48: Chapter 48 Underhanded Tactics! Threats and Whitewashing, the Main Show Begins!

This scene left the instructors present completely dumbfounded!

They exchanged glances, seeing both shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Can this grand exam be played like this?

The rules clearly... no, wait, this grand exam has no rules at all!

This was originally a grand exam meant to test strength; the strong rise to the top!

Come to think of it... this method of robbery seems... fine!

"The little ones these days have such twisted minds; to think they could come up with such a path."

"Indeed, randomly picking an unlucky soul at the end to replace them... if that were back in our day... they would have been beaten to death long ago..."

"Exactly, using this method, he should have conserved his energy all day, only to face those exhausted of stamina in his prime. The blood on him... he's killed quite a few ferocious beasts; he should be a good sapling, treating this grand exam directly as an opportunity for practical combat training."

"Hmph! Opportunistic, plundering the fruits of others' labor. Such behavior walking on the edge of the rules is undoubtedly unfair to others! I'd like to see how he gets easily defeated when he first encounters that group of little monsters!"

A group of instructors left the card table, leaning against the entrance with their arms crossed, watching this scene with burning gazes.

Playing cards or whatever can't compare to something this interesting!

After a period of time.

A male student carrying a large bag, his face full of exhaustion but his eyes holding a trace of joy, emerged from the forest path. His face was covered in dust and dried blood, clearly having experienced many great battles.

Upon seeing the entrance, his heart rejoiced.

Because not only had he completed the assessment task of ten ferocious beasts of the same realm, but on top of that, he had hunted five more at the Early Stage Aperture Opening Realm, and one at the Tongqiao Middle Stage.

The total points added up to a full ten points!

Although compared to those powerful characters, this was insignificant.

But at least it would allow him to add some points to his score in this grand exam, and it was highly relevant to the final assessment.

"To think someone has already returned before me?"

The moment he saw Lu Qingyun in blood-stained clothes, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, but he suspected nothing else.

He walked up happily to greet him:

"Brother, back so soon? Must have had a good harvest."

He didn't notice that Lu Qingyun didn't have any backpack on him, so he naturally assumed that Lu Qingyun had already handed in the ferocious beast materials and finished the settlement.

Thus, he walked up without any defenses.

Just, he didn't know why... the expressions of those instructors seemed a bit strange...

Bang! A solid punch! It landed on his abdomen!

Intense pain made him widen his eyes, and he used all his strength to turn his head to look at Lu Qingyun.

In his ears, however, Lu Qingyun's voice rang out.

"Originally didn't have any harvest, but... business has opened now."

[Defeated LV11 Zhang Zhixing, Level Experience +354, Maximum HP permanently +254, Current HP 35484!]

Pow! Another hit for good measure!

The first member of the Tianjiao Camp fell helplessly to the ground.

In the end, his wide-open eyes still held tears of immense regret.

After Lu Qingyun pulled off the backpack from his body, he looked at the "corpse" lying on the ground and frowned.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at the instructors behind him and gestured with his chin at them.

The meaning was clear; he might as well have just said it out loud, asking them to clean up the mess.

"Hey! My short temper! What do you take us for, you brat!"

Another hot-tempered instructor, who already disliked Lu Qingyun's methods, seeing Lu Qingyun still trying to order them around, immediately rolled up his sleeves, wanting to teach this student with such a twisted mind a lesson.

But the other instructors on the side hurriedly held him back.

"Don't be impulsive, we just won't pay him any mind. No need to be so petty."

However... upon hearing that they wouldn't pay him any mind, Lu Qingyun immediately frowned.

Born as he was, how could he be willing to only use this method to ambush one person?

Immediately, he grabbed the boy's leg from the ground and headed straight for the dense forest!

Walking slowly and leisurely, he muttered: "Oh my, I wonder if someone sleeping in a beast-infested area in broad daylight will get eaten like a pie by a passing beast. What a pity, since you're already unconscious, and no instructor has come to take you away. Sigh! These instructors are really derelict in their duties."

A threat! A naked threat!

Isn't this clearly telling them that if they don't clean up the scene, he's going to drag the person out and feed them to the beasts!

Although they didn't believe Lu Qingyun would do such a heinous thing, thinking about what he had just done...

Even if there was only the slightest possibility, they didn't dare to gamble!

"Stop!"

"Put him down, we'll handle it."

An instructor gritted his teeth, the voice squeezed out from between his teeth.

After stepping forward and taking the student's leg, he glared at Lu Qingyun, then dragged him back into the camp.

"Should have done that earlier."

Lu Qingyun muttered, making all the instructors grit their teeth in hatred.

If someone were to make a move now, the other instructors probably wouldn't even budge.

Soon, after several more people arrived.

Lu Qingyun used the same method to harvest a few more backpacks.

This also completely changed the way the instructors behind him looked at him; whenever someone returned, they would frantically signal with their eyes.

Some more vigilant people noticed something unusual and stood at a distance without approaching easily.

But... an Inch Explosion Force!

Lu Qingyun's speed surged violently, his whole body like an arrow released from a bow, rushing forward in an instant!

A punch slammed down! A member of the Tianjiao Camp who had reached the Tongqiao Middle Stage was instantly knocked unconscious by him!

Experience gained!

This display of skill caused the expressions of those instructors, who were originally burning with rage, to instantly freeze.

This was the first time they had seen Lu Qingyun get serious.

From this speed and power, they could see Lu Qingyun's truly formidable strength!

But this could not change their opinion of Lu Qingyun!

On the contrary, possessing such strength and yet acting in such a despicable manner undoubtedly proved that there were huge problems with his character!

Before long, the backpacks behind Lu Qingyun started to pile up.

The total number of multiple backpacks could already be exchanged for a very considerable amount of points.

Ranking in the top twenty was absolutely not a problem!

However... Lu Qingyun didn't even glance at the backpacks he had thrown behind him.

In his gaze, there were only those weary figures returning one after another.

"This kid is a bit too greedy!"

"Still not stopping now, let's see if he capsizes in the gutter later!"

Behind him, whispers from the instructors could be heard.

As the time for termination drew closer, the number of people returning within a certain period was finally no longer just one by one.

Naturally, those methods of ambushing people lost their effectiveness.

The instructors crossed their arms, leaning against the gate, looking like they were watching a good show.

And just as they expected, Lu Qingyun had actually been looking forward to this moment from the very beginning!

Deep in his eyes, a sense of extreme excitement was hidden!

Even... he turned his head, his gaze sweeping over those instructors who acted as if it was none of their business, very casually...
