20demayo Chapter 78 "The score is very close."
Chapter 78 "The score is very close."
"Phew! The red zone is just ahead. Time for a short rest."
After checking the map, Wang Sheng found a shady spot to sit down.
Then, he opened the current points ranking.
1. Wang Sheng: 530 points
2. Wan Xiaolei: 220 points
[3. Pei Weiyang: 210 points]
5. Ning Ruoyin: 190 points
"The score is very close."
Wang Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
He died several times along the way, but killed some strange beasts in return, and his strength increased considerably.
"Killed by the 'Sickle Mantis,' my 'Pig Slaughtering Manual' advanced to the Xuan-rank 'Ten Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique,' and I even comprehended the intent of the blade."
talking.
Wang Sheng formed his hand into a knife, and a loud "bang" was heard.
A tree about the size of a bowl was cut in half, the break perfectly smooth.
If it were just a matter of destructive power, Wang Sheng could certainly break a tree with a single punch, but it would never create such a clean break.
This is the essence of the sword: to cut things even without a sword in hand.
"Although it's only at the most basic level of 'insight,' it's still the first martial arts concept I've ever grasped."
Unlike fighting spirit, martial arts intent is divided into fist and foot techniques and weapons. Each school has its own strengths, weaknesses and characteristics. As long as you use the same type of martial arts, you can use martial intent to enhance your combat power. You can also combine it with fighting spirit to multiply your power.
This concept is not difficult to understand: fighting spirit is the way, martial spirit is the technique, and when they are combined, they create the various martial arts styles.
"To my shame, after using this fist technique for so long, I still haven't grasped its essence. Could it be that my divine bone aptitude is lacking?"
After saying that, Wang Sheng didn't dwell on it any longer.
If you lack the qualifications, make up for it with hard work!
"After being killed by the 'Cloud Smoke Leopard,' my Battle Spirit in the 'Primordial Wilderness Scripture' was enhanced, and my reconnaissance abilities became stronger."
The king released his vital energy, and a faint spiritual fluctuation followed, easily sensing the threat within a radius of four hundred meters.
This ability is not uncommon for martial artists, but Wang Sheng's superiority lies in having such reconnaissance capabilities at the mere second level.
"Then he was killed by the 'Blood Tiger,' gaining the special combat skill 'Burning Blood Technique' and 'King's Might.'"
As Wang Sheng spoke, his aura changed, and he became like a fierce tiger. Any martial artist of the same level would tremble with fear upon seeing him, and would find it difficult to muster the will to fight.
"Finally, there's the 'Charming Fox,' and the ability gained from killing it is......"
"The method of 'sexual intercourse'".
Wang Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
What's the point of this ability?
Where would he find someone to drain his life force? And he even absorbs other people's cultivation! Isn't that harming others for his own benefit?
Wang Sheng shook his head helplessly, deciding to pretend that the trick didn't exist.
"Speaking of which, I've also discovered that at my level, the [Final Transformation] won't directly grant me the combat power to fight against level three alien beasts, or the defense power to completely avoid level three damage. Instead, it will develop horizontally, specifically gaining some resistance capabilities."
[Sticky] It becomes chewing gum that resists biting, which is a prime example.
Having grasped the essence of the sword, Wang Sheng's [Extrasensory Reflex] would spontaneously allow him to use the sword's intent to block the scythe-wielding mantis.
It felt like a knife tip was stabbing at your eyes, and your body instinctively had to blink or dodge.
"They say having more skills is never a bad thing, and that might not be a bad thing. Although the improvement is a bit slow... I still have this."
With a thought, Wang Sheng took out four alien cores from his bracelet.
He didn't eat them all at once, but planned to wait until he had accumulated a certain number before eating them all at once. This would cause him to explode again and increase his strength.
Moreover, Wang Sheng actually had other uses for collecting these things...
"That's about enough, time to enter the red zone."
Wang Sheng looked up at the sky.
Time here is different from the real world; it took two hours after we entered for it to start showing signs of darkness.
"According to the brochure inside the watch, there are even more monsters at night. It's time for me to show off my real skills and widen the gap between myself and the other contestants."
With that, Wang Sheng stood up and continued walking forward.
......
Meanwhile, in another part of the orange zone.
The two geniuses of Xinghai Province met here.
"It's you, Wan Xiaolei."
Pei Weiyang sheathed her long sword and looked coldly at the burly man.
The other person was only sixteen years old, but he was quite big, standing at least 1.9 meters tall, but this was not Pei Weiyang's main concern.
"I can't see through his cultivation level. Has this guy broken through to the third realm yet?"
Wan Xiaolei stood on the high slope, hands behind his back, glancing back slightly.
"Ah, it's the daughter of the Primordial Martial Saint."
Pei Weiyang's expression changed upon hearing this.
She hated being called that, as if it was the only thing she had to offer, even though she was unmatched among her peers and no one could beat her.
But before she could say anything, Wan Xiaolei continued:
"I've long heard of your great reputation. To be honest, I originally planned to take this opportunity to compete with you and see who can truly be called invincible among their peers."
As he spoke, his fighting spirit was palpable, and that unparalleled aura convinced Pei Weiyang that Wan Xiaolei was definitely the strongest peer she had ever met!
"but......"
Wan Xiaolei's imposing aura suddenly vanished:
"I've changed my mind."
Pei Weiyang paused for a few seconds, then quickly guessed his thoughts:
"You want to compete with that guy named Wang Sheng? Ha, I don't think he's anything special. If you want to get so many points in a short time, you and I could do it too, but neither of us is stupid enough to be so reckless at the beginning."
That's not a lie.
If she or Wan Xiaolei wanted to score as many points as possible in a short time, they could achieve the same effect.
But this exam isn't a speed race; it's a competition of how many points you can get in seven days.
At this point, calculating energy distribution and assessing the geographical situation become particularly important.
Wang Sheng's reckless and aggressive approach from the start caused his stamina to drop rapidly. If he made a mistake and got injured, it would become very difficult for him to continue.
If you're lucky, you might survive and retreat to a low-risk area to slowly rack up points.
If you're unlucky, you might get trapped in a danger zone and die without any help.
Even if you give this kind of fool resources to cultivate, he'll probably just waste them on the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaolei shook his head:
"He went to the red zone."
Pei Weiyang was taken aback.
"Now?"
"Yes, he's still exploring it in greater depth."
Night is falling, and the night will become especially dangerous.
Besides, after so many battles, people deserve a rest.
In this situation, it's questionable whether Wang Sheng's decision to venture deep into enemy territory alone was due to stupidity or overconfidence.
After all, anyone who isn't stupid knows how dangerous it is to enter the red zone alone at night.
"We can cooperate."
Suddenly, Wan Xiaolei spoke.
"Um?"
This greatly shocked Pei Weiyang, who thought that a peerless genius like Wan Xiaolei would disdain forming a team.
Especially since the purpose of forming a team is to fight against another person.
At this moment, Wan Xiaolei was seen looking towards the red zone:
"If there were two of you, you should be confident enough to sneak into the red zone at night, right?"
"Ha, don't look down on people."
Pei Weiyang had essentially agreed.
The two exchanged glances and quickly headed towards the red zone.
That night.
Wang Sheng took out six Level 3 alien cores and placed them openly on the ground.
Next to it was a simple barbecue grill, where the hind leg meat of the fox was being grilled.
"The alien beasts should be able to smell the alien core."
He muttered to himself.
"I've also heard that the scent of seductive foxes is attractive to them, so that should make things foolproof."
The bait is ready; we await the beast to take the bait.
