140: Chapter 140 A World-Destroying Strike! This Insect is a Great Tonic!

Zhennan City.

Southern Military Region General Staff Department.

After nearly half an hour of powerful electromagnetic interference, a distress signal classified as the highest "City-Destroying Level" finally tore through the heavy obstacles and connected to the command hub.

The adjutant rushed in, practically tumbling and crawling, slammed the encrypted communication board onto the desk, and said with a trembling voice,

"Report! Jiangcheng No. 1 High School has been attacked by the Tongyuan Society!

The Purple Pattern Spirit-Locking Array has sealed the entire venue, the Tier 5 Barrier Master Mantis King is guarding the array eye, and all students and instructors are trapped!"

"Latest intercepted intelligence—a Tier 6 Beast Seal User 'Scorpion King' has appeared in the exam venue, and it is suspected... to have evolved to Tier 7!"

Chief of Staff Jiang Nanxing stood up abruptly.

His refined demeanor was swept away, replaced by the iron-blooded killing intent of a soldier.

"Scorpion King?"

His voice was cold, "How could he appear at a college entrance exam venue?"

A Tier 6 Beast Seal User. That is a combat force capable of threatening an A-Grade base city.

"Pass the order!" He did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Commander Huangfu Jing of the 7th Independent Regiment of the Vermilion Bird Legion, reinforce Jiangcheng immediately!

Simultaneously mobilize all available combat forces from the Jiangcheng branch of the Hunter Association to coordinate the operation!"

"Spare no cost to protect the safety of the students and the public!"

The old man playing chess on the side put down his piece and frowned, "Nanxing, that girl from the Huangfu family... is at the Peak of Tier 5, right? Facing a Tier 6 and a Tier 7, you are sending her?"

Jiang Nanxing sat back down, his gaze locked tightly on the red dot representing Jiangcheng on the sand table, the curve of his mouth meaningful.

"High-end combat forces are all being tied up everywhere by that bunch of rats, and the Source Abyss is also frequently restless."

"Old man, have you forgotten what kind of talent that girl from the Huangfu family has?"

A sharp light flashed in Jiang Nanxing's eyes. "She alone is a special operations unit!"

—Southern United Martial Arts Academy. Gravity Training Ground A-03.

Commander Huangfu Jing, with her fiery red hair, leaned against the railing, propping her chin with one hand, watching the students run obstacles and trip over themselves in boredom.

A male instructor wearing a "Five-Star Abyss Hunter Armband" nearby was fawning over her,

"Instructor Huangfu, congratulations! I heard you hunted another Tier 5 Peak Lava Giant Lizard alone last month. The stars on your armband will soon have another one added!"

Commander Huangfu Jing turned a deaf ear to his flattery. At this moment, she was thinking about something else.

That girl... actually reached Tier 3 so quickly? Shen Qingci. Her most proud student.

Even under the deliberate suppression of that dead father, she could still advance so fast. Compared to her, her own title of Genius back then...

Just then, "Beep—! Beep—! Beep—!" A harsh alarm sounded suddenly from the military terminal on her wrist.

Commander Huangfu Jing's lazy expression vanished instantly. It was the highest-level S-Grade encrypted order from the Southern Military Region General Command.

[Emergency Military Order: Jiangcheng No. 1 High School has been attacked by the Tongyuan Society and has been sealed by the Purple Pattern Spirit-Locking Array. It is confirmed internally that there is a Tier 5 Peak Barrier Master "Mantis King" and a Tier 6 Beast Seal User "Scorpion King". Your unit is ordered to reinforce immediately, authorized to use all necessary means!]

Jiangcheng? College entrance exam? Shen Qingci is also inside!

Boom—! A terrifying Aura exploded, and the male instructor nearby was blown back several steps by the air wave.

Commander Huangfu Jing grabbed the crimson greatsword on the wall that was taller than she was and turned to leave.

"Instructor Huangfu! Where are you going?"

"Jiangcheng." Two words. She had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Behind her, the fawning expression on the male instructor's face faded completely. He quickly pulled out an encrypted communicator and dialed a secret number from the Imperial Capital.

"Young Lord, it's me!"

"Young Miss Commander Huangfu Jing, she went to Jiangcheng alone...!"

—Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, in the ruins of the Martial Arts Arena.

"Rumble—!!" Six giant tails spun crazily.

The extreme rotation, exceeding several times the speed of sound, stirred up a dark purple ionization storm within the array.

The biomass giant drill, formed by the fusion of the six tails, plowed a bottomless trench through the alloy floor and headed straight for Su Ming's chest.

The whole audience held their breath. This was a world-ending strike enough to make any creature below Tier 7 despair!

However, facing this earth-shattering drill, Su Ming did not retreat but Advanced, a fierce light flaring in his eyes.

"Time to eat!" He crossed his arms to protect his chest and rammed head-on into the rotating world-ending bone drill!

The next instant! Boom—!!! A deafening roar made the entire barrier tremble violently!

The indestructible bone drill slammed solidly onto Su Ming's crossed arms.

The Dark Star-IV battle armor gifted by Shen Qingci, within 0.01 seconds of contact, didn't even have time to let out a groan before it instantly vaporized, disintegrated, and shattered into metal dust flying all over the sky!

The terrifying spiral strangling force poured in frantically! The battle armor gifted by Shen Qingci was just gone like that!

But Su Ming was as steady as a robot!

[Ding! Absorbed ultra-high concentration composite kinetic energy, mass points +50000!]

[Ding! Absorbed ultra-high concentration composite kinetic energy, mass points +50000!]

[Ding! Absorbed ultra-high concentration composite kinetic energy, mass points +50000!]

...The continuous notification sounds exploded! Only three seconds! 150,000 mass points gained!

The Tier 7 King Venom before was satisfying enough at 15,000 per bite, but this drill jump was 50,000 per tick! Who could handle this!

Su Ming's [Kinetic Siphon] was pushed to the limit of overload at this moment, and the terrifying gravitational field formed by his 300 tons of mass was stretched and deformed under this extreme penetrating force!

This time, he was not facing a wide-area slap, but an extreme penetration conducted by concentrating the lifelong power of a Tier 7 Beast King onto the tip of a cone as thin as a hair, at an ultra-high rotation speed of tens of thousands of revolutions per minute!

The pressure was ridiculously high. Su Ming's defense was torn open at the tip of this cone.

A very thin, very sharp force stabbed into his right arm. "Pfft." A soft sound.

Su Ming's right arm had its skin broken! A few drops of blood rolled down along the wound on his forearm.

Since the college entrance exam began, facing test machines, the life-and-death battle with Zhao Kuo, the probing of the Tier 5 Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng, the giant pincers and stingers of the Tier 6 Scorpion King, the baptism of the Tier 7 King Venom... he hadn't even lost a single hair.

At this moment, he was finally injured.

The pair of scarlet compound eyes of the Purple Scorpion King suddenly lit up.

"Haha! Finally broke your defense, this move of mine..."

The laughter stopped abruptly. It saw that drop of blood clearly. It was not red.

It was a thick, metallic-textured, silver-white blood that emitted a strange luster.

The silver blood flowed down Su Ming's arm and dripped onto the gravel at his feet.

The gravel hissed and smoked as it was corroded by the residual scorpion venom, but the silver blood itself remained unchanged.

The Purple Scorpion King stiffened all over, almost forgetting to exert force.

When he first became a Beast Seal User, he had the fortune to find a blood-stained top-secret file in the bottom-level archives of the Tongyuan Society.

Silver-white blood, only one kind of existence deserves to possess it! That is—the Chairperson of the Tongyuan Society!

Those seven old monsters who had long abandoned their human shells and extended their lives for a thousand years by forbidden means.

Only in their veins did this silver blood, which had transcended the category of carbon-based life, flow.

At the time, he thought it was a legend; after all, those seven great figures never showed themselves.

But now, on an eighteen-year-old human boy, the same blood had actually appeared!

"Sil... Silver blood?!" Its voice cracked, carrying a fear from the marrow of its bones. "You... you are not human?!"
