165: Chapter 165 was filled.

"Boom——!"

"Boom——!"

Amid the roaring sounds of the [flying bird drone], two [golden apple]s swept from the flank into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Amid the terrifying source energy explosions, several [Pioneers] met their end on the spot.

"Bang!"

The terrifying gunshot of the [inheritor sv-98] rang out, instantly targeting the magic-side [Pioneer] who reacted the fastest on the scene, waving a magic wand to release large patches of vines in an attempt to restrict the movements of Chu Hong and the others.

The golden pendant on her chest shattered completely.

"Ah!"

Xiao Mo was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Why did this damn CS, just like last time, raise his gun and shoot at her the very first moment?!

Am I, a little girl less than 1.6 meters tall, really some kind of terrifying formidable enemy in your eyes that needs to be eliminated at the very first moment?!

Before she even had time to feel heartache, a [Saint Pendant] of golden quality, worth at least 450k source energy points on the market, was thus ruined by the opponent's single shot.

Xiao Mo, who was originally still waving her magic wand, instantly transformed into a battle-shy marmot.

She scurried behind the surrounding cargo containers or boxes.

"Hiss!"

The sound of escaping air rang out.

The moment Wang Suming's great shield skill deterred the crowd in front of him, Chu Hong's figure had already slaughtered his way into the crowd.

The [inheritor sv-98] in his hand had inexplicably disappeared at some point.

Replaced by it.

Were a pistol packed with an equally noble and elegant vibe, the [biochemical suppression 93r], as well as the [Saber - Source Blade].

"Flowers, come!"

With a low shout.

Source energy instantly surged from Chu Hong's body, even though the source energy points to upgrade and strengthen his ability had not yet been gathered enough.

The [Slaughter Overlord] ability still provided Chu Hong with a considerable boost in one-to-many situations.

"Iron wall, rise!"

Iron Fist, a member of Yuwen Luo's team, was relatively far from the coverage range of Wang Suming's skill, and was the first to recover from the intense exhaustion and dizziness.

The moment he recovered, he immediately let out a low shout.

Raising a dark gray rock wall in front of him.

"Captain! Come quickly!"

Yuwen Luo had just been hit by a [golden apple], and the huge explosion blew a tear into his golden-quality armor. At this moment, he was hiding behind a cargo container, gulping down a bottle of recovery potion.

Hearing Iron Fist's call, he immediately climbed to his feet, intending to rush toward the other party.

But the moment he rushed out from behind the container.

A gunshot rang out.

"Bang!"

A glistening bullet, carrying a wave of scorching heat, swept past almost brushing against the tip of his nose.

The distinct scent of gunpowder and burning sensation coming from the tip of his nose frightened him into instinctively shrinking back to his original position.

Terrified, he poked his head out to look, only to witness a nearly one-sided massacre.

He saw Chu Hong holding the captain of that team who had arrived at the [Transport Line Station]—the [Pioneer] who had claimed during his self-introduction earlier to be at the third stage of the Qiyuan Realm.

At this moment, in Chu Hong's hands, he was just like a little chick.

Being lifted up with a single hand.

"Crack!"

The clear sound of a neck being snapped made Yuwen Luo's pupils constrict once more in fright.

On the other side, the shield-bearing fat man was equally terrifying. The dense bone spikes protruding vertically on the surface of his shield were dripping with fresh blood at this moment, making that ferocious [ghoul iron wall] look like a demonic weapon from hell.

"Grappling hook hit!"

Every time that guy shouted those words, Yuwen Luo would see a [Pioneer] being dragged by him like a little doll in a claw machine, hauled toward that great shield that had already smashed to death who knows how many people.

"Ah!!!"

Perhaps the aura of death activated this unlucky fellow's potential.

The moment he was hit by the grappling hook, he abruptly pulled out the dagger at his waist and slashed fiercely at the towing rope of the grapple.

The grappling hook snapped instantly.

And Wang Suming was immediately sent stumbling by this sudden reaction.

Yuwen Luo's eyes lit up.

So this thing could be dealt with like this! If so, that shield-wielding dead fatty would practically have one of his arms broken!

However.

Before he could excitedly make a move to "beat a dog in the water".

In a split second, another explosive gunshot rang out.

"Crack!"

The guy who still had a grappling rope attached to his chest had just crawled up from the ground when a pitch-black bloody hole instantly burst open between his eyebrows.

Yuwen Luo: "!!!"

His pupils constricted fiercely, and his body, which was just about to rush out from behind the cover, seemed as if an immobilization spell had been cast on it at that very instant.

In his mind was the sniper rifle that had flashed and disappeared from Chu Hong's body just now.

One second?

No, even shorter than a second!

The moment he fired, that gun vanished instantly.

After a long while.

When the gunshots and explosions gradually faded away.

Yuwen Luo and the others, who were almost frightened to numbness, suddenly heard a sound coming from the factory roof above their heads.

Raising their heads.

Their souls were almost scared out of their bodies.

They saw.

The figures of Chu Hong and Wang Suming had somehow appeared right above their heads.

The two of them were covered in blood at this moment, especially Wang Suming's shield, which was completely wrapped in a layer of plasma. Standing right above them, the bone spikes on the shield were still dripping with fresh blood drop by drop.

Yuwen Luo's face was pale.

Raising his head to look up at Chu Hong's condescending, disdainful gaze looking down, his body trembled uncontrollably.

"You, how could you possibly be this strong... Seventh stage of the Qiyuan Realm, shouldn't you be a rookie [Pioneer] just like us?"

Yuwen Luo's voice was trembling.

And behind him.

Several team members had long since lost any thoughts of fighting.

Too strong!

Especially Chu Hong!

Yuwen Luo was most terrified of the opponent's unimaginably horrific marksmanship.

Just now, whenever he wanted to come out from behind his hiding cover to launch a sneak attack or counterattack, the moment he poked his head out—even if Chu Hong was facing away from him—a bullet would instantly sweep past his cheek in a terrifying fashion.

"I am a member of the Yuwen family..."

When [Boss Mu Xue] was safely brought to [Huaxi Wharf] by Song Jiaojiao, she saw seven or eight people who had been disarmed and stripped of their equipment, neatly shrunk into a row.

As for the others...

[Boss Mu Xue] took a deep breath, and when she looked at Chu Hong, her gaze was like looking at a monster.

Or rather... a secret realm Boss!

And when she heard Yuwen Luo state his family background with grief, indignation, and heartbreak at this moment, her gaze couldn't help but turn to Chu Hong.

But Chu Hong acted as if he had long known what she wanted to say.

"Charged according to elimination scores, five points for a red-quality collectible, no charge if there are fewer than five..."

[Boss Mu Xue]'s eye twitched.

She glanced at Yuwen Luo's disheveled team.

At this moment, the little girl in this team was still hiding behind Yuwen Luo and sobbing softly, making people feel quite pitiful.

Hearing this, Yuwen Luo's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at [Boss Mu Xue].

"I'll pay! Take all the equipment and loot on our bodies, just don't kill us. After the assessment ends, I'll compensate you double, personally delivering two red-quality collectibles to your door!"

[Boss Mu Xue] gave the latter a deep look and nodded.

"Let the five of them evacuate, and I'll pay you the red-quality collectibles as agreed."

To this.

Chu Hong naturally had no objections.

Soon, after Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming finished organizing the spoils for [Boss Mu Xue], the total value of this round's harvest reached 10.72 million source energy points.

In front of the extraction point.

Chu Hong smiled as he watched [Boss Mu Xue]—who carried a backpack, wore the highest-valued golden armor of this round temporarily borrowed by Young Master Yuwen Luo, held a magic wand and a spear in each of her hands, and had her ivory-white long legs trembling and shaking from the weight—step into the range of the extraction point.

"Rest assured, after the assessment ends, I will pay your fees at the very first moment..." A crystal-clear sweat droplet still hung on [Boss Mu Xue]'s chin.

This feeling of easily evacuating with tens of millions without having to lift a finger.

Left her practically dazed and infatuated.

If she could only do this a few more times...

...

Eventually, on the third day, the secret realm assessment finally saw an actual student casualty.

In order to raise the 15 million source energy points needed to strengthen his ability, Chu Hong had spent the entire night running missions/fights for the [Special Service Department] while Wang Suming and the others were sleeping and resting at night.

Just as he woke up early in the morning, he saw a pile of things being cleared out by staff members from several temporary residences on the same floor as them in the [Black Iron Castle].

Song Jiaojiao also got up quite early, and standing beside her was Huang Yuling, a close friend whom Chu Hong also knew.

The latter sighed softly.

"I heard that team was eliminated three times in the secret realm. After receiving a warning from the examiners, they still chose to enter the assessment secret realm once more... and didn't make it out..."
