"Su, if you continue to just stand there and stare, we're all going to be squashed to death by this snake! Help us!"
Wang Dong was trapped under the python's body and could not breathe.
It was all thanks to his plumpness and skin elasticity. If it were anyone else, they would have long been flattened like a pancake.
"What's the hurry? You're not dead yet. Endure it for a while longer," replied Su Hei.
As he spoke, Su Hei leaned against a broken tree root and sat down.
He kept an eye on Wang Dong, Li Hua, Chu Chen, and the others who fought back aggressively while looking at the system screen.
In the data given by the system, his strength was slowly changing.
Fifty thousand one hundred…
Fifty thousand two hundred…
Fifty thousand three hundred…
Su Hei was very pleased. However, it was not because of his increasing strength, which increased at a snail's pace, but because of the others.
He did not join the fight against the snake, yet there were changes in his strength. That could only mean that his classmates had not reached their limits and were also getting stronger while in combat.
Chu Chen used himself as bait to attract the python's attention.
As for Li Hua, she led her classmates and attacked the python's body barehanded.
However, their attacks did not cause any serious damage to the snake.
Although everyone had already awakened their talent and become martial artists, they had not undergone proper training. Hence, they did not have the knowledge of cultivation techniques and secret manuals which could greatly boost their combat power.
It was very difficult for them to inflict fatal damage on the snake.
"Oh my goodness, Su, if you don't make a move soon, I'm really going to die!" yelled Wang Dong.
Having been trapped under the snake's massive body for some time, Wang Dong's face had already turned purple, but Su Hei still did not make any move.
The speed at which his strength changed had decreased drastically. Despite that, his strength was still increasing.
Thus, he was not able to move yet.
In the distance, Jiang Jinyu did not make a move either, but her gaze was fixed on the enormous python's body.
There was a red glow in her eyes that was scanning the snake continuously. That was the core talent of the Assassin talent, which was to lock onto the subject's weakness.
The next second, Jiang Jinyu made her move.
Swoosh!
She ran toward her friends with astonishing speed, like an arrow released from its bow.
She was so fast that only her shadow could be seen.
The python hissed loudly.
It continued to chase Chu Chen with its head held high.
It did not notice that a black shadow had appeared below its head.
Jiang Jinyu stood still and raised her head to stare at a spot on the snake's body. That was where its heart was, which was the python's Achilles heel.
She leaped three meters up into the air. Following that, Jiang Jinyu placed her left hand on top of her right hand, which was holding onto a dagger tightly.
A cold glint flashed across her eyes as she ruthlessly stabbed the snake.
Hiss!
An ear-splitting hiss filled the air.
The enormous black python shook its head furiously, sending Jiang Jinyu flying like a cannonball.
If one hit the ground at such speed, even if that martial artist survived the fall, he would definitely suffer severe injuries.
Jiang Jinyu was aware of that. She closed her eyes in resignation, giving up on trying to save herself.
At this moment, a figure flashed by quickly.
This person was so fast that he could brush past the leaves without leaving a mark.
Jiang Jinyu felt that she had fallen into a warm embrace. When she opened her eyes, she realized that it was Su Hei.
"All of you have reached your limits. Let me handle the rest," said Su Hei.
After placing Jiang Jinyu on the ground, Su Hei charged toward the giant black python.
Without any cultivation techniques or secret manuals, Su Hei could only fight with his bare hands.
Fortunately, he was very powerful.
He was so powerful that he could kill this hideous beast instantly.
"All of you, back off!" Su Hei yelled.
With that, he leaped into the air.
He clenched his fists so hard that they made cracking sounds. The power in his waist gathered in his fists through every nerve in his body.
Everyone retreated. Only Wang Dong was left under the python's stomach, trapped and unable to move.
Su Hei aimed at the black python's head and unleashed a move called "Rising Dragon Tyrant".
"Die!" he bellowed.
This was Su Hei's first time fighting a beast, so he did not know how much damage his move could cause.
Having put all of his power into that punch, the massive snake that was dozens of meters tall was sent flying up into the sky!
It exploded in midair, turning into a bloody mist.
Fifty-two thousand one hundred…
Su Hei, who had landed on the ground, realized that his strength had changed because of the punch just now.
"My strength changes after I exert my full strength. Is this considered a stimulating breakthrough?" he thought.
Su Hei smiled and looked up.
Only now did he realize that everyone, including Wang Dong, Chu Chen, and Li Hua was staring at him in shock. Even Jiang Jinyu, who was always composed, had a stupefied expression now.
"Su, more than ten of us attacked the beast at the same time, but we were defeated by it. You actually managed to kill it with one move?" Wang Dong said.
Wang Dong could not believe the disparity in combat power between them and Su Hei.
Jiang Jinyu, who had snapped back to her senses, had an indifferent look again. "What's there to doubt? Don't forget that President Su has awakened four elemental powers," she remarked.
With Jiang Jinyu's reminder, everyone's shock disappeared.
"I haven't witnessed Su Hei's prowess enough yet. I guess we'll get used to it after witnessing his prowess a few more times." Wang Dong shook his head helplessly.
-
In the army tent.
In front of the huge screen.
10 to 20 warriors from the City Defense Team, including Xun Chengwu and Qin Feng, all looked at the screen in shock. What they had seen stirred up waves in their hearts.
"That is a mid-grade Savage black python, but he managed to kill it with one punch. This doesn't seem like something a human can do." Qin Feng smiled bitterly.
"I couldn't tell just now, but I now know that this kid isn't trying to give up. A man of true talent never shows off!" Xun Chengwu's mouth fell open in surprise.
Xun Chengwu could also instantly kill a mid-grade Savage beast, but Su Hei was merely a martial artist with newly awakened talents. Furthermore, he was unarmed and did not learn any cultivation techniques yet.
Xun Chengwu felt that if he was in Su Hei's place, he would not be able to do it.
"Call the commander. I want to tell him that such a talented person has appeared in the Quilton base!" he ordered.
-
At the edge of the Forest of Death.
Cao Guangning was in the forest by himself, and he was looking about everywhere.
He was delighted when he saw an incomparably large twisted tree.
He quickly walked over and lowered his voice.
"Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu?" he whispered.
After a while, there was a rustling in the forest.
A voice rang out. "Nobody knows you're here, right?"
Cao Guangning said casually, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu. I told the rest that I have to attend to a call of nature before leaving the team. No one followed me. You can come out now!"
Only after hearing that did Xu Weicheng peek out. He looked around his surroundings vigilantly. After confirming that it was safe, he stepped out.
"It's never wrong to be more vigilant," he explained.
There was a casual tone to his voice.
Cao Guangning nodded and then asked, "There's something that I'm curious about."
"I want to kill Su Hei so that I can further my position in the City Defense Team. Why are you helping me, Mr. Xu? Su Hei has already left the martial arts academy, so there's no point in you doing this."
At the mention of this, Xu Weicheng's face suddenly turned ferocious.
"Because of that kid, Class D has now become an elite class. In the martial arts academy, there are only a few elderly losers and I left who are the teachers of normal classes."
"It's impossible for the academy to remove the normal classes. In other words, as long as I don't successfully nurture a martial artist who's even more talented than that fellow, I will forever only be a teacher of a normal class."
"As long as I don't get rid of that kid, I will never be able to have my day!"
Only then did Cao Guangning realize that because of Su Hei, Class D had become an elite class.
The lousiest class was now lording it over them! He could not tolerate this!
A similar ferocious expression appeared on his face, but it was even worse than Xu Weicheng's.
"He's just an intermediate-level martial artist. I'm also an intermediate-level martial artist! Coupled with the things you gave me, I'll be able to kill him one on one!"
"But he has many people with him. I'm afraid that if I make a move, I'll be discovered by the others," said Cao Guangning.
Xu Weicheng frowned when he heard that.
But soon, he said with a vicious expression, "Then, kill them all!"
Cao Guangning was stunned. Xu Weicheng smiled coldly. "Just do it like this…"
