Chapter 335: 100,000 Ability Points! Sakuragi Rin Squad!
Qin Zheng and his group had actually arrived before Xu Jingming made his move.
Qin Zheng had even secretly rejoiced that his timing was perfect, allowing him to step in at the critical moment and save Xu Jingming.
But before he could act, in the blink of an eye, Xu Jingming alone had slaughtered all four of them.
"Ah, this..."
"Two mid-tier Rank 5 and two lower-tier Rank 5, all instantly killed?"
"Oh heavens, I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"..."
Lin Hui and Lu Heng stared in stunned disbelief.
Even Xia Lan at the very back had her small mouth slightly agape, her expression faintly dazed.
She too was a Rank 4 upper-tier ability user, yet even going all out she could only barely hold her own against a Rank 5 lower-tier ability user.
She had absolutely no way to kill a Rank 5 lower-tier ability user, let alone complete a crushing, overwhelming kill like that!
"Su Chen's strength definitely isn't some lone wolf!" Lin Hui couldn't help exclaiming in awe.
One had to remember, he himself came from the Prodigy Training Camp, and as a Rank 5 lower-tier—
At most he could only cross-tier kill a Rank 5 mid-tier ability user.
Yet the other party, a whole tier below him, could instantly kill a Rank 5 mid-tier ability user—that alone was enough to show that terrifying strength.
This was absolutely not something a lone wolf from some unorthodox background could pull off!
"A genius! This is definitely a genius!
Not only can he pass the Prodigy Training Camp's assessment, his talent would place him among the very top tier even in our training camp!"
Unlike Lin Hui and the others' shock, what Qin Zheng felt was more excitement!
A Rank 6 lower-tier mentor was really not some big shot in Lei Ting Martial Hall's Prodigy Training Camp.
Some trainees had even already reached Rank 6!
Therefore, the ways they obtained resources were extremely limited, and many of those ways carried extremely high danger!
And among these, the simplest method was recommending geniuses to the training camp!
If this person successfully passed the assessment and entered the training camp, then as the recommender, he too would receive a reward.
If this person subsequently entered the top tier of the training camp's trainees in terms of strength, the resources he could obtain would be even greater!
And Su Chen was the one who gave him hope of obtaining more resources.
In fact, it wasn't just Qin Zheng—even another mentor, Wang Hong, from the Violent Bear Martial Hall, was also lighting up at the sight.
It was true that Violent Bear Martial Hall had mostly reinforcement-type ability users, but that didn't mean they didn't want elemental-type ability users.
In fact, recommending an elemental-type ability user to Violent Bear Martial Hall would yield an even greater reward!
Qin Zheng naturally noticed Wang Hong's intentions, so he interrupted and shouted:
"Friend Su, long time no see, can we talk more about the camp assessment?"
However, the moment he finished speaking—
That tall figure on the opposite side seemed to have run into a ghost, swiftly packed up the spoils, and turned into a phantom-like blur as he rushed away.
This action instantly made the enthusiastically eager Qin Zheng's face stiffen, and he said rather glumly:
"It's just participating in an assessment, isn't it? Is it that hard to accept?"
As a Rank 6 wind-elemental ability user, if he wanted to chase, he definitely could catch up.
But from the other's actions, it was clear the other party had no intention of further communication; even if he caught up, it would be useless.
"Forget it, even if I miss this chance, we'll definitely run into each other later at the main base, and then I can have a proper talk with him."
Qin Zheng always felt that the other party seemed to have some misunderstanding about Lei Ting Martial Hall's Prodigy Training Camp.
The reason behind this had to be sorted out by him personally.
Behind Qin Zheng, Xia Lan, who was standing beside Lin Hui, had her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on Xu Jingming's departing back.
Just now she had once again sensed that peculiar spatial fluctuation; this time she was very certain it wasn't an illusion.
"Could Su Chen have some spatial-type treasure on him?" Xia Lan secretly guessed in her heart.
As for that group from Lei Ting Martial Hall, Xu Jingming naturally didn't want to listen to their chatter.
After rushing out a full several kilometers, he casually found a cave and ducked into it.
Then he began sorting through the spoils he had just obtained.
First were the weapons—all four were Grade A equipment; combined, they should sell for over a hundred million Daxia coins.
Next were the spatial rings—four spatial rings.
Two of them had a capacity of 3 cubic meters, and two had a capacity of 1 cubic meter.
Inside were placed quite a few things like pills, backup equipment, combat technique manuals, survival supplies, and the like.
The combined value of the four people's belongings was conservatively estimated at over 500 million Daxia coins.
Besides that, there were also roughly over 400 assessment crystals.
"Sure enough, crime does pay—killing ability users makes money way too fast..."
After sighing that, Xu Jingming transferred everything into his own spatial ring.
As for the four spatial rings that couldn't be stored inside, he kept them on his person.
"Spoils sorted, time to keep moving." Letting out a long breath, Xu Jingming stood up from the ground.
"Eva, help me scan for nearby fierce beasts."
"Sure, but shouldn't we be collecting assessment crystals? Why kill so many fierce beasts?"
"It's a secret, got it? I'll tell you when there's a chance later."
"Grade S, you really know how to keep me hanging..."
Under Eva's guidance, Xu Jingming quickly fell into a rhythm of seeking out fierce beasts and slaying them.
Days passed one after another. Xu Jingming was immersed in slaughter, and the empty ability points on his system panel rose rapidly!
10,000!
20,000!
30,000!
50,000!
70,000!
One month later, the ability points on Xu Jingming's system panel had reached a full 100,000!
【Name】: Xu Jingming

"The ability points are enough to advance......"
Xu Jingming stood tall in the jungle, a long spear in hand.
Bright light filtered down through the gaps between the leaves.
On his S-rank battle suit, already stained a dark red by fresh blood, it formed patches of light.
At the feet of his alloy combat boots, three or four fifth-tier fierce beasts lay dead.
Blood flowed freely, dyeing the earthen-brown ground a fresh crimson.
On the massive fierce beast corpses, residual reddish-golden Lei Guang and arcs of electricity still flickered and jumped.
The entire surrounding area was filled with an aroma like roasted meat.
"But I didn't expect that Spear Art and Fist Art,"
"advancing from Master-level proficiency to Grandmaster-level proficiency would also require 100,000 ability points!"
Spear Art provided an extremely powerful boost to Xu Jingming's combat strength.
But the 100,000 advancement points meant he would not choose to allocate points for now.
"Same old rules: find a place to advance first, then continue hunting fierce beasts."
After harvesting the fierce beast materials from the corpses, Xu Jingming quickly left the area.
As he was racing through the jungle, a sudden fierce beast roar came from somewhere, and he instinctively glanced in that direction.
He saw, at a distance of roughly four to five hundred meters, a giant bear in a berserk state wildly swinging its claws, felling trees in swathes around it.
Around the giant bear, an ability-user squad was surrounding and attacking it.
There was also a slender figure in an all-black battle suit standing in the distance, seemingly watching the battle.
It was none other than the S-rank from Sakura Country he had seen before entering the relic space — Sakuragi Rin.
