Chapter 84 Chu Han's Crazy Performance
"Hahaha, refreshing!"
Chu Han laughed heartily, charging into the herd with his flame demon battle saber in hand, beginning a massive slaughter.
The flame demon saber traced simple arcs in his hands, each strike precisely slicing across the necks of the Iron Armored Rhinoceroses.
Wherever he went, corpses of Iron Armored Rhinoceroses fell in swathes.
Under 15x gravity, he used only the Basic Saber Technique to kill these Iron Armored Rhinoceroses to better temper his body.
It also helped improve his body's adaptation to high gravity.
Outside, inside a room of the Tianyuan Province Martial Arts Association.
A separate screen was displaying Chu Han's assessment information in real-time.
There was a radar-like area on this screen, covered with red dots.
Surrounded by red dots, a blue dot was exceptionally active, representing Chu Han.
At this moment, the red dots around Chu Han were steadily and rapidly decreasing.
Chu Tianxiong frowned slightly: "The speed is still a bit slow. With his strength, if he used a Martial Skill, he could clear dozens in one move. He's clearly holding back."
To the side, President Sun said: "He's very smart. Aside from using a powerful Martial Skill at the start to kill dozens, his kill speed slowed down. He's likely preserving stamina for the higher-Rank exotic beasts later."
Everyone nodded one after another, looks of admiration in their eyes.
"Sly kid."
Chu Tianxiong said with a smile.
However, these martial arts big shots had all misunderstood.
Chu Han simply wanted to temper himself; he wasn't thinking about preserving stamina.
As time passed, Chu Han's kill speed was quietly accelerating.
Because his body was adapting better and better to the 15x gravity, his footwork became more agile, his muscles easier to control, and his strength naturally improved bit by bit.
As the last Iron Armored Rhinoceros fell at his feet, the first wave of exotic beasts had been completely wiped out.
His wristband immediately displayed the results for the first wave: "First wave of exotic beasts cleared. Time taken: 5 minutes 17 seconds. Total killed: 500 Unranked Iron Armored Rhinoceroses. Points earned: 500!"
Outside, Chu Tianxiong and the others also saw the score on the screen.
"This kid really didn't let us down. The further he goes, the faster he gets. He must have found some trick!"
Chu Tianxiong said with great satisfaction.
"Resolving 500 Iron Armored Rhinoceroses in 5 minutes—this speed is even faster than other candidates clearing the normal difficulty!" President Sun said from the side in shock.
"Let's keep watching. The second wave of exotic beasts is coming up."
Inside the Secret Realm, Chu Han only rested for one minute.
The second wave of exotic beasts attacked quickly. This time, the beasts were Rank 1 Tusk Boars, numbering around 200.
When 200 Tusk Boars ran, the momentum was even greater than that of 500 Iron Armored Rhinoceroses.
"Tusk Boars? I'm most familiar with this kind of exotic beast."
The corners of Chu Han's mouth curled slightly as he recalled that first operation into the wilderness.
That Tusk Boar that knelt and begged for mercy had left a deep impression on him.
"Come on, let's finish this quickly."
To Chu Han, Tusk Boars were just a larger version of Iron Armored Rhinoceroses.
Their primary means of attack was relying on their tusks.
Soon, the first Tusk Boar had charged in front of Chu Han, its massive tusks carrying a cold glint as they lunged toward his chest.
Chu Han's feet moved slightly, easily dodging the Tusk Boar's attack.
At the same time, the flame demon battle saber in his hand slashed out with the momentum, instantly separating the pig's head from its body.
He leaped directly into the middle of the Tusk Boar pack, immediately provoking their ferocity as they attacked him from all sides.
Though the Tusk Boars' attacks were fierce, they were consistently unable to touch his body.
Instead, the flame demon battle saber in his hand was like a reaper's scythe, crazily harvesting the lives of the Tusk Boars!
Outside, Chu Tianxiong looked at the rapidly decreasing red dots on the screen, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
"This speed is even faster than when he was killing the Iron Armored Rhinoceroses!"
"The speed and power of Tusk Boars are both stronger than Iron Armored Rhinoceroses, yet he can handle them so easily. This second wave of exotic beasts has become meaningless; it's just giving him points."
The admiration in Chu Tianxiong's eyes grew even stronger.
Soon, the second wave of exotic beasts was cleared. Time taken: 1 minute 48 seconds. Total killed: 200 Rank 1 Tusk Boars. Points earned: 800.
Chu Han welcomed another brief rest period.
"Next is the third wave, 100 Rank 2 Tiger-Chelicerae Hounds. This is the real test."
"Tiger-Chelicerae Hounds are notoriously difficult to deal with. They have the speed and power of a tiger, combined with the cunning and teamwork of a hound. Ordinary candidates find it extremely hard to face even 20; 99% of people will give up here. But Chu Han has to face 100 alone—the difficulty isn't just a simple fivefold increase!"
"I wonder if the Tiger-Mastiff Hounds can cause him any trouble."
Chu Tianxiong and the others were even more expectant of Chu Han's next performance.
Inside the Secret Realm, accompanied by a burst of sharp barking, the third wave of Tiger-Mastiff Hounds soon appeared.
Chu Han looked up and saw 100 Tiger-Chelicerae Hounds rapidly closing in on him.
The size of a Tiger-Mastiff Hound was even larger than a tiger from his previous life, with lean, powerful muscles and skin covered in thick fur.
Unlike the Iron Armored Rhinoceroses and Tusk Boars, the Tiger-Chelicerae Hounds did not charge foolishly.
Instead, they split into several small teams, flanking him from different directions to trap Chu Han within a circle before launching fatal attacks.
"Interesting."
A hint of excitement flashed in Chu Han's eyes.
His goal was not just to kill these Tiger-Chelicerae Hounds, but also to ensure his body wasn't touched by them even in the slightest.
He wanted to further temper his speed and reaction time amidst their siege, allowing his body to better adapt to the 15x gravity.
Soon, a group of Tiger-Chelicerae Hounds rushed in front of Chu Han and launched a fierce offensive against him.
Chu Han's feet moved, and relying on his Basic Movement Technique, he wove back and forth through the Tiger-Mastiff Hounds' attacks.
Every time, the Tiger-Mastiff Hounds' attacks were dodged by Chu Han within a millimeter's distance.
What he wanted was this kind of extreme effect to stimulate more potential within his body.
As the Tiger-Mastiff Hounds crowded closer and closer, Chu Han's space to dodge also became smaller.
Under these extreme conditions, he found that his bodily functions were also continuously improving.
His body's degree of adaptation to the 15x gravity was also getting higher; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
"A minute has already passed. Why hasn't Chu Han killed a single Tiger-Mastiff Hound?"
Soon, someone raised a question.
On the screen, the number of Tiger-Mastiff Hounds was still 100, without any decrease.
And the blue dot representing Chu Han had been completely surrounded by a large number of red dots, with no gaps remaining.
"He's using these Tiger-Mastiff Hounds to temper his movement technique!"
Chu Tianxiong made a startling observation. He pointed at the screen and said, "Look, it's not that this blue dot isn't moving, but rather it's constantly changing position with extremely minute adjustments!"
After hearing Chu Tianxiong's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
In their hearts, they now had a brand new perception of Chu Han.
After another ten minutes, the blue dot on the screen finally began to move rapidly.
At the same time, the surrounding red dots began to decrease at extreme speed.
"It looks like he's about to pass this wave."
A minute later, Chu Han's third wave results appeared on the screen: "Time taken: 1 minute 3 seconds. Total killed: 100 Rank 2 Tiger-Mastiff Hounds. Points earned: 1000."
The room suddenly fell silent.
"The third wave of exotic beasts still poses no threat to Chu Han. A siege of Rank 2 exotic beasts is far from reaching his limit!"
"Next is the fourth wave, 50 Rank 3 exotic beasts. This has already been the limit for candidates in previous years."
"Last year's top scorer was stopped by the fourth wave of exotic beasts."
