Chapter 386: Target: Eliminate Lin Qi!
Chapter 386: Target: Eliminate Lin Qi! (Monthly Vote Requested)
The others were secretly astonished after hearing this.
Yu Zhuoran, already an SS-Rank Genius, was incredibly formidable. According to past precedents, most SS-Rank Geniuses would break through to the Fifth Realm around the start of their sophomore year, three or four months into the semester. Yu Zhuoran might even surpass that timeline, potentially reaching the Fifth Realm before October.
Yet Lin Qi was an entirely different case. He had already achieved the Fifth Realm, raising the bar for SS-Rank Geniuses! His progress was unprecedented, far outpacing even Yu Zhuoran.
At this moment, Deputy Principal Xu Wenji calmly asked the group, "Is everything prepared?"
The Dean of the First Academy chuckled. "Everything's arranged. We've pinpointed their locations."
"Furthermore, all nine academy heads and S-Rank Geniuses are under secret protection by experts at higher cultivation stages!"
Dean Liu sighed. "During the Martial Arts General Education Course, we emphasized the dangers of the Vermin God Cult and the Vermin Race, as well as the severe consequences of joining them. Yet why do some still fall for temptation?"
"It's a shame. Many of them were the future pillars of our Xia Kingdom."
Violet Robed Woman, the deputy dean of the Nine Pavilions, sneered, "They were already top-tier geniuses in our Blue Planet, yet still couldn't resist greed."
"These martial artists lacked mental fortitude and firm willpower—better off discarded."
"The Vermin Race has destroyed countless human geniuses. Those who still choose to join deserve no pity. They never consider their families."
The other leaders remained silent, their hatred for the Vermin God Cult evident. Once anyone joined, discovery meant immediate death sentence—no appeals possible.
...
Time passed slowly. Unknowingly, they reached the third day.
In a vast underground base, a tall figure wearing a black mask stared at the projection screen before him.
"The Disaster Beast Hunting Competition has reached its final day. It's time to begin."
"They're all exhausted now. Send them to eliminate the targets: Lin Qi, Huo Wanyang..."
"Understood!"
He looked at a massive, deep-green mechanical insect in his hand—bucket-sized and spherical, its metallic body gleaming coldly. The previous voice had emanated from this device.
Beep!!
The insect's eyes blazed red. A terrifying ripple spread from its body.
Buzz!!
...
At Azure Firmament Base, Fortress 9 Beast Garden Area 2:
"Phew!"
"Hahaha!"
Yu Jing excitedly swung his Silver Long Spear, easily piercing the neck of a Level-3 Disaster Beast—the Grayspine Wolf.
"Aowww~"
The Grayspine Wolf collapsed, blood staining the concrete ground. Yu Jing's speed blazed like starlight, cutting down countless Disaster Beasts in succession.
"Perfect! Die for me!"
Yu Jing roared, slicing through several Disaster Beasts. After taking enhancement elixirs, he clearly felt his physical strength surge and his innate talent strengthen.
He checked the leaderboard—third place in the Azure Firmament Six Colleges, behind only Lin Qi and Jiang Tao.
Spinning his spear, he muttered, "Give me a few more months, and I'll surpass Jiang Tao and Lin Qi!"
Suddenly, a sharp pain exploded from his heart. His complexion changed drastically as he lost control of his body. His Silver Long Spear swung uncontrollably, propelling him toward a distant location.
Wait!
His mind reeled—what was happening? Why couldn't he control himself?
His spiritual power surged inward, but to his horror, countless black specks had infiltrated his body without his notice. They now controlled him completely.
A single thought echoed in his mind: "Kill Lin Qi!!"
The command overwhelmed his consciousness as he sprinted toward Area 2's depths.
Meanwhile, Li Zehao faced the same fate, racing toward the same direction.
"Kill Lin Qi!!"
His consciousness dissolved, or rather, became dominated by this primal urge.
Across Area 2, several figures blurred toward the center—moving faster than ordinary Fifth Realm experts.
...
In the depths of Area 2, near a massive Spatial Gate spanning hundreds of meters:
Boom!!
The Spatial Gate expanded, allowing more Disaster Beasts to pour through, including colossal ones.
Roar!!
A towering figure over ten meters tall emerged with a thunderous roar. But suddenly, the Spatial Gate shrank and sealed shut.
Hundreds of meters away, the forest lay flattened.
Roar!!
Hooo!!
A swarm of Disaster Beasts surrounded a lone figure in the blood-soaked air.
Lin Qi was enveloped in golden radiance, shielding him like armor. Swinging his Obsidian Tiger Slaughter Long Spear, golden light surged along the weapon, creating a golden tempest around him.
He continuously cycled through the Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques and Sky-Shaking Spear Techniques.
Mooo!!
A Bronze Wild Ox—three meters tall, its body like a bronze mountain—charged forward, iron hooves kicking up dust.
Boom!!
The ground shook as dozens of Bronze Wild Oxen attacked in unison.
Lin Qi remained calm, darting like a black lightning bolt. His golden spear pierced the beast's neck.
Puh!!
Blood erupted like a waterfall.
Pum!!
Another golden strike decapitated a second Bronze Wild Ox!
The armored beast's massive body slammed onto the ground.
Within moments, over a dozen Bronze Wild Oxen lay dead.
Roar!!
Suddenly, several figures over five meters tall lunged forward—Clawrend Apes! Their sleek, muscular bodies gleamed with dark red fur. Their scimitar-like claws gleamed coldly, teeth bared, eyes savage.
Fifth-level Disaster Beasts with lightning-fast speed surpassing Fourth Realm foes.
Swoosh!!
One bolted like a supercar on a highway, instantly overtaking others.
Boom!!
Their powerful legs launched them forward like arrows—targeting Lin Qi.
With monstrous strength, the Clawrend Apes' claws could tear through metal effortlessly. Their movements were ferocious, their speed exploding in short bursts.
In a breath, they reached Lin Qi, claws slashing sky-splitting gales.
Lin Qi roared, his golden spear blazing with light as he executed a sweeping upward strike!
