Xuefeng looked at his points and rank after almost two hours of grinding across various activities and frowned, not expecting they would take so much time to gain only a little over five thousand points.

Although they had a healthy lead over their competition, the other top ten members already surpassed them, each having seven thousand points. It could only mean that either they already hunted eighteen beasts or simply stole this much from others, claiming it as their own. 

If that turned out to be true, just by being top ten members they would be hated by others. 

"I think we need to change our strategy," Dongmei proposed as she compared her card with his own. Their points were identical but it was Wuxing who had all the top scores. 

"Even with all the rewards from the records, it will be hard for us to beat them. We will need to reach at least twenty thousand points but we only have two hours left." Dongmei added, putting Wuying deep in thought. 

They just left one of the activity sites which task resolved around assembling guns and wanted to move to another spot when they stopped to check their status. 

"I know, I'm thinking…" Wuxing acknowledged as he began scrolling through the activities. They already cleared ten of them yet it was still not enough. 

"How about we skip every small activity and go only for the big rewards? This way we can reach twenty thousand much faster," Wuxing suggested with a sigh, his plan to secure every record failing. 

"I think this is for the better," Dongmei nodded, squeezing his hand and pointed at his card. "We can skip the eleventh activity and go right into challenges with the instructors. I think we should be able to get those five thousand points pretty easily." 

"Let's get going then," Wuxing agreed without hesitation. 

He didn't think they would have any troubles with them until they reached the challenger rings and saw a person flying past the hole in the crowd. Seeing the person eat dirt, they immediately realized the challenges might not be as easy as they thought. 

They peeked through the hole and witnessed a buff male instructor accept another challenge. It seemed like one of the challenges was mixed martial arts as both of them had soft gloves on, ready to fight bare handed.

"Do you know the rules?" the instructor asked with a deep voice while punching the air aimlessly and jumping from side to side. "Once you hit the ground and can't stand up for five seconds, you are out. We don't do wrestling." 

"Yes sir!" the challenger nodded eagerly, copying the instructor's moves. Although his build was comparable to the instructor, Wuxing noticed his form was lacking as even his fake punches were poorly thrown. 

"I don't think I can win against him…" Dongmei commented. "I'm not really good in boxing." 

"Well, even if you want to, I wouldn't let you. This guy is not a nobody," Wuxing explained with a complicated expression and described, "This guy is the world champion in kickboxing. I don't know if I would be able to face him for longer than a minute. I once faced him and he knocked me out in thirty seconds." 

Dongmei blinked a few times in disbelief. "How do they expect anyone to win?" she asked confused. 

"They don't," Wuxing quickly replied. "He is probably here to temper people and show how much they are still lacking." 

As they talked, the round started and the two started exchanging punches. If that could even be called exchanging. The challenger missed all of his hits or rather, the instructor dodged it. Everyone gathered in the queue could see the instructor was just playing around, dancing around the challenger with a smile. 

Only after fifteen seconds did the instructor finally counter-attacked, hitting the challenger right in the liver. 

Thud!

His body fell to the ground like a bag of potatoes, wiggling from pain. 

Wuxing wasn't even surprised about the results, already expecting it but there was one thing that bothered him. 

How come there were so many people waiting if almost no one had the chance to win. With one of the instructors being a world champion, he already figured the other four had similar skills in their field. 

Ah!

Just as he wondered, Dongmei explained and tugged on his sleeve, showing her card to him. "Look! The Challenges Activity updated." 

——————————

(Update: Due to high difficulty of the challenge and limited amount of challengers, we decided to increase the rewards. Good Luck!" 

Difficulty: Impossible

——————————

"No wonder…" Wuxing muttered, finding it reasonable. "If someone loses, they are almost always badly hurt. Who would risk getting injured for one thousand points?" 

"This is our chance. If you can win, we will quickly gain the lead," Dongmei pointed out happily. "I believe you can do it." 

He was flattered she believed in him but he wasn't confident he could win this time while only using his raw skills. If it was related to guns, he wouldn't even think twice before competing. He spent more time shooting than learning martial arts. 

The only method he could use to win would be his ability but he hesitated, seeing how big the crowd was. 

He didn't comment on that and decided for them, pulling her towards another arena, "Let's check the other four first and leave this guy for last. Maybe the rest is easier to beat." 

"Sure," Dongmei nodded and followed him. 

They walked around the crowd without pushing and saw the sword mark, signalling another challenge spot. There were less people gathered around it which allowed them to see the instructor right away. 

Who knew it would be Katherine? 

"You are slow!"

She shouted as she struck the participant in the chest with her wooden katana, pushing him off the ring made of grass. He stumbled and fell, massaging his bottom afterwards.

"Three strikes. You are out," Katherine called out as she aimed her katana at the challenger. "Who is next?" 

She scanned the crowd in the search for the next opponent and everyone seemed to look away as if scared. They were the only ones who didn't turn away and Katherine's gaze finally landed on them. 

She smiled and aimed her sword at him, deciding on his stead, "You. The handsome guy. You will be my next challenger."

Everyone seemed to sigh in relief that they weren't chosen and looked at Wuxing where Katherine was pointing. 

"Me?" Xuefeng pointed at himself, pretending to be shocked. 

"Yes, you. Come here," Katherine nodded with a smile and commented while gazing at the rest, "Do you see any other handsome guys around here? I don't."

Oof…

Katherine roasted everyone without mercy, making Wuxing suck in a deep breath. Even he felt bad for them. 

"Well, I was about to register anyway so it's okay," Wuxing replied and pulled Dongmei by the hand towards the arena. He didn't want to let her stay on her own with a bunch of killers surrounding her. 

She watched him curiously as he joined the challenge via his card and wear the special electric gear passed by the ring assistant. He entered with a wooden katana in hand and faced her, swinging it a few times to check its weight. 

"So how do we do this?"
