Chapter 192: Popping Champagne at Halftime (Seeking monthly votes)

August 12th, the third day of the Calamity Beast Hunting Competition, 8 AM!

Calamity Beast Park, deep in Area 2.

In a ruin of broken walls, the broken asphalt road, in a lookout tower building covered by green vines.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and rotting corpses.

A tall and sturdy figure wearing a red combat suit, with dark red blood clots condensed in many areas on his clothes, and the sharp red halberd was also stained red with blood.

"Hoo!!"

Huo Wanyang's hair was messy, but his momentum was majestic, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, like a beast on the earth.

"Awoo~"

A gray, massive figure like an armored car driving at high speed leaped into the air, and a fishy smell accompanied by a fierce wind raged on Huo Wanyang's face.

"Bang!!"

He grinned, showing a cruel smile. The red halberd in his hand swung suddenly, and he swung the halberd, slashing down suddenly like Mount Tai.

"Pfft~"

The sharp halberd tip cut through the neck of the Gray-Spined Giant Wolf. In an instant, blood sprayed out like a fountain.

"Bang!"

The head and body slammed onto the earth at the same time, kicking up large clouds of bloody dust.

Huo Wanyang wiped the blood on his face indifferently and sat straight on the corpse of the Gray-Spined Giant Wolf.

"Boring, Level 3 calamity beasts are too weak for me, at the peak of the Second Realm."

"It's a pity there are no Level 4 calamity beasts in the Calamity Beast Park for me to test my strength."

He pressed the yellow button on his watch.

Two leaderboards floated in front of his eyes.

On the academy point total list, the Cangqiong First Academy he belonged to led the second-place Cangqiong Ninth Academy by over 30,000 points.

It led the third-place Cangqiong Second Academy by a gap of nearly 50,000 points.

Looking at his individual point list again, Huo Wanyang's points were also far ahead of everyone else.

"Beep!"

"Master, received messages from three students, all indicating that Ao Feng, the Chief of the Cangqiong Ninth Academy, has chosen to withdraw from the competition."

The red metal ball floating behind him suddenly made a sound.

Huo Wanyang stood up and said: "Since Ao Feng has chosen to give up, there is no need for me to stay here."

Thinking of this, he also pressed the red rescue button on his smart watch and chose to withdraw from the Calamity Beast Hunting Competition early.

……

At this time, on a small rescue aircraft, Ao Feng, whose silver-white combat suit was stained red, wiped the blood on his combat suit with a clean towel.

Looking at the two leaderboards in front of him, he shook his head: As expected, he couldn't escape the fate of being second.

"Maintaining it like this is fine. Even if the Second Academy where Duan Chuchu is tries desperately to catch up, it's impossible to surpass our Ninth Academy.

I have to prepare for tomorrow's individual competition early."

At the same time, some students from the First and Ninth Academies also chose to withdraw.

……

In a spacious white safe house, filled with first-aid medicine bottles, compressed food, functional drinks, and simple iron bunk beds.

Duan Chuchu lay on the bunk, gasping for air. Her arms were sore, having fought crazily for two days.

Her body couldn't hold on anymore.

"It's a pity I can't take treatment potions, otherwise I could hunt more calamity beasts."

She looked at the leaderboard and shook her head: "Now Huo Wanyang and Ao Feng have withdrawn."

"I still can't withdraw. I have to kill a few more calamity beasts and earn more money."

……

Large conference room in the Chixiao Building.

"Ao Feng and Huo Wanyang chose to withdraw." A leader suddenly spoke.

The sound entered the ears of others.

The Vice Dean of the Cangqiong Ninth Academy, a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a purple special long dress, stood up and smiled:

"First place can't be rushed anyway, so we can only stably occupy second place."

"The top three rankings haven't changed, it's completely over."

"The gap is tens of thousands of points. Everyone has been fighting for two days, and there are no treatment potions, only compressed food and functional drinks. It's basically impossible to recover enough stamina."

"Wanting to catch up in the last few hours is basically impossible."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Vice Dean of the First Academy, a scholarly middle-aged man, also stood up.

"That's right, the team competition is over for me."

"I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After speaking, he turned and left, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

After hearing this, others also left one after another. Finally, only two or three people remained in the entire conference room. "Old Liu, aren't you leaving?" asked a middle-aged man with a square face and a sturdy build.

Dean Liu, with big earlobes, shook his head calmly and said: "I want to see the end."

At the same time, he watched Lin Qi in the live broadcast alone, secretly thinking: "There are nine hours left, Lin Qi, you should also make a move!"

……

Area 2, the crowd of the Cangqiong Sixth Academy who were resting, took out their stored smart phones and received signals one after another.

"Plan starts!!!"

"Although I am also very tired now, for the sake of the Sixth Academy's ranking, no matter what, I have to persist until the end."

Zhou Xiyin, wearing a white combat suit, secretly thought in her heart.

After saying that, she held a long sword, walked out of the safe house, and began to hunt calamity beasts with all her strength.

……

!

"I came out of Beijiang, no matter what, I can persist until the end."

"People from Beijiang are never weaker than others."

Leaning against the broken wall, Guanshan, whose body was stained red with blood, also stood up slowly. Although he was only 1.85 meters tall, he exuded a powerful aura.

……

"Finally starting?"

"Hoo~"

Sitting at the entrance of the safe house, Jiang Tao, wearing a silver combat suit, swallowed the compressed food in his mouth and took a sip of functional drink.

Feeling his stamina constantly recovering.

"My stamina is still abundant now. Our Sixth Academy, this time, can definitely rush into the top three."

Thinking this way, he brandished his battle sword and rushed toward the jungle in the distance.

……

Deep in Area 2, in a white safe house.

Lin Qi, wearing a black combat suit, practiced the source energy technique on the spot.

Source energy particles entered his body, repairing his fatigue.

This was a method he discovered to quickly recover stamina, but others might not be able to quickly remove distractions from their hearts like him.

"Master, a message!" Little Chan, projected in the air, suddenly reminded him and projected a green screen.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi opened his eyes, feeling that his stamina had recovered quite a bit, and golden light flickered in his eyes.

Looking at the information projected in front of him, he smiled.

He stood up slowly and took off the two pairs of gravity rings, weighing a total of 800 kilograms, from his body.

"Bang!"

The gravity rings slammed onto the ground, making a loud noise, and Lin Qi also felt himself instantly lighter.

He looked at another leaderboard.

【1st Place: Huo Wanyang, Points: 6501】

【2nd Place: Ao Feng, Points: 6021】

【3rd Place: Duan Chuchu, Points: 5896】

【4th Place: Lin Qi, Points: 5800】

【5th Place: Li Lei, Points: 5768】

……

Lin Qi looked at the ranking. This was the freshman individual point ranking, but Teacher Lu Wei could ask students from each academy for specific points to make a point leaderboard.

"Li Lei is chasing really tight. He doesn't think he can surpass me, does he?"

Lin Qi looked at Huo Wanyang's points again and secretly thought:

"I should also go all out. The first goal is to exceed Huo Wanyang's 6500 points."

He looked at the individual point leaderboard of the Sixth Academy again. The points of Guanshan and others behind him also suddenly started to rise rapidly.

"Everyone has started to exert their strength."

"I can't fall behind either!"

He came to the door and looked at the final total point leaderboard. Their Cangqiong Sixth Academy was in fourth place.

It was a full 50,000 points away from the first-place Cangqiong First Academy.

"More than 50,000 points, it's not impossible to surpass."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi's expression became serious, and his figure moved suddenly.

He turned into a lightning bolt and disappeared from the spot, rushing into the jungle.
