Chapter 289: Unshakable First Place (Please Vote Monthly)
Pfft~
Lin Qi tore through the forest, moving at a speed that turned him into a black lightning bolt as he raced toward Zone 2.
The Gravity Rings on his body had all been removed. This time, he had no intention of hiding his strength.
His goal was simple: hunt as many Disaster Beasts as possible within three days.
Level-1 Disaster Beasts no longer interested him, but some beasts simply couldn't tell the difference.
A pack of streamlined, tawny-furred Mawfang Hounds prowled through the underbrush, searching for prey. Lin Qi's figure entered their sightline.
"Roar~"
With guttural howls, the Hounds launched a surprise attack from their hiding spots, bursting into motion from different directions. Their razor-sharp claws sliced the air, capable of tearing human flesh in an instant.
Faced with the ambush, Lin Qi smirked with disdain. His Black Long Spear carved elegant arcs through the air as he moved.
The gleaming spear tip shimmered coldly.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
In an instant, three crimson arcs appeared across the Hounds' necks. A violent surge of Vital Force erupted, instantly severing their throats.
Scalding crimson blood sprayed into the air, splattering onto the ground.
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Qi drove the vibrating spear tip through the air again. The cold blade precisely targeted another Mawfang Hound's neck, transforming the spear into a phantom that shot forth Vital Force to pierce through flesh.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Within three seconds, all six Mawfang Hounds lay dead.
Points+6
Lin Qi didn't even bother checking—he knew they were all dead. His figure vanished once more.
Moments later, an Obsidian Horn Boar lunged at him. He moved like a tiger among sheep, except the sheep mistakenly thought he was an easy target.
They would only end up being devoured.
Points+10, Points+10, Points+10, Points+10...
His Points surged rapidly, placing him far ahead of everyone else on Azure Firmament Six Colleges' rankings.
"Brother Qi's already over 1000 points? And it hasn't even been an hour!"
"It's still climbing! This slaughter rate's insane!"
"Level-2 Disaster Beasts are as insignificant to him as ordinary wheat stalks now."
Students from Azure Firmament Six Colleges watched Lin Qi's Points with a mix of shock and excitement.
...
At the Tenth Academy's Crimson Vault Building, the vice-deans of all nine academies gathered in the grand conference hall. A massive projection screen hung before them.
[Disaster Beast Hunting Competition Points Leaderboard]
1st: Azure Firmament First Institute
2nd: Azure Firmament Six Colleges
3rd: Azure Firmament Nine Courtyards
...
"This competition's intense! The First and Sixth Institutes keep trading first place."
"Who'd have thought the Sixth Institute's overall strength would rival the First's?"
"I heard Jiang Tao from the Sixth has officially become an S-Rank Genius. That makes two S-Rank Geniuses for them!"
One leader sighed enviously, glancing toward Dean Liu in the corner. The Sixth Institute had not only produced Lin Qi, a top-tier prodigy, but also maintained strong overall talent. Their total Points had even matched the First Institute's.
"By the way, who's currently leading the Points Leaderboard?" Wu Yueze asked curiously.
Deputy Principal Xu Wenji projected nine screens displaying each academy's individual leaderboards. All eyes locked onto the First and Sixth Institute's screens.
"Huo Wanyang's already at 1200 Points! So fast!"
"Lin Qi's at 1390 Points? How is Huo Wanyang falling behind? Didn't he awaken a Special Ability?"
Someone asked in confusion.
The vice-dean of Nine Pavilions, Lady Violet, spoke up:
"Special Ability activation dramatically boosts combat power but drains physical energy significantly. Plus, hunting efficiency matters here. Since he's not a Psychoflux Wielder who can control flying blades for ultra-efficient kills, hunting lower-leveled beasts might actually be less effective for him than regular martial artists."
Dean Wu Yueze smiled confidently, "This is only the beginning! Huo Wanyang will definitely take first place eventually!"
Meanwhile, Dean Liu in the corner kept his eyes fixed on the live broadcast.
"Lin Qi went all-out the moment he entered the Disaster Beast Park, removing his Gravity Rings completely. Seems like he's really short on cash this time!"
...
The Disaster Beast Hunting Competition officially began, with fierce competition raging across all nine academies.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Deep within Zone 2, a ruined area tangled with dense jungle reeked of rotting smells and thick blood. Bloodstains covered the ground.
Aowu~
Fifteen deep-gray-furred Grayspine Wolves, muscular as small hills, let out piercing howls. Their iron-like muscles tensed as they attacked.
A flash of cold light cut through the air as the spear moved like a dragon, tearing through resistance.
The lead wolf could only watch helplessly as the spear pierced its neck. Terrifying Vital Force instantly shredded its internal organs, snuffing out life.
Boom!
The massive body crashed heavily onto the ground, blood spilling as its limbs twitched in death throes.
The remaining wolves, maddened by blood scent, surrounded Lin Qi. Claws slammed into the earth, bodies launched through air, and gaping mouths lunged for his flesh.
Facing the encirclement, Lin Qi became a flickering lightning bolt, casually evading the wolves like a stroll in the garden.
Whoosh~
Letting the violent winds whip his face, he swung his Black Long Spear in wide arcs—《Sky-Shaking Spear Techniques》activated. Vital Force condensed along the weapon as it slashed through the air, becoming a blur.
The spear pierced the Grayspine Wolf's tough hide. Earth-Shaking Force erupted.
Pfft!
A clear blood hole formed in the wolf's neck as life vanished instantly. The massive corpse slammed down.
Points+100
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Lin Qi didn't stop moving, his blood-slicked Black Long Spear carving crimson paths.
One minute later.
Boom!
The final Grayspine Wolf collapsed. Silence fell, broken only by the heavy stench of blood.
Points+1500
Lin Qi surveyed the battlefield. Dozens of Disaster Beast corpses blanketed the ground—Ironthorn Boars, Mawfang Hounds, Obsidian Horn Boars, Blazing Tiger Hounds, Boulder Serpents, Grayspine Wolves, Ironblood Scaled Boars...
From Level-1 to Level-3 beasts!
"For me now, Level-3 beasts like Grayspine Wolves and Ironblood Scaled Boars are nothing. Killing them feels as easy as slaughtering pigs."
Shaking blood off his spear, Lin Qi sat heavily on an Ironblood Scaled Boar corpse. Pressing the yellow button on his wristwatch, two holographic screens materialized.
[Academy Points Leaderboard (Sixth Institute)]
1st: Lin Qi - 35,600 Points
2nd: Jiang Tao - 19,056 Points
