment, he was overjoyed.
Time went back ten minutes.
Not long after he left the safety platform, he encountered the first monster in his life.
This monster was only level one. After discovering Lu Benwei, it instantly pounced on him.
At first, Lu Benwei was a little flustered.
However, his theoretical results were always first place. He quickly calmed down and recalled what he had learned in class about the characteristics of this monster and how to deal with it. It did not take long for him to be able to handle the monster's attack with ease.
At the same time, he discovered something surprising. That was his initial skill!
Lu Benwei's two initial skills were [Barbarian Bloodline] and [Minor Healing].
[Barbarian Bloodline (passive)]: When you're injured, you can recover five (x current level) health points within five seconds. The overflowing health points can be converted into an equivalent shield. When you're injured, your shield value will be first deducted.]
[Minor Healing (active)]: When cast on a target, instantly restore one percent of the target's maximum health (x current level). Cooldown: five seconds. Overflow of health can be transformed into an equivalent shield. When injured, the shield value will be first deducted.]
However, after the adjustment of the system, the effects of the two skills were now very different.
[Barbarian Bloodline (passive)]: When you're injured, you can recover 9,999 (X's previous level) health points within one second. The overflowing health points can be converted into an equivalent shield. When you're injured, your shield value will be first deducted.]
[Minor Healing (active)]: When cast on a target, instantly restore 100% of the target's maximum health (X's previous level). Cooldown: one second. Overflow of health can be converted into an equal-sized shield. When injured, the shield value is first deducted.] 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝙤𝙢
This meant that even if Lu Benwei stood still and let the monster hit him, the effect of [Barbarian Bloodline] alone would make the monster's hands hurt.
Therefore, Lu Benwei, who had no worries at all, ignored the monster's attack and stabbed it to death with the iron sword in his hand.
Then the system's voice came.
[Ding! Congratulations on killing a level-one monster. You have triggered 10 times experience and 10 times gold coins.]
[You've risen to level three!]
Good lord, he had risen two levels.
Lu Benwei looked at the other monsters not far away with a perverted glint in his eyes.
In the next half an hour, pillars of light kept shining in the mystic realm.
Lu Benwei gradually reached level six.
Chapter 4
Experience Zone? The Students Are Restless
It was numbing to say the least.
Be it the teachers who were paying attention to the situation in the mystic realm or the students who were still participating in the assessment in the mystic realm, they were all numb.
It had only been forty minutes since they entered, but six pillars of light were already coming from the same direction.
Those students were okay.
In the depths of the mystic realm, they only knew that these pillars of light lit up from the same direction. They thought that the members of the same team had just leveled up one after another.
However, the teachers outside had really seen these pillars of light continuously shoot out from Lu Benwei's body within half an hour!
This was simply monstrous!
Now, the teachers were no longer discussing what kind of initial skill Lu Benwei had awakened because they could not tell at all.
In their eyes, Lu Benwei was an existence that could crush everything in the mystic realm after reaching level three.
This was because in this mystic realm, monsters were generally between levels one to five.
The higher the level of the monster, the rarer it was.
In any case, up until now, the monsters that Lu Benwei had encountered were almost all level one and occasionally level two.
However, it was no threat to Lu Benwei.
After all, he was always the first on every test. After defeating the first monster, Lu Benwei was already very familiar with dealing with the monsters.
Therefore, the teachers often saw Lu Benwei encounter monsters. The monsters pounced on him and Lu Benwei killed them!
It was as simple and crude as that.
No matter how experienced these teachers were, they could not tell anything from this battle method.
Thud!
Under the gaze of all the teachers, Lu Benwei's body lit up again.
Level seven…
The teachers no longer cared about the assessment of the other students.
They all held their breaths and stared at Lu Benwei's figure in the holographic projection.
They wanted to see what level this freak would rise to today!
[Ding Dong! Kind reminder: There's still an hour before the assessment ends. Now announcing the current rankings.]
Suddenly, a mechanical female voice sounded throughout the mystic realm.
Immediately after, the entire sky screen in the mystic realm turned into a huge projection. On it was a dense list of students.
No. 1 Lu Bewei: Level seven. Class: Support healing type. Points: 735
No. 2 Qian Bin: Level three. Class: Warrior swordsman. Points: 80
…
"Damn!"
In a dense forest, a burly young man in ragged clothes stared at the rankings in the air. Suddenly, he punched a tree beside him and cursed.
This person was Qian Bin, who was ranked second on the rankings.
His family background was illustrious, and he had been hailed as a young genius since he was young.
However, ever since he entered high school, he had been suppressed by someone for three years!
This person was Lu Benwei.
No matter how hard Qian Bin worked, his results could never surpass Lu Benwei's. He had been number two for three years.
While Qian Bin hated Lu Benwei in his heart, he also deeply despised him.
This was because Qian Bin believed that his family background was tens of millions of times better than Lu Benwei's. As long as he awakened, with the financial support and power of his family, his development would definitely be better than Lu Benwei's.
After all, it was not as simple as talent for a hunter to grow into an existence respected by everyone.
A better family background meant better resources and better opportunities. With these external conditions, many ordinary people had left those peerless geniuses behind.
After knowing that Lu Benwei had only awakened the most useless support class, Qian Bin felt even more disdain for him.
'No matter how good your theoretical knowledge is, it's already extremely difficult for a supporter to advance in the early stages without the support of powerful financial resources. I don't even know if you can last until the Class Advancement ends, so how can you compare to me? 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.𝒸𝑜𝘮
'And not only did I awaken the most popular warrior class, but I also have an illustrious family background. In time, I'll become a shining star!'
In order to trample Lu Benwei under his feet, Qian Bin did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite four students of different classes to form a team.
Apart from the support class, their team included the five major classes. It could be said to be the most perfect combination in the early stages.
It had only been an hour since he came in, but Qian Bin had already advanced to level three. This was even faster than the school's previous records.
Previously, a pillar of light had been rising in Lu Benwei's direction. Qian Bin had seen it too, but he did not care.
This was because in his opinion, those who had the ability to kill monsters after entering the mystic realm were mostly teams with a reasonable line-up and strong individual strength. Such teams were basically five-person teams like his. Therefore, those pillars of light should be members of a certain team leveling up continuously.
Now, after seeing the rankings, Qian Bin could no longer hold it in!
So those light pillars from before were all caused by Lu Benwei's only personal upgrade?
The five of them had worked hard for so long to reach level three.
'As a supporter, there was no one to team up with you at all. How did you level up?
'Did he cheat?'
Once Qian Bin lost his temper, the other four teammates looked at each other. No one dared to speak.
After a long time, one of the guys who was usually close to Qian Bin said tentatively, "Brother Bin, did Lu Benwei cheat? How could he level up so quickly?"
"Can you f*Cking has some brains? This is a mystic realm, not a game!"
Qian Bin, who was already in a bad mood, cursed when he heard this. After cursing, he kicked that person.
That person did not dare to dodge and took the kick forcefully. His expression was as if his parents had died.
"This level is indeed abnormal. Although the monsters here are all low-level, it will still take some time for a person to take down a monster. Moreover, Lu Benwei is a supporter. He has low defense. It's even possible that he can't kill a monster in an hour. How can he be level seven?"
At this moment, another student who was usually more stable said.
As soon as he finished speaking, another person continued, "I remember the teacher in class saying that anything is possible in the mystic realm. Perhaps Lu Benwei was lucky and happened to enter the experience area."
The others fell silent at that.
The experience area was a special existence in the mystic realm.
Not only were there many monsters here, but their defense was also extremely low. They were the kind that would die with a single touch, and they provided more experience than ordinary monsters.
Thinking about Lu Benwei's class and current level, everyone felt that what this person said was completely possible.
At that moment, everyone's breathing quickened, including Qian Bin's.
The experience area!
Those three words alone were enough to make anyone lose their mind.
"Let's go and meet the top student!"
Qian Bin waved his hand and led the team in the direction where the pillar of light that they had noticed previously lit up the most frequently.
There were many who shared their thoughts.
Chapter 5
Killing a Lord-Level Monster, Ten Times the Drop Rate!
The teachers outside quickly discovered that there were more than 300 people left in the mystic realm. They all gathered toward Lu Benwei.
Immediately, the teachers frowned.
"Lu Benwei, it's dangerous."
"What are these people trying to do? Are they trying to surround their classmate?"
"According to the rules of the mystic realm, even if it's a mystic realm assessment, killing each other is allowed. Once you kill a person, you'll obtain all that person's points."
"Alas, the boy is still too high-profile. I just hope he realizes the danger in time and retreats to the safety zone."
Just as everyone was worried about Lu Benwei's situation, a teacher suddenly said, "I'm afraid he can't retreat even if he wants to now."
The other teachers looked over and subconsciously gasped.
"Damn! Three zombie dogs? Why would they appear in the mystic realm?"
"Oh my god! Three level 10 Cerberus! And they're at lord level 10! Principal, I propose to terminate this assessment immediately!"
"I also agree to terminate the assessment. Immediately open the mystic realm's level restriction and let us go in to bring the students out!"
The faces of the teachers changed drastically.
In addition to levels, the strength evaluation of monsters would also be divided into six levels according to the characteristics of monsters of the same level.
Generally speaking, the assessment mystic realm that first awakened students entered would not have any monsters above level five.
Now, a level 10 monster lord has appeared. To a group of level two and three students, this was simply a disaster.
However, the students in the mystic realm were all approaching Lu Benwei's position because of their greed. If all of them rushed over, would they not become these three dogs' food?
The mystic realm assessment usually had a level restriction. Once it was opened, teachers were unable to enter with their level. Once the level restriction was removed, it meant that the assessment had to end.
However, the teachers couldn't care less now. If they did not stop, all the students in this batch of Green Spirit City High School would die.
In the face of the agitated teachers, the old principal was calm. He swept his gaze across the teachers and said faintly, "Look carefully. This Cerberus is already injured. Its strength is less than ten percent. It only has the combat strength of about level eight. Student Lu Benwei is already level seven, so it's not completely impossible for him to win."
"And have you thought about it? The distribution of monsters in the mystic realm is higher the deeper you go. How many levels 6 and 7 monsters have Lu Benwei encountered along the way here? Do you think he has any difficulty dealing with them?"
"Why are there so many little monsters in those famous high schools who can reach level 10 after awakening every year, while there are very few in our Green Spirit City High School who can even reach level five? It's because our mystic realm assessment is too gentle."
"It took me a long time to get the higher-ups to send three Cerberus into the mystic realm. Don't ruin my plan."
The old principal's words made many teachers look at each other.
This was not an accident, but a deliberate act by the old principal?
However, even if the strength of the Cerberus was greatly reduced, Lu Benwei was only at level seven. If he could not defeat this thing, not only would the principal lose a genius, but he would also lose the 300-odd students who had swarmed over from behind. They would all be in danger.
Everyone was torn.
At this moment, the old principal spoke again, "What if… he succeeds?" 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝘮
'Yes?'
'Right. What if it works?'
What that meant was obvious!
The teachers stared at Lu Benwei's figure in the holographic projection, and something called hope gradually ignited in their eyes.
At this moment, Lu Benwei was completely unaware of the old principal's scheme, nor did he know that the other students were all approaching him.
Recognizing the Cerberus in front of him made him feel vaguely excited.
With the [Barbarian Bloodline] and [Minor Healing] enhanced by the system, even if this Cerberus was at its peak, he would not be afraid at all, not to mention that the other party was injured.
This was a monster lord. According to tradition, monsters above the lord level would drop other items besides experience and gold coins after killing them.
Unfortunately, along the way today, all he encountered were ordinary monsters.
He did not expect to encounter a monster lord now. If he killed it, coupled with the ten times drop rate of the system, how many good things would he obtain?
The only difficulty was probably that this monster's body was too tough, so he had to stab it a few more times?
Yes, as a supporter, Lu Benwei's attack strength was very low. It was at least half the attack of other classes of the same level.
The iron sword in his hand was only an ordinary weapon and did not have any attack bonuses.
As his level increased, the strength of the monsters increased, and the speed at which he killed them slowed down.
Even if this level 10 lord-level Cerberus was injured, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort to take it down.
"Try to resolve it before the assessment ends. Otherwise, it will be a huge loss if we can't get the drop rate reward because the assessment ends."
Lu Benwei narrowed his eyes and took the lead to attack Cerberus.
Of course, before attacking, he first added a [Minor Healing] to his shield.
After all, the [Barbarian Bloodline] would only be triggered after being attacked. With his current health as a mere level seven student, it would be troublesome if he was instantly killed by the Cerberus.
The battle process was not complicated, but it was unusually difficult.
Although under the high shield, Lu Benwei did not have to worry about being injured.
However, even if these three Cerberus were injured, their health bars were too high. With Lu Benwei's damage, he could only reduce their health a little each time.
Moreover, Lu Benwei was only a level seven newbie. Coupled with the fact that he had been fighting previously, his stamina was extremely exhausted.
Halfway through the battle, he was so exhausted that he could barely hold his iron sword.
In the end, Lu Benwei even forgot that he was fighting. He just swung his iron sword mechanically and slashed at the three Cerberus again and again.
"Awoo…"
Finally, with an indignant wail, the three Cerberus collapsed.
The iron sword in his hand seemed to have completed its mission and broke into two.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Three columns of light rose from Lu Benwei.
The upgrade had refreshed the status.
The fatigue from the battle was swept away, and Lu Benwei immediately felt refreshed.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in his head.
[Ding! Congratulations on killing level 10 lord-level monster, Cerberus. You have received 10 times the experience and 10 times the gold coins!]
[You've reached level 10!]
[10 times drop rate triggered. You have obtained the Heavenly Dog Sword x1, Skill Scroll: Heavenly Dog's Fury x1]
At the same time, the effects of [Heavenly Dog Sword] and [Heavenly Dog's Fury] unfolded in front of him.
[Heavenly Dog Sword]
Weapon
Quality: Normal
Level: 10
Attack Power: +15
Special Feature: Additional fire attribute damage when attacking. There is a five percent chance of causing a burning effect that lasts for 10 seconds.
[Heavenly Dog's Fury]
Skill Scroll
Quality: Rare
Level: 10
Effect: After use, all attributes within 30 seconds increase by 20% (can be used on oneself or selected targets). Cool down: 45 seconds.
…
"Holy shit! Awesome!"
After looking at the attributes of the two items, Lu Benwei was left with the word "awesome."
According to the classification of items, they could be divided into ordinary, advanced, rare, legendary, epic, and mythical.
Although the quality of the [Heavenly Dog Sword] was only ordinary, and its attack power was also average, just the attribute attack was enough to surpass most rare-quality weapons of the same level. Moreover, it had a five percent chance of causing a burning effect. This was simply an early-stage divine weapon.
As for the skill [Heavenly Dog's Fury], it sounded like a warrior's skill, but in fact, it was a support divine skill. As it had a percentage bonus, it meant that it would be more useful in the later stages.
If he could get a few more items with reduced cooldown later, he could even achieve a full enhancement.
It just so happened that he had reached level 10 now. Be it a sword or a scroll, he could use them directly.
In the next second, Lu Benwei had already torn open the scroll and learned [Heavenly Dog's Fury].
After all, not only could this skill boost others, but it could also boost himself. Coupled with the attribute attack of the [Heavenly Dog Sword], it could be considered as making up for his current shortcoming of insufficient damage.
Afterward, he waved his sleeve and left without a trace.
He was prepared to continue searching for monsters to level up.
However, he did not get far before he realized that he had unknowingly been surrounded.
The people surrounding him were the students who had entered the mystic realm with him!
Chapter 6
Schoolmates Force Me, but I'm Lightly Slapped in the Face
"Yo, everyone, where's the group's spring outing?"
Lu Benwei chuckled as his mood sank.
The mystic realm was very large, but hundreds or thousands of people had entered at once. It was normal to encounter a few people occasionally.
To encounter one or two hundred at once…
Coupled with the announcement of the rankings previously, the meaning behind the sudden appearance of so many people was self-evident.
Moreover, it was the information age now. The news that he had awakened the support class yesterday had probably spread throughout the entire school overnight.
Did these people think that he was a pushover?
Still…
'The highest level among you is only level 3. Are you here to cause trouble for me, who is already level 10? Seriously?'
"Lu Benwei, the assessment is about to end. We've worked so hard to fight the monsters for so long and only obtained a few points, but you've obtained so many points alone. Do you think it's reasonable?"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Lu Benwei was furious. He looked at the man with pity. "Brother, if you have the conditions, you should ask your parents to have another child."
"You—"
The man glared at Lu Benwei, but looked around. When he saw that no one was attacking, he shrank back resentfully.
After all, after entering the mystic realm for so long, he had yet to even reach level two.
"Hmph! You're still so stubborn before death!"
At this moment, a cold snort came from the crowd. Then, Qian Bin walked out of the crowd and looked at Lu Benwei coldly. "Lu Benwei, you're just a supporter. Do you think you can hold on to so many points?"
"You're welcome to try." Lu Benwei shrugged nonchalantly. He was no longer in the mood for this "fellow schoolmates" nonsense.
'We're all adults. Why don't you just say that you're green-eyed and want to mess with me?'
What a waste of time!
Qian Bin's expression turned ugly at Lu Benwei's retort, but he still had no intention of attacking.
Previously, when they discovered that Lu Benwei's level and points were the highest, they felt that Lu Benwei was lucky to have encountered the experience area and wanted to level up and snatch points.
However, along the way, the deeper they went, the higher the level of the monsters they encountered and the stronger they became. It could be said that they had been through a lot to be able to come here.
Therefore, Qian Bin really did not want to make a move.
Immediately, he continued in a deep voice, "Lu Benwei, if you hand over your points obediently, we can let you off. There's still some time. I can guarantee that no one will disturb you again. Otherwise…"
"Otherwise, f*ck, Qian Bin, do you really think you can represent all of us?"
At this moment, a disdainful voice came from the crowd. Then another young man walked out.
This person's name was Zhou Fu. He was burly and was also a level-three warrior like Qian Bin. He was quite famous in school.
His family background was comparable to Qian Bin's, so he was not weak at all.
After scolding Qian Bin in a low voice, he did not forget to spit at him in disdain.
"What a bunch of sissies. Lu Benwei is only a supporter, so what are you all afraid of? I'm definitely going to get his points today!"
With that, Zhou Fu raised the iron sword in his hand and rushed toward Lu Benwei.
It started with the initial skill [Charge], which was common for warriors.
Charge (Active): Quickly launch a fierce attack in one direction, causing 100% + 10% range damage for current level x. Cool down: 10 seconds.
It had to be said that [Charge] was extremely outstanding as an initial skill.
Many warriors relied on this skill to quickly level up in the early stages.
Moreover, this skill was instantly activated. It was very fast. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Fu had rushed in front of Lu Benwei. 𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮
At the same level, if nothing unexpected happened, Lu Benwei, who did not have much defense, would be sent flying. Then, he would fall into the rhythm of Zhou Fu's attacks and be killed continuously.
Unfortunately, as his level increased, Lu Benwei's reaction speed greatly increased.
In addition, he was confident in his level. He did not even need to release a skill to add a shield. Facing Zhou Fu's crazy attack, he only gently raised the Heavenly Dog Sword in his hand.
Ding…
Their weapons collided with a sharp metallic clang.
Then…
Bang!
Another almost inaudible crack sounded. The iron sword in Zhou Fu's hand was directly cut into two.
"What?!"
"What kind of weapon is that? It doesn't look like the iron sword I took when I came in."
"Damn! Did this guy obtain a weapon in the mystic realm?"
"What? Weapon drop in mystic realms? Why do the monsters I kill only drop experience and gold coins?"
"Nonsense. Only monsters above the lord level will drop additional items."
"Could it be that Lu Benwei can kill a lord-level monster now? How is it possible for him, a supporter?"
…
The students present all looked shocked.
Zhou Fu was dumbfounded.
Although this iron sword was only an ordinary level one weapon, it was not a problem for it to deal with a level-five monster with its own strength. In the end, it broke just like that?
Before he could recover, he heard Lu Benwei's cold voice. "It's my turn next."
His voice trailed off.
Zhou Fu felt his vision blur. In the next second, he was already flying out with a scream.
On his chest was a long, narrow wound so deep that his bones could be seen.
Strangely, the wound looked very clean, and not a single drop of blood flowed out.
At the same time, Zhou Fu's body suddenly burst into flames. His clothes, which were already tattered from fighting the monsters, instantly turned to ashes.
When he landed, it was a dazzling white.
"Ahhh… It burns! It burns!"
However, Zhou Fu couldn't care less about his shame. At this moment, his entire body seemed to be in a sea of fire, and a burning pain spread throughout his body.
He could even feel his blood sizzling.
Of course, that was impossible. At this moment, Lu Benwei's strike had only triggered the burning characteristic of the Heavenly Dog Sword. Although it was uncomfortable, the damage was not very high.
It could only last 10 seconds.
However, Lu Benwei's move still stunned the surrounding students.
They were just a group of level one and level two newbies. How could they have seen such a scene?
Many people were already thinking of retreating. They kept retreating and planned to escape.
However, there were still students who were blinded by desire.
Just as everyone was in a dilemma, someone in the crowd shouted, "Damn it, what's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful Lu Benwei is, he's only one person, and he's a supporter. Let's attack together. I don't believe he can reach the heavens! Brothers, for the sake of points, charge!"
Chapter 7
One Against a Hundred, Leaving In A Cool Way
Initially, those students wanted to leave but were unwilling. Now that they were shouted at, their greed grew again.
It was not just points.
The weapon in Lu Benwei's hand made them jealous.
Under the enhancement of desire, this group of people became bolder. They raised their weapons and rushed toward Lu Benwei, throwing out all kinds of skills.
Faced with this line-up, Lu Benwei did not dare to be careless. He directly cast [Minor Healing] on himself and maxed out his shield.
Later, he would cooperate with the passive [Barbarian Bloodline].
The high shield value made him invincible. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Then, using his huge level advantage, Lu Benwei's speed was not something that these level one and level two rookies could understand.
He moved through the crowd like a ghost, occasionally stabbing the students in the waist.
Before long, many people were lying on the ground, wailing and rolling.
Although the burning characteristic of the [Heavenly Dog Sword] only had a five percent chance of triggering, it could not withstand Lu Benwei's high-frequency attacks. There would always be one or two people who would receive the attacks. They finally experienced Zhou Fu's pain.
Moreover, the [Heavenly Dog Sword] had a fire attribute attack. With one slash, the wound was like a piece of red-hot iron. The pain was maxed out.
In less than half a minute, dozens of people were lying on the ground, crying for their parents. Among them, several naked bodies were curled up in a ball, covering their vital parts tightly.
"Damn, what's the point of fighting? Run!"
Finally, someone could not take it anymore and slipped away before Lu Benwei could target him.
Slowly, the students who were not injured came to a realization. Lu Benwei was not lucky to be able to continuously level up and obtain so many points. It was because he was strong!
Looking at the wailing students on the ground, these people immediately gave up on the idea of snatching the points and swords. They immediately dispersed.
Lu Benwei did not bother to give chase.
It would be a waste of time to chase them one by one.
Glancing at the wailing students on the ground, he snorted in disdain. "Tsk, that's it? A bunch of rookies."
Then he turned and left.
The students on the ground groaned. More than anything else, they felt a deep sense of shame.
Damn it, there were so many people attacking one person, and he was even a supporter. In the end, they were all beaten down.
If word got out, they would be too ashamed to face anyone for the rest of their lives.
Especially Lu Benwei's parting words.
The damage was not high, but it was insulting.
He was heartless!
"Damn it, who was the one who shouted 'Charge'?"
Not long after Lu Benwei left, the students lying on the ground stood up one after another.
Their injuries were not serious, so their movements were not greatly affected.
Everyone was stunned when they were suddenly asked this question. Then, anger surged in their hearts.
They were about to leave, but someone shouted at them, and they all rushed forward. In the end, they ended up like this. They felt aggrieved, but they could not take revenge on Lu Benwei, so their hatred was all turned to the person who instigated them to attack.
"I remember Zhang San from Class One."
"I don't think so. I was standing right next to him!"
"Damn! Zhang San, die!"
Hundreds of students whose eyes had turned red from anger grabbed the one called Zhang San and smashed him to the ground without a word.
…
Outside.
In that wide classroom.
Seeing this scene, all the teachers heaved a sigh of relief.
"Phew… Fortunately, Lu Benwei didn't kill him. Otherwise, our school would probably become a joke this year. Only a few students passed the assessment, and they didn't die from internal strife…"
"Damn, this batch of students is too lousy. They can't even defeat one person with so many people surrounding him. I'm so angry!"
"Mr. Yuan, are you really sure that Lu Benwei from your class is a supporter?"
"I'm sure."
Mr. Yuan was already numb. Facing the questioning gazes of the teachers, he roared crazily in his heart.
'Damn, why is a supporter's combat power like you so freaking scary?'
"Whatever. The kid's a monster. Can't be bothered to guess. Let's think about what to do next."
"What do you mean, what should I do?"
"Damn it, there are only about ten minutes left before the assessment ends, but there are still so many students who haven't leveled up. Generally speaking, only those who have reached level six can pass the assessment for the first time entering the mystic realm. It can't be that Lu Benwei is the only one in our school to pass the assessment this year, right?"
"Sigh, this is getting out of hand. Originally, at least 20 students had reached level three an hour ago. As long as we continue to kill low-level monsters, we should be able to reach level six within an hour. In the end, we wasted so much precious time attacking Lu Benwei!"
"Damn! Are they all f*cking pigs? Don't they know that it's definitely not that simple if they can level up so quickly?"
The group of teachers also despised the performance of those students.
However, as teachers of Green Spirit City High School, the performance of the students determined their benefits for the coming year to a certain extent.
Therefore, they were all a little anxious now.
"Extend the assessment time by two hours. I'll explain it to the higher-ups personally."
At this moment, the old principal stepped forward and spoke.
When the mechanical female voice in the air announced the extension of the assessment time, Lu Benwei had already arrived at a dense forest several kilometers away from the original place.
Compared to the original place, the level of the monsters here was lower and more concentrated.
This was because after reaching level 10, he would need to change his class. After changing his class, he could continue to obtain experience points to level up. Lu Benwei had already reached level 10, so he could not obtain experience points even if he continued to kill monsters.
In that case, he did not need to continue training in areas where the level of monsters was generally higher. Instead, he came to the low-level area and planned to increase the proficiency of the [Heavenly Dog's Fury] that he had just learned.
Apart from being affected by various attributes as one's level increased, the proficiency of skills would also have different effects.
Since the assessment time was extended, Lu Benwei planned to make good use of it.
After all, where could he find a place like the mystic realm assessment where the ferocious monsters were dense and the level was not high?
Moreover, although he no longer gained experience from killing monsters, he still obtained gold coins. If he was lucky, he would be able to obtain additional loot if he encountered monsters at the lord level or above. It was simply wonderful.
With this thought in mind, Lu Benwei directly started a massacre in this area.
What he did not notice was that as time passed, the monsters he encountered around him became fewer and fewer. The level of the monsters also increased from the original general level four to five to about level seven.
At the same time, thousands of monsters were gathering not far away.
Chapter 8
Danger? It Doesn't Exist
"Lu Benwei is in danger!"
The teachers outside could no longer be bothered to pay attention to the other students. They directly focused their gaze on Lu Benwei.
Seeing a large number of monsters approaching Lu Benwei, these teachers could not help but worry.
"Principal, terminate the assessment! We'll go in immediately and bring Lu Bingwei out!"
"That's right, Principal. Even if the other students can't pass the assessment, as long as there's a genius like Lu Benwei, it's enough to beat the other schools!"
"Principal…"
He could quickly level up after entering the mystic realm for the first time. As a supporter, he could easily defeat more than a hundred students and leave confidently. Such a young genius was from Green Spirit City High School!
This made all the teachers feel honored.
Especially Lu Benwei's former teacher, Mr. Yuan, whose eyes were already red. "Principal, please open the level restriction of the mystic realm. I'll go in and bring Lu Bingwei out immediately!"
The old principal's mouth twitched in response to the teachers' pleas. If he could, he would have slapped them to death.
'Damn it, when your students can't level up, all of you make a fuss. Now, it's good. Extend the assessment time and give those people time to level up.
'In the blink of an eye, you want me to end the assessment?
'You really think I'm Tinker Bell?
'You get what you want?'
The old principal took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger. He said in a low voice, "What's the hurry? Let's see the situation first. I just called and applied for an extended assessment time. Now, you want me to end it. What will the higher-ups think of our Green Spirit City High School?"
"Principal, are you out of your mind? With such a peerless genius like Lu Benwei, would the higher-ups still stop us here? And now, Lu Benwei's situation is so dangerous. If we're a step late and cause such a genius to die, the higher-ups might even hold you responsible!"
Mr. Yuan shouted anxiously.
The other teachers were also anxious.
"That's right, Principal. The one surrounding Lu Benwei now is the Ghost Wolf. It's a king-level monster among the low-level monsters. It's born with a speed talent and is a pack-type monster. When this pack of wolves rushes up, even hunters who have reached level 20 will have to avoid them."
"Principal, let's get Mr. Yuan to bring him out before he's surrounded!"
"Alright, alright, alright. Do you really think I want Lu Benwei to die? But you've been teachers for several years. Why are you still so rash?"
The principal said angrily, "Did you notice that when this kid was fighting against the three Cerberus and when he was surrounded by a group of students just now, his way of fighting was to only attack and not defend? Don't you think this is too much for a newbie who hasn't changed his class? Besides, he's a supporter, so his defense is very weak…"
"Principal, do you mean that Lu Benwei has an invincible skill?" A teacher did not wait for the principal to finish speaking and immediately asked with a shocked expression. However, he immediately answered his own question. "That's right, this child must have got an invincible skill to dare to do this. Previously, I noticed that during the battle, he didn't seem to feel many attacks landing on him. It's fine if it's those low-level brats, but those three Cerberus are level 10 monsters. Even hunters might not be able to withstand a scratch from them…"
"That's not right. As far as I know, all the invincible skills seem to be innate skills, right? Could it be that this kid has already awakened his innate skills?"
"No way? Talent skills don't belong to any class, and it's impossible to learn them through skill books. Among the tens of millions of hunters, only the top few geniuses can awaken them, and all of them have been comprehended after countless battles. How old is this kid?"
"Who cares how old he is? This kid just successfully awakened his talent yesterday and faced monsters for the first time today. In the end, he awakened his talent skill? How f*cking ridiculous!"
"I'm done!"
Just as the teachers were discussing excitedly, the old principal spoke again, "Regardless of whether it's a talent skill or any other skill, this is a student's personal privacy. Watch your mouths if you shouldn't be discussing it. Now, all you need to do is watch carefully."
The teachers immediately fell silent.
In the hunter world, it was taboo to inquire about and discuss other people's skills. These teachers also knew this, so after being reminded by the principal, they all chose to shut up.
However, when they looked at Lu Bingwei in the holographic projection, their eyes widened, hoping to see any clues.
At this moment.
In the mystic realm, Lu Benwei also sensed that something was wrong.
In his vision, many monsters that looked like wolves but had six ears and were the size of cows were gradually approaching.
However, it was different from the worries of the teachers outside.
Lu Benwei could not see any negative emotions like fear in his eyes.
Some were just eager.
When he fought Cerberus, perhaps his only shortcoming was that his stamina would be exhausted after using his skills frequently.
However, Lu Benwei solved that problem.
Through constant fighting, he found a way to fight that suited him best.
Boom!
[Heavenly Dog's Fury] was activated instantly. A huge phantom of a heavenly dog appeared behind him, looking dignified.
At the same time, Lu Benwei cast [Minor Healing] on himself before the Ghost Wolf's claws could reach him.
For now, the battle did not consume much of Lu Benwei's stamina.
At first, he used [Minor Healing] to increase his shield value. Then, when he was injured, [Barbarian Bloodline] would automatically trigger and increase his shield value again. With the enhancement of these two, his shield value reached a terrifying value.
As for [Barbarian Bloodline], it was a passive skill. As long as it was damaged, it would automatically trigger. It did not consume any stamina at all.
There was no cool down time yet, so he could basically maintain a high shield the entire time.
This way, Lu Benwei only needed to consume the stamina of [Minor Healing] before he would be invincible.
As for [Heavenly Dog's Fury], it was a status enhancement skill. Every time it was released, the consumption of stamina was minimal.
Thinking of this, Lu Benwei realized that at this stage, he was really an unbeatable existence.
Previously, when he was fighting with Cerberus, he did not have a clear understanding of his own strength. It was only because he used [Minor Healing] frequently that his stamina was exhausted.
Pfft…
While he was thinking, a Ghost Wolf had already arrived in front of him. Lu Benwei instinctively raised his sword and accurately stabbed it into its body.
[Heavenly Dog Sword] had its own fire attribute attack, and with the enhancement of [Heavenly Dog's Fury], even if it was just an ordinary attack, Lu Benwei's damage was extremely high.
Coupled with his level 10 attack power and the additional attack power of the [Heavenly Dog Sword], the Ghost Wolf did not even have time to scream before it turned into a corpse.
Pop, pop, pop…
Lu Benwei kept swinging the Heavenly Dog Sword. There were Ghost Wolves everywhere, and he did not need to aim at all. One slash and one of them would fall.
The points on his points ranking were also rising crazily.
Chapter 9
Talent Skill! Assessment Over
"Ah, well…"
Outside, in the classroom.
The teachers were already numb.
A second ago, they were still worried about Lu Benwei, but the next moment, Lu Benwei showed them what it meant to kill ten monsters in one step.
"Hiss… Phew… Forget it. I won't look at this kid anymore. He makes me suspect that I'm useless."
Finally, a teacher suddenly said faintly.
The other teachers did not mock him. Instead, they fell silent.
The people present were all above level 20, but they believed that if they were placed in Lu Benwei's position, they would not even be able to come out alive, much less so easily.
What level was Lu Benwei at now?
The more they watched, the more frustrated the teachers became.
Hence, with everyone's tacit approval, the focus on the holographic projection gradually shifted to the other students.
Fortunately, after being beaten up by Lu Benwei, those students became obedient and formed teams to fight monsters and level up. They did not cause any more trouble. Only then did the teachers feel better.
Time passed.
Before they knew it, an hour had passed.
Lu Benwei relied on his high shield and extremely high attack power to forcefully flatten hundreds of Ghost Wolves. 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝙧𝙚𝒂𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Just as the last Ghost Wolf fell, the system voice suddenly spoke.
[Ding! Congratulations on killing level nine Ghost Wolf. Ten times drop rate triggered. Obtained Skill Scroll—Ghost Shadow]
[Congratulations, host. You have comprehended the innate skill—Eye of Insight!]
[Your experience points have reached the upper limit. You cannot continue to obtain experience points. Please complete your Class Advancement as soon as possible.]
"Eh? It's actually a lord-level monster?"
Lu Benwei was delighted to see the body of the last Ghost Wolf at his feet.
He did not expect that this mystic realm would accidentally give him another small surprise.
Immediately after, he checked his spoils of war.
[Ghost Shadow]
Skill Scroll
Quality: Rare
Level: 15
Effect: After activation, you can temporarily obtain the ability to communicate with the shadows. You can fuse yourself with the shadows and create a clone to stay in place. The clone cannot move or attack. Duration: 30 seconds.
[Eye of Insight (Unique)]: Talent skill. After using it, you can see through everything.
"Damn! That's a little strong."
After reading the introduction of the Talent Skill and Skill Scroll, Lu Benwei was excited.
To put it bluntly, the effect of [Ghost Shadow] was to release a clone to attract aggro during a battle, while the user had already hidden in the shadow. This was simply a necessary skill to cheat others.
However, this skill should belong to an assassin based on its effect. He wondered if there would be any conflict if he learned it.
However, if he wanted to learn, he would have to reach level 15 first. Thinking about this now was still a little far off.
Although the talent skill at the back could not directly increase combat strength, it was a very practical and powerful skill.
This was equivalent to appraisal in online games. All items had no secrets in front of him, allowing him to make better judgments and seek benefits and avoid harm.
Originally, Lu Benwei only wanted to increase the proficiency of [Heavenly Dog's Fury] by staying in the mystic realm. He did not expect to obtain such a big surprise.
After being happy for a while, a mechanical female voice suddenly sounded in the sky again.
[Ding Dong! There's still an hour before the end of this assessment. Students, please level up as soon as possible and strive to pass the assessment! Now, announcing the rankings!]
Hearing this voice, Lu Benwei did not feel much.
Currently, his points had already left the others far behind. Moreover, his level had also exceeded the criteria to pass the assessment. The first place of this assessment could be reserved in advance.
"But since we have an hour left…"
Standing where he was, Lu Benwei gave up on the idea of continuing to increase his skill proficiency.
Now that he had the [Eye of Insight], he planned to walk around the mystic realm and see if he could gather the materials needed for his Class Advancement.
After all, there were not only monsters in the mystic realm, but also many materials that were not available outside. There were even some materials that were priceless. If he could get one, would he not make a profit?
Therefore, for the next hour, Lu Benwei was basically collecting materials. Occasionally, he would encounter a few monsters, but he would kill them instantly. It was not challenging.
It was worth mentioning that the innate skill [Eye of Insight] was really useful. When activated, everything Lu Benwei saw with his eyes would form a detailed information feed to his brain, allowing him to find some expensive materials very easily.
In the process of finding the materials, Lu Benwei also discovered another wonderful use of the Eye of Insight—to find treasures through information prompts.
As long as it was within Lu Benwei's sight, everything would be recorded by [Eye of Insight] and turned into information for Lu Benwei to know.
However, there was still a limit to what the human eye could see. For example, when there was a cover, it was difficult to discover what was behind it.
However, the Eye of Insight was like a radar. Wherever Lu Benwei looked, it would be scanned by the Eye of Insight. Even if he was blocked, there would be a notification.
This was simply a treasure hunting tool.
An hour passed quickly. Not only did Lu Benwei collect all the materials for his Class Advancement, but he also obtained many other materials and treasures in the mystic realm. Even if he could not use them, he could sell them and escape poverty overnight.
In this hour, the others also spared no effort in fighting the monsters and trying their best to increase their levels and points.
Unfortunately, most of the students could only form teams to hunt monsters. Even though the assessment time had been extended by two hours and they had found the right method, about a hundred people had reached the level required for the assessment.
However, Lu Benwei's name was still at the top of the rankings with more than 10,000 points.
Qian Bin was still in second place, but he only had less than 200 points, not even a fraction of Lu Benwei's.
However, after the previous battle, no one dared to have any objections to Lu Benwei's ranking.
Damn it, so many people had been beaten up by Lu Benwei like ants. Only a fool would run to Lu Benwei and say that he had a problem with his ranking.
Finally, as the mechanical female voice in the air indicated that the assessment time was up, everyone was pulled out of the mystic realm by an inexplicable irresistible force and returned to the original school field.
The assessment officially ended.
When they entered the mystic realm, there was a neat line of thousands of people.
However, when they returned, there were only a hundred or two people left standing. Most of them were lying on the ground and had suffered serious injuries
Nearly a third of the others were neatly placed at the front, covered with white cloth.
The joy of passing the test instantly disappeared, leaving only inexplicable grief.
Chapter 10
Getting the Reward, Frightening the Genius
The school quickly arranged for people to bring the seriously injured and dead students who died in the mystic realm assessment down.
Then, the students who passed the assessment lined up according to class again.
When Lu Benwei found his class, he once again felt the cruelty of the monsters.
Originally, a total of 36 people in their class had successfully awakened.
However, after a round of mystic realm assessment, there were only 11 people left!
Excluding the eight people who were injured and whose levels did not meet the assessment standards, as many as 17 people died in the mystic realm!
This was only the simplest mystic realm.
In the future, if they wanted to enter Hunter University, they would have to pass another assessment. After that, they would have to head to the dungeon and fight stronger monsters. In the end, how many of the 11 people who passed the assessment could stay?
It could only be said that while the title of hunter brought supreme honor, it was also accompanied by endless risks.
"Students, first of all, congratulations on passing this assessment. This represents your first step on the path to becoming a hunter."
At that moment the principal stepped out onto the platform again and addressed the crowd, microphone in hand.
"However, at this moment, my heart is very heavy! Because today, many of our classmates have left us forever.
"And this is only the simplest assessment. I can tell you bluntly that every monster you encounter in the future will be stronger and more dangerous than today!
"I believe that after you personally experienced the battle with the monsters, there's no need for me to elaborate on the dangers of the monsters.
"Now, do you regret choosing to become hunters?!"
The principal practically shouted this last sentence.
Deafening!
As for the students below the stage, after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, their minds had become even more mature and firm.
Hearing the principal's question, everyone roared without hesitation, "No regrets!"
"Good, very good!"
The principal was clearly satisfied with this answer. He nodded in affirmation of the students before continuing in a loud and clear voice, "Being able to pass the assessment means that you're all good children with strong wills and won't give up easily. Outside, there are countless monsters staring at us with wide eyes and drooling mouths. And you people are the ones who will fight against them in the future!
"Now, I announce that you have officially graduated from Green Spirit City High School!
"As principal, I'm extremely proud of you!"
At this point, the principal paused for a moment before continuing, "Alright, your performance in this assessment is very good. Since it's an assessment, we'll also reward students who perform well.
"Now, let's welcome the top scorer in this assessment, Lu Benwei, to the stage to receive his reward!"
This result was expected. Lu Benwei did not delay and quickly went on stage.
Then, the old principal praised him again before handing over his reward.
This was a one-handed light shield made of special materials. It was not heavy in his hand, but the surface of the shield, which did not look big, could perfectly block all the important parts of the human body.
"Student Lu Benwei, although this shield is only of ordinary quality, the defense isn't low. At the same time, it has good characteristics. In the early stages, it's considered a small treasure. I hope you can use it well."
Lu Benwei nodded and immediately activated [Eye of Insight]. The attributes of the shield immediately unfolded in front of him.
[Horn Shield]
Shield
Quality: Normal
Level: 10
Defense: +100
Special Feature: When equipped, all attribute resistance +20.
Tsk…
This attribute could not be said to be strong. It could only be said to be very strong.
According to Lu Benwei's current level of level 10, even with the 15-point attack bonus from the [Heavenly Dog Sword], his total attack power was only 75 points. Although this was because he was a supporter and his attack power was low, even for other classes, when they reached level 10, their attack power would not usually exceed 100 points without other bonuses.
However, this was only an ordinary level 10 shield with one hand. It provided a total of 100 points of defense, which was equivalent to an attack from an opponent of the same level. As long as he raised this shield, he would be completely immune to damage.
This was not the most powerful thing about this shield.
Surprisingly, it added 20 attribute resistance.
What was elemental resistance? To put it simply, it could offset the damage of attribute attacks.
For example, Lu Benwei's [Heavenly Dog Sword] was a fire-attribute attack. Every time he attacked, he would receive additional damage.
The higher the fire attribute enhancement, the higher the additional damage bonus.
When the opponent did not have attribute resistance, this damage could be dealt to the opponent.
On the other hand, if the opponent had attribute resistance, the damage would be greatly reduced.
In the early stages, at least until level 30, there was almost no equipment or items that increased attribute or resistance.
As a result, before level 30, the attributes of most hunters were basically zero.
He did not expect the old principal to find a level 10 equipment with attribute resistance.
This shield might only be useful for defense, but it was extremely important against some special monsters.
The principal was not exaggerating when he said "a small treasure."
Lu Benwei was in a good mood and prepared to go down with his shield.
The principal was about to announce the name of the second place.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded from below the stage.
Then, a muscular boy walked to the front of the line.
"Principal, Lu Benwei, is just a useless supporter. Why should he get such good equipment? This shield should be awarded to our classmates in the knight class!"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at this student in unison.
Lu Benwei glanced at him and realized that he knew him.
This person's surname was Zhao and his name was Kong. He was considered an influential figure in school and was ranked in the top five all year round.
Most importantly, this guy did not have a prominent family background like Qian Bin and Zhou Fu.
Just like Lu Benwei, he was born into an ordinary family and was called a top student by many people because of his diligence.
Yes, Lu Benwei was a prodigy.
In short, Zhao Kong gave his classmates and teachers the impression that he was down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships. He will definitely become great in the future!
Zhao Kong's awakening was also very powerful. He had awakened one of the two most popular professions, the knight class.
Now, Zhao Kong suddenly stood up and questioned Lu Benwei, which surprised many people.
Including the principal.
Although he was a little unhappy, the principal did not show it. Instead, he said earnestly, "Student Zhao Kong, it's precisely because Student Lu Benwei is from the support class and his ability to protect himself in the early stages isn't strong that the school decided to give him this shield with good defense."
"Hmph! He's just a supporter. He's not worthy of such good equipment!"
However, Zhao Kong did not give the principal any face at all. With a cold snort, he jumped onto the stage and pointed at Lu Bingwei with one hand. "Lu Benwei, I don't know what method you used to obtain first place in the points ranking, but I think that you don't deserve this shield at all. However, since the principal has given it to you, I won't question the school's decision. Therefore, I want to challenge you. The shield will belong to whoever wins. Do you dare?"
As soon as he said this, countless students below the stage were in an uproar.
'Challenge Lu Benwei?'
Oh no!
'Brother, I'd call you the strongest when it comes to courage!'
'Didn't you see that Lu Ben fought hundreds of people alone?'
Those students who had been stabbed in the waist by Lu Benwei immediately recalled that unbearable memory and could not help but shiver. Then, they looked at Zhao Kong on the stage gloatingly.
Zhao Kong was not among the people who had besieged Lu Benwei previously. Although he had seen Lu Benwei's ranking on the rankings, in his opinion, Lu Benwei was just lucky. As long as he continued to work hard, he would be able to surpass him.
At the end, when the assessment ended, Lu Benwei's ranking was still firmly in first place, and his points were even at a number that Zhao Kong did not dare to imagine.
This made Zhao Kong very unhappy.
In the past, as a commoner genius, he was already very uncomfortable being suppressed by Lu Benwei. Now that Lu Benwei had awakened the trashiest support class, was he actually inferior to him?
Jealousy made Zhao Kong lose his mind. That was why he challenged Lu Benwei in public to give himself a good reputation.
However, Lu Benwei was in no mood to pay attention to such provocation.
Right now, he just wanted to go home and tell his parents that he had passed the assessment to make them happy.
Immediately, Lu Benwei turned around and left the stage without even looking at Zhao Kong.
"Stop!"
Seeing that Lu Benwei was about to leave, Zhao Kong was unwilling to let him go. He directly used a displacement skill and rushed in front of Lu Benwei, reaching out to block his path.
Lu Benwei raised his eyebrows angrily. "Move," he said coldly.
"Hmph. If you don't dare compete with me, leave your shield behind."
"The shield is yours? Call it and if it agrees, I'll give it to you."
"Lu Benwei, you're courting death!"
Zhao Kong was furious and released his level seven hunter aura, preparing to attack.
"Damn! How annoying."
Lu Benwei did not let it go. He released his level 10 aura and instantly defeated Zhao Kong's aura.
It had to be known that Lu Benwei had killed thousands of monsters in the mystic realm.
His aura was not only oppressive in terms of level but also mixed with strong hostility.
Not to mention a level seven rookie like Zhao Kong, even those who had not experienced many dangerous battlefields would probably be dumbfounded.
"You—you—"
Zhao Kong was numb. He stood rooted to the ground and stared blankly at Lu Benwei, unable to say a word for a long time.
Then he smelled something foul.
Zhao Kong peed his pants!
"Damn! Bad luck!"
Lu Benwei pursed his lips and left the school after saying this in disdain.
When he got home, his parents were still waiting for him after work. After all, the casualty rate of the mystic realm assessment was very high. Even if they were asked to go to work, they would not feel at ease.
Seeing that Lu Benwei had returned, his parents first came up to check that he was not missing any limbs. In the end, when they found that Lu Benwei was intact, they became concerned about his assessment results.
Lu Benwei did not tell his parents that he had won first place. He only told them that he had passed the assessment.
Even so, his parents were very happy. His father even began to burn incense for his ancestors one by one.
Lu Benwei did not bother to stop them.
After taking a shower and returning to his room, he lay down on his bed and began to think about his class change.
Chapter 11
It's Reasonable for a Student Like Me to Have 500,000 Gold Coins, Right?
Lu Benwei dozed off before he could think about it.
Hence, he decided to try his luck at the Class Change Center. He covered himself with the blanket and fell asleep.
The next day.
Lu Benwei stood at the door of the Class Change Center adjacent to the Hunters Association, slightly stunned.
In the era of spiritual energy recovery, the Hunters Association became the most important department in every country.
Almost every city's Hunters Association was a landmark.
The Hunter Association in Lu Benwei's city was a towering tower. It was majestic and pierced the clouds like a sharp sword.
Most importantly, this supreme tower contained a secret technique core.
Usually, when they looked at the city center from all corners of the city, they could not find it at all.
Only when they reached the city center would they witness its true appearance.
At 8:30 a.m., the class change queue had already formed outside the center.
An hour passed before Lu Benwei entered the hall of the Class Change Center.
The hall was filled with dazzling lights, followed by the self-congratulation of those who had successfully changed their class.
It was another two hours before it was Lu Benwei's turn.
The man in charge of the reception, a middle-aged man with a goatee, was at the moment playing a game of "happy pop."
Lu Benwei looked at the name tag on Tang Xu's chest. "Hello, Mr. Tang. I'm here to change my class…"
Tang Xu yawned and said unhurriedly, "Are the Class Advancement materials ready?"
"Ready."
Tang Xu looked at Lu Benwei. "So young? Has your family prepared money for you?"
Lu Benwei was puzzled.
"Money? What money? Don't you only need to prepare the materials for the Class Advancement?"
However, Lu Benwei's whisper caused many people around him to laugh.
"Other than materials, you also need to spend a Class Advancement scroll. Do you think the Class Advancement scroll came from nowhere?"
"Besides, don't you have to pay? Do you think the staff in the Class Change Center is your free labor?"
"This kid actually doesn't know that Class Advancement costs money."
"He's probably from an ordinary family!"
"You have to know that the Class Advancement scroll is expensive. It's not something an ordinary family can afford!"
Tang Xu was also a little impatient. This morning, he encountered many rascals who had come to kneel and beg for help.
'Did the Class Advancement scroll blow in or did they think they were doing charity work?'
He waved his hand and said, "If you want to change your class, go home and get your parents to bring over all their assets."
At the same time, someone chimed in and teased, "It's not impossible to sell the house."
After saying that, he laughed out loud with the others.
Lu Benwei frowned and said, "How many gold coins do you need to change your class?"
Tang Xu became even more impatient. "500,000!"
"Damn, it's only 500,000."
Lu Benwei sighed. He had thought that the Class Advancement scroll would cost thousands of gold coins.
He had not expected only five hundred thousand gold coins.
However, this number could indeed stop ordinary families.
Five hundred thousand gold coins were enough to buy a small two-bedroom commercial house locally.
Due to the accumulation in the mystic realm and the ten times drop rate of the system, Lu Benwei had accumulated a lot of money.
500,000 gold coins!
Lu Benwei saw that Tang Xu had placed a transfer scroll in front of him. Without thinking, he released a trace of his divine sense.
However, at this moment, everyone was still teasing Lu Benwei.
"Kid, your talent isn't bad. Go back and get your parents to take out money to help you change your class."
"Hurry up and go back. There's still some time before the transfer center closes!"
Suddenly, the transfer scroll in front of Tang Xu's hand emitted a dazzling light.
The sound of gold coins colliding followed.
Tang Xu was no longer calm. He immediately checked the amount on the account.
"Little friend, why didn't you say you had so much money earlier?"
Lu Benwei shrugged. "I have five hundred thousand gold coins as a student. That's reasonable, right?"
The corners of Tang Xu and the others' mouths twitched.
Among the people who came to change their class, there was no lack of people who emptied their pockets to change their profession.
What was the situation with Lu Benwei?
Previously, he did not know that it took a lot of gold coins to change classes.
After knowing this, he did not even blink and directly took out 500,000 gold coins!
'What is half a million gold coins?'
Almost ten years of savings for a small, well-off family!
'Is that reasonable?'
This did not make sense!
Tang Xu put away his phone and straightened his attitude.
A talented hunter with a rich family background was a rare target to curry favor with.
"Little friend, may I ask what your class is? What do you want to change your class to?"
"Support healer type," Lu Benwei said indifferently.
Tang Xu's expression immediately darkened.
'It wasn't easy for me to show my attitude, yet you're telling me that you're a support healer type?
'What was a supporter? To put it bluntly, it was a useless class!'
What a waste!
The surrounding people also sneered. They had just been shocked by Lu Benwei's crazy behavior.
Unexpectedly, Lu Benwei was the most useless supporter.
Many people instantly regained their confidence.
Tang Xu impatiently took out the supporter class change scroll and said, "What do you want to change your class to?"
Lu Benwei did not care about any of this. He was thinking about which class to change to.
The supporters were divided into priests, spiritualists, and magicians.
Priests mainly increased the health of others, while spiritualists increased the attack power of others.
A magician could learn both the skills of a priest and a spiritual master.
However, the talent of a magician would reduce the speed at which the class-changer learned skills by 100%.
Therefore, although a magician seemed to have great potential, everyone in the world knew that magician was a useless class.
[Detected that the host is undergoing a Class Advancement. Please choose a class!]
[System Mission: Choose the magician and awaken the one-key skill support!]
The system's voice suddenly sounded, and Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment.
'Do you have to ask?'
"I choose the magician!" Lu Benwei said solemnly.
"Pfft!"
Immediately, there was laughter all around.
"Damn, did I hear wrongly? This kid wants to choose a magician?!"
"Supporting is the most useless profession, and magicians are even more useless. Did this kid not listen carefully when he was in school?"
Tang Xu also said with a look of disbelief, "Are you sure you want to become a magician?"
Lu Benwei said firmly, "That's right!"
Tang Xu took out the magician Class Advancement scroll and said angrily, "This is a lifetime matter. If you go back on your word, don't cause trouble!"
Lu Benwei said again, "Who dares to cause trouble at the Class Change Center?"
Tang Xu opened the scroll and chanted an ancient incantation.
The Class Advancement materials in front of Lu Benwei emitted a dazzling light.
They all rose into the air and hung above Lu Benwei's head.
At the same time, the system beeped again.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully becoming a magician!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully changing class to a magician. All attributes have increased!]
[Awakened magician class talent: Can be compatible with all support skills, but the learning difficulty will increase by 100%!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the one-click skill support!]
Chapter 12
I Knew You Were an Old Bootlicker
Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment before he checked the introduction of [One-Click Skill Support].
According to the description, he could learn all skills 100% and increase his proficiency every second.
There were also some other special powerful functions waiting for him to unlock.
"Improving skill proficiency every second?!"
Lu Benwei was surprised.
One had to know that the strength of a hunter was not only related to their attributes and some powerful skills, but also their skill proficiency.
Skill proficiency was divided into five levels. From low to high, they were E, D, C, B, A, and S.
The higher the proficiency, the more compatible the hunter and the skill proficiency were.
It was easy to use and naturally stronger.
As the saying went, practice makes perfect.
The increase in skill proficiency also required hunters to use and practice more.
Originally, Lu Benwei had a headache.
Although one could walk the path of dual cultivation after advancing to a magician, the disadvantage was that the speed at which one's skill proficiency increased would decrease by 100%.
The decrease in skill proficiency was undoubtedly more harmful than beneficial to early-stage hunters.
However, with the [One-Click Skill Support], it was different. He could increase his proficiency every moment.
Lu Benwei could not help but laugh at the thought.
"Haha, in the future, all the skills I show when I fight will all be S-rank proficiency. I'll blind your titanium alloy dog eyes!"
However, many people around them started whispering when they saw this.
"Is this child stupid?"
"How smart can a person who's determined to become a magician be?"
"What is S-rank proficiency? This child is hopeless…"
"Isn't it good to choose a priest to heal someone? Why did he have to choose the weakest path? It's a pity that this kid's talent is lacking."
…
Even Tang Xu, who had just been in charge of helping Lu Benwei change his class, teased, "Child, your strength is improving very quickly now.
"However, you'll only awaken a powerful Class Advancement skill at level 15. The path after that is the true path of cultivation!"
"Thank you for the reminder."
Lu Benwei agreed with a smile. In fact, he knew that Tang Xu was mocking him.
However, he did not care.
'He laughed at me for being crazy, and I laughed at him for not being able to see through it.'
Now he was anxious to get home and tell his parents the good news.
When he arrived at his house, a car he had never seen before happened to block the entrance of the unit.
This caused Lu Benwei to turn sideways and slip through the narrow gap.
"Mom, I don't know who's so unethical downstairs, but the door is blocked."
Lu Benwei pushed open the door and said casually.
Suddenly he looked startled. There was a faint fragrance in his house.
"Zi Ling is back?" Lu Benwei immediately changed out of his shoes and walked toward the living room.
'Indeed.'
His adopted sister, Lu Ziling, was back.
She had grown a little more mature in the days since he had last seen her.
In Lu Benwei's original impression, Lu Ziling was tall and slender. She often wore a purple muslin dress that was mysterious and charming.
Today, Lu Ziling was wearing a simple casual outfit. She sat there naturally like a young lady from a wealthy family.
When Lu Ziling saw Lu Benwei return, she smiled. "You're back?"
Mrs. Lu scolded jokingly, "How many times have I told you not to be so rude? Zi Ling is your sister!"
Lu Benwei nodded and fixed his gaze on the man beside Lu Ziling.
The man's gaze was fixed on Lu Ziling as if it had never left her.
He looked very handsome. He was wearing a large sweater and cargo pants.
"It's quite trendy," Lu Benwei muttered softly.
Mrs. Lu smiled and introduced, "This is Yang. He was the one who sent your sister back."
The man surnamed Yang shifted his gaze away from Lu Ziling.
"You're Lu Benwei, right? I heard from Ziling that you…"
The man stood up and held out a hand.
"My name is Yang Wenwu. I'm from Ziling…" Yang Wenwu suddenly paused before saying, "Student, I'm a local from Yanjing."
Lu Benwei shook Yang Wenwu's hand politely.
This kid's gaze had never left Lu Ziling from the beginning.
'A classmate, a bootlicker, eh?'
Suddenly, Lu Benwei froze.
He did not know if it was his imagination, but he vaguely felt that Yang Wenwu's gaze on him suddenly flashed with a trace of ruthlessness.
However, Lu Benwei did not mind. After sitting down, he asked, "Ziling, why are you suddenly back?"
Lu Ziling teased, "Why? Can't I come home for a visit?"
"That's right, that's right. Your sister Ziling isn't married yet!" Mrs. Lu teased.
Lu Benwei retorted, "I remember that there are school rules at Yanjing University. You can't leave the school for no special reason."
At this moment, Mr. Lu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"Actually, Lu Ziling came back for something…" He sounded embarrassed.
After all, he was an elder. He could not bring himself to ask a junior for help.
"Dad, just say it. We're family," Lu Ziling said.
Yang Wenwu echoed, "Uncle, I'll help you if I can."
Mr. Lu let out a long sigh. "It's like this, Ziling. Little Lu passed the graduation assessment."
Lu Ziling's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Before Lu Benwei could respond, Mr. Lu said, "Really. Unfortunately, he's also a supporter like us."
The light in Lu Ziling's eyes dimmed. "That's a pity. However, as long as you perform well in the martial arts assessment, you can still be accepted into a good hunter school."
Mr. Lu suddenly coughed a few times, his hands rubbing his pants.
"It's like this, Ziling. You're now an outstanding person among your peers at Yanjing University."
"Can you help Benwei go to Yanjing University so that the two of you can take care of each other?"
Lu Benwei finally understood.
It turned out that he was preparing to get Lu Ziling to help him get in through the back door.
However, Yanjing University was one of the top three universities in the country, and there were countless eyes watching. How could there be a back door?
Lu Ziling's expression also changed.
"Dad, Mom, I know what you mean. Although I can speak to the school leaders, Little Lu is a supporter. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝙧𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝙢
"Even if Benwei is lucky enough to pass the student assessment, it's impossible for him to stand out among the many geniuses in the country with the support class.
"If he really gets in through the back door, even without a dazzling performance, he'll definitely become the target of public criticism.
"You have to know that Yanjing University has never recruited a supporter for many years…"
Lu Ziling hesitated.
Lu Benwei knew what she wanted to say next.
All the supporters were useless!
"Ziling, what's wrong with the support class?"
Lu Benwei was a little depressed. Why did even Lu Ziling look down on the support class?
"If a supporter like me can pass the student assessment, I'll definitely pass the martial arts assessment of Yanjing University!"
Lu Ziling shook her head and said, "The martial arts assessment and Yanjing University aren't as simple as you think they are.
"In short, you'd better participate in the martial arts assessment obediently. I'll guide you with all my might for the next few days!"
Chapter 13
Are All Bootlickers Stupid?
Lu Ziling's face flushed with anger.
Lu Benwei's words made Lu Ziling think that he really wanted to get in through the back door, so she was a little disappointed.
"Benwei, please remember that it's better to rely on yourself than on heaven and earth. I'm very happy that you passed the student assessment, but you have to continue to work hard in the martial arts assessment."
Lu Benwei opened his mouth to say something else.
It was obvious that Lu Ziling had misunderstood him and felt even more depressed.
'Forget it. I'm not going to make it worse.'
Hence, he prepared to get up.
Seeing Lu Benwei suddenly leave in silence, Lu Ziling thought that her tone was a little harsh, so she followed him.
Lu Benwei pushed open the toilet door.
Unexpectedly, when he pushed open the door, he bumped into Yang Wenwu.
Lu Benwei hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry, I'm used to pushing open doors at home…"
Yang Wenwu's nose was red from the collision. He retreated to the toilet in pain.
"Is it serious?" Lu Benwei asked with concern.
Unexpectedly, Yang Wenwu pushed him away.
"Get lost, don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
Lu Benwei felt a little puzzled. "I just want to see if it's serious."
Yang Wenwu growled, "Why do you care? Inferior country bumpkin!"
Lu Benwei was stunned. "What era is it now? Why are you still discriminating against people? Which family hasn't been farming for three generations?"
His remarks obviously irritated Yang Wenwu.
"Trash is trash. You only know how to boast! A family of three supporters that no one wants. If not for Ziling, I wouldn't have stepped into your house at all."
Lu Benwei smiled suddenly.
"You bootlickers are indeed not very smart…"
He looked at Yang Wenwu as if he was looking at a fool.
"Who are you calling a bootlicker?"
To Yang Wenwu, the title of bootlicker was extremely insulting.
Without a word, he grabbed Lu Benwei's collar.
Lu Benwei smiled insincerely. "Brother, don't worry about whether I scolded you or not. Take a look at who's behind you first."
With that, he exerted some force on his waist and effortlessly broke free from Yang Wenwu's restraints.
Yang Wenwu was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that someone had indeed been standing behind him for a long time.
Yang Wenwu twisted his head mechanically. "Zi… Ling…"
Lu Ziling's face was as cold as ice, and her entire body emitted a bone-piercing chill.
Yang Wenwu swallowed his saliva. "Ziling, it's not like that. Let me explain!"
"What's there to explain about insulting my family?"
In the next second, Lu Ziling's body emitted a dazzling light, and the terrifying pressure made the porcelain in the bathroom rattle.
Yang Wenwu was shocked.
Lu Ziling was the peerless genius of Yanjing University, the top student of her generation!
He was just a passerby at Yanjing University. Compared to her, his strength was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
Yang Wenwu's knees went weak. He wanted to kneel and beg for mercy.
However, the aura emitted by Lu Ziling made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Boom!"
Lu Ziling threw a punch at the speed of light.
Yang Wenwu flew out the window like a shrimp.
Lu Benwei was stunned.
No sharp weapons, no flashy skills.
With just her strength attribute, she made an adult man unable to fight back and fly dozens of meters away from the window.
At this moment, he was panting heavily. The aura that Lu Ziling had just emitted had more or less affected him.
"Ziling, this is the sixth floor…" Lu Benwei said weakly.
Lu Ziling clapped her hands casually. "It's fine. The students of Yanjing University aren't as weak as you think."
Lu Benwei's lips twitched. "Are you sure?"
"He's really fine. At most, he'll become a cripple."
Lu Benwei was instantly petrified.
For the first time, he felt that Lu Ziling was so valiant.
"Ziling, what's wrong?"
"Why were you guys so noisy just now?" 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Outside the toilet, Mr. and Mrs. Lu asked.
Lu Ziling replied loudly, "It's fine, Mom. Yang Wenwu suddenly had something to do at home and left."
"He left? Why didn't he come out?"
Lu Ziling added, "He was afraid that you'd keep him for dinner, so he jumped out of the toilet window."
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched again.
A tough life did not need any explanation!
After the two of them came out of the toilet, Lu Benwei still had a lingering fear.
Lu Ziling's performance just now was too shocking.
"Ziling, what level are you at now?" Lu Benwei asked.
Lu Ziling flicked her messy hair and said, "I forgot. Anyway, I'm at a level higher than you."
'I forgot…'
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched again.
At this moment, Mr. Lu suddenly interrupted. "Ziling, there was an outsider just now, so I couldn't say it out loud."
"We really have no choice. Is there really no way to let Benwell enter Yanjing University through connections?"
Lu Ziling pursed her lips tightly when she heard that.
Although she was adopted, her parents treated her like their own.
All these years, Lu Ziling had always wanted to repay them.
However, letting a supporter enter the hall of Yanjing University was undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
"Dad, Mom, it wasn't easy for Ziling to come back, yet you're giving her a hard time. She won't be coming back in the future," Lu Benwei suddenly said in a deep voice.
He patted his chest. "Dad, Mom, Ziling, don't worry. I can't guarantee anything about Yanjing University, but it won't be a problem for me to get into a first-class Hunters Academy! I'll definitely do my best and not let you guys worry!"
Mr. Lu was very relieved to hear that and smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Ziling. I'm used to worrying about this kid and didn't consider your feelings."
Then, Mr. Lu muttered softly, "When did this child become so ambitious after the class assessment?"
"Dad, what are you saying?" Lu Ziling responded, but she could not help but look at Lu Benwei.
The brat who used to follow her around asking for candy seemed to have suddenly grown up.
"Benwei, I'm very gratified that you have such determination. No matter how the martial arts assessment goes, when you come back, Dad, Mom, and I'll definitely repay you!" Lu Ziling said.
"That's right, that's right. Not to mention a first-class Hunters Academy, even if you get into a third-class Hunters Academy, your father and I will be satisfied."
Lu Benwei was puzzled. 'Why are you mocking me?'
"Mom, Dad, let me tell you something."
Lu Benwei decided not to hide it anymore. "Today, I changed my class."
"What?!" Lu Ziling and the other two slammed the table and stood up at the same time.
"He reached level 10 so quickly. I remember that the Awakening and Class Assessment were two days ago."
"Child, are you on steroids?"
Lu Ziling was also happy for Lu Benwei. "Benwei, you rose to level 10 in two days. This shows that your talent is extraordinary."
"In the next few days, improve your strength. You might really be accepted into a first-class Hunters Academy."
Mr. Lu grinned from ear to ear.
"By the way, Benwei, quickly tell me what profession you've changed to?"
"I'm a magician who can dual-culturize!" Lu Benwei said proudly.
When Lu Ziling and the other two heard this, their smiles instantly froze.
"Magi… Magician?"
"That's right, it's a magician who cultivates all spiritual skills."
Mr. Lu's vision suddenly darkened. "Forget it, forget it. It's my fault for not caring about you two days ago. I forgot to tell you about the dangers of becoming a magician…"
Everyone knew that magicians were the weakest in the hunter class.
Lu Benwei would probably never be able to stand out in this life…
Seeing this, Lu Ziling comforted, "Dad, it's okay."
"Since Benwei can advance to level 10 so quickly, his cultivation speed must be extraordinary."
Hearing this, Mr. Lu felt a little better.
"Try everything you can. There are only a few days left until the martial arts assessment. Benwei, cultivate well with your sister these few days."
Mr. Lu got up and staggered toward the bedroom.
"By the way, your form teacher just sent a school notification that our Hai Province's martial arts assessment will be held in our Green Spirit City this year."
Chapter 14
Your Mission Is to Not Embarrass Us!
Soon, it was time for the martial arts assessment.
The martial arts assessment was held in provinces. They would then choose a city as the assessment venue.
This time, it was Green Spirit City.
For this reason, Green Spirit City made a lot of preparations three months ago.
First, they spent a considerable sum of money to prepare a grand welcome ceremony and generous rewards for the students of the various cities.
Moreover, a large number of patrol officers were transferred from another city to ensure the safety of the martial arts assessment.
"Hello everyone, this is Hai Province TV Station!
"I'm the reporter in charge of the martial arts assessment live broadcast. I'm also your friend, Bingbing!"
In order to ensure fairness, the martial arts assessment would be broadcasted live.
Now, Hai Province TV Station's live-stream helicopter hovered over Green Spirit City.
"Now, everyone can see that the audience seats around the Green Spirit City Stadium are already filled with the parents of the students.
"In another five minutes, every student who has passed the student assessment will appear."
The camera panned across every corner of the audience.
Every parent was excited and cheered for their child with a support stick. Mr. and Mrs. Lu were also among them.
Especially Mr. Lu, who got a flag from somewhere. On it was engraved "My son, Lu Benwei, has the bearing of a top scholar!"
Of course, it was only to support Lu Benwei.
Mr. Lu did not think that Lu Benwei would achieve good results.
Lu Ziling also waved her little flag and cheered for Lu Benwei.
Not long after, the sweet voice of the Hai Province reporter Bingbing sounded again.
"Alright, now our Hai Province's future prodigy is about to appear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the solemn march began. The various students entered one after another.
"This martial arts assessment is also a gathering of all kinds of geniuses."
Bingbing began to explain to the crowd the information the official handed over.
"The first to enter is Canglong City High School.
"The first place in Canglong City High School's student assessment is Chen Lei. Chen Lei has awakened the berserk dragon talent and has already successfully changed his class to a warrior."
"A warrior paired with a berserk dragon talent is invincible!"
"Next up is…"
…
"The second last to enter is Yuntian City High School, and their representative is a girl who has awakened in the assassin class.
"Don't underestimate her.
"A beautiful girl who has awakened the shadow storm talent. She kills people every ten steps and doesn't leave anyone behind!"
Bingbing's face was sinister, making those watching the live broadcast shudder.
Then, the only one left was Green Spirit City High School.
"Next is the host college of this martial arts assessment, Green Spirit City High School.
"The first place in the Green Spirit City High School student assessment is a student named Lu Benwei.
"His class is… Eh? How can he be a supporter?"
Bingbing was shocked by Lu Benwei's introduction and blurted out the words.
Then, he realized that something had happened to the live broadcast.
At this moment, the noisy stadium was silent.
"A… supporter?"
"It's fake, right?"
Everyone in the audience of Green Spirit City was in disbelief.
Meanwhile, the faces of the other city spectators had already turned red.
"Haha! The first place in Green Spirit City is a supporter."
"In the past years, Green Spirit City's results were always at the bottom in Hai Province. I'm afraid that they will be the last place this year."
"That's true. After all, trash classes are quite compatible with trash cities."
"The city helped us organize the martial arts assessment and even gave us prizes. Green Spirit City is really selfless!"
On the podium of the stadium, the faces of the leaders of Green Spirit City turned green.
Although the results of every martial arts assessment in Green Spirit City were often unsatisfactory, it was still acceptable overall.
This was the first time he had made such a joke…
Lu Ziling also reminded Mr. Lu softly, "Dad, you should put away the flag… Benwei is now the target of public criticism."
Mr. Lu had mixed feelings. He really did not expect Lu Benwei to be first place in the Green Spirit City student assessment.
"I've really underestimated this brat. No, I have to continue cheering for that brat!" Mr. Lu waved the flag even more wantonly.
Twenty minutes before the assessment officially began, the mayor of Green Spirit City stood up.
"First of all, we welcome the prodigies of the various cities to participate in the annual martial arts assessment! Let me read the rules of this martial arts assessment!"
The mayor of Green Spirit cleared his throat.
"In this assessment, the same academy will form a five-man team. Although individual strength is important, in actual combat, hunting monsters often depends on teamwork!
"Therefore, in the martial arts assessment, there's a lot of teamwork in the final score!
"This martial arts assessment is fair and open!"
As soon as Chen Xiong finished speaking, four tokens rose into the air and immediately turned into four-dimensional dungeons. From small to big, they were blue, yellow, purple, and red.
The mayor of Green Spirit City said again, "This martial arts assessment is divided into four difficult mystic realms."
"White is simple. The final score will be X1. Red is Purgatory difficulty. The final score will be X2!
"Everyone, take a break. The assessment will officially begin in five minutes!"
After the mayor finished speaking, the stadium was in chaos again.
Lu Benwei found the four teammates assigned to him by the school.
Li Tianran was an assassin, Guo Hao was an archer, Liu Dongqing was a magician, and Zhao Kong, who had been scared witless by Lu Benwei.
These four people had more or less seen Lu Benwei's strength, and all of them recommended him as their captain.
However, just as the four of them were chatting, a burly young man walked toward them.
"You're the top student in Green Spirit City High School, Lu Benwei?"
Lu Benwei recognized him. It was Chen Lei from Canglong City High School.
"How can I help you?"
Chen Lei smiled slyly and suddenly extended a hand, then slowly pointed his thumb down. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"A supporter can actually sit down peacefully. How unlucky!"
When the other high school students saw this, they also chuckled and looked at the Green Spirit High School with disdain.
Seeing this, Li Tianran stood up for Lu Benwei. "Who are you looking down on? Be careful not to be played by our Brother Lu!"
Chen Lei sneered. "Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? Just because he's a supporter?"
"I've already been promoted to a warrior. You're a supporter, are you at level five?"
Lu Benwei said indifferently, "Damn, you make it sound like someone hasn't changed their class!"
Li Tianran and the others' eyes lit up. "Brother Lu, you've changed your class?"
The corners of Chen Lei's mouth twitched. This kid had really f*cking fooled him…
"Of course. I changed my class to become a magician!"
Everyone was speechless. "?"
Li Tianran and the others' faces instantly darkened.
'Big Brother, it's better not to say it out loud.'
When the surrounding people heard that Chen Lei had become a magician, they laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes.
"Magician… Hahaha… Trash among trash!"
At this moment, four-dimensional dungeons suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Everyone understood that the martial arts assessment had begun.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Benwei stepped forward.
"The world is laughing at me for being too crazy. I'm laughing at how others can't see through me!"
"You guys, I'm afraid I'll slaughter the monsters too quickly. You have to keep up!"
"What's this kid trying to show off for?"
"A supporter trash will probably be beaten to death if he goes to the simplest mystic realm, right?"
Lu Benwei's posture and words were all captured.
However, Lu Benwei crossed the mystic realm and directly jumped into the dungeon that emitted red light.
Purgatory mystic realm!
Everyone was shocked.
"How dare this kid?"
"In the purgatory mystic realm, there might be level 15 to 20 monsters. Even with the secret protection of the invigilator, there's no way to guarantee his life, right?"
In the corner of the rostrum, the principal of Green Spirit City High School's heart skipped a beat.
"Child, it doesn't matter if you embarrass me. Your life is more important!"
Mr. and Mrs. Lu were also shocked speechless.
"Could it be that this child was provoked by Chen Lei and chose the purgatory mystic realm because he felt embarrassed?"
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. Benwei isn't an impulsive person!"
Lu Ziling comforted him, but her heart was also clenched.
Chapter 15
Brother Lu, Where Did You Get the Brother Mighty?
[You have entered the mystic realm!]
[Current location: Zone C outside the Spirit Forest!]
As soon as Lu Benwei entered the mystic realm, a light blue holographic projection screen appeared in front of him.
The location where the students entered the mystic realm was random.
At first, there was only Lu Benwei alone in this area.
Later, because he was on a team with Li Tianran, Guo Hao, and the others, Li Tianran and the other three followed Lu Benwei into the Spirit Forest.
"Brother Lu, tell me, did you go the wrong way?"
"The entrance to the mystic realm hasn't closed yet. It's not too late for us to go back."
Behind him, Li Tianran's timid voice sounded.
Lu Benwei patted his shoulder. "Since you're already here, aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself if you don't make a name for yourself?"
Li Tianran was about to cry. "But our lives are the most important!"
Lu Benwei was speechless.
This guy was such a coward, but he was an assassin.
Zhao Kong stood up and said, "Brother Lu is right. Since we're here, we must make a name for ourselves. Don't forget that our Brother Lu is a cheater!"
This guy had become quite polite after being taught a lesson by Lu Benwei.
Li Benwei pouted, trying to think of something else to say…
"Quiet!"
Liu Dongqing and Lu Benwei, who were magicians, roared at the same time.
"Listen!" Lu Benwei gestured for them to keep quiet.
The five-man team fell silent.
In the next second, except for Lu Benwei, the expressions of the remaining four changed.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
…
The ground trembled. In the distance, forest smoke rose into the sky. The drum-like vibrations were slowly approaching him.
"The monsters are approaching us?!" Li Tianran and the others exclaimed!
Lu Benwei immediately activated [Eye of Insight].
He instantly knew about the monsters.
[Spirit Rat]
[Characteristics: It is huge and has a certain amount of brute force. It appears in groups.]
[Weakness: Neck. The level of the Spirit R at will not exceed level ten.]
After learning this information, Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief.
Its level was not high, and it had a fatal weakness.
These monsters were here to help them gain experience!
"Everyone, don't panic. They are the Spirit Rats. Their level is low, and their weakness is their neck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Benwei took out a small knife.
He waved it gently at a charging Spirit Rat.
"Pfft!"
The Spirit Rat was instantly beheaded, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
The other four were skeptical and attacked the Spirit Rat's neck at the same time.
"Pu pu pu—"
Four Spirit Rats fell in a row, and the four of them were overjoyed!
At this moment, Lu Benwei's situation was clearly seen by the people outside.
"The supporter is really unlucky to encounter the Spirit Rats right from the start!"
"A newborn calf really isn't afraid of tigers. He actually dares to fight head-on with the Spirit Rats."
"Although the Spirit Rats are low-level, there are too many of them. Even a level 20 hunter would have to avoid them."
"Other than Liu Dongqing, who is a magician, the other members of the team aren't that strong!"
The banter from the audience made Lu Benwei's family clench their fists.
…
"Knight's Might!"
"Charge!"
Zhao Kong raised his personal weapon, spear and shield, and attacked the Spirit Rats.
The attention of the Spirit Rats was instantly attracted by Zhao Kong.
Guo Hao drew his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.
"Rain of Arrows!"
Arrows rained down, each arrow sending an icy chill through the air.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Many Spirit Rats were shot in the back of the neck.
"Summon: Fireball!"
Liu Dongqing was a Summoner magician. He summoned a fireball the size of a car and threw it straight at the weak Spirit Rat.
Their weak points were hit by the rain of arrows. Coupled with the burning effect of the fireball, Liu Dongqing quickly dealt with a large group of Spirit Rats.
The remaining Spirit Rats were dealt with by Li Tianran.
The air in this area was thick with the smell of blood and burning. The five of them pinched their noses and finished counting the corpses.
After that, Li Tianran asked, "Brother Lu, how did you know that the weakness of the Spirit Rat is its neck?"
"Just now, I slashed the back of the neck of a group of Spirit Rats with my dagger."
"That's right, Brother Lu. If you hadn't told us the weakness of the Spirit Rats in time, we might have been eliminated now." Guo Hao and Liu Dongqing also praised him.
"Follow Brother Lu and you'll be full for ten meals in three days!"
Lu Benwei did not intend to hide it. "It's my innate skill. I can see the weakness of monsters."
Li Tianran's eyes instantly turned into stars. "Damn, can you teach me?"
Zhao Kong patted Li Tianran's head fiercely. "He already said that it's an innate skill!"
Then, he suggested, "In my opinion, we'll hunt monsters with Brother Lu. I believe we'll definitely achieve a good result."
Everyone agreed and headed deeper into the Spirit Forest.
At the same time, outside the mystic realm.
The stadium stands were stunned.
Even level 20 hunters had to avoid the Spirit Rats, but this group of young men who had just graduated from high school had actually wiped them out?!
"Not a single one was left behind. How brutal!"
"I actually underestimated these young men. How embarrassing!"
Some people praised him, while others disdained him.
"Tsk, they're just a group of low-level Spirit Rats. What's so strange about them being wiped out?"
"Look at that supporter. From the beginning to the end, he didn't move at all. The bulk of the loot is with that knight, magician, and archer."
However, the audience was still amateurs and could not tell what was going on.
A group of elderly men sat in a house inside the stadium.
All of them were dignified and exuded a dignified aura.
At this moment, their expressions were solemn as they stared fixedly at the holographic projection in front of them.
"Lu Benwei actually knows that the weakness of the Spirit Rat is its neck. He's not as simple as he seems to be!"
"Could it be a fluke?"
"Was it a fluke? I don't think so. Just now, he used that magician to summon a few water balls and killed a nest of wolf ants effortlessly!"
"You actually know that the Five-Legged Ape's weakness is its tail!"
"His information support is amazing! The number of monsters hunted by this team has already far exceeded the second place."
They were the people in charge of the evaluation of the martial arts assessment in Hai Province. Their statuses were prominent, and their strength was even more extraordinary. Every time they appeared, they would attract the worship of the audience outside.
At the same time, there were also professors from the various Hunter Academies who came to recruit their favorite students.
"It's a pity that he's a supporter. Otherwise, he'd be a great weapon against monsters."
"There's no hurry. Let's observe first."
An old man with thick eyebrows said. In the next second, he typed "Second Class" on Lu Benwei's information column.
The scene returned to the mystic realm.
Li Tianran threw down his dagger. "Brother Lu, I'm too tired. Let's rest for a while!"
Even the arrogant Zhao Kong could not take it anymore. "That's right, and we've already reached the middle section. We've encountered many monsters that are close to level 10. If we don't rest, we won't be able to take it."
Lu Benwei looked up at the sky.
The martial arts assessment was not like the student assessment where there was a scoreboard. There was only a clock hanging in the sky.
A third of the time had passed and there was still no sign of the other teams. He had no idea what rank they were in.
Lu Benwei did not want to waste time. "Have you guys eaten brother mighty before?" 𝑙𝑖𝑏𝓇𝘦𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The four of them smiled awkwardly. "Brother Lu, we're still young. How can we eat that?"
Lu Benwei chuckled. "Now I'll let you try."
[Heavenly Dog's Fury] was instantly used, and the shadows of Heavenly Dog appeared on the five of them at the same time.
Li Tianran and the other three suddenly felt an inexplicable force descend from the sky and pour into their limbs and bones. Their meridians stretched out, and their fists and limbs seemed to be hiding a great deal of energy.
"Brother Lu, where did you get this? Why is it different from what I bought previously?"
Chapter 16
Battlefield Support, Lu Benwei!
[Heavenly Dog's Fury] 𝒍𝓲𝙗𝒓𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝙘𝒐𝓶
Effect: After use, all attributes within 30 seconds will increase by 20 percent (can be used on oneself or selected targets).
Cooldown: 45 seconds.
Increasing all attributes by 20 percent was enough to increase the hunter's strength by another level.
At the same time, his stamina continued to recover, and his previous fatigue dissipated.
At this moment, they were facing a monster with an extremely strong desire to fight.
[Battle Humanoid Ape. Level: nine]
[Characteristics: As long as alive, the battle continues!]
[Weakness: fragile skull]
Outside the mystic realm, the various authorities clicked their tongues when they saw Lu Benwei's team encounter an extremely difficult combat ape.
"A level-nine Combat Humanoid Ape is an existence that can fight above its level!"
"Be it attack or defense, it's a top existence."
"What's even more terrifying is that the Combat Humanoid Ape has a trace of intelligence and knows that its skull is fragile…"
"These brats are in trouble!"
"Why do I remember that these brats looked so tired just now? Why are they suddenly so energetic?"
The scene returned to the mystic realm.
Lu Benwei's team fought the Combat Humanoid Ape for a while.
"Retreat!"
Li Tianran, who was in mid-air, retracted his strength and curled up. He somersaulted a few times in the air and distanced himself from the Combat Humanoid Ape.
Zhao Kong also raised his shield and retreated to Lu Benwei's side.
Seeing that Lu Benwei and the others were suddenly in a group, the ape thought that the five of them were afraid of his might and laughed.
Lu Benwei and the others also laughed.
"This silly monkey still doesn't know what's about to happen!"
"Brother Lu, has your brother cooled down?"
Lu Benwei licked his lips. "I've already prepared it!"
[Heavenly Dog's Fury] activated!
A ferocious phantom of the Heavenly Dog appeared behind Li Tianran and the others. A surging power descended from the sky and poured into their bodies.
"Rumble—"
The four of them felt their hearts beating like war drums. All their attributes had increased by 20 percent!
"Storm Sting!"
"Knight's Might!"
"Arrow Strike!"
"Summon: Fireball!"
Zhao Kong and the other three tried their best.
The ape was stunned and even forgot to defend.
Before it died, a thought appeared in its mind: Why were these four suddenly so brave?
After the smoke dissipated, the Combat Humanoid Ape had long turned into a charred corpse.
The judges' room was as silent as death.
"Why do these brats suddenly look like they're on steroids?"
Someone's mouth twitched. "According to the secret outposts in the secret realm, they seem to call this kind of enhancement skill: brother mighty…"
"Did the hidden sentry reveal the name of this nonsensical skill?" an old man in the lead said angrily.
"No, no, no. According to the secret sentry, Li Tianran, Zhao Kong, and the others' attributes increased by at least 15 percent!"
"All attributes increased by 15 percent?!"
All the authorities in the judges' room widened their eyes.
Even though they were experienced and knowledgeable, they could not help but be shocked when they heard the number.
It had to be known that it was already quite good to be able to increase a person's attributes by five percent!
As for support skills that could increase all attributes by 15 percent, it was a group effect.
It could be considered a divine skill!
"This child's future is limitless!"
"That's right, that's right. Increase all attributes by 15 percent. I really want to see what it feels like."
Many people looked at Lu Bingwei on the screen with joy in their eyes.
Of course, there were plenty of snorts.
"But in the end, he's still a supporter. According to the information, he even changed his class to the most useless magician. His future growth is limited!"
"In the end, it's still because the support class is too useless."
The thick-browed old man, who had a good impression of Lu Benwei previously, was unwilling to accept this. "He already has this talent, so how can he be crippled? Just that group attribute increase alone is enough to make many hunting teams envious in the future!"
Someone continued to scoff. "You want to attract the hunting team with just that? Dream on!"
"Everyone knows about the Blue Planet. The most troublesome thing about the support class is its low combat strength."
"This kid has been surrounded from the beginning to the end. When he's really on the battlefield, we still have to pay attention to his safety."
"But…" The thick-browed old man still wanted to argue for Lu Benwei.
Someone continued, "Don't be naive. For those few seconds of attribute enhancement, it's better to recruit another non-supporting class."
His voice barely faded.
On the screen in the scoring room, the phantom of a Heavenly Dog appeared behind Lu Benwei and the others again.
After Guo Hao finished off a level-nine monster, his body emitted light!
"Brother Lu, I leveled up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Kong and Li Tianran also lit up.
"I've finally reached level nine. It wasn't easy!"
Li Tianran was the happiest.
Originally, he was the lowest-level existence in the five-person team and was only at level six.
Then, he followed Zhao Kong and Guo Hao and picked up the scraps. He advanced two levels in a row.
"As expected of Brother Lu, you get to eat nine meals in three days!"
Lu Benwei and Guo Hao's levels did not change.
Guo Hao was level 10 and had yet to complete his Class Advancement, so his level would not increase.
On the other hand, Lu Benwei did not trigger the [Ten Times Profit] buff, so his experience increase was slower.
At this moment, the various authorities in the scoring room were stirred up again.
"Damn, this kid is a cheater, right? How long does the cooldown of this enhancement skill last?"
"It's only been a minute since just now, but the cooldown time for this group attribute enhancement skill has changed again?"
"Doesn't this group's all-attribute enhancement skill have a backlash effect?"
It was common knowledge on the Blue Planet that all attributes enhancement skills had a long cooldown time and had a backlash effect.
They had all tacitly agreed to this just now, so they did not talk much about it.
As for Lu Benwei's group attribute enhancement skill, not only did it have a short cooldown time, but it also did not seem to have a backlash effect.
It could be said to be heaven-defying!
"It's really tempting!"
"I want to capture this kid and study him properly."
The faces of those who had been prejudiced against the support class burned as if they had been slapped.
The thick-browed old man smiled and said, "I told you. Don't underestimate this kid."
"A profession like a magician, which seems to be very useless and can't even learn skills, can actually become such powerful support in the hands of Lu Benwei.
"Although he doesn't have any powerful combat strength, with his heaven-defying talent, he can definitely become the strongest battlefield support!"
After saying that, he took out Lu Benwei's information and changed his name to "Special Class" in the "Admission Level Waiting" column!
However, at this moment, a large hand appeared behind the thick-browed old man and snatched Lu Benwei's information.
Then, the person directly changed the word "Special Class" to "First Class"!
The thick-browed old man was furious. He was an existence respected by tens of thousands of people outside. How dare someone change his decision in front of him?
However, when he turned around and saw who it was, his anger instantly dissipated.
All the authorities present stood up and looked at that person sincerely.
The newcomer was much younger than the old man with thick eyebrows, but his figure was as tall as a mountain.
His thin face looked as if it had been cut with a knife. He looked angry.
"There's no hurry. Let's wait a little longer!" the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Chapter 17
Lu Benwei, How Dare You Say You Didn't Cheat?
Lu Benwei's team continued deeper into the Spirit Forest.
Halfway through, Lu Benwei activated the One-Click Skill Support.
After continuous battles, the proficiency of [Heavenly Dog's Fury] successfully reached Grade B.
[Heavenly Dog's Fury]
[Proficiency: B]
[Effect: After use, all attributes within 60 seconds will increase by 40 percent (can be used on oneself or selected targets. Maximum number of people to use: 10)]
[Cooldown: 15 seconds]
Lu Benwei was momentarily distracted.
Duration of 60 seconds, 40 percent increase in all attributes, and a maximum of 10 targets.
Any one of them could be considered a heaven-defying existence!
"Brother Lu, why is your brother becoming more and more powerful?" After killing a monster, Li Tianran immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"That's right. Your brother might be too abnormal." Guo Hao also felt that this all-attribute enhancement skill was a little too ridiculous. "Moreover, we haven't suffered any backlash until now. Will he squeeze us dry after we're done?"
Lu Benwei kicked both of their butts again.
"You two are so troublesome. The backlash effects are all reflected on me. Don't worry and use it!"
He also felt that the [Heavenly Dog's Fury] was too ridiculous. If he went out, he might become the target of public criticism.
Doubtful, the four returned to the fight.
Lu Benwei also casually killed a few heavily injured monsters.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering ten times the experience!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching level 11!]
The four of them were delighted to see the upgrade beam appear on Lu Benwei.
"Brother Lu, you've finally leveled up!"
"You should be at level 11 now, right?"
Lu Benwei snorted, but as soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky again.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching level 12!]
Everyone was shocked. "Brother Lu, aren't you too fierce?"
"You ate the real mighty brother!"
Lu Benwei looked slightly embarrassed because his experience bar was still concerned about his astonishing growth rate.
The blinding beam shot into the sky again.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching level 13!]
"?"
Li Tianran, Liu Dongqing, and the others were dumbfounded.
'Good lord, we're here to pass the martial arts assessment. You're here to farm experience dungeons, right?'
Lu Benwei did not say much. He gave the order to continue deeper into the Spirit Forest.
The power of the [Heavenly Dog's Fury] had increased, and the four of them became stronger.
As the five of them continued the battle, the people outside the mystic realm were stunned.
"Did the organizers make a mistake? Is this the purgatory mystic realm? Why is it like a children's paradise?"
"Probably not. Look at this supporter's team. Their points are much higher than the second place."
"I can't believe this is the performance of a high school student in Green Spirit City."
The discussion in the audience reached the ears of the principal of Green Spirit City High School from time to time.
At this moment, the corners of his mouth were grinning to the back of his head.
"Lu Benwei, I was right about you! In the future, you'll definitely make everyone look at you in a different light!"
At the side, Mr. Yuan could not stop smiling. "That's right. With Lu Benwei, our Green Spirit City High School will be able to get rid of the title of the last place this year!" 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂
"Maybe this kid can even become the first martial arts top scorer in history as a supporter."
They brazenly revealed how difficult it had been for them over the years, but they did not expect it to cause dissatisfaction among the other academies.
"Why are you so smug?"
"Aren't they just a few low-level murderers? The real test is yet to come."
"Remember, support is always a useless profession!"
The person who said this was a middle-aged woman wearing a pair of flamingo glasses. She was sitting in the resting area of Cangloong City High School.
Mr. Yuan chuckled and said, "I was wondering who it was. So, it's Teacher Liu Meimei from Cangloong City High School."
"Your school's Chen Lei is ranked behind Lu Benwei. Since his support class is trash, don't tell me that Chen Lei is worse than trash?"
Liu Meimei immediately cursed, "Stop it now!
"Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that your representative team from Green Spirit City High School killed low-level monsters and relied on others to earn a lot of points!"
Mr. Yuan held back his tears. "Doesn't this mean that your school is inferior to ours?"
Liu Meimei was exasperated and blurted out all kinds of obscenities.
"Alright, stop arguing. Whether it's a mule or a horse, can't you just pull it out in the end?"
The person who spoke was the principal of Yuntian City High School. The first place in the school was an assassin with the talent of shadow storm. She was also a strong competitor for the top scorer of this year's martial arts assessment in Hai Province.
"However, don't celebrate too early. Lu Benwei has never made a move from the beginning to the end, so his score won't be too high."
"The Hai Province champion is either Chen Lei or our Nan Nan!"
…
The scene returned to the mystic realm, and Lu Benwei led the team deeper into the Spirit Forest.
"Stop!"
"Something's happening!"
Lu Benwei's Eye of Insight caught a hint of danger.
In the gloomy jungle in the distance.
"Rumble!"
An explosion immediately sounded, and the five-man team all smelled the thick smell of blood.
Out of curiosity, Lu Benwei's team of five carefully crossed the jungle.
An empty flat area came into view.
Zhao Kong suddenly roared, "Look!"
The four of them looked in the direction Zhao Kong was pointing. Two monsters were attacking the students in front of them!
[Ghost. Level: 13]
[Talent: Ghost Raid]
[Minotaur. Level: 12]
[Talent: Berserk Attack]
Lu Benwei softly read out the information about the two monsters.
Li Tianran's expression immediately turned ugly. "Level 13 and 12. This is the first time we've encountered such a high-level monster, right?"
However, to his relief, these two monsters were fighting with the representative of Canglong City High School, Chen Lei.
In the current situation, two of Chen Lei's team of five had already fallen.
Chen Lei was half-naked, panting heavily.
Earlier, he had fought the minotaur. His shirt had long been torn to pieces.
"What goes around comes around!"
"Brother Lu, let's go!"
Li Tianran gloated and laughed openly.
Laughter immediately attracted the attention of Chen Lei's team.
"Lu Benwei, you can enter the depths of the mystic realm?!"
Chen Lei exclaimed, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
No matter how pathetic their team was now, they would not place their hopes on a useless magician.
Lu Benwei's lips curled upward at the sight.
A second later, he had his Heavenly Dog Sword and Horn Shield out.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
"Don't tell me you want to help Chen Lei?"
Outside the mystic realm, Lu Benwei's actions also attracted the attention of many people.
"What's going on? Lu Benwei wants to take action personally?"
"That's impossible. A magician has no combat strength at all!"
Lu Benwei turned around and said calmly, "Of course, I'm not that kind! I just suddenly want to know how strong I am at level 13."
Chapter 18
I'll Give You a Treasure!
At this moment, Chen Lei and the others kept using their skills and attacks.
"Dragon Breath Slash!"
Chen Lei brandished his broadsword with explosive strength.
"Moo!"
The Minotaur howled and raised his thick left leg.
"Boom!"
The ground instantly cracked like a spider web, and hot ground gas seeped out continuously.
Chen Lei could not dodge in time. His eyes were blinded by the earth's energy, and his vision instantly darkened.
After losing his sight, Chen Lei did not panic at all and turned his attention to his hearing.
"On the right!"
Chen Lei changed his attack and swung his broadsword to the right.
"Tink!"
For a moment, Chen Lei felt as if he had struck a thick iron plate.
The massive recoil split the web between his thumb and forefinger.
Chen Lei's eyes widened in anger.
The Minotaur's skin was so hard that even his strongest attack could not hurt him.
"Moo!"
The Minotaur howled triumphantly. Then his right foot began to scrape the ground.
"It's the Minotaur's violent attack!"
"Chen Lei, dodge!"
Outside the mystic realm, Liu Meimei slammed the table and stood up.
Violent attacks were extremely fast and powerful.
Ordinary people would either die or be injured!
Chen Lei heard the rustling sound of the Minotaur's feet rubbing against the ground and immediately had a bad feeling.
When he first encountered the Minotaur, he had already witnessed a violent attack. In an instant, it shattered their formation and made two of his teammates lose their ability to fight.
Chen Lei instinctively ran back, but because his eyes had yet to regain their sight, he bumped into a tree.
"It's over, it's over! I didn't expect that I, Chen Lei, would stop here!"
Chen Lei's heart turned cold, and the pride on his face was long gone.
"Minotaur, look here!"
Chen Lei's expression changed. Was that Lu Benwei?
He struggled to open his eyes and saw Lu Benwei waving at the Minotaur, holding up a red trousers.
The Minotaur's eyes instantly turned red with anger, and two balls of hot air could be seen between its nostrils.
"He used a red object to anger the Minotaur. Is this kid crazy?"
Chen Lei and the audience outside the mystic realm had the same thought.
"Moo!"
The Minotaur threw his head back and howled. The ground seemed to shake.
Berserk Attack!
The earth rumbled as the Minotaur crashed toward Lu Benwei.
It was so fast that the eye could not catch its figure.
However, Lu Benwei stood rooted to the ground with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Is this kid crazy?"
"Hurry up and dodge!"
Everyone's hearts clenched.
In the distance, the hidden sentry responsible for guarding the students' safety was as nervous as an arrow on a bow, ready to attack at any moment.
However, the result surprised everyone.
"Is… is this a shadow?"
All of them saw with their own eyes that the Minotaur had passed through Lu Benwei and missed.
A second later, Lu Benwei gave them their answer.
He saw Lu Benwei emerge from his shadow. The phantom had vanished.
[Ghost Shadow]
After activating it, one could temporarily obtain the ability to communicate with the shadow and fuse oneself into the shadow. At the same time, a clone would be left behind. The clone could not move or attack.
Duration: 30 seconds.
Lu Benwei did not hesitate for a moment. He activated [Heavenly Dog's Fury]!
A huge phantom of a Heavenly Dog loomed behind him, looking dignified!
[Heavenly Dog Sword]
It had its own fire attribute attack!
Level 13 attack power suppressed the defense of a level-12 Minotaur. In addition, the [Heavenly Dog's Fury] increased all attributes by 40 percent!
Lu Benwei's attack reached a terrifying level, easily breaking through the Minotaur's defense!
"Boom!"
The Minotaur became a fireball in plain sight.
They all started.
"Damn, am I an assassin, or is Brother Lu an assassin?" Li Tianran questioned.
"Not to mention an assassin, even a warrior of the same level doesn't have such terrifying attack power, right?"
Chen Lei was even more shocked. "Lu Benwei, are you really a magician?"
Lu Benwei did not even look at him. "What else?"
"…"
Chen Lei immediately felt like he was about to vomit blood, but he had nowhere to vent it. After all, he had just saved him.
However, before he could get up, a large group of students from other high schools suddenly appeared around him.
They looked flustered. They had obviously been forced here.
"What's going on?"
Chen Lei could not help but ask when he saw that there was a genius from Yuntian City High School, Liu Nannan.
Under Liu Nannan's long eyelashes, she could not hide the fatigue in her bright eyes.
"We encountered a group of level 10 monsters, Shadow Wolves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless green eyes lit up in the deep forest around the clearing.
"Now isn't the time to talk nonsense. We should work together!"
A Shadow Wolf posed no threat to Liu Nannan.
However, most of the monsters were in groups.
Hence, Liu Nannan deliberately lured these monsters into the crowd.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into Chen Lei from Canglong City High School. Even the useless supporter from Green Spirit City High School was here.
"Hey, supporter, heal us later!" Liu Nannan ordered arrogantly.
Lu Benwei laughed. "What? Don't I have a name?"
"Since you don't know my name, you can call me Brother Wei! When we fight later, I'll give you a big reward!"
Liu Nannan's pretty face darkened. "I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you!"
Chen Lei was overjoyed to see Lu Benwei's defeat.
What was there to be proud of, defeating a Minotaur by luck?
'Isn't it all because I used up its energy and health before? I'll show you, trash, what a true genius of the academy is like later!'
The war between humans and beasts was about to begin!
"Mad Dragon Talent!"
"Mad Dragon Claw Strike!"
Chen Lei tried his best to prove himself by using his most talented and proficient skill!
"Howl!"
A level-10 Shadow Wolf fell to the ground.
The other students with ordinary talent used all their strength to kill a level-10 Shadow Wolf.
"Lu Benwei, did you see that? This is the true strength of the academy's prodigies!"
Similarly, Liu Nannan effortlessly killed a level-10 Shadow Wolf.
The two of them smiled at each other and looked in Lu Benwei's direction.
However, the two of them were instantly shocked.
The corpses of the Shadow Wolves at Lu Benwei's feet had already piled up into a small mountain.
"It's not real, right?"
"How is this possible? Is a magician so powerful?"
Liu Nannan blurted out subconsciously.
"Don't worry about that for now. It's more important to deal with the level-13 Shadow Wolf now." Chen Lei's expression was dark.
Liu Nannan looked back and saw a huge Shadow Wolf with bared fangs spitting hot air at the two of them.
"Level 13, two levels higher than me…"
Liu Nannan turned pale, as did Chen Lei.
The Shadow Wolf was known for its speed. After reaching level 13, its speed was 30 percent faster than Liu Nannan, who was the fastest among the two of them!
Soon, the fatigue on their faces was obvious.
"What should we do?" Liu Nannan was a little anxious.
"Sister, don't panic. I'll give you a big reward!" in the distance, Lu Benwei suddenly spoke.
In the next second, a huge phantom of a Heavenly Dog appeared on Liu Nannan and Chen Lei.
The two of them suddenly felt an inexplicable force descending from the sky and pouring into their limbs and bones.
"Is this the attribute enhancement skill of Proficiency B?!"
Liu Nannan's jaw dropped in shock.
Although she despised Lu Benwei, who was a magician, he could casually throw out a B-rank proficiency skill. How terrifying was this?!
What shocked her even more was that her attributes had increased by 40 percent!
Its speed was above that of the Shadow Wolf!
Soon, Chen Lei and Liu Nannan, whose strength had greatly increased, dealt with this Shadow Wolf.
Lu Benwei was the focus of the entire war between humans and beasts. He used the [Heavenly Dog's Fury] wherever he went.
This pack of Shadow Wolves contributed to their experience points.
Lu Benwei had also reached level 14 after clearing the remaining Shadow Wolf.
Chapter 19
I'm Rushing, Damn It!
Everyone looked at Lu Benwei's glowing upgrade halo in a daze.
"Brother Lu, why did you level up again?" Li Tianran was dumbfounded.
"Again?" Liu Nannan frowned. "Silly assassin kid, why did he say 'again'?"
Chen Lei was also a little curious. "Lu Benwei, what level are you now?"
"Level 14!" Lu Benwei shrugged.
"Level 14?!"
The other high school students' jaws dropped.
Chen Lei swallowed hard.
After he dealt with this group of Shadow Wolves, he reached the peak of level 12, but Lu Benwei was at level 14.
'Are we on the same level?'
Outside the mystic realm, Lu Ziling's eyes revealed a different light.
Lu Benwei performed well in the mystic realm. Be it individual strength or teamwork, they were the best in this group.
"No wonder this kid said that he wanted to go to Yanjing University with his own strength. He's really not bragging," Mr. Lu said happily.
The surrounding audience's discussion completely turned from mockery to shock. As a father, he was extremely proud.
Lu Ziling stared at Lu Benwei on the screen and said, "If nothing goes wrong, Benwei will very likely be accepted by the Nine Great Hunter Colleges. But it's still a little far from Yanjing University." When Lu Ziling said this, her eyes revealed a trace of pity.
On the other hand,
The high school classroom lounge was filled with the laughter of Green Spirit City High School.
"Everyone, I'm sorry. I'll gladly accept this year's best high school."
This was the first time he had felt so proud since becoming principal of Green Spirit City High School.
Now, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Lu Benwei's points had far exceeded that of the second place.
"Hmph! A villain getting his way!"
Liu Meimei, the person in charge of Cangloong City High School, glanced at him.
Previously, she had been suppressing Green Spirit City High School. At that time, she could not help but mock them.
This year, Green Spirit City High School suddenly seemed to be on a roll, making her feel very upset.
The principal laughed even louder at that. Suddenly his smile froze.
At the same time, everyone present stood up.
A series of messages appeared on the hologram in front of him.
[Hidden checkpoint opened!]
[Lu Benwei has entered the hidden checkpoint!]
[Chen Lei and Liu Nannan have entered…]
In the evaluation room, the thick-browed old man slammed the table and stood up. "The monsters in the hidden checkpoint aren't something these students can come into contact with!"
He accused the middle-aged man who had recently arrived. 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝙚𝓪𝒅.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The hidden checkpoint was different from the ordinary mystic realm. Putting aside its higher level, the key was that it would be stronger than monsters of the same level.
The true strength of the hidden checkpoint leader in the purgatory mystic realm was probably level 17.
The mountain-like man did not move. "Calm down. The students aren't stupid. At most, we'll crush the teleportation scroll."
The thick-browed old man pursed his lips and finally chose to sit.
…
In the mystic realm.
Lu Benwei and the others could not help but feel curious when they saw the sudden change in their surroundings.
"What's going on?"
"The sky was still clear earlier. Why is it dark now?"
Chen Lei's face was covered in sweat. "I'm afraid we've entered a hidden checkpoint in the mystic realm."
"Hidden checkpoint?!"
There was a collective gasp.
The hidden checkpoint meant that they would encounter even stronger monsters.
It was very likely that their martial arts assessment would stop here.
'Indeed!'
In the depths of the dark forest, many powerful monsters emerged one after another.
[Bull-Headed Monster. Level: 13. Talent: Berserk Attack!]
[Ghost. Level: 14. Talent: Ghost Raid!]
[Argu Snake. Level: 14. Talent: Poison Attack!]
[Shadow Wolf, Level: 15. Talent: Shadow Claw Strike, Bloody Wolf Roar!]
Everyone gasped again. At the same time, they felt lucky.
Fortunately, these monsters were only slightly stronger than the ones they had encountered before.
Suddenly, Li Tianran sat on the ground.
Lu Benwei went forward to check the situation. "What's wrong?"
With trembling hands, Li pointed into the forest. Everyone followed his gaze and gasped.
Two snake eyes the size of yellow lanterns stared straight at them.
[Argu Snake (Elite). Level: 16. Talent: Deadly Poison, Poison Fang Attack, Tail Swing Attack]
Many people were so frightened by this elite-level Argu Snake that they sat on the ground.
"A level-16 elite monster is comparable to a level 18 monster, right?"
In this world, rank was the best proof of strength!
Among them, the highest level was only Lu Benwei, who was a magician. He was only level 14!
Besides, they were just children who had just stepped onto the path of hunters!
"How… How are we going to fight?" Someone's voice trembled.
Chen Lei from Canglong City High School and Liu Nannan from Yuntian City High School also felt a headache coming on.
The two of them came out with an estimation but they were a little short of a satisfactory score.
Originally, after dealing with the Shadow Wolves, it was enough to deal with normal mystic realm leaders.
However, before the assessment ended, a hidden checkpoint was triggered.
"Rumble!"
The elite-level Argu Snake moved, and the world began to shake.
It lifted its huge body over the big tree and frantically flicked its tongue at the students.
"Damn, I'm not playing anymore!"
"Damn, at most, I'll repeat a year and start all over again!"
Some people could not help but crush their teleportation scrolls.
A purple teleportation screen lit up and dimmed. In the end, only the geniuses from the various high schools were left.
"Damn, it can't end like this!" Chen Lei suddenly roared. He was really unwilling to leave just like that.
"Let's join forces. The Argu Snake will either die or be injured!"
After hearing this, the geniuses of the various high schools gritted their teeth and executed their powerful attacks!
"Mad Dragon Talent, release!"
Chen Lei's aura soares, and the veins on his body bulged. Even his figure became larger.
"Mad Dragon Claw Strike!"
"Shadow Storm!"
"Wave Shadow Killing Formation!"
"Summon: Wind, Fire, Wood, Water!"
Liu Dongqing and the others did not stay idle either. They joined the attack sequence of the various geniuses.
The Argu Snake flicked its tongue and looked down at this group of "ants" and gently flicked its tail.
Tail Swing Attack!
When the geniuses' dazzling skills hit its tail, sparks flew.
Then, the snake tail continued to sweep, rolling smoke and dust like a magnificent army.
Many of the skills were deflected. Chen Lei was dumbfounded. Was this the strength of an elite monster?
"Lu Benwei, how many more times can you use that enhancement skill of yours?"
Chen Lei thought of Lu Benwei first. However, when he looked back, he realized that Lu Benwei was fighting another Ghost alone.
"Lu Benwei, come and fight together!" Chen Lei ordered, "Otherwise, we'll all die here!"
Lu Benwei finished off the Ghost and turned to deal with a Shadow Wolf. Then, he said, "I'm rushing, damn it!"
Chen Lei was dumbfounded. 'You're lying through your teeth!'
"This guy is relying on hunting monsters to quickly break through!" Liu Nannan discovered something. "He's about to reach level 15 and awaken his innate skill. Perhaps we really have a chance!"
She had already seen how terrifying Lu Benwei was and immediately agreed with him.
Chen Lei looked embarrassed. He had pinned his hopes on a magician. His pride would not allow him to do so.
However, as the elite-level Argu Snake used its Poison Fang Attack, batch after batch of geniuses fell.
Chen Lei shouted again, "Everyone, pay attention! Buy time for Lu Benwei!"
At this moment, Lu Benwei was racing against time to hunt monsters.
"Damn, why hasn't [Ten Times Profit] been triggered yet?"
Lu Benwei's hands were numb, but the system still did not budge.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering ten times the experience!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching level 15. The awakening skill is about to be sent!]
Hearing this voice, Lu Benwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 20
Continue, I'll Quietly Watch You Show Off!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the skill—Sharp Blade!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the skill—Group Holy Light!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the skill—Myriad Light Fist!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the skill—Holy Light Shield!]
As the mechanical voice fell, a series of skill information entered Lu Benwei's mind.
[Holy Light Shield]
[Defense skill. After using it, a light shield will form in front of the host. It can resist damage.]
[Sharp Blade]
[Perfect attack bonus can increase the strength of the host's weapon by 30% (for others to use).]
[Group Holy Light]
[Group skill, increase biological four-dimensional attributes within a certain range (the four-dimensional attributes are strength, intelligence, physique, and agility)!]
[Myriad Light Fist]
[Group Attack Skill: You can use a powerful fist of light to attack the target, but its power is relatively weak.]
[Ding! One-Click Support Talent activated!]
With the help of the one-click skill, Lu Benwei learned all the awakening skills.
Looking at the upgraded halo that had dissipated from Lu Benwei's body, the audience in the stands expressed their confusion.
"This kid actually leveled up!"
"But what's the use of a magician awakening his Class Advancement skill?"
The onlookers chattered.
Suddenly there was a harsh comment.
"In my opinion, this kid just wants to take advantage of others' danger and hunt more monsters to increase his ranking."
These words immediately caused a stir in the audience.
"I say, why is this kid so mean?!"
"This kid's character is so low. No Hunter Academy will want him!"
These words naturally reached the ears of Lu Benwei's family.
Mr. Lu clenched his fists. "What kind of person is he? Even if my son doesn't hunt those monsters, his score is enough for you to chase after him for a while."
"Dad, I'll settle scores with those people!" Lu Ziling stood up.
"Forget it, forget it. Let them talk!" Mr. Lu stopped him. "Let's focus on Benwei's assessment first!"
…
In the mystic realm, the elite-level Argu Snake noticed Lu Benwei, who had just leveled up in the distance.
The Argu Snake suddenly trembled, and its dense scales opened and closed.
The creature's instinctive reaction made it feel that Lu Benwei would be a great enemy.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Chen Lei's expression suddenly changed drastically. "It's the overlords skill!"
"Lu Benwei, be careful!"
Mystic realm leaders usually had two overlord skills.
[Flag: Can command ordinary monsters in the mystic realm!]
[Berserk: Increases all attributes of all monsters within range!]
'Indeed!'
With both Flag and Berserk, the strength of all the ordinary monsters present soared, and they all approached Lu Benwei!
Lu Benwei was calm and even wanted to laugh.
'Perfect. I'll test the waters with you!'
Heavenly Dog's Fury was instantly activated! A huge Heavenly Dog phantom appeared.
The surging power erupted, and Lu Benwei's attributes increased by 40 percent!
In the next second, Lu Benwei used the Myriad Light Fist! A blazing light suddenly appeared, illuminating this dark forest like it was daytime!
Everyone was blinded by the light. Even the monsters that had ambushed him stopped in their tracks.
Before they could catch their breath, a pair of huge white fists appeared above their heads!
"Boom!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a ten times critical strike. The power of the Myriad Light Fist X10!]
However, before the dazzling white light dissipated, the system's voice sounded again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering ten times the experience!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching level 15!]
It was obvious that this group of monsters had been killed by Lu Benwei.
The white light suddenly retreated!
However, at this moment, Lu Benwei's upgrade halo had yet to dissipate.
When everyone saw this, their eyes widened, and their jaws dropped.
'Lu Benwei… leveled up again.'
Moreover, the group of monsters was all beaten into puddles of mud by Lu Benwei.
"I'm tired. Let's destroy it!" The corners of many people's mouths twitched as they vomited blood.
"This guy only used one strike, right?"
"There's no justice in this world. Is this guy still human?" Li Tianran said angrily, "I'll curse you!"
He was only level 9 now, but Lu Benwei's level was already double his!
Of course, although Li Tianran cursed Lu Benwei on the surface, he was really happy for him.
"Isn't this guy a magician?" Chen Lei's heart had long become numb. "Didn't they say that the learning ability of magicians has decreased by 100%?
"But why can Lu Benwei learn so quickly?!"
There was no time for him to think. The most important thing now was to deal with this elite-level Argu Snake!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
On the other side, the elite-level Argu Snake hissed crazily, its yellow eyes bloodshot.
In the next second, it spat out a mouthful of thick purple poison!
Deadly toxin! Death upon contact!
Everyone was shocked. "Chen Lei, run!"
The hidden sentries also jumped out and raced toward Lu Benwei.
The lethal poison released by a level 16 elite Argu Snake was enough to turn hunters of the same level into a pool of blood!
Moreover, Lu Benwei was only level 15!
They knew that Lu Benwei had some means.
However, they did not dare to take the risk. This group of students was the future pillar of strength against monsters. They could not die just like that.
Lu Benwei calmly threw out the Holy Light Shield! A white and holy shield appeared, blocking the path of the lethal poison.
The two collided.
"Clang!"
The lethal poison instantly turned into a ball of purple smoke!
The Holy Light Shield shattered.
The hidden sentries stopped in their tracks instantly. Everyone looked at them in their black robes.
"Teachers, do you want to help?" Lu Benwei smiled.
The sentries' faces darkened. "Continue. We'll quietly watch you show off!"
Lu Benwei chuckled and carried the Heavenly Dog Sword to the Argu Snake.
Seeing this, the Argu Snake immediately used its Tail Swing Attack!
Its thick tail invaded the ground like ten thousand horses!
"Rumble!"
The billowing dust and sand blinded many people.
Chen Lei and the others tried their best to open their eyes.
Lu Benwei used all the enhancement skills he had!
At this moment, he was like a scorching sun! 𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎
[Heavenly Dog's Fury]
[Sharp Blade]
[Holy Light Shield]
[Myriad Holy Light]
Lu Benwei's attributes had also increased to a terrifying level!
"Pa!"
The thick snake tail hit Lu Benwei like it was hitting an iron plate.
Everyone was too shocked to speak.
"Lu Benwei's defense has probably reached level 20, right?"
"A cheater is so terrifying!"
"Damn, is this kid a magician, or a Knight? His defense is so strong!"
Chapter 21
Hai Province Number One, Lu Benwei!
At this moment, Lu Benwei could not be happy.
He had just used the Heavenly Dog Sword to slash at the Argu Snake and realized that it was like an itch to the snake.
When everyone saw the sparks on the Argu Snake, their shock immediately turned into disappointment.
"Unfortunately, no matter how heaven-defying the enhancement skills and growth speed are, he's only a magician. His attack power is pitifully low."
Lu Benwei felt a headache coming on.
He could only take the beating passively now.
Although it could not cause any substantial damage to him, his nerves had to endure a lot of pain when the snake tail hit him.
[Ding! Detected that the host has enough skills. One-Click Skill Support assists in activating the fusion skill function!]
[Heavenly Dog's Fury + Sharp Blade, successfully fused to become Heavenly Dog's Blade!]
[Myriad Holy Light + Holy Light Shield, successfully fused to become Heavenly Light Shield!]
Lu Benwei's system spoke again.
"Fusion skill?"
This was a concept that Lu Benwei had never heard before.
Two strings of skill information entered Lu Benwei's mind.
[Heavenly Dog's Blade. Level 20 fusion skill]
[Effect: Deals 150 percent damage to the target. Powerful!]
[Heavenly Light Shield. Level 20 fusion skill]
[Effect: Resists 50 percent of the damage of all creatures below level 25!]
Lu Benwei looked startled.
The Heavenly Light Shield was still within his comprehension.
50 percent damage against all creatures below level 25!
Coupled with Lu Benwei's own defense, he could even withstand a full-powered attack from a Level 16 elite Argu Snake.
The Heavenly Dog's Blade was completely beyond his imagination.
150 percent powerful hit.
If he combined it with all his enhancement skills, it was very likely that he could instantly kill the Argu Snake!
[One-Click Skill Support] was activated!
Lu Benwei instantly comprehended these two powerful skills!
His mind was much clearer, and his confidence increased!
At this moment, the next wave of attacks from the elite-level Argu Snake arrived.
Deadly Poison!
Tail Swing Attack!
It was very smart. It planned to beat Lu Benwei into pulp the moment the Deadly Poison tore the Heavenly Light Shield apart!
"I wonder if this fusion skill can go back and forth with my previous skill? I'll use you to test the waters!"
Lu Benwei smiled slyly.
Heavenly Light Shield activated!
Seeing this, the snake's tongue spilled out crazily.
This human brat was playing right into its hands!
Crack!
The thick purple phlegm of the Deadly Poison turned into a cloud of smoke at the same time as the Heavenly Light Shield.
However, at this moment, Lu Benwei no longer had anything to defend himself with! He did not even have a defensive stance!
"Is Lu Benwei crazy?"
"Is he planning to resist the Tail Swing Attack with his body?"
Chen Lei and the others were shocked.
Li Tianran and the others instinctively wanted to pull Lu Benwei back. However, it was too late.
The hearts of the spectators outside the mystic realm had already tightened.
"Pa!"
The snake's thick tail bounced back.
Everyone froze. Even the yellow eyes of the snake were filled with shock.
"What's going on?"
"Look at Lu Benwei!"
Everyone turned to Lu Benwei. A white glow suddenly appeared on his body.
It was even holier than the white light reflected by the Heavenly Light Shield!
"This is a full-body defense shield?!"
Unlike the Holy Light Shield, which was a throwing defensive shield, he might make mistakes when he used it, and the trajectory would deviate.
The Heavenly Light Shield was a full-body defense shield that could defend without any blind spots. In return, his defense was low.
Of course, a skill like Heavenly Light Shield was not included!
It negated 50 percent of the attack, in addition to the shield spilled by Lu Benwei's talent skill Barbarian Bloodline (passive).
The Tail Swing Attack of the Argus Snake hit Lu Benwei like an itch through a boot.
"It's fake, right?"
"Is a full-body defense shield that strong?"
"Hiss!"
The hiss of the Argu Snake cut everyone off.
Chen Lei was shocked.
"Crap, the Argu Snake has entered a berserk state!" Li Tianran said.
Chen Lei gave Li Tianran a disdainful look.
"You don't even know the Berserk state!"
Liu Dongqing stood up and explained, "The Berserk state is a skill that every monster has! At the cost of your lifespan, your strength will increase greatly in a short period! During this period, the monsters will attack indiscriminately!"
Zhao Kong also said, "Ignore it for now. Let's go up and help Brother Lu!"
Li Tianran and the other two agreed.
"Don't come over!" Lu Benwei roared at the sound of his teammate's voice.
Chen Lei also advised, "If you go over now, you'll only cause trouble."
"Let's watch quietly and attack when the time is right!"
On the other side, the Argu Snake's eyes had already turned blood-red!
Deadly Poison!
Poison Fang Attack!
Tail Swing Attack!
It no longer held back and instantly activated all its innate skills.
"In a berserk state, can Lu Benwei withstand an all-out attack from the Argu Snake?" Everyone's faces became solemn.
When the three attacks combined, the attack power was not just a simple addition of numbers, but multiplied!
Lu Benwei's full-body defense shield was activated.
Lu Benwei's fall meant that their martial arts assessment had officially ended!
However, Lu Benwei soon gave them the answer.
A holy light swept out, and the Heavenly Light Shield directly blocked 50 percent of the attack!
Heavenly Dog's Fury activated!
Myriad Holy Light activated!
Minor Healing activated!
Lu Benwei's innate skills Barbarian Bloodline (passive) and Minor Healing caused the shields that overflowed to decrease rapidly.
The shield finally stopped dropping the moment it saw the life bar.
Lu Benwei stood straight and unharmed!
"Damn, you're not acting anymore?"
"Brother Lu is really as tough as me. He's experienced in battle, but he still can't fall!" 𝓁𝘪𝘣𝘳ℯ𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝓂
"Is this guy still a magician? I can't stand it!"
No one understood.
However, before everyone could recover from their shock, Lu Benwei took out the Heavenly Dog's Sword.
Heavenly Dog's Fury fused with Sharp Blade to become Heavenly Dog's Blade!
Lu Benwei's aura soared!
A mighty force that surged like the sea emanated from Lu Benwei! He waved the sword! It was so powerful that it made people think that Lu Benwei could cut through the sky!
"Go to hell!"
Lu Benwei held the Heavenly Dog's Blade in both hands and cut open the stomach of the level-16 elite Argu Snake from the bottom up!
One-shot kill!
Everyone stared. Someone rubbed his eyes hard. Someone pinched his thigh frantically.
"Brother Zhao, am I seeing things?"
"Brother Lu defeated the Argu Snake in one strike?"
Li Tianran was shocked.
"Nonsense, I'm not blind!" Zhao Kong's voice was very loud. "By the way, can you pinch yourself?"
Li Tianran smiled awkwardly. "Isn't it painful to pinch myself?"
Outside the mystic realm, the stadium was as silent as death.
Especially the other geniuses who had already gone out, their gazes were even more complicated.
"Lu Benwei, that useless supporter from Green Spirit City High School, actually defeated all of us."
"In other words, Lu Benwei became first place in the martial arts assessment?!"
Chapter 22
Nine Great Hunter Universities Alliance
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an elite monster. The tenfold drop has been triggered!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the Viper Ring!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the Viper Boots!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the Viper Robe!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the Viper Gauntlet!]
Lu Benwei looked startled.
Good lord, he had gathered an entire viper set!
If it were anyone else, they might have to defeat three or four elite-level Argu Snakes before they could receive one or two drops of leader equipment.
All in all, it was extremely difficult to gather an entire set of equipment.
On the other hand, Lu Benwei had already gathered all the viper items after killing just one Argu Snake. If this got out, many people would be so envious that they would turn purple.
Before Lu Benwei could recover, the mechanical voice came again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new skill scroll—Venomous Fang!]
[Venomous Fang. Level: 20 universal skill]
[Quality: Rare!]
[Effect: Each attack will carry 15 percent poison damage. Effect lasts for 5 seconds!]
"Damn! That's a little heaven-defying! That's equivalent to doing 175 percent damage with each attack!"
Lu Benwei used [One-Click Skill Support] to instantly comprehend [Venomous Fang].
He was very confident that with his level 16 strength, it was completely possible for him to fight someone of a higher level!
Then, he put on the full set of viper suits.
"Damn, Brother Lu, why did you suddenly turn green?"
"Too bad. All that's missing is the one on my head."
Li Tianran and the others had already approached Lu Benwei. They looked at him curiously.
"Ahem…"
Lu Benwei put the Viper Set away.
At the same time, he also discovered that apart from the attributes of each piece of viper equipment, after collecting all items of Viper Set, it would also trigger the resonance effect of the set.
His attributes had been greatly improved. Not only that, but a set of skills also appeared in his mind.
[Viper Set]
[Set Effect: Immune to 30 percent of the poison below level 25. Can absorb 15 percent of the poison attack and convert it into your own strength!]
Lu Benwei's eyes were calm. He was already used to such heaven-defying skills in the eyes of outsiders.
"Brother Lu, you're so brave!"
"My admiration for you is endless!"
"From now on, you're my idol. I want to be like you in the future!"
Li Tianran's eyes turned to stars.
Guo Hao and Liu Dongqing also came forward to congratulate him. "If I'm not wrong, Brother Lu, you're this year's Hai Province's top student. You can choose from any of the nine hunter universities!"
Zhao Kong could not hide the envy and respect in his eyes.
The moment Lu Benwei disemboweled the elite Argu Snake, he was completely convinced by Lu Benwei's strength.
Lu Benwei looked at Chen Lei and Liu Nannan.
The two of them were stunned at first. Finally, the blush spread from their faces to the backs of their ears.
It was an indisputable fact that Lu Benwei had become the top student of the Hai Province.
However, he was a magician. Most importantly, before the assessment, the two of them had repeatedly spoken rudely to Lu Benwei.
Now, he had been slapped in the face. As if he was not embarrassed!
Lu Benwei said calmly, "Let's go out. I'm sure the principal and the others can't wait anymore!"
The exit of the purgatory mystic realm had long been opened.
Everyone crowded around Lu Benwei and returned to the real world.
The huge stadium was as silent as death.
The scene of Lu Benwei's one slash ending the elite Argu Snake was still vivid in their minds as if it was right in front of them.
Even though five to six minutes had passed, it was still difficult for everyone to regain their senses.
"Zi… Ziling, tell me quickly, did Benwei really do this?"
"Are we all mistaken?"
Mrs. Lu placed a hand on Lu Ziling's shoulder.
Lu Ziling could even feel the sweat on her palms.
"Mom, can so many people see wrongly?" Lu Ziling asked with a smile.
Mr. Lu suddenly came back to his senses and waved the flag with all his might.
"My son is the best!"
He waved as hard and as high as he ever had. The flag clanged in his hand!
The audience in Green Spirit City was the first to react and instantly erupted into thunderous applause.
"After so many years, our Green Spirit City finally has a top scholar."
"That's right, that's right. Furthermore, he's a magician. In the next three days, the entire Qinglong City will be shaken by our Green Spirit City!"
"Look at Lu Bingwei. He's even happier than when I won five million!"
"Brothers from other cities, what are you waiting for? Applause!"
The applause continued, growing louder.
At this moment, the exit of the purgatory mystic realm flickered.
The prodigies of the other schools jumped out one after another.
The finale was Lu Benwei's team!
The applause reached a crescendo.
Li Tianran waved at everyone, feeling extremely excited.
However, at this moment, many people emerged from the curtain behind the stadium's rostrum.
"Damn, that's the vice-principal of the Central Plains Hunter University. He's here to personally recruit people!"
"And the major general, whose uniform means he's from the Northern Military District. He's here to recruit, too?"
Previously, all the authorities in the scoring room had come out.
One of the reasons they were here was to score the students of Hai Province.
Secondly, they were here to recruit outstanding students.
Once the student was chosen by them, the student would be guaranteed direct admission. There was no need to review the student's results.
Of course, the students who were not selected would also choose the hunter university that matched their scores after the evaluation and reviews officially ended.
The Qinglong City Hunter University was divided into three levels. The first level was the best, and the third level was the worst.
First-class Hunter University was divided into three levels: A-class, B-class, and C-class.
Among them, the A-class was divided into the Nine Great Hunter Universities Alliance, the Dragon East Five Universities Alliance, and the Five Central Universities…
"Chen Lei, right? I'm the deputy director of the Warrior Department at Zhonghai University. We can give you first-class resources."
Zhonghai University was a first-rate Hunter University, second only to the Nine Great Hunter Universities!
At this moment, Zhonghai University had extended an olive branch to Chen Lei.
The others around him instantly cast envious glances. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮
Chen Lei was a little hesitant. At this moment, he did not know his score and felt that he had the ability to compete with the Nine Great Hunter Universities.
"Liu Nannan, you can join Hudan Hunter University if you want, but our school won't pour any resources into you."
The person in charge of Hudan Hunter University said solemnly to Liu Nannan.
Hudan Hunter University was one of the Nine Great Hunter Universities. Liu Nannan did not beg for much.
"Brother Lu, aren't you the top student?"
"Why didn't anyone recruit you?!"
Li Tianran patted Lu Benwei's shoulder.
"Isn't that simple? Look at the way the Nine Great Hunter Universities look at Brother Lu. It's like they're looking at naked beauty."
"They're probably thinking of what tempting conditions to recruit Brother Lu," Liu Dongqing said.
Li Tianran smacked his lips. "I'm so envious. I have to wait for the results to come out. It'll be good enough if I can get a second-rate Hunter University to recruit me."
Then someone tapped him on the shoulder.
"Li Tianran, is it? I'm the person in charge of the Assassin Department of Central Plains Hunter University. Are you willing to come to my school?" a middle-aged man offered.
Li Tianran was stunned. "First-tier B-class university?"
Chapter 23
Man of the Moment, Lu Benwei!
Just as Liu Dongqing had said, the person in charge of the Nine Great Hunter Universities had already sent Lu Benwei's battle scene back to the school.
At this moment, in the Nine Great Hunter Universities Alliance, they were discussing the matter of recruiting Lu Benwei.
"What a monster!"
"Yeah, that's a talent that should have an upgrade experience bonus, right?"
In the conference room of the Hunter University in Shanghai, everyone could not help but click their tongues in amazement when they saw Lu Benwei's promotion.
"The bonus isn't low. The speed of improvement after becoming a magician far exceeds other classes!"
"That's not the most terrifying thing. Look at his group enhancement skill. It's powerful, has a low cooldown, and doesn't have any backlash. Even Elder Mu can't do it, right?"
"It can also detect the weaknesses of monsters. On the battlefield, it will definitely be a great weapon!"
"This child can't be placed in other schools!"
"Contact Thick Eyebrows and give Lu Bingwei the same treatment. Ask him to recruit Lu Benwei!"
"No, the treatment will be raised to a special grade!"
A top hunter university was the first to react.
The other eight universities also began to take action!
On the other side, the news that Green Spirit City High School's student, Lu Benwei, had obtained the top score in the martial arts assessment spread like wildfire throughout the entire Hai Province.
When the people of Hai Province learned that Lu Benwei was a magician with no combat strength, they were all dumbfounded and caused an intense discussion on the Internet.
"It's not true, right? The top scorer is a magician?"
"Chen Lei from Canglong City, Liu Nannan from Yuntian City… Which one of them isn't stronger than Lu Benwei?"
"Lu Benwei is a student of Green Spirit City High School which has always been at the bottom. Coincidentally, this year's martial arts assessment is also at Green Spirit City High School…"
"There must be a conspiracy! We, the citizens of Cangloong City, will jointly appeal!"
"Our Yuntian City isn't convinced either!"
The people of Yuntian City and Canglong City were indignant.
He could not blame them. After all, they were not at the scene and had not seen how Lu Benwei performed.
Moreover, the stereotypes of a magician being useless had already been deeply engraved in people's minds. It was a pity that they have no combat strength and slow learning speed.
Among his peers, the level of the magician was generally much lower than that of other classes. In this world where strength was at this level, it often created the stereotype that magicians were very weak.
Now, they were told that a student in the magician class has won the top student of the Hai Province. Who would have thought that there was something fishy about it?
Of course, there were also many people who supported Lu Benwei.
"What's wrong with being a magician? Did he eat your rice or drink water with your family?"
"Who stipulated that the magician class can't win first place?"
"The martial arts assessment is a national matter. Countless eyes are watching. Who dares to cheat openly?"
At this moment, the official video of Lu Benwei's battle was released.
The brutal scene of him instantly killing a level 10 monster and the bloody scene of him cutting open the stomach of the Argu Snake shocked everyone.
The questioning voices instantly stopped, replaced by exclamations of admiration for Lu Benwei.
"It's fake, right? He killed an elite-level Argu Snake with one strike. You say this was done by a magician?"
"We agreed on supporting him, especially since the speed of a magician's improvement is very slow. But why is Lu Benwei, who graduated from high school, now at level 16?!"
"The textbooks are indeed lies!"
While everyone was amazed, two groups of people admired Lu Benwei to the extreme.
One wave was the citizens of Green Spirit City, while the other wave was the entire magician class.
"This is so satisfying. This year, our Green Spirit City is finally no longer at the bottom."
"I hereby announce that Lu Benwei will be the face of magicians in the future!"
As public opinion continued, the video also reached the Hunter Association in Green Spirit City.
They sat around and watched the video.
"Our Green Spirit City can finally hold our heads high this year. When Lu Benwei graduates, we must try our best to recruit him into the Hunter Association!"
An elderly man in traditional Chinese clothing glowed. He was the president of the Hunter Association in Green Spirit City.
Since there was a top student, he, the president of the Hunter Association in Green Spirit City, could benefit a lot.
"By the way, why didn't you tell me about such an impressive kid when you were helping him awaken?" the old man asked casually.
In the corner, Tang Xu, who had a goatee, was sweating profusely. He felt like he had just survived a calamity.
Fortunately, Lu Benwei had only casually belittled him when he first awakened. If the president found out that he had spoken rudely to him, he would probably pack up and leave.
On the other side, the news that Lu Benwei, the magician, had won the top score in Hai Province spread throughout the country.
After all, this was the first time a magician had reached this level since the martial arts assessment.
In the past, as long as a supporter entered the top five, it would already be sensational news.
When Hai Province officially announced that Lu Benwei had won the assessment, many television stations immediately broadcast this news. Many television stations even contacted experts for this.
"Professor Yi Zhongdi, do you have any unique views on Lu Benwei's victory as Hai Province's top student?"
"For example, why would a magician level up so quickly?" 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Professor Yi Zhongdi faced the camera. "That's actually very easy to understand. He must've awakened some heaven-defying talent during the awakening ritual."
"And what do you think this talent is most likely to be?"
"In my opinion, I think the most likely talent is that Lu Benwei's experience gain speed is faster, or that his skill proficiency is several times faster than ours."
"Well, that explains a lot. It explains why a magician like him improved so quickly."
Meanwhile, in a room of the Hai Province Hunter Association.
A hot teenage girl turned off the TV.
"What fast improvement speed? In my opinion, he's just lucky."
"It's really embarrassing to be in the same batch as such a person!"
"Sister, calm down. It's not worth it to ruin your health for such a person!" A man who looked elegant narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The girl named Jiao still said angrily, "I hope he won't be in the same school as me when the time comes. Otherwise, I'll teach him a lesson!"
"The other party's explosive attack power is no less than yours. Be careful not to be tricked!"
In the corner, a man who looked like a child spoke. He sat in the shadows, making it hard to see his face.
"Now that he's the Hai Province's top student, there's a chance any of us will run into him. I wish that person would be me."
The childlike boy suddenly smiled, showing shark-like teeth.
Outside the house, a man in a military uniform with three stars on his shoulder asked the guard at the door, "Have the students of the Hunter Special Combat Class decided on their future universities?"
The guard saluted the man. "It's been decided!"
The man nodded, satisfied.
The Hunter Special Combat Class was a class that only the true peerless geniuses of the Dragon Kingdom could join.
It was rumored that only those who had awakened two or more innate talents during the Awakening Ceremony could join the Hunter Special Combat Class.
For people like Chen Lei and Liu Nannan who had only awakened one talent, they still had to pass the martial arts assessment to enter the Nine Great Hunter Universities.
As for the people from the Hunter Special Combat Class, they could directly join the Nine Great Hunter Universities unconditionally!
Chapter 24
Zhejiang Hunter University, Top Resources!
The scene returned to the stadium in Green Spirit City.
In the audience, Lu Benwei and his family were so excited that they could not control themselves.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu were already hoarse from shouting.
"Ziling, do you think Benwei will choose Yanjing University?"
After becoming the top student of Hai Province, Lu Benwei could choose the Nine Great Hunter Universities with his eyes closed.
Others still had to worry about their score and whether they could enroll in their favorite school.
On the other hand, Lu Benwei had to figure out which of the Nine Great Hunter Universities offered the best conditions.
Life sometimes has to face such difficult choices.
"Mom, knowing Benwei, he probably won't be in the same school as me."
"This brat, what's wrong with being in the same school as you? You siblings can also take care of each other!" Mrs. Lu was a little indignant. "When I go back, I want to have a word with him."
Lu Ziling smiled apologetically and looked at Lu Bingwei in the middle.
Lu Benwei stood there, all the stadium's spotlights on him, shining brightly.
For the first time, Lu Ziling felt that Lu Benwei had completely changed.
The brat who had once followed her and asked for candy was gradually catching up to her.
At this moment, Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Alright, let's cut the crap. Go back and prepare wine and food to celebrate this kid!"
"Coincidentally, Benwei just sent me a message asking us not to wait for him. If you want to drink, just say it!" Mrs. Lu glanced at him and stood up to leave.
Lu Benwei put away his phone after receiving Mr. Lu's message that he was already on his way home.
Then, he suddenly said, "Teachers, can you restrain your gazes? Especially that thick-browed teacher. You're practically drooling."
The old man with the bushy eyebrows smiled awkwardly.
"Ahem… I'm sorry for losing my composure."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Yi. I'm the director of the admissions office of Zhejiang University…
"Well, come this way first. There's something I want to talk to you about alone," Liu Yi said as he pulled Lu Benwei deeper into the forest.
"Are you trying to snatch her in person?" an irritable middle-aged man shouted, "Everyone said that we'd compete fairly together, but you? What do you mean by pulling him aside?"
Liu Yi let go. "Is it unfair for me to pull people aside?"
"Are you looking for trouble?"
"In terms of fighting, our Jinling Hunter University has never been afraid!" The irritable middle-aged man was unstoppable.
"Alright, looks like I have to represent Zhejiang Hunter University to destroy the arrogance of your Jinling!" Liu Yi was not to be outdone.
Lu Benwei winced.
The Nine Great Hunter Universities were really filled with martial virtues!
"Okay, okay, stop arguing!"
Finally, someone stepped forward to be the peacemaker. He pulled them apart and stepped between them to reach Lu Benwei.
"I'm the person in charge of the Dragon Country University of Science and Technology. I'll give you a four-year tuition exemption and a one-year national scholarship!"
"If you perform well in your freshman year, you can obtain the qualification of a straight shot."
Everyone was stunned. So, you had an ulterior motive!
"A big one. It's only a year's national award. What's it for?"
"Student Lu, come to our Black Province Hunter University and we'll give you a four-year national award!" a rough-looking man said, "And we'll give you Grade A resources!"
"Student Lu, don't listen to them. Their school specializes in violent professions like the Warrior Department. They look down on support classes behind their backs!"
"Dragon City University has a good atmosphere. We don't have to worry about anyone making things difficult for us, magicians!"
"So, are you interested?"
If what Dragon City University said was true, Lu Benwei was a little tempted.
After all, the magician class would not change people's impression of him in a short period of time.
If he went to a martial arts university like Jinling Hunter University, it was inevitable that someone would ask for trouble and mock him.
With the principle that it was better to avoid trouble, Lu Benwei really felt that it was better to go to Dragon City University.
"I'll think about it!"
The head of Dragon City University brightened. "Better to act than being tempted. We'll sign the agreement now!"
This action made the other eight hunter universities panic.
"Student Lu, don't listen to his nonsense!"
"Our Chang'an Hunter University will give you a scholarship of 100,000 yuan per year!"
"150,000 for our Black Province Hunter University!"
Lu Benwei winced. Why did he feel like an auction item now?
"Enough!" in the corner of the room, a young man suddenly shouted at the others to stop.
"Pay? How cliché?"
"Yanjing University will send an S-rank resource and a Level 56 support professor to be your mentor!"
These words instantly made everyone gasp.
The Nine Great Hunter Universities were undoubtedly the top universities in the Dragon Country.
However, in terms of seniority, Yanjing University and Huaqing University were both number one. No one in the country had any objections!
Yanjing University had allocated S-rank resources and dispatched a Level 56 support professor. The other university leaders were all overshadowed.
S-rank resources, a level 56 support professor, and a school with Lu Ziling.
Lu Benwei thought it was not bad.
Everyone saw that Lu Benwei was a little hesitant and shook their heads secretly, feeling that it was hopeless.
Beside him, Liu Yi gritted his teeth.
"Pa!"
"Lu Benwei, we'll get a big shot supporter to be your mentor. Your resources will be upgraded to SS-level, and we'll give you top-secret access to the library!"
Liu Yi slammed the table and stood up, his voice like thunder. In honor of Zhejiang Hunter University, Liu Yi went all out.
"Top… Top-secret access?"
"You're not joking, are you?"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. They felt that Zhejiang Hunter University was really trying too hard.
In order to recruit Lu Benwei, he could even use the library's top-secret access.
"What's the top-secret access to the library?"
Lu Benwei looked at the expressions of the people in charge of the various universities and guessed half of it.
Liu Yi explained, "The library is the treasure trove of every hunter university. You know that, right?"
Lu Benwei nodded and Liu Yi continued, "There are thousands of skill scrolls in the library. They are divided into different levels according to the quality of their skills. The top-secret level is at the top. Even I, the director, am not qualified to enter.
"Apart from extraordinary skill scrolls, top-secret access can also be used to view some secrets!"
"Enough!" the young man from Yanjing University suddenly roared.
The people from the other universities also looked solemn. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝘳ℯ𝘢𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝑚
"Since Zhejiang Hunter University is so generous, we won't compete with you anymore. But some secrets are Pandora's boxes, Lu Benwei. Once you open them, you can't go back."
However, Lu Benwei's mind was not on it at all.
An extraordinary skill scroll?! What benefit could be more tempting than this?
As long as he activated [One-Click Skill Support], all the precious skills since the establishment of Zhejiang Hunter University would be his, right?
Chapter 25
Door-to-door Service
In the end, Lu Benwei chose Zhejiang Hunter University.
After Lu Benwei left, the person in charge of the Nine Great Hunter Universities remained in the conference room.
"Teacher Liu, are you willing to give Lu Benwei absolute authority?"
"That's right. He's just the top scholar of Hai Province. Yanjing University's S-rank resources are already fixed!"
"The SS-level resources are reserved for the Hunter Special Combat Team. A magician wouldn't go that far, right?"
The way they looked at Lu Benwei just now was like looking at a naked beauty.
However, at this moment, they had all changed their expressions.
Liu Yi kept rubbing his pants. "You don't have to worry about our school!"
With that, he left the Green Spirit City Stadium with a dark expression.
…
The moment Lu Benwei entered the house, he could smell the rich aroma of meat.
"Mom, what did you make for me?"
Mrs. Lu and Lu Ziling were busy in the kitchen and did not hear what Lu Benwei said at all. "Benwei, you're back? Go wash your hands and sit down to eat!"
With that, she grabbed a handful of vegetables and threw them into the pot.
"Your mother bought two chickens. One for coconut chicken and one for soup wonton and rice noodles.
"Never mind that for now. Come and keep me company and a few drinks!"
Mrs. Lu clinked two wine glasses in his hand.
His son had won the top score in Hai Province, making his old face glow.
When he returned, he received a lot of envy from his neighbors.
For this reason, he specially opened a special bottle of wine.
Mrs. Lu carried a pot of casserole. "Look at how biased you are. Lu Ziling ranked third in the province last year, but she still hasn't opened a bottle of wine."
"Mom, don't say that. Dad gave me a lot of money the night before school started! That money is enough for me to spend for four years!" Lu Ziling also placed a few side dishes in front of Mrs. Lu.
Mr. Lu's expression changed slightly. "Ahem, these are the dishes, right? I'll add some cucumbers."
Mrs. Lu could smell something amiss. "That's a lot of money. Hubby, did you hide some money?"
"I didn't! I didn't!" Mrs. Lu pleaded as his ears were pulled out of shape.
"How wonderful!" Lu Benwei murmured at the lively scene.
Unfortunately, the scene was about to end. In a few days, he would leave Hai Province and go to Zhejiang Province to study.
A thousand miles separated them. They might only come back two or three times a year.
After that, it was unknown where they would be assigned to fight the monsters.
"By the way, Ziling, you're so amazing that you got third in the province last year?" Lu Benwei said suddenly.
"That's right!"
"Hai Province last year could be said to be the most monstrous generation in the past decade," Lu Ziling explained, "But what's the use of having a high ranking in the martial arts assessment? Last year's first and second place in the Hai Province was already under my feet."
"I see!" Lu Benwei said.
Lu Ziling changed the topic and said, "So even if you're the top scorer of the Hai Province, don't be arrogant. You'll be stepped on by others all the time!"
Lu Benwei nodded vigorously.
"By the way, which school did you choose?" Lu Ziling asked again.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu, who were "arguing", also listened and pricked up their ears.
"They gave me SS-level resources at Zhejiang Hunter University, so I chose to go to their school."
Mrs. Lu looked disappointed.
Now that he had made his choice, she could not argue.
However, Lu Ziling's focus was completely different. "SS-level resources? Why does Zhejiang Hunter University value you so much?"
"Why do you say that?" Lu Benwei wondered.
Lu Ziling explained, "Even though I have SSS-rank resources from Yanjing Hunter University, I was only S-rank when I first went there. Moreover, all the top martial arts students last year also received S-rank resources. It's because SS-level resources are often reserved for the Hunter Special Combat Class."
"Hunter Special Combat Class? What's that?" This was the first time Lu Benwei had heard of such a class in the Dragon Country.
Lu Ziling explained, "The Hunter Special Combat Class is a class opened by the Provincial Hunter Association. Anyone who awakens two transcendent-grade talents will be admitted into the Hunter Special Combat Class and directly obtain the qualifications to choose from the Nine Great Hunter Universities."
"To put it bluntly, it's a guaranteed admission!" Lu Benwei smacked his lips.
Lu Ziling sighed. "This isn't just a recommendation. There's also…"
"Knock, knock, knock—"
As she continued, there was a knock on the front door.
"I'll go!"
Lu Benwei opened the door quickly and was suddenly shocked. "Mr. Liu, it's you!"
When Liu Yi saw that it was Lu Benwei who opened the door, he was so excited that tears streamed down his face. "I was right. I almost couldn't find you."
The family leaned in curiously.
Lu Benwei pulled Liu Yi and introduced him. "Dad, Mom, this is Mr. Liu from Zhejiang Hunter University. He was the one who said that the Zhejiang Hunter University is going to give me SS-level resources."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he immediately perked up. "Mr. Liu, why did you come to our house…?"
Only then did Liu Yi explain, "I want to talk to Student Lu alone."
With that, he pulled Lu Benwei into the back room and took out a ring.
"This is a 30m x 30m x 30m storage ring. Take it as my greeting gift to you."
Lu Benwei's jaw dropped. His storage ring was only a 1m3 storage space and had cost him a lot of money.
"Do you need me to do anything?" Lu Benwei swallowed. He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"Why would I? Do I look like a liar?" Liu Yi waved his hand. "But this storage ring is mine. After you sign the contract, this transfer contract will officially be yours."
With that, Liu Yi took out a piece of document.
Lu Benwei was stunned. 'You came to my house in a hurry just to give me a storage ring?'
As if! However, it would be a waste not to accept it. Lu Benwei signed his name.
When Liu Yi saw this, he first heaved a long sigh of relief before smiling knowingly. "Congratulations, you're already a student of Zhejiang Hunter University!" 𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment. He laughed until tears came to his eyes.
"So, you're afraid I'll run away? That's why you came to set me up!"
"I'm a man of my word. Besides, I don't lack this storage ring of yours."
The first half of his sentence might not be true, but Lu Benwei really did not lack a 30m storage ring.
With the system, he could find all kinds of treasures.
Liu Yi did not mind at all. "Since you've already signed it, I can return to school without worry."
Before he left, he did not forget to say, "By the way, you can't run away after signing the agreement!"
He looked like he was afraid that Lu Benwei would run away.
Liu Yi chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Lu for a while before preparing to leave. However, just as he stepped out of Lu Benwei's house, he saw Lu Ziling blocking his path.
Chapter 26
Set Off for Zhejiang Hunter University!
The night breeze ruffled Lu Ziling's hair, and the dim lights shone on her face. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
At this moment, her face was as cold as frost, and the air around her seemed to have stopped flowing.
"Liu Yi, dean of the support vocational college of Zhejiang Hunter University," Lu Ziling said coldly.
Liu Yi smiled faintly. "I didn't expect the famous witch to know my name. It's really unexpected."
She was not surprised that Liu Yi knew how to address Lu Ziling.
"Cut the crap!"
Lu Ziling's tone became even colder.
"With your authority, you don't seem to be able to give away SS-level resources, right?"
"Why did you ask Benwei to join Zhejiang Hunter University?!"
Liu Yi's thoughts were exposed by Lu Ziling. "What other intentions can there be? It's purely to recruit high-quality students!"
"Boom!"
Lu Ziling's body suddenly burst into flames.
The flames shone like gods in the sky.
"How dare you be so sure that the school will give SS-level resources to a magician?"
"In order to recruit Benwei, you sure dare to say and do anything!"
Liu Yi did not panic at all and said calmly, "Witch, calm down. This is indeed my wishful thinking."
"It's supposed to be confidential from my school, but there's no harm in telling you."
Lu Ziling calmed down a little.
Liu Yi continued, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that our Zhejiang Hunter University has stopped accepting new students."
"In order to deal with this situation, the school has decided to abolish the support vocational college…"
After saying that, Liu Yi laughed at himself.
Lu Ziling finally understood the reason.
To put it bluntly, he was just using Lu Benwei as a stake.
As the dean of the support vocational college, Liu Yi naturally did not want to see the college that he had worked for half his life to be abolished.
Lu Ziling suddenly sneered. "No matter what your motive is, if you dare to bully Benwei… I can't destroy Zhejiang Hunter University but I can still turn a small support vocational college upside down!"
With that, she brushed past Liu Yi and went upstairs.
The moment Lu Ziling disappeared, Liu Yi muttered, "Her combat strength at level 35 has already surpassed that of an ordinary person at level 45. As expected of someone favored by the gods!"
"Too bad…"
…
After Lu Benwei accepted the invitation from Zhejiang Hunter University, he soon prepared to bid goodbye to his parents and leave Green Spirit City.
'Before this.'
Green Spirit City received Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei had become the top scorer of the martial arts assessment in Hai Province and was also a supporter. Naturally, this made Green Spirit City famous.
Many support class hunters in Brother City threatened to enter the Green Spirit City and contributed a lot of GDP to the city.
In return, the mayor of Green Spirit City rewarded Lu Benwei with a lot of money on behalf of the city government. Of course, he also prepared a set of equipment.
However, Lu Benwei refused.
The municipal government of Green Spirit City had no choice but to transfer him a sum of money.
After coming to Jiujiang City, where the Zhejiang Hunter University was located, this was the first time Lu Benwei had seen how colorful this world was.
As the capital of Jiangzhe Province, Jiujiang City was filled with experts.
Any ordinary passerby on the roadside was a powerful hunter above level 30.
More importantly, there were really many beautiful women on the streets of Jiujiang City, and each of them was wearing less than the other.
"Big cities are better! In Green Spirit City, my peers dress as conservatively as my third aunt."
Lu Benwei got off the subway and sighed.
"Speaking of which, the guide from Zhejiang Hunter University asked me to wait for him at Purple Gold Harbor Station B. Why isn't he here yet?"
As the top martial arts student of the Hai Province, Lu Benwei was naturally treated differently from the other students.
There were special guides for Lu Benwei to enter the university.
Lu Benwei waited for about half an hour. Finally, he could wait no longer. So, he pulled out his phone.
"Senior, I'm here. Where are you?" Lu Benwei found the dialog box with the ID "Lonely as Snow".
In fact, Lu Benwei did not know this person's gender. It was just a judgment based purely on the ID "Lonely as Snow".
Who else would use such an old-fashioned name, except for those artistic youths who went into fits late at night?
After a short wait, Lonely as Snow replied, "What are you wearing?"
"White short-sleeved, water-washed blue jeans."
Lu Benwei finished his reply and looked down at what he was wearing.
It was very simple, but it did not match the clothes of the fashionable men and women around him.
To put it nicely, it was simple. To put it bluntly, it was a country bumpkin.
At this moment, a woman approached Lu Benwei. She was naturally beautiful and had fair skin. She was not inferior to Lu Ziling. However, her face was as cold as the snow that had not melted for many years. 𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎
At the same time, she was dressed as simply as Lu Benwei. It was just a combat uniform that was incompatible with her surroundings.
"That's nice. Someone's as rustic as me."
As soon as Lu Benwei finished speaking, he realized that the cold-faced beauty was walking toward him.
"Oh no, did she hear me?" Lu Benwei's heart was in his throat.
His Eye of Insight read the cold beauty's message.
Level 42, second stage Class Advancement, ice magician!
Even though Lu Benwei was only confident that he could challenge those of a higher level, it would undoubtedly be a huge joke for him to cross more than 20 levels.
"Lu Benwei!" The cold beauty spoke very softly.
"Lo… Lonely as Snow… Senior?"
Lu Benwei was surprised.
This cold beauty was the guide. As expected of Zhejiang Hunter University, they were generous!
It casually sent out a powerful hunter who was at level 42 and had completed her second Class Advancement.
Lu Benwei vaguely remembered that the principal of Green Spirit City High School was only level 47.
"Lian Bingqing, a senior at the magician vocational academy, is your guide."
The cold beauty's gaze was cold, and her face was like the cold of December. Even her words were few.
She did not know if it was because she was like this herself or because she had heard Lu Benwei mutter "old-fashioned".
"Senior, where are we going now?" Lu Benwei avoided Lien Bingqing's gaze.
"Where's your luggage?" Lian Bingqing asked.
"In the storage ring!"
"Good. I've suddenly received an assignment. You can wander around. I'll contact you when I'm done."
With that, Lian Bingqing left without looking back.
Lu Benwei stood there, stunned. He thought about it and decided to go shopping first.
However, what he did not expect was that he would meet an acquaintance in a shopping mall!
"Yang Xiaofei!"
The girl named Yang Xiaofei looked back. Her facial features were naturally beautiful and charming.
In school, it would be the kind of image that many boys would want to be with.
The moment Yang Xiaofei saw Lu Benwei, she was first stunned, then her eyes curved into crescents.
"Lu Benwei!"
Chapter 27
Change of Attitude
Childhood sweethearts.
Lu Benwei and Yang Xiaofei had such a relationship.
In addition to growing up together, there was an unusual relationship between the two of them.
Yang Xiaofei had once had a crush on Lu Benwei. After all, Lu Benwei had been outstanding since he was young.
From first grade to junior high, Lu Benwei had always been first in his grade. In addition, Lu Benwei was handsome and naturally captured Yang Xiaofei's heart.
Unfortunately, she did not get to confess. When Yang Xiaofei was in the ninth grade, her entire family moved to a big city.
In those days, there was no chat application. Lu Benwei was like a broken kite strong, no longer in contact with her.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaofei met her first love again today. What kind of fate was this?
This was the only thought in Yang Xiaofei's mind at this moment. After so many years, Lu Benwei was still a thorn in her side.
"Brother Lu, why are you here?"
Yang Xiaofei's eyes were bright as if the stars in the sky were hidden inside.
Although she was older than Lu Benwei, she had always considered herself his younger sister.
"I came here to go to school. I was a little hungry after getting off the subway, so I thought I'd come here to shop first," Lu Benwei said. In fact, he had been shopping for a long time and had unknowingly arrived at the business center of the four-stop subway line from Zhejiang University.
Yang Xiaofei's eyes lit up even more when she heard this. Her business center was halfway between two hunter universities.
One was the East Sea Hunter University she attended. It was a first-class B-grade hunter university.
The other was a third-class hunter's college.
All in all, either school was pretty close to her. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎
"So which hunter university did you attend?"
Lu Benwei was about to answer when two men barged in. One was Yang Xiaofei's best friend, Xu Ningning. The other was Yang Xiaofei's pursuer, Mu Hai.
Xu Ningning saw Yang Xiaofei talking to an unfamiliar man and said, "Feifei, who is this?"
Yang Xiaofei smiled. "Ningning, this is Lu Benwei I always mention to you."
"He's Lu Benwei? He's quite handsome!" Xu Ningning said happily.
"Hello, my name is Xu Ningning. I'm a sophomore at East Sea Hunter University's Knight Academy." Xu Ningning shook hands with Lu Benwei as she introduced herself.
Lu Benwei asked, "Second year? Xiaofei, did you skip a grade?"
Yang Xiaofei responded softly.
After she moved with her parents, she skipped a grade and attended a private high school.
"It's finally my turn to help Brother Lu. After a year in Jiujiang, I've already become the living map here.
"Brother Lu, you can look for me on the weekends in the future. I'll take you to the surrounding attractions…" Yang Xiaofei blushed when she said this.
Mu Hai sensed danger and looked coldly at Lu Benwei.
"Junior, I haven't introduced myself!" he suddenly interrupted.
"Hello, my name is My Hair. I'm Feifei's classmate." Mu Hai extended his right hand in a "friendly" manner.
Lu Benwei shook his hand. Mu Hai suddenly exerted his strength, wanting to show Lu Benwei who was the boss.
He was a magician who had awakened the Blood Frenzy and had successfully changed his class to a battle magician. Coupled with his terrifying mental strength as a magician, Mu Hai's control over his grip was easily at level 15.
'You just entered the school this year. No matter what, your level will not exceed 15. The strength of level 15 is more than enough to deal with you! I'm telling you, Xiaofei is mine. No one can take her from me! As for why I don't use all my strength, I'm afraid it will be too powerful for you!'
As for Lu Benwei, he had already reached level 16 so to him, he could not feel anything strange about the power of a level 15.
Lu Benwei pulled his hand out and said, "Hello, my name is Lu Benwei. I'm Feifei's childhood friend."
Mu Hai was surprised. Was this kid a warrior? His strength was so terrifying.
Xu Ningning suddenly interrupted, "By the way, Feifei, you were in a small city in Green Spirit City, right?"
"That's right. Brother Lu is also from Green Spirit City!"
Mu Hai perked up when he heard that.
Green Spirit City was an unknown small city. Its strength was probably not good.
Mu Hai thought in his heart and looked at Lu Bingwei with disdain.
After receiving confirmation, Xu Ningning's gaze turned cold.
"Junior, did you enroll in East Sea Hunter University this year?"
"To be able to come to our East Sea Hunter University, your strength must be extraordinary."
Mu Hai's words implied something.
If you were not from East Sea Hunter University, you could only be from the third-class hunter university in the south.
Third-class hunter university, trash among trash! It was better to work in the factory than in a third-class hunter university!
At this moment, Senior Lian Bingqing sent a message. "Where are you?"
Lu Benwei sent the location.
Lian Bingqing replied with an "ok" gesture.
"I'm sorry, there was a message just now. I didn't catch what you just said."
Lu Benwei really had not heard of him.
The corner of My Hai's mouth twitched, thinking that this kid was too pretentious.
Yang Xiaofei stepped forward to ease the awkwardness.
"Brother Lu, what's your class? You were so outstanding when you were young, so your awakened profession must be extraordinary."
As it was Yang Xiaofei who asked, Lu Benwei answered truthfully, "Oh, I'm a magician…"
"Magi… Magician?!"
Yang Xiaofei was stunned. Which Earthling did not know what a magician meant to a hunter?
'It's a useless class.'
The combat strength was low, and the growth speed was slow!
Yang Xiaofei could not believe that her idol would change his class to the most useless magician!
At the side, the disdain in Mu Hai's eyes deepened.
"Magician…"
"What a useless junior. I thought you were from East Sea Hunter University! After all this time, you're from that third-rate hunter university. You're probably at the bottom too!"
Support classes often did not get good results in the martial arts assessment and could only be admitted to third-class hunter universities. Therefore, third-class hunter university was also jokingly called a support vocational university!
When Xu Ningning learned that Lu Benwei was a magician, her eyes immediately filled with coldness.
Yang Xiaofei had always said how wonderful her idol was. She did not expect him to be a magician. She almost laughed her head off!
"Feifei, what's wrong with you? How could you like such a person?" Xu Ningning said bluntly.
Even an ordinary person could step on a magician.
Yang Xiaofei smiled awkwardly. "Brother Lu, are you really a magician?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Lu Benwei sounded clearly displeased.
"What are you putting on airs for?" Mu Hai immediately took a step forward and stood in front of Yang Xiaofei.
Xu Ningning also said at the same time, "That's right. He's just a magician, yet people can't talk about him?"
"I say, Feifei, I don't mean to be rude, but you've got poor taste."
"What's your status? What's his position? Is it worth having you fall for so many years?"
"But…"
Yang Xiaofei could not believe that Lu Benwei was a magician. 'But why would he lie to me?'
In order to show off, a person could lie about his hidden class and gain people's respect. He would not lie about being a magician.
Could it be that he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? What era was it now? Why was he still playing the traditional online novel routine? Was it not childish?
It did not matter if Lu Benwei was a true magician. Yang Xiaofei's idol image was destroyed.
"I'm sorry, Lu Benwei. I have something on, so I'll leave first…" Yang Xiaofei said.
Lu Benwei sneered. "Oh," he said softly.
Seeing that Lu Benwei was putting on airs again, Mu Hai was furious and prepared to beat him up.
"Look, what's that?" Xu Ningning pointed at the sky.
They all looked up.
An ice phoenix was flapping its wings and circling above their heads.
Standing on the ice phoenix was a beautiful woman with jade-like skin.
Lian Bingqing!
All the hunters who could fly in the city came from the Nine Great Hunter Universities!
This was because this group of people would be the main pillars of the battle against the monsters!
Chapter 28
I'm Extraordinary!
Of course, the prerequisite for flying in the air was that one had to be able to reach the second stage of level 40.
"Damn, why did a student from Zhejiang Hunter University suddenly come here?"
"It's so beautiful and powerful. The heavens are so biased. Boohoo!"
"It's coming down. It's coming down. I need to ask her for an autograph."
Lian Bingqing's appearance caused quite a stir.
Just the title of one of the Nine Great Hunter Universities was not enough to create such a commotion. The key was that Lian Bingqing was an absolute beauty.
"I'm so envious. If I can join the Nine Great Hunter Universities, I'll wake up laughing in my dreams." Xu Ningning was so envious that her eyes turned into stars.
Yang Xiaofei exclaimed, "That's right. The students of the Nine Great Hunter Universities are at a height that we can never reach in our lives."
"Look, they seem to be coming our way."
Xu Ningning was suddenly shocked.
The sparkling and translucent Ice Crystal Phoenix was slowly flying toward them.
"Maybe they want to come here for a stroll. The Nine Great Hunter Universities still have to eat human food," Mu Hai explained.
He looked at Lian Bingqing on the ice phoenix with envy.
If the person above was him, pushing him to Yang Xiaofei would probably be a matter of minutes.
Of course, at this level, Mu Hai probably looked down on Yang Xiaofei.
"Lu Benwei, how long do I have to wait for you?" on the Ice Crystal Phoenix, Lian Bingqing spoke.
"Huh?!" Yang Xiaofei and the other two were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
They could not have heard wrongly. The cold beauty on the Ice Crystal Phoenix was saying Lu Benwei's name!
Lu Benwei grinned at Lian Bingqing. "We can leave now!"
With that, he jumped onto the back of the Ice Crystal Phoenix. The two of them left, leaving behind a group of envious passersby.
"That boy just now is from Zhejiang Hunter University!"
"What a pity. I just brushed past that little boy and forgot to ask for his contact number."
Yang Xiaofei and the other two looked at each other.
'It's not real, isn't it?'
A magician from Zhejiang Hunter University?
However, the truth could not be faked. Only the Nine Great Hunter Universities had the privilege to fly in the city.
Mu Hao and Xu Ningning's faces were burning with pain as if they had been slapped.
Yang Xiaofei's gaze was also fixed on the back of Lian Bingqing and Lu Benwei. Her expression was complicated.
…
"Hidden barrier, break!"
In the sky above Jiujiang National Park, Lian Bingqing took out a scroll.
What Lu Benwei did not expect was that Zhejiang Hunter University was hidden above the famous wetland park. The entire academy was a huge empty island.
"Senior Lian Bingqing, is this the top student of Hai Province?"
After Lian Bingqing landed, two beauties immediately surrounded her. The two of them were wearing red and blue cheongsams, revealing their slender and fair thighs. These two beauties were also the seniors in charge of welcoming the new students.
Lian Bingqing hummed softly. The two senior sisters in cheongsams looked at each other and smiled. They looked at Lu Bingwei as if he was a monster.
"It's really the magician with explosive combat strength!"
"Junior, you're now a popular person among the senior students at Zhejiang Hunter University!"
The two seniors, one in red and one in blue, said one after another.
Lu Benwei found that odd. He was not surprised that his identity as a magician had been revealed. However, even though it was a little rare for him to become the top martial artist in a province as a magician, it was not to the extent of becoming popular in the entire school.
Monsters like him should be everywhere in the academy.
At this moment, the senior in the red cheongsam saw through Lu Benwei's thoughts.
She sighed. "Junior, to be honest, other than you, there's only one other girl in our Zhejiang Hunter University who's the top scorer."
"Even the Hunter Special Combat Class—"
"Qiqi, don't talk nonsense!"
Senior Qiqi instantly shut her mouth. She turned around and said, "Junior, don't take what I just said to heart."
Lu Benwei frowned. 'Other than me, only one girl was the top scorer. That seems a bit odd.'
The Dragon Country had 34 administrative units and 34 top scorers. How could there only be two top scorers?
Three beautiful seniors helped Lu Benwei walk around the campus.
Along the way, Lu Benwei used the Eye of Insight to observe many students who had entered the school. He had indeed made a major discovery. He encountered some students with monstrous talent but that was in the minority.
Most of the new students were only slightly more talented than Zhao Kong. Even talented people like Chen Lei and Liu Nannan only accounted for an extremely small proportion of them.
"This quality is a little bad!"
After touring the campus, Lu Benwei roughly understood why Liu Yi was so eager to recruit him.
Currently, his strength could be considered the number one freshman!
"Lu Benwei, I've also finished showing you around the school. Next, you need to go to the clock tower teaching area to look for Teacher Liu to complete the admission procedures," Lian Bingqing said.
"Why do I need to look for Mr. Liu?" Lu Benwei asked casually.
"Don't you know? He's your mentor and will be your dean for the next four years," Lian Bingqing said, "The school specially instructed that you, the top student, still need to find your mentor after you enter the school."
"Huh?!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Yi, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was also a supporter.
"Just be content. The honor of being personally tutored by a dean isn't something an ordinary student can have," Lian Bingqing said coldly.
After the confession, Lu Benwei went to the clock tower.
A massive bronze clock tower hung high in the center of the circular Western-style complex. Apart from the clock, the entire building was also incomparably magnificent.
This was the theoretical teaching area of Zhejiang Hunter University and also the administrative center.
"Since it's a support vocational academy, the teaching building should be in the far corner."
Lu Benwei was speechless. Such a large academy did not even have a logo. He had to look for them one by one.
Lu Benwei walked down the dim corridor.
"Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, a deep and furious voice echoed in the corridor.
Liu Yi's voice sounded.
"Principal, I've made myself clear. That boy is really different from the average supporter."
Lu Benwei was stunned. It turned out that he had accidentally walked to the floor of the principal's office. Coincidentally, he bumped into the principal reprimanding Liu Yi.
However, it seemed that the content of this lecture was related to him.
"I know. Lu Benwei is indeed gifted."
"But he's not worth SS-level resources. Not even S-level."
The principal's voice continued.
Liu Yi continued, "Principal, that's not enough. Student Lu is the provincial champion!"
"So what if he's the top scorer in the province?" The principal stroked his beard and glared. "Other than last year's fire maiden, everyone in the Dragon Country knows how poor the quality of the province has been for the past ten years."
"It's one thing to have SS-level resources, but what about top-secret library access? If we don't invite Lu Benwei with these perks, our batch will be completely over!" Liu Yi continued to fight for Lu Benwei.
"So what?" 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮
The principal's voice was much calmer as he took out a stack of documents.
"He's a supporting magician. If we give the resources to Lu Benwei just like that, I'm afraid the other freshmen and the prodigies of the hunter class will resist."
"I've already signed the principal's decree. Lu Benwei has Grade A resources and SS-level resources will be given to this student."
Liu Yi was dumbfounded. "But what about Lu Benwei? He's such a good seedling."
The principal suddenly sneered. "If he wants S- or SS-level resources, then let him fight for them himself."
Seeing that there was no point in saying more, Liu Yi helplessly lowered his head and left the principal's office.
It was at that moment that he saw Lu Benwei. Liu Yi was shocked and pulled him aside.
"Why are you here?"
"I thought you told me to find you," Lu Benwei said.
Liu Yi's lips twitched and he asked, "Did you hear the conversation just now?"
When he said this, his voice became softer, and his eyes became more desolate.
"I hear you." Lu Benwei's voice was flat, his eyes expressionless.
"You won't regret enrolling, will you?" Liu Yi apologized to Lu Benwei. "But I'll do my best to make it up to you."
"Damn, what's wrong with that? No one can take away what should have been mine!"
Chapter 29
If I Team Up With Such A Beautiful Girl, Wouldn't I Be Killing Randomly?
Lu Benwei said the words flatly.
The gloominess on Liu Yi's face suddenly dissipated.
'This kid… You're right about it!'
Liu Yi thought in his heart and said to Lu Benwei, "Follow me!"
"Why did you call me here?" Lu Benwei could not help but be curious.
"Nothing. Just giving you a certificate."
Liu Yi took out an iron token from his storage ring.
"This is?"
"This is your student token. Your information, including the usage of hunter coins, is on it," Liu Yi explained.
"The dominance of hunter's coin?" Lu Benwei had never heard of the concept of "hunter's coin."
Liu Yi continued, "To put it bluntly, it's our school's own set of monetary policies."
"In our school, we need hunter coins for daily life and teaching. If you happen to have deep pockets, you can even buy extraordinary skill scrolls."
Lu Benwei asked again, "In that case, you still have to fight for the hunter coins yourself, right?"
Liu Yi patted Lu Benwei's back. "You're worth teaching!"
"I can earn credits, volunteer, and exchange them for hunter coins when I go on missions!"
Lu Benwei nodded, putting away the student token.
Then, Liu Yi asked Lu Benwei to go to the new student registration office to complete the admission procedures.
Previously, Lian Bingqing had led Lu Benwei around the campus, and Lu Benwei had easily arrived at the freshmen registration office.
Today was the last day for new students to register. There were only a few people at the new student registration office.
"Hello, I'm here to complete the admission procedures!"
Lu Benwei found an empty window and handed the student token in.
The man in charge of this window was a middle-aged uncle with his name and position written on his nametag. Wang Dongqiang, the first section chief of the admissions office.
Wang Dongqiang yawned and slowly placed Lu Benwei's student token on the reading table.
"Swish!"
"Reading!"
Wang Dongqiang yawned again when he heard the sound of machinery.
"Name: Lu Benwei!"
"Place of origin: Hai Province, Green Spirit City!"
"Class: Supporter."
…
Wang Dongqiang looked at the machine reading Lu Benwei's information with undisguised disdain.
He stretched lazily and said to his colleague at the next window, "If I'm not wrong, our Zhejiang Hunter University's ranking is at the bottom again this year!"
The colleague next door also became idle. "That's right. In the past few days, I've only met two or three new students with passable talent. In normal times, such people are the most ordinary students."
Lu Benwei heard everything they said. He glanced at the nametag of the man next door. Qi Lian.
It seemed that the talent shortage at Zhejiang Hunter University had reached a very serious level!
At this moment, the machine in front of Wang Dongqiang suddenly flashed red and beeps non-stop.
"Damn!" Wang Dongqiang's lips twitched. "Why did it crash?"
Lu Benwei said, "Mister, can you hurry up? I'm in a hurry."
"You have to wait even if you don't want to!" Wang Dongqiang rolled his eyes at him.
Students nowadays really did not know how to respect their elders.
Qi Lian gave up his seat next door. "Come to me!"
Wang Dongqiang nodded and took Lu Benwei's student token to the next seat.
The cold mechanical voice sounded again.
"Name: Lu Benwei!"
"Place of origin: Hai Province, Green Spirit City!" 𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝙤𝒎
…
"He's from Hai Province's Green Spirit City. Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Qi Lian suddenly exclaimed, "Last year, there was a fiery woman from Green Spirit City. Did you know?"
"The one rumored to be favored by the gods, Flame Lady?"
Wang Dongqiang and Qi Lian said to themselves.
Lu Benwei was also slightly lost in thought. This was the second time he heard of the woman today.
That was bad enough, but Lu Benwei thought it sounded familiar.
The mechanical voice continued.
"School Number: 1001!"
In the end, the machine in front of Qi Lian read this sentence coldly.
Wang Dongqiang and Qi Lian were stunned at the same time and stopped talking.
"1001?!"
Lu Benwei was stunned. Did this number mean anything?
It was obvious what this number meant. The beginning represented the freshmen, but the last three numbers represented that Lu Benwei was the first freshman!
Other than those specially recruited hunter classes, he was the first!
Qi Lian slapped his forehead. "Why does this new student look so familiar?"
"He's the genius magician who went crazy among the older students!"
Their lazy eyes immediately lit up as they sized him up like they were sizing up a monster!
Although Lu Benwei was a magician, he really became the provincial champion. His strength was naturally self-evident.
Moreover, the rankings of the new students were there. Even if Zhejiang Hunter University had degenerated from a phoenix to a chicken, Lu Benwei was still a chicken head!
"Student, I'm sorry!" Wang Dongqiang's lips twitched. He thought about how he had dozed off and chatted with the number one freshman earlier.
Although he was only a magician, he was still the number one freshman at Zhejiang Hunter University!
If the school leaders reported them for slacking off, the two of them would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Student, don't misunderstand!"
Wang Dongqiang cried out. Not only did he give Lu Benwei his student token, but he also gave him a name tag.
001! It represented the number one freshman!
Lu Benwei took it and left without looking back. There was no need to waste his breath on such a person.
This made Wang Dongqiang very speechless.
"What's so great about a magician who was lucky enough to get the provincial champion?"
…
Lu Benwei opened the door of the new student registration office and brushed past a girl. The girl had a unique fragrance that reminded Lu Benwei of Lu Ziling. So, he looked back.
The girl also noticed Lu Benwei and turned back to him. Her eyebrows were arched like mountains, beautiful and refined as if she had walked out of a painting. Her eyes were like autumn waters, and she looked like a fairy. She was beautiful and intelligent.
The first time you saw her, it was enough to leave a deep impression.
When she was quiet, she was like a delicate flower shining in the water. When she moved, she was like a weak willow supporting the wind, like a light cloud covering the moon, or a fluttering wind returning the snow!
Only such a sentence could describe the girl's temperament!
Lu Benwei had unknowingly activated [Eye of Insight].
[Name: Chu Yan]
[Class: Elementalist (Hidden Class)]
[Level: 17]
[Talent: Fire Elemental Mastery, Ice Elemental Mastery, Water Elemental Mastery]
[Triple elemental damage increased by 50 percent!]
Lu Benwei was shocked!
Not only was Chu Yan's level higher than him, but she was also a powerful magician!
If she could form a team with him in the future, would they not kill casually?
"That's right," was all Lu Benwei could think.
Chu Yan saw Lu Benwei staring at her like a pervert. Her pretty brows drew together slightly.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Chapter 30
Seriously? I'm Class One with this Pervert?
Along with Chu Yan was a petite loli. Her looks were also not bad. Under normal circumstances, it would also be a disaster.
However, beside her was the national beauty, Chu Yan. Everything seemed to pale in comparison.
The petite loli seemed to be Chu Yan's best friend.
The words had come from the petite loli.
"He must have taken a fancy to your looks and wants to sleep with you! You sick b*stard!"
The petite girl shot a resentful glance at Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei was stunned.
'Good lord! I simply wanted to team up with this magician, and you're saying I want to sleep with her?'
"You're imagining things, aren't you?" Lu Benwei looked at Little Lolita with disdain.
The petite girl had one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Lu Benwei. "How do you explain keeping your eyes on Yanyan?"
Lu Benwei winced. That did seem a little wrong.
'But that's no reason to call me a pervert, is it?'
Chu Yan did not say anything, so why did she interrupt?
'Besides, even if I really had ill intentions and admired Chu Yan's beauty, it wasn't illegal, right?'
Women could be ordinary and confident sometimes.
"Would you believe me if I said that I want to team up with Miss Chu Yan in the future?"
Lu Benwei regretted his words immediately. Who would believe that? It was like a blank sheet of paper with a black pen, making it worse.
Lu Benwei simply slipped away.
"Hmph! Trying to run?"
The petite loli was about to catch up to Lu Benwei when Chu Yan stopped her.
"That's enough, Qiqi. Stop chasing him. It's more important to register for school first."
Chu Yan's voice was like a spring breeze, instantly calming the petite loli's anger.
"Lucky boy! If I see him again, I, Zhao Xiaoqi, will not let him off!" The delicate little girl was still indignant.
The two women prepared to step into the freshmen registration area. Suddenly, the petite loli stopped.
"Yanyan, how did this kid know your name?"
"Well…"
Chu Yan was slightly stunned. The two of them had clearly not introduced themselves just now.
"In any case, this guy is obviously not a good person." Zhao Xiaoqi was still biased against Lu Benwei.
"Forget it, Qiqi. Maybe he didn't mean any harm just now."
"Yanyan, you'll suffer in the future. You can't be soft-hearted!"
…
After Lu Benwei left the registration office, he wanted to look for Liu Yi again.
Suddenly, Lian Bingqing called him.
"Where are you?" Lian Bingqing's voice was still very cold.
"The freshmen registration office!" Lu Benwei answered truthfully.
"The thing is, there's only one thing I need to talk to you about," Lian Bingqing said.
"This year, the school has undergone reform. All new students will no longer be taught in schools divided by class. Instead, they will be taught in classrooms."
"Lessons?" Lu Benwei was confused.
"The school's intention is to reorganize the students from different classes," Lian Bingqing continued to explain, "After all, when hunting monsters, we do have to cooperate with different classes. Why don't we start cooperating with them at the academy stage? Of course, the mentor system still exists, and you don't have to worry. Mr. Liu will still be your mentor."
"I see!" Lu Benwei realized.
"Then I should be in Class One, right? My classmate is also an outstanding freshman in our school, right?"
Lu Benwei gave his guess. After all, it was impossible for a ferocious beast to dance with a flock of sheep!
Since Zhejiang Hunter University wanted to reform and break through the situation of lack of succession, the key was to gather the outstanding talents of the various classes together and strive for excellence.
Lu Benwei also guessed that in addition to giving each person different resources, each class also gave different resources.
After hanging up with Lian Bingqing, Lu Benwei headed to the original support faculty. After the reform, the support faculty was used as a classroom for all freshmen. The freshman party would also be held there.
Not long after, Lu Benwei founded his class, Class One. 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶
Zhejiang Hunter University had high hopes for this reform. They firmly believed that this reform would produce generals on the future dazzling battlefield!
However, most of the seats in the classroom had already been taken, leaving only a few empty seats.
A delicate middle-aged man sat at the table beside the podium. He must be Lu Benwei's former teacher.
"Hello, teacher. I'm here to report." Lu Benwei knocked politely on the open door.
Lu Benwei's form teacher first turned around and then carefully compared the names on the list. Suddenly, he looked startled.
"Lu Benwei?!"
"Yes, I am!"
Then the teacher cleared his throat and put on a dignified face. "Go and find a seat first."
Lu Benwei winced.
This form teacher was so young that it was obvious that he had never taught before. It was as if he had been pulled over to be a form teacher right after graduation.
Lu Benwei felt strange. Since the school had entrusted their class with an important task, why did they send a young graduate?
Lu Benwei sat in the first row by the door.
The young form teacher looked around. Next, he stood at the lectern.
"Okay, almost everyone's here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Muchen. I'll be your form teacher for the next four years!"
"Report!"
Before Li Muchen could finish, he was interrupted by a hurried voice. Zhao Xiaoqi held Chu Yan's hand and stood at the door, panting.
There was an instant riot in the classroom.
"Damn, these two girls, one hotter than the other!"
"I think I'm already lucky enough to be assigned to Class One. With these two beauties as my classmates, I'm really blessed!"
"It's not just smoking. It's burning, okay?"
"You're Chu Yan and Zhao Xiaoqi, right?" Li Muchen asked.
Zhao Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue. "Yes, Teacher Li."
Lu Benwei activated [Eye of Insight].
[Name: Li Muchen]
[Class: Battle magician (second stage battle magician Class Advancement)]
[Level: 55]
[Talent: Bloodthirsty Frenzy (in battle, every 5 seconds, strength increases by one percent, maximum accumulation is 100 percent), Concentration (magic damage increases by 50 percent), Spiritual Source (spiritual power increase speed)]
…
[Name: Zhao Xiaoqi]
[Class: Double-ax warrior (warrior Class Advancement)]
[Level: 12]
[Talent: Primordial Brute Force (increases strength and speed)]
Lu Benwei was not surprised that Zhao Xiaoqi was a warrior.
Li Muchen was a level-55 battle magician. He had three talents, and each was more heaven-defying than the last!
No wonder he could be their form teacher at such a young age.
However, at this moment, Zhao Xiaoqi felt Lu Benwei's gaze.
"Seriously? I'm in the same class as this pervert?" Zhao Xiaoqi exclaimed, "Why are you staring at me again, you pervert?"
At this moment, she was looking down at Lu Benwei.
Chapter 31
Fly
"Why are you everywhere?"
Lu Benwei was speechless.
Zhao Xiaoqi exploded on the spot. "I wanted to ask why you're everywhere."
"Qiqi, stop talking. Everyone's watching," Chu Yan whispered.
"No, I just want to know why a pervert can be in Class One. Why?" Zhao Xiaoqi was still unwilling to give up.
At this moment, Li Muchen interrupted. "Alright, if there's a conflict between you two, you can resolve it in private. No fighting in the classroom!"
Since the form teacher had already spoken, she had to give him face. Zhao Xiaoqi looked at Lu Benwei angrily as she returned to her seat.
As the two of them arrived late, they sat in the first row together.
Li Muchen cleared his throat again. "Alright, we've officially gathered everyone from Class One!"
"There's no need to elaborate on the self-introduction. I believe someone already knows!"
With that, he glanced at Lu Benwei.
'This guy could tell that I had used a detection-type support skill. As expected of a level 55 battle magician!'
"I'll only say a few words!
"Not only you're responsible for reviving the glory of Zhejiang Hunter University but you'll also be the mainstay in fending off monsters in the future!
"No matter how dazzling your results are in the martial arts assessment, you'll start from scratch here until you become a true hunter!"
Li Muchen's words were extremely powerful and instantly ignited the courage of many students!
Changing the topic, Li Muchen said, "Next, we'll distribute the credits!"
"Holy shit, holy shit, is it finally coming?"
"I wonder which one of them will be the first in our class!"
…
There was a sudden commotion in the class. Lu Benwei frowned. "It's just giving out points. Why are you all so excited?"
Zhao Xiaoqi was very close to Lu Benwei.
She said disdainfully, "Tsk, country bumpkin! Credits can be exchanged for hunter coins. Zhejiang Hunter University believes in the law of the jungle. Only with enough credits can you obtain resources and become stronger. Moreover, we can also indirectly know the true strength of everyone in our class!"
Before she could finish speaking, Li Muchen walked to Zhao Xiaoqi's side.
"Zhao Xiaoqi, 8,000 points!"
With that, he took a machine and swiped it on Zhao Xiaoqi's student token.
As soon as the cold mechanical voice sounded, the class was in chaos.
"Damn, this cute girl has 8,000 points. That's ten times more than me!"
"I want to ask her for her contact information after class. Forget it. She probably won't take a fancy to me."
"In that case, the girl next to her who's more attractive can't be too bad…"
'Indeed.'
Li Muchen walked to Chu Yan's side and read her credits.
"Chu Yan, 10,000 points!"
The commotion in the class intensified.
"Could this girl be this year's top freshman?"
"Did our Zhejiang Hunter University recruit one or two top scorers this year?"
Zhao Xiaoqi looked at the students behind proudly. "Haha, not only is Yanyan the top scorer, but she has also obtained S-rank resources. You guys should be envious!"
Disappointment filled the classroom.
"Only the male student is left. From the looks of it, there's probably no chance…"
"Lu Benwei, 10,000 points!"
As soon as the cold mechanical voice sounded, the audience was in an uproar.
"Damn, this kid has 10,000 points. It's fake, right?"
"Could it be that he's also a top freshman?"
"Yanyan, this pervert has 10,000 points." Zhao Xiaoqi touched her forehead in disbelief.
Chu Yan smiled and said, "Yanyan, our school has recruited two top scholars this year. Other than me, he's the only one left."
"Is this a pervert?" Zhao Xiaoqi still could not believe it.
"I've already checked. He's the first magician student in the Dragon Country."
Chu Yan's words made Lu Benwei frown. He did not know if she did it on purpose or not. Many gazes in the class were staring at him like he was prey.
10,000 points and he was a magician. It was hard not to arouse others' greed.
However, at this moment, Li Muchen said, "Alright, from now on, you're officially a student of Zhejiang Hunter University.
"I assume you read the school rules the moment you got the freshman handbook? First rule of the school: the strong prey on the weak!"
With that, he disappeared.
With the principle that it was better to avoid trouble, Lu Benwei got up and prepared to leave.
"Halt!"
Behind him, a sharp voice lit up.
A student, built like a bull, stood up and stepped on the table.
"Scratch!"
Relying on brute force, he leaped into the air and instantly arrived in front of Lu Benwei.
"What can I do for you?" Lu Benwei asked calmly.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jingben, student number 1028!" Jingben sat down and introduced himself arrogantly.
The classroom was instantly filled with chatter.
"There are still people who can't help but want to stand out."
"I know this student. He's level 13 and has already changed his class to a duelist."
The duelist class was very special. In this era of spiritual energy and magic, they put down their weapons and chose to cultivate their bodies. Every duelist was tall and strong, and their bodies were as tough as iron.
Zhao Xiaoqi giggled. "This damn pervert will suffer."
"How can a magician compete with a duelist?" 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Chu Yan whispered at the side, "Qiqi, no matter what, he's still the top scholar. His strength must be extraordinary."
"Tsk, in my opinion, he's just lucky!"
On the other hand,
Jingben's bones cracked. "We're all sensible people, so I'll cut to the chase. I'm just interested in your points."
"I have no grudge against you. Why are you pestering me?"
Jingben's attitude was very arrogant. "I don't mean anything else. After knowing that you're a magician, I feel that these 10,000 points aren't safe in your hands. Why don't I keep them for you?"
Lu Benwei saw that Jingben was pestering him and sighed. "Alright then! You only have 4,000 points. Let's take 4,000 points!"
Lu Benwei could just walk away. After all, no one could catch up with his speed.
However, if he shook off the Jingben, there would still be others. He might as well use him as an example.
Everyone was amused and suggested the battle room in the middle of the floor. After all, everyone wanted to see how strong Lu Benwei was.
The battle began!
Jingben stood ready. Although he thought he could defeat Lu Benwei, he felt that the top scorer sure had something up his sleeve.
This battle would at least be a bitter one!
Chapter 32
Quite Strong, I Almost Made the Second Move
In the battle room.
All the students of Class One were here. They looked expectantly at Lu Benwei and Jingben.
One overbearing. One looked calm and composed.
"Can the kid in the first place do it or not?"
"No desire to fight at all. No wonder he's a magician."
There was a lot of chatter around them. Lu Benwei's appearance clearly aroused their disdain.
"Hey, Yanyan." Zhao Xiaoqi poked Chu Yan with her arm. "How long do you think that damn pervert will last?"
Chu Yan smiled faintly. "It's hard to say. Let's focus on the battle!"
Zhao Xiaoqi suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Jingben, you can do it!"
Compared to Lu Benwei, Zhao Xiaoqi still hoped that Jingben could kill him in one move.
When Jingben heard that Zhao Xiaoqi was cheering for him, his aura became even stronger. He had to win this competition no matter what!
Lu Benwei quietly activated [Eye of Insight].
[Name: Jingben] 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂
[Level: 13]
[Class: Duelist (warrior Class One Class Advancement)]
[Talent: Bull Physique (passive, toughness +50 percent, defense +30 percent)]
Lu Benwei sneered inwardly.
He was only at level 13!
Lu Benwei's aura suddenly rose as he released the Heavenly Dog's Fury. The terrifying phantom of the Heavenly Dog appeared.
Seeing this, Jingben said, "You're being deliberately mystifying!"
With that, he stopped dawdling.
"Bull Charge!"
[Bull Charge]
[Level-ten skill.]
[Effect: Point at an enemy and collide, causing 50 percent of your own toughness and 50 percent of your own defense. Unstoppable!]
Through Eye of Insight, Lu Benwei immediately learned about Bull Rush Charge.
"Unstoppable. Interesting."
Lu Benwei smiled slyly.
"I insist on trying this today!"
Myriad Holy Light together with Heavenly Holy Shield to offset the damage of Bull Charge!
"Rumble!"
Dust immediately covered Lu Benwei and Jingben.
Jingben thought, 'Did he dodge?'
"Why do I feel like I've hit a brick wall?"
Suddenly, he felt Lu Benwei's breathing. He was right in front of his eyes!
Jingben panicked. "Why is this guy so tough?"
He instinctively wanted to pull away, but he suddenly felt an inexplicable power pouring into him. At the same time, his feet seemed to be filled with lead and he could not move!
How powerful was this increase in vitality?
Heavenly Dog's Fury together with Heavenly Dog Blade and Sharp Blade. Lu Benwei's strength had reached a terrifying level!
"That number one freshman must've been smashed into a pulp on the spot."
"Fighting a duelist head-on is suicide!"
"The tenacity of a duelist is comparable to a knight in full armor. I can't help but wonder if this kid's title as the top student is undeserved!"
Zhao Xiaoqi poked Chu Yan. "Yanyan, what do you think?"
Chu Yan smiled faintly. "Although the title of top student can't be humiliated, even I might not be able to escape unscathed if I fight a duelist head-on."
"Of course. If it were me, I'd choose to avoid it with all my might."
With that, she looked back into the center of the field.
'Lu Benwei, is this all you've got?' Chu Yan frowned slightly and thought to herself.
Then, a figure flew out of the smoke. He arched his back like a shrimp and flew backward into the wall.
"Boom!"
The wall instantly spread out like a spiderweb with that person as the center.
Lu Benwei's lazy voice followed.
"Damn! It's really f*cking hard! My feet are swollen!"
The only sound was the sharp intake of breath.
One move…
Lu Benwei, the newcomer, had only used one move to send the bull-like duelist, Jingben, into the wall.
One of the students tried to pull Jingben off the wall. In the end, he realized that he could not even pull him out with his own strength.
"Is this the gap between you and the top student?"
"Did the magician class suddenly awaken its bloodline?"
"It's a good thing I always stick my neck out, or my bones might fall apart."
Someone's mouth twitched. Someone gasped for air.
Then, Lu Benwei pimped out. Everyone made way for him.
By now, Jingben had been pulled down from the wall. It had to be said that a duelist's physical toughness and defense were still very terrifying.
Other than making Lu Benwei's feet hurt and his bones falling apart, he was unharmed.
Jingben's face was pale. The pain from his broken bones made him break out in a cold sweat.
"I… I lost."
When Jingben saw Lu Benwei walking over, his face was filled with fear!
Lu Benwei held out a hand. "Points, please!"
Jingben suddenly struggled, but found that he could not get up.
"Can you take it easy? I only have 4,000 points," Jingben said, looking embarrassed.
This was because losing these points meant that he had no more resources among the new students.
Moreover, students with less than 1,000 hunter coins a month would be expelled by the school.
It would take a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. Although his body was strong, he still needed a month to recover. He was going to be expelled next month.
Lu Benwei said coldly, "I remember there's a rule at Zhejiang Hunter University. In a duel, life and death are up to fate!"
With that, he raised his foot and prepared to stomp down heavily.
The crowd gasped. Some even closed their eyes.
Jingben's expression changed. "I'll give it, I'll give it!"
With that, he pursed his lips, indicating that the student token was in his pocket. Although the student token was only an iron token, it had a few spells attached to it.
Lu Benwei first converted the points from the capital city into hunter coins and then transferred them to himself.
Finally, after throwing the token in Jingben's face, he said, "You guys, carry him to the infirmary."
The boys behind Lu Benwei shuddered and obeyed. Then they found a stretcher and carried him to the infirmary.
Lu Benwei left.
…
That night, in the infirmary of Zhejiang Hunter University.
Jingben, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, dialed a number.
"Hey, the mission failed. Do I still have a chance?"
The person on the other end of the line sneered. "Do you think you still have a chance after you fail? What a joke!"
Jingben was a little indignant. "Then can you lend me 2,000 points? 1,000 is fine too!"
Beep, beep, beep… On the other end of the line came the cold click of the phone being disconnected.
There was a thud. Jingben's phone slid to the floor.
At the same time, tears of remorse fell from the corners of his eyes.
On the other side, in a female dormitory at Zhejiang Hunter University.
Chu Yan was also on the phone with someone.
"That's what happened …"
"How do you feel about him?"
On the other end of the line, there was only heavy breathing as if a mountain was waking up!
Chapter 33
The Strange Chu Yan
The second day of school.
The news that Lu Benwei, the number one freshman, had sent a student ranked 28th flying with a kick had completely spread.
"Did you hear? Our number one freshman sent a duelist flying with a kick!"
"What's so strange about that?"
"But the key is that the freshman is ranked 28th!"
There was a lot of talk about Lu Benwei in the Lotus Garden Restaurant at Zhejiang Hunter University.
"Damn, that's scary. I remember that the top freshman was a magician."
"Do magicians have such powerful attacks?"
"I don't know. I only know that the 28th freshman has the powerful talent of Bull Physique!"
"Damn, he sent a duelist with Bull Physique flying with a kick? What kind of attack power does this magician have?"
The news spread like wildfire.
Lu Benwei was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Could it be that this number one freshman is a magician on the surface but is a powerful warrior?"
"I understand. The number one freshman might be a rare supporter and warrior dual cultivation class."
"Warriors have the possibility of kicking the duelist away, but I heard that before this, the number one freshman even used his body to withstand a single blow from the duelist!"
"Ah? Could he be an unprecedented supporter, warrior, and knight?"
"Oh my, what a monster!"
Some mysterious news also entered Lu Benwei's ears.
"Why can't this group of people believe that I did it solely with my skills as a supporter?"
Lu Benwei took a depressed bite of his bun. He thought that the people of this world were still too prejudiced against the magician class.
If outsiders heard what he said just now, they would definitely curse.
'Animal!'
What kind of enhancement skill could push his attributes to such a terrifying extent?
A supporter is like a healer, where they could increase a person's overall combat strength by 30 percent.
'But you're good.'
A group enhancement could increase all attributes by 40 percent!
'Are you joking?'
Lu Benwei finished his breakfast and hurried to the teaching building.
Last night, Li Muchen sent a notification in the online group chat.
"Gather in class at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I have something important to announce!"
Soon, Lu Benwei arrived at Class One. There were only a few people in the class.
"Lu Benwei hit me hard yesterday," a chubby boy said, "I can't believe a magician did this."
"Tsk, it's just a kick to the shins. I could do the same."
"If you ask me, I can only blame Jingben for being careless."
"If it were me, I'd choose to consume a wave of Lu Benwei's stamina first."
The person who said this was called Li Jiahe. He was ranked ninth among the new students.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it was indeed possible. However, in front of Lu Benwei, it was just a kick or two.
"Someone is still dissatisfied with me, the number one freshman. If you're not convinced, you can start betting with me with hunter coins!"
Lu Benwei quietly entered the class. He had heard Li Jiahe's words clearly. He did not expect Li Jiahe to run his mouth.
"Tsk, you're already pulling a long face after getting first place. Those who don't know might think that you're already in first place in Dragon Country!"
The fat boy from before said weakly, "Alright, Li Jiahe, stop talking! We're all classmates. We meet frequently…"
Li Jiahe did not even look at him. "What's wrong? I'm telling you, I just don't like Lu Benwei! Being the top student and defeating Jingben was just luck."
With that, Li Jiahe stood up and glared at Lu Bingwei.
Lu Benwei frowned. 'This swarm of flies is annoying. How dare one run away and another come? Since you want to die so badly, I'll fulfill your wish!'
Heavenly Dog's Fury activated!
Heavenly Dog Blade activated!
The majestic and terrifying phantom of a Heavenly Dog appeared! This classroom that could only accommodate 40 people was immediately filled with vigorous power!
Everyone was so oppressed that they did not dare to breathe!
Li Jiahe's eyes widened. "Is this an all-attribute enhancement?" He finally understood why Jingben had been defeated by him.
Lu Benwei's strength had probably more than doubled! How high was this guy's level?
'Level 14? Level 15?'
At this moment, Li Jiahe regretted it!
"Stop!" Li Muchen's voice sounded.
In the next second, Lu Benwei deactivated Heavenly Dog's Fury and Heavenly Dog Blade! His aura returned to normal.
Li Muchen looked at Lu Ben Wei and Li Jiahe with a dignified gaze. 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"I'm very gratified that you can carry out the mission of Zhejiang Hunter University. But I'm going to announce something later. I want your previous battle to be postponed for a while."
With that, Li Muchen glanced at Li Jiahe. His cold eyes made him fall into an icehouse.
Li Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, 'Is this trying to save me?'
At that moment, Zhao Xiaoqi was wearing a loli skirt as she skipped into the classroom. Behind her, Chu Yan was wearing a long purple dress, revealing her slender calves. Every line was youthful and smooth, every inch of his skin warm and smooth like jade.
For the first time, Lu Benwei understood what this meant. He looked at this scene and just admired her beauty.
Li Muchen said coldly, "Alright, I'll announce something. It's the day the freshmen resources are distributed. There will be a freshman tournament in three days.
"At that time, the new students of the Hunter Special Combat Class will also participate."
These words immediately caused an uproar.
"The Hunter Special Combat Team is the cream of the crop!"
"Oh no, oh no. If I'm unlucky, I won't even last one move against the Hunter Special Combat Class!"
As everyone felt pressured, they looked at Lu Benwei with some gloating. Since none of them was Lu Benwei's match, those specially recruited geniuses should be his match, right?
At that time, they would know who the real number one freshman was!
Lu Benwei ignored the gazes of the group and secretly looked at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan had three powerful talents, and she was a noble elementalist.
Such a talent should have long been scouted by the Nine Great Hunter Universities. How could she possibly pass the assessment and enter the university and be below him?
"I didn't expect you to have some secrets like me," Lu Benwei muttered to himself.
However, he did not think much of it. Right now, the most important thing was to welcome the freshmen tournament!
He wanted them to know that even if the others came, he would still be first!
What Hunter Special Combat Team?!
Chapter 34
Benefits for the Top Three New Students
Soon, it was time to distribute the new students' resources. It was also the opening ceremony for new students.
However, compared to the boring speech, everyone was more interested in distributing resources. As time passed, the freshmen's opening ceremony was no longer remembered.
All the freshmen gathered in the auditorium, big enough to hold two thousand people. It was decorated in a western style, making it look solemn and dignified.
On the wall in front of the auditorium, the silver-and-gold-embossed logo of Zhejiang Hunter University was hung.
On the school badge, a warrior holding a wooden stick and slashing at a ferocious dragon-shaped monster.
No one knew how monsters descended on this planet. No one knew how the first hunter had been born.
They only knew that in the long history, countless hunters had slashed at monsters that were several times stronger than them!
Principal Chen Yuan and a group of school leaders sat upright, looking dignified.
Offstage, many new students looked at the form teacher excitedly and whispered.
"Teacher Wang, what level of resource will I be?"
"With your ranking, it would be a blessing if I could give you an E-rank resource," someone teased.
There were more than 900 new students at Zhejiang Hunter University.
Beyond the 500th place, all of them were given F-rank resources.
200-500th, E-rank resources!
100-199th place, D-rank resources!
50-99th place, C-rank resources!
…
1-10, S-rank resources!
With so many people, it was not practical to distribute them one by one either.
The top 100 would be distributed one by one. This way, it increased the popularity and familiarity of the top 100 students.
At the same time, others could remember what they look like. In the future, this group of people will be your targets!
Everyone secretly felt that some of them had even become targets.
At the top ten, there was a sudden riot.
"We're finally going to know the faces of the top ten freshmen."
"I still don't know what the number one freshman is called!"
"Lu Benwei's name is all over the place, and you don't even know it."
"So what if you know? You want to challenge him?"
Although he said that, Lu Benwei had secretly become the number one on the execution list.
Countless people listed him as a challenge target.
It had been a month since school started. Other than attending classes, Lu Benwei had been cooped up in his single dormitory.
The rules of Zhejiang Hunter University forbade them from attacking people in the teaching area and dormitory.
Otherwise, the number of people who had lost to Lu Benwei would probably be piled into a small mountain.
"In my opinion, this first-place freshman only has a false reputation and was lucky enough to become the top student."
"Can my strength increase if I stay in the dormitory all the time? I'm afraid others have already surpassed me."
"Seriously, I've been training for a week and have already broken through to level 15. When the resources are distributed, I must stop him!"
Hearing the mocking voices from time to time, Lu Benwei sneered in his heart.
'What's your status? What strength do I have? I can cultivate faster than you guys!'
With the heaven-defying skill One-Click Skill Support, Lu Benwei's skills had all reached A-rank and above.
Heavenly Dog's Fury had even reached S-rank!
Ordinary people might reach level 30 if they cultivated a skill to S-rank, but it was impossible for them to reach A-rank at level 40.
On the other hand, Lu Benwei simply used One-Click Skill Support to simulate the battle scene and train his various skills.
His skill proficiency was constantly increasing!
The next second, Chen Yuan's voice sounded.
"Next, Chu Yan! S-rank resources!"
When Chu Yan heard this, she immediately stood up and went forward.
In that instant alone, the air in the auditorium seemed to freeze. All the male compatriots present held their breath.
She had a slender waist and looked delicate. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyebrows were lightly swept. She was beautiful and refined.
She needed to be admired quietly. The more people looked at her, the more beautiful she became.
The students present did not dare to make a sound, afraid that the noise would make this beautiful woman unhappy.
"Next, Lu Benwei!"
Chen Yuan paused for a moment before continuing, "A-rank resources!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally calm atmosphere below the stage was instantly broken.
"Isn't he the top freshman? Why does he receive A-rank resources?"
"Isn't that easy to understand?"
"No matter how impressive Lu Benwei is, he's still a magician. Why should we give him so many resources? We might as well give them to our beautiful Chu Yan!"
It dawned on everyone when someone said that. No matter how heaven-defying a magician was, their skills against monsters were limited.
It was better to allocate better resources to the other talents and Hunter Special Combat Class.
Lu Benwei had already known about this situation and went on stage without any surprise.
After receiving the resources, Lu Benwei realized that it was a level 20 skill scroll.
[Grim Rain. Level: 20]
[Effect: Restores your vigor for 30 seconds. As your proficiency increases, the time will also increase!]
Lu Benwei did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Unexpectedly, as a supporter magician, he had only just obtained a healing skill after so long.
Lu Benwei thought it was over. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan's words made the other students envious.
"This year, our Zhejiang Hunter University will undergo a reform. The distribution of resources is also somewhat different.
"The top three freshmen still have a chance to go to the weapon pavilion to obtain an attribute weapon!"
Attribute weapons often increase the user's four-dimensional attributes. It also added elemental damage.
For example, Lu Benwei's Heavenly Dog's Sword. When attacking, there will also be additional fire damage. There was a five percent chance of causing a burning effect that lasted for 10 seconds.
Just this characteristic alone was enough to completely surpass most weapons of the same rare quality.
At Zhejiang Hunter University, the attributed weapons were all hidden in the weapon pavilion. Just the entry fee cost 200,000 hunter coins.
It had been years since he had accumulated 200,000 hunter coins.
The three freshmen were Lu Benwei, Chu Yan, and a person called Lin Feng from Class Two.
Lin Feng was also an extraordinary person. He could have entered Class One and been classmates with Lu Benwei.
When he heard that the number one freshman was a magician, his face immediately fell.
'A magician stepping on my head? I'll trap you, monkey!'
He would rather be the head of a chicken in class than be stepped on by Lu Benwei.
Earlier, when he saw Chu Yan go on stage to receive the resources, he immediately regretted it. To be classmates with such beauty, so what if he was stepped on by Lu Benwei?
After the ceremony ended, the three of them headed to the weapon pavilion under Li Muchen's lead.
Chapter 35
Another Bootlicker
"Hello, Chu Yan! My name is Lin Feng."
Lin Feng walked beside Chu Yan and pretended to be cold. At the same time, he was secretly delighted.
Women liked such cold and handsome men. However, Chu Yan only acknowledged him and ignored him.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. Chu Yan was the first girl who could withstand his charm. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶
He then repeated his introduction, "Student Chu Yan, my name is Lin Feng. I'm ranked third among this year's freshmen."
Chu Yan looked at Lin Feng strangely and said, "Student Lin Feng, please don't stand in my way."
Lin Feng was stunned again. Then, he made way for Chu Yan. Still, he refused to give up.
He was very confident in his evaluation. 30 percent was based on strength and 70 percent on appearance. 'Since my strength can't convince you, I'll do it another way.'
He considered himself a one-in-a-hundred handsome man. Chu Yan would definitely be impressed by his appearance. Then, he stopped and fiddled with his tousled hair.
Lin Feng then walked up to Chu Yan. With one hand in his pocket, he assumed a posture that he thought was very handsome.
"Chu Yan, can I have dinner with you tonight?"
However, Chu Yan was only stunned for a moment before she went around him.
Lin Feng was shocked. 'Was I in the wrong position just now? Why doesn't my charm work in front of her?'
Lin Feng lost his confidence. Today was the first time in his life that he had been humiliated.
'Woman, you've aroused my great interest.'
"Chu Yan, I'll be straightforward. I like you. May I be friends with you?"
Only then did Chu Yan stop. She sized up this strange man curiously. The man in front of him was confident.
She had once read about the experience of an ordinary man online. At first, she sneered and wondered how such a creature could exist in the world. Today, she had finally seen what a man was.
Chu Yan suddenly smiled. This smile immediately reached Lin Feng's heart.
"Chu Yan…"
Before Lin Feng could finish, Chu Yan said, "If you want me to like you, you should at least be strong enough, right?"
Lin Feng was in a daze. Then, he said, "How strong must he be to catch your attention?"
Chu Yan pointed at Lu Benwei, who was playing with his phone in the distance.
…
"Oh dear, it's the wrong number. It should've been two!"
Lu Benwei was obviously playing Fight the Landlord.
Coincidentally, Lu Benwei saw Chu Yan pointing at him from the corner of his eye and took off his earpiece.
"What is it?" He looked puzzled.
Lin Feng walked toward him aggressively. "Lu Benwei, I want to fight you one-on-one!"
Lu Benwei had some impressions of Lin Feng. He was ranked third after Chu Yan.
Facing Lin Feng's aggressive attack, Lu Benwei felt a little baffled.
"I'm sorry, but I don't duel with people who rank lower than me."
No one on campus ranked higher than Lu Benwei. This was just his excuse for rejecting Lin Feng. His original intention was for Lin Feng to retreat in the face of difficulties. However, his careless remark hit Lin Feng's heart.
"What did you say? Are you saying I'm weaker than you?"
Lin Feng was so angry that he vomited blood. 'Who are you, a magician, to put on airs in front of me?'
"You were lucky enough to get in front of Yanyan and me. What's there to be proud of? Come and fight me one-on-one if you dare. Prove your strength!
"You don't even dare to fight one-on-one. I feel sorry for Yanyan for being in the same class as someone like you!"
When Lu Benwei heard him calling her Yanyan, he thought that this man was most likely a bootlicker.
Then, Lin Feng turned to look at Chu Yan. "Yanyan, did you see that? This person is a coward!"
"I don't need to compete with him to know that I'm stronger than him."
Chu Yan walked by, her high ponytail swinging.
"When you defeat Lu Benwei, I'll consider us friends."
After saying that, Chu Yan turned around and smiled playfully at Lu Benwei.
'I thought that Chu Yan was a cold beauty. I didn't expect her to be quite scheming.' Lu Benwei cursed in his heart.
At the same time, he felt that he was being used as a spare tire to divert hatred. Lu Benwei felt a headache coming on.
Zhao Xiaoqi was like a shrew. Chu Yan was a scheming woman.
Women were indeed troublesome creatures!
Lu Benwei chose to ignore Lin Feng and followed Li Muchen to the weapon pavilion.
When they arrived, they found that there were others besides them. There were seven or eight young men about their age and an elderly man.
The old man was Lu Benwei's old acquaintance, Liu Yi.
"Mr. Liu, why are you here?" Lu Benwei greeted Liu Yi.
When Liu Yi saw Lu Benwei, he scolded jokingly. "Kid, I'm the head of the weapon pavilion. Is it rare to be here?"
"The head of the weapon pavilion?" Lu Benwei asked, "Aren't you the dean of the support vocation academy?"
Liu Yi let out a long sigh. "It's our ruthless principle. They pay me a salary, but make me do multiple jobs.
"In addition to the dean of the support vocational academy, the dean of the admissions office, and the head of the weapons pavilion, I'm also the deputy director of the logistics department and the person in charge of safety in the cafeteria…"
Lu Benwei's expression changed slightly.
The gap at Zhejiang Hunter University was no longer just at the student level. Even the teacher's level was affected. Zhejiang Hunter University must have had some unspeakable secret. Otherwise, as one of the Nine Great Hunter Universities, it would definitely not be in such a sorry state.
After Liu Yi finished speaking, he suddenly held Lu Benwei's hand. "Come, let me introduce you. This is Lu Benwei, the number one freshman in our batch. These are the members of the Hunter Special Combat Class."
Lu Benwei looked at the group. They were all wearing dazzling battle suits that seemed to be custom-made.
For example, the shorty with a mouth full of sharp teeth like a shark. His dark blue combat uniform fitted his skin tightly. At the same time, it was covered in fine scales. From afar, it really looked like a small shark.
"Chu Yan, Lin Feng, come over and greet each other. Why don't you introduce yourself to the Hunter Special Combat Class?"
Chu Yan and Lin Feng walked over together.
"Hello, my name is Chu Yan!"
"My name is Lin Feng!"
Lu Benwei and the other two reached out together, wanting to shake hands with the Hunter Special Combat Class.
"Get your filthy hands off me. Who wants to get to know you, useless people?"
A girl in a fiery red combat uniform with hair like flames pulled her hand away from Chu Yan. Disgust was written all over his face.
As for the other students in the Hunter Special Combat Class, their faces were filled with arrogance.
Chapter 36
The Bootlicker Becomes A Wolf Warrior!
A student from the Hunter Special Combat Class with long braids leaned over and whispered in the ear of the boy who looked like a shark.
The shark-lookalike sneered after him.
"To think that I thought so highly of you, Lu Benwei. After a month, you're still only level 16!"
With that, he pointed his thumb down in disdain.
Was it the same support skill? Lu Benwei guessed. Then, he activated the Eye of Insight!
[Name: Lin Feng]
[Level: 16]
[Class: Swordsman (warrior hidden class]
[Talent: Sword Soul (sword-type weapon resonance increased, sword control skill damage increased by 50 percent)]
"Huh?!"
The moment Lu Benwei activated his Eye of Insight, Lin Feng stood in front of him aggressively.
"You guys want to fight, don't you?"
As an ordinary man, Lin Feng was naturally very proud. If anyone looked down on him, he would teach them a lesson immediately!
"You guys who passed the martial arts assessment are just trash!"
"Fight with us? Sure, we'll bet all our hunter coins!" a Hunter Special Combat Class student said contemptuously.
At the same time, Lin Feng pulled Lu Benwei over. "The number one freshman, bet with them. When you fight them later, don't forget to increase my strength!"
Lu Benwei only wanted to obtain the weapon later. He had no intention to fight with them.
"Student Lin Feng, would you bite a dog if it bit you?" Lu Benwei asked.
They looked at this group of people like they were fools.
The other two students from the Hunter Special Combat Class did not react at all when they saw Lin Feng.
Helpless, they could only say, "A coward is a coward. Stop putting on airs here!"
"Enough!" Liu Yi's face darkened.
"We're all comrades-in-arms who will fight against monsters in the future. If you have the energy, why don't you focus on cultivation?!
"Don't think you have nothing to fear, Hunter Special Combat Class. In all the years since the establishment of the school, there have been students from every batch of Hunter Special Combat class who have been outdone by ordinary students."
When the students of the Hunter Special Combat Class heard this, they restrained themselves.
However, Lin Feng did not seem to intend to let them off so easily.
"Mr. Liu, the weapon pavilion of Zhejiang Hunter University is said to hold a peerless divine item with spirituality, right?" Lin Feng asked.
Liu Yi stroked his beard. "That's right! One can find a weapon that is most compatible with his attributes. The weapon pavilion will pull him into a mystic realm and test him! The difficulty of the test varies according to the grade of the weapon."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. "I say, Hunter Special Combat Class, should we make a bet?"
The shark-lookalike sneered. "Who's betting on finding a weapon of a higher grade?"
Attribute weapons were divided into ordinary weapons such as the Heavenly Dog Sword. Then there were the Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, and legendary Black grades.
A powerful attribute weapon could give the holder even more terrifying attributes, allowing the holder's combat strength to instantly increase!
At this moment, the previous man whispered to the shark-lookalike again.
"Mo Tianyu, this guy is only level 16. We can bet with him."
Mo Tianyu was the strongest member of the Hunter Special Combat Class. The entire class followed his lead.
"Sure, how about 50,000 points?" Mo Tianyu said.
Lin Feng could not ask for more.
Lu Benwei was amused.
It seemed that the supporters of the Hunter Special Combat Class could only see the hunter's level and not their talent. Little did he know that Lin Feng's Sword Soul could increase the resonance of sword-type weapons.
Lin Feng had a high chance of winning this bet.
"Alright, I'll bet with the number one freshman!" Lin Feng agreed on the spot.
Lu Benwei was stunned.
'Why did you call me? I'm just watching a show!'
Lu Benwei was about to refuse when Lin Feng pulled him closer to the weapon pavilion. The weapons pavilion was an eight-story exquisite tower that seemed to be a weapon in itself.
The moment Lu Benwei entered, he felt the profoundness within.
There was the great Dao Sanskrit chanting. Lu Benwei felt much calmer. Every cell in his body became active and he chanted along with the Sanskrit.
"Cultivating here seems to increase my speed by a lot!"
A bold thought occurred to Lu Benwei but it soon extinguished itself.
No matter how fast one cultivated here, could it compare to Ten Times Experience? Lu Benwei smiled, then settled his mind and searched for a weapon of his own.
At the same time, it was much livelier outside the Weapon Pavilion.
"Mr. Liu, have all my students gone in?"
A gray-haired middle-aged man in a blue battle robe stepped through the air and arrived outside the weapons pavilion.
"Teacher Wang, I was just about to look for you! I plan to have a talk with you. How do you manage your students? All of them are proud and arrogant, giving orders to ordinary students."
Liu Yi vented his grievances to the former teacher of the Hunter Special Combat Class.
Teacher Wang's real name was Wang Wei, and he was one of the representatives of Zhejiang Hunter University.
He was only 50 years old, but he had already reached level 81. He was a powerful third-stage Class Advancement Master. Currently, he led the Hunter Special Combat Class.
Wang Wei did not give Liu Yi any face at all. "Why ask the sheep how the wolves feel? If you want to blame someone, blame those ordinary students for being disappointing."
At the side, Li Muchen's originally cold face became respectful. "Teacher Wang, long time no see."
"Level fifty-five now?"
"That's right!"
Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction at his former student.
Liu Yi continued to chase after him. "Teacher Wang, if you leave it like this, something big will happen!"
"They're all adults. They have to be responsible for what they do," Wang Wei said coldly, "On the other hand, you've been protecting your students. Be careful not to suffer a backlash."
"You!" Liu Yi's expression was ferocious.
'Your student was clearly in the wrong. Why are you acting so self-righteous?'
"Teachers, stop arguing," Li Muchen said softly, "Let's watch the students' performance."
At this moment, a huge projection had already appeared in front of them. Twelve images were projected onto it. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Three of the students from the Hunter Special Combat Class had already been pulled into the weapon mystic realm.
"Ordinary attribute weapons…" Wang Wei said unhappily.
Liu Yi teased, "Teacher Wang, attribute weapons can't resonate with ordinary people! By the way, Lu Benwei has already obtained an ordinary attribute weapon before the martial arts assessment."
Wang Wei snorted and said, "Don't be so smug. Isn't Lu Benwei a magician?"
"In my opinion, Mo Tianyu from our class can find attribute weapons of the green or even blue grades."
Li Muchen also said, "Teacher Wang is right. Among this group of people, Mo Tianyu has the highest level and the best talent. If he works hard, he can even find purple-grade weapons."
"That's not right," Liu Yi lectured, "No matter what, Student Lu is still your student. How can you side with an outsider? Besides, Lu Benwei made a bet with them. We'll be the ones losing face."
"I'm just telling the truth." Li Muchen bowed slightly to express his apology.
When Wang Wei heard this, he became interested. "Mr. Liu, since you think so highly of Lu Benwei, why don't we make a bet?"
Chapter 37
Three Weapons
"On what?!" Liu Yi replied to Wang Wei coldly.
Wang Wei raised his voice. "Let's bet on five epic-grade skill scrolls and see who will have the highest grade attribute weapons. How about that?"
The skill scroll was the same as an attribute weapon. It was also divided into four levels. They were: White Skill Scrolls, Blue Rare Skill Scrolls, Purple Epic Skill Scrolls, and Orange Legendary Skill Scrolls.
As the dean and the master of the weapon pavilion, Liu Yi had a lot of epic-ranked skill scrolls.
"Okay, let's bet!" Liu Yi had high hopes for the three new students and agreed in a deep voice.
In the Eight Trigrams Exquisite Pagoda.
Lu Benwei and the other two were also betting with the remaining six students of the Hunter Special Combat Class.
Lin Feng closed his eyes tightly before a weapon as if he had fallen into meditation. Suddenly he opened his eyes. His lips curved.
"I choose you!"
In the next second, Lin Feng clenched his fist, and a blue light instantly illuminated the entire weapon pavilion. The chanting of the great Dao Sanskrit sounded! 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚
A fierce gale suddenly swept over, tearing at every inch of everyone's skin.
Blue-grade weapon, Windbreaker!
Immediately after, the chanting of the great Dao Sanskrit became even louder, and the Windbreaker buzzed. A speck of starlight glittered on its blade.
A dimensional passageway opened, and a large black hand reached out and pulled Lin Feng in.
The others watched, slightly entranced.
"The kid actually chose a blue-grade weapon," one of the Hunter Special Combat Class muttered.
Mo Tianyu sneered and said, "Level 15. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come out if you forcefully choose a blue-grade attribute weapon?"
Every attribute weapon more or less had spirituality. The size of the spirituality depended on the grade of the attribute weapon, and the strength of the attribute weapon's mystic realm also changed accordingly.
Generally speaking, green-grade weapons were suitable for those below level 25.
If he rashly chose a blue-grade weapon, it was very likely that he would be trapped in the mystic realm of the weapon and suffer a backlash.
"That's true. I guess the kid wants to win the bet and force himself to choose a blue-grade weapon."
"Looks like the third new student is going to change hands." The Hunter Special Combat Class student sneered and mocked.
Lu Benwei was not worried at all.
Lin Feng had a Sword Soul. It could increase the resonance of sword-type weapons. The mystic realm difficulty of a blue-grade weapon was probably equivalent to a green-grade weapon in his hands.
Outside the weapon pavilion.
Liu Yi could no longer hold back his smile. They could see the scene in the mystic realm from the outside.
"Teacher Wang, I didn't expect us to be able to recruit a student with Sword Soul this year."
Wang Wei's lips twitched. "You already knew that Lin Feng had this attribute?"
Liu Yi swore to the heavens. "The heavens have eyes. If I had known that Lin Feng had this attribute, I wouldn't have had a son!"
Wang Wei's mouth twitched. 'You're in charge of recruitment. Who would believe that you don't know the talent of the third-ranked freshman?'
He then glanced at Liu Yi and suddenly thought that Liu Yi had long been infertile at his age… "I was tricked by you!" Wang Wei's gaze froze on Ma Tianyu's image.
Mo Tianyu also entered the mystic realm. Like Lin Feng, he also chose a blue-grade weapon. Then, he looked at Lu Benwei's image. At this moment, he was still aimlessly choosing attribute weapons.
Lu Benwei considered selecting a blue-grade sword-type weapon. However, there were not many types of weapons in the weapon pavilion, and there were very few sword-type weapons. After Lin Feng picked one, the remaining ones suited Lu Benwei's taste.
"Hey annoying fellow, do you want to try the staff?" Chu Yan was on the upper level. She held two blue-grade staves in her hands and spoke to Lu Benwei.
"What did you call me?" Lu Benwei's face was full of question marks.
"Annoying fellow! Qiqi calls you a pervert, but I call you an annoying fellow. It sounds pretty good."
Lu Benwei was speechless. This woman was really troublesome.
Next, he activated Eye of Insight.
Chu Yan was holding a dual-attribute staff with ice and water attributes in her left hand. The other was a staff that could increase healing effects. The bonus was not bad either.
Lu Benwei did not have many requirements for the staff and attributes.
However, the one in Chu Yan's left hand was clearly chosen for her.
The healing staff was not to his liking.
"Thanks, but I'd like to work on the selection," Lu Benwei said, declining her offer.
Suddenly, Chu Yan smiled sweetly.
"I came across a steel staff when I was on the second floor. It's suitable for a battle magician, and it suits you. You should try it."
Lu Benwei was stunned. Chu Yan could see through his thoughts.
As a magician, he was naturally suitable for healing staff. However, Lu Benwei was different. He was a battle healer. Therefore, weapons without any attack attributes were naturally not worthy of his attention.
"Thank you again." Lu Benwei cupped his hands and thanked her again.
With that, he was about to walk toward the second floor. However, at that moment, an extremely ear-piercing buzz sounded, and its momentum actually surpassed the great Dao Sanskrit of the Eight Trigrams Exquisite Pagoda.
Thud!
"Knock, knock!"
One pulse after another sounded like a heartbeat.
"What's going on?"
"Earthquake?"
Chu Yan and Lu Benwei exclaimed one after another.
At this moment, the two of them did not choose their attribute weapons. Only the two of them could sense this change.
Suddenly, an inexplicable force descended from the sky and pulled Lu Benwei up. He was caught off guard and hung high in the air.
"Hey, annoying fellow!" Chu Yan exclaimed and prepared to help.
However, at this moment, the chanting of the great Dao Sanskrit could be heard.
The dual-attribute staff unfolded a dimensional passageway and pulled Chu Yan in.
Lu Benwei was stunned. In the next second, the inexplicable force suddenly relaxed and threw Lu Benwei into a mystic realm.
"This is…?"
Outside the weapon pavilion, Wang Wei and Liu Yi were dumbfounded. Even Li Muchen's eyes widened.
"Damn, what's going on?" Liu Yi's eyes widened.
"Could it be that it resonated with some weapon and caused this scenario in the weapon pavilion?" Wang Wei's face was filled with surprise. "This kid is something."
"This is the only explanation." Liu Yi's expression returned to normal.
At this moment, Li Muchen's voice came faintly.
"There are more amazing things."
"The soul that resonates with Lu Benwei is…"
The Ancient Sword of Clarity!
Liu Yi and Wang Wei's faces instantly turned pale!
After Lu Benwei entered the mystic realm, he only saw a longsword floating in the air. His entire body was as black as ink, filled with the aura of time.
Without thinking, Lu Benwei activated Eye of Insight.
[Ancient Sword of Clarity. Weapon attributes: No level, no enhancement, no attributes]
[Effect: It can double the holder's attributes! It can devour other equipment to grow and enhance the effect. Devouring other equipment and weapons had a chance to increase its grade. Every increase in level can double its ability. If it can increase attributes by ten times when upgraded to the red grade, it could increase attributes by a hundred times when upgraded to the black grade.]
Chapter 38
Peerless Genius
Lu Benwei's eyelids tingled as he read the line of text.
The three people outside the weapons pavilion felt their scalps tingle.
"This kid has a soul resonance with the Ancient Sword of Clarity!" Wang Wei's mouth twitched.
"What's the mystic realm difficulty of the Ancient Sword of Clarity?" Although Liu Yi was overjoyed, his expression was extremely solemn.
"Even if there's a soul resonance, the difficulty of the mystic realm will drop by a level."
"With Lu Benwei's strength, he shouldn't be able to pass, right?"
"Should we chant the oath and forcefully terminate the test?" Liu Yi suggested.
Wang Wei's expression was solemn. "Let's wait and see. If Lu Benwei's life is in danger, the three of us will immediately chant the oath."
At this moment, they couldn't care less about the bet they had made. As the two cornerstones of Zhejiang Hunter University, they knew how powerful the Ancient Sword of Clarity was. Its mystic realm level was comparable to a black-grade weapon!
In the mystic realm, Lu Benwei looked at the weapon eagerly.
A weapon that could grow was insane. At the same time, he knew that the test he would face would be dozens of times greater than what he had encountered previously!
Heavenly Dog's Fury activated!
Myriad Holy Light activated!
Minor Healing Activated!
Lu Benwei's aura rose crazily, and his attributes rose like a rocket.
"Not enough! Still not enough!"
Lu Benwei's strength had already grown to an extremely terrifying level. However, he was still alarmed by the unknown danger.
Lu Benwei took out the Heavenly Dog's Sword and fused it with Sharp Blade. Heavenly Light Shield was released! Heavenly Dog's Blade and Myriad Light Fist were ready at the same time!
Lu Benwei's aura surged, and his heart pounded like a war drum.
"Knock, knock!"
"Knock, knock!"
Two drum-like melodies were played.
Lu Benwei's drum-like melody seemed to have angered the Ancient Sword of Clarity. The two voices, like racing cars, fluctuated back and forth and became louder.
Lu Benwei's hair stood on end. His senses had been developed to the maximum, and he was ready to deal with the impending danger. Suddenly, the sound of the Ancient Sword of Clarity stopped.
Whoosh!
The Ancient Sword of Clarity flew directly into Lu Benwei's hand.
"Huh?"
Lu Benwei blinked. 'What the hell is going on?'
"Does that mean you approve of me?" Lu Benwei carefully sized up the Ancient Sword of Clarity.
It was as black as ink, and the sword was like an abyss, absorbing the surrounding aura. Lu Benwei reached out a hand and tried to pick it up.
"Zoom!"
It was neither heavy nor light. A cold but warm touch spread from his palm to his brain. At the same time, Lu Benwei felt his attributes double.
"It was approved by me." Lu Benwei did not know whether to laugh or cry. Earlier, he was so prepared to deal with the imminent danger, but nothing happened.
In the next second, a powerful force pushed Lu Benwei out of the mystic realm and back to the weapon pavilion.
The mouths of Liu Yi and the other two twitched, and their eyes were dull.
Lu Benwei looked at the three teachers and could not help but be curious. "Mr. Liu, are you constipated?"
"Do you know what weapon you've been given, brat?"
"It's just a three-element weapon," Lu Benwei said nonchalantly.
Anyone who could resonate so strongly with such a heaven-defying weapon would think that Lu Benwei had another unspeakable secret. Lu Benwei planned to hide his edge.
"Don't you feel anything?" Wang Wei's mouth twitched. "Is this a fluke?"
"How can a weapon that doesn't even possess a white-grade feel?"
The corners of Wang Wei's mouth twitched even more. "The Ancient Sword of Clarity is…"
"Ahem…" Liu Yi suddenly coughed. "Teacher Wang, you lost the bet…" 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Wang Wei smiled awkwardly. "I know, I won't forget you!"
Then, Liu Yi turned to Lu Benwei and said, "Student Lu, although this weapon looks ordinary, its effect is extremely powerful!"
Lu Benwei asked, "How strong can he be?"
The corners of Liu Yi's mouth twitched as well. He leaned over and whispered into Lu Benwei's ear, "Kid, there's no point in pretending anymore. Others don't know you have investigative skills, but I do."
Lu Benwei smiled sheepishly.
Liu Yi became serious. "However, you'll have quite a problem if you take it."
"What kind of trouble?" Lu Benwei asked, "There's no curse, is there?"
"No." Liu Yi waved his hand.
"This weapon has long been fancied by the most abnormal super monster of Zhejiang Hunter University."
Lu Benwei was immediately interested. "How monstrous?"
"That super genius is a peerless genius with three innate talents, but he didn't subdue this ancient sword previously. Now that you've subdued it, there might be some trouble in the future."
Lu Benwei was stunned. He immediately thought of Li Muchen and subconsciously glanced at him.
Liu Yi patted his shoulder. "It's not him. That pervert's talent is even more terrifying than your former teacher's…"
This peerless genius. He was only two years older than Lu Benwei, but he had already reached level 50. One had to know that after four years on the journey at any hunter university, being able to reach level 40 and complete the second class change after graduation was already considered monstrous. This peerless genius had reached level 50 in his three years of university!
Terrifying!
However, after Liu Yi finished speaking, Lu Benwei acted as if he did not care and left. This made Liu Yi very speechless. He silently registered his name on the register.
Lu Benwei had not been walking for long when light bloomed outside the Eight Trigrams Exquisite Pagoda.
Lin Feng came out and laughed loudly. "Haha, I'll accept the Windbreaker!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold laugh came from behind Lin Feng.
"Who doesn't have a blue-grade weapon?" Mo Tianyu came out with a blue-grade weapon in his hand.
Lin Feng retorted loudly, "Aren't you also holding a blue-grade weapon? What are you so smug about?"
"Look carefully, we've taken three blue-grade weapons!" Behind Mo Tianyu, the flame-like woman also laughed shrilly.
"I don't believe that you three trash ordinary students can hold a loose-handled blue-grade weapon!"
Chu Yan had already come out. She had also obtained a blue-grade weapon.
"Haha, there's only Lu Benwei left."
"He's a magician. He'll be lucky to come out of the mystic realm alive."
The members of the Hunter Special Combat Class had mocking expressions on their faces as if they were certain that they would win.
At this moment, Liu Yi walked over with a smug expression. "Stop arguing. Lu Benwei has already left."
"Gone?"
Everyone in the Hunter Special Combat Class was smiling. "He must've gotten nothing and left with his tail between his legs."
Liu Yi shook his head. "You're taking things for granted. The weapon Lu Benwei obtained is of a higher grade than any of you!"
"What?!" Everyone was stunned.
Mo Tianyu sneered forcefully. "Mr. Liu, don't lie to us just to save face!"
"That's right, Mr. Liu. Don't be biased. There are so many people watching."
Liu Yi shook his head and sneered. "Your form teacher is here. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Only then did the members of the Hunter Special Combat Class realize that their form teacher, Wang Wei, was also here. All of their expressions changed drastically.
With Wang Wei here, Liu Yi had no chance of lying! At this moment, Wang Wei's expression was as ugly as a pork trotter.
"All of you, scram back. You've embarrassed yourselves!" Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Wang Wei's words proved that Lu Benwei had obtained a higher-grade weapon.
He was only level 15. How was that possible?
Shocking!
Petrified!
Unbelievable!
Even Lin Feng was no exception. "This number one freshman is really f*cking awesome!"
Only Chu Yan recalled the scene just now. She seemed deep in thought.
Chapter 39
One-Click Peerless Weapon
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a piece of legendary equipment. You have successfully obtained a unique talent!]
[One-Click Peerless Equipment]
[Effect: Growth equipment cultivation speed increases by ten times. Strengthening equipment is 100 percent successful!]
Lu Benwei was originally thinking about how to cultivate the Ancient Sword of Clarity. After all, he only had the Heavenly Dog's Sword and the Viper Set on hand. It would take a lot of time and effort to cultivate the Ancient Sword of Clarity to level 10.
However, as the system's voice sounded, Lu Benwei was overjoyed. His current dilemma was solved.
Since the growth speed of the weapon had increased by ten times, the time needed to nurture the Ancient Sword of Clarity could be delayed.
Now, he wanted to try the second effect of One-Click Peerless Equipment. Equipment enhancement 100 percent successful!
One had to know that strengthening +1 required an enhancement stone. The success rate was 100 percent!
Strengthening +2 required two enhancement stones, but the success rate had decreased to 50 percent!
At strengthening +3, he needed three enhancement stones. The success rate had also decreased to 25 percent! 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝙚𝓪𝒅.𝒄𝒐𝓶
In this way, as long as one had the financial resources, there was almost no upper limit to their strengthening level!
However, because it had reached +8, the success rate was almost zero. Therefore, there were very few pieces of equipment above level eight in this world. After all, no one could have such huge funds.
Lu Benwei thought about how he could strengthen his equipment 100 percent successfully and was very likely to break the rules of this world. The corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.
Of course, he was not going to go through the motions of raising his equipment to the highest level now. After all, enhancement stones still cost money, and they were expensive.
Outside the school, an enhancement stone cost twenty thousand gold coins. According to the currency rules of Zhejiang Hunter University, an enhancement stone costs 2,000 hunter coins.
Lu Benwei had about 60,000 points, including the credits that Jingben had lost to him and the points he had earned in the past month. After deducting his daily needs, he was only left with 50,000 points to spend.
Fifty thousand points meant twenty-five enhancement stones. It could only produce level-six and level-three equipment. Lu Benwei's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.
"Do you have the skill one key to gain points? This is too painful."
After thinking about it, Lu Benwei decided to first strengthen the Ancient Sword of Clarity to level three and the Viper Set to level 1.
Whistling, Lu Benwei decided to go to the university store and buy the enhancement stones.
"Tsk, annoying fellow!"
A beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Benwe
Lu Benwei was extremely depressed. 'What annoying person? Don't I have a name?'
Out of courtesy, Lu Benwei said, "Miss Chu Yan, you're out?"
Chu Yan rolled her eyes at him. "Isn't that obvious? Could it be that you want me to be trapped in the mystic realm and unable to come out?"
Lu Benwei denied it. "Nothing like that. What are you doing here, anyway?" Lu Benwei changed the subject.
If this woman became entangled like Zhao Xiaoqi, it would be endless.
Chu Yan giggled before saying, "Nothing much. I just want to fight you."
"?" Lu Benwei's face was full of question marks.
Chu Yan said the most ruthless words in the calmest tone.
"Sorry, I'm not free!" Lu Benwei refused decisively after coming back to his senses.
With that, Lu Benwei walked past Chu Yan. Who would want to fight you?
At this moment, three boys in the exclusive uniforms of the sophomore year at Zhejiang Hunter University surrounded them. A senior with slicked-back hair walked up to them.
Chu Yan originally did not want to bother with this group of people, but these three people surrounded her.
"Seniors, please move aside," Chu Yan said calmly.
The senior was unwilling to compromise. "Junior, I just want to add you on WeChat. Nothing malicious."
As soon as he said that, the senior froze.
The beautiful junior in front of him looked at him with disdain. Her expression seemed to be saying, "Are you a clown invited by a monkey?"
It was not that she was confident. It was normal for a beautiful and strong girl to be a little arrogant.
Who would believe you if you came all the way here to add me to WeChat and said that you were extremely innocent and had no ill intentions?
Lu Benwei suddenly had a bad feeling. Could this girl be diverting the hatred like before? He subconsciously quickened his pace.
"Hey, annoying fellow!"
Chu Yan pushed the three of them away and ran straight to Lu Benwei.
The three sophomores were all stunned.
"Boss, does this count as stealing your girl in public?" one of the three, a chubby boy, spoke.
The senior smacked the chubby boy hard on the head. "No shit. Get after him."
However, after taking a few steps, they suddenly stopped. Their legs felt as if they were tied to a ten-thousand-pound boulder. The three of them felt a chill run down their spines and their hair stood on end.
Chu Yan turned around with a faint smile, but her eyes were filled with endless killing intent. It was like Medusa's stare.
"Boss, what kind of skill is this? It's released unknowingly and the three of us can't break free."
The three of them tried their best, but they could not move. Among them, the chubby boy asked while breathing heavily.
The senior's heart was pounding. "Who am I supposed to ask? The skill has to end now."
However, Lu Benwei did not notice the situation here. Lu Benwei's face was full of frustration. "Miss Chu Yan, what do you want?"
"I told you, I just want to fight you," Chu Yan said with her hands on her hips.
"I'm busy! I'm going to the store to buy enhancement stones now!"
Lu Benwei started to decline.
"How much are you buying?"
"Why do you care?"
Chu Yan said, "Will you be able to fight me as long as I give you the enhancement stones?"
"Are you insulting me?"
"Even if you give me a van full of enhancement stones, I won't bend my back for five kilograms of rice!" Lu Benwei said proudly.
'You're a freshman like me. Other than the difference in resources, how high can your points be? At most, you have 30 enhancement stones. Who are you to look down on me?'
Yet reality slapped him mercilessly.
Crash!
Chu Yan waved her hand and threw out 500 enhancement stones!
Lu Benwei winced.
The three sophomores were also shocked.
500 enhancement stones amount to one million hunter coins!
Obviously, so many hunter coins could not be exchanged for points. However, the price of the enhancement stones outside was ten times that of in school!
One enhancement stone cost 20,000 gold coins! This scheming girl was a rich lady?
Shocking!
Petrified!
Incredible!
Amazing!
Lu Benwei immediately lowered his stance. "Alright! I promise you!"
Chu Yan rolled her eyes at him. "Annoying fellow, didn't you say that nothing can bribe you?!"
Lu Benwei chuckled. "Huh? Did I just say that?"
Chu Yan gave him a disdainful look. Then, she said, "Forget it. I'll spare your life for now."
"Let's do it three days from now. I'll let you familiarize yourself with the powerful weapon first."
Lu Benwei was stunned. This little rich woman even knew that he had obtained a peerless weapon.
Lu Benwei wanted to question her, but when he came back to his senses, he realized that Chu Yan was hopping toward the setting sun.
The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the lines on her body very clearly. Her high ponytail swayed back and forth.
This was the first time Lu Benwei felt the aura of youth since he had transmigrated.
Chapter 40
The God of Fire, Lu Benwei Out of Control
Lu Benwei drooled as he happily pocketed the 500 enhancement stones.
500 enhancement stones, 1 million hunter coins! It was equivalent to throwing money at Lu Benwei.
Awesome!
What made Lu Benwei even happier was that the Freshmen Tournament would be held in three days. Even without these enhancement stones, Lu Benwei would still fight Chu Yan one-on-one.
"The feeling of freeloading is awesome!" Lu Benwei was practically drooling. "I'll have to cozy up to this little rich lady from now on."
With so many enhancement stones, there was no need for him to go to the school store.
"By the way, I heard from Mr. Liu that a freak also wants to obtain the Ancient Sword of Clarity. The Freshmen Tournament is about to begin. If they come looking for us, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
Lu Benwei glanced at the time and thought that Liu Yi should not have gotten off work at this time. He might as well take this opportunity to find out more about the freak, just in case.
…
Lu Benwei came to the door of Liu Yi's office. The light was on and the door ajar, but it was empty.
"Where is he? Did he go to pee?"
Lu Benwei was quite familiar with Liu Yi and sat directly in his office chair. Liu Yi's office was not big, but it was filled with tattered books.
Lu Benwei fiddled with a machine on the table and suddenly saw a stack of documents in the upper right corner. "Files of Genius Students of the Dragon Country's Nine Great Hunter Universities" were printed on it.
"It can't be in this file, is it?"
Lu Benwei sat up straight and took the stack of papers in his hands. However, Lu Benwei dispelled this idea as soon as he opened the first page.
The title page of the information read: "This information was updated in the 21st batch."
Lu Benwei belonged to the 22nd batch this year, so he was naturally not included. Even so, he had a great deal of interest in leafing through them. That three-talent, level 55 peerless genius was very likely to appear in this file.
The first was a young girl with twin talents. She is currently a senior at Hudan Hunter University.
Level 49. Talent was to increase the damage of ice-type skills by 30 percent, and could turn water into ice.
"What a monster!" Lu Benwei murmured in admiration and turned the pages. 𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎
The next few pages were all about the deeds of the girl with double talent. For example, she obtained first place in the Freshmen Tournament and participated in solving the monster tide incident in Liangguang Province…
The second was from Huaqing Hunter University. He was a warrior and was born with three talents.
The third…
As he flipped through the pages, Lu Benwei made a small discovery. Zhejiang Hunter University's talent gap had indeed reached a serious level.
Apart from Zhejiang Hunter University, all the hunter universities had taken turns to appear.
The file was very thick. Lu Benwei flipped to the fiftieth one before finally finding a genius student from Zhejiang Hunter University. It happened to be Lu Benwei's target.
[Zhou Qingfeng's household registration: School of Guangdong City, Dongguan Province: Zhejiang Hunter University]
[Level: 50 (until March 22)]
[Talent: Source (experience gain speed increased by 30 percent), Metal Master (metal equipment increase attributes by 100 percent), Light of the Blade (weapon increases attack power by 100 percent)]
[Class: Judgement Paladin (knight second stage Class Advancement)]
"Hiss." Lu Benwei gasped when he saw this.
Zhou Qingfeng was indeed a monster. His talent, Source explained the speed at which he leveled up like an animal. However, the remaining two talents were both representatives of the ultimate attack.
Metal equipment increased attributes by 100 percent, and weapons increased attack power by 100 percent! When fused, its attack power could increase by at least 150 percent!
"I was wondering why this guy was so obsessed with the Ancient Sword of Clarity."
Lu Benwei pondered this.
"As long as I cultivate the Ancient Sword of Clarity to black grade, all my attributes can be increased to 200 times! According to his current level, it's entirely possible for him to exceed level 60 with the black-grade Ancient Sword of Clarity!
"Experts with three talents are so terrifying!"
After that, there were Zhou Qingfeng's comments and life stories.
Lu Benwei did not want to read further. The evaluation and deeds of such a person would definitely not be finished even after three days and three nights.
"There's always someone better!"
Lu Benwei let out a sigh and closed the file. Lu Benwei was in no mood to continue reading.
At this moment, a strange wind blew from the window, blowing the papers on Liu Yi's table into the sky.
Crash! Even the stack of documents flipped with the wind.
"Eh? Ziling?"
The stack of information happened to be Lu Ziling's information. Curious, Lu Benwei leaned over and looked.
[Lu Ziling's household register: The school under the Hai Province's Green Spirit City: Yanjing Hunter University]
[Level: 32 (until June 22)]
[Talent: Divine Fire (fire attribute damage increased by 300 percent)]
[Class: Flame Girl (hidden class)]
"Ziling is a hidden class. This talent is awesome! It can increase fire attribute damage by 300 percent!" Lu Benwei spoke with great joy. As soon as he finished speaking, a sense of defeat rose in his heart.
"You're dazzling in any world. How wonderful! But in this life, I won't have to fight to keep up with you."
Lu Benwei signed from the bottom of his heart.
As he prepared to flip to the "evaluation" page, Lu Benwei's eyelids fluttered and his heart beat in panic.
"What's going on?"
[Comment: Although she only has one talent, her talent is too abnormal, so it's listed in the genius student file. Currently, Lu Ziling has successfully changed her class to Flame Girl. Her growth speed is very fast, and she's about to change her class to Witch. Her talent has grown to fire attribute damage by 500 percent. As for the third-stage Class Advancement at level 80: Skyfire Saintess… Her potential is too terrifying!]
The middle paragraph had been erased.
Lu Benwei was still puzzled, but when he flipped to the next page, his pupils constantly dilated!
[Unfortunately, ever since the hunter was born, no one has been able to withstand the backlash of the divine fire. It's very likely that they will disappear before the age of 30. Therefore, they are inferior to other geniuses!]
Boom! Lu Benwei exploded. Thunderclouds seemed to roll over his head.
His pupils were first filled with disbelief. When the capillaries in his pupils were filled with blood, an extremely cold chill spread from his fingertips to his entire body.
"That's impossible!"
Various memories from his previous life surfaced. Playing with Lu Ziling, growing up with Lu Ziling, confessing to Lu Ziling…
Lu Benwei flipped through Lu Ziling's information like a madman.
There were only a few thousand words, but there were no words to dispel the backlash of the divine fire.
However, at this moment, Liu Yi returned.
Lu Benwei's eyes were red with anger. He pounced on Liu Yi and grabbed his collar. "Tell me this is fake! Hurry up and tell me it's fake!"
Each one was louder than the last, and more hoarse.
Liu Yi looked helplessly at Lu Benwei and sighed.
Chapter 41
Boom!
Lu Benwei's chest seemed to have been hit hard. He stumbled backward and only stopped when he hit the wall.
He felt weak all over. He leaned against the wall and slowly sat on the ground.
Liu Yi's eyes were filled with helplessness and heartache. He reached out his hands, wanting to comfort him. Suddenly, he was stunned.
Lu Benwei's temperament was decadent, revealing a bit of maturity.
"Is there a way?"
Lu Benwei raised his head, his eyes cold and determined.
"Is there a way?" He repeated.
Liu Yi heaved a long sigh. "Yes, but that possibility is akin to impossible."
The voice was helpless, but it was reality.
"A god?"
Lu Benwei suddenly sneered. 'Since you're a god, I'll kill a god! If you want me to go to hell, I'll go to heaven and earth and turn this world upside down!'
Liu Yi said, "Your adopted sister suffered from the backlash of the divine flames. Her physical body must be tempered by the flames of hellish insanity to neutralize the divine flames in her body. Only then can her life be saved. Of course, they're just legends."
After Liu Yi finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders.
Lu Benwei's sneer became louder. After he stopped laughing, he asked again, "Where?"
Liu Yi shook his head.
Lu Benwei already knew the answer. If the fire of the deranged hell could be found so easily, then the problem of the divine fire's backlash should have been resolved long ago.
Lu Ziling's parents would not have died young, right?
Lu Benwei's eyes, which had finally brightened, dimmed again. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
At this moment, Liu Yi said softly, "Don't be discouraged. You can try your luck at the library. However…"
"However, what?"
"Information like the fire of the deranged hell must be in a top-secret area of the library. I need to get top-secret access…"
Liu Yi shrugged his shoulders halfway through his sentence.
"You're also aware that the principal has ordered the top-secret access that originally belonged to you to be removed."
A faint light flashed in Lu Benwei's eyes. "Okay, that's enough. I'll go find the principal!
Liu Yi let out a long sigh and made way for Lu Benwei.
…
Lu Benwei used his fastest speed to go to principal Chen Yuan's office.
On the way, he took out his phone and made a call home.
"Du du du …"
Lu Benwei asked immediately after the call, "Mom, where's Ziling?"
Lu Benwei's mother's voice was heard.
"Your sister has already returned to school. Seriously, it's been so long since school started and you didn't even call home."
Lu Benwei immediately changed the topic. "Mom, let's not talk about this first. How did you adopt Ziling?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Mama Lu said, "Your Uncle Yan, your Aunt Xizhi, and your parents are all colleagues."
Uncle Yan and Aunt Xizhi were Lu Ziling's biological parents.
They had retired from the front lines and were arranged to work together in the unit where Mr. and Mrs. Lu worked.
The couple had a daughter, Lu Ziling.
The two workstations were close to each other, and they often went out together to drink when they had nothing to do.
What was more coincidental was that the ladies of the two families got pregnant one after the other.
Lu Ziling and Lu Benwei were born one after another, and the two families got closer.
After that, when Lu Ziling was ten years old, she played at Lu Benwei's house.
That was when Lu Ziling's parents had an accident. Lu Benwei guessed that the two elders might have suffered a backlash from the divine fire and died.
"Mom, did Uncle Yan and Aunt Xizhi leave anything for Ziling?"
"No, it was all burned down by a big fire."
Hearing his mother's words, Lu Benwei was silent. It seemed that his parents did not know about the divine fire at all.
"By the way, Son, I have good news for you. Your sister has successfully changed her class!"
Lu Benwei's face changed and Liu Yi's voice echoed in his ears.
"If Lu Ziling changes her class from second-stage flame girl to a witch, then the backlash of the divine fire will be accelerated."
Lu Benwei sped up and hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll call you next time. I have something to do now!"
"Son, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lu Benwei's mother's voice stopped abruptly.
Lu Benwei walked faster toward Chen Yuan's office.
He did not dare to tell his parents that Lu Ziling was suffering from the curse of the gods!
They were just fellow civil servants, so it was better for Lu Benwei to keep it in his heart.
He soon arrived at Chen Yuan's office. Rather than an office, it was more like a messy warehouse.
Chen Yuan was hiding in a messy pile of junk as if he was organizing something.
Lu Benwei went straight to the point. "Principal, can I borrow the key to the library's top-secret area? "
Chen Yuan was still sorting out his stuff.
"Mr. Principal!"
Chen Yuan's hands stopped moving. "Not here?! Don't tell me it's at home?"
As he said that, he moved a paper box down on the floor.
The veins on Lu Benwei's face slightly bulged.
"Mr. Principal, I think you know why I'm here. I just want to save people."
"I've finally found it," Chen Yuan mumbled to himself as he pulled out a stack of papers.
Lu Benwei,"…"
He wanted to curse, but he had to lower his voice when he thought of how he needed Chen Yuan's help.
Chen Yuan sat down and held the stack of papers. "Lu Benwei, a genius student at Yanjing Hunter University, gifted in the divine fire, the son of Lu Ziling's foster parents.
"Liu Yi is really too much. Why didn't he tell me earlier that you have this relationship? I won't go as far as to give you A-rank resources," Chen Yuan said in embarrassment.
"Mr. Principal, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Yuan suppressed his anger. "It's nothing. I just want to apologize for what I did to you earlier."
Chen Yuan looked at Lu Benwei with a fake smile, completely lacking the image of a principal.
"Before, I simply thought that you were just a lucky boy who got first place in the examination. That's why I took back the resources Liu Yi promised you. I didn't expect you to have such a good performance in the martial arts assessment."
"All-attribute enhancement skill with no backlash effect for a group, suspected to be a talent that increases experience gain speed, a small damage skill with a large area, an enhancement skill that increases attack power by 100%, full-body defensive shield, throwing defensive shield… Hehe."
Chen Yuan was always like this in private. Sloppy, frivolous, and without any dignity. To a certain extent, he was the same as Liu Yi.
However, when he became serious, his entire temperament was as majestic as a mountain.
He solemnly said, "Hai province Hunter Association and the martial arts education bureau's evaluation of you – the star that will change the situation of the battlefield in the future! I was too conceited, I apologize to you!"
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed and he apologized to Lu Benwei.
"But I can't agree to your request."
Lu benwei was stunned. What was going on? A slap and a sweet date?
'You treated me like air and humiliated me. Now that you finally gave me hope, you're telling me that I can't?'
Chapter 42
Lu Benwei suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Mr. Principal, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Yuan's expression did not change. "Lu Benwei, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just a top-secret area of the library. The access isn't for students, even if you're from the Hunter Special Combat Class.
"If I made this promise today because you wanted to save your adopted sister, and someone wanted to save his father, mother, and relatives the next day, what would you do? If we can access it just to save people, what should we do when someone suggests that he wants to improve his strength?"
Chen Yuan sighed. "The top-secret area isn't as simple as having legendary skill scrolls! There are many books there. They contain some of the secrets that have happened in the Dragon Kingdom since the age of the hunters. It's like Pandora's Box." 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Lu Benwei clenched his fists and asked, "How can I enter it?"
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed. "It's simple. Let me see your value. For example, you're the top student of this year's freshmen and your future far exceeds all the previous freshmen."
"What do you mean?" Lu Benwei was stunned.
Chen Yuan held a document in his hand and said, "Just a moment ago, the new rules for the freshmen tournament were announced. The freshmen tournament will follow the rules of the point-accumulation speed competition and point-accumulation elimination competition.
"The process is more brutal than ever. The point-based speed competition is to see who can kill monsters, while the point-based elimination competition is to see who can eliminate more freshmen. As long as you have the ability, the freshmen competition that was supposed to last three days can end in one day."
Chen Yuan added, "However, there are many books in the top-secret area of the library. Whether or not we can find information about the fire of hell depends entirely on our luck."
Lu Benwei's clenched fists loosened, and his eyes gradually became determined.
…
That night, the entire school was notified that the freshmen competition that would be held three days later would be held in advance on the next day.
Other than Lu Benwei, the new students of Zhejiang Hunter University were all howling.
"What's going on? I was still planning to enhance my equipment tomorrow and use it three days later."
"According to the school's explanation, to deepen the teaching reform and better determine the number one freshman this year, it has been brought forward to tomorrow."
"In that case, the school wants to take us by surprise so that they can better test our strength when we're not prepared?"
"Protest! Even if that's the case, you can't ignore us freshmen, right?"
However, the protest was overruled.
The next day, the freshmen competition was held.
More than 900 new students were gathered on the field that could accommodate 10,000 people.
Chen Yuan stood in the middle of the platform, looking impressive and extraordinary.
"I know that this year's freshmen competition has caused a lot of complaints from the students, making me look like I've committed a heinous crime."
Chen Yuan suddenly laughed. "Everyone, please don't panic. Let me finish talking about the rewards. It's not too late to curse then. The first place in the freshmen tournament will be rewarded with a set of purple-grade equipment, three epic-grade skill scrolls, and academic credits.
"The prize for second place is an epic-level skill scroll and academic credits!"
At this point, no one in the school was listening.
"A set of purple equipment and three epic skill scrolls."
"Even SS-rank resources don't get this kind of treatment, right?"
Chen Yuan laughed and said, "Just as you all have expected, the first place in this year's freshmen competition will receive an unprecedented SSS-rank resource!"
The moment he said that, most of the freshmen were gasping for air.
To restore the glory of Zhejiang Hunter University, the school was really giving it its all!
Then, here came the problem. Who would be the top freshman?
Mo Tianyu from the Hunter Special Combat Class?
Was it Chu Yan, the beautiful girl who had obtained s-level resources?
Or was it the unprecedented top student of the magician class, Lu Benwei?
The answer would only be known after the competition.
Then, Chen Yuan announced the rules of the competition, "In this competition, you'll be divided into two groups A and B, and you'll go through two stages together.
"The first stage is the speed competition. The two groups will hunt monsters in two level 20 secret realms. Accumulate 10,000 points and advance to the second stage of the elimination round."
As soon as this rule was announced, most of the new students present sucked in a breath of cold air.
"F*ck, a level 20 secret realm?"
"F*ck, the level 10 secret realm in the martial arts assessment already exhausted me, and now I've reached level 20."
"Isn't the school afraid that someone will die from this?"
However, what made their scalps tingle even more was the point-based knockout competition that followed.
In the point-based elimination round, if no one was eliminated, they would accumulate 100 points. The person with the highest points in Groups A and B would enter the final round.
"Whoever came up with this rule, I curse you for having a son without an anus!"
"Even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to do this!"
Chen Yuan, who was on the rostrum, heard the curses coming from below and laughed coldly.
He looked at Lu Benwei.
"I set this rule especially for you. Don't let me down."
…
The first stage was about to begin!
Lu Benwei and Mo Tianyu were enemies on a narrow road. He and the nine students from the Hunter Special Combat Class were all in Group B.
In Group A were Chu Yan, Zhao Xiaoqi, and Lin Feng.
The two invigilators flew over. The two of them waved their hands, and the two-dimensional passages opened up!
Lu Benwei could not wait any longer.
Just as he was about to step in, Liu Yi suddenly called out to him.
"Lu Benwei, stop!"
Lu Benwei said, "Mr. Liu, I'm in a hurry. Let's talk later!"
Liu Yi's face turned red with anxiety. "I gave you a treasure. Why are you still angry with me? Alright, I won't waste my breath.
"I made a bet yesterday and won five epic skill scrolls. I took a look and one of them is suitable for you!"
Then, he stuffed a purple scroll into Lu Benwei's hand.
Lu Benwei did not rush to open it. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"
"Go, go, everyone's almost inside."
Lu Benwei did not waste any more time and directly entered the level 20 secret realm.
After a burst of dazzling light, Lu Benwei appeared on the bank of a river.
"What skill did Mr. Liu give me?"
Lu Benwei opened it and the information about the epic skill instantly drilled into his mind.
[Lightning Speed (all-level speed enhancing skill)]
[Effect: speed increased by 20 percent. Can be stacked multiple times, up to five times. Duration of 5 minutes. Cooldown time: 10 minutes. Duration shortened by 30 seconds after each stack.]
"Aww, Mr. Lin!"
Lu Benwei's eyes were wet.
This speed increase was only 20 percent, but it could be stacked five times, and the speed increase could reach 100%! It was comparable to a legendary skill!
Mr. Liu's expectations of him were obvious!
Lu Benwei put away Lightning Speed.
No matter what, his goal had always been the first place in this competition!
Chapter 43
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a speed-enhancing skill. The system has rewarded you with one-click speed support!]
[One-click speed support. After use, it can increase the user's speed by 10 times. There are also skills such as passing through walls and shrinking the ground to an inch.]
'I'm overjoyed!'
Lu Benwei once again triggered the system's reward condition.
In comparison, Lightning Speed was like a candle. However, thanks to it, Lu Benwei triggered the system reward.
"Roar!"
Behind Lu Benwei, the roar of a monster suddenly sounded.
It was a level 15 vicious monster, the Wasteland Battle Wolf!
Lu Benwei laughed. 'Good, I'll test the waters with you!'
Lightning Speed was released!
Lu Benwei's entire body felt lighter. However, this was not enough!
Speed Reduction Support was activated!
Lu Benwei suddenly felt like the whole world had slowed down. The birds gliding in the sky at high speed and the fish swimming quickly in the river were all captured by Lu Benwei.
Even the Wasteland Battle Wolf that was about to pounce and bite him was like an old-fashioned animation, broadcasting frame by frame to him.
Lu Benwei smiled slyly and shifted part of the force to his legs.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Benwei shot out like a cannonball. His speed was so fast that he left afterimages on the spot.
He took out the Heavenly Dog Sword!
Like a flash of lightning, it swept across the neck of the Wasteland Battle Wolf. Before the blood spurted out, Lu Benwei had already put away the sword.
'It's that fast? Looks like it's not impossible to get first place today!'
Lu Benwei faintly spat out a breath of turbid air and turned his eyes to the depths of the forest.
At the same time, on the other side of the secret realm.
After Mo Tianyu killed a monster, he looked at the points board in the sky proudly.
[Group B Points Ranking]
[1. Mo Tianyu: 500 points!]
[2. Song Wide: 450 points!]
…
'Haha, I'll gladly accept first place in Group B!'
"Boss, I've seen it. The overall strength of Group A isn't as good as you. Only that freshman called Chu Yan is good. The rest aren't even worthy of carrying our shoes!"
One of the members of the Hunter Special Combat Class flattered.
As for Lu Benwei, he's a magician. How can he fight without a team?'
"In this year's freshmen competition, no ordinary students can match up to us."
"The champion will be the Hunter Special Combat Class!"
After that, the few of them burst into laughter.
However, Mo Tianyu's ranking suddenly dropped. He was replaced by Lu Benwei.
[Group B Points Ranking
[1. Lu Benwei: 550 points!]
[2. Mo Tianyu: 500 points!]
…
All the members of the Hunter Special Combat Class, "?"
"This kid, who did he form a team with?" Mo Tianyu asked coldly.
The feeling of being stepped on by Lu Benwei was unpleasant.
"I don't know. Besides his ranking on the leaderboard, there's basically no change."
The veins on Ma Tianyu's forehead popped out.
"Could it be that Lu Benwei is doing this by himself?"
While Mo Tianyu was discussing, Lu Benwei used Lightning Speed and One-Click Skill Support to kill another five or six monsters.
All the members of the Hunter Special Combat Class watched as Lu Benwei's points jumped to 1,000!
"This kid, is he cheating?"
"This doesn't make sense. How could a magician have such terrifying combat power?"
Mo Tianyu's expression was dark as he listened to his teammates' exclamations.
"That's enough, all of you! Give me some encouragement. We can't be defeated by that magician!"
Mo Tianyu gave the order and advanced into the depths of the forest.
However, no one could compare to Lu Benwei's speed and madness!
In Group B's secret realm, everyone was surprised by Lu Benwei's points-gaining speed. 𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮
After that, everyone's scalps went numb.
[Group B Points Ranking]
[1. Lu Benwei: 4,320 points!]
[2. Mo Tianyu: 900 points!]
The gap between him and the second place was like a wide river.
In the end, everyone was numb to it. They just quietly looked at Lu Benwei, silently acting cool.
Only Ma Tianyu's eyes were about to pop out.
When Lu Benwei reached 10,000 points first, Mo Tianyu could not hold it in anymore.
"Lu Benwei, this b*stard, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
"Boss, don't be anxious. No matter how fast Lu Benwei is, he'll have to wait until we reach 10,000 points!" That person consoled me.
Then, his black eyes rolled.
"Boss, why don't we do this?" He asked everyone to come closer and whispered his thoughts.
Mo Tianyu's brows relaxed.
The Hunter Special Combat Class came up with a plan.
The second stage was a point-based knockout competition. Each person eliminated would accumulate 100 points. It seemed simple, but it had a loophole.
No matter how many points you accumulated, you would be eliminated if you lost one round.
Lu Benwei was the first to enter the second stage and wanted to successfully advance to the final.
It was very likely that everyone in Group B would have to be eliminated to advance.
Therefore, in this match, the later the first stage ended, the more popular it was.
Of course, one must have the confidence to defeat the person with the highest points. However, did Lu Benwei care about this? He just wanted to be faster, faster, faster!
As a matter of fact, after he had accumulated 10,000 points, he did not leave Group B's secret realm.
"Swish!"
Lu Benwei flashed and cut off all four limbs of a level 20 monster.
This was the sound of the monster falling heavily to the ground and letting out a weak roar.
"Why did you help me?"
Behind Lu Benwei was a good-looking girl with big eyes.
"Cut the crap!"
"Quickly end it!" Lu Benwei said coldly.
He also knew about the loopholes in the rules of the competition.
As long as he was not eliminated, he would challenge everyone in Group B. However, he did not care about this because he was in a hurry!
"You're going to help me level up?"
The pretty girl with big eyes was a knight who had just changed her class. Among the new students, she was ranked in the 900s.
Their strength was not good, and it was very difficult to deal with level 15 or so fierce monsters, not to mention a level 20 vicious beast.
"Why are you helping me?" The big-eyed girl blinked her big eyes, looking pitiful. Didn't you already get 10,000 points?"
As the number one freshman, Lu Benwei's name was naturally well-known.
Lu Benwei did not respond and disappeared.
"This is really strange!" the big-eyed girl muttered, "So cold and arrogant. I love it so much!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Benwei brought over a level 19 monster. It was on the verge of death, and blood kept spurting out of its mouth and nose.
The big-eyed girl was shocked. "Are you helping me level up?"
"What else?" Lu Benwei did not have time to pay attention to her and disappeared again.
The big-eyed girl's heart trembled. 'Why is he helping me? Could it be that he likes me?'
When the big-eyed girl thought of this, both her cheeks suddenly turned red.
…
After a long time, Lu Benwei helped the big-eyed girl to accumulate 10,000 points.
"I won't agree to date you just because you helped me advance," the big-eyed girl lowered her head and put her hands in front of her body as she said shyly.
'The number one freshman helps me hunt monsters and enter the elimination round. If someone didn't like me, would they do this for no reason? I don't know why Lu Benwei likes me. But did one need a reason to like someone? Helping me to the next round is enough to prove that he likes me."
"You've misunderstood. I just think that the second place is too slow to enter the elimination round. But the second place belongs to the Hunter Special Combat Class. I don't want to help him!" Lu Benwei said with a blank expression.
Chapter 44
The big-eyed girl, "? "
In the next second, her big eyes were filled with contempt. Her previous impression of Lu Benwei instantly changed.
"Bah!
"Scumbag!"
…
The unsightly words continued to come out of her mouth even after Lu Benwei eliminated her.
Lu Benwei shook his head with a bitter smile and continued to look for the next victim.
Heavenly Dog Sword was now at S-rank.
The enhancement effect had already reached 80 percent and the cooldown time had also been greatly reduced. The continuous enhancement effect made Lu Benwei feel no fatigue at all.
The second victim, the third victim, and subsequently the seventh victim, fell one after another. After everyone was dealt with by Lu Benwei, they all called him an "animal".
Lu Benwei smiled. At present, he had taken care of almost everyone in Group B, but there was no trace of fatigue on his face.
"Lu Benwei, I really didn't expect that you would throw away your life for the sake of being the number one freshman."
Mo Tianyu's voice came from behind Lu Benwei. His classmates had been killed by Lu Benwei.
Of course, they planned to exhaust Lu Benwei as much as possible.
In the end, Mo Tianyu had to fight the exhausted Lu Benwei.
"Why are you so desperate? You're just a piece of trash. Even if you get first place in the freshmen tournament, the school won't give you a lot of resources!"
Mo Tianyu's sneer became even more presumptuous.
"It's none of your business!" Lu Benwei replied coldly.
He was really annoyed by such inexplicable people.
'You have nothing to do with me. You go your way and I'll go my way. Why do you have to provoke me? Since you can't hide, then disappear from my sight forever!'
Eye of Insight was activated.
Mo Tianyu's talent information was revealed.
[Name: Mo Tianyu]
[Level: 23]
[Class: Mad Shark (hidden class)]
[Talent: Berserker Shark (attack increases by 10 percent for every five percent decrease in HP) Berserker Shark hunter (gains shark characteristic, damage increases by five percent in blood loss state)]
One had to admit that Mo Tianyu's talent was indeed shocking! As expected of the number one of the Hunter Special Combat Class!
It was because of this that Mo Tianyu was very conceited. He would not allow anyone to steal his limelight.
As early as the day Lu Benwei became the top martial artist as a magician, it was the beginning of a feud!
Yesterday, Lu Benwei took away a peerless weapon from the weapons pavilion and once again stepped on his head.
Lu Benwei had become a thorn in his side!
Mo Tianyu said coldly, "Lu Benwei, I'm the number one freshman!"
With that, his skin turned blue-gray, and light patterns interwoven into fine scales. Under the sunlight, Mo Tianyu's sharp scales opened and closed, making him look extremely terrifying.
Mo Tianyu laughed coldly. "You, a useless level-16 magician, can't escape from my strangulation!"
"Level 16? Who told you I'm level 16?" Lu Benwei said as he cast Heavenly Dog's Wrath!
Mo Tianyu was not surprised at all.
'When school started, you were level 16. After a month, you'll only be level 18 at most.'
He was level 23! In this world, levels are proof of strength! Of course, Mo Tianyu did not let his guard down.
Lu Benwei's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.
"Ocean's Power!" Mo Tianyu roared. His blue-gray skin turned into the deep blue of the ocean.
The dense scales were nourished by the "sea water" and gradually expanded.
[Defense +50 percent!]
[Attack power +50 percent!]
Lu Benwei noticed this information through the Eye of Insight and his mouth curved up.
"Just this?"
In the next second, Heavenly Dog's Blade and Heavenly Dog's Wrath were released!
Lu Benwei's qi surged, and his body emitted an aura like a sea storm!
Mo Tianyu was shocked by Lu Benwei's skill. "A level-16 skill's amplification effect has already reached such a level? Unfortunately, level 16 is too far away from me!"
Mo Tianyu teased.
"Level 16? How did you know I was level 16?"
Lu Benwei was very surprised.
He was a man with an x10 increase in skill. Along the way, he had helped people eliminate so many monsters, and the x10 experience had been triggered many times! Lu Benwei's current level was 25!
Lu Benwei took out the Ancient Sword of Clarity. After devouring the Heavenly Dog's Sword, the Ancient Sword of Clarity had reached blue rank, and its attributes had increased by three times!
Lu Benwei's own attributes had increased by a level!
Mo Tianyu was shocked. 'This is impossible!'
There was only one thought in his mind. 'Abnormal!'
Lu Benwei lightly tapped his foot and released Lightning Speed! The afterimages formed a straight line and Lu Benwei attacked Mo Tianyu.
Mo Tianyu's eyes caught this information, but his brain could not react.
When he came back to his senses, the Ancient Sword of Clarity was already at his throat.
"I lost?" Mo Tianyu felt a chill down his spine.
There was no chance to resist at all, and Lu Benwei had already ended the battle.
Shocking!
Terrifying! 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝓂
It was unbelievable!
Mo Tianyu was in a daze, but Lu Benwei had already left the secret realm.
Mo Tianyu was stunned on the spot, and his body slowly slid down.
…
Lu Benwei heard a familiar voice as soon as he came out of the secret realm.
Chu Yan sat on the edge of the ring.
The bubble gum in her mouth was blown into a small bubble, and her legs wrapped in white cotton stockings swayed back and forth. She was wearing square leather shoes that sparkled under the sun.
"Tsk! Annoying fellow, did you win or get eliminated?" Chu Yan asked, tilting her head.
Lu Benwei's tense nerves finally relaxed. "Of course, we won."
"If I'm not wrong, you're the one I'm going to face next, right?"
"Of course!"
Lu Benwei was more or less surprised. He had been worried that Group A's speed would be much slower than his. He did not expect that the winner of Group A, Chu Yan, would be faster than him!
"Why are you so fast?"
"I did what you did!" Chu Yan rolled her eyes at him.
Lu Benwei's expression became strange. He was in a hurry to end the match because he wanted to enter the top-secret area of the library.
However, what was Chu Yan doing? Was she also in a hurry?
"Alright, cut the crap. I know you're in a hurry!" he said.
Chu Yan stood up and stretched out her hand, signaling Lu Benwei to get on the ring.
At this time, the school's senior management could not wait.
"Haha, this year's first and second place for the freshmen are truly monstrous!"
"I wonder who's more freakish among these two students?"
They sat in the audience and laughed.
"One of them challenged the entire Group B on his own!"
"The other one is even more brutal. They generously used fireballs!"
"Principal, we finally found a treasure this year."
"There's hope for the revival of Zhejiang Hunter University!"
Chen Yuan smiled faintly and put his feet on the back of the chair in front of him. "Alright, anyone wants to make a bet with me? Let's bet on who will get first place between these two monsters."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan's panicked voice suddenly came from the center of the ring.
"Annoying fellow, what's wrong with you?"
Everyone suddenly came back to their senses.
In the middle of the ring, Lu Benwei was lying on the ground, his eyes were dazed, his lips were white, his face was pale, and his chest was rising and falling violently.
Chapter 45
11 p.m., Zhejiang Hunter University Infirmary.
Lu Benwei had already woken up. The nurse told him that the reason he collapsed was because he had worked too hard, which led to physical exhaustion. He would be fine after he had gotten more rest.
The freshmen competition ended with Lu Benwei's forfeit.
First place: Chu Yan.
Second place: Lu Benwei.
This result was obviously not what Lu Benwei wanted. He had an agreement with Chen Yuan. If he won first place, the school would make an exception and give him access to the top-secret area of the library.
However, an accident happened.
"F*ck!"
He punched the wall so hard that even the ceiling lamp shook a little. He did not get first place in the freshmen tournament so naturally, the school would not allow him to obtain top-secret access.
"Wait! I have One-Click Speed Support!
Lu Benwei was overjoyed. He remembered that the system had once said that One-Click Speed Support could also pass through walls!
There was no way out in the mountains and rivers, but there was a ray of hope in the dark.
Lu Benwei did not say anything and immediately jumped out of the bed.
It was 11:30 p.m.!
Lu Benwei hid in the bushes in front of the library building and activated One-Click Speed Support.
The library of Zhejiang Hunter University was closed at 10 p.m. There was no one there.
"Should I just walk in?" Lu Benwei muttered as he faced a wall.
The system had never lied to him. However, it was a little awkward for him to walk through the wall. What if he got stuck inside?
Lu Benwei's thoughts were quickly extinguished. This idea was too absurd.
12 a.m.
The librarian whistled, pulled down the door of the library, and locked it. After doing all this, he even chanted a spell, then whistled and went home.
Lu Benwei appeared, facing a wall, took a deep breath, and braced himself to hit it.
Then, something unexpected happened. Lu Benwei felt like the wall had turned into water. It was cold and a little comfortable.
Lu Benwei sneaked into the library. The library's top-secret area was on the first underground floor.
If one wanted to enter, other than using the elevator to scan for permission, one could only enter through the fire escape. However, the fire escape was closed all year round, and the conditions to open it were very strict.
Lu Benwei effortlessly used Through the Wall to enter the fire escape. He was dressed in black, and on his head was a silk stocking he had bought from the store in the female dormitory area. His entire body was wrapped up tightly, leaving only his eyes and nose exposed.
After entering the top-secret area, Lu Benwei faced a new problem.
What was in front of him was just the tip of the iceberg. The millions of books and skill scrolls in the nine-story library on the ground were just a needle in the haystack.
The number of books in the top-secret area was as large as the number of stars in the sky.
In the center of the top-secret area, a secret silver globe was releasing gravity magic. Lu Benwei could swim in the "ocean of knowledge" with just a slight movement.
Lu Benwei first went to the "hunter talent" area.
He planned to start with the "hunter talent", and then continue to look through the "mysterious past", "travel notes", and "biography" sections.
The idea was good, but the reality was cruel.
Lu Benwei searched the books in these areas but could not find any information about the fire of hell.
"How long will it take to find what I want?"
Then, Lu Benwei hid.
He saw a person in front of him. Just like his outfit, that person was wrapped in black clothes and had a black silk stocking on his head.
"A thief?"
"What? Where's the thief?"
The voices of a man and a woman rang out one after another.
"Chu Yan?"
Lu Benwei was surprised to find that the person in front of him was Chu Yan.
"No, you've got the wrong person, annoying fellow," Chu Yan retorted.
With that, Chu Yan turned around and left.
Lu Benwei rolled his eyes at Chu Yan and grabbed her pigtails. "Come on, who else would call me an annoying fellow other than you?"
"By the way, why did you sneak in?" Lu Benwei asked again.
Chu Yan placed her hands on her hips and said arrogantly, "Who sneaked in? I came in fair and square, alright?"
Lu Benwei put on a look of disbelief, his eyes sizing up Chu Yan from head to toe.
Only then did Chu Yan remember what she was wearing, and her face turned red.
Then, she puffed up her chest. "Didn't you sneak in too? You still have the nerve to ask?"
Before she could finish, Lu Benwei covered her mouth.
"Shh! Don't say anything!"
The entire place instantly fell silent.
After a while, a deep voice came from the direction of the elevator.
"Abracadabra, open sesame!"
"Beep! Password correct, identity verification successful!" The mechanical voice of a girl sounded. "Welcome, Principal Chen Yuan!"
"Pfft!"
Chu Yan could not hold it in anymore. "The principal is so cute!"
Lu Benwei's face turned red with anxiety. "Shush, be quiet. If we're discovered, we won't have a good ending."
Chu Yan subconsciously covered her mouth.
"Come, let's hide there." Lu Benwei suggested as he pointed behind Chu Yan.
Chu Yan nodded, but when she turned around, she hit an iron pillar.
The crisp sound reverberated throughout the entire top-secret area.
Chu Yan was in so much pain that she wanted to cry, and Lu Benwei was trying hard to hold back his laughter.
This girl can hit a wall!
"Who, who's there?" Chen Yuan noticed the situation.
The light from the flashlight swept across, and Chen Yuan slowly walked over. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Although Lu Benwei and Chu Yan managed to hide in time, they were only a bookcase away from Chen Yuan. As long as Chen Yuan calmed down, he could feel their intense heartbeats.
Chen Yuan used the flashlight to scan the area.
The light beam shot through the gaps between the books, and Lu Benwei's forehead began to sweat.
Chu Yan, on the other hand, was calm. From time to time, she reached into Lu Benwei's clothes and scratched his itchy flesh.
Lu Benwei's lips were almost torn from biting himself, and the tormenting little demon laughed silently.
In the end, Chen Yuan left.
Lu Benwei let out a sigh of relief as he heard Chen Yuan's receding footsteps.
"Close sesame, Namo Amitabha!"
"Beep! Identity verification successful!" The artificial intelligence in the elevator sounded. "Principal Chen Yuan, you're welcome to come again next time."
"Next time, I hope you can do some rat-killing work."
Chen Yuan's voice seemed to point to something.
Lu Benwei came out with a solemn expression. 'It's obvious that the principal already knows of my existence. But why didn't he expose me?'
"Tsk! Annoying fellow, come and take a look!" Chu Yan shouted.
Lu Benwei followed them and found that there was a book left where they were.
The title of the book was the Kingdom of Giants!
Chapter 46
The book was already in tatters. Not only were the pages missing, but the four corners of the book were also charred.
Fortunately, the most important part, which was the mid-section of the book, was still intact.
Lu Benwei thought to himself, 'Did someone deliberately burn it and then save it?'
He was very curious and subconsciously flipped to the title page.
The title page introduced, "Northern Continent, Giant Kingdom, fire of hell"!
Lu Benwei's pupils instantly enlarged! He immediately began to read it seriously. Chu Yan also moved her little head over.
"Fire of hell burnt the world and lit up the path to the beginning of the hunter's era," Chu Yan muttered softly.
"The fire of hell…"
The words below were burned, so Lu Benwei had to turn the page.
"Only the flame giants of the Giant Kingdom can guard him, and only the stone heart altar can carry him. Even a god will suffer an eternal curse if they want to take away the source of the fire of hell!"
At this point, there was no more information on the fire of hell.
Lu Benwei's eyes lit up. This information was enough. His goal was the Giant Kingdom in the ice continent!
Chu Yan whispered, "I've heard of the legend of the Giant Kingdom. They seem to have existed even before the age of hunters.
"They're not monsters or humans, but one thing is certain. If you go there, they'll definitely stomp you into meat paste!"
"Even so, I still want to go," Lu Benwei said without hesitation.
"Alright." Chu Yan sighed.
She sat down at a table while Lu Benwei was still reading the book. Chu Yan tilted her head and looked at Lu Benwei seriously.
The library's dim but soft yellow light shone on one side of her face, making her face look red.
"Hey, annoying fellow. Why are you looking for the Giant Kingdom?" Chu Yan suddenly asked.
Lu Benwei turned a page of his book and said, "To save her!"
"Of course, I know you're going to save people. I'm asking you why you're willing to risk your life to go to such a dangerous place?" Chu Yan asked again.
Lu Benwei raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Because this person is very important to me, more important than anyone else!" His eyes were bright and as determined as the sun.
Chu Yan only responded with an "Oh" and lowered her head to play with the small ornaments on the table.
After a long time, she said, "This girl must be very beautiful, right?"
"Yup!" Lu Ziling's face immediately appeared in Lu Benwei's mind as he answered without thinking. 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝘮
After saying this, Lu Benwei felt strange. "How do you know it's a girl?" Lu Benwei asked again.
Chu Yan chuckled and said, "It's written all over your face, how can I not know?"
After a pause, she continued, "I really envy this girl!"
Lu Benwei frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes. "What are you envious of?"
Chu Yan sighed and continued, "What else can I be envious of? I'm envious of a girl who can make people go through fire and water and risk their lives. You're not like me. My father didn't dote on me, and my mother didn't love me."
"Father doesn't dote on you, and mother doesn't love you? Shouldn't a person like you be the young lady of a family?" Lu Benwei blurted out.
As soon as he finished speaking, he awkwardly shut his mouth. "I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking," he said after a while.
Chu Yan looked at Lu Benwei's embarrassed look and chuckled. "It's fine, I don't mind. My parents are very busy people. They left me alone in the countryside since I was young. Until I was eight years old, I only saw them a few times. I'm the only one holding a bowl of dumplings every New Year. I'm the only one celebrating it."
She looked at Lu Benwei and smiled lightly. "After that, my master took me away, and I've been following him around."
Lu Benwei quietly listened to the girl's story.
"When my master took me to travel the world, he taught me how to read the stars, and how to catch fish." Chu Yan's eyes sparkled as she told him about her childhood.
Even Lu Benwei was in a daze.
"I didn't expect our student Chu Yan to have such rich childhood experiences!"
A deep male voice was heard.
Lu Benwei's face immediately changed.
At this moment, Chu Yan still had not reacted and was still talking non-stop, "Isn't that right, Mr. Principal? I'm very good at reading the stars and divination. Do you want me to show you?"
The next second, Chu Yan's expression changed, and she pursed her lips tightly.
"Good evening, Mr. Principal! Did you sneak in too?" Chu Yan's words were already incoherent.
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched. He could shut up if he had nothing to say.
"I knew it was you guys!" Chen Yuan said in a deep voice. "I'm curious, how did you get in?" he asked after a pause.
"Trespassing into the top-secret area without permission is a serious crime. Even if you're the first or second place freshman, you're not allowed to do so!"
"I'll confess, I'll confess!" Chu Yan was flustered like a rabbit. Then, she pointed at Lu Benwei.
"It was all his doing. He pointed a gun at me and asked me to come to the library with him. At the same time, he also said that if I don't go, he'll make me faint and draw a little turtle on my face!"
Chen Yuan obviously did not believe Chu Yan's nonsense.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan's eyes shifted to Lu Benwei.
At this time, Lu Benwei was quietly hiding the book "the Giant Kingdom" behind him.
Chen Yuan's eyes focused and he spread out his hands.
The Giant Kingdom appeared in his hands. "As expected, you've found it."
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched and he looked at Chu Yan with resentment. 'If you don't have anything to say, you can shut up. No one thinks you're mute.'
Chu Yan stuck out her tongue playfully.
At this time, Chen Yuan's sneer was heard. "You're so sure of the authenticity of this book?"
Lu Benwei's pupils shrank and he asked, "Mr. Principal, what do you mean by this?"
"Old Master Liu told you, if the backlash from the divine flame could be so easily resolved, the flame girl would have long become the number one profession in the world," Chen Yuan said.
"For hundreds of years, no one has seen or been to the Giant Kingdom. No one knows whether this book was written by the predecessors to scare people or if it was true."
"As long as there's a chance of survival, I'll give it a try." Lu Benwei interrupted Chen Yuan.
"I'm very sorry for rashly entering the top-secret area. I'll accept any punishment!"
Lu Benwei looked Chen Yuan in the eye, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Yo, you're quite loyal!" Chen Yuan said in a mocking tone.
At this time, Chu Yan also raised her hand and interrupted, "And me! I was just joking. I sneaked in and had nothing to do with Lu Benwei."
"If you want to be punished, you'll be punished together!"
"What?" Chen Yuan sneered. "You won't have any regrets even if you're dispelled?"
"Yes!" the two of them said in unison.
When Chen Yuan heard this, he sighed. "You two are my hope. How can I bear to dispel you?"
Then, he smiled mysteriously and took out a key.
Chapter 47
Chen Yuan spread out his hands.
A bronze key appeared in his palm.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were confused. "Principal, what are you doing?"
I don't think you guys think that the only mysterious thing in the library is the top-secret section," Chen Yuan said calmly.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan replied with a laugh. "Haha"
"Next, I'll show the two of you." Chen Yuan laughed.
"Zhejiang Hunter University's most mysterious place!"
Lu Benwei's pupils shrank and he asked, "More mysterious than the top-secret library area?"
"Of course!" Chen Yuan said proudly.
"No matter what, Zhejiang Hunter University is one of the nine hunter high schools. Although it's not as good as it used to be, its foundation is still intact! Alright, let's not talk anymore. Follow me."
Then, Chen Yuan led Lu Benwei and Chu Yan to the depths of the library.
The deeper they went, the fewer books there were, and the light gradually dimmed.
Chen Yuan led the two of them to an empty but extremely dark area. Then, he snapped his fingers.
"Boom!"
As soon as the crisp sound fell, light immediately lit up.
In front of them, there was a huge magic array door with strange patterns carved on it. The light of the magic array door had been extinguished as if it was sealing something.
Chen Yuan spread his hands and the ancient bronze key slowly floated into the array eye of the magical array door.
Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Since the era of hunters, all the pioneers who fought against the monsters, please listen to my call! I pray for you to guide me and lead me to dispel the haze!"
Chen Yuan's voice fell.
The bronze key immediately emitted a blue crystal-like radiance. The light followed the lines of the magic array door and slowly looked outside.
Ding! Ding!
After a crisp sound, the magic array door slowly opened.
The wind blew gently as Lu Benwei followed Chen Yuan into the space behind the magic array door.
They were standing on a high platform, and in front of them was the interior of an ancient tower that connected the sky and the earth.
In the ancient pagoda, some of the floors were filled with books, some were filled with weapons, and some had magic array stones.
"What's this place?"
Lu Benwei's face was full of disbelief. He did not dare to believe it.
This ancient tower was like the tip of an iceberg when compared to the grand library on the campus. He stuck his head out and looked down. It was as if the abyss was staring at you.
"This is the Musashi area!" Chen Yuan smiled proudly.
"Musashi area?!" Lu Benwei and Chu Yan exclaimed at the same time.
The two of them had never heard of the concept of Musashi area.
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "The Musashi area is where the strongest hunters of the past generations of the academy are hidden. Their life stories are recorded here."
Chu Yan shrugged and said, "So it's about the life stories of all the powerful people. If it's just their life stories, I'm sure there's also a record of the skills that these powerhouses have learned and the point-adding mechanism, right?"
Chen Yuan nodded. "Yes, Chu Yan's guess is correct."
"Basically, since the age of hunters, all the skills that powerhouses have learned, comprehended, and the point-adding mechanism are recorded here."
Lu Benwei suddenly understood.
To a person who had just stepped into the path of a hunter, knowing the skills that a strong person had learned and understood, as well as the point-adding mechanism, could be said to be a great enlightenment. Not to mention being able to learn the powerful skills of the seniors.
If he could understand the powerful seniors' point-adding mechanism and journey, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the future.
This was not just a martial arts collection, it was a treasure!
"Principal, did you bring us here to let us pick a senior and learn his path?" Chu Yan said excitedly.
Chen Yuan nodded.
"Long live the principal!" Chu Yan shouted.
Lu Benwei's eyes lit up but then dimmed. "I'm not the number one freshman, and I'm not from the hunter special combat class. I can't afford to stay in this Musashi-level area."
Chen Yuan placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Who cares if the freshmen are first or not? Just go down."
"But won't the Board of Directors make things difficult for you if they find out what you're doing?" Lu Benwei was a little worried.
"Student Lu Benwei!" Chen Yuan suddenly walked behind Lu Benwei and said, "Just go if I tell you to. I'm the principal, so I have the authority to do so!"
Then, he kicked Lu Benwei's butt. Lu Benwei was caught off guard and was kicked into the ancient tower by the principal, falling quickly.
Chen Yuan stuck his head out and looked at Lu Benwei, who was falling rapidly.
"Strange, why is it falling so fast?"
Suddenly, Chen Yuan's expression changed. "Oh no! I didn't activate the gravity array."
After saying that, Chen Yuan immediately activated the gravity array in the ancient tower.
"Rumble!"
After a dull sound, the gravity circle was activated.
Lu Benwei also stopped falling and floated in the air.
Lu Benwei wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw Chu Yan slowly swimming toward him.
"Hey, annoying fellow, where do you plan to start?" Chu Yan asked.
Lu Benwei shrugged and said, "I'll start with the magician area. What about you?" he asked after a pause.
"I'm planning to go to the magician's Musashi area to see what's the difference between magicians and elementalists," Chu Yan said.
Lu Benwei nodded.
Under normal circumstances, magicians would have talent bonuses for two elements at most. Magicians who had talent bonuses for three elements were called elementalists. 𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶
It could be said that magicians and elementalists came from the same source. However, a powerful elementalist would never walk the path of a magician. Therefore, Chu Yan's primary task was to figure out the difference between magicians and elementalists.
Lu Benwei nodded and parted ways with Chu Yan and floated to the magician's Musashi area.
Even though there were very few people who trained as magicians, there were still many powerful magicians that appeared in the years of history. The magician area still occupied a certain amount of weight in the tower of martial arts.
In the Musashi area, Lu Benwei saw the professional path and the past masters of the past generations of magicians.
"This ancestor mainly strengthened his attack power, supplemented by auxiliary skills such as healing, and became a powerful magician. In a demonic monster tide, he fought against a thousand monsters alone and unfortunately died in the end."
Lu Benwei saw the life story of a wise man and was in awe.
"This senior, on the other hand, focused on support skills. He alone could become the logistics support of a large army."
Lu Benwei was speechless. The life experiences of every magician made him feel shocked and awed.
However, none of the magicians' career paths fit Lu Benwei's thoughts.
"All in all, every magician focuses on different things. Some of them focus on offense, while some focus on support skills. Due to the different emphasis, the focus equipment, and skill choices are also different. Once you focus on one area, you can't change it later!"
Lu Benwei frowned. Obviously, it did not match Lu Benwei's intentions.
What he wanted was the kind of battle magician who could take charge of a side and defend an area, and support magicians who could protect tens of millions of people when they retreated!
"I've decided. I'm going to walk the path of an all-rounded magician!" Lu Benwei's eyes were firm as he cupped his fists.
At this time, a light as bright as the stars attracted Lu Benwei's attention. He floated in that direction. It turned out to be the shadow of an ancient sword.
"This is…"
Chapter 48
What attracted Lu Benwei's attention was the shadow of an ancient sword.
The ancient sword was dark green and looked like it was made of bamboo, but it glowed with a cold light.
Not only that, it was just an afterimage, but it exuded a soul-stirring killing intent.
Lu Benwei slowly floated toward the ancient sword. Just as he was about to touch it, the shadow of the ancient sword suddenly shone brightly.
The shadow of the ancient sword turned from illusionary to real, and a big black hand stretched out from it, pulling Lu Benwei into space.
Chen Yuan's attention was attracted by the commotion below. He stuck his head out to take a look. At first, his face was still full of doubt. Then, his eyes narrowed.
"This kid, is he attracted by that thing?! Or is it that it took the initiative to summon Lu Benwei? This kid is really not simple." Chen Yuan muttered to himself.
In the ancient sword space.
Lu Benwei slowly opened his eyes. "Is it similar to the weapon secret realm in the weapon pavilion?" Lu Benwei muttered.
However, the surrounding environment made him uncertain. It was like a black hole within the ancient sword space.
Lu Benwei was like a star in the dark sky, surrounded by darkness. He frowned slightly.
Right at this moment, an extremely aged voice sounded out. "After so many years, there's finally someone who can resonate with the bamboo sword."
Lu Benwei cupped his hands and said to the void, "Senior, I didn't mean to disturb you. Please forgive me!"
The old man's voice continued. "It's fine. Since you can wake me up, it means that we're fated."
As soon as he finished speaking, the void of darkness in this space instantly dissipated.
Lu Benwei was already standing on the grass. An old man appeared in front of him.
The old man had a head full of white hair, eyes like an eagle's, and was in high spirits. Although his body was slightly hunched, he looked very strong.
"Greetings, Senior." Lu Benwei cupped his hands.
The old man waved his hand, saying, "No need for such formalities."
"Senior, may I ask if you're the owner of this bamboo sword?" Lu Benwei asked.
"That's right!" the old man muttered.
Lu Benwei was secretly shocked. The afterimage of a bamboo sword could create such great power. How powerful must this old man have been when he was alive?
"Junior, may I ask what your name is?" the old man asked.
Lu Benwei did not dare to neglect and cupped his hands. "Surnamed Lu, first name Benwei."
The old man nodded and squinted his eyes. "Benwei… follow your heart. Good name!"
After saying that, the old man spread out his large hands. The bamboo sword appeared in the old man's hand out of thin air.
"Senior, what are you doing?" Lu Benwei asked.
"Since you can resonate with my bamboo sword…" the old man chuckled. "I'll teach you my peerless technique!"
Lu Benwei was flattered and quickly thanked him, "Many thanks, Senior."
"Kid, let me ask you, what's your class?" the old man asked.
"Magician, currently level 19!" Lu Benwei replied without hesitation.
Magician?!
The old man was shocked. He opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but closed it in the end.
After a long time, the old man finally said, "To be able to catch the eye of my bamboo sword, you might have something extraordinary."
"Fine. Brat, use your strongest move against me. I'll suppress my cultivation to your level!"
"Senior, how can I do that?" Lu Benwei hurriedly said.
"I'm just an afterimage. My body has already turned into ashes." The old man laughed.
"Senior, sorry for offending you," Lu Benwei suddenly said.
Then, the Ancient Sword of Clarity appeared in Lu Benwei's hand.
"Ancient Sword of Clarity?" The old man's eyes narrowed. "Kid, you're really something!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Lu Benwei's aura quickly boiled!
Heavenly Dog's Wrath was released!
Sharp Blade was released!
Heavenly Dog's Blade was released!
Lu Benwei's attributes and attack power had reached a height that his peers could not reach!
Even so, facing the afterimage, Lu Benwei was still not sure if he could defeat it in one strike!
The old man's eyes narrowed again. His originally calm face changed slightly. He held the bamboo sword in his hand tightly.
"Brat, bring it on!"
"Senior, I'm sorry!"
Lightning Speed was released!
Lu Benwei's body became very light, and he tapped his feet lightly. His entire body was like a cannonball as he rushed out. He pulled back the Ancient Sword of Clarity and pointed it at the old man.
The old man shouted and quickly stepped back, his speed comparable to Lu Benwei's.
The two began their pursuit.
The old man was obviously delaying the duration of Lu Benwei's buff!
After a long time, the old man exclaimed, "A long duration! No wonder he was recognized by the Ancient Sword of Clarity and my bamboo sword!
Before he could finish, the old man stomped the ground with his toes and stopped moving forward.
"Kid, watch carefully. This old move is called "Divine Sword of Destruction!"
[Divine Sword of Destruction]
[Transcendence skill. Able to cast a powerful attack with 400 percent of your own attributes on a target!]
A huge black magic circle appeared behind the old man. The bamboo sword in his hand circled it. Then, he retracted it back to his waist and charged forward.
A powerful sword light rushed toward Lu Benwei.
Wherever it went, the earth trembled, and the soil rolled.
Lu Benwei's pupils suddenly shrank, and his hands did not stop.
The Ancient Sword of Clarity suddenly stabbed toward the sword light.
"Crack!"
Lu Benwei kept retreating. His wrist kept shaking as he muttered in shock, "What a terrifying move! I only managed to nullify the Divine Sword of Destruction's sword light with my three enhancement skills."
At the same time, the old man was also very shocked. More than that, he admired Lu Benwei. 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Alright! After you learn my Divine Sword of Destruction and your terrifying buff, you'll definitely be able to recreate my past!"
The old man laughed. Suddenly, the laughter stopped.
"It's a pity that you're a magician. Your speed of learning skills will be greatly delayed."
Lu Benwei cupped his hands and said, "Senior, I've already learned 30 percent."
"What?" When the old man heard this, he blinked in disbelief. "I only used one move, and you've already learned 30 percent of it?!"
Lu Benwei being summoned by the bamboo sword did not shock him. He was a magician, but he was not shocked.
As a magician, Lu Benwei's attack power was much higher than other classes of the same level, but he was not shocked. However, Lu Benwei said that he only took a look and learned 30 percent.
The old man was shocked beyond words. Of course, this was the result of One-Click Skill Support!
In addition, the old man intended to teach Lu Benwei, so he could naturally learn quickly.
Chapter 49
The old man looked at Lu Bingwei in disbelief.
"Kid, how old are you now?" the old man asked.
"I just turned 18 this year!" Lu Benwei replied respectfully. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Heroes indeed come from the young!" the old man exclaimed after hearing the news.
"Senior is too kind."
"With your talent, it's already set in stone that you'll surpass me in the future." The old man waved his hand. "Alright, let's cut to the chase. I'm going to teach you the real Divine Sword of Destruction!
Lu Benwei cupped his hands and distanced himself from the old man.
After that, the old man taught Lu Benwei a few key points and showed him a few times.
Lu Benwei had already mastered 80 percent of it.
It was not that the old man deliberately held back. The remaining 20 percent needed to be completed in actual combat.
After learning the Divine Sword of Destruction, Lu Benwei was pulled out of the secret realm and his divine sense returned to the ancient Musashi tower.
"Hu!"
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Lu Benwei bowed to the bamboo sword three times.
…
"Mr. Principal, why is that annoying fellow so slow?"
Chu Yan sat on the edge of the stands, her feet dangling in the air.
It had been four hours since she had obtained Musashi's skill. However, there was still no movement below the ancient pagoda.
"As expected, that move is still too difficult for him," Chen Yuan replied calmly.
Chu Yan could hear a hint of disappointment in Chen Yuan's words.
"Mr. Principal, do you know what kind of Musashi legacy this annoying fellow is learning?" she asked curiously.
Chen Yuan nodded. "It's a godly skill that a senior with the surname Gu in our Zhejiang Hunter University learned on his own," he said after signing.
"With just a bamboo sword and a divine skill, he dominated the world for more than ten years. I remember that senior Gu created this godly skill when he was over level 50. After that, he abandoned all other skills and cultivated to level 85 with this skill alone."
"He's so strong!" Chu Yan exclaimed.
Her little head looked down and said, "It sounds so difficult. I wonder how long that annoying fellow will have to train for."
Chen Yuan sighed and said, "Yeah, maybe ten days to half a month. After all, Lu Benwei is only a magician."
After saying that, Chen Yuan smiled bitterly.
Was it not too whimsical to pin the hope of revival on a magician?
"Let's go," Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.
Chu Yan had just stood up and dusted off the dust on her butt when she heard a familiar voice.
"Wait for me!" It was Lu Benwei.
Chu Yan waved her hand excitedly and waited for Lu Benwei to land before saying, "You're so stupid. The principal and I have been waiting for so long that the flowers have wilted."
Lu Benwei smiled at Chu Yan and then turned to Chen Yuan.
"You've learned it?" Chen Yuan was surprised at Lu Benwei's speed and asked.
Lu Benwei did not intend to hide it and nodded.
When Chen Yuan heard this, although his face was calm, his heart was already in turmoil. Only a few people had learned senior Gu's Divine Sword of Destruction after entering the ancient pagoda of Tibet martial treasure.
However, there were no exceptions. The time taken for the person to learn it could be as long as three months or as short as three days.
A magician's learning speed should be slower than hunters of other classes. However, Lu Benwei only took three hours.
'This kid must have some secrets!' Chen Yuan thought to himself.
After praising him, Chen Yuan said in a deep voice, "Lu Benwei, don't think that you're so proud of getting a peerless skill."
"Understood, Mr. Principal." Lu Benwei nodded.
"Lu Benwei, can you tell me how you resonated with the bamboo sword?" the principal asked curiously.
"As far as I know, to resonate with the bamboo sword, you need to have a strong fighting intent in addition to having enough strength."
At this time, Chu Yan interrupted. "Mr. Principal, what's the intention of fighting?"
Chen Yuan explained, "The intention of a battle is to have the desire to fight in your heart. If you're a priest, you can't just be a wet nurse on someone's *ss.
"Back then, senior Gu relied on his vigorous fighting spirit to comprehend the Divine Sword of Destruction."
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan nodded at the same time.
Lu Benwei scratched his head and said, "I didn't reveal much of my intention to fight. I've seen the paths of all my predecessors and decided that I want to be an all-rounded magician. After that, the bamboo sword seemed to have resonated with me."
Chen Yuan's mouth twitched unconsciously and his pupils contracted and relaxed.
Then, his expression returned to normal, and he asked again, "Lu Benwei, are you sure you want to walk the path of an all-rounded magician?"
Lu Benwei nodded.
After Chen Yuan received Lu Benwei's response, his face became gloomy again. "I advise you to think about it carefully. I've seen many people try to walk the path of an all-rounded magician over the years, but without exception, they all failed."
Lu Benwei understood what Chen Yuan was saying. Being an all-rounded magician meant he could fight and support at the same time. For support classes, these two things could not be balanced.
If he wanted to fight, he had to focus on his strength and other attributes. If he wanted to assist, he had to focus on attributes like spirit.
In short, each focus was different, and the two could not be taken into account at the same time. If he really tried to forcefully balance the two, it was very likely that he would end up with nothing.
However, Lu Benwei firmly said, "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Principal, but I still want to try."
Seeing that Lu Benwei did not want to give up, Chen Yuan waved his hand and said, "I understand that you're feeling a little arrogant now that you've defeated Mo Tianyu. But he's not the strongest in this year's hunter special combat class. Due to some special reasons, the strongest new students of this year's hunter special combat class have already entered Northwind Mountain."
Chen Yuan sighed and said, "There's no turning back. I advise you to think about it again."
Lu Benwei smiled. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Principal. Since the new student from the hunter special combat class is also cultivating in Northwind Mountain, I can't stay idle. Can I enter Northwind Mountain to train?"
"And me, I want to go too!" Chu Yan interjected.
"Only level 20 and above can enter Northwind Mountain. One of you is only level 19, and the other is only level 18. How are the two of you going to get in?" Chen Yuan asked.
"So, that's how it is," Lu Benwei said with some disappointment.
"But don't be disheartened." Chen Yuan took out two red cards. "There's still a place for you two to cultivate."
"What is this?" Lu Benwei took the red card.
"This is the access card to the simulated combat room," Chen Yuan explained, "Although the combat simulation room can't increase your level, it will still have a significant effect on your actual combat experience."
Chapter 50
Lu Benwei took the access card to the simulated combat room and said, "Thank you, Mr. Principal!
"Thank you, Mr. Principal!" Chu Yan also cheered. "Long live the principal!"
Chen Yuan yawned. "Alright, I've stayed up all night. I'm going back to sleep. You two can do as you please."
After saying that, Chen Yuan disappeared.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan shrugged at each other.
"Do you want to go together?" Lu Benwei asked.
Chu Yan yawned. "No, I didn't sleep all night. I have to go back and make up for it. How about you?"
"I'm not sleepy yet, so I plan to go to the combat simulation room first," Lu BBNenwei said lightly.
"You have so much energy." Chu Yan hesitated for a moment before she turned around and left the ancient pagoda.
Lu Benwei followed her out of the library.
The sun was high in the sky. Lu Benwei could not open his eyes due to the glaring sunlight.
After parting ways with Chu Yan, Lu Benwei went to the battle simulation room.
The battle simulation room was located on the north side of the north field. It was a separate field. To be more precise, it was a group of factories.
Without exception, all of them were sealed, except for the factory building with a green roof in the middle.
Lu Benwei let out a breath of air and walked toward the factory. Before he could reach the door, a female senior in a white coat and glasses stopped him.
"Hey, that student over there, stop!"
Lu Benwei stopped and asked, "Senior, what's the matter?"
"Do you know what this place is?" the senior asked with her hands on her hips.
Lu Benwei nodded. "I know. It's the battle simulation room."
The senior's face slightly paled as she asked, "Then let me ask you, do you have an access card?"
Lu Benwei took out the red card and handed it to her without saying anything.
The senior's face was filled with smiles. "You should have said so earlier. I thought you were the kind of student who wanted to sneak in without an access card!"
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched. 'You didn't even ask, did you?'
The senior took Lu Benwei into the center of the simulated combat room. 𝒍𝓲𝓫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝙤𝒎
It was morning. There were not many people who came to the simulated combat room to train. Even the staff members were sleepy.
The central factory building was huge, and there was a display panel at the end of each corridor. There were two rows of information. One was the current kill count ranking in the simulated combat room. The other column was the ranking list for the number of kills in history.
Lu Benwei looked at the historical kill list and was slightly surprised.
'The principal is the first in history!' Lu Benwei exclaimed in his heart.
Chen Yuan's kill count stopped at 91. At the same time, Chen Yuan was only level 26!
Then, the senior took Lu Benwei to the central monitoring room of the factory.
"Come on, Junior. Register your information!" the senior said to Lu Benwei.
There were only a few staff members in the central control room. When he saw Lu Benwei come in, he just lazily raised his eyebrows and greeted them.
Lu Benwei took out his school badge and scanned the device in front of him.
"Ding! Reading is successful!" The mechanical sound attracted people's attention.
[Name: Lu Benwei]
[Grade: First grade]
"He's a freshman! It's rare for a freshman to come to the simulated combat room on his own initiative. You're going to have a hard time later." Someone mocked.
The mechanical voice continued.
[Class: Magician]
[Level: 19]
Everyone, "Hehe."
"And he's a magician. Wouldn't he just get beaten up if he went in?"
"Although his level is considered outstanding among his peers, he doesn't watch this in simulated battles."
"It's probably hard enough to kill a monster."
Lu Benwei's face was calm as he listened to the whispers around him. He was already used to all of this.
The senior from before also had an awkward expression.
"Junior, I have to remind you that the access card is a one-time use. You can't use it again once you enter."
"It doesn't matter, I'm ready," Lu Benwei lightly replied.
The senior shrugged her shoulders and operated the tablet in her hand.
"Alright, simulation Room No. 8."
Lu Benwei nodded and went to simulation Room No. 8.
Lu Benwei turned around and asked, "By the way, I have a question. Back then, the principal was only at level 26. Why has no one broken through after so many years?"
As soon as he finished speaking, mocking laughter came one after another.
Lu Benwei was puzzled.
In front of him, the senior held back her teasing smile. "Don't you know the rules of a simulated battle?"
Lu Benwei shook his head.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the central control room became even more playful.
"You don't even know the rules?"
"This kid, is he here to be funny?"
"How did he get the access card? Did he pick it up out of nowhere?"
Lu Benwei just looked at the senior indifferently.
The senior was stared at until she suddenly realized something. A trace of fear gradually rose in her heart, and she said in a panic, "It's like this. The simulated combat room will suppress everyone's level and attributes to the same level. In addition, no skills can be used inside the room."
Speaking of this, Lu Benwei finally understood the uniqueness of the combat simulation room.
"Junior, even so, do you still want to simulate it?"
Lu Benwei nodded and went to simulation Room No. 8.
Some people looked at their watches. "It's 9 o 'clock now. I bet 2,000 hunter coins that Lu Benwei will come out in less than 10 minutes."
"I bet 4,000, five minutes!"
…
Lu Benwei had entered Room No. 8 combat simulation room.
He was unable to use any skills, and his level and attributes were suppressed to a relatively average level.
Lu Benwei knew that he had made the right choice!
"The reason why I'm so strong is because of my powerful skills and the system's suppression! But in other aspects, I'm still far inferior to those proud sons of heaven!"
"The Giant Kingdom is full of danger, and there might be some anti-magic skills. I need to accumulate some combat experience now! For the sake of becoming stronger, and also for Lu Ziling!"
Lu Ziling's voice appeared in Lu Benwei's mind again.
He gradually clenched his fists, and his sharp nails dug deep into his palms, causing waves of heart-piercing pain.
At this time, a low roar of a monster was heard. It was a level 15 combat-type ape.
In terms of attack power, speed, and defense, the combat-type ape was an extremely powerful existence among its peers! Its combat techniques were also extremely rich.
Lu Benwei's face gradually darkened.
"Very good! I'll use you as a sacrifice in my path to be stronger!"
Then, Lu Benwei shouted.
The tips of his feet stomped heavily on the ground, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball.
Lu Benwei raised his sandbag-sized fist and was ready to punch the combat-type ape.
However, the combat ape merely tapped the ground with the tip of its foot and easily dodged it.
Then, the combat-type ape kicked Lu Benwei in the stomach. His body arched like a shrimp as he flew out.
Before he could feel the pain, the combat-type ape instantly appeared in front of Lu Benwei and raised its powerful fist, launching a rain of attacks.
Cruel!
Bloody!
He could not bear to look at it!
In the monitoring room, everyone's scalps went numb.
"Damn, this kid's skin is so thick. He's not in any danger even after such a beating."
"No matter how tough you are, there will be a moment when you can't hold on."
"I'm bored. I'm going back to sleep. I'll come back in the afternoon!"
"Bring me along!"
In the monitoring room, many people shook their heads and went to do their own things.
Little did they know that Lu Benwei had undergone constant transformations after constant battles.
A day had passed.
Lu Benwei finally finished off the combat-type ape.
Two days had passed.
Lu Benwei had successfully mastered the essentials of facing a monster in actual combat.
On the morning of the third day.
Everyone looked at the record of the hundred kills in training Room No. 8 and fell into deep thought.
Chapter 51
"Hun… Hundred kills!"
The next morning, one of the workers in the Battle Simulation Training Center opened the door. He saw that Lu Benwei's kill count stopped at "100" and blinked in disbelief.
"A hundred kills. When we left last night, he was at fifty kills. After one night, he had killed another fifty?"
After rubbing his eyes and making sure it was not a dream, the staff member's mouth was wide open. His eyes were as dull as a marionette as he stood in place.
At this time, other staff members came to the battle simulation training room one after another. Their reactions were exactly the same as the staff member who had arrived first.
"Hundred kills?!"
"How is that possible?"
"Did this kid not rest all night?"
Some people were so shocked that their mouths were agape.
"No, he didn't rest since yesterday morning until he completed his hundred kills," someone checked the recorded data and said in shock.
Everyone sucked in a sharp breath of cold air because of this sentence.
Especially the group of people who ridiculed Lu Benwei the day before yesterday, their faces were burning as if they had been slapped hard.
In three days, he had achieved a hundred kills. Before that, the one with the best results in history was the current principal, Chen Yuan. In just two and a half days, he had achieved 91 kills.
On the surface, it seemed like Lu Benwei had half a day more time than Chen Yuan. However, nine of them were missing, and each of them was stronger than the last. Without a doubt, he was the first person in the history of Zhejiang Hunter University!
"A hundred kills, and he's a magician!" someone muttered in shock.
This simple sentence caused the crowd, who had finally calmed down, to be stirred up again.
"Damn, I almost forgot. This kid is a magician!"
"Damn, a magician achieved a hundred kills and still wants us warriors to live?"
"Damn, I remember this freshman named Lu Benwei!" A staff member with an afro smacked his head, attracting the attention of many people.
The afro guy swallowed his saliva and said, "This new student won second place in the freshmen tournament a few days ago. Guess how he got second place?"
Everyone craned their necks out of curiosity and looked at the afro guy seriously.
The afro paused for a moment before he continued, "You all know the rules of this year's freshmen tournament. This guy is the first to advance in the point-based elimination round. However, you all know that if you want to advance to the next round, you must wait for the second person to accumulate enough points before both of you can advance."
At this point, the afro guy pursed his lips tightly.
"But do you know how much of an animal this Lu Benwei is?"
The people around him nodded and then shook their heads.
To achieve a hundred kills in three days, if he was not an animal, what was he? No matter how brutal he was, could he have compared to this?
The afro pondered for a while and said, "This guy went to help the others accumulate points and complete the advancement. Then, he personally eliminated them!"
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this. Their mouths opened and closed repeatedly as they gasped for air.
"This guy, isn't he too outrageous?"
"I can already imagine how it feels to be eliminated by Lu Benwei. He's too good!"
"This guy is already of such a high grade, yet he still managed to rank second in the freshmen tournament. What kind of monster is the first ranked freshman?"
After a series of shocking discussions, the news of Lu Benwei's hundred kills achievement spread like wildfire across the campus.
At this time, Lu Benwei was sitting cross-legged in Room No. 8.
He placed his hands on his knees, his chest rising and falling evenly and comfortably. He had entered a state of meditation. Nothing around him could interrupt him.
His clothes were already soaked in sweat. In fact, with a gentle twist, a puddle of water could be squeezed out.
The battle scenes flashed through his mind. Digest and absorb.
Lu Benwei opened his eyes.
After slowly exhaling, Lu Benwei clenched his fists and muttered, "There seems to be something different. What could it be?"
Before Lu Benwei could finish thinking, a mechanical sound was heard.
"Lu Benwei, do you want to continue the simulation?"
Lu Benwei thought for a moment. He stayed in the Battle Simulation Training Center for about three days. He had no idea what had happened outside these days.
Moreover, he had already accumulated a lot of battle experience from the battle simulation. He must have reached a state of near perfection. If he continued with the simulation, he would not gain much.
"Let's end this!" Lu Benwei said.
After a moment of silence, the door of Room No. 8 opened.
The glaring sunlight poured in, and Lu Benwei could not open his eyes for a while.
At this time, a group of people was waiting for Lu Benwei to come out. They were all prepared to witness this new student who had achieved the hundred kills achievement and congratulate him.
Among them, the senior who received Lu Benwei the day before was already waiting.
Lu Benwei had achieved an unprecedented 100 kills. His future was limitless. The benefits of befriending such a junior were self-evident.
After seeing Lu Benwei come out, the senior greeted him, "Lu Benwei, junior!" After saying that, the senior even waved her hand.
Lu Benwei heard someone call his name and subconsciously opened his eyes.
"Boom!"
An extremely strong killing intent covered the sky and suppressed everyone.
The senior's right hand, which was still waving, first slowed down, and then finally froze in the air.
Everyone shuddered violently, and fine cold sweat instantly appeared. Everyone did not even dare to breathe as they stared at Lu Bingwei in shock.
At this moment, Lu Benwei was at a loss. 'Why are so many people looking at me? Also, who called me just now? Did I hear wrong?'
Lu Benwei glanced at the crowd and did not see anyone familiar. He sighed. "Maybe I heard wrong."
Lu Benwei shrugged and walked out of Room No. 8.
Everyone in the training room sighed in relief when they saw Lu Benwei's back.
"What a terrifying gaze!"
"For a moment, I even thought that he was going to kill me."
"Damn! He can't be thinking that he can look down on us just because he has the hundred kills achievement, right?"
Everyone was discussing with righteous indignation. Just as they were about to give a warning, a strong middle-aged man interrupted them.
"Stop, all of you. A group of seniors bullying a junior, isn't that embarrassing enough?"
When the group of people saw the owner of the voice, their expressions changed slightly.
"Dean Nangong!"
Nangong was the dean of a hidden vocational college before the reform of Zhejiang Hunter University. He was one of the top three deans in the university!
Nangong nodded and said to everyone, "You're all dismissed."
Then, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Lu Benwei's back.
"To be able to develop battle intent at such a young age, you're not simple! It's a pity he's a magician. Otherwise, I'd definitely recruit him into my academy."𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎
Chapter 52
As soon as Lu Benwei stepped into the simulation training center, he heard a burst of laughter.
Lu Benwei knew it was Chu Yan.
He turned his head.
Chu Yan was leaning against the wall with one foot on the ground and another against the wall.
Today, she was dressed very simply. From top to bottom, she was wearing a light blue top, denim shorts, and white shoes.
Lu Benwei was wearing a gray knitted vest and a brown shirt. 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝘮
She was dressed like a girl next door, young and beautiful. She was about 1.68 meters tall. Her skin was smooth, her eyes clear like water, and she looked like a fairy. She stood there quietly like an orchid in an empty valley.
However, her personality was a little carefree, making it difficult for people to figure out her thoughts. She was like a little witch.
"Are you looking for me or going to the training room?" Lu Benwei asked.
Lu Benwei did not need to ask this question. He knew that Chu Yan was here to find him. If she was going to the training room, Chu Yan would have already gone in.
"Of course, I'm here to play with you. Why can't I?" Chu Yan replied with a smile.
With that, Chu Yan turned around to leave.
Lu Benwei quickly caught up with Chu Yan and said, "I didn't say no. It's just that I've been in the training room for three days, and my whole body stinks."
Chu Yan rolled her eyes at Lu Benwei and said, "It's not like we're going on a date, so what if you're a little stinky?"
Lu Benwei was speechless. Sometimes, this woman just could not stop saying shocking things.
Looking at Lu Benwei's embarrassed look, Chu Yan giggled again.
Lu Benwei stood side by side with her and slightly turned his head to look at her beautiful side profile. Coupled with that flirtatious smile, she was as enchanting as a poppy flower.
The scene seemed to be frozen at this moment.
"I'm here to fight you!" Chu Yan suddenly said.
Lu Benwei was stunned.
"Huh? Fight?"
"That's right. You promised me last time, but you fainted in the freshmen tournament. I've given you so many strengthening stones, you can't go back on your word," Chu Yan said seriously.
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched. He initially thought that this matter would be over just like that. He did not expect Chu Yan to bring up this matter again today.
Lu Benwei had to agree to Chu Yan's request.
The moment he agreed, Chu Yan reached out and grabbed Lu Benwei's wrist, striding forward.
"Let's go and fight!"
A handsome man and a beautiful woman were walking around the campus, attracting the attention of many people.
"Damn, are all the new students so wild these days?"
"Fighting every day before falling in love?"
"My third-year senior expressed that I can't understand the hearts of the young people these days."
"By the way, that girl is really beautiful!"
"Fair skin, beautiful appearance, and long legs… She's simply my dream lover!"
"Let's go, let's quickly follow them!"
Chu Yan pulled Lu Benwei into the school's arena.
Behind them, there was a group of people who were obsessed with Chu Yan's beautiful appearance.
The battleground was similar to the Colosseum of ancient Rome.
At that moment, many students were engaged in battles in the arena. There were also many spectators in the surrounding stands.
After Chu Yan and Lu Benwei entered the arena, a large number of spectators poured out of the audience.
"I told you, this girl is of the highest quality. She's the most beautiful I've ever seen!"
"It's a pity that this girl is already taken."
"F*cking b*stard, what's that man's name?"
"This man has such a good-looking partner. How could he bear to hit her?"
At this time, Lu Benwei gradually noticed the anger of the male audience. He raised his head and took a glance.
That so-called battle intent instantly swept through the audience. The audience instantly fell silent. It took a long time for everyone to recover.
"Tsk, what's a first-year student doing?"
"So what if you're handsome and have a beautiful girlfriend? When I was a student in the underworld, you weren't even a grown man yet!"
"Hurry up and get out of here!"
…
The curses from the audience continued to reach the ears of the two people in the arena.
Lu Benwei looked at Chu Yan and shrugged. "Let's start!"
Chu Yan nodded, tiptoed, and put some distance between her and Lu Benwei.
Then, Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed, and his qi suddenly rose.
At this moment, everyone present could feel Lu Benwei's level.
"Level 19?!"
"What the f*ck? Isn't this guy a freshman? He's already level 19 when he just entered the school?"
"I admit that I was too loud just now. This boy's future is limitless!"
Chu Yan also revealed her level.
"Level 21!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
Today's new students were all fiercer than the last!
Lu Benwei was slightly surprised and asked, "You're actually level 21?"
Chu Yan gently touched her forehead and said, "I just got promoted yesterday."
Chu Yan began to chant a spell in a low voice.
A magical halo appeared beneath her feet and quickly rose into the air. At the same time, it continued to expand, covering the entire arena.
"Large fireball!"
After a clear shout, the scorching temperature came from the sky above the arena.
The sky suddenly darkened. Everyone raised their heads, and then their pupils shrank.
A huge fireball was thrown at the arena. Seeing this, the other students who were competing in the other arenas jumped off the arena one after another.
The teacher in charge of the battleground's mouth twitched, and he immediately activated a protective shield.
However, Lu Benwei did not panic and spread out his hands.
Lu Benwei threw out a huge shield that emitted white holy light and blocked it in front of him.
[Holy Light Shield]
[Defensive skill. After use, a light shield will form in front of the host, which can resist damage.]
The fireball that blotted out the sky and covered the sun slammed into the Holy Light Shield, making a deafening sound.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
The stalemate lasted for several breaths.
The huge fireball finally collapsed, and smoke immediately rose, covering the sky.
Lu Benwei retrieved the Holy Light Shield.
At this moment, Chu Yan said lightly, "This time, the entire battleground is ours."
However, Lu Benwei had already guessed Chu Yan's thoughts and gently nodded.
Suddenly, Chu Yan burst out laughing. "Annoying fellow, look up first."
Lu Benwei was puzzled but still looked up. In an instant, his pupils shrank.
From the smoke, small fireballs came out one after another and flew toward Lu Benwei.
The big fireball from before had collapsed into small fireballs!
Lu Benwei was not afraid and used his fusion skill.
[Heavenly Light Shield]
[Resist 50 percent of all attacks from creatures below level 25!]
Chapter 53
The spectators stand on the battleground of Zhejiang Hunter University.
The audience was deeply shocked by the dazzling battle below the stage.
Just a second ago, Chu Yan was still suppressing Lu Benwei. All kinds of elemental magic were cast everywhere as if they were free.
Lu Benwei could only use the Holy Light Shield and Heavenly Light Shield to block it.
The next second, Lu Benwei did the exact opposite. He held the Ancient Sword of Clarity in one hand and used three enhancement skills, forcing Chu Yan to retreat.
Everyone on the stage swallowed their saliva.
"Aren't the freshmen today a little too heaven-defying?"
"Even if these two are the first and second ranked freshmen, the first and second ranked freshmen of our batch can't be compared to them."
"Could it be that our Zhejiang Hunter University is going to rise again and restore our glory days?"
"Zhejiang Hunter University is really in decline. Just two people like them can shock you guys like this."
Just as the students were amazed by Lu Benwei and Chu Yan's strength, a cold sneer came from behind them.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the owner of the voice. He was tall, about 1.95 meters. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a strong body. On his chest, there was a school badge that proved that he was a freshman.
"You're also a first-year student. Don't you know how powerful these two are?" Someone berated me.
The tall and strong freshman sneered. "Hehe, they're just an elementalist and a magician. How can they shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding the glory of Zhejiang Hunter University like you said?"
Everyone heard this and looked at Lu Benwei.
"Such a talented and powerful person is actually a magician?"
The tall and strong freshman continued to sneer and mock.
"A person who can shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding the glory of Zhejiang Hunter University is definitely not a magician!"
After saying that, the tall and strong freshman's deep eyes flashed with a cunning light.
At the same time, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan's battle turned hot.
Lu Benwei even directly put on the Viper Set. Other than his head, everything else was green.
Seeing this, Chu Yan smiled and teased, "Annoying fellow, are you trying to make me laugh to death because you can't beat me?"
"Cut the crap," Lu benwei replied indifferently, "Your elemental magic has never stopped since the start of the competition. I'm afraid your energy is almost exhausted, right?"
Although Lu Benwei said this, he was shocked. Chu Yan's strength was beyond his imagination. Even though he had used his fusion skill, he had never been able to get close to Chu Yan.
"Hiss!"
After taking a deep breath, Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed.
Lightning Speed was quietly activated. Speed increased by 20 percent, duration of five minutes!
Lu Benwei instantly felt lighter, and he moved forward a long distance.
Chu Yan was not flustered as the staff in her hand flickered. Then, she tapped the ground lightly, and a layer of ice quickly condensed under her feet. At the same time, fine snow began to fall from the sky.
Chu Yan stood in the middle of the ice magic; her face red from the cold. The hot breath coming out of her nose made her look like a fairy in the snow.
Everyone on the stage was dumbfounded. Their mouths were slightly open. They wanted to praise the beautiful scenery, but they were afraid to disturb the fairy.
Only Lu Benwei did not have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Eye of Insight read Chu Yan's skill and he took a deep breath of cold air.
[Ice and Snow]
[Ice attribute skill damage increased by 20 percent!]
[At the same time, its own speed will be increased by 10 percent, and all creatures within the ice range will have their speed reduced by 10 percent!]
Amplify oneself and weaken the opponent! What a terrifying skill!
Lu Benwei clenched his fist and punched out. Myriad Light Fist was released!
In the air, countless fists shining with white light suddenly appeared and rained down on Chu Yan.
The beautiful scene shattered, and Chu Yan waved her magic staff.
Star Cross Shield!
A cross-shaped ice shield was in front of him. It was huge and blocked the rain of fists under the shield. The shield shattered.
Lu Benwei used the shield fragments to hide himself.
Chu Yan looked for Lu Benwei's gaze in confusion.
To no avail, Lu Benwei suddenly appeared on Chu Yan's right side, holding the Ancient Sword of Clarity and rushing straight toward Chu Yan.
Chu Yan's eyes flickered away in a hurry. When she regained her senses, she immediately responded with magic.
"Blizzard!"
After a clear shout, the ice elements in the field suddenly went berserk. The goose feather-like snow and sharp ice shards covered the entire area.
Lu Benwei instantly read the information about this skill. It was the upgraded skill of Ice and Snow.
The ice element within the range would go berserk. On top of Ice and Snow, the power of ice attribute skills would be increased by 20 percent!
Her four-dimensional attributes had increased! Reduce four attributes of all living creatures within range!
At the same time, she would cast a Frost Strike every five seconds. There was a 50 percent chance that the enemy would be frozen for three seconds after a hit!
Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed after signing at this skill.
He clenched the Ancient Sword of Clarity in his hand, first pulling back, then stabbing!
Divine Sword of Destruction, burst! An extremely powerful sword light gushed out!
Chu Yan and Lu Benwei were still a dozen meters away, but they could already feel the terrifying aura of Nirvana.
Chu Yan did not have time to exclaim as she used all kinds of defensive skills.
Cross Star Shield.
Ring Water Shield.
Molten Shield.
…
All kinds of shields blocked in front of her. Every one of them met the Divine Sword of Destruction and was broken after three seconds.
Fortunately, Chu Yan had many skills. When the last shield was broken, she finally obliterated the terrifying sword light.
"What a terrifying skill! This is the most terrifying skill I've ever seen! I've really underestimated this annoying fellow," Chu Yan exclaimed.
Lu Benwei was the most terrifying peer she had ever met! 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝘮
'In time, this annoying fellow will become a true expert. He might even be stronger than my master!' Thinking of this, Chu Yan pouted in dissatisfaction.
"I'm done, I'm done."
When Lu Benwei heard this, he also stopped.
"Why did you stop?" Lu Benwei asked.
Chu Yan took back her staff and said, "I'm tired. I've decided to end our fight in a draw."
"Little Wei, what do you think?" Chu Yan glanced at Lu benwei.
Lu Benwei spread out his hands helplessly. "I'm fine with anything!" he said.
Chu Yan laughed again when she heard this. Then, she patted Lu Benwei's chest and said, "Not bad, annoying fellow. You can actually fight me to a draw."
Chapter 54
Lu Benwei scratched his head and replied to Chu Yan, "You're not bad either. We've been fighting for so long, but your energy isn't running out."
The two of them praised each other. At the same time, the battle between the two was recorded and posted on the Zhejiang Hunter University's intranet.
"Damn, this is fake, right?"
"This is a newbie?"
"I don't believe it! It must be a special effect!"
At first, people did not believe it, but as more and more people uploaded the video of Lu Benwei and Chu Yan's battle, more and more people joined the discussion.
"Are all the new students this year so wild?"
"This new female student's strength is too terrifying. She's casting elemental magic as if it's free, and it's extremely powerful!"
"And that boy, damn, you're telling me he's a magician?"
As the popularity gradually increased, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan's names were also known by the big shots at Zhejiang Hunter University.
In a corner of Zhejiang Hunter University, in the territory of the Student Union, the Heavenly Dragon Association.
A group of people wearing black dragon-patterned robes gathered and watched the battle video of Lu Benwei and Chu Yan.
"The strength of these two first and second ranked freshmen are extremely terrifying."
"That's right, he's really outdone his master."
"Vice President, should we extend an olive branch to these two?"
"Yes, of course I want it!"
"We can't let go of such a good seedling."
The Vice President of the Heavenly Dragon Association responded.
The conversation was divided into two parts.
In the arena, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan just got off the stage.
The ground suddenly trembled violently, and it was difficult to even walk.
"Ah, is it an earthquake?" Chu Yan covered her head and said in a fuss.
"It's not an earthquake. Someone is deliberately targeting us," Lu Benwei said coldly, his eyes coldly staring at a person in the audience.
He was the tall and strong boy who mocked Lu Benwei and Chu Yan when they were fighting.
In the audience, the tall and strong man sneered. "I was discovered." After saying that, he jumped. His body shot out like a cannonball, leaving a large pit on the ground. In an instant, he jumped into the battleground.
"Boom!"
Smoke filled the air, and another large pit was created on the ground.
"Hello, Lu Benwei!" The tall man walked up to Lu Benwei with a cold smile.
"Who are you?" Lu Benwei asked with a serious expression.
He came with ill intentions. This was Lu Benwei's first impression of him.
The tall and strong man still had a cold smile on his face, but at this moment, there was a little more pride.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Gao Renchao, a student of the Hunter Special Combat Class this year. I'm No Tianyu's classmate."
Lu Benwei heard this and thought, 'Could this person be the member of the Hunter Special Combat Class who entered the Northwind Mountain before?'
Eye of Insight was quietly activated.
[Name: Gao Renchao]
[Class: Earth Shaker (level 1 hidden class)]
[Level: 23]
[Talents: Earth Force, Rock Skin]
[Earth Force: earth element affinity, earth attribute attack skill damage increased, earth attribute defensive skill shield value increased, earth attribute amplification skill level increased]
[Rock Skin: skin as hard as a rock, four-dimensional constitution increased, defense increased]
Lu Benwei was shocked.
Just by looking at his talent, one could tell that his strength far exceeded Mo Tianyu and the others. He was about to speak but Chu Yan beat him to it.
"Oh, it's Gao Renchao. How was it? Was the Northwind Mountain fun?"
Chu Yan's expression was subtle, half smiling and half cold.
"Chu Yan, I don't have time to deal with you now!" Gao Renchao said.
Then, he turned his eyes to Lu Benwei.
"Lu Benwei, I'm here to find you today," Gao Renchao said sternly.
"What's the matter?" Lu Benwei coldly asked.
"We just want you to give us an explanation!" Gao Renchao raised his voice.
"Give you the Hunter Special Combat Class an explanation?" Lu Benwei was confused.
"You beat up a student from the Hunter Special Combat Class during the freshmen tournament. Are you going to let it go just like that?" Gao Renchao said.
"I won the freshmen competition with my own strength. What's wrong with that?" Lu Benwei smiled.
"Mo Tianyu's skills are not as good as his opponent's, so he should admit defeat. How can he turn around and not admit it?"
Lu Benwei immediately understood. This was simply trying to frame someone. Gao Renchao was here to find trouble!
"If you're looking for trouble, just say it!" he said coldly.
Gao Renchao no longer tried to hide it. He said, "You've seen through me. There's nothing more to say."
After saying that, he stomped on the ground, and the ground instantly cracked into a spider web. Gao Renchao raised his sandbag-like fist and smashed it toward Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei had already expected this.
Heavenly Dog's Blade, Heavenly Dog's Wrath, and Sharp Blade were instantly released, and Lu Benwei's attributes were increased to a powerful level.
"Boom!"
The fists collided.
The clothes on their right arms were torn apart in an instant. Their muscles shook back and forth with the strong brute force, which was extremely visually impactful.
However, the stalemate did not last long. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Lu Benwei felt a little weak. He twisted his waist, lowered his center of gravity, and put all his strength into his right fist. It could not be helped as he had used up a lot of energy in his previous battle with Chu Yan.
Seeing this, Gao Renchao smiled slyly.
Lu Benwei's right hand suddenly retracted, and he almost lost his balance. However, at this moment, Gao Renchao's left fist arrived.
"Annoying fellow!" Chu Yan shouted and the staff in her hand reappeared. Then, a large amount of water elements quickly gathered around her.
Her first thought was to use water magic to protect Lu Benwei.
She did not want to use ice magic or fire magic to kill Gao Renchao.
However, at this moment, a gust of wind blew past. Then, a pair of warm hands rested on Chu Yan's shoulders.
"I'll do it!" A gentle voice came from behind Chu Yan.
A man wearing a long black robe with dragon patterns and a faint smile on his face was floating in the air.
He waved his hand, and two gusts of wind blew into the arena. One caught Lu Benwei, and the other offset the powerful fist force.
"Who are you?" Gao Renchao was furious.
The man who had been smiling the entire time said, "Gao Renchao, calm down. We're all classmates. Why do you have to play with knives and guns?"
Gao Renchao looked at the man and his anger dissipated by half. "So, it's Vice President Liu of the Heavenly Dragon Association. What, you're just a third-year student. Do you want to meddle in the affairs of first-year students?"
"If it was just you freshmen, of course I wouldn't get involved, but Lu Benwei and Chu Yan will be members of our Heavenly Dragon Association in the future. How can I not bear to get involved?" Vice President Liu said with a smile.
Lu Benwei's expression changed slightly. Was this an olive branch being extended to him?
Chapter 55
No matter what, Lu Benwei was grateful that Vice President Liu of the Heavenly Dragon Association had helped him out.
"Thank you, Senior," Lu Benwei said.
Vice President Liu waved his hand and walked to Gao Renchao.
"Gao Renchao, I'll say it here. I don't care if Lu Benwei joins the Heavenly Dragon Association or not. I'm protecting him today," Vice President Liu said to Gao Renchao coldly.
Gao Renchao, however, laughed wildly and said, "Vice President Liu, you said that Lu Benwei hasn't joined your Heavenly Dragon Association yet. Is it worth it to be enemies with the Hunter Special Combat Class for such a person?"
As soon as he said that, even the surrounding onlookers' faces turned pale.
In previous years, the students of the Hunter special combat class were all favored by the University student guilds.
Offending an entire Hunter Special Combat Class for this magician called Lu Benwei was like giving up an entire forest for a tree. Many people swallow their saliva and are worried for Lu Benwei.
Under such an obvious threat, the Heavenly Dragon Association's Vice President Liu would give up on protecting him.
However…
"It's worth it!" Vice President Liu's expression did not change.
As soon as he said that, the surrounding crowd immediately sucked in a cold breath.
The Heavenly Dragon Association was willing to offend the entire Hunter Special Combat Class just for a magician.
Gao Renchao's mouth twitched when he heard this.
"What a Heavenly Dragon Association!"
"You asked for this!"
Vice President Liu ignored him and turned to look at Lu Benwei. A smile reappeared on his face.
"Lu Benwei, let me introduce myself. I'm Liu Qingfeng, the Vice President of the Heavenly Dragon Association."
"Thank you, Senior Liu Qingfeng, for helping me out." Lu Benwei nodded.
Liu Qingfeng waved his hand again and continued, "Lu Benwei, I'm sure you know my intentions. I'm now representing the Heavenly Dragon Association to formally extend you an invitation. Are you willing to join the Heavenly Dragon Association?"
The onlookers all turned their eyes to Lu Benwei.
The Heavenly Dragon Association was willing to give up the entire Hunter Special Combat Class for Lu Benwei. It showed that they were very sincere in inviting him.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Vice President Liu. I don't have time at the moment and can't join any associations," Lu Benwei said.
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. What was this freshman named Lu Benwei thinking?
Gao Renchao heard Lu Benwei's rejection and sneered.
Liu Qingfeng, on the other hand, looked calm and still had a smile.
"Alright, this is your personal right. I can't force you. Pardon me for asking, but does Junior Lu Benwei have any plans?"
"I want to go to Northwind Mountain to level up. My level is too low now," Lu Benwei immediately said.
Liu Qingfeng nodded.
"That's good too. Your biggest weakness right now is that your level is too low. Northwind Mountain is also the most suitable place for you to train. You can consider us when you have time."
Gao Renchao, on the other hand, sneered in his heart.
…
After Lu Benwei rejected Liu Qingfeng's kindness, he sent Chu Yan back to the girls' dormitory.
Before entering the Northwind Mountain, Lu Benwei still had to make one last preparation, which was to upgrade his equipment.
Previously, to get him to agree to the duel, Chu Yan had thrown out 500 enhancement stones. To exchange pointers with Chu Yan, Lu Benwei reluctantly accepted it. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂
He went to the equipment upgrade area. The first thing he saw was the dazzling array of equipment in the display cabinet.
Lu Benwei's eyes were dazzled and his heart was extremely shocked.
"The fire equipment set only costs 200,000 hunter coins. It would cost a million gold coins outside, and you might not even be able to buy it!
"There's also the battle-type mutant monster, the wishful staff dropped by the battle ape, which costs 10 million gold coins outside.
"You only need one million hunter coins to get it in school!"
Everything valuable but not on the market could be exchanged with hunter coins at the equipment upgrade area.
There were already quite a few people in the equipment upgrade area.
Many people saw Lu Benwei looking back and forth at the display cabinet like a dog entering the city. They could not help but frown and look at Lu Bingwei in disdain.
"Why is this person acting like a country bumpkin? He has never seen anything precious before?"
"I just saw the school badge. He looks like a freshman."
"He's a first-year. No wonder he's a country bumpkin."
Lu Benwei heard the whispers of contempt from time to time. He ignored them and started to search for his target.
Many people came to the equipment upgrade office to enhance their equipment. There was a long queue in front of every item.
Lu Benwei frowned.
"There are so many people, when will I be able to queue?"
Lu Benwei looked around and found that there was no one in front of the enhancement stone.
"Strange, why isn't there a queue in front of this person? I don't care, he's the one."
Lu Benwei then walked toward the person. This person was an uncle with a messy beard. His entire body was slumped against the chair, and he was sound asleep.
"Uncle, I'm here to enhance my equipment?" Lu Benwei softly called out.
However, his failure to wake up this uncle caused many people to sneer.
"Damn, this freshman actually dared to strengthen his equipment with Tang."
"No wonder he's a new student. He doesn't even know about the black hole in the equipment strengthening area!"
"Save it, first-year," someone reminded him with a sneer. "The enhancer you chose has a very low success rate. It's a waste to choose him!"
"Hey, what are you saying? You're usually very lucky. Maybe you can even break Tang's curse!" someone said in a ridiculing manner.
"You want to break Tang's curse with just a few enhancement stones?"
The two of them echoed each other and attracted many people's attention.
At the same time, Tang was also awoken by the noise. Seeing everyone's reaction, he understood what was going on.
"Student, you can go. It's just a waste of enhancement stones here."
Lu Benwei just smiled faintly and said, "Master Tang, it's fine. I have plenty of enhancement stones."
After saying that, he took out 100 enhancement stones from his storage ring. The ice-white enhancement stones instantly formed a small hill.
The people witnessing this went pale.
"Are you serious?" Old Tang's pupils shrank.
"Master Tang, just enhance it," Lu Benwei lightly said. After saying that, he took out the entire Viper Set.
At the same time, he said, "Master Tang, I'm in a hurry. Please enhance this set of equipment."
Mass-strengthening?!
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes widened and their mouths were agape.
Enhancing equipment was a matter of luck, and even the most powerful enhancer would find it difficult to control the rate of enhancement. If he wanted to strengthen it in batches, the chances would be even lower.
Was this freshman here to be a joke?
Chapter 56
Master Tang looked at Lu Benwei timidly and swallowed his saliva.
"Are you sure?"
The surrounding people also looked at Lu Bingwei in disbelief.
"Yes," Lu Benwei replied lightly. "Master Tang, just do as I say."
Everyone heard this and smiled as they looked at Lu Bingwei with ridicule.
"This first-year student is really stupid but rich."
"The failure rate of Tang's strengthening is close to 100%, and he's strengthening it in batches. Does he have money to spend?"
…
Lu Benwei listened to the ridicule of the people around him and waved his hand to signal Master Tang to continue.
Master Tang swallowed his saliva and took the Viper Set with both hands. The crowd laughed and Master Tang looked at Lu Benwei timidly again.
Seeing that Lu Benwei still had no intention of going back on his word, Tang took out his enhancing hammer.
The equipment enhancement spell was cast. A furnace with a display panel appeared in front of everyone.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Master Tang pushed all 100 enhanced gemstones into the furnace. He struck with the Enhanced Hammer!
Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the Viper Set on the reaction stage. There was no response after three seconds.
…
Ten seconds later, there was still no response.
At this time, there were already quite a few people who let out a few mocking low laughs from time to time.
"I think these 100 enhancement stones are all going to be put in there."
"It's good to have money but no place to spend it on me. Why did they have to turn it into a pile of slag?"
Lu Benwei listened to the ridicule from time to time and smiled.
It was also at this moment, a mechanical sound rang in his ears.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the One-Click Peerless Equipment Support and successfully triggering the 10x enhancement rate!]
All of a sudden, the reaction stage shone brightly. It was so dazzling that everyone could not open their eyes.
Master Tang's extremely shocked voice was heard.
"Did the enhancement succeed? And it's A+10?"
The light dissipated, and everyone looked at the information on the Viper Set on the display panel, their mouths agape.
[Viper Ring +10]
[Viper Boots +10]
[Viper Robe +10]
[Viper Gauntlet +10]
Everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief. However, it was a fact that the entire Viper Set had been enhanced by +10!
"It's fake, right?"
"100 enhancement stones to enhance a set of equipment by +10, even a top enhancer master can't do that, right?"
"Is this kid's luck good, or is Tang hiding something?"
A full set of +10 equipment was a huge boost to a hunter's combat ability! Everyone was green with envy.
Lu Benwei's deep eyes were still calm as he said, "Thank you, Master Tang!"
After saying that, he prepared to put the Viper Set into his bag. As for Master Tang, he was still in shock.
The others looked at the +10 enhanced Viper Set with green eyes and almost drooled.
On the side, Lu Benwei's hands had just touched the Viper Gauntlet. Suddenly, another ray of golden light rose, and it was so dazzling that everyone could not open their eyes.
"This is an equipment blessing?!" someone struggled to open his eyes and exclaimed.
"Damn, isn't this freshman's luck to be heaven-defying?"
"It can actually trigger the equipment blessing!"
Some enhancers with powerful talents could trigger their talents when they enhanced equipment, making the enhanced equipment even more powerful.
Of course, all of this was possible.
A talented enhancer would only be able to trigger a blessing after successfully enhancing thousands or even tens of thousands of pieces of equipment.
All this while, Master Tang's success rate of enhancing equipment was close to zero, and the chances of triggering a blessing were also very few. He was also extremely talented. Otherwise, he would not have stayed at Zhejiang Hunter University.
"I remember Tang's talent is Mad Demon, right?"
Master Tang's colleagues were also watching. They saw that Master Tang not only strengthened Lu Benwei's Viper Set to +10, but also triggered the equipment blessing.
While they were shocked, they were also a little jealous.
"It's just an equipment blessing. I triggered it once five years ago. Am I proud?"
"Come on, you're as talented as Tang. Also, you're almost drooling on me."
At this time, Master Tang's mouth was so wide that it reached the back of his head.
"I was just lucky. I was just lucky."
Lu Benwei activated Eye of Insight and checked the information about Mad Demon.
[Mad Demon]
[When your strength is above 50 percent, increase your strength attribute by 30 percent.]
Lu Benwei smiled faintly. It was a good blessing. Suddenly, he heard the system's notification.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the One-Click Peerless Equipment Support. Your blessing skill has been strengthened by 10 times!]
Lu Benwei was stunned. In the next second, a brilliant light erupted!
Ten rays of light lit up and fell in succession, and everyone opened their eyes.
On the display panel above…
Mad Demon +10]
Everyone was confused.
Blessing enhancement was triggered again when enhancing a piece of existing blessing equipment.
+10 meant that this freshman could increase his strength attribute by 300 percent!
This could no longer be described as luck. He was a heaven-defying existence!
At the same time, everyone looked at Master Tang as if they were looking at an animal. Their eyes were green and they were drooling.
"What are you guys doing?" Master Tang gulped.
Everyone laughed pervertedly in unison.
"Master Tang, if you don't enhance our equipment to Mad Demon today, don't even think about leaving!"
Lu Benwei's heaven-defying luck was not the only reason for this situation, but Master Tang's hidden strength. Everyone could guess that Master Tang was a hidden master of enhancement!
Seeing everyone looking at him as if he was a naked beauty, Master Tang wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I really don't know what's going on."
"Master Tang, stop pretending," everyone said.
"Previously, everyone wasted so many enhancement stones on you, so no one blamed you."
"We won't force you today, as long as you can bless us all once!"
"Bless us once." 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The corners of Master Tang's mouth twitched.
There were thirty to forty people in front of him. Even the Enhanced Hammer might not be able to meet their requirements!
Lu Benwei looked at the scene in front of him, shrugged, and left the equipment upgrade area.
At the same time, Master Tang had also started to enhance the equipment for everyone.
"Enhancement failed!"
" Enhancement failed!"
…
"Enhancement failed!"
The 'enhancement failed' sounds were heard again and again, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Master Tang was dumbfounded.
"Could it be that my method is wrong? It shouldn't be, right?"
Chapter 57
Lu Benwei left the equipment upgrade area and suddenly received a message from Liu Yi.
"You brat, why didn't you tell me that you got such a good weapon?"
Lu Benwei smiled and sent a message back. "Where are you? I'll go find you immediately."
…
In the office.
Liu Yi knew that Lu Benwei was coming and whistled in excitement.
I wonder how much this kid has grown since I last saw him."
Not long after, Lu Benwei arrived at Liu Yi's office.
"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Lu Benwei bowed respectfully.
Liu Yi quickly waved his hand and motioned for Lu Benwei to get up.
"Little Lu, come and sit!"
Lu Benwei sat down on the couch in Liu Yi's office.
Liu Yi sat opposite him and asked, "Little brat, you've just made quite a big scene!"
"The intensity of your battle is rare for your age group."
After a pause, Liu Yi continued, "You and the principal are really something. You took the Divine Sword of Destruction from the Musashi tower without telling me. If I didn't see the video, I don't know how long I'd have been kept in the dark by you."
Liu Yi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Lu Benwei smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that Liu Yi was jealous.
"Alright, I also used the Lightning Speed you gave me." Lu Benwei comforted me.
"If it wasn't for Lightning Speed, I wouldn't have been able to dodge so many skills."
When Liu Yi heard this, his aura eased up a little.
"Alright," he continued, "I didn't ask you to come for anything. I just wanted to give you something."
He then took out a red card and placed it on the coffee table.
"What's this?"
Lu Benwei's eyes lit up. He felt that this thing was familiar.
Liu Yi stroked his beard and chuckled. "Do you know our school's Combat Simulation Training Center? Although it will only increase your level by a small amount, it may accumulate your actual combat experience. It will be of great help to you."
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched, and he said, "Mr. Liu, I won't hide it from you. The principal had already given me an access card to the combat Simulation Training Center."
"What?" Liu Yi said in shock. The next second, he said angrily, "Am I your teacher or is he your teacher?"
When Lu Benwei heard this, he wanted to slap himself. 'I said the wrong thing again...'
"Forget it. Since you got the access card, did you go?" Liu Yi asked.
"I went."
"What's your score?"
In front of Liu Yi, Lu Benwei did not want to show weakness, so he said, "Three days, a hundred kills!"
"Hundred kills?" Liu Yi was truly shocked.
Within three days, the achievement of a hundred kills was unprecedented!
Liu Yi laughed out loud, and the wrinkles on his face deepened with his smile.
"Good boy, well done!" Liu Yi patted Lu Benwei's shoulder and praised him.
Lu Benwei felt like his bones were about to fall apart and quickly changed the topic.
"Mr. Liu, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Liu Yi stopped patting Lu Benwei's shoulder.
"I want to become stronger!"
"That's a good thing!"
Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed and he solemnly said, "I want to go to Northwind Mountain."
When Liu Yi heard this, his face immediately darkened.
"Little Lu, are you at level 18 or level 19 now? It's still too dangerous for you to enter Northwind Mountain." 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝑟𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Northwind Mountain was filled with danger, and the minimum level required for a hunter was level 30.
Lu Benwei's strength was far beyond his peers. However, it was not difficult to cross 10 levels and enter Northwind Mountain without being hurt!
Liu Yi considered it for a moment. "Little Lu, I think you should go to the mystic realm around here and slowly train. If you want to enter Northwind Mountain, you'll have to at least be level 23," he said.
Lu Benwei's deep eyes were still calm.
"Mr. Liu, I know you want me to take it slow. But I can't wait any longer. I have to become stronger!"
"I know you're doing this for your sister, Lu Ziling, but the Divine Fire can't be tamed in a short time." Liu Yi tried to dissuade him.
"Besides, it's still too early for the backlash of the Divine Fire to happen. Your level is too low now. Going to Northwind Mountain is a dead end for you."
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Benwei's body suddenly exploded with a terrifying aura.
A green light suddenly appeared. Lu bingwei put on the full Viper Set.
[Mad Demon blessing +10]
[Health points above 50 percent, strength increased by 300 percent]
With the Ancient Sword of Clarity in hand, all his attributes were increased!
Liu Yi was dumbfounded. "Your four attributes are comparable to level 25! How did you do it?" Liu Yi exclaimed.
"It's a secret." Lu Benwei smiled.
Liu Yi did not ask any more questions. He then thought about it seriously.
Lu Benwei's attributes were now comparable to a level 25 hunter. In addition to his insane enhancement skills, he could walk around Northwind Mountain.
He said, "Alright. Since you want to go, you can go. But you have to promise me that you won't fight with them head-on if you encounter extremely dangerous monsters."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Liu. I'll be careful." Lu Benwei cupped his hands.
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a creak. The door to Liu Yi's office was quietly opened. Immediately after, the two people in the room smelled the faint scent of flowers.
Chu Yan stuck her head out and said, "I want to go too."
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched when he heard this.
"Chu Yan, it's very dangerous there, don't follow me."
Who knew that Lu Benwei would immediately suffer Chu Yan's eye roll?
"Narcissist, who's following you?" Chu Yan said with her hands on her hips and her chest out.
"I was looking for Mr. Liu to tell him that I wanted to go to Northwind Mountain as well. Who knew that you would be here as well?"
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched.
Going to Northwind Mountain was everyone's freedom, so Chu Yan was right.
Then, Chu Yan turned to Liu Yi and said, "Mr. Liu, you're biased!"
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment before he said, "How am I biased?"
Chu Yan crossed her arms. "Don't think I don't know. You won a lot of epic skill scrolls at the weapons pavilion. You even gave one to the annoying fellow."
Liu Yi was speechless.
"None of the five skill scrolls are suitable for you, otherwise, I'd have given them to you a long time ago," he said after a moment of silence.
Chu Yan continued to bug him and said arrogantly, " I don't care. I just want an epic scroll. Otherwise, I'll drop out of school!
Liu Yi laughed. "Haha."
After being stunned for a while, Liu Yi finally said, "Alright, I'll find you a suitable epic skill scroll after you return from Northwind Mountain."
Chu Yan laughed proudly when she heard this. "Then I'll take my leave first!"
Then, Chu Yan skipped out of the office.
Lu Benwei and Liu Yi looked at Chu Yan's back and spread out their hands helplessly.
It was not over. Chu Yan stuck her head out from the door again. Her beautiful face was like a painting hanging on the wall.
"Annoying fellow, I admit that I want to enter Northwind Mountain to train with you. Let me go back and pack my things. We'll meet at the school's teleportation array in half an hour."
Chapter 58
Lu Benwei and Liu Yi chatted for a while and then looked at the time. He found that there were still a few minutes left until the time Chu Yan had set. Hence, he bid farewell to Liu Yi.
After Lu Benwei left, Liu Yi sat down at his desk.
"We've really recruited two living ancestors this year! However, it's worth it to revive Zhejiang Hunter University."
After reading the documents for a while, Liu Yi felt a little sleepy. So, he rested on the table for a while. The sound of an urgent phone ringing woke Liu Yi up.
"It's from the central administrative office. These guys are so bored all day long. Why would they suddenly call me?"
After Liu Yi complained, he picked up the phone. There was a burst of panting from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Liu, bad news. There's a problem in Northwind Mountain. Please inform all the students that they aren't allowed to go there."
Liu Yi's expression changed drastically. "What's wrong with Northwind Mountain?"
"According to the person in charge of one of the strongholds at the front line, there might be a monster tide in Northwind Mountain!" The man gulped.
"After a secret evaluation, the level might reach Tiger level! Currently, all communications with Northwind Mountain have been cut off. The military suspects that it's the work of monsters!
Liu Yi's pupils suddenly shrank. He immediately hung up the phone and called Lu Benwei.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable."
Liu Yi hung up and called again and again. After a few times, he finally accepted the fact that Lu Benwei and Chu Yan had arrived at Northwind Mountain.
Liu Yi leaned back on the chair powerlessly and finally muttered something, "Tiger level… That's a monster horde that can destroy a town!
…
Northwind Mountain, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang Hunter University base.
Most of the monsters in Northwind Mountain were above average in strength. It was extremely dangerous. It was also a good place to level up and obtain equipment.
At the same time, it was also open to the public. The Zhejiang Hunter University was just a base here.
At the center of the dot, the teleportation array glowed. In the arena, many people's eyes were attracted by the light.
"Which great god has come to school this time?"
"I hope it's an expert or a beauty."
"Come on, what beauty? The environment of Northwind Mountain is terrible. All the female juniors in school have gone to the lakeside of the Oasis with a good environment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan came out of the light. She was wearing a simple casual outfit and a cap. Even so, it was still possible to tell that she was a tall, slender, and graceful girl. Just a simple glance was enough to leave a deep impression.
Everyone's eyes lit up and many of them were eager to invite Chu Yan to go with them. However, when a man came out from behind the light, everyone's faces fell.
On the boy's chest was the school badge of Zhejiang Hunter University. It was the same for the girl. It was obvious that the man and woman had come together.
Chu Yan stood on the teleportation platform and looked down. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Who's the person in charge here?"
"I am!" After a long time, someone finally came back to his senses and said,
After the person in charge responded, Chu Yan and Lu Benwei got off the teleportation platform one after another.
The crowd unconsciously made way for Chu Yan. At the same time, they looked at Lu Bingwei with resentment.
Lu Benwei went to the person in charge.
"We want to enter the Northwind Mountain now. Do we need to register?" Lu Benwei asked.
"Of course!" The person in charge nodded.
"According to the school's rules, only those who have joined the team can enter Northwind Mountain."
"Huh?" Lu benwei was dumbfounded. "I've never heard of this rule before. How did it suddenly appear?"
"It's because Northwind Mountain hasn't been peaceful recently," the supervisor explained. "It's also to ensure the safety of the students."
"Look at our school's base. There are many students there, and many social hunters want to rest. It's easy to form a team."
Lu Benwei frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The person in charge asked, "Oh right, what's your age? What's your class?"
"We're both freshmen. I'm an elementalist, and he's a magician," Chu Yan said proudly.
At this time, many big men were coveting Chu Yan's beauty. Hearing that Chu Yan had a hidden profession, their expressions changed.
All of the hidden professions were extremely powerful. Who would not want to recruit such a beautiful and powerful little girl into their team?
Everyone's attitude toward Lu Benwei was obviously more playful.
"Are you sure you're not here to look at the scenery?"
"I thought this guy was a god-level babysitter, but in the end, he's just a useless magician."
The crowd's sneers could be heard.
Some people stepped forward and said to Chu Yan, "Pretty lady, join our team. This kid is just a magician, he's useless!
"Don't listen to him, pretty lady. Pair up with us. Our captain is a level 35 warrior. He can be a human shield in front of you!"
Chu Yan turned a deaf ear and asked Lu Benwei, "Annoying fellow, what are you thinking?"
"Chu Yan, are you interested in forming a team?" Lu Benwei smiled faintly.
Chu Yan's eyes lit up. "Form a team? Yay!" Then, she patted Lu Benwei's back.
When the surrounding people heard that Lu Benwei wanted to form a team, they immediately pointed at him and laughed. It was very harsh to the ears.
"This magician actually wants to form a team, did I hear wrong?"
"Don't tell me you want to know the conditions to form a team?"
The person in charge looked at Lu Bingwei and the others with a bitter smile.
"Fellow students, there are certain conditions to form a team. The conditions are harsh, and even the fourth-year seniors may not be able to become the team leader."
"What condition?" Lu Benwei and Chu Yan asked at the same time.
The person in charge shrugged and said with a bitter smile, "Do you know about the Simulation Combat Training Center in our school?"
Before the person in charge could finish, someone ridiculed him.
"This magician probably doesn't even know where the actual Simulation Combat Training Center is."
Lu benwei glanced at the man and continued, "I know, I even went inside."
"You even went to do a simulation?" The person in charge was slightly shocked.
However, he quickly said indifferently, "A few dozen kills in a simulated battle isn't enough to meet the requirements to become a team leader. If you want to be the team leader, you must at least achieve the achievement of killing 70 kills in a row!"
Lu Benwei smiled indifferently and took out his student card.
"Teacher, please check my results."
The person in charge took Lu Benwei's student card and felt a little strange. He already said that a few kills or a dozen kills would not make him a team leader.
"You're a magician, and a freshman at that, yet you want to achieve a score of seventy kills?"
However, when Lu Benwei's results were out, he was stunned!
Chapter 59
The person in charge just pulled out Lu Benwei's information from the database.
On the display panel, Lu Benwei's information and simulation results were displayed.
[Name: Lu Benwei]
[Grade: First year]
[Class: Magician]
[Mock score: 100]
The person in charge rubbed his eyes hard and realized that he was not mistaken. The next second, he looked at Lu Benwei in disbelief.
A first-year student could achieve a hundred kills. Furthermore, he's a magician!
Shocking!
Terrifying!
It was unbelievable!
The surrounding crowd saw this scene and looked at each other in confusion.
Then, someone curiously stepped forward and looked at the display panel in front of the person in charge.
"What?" after seeing Lu Benwei's information and simulation results, he immediately exclaimed.
Like the person in charge, he immediately rubbed his eyes. Then, he took a closer look at the photo. He found that Lu Benwei's photo was the same as the kid in front of him. The man's face immediately turned red.
He was the one who mocked Lu Benwei for not even knowing where the actual combat Simulation Training Center was.
Now that he had been slapped in the face, not only did his face hurt, but he also looked at Lu Benwei and wanted to find a hole to hide in.
The others also came over, and when they saw the eye-catching hundred kills score, their jaws dropped.
"What kind of monsters are the new students this year?"
"If a magician can achieve a hundred kills, then how terrifying is the elementalist with him?"
At this time, Lu Benwei asked, "May I ask if I have the qualifications to form a team?"
The person in charge nodded and said, "You're qualified, you're qualified!"
"Lu Benwei, have you thought of a name for your team?" the person in charge asked.
Before Lu Benwei could speak, Chu Yan said, "Let's call it 'What Chu Yan Said is the Correct team'."
The person in charge was speechless.
Lu Benwei was speechless.
"What's wrong? Isn't it interesting to have this name?" Chu Yan asked with her hands on her hips.
The person in charge's mouth twitched. "It's interesting, but the team leader is Lu Benwei. I want to hear his opinion first."
Chu Yan patted her chest and said, "There's no need to ask. My opinion is his opinion."
The person in charge looked at Lu Benwei. Lu Benwei nodded slightly, and the person in charge let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he entered his information on the registration computer.
[Team name: What Chu Yan Said is Correct]
[Captain: Lu Benwei]
[Team member: Chu Yan]
The team had already been established, and the person in charge said, "Alright, it's been established. Now, I need to tell you some things to take note of."
Lu Benwei nodded and motioned for the person in charge to continue. The person in charge brought Lu Benwei and Chu Yan into a small room.
"First of all, as the captain, Lu Benwei should prioritize the lives of his team members," the person in charge explained.
"I understand," Lu Benwei said.
"Also, you guys need some help."
…
After about half an hour, the explanation finally ended.
"Alright, I've explained what I wanted to say," the person in charge said at the end, "Do you have any other questions? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan raised her hand.
"I would like to ask, other than our school having a team system, do other schools or other hunters have similar systems?"
"Of course," the person in charge replied, "the hunters in other schools and society are the same as us. They have a team system. After all, it's too dangerous to enter the Northwind Mountains alone."
Chu Yan nodded to show that she understood.
"How are the teams in Northwind Mountain like? Is there any team made up of strong hunters?" Lu Benwei asked.
"Of course!" the person in charge replied with a smile.
Then, he placed a stack of information on the display panel. Lu Benwei looked up and carefully read the person in charge's information.
"This information isn't a secret. For example, look at this team called Storm. The captain is from your school," the person in charge explained.
"They are the star team of the Northwind Mountain. Each of their members is stronger than the last. They always help other teams when they are in danger and are loved by many hunters."
Lu Benwei looked at the information of the team called "Storm" and found that their vice-captain was Liu Qingfeng, who had helped him before.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. It sounded like the crowd outside was cheering for something.
"You really get what you want," the person in charge said, "With this reaction, I can tell that it's a celebrity team."
Not only the base of Zhejiang Hunter University protected the students of Zhejiang Hunter University, but also some community hunters or students from other schools. However, they had to pay a fee.
As a result, there were many social hunters in the base. The star teams were usually very strong. Getting close to them was equivalent to having an extra guarantee in the dangerous Northwind Mountain. Therefore, the arrival of a star team could often cause a big commotion.
Lu Benwei walked out and saw that the field was already filled with people, forming a human wall.
"It's Hai Yue's team!"
"Hai Yue's team, please take me in!"
"Do you still remember me? You saved me from the monster last month!"
"Hai Yue's team, this is my family's specialty. Not only is it healthy and delicious, but it also has the effect of extending one's lifespan. Quickly accept it!"
…
Even if he was not the person involved, Lu Benwei could feel the enthusiasm of the crowd.
He could not help but sigh. "When will my team be able to reach such a glorious level?"
Lu Benwei was stunned and turned to look at Chu Yan. Chu Yan was holding a lollipop in her mouth when she saw Lu Benwei suddenly looking at her.
"Do you want to eat it? Call me big sister," she said.
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched and then he sighed. Right now, there were only two people in his team, and it did not seem like they could be glorious.
At this moment, the human wall in front of him suddenly stirred.
"The other members of Hai Yue's team have all returned to the hotel to rest. Why isn't Miss Hai Yue back yet?"
"Did I see it wrong? Miss Hai Yue is walking toward us."
"Damn, she's really walking toward us." 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Miss Hai Yue, I love you. I'm willing to be your slave for all eternity!"
"Miss Hai Yue, please marry me. In the future, our child will take your surname."
Hai Yue did not respond to the group of hunters' solicitous attitude. Instead, she asked in a magnetic voice, "May I ask who Lu Benwei is? I just heard someone say that he's here."
Lu Benwei was stunned.
The leader of Hai Yue's team was actually a lady. In addition, she had actually come here to find him.
Chapter 60
Hai Yue was wearing a tight-fitting combat suit, which showed off her 1.7-meter height and curvaceous figure.
Her skin was creamy, her eyes were watery, and she was a peerless beauty. Her beauty was so captivating that one would never forget after one look! No wonder she had provoked a group of men to confess their love in public.
"I'm Lu Benwei," Lu Benwei replied lightly.
Hai Yue's beautiful eyes shifted to Lu Benwei and said, "You're Lu Benwei, a freshman at Zhejiang Hunter University.
Lu Benwei nodded slightly.
"Miss Hai Yue, is there anything I can help you with?"
"You're just a magician, yet you're able to achieve 100 kills in a simulated battle. That's impressive," Hai Yue suddenly said.
Lu Benwei was not surprised that Hai Yue knew some of his information.
"Miss Hai Yue, are you also a student of Zhejiang Hunter University?" Lu Benwei asked.
"No." Hai Yue shook her head.
"Every time a team is formed, every team leader will receive some information about the other team leaders."
After a pause, she continued, "Let's cut to the chase. Our team is lacking a supporter. Are you interested?"
Everyone was stunned by her words.
Hai Yue had extended an olive branch to Lu Benwei. One had to know that Hai Yue was the goddess in their hearts. She was also very powerful.
Many people dreamed of joining Hai Yue's team and now they were envious of Lu Benwei.
However, they all knew that Lu Benwei also had the strength to join Hai Yue's team. Everyone's eyes turned to Lu Benwei and stared at him with envious eyes.
"Thank you for your invitation, Miss Hai Yue. You know that I have a team now," Lu Benwei said lightly.
Hearing this, Hai Yue smiled charmingly.
"It's a team, but it's impossible for you to run it by yourself. Why don't you join my team?"
"Miss Hai Yue, thank you for your invitation, but what I do is my own business." Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed as he interrupted Hai Yue.
Hai Yue was stunned for a moment before she let out a long sigh. Her proud chest heaved up and down with her long breath.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you. I hope you'll be lucky in Northwind Mountain."
After saying that, Hai Yue turned around and left.
Lu Benwei turned around and found that Chu Yan was looking at him with resentment. "What's with that look?"
"Miss Hai Yue…" Chu Yan said softly, "She's never been so considerate when she calls me. Are you going to leave me behind and join their team after tonight?"
Lu Benwei did not know whether to laugh or cry. "This is basic courtesy. Besides, why didn't I just agree to her request?"
After listening to Lu Benwei's explanation, Chu Yan finally gave up. After that, the two of them went to the hotel in the base to rest.
The next day, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan entered Northwind Mountain together.
Northwind Mountain was a place with high mountains and steep peaks. The sea environment was cruel, and the mountainside was covered in snow all year round. It was named so because of the biting cold northern wind that blew all year round.
After leaving the Citadel, the temperature dropped below freezing.
Both of them were wearing thick battle uniforms. Even so, it still made the two of them shiver at the same time.
"Annoying fellow, where's our target?" Chu Yan's ears and cheeks were red from the cold.
Lu Benwei looked ahead and pointed. "Let's head to the main peak of Northwind Mountain. We'll take one step at a time."
His goal was simple, and that was to level up his experience points. Having no goal was the best goal.
The two of them walked side by side for less than an hour before they encountered the first wave of monsters.
Eye of Insight activated!
The information about the monster was instantly transferred into Lu Benwei's brain.
[Wasteland Wolf x10]
[Level: 19]
[Alpha Wolf: Wasteland Wind Wolf]
[Level: 20]
[The most common monster at the foot of Northwind Mountain. Although it is at the bottom of the monster population in Northwind Mountain, it lives in packs. A pack of 10 Wasteland Wolves is comparable to a level-30 monster!] 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂
[Wasteland Wolves usually attack with their fangs and claws, while Wasteland Wind Wolves attack with wind elements.]
The eyes of this pack of wolves glowed with a strange green light. Their fangs were exposed, and thick liquid flowed out.
When ordinary people saw a pack of wolves in the wilderness, they would have long fled.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan's eyes lit up.
"Woohoo, I can finally fight! As long as I fight, my body will heat up," Chu Yan said excitedly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Benwei's blood boiled. In the next second, his body was like a cannonball, blasting out.
In the air, Lu Benwei changed into the Viper Set and Mad Demon +10 was triggered! Health points above 50 percent, and strength increased by 300 percent.
A wasteland wolf let out a strange howl and pounced forward. Lu Benwei's first landed on its front paw.
The tyrannical righteous force instantly gushed out, circulating the front claws of the wasteland wolf and spreading to its entire body.
"Pfft!"
On the spot, the wasteland wolf turned into a bloody pulp. Blood splattered everywhere, some even landing on Chu Yan's face.
Chu Yan was slightly shocked. A level-19 monster was killed with one punch. What a terrifying physical strength!
After taking a deep breath, Chu Yan used magic to kill two wolves.
Then, there was another loud noise. The Wasteland Wind Wolf had been torn to pieces by Lu Benwei. The other wolves also could not escape from Lu Benwei's hands.
Chu Yan was once again surprised by Lu Benwei's strength.
Just based on physical strength alone, even monsters of a higher level could not compete with it.
With skills, even the new Hunter Special Combat Class students would not be Lu Benwei's opponent.
The previous expert only took advantage of Lu Benwei's energy deficiency after the battle with her.
"Annoying fellow, you're getting more and more interesting," Chu Yan muttered to herself behind Lu Benwei.
After that, the two of them continued to hunt and accumulate experience.
Lu Benwei leveled up three times in a day.
…
Northwind Mountain, main peak.
Steep cliffs, rugged roads, criss-crossing cliffs, yellow cranes flying over, and monkeys climbing over.
The environment was so harsh that even monsters rarely set foot in it.
A rock sheep-type monster that had entered by mistake was looking for food in the cracks.
Suddenly, a violent wind started to blow. The northern wind whistled, like a knife cutting its skin.
After the wind stopped, the air temperature began to drop rapidly again. Every breath it took felt like it was inhaling ice.
Then, snow and ice erupted, thunder rumbled, and snow the size of goose feathers swirled.
The sky rumbled, and a huge bird-type monster descended from the sky, gliding around the main peak. When it spread its wings, it could even cover the sky.
Then, it transformed into a handsome man and entered a cave on the main peak.
"Sorry for the long wait, everyone. It's time to settle the score with the humans!"
Chapter 61
Northwind Mountain, the end of the outer peaks.
The cold northern wind was like a knife, cutting Lu Benwei's skin. Chu Yan's little face was also red from the scratches.
Chu Yan let out a breath and asked, "Annoying fellow, how did you level up so quickly?"
Lu Benwei had leveled up three times since he started hunting monsters. He was originally at level 19, but after a period of hunting, Lu Benwei's level was now the same as Chu Yan.
Lu Benwei did not answer directly but asked, "How far away are you from level 23?"
Chu Yan pondered for a while and replied, "I'll probably be able to level up after killing two more level-25 monsters or one more level-30 monster."
The monsters in this area of Northwind Mountain were all around level 20. There were very few level-25 monsters.
Killing only level-20 monsters would not increase their levels much.
"We can't go on like this," Lu Benwei said, "Let's go to the central area."
Chu Yan nodded and followed Lu Benwei.
…
In Northwind Mountain, in the base camp of the Zhejiang Hunter University, a group of people came from another camp. They were still young, but no one dared to look down on them.
"It's been really lively these few days."
"There was Hai Yue's team before, and today, the elites of the new Hunter Special Combat Class of the Zhejiang Hunter University are here too."
"The monsters in the vicinity will have to rest in peace for a while."
"I still remember yesterday, there was a new student from Zhejiang Hunter University who formed a team in this base."
"He's so young, yet he's already forming a team. His future achievements will be extraordinary!"
There were seven people from the Hunter Special Combat Class here. Mo Tianyu and Gao Renchao were among them.
Hearing everyone's discussion, they looked at each other.
"Boss, I'll go ask them," Mo Tianyu said. Mo Tianyu walked to the front of the crowd.
"Guys, is the new student of Zhejiang Hunter University called Lu Benwei? " Mo Tianyu asked indifferently.
"I think that's his name," someone replied quickly, "There's a very beautiful girl beside him."
Mo Tianyu's eyes flashed with a cold light. After thanking him, he immediately returned to Gao Renchao's side.
"Boss, I've confirmed it."
"It's Lu Benwei and Chu Yan," Mo Tianyu said coldly.
Gao Renchao smiled noncommittally and then snorted coldly.
"Liu Qingfeng will protect you in school. I ran into you here. Let's see how you're going to run this time."
Gao Renchao's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"If it wasn't for the fact that I was on a mission in Northwind Mountain, and the fact that the date of the freshmen tournament was changed at the last minute, would the first and second place of the freshmen tournament be the two of you?" he muttered to himself coldly.
"A magician wants to trample on a hunter? In your dreams!"
When Gao Renchao said that, the people around him could feel the killing intent from his body.
Someone accidentally met his gaze and immediately felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"How did Lu Benwei provoke this expert?" Many people were confused.
In previous years, the top three of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hunter University freshmen tournaments belonged to the Hunter Special Combat Class.
This year, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan suddenly appeared and won first and second place in the freshmen tournament. Compared to Chu Yan, who won first place, Gao Renchao was more dissatisfied with Lu Benwei.
During the competition, Lu Benwei not only gained points at an insane speed, but he also stole the limelight from the Hunter Special Combat Class. In the final stage of the elimination round, he had even defeated Mo Tianyu in an instant.
What was more difficult to say was that Lu Benwei was a magician. It was the most useless class among all combat-related classes.
They had no combat power and their leveling speed was the last among all the classes. It was not even as good as a lifestyle class.
However, this magician, whom everyone looked down on, had stepped on the head of the Hunter Special Combat Class and advanced to the finals.
At the same time, Lu Benwei was given high hopes by the school.
As the strongest person in the Hunter Special Combat Class, Gao Renchao could not take this lying down.
Gao Ren Chao patted Mo Tianyu's shoulder and said, "I'll go again and find out which direction Lu Benwei and Chu Yan went."
Mo Tianyu nodded and left without another word.
…
On the other side, Lu Benwei had already entered the central area of Northwind Mountain. Unlike the howling cold wind outside, the central area was covered in a thick layer of fog.
Lu Benwei did not dare to be careless. He focused and slowly explored forward.
"Hu!"
A light gasp of hot water hit the back of Lu Benwei's neck.
Lu Benwei did not even turn his head and said patiently, "Don't mess around!"
A sinister and strange laugh was heard. This laughter did not belong to Chu Yan! It was right behind him.
Lu Benwei suddenly woke up and jumped forward with big steps. He pulled a great distance away from the strange figure behind him.
Eye of Insight was instantly activated.
[Mist Woman]
[Level: 29]
[Able to use fog to confuse enemies. Skills include Ice Poison, Water Impact, etc! ]
Lu Benwei touched the back of his neck and found a pool of blue-green liquid.
"Ice Poison?" Lu Benwei sneered.
"What a pity, my venomous Viper Set can already resist 90 percent of poison attacks!"
Lu Benwei finished off Mist Woman with three punches.
The mist then dissipated by more than half.
Lu Benwei's pupils shrink. The ground was littered with corpses.
"This definitely couldn't have been killed by a Mist Woman," Lu Benwei exclaimed.
The corpses on the ground were numerous and tragic. Some of them were frozen into pieces, while some of them were bitten, and a large part of their bodies was missing.
There were even some that were unrecognizable, looking like a pile of mud. Their blood had long dried up and was stuck to the trees on the ground.
Lu Benwei took a deep breath and made a bold guess.
The time of death for this group of people was the same, but they were not killed by the claws and teeth of the same monster.
At this moment, a familiar shout could be heard. "Annoying fellow, where are you?"
It was Chu Yan. Lu Benwei went over.
On the other side, some clues were found in many bases.
Since yesterday, all the teleportation arrays had been broken. At the same time, any message could not be sent out. Even the bases could not communicate with each other.
At first, they did not pay much attention to it, thinking that it was caused by the harsh environment. After a while, it would be fine.
However, they soon realized that very few people who went hunting for monsters in the base had returned.
He finally noticed something. The outer base was shrouded in the legendary demonic qi.
The person in charge of Zhejiang Hunter University made a quick decision.
"Attention all staff members! Do everything you can to recall all the students!"
Chapter 62
Lu Benwei finally found Chu Yan.
"Annoying fellow, are you alright?" Chu Yan saw Lu Benwei and immediately asked with concern.
"I'm fine. What about you? What happened?" Lu Benwei immediately replied.
Chu Yan shook her head and pointed in a direction. "Look over there first."
Lu Benwei looked in the direction she was pointing. As expected, Chu Yan's situation was the same as his.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground in front of them, and it was a tragic sight.
Lu Benwei also realized that he could not contact the outside world. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
Looking at the equipment of this group of people, they were all above level 25 when they were alive.
"This is the central area. It's not to the point where everyone will die," Lu Benwei said while thinking.
Chu Yan's expression was calm as if she had seen through everything.
"Do you know what's going on?" Lu Benwei asked.
"I'm guessing it's a demonic monster," Chu Yan said, her hand supporting her chin.
Demonic monster?! Lu Benwei was shocked. Then, he realized that this was the only explanation.
Demonic monsters were not ordinary monsters. They were the most powerful of all ferocious monsters and posed the greatest threat to humans.
It was rumored that it was because of their arrival that the catacombs of other dimensions were brought to the world. That was why humans were forced to enter an era where everyone changed their occupations.
In reality, humans were no match for monsters at the same level. However, the demonic monsters should be living deep within the secret realm, so why would they suddenly appear to kill humans?
After heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Benwei said in a deep voice, "Chu Yan, we can't stay here for long. I think we should return to the camp as soon as possible."
Chu Yan nodded. "Yes. No matter what, this group of monsters isn't only large in number, but their levels are also high. They may be far above level 30!"
The two of them agreed and left. After walking for about four or five miles, Lu Benwei suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yan asked.
"Pay attention, there seems to be the sound of battle." Lu Benwei made a gesture to keep quiet.
The two of them calmed their hearts and listened carefully.
"Captain, you should leave quickly!"
"As many as we can!"
His voice was very low, but Lu Benwei and Chu Yan could hear the anxiety and despair in his tone.
After identifying the location, Lu Benwei hurriedly said, "Over there, let's go." They immediately strode in that direction. When the two of them got closer, they saw that the man was very close to them.
They discovered that the people who were surrounded were Hai Yue's team.
Hai Yue's team was facing two lizard-like humanoid monsters that were less than 1.5 meters tall.
In the team, only Miss Hai Yue and three other members were left.
Eye of Insight activated!
The information about the two monsters was instantly ready.
[Monster: Demonic lizard]
[Level: 25]
[Lizard-type monster, powerful, attack and defense in one. Its only weakness is fire!]
At this moment, one of the demonic lizards was entangled with Hai Yue. It had the upper hand and was gradually forcing Hai Yue into a corner.
The other one was stepping on a pretty healer of the team, sticking out its long tongue that was covered in saliva and licking her face.
The remaining two members were both heavily injured, and they looked at the lizard-like monster with fiery red eyes.
Lu Benwei saw this and immediately held the Ancient Sword of Clarity. He wanted to use the Divine Sword of Destruction.
Thinking that the powerful force could definitely hurt the healer, Lu Benwei kept away the Ancient Sword of Clarity.
Myriad Light Fist exploded!
The white fists that covered the sky and the earth converged into one and blasted toward the demonic lizard. The demonic lizard gently flicked its tail.
Myriad Light Fist was scattered like smoke. Taking advantage of this gap, the healer of Hai Yue's team pulled away from the demonic lizard.
Hai Yue noticed the movement and was slightly surprised.
"Lu Benwei?"
"Chu Yan?"
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were only freshmen at Zhejiang Hunter University, but they were able to make it here. It was unbelievable.
"Lu Benwei, be careful. These two are level-25 monsters close to gold."
Apart from the normal classification of levels, monsters also had another system of classification of strength.
Level 10 was bronze, level 20 was silver, level 30 was gold, level 40 was diamond, and level 50 was monster king.
Compared to demonic monsters of the same level, silver demonic monsters were more powerful, comparable to hunters of level 30! Furthermore, some silver monsters were not weaker than level-40 hunters!
Hai Yue was at level 32, and she was barely able to keep one of them busy. However, the strength of the remaining members could not compete with the monster at all.
"Lu Benwei, hurry up and go!"
Thinking that Lu Benwei might only be around level 20, Hai Yue felt that he was a burden.
"You're no match for these two monsters!" Hai Yue said with a serious expression.
Lu Benwei directly used a healing skill on her. In an instant, Hai Yue was enveloped by a warm and soft light. A warm current spread through her entire skin, and her blood volume returned to its peak state.
In the next second, Hai Yue instantly pulled away from the demonic lizard.
"What a terrifying healing skill!" Hai Yue exclaimed. 𝒍𝓲𝙗𝒓𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝙘𝒐𝓶
"A healing skill recovered all of my strength. This must have cost you a lot, right?" Not only did Hai Yue not show any gratitude, but she also rebuked him.
In her understanding, a magician in his early twenties with a skill that could recover an astonishing amount of health must have its backlash.
Even if Lu Benwei's talent was high in her eyes, it was impossible for him to not have a backlash.
To these two powerful monsters, the only difference was whether they died faster or later.
In her eyes, Lu Benwei had completely become a burden. However, this powerful healing skill was only Lu Benwei's Minor Healing.
After letting out a heavy sigh, Hai Yue said sadly, "Xiaoyan, you guys take them and leave first."
"As far as I can go," she said after a pause. Xiaoyan was the healer that Lu Benwei had just saved, and her status in Hai Yue's team was not low.
"But what about you?" she asked.
"I'll stall them. You'll know if they're dead or alive when you get out." Hai Yue's voice carried a hint of despair.
At this moment, two strange and unrestrained laughter could be heard.
"Don't waste your energy. You're all my good food."
"Stop struggling, little beauties, and obediently serve our lord!"
The two demonic lizards spoke in the human language and stared at all the women in the crowd with greedy eyes. They raised their hands in front of their chests and kept rubbing in the air.
"Hehe, Big Brother, now that there's another beauty, how do you think we should split her?" The demonic lizard who looked shorter laughed pervertedly.
The big brother of the demonic lizard stretched out its long tongue with thick saliva and licked his lips lustfully as if it was tasting a delicious meal.
"We'll take one each of those two pretty ones. The remaining one will be our slave and serve us." After saying that, it laughed out loud.
"Good idea!" the demonic lizard underling replied and continued, "But let's make this clear first. I want that beautiful woman who came later."
After it finished speaking, it looked at Chu Yan with a lustful gaze and swept its gaze over her body.
Chu Yan shuddered and almost vomited the meal she had the night before.
At this time, Lu Benwei decided to make a move.
Chapter 63
He had just taken a step forward. Lu Benwei's movements were noticed by the two demonic lizards.
"You're the one who hit me, aren't you?" the younger demonic lizard demon asked in a frivolous tone.
"It seems that the woman who came later has a good relationship with you. Hehe!"
After a series of perverted laughter, the demonic lizard continued, "Kid, I'll give you a chance to keep your corpse intact. Clean up the little girls that came later, take off their clothes, tie them up, and bring them to me. Then, I'll leave your corpse intact."
Lu Benwei frowned slightly, and his stomach churned. Such a disgusting monster could not be left alive!
At this moment, Lu Benwei felt an extremely hot wave of heat on his back. He instantly reacted and made way for the angry Chu Yan.
The moment he dodged, a fire dragon was shot toward the demonic lizard. The temperature was extremely hot, roasting this part of the world.
Everyone felt the temperature rise suddenly.
Then, the fire dragon that could destroy space instantly wrapped around the demonic lizard. The extremely high temperature instantly evaporated all the water in its body. The next second, a burning flame burned every inch of its skin.
Lu Benwei blinked his eyes. The demonic lizard had already turned into a piece of charcoal.
Everyone was stunned. What kind of powerful magic was this that could instantly kill a monster that was close to gold rank?
Then, Chu Yan's eyes narrowed and were filled with death as she looked at the remaining demonic lizard. After it saw Chu Yan's power, large beads of sweat fell like rain and its body trembled.
If she could instantly kill its younger brother, she could naturally instantly kill it as well!
"Plop!"
The demonic lizard knelt. "Great one, please spare me. We have eyes but failed to recognize such an expert."
Lu Benwei wanted to find out the reason from him. However, just as he took a step forward, he heard a cold and clear voice.
"Combustion!"
"Boom!"
The demonic lizard that was kneeling on the ground instantly became a roasted lizard. The duration was less than a second and it was completely turned into a charred corpse.
The air was filled with a thick burning smell.
"A general concept of magic?"
Everyone on Hai Yue's team had their mouths wide open. Their eyes were wide open as they spoke in disbelief.
Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed. This was the first time he had heard of concept magic.
"What's a magic concept?" Lu Benwei asked.
When Hai Yue heard this, she looked at him with a complicated expression. "You don't even know the concept of magic? "
Lu Benwei shook his head.
At this time, Chu Yan looked a little weak. She was leaning against a tree and gasping for air. Her proud chest heaved up and down violently with her heavy breathing.
Lu Benwei glanced at her and then turned to look at Hai Yue. He replied, "I really don't know."
Hai Yue's expression was a little surprising.
"Concept magic is a powerful type of magic," she said after a sigh. "For example, Chu Yan's burning… As long as the target's strength is weaker than our own, we can burn them to ashes, even if they're an army! Rather than a concept, it's more like an order!" After saying that, Hai Yue had a guess in her heart.
Lu Benwei was only able to get here because of Chu Yan, who was not very strong.
After Lu Benwei heard Hai Yue's description, he gasped. "What a terrifying spell!"
He turned his head again and looked at Chu Yan. Her condition had improved a little, but her pretty little face was still a little pale.
Chu Yan raised her head and saw Lu Benwei looking at her. She could not help but say proudly, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen me before?"
Lu Benwei smiled and asked, "Chu Yan, are you okay?"
Hearing Lu Benwei's concern, Chu Yan was so happy that she revealed her teeth. She patted her proud chest and said, "I'm fine. Dealing with two little monsters is nothing!
"That's good!" Lu Benwei sighed and asked Hai Yue, "Miss Hai Yue, did you only encounter these two monsters along the way?"
Hai Yue shook her head and replied, "The monsters we encountered weren't just these two."
After a short pause, a pained expression appeared on Hai Yue's face, and she remained silent.
At this time, Xiaoyan interrupted. "We encountered a diamond-rank monster."
Lu Benwei's pupils shrink. A diamond-rank monster that was as powerful as a level-50 hunter!
"That diamond-rank monster only used one move," Xiaoyan said painfully, "It killed all of our companions except us. Fortunately, when the diamond-rank monster used its second attack, it seemed to have received some order and suddenly stopped. That's how we survived. After that, I met these two demonic lizards."
Lu Benwei sighed after hearing this. No wonder the star team of the Northwind Mountain would be forced into such a state by these two pervert monsters.
"Alright, don't say anymore." Hai Yue interrupted Xiaoyan's story with a gloomy face and asked Lu Benwei, "What about you? Did you encounter any powerful monsters along the way?"
Lu Benwei shook his head. "No, I just found a pile of dead bodies. I had a bad feeling about it. Also, the contact with the base has been cut off. I thought that no matter what, it would be better to return to the base first. But I ran into you guys."
After listening to Lu Benwei's story, Hai Yue's face became serious.
"It seems that the development of the situation has far exceeded our imagination. There may be more powerful monsters coming in the future. Lu Benwei, I hope that your team can cooperate with Hai Yue's team. Right now, the most important thing is to return to the camp as soon as possible."
Lu Benwei also had the same idea and nodded in agreement.
It was at this moment that the sky suddenly turned gloomy and dark clouds felt like lead. Everyone's nerves immediately tensed up.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
In the distance, smoke and dust rose, and the sound was like ten thousand horses galloping. It was so powerful that it seemed like it could devour the world. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎
"Members of Hai Yue's team, be on guard!" Hai Yue shouted in a clear voice.
The remaining three members immediately got into formation.
Lu Benwei also knew. This was going to be a powerful monster attack. The Ancient Sword of Clarity appeared in his hand.
Eye of Insight was activated. The next second, the information about the monsters entered Lu Benwei's brain.
The number and variety were as numerous as the hair on an ox.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, their nerves stretched to the limit!
Chapter 64
Lu Benwei's cold eyes swept across the monsters in front of him. Some of them were 30 feet tall and their bodies were as sturdy as mountains. Some crawled on the ground, with the heads of bulls and the bodies of snakes, their steel-like scales opening and closing.
They could all speak the human language.
"I'm thirsty."
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful human woman. How should I taste her?"
Hai Yue's face was as white as snow when she faced so many monsters. Even though she had been on the battlefield for a long time, she could not help but feel a trace of fear.
"What do we do?" Xiaoyan of Hai Yue's team asked with a trembling voice.
"Everyone, don't panic. The highest level of these monsters is diamond rank!
Lu Benwei activated the Eye of Insight. He had to grasp the information about this group of monsters at the first possible moment.
Just as she said, the highest level of these monsters was no more than level 40. He could still fight them! Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Since that's the case, let's retreat while we fight!" Hai Yue's team said.
Everyone nodded and got into their respective positions.
Lu Benwei no longer had any concerns. He held the Ancient Sword of Clarity in his right hand and Holy Light Shield in his left hand, ready to use his three skills.
On the side, Hai Yue was holding a long spear and a large shield that was as hard as a rock. She was wearing armor and looked valiant and heroic. Hai Yue was a knight, and she had both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Everyone's expressions were tense, like arrows on a taut string.
Strange howls sounded one after another, and the monsters swarmed forward.
Lu Benwei took the lead and released three enhancement skills! 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶
"Boom!"
A mighty force descended from the sky and landed on his body.
The huge shadow of the heavenly dog appeared. It had a terrifying expression and was imposing without being angry. It scared some monsters and stunned them for a moment.
Divine Sword of Destruction. The powerful sword light covered the sky and the earth, instantly killing the group of monsters.
After exhaling, Lu Benwei tilted his head. He wanted to check on the others, but he realized that everyone was looking up at the sky.
A shadow that covered the sky and the earth instantly covered the ground. Extremely high temperatures descended from the sky, roasting the earth.
Lu Benwei looked up at the sky. Chu Yan once again summoned a huge fireball from the netherworld.
It was burning with a blazing flame that seemed to be able to burn everything.
"Boom!"
The fireball crashed heavily into the ground, causing heat waves and dust to rise. Countless monsters were turned into ashes.
"Is this something a level-20 elementalist can do?" The corners of Hai Yue's mouth twitched, and her face was filled with disbelief. She was once again amazed by Chu Yan's strength.
At the same time, she was even more certain that Lu Benwei was just a magician who knew how to suck up to people. After secretly glancing at Lu Benwei, Hai Yue began to throw herself into a new round of battle.
On the side of the monsters.
Chu Yan's powerful magic shocked all of them!
The leader of the monster had bloodshot eyes, and it was gritting its teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds.
"Disdainful of humans!"
It was so angry that its body trembled violently. Losing more than half of its monster compatriots in an instant, anger had overwhelmed their rationality.
"Attack! I want to capture that elementalist alive! And that human male, his sword light, also killed a large number of our comrades!" the leader roared.
As if they had received an order, the monsters roared and attacked Chu Yan and Lu Benwei!
Lu Benwei sneered in his heart. The duration of his three great enhancement skills was still there, and this group of monsters was nothing to him!
The bird-type monsters were very fast. They flapped their powerful wings and arrived in front of Lu Benwei in the blink of an eye.
Lu Benwei's mouth curved up, and he released Lightning Speed! The wind blew under his feet as he shrunk the ground into inches as if he had mastered the law of speed.
Lu Benwei thought to himself, 'This wave of monsters seems to be coming for me and Chu Yan. If we allow them to attack, we'll only become more and more passive.'
As a result, he advanced instead of retreating, and with a whoosh, he burrowed into the center of a group of monsters.
"Human, you're seeking death!"
One of them looked like a goblin and was over ten feet tall. It held a club made of human bones.
"Die!"
The club made of human bones smashed toward Lu Benwei. It was powerful and heavy, and countless people had been turned into a pool of blood by it!
Lu Benwei's eyes were as calm as an ancient well. The Ancient Sword of Clarity in his hand buzzed loudly and golden light bloomed. The power of the Divine Sword of Destruction was shocking.
The moment it was released, its power turned the goblin demon into ashes. As the sword light swept across, countless monsters were killed or injured!
…
As Chu Yan had used a powerful spell, the backlash was quite serious. At this time, her face was pale, and her breath was unstable.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!" Hai Yue stood in front of Chu Yan.
After witnessing Chu Yan's power, Hai Yue knew that she was the key to breaking the situation.
As for Lu Benwei, Hai Yue had just seen him enter a group of monsters.
She wanted to stop him but then she thought about it. If he entered so rashly, he would most likely lose his life. After sighing, Hai Yue focused on protecting Chu Yan.
"Knight's Judgement!" Hai Yue's long spear burst out with holy light.
A bull-type monster was decapitated, and its blood splattered all over the ground. Even her face was stained with some blood, making her look extraordinarily beautiful.
"Hmph, you're only at this level?" Hai Yue said proudly. She raised her spear and beheaded a group of monsters.
Just as she was feeling smug, a ball of pitch-black demonic qi shot over.
Demonic qi devoured people.
Hai Yue's beautiful face turned pale, and her strength dropped at an alarming rate.
The situation of the other members of the team was not optimistic either. The demonic qi was devouring their life force at a terrifying speed.
Hai Yue was shocked and frantically used her defensive and recovery skills. However, it was to no avail. None of their skills could stop their life force from being drained.
However, the monsters were still pouncing upward. The situation was critical.
A beam of holy light suddenly descended from the sky and bathed the entire place. In an instant, everyone felt full of vitality.
"What is this?" the members of Hai Yue's team exclaimed as they felt the holy light.
"A health regeneration skill?" Hai Yue was especially shocked.
She checked her strength. She had recovered to full health in an instant!
Hai Yue was even more shocked, and her face was filled with disbelief.
It was a health recovery skill that could restore a person to full health. The effect was too terrifying. Even a legendary-grade recovery skill might not be able to do it!
"Did an expert come to save you?"
Due to this holy light, Chu Yan recovered and said happily, "It's the annoying fellow!"
Lu Benwei? Hai Yue was especially shocked. How was this possible? How could a magician who was only a little over level 20 master such a legendary recovery skill?
It was also at this moment that a loud noise came from behind everyone.
She looked back.
Lu Benwei bathed in the holy light of Rain and killed countless monsters with the Divine Sword of Destruction, looking like a god of war!
Chapter 65
Everyone on Hai Yue's team was dumbfounded.
Such a powerful damage skill! A recovery skill with such remarkable effects! 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝑟𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝘤𝘰𝓂
It was caused by a magician!
Shocking! It was unbelievable!
Lu Benwei was bathed in the holy light of Rain.
With the One-Click Skill Support, Rain's proficiency had already reached S grade! The duration of the skill had reached a terrifying five minutes!
As for the recovery of his qi and blood every second, it reached 999 points per second!
The most annoying thing was that this was a group recovery skill!
Holding the Ancient Sword of Clarity, the monsters seemed to be made of mud under his feet.
Lu Benwei raised his hand and swung his blade. The sword light with soaring power pierced through the sky and the earth, killing and injuring countless monsters.
He was covered in blood.
All the members of Hai Yue's team were scared witless. "It's too terrifying."
Hai Yue stared at Lu Benwei, her eyes empty. At this moment, she could no longer tell who the monster was.
However, she quickly recovered from her shock and continued to fight alongside Lu Benwei.
Chu Yan was bathed in the holy light of Rain.
Powerful magic spells were thrown at the monsters as if they were free.
For a time, the monsters in this world let out agonizing cries, and the monster army was forced to retreat! It did not take long for this group of monsters to be completely eliminated.
It was a pity that he did not manage to leave behind a single monster to gather information.
"Phew, killing is so satisfying!" Chu Yan raised her arms and shouted. Her delicate face was covered with blood, and she had turned into a little devil.
Lu Benwei's face was still a bit solemn. "Don't be happy too early. This group of monsters isn't of a high grade, and they've just caused such a huge commotion. I'm afraid that even more powerful monsters will be attracted here."
Just as he finished speaking, a terrifying energy wave suddenly came from the main peak of Northwind Mountain, attracting everyone's attention.
A purple light pillar that reached the heavens and the earth shone from the peak of the main peak into the sky. Then, a mass of death swept over.
Wherever it went, flowers, grass, and trees withered and rotted. Some low-level monsters were so frightened by this terrifying death energy that their livers and galls ruptured.
The aura of death swept through Lu Benwei and the others, causing a sense of discomfort.
"What a powerful light wave."
Chu Yan supported her forehead with one hand and looked at the main peak.
"I really want to go and see," Chu Yan said heartlessly, "Maybe it's a great demonic monster. When the time comes, we'll hit the back of its head with a brick. His treasures will all be ours."
"It's a moment of life and death. We can't be careless," Lu Benwei said seriously.
"Lu Benwei is right." Hai Yue continued, "We should think of a way to leave Northwind Mountain."
Chu Yan laughed in embarrassment.
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by a hurried rustling sound. Immediately after, a large number of footsteps came from the forest behind him.
Everyone was on high alert as they looked into the forest. However, one after another, the hunters revealed themselves.
Some of them were seriously injured and were being supported by others. Some of them had dull expressions and their hearts were like dead ashes as if they had encountered a major change.
This group of people saw Lu Benwei and the others and then looked at the corpses of the monsters on the ground. They asked in surprise, "You guys dealt with so many monsters?"
Chu Yan was about to answer yes, but Lu Benwei beat her to it. "No, we heard the commotion here and were attracted here."
Everyone looked at Lu Bingwei and the others, who did not look like they had fought, and chose to believe his words.
At this time, a mocking voice was heard.
"Tsk, I've really overestimated you." The person who spoke was Gao Renchao.
"I thought you were the one who killed all the monsters on the ground. It's no wonder. When a magician encounters a monster, he can only flee in panic!
At the same time, Mo Tianyu and the other students from the Hunter Special Combat Class were also beside him.
Their bodies were in a sorry state. Even Gao Renchao's face was blackened by the smoke.
Chu Yan heard Gao Renchao's cold sneer and said, "Gao Renchao, you've been beaten so badly by the monsters. How can you still have the face to talk about us?"
Hearing this, the veins on Gao Renchao's face bulged.
"Chu Yan, don't think that I won't dare to fight you just because you're a girl!" Mo Tianyu said.
"Chu Yan, on the day of the freshmen tournament, you injured so many of my classmates. I haven't even settled the score with you yet."
Chu Yan looked at Mo Tianyu in disdain.
Chu Yan sighed and said, "On the day of the freshmen tournament, your classmates teamed up to fight against me. You were defeated by my magic, yet you still don't know how to keep your tail between your legs. How do you still have the face to settle scores with me?"
After saying that, Mo Tianyu and the other members of the Hunter Special Combat Class had veins popping out on their faces, and they were red from head to neck.
To Chu Yan, it was because they were not as good as her.
At this moment, Lu Benwei stood up. "Gao Renchao, I have no grudges against you. Why are you always targeting me?"
Hearing this, Gao Renchao sneered. "Indeed, there's no enmity between us. As long as you promise me one thing, I promise I won't cause you any more trouble in the future."
"What is it?" Lu Benwei asked patiently.
Gao Renchao sneered again and said, "As long as you and Chu Yan announce it, the real first and second place will be us from the Hunter Special Combat Class. You guys were just lucky enough to get first and second place. Naturally, I won't find trouble with you guys."
Lu Benwei laughed noncommittally as if he had heard the biggest joke.
"The freshmen tournament's results are obvious to all, how can you change it as you please? Moreover, everyone knows that Mo Tianyu was defeated by me because he wasn't as good as me. Don't you feel ashamed to say that you're in second place?"
Hearing this, Mo Tianyu flew into a rage and rushed to Lu Benwei.
"You were just lucky. I'll show you my true strength!"
Lu Benwei did not even blink as he kicked Mo Tianyu's ribs like he was a dead dog.
At this time, he still had not put away the venomous Viper Set. With Mad Demon +10, Lu Benwei's strength was increased to 300 percent. His kick was like a heavy hammer!
Mo Tianyu's ribs were broken on the spot, and his internal organs were pierced. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
"Lu Benwei, do you want to fight?" Gao Renchao was furious and shouted, "It's a serious crime to attack your own kind in the land of monsters!"
Gao Renchao's voice instantly attracted the attention of many people. They were full of anger and looked at Lu Bingwei indignantly.
According to the Alliance's law, if you attack your own kind in the land of monsters, you can be captured on the spot!
Furthermore, at this critical moment of life and death, to attack his own kind…
"Are you guys blind?" Lu Benwei coldly asked, "He was the one who attacked me first. I was only defending myself."
At this time, many people also calmed down and became onlookers.
The two of them looked at each other with fiery red eyes. The atmosphere was like a barrel of explosives that caught fire at the slightest spark.
Hai Yue could not hold it in any longer.
"Alright, stop quarreling. The most important thing now is to leave Northwind Mountain."
Chapter 66
"Boom!"
As soon as Hai Yue's voice fell, a thunderous sound exploded. Many people were so frightened that they suddenly quivered.
Then, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, and their expressions changed.
At the point where the sky and the ground met, a storm of sand stirred up, covering the sky like dark clouds.
Everyone's faces changed and turned pale.
"Rumble!"
Before everyone could catch their breath, another thunderous sound rang out behind them. The sky was filled with sand and dust again, rolling like dark clouds covering the earth.
Two waves of monsters, as numerous as the hair on a cow, gathered toward them like lightning.
The surging aura of monsters hit him in the face. Lu Benwei and the others were caught in the middle.
"What do we do?"
Some people were so scared that they fell to the ground, their faces pale.
"So many monsters! So terrifying!"
"Mommy, I want to go home…"
The despairing will to die shrouded everyone's head.
However, at this moment, the two waves of monster armies suddenly stopped advancing. Everyone was confused.
Some people tried to break out of the encirclement, but before they could get close, their lives were taken by a ball of demonic qi.
Everyone was shocked and began to guess.
"What are they doing?"
"They're not attacking us, and they're not letting us out either. What the hell is the monster army doing? "
Lu Benwei narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"I'm guessing they're waiting," he said as he had an idea.
"Why are they waiting?" Everyone gathered around.
Lu Benwei continued, "Most of the monsters will become stronger at night. To kill us in one fell swoop, they would wait until night to attack. That's their best choice. The longer we wait here, the more desperate we feel. When they attack, we'll be like a pile of loose sand."
Everyone's faces turned serious when they heard this.
"Little Brother, what do you think we should do?"
"We're like a plate of loose sand, each with his own thoughts," Lu Benwei said in a deep voice, "Now that the monster army is right in front of us, we'll die if we act on our own. We can only survive if we work together and break out of the encirclement.
Lu Benwei paused and glanced at Gao Renchao and the people from the Hunter Special Combat Class.
"Gao Renchao, I have no intention of fighting with you. This is a matter of life and death. I hope you can let go of your prejudice against me."
Then, Lu Benwei cast a Minor Healing on Mo Tianyu. His injuries recovered instantly.
The others also tried to persuade him. "Yeah, you two are classmates. What's there to feel bad about?"
"And this little brother has also cured your friend's injury. Everyone should be united now."
The corners of Gao Renchao's mouth twitched, and he clenched his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds. With so many people watching, he really could not find trouble with Lu Benwei.
Gao Renchao snorted coldly and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Alright, we'll do as you say. We'll break out of this encirclement together."
Seeing that Gao Renchao had temporarily reconciled with Lu Benwei, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon, someone among them suggested, "Everyone, if we break out of the encirclement by force, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy casualties. We should think of a way to minimize our losses."
After that, everyone fell into deep thought.
Someone suggested, "Why don't you tell us your class, talent, and combat power first? This way, we can better discuss our tactics.
"I'll tell you first. My name is Zhang Wu, and I'm a warrior. I'm level 34!"
"I'm Song San. I'm a wizard, level 31!"
…
"Super expert, Earth Shaker, level 29!" Gao Renchao said coldly.
When everyone heard this, they immediately exclaimed, "It's a level-29 EarthShaker. No wonder he came from the Hunter Special Combat Class of Zhejiang Hunter University."
"You're so young and promising. With the help of such a powerful person, we have a higher chance of breaking through the siege."
Gao Renchao listened to everyone's exclamations and looked at Lu Bingwei with a mocking expression.
Lu Benwei turned a blind eye and said indifferently, "I'm Lu Benwei, magician, level 23. If you all have a scroll that can increase your abilities, I might be able to lead the team to break out of this encirclement."
Lu Benwei knew that this sentence was not appropriate, but the situation was critical.
More than half of the people had already finished introducing their classes. Lu Benwei found a serious problem. That was that the team was lacking supporters! There were about 50 to 60 of them, but only four to five of them were supporters.
Even though Lu Benwei had the system, which was a heaven-defying existence to protect him, he was still a little overwhelmed when he faced the monster army. After weighing the pros and cons, he forced himself to beg for a skill scroll that could increase his abilities.
It was just as he had expected. Everyone's expression changed when they heard his request.
"You? magician? You want a skill scroll that can increase your abilities?"
Some of them put their lips so hard that they turned purple, trying their best to hold back their laughter.
"I had a good impression of you at first, but I didn't expect you to be a magician."
"Let's not talk about whether or not everyone has a skill scroll that increases your ability. But you're a magician, a waste that was born to learn skills. How can you comprehend a skill in such a short time?"
Lu Benwei listened to everyone's banter and said patiently, "Please believe me."
"I might as well believe that the monster army will retreat on their own," someone continued to mock.
More and more people looked at Lu Bingwei in disdain.
At this moment, Gao Renchao suddenly walked over.
"Lu Benwei, I'm willing to give you a skill scroll to increase your abilities as a thank you gift for curing Mo Tianyu's injuries."
He took out a skill scroll and handed it to Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei was slightly surprised, thinking, 'How did Gao Renchao suddenly turn over a new leaf?'
Out of courtesy, Lu Benwei stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you."
Before he could finish, he heard a "pa" sound. The skill scroll fell to the ground.
Gao Renchao's expression suddenly turned into one of mockery. He said pretentiously, "How could you be so careless?"
"Gao Renchao, what's the point of doing this?" Lu Benwei frowned.
"What? I've let bygones be bygones and give you a skill scroll, but you don't like it?" Gao Renchao suddenly raised his voice.
It immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Gao Renchao continued to shout, "Lu Benwei, I'm kind enough to give you a scroll to increase your skill. We're classmates. It'll give you more protection when you break out of the encirclement. It's fine if you don't like it, but why did you throw it on the ground?"
The people around also started to blame Lu Benwei.
"You magician, how can you not know what's good for you?"
"This is a skill scroll given to you by an EarthShaker. How can it be bad?"
"You just said that you wanted a skill scroll. Now, this little brother is giving it to you, but you embarrass him in public."
All the people who did not know the truth pointed their fingers at Lu Benwei.
At the same time, his words were filled with flattery toward an expert.
Chapter 67
Lu Benwei looked at Gao Renchao coldly.
At this moment, Gao Renchao had an innocent look on his face, but a cunning smile was hidden at the corner of his mouth.
"Gao Renchao, do you think I'm a fool?" Lu Benwei sneered.
After saying that, he bent down and picked up the skill scroll, spreading it out in front of everyone.
"Open your eyes and take a good look. What skill is this?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Someone released their divine telekinesis and checked the skill scroll.
"Is this an exclusive skill scroll for Earth Shaker?" the man said in an embarrassed tone.
"Gao Renchao, why is this your exclusive skill?" Lu Benwei asked coldly.
"Did you take the wrong one?"
The expert looked embarrassed and did not say anything.
"How did Lu Benwei know that this skill scroll is my exclusive skill?" Gao Renchao muttered to himself.
The other people who had just taught Lu Benwei a lesson were now ashen-faced and their cheeks were burning.
"You're bullying the weak," Lu Benwei said in a deep voice, "Just because you have the hidden class of EarthShaker, you slandered me first and still won't apologize?"
Someone sneered when he heard that.
"Little Brother, don't go too far with your words."
"You're a magician, and he's an Earth Shaker. It'll be clear who's more important to us when we break out of the encirclement later."
The others also began to blame Lu Benwei.
"That's right. You're a magician. You'll still have to rely on us to save your life after we break out of the encirclement. Who gave you the courage to speak to us like that?"
"I really don't know how you got in here, kid."
Gao Renchao saw that everyone was still speaking up for him, so he looked at Lu Benwei in disdain and whispered, "Lu Benwei, see, this is the difference between the two of us. I'm blatantly humiliating you, so what?"
His arrogant attitude was full of disdain for Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei sneered in his heart. Just as he was about to open his mouth to retort, he was stopped by Hai Yue.
"Lu Benwei, this is for you!" Hai Yue held a skill scroll in her hand.
"What's this?" Lu Benwei asked in surprise.
"This is a skill scroll that can increase my abilities that I obtained by chance. There's no one in my team who's suitable for it. The situation is urgent and there's not much time left. You should hurry and study it!"
Hai Yue knew that Lu Benwei was not a simple magician.
Just that group skill with an astonishing amount of recovery was enough to surpass many magicians. It was no wonder that Chu Yan, who had abnormal talent and strength, was not the team leader.
However, he was not confident that he could comprehend a skill in such a short time.
The people around him also tried to persuade him.
"It'll be good enough if he can finish learning the skills by tomorrow."
"Even if he's lucky and comprehended a skill in an instant, can a magician take control of the transformation? "
"That's right, Miss Hai Yue. What kind of battle can a magician control?"
Gao Renchao sneered coldly. "Miss Hai Yue, aren't you afraid that you'll lose everything by doing this?"
Hai Yue's pretty face was cold as she said in a deep voice, "You don't need to care about what I do."
Then, she looked at Lu Benwei with a worried expression. At this time, Lu Benwei sat cross-legged and began to study the skill.
A trace of regret suddenly rose in her heart. Shrugging her shoulders, she let him be.
Chu Yan stood beside Lu Benwei to prevent people from disturbing him. She was the only one who believed in Lu Benwei from beginning to end.
An hour had passed.
A drawn-out war drumbeat made everyone's expression tense.
The hunters in charge of scouting ahead reported that the monster army was about to attack!
Everyone was shocked. "Didn't we agree to attack at night?"
This caused their plan to fall into a passive state.
"What do we do now?" someone asked.
"Should we care about that magician?"
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
That magician should still be studying the skill.
Magicians were burdens to begin with, and now that they were comprehending skills, their movements were limited, and they were a burden among burdens.
"I've finished learning the skill. Don't worry."
Lu Benwei's voice made everyone's expression change again.
"You're done?" everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
Lu Benwei walked over and nodded solemnly.
"How is that possible?"
"It's only been an hour. How could a magician finish learning a skill?"
Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. Even Hai Yue could not believe it.
"Lu Benwei, I know you're very talented, but it's almost impossible for a magician to learn a skill in such a short time."
At this time, Gao Renchao's mocking voice was heard.
"Lu Benwei, don't be pretentious. Everyone is waiting for you to lead the team to break out of the encirclement!"
The moment Lu Benwei got the skill, he had already triggered the system and successfully comprehended it. To avoid being too shocking, he chose not to attract people's attention.
Lu Benwei ignored everyone's ridicule and silently closed his eyes. Everyone's facial features began to twist as they prepared to sneer at this person.
Suddenly, a black ring rose from under their feet.
[Boost skill: Killing aura]
[Effect: Increase the target's attack speed by 20 percent and attack by 30 percent]
The eyes of everyone who had this ring of light under their feet instantly turned blood red, and a violent killing intent rose in their hearts.
Everyone felt the effects of the skill, and their expressions became subtle. The effect of this skill was comparable to an epic skill scroll.
However, Lu Benwei finished it within an hour.
The veins on Gao Renchao's face bulged slightly, and his mouth was bitter as if he had just eaten a mouthful of sh*t.
"So what if he has finished learning the skill?" he said with a cold face, "Can he change the situation?"
After Lu Benwei heard this, he sneered in his heart and his eyes narrowed.
A black ring of light rose from beneath everyone's feet. It was not over.
[Sharp Blade Peak]
[Heavenly Dog's Wrath]
[Heavenly Dog's Blade]
Lu Benwei released three major enhancement skills, and everyone's combat power increased exponentially.
Some of them watched helplessly as their attributes shot up like a rocket. Just the attack power alone had increased by at least three times!
After taking in a deep breath of cold air, everyone exclaimed in unison, "What kind of terrifying amplification ability is this?!"
"Rumble, rumble!"
In the distance, the monster army had sent out an advance party. There were as many as a hundred of them, and every one of them was above silver rank.
After receiving such a huge attribute boost, some of them took the lead in gaining more information.
"Shattering Impact!"
A magician who was skilled in using ice attribute skills shot a fragile ice ball at the team of monsters.
"Boom!"
The ice ball was amazingly fast and hit the center of the team in an instant. Then, it shattered. Each shard of ice was as sharp as a knife, spreading rapidly in all directions.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Each of the ice blades sliced through the tough skin of the monsters, causing a huge amount of damage!
The ice magician was overjoyed. "The damage of my skills has increased by at least three times!"
When the others saw this, they were so shocked that their mouths were wide open.
Then, they used their skills on the team of monsters to experience it themselves!
Chapter 68
Inside a cave on the main peak of Northwind Mountain.
If there was a purgatory in the world, it would definitely be here.
Human tendons hung between the cracks of the mountain rocks like willow branches, and human flesh had turned into a carpet, spread on the ground.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the stench was unbearable.
The scarlet blood flowed along the ground and into the center of the cave, where it was swallowed by a magic circle.
The light emitted by the formation was becoming brighter and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the cave, and heavy snow fell from the sky with ice shards.
The bird-type demonic monster from earlier had descended from somewhere and transformed into a human-faced man with a bird's body and a pair of wings. He was a few feet tall and quite handsome.
The moment the Birdman stepped into the cave, the temperature in the cave immediately dropped by a few degrees, and blood flowed into the cave.
At this time, a lazy voice came from the depths of the cave.
"Xue Peng, how many times have I told you? Your presence will delay the completion of the array."
The Birdman strode forward, its claws like an elephant's palm, splashing blood everywhere.
After walking into the depths of the cave, the monster beast knelt.
"Young master, please calm down. I have something to report," the Birdman said respectfully.
In front of him was a throne made of human bones. The white skeletons reflected a scarlet blood light. On top of it sat a man with horns. He had a majestic appearance, and every breath he took exuded a terrifying aura.
The young master opened his ink-black eyes and nodded slightly, signaling the Birdman to report the situation.
"Right now, the human hunters from the outside world are all approaching this place."
Hearing this, the young master changed his posture and asked again, "It's fine. As long as we wipe out this trace, we can complete the array!"
After saying that, the young master of the monster pointed his finger. A pitch-black container filled with clear water appeared between the two of them.
Then, the water's surface immediately reflected the scene of the battlefield in front.
"Echo Strike!"
A hunter warrior slammed the ground with a heavy hammer.
The phantom of the heavenly dog attached itself to his body, providing him with powerful attributes.
At the same time, the hammer in his hand shone with the cold light of Sharp Blade Peak!
"Boom!"
The ground cracked open, and a shock wave that passed through the ground attacked a group of monsters.
In an instant, the sound of bones cracking followed.
The strength of this team of monsters was decreasing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Lu Benwei, this kid is really f*cking awesome!"
"I never dreamed that I would be so fierce one day!"
As they all had Lu Benwei's extremely powerful skills, everyone felt like they had god's help.
After the wave of monsters was repelled, everyone began to praise Lu Benwei.
"The key is that he can increase our level and heal. As expected of a magician!" 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"In the future, I'll never look down on magicians again!"
Lu Benwei listened to everyone's praise and said, "Now isn't the time to be careless. It's been half an hour, but there's still no movement from the monsters. I think the next wave of monsters will be even more violent."
When everyone heard this, they did not seem to care.
"It's okay. Lu Benwei, you can increase your strength and heal. We'll kill as many as they come."
Someone even suggested, "I think we should all fight around Lu Benwei. This will minimize our losses."
"Good idea."
Everyone raised their arms and completely regarded Lu Benwei as their backbone.
Lu Benwei sighed and turned to look at the pillar of light on the main peak of Northwind Mountain.
He frowned slightly. With so many different monsters, they could form a huge army. There must be a powerful monster behind this, controlling everything.
However, there were no clues yet, so Lu Benwei could only take one step at a time.
Suddenly, Lu Benwei felt an extremely cold gaze. His eyes narrowed as he scanned the crowd.
Among the crowd, only Gao Renchao's facial muscles were tense, and he was staring at him with blood-red eyes.
Lu Benwei once again stole his limelight.
"Damn it, Lu Benwei stole our limelight again! Damn it!" Gao Renchao gritted his teeth in anger. "Being stepped on by a magician, the Hunter Special Combat Class has lost all their face!"
"But we can only watch," Mo Tianyu said helplessly. "We all need Lu Benwei's ability."
After letting out a heavy sigh, Gao Renchao swallowed the anger in his heart.
…
"Boom!"
From the entrance of the main peak of Northwind Mountain, a terrifying aura fluctuation came out.
The young master of the monster clan laughed coldly. "To be able to detect my divine will, this human magician is quite interesting."
Lu Benwei's face was reflected on the black container in front of him.
After a pause, the young master of the monster said sternly, "Xue Peng, you'll personally lead the elites and kill that magician at all costs."
The Birdman was puzzled. He frowned and said, "It's just a magician. Judging from his aura, he's only level 23. Can't we just send a warrior instead?"
"Are you questioning my orders?" the young master retorted coldly.
The temperature in the cave suddenly rose by 80 percent.
His blood was boiling, and blood-colored water vapor shrouded him.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare." Xue Peng's expression changed greatly. "I'll immediately lead the troops and kill that magician!"
"Birdman, I hope you'll remember that our plan can't be messed up," said the young master.
"I really like an old human saying, a dam of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest. Sometimes, an unremarkable little person can ruin our plans."
"You are right, young master," Xue Peng said with a humble expression. Then, he turned around and left the cave.
Soon after, the magical beast army blew the horn to signal their attack.
"Wuwuwu …"
The drawn-out sound of the drum reinvigorated the human side.
"Haha, I can't wait any longer!"
A group of hunters outside the defensive line was overjoyed.
With Lu Benwei's divine power, they had nothing to fear.
"Heavenly Dog's Wrath!"
In the distance, Lu Benwei, who was in the middle of the defense line, cast an enhancement skill on his comrades.
One after another, the images of the heavenly dog appeared in the air. It was a spectacular and terrifying scene.
Just as everyone was rubbing their fists and preparing to start a massacre, a strange howl suddenly came from the magical beast army.
All the monsters' eyes turned blood-red as they tried to protect themselves.
Everyone was stunned. After a few moments, they recovered and used their skills.
However, what puzzled people was the vanguard of the monster army seemed to be in no mood to continue fighting with them. After avoiding the first wave of attacks from the humans, they headed straight for the center of the battlefield.
After the first line of defense was broken through by some monsters, the hunters at the second line of defense showed their might and took care of many monsters.
Although there were some that escaped, they were enough for the hunters at the fourth line of defense to take care of.
"Are the monsters stupid? They're using a suicide attack," they asked in confusion.
Chapter 69
When three to four monsters broke through the third line of defense, everyone immediately reacted.
The monsters flashed their sharp claws and aimed at Lu Benwei's neck.
"Not good!" Everyone was shocked.
There was only one outcome for all the supports when they were closed in. Die!
However, it was too late. The second wave of demonic monsters had already arrived.
Everyone wanted to help, but they were held back by the demonic monsters and could not split themselves.
Lu Benwei looked at the monster that was attacking him and smiled evilly.
"It's just as I expected!"
After saying that, his body emitted a green light. The green light dazzled the crowd, and the monsters could not open their eyes.
After the light dissipated, Lu Benwei was wearing the Viper Set and exuded a terrifying aura.
The demonic monster that was close to him was stunned for a moment before it sneered. "Human, are you trying to kill me with laughter?"
"Boom!"
Before the demonic monster could finish its sentence, Lu Benwei threw a punch at it.
"Pfft!"
Blood and flesh scattered in all directions, and the body of the demonic monster turned into a pool of mud.
Everyone was shocked.
"He has such terrifying power!
"One punch to kill a monster. Even a high-level warrior can't do this, right?"
The monsters were also stunned.
The scene of Lu Benwei killing their companion with a single punch was too shocking, and they hesitated.
It was also at this moment that another strange howl came from the direction of the army in the distance. All the demonic monsters trembled violently, and their eyes turned red as they stared at Lu Benwei.
"Human magician, die!"
"You're the ones who should die!" Lu Benwei snorted.
"Lightning Speed!"
Lu Benwei instantly appeared between the two monsters.
"Boom, boom!"
He punched out with his left and right fists, and the heads of the two demonic monsters exploded. White brain matter and blood splattered everywhere.
"Hiss!" The crowd gasped again.
However, before this breath of cold air could finish, two more monsters fell to the ground. Everyone was dumbfounded.
The monsters were also stunned.
"This is a magician?"
"Are you sure it's not a killing machine?"
The same thought appeared in the minds of both humans and monsters.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Benwei's eyes were red.
One after another, demonic monsters were smashed into pieces by his fist.
Ruthless!
Cruel!
Terrifying!
He was awakened by the sight!
This part of the world was dyed by the color of blood.
After Lu Benwei finished dealing with countless demonic monsters, the strange howl came again. Compared to the past, there was a hint of anger in his voice.
A strong wind suddenly blew, and heavy snow fell from the sky.
Lu Benwei's expression froze and he activated Eye of Insight.
His divine will spread out like a net.
With himself as the center, the information of all the living creatures within a radius of a thousand feet was captured in one fell swoop.
In the distance.
A large, snow-white roc was rapidly flying over.
[Demonic monster: Northwind Snow Roc King]
[Level: Diamond]
[One of the demonic monster kings of Northwind Mountains. Its ability is to control the ice element]
The snow rock's original body was huge, and its wingspan could reach several meters. Its feathers were snow-white, like a snow mountain flying in the sky.
'Is this diamond rank demonic monster the mastermind behind this massacre?' Lu Benwei frowned and thought. 'Obviously not. This is only one of the leaders of the monster army!'
The snow roc transformed into a bird with a human face. It flapped its wings and floated in the air.
Lu Benwei raised his head and looked at him coldly.
Xue Peng's eyes were fiery red. He had just commanded three waves of attacks. Every monster that got close to Lu Benwei was like mud in his hands.
Xue Peng had to come in person.
"Human magician, why aren't you kneeling before me?" the Snow Roc King said coldly.
Lu Benwei sneered, "If I kneel, can you retreat or do nothing?"
"Naturally, I'm going to leave your corpses intact."
"Then what the f*ck are you talking about? I'll kill you with one punch!" Lu Benwei sneered.
"You're looking for death!"
The Snow Roc King was furious. He folded his wings and raised his fist, aiming at Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei was also furious and used all kinds of enhancement skills on himself, increasing his strength unprecedentedly as if he had mastered the law of strength.
"Boom!"
One man and one monster, two fists collided, each punch hitting the flesh.
However, Lu Benwei's strength was terrifying!
Four skills with the highest proficiency, plus the +10 Viper Set. In addition the 300 percent increase in strength from Mad Demon!
Lu Benwei's strength was comparable to a level-50 hunter!
The Snow Roc King frowned. The hand that had attacked him went numb from his palm to his shoulder.
"What powerful physical strength!"
The Snow Roc King had a bad feeling. He was not good at close combat. However, he was diamond rank and had a monster body, so he was much stronger than Lu Benwei.
After all, Lu Benwei was only a human magician.
However, he was too careless.
Lu Benwei's physical strength was beyond his imagination.
Suddenly, Lu Benwei quickly retracted his strength, causing the Snow RocKing to stagger.
Then, Lu Benwei's next punch followed.
"Boom!"
With a punch, the Snow Roc King' was sent flying.
The Snow Roc King was furious. After letting out a roar, he took advantage of the situation to distance himself from Lu Benwei.
Everyone was stunned. Anyone with eyes could see that this bird-type demonic monster had profound strength, but it could not gain any advantage against Lu Benwei.
However, the overall situation was not optimistic. Without Lu Benwei's blessing, the human hunters were already showing signs of fatigue.
The Snow Roc King looked at the situation on the battlefield and relaxed.
"Human magician, do you still think you have a chance of winning?" The Snow Roc King sneered.
"As long as I can hold you back, you can only watch as your companions are torn to pieces by us. You'll also be torn to pieces by my ice magic!"
He flew and floated in the air, defending against Lu Benwei's support.
"You motherf*cker! Come down if you dare!" Lu Benwei cursed.
The Snow Roc King laughed instead of getting angry.
"Human, obediently offer your soul! Extreme Frost!"
Heavy snow fell from the sky.
The Snow Roc King's hands were covered in ice and snow as if he had mastered the power of ice and snow. He waved his hands in the air, and ice balls with high damage were thrown at Lu Benwei.
Seeing this, Lu Benwei cursed! "F*ck, come down if you have the guts."
At the same time, he dodged the ice balls that were coming at him. With Lightning Speed, how could Lu Benwei be hit by these ice balls? Even so, it still made him feel very aggrieved.
The Snow Roc King was in the air, so Lu Benwei could not do anything to him.
"You motherf*cker! I said that I'll kill you with my fists today, so I'll do it! When the time comes, I'll pluck all your feathers and make you into chicken soup."
The Snow Roc King laughed and mocked, "Human, can you hit my knee if you jump?"
"F*ck your mother!"
Seeing Lu Benwei's exasperated look, the Snow Roc King laughed so hard that he covered his stomach.
"Yo, what are you laughing at? You're so happy."
A faint voice was heard.
The Snow Roc King laughed and said, "Of course I'm laughing at Lu Benwei. He's so funny when he's jumping around…"
His voice stopped abruptly. The Snow Roc King's pupils shrank.
"It's you? How did you come up?"
Chapter 70
[One-Click Speed Support]
[Effect: Increases the host's speed by ten times. After activation, the host can master the law of speed, pass through walls, become invisible, and fly through the sky and burrow into the ground.]
Under normal circumstances, only after the second class change could one fly.
To attract attention, Lu Benwei deliberately kept a distance from the crowd and activated One-Click Speed Support.
At this moment, he was looking at Snow RocKing with an evil smile. He was so frightened that he cried out like a chicken. He had personally experienced Lu Benwei's physical strength. If he got close to him, he would die!
"Boom!"
Lu Benwei punched out with great force!
The Snow Roc King was sent flying like a cannonball before crashing into the ground. Before he could take a breath, Lu Benwei suddenly appeared in front of him from mid-air.
One-Click Speed Support Flash!
The Snow Roc King was shocked, and his feathers were pulled back. A cold breath of air went from his tailbone to his head.
"What a fast speed! What great strength! Are you even human?!" The Snow Roc King's voice trembled in fear.
Lu Benwei did not care and blew on his fist. All the enhancement skills were stacked on his fist.
"Little chicken, I said I'll use my fists to strip off all your feathers. I mean what I say!"
"Boom!"
It was another powerful and heavy punch, mixed with strength path laws.
The Snow Roc King flew backward and rolled a few times on the ground before coming to a stop. He was covered in injuries and had lost a few feathers.
The Snow Roc King's mouth was filled with blood and he was in a sorry state. "Human, I'm the king of Northwind Mountain, the Northwind Snow Roc King. You will not have a good ending if you offend me!"
"Come on!"
Lu Benwei's expression was full of ridicule as he stepped on the Snow Roc King's chest.
"With such a useless performance, are you still the king of the Northwind Mountain? Tell me, who's the mastermind behind you? What's his purpose?"
"It's no use." The Snow Roc King sneered. "It doesn't matter even if you don't have the souls of humans. The formation is almost complete. None of you will survive!"
Lu Benwei suddenly understood.
"What's the formation?" he asked, "Is it the one on the main peak of the Northwind Mountain?"
The Snow Roc King replied, "Hehe."
Seeing this, Lu Benwei exerted force on his feet. However, the Snow Roc King still did not move. He was not even breathing.
Just in case, Lu Benwei activated Eye of Insight.
"He actually committed suicide." Lu Benwei shrugged and sighed in relief.
Then, the holy light of Minor Healing and Rain appeared on his body.
"That was close. If the Snow Roc King wasn't so careless and I didn't get close to him, I'm afraid I would be the one who died here."
No matter what, the Northwind Snow Roc King was still a diamond rank demonic monster.
Lu Benwei was more than ten levels lower than him. In addition, the Snow Roc King was not good at close combat, so Lu Benwei was lucky enough to get close to him and win.
Even so, Lu Benwei's blood was almost empty.
"Luckily, I have Barbaric Bloodline. I won't dare to play so big in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Benwei heard a rustling sound behind him. There were also sounds of running. After feeling the other party's aura, Lu Benwei was not on guard.
"Annoying fellow!" Chu Yan Ran over first.
After seeing that Lu Benwei was fine, Chu Yan said, "It's a pity that you're not injured."
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched.
At this moment, people came over one after another.
"The monster army has retreated?" Lu Benwei asked.
"Just a moment ago, the monsters seemed to have received an order. Not only did the vanguards retreat, but even the army retreated." The crowd nodded.
"No matter what, we've won!" Hai Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
Everyone cheered in unison.
"I won. I can finally go home."
"When I get back, I'm going to take a good bath and sleep for three days and three nights."
At this time, someone asked, "Brother Lu Benwei, you're the hero for repelling the demonic monsters. When we were cleaning up the battlefield, we picked up a lot of treasures. You can choose first."
At this moment, Lu Benwei was staring at the light pillar on the main peak. His expression was very serious, and everyone was puzzled.
Only Chu Yan pointed in the direction of the main peak. "Hey, annoying fellow, don't tell me you're going to the main peak?"
Lu Benwei nodded.
"That's right. That's the only way we can figure out why all the demonic monsters in Northwind Mountain are out to kill us humans."
Someone was very puzzled. "Hey, didn't we just defeat the demonic monsters? Leave the rest to the military to investigate and deal with."
"No, it's an emergency. We might not be able to wait for the military to investigate," Lu Benwei said seriously.
"Then I'll go with you!" Chu Yan jumped out and said to Lu Benwei and everyone else.
"I'll go with Lu Benwei," Hai Yue said, "After all, he saved us. With your support skills, even if the demonic monsters regrouped, we'll still be able to defeat them." 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚
With Hai Yue's influence, many people immediately chose to follow Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei looked at them gratefully. "Thank you, everyone. I'll definitely ensure everyone's safety."
However, he was surprised. Gao Renchao and Mo Tianyu were also on the team.
Soon, Lu Benwei led his team to the main peak. The group found a cave that was several meters tall and several meters wide. A terrifying energy fluctuation came from the cave.
Everyone speculated that this was the source of the pillar of light. To be on the safe side, they elected a few people to enter the cave first.
Lu Benwei, Chu Yan, Hai Yue, Gao Renchao, and more than a dozen other people.
After entering the cave, everyone was shocked by the hellish scene in the cave. The skeletons were piled up into a mountain, and the bones were as dense as a forest. Hair was made into a carpet, human skin was turned into mud, and human tendons were like willow branches hanging above the cave.
The black blood formed a small river and flowed toward the formation. A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the stench was unbearable.
Chu Yan, who was usually carefree, was so scared that she curled up behind Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei's scalp went numb. After a long while, everyone came back to their senses. After a discussion, everyone decided to go in.
Lu Benwei pinched his nose and stepped on the blood river that was not even as deep as his knees. He and the others came to the edge of the array.
At this moment, only then did they see a huge glowing rock suspended in the middle of the array. A strange look flashed across everyone's faces as they felt the light from the huge rock.
"This light is incomparably holy!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone nodded in agreement. It was a wonderful feeling.
The cave they were in was clearly a purgatory, but the giant rock in the center was emitting a holy light.
Lu Benwei felt something was wrong and immediately activated Eye of Insight.
[Magician Heart]
[One of the world's rare top treasures. It possesses extremely powerful light energy and can be used as a material for a magician to break through to the second transition!]
Chapter 71
Lu Benwei was extremely excited when he saw the introduction of the Magician Heart.
"It can be used as a material for a magician to break through to the second transition?!" Lu Benwei was so excited that he muttered to himself, "I have to find a way to get it."
On the side, Chu Yan saw Lu Benwei's expression change and whispered, "Annoying fellow, did you notice something?"
Lu Benwei did not intend to hide it and said, "This is Magician Heart. It's the material for magicians to break through to the second transition!"
!
Chu Yan's eyes lit up and she felt happy for Lu Benwei. However, she said teasingly, "It's a pity that you've gotten such a great deal."
After everyone heard this, they congratulated Lu Benwei.
"Brother Lu Benwei, it's all thanks to you that we were able to defeat the monsters. This Magician's Heart is yours!"
Lu Benwei did not argue with them and cupped his fists. "Thank you for your offer."
Then, Lu Benwei tried to take off the Magician Heart. Suddenly, a huge rock flew toward Lu Benwei. He reacted quickly and immediately dodged.
At the same time, Chu Yan's angry voice could be heard, "Gao Renchao, what are you doing?"
The giant rock came from Gao Renchao's position. At the same time, Gao Renchao had another huge rock in his hand. He was casually shaking the rock in his hand as he looked at Lu Bingwei with a cold expression.
Lu Benwei looked at Gao Renchao coldly. "Gao Renchao, what do you mean by this?"
Gao Renchao's tone was indifferent. "I also have a use for this Magician Heart. I also need it. Why should I give it to you?"
"Brother LuBbenwei has done a great job in repelling the monsters, so it should belong to him!" The crowd began to blame Gao Renchao.
"Moreover, it was Lu Benwei who brought me here that I found this Magician Heart!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Renchao's expression turned into one of mockery, and his voice suddenly became louder. "Are you so sure that you discovered the Magician Heart first?"
"Could it be you?" everyone was stunned and asked.
Gao Renchao suddenly threw out a dagger and sneered. "Look carefully. Don't the marks on the Magician Heart look like those of a dagger?"
Everyone was stunned again and started to observe Magician Heart again.
Upon closer inspection, there were indeed a few dagger marks.
Someone picked up a dagger from the ground and pointed it at the marks on the Magician Heart. They matched each other.
Everyone's expression was complicated.
"Since you discovered this Magician Heart first, why did it suddenly appear here?" Chu Yan asked Gao Renchao.
"Then do you know why I didn't enter the academy at the beginning and didn't participate in the freshmen tournament?" Gao Renchao asked coldly.
Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed.
A few days ago, he had heard from Chen Yuan that the powerful members of the Hunter Special Combat Class were all in Northwind Mountain. Could it be because of this Magician Heart? 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"I got the Magician Heart a long time ago, but I didn't put it in my storage ring because my storage ring was full. It was also because of this mistake that I lost the Magician Heart," Gao Renchao explained.
"I didn't expect the Magician Heart to be here. Alright, let's cut the crap. It's time to return it to its owner."
Gao Renchao passed by the crowd and rubbed his hands, ready to put the Magician Heart into his pocket.
Chu Yan stood in front of him and retorted, "No way, Gao Renchao, where did you get the face to say 'return it to its owner'? There's no rule in this world that it's yours if you find it first, right?"
"Chu Yan, mind your own business!" Gao Renchao shouted coldly.
Chu Yan stood in front of him and crossed her arms. "This is Lu Benwei's. If you want to take it away, fight me and win!"
The veins on Gao Renchao's face bulged slightly. "Chu Yan, you asked for this!"
"Shut up!" Lu Benwei suddenly shouted.
Gao Renchao was stunned for a moment and then became furious. "Lu Benwei, if you really want to fight, I'll accompany you!"
Lu Benwei looked at him as if he was an idiot and said, "Are you an idiot? I don't know how you lost this Magician Heart and now it's here. Do you think it has legs?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
The huge array and the scene of purgatory were clearly the work of monsters!
"Boom!"
The cave suddenly lit up. Everyone was shocked.
"Let's leave this place first!" Lu Benwei said with a solemn expression.
Just as he finished speaking, an extremely cold voice reverberated in the cave.
"Humans, do you think you can enter and leave my cave as you please?"
The temperature in the cave rose again. However, everyone still felt a chill that made them shiver from head to toe.
The violent and terrifying aura of demonic monsters surrounded them. Everyone's heart unconsciously beat faster, and they felt like it would jump out of their throats in the next second.
At this time, there was movement in the depths of the cave. Everyone looked in the direction of the movement at the same time.
A man with horns on his head and eyes as red as fire was sitting majestically on a skeleton chair. He had a majestic appearance and a body that was several feet long. There seemed to be flames flowing in the blood vessels under his skin.
"Hiss!"
Everyone took a deep breath at the same time, as if they were facing a great enemy!
Lu Benwei did not dare to be careless and immediately activated Eye of Insight.
[Flame Monster]
[Race: Balrog]
[Level: Level 30 King]
[Skills: Demonic Flame Slash, Demonic Flame Fury, Inferno Strangle]
[The young master of the Flame Monster clan, one of the 72 monster clans, is very talented]
"Origin grade monster king?" Lu Benwei and Chu Yan exclaimed at the same time.
Everyone turned to look at him, their faces filled with disbelief and fear.
"Origin grade monster king?"
"Lu Benwei, don't lie to us!"
"You can't joke about this!"
The Flame Monster was level 32, so he should be a gold rank monster! However, he was the young lord of the Flame Monster clan and had a powerful bloodline.
All the races with powerful bloodlines were called monster kings by humans! A level-30 monster king could fight a diamond monster king!
Everyone's eyelids twitched crazily as if they were facing a great enemy!
As for the Flame Monster he only looked at this group of ant-like humans indifferently. He raised his right hand. The array in the cave began to spin rapidly, and the blood on the ground poured into the center of the array like a tsunami.
Lu Benwei used his Eye of Insight to read the information of the array.
[Absolute Monster Formation]
[A supreme formation from the monster race. With the Magician Heart as the guide and the human soul as the price, it can summon a terrifying existence sealed in history.]
Lu Benwei's pupils suddenly shrank.
"So, you massacred the humans wantonly to lure out more powerful monsters!" Lu Benwei said coldly to the Flame Monster after calming down.
Chapter 72
Everyone was puzzled.
"Lu Benwei, what are you talking about?"
Lu Benwei's eyes were sharp as he said without turning his head, "Guys, have you heard of the Absolute Monster Formation?"
Only Chu Yan responded, "Sacrificing human souls to summon the sealed monster experts?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and their scalps went numb.
A level-32 monster king was already enough to give them a headache. If it was a monster sealed in history, they would definitely be worried. The entire human race would suffer a great disaster!
"Everyone, do you still remember our mission?" Lu Benwei suddenly said.
"Of course, I remember!" Everyone took a deep breath and said,
The mission of all hunters was to kill all monsters!
Everyone swallowed their saliva. Even if they were to face a fearsome monster like the Flame Monster, they would not shirk their responsibility!
The Flame Monster looked at the group of people in front of him as if he was looking at ants.
"Hehe, it's no use! You people will become the nourishment for that supreme existence!"
With that, fire flickered in the Flame Monster's eyes, and the temperature in the cave suddenly increased!
Everyone was unable to breathe from the heat, and their expressions were painful. Every breath they took was like breathing in a ball of fire. The air was gradually filled with an unpleasant burnt smell.
The Flame Monster's control of the flame's temperature had reached the extreme. This temperature would only cause the fluid in the human body to slowly evaporate and torture them to death.
In his eyes, humans were merely ants! Killing an ant with a single step was not as satisfying as slowly torturing them.
Everyone was tortured to the point of unbearable pain. Some people even wanted to bang their heads on the wall.
However, with every step he took, he would be forced to take in two or three breaths of hot air, which was even more torturous.
"Water magic: Heavenly Mercy Rain."
A soft call was heard, and it started drizzling in the cave.
The scorching temperature could not evaporate it, but it rapidly dropped the temperature in the cave.
The Flame Monster's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked at Chu Yan.
"What a powerful control of the water element!"
After signing to himself, the Flame Monster stepped on the wind and ran in the air toward Chu Yan's direction!
The speed was fast, but Chu Yan had already expected it. She stretched out her hand and a stream of Ice Energy fell from it.
"Boom!"
A huge ice wall blocked the Flame Monster's path.
"Quick, let's go out first!" Chu Yan said.
Only then did everyone recover from the torture of pain and immediately ran out of the room!
The Flame Monster did not have any intention of chasing after him. He coldly laughed. "It's no use. To complete the Absolute Monster Formation, I've been preparing for several years!"
On the other hand,
The moment Lu Benwei and the others stepped out of the cave, they were immediately frightened by the scene in front of them. There were monsters everywhere in the sky, on the ground, and in the forest.
Each of them had a more terrifying face than the last, and each of them had a more powerful aura than the last.
The people who had been waiting outside had already fallen into a bitter battle.
Seeing this, Lu Benwei did not say anything and used all his skills on the people who were in a fierce battle.
The strength of the people fighting had greatly increased, but they were still unable to repel the monsters in the outer perimeter.
There were even casualties!
At this moment, a loud noise came from the cave behind him.
"Demonic Flame Fury!"
Scorching black flames spewed out of the hole like a volcanic eruption!
Lu Benwei waved his hand.
"Holy Light Shield!"
"Heavenly Light Shield!"
A shield shining with holy white light blocked the way. At the same time, everyone's body was covered in a layer of white light.
As everyone retreated, they used their two defensive skills to nullify the scorching flame's skills. Only when they had retreated to the foot of the mountain did everyone heave a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a burst of arrogant laughter came from the entrance of the cave.
"Hahaha!"
As the laughter died down, the Flame Monster walked out of the cave and looked down at them.
"I almost forgot about you! Little ones, hear my order! Cut off the head of this magician!" 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Yes, sir!" the monsters in the sky and on the ground responded with a roar!
In the next second, a dense number of monsters quickly attacked Lu Benwei.
"What should we do?"
"The monsters this time are clearly stronger than the ones we encountered before."
Chu Yan gritted her teeth. "What else can we do?" She said, "We have to fight!"
"We are hunters. Whether it's to save our lives or for the safety of the humans, we have to keep the monsters here at all costs."
Everyone nodded and unanimously decided to fight to the death.
"Let's defend against this wave of monsters first!"
Everyone immediately got into formation to deal with the monsters' attack. However, there was someone in the group who was walking in the opposite direction.
Gao Renchao left the group and went straight up the mountain.
"Gao Renchao, what are you doing now?" Chu Yan was very confused.
Gao Renchao ignored her and quickly rushed up the mountain.
"Don't tell me that Gao Renchao wants to capture the leader first?"
When Lu Benwei heard this, he was stunned.
"Quick, let's go and help him!"
It was too late. The monster army had already charged up, and the group was unable to escape.
However, Lu Benwei and the others overestimated Gao Renchao.
To surpass an expert was just to fight for the Magician Heart.
However, the Magician Heart was the foundation of the Absolute Monster Formation. How could the Flame Monster let an expert take it so easily?
"Human, how dare you try to take away the Magician Heart?! You're courting death!" the Flame Monster said disdainfully.
In his eyes, Gao Renchao's actions were no different from seeking death!
Demonic light shot out from the Flame Monster's mouth toward Gao Renchao.
"Pfft!"
Gao Renchao's chest was instantly penetrated through, exposing his mud-colored internal organs!
"Cloning spell, a small trick!" The Flame Monster sneered as his eyes narrowed and his divine sense spread out.
Very quickly, he locked onto Gao Renchao's position.
"Demonic Flame Fury!"
Extremely hot black flames shot toward the ground. The ground was burning, and the earth was gushing out!
Gao Renchao finally revealed his true form as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Damn it, I wanted to get away with it, but you still saw through me," Gao Renchao said with a cunning smile.
"I have no choice, I can only fight you."
The Flame Monster could tell that Gao Renchao was an Earth Shaker, but his eyes were still as calm as an ancient well.
"Those who dare to touch the Magician Heart, die!"
The Flame Monster's body expanded, and a terrifying demonic qi gushed out of his body.
Gao Renchao did not want to be outdone, he said, "Let's fight. You're the young master of the monsters, and I'm not afraid even if a monster forefather comes!"
After saying that, the expert's body was like a cannonball as he charged in front of the Flame Monster.
The arm turned into a giant hand of the earth. With a wave of his hand, he brought with him an endless amount of wind as he attacked the Flame Monster.
With a "honk" sound, the Flame Monster was covered in flames.
The hot air that hit his face made Gao Renchao's eyes smoke. However, he was already close to her . Relying on his memory, he still waved out that huge hand.
Chapter 73
"Missed?"
These were the thoughts of the expert. Before he could react, the Flame Monster's figure appeared behind him.
"Demonic Flame Fury!"
Black flames shot out of his mouth. The temperature was extremely high, scorching the world.
"Earth Spike!" Gao Renchao retorted.
In an instant, the ground rolled up, and thousands of earth spikes shot out. Every single one of them was extremely sharp.
The Flame Monster was shocked. He did not expect that this human would actually want to fight him head-on!
"Human, you think too highly of yourself."
The Flame Monster took that sharp Earth Spike head on.
Gao Renchao also made the same choice, resisting the extremely high temperature.
"Boom!"
One of them was covered in black demonic flames, while the other was pierced through by a sharp earth spike. This scene made everyone's heart tremble with fear.
"Super expert, is he that powerful?"
"I remember his level. Was he ranked 29 or 30? He reached rank 30 at such a young age. It's a pity that he's going to be buried here."
"Such a pity."
Everyone sighed. How could a human resist the monster race's young master?
"Look, Gao Renchao is still fine!"
Only then did everyone raise their heads and look at the mountain.
Gao Renchao's body was covered in black soil, and half of his head was exposed.
In front of him, the Flame Monster's body had been torn in half by the sharp earth spikes, and hot blood was flowing out of his waist.
Everyone was overjoyed and their confidence increased. The young master of the monster race was nothing more than this!
Gao Renchao said proudly, "What young master of the monster race? I think it's the pig of the monster race!"
Looking at his masterpiece, Gao Renchao was very satisfied.
"Humans are really full of themselves."
As Gao Renchao stepped out, he heard the Flame Monster's mocking voice.
The remaining half of his body began to burn, and his face, which was originally filled with death, was now full of life. Below the waist, two legs began to grow. There were fine scales seeping out of his body, and a pair of wings spread out from his back.
Between the scales, a shimmering flame flowed, looking like it was filled with energy. Balrog, second form, half-monster!
Compared to his previous human form, he was much more powerful!
"Swish!"
In the blink of an eye, the Flame Monster had arrived beside Gao Renchao. With a whip kick, Gao Renchao flew backward with a cry.
Then, the Flame Monster flapped the wings on his back, grabbed Gao Renchao and flew into the sky.
"Boom!"
The Flame Monster dragged the expert and flew on the ground for a long time. He pressed Gao Renchao to the ground and rubbed him back and forth.
The scene was extremely cruel. However, Gao Renchao's physical strength was terrifying.
Even so, they were still waiting for an opportunity to strike. Taking advantage of a gap, Gao Renchao commanded the power of the earth and summoned two huge stones, which sandwiched the two of them in the middle.
The huge rock shattered.
The Flame Monster and Gao Renchao jumped out one after the other.
"Human, you're really something!" the Flame Monster coldly said.
Gao Renchao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I have a lot of skills!"
"You're looking for death! Demonic Flame Fury!"
"Breaking Ground!"
Countless huge rocks rose into the air and smashed toward the Flame Monster.
The Demonic Flame Fury also pounced toward Gao Renchao.
After a transformation, the Flame Monster's strength had been unsealed by a layer.
The huge rock could not withstand the black flames. Gao Renchao was shocked and could not dodge in time!
"Boss, get down!"
A blood-red sword qi came from behind Gao Renchao, barely slowing down the black flame.
"Who is it?" the Flame Monster asked angrily.
They saw Mo Tianyu leading the students of the Hunter Special Combat Class to support Gao Renchao. The expert was overjoyed and said, "I must obtain the Magician Heart today!"
On the other hand,
Mo Tianyu's sudden departure from the Hunter Special Combat Class made the situation on Lu Benwei's side turn grim.
"Damn it, he suddenly went to help Gao Renchao." Chu Yan could not help but complain.
Lu Benwei also signed. Right now, not only did the demonic monster kings of the Northwind Mountain come out, but many from other places also came.
Compared to the casualties, what was more terrifying was the mental breakdown of the people.
At this time, a scorching flame struck the two of them.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan could not dodge in time and hurriedly defended. Even so, the two of them were still injured.
Chu Yan's condition was the most eye-catching. Her hair was burnt, and her face was black.
"Chu Yan, are you okay?" Lu Benwei asked as he tried to suppress his laughter.
"What do you think?" Chu Yan pouted in anger.
At this time, a strange laugh came from the sky.
"Hehe, you've finally been caught by this king. I'm going to present your head to the young master."
It was a huge bird with a huge body. Its wings were burning and dancing with flames.
It was called Flame Eagle.
"You're the one who disfigured me!" Chu Yan shouted.
The next second, Chu Yan rose into the air and flew without wings! 𝑙𝒾𝘣𝘳𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝓂
The world was shrouded in terrifying pressure. Dark clouds covered the sky, and thunderclouds rolled!
All the humans and monsters were stunned. This terrifying pressure was so oppressive that they could not breathe!
However, that pressure was caused by Chu Yan!
The Flame Eagle was shocked. Its feathers stood on end, and a chill ran down its spine.
"Go to hell!" Chu Yan flew without wings and cast a terrible spell at the Flame Eagle.
The Flame Eagle felt that its life was in danger and turned to run. As it ran, it said, "I was wrong!"
Lu Benwei was shocked. Women were so f*Cking is scary!
Chu Yan was getting further and further away, and there were many monsters going in her direction to help the Flame Eagle.
Lu Benwei was worried and activated One-Click Speed Support, Wingless Flight!
Just as he was about to take off, a monster blocked his path. Lu Benwei was in a hurry, and he swung his Divine Sword of Destruction! The light dissipated, and the monster turned into ashes.
[Ding! 10x experience has been triggered]
[Congratulations on leveling up, you've reached level 25]
Lu Benwei was stunned. He had not heard the system's voice for a long time.
Just as he was about to catch up with Chu Yan, the system's mechanical voice sounded again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching level 25]
[Unlocking the profession point system. One-Click Upgrade System has been triggered. The host has been rewarded with 500 free attribute points]
Lu Benwei was stunned again. When a hunter reached level 25, they would unlock their class points. After that, with every level up, he would receive free attribute points that he could add to.
This way, he would be able to better determine the skills and class he needed to learn in the future.
Generally speaking, every level up would give 50 free attribute points. However, there would always be some talented people who would obtain more free attribute points than regular hunters.
This was also why level 25 was a dividing line for hunters.
Lu Benwei directly received 500 free attribute points, making his strength far beyond the average level 35 hunter!
The situation was urgent, so Lu Benwei did not think too much. 500 free attribute points, evenly distributed among the four attributes.
Suddenly, Lu Benwei felt refreshed, and his limbs were filled with strength. After all, his strength, speed, constitution, and spirit had all increased by 125 points.
Chapter 74
What was even more terrifying was that the Viper Set had an even greater bonus to him.
Not to mention the +10 attribute points, with the +10 blessing of Mad Demon, Lu Benwei's strength attribute increased by three times! How terrifying!
Lu Benwei felt the surging power in his body and laughed three times.
At the same time, on the other side.
The Flame Monster was forced into a canyon by the Hunter Special Combat Class. With a pincer attack from the front and back, there was no way to retreat!
"Hahahaha!" Gao Renchao laughed wildly. "Hand over the Magician Heart and get out of Northwind Mountain. Then, I'll spare your life!"
The Flame Monster laughed noncommittally as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Hand over the Magician Heart? Get out of Northwind Mountain? Human, do you know what you're saying?"
After saying that, the aura on the Flame Monster's body suddenly increased explosively. A huge amount of demonic qi poured into his body from all directions.
The Flame Monster's body expanded, and he was ten feet tall. The human face had turned into a monster's face. Its skin was like lava, and its wings were wide open as if they could cover the sky.
Everyone was shocked! This monster young master had a third form! Its original form was already enough to give people a headache.
The Flame Monster's strength was completely unsealed, and the Hunter Special Combat Class had a bad feeling.
"Demonic Flame Fury!" The Flame Monster roared, and the world turned fiery red.
This time, it was no longer black demonic flames that came out of his mouth. Instead, it was demonic flames that descended from the sky! Each one of them was emitting extremely high temperatures, scorching the earth!
"Boom!"
Demonic flames were like fireballs, smashing toward the Hunter Special Combat Class with loud sounds.
Gao Renchao was shocked and kept on commanding the power of the earth. One after another, earth walls were erected between them. However, the earth wall was as weak as paper in front of the demonic flames.
"Boom!"
The students were hit, and their bodies were roasted by the high temperature. The demonic qi devoured their vitality and gave off an unpleasant burnt smell. Gao Renchao's facial features were twisted and he looked disgusting.
However, the terrifying demonic flames continued to descend from the sky.
Gao Renchao gritted his teeth and began to mobilize the power of the earth with all his strength.
"Hidden Dragon Earth Shaker!"
"Rumble!"
This was the most powerful skill of an expert. The earth trembled and rumbled as if something was about to burst out and pierce through the sky!
The Flame Monster's expression turned subtle.
It was not over. A huge dragon that was a few hundred feet long emerged from the ground and flew toward the Flame Monster.
The Flame Monster flapped his wings and quickly flew up to dodge.
The dragon had no intention of giving chase. It turned its head in the air and took the Hunter Special Combat Class away.
The Flame Monster saw that the dragon had burrowed into the ground and stopped chasing. Looking back at the main peak of the mountain range, he let out a strange cry and quickly flew there.
At this moment, the scene on the battlefield was too horrible to look at. Corpses were strewn all over the place.
The blood of humans and monsters mixed together, and the stench of corpses was very strong. Their original formation had been scattered, and they were now gathered from all over the place.
At the moment, all the powerful monsters seemed to have been attracted away by the terrifying pressure from before.
There were only thirty-odd people left on the human side.
"It's good overall. At least a few of us survived!" Some people rejoiced.
"Sigh… It's a pity that we didn't manage to deal with that monster young master. In a few days, the cities near the Northwind Mountain will suffer a great disaster," someone said with mixed feelings.
At this moment, someone suggested. "No matter what, there are no more monsters attacking us now. Let's leave Northwind Mountain now!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Suddenly, demonic qi rolled down from the sky, and the air became hot. Everyone's expression changed drastically as they looked up at the sky.
The young master of the monster clan, Flame Monster, was currently flapping his wings and looking down at them!
"Is this the young master of the monsters?" someone said in surprise.
"Isn't he fighting the Hunter Special Combat Class?"
Hearing the discussions of the humans, the Flame Monster said in disdain, "Are you talking about the earth shaker? They've already fled with their tails between their legs."
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and a sense of despair permeated the air. More than half of the people had died and gone missing. The team's core, Lu Benwei, was missing. Even the Hunter Special Combat Class, which was the strongest on paper, had slipped away.
How could they, the defeated soldiers, fight against the powerful young master of the demonic monster clan?
"Humans, obediently sacrifice yourself for the great existence!" The Flame Monster laughed out loud.
Just as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from behind the mountain in the distance. Then, the Flame Monster and the others felt a violent squall mixed with a cold sword essence fluctuation.
The Flame Monster had a bad feeling as he flew in that direction. After crossing the mountain, he saw an extremely terrifying scene.
A man and a woman, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan, were slaughtering a group of demonic monsters. Monsters with tough skin and high vitality could not last more than a breath in the hands of the two of them.
This was the first time the Flame Monster had seen a monster's face filled with fear!
On the battlefield, when the monsters saw the Flame Monster arrive, it was as if they had seen their savior, and they scrambled to his side.
"Young master, save me!"
"These two people are too f*cking terrifying."
The veins on the Flame Monster's face bulged.
There were quite a few powerful level-40 monsters who were calling for his help. Every one of them looked dejected as if they had lost their parents.
They had been beaten up by two humans. It was really a disgrace to the monsters!
The Flame Monster suppressed his anger and asked a monster beside him, "What happened? How did it become like this?"
Just as he finished speaking, Chu Yan and Lu Benwei gave him the answers. A huge fireball fell from the netherworld and hit a large number of monsters.
The Flame Monster was just about to attack Chu Yan when suddenly, he had a bad premonition, and all the hair on his body stood on end.
"Young master, be careful!" Beside him, the monster from earlier pounced forward and stood in front of the Flame Monster.
"Pfft!"
Instantly, the monster turned into a pool of blood, and its corpse exploded.
The Flame Monster's eyes widened in shock. He saw a human face between the blood clots. It was Lu Benwei!
"It's a pity that there's a dog protecting its master!" Lu Benwei said jokingly.
The Flame Monster was both shocked and furious, and one of his hands was wrapped in black flames.
"You dare to kill my subordinates? You're courting death!"
"Inferno Strangle!"
This was his most powerful single-target skill, death upon contact!
The aura of fire and death approached Lu Benwei. His lips curved up and he ran like the wind.
"Whoosh!"
His entire body left a series of afterimages on the ground as he dodged it easily. Then, he reappeared in the distance.
The Flame Monster was furious.
Killing his subordinates in front of him and then sneaking away so easily, it could be said that they were taking a dump on his head!
"Demonic Flame Fury!"
Countless black flames descended from the sky and gathered into a fireball that emitted the aura of death.
"Boom!"
The fireball flew toward Lu Benwei, stirring up a large amount of dust and soil.
"It's a pity that I wasn't hit." Lu Benwei's voice sounded behind him.
The Flame Monster was furious, and he spat out the anger that had accumulated in his heart!
"Magician, you're courting death! Little ones, gather!"
All the monsters instantly appeared beside Yan lie. Being played by Lu Benwei like this made him want to swallow Lu Benwei alive!
"Go! Tear this magician to pieces!"
The monsters hesitated. They had seen how terrifying this human magician was. He only needed one punch to kill them.
At this time, Lu Benwei's voice came. "Don't dawdle, let's attack together!"𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎
Chapter 75
The Flame Monster was furious after hearing this and let out a mournful howl.
"Little ones, hurry up and attack! The magician has obstructed my plans time and time again! I'm going to tear your soul apart and let the endless demonic flames burn you for all eternity!"
Under the Flame Monster's orders, the monsters roared hysterically to boost their courage. There were so many of them that they blotted out the sky and covered the sun. It was as if they were going to devour the world.
Lu Benwei sneered in his heart as he looked coldly at the group of dying monsters. A pitch-black greatsword slowly appeared in his hand.
The Flame Monster's eyes narrowed as he sensed the pitch-black sword. As soon as his spiritual will touched the sword, the Flame Monster's body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and the fire in his eyes stopped flickering.
"What a terrifying sword intent," the Flame Monster cried out, "It's like an abyssal mayfly."
Before he could finish, a soaring sword light swept over him. It was as if he had mastered the laws of life and death as if the god of death was waving his sickle. The bright sword light instantly destroyed all the monsters.
The Flame Monster's eyelids twitched wildly as he flapped his wings with all his might to fly backward.
This scene was also seen by the members of the Hunter Special Combat Class who happened to be hiding there. Their scalps turned numb, and their hair stood on end.
"What a terrifying mayfly!"
In an instant, all the humans and monsters were killed. The expert's eyes were empty, and he could not speak.
"Lu Benwei… Is he still human?"
An unprecedented sense of defeat rose in Gao Renchao's heart, and a chill spread from his head to his feet.
Lu Benwei was like a demon from heaven, a god in the human world. In an instant, many monsters were turned into ashes.
Shocking!
It was terrifying!
It was unbelievable!
Other than the gods and demons in the world, who else could do that?
He did not even have the courage to face Lu Benwei.
"Plop!"
"I'm too stupid."
Gao Renchao slowly kneeled on the ground. Thinking of how he had once targeted Lu Benwei, his heart was filled with endless regret.
At this moment, Lu Benwei's eyes were calm, his expression was neither happy nor worried, nor sad.
One would not even be able to believe that this was a human who had just exterminated an army of monsters.
The sky was filled with ashes, and the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.
The Flame Monster stood in mid-air and looked at the ashes that filled the sky. Those were the corpses of his comrades that had been reduced to ashes by the sword light.
"Human magician!"
The Flame Monster was furious. Those were his subjects! Then, he put his hands together and pulled out a devil flame sword with his right hand.
"Human, I want to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin!" The Flame Monster was so angry that he cursed!
The Demonic Flame Fury Sword was swung, and the majestic sword qi spat out demonic flames as it quickly slashed toward Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei's expression was indifferent as he activated One-Click Speed Support. His body turned illusionary, and he directly jumped in front of the Flame Monster. The Flame Monster was shocked, and the fire in his eyes flickered.
Lu Benwei did not give him a chance to react. A cold light flashed in his eyes as Lu Benwei flicked his wrist and the Ancient Sword of Clarity stabbed at the Flame Monster's heart.
"Pfft!"
Boiling hot lava-like blood spurted out.
Lu Benwei's pupils shrink, and he immediately pulls out the Ancient Sword of Clarity. The Flame Monster was sent flying dozens of meters away.
"Hu!" Lu Benwei let out a breath. "That was close. I was almost injured."
The moment Lu Benwei stabbed into the Flame Monster's body, he felt the high temperature.
He had wanted to kill the Flame Monster with a single strike, but he was forced back by the terrifying temperature, saving the Flame Monster's life.
The Flame Monster's facial features were twisted, and he clutched his chest with his hands. However, blood was still flowing from his chest.
"Human!"
The Flame Monster was so angry that his heart and lungs almost exploded. He wanted to skin Lu Benwei alive.
"You forced me to do this!" the Flame Monster shouted. It opened its huge mouth and sucked in the demonic 1i between heaven and earth.
Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed slightly, ready to see what kind of trick the Flame Monster would have.
The Flame Monster suddenly grew to a height of thirty feet. There seemed to be lava flowing on his body, and when he retracted his wings that covered the sky, he really looked like a small volcano.
The fire blade in his hand also grew in size. The fire sparkled and burned everything in the world. The Flame Monster's strength had also increased greatly. Lu Benwei could feel the heat from his body even from tens of meters away.
Chu Yan flew over to Lu Benwei's side.
"An awakening?" Chu Yan recognized the root of the Flame Monster's transformation at a glance.
"What's an awakening?" Lu Benwei asked in a deep voice.
Chu Yan's beautiful eyes flickered as she said, "You can simply understand it as the second class changes…"
"I can't remember what kind of mayflies the balrog clan will become when they awaken," she said, scratching her head.
"It's the Flame Monster King!" Lu Benwei said. He had just activated Eye of Insight and immediately noticed the Flame Monster's awakening.
Not only did his body size increase drastically, but his strength also soared. 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮
At this moment, the system's mechanical voice sounded.
[Ding! Mission is about to be assigned]
[Mission objective: Kill the Flame Monster King]
[Mission reward: Transcendence skill-myriad lightning spells]
Lu Benwei was overjoyed, and his eyes gleamed as he greedily sized up the Flame Monster King. In his eyes, the young master of the monster clan was a delicious meal.
The Flame Monster King was furious. In all his years of existence, he had never been humiliated like this.
"Sky Burning Demonic Flame!"
The Flame Monster opened his abyssal mouth, and a ball of black demonic flames shot into the sky. This was a skill that he had obtained after his awakening, and it was extremely powerful.
"Boom boom boom!"
The demonic flames burned the sky, and the clouds were torn apart, turning the sky into a sea of fire.
After a few breaths, several fire tornadoes descended from the sky. The flames were like sharp swords stabbing at Lu Benwei and Chu Yan.
Lu Benwei's eyes were solemn without any fear!
The Holy Light Shield was thrown out in an instant, shielding Chu Yan and him.
"Chi…"
Tongues of flame rolled and burned the Holy Light Shield.
Chu Yan was wearing a robe and holding a staff. "Wind Whisperer's Blessing!"
A green ring of light instantly rose from beneath the feet of the two.
Lu Benwei felt that his body was light and he could fly in the air with a slight movement.
Then, Chu Yan took the lead and rushed toward the Flame Monster.
"Water Blade!"
"Ice Blade!"
Chu Yan held two blades, one ice and one water.
The Flame Monster let out a strange roar and waved the demonic flame sword in his hand, fighting with Chu Yan.
The demonic flame sword swept across, and the flames engulfed the area.
Flame Monster Slash!
Chu Yan's blades danced and formed a water barrier in front of her.
Water and fire mixed, producing a large amount of steam.
The Flame Monster's vision was blocked, but he aimlessly swung his devil flame sword in the direction of the water vapor. The water vapor dissipated, and Chu Yan had long disappeared.
The Flame Monster's eyes were blank as he spread his divine sense in all directions to capture Chu Yan's figure.
"Ugly freak, where are you looking?" Chu Yan's clear voice came from above the Flame Monster.
The two blades were sharp enough to assassinate the Flame Monster King!
Chapter 76
The glint of the blade and the shadow of the sword flickered, shocking everyone.
"Chi..."
The two blades were like needles as they hit the Flame Monster's forehead. The boiling hot demon blood gushed out like a volcano.
The Flame Monster roared in pain, his mountain-like body trembled violently, and he flapped his wings and flew back a few hundred feet.
Lu Benwei followed closely.
Myriad Light Fist, burst!
Fists as dense as raindrops shot out toward the Flame Monster.
The Flame Monster was shocked! It wrapped its wings around its huge body to defend itself!
After the Myriad Light Fist attack ended, the Flame Monster revealed his true appearance. His eyes were fiery red, and his majestic chest rose and fell violently with his breathing.
"Human!"
The Flame Monster roared, his voice filled with anger!
"If you stop my plan, I'll make you die a horrible death! Demonic Flame Fury!"
A huge amount of demonic flames came out of his mouth, burning the world. Under such high temperatures, all the living beings in this world were turned into ashes!
"Holy Light Shield!" Lu Benwei shouted.
Two white holy lights enveloped Lu Benwei and Chu Yan. Chu Yan also used magic to resist the terrible heat.
"Water Magic: Heavenly Mercy Rain!"
A drizzle fell from the sky, silently moistening everything.
[Within the range of the drizzle, it absorbs 80 percent of the damage of fire attribute skills and converts it to the same amount of strength for teammates within the healing range.]
Lu Benwei was extremely shocked when he saw the skill description. How many more terrifying skills did Chu Yan have?
The Flame Monster was also shocked. His skills were completely countered. The fire attribute skills were completely useless against the human girl.
The Flame Monster's lantern-sized eyes rolled. He decided to use his physical strength to deal with these two.
The demonic flame sword slashed down, and the sky trembled as he stepped on the ground! The Flame Monster's enormous body smashed toward the two of them.
Lu Benwei's eyes did not show any emotion. He raised his fist and charged forward.
"You're going to fight me head-on?! You're looking for death!"
Lu Benwei was only the size of his finger, and he could fly out of Northwind Mountain with just a breath.
"Boom!"
Lu Benwei actually took the Flame Monster head-on! A bone-piercing pain spread from his palm to his brain.
The Flame Monster's body shook violently! This magician's power was actually far above his!
"I've actually underestimated your strength." Lu Benwei sneered.
The Flame Monster was furious. Ever since he was born, this was the first time a human dared to mock him!
The second punch was thrown out. The fist that was as big as a small mountain smashed toward Lu Benwei with great force. However, he did not panic.
Heavenly Dog's Wrath!
Heavenly Dog's Blade!
The phantom of the heavenly dog held a sharp blade in its hand and poured its power into Lu Benwei. Every cell in his body was filled with endless power. Using the law of fist force, Lu Benwei's fist quickly swung out!
At this moment, this scene was captured by the eyes of the people on the ground, and they were all shocked!
A magician was able to compete with an awakened monster in terms of physical strength. Do you dare to believe it? Would he not be smashed into meat paste?
"Boom!"
The two fists collided and terrifying shockwaves and biting cold astral winds swept in all directions.
Everyone was shocked. Under such a huge force, Lu Benwei would probably be reduced to nothing.
However, after the smoke and dust dispersed, the scene in the sky made everyone's eyes widen and their mouths open.
The Flame Monster flapped his wings, and half of his body was cut off. The blood that was as hot as lava dripped onto the ground, leaving a patch of black charcoal.
As for Lu Benwei, he was floating in the air and looking at the Flame Monster coldly.
A magician's physical strength was above that of an awakened monster king! Do you dare to believe it?
The Flame Monster's lantern-like eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief. Suddenly, he started to scream.
His body had been cut in half, and even though he had the blood of a monster king flowing in his body, he could not bear the immense pain.
On the other side, Chu Yan was overjoyed and put away her swords.
"Annoying fellow, let's take this chance to give him a follow-up attack."
Lu Benwei nodded, and his face sank. The Ancient Sword of Clarity appeared in his hand again.
Chu Yan put away her swords and picked up her magic staff again. Her eyes under her long eyelashes were cold.
Heavenly Dog's Wrath, Sharp Blade, Heavenly Dog's Blade, and Killing Aura! The four skills increased Lu Benwei and Chu Yan's abilities at the same time! The qi and blood in their bodies boiled rapidly, and their attributes rose like a rocket!
The Flame Monster's mouth was wide open as he felt the sudden change in the two of them. His back was covered in large beads of sweat. 𝓵𝓲𝙗𝓻𝓮𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎
This was the first time in his life that he felt the threat of death. Taking a deep breath, the Flame Monster dragged this half of his body and quickly retreated.
After flying for several dozen meters, he was immediately hit by a fist of pure white holy light that was as dense as rain.
Lu Benwei's One-Click Speed Support flashed in front of him.
The Flame Monster's face turned pale with fright, and his expression became one of defeat. His remaining hand clumsily waved the demonic flame sword and barely offset the Myriad Light Fist.
Chu Yan also flew over.
One from the front and one from the back, they sandwiched Yan lie in the middle.
The Flame Monster gritted his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds.
"Humans, I'll fight you to the death!"
He threw down the demonic flame sword and used his remaining hand to support the sky.
"Sky Burning Demonic Flame!"
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan's eyes flashed with cold light.
"Light of Nirvana!"
Chu Yan shouted, and the staff in her hand bloomed with a bright purple light. An array door with a destructive aura appeared in front of her. The gate of the array slowly opened, and the chanting of the grim reaper came from inside.
Lu Benwei did not want to be outdone.
The Ancient Sword of Clarity hummed, and its sword intent bloomed!
Divine Sword of Destruction was released, and the sword light soared into the sky, cutting off life and death!
"Boom!"
The magic light and sword light intertwined to form a death divine chain of order, which attacked the Flame Monster.
The powerful pressure suppressed the Flame Monster so much that he could not move, allowing the grim reaper to swing its scythe at him.
"No!"
The Flame Monster shouted in fear. A bone-piercing chill could be heard in his voice. His body was being destroyed rapidly, turning into dust and ashes that scattered in the air.
The people on the ground watched in fear.
A magician and an elementalist.
He had killed a monster king so easily that even its soul had fallen. This was a human, and a freshman! Do you dare to believe it?
It took a long time for everyone to recover from their shock and astonishment.
"You won?"
"We won?"
"We won!" someone quickly replied.
"Brother Lu Benwei led us to victory!"
"Long live Lu Benwei!"
Everyone raised their arms and shouted.
Compared to Chu Yan, Lu Benwei made more contributions, so everyone cheered for them.
On the other hand,
The students of the Hunter Special Combat Class were all covered in dirt. Their expressions were as uncomfortable as if they had eaten flies.
Gao Renchao, in particular, felt as if he had been slapped in the face. His face was burning.
Lu Benwei's strength was far above his.
Chapter 77
"Yay!" Chu Yan raised her arms and shouted, her pretty face full of joy.
Lu Benwei also let out a sigh of relief and landed with Chu Yan.
The people on the ground instantly surrounded the two of them.
"Brother Lu Benwei, you're so brave!"
"I'm telling you, when you punched the monster, I was so delighted."
"We were able to survive all thanks to you, Lu Benwei. I declare that you'll be our big brother from now on!
"Same here!" 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝓸𝙢
"Call Lu Benwei big brother when we meet him in the future!"
Lu Benwei did not know whether to laugh or cry. This group of people was at least three or four years older than him.
Lu Benwei waved his hand and said humbly, "Everyone's too serious. Everyone contributed to fighting the monsters. How can I take all the credit?"
Just as he finished speaking, the system's warning tone immediately followed.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of killing the young master Flame Monster.]
[The reward will be released soon.]
Seeing this, Lu Benwei immediately left the crowd and found a slightly more remote corner.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a rare skill: Myriad Thunder Skill]
"Chi..."
Lu Benwei heard a strange sound, and then he was enlightened. A strange voice filled with power entered his mind.
Lu Benwei soon noticed that there was a new skill called Myriad Thunder Skill in his skill bar and was immediately overjoyed.
[Myriad Thunder Skill]
[Transcendence skill]
[Effect: Able to cast a huge lightning formation, dealing 300 percent lightning damage to targets within the formation.]
Lu Benwei was overjoyed when he saw the skill description.
A transcendent-grade skill was far superior to an epic-grade or legendary-grade skill. It was a peerless treasure that could only be encountered but not sought.
Lu Benwei carefully read the detailed introduction of Myriad Thunder Skill. It could use the center target as the origin point with a radius of 50 meters. All targets within range will be struck by powerful lightning.
"It could cover a large area..." Lu Benwei sucked in a cold breath. "Furthermore, the range and damage can be increased with proficiency. As expected of a transcendent skill."
Suddenly, Lu Benwei was startled as he felt someone approaching from behind. When he turned around, he found that Hai Yue was right behind him.
"What's the matter, Miss Hai Yue?" Lu Benwei asked politely.
After a day and night of battle, everyone was in a sorry state, and Hai Yue was no exception. The sleeves of her clothes were torn apart, revealing her skin that was as white as lotus roots. Although her face had been blackened by the smoke, her eyes were still shining, bright and beautiful.
Hai Yue covered her chest with one hand and stammered as if she wanted to say something. Finally, she said, "Lu Benwei, does your team still accept people?"
"Miss Hai Yue, what do you mean by this?" Lu Benwei was a little confused.
After he finished speaking, he heard Hai Yue sigh deeply.
"Hai Yue's team only exists in name now. There are only three people left…" When Hai Yue said this, she was filled with endless grief.
Hai Yue's team had been established by her, and she had poured a lot of her blood, sweat, and tears into it. Three days ago, they were still the star battle team of Northwind Mountain, receiving the cheers and love of the people. Now, they have fallen into such a sloppy state.
Lu Benwei sighed in his heart as he patted Hai Yue's shoulder.
"Where there's life, there's hope. We can start all over again."
Hai Yue shook her head and weakly said, "It's too tiring to form a new team. I want to join your team."
Lu Benwei was speechless. He really wanted to reject Hai Yue, but he did not know how.
At this moment, Chu Yan suddenly ran over. Without saying anything, he pulled Lu Benwei's hand and walked in a certain direction.
"You're here? Everyone, get ready to clean up the battlefield. Let's hurry up, or else we'll lose all the good stuff."
"Oh, okay!"
Lu Benwei was pulled by Chu Yan and looked back at Hai Yue. He was about to open his mouth when Chu Yan blocked his mouth.
"Oh right, a bunch of people wanted to join our team just now, but I rejected them all. If anyone wants to join our team, you must not agree."
Lu Benwei shrugged and said helplessly, "Alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked toward the source of the loud noise.
Lu Benwei's face suddenly changed and he stomped his foot.
"Oh no, I forgot about the Absolute Monster Formation."
Chu Yan was dumbfounded when she heard this and slapped her head.
"No wonder I feel like I've forgotten something!"
However, at this moment, a huge energy fluctuation swept over from the main peak. Dust and smoke rolled and tumbled as if ten thousand horses were galloping.
"What do we do now?" Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"We can't go on like this. I'll try to destroy the formation!"
There was an assassin over level 30 in the group. His speed could be ranked in the top five among them!
"Swift Wind Movement!"
"Let's go!" the assassin shouted. His body turned into a shadow and he rushed toward the main peak.
"Boom!"
From the sky above the main peak, a demonic flame descended. It was extremely fast and intimidating, instantly enveloping the assassin and turning him to ashes.
Everyone's heart trembled as they watched, their eyelids twitching. What kind of monster could do this?
Above the main peak, the clouds were torn apart, and the void was shattered. A crack appeared, and countless terrifying ghostly howls of souls gushed out. Vaguely, there seemed to be a red monster claw opening this abyssal gap from the inside.
Some people released their divine senses to probe.
However, as soon as his spiritual will entered the range of the main peak, his body immediately stiffened, and his eyes turned white as he fell to the ground, trembling.
What a terrifying power. Even probing was taboo.
Someone's body could not stop trembling even though he did not do anything. He cried out, "Why are you still standing there? Let's run for our lives. When the true monster king comes out, we won't even be left with dregs."
With that, the man turned around and ran. When everyone saw this, they immediately turned and ran. There was only one person who remained unmoved.
"Annoying fellow, what are you doing?" Chu Yan asked.
"I'm going to destroy the formation!" Lu Benwei said in a deep voice.
"What did you just say? Are you crazy?"
Many people stopped in their tracks and asked in disbelief.
"Brother Lu Benwei, don't do it. There's still a chance of survival if you escape now." They began to persuade him.
"That's right, little brother. You saw it just now. With just a single exchange, that big brother assassin was turned into ashes."
"Everyone knows that you're extraordinary, but the monster sealed there is a hundred times stronger than the Flame Monster. If you go, you'll just be throwing your life away!"
Chapter 78
Only one person supported Lu Benwei. That person was Hai Yue.
She knew that someone like Lu Benwei would definitely go. There was no point in saying anything more, so Hai Yue could only wish him the best of safety.
"Be careful!"
Lu Benwei nodded and cupped his fists. "Thank you, I will!"
After a pause, Lu Benwei turned to Chu Yan. "You better stay here!"
Chu Yan stuck out her tongue. "That cave was so scary. I'm not going there a second time!"
"You better be!"
Lu Benwei activated his One-Click Speed Support and instantly jumped a long distance in the direction of the main peak.
In the sky above the main peak, the sealed supreme existence instantly locked onto Lu Benwei's position.
"You're just an ant. How dare you try to stop my resurrection?!" The ancient and strict sound made everyone's eyes twitch.
From the crack, hundreds of demonic fireballs fell. Each one of them was filled with endless flame energy that could burn everything.
Lu Benwei's eyes were calm as he continued to move forward.
"Boom boom boom!"
Several demonic flame boulders smashed into the air, leaving deep pits on the ground, like meteors falling onto earth.
When the supreme existence of the monster race saw this, he was both shocked and angry.
"Human, stop!" He only had these attacks and after Lu Benwei easily resolved them, he revealed his weak side.
Everyone on the ground was dumbfounded.
Lu Benwei jumped a long distance in an instant. Was he a magician or an assassin?
It was not over. Lu Benwei continued to move forward. He dodged one demonic flame fireball after another, and the supreme existence of the monster was helpless.
"No, no, no! Human, stop!" The voice of the supreme existence became more and more hysterical and helpless.
After Lu Benwei entered the cave, the supreme existence lowered his body.
"Little brother, please wait. As long as you can resurrect me, I promise you money, women, and the highest power of humanity!"
"You're too noisy!" Lu Benwei shouted at the sky, deafening!
The supreme existence immediately stopped talking. After a long time, he asked coldly, "Human, I ask for your name!"
"I'm Lu Benwei!" Lu Benwei said in a deep voice.
"Very good, Lu Benwei!" The supreme existence roared in anger. "I'll remember your name! In the future, when this prince is resurrected, this prince will tear you and your descendants into a thousand pieces! Your descendants will be my slaves for all eternity!"
"We'll talk when you come out!" Lu Benwei smiled.
However, the supreme existence did not respond.
Lu Benwei walked to the center of the array and felt the holy aura of the Magician Heart. It was harmonious and made one feel happy. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"It's so comfortable!"
Behind him, a quiet and comfortable sound suddenly came.
Lu Benwei was speechless.
"Chu Yan, didn't I tell you to wait outside?" he said unhappily.
Chu Yan looked at the Magician Heart and said incoherently, "Then can you guess how I got here?"
After a moment of speechlessness, Lu Benwei sighed. "It's a good thing that the monster king has stopped moving. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to get here."
"Who are you underestimating?!" Chu Yan rolled her eyes at him. "You're not the only one who has teleportation skills, okay?"
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched and he felt embarrassed. Indeed, he had underestimated her.
Chu Yan's strength was comparable to his own with the system. She was indeed powerful.
"Alright," Chu Yan said, "Don't just stand there. Let's find a way to destroy the formation."
Lu Benwei nodded. "The core of this Absolute Monster Formation is the Magician Heart. I think as long as we get the Magician Heart, the Absolute Monster Formation will also collapse."
Then, Lu Benwei stretched out his hand.
The Magician Heart was huge, and Lu Benwei held it above his head.
It was also at this moment that the light of the formation was extinguished, and the cave immediately became dark.
In the sky, the crack in the void had lost its energy support and was rapidly closing up. However, the supreme existence did not move. He must have fainted from anger.
The people on the ground were stunned.
"Is this a success?"
"Needless to say, Brother Lu Benwei must've succeeded!"
Everyone was overjoyed and cheered for Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei had saved them once again. He was indeed a young hero!
In the cave, Lu Benwei put the Magician Heart into his storage ring. His storage ring was given to him by Liu Yi, and it had a huge space inside. It was more than enough to store a Magician Heart.
At this time, the system's prompt sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a legendary heavenly material and earthly treasure – Magician Heart for the first time. You have awakened a One-Click Divine Material Talent!]
[One-Click Divine Material Talent]
[Effect: The host can consume items of equivalent value to upgrade the heaven and earth treasures he obtains.]
Lu Benwei looked at the new system assistance and was not shocked. He turned to Chu Yan and said, "The matter is settled. Let's go down."
Chu Yan was about to nod, but just like Lu Benwei, she suddenly shuddered from head to toe.
Then, a cold laugh came from the crack in the void that had yet to heal.
"Hehe, this is my poor grandson's soul! Lu Benwei, I didn't expect you to kill my grandson."
The cold laughter spread for thousands of miles. Layers of frost appeared on the ground as if goosebumps were rising.
The laughter continued, and everyone's eyes were wide open, their hearts in their throats.
"But because of you, I was able to absorb my grandson's soul. In this way, the long night of mankind is coming! Before that, Lu Benwei, I'm going to kill you!"
Lu Benwei's face was heavy as he looked at the crack in the void.
"Annoying person, idiot, why aren't you running?" Chu Yan's loud scolding pulled Lu Benwei back to reality. She pulled Lu Benwei's hand and used magic to escape.
"Crack! Crack!"
The sky shattered like a mirror, and the blood-red flame burned for thousands of miles. Terrifying demonic qi spewed out from it and covered the earth, making everyone anxious.
In Northwind Mountain, all the monsters knelt on the ground toward the main peak, welcoming the appearance of that supreme existence.
"Crack!"
The void shattered, and demonic qi spread across the mountains and rivers. A mountain-like Flame Monster beast appeared. He had a terrifying appearance and unfathomable strength.
He let out a breath of turbid air, and a boiling hot breath gushed out, crushing the mountains and rivers.
Forests were set on fire one after another. The flames soared into the sky, dyeing the sky blood-red.
It was like the end of the world!
Chapter 79
"Boom boom boom!"
On the main peak.
That supreme existence flapped its wings, exuding both terror and might as it looked down on the world. The Monster King glanced at them indifferently.
Everyone's eyes were wide open as they gasped for breath, their bodies shaking.
"It's over, it's over."
Some of them knelt as if their legs were filled with lead, their mouths filled with endless despair.
"What should we do?" 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"We have to hold him back and wait for the experts to suppress him," Hai Yue suddenly said in a deep voice from the crowd.
Everyone froze when they heard this.
"Stall him? Are you kidding me?"
"This Monster King just needs to move his fingers, and we'll all die. Why should we use our heads to stall him?!"
"Then, should I just watch as it kills all the people in the surrounding cities?" Hai Yue asked coldly.
Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, Hai Yue said, "We're hunters, and our mission is to protect our compatriots from being attacked by monsters. I know that we're about to face the threat of death," Hai Yue said in a deep voice after a short pause, "But, we're obliged to defend against the monsters!"
After saying that, Hai Yue put on her knight's armor and rushed toward the Monster King.
In the crowd, someone gritted his teeth and said, "Running away doesn't mean we can escape. It's better to die with dignity!"
"Miss Hai Yue, I'll join you!"
Some people were encouraged and rushed forward.
The Monster King sneered.
"Ant-like humans want to stop me?"
"Demonic Flame Fury!"
The Monster King waved his hand. A huge ball of black demonic flames shot toward the crowd.
The attack range was extremely large, and there was no way to avoid it! Everyone was shocked and hurriedly used their defensive skills!
The Monster King snorted coldly and said, "A mantis trying to stop a chariot."
The giant hand clenched in the air! The black demonic flames exploded instantly, turning the ground into purgatory.
Nearly half of the people were affected, and their bodies turned into charcoal by the explosion. The difference in strength was so great that it made one flabbergasted.
Lu Benwei's heart was bleeding as he watched this terrifying scene from the sky!
"I'm going to kill you!" Lu Benwei's eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched, his nails deeply digging into his flesh.
Lu Benwei broke free from Chu Yan's grip and turned to face the Monster King.
"Annoying fellow, don't go!" Chu Yan grabbed Lu Benwei's clothes tightly.
"That's a high-level Monster King!"
Monster Kings were divided into lower Monster King, middle Monster King, and upper Monster King, which corresponded to human levels 60,70, and 80, respectively!
In other words, they were facing a rank-80 powerhouse! The gap between them could not be closed by relying on talent!
"This Monster King has specifically said that he wants to kill you," Chu Yan said seriously.
"If you go against him, you'll really die, and you'll die an ugly death." Chu Yan bared her fangs and brandished her claws as if she was threatening Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei calmed down and said, "Chu Yan, you're right. But I can't just watch this Monster King slaughter our compatriots!"
After a pause, Lu Benwei said softly, "Chu Yan, this time you mustn't follow me or you'll lose your life!"
Then, Lu Benwei activated One-Click Speed Support and moved toward the Monster King.
"Annoying fellow!" Chu Yan exclaimed. Chu Yan changed her direction and wanted to catch up with Lu Benwei.
"Boom!"
Bolts of lightning fell from the sky with astonishing power.
Chu Yan stopped in a hurry, her beautiful eyes filled with shock!
The area around the main peak had already become a pool of lightning!
Countless thunderbolts fell, killing all living beings in the area.
What was even more shocking was that this pool of lightning was actually Lu Benwei's skill!
Myriad Thunder Skill!
One-Click Skill Support upgraded the proficiency of Myriad Thunder Skill to an A grade skill. Both the damage and the area of effect had increased!
To stop Chu Yan from following him and to lock the upper Monster King in this world, he created this lightning cage with his own power. At the same time, he had imprisoned himself.
Lu Benwei floated in front of the Monster King and stared at him coldly.
The thunderbolts struck the Monster King, tearing a small wound on its skin. However, the next second, the wounds on the Monster King's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Benwei activated the Eye of Insight and read the information about the Monster King.
[Flame monster ancient emperor.]
[Race: Balrog.]
[Level: Level 85 Monster King]
[Skills: Flame Monster Slash, Demonic Flame Fury, Inferno Strangle, Sky Burning Demonic Flame, Demonic Flame Breath, and Residual Flame Fury.]
[The ancient emperor of the 72 monster clans, the Balrog clan. He's very powerful. Nine level-80 hunters fought against him for three days and three nights before he was sealed.]
Lu Benwei's scalp went numb as he looked at the dense introduction. Nine level-80 hunters fought with it for three days and three nights before they managed to seal it! What kind of terrifying existence was this?!
"I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to me!"
The Monster King's cold voice sounded.
"Is this thunder skill yours?" he asked.
"Yes!" Lu Benwei coldly replied.
The Monster King suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha! I like such a grand ceremony to celebrate my new life!"
The thunderbolts had already turned this area into a sea of lightning. The sound was so loud that it sounded like ten thousand horses galloping above the clouds!
Lu Benwei smiled.
"Indeed, the ceremony of rebirth and the funeral are held on the same day. There's only one such ceremony in the world."
"A funeral? Why is that?" the Monster King asked.
Lu Benwei sneered. "Why? Today is your rebirth and also your funeral!"
The Monster King was furious! "You're at death's door and you're still so stubborn!"
It opened its huge mouth and a ray of demonic light shot out.
Lu Benwei's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. Holy Light Shield and Heavenly Light Shield were released at the same time!
"Boom!"
The magic light pierced through the Holy Light Shield, and its speed increased! Lu Benwei was shocked. He released Lightning Speed and One-Click Speed Support to increase his speed by 10 times!
Just as he turned his body, The magic light pierced through Lu Benwei's shoulder, but fortunately, it was fine.
"Chi!"
[Barbaric Bloodline activated!
Lu Benwei's injuries instantly recovered and a layer of shield appeared on his body.
The Monster King's expression froze. "I failed to kill you?"
Lu Benwei covered his shoulder and sneered, "I see."
The moment the magic light hit him, Lu Benwei instantly realized that the Monster King's strength had not reached its peak.
"Without the Magician Heart and the sacrifices of other creatures, you haven't recovered your full strength! Otherwise, you can kill me in an instant!"
Lu Benwei sighed in relief. With this layer of protection, Lu Benwei could at least delay the Monster King for half an hour.
Calculating the time, the school and the hunter experts should have arrived by the time they found out about the incident in Northwind Mountain.
"Come on, let me send you on your way!" Lu Benwei roared!
Chapter 80
The Monster King roared back.
"Little thief, even if I haven't reached the peak, I'll still slaughter all of you humans!"
"Inferno Strangle!"
The Monster King's claw grabbed at the air. Suddenly, Lu Benwei's surrounding space shattered and he was 'locked' in this small space.
Lu Benwei sneered and activated Speed Reduction Support!
Teleportation!
Inferno Strangle missed!
The Monster King was stunned for a moment before a sinister smile came from his mouth.
"You can dodge my Inferno Strangle, you're really something! However, you must die today!" He roared after a pause.
"Sky Burning Demonic Flame!"
It spat out countless balls of black demonic flames, dyeing the already blood-red sky black and red, making it look like a scene from purgatory.
At this moment, Lu Benwei's body shook. His internal organs seemed to be on fire, and the hot air he exhaled from his mouth and nose made his eyes burn.
[Demonic Flame Fury]
[All living beings within the range would be roasted by the demonic flames!]
Lu Benwei kept casting Minor Healing on himself.
After using Minor Healing, Lu Benwei's blood was restored to full, but the next second, his blood dropped rapidly.
"What a shocking amount of healing! It seems like killing you will take quite a bit of effort!" the Monster King exclaimed.
"I've suddenly become interested in you. A magician with such speed and so many amazing defensive methods. Are you interested in becoming my human servant?"
"You old dog! Are you interested in being my servant? I'll give you a salary of five yuan a day!" Lu Benwei sneered.
"Die!" The Monster King was furious as he flapped his wings and charged at Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei's eyes lit up and he roared, "Old fart, I've been waiting for you!
"Killing Aura, Sharp Blade, Heavenly Dog's Wrath, and Heavenly Dog's Blade!"
The four great amplification skills were released at the same time, and the phantom of the heavenly dog, and all kinds of other strange phenomena appeared.
Lu Benwei's attributes increased at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He held the Ancient Sword of Clarity in his hand and put on the Viper Set. His combat power and other attributes rose sharply!
It was also at this moment that the Monster King's giant fist arrived.
"Die!" the Monster King ordered.
The mountain-like fist would turn Lu Benwei into a pool of blood if it landed heavily on his body. At this critical moment, Lu Benwei's lips curved up.
Lightning Speed and One-Click Speed Support were activated, and Lu Benwei seemed to have mastered the law of speed. In an instant, he was behind the Monster King.
The Ancient Sword of Clarity in his hand hummed, and the sword essence bloomed with light!
"Divine Sword of Destruction, release!"
"Boom!"
The Divine Sword of Destruction headed straight for the Monster King's head! The Monster King instantly felt the killing intent behind him and twisted his body in panic to avoid the attack.
"Chi..."
The sword light brushed the Monster King's horn and cut it off. He was furious!
"Lu Benwei, I want you to die!"
The next second, the Monster King released a terrifying demonic qi. Wherever it went, the spatial laws were sealed.
Lu Benwei wanted to teleport away but found that it was useless.
"Boom!"
A ball of demonic flame flew toward Lu Benwei. Seeing this, could only use Lightning Speed to quickly dodge. His speed was extremely fast as if he could shrink the ground into inches.
Lu Benwei held his breath and focused on avoiding the demonic flames. However, there were too many of them and he was finally hit.
"Boom!"
The raging flames corroded Lu Benwei's internal organs and turned him into a man of fire.
"You really are an ant!"
The Monster King flew over and looked at him as if he was looking at a toy.
The demonic flame had a high temperature, but it was constantly pouring vitality into Lu Benwei. He felt like his heart was being torn apart by the hot temperature.
"Old fart, give me a quick death if you have the guts!"
"Hahaha!" When the Monster King heard this, it was like he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
He looked at Lu Benwei and sneered. "If I give you a quick death, how am I going to take my revenge slowly?"
"You killed my grandson, almost ruined my plan, and even broke my horn. Do you think this can appease my anger?"
The Monster King used the power of the void to make Lu Benwei float in front of them.
"Chi!"
The Monster King took away the flames from Lu Benwei's body and said coldly, "I'll destroy your physical body and extract your soul. I'll let you suffer the torture of your soul for all eternity!"
He clenched his fist in the air. Lu Benwei felt a void force fall from the top of his head, like an invisible hand tearing his soul.
The soul-tearing force made Lu Benwei feel a heart-wrenching pain. Large beads of sweat immediately soaked his clothes.
"Old fart, go to hell!" Lu Benwei cursed, grinding his teeth.
"Divine Sword of Destruction, release!"
Myriad Light Fist was thrown at the Monster King!
At the same time, Myriad Thunder Skill contracted as the killing lightning bolt struck the Monster King!
"Boom boom boom!"
The explosions continued, and brilliant sparks appeared on the Monster King's body. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to make him feel pain.
The Monster King staggered back, and the power that was tearing Lu Benwei's soul was also released.
Lu Benwei took advantage of the situation and quickly retreated into the distance.
"It's no use, I've already sealed the space of this world, you can't escape!" The Monster King's arrogant voice resounded. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Who said that?" At this time, a lazy voice came from the horizon.
"Who is it?" the Monster King asked in shock. Anyone who could break his seal must be a human expert!
"Principal?!" Lu Benwei said excitedly. He was very familiar with the voice. It was Chen Yuan!
Finally, on the distant horizon, a few divine rainbows quickly flew over. Chen Yuan, the president of Zhejiang Hunter University, a level-86 magician!
Wang Wei, the teacher of the Hunter Special Combat Class of Zhejiang Hunter University, a level-81 assassin!
…
Liu Yi, the person in charge of the Support Department of Zhejiang Hunter University, a level-61 supporter.
"Principal, Mr. Liu, you're finally here!" Lu Benwei was excited.
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows lazily and replied lazily, "They've all come."
"But I was blocked by a thunder skill and spent a bit of time. That's not all. After breaking it open with great difficulty, I found out that this void was sealed by this demonic monster. So, I spent a little more time there.
Lu Benwei was speechless.
Liu Yi came to Lu Benwei's side. "Alright, don't just stand there. We'll leave this place to the principal and the others. Follow me!"
Chapter 81
"You can still walk, right?" Liu Yi asked with concern.
Before Lu Benwei could answer, Liu Yi continued, "Forget it, I'll carry you!"
After that, Liu Yi carried Lu Benwei on his back.
"Where are you running to?!" The Monster King roared. He flapped his wings as he prepared to catch up to Liu Yi!
"Do you think we're invisible? Die!" Wang Wei roared as he split into countless clones, forming a human wall that blocked the Monster King's path.
"Demonic Flame Fury!"
"Shadow Kill Formation!"
Wang Wei's clone danced wildly in the air, forming a killing formation! In the killing formation, every doppelganger was holding a pair of daggers, and it was a thrilling sight.
The killing formation was snatching away the Monster King's life! His strength was dropping at an alarming rate.
"Human, human!" The Monster King howled. "If it's at its peak, why would I be afraid of you ants?!"
The Monster King stomped on the ground and broke through the formation.
Wang Wei's eyes were cold as he said in disdain, "Trying to break free from my restraints? Aren't you afraid that your body and soul will be shattered?"
He chanted an incantation, and the great slaughter formation instantly became abnormally violent.
The Monster King roared in pain!
"Hehe!" Wang Wei laughed proudly. "If you were at your peak, my killing formation might not be able to trap you for a second. Unfortunately, you're disabled."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Chen Yuan suddenly said. "Let's attack together and destroy his soul and body so he can't reincarnate!"
Everyone responded in unison and unleashed all sorts of powerful skills at the Monster King!
"Boom boom boom!"
The earth trembled, and the power spread for a thousand feet.
"What an intense battle!"
Liu Yi carried Lu Benwei on his back and looked back at the battle in the sky with envy.
"Mr. Liu, are you envious?"
On his back, Lu Benwei could see through some of Liu Yi's thoughts.
"Nonsense! It's dangerous to fight. You'll lose your life if you're not careful."
Liu Yi quickly turned his head and denied it.
"You're risking your life!" he said after a pause, "A magician actually dares to face the Monster King."
"It was an emergency. If no one stopped him, the nearby cities would have been in trouble." Lu Benwei laughed.
"I'm a hunter!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi was stunned. He smiled and said,
"Good child! But the next time you encounter such a situation, you can't rashly show off your ability. It's too dangerous!"
"Got it," Lu Benwei replied with a faint smile.
"You've done a great job in fending off the monsters. You've commanded the destruction of the monster army and killed the young master Flame Monster. When you return, you'll be given the resources that you want. As your mentor, I'm proud of you!"
"Have Chu Yan and the others been rescued?" Lu Benwei asked.
When Liu Yi heard this, he laughed and said, "Damn, that little girl was so anxious in front of the lightning pool that she even cried. I think this little girl is flirting with you."
Before they could finish, they heard Chu Yan's voice.
"Speaking of the devil." Liu Yi sighed.
Then, the three of them met and Lu Benwei got off Liu Yi's back.
Chu Yan was the first to speak up. "Annoying fellow, you're still alive!"
Hearing this, Lu Benwei's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to speak, a loud noise came from the sky. The three of them were shocked and looked up at the sky after they came back to their senses.
"What is that?" the three of them exclaimed in shock.
A huge crack appeared in the sky. Then, a demonic creature that was similar in size to the Monster King descended onto the battlefield in the sky and spoke in a profound voice, "Ancestor, I'm here."
Lu Benwei's pupils shrank and he activated the Eye of Insight.
[Flame Monster Emperor]
[Race: Balrog]
[Level: Level 87 Monster King]
[Skills: Flame Monster Slash, Demonic Flame Fury, Inferno Strangle, Sky Burning Demonic Flame, Demonic Flame Breath, Residual Flame Fury, and Flame Monster King.]
[The current emperor of the Flame Monster clan, one of the 72 monster clans, has terrifying strength.] 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝙢
At this moment, the Monster King was in a sorry state as he was being pushed back by Chen Yuan and the others.
Now, the situation on the battlefield has reversed.
With the addition of a peak level-87 Flame Monster Emperor, a single strike was enough to break the siege.
"Ancestor, are you alright?" Flame Monster Emperor asked.
"No problem!" Monster King shook his head.
The Flame Monster Emperor heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "Alright! Then it's time to settle the score with the humans!"
The sound of the fire spread for hundreds of miles, and the surrounding area turned into a sea of fire.
Chen Yuan's expression was solemn. This was a real high-level Monster King with terrifying and unimaginable strength!
Chen Yuan's face was solemn as he ordered, "Everyone, suppress them in Northwind Mountain at all costs."
When the two monsters heard this, they both smiled. "Suppress us! Naive! Demonic Flame Fury!"
The two devils spat out black demonic flames that could burn everything. The flames soared into the sky and covered the sun, burning everything in their path.
Chen Yuan held a huge meteorite staff in his hand. In the air around him, there were crackling sounds of thunder and lightning, accompanied by the whistling of the wind.
He muttered, "Wind and Thunder Twin Dragons!"
The staff in his hand shot out the wind and thunder twin dragons, bombarding the heads of the two monsters!
On the other side, Wang Wei was holding a shiny dagger and slashing at the void.
Behind the Flame Monster Emperor, a huge skeleton shadow appeared. It was wearing armor and holding a huge blade.
The others also used their own abilities and launched powerful attacks.
The Flame Monster Emperor did not panic at all as he flapped his wings.
"Flame King Shield!" A huge shield appeared in the Flame Monster Emperor's hand.
"Clang!" The giant blade in the skeleton's hand struck the shield, making an ear-piercing buzzing sound.
At the same time, the Flame Monster Emperor also activated all sorts of techniques.
The humans and monsters were locked in a fierce battle. The earth collapsed and the sky shattered. No one could do anything to the other!
Chen Yuan's eyes were red from killing. The two elements of wind and thunder danced wildly in his hands. All kinds of skills were used, and all kinds of strange phenomena appeared, but they could not do anything to the two monsters.
"Principal, we can't go on like this!" Wang Wei had a bad feeling and said to Chen Yuan.
"Demonic monsters have a stronger recovery ability than us. We should fight quickly!"
The two demon kings laughed. "Humans, this is what you claim to be suppressing us. If you come with twice the number of people, I also won't be afraid!
Chen Yuan smiled noncommittally. "Really? Are you sure?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud shining with golden light floated over from the sky. Compared to the dark clouds in the sky, it seemed so out of place.
"Who's there?! The two monsters were shocked at the same time and asked in a stern voice.
On the golden cloud stood a group of people in heavy armor as if they were divine soldiers descending from the sky.
The man in the lead was nine feet long, and his body was as tough as steel.
"The person who will take your life!" the man replied coldly.
The experts from Zhejiang Hunter University were overjoyed.
The Ice Dragon Army?!
Chapter 82
The Ice Dragon Army was a powerful army that guarded Zhejiang City.
Their commander was the legendary top combat class – Judgment Paladin!
[Name: Su Kongcheng]
[Class: Holy Messenger of Judgment (class change from Judgment Paladin)]
[Level: 89]
A few miles away, Lu Benwei activated the Eye of Insight to read the information of the person standing on the cloud. He was quite shocked.
Judgment Paladins were the top of the fighting class. His strength was terrifying and unimaginable!
In addition to Su Kongcheng, the other hunters of the Ice Dragon Army above the clouds were also above level 70.
With their participation, the situation on the battlefield was reversed again.
At this moment, Su Kongcheng held the Holy Spear of Judgment in his right hand and the Light of Judgment in his left.
"Ice Dragon Army, listen up! Follow me and kill the Monster King!"
"Yes, sir!" An earth-shaking roar came from the golden cloud.
Immediately after, dozens of powerful hunters jumped down from the golden cloud. They held strange weapons and used all kinds of divine abilities.
The people from Zhejiang Hunter University were not to be outdone either. Chen Yuan, Wang Wei, and the others were already in a frenzy.
"Lightning Punishment!"
In the sky, the thunder rumbled deafeningly. A huge pillar of lightning struck down.
The speed was so fast that the two monsters had no time to dodge. They were struck until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and black smoke came out of their mouths.
Wang Wei took advantage of the situation to perform his assassination divine technique.
Countless tiny dark figures stabbed at the two monsters' foreheads, injecting the poison of death from their daggers.
The two monsters looked at each other and one of them said, "As long as there's life, there's hope. Let's leave this place first and then seek revenge on the humans later!"
"Alright!"
After saying that, the two of them shrank rapidly and retracted their huge wings, finally shrinking to the size of children. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂
The rolling demonic flames blasted toward the crowd, and the two monsters took the opportunity to escape.
"Hmph, you want to escape?"
Su Kongcheng's eyes shot out two rays of light, and the Light of Judgment in his hand burst out.
"Order of Judgment!"
In the sky, four giant judgment spears descended from the four corners. The giant spears emitted a dazzling golden light screen that connected with each other, forming a square space.
"The space is sealed?" The two monsters were shocked at the same time, and their voices were filled with despair.
The Monster King wanted to break free from this space by force.
"Demonic Flame Slash!"
One after another, fiery sword qi swept across everything and hit the golden light screen with clanging sounds.
"Monster, obediently accept your death!" Su Kongcheng coldly said, "Any resistance is futile."
"Die! The Monster King was furious as he turned his flame sword around and slashed at Su Kongcheng.
Su Kongcheng flicked his wrist, and the Holy Spear of Judgment shot out a ray of holy light, which easily dissolved the attack.
"No!"
Monster King was furious and his hysterical howl spread over ten thousand miles. After a long time, the strange howls finally stopped.
The hunters from Zhejiang Hunter University and the Ice Dragon Army had already surrounded the two monsters, forming an inescapable net.
After the Monster King stopped howling, his eyes were dazed for a long time.
Finally, he moved and whispered a few words to the Flame Monster Emperor.
Su Kongcheng and the others were stunned, and doubt rose in their eyes.
The Flame Monster Emperor's eyes suddenly lost focus and he said in disbelief, "Ancestor, are you really going to do this?"
"Enough with the nonsense!" the Monster King replied, "We'll avenge in the future!"
After saying that, he spread his wings and charged toward the humans alone, leaving the Flame Monster Emperor behind.
Wang Wei and many other people said jokingly, "Is he planning to fight to the death?"
"Ridiculous!"
However, only Chen Yuan and Su Kongcheng's eyes were filled with doubt.
"Is he…?"
The Monster King's body glowed with demonic light as black demonic qi continued to flow out from his body.
Chen Yuan's body shook. "Not good, he's going to self-destruct!"
The experts from Zhejiang Hunter University were shocked.
The power of a level-80 Monster King's self-destruction was unimaginable! The entire Northwind Mountain would be turned into scorched earth!
However, there was not a trace of panic on the faces of the Ice Dragon Army's powerful hunters.
Su Kongcheng pointed the spear in his hand and retracted the four giant spears of the Order of Judgment.
The golden barrier of light also began to shrink, sealing the Monster King in a narrow space.
The Monster King's body began to rapidly expand as if something was spewing out of it.
"Boom!"
A deafening sound as if the sky had fallen and the earth had caved in, spread out from the narrow space of the golden light curtain for ten thousand miles. However, the range of the explosion was firmly locked within that space.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Is this the power of judgment of the paladins? How terrifying!" Wang Wei and the others exclaimed.
Su Kongcheng said indifferently, "You must be joking. It's all thanks to the hunters from Zhejiang who discovered it first. Otherwise, this monster would've caused an inextinguishable disaster to the surrounding cities!"
After a pause, Su Kongcheng sighed. "It's a pity that the remaining monster took the opportunity to escape."
After saying that, he ordered a few experts to chase after the Flame Monster Emperor.
Chen Yuan told Wang Wei and the others to leave first. In the sky, only Su Kongcheng and Chen Yuan were left.
"Commander Su, is there something you need me for?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked.
Su Kongcheng nodded and said, "Principal Chen, according to your school's report, the attack has been going on for a long time, but only the main peak of Northwind Mountain has signs of destruction. Which expert could hold this monster back for so long?"
Chen Yuan laughed proudly. "Hahaha!"
"Commander Su, if I'm serious, you better believe me!"
"Principal Chen, please don't keep us in suspense," Su Kongcheng said anxiously.
"I won't hide it from you. The one who stopped this monster is a freshman in our school."
On his way here, Chen Yuan had already known what had happened.
When Su Kongcheng heard this, his mouth opened wide. "First-year student? Principal Chen, are you joking?"
"Haha!" Chen Yuan laughed again. "Commander Su, if I say that this freshman is a magician, would you think that I'm even crazier?"
The corner of Su Kongcheng's mouth twitched, and he covered his temples with both hands. "Magician… No, I need to take a break."
A magician and a freshman at that was able to stop a Monster King for such a long time.
Hearing this, everyone had to take a break.
Su kKongcheng said after a long time, "Principal Chen, if what you said is true, can I meet this student?"
"No!" Chen Yuan refused decisively. "I know what you're thinking. It won't be too late for you to consider letting him join the Ice Dragon Army when he has really grown up in the future."
…
It had been a day since the Monster King crisis ended, and Jiujiang City had a brief period of peace.
Lu Benwei returned to the campus. However, he noticed something was wrong when he stepped into the school gate.
The students in the school looked at Lu Bingwei with 70 percent shock and 30 percent respect. It was as if everyone knew about his past.
"Mr. Liu, what's the situation?"
Mr. Liu laughed heartily, unable to contain the pride in his voice. "Lu Benwei, you're now the number one freshman in name and reality!"
Chapter 83
"Really? Has the matter already spread throughout the school?" Lu Benwei asked.
"Of course. If you don't believe me, you can check our school's intranet," Liu Yi replied without hesitation.
Lu Benwei did not say anything and logged into the school forum. On the front page of the forum, there were all topics about him.
#The second place of the Freshmen Tournament, Lu Benwei, single-handedly suppressed the monster uprising!#
#High-definition video leaked, Lu Benwei's close combat against a monster!#
#An all-round analysis of Lu Benwei's strength!#
…
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched as he was quite curious. Therefore, he clicked on a topic that had been released earlier and was the most popular.
[The king-level demonic monster and its minions were killed in seconds. How terrifying is the strength of the second-ranked freshman?!]
The video of Lu Benwei's battle with the Flame Monster was quite clear. In the first half of the video, the comments were filled with doubts and sneers.
"Tsk, it's the title party again!"
"Who doesn't know that the second place in this year's Freshmen Tournament is a magician who defeated a king-level monster? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Our school is a proper school. It's all about one's ability. If you want to create hype, why don't you leave?!"
However, halfway through the video, Lu Benwei's punch on a small monster filled the screen with question marks.
In the end, Lu Benwei's Divine Sword of Destruction killed a group of monsters, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Would you believe that a magician could kill a group of monsters in seconds?
"This is too f*cking fake. Is this something a magician can do?"
"How could the second-ranked student have such a terrifying attack?"
"Hey, I don't believe that a magician can have such a terrifying ability!"
It was also because of this video that everyone went to verify it.
The people he was seeking confirmation from were no less than the teachers and students who had just returned from Northwind Mountain. Without exception, they all confirmed that it was Lu Benwei who did it.
The students in the school were all dumbfounded. Not only did they know that Lu Benwei had led the team to defeat wave after wave of monsters, but they also knew that he had held back a Monster King for nearly an hour!
What kind of existence was the Monster King? He could shake the entire Jiujiang City with a stomp of his foot.
Shocking!
Dumbfounded! 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝓸𝙢
Confusion!
"I suddenly can't find the meaning of life. A magician was able to defeat an army of monsters and held back a high-level Monster King!"
"I remember this kid. He seems to have triggered +10 blessings in a row at the equipment upgrade area. He's actually Lu Benwei?!"
"10 enhanced blessings.? F*ck, how terrifying is this enhancement?"
When a group of people learned that Lu Benwei had +10 blessing equipment, they were all envious.
"I want to be his apprentice. I want to learn his amazing skills. I want to inherit his +10 blessing equipment!"
"I also want to join Lu Benwei's sect!"
"I want to be Brother Lu Benwei's dog!"
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched as he looked at the comments. The video was still playing on its own.
"Wait, why does this angle look so familiar?"
Lu Benwei suddenly noticed something wrong. The video was clear and sometimes the angle was very close. He was stunned and hurriedly checked the uploader's information.
As expected, the uploader was really Chu Yan!
It was not just this video, but many of the topics were started by Chu Yan. Then, he heard Liu Yi's voice.
"Mr. Liu, you've made me miserable!" Lu Benwei's mouth twitched.
Liu Yi laughed dryly and said, "What's wrong? I'm letting the whole school know about you. It'll be helpful for you in the future!"
"What kind of help?"
"I'll be able to supervise you better!" Liu Yi said with a thick face.
Lu Benwei was speechless and complained, "Are you going to say that he's your student so you can show off in front of others in the future?"
At this time, Liu Yi patted Lu Benwei's shoulder. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Follow me!"
"Where to?"
"You've made a great contribution in repelling the demonic monsters. The school's higher-ups have unanimously decided to let you enter the Musashi tower again!"
After saying that, Liu Yi showed the ancient bronze key of the tower of martial arts in his hand.
Lu Benwei was dumbfounded.
"Enter the tower of martial arts again?"
This kind of opportunity was hard to come by. Ignoring his physical fatigue, Lu Benwei followed Liu Yi to the secret area of the library.
The robot responsible for guarding the tower automatically recognized Lu Benwei and invited him to the formation in front of the tower.
Liu Yi was excited. This was his first time opening the gate of the tower of martial arts.
He cleared his throat and said excitedly, "Since the era of hunters, all pioneers who have resisted the monsters, please listen to my call! I pray for you to guide and lead me to dispel the haze!"
The voice fell.
The ancient bronze key slowly floated into the eye of the magic door, and then it emitted a blue crystal-like radiance. The light followed the lines of the magic door and slowly extended to the outside.
Ding! Ding!
After a crisp sound, the magic door slowly opened.
The breeze was mixed with a musty smell of old things. Lu Benwei followed Liu Yi and slowly entered the space behind the magic door.
"Go down, I'll wait for you here," Liu Yi said softly, afraid of disturbing the ancestral spirits in the tower.
Lu Benwei nodded and jumped in.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Liu Yi stared at the tower, which was exploring the nine heavens and hell.
"I really don't know what kind of skills Lu Benwei can learn. If it's a skill like the Divine Sword of Destruction, it will make that kid take some detours in his future!"
It was also at this moment that the area above the ancient tower suddenly began to flash with a blood-red light. The quiet ancient tower began to fill with the smell of blood.
At the same time, all sorts of violent auras came from above. Liu Yi's expression changed drastically.
"This commotion, is it that ancestor spirit? Lu Benwei chose one of his skills? This shouldn't be the case. Is Lu Benwei confused?"
At the same time, Lu Benwei was talking to the soul of an ancestor.
This senior's body revealed itself. His body was covered in wounds, and his eyes were blood-red like that of a ferocious beast. His face was detestable.
"Lu Benwei, congratulations on learning Blood Fusion but you have to be prepared for a bad ending."
Lu Benwei cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior, but I've made up my mind."
[Blood Fusion]
[A powerful skill that can fuse with all the bloodlines in the world. As long as one's attributes are strong enough, one can absorb the bloodlines of all living beings and enhance one's four attributes!]
This was a bloodthirsty skill that absorbed the bloodlines of all living beings. It was destined that the one who learned it would not have a good ending.
Chapter 84
This senior was the same. Once, he had relied on this blood-sucking skill to become an expert and slaughter all the ferocious monsters in the world. In the end, he suffered a backlash and exploded to death.
Lu Benwei returned to reality and bowed to the ancestor's memorial tablet three times.
When he returned to the high platform, he found that Liu Yi was so anxious that he was pacing in circles.
After seeing Lu Benwei come up, Liu Yi took the lead. "Lu Benwei, you're so silly! Don't you know what this skill is?"
"I know," Lu Benwei replied.
Liu Yi glared at Lu Benwei and pointed at his chest. "If you know, why are you still learning it? Moreover, this skill clearly doesn't match your growth path as a magician. This skill is harmful and has no benefits!"
Liu Yi's voice was very urgent as if Lu Benwei was about to explode and die.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry. I know what I'm doing! I'm just trying to improve my strength quickly so that you can have more face in the future!" Lu Benwei hurriedly said.
Liu Yi stopped poking Lu Benwei and sighed. "It doesn't matter if I have face or not, but I can't just watch you walk on a path of no return. If you've learned it, so be it, he said after a pause, "If you want to absorb the blood of living beings in the future, let me know in advance."
"I know!" Lu Benwei replied with a faint smile.
Then, Liu Yi waved his hand. "You can leave first. I'll go to the top-secret area to see if there's a way to offset the backlash of Blood Fusion.
"Mr. Liu, you don't have to worry about me." Before Lu Benwei could finish, Liu Yi had already walked away.
Lu Benwei had chosen this double-edged sword skill after much consideration. He knew that as long as his four attributes were strong enough, the Ancient Sword of Clarity's multiple attribute boosts would be even more effective.
Shrugging, Lu Benwei was ready to go back to the dormitory to take a hot bath and sleep. Stepping out of the library, suddenly, he heard a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps behind him. He stopped and turned around.
A scruffy man was rapidly approaching him.
Then, the scruffy man saw that Lu Benwei had noticed him. His eyes flashed with a green light of greed, and his legs moved faster as he quickly ran toward Lu Benwei.
'A thief? Is it a fly looking for trouble again?' Lu Benwei's mind was crazily thinking of countermeasures.
When the scruffy man ran to Lu Benwei, he knelt and hit the ground with his head.
"Big Brother!"
"Huh?" Lu Benwei was stunned. "No, brother, who are you?"
The slovenly man lifted the long hair that covered his face and said excitedly, "It's me, Big Brother. Do you still remember me?"
"Master Tang?" Lu Benwei finally remembered who this scruffy man was.
It was Master Tang, the one who gave Lu Benwei the enhanced Viper Set.
"Big Brother, you really do remember me!"
Master Tang excitedly hugged Lu Benwei's thigh and rubbed his oily face against Lu Benwei's. His rough beard pierced through his clothes and into Lu Benwei's skin.
The surrounding passers-by all looked at Lu Bingwei with strange eyes, full of ridicule.
Lu Benwei took a deep breath and goosebumps appeared all over his body. He almost vomited the dinner he had the night before when he saw the middle-aged man who was more than ten years older than him doing such a thing to him.
"Master Tang, what's up?" Lu Benwei asked.
Master Tang raised his head with tears in his eyes.
"Big Brother, ever since you successfully enhanced your equipment and triggered your talent, I've tried to enhance other people's equipment, but I've never succeeded."
After a pause, he continued excitedly, "After trying for many days, I finally realized that you're the key to my successful enhancement!"
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched.
The success rate of this forced enhancement was unparalleled. Other than him, who was cheating, no one could successfully enhance under his hands.
"Master Tang, why did you come to find me?" Lu Benwei said. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎
"Big Brother, don't call me Master Tang." Master Tang wiped his tears and continued, "My name is Tang Kun so from now on, just call me Kun! I want to be your personal enhancer."
"Ah…" Lu Benwei was speechless.
"Big Brother, are you not willing to accept me as your little brother?" Tang Kun was extremely disappointed.
There was a thump.
Master Tang knelt in front of Lu Benwei again, hugging his thigh and crying about how hard it was for him.
"Big Brother, you don't know how hard my life is. My parents haven't doted on me since I was young. When I grew up, I awakened the class of an enhancer, but I never succeeded. I've been ridiculed for so many years. It wasn't easy for me to meet you, but you don't want me."
At this time, more and more people were watching this scene. They were even pointing at them.
"Who are these two men? In broad daylight, they're kneeling, hugging someone's thigh, and crying. What are they doing?"
"How disgusting! They look like a pair of gay men!"
Lu Benwei felt like cursing in his heart. 'You're the one who's gay, your whole family is gay!'
He wished he could slap Tang Kun to death! He was helpless.
In order not to attract more attention, Lu Benwei could only agree. "Okay, okay, I agree to be your big brother. But you don't have to be my personal enhancer. When I reach the second transition and awaken a higher talent, I'll definitely look for you to strengthen it."
"Really?" Tang Kun was overjoyed.
"It's true!"
Tang Kun's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. "Thank you, Big Brother. What other instructions do you have for me?"
Lu Benwei frowned. "Nothing. I just came back from outside and haven't slept for a long time. I'm going back to the dormitory to sleep."
"You can go back first."
Tang Kun nodded and watched Lu Benwei leave.
After walking for a while and making sure that Tang Kun was not following him, Lu Benwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, I was almost mistaken for a gay."
At this moment, someone patted Lu Benwei's shoulder from behind.
He turned around, but the person had turned, bringing with her the fragrance of magnolia.
Lu Benwei had no choice but to turn his head again. He found that Hai Yue, who was wearing a simple casual dress, was looking at him with a faint smile. She had a special aura about her. It was very natural.
It was as if no matter where she was, no matter what kind of occasion she was in, or no matter how she dressed, she would always appear to be a slender and elegant lady from a noble family.
In Lu Benwei's heart, Hai Yue's appearance was definitely in the top three!
"Miss Hai Yue?" Lu Benwei asked in surprise, "What are you doing at Zhejiang Hunter University?"
"This is also my school. Isn't it normal for me to be here?" Hai Yue chuckled.
Before Lu Benwei could respond.
"I'm not looking for you for anything else, but are you interested in joining the Heavenly Dragon Association?"
Chapter 85
Lu Benwei was stunned.
Firstly, he did not expect Hai Yue to be related to the Heavenly Dragon Association in addition to being his senior. Secondly, Hai Yue was surprisingly direct.
After pondering for a while, Lu Benwei refused. "Senior Hai Yue, why do you want me to join the Heavenly Dragon Association?"
Lu Benwei knew that he could only rely on himself to improve his strength, and no one could help him. He had to walk his own path. Joining any force would only restrict Lu Benwei and bring him no benefits.
Hai Yue covered her face and chuckled. "Lu Benwei, are you really stupid or are you just asking the obvious?
"You're a famous person among the new students of Zhejiang Hunter University. Your strength is extraordinary. Who wouldn't want a talent like you?" Hai Yue continued after a short pause.
The Vice President of the Heavenly Dragon Association, Liu Qingfeng, had offended the new Hunter Special Combat Class in order to recruit Lu Benwei. The members of the Heavenly Dragon Association expressed their confusion, and some even demanded to impeach Liu Qingfeng.
When Lu Benwei became famous in Northwind Mountain, it proved that Liu Qingfeng's decision was right.
Thus, the task of recruiting Lu Benwei was given to Hai Yue, who had returned from Northwind Mountain with Lu Benwei.
"Lu Benwei, I'm sincerely inviting you to join the Heavenly Dragon Association," Hai Yue said seriously, "As long as you join the Heavenly Dragon Association, we'll make an exception and give you the highest level of authority and resources."
The topic changed. Hai Yue suddenly moved her face closer to Lu Benwei and smiled playfully.
"I heard from Qingfeng that you will join the Heavenly Dragon Association the moment you return from Northwind Mountain. Don't make things difficult for me."
The hot and wet breath hit Lu Benwei's face, and the itchy feeling made him shiver.
Lu Benwei was stunned. He took two steps back and thought, 'This woman, why did she change so much after coming back from Northwind Mountain?' 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Seeing Lu Benwei's embarrassed expression, Hai Yue covered her face and laughed.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. I know you don't want to join any associations," she said, waving her hands.
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"I'm looking for you to thank you," Hai Yue said softly.
"Thank me?" Lu Benwei asked.
"Thank you for saving my life in Northwind Mountain. Without you, everyone would've been buried there."
After Hai Yue finished speaking, she leaned forward slightly and pecked Lu Benwei on the cheek with her cherry-like mouth. At the same time, she did not forget to blow into Lu Benwei's ear.
"This is a thank you gift."
Then, she left Lu Benwei with a back view as light as a deer. He was still reminiscing. Feeling the fragrance on Hai Yue's body gradually dissipate, Lu Benwei muttered, "You're repaying me for saving your life just like that? Isn't this too unworthy?"
As expected, you can't judge a woman's thoughts from an ordinary person's thoughts.
After a while, Lu Benwei's sleepiness disappeared. He shrugged and muttered, "I don't want to go back to sleep. I might as well find a place to improve my bloodline power."
Lu Benwei thought for a while and decided to ask Chu Yan. He took out his phone and found that Chu Yan had sent a message to him half an hour ago.
"Annoying fellow, where are you? I'm so bored, I'm going to find you."
Lu Benwei did not stand during the ceremony and replied, "Where are you? I have something to talk to you about."
The next second, he received a message from Chu Yan. "What for?"
Lu Benwei felt a little strange, and replied, "Didn't you say you were coming to find me?"
"Look for you? Why should I look for you? Why are you so confident when you're so ordinary?"
"What's this?" Lu Benwei's face was full of question marks as he quickly typed a reply. "What did I do?"
Soon, he received another message from Chu Yan. "Get lost!"
He was dumbfounded! Three different expressions appeared on Lu Benwei's face.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he typed a reply, "Chu Yan, what's wrong with you?"
[Sorry, your message has been rejected by the other party. Please add the other party as a friend.]
Looking at the message, Lu Benwei felt like his life had been destroyed. Just a second ago, everything was fine. In the next second, she suddenly became angry, which made people confused.
Women were hard to understand.
Lu Benwei sighed in his heart. At this time, someone sent a friend request to him. When he looked at the person's information, it turned out to be Hai Yue.
Lu Benwei's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed. "Senior Hai Yue, do you know of any methods to increase the power of your bloodline?"
…
On the other side, Chu Yan pushed open the door of the dormitory.
Her dormitory was a double dormitory with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It was fully equipped.
"Pa!"
Chu Yan angrily slammed the dormitory door and sat down on the couch with her arms around her chest.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go to find Lu Benwei?" Zhao Xiaoqi sat down next to Chu Yan and asked with concern.
"Don't mention Lu Benwei. He's a scumbag!" Chu Yan said angrily.
Zhao Xiaoqi's interest was piqued.
"Scumbag? What's going on?"
Zhao Xiaoqi waited for a long time before she heard Chu Yan's story.
It turned out that when Chu Yan went to look for Lu Benwei, she happened to see Hai Yue talking to Lu Benwei.
Coincidently, the scene of Hai Yue secretly kissing Lu Benwei was seen by Chu Yan.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoqi was dumbfounded and said, "How melodramatic. Are you guys acting in a TV drama?"
Chu Yan rolled her eyes at her and then said angrily, "That's fine. There's nothing between us anyway. But then Lu Benwei saw the message I sent him and shamelessly asked where I was!"
"Is this the reason you're angry?" Zhao Xiaoqi was a little confused.
"That's right. He was having an ambiguous relationship with Hai Yue earlier. Then, what am I?" The more Chu Yan thought about it, the angrier she got.
Zhao Xiaoqi also sighed. "Damn it. Lu Benwei isn't only a pervert but also a player."
Chu Yan nodded. "I'll never talk to Lu Benwei again. If I talk to him again, I'm a dog!
The two girls scolded Lu Benwei from behind.
At this time, Lu Benwei was still thinking about how to improve his bloodline power.
"Ding!"
Lu Benwei received another message on his phone. He immediately opened it and saw that it was Hai Yue's reply.
"You want to improve your bloodline power? Then I recommend you to go to our school's bloodline secret realm."
Lu Benwei's eyes lit up with joy.
"Where's the bloodline secret realm?"
Very quickly, Hai Yue's message came again.
"I don't know. It's said that only students with SSS-rank resources can enjoy it."
Chapter 86
"SSS-rank resources?!" Lu Benwei exclaimed.
Chu Yan only got the SSS-rank resources because she was the top freshman.
"What kind of treasure is this bloodline secret realm?"
At this time, Hai Yue sent another message. "You can look for the principal. You've made such a great contribution in Northwind Mountain. If you explain the situation to the principal, he'll probably make an exception and give you a chance to enter."
Lu Benwei nodded and replied, "Thank you, Senior!" At the same time, he also replied to Hai Yue with a fist salute emoji.
Then, Lu Benwei put away his phone and went straight to the principal's office.
… 𝑙𝑖𝘣𝓇𝑒𝒶𝘥.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Lu Benwei is here?"
When Lu Benwei found Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan was drinking tea in his office.
"My office is a mess, you can sit anywhere you want," Chen Yuan said without a care.
Lu Benwei sat down on a chair with a few books.
Lu Benwei, I just heard from Liu Yi that you've learned the skill Blood Fusion in the Musashi tower?" Chen Yuan asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes, that's why I'm looking for you." Lu Benwei nodded.
"You want to go to the bloodline secret realm?" Chen Yuan directly stated Lu Benwei's purpose.
Lu Benwei heard this and laughed dryly. "Yes, Mr. Principal."
Chen Yuan frowned, took a sip of tea, and said, "No!"
"Why?" Lu Benwei was slightly surprised. He had thought that the principal would agree to his request without any hesitation, but the truth was the complete opposite.
Chen Yuan's expression was solemn, and his eyes were unfathomable. "It's simple. You're not suitable."
Hearing this, Lu Benwei was a little confused and asked with a serious expression, "Not suitable? Can you tell me more details?"
Chen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the pair of eyes that were staring at him.
"Alright, it's not that it's inappropriate. The bloodline secret realm can allow people to obtain bloodline talents and increase their four-dimensional attributes. In other words, it's your Blood Fusion skill," Chen Yuan said after a pause.
"Of course, each person can only integrate one bloodline talent. Can you guess why?"
"Why?" Lu Benwei directly asked.
"It's a backlash!" Chen Yuan suddenly said in a deep voice, "You've fused with a monster's bloodline. Every time you fuse with a skill, the berserk power of the monster's bloodline will erode your heart. Of course, you have Blood Fusion, so you won't suffer any backlash. You can fuse two, three, or even more bloodlines."
After a pause, Chen Yuan said seriously, "However, everything has its limit. The ancestor of Blood Fusion fused about seven or eight bloodlines before he suffered the backlash of the monster's bloodline."
Chen Yuan sighed and said worriedly, "Lu Benwei, I'm worried about you! You're a magician. No one knows how many vicious monster's bloodlines your body can accept."
Lu Benwei was very confident, and his eyes were shining with determination.
"Principal, I know what I'm doing. I want to improve my strength as soon as possible, so I have to enter the bloodline secret realm."
Looking at Lu Benwei's determined eyes, Chen Yuan could not help but sigh.
"Alright, I can't change your mind!"
Then, a metal wolf head token appeared in Chen Yuan's hand. "This is the token to enter the bloodline secret realm. Take it. Take it as my reward for your contribution to Northwind Mountain."
Lu Benwei put the token into his bag and said to Chen Yuan, "Thank you, Mr. Principal!"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. He had not taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.
"Oh right, Mr. Principal, where's the bloodline secret realm?" Lu Benwei scratched his head and said in embarrassment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to Chen Yuan's office was opened. Liu Yi barged in, knocking into a lot of debris, and directly came to Chen Yuan.
"What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Yuan furrowed his brows and complained, "It wasn't easy for me to tidy it up."
Liu Yi was very anxious. He panted and said, "Principal, you mustn't let Lu Benwei absorb the bloodline."
After Chen Yuan heard this, he laughed and asked, "Oh? Did you find something?"
After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Yi said, "No, I just found a huge weakness of Blood Fusion. The more bloodlines he fuses with, the higher the chances of him suffering a backlash! Lu Benwei is eager to improve his strength, so he'll definitely come to you for the bloodline secret realm pass. You can't give it to him."
After that, Chen Yuan sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, you're late."
"I'm late?" Liu Yi asked. His pupils suddenly shrank. "You gave it to him? You really gave it to him?"
Before Chen Yuan could respond, Lu Benwei spoke, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Principal has already given me the pass."
Liu Yi was shocked and turned around.
Lu Benwei looked at him awkwardly as he quickly put the bloodline secret realm's token into his storage ring.
Liu Yi was anxious and directly jumped in front of Lu Benwei.
"You brat, give me the pass. I know you've done a great job in fending off the demonic monsters. You can have whatever reward you want, but you can't have the bloodline secret realm pass.
Lu Benwei stepped back and said, "Mr. Liu, please calm down."
At this time, Chen Yuan also walked over. "Mr. Liu, I'm giving him this pass on behalf of the school. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take it back."
After Liu Yi finished speaking, he was furious. "Mr. Principal, this is all your fault."
Chen Yuan did not seem to care.
"If you had come earlier, I might not have given the bloodline secret realm pass to Lu Benwei," Chen Yuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Yi's blood pressure almost burst from anger.
Chen Yuan then instructed Liu Yi, "But you've come at the right time. Lu Benwei doesn't know where the bloodline secret realm is. Take him there."
Liu Yi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He replied, "Why don't you go? Don't drag me into this if you want to harm Lu Benwei!"
Chen Yuan shrugged helplessly. "I'm the principal. I have a lot of things to do."
At this time, Lu Benwei came over and persuaded, "Mr. Liu, bring me along. You can also monitor me. If I suffer a backlash, you can also save me."
When Liu Yi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. After exhaling heavily, he said in a low voice, "Forget it, just follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked forward. He knew that since the pass was in Lu Benwei's hands, there was no reason to ask for it back.
Lu Benwei smiled and immediately followed elder Liu.
Chen Yuan looked at the back of Lu Benwei and Liu Yi. His eyes became deep and he let out a breath of air. "Mr. Liu, it's not like you don't know that this child has unlimited possibilities."
On the other side, in the female dormitory.
Chu Yan and Zhao Xiaoqi were scolding Lu Benwei. Suddenly, Chu Yan's phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, Chu Yan was stunned. She then said to Zhao Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, I'll go out and make a call."
"Who's that?" Zhao Xiaoqi was confused. "She's so sneaky when taking calls."
Chapter 87
Chu Yan put away her usual playful image and picked up the phone indifferently.
"Hey, didn't we agree not to call me during the day?" Chu Yan complained.
A low laugh came from the other end of the phone. The voice had been specially processed so that no one could tell the gender.
"How's Lu Benwei's? I heard that he contributed a lot to the suppression of the demonic monsters in Northwind Mountain," the man did not respond to Chu Yan and said directly.
"That's right." Chu Yan did not hide anything.
"Oh? Is that so?" The tone of the person on the other end of the phone became normal, and he said, "Then how is he compared to you now?"
"I don't know. He's improving very quickly. I still don't know what he's relying on to improve his strength," Chu Yan replied decisively.
"If I had to fight him, I might not be his match," Chu Yan said softly after a pause.
…
The mysterious man was stunned for a long time before he said, "He's actually grown to the point where even you're no match for him."
The mysterious man's tone suddenly became serious. "Chu Yan, you must keep an eye on Lu Benwei."
Without waiting for Chu Yan to respond, the mysterious man hung up the phone.
After that, Chu Yan lowered her head and leaned against the wall. No one knew what she was thinking.
…
On the other side, at the northeast corner of Zhejiang Hunter University.
This was an extremely dense and deep forest. Trees were overgrown, and the grass was abundant.
Liu Yi and Lu Benwei, one in front and one behind, were walking on the path in the forest.
As he walked, Lu Benwei found a huge skeleton corpse in front of him. It was a few hundred feet long and a few feet wide. Moss and weeds had already covered its huge body, showing traces of time.
"This is the bloodline secret realm?" Lu Benwei asked in shock.
"That's right," Liu Yi nodded and said, "This is one of the things that our Zhejiang Hunter University is most proud of. You can even say that our school was established because of him."
"One of your proudest secrets?" Lu Benwei asked, "A top hunter university could be established because of him?"
Liu Yi's eyes were solemn as he stroked his beard and answered Lu Benwei's question, "This monster's corpse has been here for countless years. If we're really looking into it, it's probably at the beginning of the hunter era when the people of Jiujiang City discovered him by chance. At that time, the monster was already a skeleton. No one paid attention to it at first. However, when someone discovered that there was a secret realm within the skeleton, they realized that the skeleton had a great origin. And this secret realm is also the bloodline secret realm that you want to enter."
At this point, Lu Benwei and Liu Yi had already arrived at the head of the monster skeleton.
The head of bones had already been modified. Its huge mouth was opened, and a registration counter was built. It was responsible for the information of the students who came here for training and was also the guard of the bloodline secret realm.
The person in charge was an old man, about the same age as Liu Yi. However, there were thick calluses on his hands, and his exposed skin was full of scars.
Lu Benwei's intuition told him that when this old man was young, he was also a pillar that defended against fierce monsters.
Seeing that Liu Yi was leading a young man who had the school emblem of a freshman, he smiled and said, "Yo, Mr. Liu, you've brought your students to see the world?"
Liu Yi rolled his eyes at him and said, "I brought him into the bloodline secret realm."
"What?" The person in charge was stunned and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"I didn't hear that there's a student with SSS-rank resources in the new batch. Mr. Liu, you're joking, right?" 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Liu Yi's mouth twitched, and he looked at Lu Benwei. "Give him the pass that the principal gave you."
Lu Benwei nodded and took out the metal wolf head token from his storage ring.
The person in charge hurriedly took it, and his eyes widened like copper bells. "The principal gave it to you personally. Are you from the Hunter Special Combat Class?"
Then, the person in charge looked at Lu Bingwei with surprise and almost drooled.
"Ah, it's the first time that a freshman has received an SSS-rank resource in less than a month."
Lu Benwei had goosebumps all over his body and stepped back. "Teacher, I'm Lu Benwei from the normal class."
"Lu Benwei?" The person in charge almost jumped out of his chair.
"It's really you. I didn't expect you to be a student of the ordinary class. This is beyond my imagination."
The person in charge's eyes were green with envy as he drooled all over the ground.
"Lu Benwei, are you interested in becoming my disciple?"
"Hey, old Zhang, what are you saying? Everyone in the school knows that Lu Benwei is my student," Liu Yi said proudly, "The way I see it, you've been here for too long!"
"Your student? Are you kidding me?" Old Zhang could not believe it and said, "A freshman who single-handedly repelled monsters and held back a high-level Monster King is a student of your support class?"
Liu Yi smiled noncommittally. "What's the matter? Can't a magician be my student?"
Old Zhang's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of shock. "Holy master of the magician? How is this possible? I've seen the video. With such destructive power and physical strength, how can he be a magician?"
Then, he rubbed his eyes and carefully felt Lu Benwei's aura. However, reality told him that Lu Benwei was a magician. Old Zhang's mouth was wide open, and he sat on the chair in a daze.
Liu Yi waved his hand impatiently and said to Old Zhang, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Lu Benwei wants to enter the bloodline secret realm. Let him in."
Old Zhang recovered from his shock and said angrily, "Alright, I know. Lu Benwei, come with me."
Lu Benwei nodded and followed Old Zhang.
Before he was done, Liu Yi waved at him and instructed, "Lu Benwei, you must act according to your ability!"
"I know!"
…
Old Zhang and Lu Benwei walked deeper and deeper. When they reached the heart of the monster, a dimensional passage with a faint light appeared in front of Lu Benwei.
"You know the mechanism of the bloodline secret realm, right?" Old Zhang asked.
Lu Benwei scratched his head and said, "Actually, I just found out about the existence of the bloodline secret realm in our school today."
Old Zhang's mouth twitched when he heard that. "Forget it. We're both magicians. What's so strange about that?"
After he came back to his senses, he sighed and said, "The bloodline secret realm will automatically generate monsters according to the challenger's level. After defeating the monsters, the bloodline will be determined by the overall score."
"I see." Lu Benwei nodded.
"It's not over yet! I know you're very powerful," Old Zhang continued, "But since you're a magician, I suggest you choose the easy level."
"Can I choose the difficulty level?"
"Right!" Old Zhang counted with his fingers. "There are a few difficulties, I forgot. Anyway, I suggest you don't be greedy and take risks. It's better to be safe."
Lu Benwei nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I'll remember this."
Then, Lu Benwei entered the dimensional channel of the bloodline secret realm. After a burst of dazzling brilliance, he fell from the sky.
"This is terrible!" Lu Benwei was shocked and activated One-Click Speed Support. However, his falling speed was extremely fast, and he fell to the ground before he could float.
He did not expect the ground to be so soft. Lu Benwei only grunted two or three times. He got up and found that the light in the secret realm was surprisingly dim.
At this time, a roar mixed with anger came from under his feet.
"Who is it? You hit me and even stepped on me twice!"
Chapter 88
Lu Benwei was disappointed and hurriedly got up from the man, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
Who knew that after that person got up, he did not get angry? He patted the dust off his body and said, "It doesn't matter. The entrance to the secret realm is in the sky, so it's common for people to be hit."
The man raised his head and was stunned when he saw Lu Benwei's face.
"What's your year? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The bloodline secret realm of Zhejiang Hunter University was only accessible to students with SSS-rank resources. To get SSS-rank resources, other than the talented geniuses, only the senior students who had made great contributions to Zhejiang Hunter University would be able to do so. Therefore, people who came to the bloodline's secret realm were familiar with each other.
At this moment, Lu Benwei heard the rustling sounds around him and many students came over.
"I haven't seen a newcomer in a long time. What year is he?"
Many people carefully looked at Lu Benwei. Finally, when someone saw the first-year school badge on Lu Benwei's chest, they were stunned.
"You're a freshman?"
The news was like a bomb, exploding in the crowd.
"First year?"
"This freshman has just started school. How did he get an SSS-rank resource?"
"This is impossible!"
Everyone discussed and thought that Lu Benwei's appearance had broken the trial.
"What's so hard to guess? He must've gotten in through the back door."
A mocking voice suddenly rang out, causing the group of senior students to smile noncommittally.
"That's true. Other than going through the back door, none of the students of Zhejiang Hunter University have ever received an SSS-rank resource at the beginning of the semester!"
Someone stepped forward and asked Lu Benwei in disdain, "First-year, you're so confident that you'll enter the bloodline secret realm?"
"Aren't you afraid of being torn apart and eaten by the monsters in the bloodline secret realm?"
Waving his hand, the man pretended to be kind. "I advise you to go home. We can't be implicated if we meet with any mishaps in the mystery realm!"
Lu Benwei's eyes were calm, but he sneered in his heart.
He had just activated the Eye of Insight to check this person's information. Although he was a genius with three talents, he was still 10 levels higher than Lu Benwei. However, in terms of attributes, he was inferior to him.
Lu Benwei was too lazy to deal with this kind of person.
The three geniuses saw that Lu Benwei did not leave and laughed instead. 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Pa!"
A skill scroll with a blue glow was thrown at Lu Benwei's feet.
The three geniuses continued to sneer. "I know that you entered the bloodline secret realm to increase your strength. This rare skill scroll is yours. Hurry up and go back!"
When the crowd heard this, they burst into laughter.
Lu Benwei's eyes were still as calm as an ancient well, and a playful smile hung on his mouth. Why would a ferocious tiger waste its breath on insects?
Lu Benwei indifferently glanced at the group of clowns and prepared to enter the bloodline secret realm. At this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of something and he was immediately startled.
It was a stone tablet with the names of some students on it. After the names, the bloodline level of the students was also displayed.
The top of the list was the favorite with the Ancient Sword of Clarity. He was Zhou Qingfeng, a triple-talented genius who had achieved level 50 at such a young age. The highest quality bloodline he had obtained was a platinum-grade bloodline! In fact, he used the shortest amount of time, only five minutes, to pass through the secret realm where one could obtain a platinum bloodline!
"If I can meet him in the future, I wonder what kind of sparks will be created," Lu Benwei exclaimed and then walked into the depths of the secret realm.
Looking at Lu Benwei's back, the upper grade students laughed.
"Sigh, inform the school hospital to come over and carry his body!"
…
At the registration area outside the secret realm, a huge holographic projection showed the scene inside the secret realm in the center of the room.
"Old Liu, which difficulty level do you think Lu Benwei will choose?" Old Zhang asked indifferently.
Liu Yi's expression was calm as he said, "I guess he'll at least choose the difficult level."
The difficulty of the bloodline secret realm was divided into many types, and each type corresponded to a level of bloodline power.
If Lu Benwei can successfully pass the difficult level, he would receive a gold level bloodline at the end. However, this was a story for the future.
"Have some confidence in our children. I'm guessing Lu Benwei will choose the nightmare difficulty."
The door opened with a creak. Chen Yuan walked in. The two old men greeted each other, and then Old Zhang said, "Can Lu Benwei go to a nightmare secret realm?"
"I know Lu Benwei is very strong, but I'm not optimistic about the nightmare secret realm."
"Of course, you can!" Liu Yi had high hopes for Lu Benwei.
"Yes," Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Even if Lu Benwei really can't pass it, he'll still choose the nightmare difficulty level."
Seeing this, the corner of Old Zhang's mouth twitched, and he said faintly, "Why is Lu Benwei acting like your illegitimate child?"
At this moment, in the secret realm, Lu Benwei had arrived at the end of the secret realm. In front of him were several stone doors, each corresponding to a trial of different difficulty.
The three people at the registration counter craned their necks and stared at Lu Bingwei through the holographic projection.
"The trial of nightmare is coming. What kind of monsters do you think they will encounter?" Liu Yi asked excitedly.
"It's hard to say. The monsters inside are all random." The remaining two shook their heads.
In the next second, the eyes of the three people shrank at the same time. They were filled with confusion, and the corners of their mouths twitched crazily.
"Is this the Lu Benwei you have high hopes for? Why did he choose the easy level?" Old Zhang asked with a complicated expression. Liu Yi and Chen Yuan's faces turned ugly.
Lu Benwei had chosen the easy level.
The two of them rubbed their eyes and said in unison. "I'm not seeing things, right?"
"You two can make a mistake, but I can't. Lu Benwei chose the easy level," Old Zhang replied.
When Chen Yuan and Liu Yi heard this, their lips twitched.
"Why did Lu Benwei suddenly mess up? But even if it's a mess, he shouldn't have chosen the easy level, right?"
"At the very least, he should start from the hard level, right?"
At this moment, Old Zhang patted their shoulders. "You two are the closest to Lu Benwei. Don't you know that people like him often have unpredictable actions?"
Chen Yuan heard this and sighed. "That's true, let's take one step at a time."
…
In the bloodline secret realm.
Lu Benwei slowly opened his eyes and the secret realm appeared in front of him.
This was a vast forest, with a flowing stream and white clouds slowly floating in.
"What a beautiful scenic spot!"
Lu Benwei took a deep breath of refreshing air and his eyes suddenly turned cold!
"Then, let me begin my killing spree!"
Chapter 89
The Eye of Insight was activated! The information within a hundred-mile radius entered Lu Benwei's mind.
"There's a small group of monsters to the northeast, and they're the closest to me. There will be a large group of monsters to the east."
Lu Benwei quickly sorted out the information and decided on the best route.
The next second, he stomped on the ground heavily, and the ground instantly cracked. As for himself, he was charging toward the group of monsters at the speed of a cannonball.
Lightning Speed was activated! Lu Benwei's speed was extremely fast.
The moment the leader of the monster felt danger approaching, Lu Benwei's powerful fist pierced through his chest.
"Pfft!"
Boiling blood spurted out, splattering everywhere.
At this moment, only then did the other members of this monster tribe sense the approaching danger. Seeing that their leader had been killed by Lu Benwei, they were shocked and their hair stood on end as they let out a strange cry!
"Human, you're looking for death!"
As soon as one of the monsters finished speaking, Lu Benwei punched left and right, and two more monsters were killed.
Fresh blood dyed the ground bright red. Fear appeared on the monsters' faces. The remaining members of the monster tribe were all terrified, and their legs could not stop trembling.
Lu Benwei's eyes were indifferent, and his heart did not feel pity. His fist was like a sharp blade, and a monster was immediately killed as the blade fell.
After a long time, the ground was soaked in blood, and the sky in the secret realm was dyed red. The stream that surrounded the forest was no longer flowing with water. Instead, it was flowing with scarlet blood, and the stench was like purgatory.
Lu Benwei was like a god of death, slaughtering everyone in the secret realm. This shocking scene made Chen Yuan and the other two at the registration area gasp.
"Are we really training students or are we training perverted murderers?" Old Zhang said in disbelief.
At the side, Liu Yi kept rubbing his temples. "No, I'm afraid of blood. I have to take a break."
Then, Old Zhang's mouth twitched. "If you have the strength, why don't you just choose the difficult level?"
"I understand." Chen Yuan interrupted.
"What do you know?"
"Lu Benwei is trying to merge the bloodline power step by step!" Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.
When Liu Yi heard this, he had a look of sudden realization. "Right! This is the best way to offset the berserk power in the bloodline."
Old Zhang was confused and baffled as he watched the two of them talk back and forth. "What are you guys talking about? I thought bloodline power can only be obtained once. Although it can be cleansed, what does that have to do with negating the berserk power?"
After a pause, Old Zhang suddenly realized something and asked with his mouth wide open. "You let Lu Benwei enter the tower of Musashi and learn Blood Fusion?"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Old Zhang angrily said, "What are you guys doing? Aren't you afraid that this child will suffer from the backlash and explode to death? Step by step? If it were to gradually offset the violent power of the bloodline, Blood Fusion would have become a godly skill!"
As soon as he said that, a sorrowful howl came from the holographic projection. The secret realm had reached its final moment. The big boss had awakened.
The three of them turned their attention to the holographic projection.
A huge bull-headed monster with a club made of human heads rushed toward Lu Benwei. The bull-headed monster was nearly three meters long and had a burly body. On its bulging muscles, blood vessels as thick as human fingers burst open.
"Die, human!"
The bull-headed monster roared in anger and waved the human-headed club in its hand rapidly. It brought with it boundless astral wind; its momentum was heavy.
If an ordinary person was hit, he would be smashed into a pool of blood. However, his opponent was Lu Benwei!
Even without the Viper Set, Lu Benwei's strength couldn't be underestimated.
"Boom!"
Lu Benwei quickly waved his fist. Although meat and iron collided, Lu Benwei had the upper hand.
The human-headed club was bent by him. Seeing this, the bull-headed monster's body trembled and it quickly retreated!
Lu Benwei's eyes flashed, and his fists were covered in a layer of light. The Myriad Light Fist that was emitting a holy light was as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Every punch that landed on the bull-headed monster's body left a small hole. The stars dissipated, and the monster fell to the ground, dead!
[Ding! Congratulations on passing the easy level bloodline secret realm. Please choose the bloodline you need.]
This was not the mechanical voice of the system.
Just after the monster fell to the ground, Lu Benwei heard it. Then, a projection appeared in front of him.
[Please choose the following bloodline.]
[1. Herculean bullhead (bronze), 2. Two-faced ape (bronze-level), 3. Dry poison vine (bronze-level)]
Without exception, these bronze bloodlines were all monsters that Lu Benwei had killed. There were so many kinds of them that he was dazzled.
After thinking for a while, Lu Benwei whispered to the air, "I choose to absorb the blood of the two-faced ape!"
Just as he finished speaking, the secret realm shattered like a mirror, and all the living beings gathered together, finally forming a grape-sized bead. When the secret realm was completely shattered, the grape-sized bead flew into Lu Benwei's mouth.
"Boom!"
The moment he swallowed it, Lu Benwei's heart trembled, and the pain made him sweat. Beads of sweat poured down.
Lu Benwei's hair was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and if one looked closely, it had turned brown. Even his own face had turned into that of a monkey.
Lu Benwei was shocked.
"I won't become a monkey, will I?"
However, the next second, Lu Benwei's face quickly returned to normal, and the heart-wrenching pain stopped.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully integrating with the bronze-grade two-faced ape and obtaining the bloodline talent skill.]
[Talent skill: Repeat]
[When you release a skill, there's a 1 percent chance of triggering the same skill. The skill will be released a second time without any consumption, and the damage will be reduced by 50 percent.] 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂
At the same time, Lu Benwei felt the cells in his body madly sucking the blood of the two-faced ape. He calmed down and found that his four attributes were rising crazily.
Strength, agility, vitality, and spirit, all four of his strengths had increased by about 30 points. The effect was remarkable.
At this moment, the voice that did not belong to the system sounded again.
[Congratulations on successfully absorbing the bloodline power of the two-faced ape. Please leave after 30 seconds and return to your original spot.]
Lu Benwei packed up and returned to his original spot.
After walking out of the stone door, the group of people was stunned.
"This kid actually came out unscathed?"
"He seems to have succeeded?"
Chapter 90
Seeing Lu Benwei walk out as if nothing had happened, the senior students outside rubbed their eyes.
"Damn, he's really fine!"
"This freshman actually passed!"
"This new student is not simple!"
Some people found it unbelievable and exclaimed a few times. Some people were very disdainful.
"Tsk, didn't he just clear the simplest secret realm? What's there to brag about?"
"As long as I have more time, I'll be able to pass the medium difficulty secret realm and obtain a silver-rank bloodline talent."
"Yeah, even dogs don't go to the simple secret realm!"
Some people said stubbornly. At the same time, some people laughed after hearing this.
"F*ck, brother, after all this, you guys haven't even passed the simple secret realm. How dare you laugh at him?"
"Nonsense! I can pass through the simple secret realm in minutes!"
"We're not going because we look down on the bronze bloodline!"
Lu Benwei shrugged helplessly as he watched the crowd argue. He turned around and entered the medium difficulty secret realm.
At this time, the senior students at the starting point were stunned.
"Where did the first-year student go?"
"It seems like he has entered the medium difficulty secret realm." Someone rubbed his eyes.
"He didn't choose his bloodline and wants to try the medium difficulty secret realm?"
Someone heard this and smiled.
"This freshman is too greedy. Why didn't he know how to stop while he was ahead?"
"Forget it, forget it. Aren't there many of us like this too?" Someone waved his hand.
"After the first secret realm, I always felt that I could get better bloodline power. In the end, I hit a wall at a higher difficulty secret realm, and then I came back and found that I couldn't pass the lower-level secret realms."
Ordinary people could only obtain one bloodline power in the bloodline secret realm.
Driven by human nature, everyone wanted to obtain a better and higher level of bloodline power. After passing a level of the secret realm, he always felt that he could possess a higher level of bloodline power. As a result, he gave up on his current choice, and in the end, he got nothing.
"It's already amazing for a first-year student to pass the simple secret realm. Why do you have to be greedy and lose the small gain?"
Lu Benwei's actions received ridicule from many people. 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎
In their opinion, it was simply wishful thinking for a first-year student to obtain a silver bloodline.
…
Outside the secret realm, the three people in the registration area had strange expressions. Old Zhang, in particular, had a lifeless look on his face.
"Just how terrifying is this kid's physical strength? One punch for a silver-level monster? Mr. Liu, you really make me envious of you. You have such an amazing student!"
As Lu Benwei's direct mentor, Liu Yi grinned to the back of his head when he heard other people's praise.
"No, no, Lu Benwei just got lucky. There's no need to praise him like this."
Just like in the simple secret realm, Lu Benwei killed a small monster with one punch and his methods were extremely cruel!
Suddenly, the three of them heard a shrill howl from the projection.
"It's here! The boss of this secret realm is here!"
After Liu Yi finished speaking, the three of them stretched their necks at the same time and stared at the projection of the secret realm without blinking.
In the sky of the secret realm, a huge seagull was circling above Lu Benwei's head. The seagull was tall and covered in a layer of silver feathers. It was extremely beautiful.
Upon closer inspection, the skin under the feathers of the seagull was blood-red from head to tail.
Lu Benwei activated the Eye of Insight and the seagull's information was immediately shown.
[Bloodline Silver Gull]
[Level: 24]
[Monsters that are known for their speed have many means of attack. They can't be underestimated.]
Lu Benwei was interested. "You're good at speed. Let me see how fast you are!"
After saying that, he released Lightning Speed. His speed had been increased to 15 percent.
With a slight movement, he could shrink the ground into an inch and fly close to the ground. However, Lu Benwei was facing a flying monster.
The Bloodline Silver Gull was extremely fast in the air. It glided and dodged, using the sky as a stage.
"Whoosh!"
The Bloodline Silver Gull's feathers flapped rapidly, and two wind blades were shot out. The speed of the blades was so fast that it was almost impossible for the eyes to catch it.
Lu Benwei saw that he could not dodge it, so he simply defended. The Holy Light Shield was thrown out, directly negating the wind blade.
Seeing this, the Bloodline Silver Gull let out a sharp cry. This strange sound could actually directly attack a person's soul.
The Holy Light Shield could not resist this attack! Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment, then he covered his ears. This was the first time he had seen a sound wave attack since he became a hunter.
The next second, he quickly came back to his senses. Since the Holy Light Shield could not block it, he would just activate the Heavenly Light Shield on his body.
The white holy light appeared on Lu Benwei's body. With a higher level of proficiency, all damage was reduced by 80 percent!
The sonic wave skill of the Bloodline Silver Gull was nothing to him!
"Die!" Lu Benwei shouted.
The Bloodline Silver Gull fled in panic.
Lu Benwei released Lightning Speed again, and his speed was increased to 20 percent!
Myriad Light Fist was activated! Countless fists shining with pure white light rained down on the Bloodline Silver Gull.
Myriad Light Fist was released again! The two fist radiances were like a dense fishing net.
The Bloodline Silver Gull could not find any blind spots to escape. A fist landed on its body, and its strength immediately dropped by half.
Not long after, the Bloodline Silver Gull's soul was drowned by the rain of fists.
[Ding! Congratulations on passing the silver bloodline secret realm. Please choose the bloodline you need.]
The sound of the secret realm came again.
Then, the projection of the bloodline appeared in front of Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei directly said, "I choose the bloodline power of the Bloodline Silver Gull!"
He had his own reasons for choosing the Bloodline Silver Gull. He still had too few speed-enhancing skills. He only had Lightning Speed.
Lightning Speed could increase one's speed to a terrifying number through multiple buffs. However, this was obviously not enough. Lu Benwei needed more speed-enhancing skills or talents.
Just like the simple secret realms, this medium difficulty secret realm quickly shattered, and the living beings gathered into a grape-sized bead.
The only difference was the color. Without hesitation, Lu Benwei swallowed it. After that strange feeling, he obtained the innate skill of Silver Speed.
[Silver Speed]
[Create a wind field under your feet, and increase your speed by 30 percent!]
30 percent increase in speed?! Lu Benwei looked at the effect of Silver Speed and was immediately overjoyed!
Chapter 91
At the same time, after absorbing the bloodline power of the Bloodline Silver Gull, Lu Benwei's attributes rose again. He took a deep breath and felt his four attributes.
"With my level 25, my four-dimensional attributes have already surpassed that of a level 40 ordinary hunter! And that's without the Viper Set and Ancient Sword of Clarity."
Lu Benwei could not help but admire the huge changes the system had brought to him. After pondering for a while, he left the medium difficulty secret realm!
At this moment, the senior students had already surrounded the entrance of the stone gate. When Lu Benwei came out intact, their mouths twitched and their pupils shrank. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"He actually succeeded in passing the trial again?"
"It's only been four minutes. Are you kidding me?"
"What's the background of this freshman?"
"What terrifying strength. I've really underestimated this freshman. No wonder he could get an SSS-level attribute resource bonus at the beginning of the school term."
Lu Benwei turned a deaf ear to these praises and turned around to enter the difficult level. All the senior students present gasped when they saw this.
"No way? He didn't choose the bloodline power?"
Everyone's mouth twitched.
"Should we say that this kid is insatiable or that we've underestimated him?"
"Is he not tired?"
This group of senior students began to doubt their own lives.
A first-year student had passed two different levels of difficulty in the secret realm. Even though it was the lowest level bloodline secret realm, it still made many of them suffer.
In fact, some people might not even have the chance to survive. However, the damage sustained in the secret realm would not be reflected in reality. Many people would usually choose to try again after failing to pass the level. This was also the reason why many of them were reluctant to leave.
However, a new student had spent four minutes completing the mystery realm level that they had spent months to pass. Many people felt that their lives had been destroyed.
At this moment, in the difficult level of the secret realm, Lu Benwei had come to the final boss battle!
He threw out several Myriad Light Fists in succession, and the sky was filled with a rain of fists that fell like the starry sky, sealing the monster in a corner of the world.
Silver Speed was activated!
A wind field appeared under Lu Benwei's feet and he jumped. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of the monster. The simple and unadorned fist was powerful and heavy.
"Boom!"
Lu Benwei smashed its head with one punch. White brain matter and red blood mixed and splattered everywhere.
After taking a deep breath, Lu Benwei chose a gold bloodline called Mad Tiger. This was an extremely difficult monster to deal with.
Lu Benwei had to pay more to deal with him than the boss.
There was no other reason. The bloodline talent of the Mad Tiger, Mad Sky, had a heaven-defying amplification.
[Mad Sky (passive)]
[The battle has begun. Your body has received a surge of energy. All your attributes have been increased by five percent. Every minute, the effect of the increase will be increased by one percent. The maximum effect is 50 percent.]
This was a skill that increased all attributes. The highest was a 50 percent increase in all attributes, which was insane!
After cleaning himself up, Lu Benwei returned to his original spot. Everyone was dumbfounded. He had succeeded again.
Someone's mouth twitched. "This time, he can't possibly enter a platinum-rank bloodline secret realm, right?"
"Brother, don't tell me that you don't even have your eyes on the gold-rank bloodline power?" someone asked timidly.
The fact that Lu Benwei was able to pass the difficult level of the secret realm proved his strength. He had surpassed 95 percent of the geniuses who had obtained SSS-grade resources.
Lu Benwei's eyes were calm as he turned around and entered the stone door under everyone's gaze.
Everyone was stunned!
Shocking!
Aghast!
It was unbelievable!
The nightmare difficulty was above the hard difficulty, and if one passed it, one would receive a platinum-grade bloodline power. This platinum-grade bloodline power was something that only three people in this entire batch of students could possess!
The most representative of them all was Zhou Qingfeng! It took him less than five minutes to complete the nightmare difficulty and obtain the power of the platinum bloodline!
As time passed by, everyone's eyes widened, and they stretched their necks to look at the stone door.
"How long do you guys think it'll take for a freshman?"
"The nightmare secret realm isn't that easy to pass."
"I think this time, it's over!"
However, as soon as they finished speaking, there was movement behind the stone door, and then Lu Benwei came out.
Everyone's mouth was wide open.
"You succeeded again?"
"It's fake, right?"
Lu Benwei's qi was turbulent, and his veins and blood vessels were flowing with a faint light of energy.
The group of senior students finally confirmed that not only did Lu Benwei succeed, but he had also absorbed the power of the platinum bloodline.
"Junior, congratulations on successfully absorbing the power of the platinum-grade bloodline."
"Can you teach us some tricks to clear the realms so that we seniors can pick up the scriptures?"
At this time, Lu Benwei was still thinking about his newly obtained platinum bloodline talent.
[Power of the Giant Whale]
[Acquired ocean whale's brutal attack, attack power increased by 50 percent.]
"My strength attribute is the highest among the four attributes. The Power of the Giant Whale is the most suitable passive defensive skill for me."
After pondering for a while, Lu Benwei looked up and found a group of people looking at him greedily.
"Seniors, is there something you need?" Lu Benwei said faintly.
This group of people was stunned, and their faces became awkward.
They cursed in their heart, 'This freshman is too ostentatious.'
It was not over. Lu Benwei saw that they were silent and said lightly, "Seniors, if there's nothing else, please make way."
The crowd subconsciously made way for Lu Benwei.
Then, they watched Lu Benwei enter the gate that represented the purgatory difficulty. Everyone was confused.
"I'm not seeing things, right?"
"This kid entered the gate of the purgatory difficulty?"
Some of them were completely stunned on the spot, their eyes blinking hard. "Didn't he obtain the power of the bloodline? Why are you still going to the purgatory gate?"
"Could it be that this kid can absorb the power of many bloodlines?"
Everyone's face was filled with different expressions. They did not understand!
Anxiety!
Doubt!
Who exactly was this freshman?
Someone was breathing heavily. Lu Benwei's appearance made him doubt his life.
"If that's the case, then it's not that he didn't take a fancy to the bronze, silver, and gold bloodlines, but that he absorbed them all?"
"How did this kid do it?"
Chapter 92
All the senior students were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
"Why?"
"How did this kid get so much bloodline power?"
Generally speaking, a human's limit was to withstand only one type of bloodline power. If one's constitution and strength attributes were exceptional, one was able to withstand the power of two bloodlines.
Furthermore, once a bloodline power was chosen, it could not be changed. Unless one paid a huge price to purify and remove the power of one's bloodline.
Therefore, Lu Benwei obtaining four bloodlines was beyond their imagination.
"When did such a freak come to our school?" someone asked timidly.
Everyone shook their heads in response.
While this group of people was talking, Lu Benwei had successfully cleared the level and obtained the diamond bloodline power.
[Spirit Deer]
[Effect: Four-dimensional spirit attribute increases by 50 percent, and damage of spirit-type skills to the host is reduced by 20 percent.]
In the end, Lu Benwei had no choice. After some consideration, one side chose the bloodline power that could enhance one's spirit.
The senior students were shocked and speechless by Lu Benwei's diamond bloodline power.
Someone mustered his courage, took a deep breath, and asked, "Junior, how did you manage to master so many bloodline powers?"
Lu Benwei did not want to hide it and directly said to everyone, "I've learned a skill that allows me to fuse multiple bloodline powers."
When everyone heard this, a strange look flashed across their faces. The man's mouth twitched.
"You can fuse many bloodline powers, but aren't you afraid of the backlash?"
Lu Benwei did not respond, but someone else said, "Junior, can you show us the power of the five bloodlines?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Benwei nodded. The crowd also cleared out a space for him. Then, he took a deep breath and activated his five bloodlines at the same time!
"The bloodline of the Two-faced Ape!"
"Bloodline Silver Gull!"
…
"The bloodline of the Spirit Deer!"
Five bloodline lights bloomed from Lu Benwei's body. Then, his heart beat rapidly, and his skin and muscles burst through his clothes.
Under Lu Benwei's skin, there were five different colors of red, orange, yellow, green, and azure flowing in his bloodline.
The strong bloodline power of the five monsters formed five powerful bloodline phantoms and shrouded Lu Benwei. This strange scene dazzled the eyes of everyone who saw it, and they did not want to leave.
The fact that five different bloodline powers had appeared in one person, and that he was a freshman at that, made many people green with envy.
After a long time, the strange bloodline light faded.
Someone wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said enviously, "Is this what it looks like when five different bloodline powers are fused into one?"
"These are so cool!"
Someone quickly stepped forward and whispered to Lu Benwei, "Junior, can you tell me where you learned this technique that allows you to fuse multiple bloodline powers?"
Although it could suffer a backlash, it could fuse with many bloodline powers and increase its strength greatly. It was naturally coveted by humans. Quite a few people also came over, wanting to get a share of the loot.
Lu Benwei pondered for a while and said, "Oh, this is a skill I got from the tower of martial arts."
Tower of martial arts?! Everyone's mouth was wide open.
Without the principal's approval, even students with SSS-grade resources like them were not qualified to enter the tower of martial arts. Not only had this freshman obtained the principal's approval to enter the tower of martial arts, but he had also obtained a godly skill.
Many people were once again green with envy.
However, at the same time, knowing that this skill was in the tower of martial arts, many people's eyes dimmed.
"By the way, are there any bloodlines of a higher level in this secret realm?" Lu Benwei suddenly asked.
"What?"
Everyone's lips twitched crazily when they heard this.
"You still want to obtain the power of the bloodline?"
"Yes!" Lu Benwei nodded and said, "Seniors, do you mean that there's a higher level of bloodline power in this secret realm?"
Everyone was silent as they looked at the deepest part of the bloodline secret realm. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Lu Benwei followed everyone's gaze and looked into the depths of the secret realm. He saw that there was a strange stone door. Compared to the other stone doors, this one had countless potholes and knife marks.
"This secret realm's checkpoint contains the power of a king's bloodline. However, from the beginning until the end, no one has been able to pass through it," someone said.
The man paused for a moment. "It's because it's more difficult than purgatory," he continued. "And the damage received can be reflected in reality. No one is willing to take the risk."
"Junior, you've obtained five types of bloodline power, and one of them even contains the diamond bloodline power. You're already the number one person in the school. There's no need to take this risk." Someone tried to persuade him.
However, Lu Benwei turned a deaf ear and cupped his fists "Thank you for the information, seniors."
After saying that, he turned around and his shadow flashed, entering the checkpoint where he could obtain the king's bloodline power. Everyone was dumbfounded.
That barrier of a king's bloodline power could kill! No one knew what kind of terrifying monsters were inside.
Anyone would think that a freshman was dreaming if he wanted to obtain the king's bloodline power. Even though he was number one on the bloodline secret realm ranking!
At this time, Lu Benwei had completely entered the king's bloodline secret realm! The secret realm's origin suddenly shook violently, and the entire dark secret realm became bright.
"What's going on?" Everyone had a bad feeling.
"Boom!"
A loud rumbling sound came from above everyone's heads, and they looked up at the same time. The sky reflected a piece of cracked earth.
On the ground, countless monster corpses were strewn all over, and the soil was dyed a blood-like color. However, just looking at it, one would smell a foul stench.
"Is this what's happening in the king's bloodline secret realm?"
"How terrifying!"
The crowd gasped.
At this time, a fluctuation suddenly came from the sky. A few black shadows flashed past and landed.
The senior students looked over and saw that the deans of the various academies and the teacher of the Hunter Special Combat Class, Wang Wei, was among them.
"Good day, dean!"
The academy presidents nodded in acknowledgment.
Following that, a dean with a mountain-like body suddenly said, "Who entered the king's bloodline secret realm?"
"Reporting to the dean. He's a first-year student."
"First year?"
The deans looked at each other.
"It's not Zhou Qingfeng. I heard him say that he's going to undergo a baptism and then try to obtain the king's bloodline power."
"How did the freshmen enter the bloodline secret realm? I've never heard of any freshmen receiving SSS-rank resources."
Chapter 93
The group of deans was extremely puzzled. Which freshman could get an SSS-rank resource? At this time, a deep laugh was heard, attracting the attention of all the deans.
"Fellow students, have you all forgotten that our school has produced a genius? Who else could it be other than Lu Benwei?" Wang Wei said with a smile.
All the deans heaved a sigh of relief.
"So, it's Lu Benwei…"
"Among the new students, he's the only one who's qualified to receive SSS-grade resources."
A student heard this and could not help but ask, "Teacher, what kind of genius is Lu Benwei?"
"There's no one in the entire Zhejiang Hunter University who has the qualification to obtain SSS-rank resources at this time, right?"
Wang Wei laughed and said, "How long have you been here? You don't know Lu Benwei?"
"About two or three days?" a student replied.
"It's no wonder. After all, Lu Benwei's story has spread all over the school today."
Everyone was shocked and asked what Lu Benwei did. After Wang Wei had explained everything in detail, the faces of the senior students were filled with shock.
At this moment, another wave descended from the sky, and three figures landed on the ground. The three of them were Chen Yuan, Liu Yi, and Old Zhang.
"It's so lively today!" Chen Yuan said lazily.
"Good day, Principal!" All the students were shocked. Even the principal was alarmed.
Chen Yuan looked at the students' wide-open mouths and shocked expressions. He waved his hand and said, "You guys don't have to feel strange. I've been here for a long time. It can be said that I brought Lu Benwei here."
After a pause, Chen Yuan said, "Alright, let's cut the crap. Let's focus on our great genius."
Everyone looked up at the projection of the secret realm that filled the sky.
…
Within the king's secret realm.
"As expected of a king's secret realm. Every single one of them here is stronger than the bosses of the secret realm with the diamond bloodline," Lu Benwei exclaimed.
"The number is also double that of the previous checkpoints. The lowest level is also level 25. I'm going to get serious."
The next second, Lu Benwei took a deep breath and activated his five bloodlines at the same time!
"The bloodline of the Two-faced Ape!"
"Bloodline Silver Gull!"
…
"Spirit Deer!"
Five bloodline lights bloomed from Lu Benwei's body.
Then, Lu Benwei's heart beat rapidly, and his skin and muscles burst through his clothes. Under his skin, there were five different colors of red, orange, yellow, green, and azure flowing in his bloodline.
The strong bloodline power of the five monsters formed five powerful bloodline phantoms and shrouded Lu Benwei.
At this time, more than a dozen monsters in front of him saw this and quickly waved their weapons, releasing all kinds of skills at Lu Bingwei.
"Boom!"
All kinds of skills hit, and smoke and dust billowed, covering the sky and sun.
The monsters pointed at Lu Bingwei and laughed.
"Such a puny and weak human wants to take our lives."
"Oh? Is that so?"
A cold and unfeeling laugh drowned out the voices of the monsters.
The monsters' bell-like eyes widened. "He didn't die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rock was thrown out of the dust. Wherever it went, it smashed the monsters into meat paste one after another.
Lu Benwei stepped on the wind created by Silver Speed and attacked from the smoke. He punched out with both fists, and the Power of the Giant Whale exploded!
One by one, the monsters fell in pools of blood.
…
At the secret realm's origin, the senior students' hearts were palpitating with fear as they blinked their eyes.
"What's Lu Benwei's class? His physical strength is even more terrifying than a warrior's."
"Needless to say, it's definitely a hidden class of a warrior!"
"No, I'm guessing he's a knight. A knight's physical strength isn't weak."
…
"You're all wrong. Lu Benwei is a magician."
A faint voice came over, interrupting everyone's speculations. However, this caused the crowd to be enraged.
"Magician?"
"Are you f*cking kidding me?"
"If a magician could have such strong physical strength, I'd wash my hair upside down!"
"Young people, don't be so impulsive. As the principal of a school, why would I lie to you?" Who would have thought that Chen Yuan was the owner of the voice?
"The principal of a school?! Everyone's faces turned pale, and they said in unison, "I'm sorry, Mr. Principal."
The student was being rude in front of the principal.
Chen Yuan did not mind and waved his hand. "Alright, don't look like you've just eaten a fly. Focus on the battle."
At the same time, he did not forget to guide this group of senior students. "Also, nothing is impossible in this world. You must remember that there's always someone better than you."
This group of senior students looked very embarrassed.
Magicians were known for being weak. As one of the three main support classes, they did not have any of the supporter's strengths, but they had a lot of weaknesses. One of them was weak physical strength.
"You told me that Lu Benwei, who killed a monster with one punch, was actually a magician."
"It's fake, right?"
"Principal, swear that you're not teasing us!"
Many of the senior students felt that their lives had been destroyed and they had lost the meaning of life.
Chen Yuan smiled. "Young people, don't be too discouraged. You still have a long road ahead of you. The future will be your stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from the projection above.
In the secret realm, the pale-yellow sun was being devoured bit by bit. A large cloud of black mist rolled over from the sky. Looking at it carefully, one would feel dizzy as if it could suck away one's soul.
Soon, a black dragon with two wings emerged from the black mist! It was several feet long and had a hateful face.
The black and red dragon scales were like pieces of breathing daggers, shining with black light. They opened and closed as the terrifying dragon breathed. A pair of blood-red wings unfurled, and the sky darkened again.
Its two golden vertical pupils narrowed, and its expression was filled with disdain as if it was sneering at this lowly human.
On the ground, Lu Benwei frowned slightly and activated the Eye of Insight!
[Eclipse Dragon]
[Level: 30]
[Rumor has it that it's the mount of the god of darkness, Lucifer. It has three terrifying talents. Although it's only level 30, its strength is even above levels 40 and 50.]
After reading the description of the Eclipse Dragon, Lu Benwei let out a deep sigh of relief, and his eyes became serious.
At the entrance of the secret realm, everyone's eyelids twitched, and their scalps went numb after hearing the dean's introduction of the Eclipse Dragon. 𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"The mount of the god of darkness, Lucifer. How terrifying is this monster?"
Many senior students were worried about Lu Benwei. Among them, many people were secretly gloating.
"Lu Benwei has been acting tough for so long, it's time for him to be defeated."
On the other side, Chen Yuan, Liu Yi, and the other deans gathered together and started to argue.
"Should we go in and save him? The king's bloodline secret realm isn't a joke. People can die there!"
"Lu Benwei's strength is indeed very powerful, beyond our imagination."
"But this dragon has the power of darkness. It's not something a magician can deal with!"
Liu Yi, on the other hand, told his group of colleagues to be at ease. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, as Lu Benwei's direct mentor, I know he'll pass this realm!"
Chapter 94
In the king's secret realm.
Lu Benwei and the Eclipse Dragon looked at each other, their deep eyes revealing endless killing intent.
The Eclipse Dragon looked down at him and spoke in the human language, "Human, why don't you kneel before me?"
Lu Benwei sneered and retorted, "Why are you acting like a big-tailed wolf?"
The Eclipse Dragon was enraged, and it opened its bloody mouth, spitting out a thick black mist.
[Corrosive Black Mist]
[Poison attribute skill. All creatures within range will be corroded and lose 500 health points per second.]
The dark energy within the black mist was rapidly eroding the life force of all living beings within its range. Everywhere it went, the dark brown soil turned white, and a strong rotten smell filled the air.
Looking at the description of Corrosive Black Mist, Lu Benwei snorted and stood still, letting the thick black mist cover his body.
Seeing this, the Eclipse Dragon laughed loudly. "Ant-like human, there's only one outcome for you if you let my Corrosive Black Mist corrode you, and that's to die in pain!"
"Swish!"
As soon as the dragon finished speaking, the Corrosive Black Mist quickly dissipated.
Lu Benwei, wearing the Viper Set, stood in place. 𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮
When the Eclipse Dragon saw this, its eyes flickered with confusion.
"What? You're not dead yet?"
Lu Benwei looked at him with contempt and said, "Idiot, this is the effect of my Viper Set."
Immune to all poison attribute attacks!
"Do you really think I'll just stand here and let you attack me?"
The Eclipse Dragon was enraged. After living for so many years, no human had ever dared to look down on it!
"Go to hell, human!"
The giant dragon flapped its wings, setting off a fierce wind, and then rushed toward Lu Benwei!
Lu Benwei smiled and shouted, "Heavenly Dog's Wrath!"
After a buzzing sound, a huge shadow of the heavenly dog enveloped his body. It was not angry, but it was powerful. Lu Benwei's aura skyrocketed as all his attributes increased.
With Mad Demon +10, Lu Benwei's strength had reached a terrifying level.
Facing the fierce wind, he punched with all his strength. With the power of thunder, the air was vibrating and crackling. The next second, Myriad Light Fist was like a shooting star!
Seeing this, the dragon did not retreat. Instead, it charged at Lu Bingwei like a mountain!
The dragon claw swiped through the air, gleaming with a sharp, cold light. It was as if it could cut open the throat of all living beings in the world. It was a terrifying sight!
A cold glint flashed past, negating the rain of fists that was like a sky full of stars.
"Human, is this your full-power attack?" The dragon sneered coldly.
Lu Benwei smiled and said, "You're so naive!"
Immediately after, he let out a strange cry, and the five bloodline powers suddenly glowed.
The Two-faced Ape and the Bloodline Silver Gull looked down on the Spirit Deer. The illusionary images of the five kinds of monsters appeared around him. Lu Benwei's four-dimensional attributes increased rapidly, increasing his combat power.
Lightning Speed was released!
With Silver Speed, Lu Benwei jumped onto the back of the dragon!
Myriad Light Fist was activated!
Fists as numerous as the stars landed on the back of the Eclipse Dragon, causing him to roar in pain. The sharp scales of the Eclipse Dragon exploded as it tried to shake Lu Benwei off its back.
Lu Benwei's reaction was extremely fast. He jumped into the air again and grabbed a dragon scale. With a clang, the dragon scale was forcibly pulled off.
The dragon roared in pain as it felt the pain on its back. Twisting its slender neck, the dragon saw Lu Benwei holding the dragon scale, which was dripping blood.
"Human, I'm going to tear you into pieces!"
The Eclipse Dragon was enraged. It opened its blood-red mouth and spat out a ball of high-temperature black flames.
Before he touched it, Lu Benwei felt a terrifying temperature. The air was twisted by the heat, and he could even smell a burning smell.
"Idiot, aren't you afraid of burning yourself?" Lu Benwei cursed.
Then, he released Lightning Speed again and Lu Benwei's speed increased to another level. He jumped and returned to the ground.
The moment his feet touched the ground, Lu Benwei felt a strong wind on his face! The Eclipse Dragon's black and thick tail swung at him.
Tail swing attack!
"Boom!"
Its black and thick tail hit Lu Benwei's face. He was sent flying back hundreds of meters.
However, the Eclipse Dragon did not give Lu Benwei a chance to catch his breath as it spat out extremely hot black flames from its bloody mouth.
[Monster Dragon Black Flame]
This was his most furious and most powerful attack! Wherever it went, all living beings were turned into charcoal!
The Eclipse Dragon breathed out at the large fan-shaped area in front of him for a long time. He only stopped when he was sure that Lu Benwei had already turned into charcoal.
After letting out a breath of hot air, the Eclipse Dragon muttered to himself, "Human, this is the price you have to pay for overstepping your boundaries. You're quite capable of forcing me to use my ultimate move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Benwei sneered.
"You..." The Eclipse Dragon's eyes trembled. "You didn't die? How is this possible?!"
That was the dragon's full-power attack. Any living creature would be turned into charcoal under it, not to mention a level-25 human!
The dragon looked at Lu Benwei, who was covered in a layer of white holy light, and looked at it with disdain.
The Eclipse Dragon was enraged again. It opened its mouth and was about to spew out black flames.
Lu Benwei did not give him a chance to release it.
Lightning Speed was released for the third time, and the layers were stacked to the third level.
As light as a swallow, Lu Benwei disappeared.
The Eclipse Dragon was stunned, unable to see anything with its eyes. Suddenly, its huge body trembled violently, and it felt a cold death intent behind it.
"You want to play the same old trick again?" The Eclipse Dragon thought that Lu Benwei was trying to pull off his scales again.
It twisted its long and thin neck, and the Monster Dragon Black Flame breathed out again!
"Idiot!"
A bone-chilling sneer was heard, causing the dragon to feel a chill from head to toe. The Eclipse Dragon twisted its neck again and saw Lu Benwei at its tail.
"What are you doing?"
Alarm bells went off in the dragon's heart, and its eyes were filled with fear.
Lu Benwei smiled and waved his hand. "Nothing, I just want you to play with me."
The next second, Lu Benwei grabbed the Eclipse Dragon's tail and his body glowed. The four great enhancement skills and the five bloodline powers on his body were dazzling!
Taking a deep breath, Lu Benwei grabbed the dragon's giant tail and swung it!
Chapter 95
The origin of the secret realm.
Their brows were tightly furrowed, their eyelids were twitching, their eyes were dazed, and the corners of their mouths were twitching.
"That's too cruel."
"Dragons are the kings of monsters, but they are being beaten up by Lu Benwei."
"Is this guy still human?"
In the sky, Lu Benwei grabbed the tail of the Eclipse Dragon like he was grabbing an earthworm.
What was crueler was, Lu Benwei grabbed the giant dragon's tail and spun in the air for a while. When he was tired, he would throw the dragon to the ground.
Everyone present exclaimed, "Abnormal!
"Mr. Liu, you've really picked up a genius." Some of the deans could not help but congratulate Liu Yi.
"Yeah, it's a fact that he's passed the king's bloodline secret realm. Mr. Liu, congratulations!" Someone came forward to congratulate him. "Your student's strength has improved."
Liu Yi was overjoyed at this moment, but he could not show it in front of so many people, so he put a half-smile on his face.
"You're too kind. My student's performance is still lacking. How can he be called a genius?"
At this time, the holographic projection in the sky suddenly disappeared, revealing the original scene.
"What's the situation?"
The crowd was stunned, but after a moment, many people reacted. This was the sign of Lu Benwei successfully passing the king's bloodline secret realm.
At this moment, the king's bloodline secret realm was already broken, and Lu Benwei stepped into the air.
[Congratulations on successfully passing the king's bloodline secret realm. The reward will be released soon.]
The mechanical voice came again, and a panel appeared in front of Lu Benwei.
[Congratulations, you have successfully passed the king's bloodline secret realm. Please choose one of the seven kings' bloodlines below.]
"King's bloodline?" Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment and asked.
At this moment, the mysterious mechanical sound came again.
[That's right, it's the king's bloodline.]
[They all have the high-grade bloodlines of the monsters of heaven and earth. Only terrifying creatures with king's level aptitudes can have the king's bloodline.]
The mysterious mechanical voice paused for a moment before continuing.
[This group of terrifying creatures with king-level aptitudes is equivalent to a level-80 monster king.]
Lu Benwei was secretly surprised. He had seen the strength of a level-80 monster king in close combat, the Flame Monster Emperor. Although he did not recover his full strength, his terrifying attack power left an indelible impression on Lu Benwei.
After that, he watched the battle between the two high-level monster kings and the level-80 powerhouses from a distance. Just a glance from afar was enough to make one's soul tremble and cold sweat soak their back.
At this time, the projection in front of Lu Benwei showed the seven kings' bloodlines.
[1. Seraphim's Bloodline, 2. Lucifer's Bloodline, 3. Earth Yale's Bloodline, 4. Heavenly Faith's Bloodline, 5. Molten Orton's Bloodline, 6. Ocean Ravid's Bloodline, 7. Forest Buddha Shura's Bloodline.]
Lu Benwei was speechless.
Without a doubt, the seven major bloodlines represented the power of seven different elements. The strength of the original body could not be underestimated.
After pondering for a while, Lu Benwei set his eyes on Seraphim's Bloodline and Lucifer's Bloodline. Light and darkness represented destruction and new life.
Only these two types were most suitable for magicians.
" Seraphim's Bloodline will be of great help to my recovery skills. But I have Minor Healing and Rain," Lu Benwei said to himself.
"What I urgently need right now is a destructive skill that can increase my attack power."
So he chose Lucifer's Bloodline.
The entire king's bloodline secret realm started to shake, and dark energy poured out from all directions. The dark energy gathered into a ball and then reached out an octopus-like tentacle into Lu Benwei's body. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝘮
[Ding! Congratulations on choosing Lucifer's Bloodline. You have obtained the talents and skills of the dark god Lucifer.]
[Blood of Darkness (passive talent)]
[The power of dark-type and blood-type skills is increased by 50 percent. Attributes will double in the dark.]
[Night Curse (active skill)]
[Actively create a night territory. In the night territory, all enemies' vision will be blocked, and the defense in the territory will be increased by 20 percent.]
"Is this the power of a king's bloodline?" Lu Benwei looked at the description of Lucifer's Bloodline and exclaimed.
"The power of darkness-type and blood-type skills has been increased by 50 percent. These two skills contain extremely terrifying destructive power. With an additional 50 percent, the power is simply unimaginable. At the same time, it can double one's attributes in the dark. As expected of a king's bloodline."
Lu Benwei took a deep breath and walked out of the king's bloodline realm.
The people in the secret realm could not wait any longer. After seeing Lu Benwei come out, they immediately surrounded him.
"Lu Benwei, you're out?" An old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came up and said, "Are you interested in making an exception to join our third-year Special Battle Hunter Class?"
Before he could finish, someone immediately pushed the old man to the side. "Lu Benwei, I'm the head of our school's Student Union. Are you interested in joining me?"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you the best guidance. I guarantee that you'll be much better than Mr. Liu."
When Liu Yi heard this, he was instantly so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He cursed, "Go away! You're snatching my student in front of me. Do you have any shame?!"
"Old Liu, don't be so petty. How about this? Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are yours. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are mine, and Lu Benwei can cultivate on his own on Sunday!"
Lu Benwei had become a popular candidate among the school's powerhouses, making the surrounding students green with envy.
"A first-year student can become the first person to obtain a king's bloodline. Should we say that we're too useless or that Lu Benwei is too strong?" a senior student asked gloomily.
"Damn, don't mention it. Now that I think about how I mocked this freshman for not being able to pass the simple bloodline secret realm, I can't help but dig my toes into the ground."
When some of the older students heard this, they were all stunned, and then their faces suddenly turned red. Some people wished they could find a hole to hide in.
"Do you think Lu Benwei will cause us trouble later?" someone said timidly.
"It's hard to say. Anyway, let's take advantage of the fact that they don't have time now and escape!"
On the other hand,
Lu Benwei's mouth twitched as he looked at the professors arguing about recruiting him.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Lu Benwei, what king's bloodline power did you choose?"
Chapter 96
The deans immediately stopped arguing and turned to look at Lu Benwei.
Chen Yuan walked forward and repeated. "Lu Benwei, do you know what bloodline power you got?"
"Lucifer's Bloodline," Lu Benwei replied.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Lucifer's bloodline?!
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. "Not bad. It's a suitable bloodline power for you. So, what are your plans?" he asked.
Lu Benwei pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Principal, I have a question."
"What's the question?"
"What's the sound in this secret realm? It doesn't sound like an AI, but it can guide us in the secret realm. What is it?"
As soon as he said that, the professors' faces changed drastically, and they were filled with shock.
Chen Yuan burst out laughing. "I didn't expect you to think of this problem, Lu Benwei."
Lu Benwei frowned slightly and felt a bit strange. At the same time, he was certain that the voice in this secret realm must be nothing ordinary.
Then, Chen Yuan turned around and clapped his hands. He said to the seniors who were still present, "Students, please leave. I'm going to give Lu Benwei special training."
Although the remaining seniors found it strange, they did not dare to disobey. They turned around and left the bloodline secret realm.
Seeing that all the people had left, Chen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and said, "Lu Benwei, do you know how many kings' bloodlines there are in this bloodline trial?"
"Isn't it seven?" Lu Benwei asked with some doubt.
"Eight." Chen Yuan shook his head.
"Eight?!" Lu Benwei was stunned.
Thinking about it, six of the seven bloodline powers were against each other and depended on each other, and only Forest Buddha Shura's Bloodline had no corresponding power.
"That's right," Chen Yuan said, "There was someone like you who passed the king's bloodline secret realm and took the first portion of bloodline power."
"I see. Oh, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the sound in the secret realm," Lu Benwei said. 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"After this person obtained the king's bloodline, he asked me the same question as you," Chen Yuan continued, "I told him the truth, but can you guess what happened after that?"
Lu Benwei's face turned black and he helplessly said, "Mr. Principal, can you get to the main point?"
"Alright, alright, let's cut the crap." Chen Yuan quickly waved his hand.
After a pause, his eyes became serious. "This sound comes from the final secret realm, the origin secret realm."
"There's still one final level?" Lu Benwei's pupils suddenly shrank.
"That's right! All the power in this bloodline secret realm comes from the final origin level," Chen Yuan replied in a deep voice, "Only those who have passed the king's bloodline secret realm will have the chance to challenge the final origin level."
"Lu Benwei, do you want to challenge it?"
Lu Benwei fell into deep thought. After listening to Chen Yuan's summary, he was greatly shocked. Even the king's bloodline came from this final level. How dangerous was this checkpoint in the origin secret realm?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Benwei said in a deep voice, "Principal, I want to go!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
"Lu Benwei, it's not that we're looking down on you, but no one has ever entered this secret realm before. The danger inside is no less than a mountain of blades or a sea of flames." An old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes tried to persuade him. "This isn't child's play. You need to reconsider."
Liu Yi's tone was also rather solemn. "That's the illusion of all the power in this secret realm. The strength is unfathomable, and it far surpasses the Eclipse Dragon. I advise you to think about it again."
Everyone was trying to persuade him, even Chen Yuan said, "Lu Benwei, I know you haven't shown your true strength yet, but this isn't child's play. You need to be prepared. Of course, if you want to enter, I won't stop you."
The rest of the students were dumbfounded by the principal's words. "Principal, you shouldn't spoil him!"
"None of us have entered the origin level. What if there's a supreme existence inside and Lu Benwei dies there?"
"Yes, Mr. Principal. Lu Benwei is the hope of our university. We can't let anything happen to him."
"Principal, why don't we both take a step back and let us accompany Lu Benwei into the origin level?" a professor suggested.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan waved his hand and refused. "The child has his own path. Let the child go on his own."
Chen Yuan looked at Lu Benwei and said, "What do you think?"
Lu Benwei thought for a moment. He had been working day and night to become stronger for the past few days with only one goal in mind. It was to go to the legendary Giant Kingdom!
That place was truly dangerous. To obtain the antidote, one must have invincible power.
Lu Benwei said in a deep voice, "Mr. Principal, I want to try it out myself."
"Alright!" Chen Yuan clapped and praised me!
The others stomped their feet in anxiety, but there was nothing they could do.
"Mr. Principal, how do I enter the origin level checkpoint?" Lu Benwei asked.
"It's far away, but it's right in front of you," Chen Yuan said with a mysterious smile.
After saying that, he drew an array with one of his feet.
Chen Yuan said, "This is the magic key to open the origin level barrier. The incantation can only be mastered by the previous headmasters. It has been a long time since I last used it."
The magic circle slowly turned and began to chant. In the center, a stone door slowly rose. Although it was no different from the other stone gates, it exuded an ancient aura.
Chen Yuan patted Lu Benwei's shoulder, "Child, go and take back what belongs to you."
Lu Benwei nodded and jumped into the bloodline secret realm. After a burst of dazzling light, he landed on a blood-red land.
The corpses of monsters lay on the ground, and their black-red blood had already flowed like a river. The air was filled with the aura of a fierce monster. As soon as Lu Benwei landed on the ground, a hateful monster immediately pounced on him.
Lu Benwei's eyes were sharp, and his hands were fast as he quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, he kicked the monster hard.
The monster flew out and smashed heavily into the ground. However, after a few seconds, it stood up.
Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment, then he sneered.
"As expected of an origin secret realm. I can't even hurt the monsters here with my physical strength."
With that, the Eye of Insight was activated and the information about all the monsters within a thousand miles entered Lu Benwei's mind.
Chapter 97
"Hiss! Hu!"
The information about the monsters in the original secret realm poured into Lu Benwei's mind like a tide.
After taking a deep breath, Lu Benwei said to himself, "As expected of an origin level bloodline secret realm. The monsters here are at least level 30, and they have at least two innate skills."
At this very moment, more and more monsters sensed the aura of humans. After being trapped in this secret realm for so many years, they had long been unable to endure their thirst.
"It's a human!"
"I'm so thirsty. I want to drink human blood!"
"Human, obediently let us devour you!"
The greedy murmurs of countless monsters entered Lu Benwei's mind.
He laughed coldly as a sharp ancient sword slowly appeared in his hand. His eyes narrowed. "You're so naive! This is a feast of slaughter for me!"
After saying that, he activated the Viper Set and held the Ancient Sword of Clarity!
Mad Demon +10, strength attribute increased by 300 percent!
The Ancient Sword of Clarity weapon effect – double all attributes!
Lu Benwei shouted and rushed toward the group of monsters. A cold glint arrived first, and then the sword shot out like a dragon! Wherever Lu Benwei went, the heads of monsters fell to the ground.
At this moment, at the origin of the secret realm, the deans and professors were anxious like ants on a hot pan. Many of them had their hands behind their backs and were pacing back and forth in a daze.
"Principal, you're so silly!" Finally, someone could not help but complain about Chen Yuan's decision.
"Lu Benwei is still a child. Being able to obtain a king's bloodline power is already beyond our expectations. You shouldn't have let him take the risk to enter the origin secret realm."
At this moment, Chen Yuan was lying on his side on a floating staff, looking very lazy.
Hearing everyone's complaints, Chen Yuan let out a lazy yawn. "Isn't it Lu Benwei's decision? The child is so hot-blooded and wants to become strong. How can I bear to pour cold water on his enthusiasm?"
Then, Chen Yuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, go and do your own things. You guys should learn from Mr. Liu. As Lu Benwei's direct mentor, he's not in a hurry at all."
Then, he pointed at Liu Yi, who was squatting in the corner.
Everyone's lips twitched crazily when they heard this. They all knew that Liu Yi was anxious. If they had not stopped him, Liu Yi would have fought with Chen Yuan. Liu Yi was now squatting in the corner and praying for Lu Benwei.
Suddenly, a huge tremor came from the sky. Everyone looked over. The sky seemed to be covered by thunderclouds, flashing madly.
"What's going on?" a professor asked, his nerves on high alert.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan yawned and said, "Calm down. It's probably going to be like before, a holographic projection of the scene in the origin secret realm.
When everyone heard this, they all laughed in joy. With the holographic projection, they would be able to know the situation in the origin secret realm. Chen Yuan wanted them to make a judgment and be ready to save Lu Benwei at any time. Liu Yi also hurriedly sat up from the ground and looked up at the holographic projection in the sky.
"Strange, why is it so dark?" one of the deans asked.
The rest of the people could not help but have doubts in their hearts. They narrowed their eyes and looked at the black holographic projection.
Suddenly, Liu Yi jumped in anger and said in shock, "Damn it, we were wrong. This is a monster army!"
Hearing this, everyone focused their eyes again. Under the darkness, the heads of the monsters were moving, densely packed, and dark. They were all heading in one direction, and the end of that direction was Lu Benwei.
Everyone felt their scalps go numb, and their brows furrowed into a line.
"What do we do?" Liu Yi could not wait.
Shocking!
Anxiety!
Fear!
A series of expressions appeared on his face. After pacing around a few times, Liu Yi suddenly said, "No, I have to go in and get Lu Bingwei out."
After saying that, he prepared to enter the stone gate of the origin secret realm. His other colleagues grabbed him.
"Mr. Liu, calm down."
"You're just a supporter. We should be the ones going."
When Liu Yi heard this, his tense nerves eased a little. "Then who are you going to send?"
Before anyone could respond, Chen Yuan suddenly said, "No one is allowed to go! This is Lu Benwei's battle. Let him handle it alone."
When Liu Yi heard this, his gray beard trembled violently. "Principal, this is a matter of life and death. Lu Benwei's opponent, whether in terms of quantity or quality, is not comparable to the monster army in Northwind Mountain two days ago."
"Mr. Liu, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be hasty." Chen Yuan smiled.
Chen Yuan pointed at the holographic projection and said, "You can take a look first! Maybe Lu Benwei can handle it."
At this moment, the monster army seemed endless, and it surged toward Lu Benwei from all directions like a tsunami.
Everyone's heart suddenly began to beat violently.
"How do we deal with so many monsters?"
"What a pity!" Someone sighed deeply. "Such a peerless genius is about to fall."
Liu Yi's eyelids were also twitching. He put his hands together and said, "Namo Amitabha, may god bless Lu Benwei. May he be safe."
Chen Yuan walked over and patted his shoulder. "Relax, look at the child. He's not dead yet."
When everyone heard this, their mouths twitched as they looked into the secret realm. 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Lu Benwei was wearing the Viper Set and holding the Ancient Sword of Clarity, cutting the monsters as if they were vegetables. The scene was extremely bloody.
However, this still could not resolve the worries in everyone's hearts.
"I have to say, Lu Benwei's physical strength is comparable to a second transition warrior."
"Nut, what's the use? There are as many monsters as a tide. Even if 10 monsters reduce Lu Benwei's strength, the next second, Lu Benwei will be gnawed away like ants."
"Why aren't you using your ultimate move?"
"Principal, why didn't he use any skills this time? Is he just going to let his strength be drained away bit by bit?"
Time passed by. Everyone's expressions changed from worry to shock, and finally to calmness.
Lu Benwei was like a ruthless killing machine. If a monster pounced over, he would use the Ancient Sword of Clarity to slash it to death.
Occasionally, he would activate Holy Light Shield and Heavenly Light Shield.
Someone's mouth twitched. "I don't know if Lu Benwei is tired. Anyway, I'm tired."
Some people turned around and complained. "This wave of monsters isn't good enough. He even used a buff skill. I was just thinking of seeing the talent skill of Lucifer's Bloodline."
Ridiculing was one thing, and joking was another.
At this moment, all of them had unanimously listed Lu Benwei as a top genius.
Chapter 98
After an unknown amount of time, the monsters in the original secret realm were all killed by Lu Benwei.
The corpses of the monsters lay on the ground in a mess. Blood had already dyed the ground scarlet red. Dozens of meters down, the soil was still the color of blood.
Lu Benwei wiped the sweat off his forehead, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged. After a few breaths, his condition returned to its peak.
"He's finally shown himself."
Lu Benwei slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him stood a woman who was emitting a white holy light. She was tall and slender, two heads taller than Lu Benwei. She was the master of the bloodline secret realm and the final boss.
Lu Benwei activated the Eye of Insight and took in all her information.
[Origin Ghost]
[Level: 35]
[Talents and skills: Order Chain, Transcendence Demonic Light, Mirror Mist…]
[This was a supreme existence when it was alive. After it died, it was buried here. Its soul created this bloodline secret realm. Although it has little soul power left, it's still the master of this world.]
Lu Benwei looked at the introduction of the Origin Ghost and was in a daze.
Just the power of the soul alone could create this world, and the remaining power could also display the power of a level 35.
At this moment, the Origin Ghost said, "Congratulations on reaching this stage. You're the first one after so many years."
Lu Benwei's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you my next opponent?"
"That's right," the Origin Ghost replied.
After saying that, she shot out a white light wave from her hands. The lightwave was holy and pure, but it was filled with a thick aura of death.
Lu Benwei was shocked. "F*ck, you've lived for so long. How dare you attack me immorally?!"
At the same time, his hand did not stop moving and he activated the Holy Light Shield in front of him.
However, the power of the holy lightwave was extremely strong, and the Holy Light Shield could not even last one attack.
Lu Benwei's eyes flashed and the Ancient Sword of Clarity appeared in his hand. It was as black as ink and seemed to be a void world that could devour everything and dissipate all attacks.
He held the sword with both hands and slashed horizontally. The sword light was boundless and pounced out like the dark knight covering the ground. It intertwined with the holy lightwave and rumbled.
Lu Benwei held his sword and slashed for a long time before he could offset the holy lightwave.
"Give up. There's a 10-level difference between us. It's hard to bridge the gap with talent," the Origin Ghost said coldly.
Lu Benwei also responded in a cold voice, "There's no turning back. I must get the magic weapons in this world."
Hearing this, the Origin Ghost's eyes shot out a cold light. "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say."
After saying that, she shot out a wave of holy light with both hands.
"Magic Light!"
Lu Benwei's eyes were sharp, and his hands were fast. A huge shadow of the heavenly dog appeared on his body, exuding endless anger. Under the blessing of rage, Lu Benwei's attributes soared.
The Ancient Sword of Clarity once again slashed horizontally.
With Heavenly Dog's Wrath, Lu Benwei was able to resist the Magic Light easily.
At this moment, outside the origin secret realm.
Everyone looked at the scene in the secret realm and sighed.
"Sigh, the Origin Ghost is so powerful. This is the first time I've seen Lu Benwei lose."
"Both of them are peerless existences with extraordinary talents. However, there's still a difference of ten levels between them. The gap cannot be bridged by talent."
After sighing again and again, some professors lowered their heads and could not bear to watch anymore.
At this time, Chen Yuan's lazy yet deep voice was heard. "Don't be discouraged. Lu Benwei hasn't shown his true strength yet, right?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
Lu Benwei did not show his true strength. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Origin Ghost had yet to reveal its true strength.
"Yo!" Chen Yuan suddenly exclaimed, "I didn't expect Lu Benwei to get a flying skill at level 25."
Everyone heard this and looked up. He saw Lu Benwei and the Origin Ghost chasing each other in the sky.
Lightning Speed was activated!
One-Key Speed Support was activated!
With Silver Speed, Lu Benwei's speed in the sky was very fast. However, the speed of the Origin Ghost was above Lu Benwei. 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Magic Light was shot at Lu Bingwei.
Lu Benwei's eyes were cold. He stopped running and turned around to release Myriad Light Fist. Before this, he had already used four skills.
Killing Aura.
Heavenly Dog's Wrath.
Sharp Blade.
Heavenly Dog's Blade.
Lu Benwei's body showed a strange scene. His aura was strong, and his every move seemed to be able to break mountains and rivers.
The star-like fist blocked the Transcendence Demonic Light that seemed to be breaking through everything.
The Origin Ghost saw that Lu bBenwei was no longer holding back and began to chant a spell. Then, a clone that looked exactly like the Origin Ghost appeared. One of them was empty-handed, while the other was holding a long sword.
Seeing this, Lu Benwei shouted and stood together with the sword-wielding ghost with the Ancient Sword of Clarity in his hand.
As the two of them fought, the ghost suddenly pulled away from Lu Benwei. It turned out that it was another ghost body, and it had actually used tens of thousands of chains.
[Order Chain]
[After being hit, the target will be confined within the range for five seconds.]
Lu Benwei activated the Eye of Insight to instantly read the function of the Order Chain.
After a moment of surprise, Lu Benwei once again released Lightning Speed. Behind him, tens of thousands of chains shimmering with laws and order interweaved, locking down the space.
Suddenly, Lu Benwei felt a sense of death. It was the ghost holding the sword. Seeing this, he held the Ancient Sword of Clarity and fought with him again.
However, at this moment, Lu Benwei was imprisoned in the space created by the Order Chain. He slashed out with the sword in his hand, emitting dozens of cross-shaped sword lights, but he could not break the attack.
After five seconds, the Order Chain dissipated.
Lu Benwei thought that he had survived a disaster, but he did not expect that several Transcendence Demonic Lights were already in front of him.
"Boom!"
The holy light waves from all directions covered Lu Benwei in three layers and emitted a strong sense of death.
The crowd at the outer circle was shocked and their hearts were in their throats. No one would have a chance of survival under such an attack. Many people sighed sadly and looked at Liu Yi.
At this moment, Liu Yi kneeled on the ground with an ashen face, his eyes staring blankly at the center of the holographic projection.
However, when the thick light wave dissipated, everyone's eyes widened!
Chapter 99
Lu Benwei was covered in the bright holy light of the Heavenly Light Shield. At the same time, five bloodline lights bloomed from his body.
Under his skin, the power of the bloodlines flowed with five different colors – red, orange, yellow, green, and azure. It was dazzling. The five types of bloodline power formed five powerful bloodline phantoms that surrounded Lu Benwei.
Everyone was overjoyed to see this.
"I almost forgot that Lu Benwei has five different bloodlines from bronze to diamond."
"We've finally escaped a calamity. Just how many movies has this child not used yet?"
Chen Yuan heard everyone's exclamations and said, "I don't know how many more moves he has, but don't forget that Lu Benwei just passed the king's bloodline secret realm."
Everyone's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
"Lucifer's Bloodline!"
They shouted in unison.
"Night Curse!"
The sky above Lu Benwei quickly turned dark. His own eyes also became as dark as the night.
Lucifer's Bloodline and Blood of Darkness were activated!
Lu Benwei's attributes doubled! With four powerful enhancement skills and five strange bloodline powers, his combat power reached its maximum.
The Origin Ghost's eyes turned cold.
"What a huge amount of amplification ability, all of his attributes have actually reached above level 30!"
"I'll surprise you more," Lu Benwei replied coldly.
Then, the Ancient Sword of Clarity in his hand began to hum, and the sword light shone with a cold light, exuding an aura of endless destruction.
After a few seconds, the Divine Sword of Destruction's sword light shot toward the Origin Ghost.
The destructive sword light covered the sky and scattered the night sky. It was like the chanting of the death god, its power boundless and the aura of death overflowing the sky!
The Origin Ghost was hit by the Divine Sword of Destruction, and it was sent flying.
After that, the Origin Ghost's body was torn into pieces. White pieces of the corpse flew and shattered, leaving only a white ball of light in the air.
Lu Benwei guessed that this was the source of the Origin Ghost. He stepped on the void and floated over.
"Do you still want to continue?" Lu Benwei said lightly.
The Origin Ghost replied, "You win!"
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his usual self.
"What's the reward for defeating you?" he asked directly.
"It's..."
Just as the Origin Ghost was about to answer, the sky and the earth suddenly trembled.
"Not good!" The Origin Ghost's expression changed instantly as he exclaimed in surprise.
"What's happening?!" Lu Benwei asked.
"It's an undead insurrection! I've been defeated by you," the Origin Ghost said, "My strength has been greatly reduced. I can't suppress the dead souls in this secret realm."
After a pause, the Origin Ghost continued, "All the monsters in this level are transformed into the undead."
Lu Benwei also felt that what was happening was not good and quickly asked, "What should I do?"
The Origin Ghost replied, "There's no need to panic. With my current energy, I can still suppress a large part of it. However, I may have to trouble you with some powerful undead."
"No problem!"
After Lu Benwei replied, dozens of terrifying undead descended from the sky. He found them familiar. All of them were level 30 and above!
"Brat, you're here too!" The group of undead spoke in the human language and roared angrily.
"Since you're here, let's settle the old and new scores together!"
"How sad…" Lu Benwei sneered. "After being killed once, the undead is still trapped in this secret realm. From the looks of it, you guys want to be trampled on by me a second time?"
When the undead heard this, they all flew into a rage.
"Human, you're seeking death! The Origin Ghost's strength has been greatly reduced, and our strength is no longer suppressed. How can we still be trampled by you?"
Then, one by one, they made a terrifying sound and pounced at Lu Benwei. His expression was cold.
At this time, the four major enhancement skills and the enhancement of the five bloodline powers had yet to fade. Lucifer's Bloodline was still providing him with dark energy.
"Crack."
Lu Benwei's body crackled with lightning. The sky rumbled and dark clouds covered the sky. This group of undead was shocked. Souls were most afraid of lightning.
"Boom!"
" Myriad Thunder Skill!" Lu Benwei shouted.
Bolts of lightning fell from the sky like the heads of dragons, tearing each undead creature apart with the most overbearing attack in the world.
"Argh!"
The undead let out heart-wrenching roars. Under the lightning, their figures were sometimes real and sometimes illusory and finally turned into soul powder.
Outside the secret realm, everyone was stunned. They did not expect Lu Benwei to have such a skill.
Chen Yuan slapped his thigh and laughed. "I was just wondering who released the lightning pool that day in Northwind Mountain. So, it was this kid."
The holographic projection in the sky slowly turned off, and everyone was silent. They were all shocked by Lu Benwei's performance in the battle.
Finally, Chen Yuan stood up and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, seal off all information about this place. No one is allowed to leak any information to the outside world."
Everyone was excited when they heard this. They all knew what Chen Yuan's order meant. With such a student, the revival of Zhejiang Hunter University was in sight!
Not only did he use his own power to overturn people's understanding of magicians but it also gave people a new way of understanding combat.
Lu Benwei's physical strength was extremely strong, and his defense and recovery ability was outstanding. What was even more terrifying was that his attack power and methods had long surpassed his own level.
Lu Benwei might be the real hope of the human race in this era!
"What will it be like when Lu Benwei really grows up?" someone asked in surprise.
At this moment, in the origin secret realm.
Lu Benwei had cleared the secret realm and as a reward, he had three options.
[1. Darkmoon Wolf, 2. Light Titan, 3. Holy Key Sage]
These three rewards were all origin bloodlines. The origin bloodline was the top bloodline in the world. Those who had this bloodline could be in the league of legendary origin and had unlimited potential!
Under the Origin Ghost's suggestion, Lu Benwei chose the third source bloodline.
[Origin bloodline: Holy Key Sage]
[Holy Song (passive talent)]
[User will not suffer any negative effects and does not need to use any skills. Normal attacks will contain light energy. Wisdom will be increased by 50 percent, and when using light attribute skills, there's a 30 percent chance of a critical hit!]
However, after Lu Benwei successfully merged with the Holy Key Sage, the secret realm changed drastically!
Chapter 100
"Boom boom boom!"
A deafening explosion shook the sky, and the secret realm collapsed. The sky shattered like a mirror. The ground was like a spider web as cracks kept spreading out until they reached the sky.
Lu Benwei saw the change and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
The Origin Ghost replied with a bitter smile, "My energy can only barely maintain the operation of the rules of this secret realm. After you took away the origin-level bloodline, my power decreased. I'm afraid this secret realm is going to collapse."
"I see. Then how can we stop this secret realm from collapsing?" Lu Benwei asked.
The Origin Ghost shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I just need to rest for a few days and the secret realm will be restored to its original state."
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief.
The Origin Ghost said, "It's about to collapse. You should get out!"
Lu Benwei nodded and cupped his fists. "Goodbye, see you again."
"We'll meet again!"
At the same time, the origin of the secret realm suffered the same situation. The sky shattered like a mirror. The stone doors slowly dug into the ground one by one and were about to disappear.
"Principal, what's going on?" a dean asked.
Chen Yuan's face was solemn, but he was very puzzled.
"I don't know, but in general, we can't stay here for long. Let's go out first."
"What about Lu Benwei?" Liu Yi quickly asked.
Chen Yuan was at a loss for words.
"I don't care, I'm going in to save him!" Liu Yi saw that Chen Yuan did not say anything, so he gritted his teeth and ran toward the stone gate of the original secret realm.
However, at this moment, the ground near the stone gate of the original secret realm cracked. Vast and scorching earth qi gushed out. The smoke got to Liu Yi's eyes, and he retreated while screaming in pain.
At the same time, the ground under Liu Yi's feet was quickly rolling up. The huge crack was like a swimming dragon, quickly swimming under his feet.
"Mr. Liu!" the crowd exclaimed.
Chen Yuan's eyes were sharp, and his hands were fast. A pair of white wings grew on his back and flapped quickly as he rushed to Liu Yi's rescue. Chen Yuan grabbed Liu Yi and escaped from the predicament.
However, the stone door to the entrance to the original secret realm had already been submerged by the earth and sunk into the ground.
Liu Yi's heart was like dead ashes, but he was helpless. Right now, the origin of the secret realm is rapidly collapsing. If they continued to act wilfully, everyone would be buried here.
At the same time, the entire Zhejiang Hunter University heard a loud noise coming from the bloodline secret realm. All the students and teachers felt the terrifying fluctuations.
"What's happening?"
"What happened in the bloodline secret realm?"
"Hopefully nothing will happen there. The people in the bloodline secret realm are all geniuses with SSS-rank resources in our school. They represent our hope."
"Let's go and take a look!"
Countless students headed to the bloodline secret realm with curiosity. Just as they were approaching, Chen Yuan's angry roar came from the sky.
"All students aren't allowed to get close to the bloodline secret realm! I repeat, all students aren't allowed to approach the bloodline secret realm! If you're discovered near the bloodline secret realm, you'll be expelled from the school!"
The students stopped in their tracks. They all recognized Chen Yuan's voice.
"What's happening?"
"Why is the principal so angry?!"
"Could it be that the supreme existence in the depths of the bloodline secret realm has been awakened?"
As soon as he said that, all the students' expressions changed. They immediately went back the way they came, distancing themselves from the bloodline secret realm.
Now, the bloodline secret realm has been reduced to ruins. Outside the secret realm, Liu Yi stretched his neck and looked at the ruins with eager eyes.
"Principal, Lu Benwei is so stubborn," Liu Yi said unwillingly.
Chen Yuan heaved a long sigh. "The secret realm collapsed and Lu Benwei was trapped in it. He's probably dead."
The other professors and deans also heaved a long sigh.
"It's such a pity for this genius that the secret realm collapsed!"
"It's all my fault." Chen Yuan closed his eyes and his voice was filled with self-blame. "Poor Lu Benwei, he just died like that."
"Ahem, who cursed me to death?!"
As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, everyone heard Lu Benwei's voice.
Liu Yi cried tears of joy and shouted, "Lu Benwei?! Where are you?"
Lu Benwei coughed a few times and replied, "Mr. Liu? Quickly come and help me!"
When Liu Yi and the others heard this, they immediately went in the direction of the sound.
Lu Benwei's upper body was exposed, while his lower body was buried in the ground. The crowd did not know whether to laugh or cry, and then they pulled Lu Benwei out of the ground.
After Lu Benwei came out, he said angrily, "Who was the person who cursed me to death just now?"
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this, and their eyes drifted to Chen Yuan from time to time.
Lu Benwei immediately understood and laughed. "Oh, the weather's pretty good today…"
"Alright, enough nonsense." Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Lu Benwei, you're in the secret realm. Do you know what happened?"
Lu Benwei scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that I took away the origin-level bloodline, causing the secret realm's origin to lose a portion of its power. It couldn't hold on any longer and the secret realm collapsed."
Chen Yuan's mouth was twitching, and his heart was bleeding. 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The bloodline secret realm was the most precious asset of the university. Many talented geniuses had chosen to enter the university because of it. If the outside world knew about this, the recruitment of Zhejiang Hunter University would be even more difficult next year.
Everyone could hear Chen Yuan's heart bleeding and sighed helplessly.
Seeing everyone's ashen faces, Lu Benwei said, "Mr. Principal, Mr. Liu, and teachers, there's no need for everyone to worry. The source of this bloodline secret realm is still here. I believe it will recover soon."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"Brat, don't simply say nonsense!" Liu Yi gently patted Lu Benwei's back. "I was almost scared to death."
Chen Yuan's tightly furrowed brows also relaxed.
"Since this bloodline secret realm can repair itself, I won't hold you responsible. However, the collapse of the bloodline secret realm has turned this place into a mess. Lu Benwei, I order you to clean up this place before you leave here," Chen Yuan said.
"No way, Mr. Principal. I'm the first person in our school to obtain an origin-level bloodline. Not only is there no reward, but you're also punishing me with cleaning?" Lu Benwei wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get to work."
After Chen Yuan and the others left, Lu Benwei looked at the hill-like ruins and sighed.
"Principal, I don't understand why you want Lu Benwei to clean the place," Liu Yi asked while walking.
Chen Yuan replied, "There are countless pairs of eyes outside. If Lu Benwei comes out with us, what do you think the students outside will think?"
"We have to keep the matter of Lu Benwei obtaining the origin bloodline a secret. At least, we can't let outsiders know that it was Lu Benwei who obtained the origin bloodline!"
