Chapter 399: Chapter 389: 500,000 Points

They were all dead.

Lin Qi looked at the bodies before him. Their eyes were filled with terror.

A few of them were students from his own Sixth Institute.

But now they were all dead, killed by his own hand.

But they deserved to die!

Li Zehao and Yu Jing... he’d had run-ins with them before. Especially Li Zehao. He was certain the guy had been dying to kill him.

But now, he was dead too.

He didn’t have many enemies, but Li Zehao and Zhang Tai were two of them. He had already learned from Yue Feng that Zhang Tai had died on the battlefield.

Now that Li Zehao was dead, his two greatest enemies were both gone.

He felt an unusual sense of relief.

"Dean, you can come out now!"

He then called out calmly toward the distant forest.

WHOOSH!!

In an instant, three afterimages flickered within the empty forest, and three figures abruptly appeared in his line of sight.

CLAP! CLAP!

Xue Zhou, the man in the middle, smiled and applauded.

"Truly magnificent, Lin Qi. You’ve really given us a huge surprise!"

"Facing an ambush of ten people—two with Sixth Realm Combat Power and eight with Fifth Realm Combat Power—you still managed to kill them all with ease."

He was currently wearing a suit of Blue Battle Armor, from which a tyrannical aura emanated.

A blue Battle Saber was fastened at his waist, emitting a chilling glint. It was a Top Level Weapon.

Beside him were Liu Ran, in a different suit of Battle Armor, and a sharp, capable-looking middle-aged man.

Liu Ran asked curiously,

"Lin Qi, how did you spot us?"

Lin Qi smiled. "Your auras were just too obvious. It wasn’t hard to notice you."

Liu Ran was startled. ’Even though we weren’t deliberately hiding, he spotted the three of us from hundreds of meters away.’

’His Perception Ability is incredibly strong.’

*Phew...*

’I only managed to discover Xue Zhou’s presence by using my Heart Eye Talent and enhancing my Perception with my Little Divine Power,’ Lin Qi thought to himself.

He let out a breath, and the Golden Sharpness enveloping his body began to recede. An intense wave of fatigue washed over him.

His body trembled uncontrollably, his muscles ached, and he could feel pain flaring up in several places.

He had fought one high-intensity battle after another, killing a Fifth-level Disaster Beast Split Claw Ape and then a Level 6 Disaster Beast Iron-Backed War Bear.

Then, he had fought a deadly battle against Li Zehao and his group of ten, and even used his Little Divine Power. The drain on his stamina was immense.

Just then, Xue Zhou took out a vial of High-Level Healing and handed it to him.

Lin Qi didn’t stand on ceremony. He opened it and drank it down.

GLUG~

After he drank it, the fatigue in his body began to slowly fade, and his strength started to return.

THUMP! THUMP!!

His heart began to beat powerfully once more, his blood flowing faster and speeding up his body’s metabolism.

Lin Qi sat down on the corpse of a Split Claw Ape and pointed at the bodies of Li Zehao and Yu Jing. "What’s the deal with them?"

"Why did they suddenly attack me?"

"Didn’t they know that if they killed me, they wouldn’t get out alive either?"

"When did they get so brave?"

Xue Zhou also sat down beside him and began to explain.

"They weren’t brave, of course. They were being controlled."

"They chose to join the Insect God Association, didn’t they? All to improve their Martial Arts Talent."

Liu Ran sneered.

"There’s no such thing as a free lunch. How could there not be a catch to what the Insect God Association gives you?"

"The Potions they consumed were full of nanobots that could control their bodies and brainwash them."

"They were brainwashed and couldn’t control themselves."

Lin Qi said in surprise, "That powerful!"

Xue Zhou nodded in agreement. "It is indeed powerful. We humans don’t have that kind of technology yet."

"But it’s not easy to fall under their control; you have to consume their Potions."

"Besides, if your Spiritual Power is strong enough, or if you’ve comprehended a Mental Realm, you can easily control your own body and metabolize the nanobots."

Lin Qi nodded. ’So this stuff is only effective against those in the Fourth Realm. Once you break through to the Fifth Realm, it doesn’t have much of an effect.’

Xue Zhou looked at the corpses and said,

"You did a great job just now. The deaths of these ten are nothing to be lamented."

"Next, the families behind them will also be punished."

Just then, two more figures rushed over, and Lin Qi looked toward them.

It was a mild-mannered middle-aged man with Huo Wanyang in tow.

"It’s all over. All five of them have been dealt with!"

Huo Wanyang looked pale, with lingering fear in his eyes. He had been suddenly ambushed by five of his classmates.

Exhausted as he was, he was no match for them at all. If the dean hadn’t intervened, he would have been killed.

The Dean of the First Institute looked at the surrounding corpses and asked curiously,

"Well now, they really went all out for Lin Qi, sending ten people after him. This fight was a bit too intense. It doesn’t look like your handiwork, Old Xue!"

Xue Zhou laughed. "I didn’t make a move. Lin Qi did it all."

The Dean of the First Institute was shocked. "He killed ten people all by himself? He’s that strong?"

Xue Zhou said proudly, "But of course. He is the top student of our Sixth Institute, after all."

The Dean of the First Institute looked at Lin Qi, feeling incredibly envious. ’Why isn’t he a student at my institute?’

Beside them, Huo Wanyang just shook his head. ’The gap is too wide. There’s no comparison at all.’

ROAR!!

WHOOSH!!

A deep red Sparrowhawk Fighter slowly descended before them.

Xue Zhou stood up. "Let’s go. The Disaster Beast Hunting Competition is over."

Lin Qi nodded and followed them into the fighter jet.

ROAR!!

The fighter jet started up and flew off.

...

「Red Cloud Building, in a large conference room」

A massive screen was projected over the large conference table, replaying the scene of Lin Qi’s battle against Li Zehao and the other ten.

As Lin Qi activated his Little Divine Power and powerfully struck down all ten in a single move, the assembled leaders all let out a breath.

"Well done!!"

Someone couldn’t help but shout.

The others also broke into smiles.

Vice Principal Xu Wenji said with a chuckle, "Lin Qi’s growth rate is truly fast!"

"He now possesses the Combat Power of the Sixth Realm and is even capable of killing a Sixth-Level Calamity Beast."

"To face an ambush by ten people and still turn the tables and kill them all... his physical conditioning is beyond reproach."

"Once his Spear Technique improves as well, he’ll be a top expert in our entire academy."

Wu Yueze, the Vice Dean of the First Institute, nodded. "If he continues to grow, he’ll have no rivals below the Seventh Realm."

Dean Liu also said with a chuckle, "If he keeps this up, reaching the Seventh Realm is just a matter of time."

Xu Wenji continued, "Alright, it’s time to clean up the trash within the school."

"We need to thoroughly investigate not just the students, but the teachers and even the staff."

Everyone nodded. The Insect Race and the Calamity Beasts were humanity’s two greatest enemies. They all had to be purged.

A thick, murderous aura instantly filled the air.

...

「On the plaza of Fortress No. 9.」

Countless students who had already withdrawn from the competition were gathered together, chatting casually.

"I feel like I’m going to make a lot of money this time!"

"Yeah, opportunities to make money like this are rare."

"By the way, first place this time should be Lin Qi again!"

"How many Points does Lin Qi have this time?"

Someone asked a student from the Azure Sky Sixth Institute, who then projected the Sixth Institute’s Points Chart.

[First Place: Lin Qi, Points: 506,000]

[Second Place: Jiangtao, Points: 109,000]

[Third Place: Yu Jing, Points: 86,000]
