Chapter 335: 100,000 Energy Points! Sakuragi Rin Team!

Qin Zheng and the others arrived before Xu Jingming acted.

In fact, Qin Zheng had secretly rejoiced at arriving just in time to rescue Xu Jingming at the critical moment.

Yet before he could move, in the blink of an eye, Xu Jingming alone had slain all four.

"Ah, this..."

"Two mid-tier fifth-rankers, two low-tier fifth-rankers—all wiped out in an instant?"

"Good heavens, did I just see that right?"

"..."

Lin Hui and Lu Heng stared in stunned silence.

Even Xia Lan at the back had her lips slightly parted, her expression momentarily frozen.

She herself was a high-tier fourth-rank energy user, yet even with all her strength, she could barely match a low-tier fifth-rank energy user.

She couldn't even kill a low-tier fifth-rank energy user, let alone achieve the overwhelming slaughter that the other had just performed!

"Su Chen's strength is definitely not that of a lone wolf!" Lin Hui couldn't help exclaiming.

After all, he himself was a low-tier fifth-ranker from the Talent Training Camp.

He could at most kill a mid-tier fifth-rank energy user by crossing a rank.

But this man, one rank lower than him, had slaughtered a mid-tier fifth-rank energy user instantly—clear proof of his terrifying power.

No lone wolf from the wild could possibly achieve this!

"A genius! This is absolutely a genius!

He not only passed the Talent Training Camp's assessment, but his talent ranks among the absolute top tier even within our camp!"

Unlike Lin Hui and the others' shock, Qin Zheng was filled with excitement.

A low-tier sixth-rank instructor in the Thunder Martial Hall's Talent Training Camp was hardly a big deal.

Some trainees had already reached sixth rank themselves.

Thus, their access to resources was extremely limited, and many methods carried extreme danger.

Among these, the simplest method was to recommend a genius to the camp.

If the person passed the assessment and entered the camp, the recommender would also receive a reward.

If that person later joined the camp's top-tier trainees, the recommender would gain even more resources!

And Su Chen had given him hope of acquiring far greater resources.

In fact, not only Qin Zheng, but also Wang Hong, another instructor from the Furious Bear Martial Hall, was now staring with gleaming eyes.

While the Furious Bear Martial Hall primarily trained enhancement-type energy users, that didn't mean they didn't want elemental users.

In fact, recommending an elemental energy user to the Furious Bear Martial Hall yielded even greater rewards!

Qin Zheng naturally noticed Wang Hong's intentions and quickly called out:

"Young Master Su, long time no see—could we talk again about the camp entrance assessment?"

But the moment he finished speaking,

the tall figure across from him recoiled as if encountering a ghost, swiftly gathered his spoils, and vanished like a phantom.

This move instantly froze Qin Zheng's enthusiastic expression, leaving him somewhat frustrated:

"It's just an assessment—how could it be that unbearable?"

As a sixth-rank elemental wind energy user, he could certainly catch up.

But from his actions, the other had clearly signaled he didn't wish to communicate further—chasing him would be pointless.

"Forget it. Even if I miss him this time, I'll surely run into him again at the main base—then I'll talk to him properly."

Qin Zheng had a strong feeling the other held some misunderstanding about the Thunder Martial Hall's Talent Training Camp.

He had to personally uncover the reason.

Behind Qin Zheng, Xia Lan, standing beside Lin Hui, fixed her beautiful eyes tightly on Xu Jingming's retreating back.

Just now, she had sensed that peculiar spatial fluctuation again—and this time, she was certain it wasn't an illusion.

"Could Su Chen be carrying some kind of spatial treasure?" Xia Lan wondered inwardly.

Xu Jingming, of course, had no desire to listen to the Thunder Martial Hall group's chatter.

After sprinting several kilometers, he finally found a random cave and slipped inside.

Then he began sorting through the spoils he had just acquired.

First, weapons—all four were A-grade equipment; combined, they could fetch over a hundred million Daya currency.

Second, space rings—four of them.

Two had a capacity of three cubic meters, two had a capacity of one cubic meter.

Inside were numerous items: pills, spare equipment, combat technique scrolls, survival supplies, and more.

Altogether, the four men's belongings were conservatively valued at over five hundred million Daya currency.

In addition, there were roughly four hundred assessment crystals.

"Indeed, killing people and setting fires brings gold belts—killing energy users earns money too fast..."

With a sigh, Xu Jingming transferred everything into his own space ring.

The four space rings he couldn't fit inside were kept snugly against his body.

"Spoils organized. Time to move on." He exhaled deeply and rose from the ground.

"Eva, scan for nearby beasts."

"Sure, but aren't we supposed to collect assessment crystals? Why kill so many beasts?"

"You know what secrecy is? I'll tell you later when the chance comes."

"S-rank, you really know how to tease me..."

Under Eva's guidance, Xu Jingming quickly resumed hunting and killing beasts.

Days passed, and Xu Jingming immersed himself in slaughter; the empty energy points on his system panel surged rapidly!

10, 00!

20, 00!

30, 00!

50, 00!

70, 00!

A month later, Xu Jingming's system panel showed over 100, 00 energy points!

【Name】: Xu Jingming

"Energy points are enough for advancement..."

Xu Jingming stood tall in the forest, gripping his long spear.

Bright light filtered through gaps in the leaves, casting speckles upon his blood-stained S-grade battle suit.

At his alloy battle boots' feet, three or four fifth-rank beasts lay dead.

Blood flowed freely, staining the brown earth crimson.

On the massive carcasses, residual golden-red lightning and arcs still flickered and danced.

The entire area reeked of roasted meat.

"Didn't expect that spear and fist techniques...

advancing from Master to Grandmaster skill level would require 100, 00 energy points!"

Spear technique greatly enhanced Xu Jingming's combat power.

But the 100, 00-point cost meant he wouldn't be upgrading for now.

"Same as always—find a place to advance first, then resume beast hunting."

After harvesting the beasts' materials, Xu Jingming swiftly left the area.

As he sprinted through the forest, a sudden beast roar reached him—he instinctively glanced over.

There, about four to five hundred meters away, a rampaging giant bear wildly swung its paws, felling trees in waves.

Around the giant bear, a team of energy users was attacking it.

And standing at a distance, clad in pure black battle armor, was a slender figure—watching.

It was Sakura's S-rank, Sakuragi Rin, whom Xu Jingming had seen before entering the relic space.

It was the S-rank from Sakura Country, Sakuragi Rin, whom Xu Jingming had seen before entering the relic space.
