315: The top three in the standings shocked everyone

Mu Feng didn't know that he and Little Lizard had shattered Li Chenxi's worldview outside the cave.

At this moment, he was fully focused on slaughtering these Bats.

Inside the cave, countless sword lights and shadows flickered.

Large numbers of Bats were slain by Mu Feng.

But they still continued to attack fearlessly.

Just as the red prompt indicated, their desire for revenge was unusually strong.

You could say, if it weren't for the Puppet Lizard's abnormal defense and its natural counter to these Bats, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would likely be in dire straits facing such a multitude of attacking Bats.

"Go!"

While using the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword to kill Bats, Mu Feng also pulled out the Hundred Demon Diagram from his Storage Ring.

He performed a Cultivation Technique, and a large number of three-to-four-tier Yao Beasts surged out from the diagram.

Although their strength was much weaker than these Bats, they had the advantage of not being corporeal.

They could help the Puppet Lizard withstand the Bats' attacks, easing the Puppet Lizard's pressure.

Otherwise, Mu Feng was afraid the Puppet Lizard might be damaged by these Bats.

Although the Puppet Lizard had a self-repair skill, Mu Feng didn't know how long the repair would take.

And it was better not to get injured if possible.

In a place like this, maintaining a Peak state at all times was the most important thing.

No one knew when a powerful enemy might suddenly appear.

Mu Feng still remembered that there were other players in the Shenshou Valley.

He couldn't be reckless.

With the Yao Beasts from the Hundred Demon Diagram joining in, the pressure on the Puppet Lizard at the front line was significantly reduced.

It could even find time to counterattack those Bats.

With a vomit of Golden Flame, large groups of Bats were severely wounded and perished.

Seeing this, Mu Feng controlled the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword to finish off the severely wounded Bats.

As for those that had already perished, Mu Feng could do nothing.

He had originally thought that he and the Puppet Lizard would easily defeat these Bats.

However, after starting the fight, he realized it was still quite difficult.

Mainly because there were too many of them.

Leaving aside other factors, the sheer consumption of Magic Power alone would be unbearable for an ordinary person.

It was only because he had consumed a tuoyuan pill, increasing his Golden Core capacity, and was supported by ten thousand year spirit liquid, that he could endure.

Otherwise, he would probably have already been completely exhausted of his true Qi, or rather, his true Qi would have been completely depleted.

Alas.

Perhaps he should engage in such battles less often in the future.

Mu Feng was quite fortunate that this battle with the Bats was in this narrow cave area.

The Bats had to get past the Puppet Lizard first if they wanted to attack him.

If it were in an open area, he would truly be in a difficult situation.

The sheer offensive alone would drain his Magic Power, and if he also had to defend, Mu Feng felt he would only be left with running away.

Or releasing his trump card skill, Mystic Bird Transformation, to possibly kill all these Bats.

Outside the cave.

Li Chenxi was once again astonished watching Mu Feng, who seemed to have an endless supply of Magic Power and true Qi.

It had been almost half an hour since Mu Feng entered the cave.

During this half hour, Mu Feng had been attacking with high intensity.

Sometimes, he even performed multi-threaded operations, using his Lifebound Treasure, ancient treasure, and exotic treasure all at once.

Despite such high-intensity combat, Mu Feng showed no signs of weakness.

This showed that his Magic Power, true Qi, and Divine Sense had reached astonishing levels.

Her Divine Sense was also good now.

But she could only control three or four Magic Treasures to attack simultaneously at most.

Beyond that number, her Divine Sense would quickly be drained.

However, she saw Mu Feng attacking with no less than seven or eight Lifebound Flying Swords.

At most, he even used twelve Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords along with the Purple Clarity Pill Furnace, Hundred Demon Diagram, and the Magic Treasure flower basket simultaneously.

With such a large number of Magic Treasures, Li Chenxi felt her worldview was constantly being refreshed by Mu Feng.

Damn it, you call this Dan Formation?

Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would probably have been drained by now.

However, she had been shocked by too many things today.

At this moment, she was already somewhat numb.

Even if someone told her now that Mu Feng was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, she wouldn't be surprised.

While Li Chenxi was numb with astonishment, inside the cave, the battle was already nearing its end.

After half an hour of high-intensity combat, the number of Bats in the cave had dwindled from an initial fifty or sixty to less than ten.

The Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword in Mu Feng's hand had already devoured countless Souls, appearing radiant.

It seemed they were not far from advancing to Advanced Magic Treasure status, needing only a few more Primordial Spirits.

This greatly excited Mu Feng.

He attacked the remaining Bats with even more vigor.

However, the Bats that had survived until now were all quite strong.

If Mu Feng wanted to kill all of them, the difficulty might be similar to that of the previous dozens.

After all, the remaining ones were the elites among elites.

There were quite a few seven-tier ones alone.

If Mu Feng wanted to deal with them using ordinary methods, it would definitely take a long time.

After several failed attempts to kill them, he knew he had to change his attack method.

This place wasn't very safe either.

Such a fierce battle could probably be heard throughout the entire Shenshou Valley.

If the players who entered earlier were still here, they would certainly hear the commotion.

So he had to finish the battle quickly.

At the same time, he also needed to preserve some strength to deal with any contingencies.

Whether it was to deal with potential incoming enemies or to guard against Li Chenxi outside the cave, it was necessary.

After all, with so many six-tier demon cores and Yao Beast Materials right before their eyes, it was normal for greed to arise.

Even if the other party wasn't that kind of person, he had to be on guard.

"Little Lizard, release the Spirit Fire Bird attack!"

After the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword's attack failed again, Mu Feng gritted his teeth and decided to hold nothing back.

Anyway, there shouldn't be many Primordial Spirits left for his Lifebound Treasure's upgrade.

He could find opportunities to slowly upgrade it later.

For now, it was better to kill all the remaining elite monsters first.

Otherwise, the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Receiving Mu Feng's command, Little Lizard also didn't say a word and began to gather strength.

As a large amount of silver script flowed into its abdomen, a golden firebird was spat out from its mouth.

"Hoo!"

After a long cry, the golden firebird directly attacked the surviving Bats in the cave.

The firebird was extremely fast.

With a flap of its wings, it reached the Bats and then elegantly passed through them.

The remaining Bats, seeing how strong the firebird was, scattered and fled.

However, the firebird seemed to have a life of its own, pursuing them closely.

It appeared full of spirituality.

"This, this is?"

"Spirit Flame?!"

Outside the cave.

Li Chenxi exclaimed in surprise.

Spirit Flame refers to flames that have already given birth to spirituality.

Like other spiritual items, if Spirit Flame reaches its final stage, it will also transform into an independent form, like a Shapeshifting Spiritual Ginseng.

Its power is incredibly immense.

This firebird, in fact, was still just a Prototype.

It didn't have independent thoughts yet.

But this was enough to shock Li Chenxi.

As a Cultivator of fire-element Cultivation Technique, she knew how difficult it was for Spirit Flame to form!

Her Flame Yang Blaze Fire Skill recorded that the formation of Spirit Flame had no fixed pattern; it was simply formed by various fire-element Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Besides Opportunity, it also required luck.

Even now, she was still completely clueless, not knowing how to Cultivate it.

Yet, the very thing she struggled so hard to create was actually produced by a Puppet?!

This left her both shocked and filled with endless bitter smiles.

The gap was truly too vast.

The thing she yearned for but couldn't obtain was given to a Puppet by Mu Feng.

Should she curse him for being wasteful or say he was not acting like a proper person?

How could he feed such a precious fire-element exotic treasure to a Puppet??

Feeding ginseng to a pig was nothing compared to this!

No, it was even more excessive than feeding ginseng to a pig; this Spirit Flame was the lifelong pursuit of countless fire-element Cultivation Technique Cultivators.

She felt her heart bleeding.

While Li Chenxi was heartbroken, inside the cave, Mu Feng and Little Lizard had already killed all the remaining Bats.

"Phew, it's finally over."

After dealing with the last Bat, Mu Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

If it didn't end soon, his ten thousand year spirit liquid wouldn't last.

To ensure his Magic Power always had reserves, he had been continuously consuming ten thousand year spirit liquid to replenish it.

A small bottle, originally full of ten thousand year spirit liquid, had already lost a quarter after half an hour of high-intensity combat.

His Golden Core capacity was now very large, and the diluted ten thousand year spirit liquid's effect was no longer as good as before.

"Alas, sometimes having too much true Qi capacity isn't good either."

Mu Feng sighed.

This was truly a happy problem.

Fortunately, everything was worth it.

In this battle, his Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword had a feast.

Mu Feng checked the progress bar.

He was at 43/50.

He only needed to devour seven more Primordial Spirits, and his Lifebound Treasure, the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, could enter the ranks of Advanced Magic Treasure!

Its power would surely transform significantly then!

After taking out a Holy Spirit Pill from his Storage Ring and consuming it, and then making some minor adjustments, Mu Feng stood up and walked towards the piles of Yao Beast corpses.

He began to collect them one by one.

[System Notification: Bat Inner Core x1]

[System Notification: Bat Wing x1]

....

[System Notification: Bat Inner Core x1]

There were too many Bat corpses in the cave.

It took Mu Feng almost four or five minutes just to collect them.

The quantity was so large that he didn't even have time to check the uses of those Materials before putting them into his Storage Ring.

Fortunately, he had brought five rings this time.

Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to store everything.

The main reason was that six-tier demon cores were independent items, and each slot could only hold one.

This meant that over sixty slots were used up instantly.

"Phew, finally done."

"I didn't expect collecting Yao Beast corpses to be so tiring!"

After a period of collecting, Mu Feng's current haul was as follows:

Six-tier demon cores x52, five-order monster cores x6, seven-tier demon cores x7.

As for Materials, Bat wings x63, Bat flesh and blood x48, Bat fangs x88.

The reason for such a difference in Materials was that some Bats were directly incinerated by Little Lizard's Golden Flame.

This was unavoidable.

There were too many, and killing them one by one was too slow.

[System Notification: Congratulations on reaching the top three on the Points Ranking。]

Mu Feng had just finished tallying the Bat Materials in his hand when a red notification appeared before him.

"Holy cow, I'm actually in the top three!"

Seeing the notification, Mu Feng was overjoyed.

"I didn't expect these Yao Beast Materials to be so valuable!"

"Let's see!"

Discovering that he was in the top three of the Standings, Mu Feng curiously checked his integral status.

[Name: Mu Feng]

[World: 108 World]

[ integral: 195683 integral]

[Rank: 3]

...

"Over 190,000 integral, awesome!"

As soon as he opened the integral System, Mu Feng saw his original 20,000-plus integral instantly turn into over 190,000.

This meant that the Materials from this battle alone were worth over 170,000 integral.

"Hehe, I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied."

Mu Feng chuckled.

His previously fatigued expression from the battle's exhaustion turned excited again.

After checking his own integral, Mu Feng opened the top ten of the Points Ranking to check.

He wanted to see the integral gap between himself and the top two.

[Tenth Place: Zhang Ridong, integral: 113543, World: 99]

[Ninth Place: Li Duoxing, integral: 123867, World: 102]

[Eighth Place: Huangfu Zhengyi, integral: 134176, World: 105]

[Seventh Place: Li Hui, integral: 144182, World: 103]

[Sixth Place: Ouyang Lin, integral: 154185, World: 107]

[Fifth Place: Zhuge Zhantian, integral: 154195, World: 101]

[Fourth Place: Fifth Zhaotong, integral: 164201, World: 101]

[Third Place: Mu Feng, integral: 195683, World: 108 World]

[Second Place: Hu Zhentian, integral: 200209, World: 96]

[First Place: Wen Ze, integral: 240296, World: 96]

...

The changes in the top ten were not particularly significant, but some new Faces had appeared.

Mu Feng glanced at them a few times before jumping to the top three to check the integral difference between himself and the top two.

"Less than 10,000 integral behind second place, and less than 50,000 integral behind first place!"

"Awesome!"

Mu Feng was excited.

Earlier, he had felt that the gap between himself and the top three was huge.

He didn't expect to have caught up to second place so quickly.

This made him very happy.

The changes in the Standings naturally attracted some people's attention.

But when they saw Mu Feng, this unfamiliar name, ranking in the top three, they were all stunned.

"Huh, the top three actually changed? Mu Feng? Who is this expert? Never heard of him."

"I don't know, probably a hidden expert."

"Holy cow? Am I seeing this right? Someone from the 108 World actually surpassed Fifth Zhaotong and entered the top three?"

"Look, this person seems to be only at the Dan Formation. I wonder how he got so many integral!"

"Holy crap, Senior Mu Feng is amazing! He actually made it into the top three, so much Face for 108 World!"

"Heard that Senior Mu Feng made it into the top three, specifically came here to leave my mark. No more pretending, I'm from the 108 World!"

"Normal, the previous integral rankings are unstable. Maybe he got lucky and found some Heaven-Defying item."

"Indeed, that's how it is. What strength can a Dan Formation person have?"

"The 108 World is a bit arrogant, but it's normal, after all, they're country bumpkins who haven't seen much of the world. I guarantee that in a few hours, this Mu Feng will be knocked out of the top ten thousand!"

....

(Forgot to post yesterday... just realized.)
