章節 22: An Overnight Celebrity!
編輯: Atlas Studios
Hundreds of students surged into the town like a wave and quickly dispersed in search of their prey.
"Is this a town from the previous era?"
Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian walked on the street that was almost submerged in weeds.
There were many abandoned cars from the old era and even a bus that overturned on both sides of the street.
The nearby houses were also covered in green vines.
After so many years, this town once filled with humans gradually became a part of nature again without the interference of humans.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the dense bushes by the road.
"Hmph ~"
Two thick black shadows flew out from the grass with a foul smell and collided with Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian before they could look towards the bushes.
"Be careful!"
Chu Zhou's figure flashed with the slightest movement, dodging a fang in the shape of a scimitar that was attempting to pierce his chest.
At the same time, his eyes turned cold. All the strength in his body gathered in his right hand which turned into a blade. He slashed fiercely at the black shadow's head, creating an extremely sharp scarlet arc.
A ferocious beast head left its body and flew away with a poof.
Fresh blood spurted out from the severed neck like a fountain.
Its body ran for several meters more before it collapsed.
Liu Qianqian also dodged the black shadow nimbly on the other side.
Seeing this, Chu Zhou rushed over and kicked his right foot up like a sickle, drawing a sharp arc.
The black shadow split into two from the middle and fell to the ground.
Only then did Chu Zhou carefully examine the monster corpses on the ground.
These two monsters looked similar to wild boars from the old era.
However, they were three times larger, like a tank.
They were also covered in black and hard iron spikes.
The two fangs were sharp and long, like two sharp scimitars. They were terrifying.
"It's the Iron Thorn Wild Boar from pig-type monsters!"
Chu Zhou recognized the monster.
Speaking of which, he had been eating Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat for almost a month.
Yet this was the first time he had seen how the Iron Thorn Wild Boar actually looked like.
"One catty of Beast Soldier Level Iron Thorn Boar meat costs 1,000 Alliance Dollars… These two Iron Thorn Wild Boars haven't reached the Beast Soldier Level but it shouldn't be a problem to sell them for 500 Alliance Dollars per catty."
"I estimate that each of them weighs about 600 catties."
"In other words, each of them is worth 300,000 Alliance Dollars, and two makes 600,000 Alliance Dollars!"
"This doesn't include the most valuable items of the Iron Thorn Wild Boar— their tusks and their equally expensive fur…"
"F*ck, it's too profitable! No wonder Big Sister Saber said that every true martial artist is rich."
Chu Zhou's heart started beating violently just by calculating how much the two Iron Thorn Wild Boars were roughly worth.
He finally understood why being a martial artist was so profitable.
They could earn the money that ordinary people would not be able to earn even if they worked hard for more than ten years just by killing a low-level monster.
Of course, he also knew that it would not be so simple for him to kill these two Iron Thorn Wild Boars under normal circumstances.
He could only enter this town so leisurely…
Because the monsters in this town had already been cleared by the teachers of the top ten high schools. All the monsters above the Beast Soldier Level had been killed.
Otherwise, the danger level of the Wilderness Town would increase greatly.
He might be instantly killed by a beast soldier level monster if an Advanced Apprentice like him wandered into this place.
However, the martial artist profession had a very profitable path no matter what.
"What a pity. I still have to continue hunting monsters… I can't bring the corpses of these two Iron Thorn Wild Boars with me…"
Chu Zhou looked at the corpses of the two Iron Thorn Wild Boars and felt his heart ache.
"Chu Zhou, we have to split up."
Liu Qianqian looked at the Iron Thorn Wild Boar that was easily cut in half by Chu Zhou and chuckled.
"You're too strong… I would lose the chance to train and sharpen myself even though it's safer to be with you."
"Be careful then." Chu Zhou did not object to Liu Qianqian acting alone.
How could one see a rainbow without weathering the storm?
Only by enduring the wind and rain could one truly grow.
He understood these principles.
"Hehe, Chu Zhou, you've been hiding for so long. It's time to explode! I believe you'll definitely surprise everyone this time."
Liu Qian Qian chuckled and ran away immediately.
"Explode? It's indeed time!"
Chu Zhou smiled. He suddenly saw a fleeting figure in a villa in front of him from the corner of his eye.
He instantly rushed over like an arrow to the front of the villa that was covered in vines and leaped to the second floor of the villa.
He stepped on the balcony on the second floor and leaped up into the third floor.
Swoosh!
Chu Zhou had just entered the third floor of the villa when a gray shadow pounced on him at lightning speed.
Chu Zhou instantly felt a sharp pain in his neck, as if a sharp claw was about to tear his neck apart.
It was too late for him to dodge.
"Attack is the best defense!"
Chu Zhou's hands and feet turned into incomparably sharp sabers that slashed out intersecting arcs in the air instantly.
There was a sizzling sound in the air.
"Meow!"
Blood bloomed in the air accompanied by a shrill and ear-piercing scream.
Swoosh!
A large gray cat the size of a puppy appeared on a metal box in the living room on the third floor.
Two sharp claws that shone with a metallic luster dug deep into the iron box.
One of the claws had an additional line of blood that was slowly seeping out.
"No wonder it's so fast. It's a Gray Shadow Cat, a cat-type monster!"
Chu Zhou looked at the Gray Shadow Cat on the iron box. His eyes narrowed slightly, and became more vigilant.
Cat-type monsters were relatively fast.
Moreover, their actions were silent.
They were natural assassins.
Many fighters were suddenly ambushed and killed when they encountered cat-type monsters in the wilderness.
He might have been decapitated if he had not unleashed his full strength in time.
"However, its speed must have decreased greatly now that I've injured one of its front claws!"
Chu Zhou looked at the Gray Shadow Cat's bloody front paw and smiled.
The Gray Shadow Cat's dark red eyes glared at the human in front of it with the intention to retreat.
However, Chu Zhou rushed over before it could even move.
I'll take your life while you're down!
How could Chu Zhou miss such a good opportunity?
A hand blade tore through the air, turning into a beautiful scarlet arc that slashed across the Gray Shadow Cat's body.
With a swish, the Gray Shadow Cat and the metal box under it were instantly cut open…
Blood flowed all over the ground.
Chu Zhou looked at his communications watch. It read three.
These were his points.
It meant that he had killed three monsters.
"The efficiency of killing monsters like this is too slow… I have to find monsters that like to live in groups!"
Chu Zhou glanced at the Gray Shadow Cat's corpse, turned around, walked to the balcony, and jumped down.
…
"It must be fate!"
Chu Zhou saw eight Iron Thorn Wild Boars gathered in a square covered in weeds not long after he left the villa.
He had encountered a group of Iron Thorn Wild Boars so quickly.
If this wasn't fate, what was?
BANG!
He stomped hard on the ground, shattering it. His entire body turned into an arrow that left the bow as he charged towards the Iron Thorn Wild Boars.
His flying body tore through the air with a series of explosions.
"F*ck, who is he? He's actually so brave… That's eight Iron Thorn Wild Boars. He actually charged straight in?"
There were many students hiding in the buildings near the square.
These students were also targeting this group of Iron Thorn Wild Boars.
However, they did not dare to attack eight Iron Thorn Wild Boars when they were together.
They originally wanted to wait for the eight Iron Thorn Wild Boars to disperse before killing them one by one.
They could not help but be dumbfounded seeing Chu Zhou charge towards the Iron Thorn Wild Boars.
Every Iron Thorn Wild Boar was comparable to an Advanced Apprentice. In fact, their lethality far exceeded that of human Advanced Apprentice due to their powerful physique.
In the eyes of these students, Chu Zhou was courting death by fighting eight of them by himself.
However, these students were struck with awe in no time.
After Chu Zhou rushed into the group of Iron Thorn Wild Boars, his hands and feet seemed to have turned into incomparably sharp knives.
His hands and his legs were knives, and there were knives everywhere.
He seemed to have transformed into a blade demon.
Sharp blades kept slashing out from his body.
In the blink of an eye, all eight Iron Thorn Wild Boars were slaughtered by him. Then, he left elegantly, leaving only his silhouette.
"F*ck… F*ck, who is he? Who is he? He's too terrifying!"
"What the hell? He was using the D-rank combat techniques, Curved Hand Blade and Sharp Blade Kick, right? These two D-rank combat techniques are actually so terrifying?"
"We probably witnessed the birth of a monster today!"
The students lurking near the square were all shocked.
Next…
Chu Zhou encountered all kinds of monsters.
However, he could not be bothered with monsters that acted alone.
He targeted only monsters that were in a group.
He rushed into a group of Two-Tailed Dogs, leaving behind corpses and then left elegantly.
He then charged into a herd of Ironclad Mad Bulls and butchered them.
He charged into yet another group of bloodthirsty ants and started a massacre.
…
He created one shocking scene after another in the town.
Many students were dumbfounded.
…
In fact, the teachers outside the town and the six commissioners from the martial arts university were also dumbfounded when they saw the scoreboard on the screen.
First place, Chu Zhou, 95 points!
Second place, Ling Zhan, 93 points!
Third place, Shi Meng, 84 points!
Fourth place, Li Qingshi, 83 points!
…
That was the top four on the scoreboard!
"Who… Who is this Chu Zhou? His points actually surpass Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi!"
Li Ming, another teacher-in-charge of the First High School, said with a dull gaze.
The eyes of Guo Tao from the First Military University, Yan Qing from the Second Military University, and the other four commissioners from the other Martial Arts Universities were sparkling at this moment.
There was actually someone who surpassed Ling Zhan and the gang.
This… This was a pleasant surprise!
