When Xiang Ning’s strength grew to tier five, both the beasts and the Karan tribesmen were stunned. The students initially felt a gap but now, it was a canyon between them and Xiang Ning.
Although Wu Rui understood that Xiang Ning had a breathing technique similar to his inherited Wu family’s technique, he didn’t realize it could be as impressive as elevating its user to the next tier.
Charotis’ eyes widened with shock. He didn’t read much, so maybe he just didn’t have the words to describe Xiang Ning. All he could say was... Is he even human?!
Li Zihao’s team was used to it by now. Even if Xiang Ning suddenly became a tier six, they would just go, “Oh,” without further comment. They were numb to it all, and seriously doubtful that Xiang Ning was the same age as them.
“Hehe, Team leader, we’re still not the most embarrassing one.”
“Hehe, look at them, they look like newbies who haven’t seen the world.”
“Wait, look at the crest. That looks like Toro City
. Hmm, if I recall correctly, it's Charotis and his gang.”
“Oh? Karan tribesmen? This is interesting.”
“Wait, quickly take a picture! This is a historical moment, it’s a rare opportunity for those bastards to have this look on their faces!” Li Zihao’s team was from the north and they, too, had met Charotis’ team before. To be honest, no one liked the way the Karan tribesmen carried themselves. If they hadn’t been backed by powerful martial artists, they would have already been beaten to death.
“You’ve taken your pictures? Alright, it’s showtime.” Li Zihao took just three seconds to capture the look on Charotis’ face, then hurried out of the truck. When he looked up, Xiang Ning had already begun sprinting toward the beasts.
The Alpha Crimson Fang gave a long howl and the remaining Crimson Fangs forcefully suppressed their fear and tore at Xiang Ning, baring their teeth. They were the minions of the Alpha, they could not disobey even if they wanted to, unless they were as powerful as the Alpha itself.
But alas, their attacks proved useless. The Alpha had used them as cannon fodder. Xiang Ning had no time for a game of hide-and-seek, shooting out at lightning speed using Shadowmist Ghost Step, leaving afterimages where he used to be.
“Triple Slash!” The 1.7-meter-long Devourer chopped and hacked like a knife chopping chives. In barely twenty seconds, the pack of Crimson Fangs had been annihilated. It was a massacre indeed. There’s no need to further describe the expressions of the rest, since their expressions remained the same.

“Hehe, how would you all like to die?” Xiang Ning coldly chuckled. Even though he hadn’t activated Taunt, his mocking expression and tone were enough to drive the ill-tempered beasts mad.
Fury Points +999


The Demonpede released clouds of poison gas that quickly enveloped Xiang Ning, who realized what was going on when he saw his slowly-increasing Experience Points. “Releasing poison gas now, are we?” The poison in his teammates’ bodies was definitely from the Demonpede. Thus, it would be the first to die.
Xiang Ning activated Shadowmist Ghost Step at Peak Mastery Level and blurred like a ghost as he charged at lightning speed. The Shadowmist Ghost Step was an instinctive move for him by now; he didn’t have to deliberately think of the steps. Every casual step was enough to unleash its power.
Charotis’ complexion changed again when he saw how effortless it looked, but he didn’t have time to say a word before Xiang Ning had crossed forty-two meters to arrive before the Demonpede.
He drove one foot into the ground and leapt.
“Charging Toss!”
The Devourer was held horizontally in front of him, slicing out into the Demonpede’s torso. It slid more than twenty meters back.
The Demonpede was made of thirty-two segments, and Xiang Ning was only a tenth of its height. Yet he could cause such a massive being to slide twenty meters. The upward stab of the Charging Toss immediately broke six of its segments, from within which splattered a yellowy green liquid.
Fury Points +868
But that wasn’t the end. The Devourer was triggered, practically drooling over the nutritious tier four, eight-star Demonpede. It was only ranked below Pale Moons and Grimclaws!
Over the next ten seconds, the Demonpede received the treatment it deserved, sustaining thirty-nine attacks from Xiang Ning. Every single slash brought with it a fountain of blood.
The number of Fury Points he earned started at the maximum but slowly dwindled to zero.
Looking at the Demonpede, whom he had fought tooth and nail, almost killing himself in the process, Charotis didn’t dare imagine his future. He recalled what he had said to Fang Rou; it all seemed so childish.
After the other two tier four, two-star beasts witnessed the slaughter of the Demonpede, they wanted to fight back but Xiang Ning’s flying blades instantly killed them.
It was a pity that none of the tier four beasts had produced a beast core. Xiang Ning was resentful, but if anyone knew what he was thinking, they would probably shoot him. What the hell? Even a team made up of tier four martial artists might not get ten beast cores if they killed three Beast Generals a day for a year!
Xiang Ning had obtained three beast cores over such a short time span, but that was due to the number of powerful beasts he encountered. As for the Demonpede, it was still ranked below Grimclaws, after all.
In just two minutes, Xiang Ning had finished killing the beast horde that’d almost killed two teams.
“Haha, I still have a lot to go to catch up with you.” Wu Rui saw Xiang Ning approaching and held out his fist. Xiang Ning gave him a fist bump.
“Thanks.”
“Hehe.” Wu Rui scratched his head. It was true that one’s opponent knew them the best. Xiang Ning had always treated Wu Rui as his worthy opponent, one that’d never disappointed him.
He knew that, obviously, without Wu Rui’s protection, Li Zimo, Fang Rou, and Liu Ruoxue wouldn’t have remained unscathed. There was nothing to be said. He knew that even if he hadn’t appeared, Wu Rui would have risked his life to kill the Demonpede. And that referred to Wu Rui forcefully elevating his strength to kill the Demonpede. That in itself was risky.
Wu Rui turned and followed Xiang Ning. He looked at the nervous Charotis, then saw that Xiang Ning was only focused on his team and smirked. He understood what Xiang Ning was thinking. Yes, they both knew each other very well.
“I’m sorry for being late, everyone. Thank you for your efforts, let’s go back.”

Charotis, who wasn’t far away, was surprised. But wasn’t it a good thing that everything was fine?
But... was that truly the case?
