33: Ferocious beasts rioted, leaving corpses everywhere

“Then I need to hurry back and find the nearest drop pod.”

Lin Wu checked his wristband and found that the nearest drop pod was about fifty kilometers away.

That drop pod had not yet been withdrawn, clearly waiting for Lin Wu.

“I need to speed up.”

Lin Wu didn’t dare to stay in this place for too long.

As humans began an orderly evacuation, the Vicious Beasts realized their actions were effective, and subsequently gathered in increasing numbers, with the largest beast horde already numbering several thousand.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone thousands of Vicious Beasts surrounding and attacking.

Lin Wu ran while checking the rankings again.

“I should be firmly in first place now; after all, there’s a large gap with second place, and they’ve all entered the drop pods.”

“I can’t check the ranking System, nor can I kill more Vicious Beasts to earn points.”

Lin Wu relaxed.

There are many talents in the world, so maintaining caution is still necessary… At the interstellar spaceship!

At this moment, the ten major drop pods had already gathered, and the students were proceeding in an orderly fashion to the interstellar spaceship under military escort.

Logically, the students could have evacuated earlier, but because of Lin Wu, they had delayed until now.

“Who is it, exactly? They still haven’t been rescued. Is he really not afraid of death, so eager to get Vicious Beast points?”

One student expressed his confusion.

Other students were more angry.

“This person is truly crazy, dragging all of us down by himself. For his own ranking, he’s probably still killing Vicious Beasts right now.”

“No need to even think about it, he just wants to secretly kill enemies and make his points number one!”

The students grew increasingly angry, gradually becoming agitated. After all, they had boarded the drop pods in response to the call.

Now that someone was secretly adding points, their hearts immediately felt unbalanced.

As they complained, someone spotted many Vicious Beast hordes.

“Holy crap, look! The Vicious Beast hordes are all here!”

“The number of these Vicious Beasts must be almost ten thousand, right? My goodness, look, there are quite a few Eighth-Stage Vicious Beasts too…”

“Is that person who still hasn’t fully evacuated already going to die?”

“I don’t know, it’s better if such a person dies, delaying everyone’s progress…”

The students were not worried or afraid, because the interstellar spaceship’s armed System could easily suppress and kill these Vicious Beasts!

As long as energy and ammunition were not lacking, even hundreds of thousands of Vicious Beasts would meet their demise… Meanwhile, among the examiner team.

They were still discussing.

“That student named Lin Wu is too fond of fighting; he still doesn’t want to evacuate. If this continues, the other students might protest.” an examiner said with a serious expression.

In this world, there is a truth called 'not suffering from scarcity, but from inequality'.

“I don’t think so. The Vicious Beasts are basically in groups now, pouncing on anyone they encounter. As a lone wolf without teammates, killing more Vicious Beasts won’t achieve much, given the significant risk.”

“The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish, right?”

“That may be true, but the overall progress cannot be delayed by one person.”

The examiners had already decided to activate the drop pods to search for Lin Wu.

Then Chief Examiner Qin spoke.

“He’s coming. Look at the students’ wristband information.”

The other examiners looked at the radar screen.

“My goodness, is he that fast?”

“He must be using some equipment.”

Outside the interstellar spaceship, the Vicious Beasts had already surrounded the spaceship in layers. At this moment, they were slowly approaching, intending to scare off the humans or slaughter all of them to death.

Humans naturally would not sit idly by, especially with several True Qi Realm powerhouses stationed there.

The spaceship immediately prepared for battle, and other Martial Artists of high Body Refining stages were also responsible for guarding various passages.

Various giant cannons on top of the spaceship were also charged and ready, just in case the Vicious Beasts advanced further.

“Report to Chief Examiner Qin, the number of Vicious Beasts outside has reached nine thousand, including nine Ninth-Stage Vicious Beasts, eighteen Eighth-Stage Vicious Beasts, and all others are low-level Vicious Beasts.”

“They pose a serious threat to the spaceship now. Should we immediately use the plasma cannons?”

Chief Examiner Qin said without any hesitation: “Fire!”

Instantly!

The plasma cannons on top of the various starships fired instantly, one high-voltage lightning bolt after another erupting.

The low-level Vicious Beasts in the front row were instantly killed the moment they touched the lightning, falling to the ground either charred or twitching… The remaining Vicious Beasts were also scared and scattered!

Only many corpses were scattered on the ground.

And most of them were low-level Vicious Beasts.

Because the interstellar spaceship, to conserve energy, specifically used only the lowest power plasma cannons.

Therefore, some Vicious Beasts above the Fourth-Stage only twitched and did not die; after standing up, they all left.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, many students were filled with longing.

“If only all these Vicious Beasts were killed by me, I would definitely be number one, sigh!”

“I think you’re dreaming yourself silly…”

...Not far from the interstellar spaceship.

Lin Wu saw a flash of lightning in the distance.

“It seems the spaceship is ahead.”

Lin Wu continued to run, encountering some Vicious Beasts along the way, but he ignored them.

After all, he needed to evacuate quickly… Soon, Lin Wu arrived in the vicinity of the interstellar spaceship!

Upon arriving at the scene, he discovered a large number of Vicious Beast corpses.

“My goodness, I can use Qi and Blood Absorption perfectly! Although they are only First to Third-Stage Vicious Beasts, every little bit adds up!”

Lin Wu paused on the outskirts of the interstellar spaceship!

Other students also saw Lin Wu.

“There are nearly a thousand Vicious Beasts on site…”

“Absorb, absorb, absorb quickly!”

Lin Wu spread his Mental Energy, directly forming a Domain.

To absorb this Qi and Blood, Lin Wu also deliberately slowed his pace, and streams of Qi and Blood rose!

[You absorbed 10 points of Qi and Blood.]

[You absorbed 15 points of Qi and Blood.]

[You absorbed 21 points of Qi and Blood.]

Lin Wu absorbed frantically!

These faint Qi and Blood slowly gathered on Lin Wu’s body, and within the Tianmen Acupoint on his forehead, many resentments gathered, but they were all shattered one by one by the Spirit Mount Tai.

Every second, Lin Wu could absorb the Qi and Blood of a hundred Vicious Beasts!

In just nine seconds, all the Qi and Blood were absorbed.

Looking at the messages on the System panel, Lin Wu found that there were only over nine hundred Vicious Beasts killed.

As the last trace of Qi and Blood was absorbed.

The message of Realm advancement also sounded in Lin Wu’s mind.

[Host absorbed the Qi and Blood of 921 Vicious Beasts, gaining 16523 points of Qi and Blood. Congratulations, Host, you have successfully reached the upgrade threshold! You will advance from Body Refining Fifth Stage to Body Refinement Sixth Level!]

“This wave was great; my Realm can advance again, Body Refinement Sixth Level!”

Seeing people slowly protesting in the distance.

Lin Wu also felt too embarrassed to delay any longer.
