Big Moves Guarantee, Crazy Harvesting

"So deep!"

Shi Yan's dagger was almost worn out, but he still hadn't found the Lava Spirit Devouring Saber.

Seeing his stamina greatly depleted, he had to stop and rest.

He opened the leaderboard and found that it had changed again.

He was still in first place, but second to fourth were now occupied by those three from Jiangnan High School No. 1.

All three had a score of eight hundred.

"No, I can't let this continue."

Shi Yan frowned. The three geniuses cooperating were very efficient at killing Demonic Beasts.

By the time he dug up the saber, many Second-Order Demonic Beasts might have already been killed.

The spiritual energy eruption here didn't last long, and the number of Second-Order Demonic Beasts born was limited. If others killed them all, he would have nothing left to kill.

Killing Demonic Beasts beyond one's own level yielded great rewards. Opportunities to earn Martial Virtue Points like this would be rare in the future.

"I'm going all out!"

He stared at the large pit he had dug, gritting his teeth slightly.

The Southern Bright Blazing Fire was a purifying flame. He wanted to try if it could burn through the soil as well.

But if he did that, his special ability would be discovered.

Everyone knew that the Martial Arts Examination was being broadcast live.

But so what if they knew?

In a world where martial arts reigned supreme, one had to acquire massive resources to improve.

Resources didn't fall from the sky; they had to be obtained!

And showcasing one's strength and talent was one way to do that!

Hiding his strength was something for later, when he was navigating the world. Not now.

He clapped his palms together, and the white Southern Bright Blazing Fire gushed out.

A white light flashed, instantly illuminating the area as if it were daytime.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The sound of short-circuiting wires suddenly rang out. Above the white light, several disc-shaped flying machines appeared.

They wobbled, sparks flying from them, looking as if they would fall at any moment.

At the same time.

Outside the examination venue, the screen showing Shi Yan suddenly flickered and then went blank.

Because Shi Yan was in first place, his screen was the largest.

When this malfunction occurred, everyone saw it.

"After a flash of white light, the screen went out. What did Shi Yan do?"

"What kind of fire is that? It seems to have burned out the equipment."

"This child's future achievements are limitless."

"This scene looks so familiar."

Mo Changfeng sighed with emotion. It was Shi Yan who had broken the force-measuring instrument back then.

It was also because he had mentioned Shi Yan burning the instrument with his flames that the curator had given Shi Yan that saber.

"The Martial Arts Examination has people saving lives, but this is the first time someone has saved a machine."

Commander Luo Hai waved his hand, and the few wobbly disc-shaped machines disappeared in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were at his feet.

Lin Ye, who was waiting nearby, took out a new instrument from his spatial equipment without waiting for Luo Hai's command and then flew up.

In just over ten seconds, the screen showing Shi Yan reappeared on the big screen.

People saw that Shi Yan was now holding the saber.

But everyone's attention was not on the saber, but on a large pit in front of Shi Yan.

It was a pit burning with flames, four to five meters deep and about ten meters wide. The surrounding soil was scorched red, and the intense heat could be felt even through the screen.

"A First-Order Warrior caused this?!"

Seeing the large pit, the shock Shi Yan had caused by killing Second-Order Demonic Beasts was greatly diminished.

This level of destruction would require at least a Third-Order Warrior!

And it would have to be a warrior with at least an A-class Supernatural Ability, known for their attack power.

No, even a Third-Order Warrior might not be able to do this. A Third-Order Warrior might be able to create such a pit, but they definitely wouldn't be able to turn the soil into magma.

"This child is terrifying!"

"It seems the four famous schools will be fighting tooth and nail to recruit him."

Lin Ye returned to Luo Hai's side, whispering softly.

He himself had been the top scorer in the Martial Arts Examination back then, and the scene of the four famous schools vying for him was still vivid in his memory.

Shi Yan's performance today was even more astonishing than his own. It would be strange if the four famous schools didn't come to blows.

"Huh? Still going in?"

The next moment, Lin Ye's brows furrowed into the character '川'.

Logically, after creating such a huge scene, Shi Yan should have been severely depleted and ended the exam early.

But not only did he show no signs of coming out, he was instead heading deeper into the core area.

And he was moving quickly, looking quite anxious.

What was this kid trying to do?

"System, add points!"

Shi Yan's mind stirred, and his nearly depleted Blood Essence was instantly replenished.

The feeling of weakness vanished completely.

His muscles were a bit sore, though.

But it didn't affect him much, and his confidence was even higher now.

So this was the power of unleashing all his Supernatural Abilities at once.

He had abandoned his previous idea of a gradual approach.

With this ultimate move, even if several Second-Order Demonic Beasts attacked him, they would still die.

Even if they didn't die, he still had Martial Virtue Points to replenish his Blood Essence.

"Isn't this a bit unreasonable..."

According to the information he had obtained, Shi Yan arrived at a valley after half an hour.

A stream gurgled, reflecting specks of light under the moonlight.

A faint scent of wine wafted through the air, causing Shi Yan's nose to twitch involuntarily.

"There really is Monkey Wine."

According to Liu Wang's intelligence, there was a group of monkeys here that hid Monkey Wine.

He just didn't know how many had become Demonic Beasts due to the spiritual energy surge this time.

Shi Yan kicked a large tree nearby, creating a huge noise.

Then he shouted, "I've come for you!"

His voice boomed out, startling the surroundings into action.

In just over ten seconds, more than a dozen ape-like creatures, taller than Shi Yan's one meter eighty, emerged from the forest and appeared before him.

They bared their fangs, their eyes were blood-red, and they danced with excitement.

Having become Demonic Beasts, Warriors were naturally delicious food in their eyes.

At the command of the leading Monkey Demon, they formed a circle and closed in on Shi Yan.

"What a pity, only three are Second-Order."

Shi Yan was slightly disappointed, then stepped forward and crouched, gripping his saber hilt tightly with both hands.

This time, he had learned his lesson and didn't activate his abilities prematurely, lest he scare away these Monkey Demons like the Snake Demon before.

In a flash, as Shi Yan adopted a defensive stance, a black claw swept past his head.

Then came a second claw, aiming for his groin.

And a gaping maw lunged towards the back of his neck.

Each move was deadly.

"Hmph!"

Shi Yan snorted coldly, and the saber in his hand swung rapidly.

Swish, swish, swish!

Eighteen saber shadows appeared like phantoms, landing all around him.

Three furry arms were severed and flew through the air, accompanied by screams.

The Explosive Flame Eighteen Sabers emphasized explosive power and speed, and clearly, his saber was faster.

It was just that his swordsmanship wasn't refined enough, requiring eighteen strikes to injure the enemy.

Fortunately, his reaction was quick. Taking advantage of the Monkey Demons' pain from their severed limbs, he lunged forward and stabbed the Monkey Demon that had gone for his "monkey business."

Then, drawing his saber, he thrust it backward, piercing the heart of the monkey demon that had tried to bite his neck.

Just as he was about to strike another, he saw the moonlight obscured as the remaining monkey demons leaped from the trees together, pressing down on him.

"Good."

Shi Yan stopped pretending and unleashed the Southern Bright Blazing Fire once more.
