Chapter 441: Kanda Wilderness Zone! 150,000 Ability Points!

The Kanda Wilderness Zone covers a full 300,000 square kilometers, and ferocious beasts abound within it.

To prevent the beasts from rioting and invading, even the supply bases were built quite far from the wilderness zone.

Thus, after regrouping, Xu Jingming and Leng Yuexi, the two of them,

charged on for roughly another two-plus minutes before officially stepping into the bounds of the Kanda Wilderness Zone.

"Roar—"

"Awoo—"

"..."

Dense roars of ferocious beasts rang in his ears; what appeared within Xu Jingming's line of sight was an extremely primal forest region.

Weeds grew thick on the ground, and the shrubs were as tall as half a person.

Crackle-crackle—

Golden Doushen Shenlei coiled around Xu Jingming's body, and Leng Yuexi beside him also took out her weapon.

It was a crimson-red chain-sword, and after channeling fire-type abilities into it,

it immediately, like a long serpent, coiled around Leng Yuexi's body with extreme agility.

"This is... the Crimson Practice Sword?"

Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised. "Sister Xi, aren't you an Elementalist?"

Judging from the metallic luster radiating from the Crimson Practice Sword, it was absolutely forged from an S-class or higher alloy!

And that is a hardness no elemental weapon could ever achieve.

"Who told you I was an Elementalist?"

Leng Yuexi countered with a light laugh. "I practice a body-tempering combat art; I walk the close-combat warrior path."

As she spoke,

the Crimson Practice Sword coiling around her spat firelight, radiating scorching energy waves.

"So that's how it is."

Xu Jingming realized, then paused and added with a smile:

"By the way, Sister Xi, how about I handle all the ferocious beasts we run into from here on?

If we really run into one I can't deal with, then you step in."

This had to be agreed upon in advance; otherwise, if Leng Yuexi killed them all, he wouldn't be able to earn any ability points at all.

"Someone's willing to do the grunt work—naturally I'm happy to stay idle."

Although she didn't know why Xu Jingming made such a request, Leng Yuexi still smiled and nodded.

After entering the wilderness zone, Xu Jingming, led by Leng Yuexi, set out toward that destination.

Basically all the ferocious beasts they encountered along the way were taken down by Xu Jingming.

And the Kanda Wilderness Zone truly lived up to its name as a large wilderness zone—fourth-tier ferocious beasts were everywhere, and fifth-tier ferocious beasts were also numerous.

Just like that, Xu Jingming slaughtered his way forward, and the ability points on his system panel surged at one point!

August 11, ten days later, Kanda Wilderness Zone, a plain.

A pack of ferocious beasts that looked like rhinoceroses but had several sharp horns growing on their heads was searching for prey.

Between their sharp horns, blue arcs of electricity flickered and leapt.

Green-Horned Lei Xi!

This was a pack of ferocious beasts that commanded the lightning element; the number of horns on their heads represented their tier.

And every single Green-Horned Lei Xi in this pack had at least five horns on their heads, without exception.

The Green-Horned Lei Xi leading the pack, which was somewhat larger in build, had a staggering six horns!

This meant it was a powerful sixth-tier ferocious beast.

Its horns were not the usual green color, but black!

The Lei Ting leaping between its six horns was likewise not blue, but a deep purple!

This indicated that this was a mutated Green-Horned Lei Xi!

Crackle-crackle—

Purple Lei Ting flickered, and under the lead of this mutated Green-Horned Lei Xi,

this pack of ferocious beasts was scouring the plain for prey with an almost unbridled air!

"Roar—"

However, just at that moment, the leading mutated Green-Horned Lei Xi suddenly stopped in its tracks.

A pair of crimson eyes swept restlessly around its surroundings.

As a sixth-tier ferocious beast, its intelligence was no different from an adult human's!

More critically, it also possessed extremely keen senses, able to sense danger in advance!

For instance, right now, it sensed something slightly unusual in the air.

But when its gaze swept around, it found nothing out of the ordinary.

An illusion?

Just as this mutated Green-Horned Lei Xi was about to continue leading its pack in search of prey,

a muffled rumble of thunder sounded in the sky.

Immediately after, with a sharp hiss, a thick bolt of golden Dou Tian Shen Lei as wide as a water barrel came crashing down from the sky!

Crackle-crackle—

Purple Lei Ting flickered, and the mutated Green-Horned Lei Xi, relying on its astonishing reflexes, actually condensed a Lei Ting defense shield above its own head!

Rumble rumble rumble~~~

Golden lightning struck down, and in an instant, it shattered the purple lightning defense barrier!

Wild golden lightning spread out, instantly reducing all beasts except the mutated blue-horned Lei Xi to charred corpses!

Even the mutated blue-horned Lei Xi itself was plunged into a near-death state.

In its final moments, it could only see two humans rapidly approaching from afar.

Humans! Damn humans!

Zzzzzz~~

The purple electric arcs flickered atop its horn, desperately trying to launch an attack.

But its internal organs had long been destroyed by the golden lightning; now it forcibly activated its innate ability.

It drained the last shred of its life, completely losing its breath.

These two humans were naturally Xu Jingming and Leng Yuexi, who had ventured deep into the Kanda Wilderness Zone.

Due to the recent kills, system notification sounds kept echoing in Xu Jingming's mind.

'Ding~, killed one Level Five Lower-tier Blue-horned Lei Xi, Energy Points +410.'

'Ding~, killed one Level Five Mid-tier Blue-horned Lei Xi, Energy Points +500.'

'Ding~, killed one Level Six Lower-tier Mutated Blue-horned Lei Xi, Energy Points +720.'

'......'

This herd of Blue-horned Lei Xi had seven members; after eliminating them all at once, Xu Jingming gained nearly 3,500 Energy Points!

'Shenlan.'

With a thought, the system interface instantly appeared in Xu Jingming's mind.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Level Five Lower-tier

【Ability】: Dou Tian Shenlei (SS)

【Physique】: 9354 Qi (+)

【Spirit】: 9837 He (+)

【Skills】: Spear Technique (Master+), Fist Technique (Master+), Lei Shen Jiang Shi (SSS, Beginner+), Mind Net (SS, Beginner+), Lei Guan Mo Sha Qiang (S+, Beginner+), Lei Shen Zhi (S+, Beginner+)......

【Body Cultivation】: Lei Bu Mie Shen (S, Sixth Stage+)

【Spirit Refinement】: Shenhe Guan Xiang Fa (SS, Second Stage+)

【Energy Points】:

Since entering the Kanda Wilderness Zone, his system panel's Energy Points had been growing at a terrifying rate of nearly ten thousand per day.

Adding the newly acquired Energy Points, the total on the panel finally surpassed 150,000!

'With this many Energy Points, why hasn't a plus sign appeared after the S in my Body Cultivation skill level?'

Xu Jingming frowned slightly.

During this time in the wilderness, he studied combat and body cultivation manuals every night.

So far, apart from the single SS-level body cultivation technique, all others were nearly fully understood.

Yet the system panel still hadn't shown the upgrade option for combat skills, as he had expected.

He didn't know if it was because his Energy Points were insufficient, or his knowledge accumulation was inadequate.

Or perhaps Shenlan simply didn't have this function at all?

'Tonight, I'll fully comprehend that SS-level body cultivation technique.'

If the system panel still doesn't upgrade Lei Bu Mie Shen, then it means this function doesn't exist.'

'I'll need to find another solution as soon as possible...'

Xu Jingming silently thought to himself.

'Tsk tsk, one blast of Dou Tian Shen Lei—'

Even this mutated Level Six Blue-horned Lei Xi was instantly slain. Brother Jingming, you're quite impressive.'

As he pondered, Leng Yuexi beside him smiled over, her face glowing.
