6: Thundering in the sky, professional team!

“Killed a Level 2 Dire Wolf, experience +20.”

“Killed a Level 2 Dire Wolf, experience +20.”

“Killed a Level 2 Dire Wolf, experience +20.”

Facing the ferocious attack of Nine Heavens Thunderclap, the seven or eight Dire Wolves had no choice but to be instantly killed.

The Dire Wolves died, their bodies even whipped by lightning for a while; Xia Qi poked them with his bone sword, and the charred corpses instantly split into pieces of charcoal, a pungent smell assailing him.

“I didn’t expect Nine Heavens Thunderclap to be so powerful!”

“This is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.”

Xia Qi looked around; the environment within a hundred-meter radius also suffered under the lightning’s baptism, trees were broken and burned, and the grass completely disappeared, turning into charred soil.

It could be described as utterly destructive, leaving not a blade of grass.

Xia Qi was very satisfied with such power, but the consumption was also significant.

He could clearly feel that his current body energy was more than half depleted, only enough to support one more release of Nine Heavens Thunderclap.

If it was for leveling up, Nine Heavens Thunderclap should be avoided unless there was a high-density cluster of monsters.

“S-Rank Talent is indeed formidable; all the skills learned are extremely powerful.”

“This is just S-Rank; if it were SS-Rank or SSS-Rank Talent, once they matured, destroying the world probably wouldn’t be difficult.”

Xia Qi stroked his chin and began to analyze; although he had never seen anyone above S-Rank, since this world had such a Rank division, it meant that such powerhouses definitely existed.

Below A-Rank was not worth mentioning, but above A-Rank, each stage should be an insurmountable chasm.

Otherwise, one or two S-Ranks would not be treated like treasures by the principal.

Such a judgment might be somewhat limited, but Xia Qi believed his judgment was close to the truth.

A pillar of light shot out from his body.

After killing these seven or eight Level 2 Dire Wolves, he just leveled up to Rank Three.

All attributes increased by another 10 points, and the depleted energy in his body was fully restored.

Enveloping his entire body with the power of lightning, Xia Qi left this area and continued to search for monsters to level up.

“Killed a Rank 3 Stone Beetle, experience +30.”

“Killed a Rank 4 River Crab, experience +40.”

“Killed a Rank 5 Mahu, experience +50.”

...

Rank 5 monsters were discovered, but facing Xia Qi, who possessed the S-Rank Thunder Control Talent, they were still instantly killed by a single Frenzy Lightning.

The battle process was very easy; the lightning, under Xia Qi's will, struck wherever he directed it.

At this rate, he could level up again in at most one or two hours.

If this were any other student, reaching Rank Three on the first day would already be excellent, and it would only get slower later on.

After all, for most people, reaching Rank Eight or Nine within a week was already the absolute limit.

Rank 10 could meet the basic requirements for university.

Unless you wanted to aim for a higher-tier academy, a minimum of Rank 12 had to be reached within a month.

And for those top-tier prestigious schools, like 211-level top 100 academies, one would need to be Rank 12 or above, with a minimum of Rank 15 to meet the standard.

At the dungeon entrance, Principal Wang Changyuan and a group of Class Three homeroom teachers were chatting idly.

“I wonder what Rank these students will reach on the first day this year.”

“Rank Three is normal, Rank Four is already an excellent student, and Rank Five is top-tier in the entire school.”

“Hmm, in that case, it’s probably only Xia Qi from Class Four who can reach Rank Five on the first day; the highest record for S-Rank Talent in the past was also Rank Five.”

“S-Rank Talent has higher solo efficiency, so it’s normal for their Rank to be higher than other students.”

“Except for Yun Qingyue and Su Yuanchen, who have family backgrounds, everyone else is in the novice dungeon.”

“Hey, Class Four homeroom teacher, I heard that Xia Qi and Su Yuanchen made a bet in your class. Who do you think will win?”

“It’s just kids playing around, don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously.”

Principal Wang Changyuan listened to the idle chat among the homeroom teachers, thinking to himself, “Su Yuanchen’s family is not simple. If he finds a professional team to help him level up, Xia Qi might not necessarily win.”

Once an Awakener reaches Rank Five, their leveling speed will slow down significantly.

Xia Qi was also in the relatively safe novice dungeon, so his leveling efficiency would definitely not compare to the wilderness.

Jiangcheng wilderness, edge area.

Three men in professional attire were fighting fiercely with wild monsters, while Su Yuanchen hid far away, boredly watching them kill monsters.

A flash of white light, and Su Yuanchen leveled up.

“It took so long to reach Rank Three. Are you guys even capable? If not, I’ll have my dad get another group of professionals to help me level up.”

After leaving school, Su Yuanchen immediately arranged for his family to find people to help him level up. Although the Su Family didn’t have very powerful Awakeners, in terms of financial resources, they were only slightly below Yun Qingyue’s family.

Two hours later, Su Yuanchen, who had reached Rank Three in team mode, was still not very satisfied. He even wanted to reach Rank Ten in one day and thoroughly humiliate Xia Qi.

He wanted everyone at school to see that an S-Rank Talent was nothing more than a clown.

“Young Master Su, why don’t you also kill monsters? The efficiency can be improved, and A-Rank Talent is not weak.”

A middle-aged man dressed in silver-white light armor said with a fawning smile.

He was the team leader, having reached Rank Thirty before the age of thirty. Although he had a B-Rank Talent, through his efforts, his team’s reputation was no weaker than some A-Rank professional teams.

Such an achievement was already the ceiling for B-Rank Talent, and he could even speak on equal terms within the A-Rank Talent circle.

“No, are you a Mahu? I paid you to power level me, and you’re actually telling me to fight monsters with you?”

“B-Rank is B-Rank. If it weren’t for your cheap fees, I would have told my dad to arrange an A-Rank team to power level me.”

Su Yuanchen was not a kind person; his words were full of ridicule and disdain, and he even spat on the ground in contempt.

“You…”

The only support girl in the team trembled with anger. Seeing her captain being insulted like this, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to go up and teach this arrogant rich kid a lesson.

“Don’t be impulsive!”

The captain stopped the support girl, bent down, and apologized to Su Yuanchen, “Young Master Su, please rest. We’ll work harder.”

“That’s more like it.”

Su Yuanchen tilted his head back, found a relatively flat stone, and crossed his legs while playing on his phone.

“Oh, by the way, isn’t your Talent capable of producing support items? Make me some juice. Remember, I don’t drink passion fruit!”

He shouted at the support girl. Her Talent was B-Rank [I Have a Cup of Energy Water], which could create energy-restoring drinks to help the team quickly replenish depleted energy.

It was because of her that, under the captain's leadership, their B-Rank Talent team could be as strong as some A-Rank Talent teams.

“No, my Talent has a daily usage limit, and it must be saved for the captain and them.”

“Then I don’t care, I’m thirsty.”

“If you don’t want the money, you don’t have to make it.”

Su Yuanchen was used to being arrogant; how could he care about the team’s survival? In his opinion, once he paid, his conditions had to be met.

“You…”

The support girl stomped her foot in anger, her eyes seeking help from her captain.

The captain killed a Rank 5 Frenzy Wolf and sighed helplessly, “Give it to him.”

He turned around and began to work hard again, fighting low-level monsters, his heart already in turmoil.

If it weren’t for supporting his family, he would never have taken this 500,000 yuan power-leveling mission.
