Lin Mu naturally would not give it a chance to escape.
Almost the instant he reached it, the wooden stick in his hand came crashing down.
A berserk offensive erupted at that moment.
The Wolf King let out a pained howl, blood gushing from its body.
At that moment, Lin Mu threw aside the broken wooden stick, clenched one hand into a fist, and smashed it fiercely into the Wolf King.
Bursts of Dragon's Roar rang out.
Under the Dragon Roar Fist, the Wolf King's aura rapidly dissipated.
The surrounding wild wolves were filled with terror at the sight.
They were Fierce Beasts to begin with and possessed a measure of intelligence.
Even the Wolf King had fallen; how could they possibly be Lin Mu's match?
However, Lin Mu did not kill the Wolf King outright. Instead, he severely wounded it before charging toward the wild wolves.
Though the wild wolves feared Lin Mu, the Wolf King was not yet dead, so they would not leave lightly.
They were creatures with extremely strong obedience.
As long as their leader remained, they would fight until the very last moment.
One wild wolf after another died at Lin Mu's hands, while his points continued to rise.
About ten minutes later, a great number of wild wolves had died at Lin Mu's hands.
The already heavily wounded Wolf King saw this and died on the spot, its fury attacking its heart.
Lin Mu stretched his waist, a faintly content expression on his face.
After killing so many Fierce Beasts in succession, his points had surely risen considerably.
With that thought, Lin Mu headed forward.
Bai Mo caught up to him.
"Wait!"
Lin Mu turned to look at her. "What is it?"
"Y-you... what's your name?"
"Lin Mu!"
"My name is Bai Mo. Can we get acquainted?"
"There's no need for that," Lin Mu said.
Hearing this, Bai Mo's expression changed slightly.
She was a beauty, after all. How could the man before her be so cold?
"You should be trying to secure a ranking, right?" Bai Mo called again.
Lin Mu stopped walking. "So?"
"I can help you!"
Bai Mo said.
"I know this place very well. With my help, you can definitely charge into the top ten!"
A puzzled look appeared on Lin Mu's face. "You know this place well?"
"Mm!" Bai Mo walked up to Lin Mu, took out a map, and unfolded it.
"Look, this is the terrain here. Based on the Ministry of Education's arrangements, they should have placed some powerful Fierce Beasts in this area. The terrain here is fairly complicated, and any students who can enter won't be weak!"
"Also, although your combat strength is very strong, if you want to enter the top ten, you must take down one of these Fierce Beasts!" Bai Mo explained.
"Why?" Lin Mu asked.
"Although these Fierce Beasts only have a Blood Qi Value of 3.0, they're extremely difficult to deal with, so the points awarded are also very high. Each one is worth around 1,000 points!"
"Do you think you can make it into the top ten without taking them down?" Bai Mo asked.
Lin Mu's expression shifted slightly.
He understood what Bai Mo meant.
Even though he had already slain quite a few Fierce Beasts, the others had not been idle either.
There were people in the Top Class with Blood Qi Values above 3.0.
Their speed in hunting Fierce Beasts would not be slow either.
And every one of those Fierce Beasts was worth a great many points.
If he could kill them, it would indeed increase his odds considerably.
"Besides, I don't mind telling you that the Ministry of Education people are watching this Monthly Examination too!"
"They'll provide some support to those who perform exceptionally. If you can kill these Fierce Beasts, you'll naturally earn their attention as well!" Bai Mo explained.
Lin Mu looked at her. He knew that the woman before him was definitely not simple.
To have a map of this place and even know about the Ministry of Education's deployment—
She clearly had an extraordinary background.
"Fine! Then tell me, what should I do?" Lin Mu asked.
A smile appeared on Bai Mo's face. "I know a route that can get us close to them quickly, but whether you can hunt them will depend on your ability!"
Lin Mu nodded. "No problem!"
"Which class are you in? How come I've never seen you before?"
"Class 17!"
"For Class 17 to have someone as impressive as you is unbelievable! What's your V?"
"..."
The two headed forward. Bai Mo showed immense interest in Lin Mu, continually probing for information about him.
Meanwhile, somewhere outside the forest, an old man who had been sitting in a chair and chatting merrily with a group of people had a slight change in expression.
Watching Bai Mo walk alongside Lin Mu, he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
Several old men beside him could not help teasing him a few times, making him even more unable to save face.
She was the Bai Family's granddaughter, after all. How could she be so proactive?
Did she not know how to be a little reserved?
As Lin Mu and Bai Mo moved onward, Fierce Beast after Fierce Beast died at their hands.
Bai Mo seemed uninterested in rankings and never made a move whenever they encountered a Fierce Beast.
They continued until they reached a mountain ravine.
Mountains surrounded the area, and the terrain was perilous. Without Bai Mo leading the way, Lin Mu would never have found it.
"That White Ape is one of the strongest Fierce Beasts in the entire forest. It has a Blood Qi Value of 3.1 and is incredibly nimble. Later, we'll ambush it from over there. If the two of us join forces, we can definitely take it down!" Bai Mo pointed at the White Ape hiding beneath a large tree.
The White Ape stood around two meters tall, its entire body covered in white fur. Two faint golden markings lay across its chest, its eyes held a faint crimson hue, and an exceedingly dense, ferocious aura radiated from its body.
It was clearly no ordinary Fierce Beast.
When Lin Mu saw him, his expression remained calm. He looked at Bai Mo. "Do you have a blade?"
Bai Mo nodded. With a flick of one hand, a brand-new Alloy Blade appeared in her grasp.
Lin Mu's expression shifted slightly. He knew that was a Space Bracelet, capable of storing items and extremely valuable.
With his current financial means, he simply could not afford one.
"As long as you do." Lin Mu's expression remained calm as he leaped toward the White Ape.
Bai Mo's expression changed at the sight.
That was the White Ape, with a Blood Qi Value of around 3.1. It was naturally savage and had mastered many skills. Even ordinary martial artists with a Blood Qi Value of 3.1 would find it difficult to defeat him.
Under her gaze, Lin Mu had already arrived before the White Ape.
His Blade Technique was extraordinarily exquisite, like a roaming dragon.
With shocking methods, he hacked toward it.
The White Ape noticed Lin Mu's movements and let out a roar.
Its body retreated, while streaks of pitch-black color surfaced over its two forepaws.
Fossil Fist!
One of its innate skills.
Its fists struck at Lin Mu like boulders.
Lin Mu's figure shifted and weaved as he unleashed the Flowing Dragon Steps.
The long blade in his hand danced without pause, tearing sounds continuously ringing through the air.
The White Ape released a piercing soundwave from its mouth, firing a qi arrow from its jaws.
Screech!
The air-rending sound came rushing over. In almost an instant, the qi arrow was already before Lin Mu!
