54: Ahead of the curve

The reason he took an interest in Li Changkong was solely because of the Black Flame by Li Changkong's side, which clearly indicated high HP and defense.

If it could be kept for his own use, it would definitely be of great benefit.

But upon hearing those words, Li Changkong also understood that the other party merely wanted him to be a decoy.

"Not interested."

After dropping another sentence, he prepared to leave directly.

When that Heavy Armor Warrior saw this, a hint of anger appeared on his face.

He spoke fiercely, "Kid, I'm giving you a chance. Don't be ungrateful."

From the other party's words, one could hear a hint of threat.

In the Heavy Armor Warrior's opinion, such a lone individual dared to disobey his orders.

From Li Changkong's attire, it was clear he was from the Fire Institute.

Precisely because of this, the Heavy Armor Warrior looked down on Li Changkong even more.

Although they were all from the same school, the Fire Institute was equivalent to the bottom of the food chain within the school.

There weren't many people to begin with, and they were all outcasts of the school.

Therefore, many students from other institutes would bully students from the Fire Institute.

As he spoke, one of his hands was already resting on his longsword.

It was as if if Li Changkong took another step forward, he would draw his longsword without hesitation.

Seeing the other party looking like he wanted to make a move, Li Changkong looked at Black Flame and raised a hand towards those students.

Black Flame had already been eyeing these people menacingly, and after receiving Li Changkong's command, it roared and charged towards the other side.

"If you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

Seeing Li Changkong actually take the initiative to attack, the Heavy Armor Warrior sneered.

The next second, he drew the longsword from his waist and slashed directly at Li Changkong.

The longsword was extremely wide, shimmering with blue light under the sun, and it was also covered with a layer of skill light.

The longsword instantly struck Black Flame's body, but what happened next made the Heavy Armor Warrior's expression freeze.

He had originally thought that under this sword, Black Flame, even if not dead, should at least be half-crippled.

But under this sword, Black Flame only lost a bit of HP, appearing to have no problems at all.

"What?"

The Heavy Armor Warrior's pupils constricted, but then Black Flame struck him with a claw.

A terrifying force swept over, and even though the Heavy Armor Warrior activated his defensive skill, he was still sent flying by Black Flame's claw.

While still in mid-air, a mouthful of Black Flame consumed the Heavy Armor Warrior.

The Heavy Armor Warrior, who had been full of life moments before, instantly turned into a white light.

"I originally thought he was so arrogant because he had some strength, but I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable."

Li Changkong pouted, feeling a bit bored.

The opposing team had a total of five people; now that one main combatant was dead, four remained.

"If you can honestly hand over your points, then I can spare your lives."

Li Changkong glanced at the people in front of him and said coldly.

Although these few people in front of him had not attacked him, they were all clearly subservient to the Heavy Armor Warrior.

Li Changkong could deduce that if the Heavy Armor Warrior had ordered them to attack just now, they would have certainly done so immediately.

Li Changkong was never soft-hearted towards enemies, but he also didn't want to kill indiscriminately.

"Impossible, these are the points we accumulated with great difficulty. How could we give them all to you?"

A mage shouted loudly, clearly unwilling to surrender.

Before his words had even finished, a Fire Vein True Dragon had already struck him.

Facing this sudden attack, the mage had no way to dodge.

The next second, his body was covered in flames, and he likewise turned into a ball of white light and flew away.

The remaining three people were filled with terror after seeing this scene.

Their two strongest combatants were already gone, so they naturally couldn't muster any thoughts of resistance.

"We surrender, all points are yours."

As they spoke, the remaining three people had already taken out their point tokens.

Immediately after, they handed all the points from their point tokens to Li Changkong.

Adding the points from the two dead people just now, Li Changkong actually gained almost two thousand points this time.

If he were to kill monsters, it would take at least an hour to obtain two thousand points.

And in just a few minutes, he obtained two thousand points, which was indeed terrifying.

In addition, the two people who died just now also dropped some equipment.

As for this equipment, he naturally put it in his pocket, preparing to keep it for himself.

Although they were only blue-grade equipment, their quality looked very good, and they would probably sell for a good price.

Li Changkong wasn't particularly short on money right now, but no one would dislike having too much money.

"Get lost, don't let me see you again, or the only path left for you is death."

After glancing at the people in front of him, he turned and left.

Only after Li Changkong's back disappeared into the depths of the forest did everyone finally wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Their hearts were exceptionally aggrieved. They had finally encountered a lone individual and prepared to rob him, but who knew they would end up being robbed in return.

This also caused the points they had accumulated with great difficulty just now to instantly vanish.

"Look, everyone, this guy's point value actually increased by two thousand at once! It's now over six thousand, far ahead!"

Another gasp of surprise came from the crowd outside.

"This guy is really strange; he's been at the top of the leaderboard for so long."

"Could it be that this guy has some cheating methods? But that's impossible."

Others were equally surprised to see this scene.

However, because the large screen in front of them randomly captured students.

So people had no way of knowing what Li Changkong was doing right now.

After killing that small team, Li Changkong resumed killing monsters.

As his points grew, Li Changkong still prepared to return to the volcano's location.

After bypassing this forest, he could reach the other side of the volcano.

"Help! Help!"

A cry for help came, and upon hearing the sound, Li Changkong felt it was somewhat familiar.

Soon, he realized that the cry seemed to be coming from Hou Fatty.

Although he had only known Hou Fatty for two hours, Li Changkong had a decent impression of Hou Fatty.

So upon hearing this cry for help, he quickly followed the sound.

Upon getting closer, he found several men wearing Gold Institute uniformsWai surrounding Hou Fatty.

If Li Changkong remembered correctly, when he had just entered the Secret Realm, he seemed to still be looking for teammates.

And now, in this state, it was clearly a case of being bullied.
