Chapter 194: Unfair Play
Chapter 194: Unfair Play (Requesting Monthly Vote)
A vast jungle stretched out, its ground paved with cement and asphalt covering thousands of square meters. Crumbling buildings were swallowed by vines, while rusted cars, buses, and even abandoned tanks littered the landscape.
Boom!
The cement ground trembled slightly, dust scattering as dead leaves quivered from the vibration.
Under the blazing sun, a breeze stirred, carrying a metallic tang—a blood-scented storm spanning two kilometers.
Haa! Haa!
Over a dozen hulking Ironthorn Boars charged in unison, driven mad by the scent of blood. Their curved, dagger-like tusks gleamed menacingly as they lunged.
A black figure swung a Black Long Spear, moving like lightning. The spear’s razor edge sliced the air, severing an Ironthorn Boar’s neck in a single strike.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Each thrust felled a beast. With a spearpoint piercing their hides, they died instantly, blood gushing across the ground. Corpses piled around Lin Qi, who stood expressionless. In the Trial Tower, he’d killed 50 Ironthorn Boars with just 9.99 Vital Energy. Now, at 38 Vital Energy, they were chickens to him.
Grrr! Grrr!
More Mawfang Hounds burst from the shadows. Lin Qi didn’t flinch. His wrist snapped the spear forward repeatedly, piercing the air.
Shshsh!
Pfft!
Boom!
The hounds collapsed, adding to the carnage. Points surged in his vision—Points+1, Points+1. Lingering blood would attract more Disaster Beasts.
Grrrr!
In moments, over twenty Blazing Tiger Hounds charged at blinding speed—towering, muscular beasts with claws like razors.
"Level-2 Disaster Beasts won’t cut it!" Lin Qi smirked. His senses detected dozens more closing in, including Level-3s.
"Die!"
He lunged, the 800kg Gravity Ring no longer binding him. His Black Long Spear blurred in Split Mountain Spear Techniques, ruthless and efficient. One strike, one kill. Vital Force surged with every strike, accelerating circulation through his body.
Real combat. Real hunting. His spear skills were skyrocketing.
Grr! Grr!
Pfft! Pfft!
Blazing Tiger Hounds fell like wheat as more Disaster Beasts swarmed. The beasts, frenzied by battle, would only calm by killing the source—Lin Qi.
Points soared—Points+10, Points+10, Points+10...

Meanwhile, students across Azure Firmament Six Colleges watched the rankings. Even retreating competitors were gaining points rapidly.
"What? The top 20’s scores spiked!"
"Guan Shan’s over 4,500! Insane!"
"Lin Qi’s pushing 6,000—that’s wild!"
"Our college is catching up to Second Institute!"
The Six Colleges grew uneasy. Hours remained in the Team Tournament. Could others overtake them?
---
Three hours later, Duan Chuchu, partially recovered, checked the leaderboard. First and Second Institutes still led—but Third was now Azure Firmament Six Colleges, overtaking her Second Institute by 300 points.
"Yaoji, rally everyone! We can’t let Six Colleges surpass us!"
"Roger, Master!" her pink drone chirped.
She gritted her teeth, dashing out to hunt.

At the plaza, Huo Wanyang lounged on a black recliner, scrolling his phone. A pretty girl approached.
"Won’t Six Colleges threaten us?"
Huo glanced at the board. "They’re third. We’re ahead by 40k. Impossible to catch up in six hours."
At Nine Pavilions’ zone, their counselor patted Ao Feng, who drank a Restorative Elixir.
"Six Colleges? 20k behind. Done. Focus on Second Institute."
---
In a conference room, Dean Liu chuckled. "Third place? Not bad. Let’s push for second in the final six hours!"
Azure Firmament Six Colleges’ sudden surge forced Second Institute’s top 100 back into hunting. But the gap widened—Lin Qi’s points skyrocketed, overtaking Duan Chuchu. Even Ao Feng, at 7,000, was within 300 points.
---
At the hunting grounds, Lin Qi’s spear pierced the last Blazing Tiger Hound, hurling it into a car. The wreck crumpled like tin.
[Your Body Techniques improved—52% → 55%!]
He checked his Status Panel. Thunderflash Body Arts neared mastery.
The leaderboard showed:
1. Lin Qi – 8,800
2. Huo Wanyang – 7,500
3. Ao Feng – 7,000
"Personal rankings don’t matter. The college crown does. Need 300 Level-3s in four hours."
Aaaaoooo!
Twenty-six Grayspine Wolves encircled him, their green eyes gleaming.
"Twenty-six on one? Let’s dance."
Lin Qi’s spear flashed. The storm began.
