82: Chapter 82 Making a fortune in silence!

Crimson Wasteland, on the wasteland leading to the core of the Central Domain.

An unprecedented life-and-death race was currently unfolding.

"Rumble!"

Lei Dingtian was like a berserk Thunder God, taking the lead.

His entire body was wreathed in blinding purple-black lightning, and two thousand Thunder dependents transformed into a purple dagger, fiercely stabbing into the wave of Yao Beasts blocking the path ahead.

"Get lost! Don't block this Young Lord's path!"

Lei Dingtian roared repeatedly, fiercely waving the thunder battle spear in his hand.

Ahead, a second-tier beast group composed of hundreds of Armored Berserk Bulls was split open by the all-over-the-sky thunder, wailing continuously.

If it were usually, Lei Dingtian would definitely stop, slaughter these Armored Berserk Bulls until not a single suit of armor remained, and heavily earn a batch of points.

But now, he didn't even have the time to spare another look.

"Do not get bogged down in battle! Just use lightning to paralyze them and charge through!"

Because within Lei Dingtian's Divine Thought perception, less than five kilometers to the left, that pair of annoying military district twins was stubbornly biting onto his progress like a tarsal maggot!

"Brother, there is a large patch of 'Crimson Blood Ganoderma' ahead! That is a top-grade Materials for refining second-tier physical stamina potions!"

On the other side, Lian Yun looked at the Spiritual Plant flashing with alluring red light in the valley below, unable to help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Forget about those broken weeds! Can't you tell the sesame from the watermelon?"

Lian Zhan's eyes were bloodred, and the battle axe in his hand slashed out a terrifying flame tens of meters long, hacking a second-tier Medium Grade Yao Beast blocking the road ahead so that it flew backwards, its sternum collapsed.

"The colorful treasure light of the central altar is the real big prize! As long as we get that bizarre item, the first place in this grand competition will be ours! Advance at full speed, whoever dares to stop their steps will be dealt with according to military Law!"

Driven by the huge temptation, the three Prodigies completely fell into a frantic mode of hurrying on their journey.

Encounter a powerful Yao Beast group? Directly blast open a bloody path with the most berserk area-of-effect Spell, heavily injure and repel them, absolutely never wasting time to land a finishing blow.

Encounter rare Ore veins and Spiritual Plants? Don't even look at them, just step right over them.

In their view, time was life, time was that peerless supreme treasure sufficient to change destiny!

However.

These three Prodigies would never dream that just when they were casting aside all caution and frantically clearing the path ahead like bulldozers,

less than twenty kilometers behind them, there was a team frantically looting the fruits of victory they left behind in an infuriatingly comfortable posture.

"Splat!"

A heavy astral battle blade swung down mercilessly, precisely decapitating an Armored Berserk Bull that had collapsed on the ground, twitching all over and foaming at the mouth.

[Ding! Slain a second-tier Low Grade Yao Beast, obtained 50 points!]

Commander Qing Yi skillfully shook off the bloodstains on the blade, not using a single fraction of his own strength.

It was too easy.

This Armored Berserk Bull had previously been hacked into heavy injuries by Lei Dingtian's purple lightning, its entire body in a state of deep paralysis, unable to even stand up.

All the Azure Dragon Guards needed to do was walk up and send these half-dead Yao Beasts to the Western Paradise like cutting melons and vegetables.

One slash for each little kid, getting points until their hands went soft.

"Main God, in the valley ahead, a large patch of intact Crimson Blood Ganoderma was discovered!"

High Priest Xi leaned on his bone staff, reporting to Lin Yunfei with a beaming smile.

"Oh? Crimson Blood Ganoderma?"

Lin Yunfei's mouth revealed a trace of a pleasant arc, "Move all of these into my Divine Kingdom."

"As you command, my Main God."

Xi slightly bowed, then waved the bone staff.

The earth surged accordingly. Xi, who was proficient in Formation and earth element control, directly cut off the entire patch of land growing the Crimson Blood Ganoderma, packaged it, and sent it into the Calamity Divine Kingdom.

Those Yao Beasts crippled and injured by the three Prodigies all turned into ghosts under the blades of the Azure Dragon Guards.

[Ding! Slain a first-tier Peak Yao Beast, obtained 10 points!]

[Ding! Slain a second-tier Medium Grade Yao Beast, obtained 150 points!]

[Ding! Rare associated Ore 'Purple Thunder Crystal' discovered, automatically converted...]

The crisp prompt tone of the System echoed continuously in Lin Yunfei's mind like a wonderful symphony.

Lei Dingtian and the twins, these three "laborers", bore the maximum pressure in front, consuming the most physical strength and Divine Kingdom foundation to clear the path.

As for him, he led the fully-manned and fully-conditioned Azure Dragon Guards, comfortably following behind to "drink soup".

From entering the grand competition until now, apart from consuming a bit of physical strength, the Azure Dragon Guards didn't even have a single person with minor injuries. They were like an unwearying harvesting machine, sweeping all resources and points along the way into their pockets.

At this moment, in the outside world, Hall Number One.

The many conglomerate higher-ups who were originally still fiercely discussing whether the twins or Lei Dingtian could arrive at the central altar first gradually quieted down at this moment.

Not knowing who it was, someone suddenly pointed at the prodigy ranking in the center of the grand hall and let out an incredulous exclamation:

"Holy shit! You guys look quickly at the tenth place on the leaderboard! That kid named Lin Yunfei, what is going on with his points?!"

Swish!!!

Hundreds of gazes across the audience instantly converged in unison onto the bottom of the rankings.

Only to see at the tenth place position of the prodigy ranking, the three large characters [Lin Yunfei] were frantically jumping upwards at an extremely bizarre and extremely steady speed!

Sixty thousand!

Seventy thousand!

Eighty thousand!

In a short span of over half an hour, Lin Yunfei's points were like taking a rocket, not only steadily rushing into the top ten, but even launching a charge towards the top five!

"This is impossible!"

Instructor Li Gang violently stood up from his seat, his eyeballs almost popping out, and screamed out: "This kid's dependents didn't even engage in any large-scale combat at all! His marching speed is as slow as a turtle, how could he possibly obtain so many points?!"

"Has the System malfunctioned?!"

Facing Instructor Li Gang's impotent fury, the staff members next to him immediately carried out a verification, and subsequently gave an answer that left everyone utterly silent.

"The System is operating normally. Candidate Lin Yunfei's source of points is legal and valid. He has been following behind the marching routes of Lei Dingtian and the twins, carrying out finishing blows on the Yao Beasts left behind with heavy injuries by the two Prodigies."

The entire audience was dead silent.

Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Lin Yunfei leisurely following behind the Prodigies on the fringe light screen, as well as the heavy armor warriors under his command who were happily "picking up kills".

What the fuck, this is even possible?!

Others were risking their lives on the front line, fighting until their brains were almost coming out, yet you fucking followed behind to pick up leaks?!

Not only picking up leaks, even the herbs and Ores that people didn't have time to dig up were hollowed out three feet into the ground!

"Pfft!!! Hahaha!"

Instructor Chen Zheng, who had remained silent all along, finally couldn't help bursting out into a hearty laugh.

He turned his head, looking at Instructor Li Gang whose face was alternating between blue and white, and unmercifully taunted:

"Teacher Li, didn't you say my student is a turtle hiding its head?"

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look! No matter how well Lei Dingtian and the twins can fight, so what? When coming out to mix in the world, one still has to talk about intelligence!"

"What is called a Prodigy? This fucking is a Prodigy!"

Instructor Chen Zheng's words left Instructor Li Gang completely speechless, his face holding back until it turned into a liver color, yet he couldn't refute even half a word.

Because the facts were placed right before their eyes.

Under the condition of having zero battle losses, Lin Yunfei's points had already broken through the one-hundred-thousand mark, firmly slashing into the fourth place of the prodigy ranking!

From the top three Prodigies ahead, there was only a step away!

At this moment, the gazes of many conglomerate higher-ups within the grand hall towards Lin Yunfei began to change.

If what they valued at the very beginning was the all-crushing violence of the twins and Lei Dingtian, then now, what they saw from Lin Yunfei was a chilling forbearance and calculation.

Inside the Crimson Wasteland, Lin Yunfei, who was completely unaware that the outside world had already blown up because of him, was still advancing unhurriedly.

As they penetrated deeper and deeper into the Central Domain, the surrounding environment once again underwent obvious changes.

The originally dark red sky now faintly exuded an oppressive dark golden color. Although the Blood Demon Qi permeating the air had grown lighter, it had added a palpitating berserk coercion.

"Main God, the Yao Beast corpses ahead have decreased, Lei Dingtian and their advance speed has noticeably dropped."

Yushi hovered in midair, slightly frowning: "The spatial gravity here has increased by a full three times compared to the outer perimeter, and moreover, I sense an extremely ancient and dangerous Qi."

"Mhm, I have also perceived it."

Lin Yunfei put down the teacup in his hand, slowly stood up, and his profound gaze looked towards a primeval forest ahead that was shrouded in dark red poisonous miasma year-round.

"To be able to make those three arrogant fellows slow down their steps, it seems this Central Domain core is indeed not simple."

Right at this moment.

Within Lin Yunfei's Divine Thought radar, a trace of extremely faint, yet peculiar energy fluctuation that was out of tune with the surrounding environment was suddenly captured.

This fluctuation was extremely covert; if Lin Yunfei didn't possess the absolute sharpness towards Law that the Calamity Divine Kingdom had, he wouldn't have been able to perceive it at all.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Yunfei violently raised his hand, signaling the entire army to stop advancing.

He closed his eyes, carefully perceiving the source of that fluctuation.

A moment later, he abruptly opened his eyes, locking his gaze onto a secretive below cliff on the right side.

"It's not a Yao Beast. This Qi is noble, berserk, yet carries a trace of immaturity?"

Lin Yunfei licked his lips, a thick flash of interest crossing his eyes.

"Commander Qing Yi, bring a squad over to take a look. Be careful, immediately withdraw if the situation isn't right."

"Yes!"

Commander Qing Yi acknowledged the order and led ten elite Azure Dragon Guards, cautiously sneaking towards below the broken cliff...
