After trying it once, Su You shifted his target to Intermediate Beast Soldiers. He used the same method and took the full force of a Intermediate Beast Soldier Tiger Cat's charge.
This time, he was sent flying even farther. His blood and energy churned, but his body remained unharmed. The Eight-Nine Profound Art's protective effect was downright terrifying.
Su You drew his sword and dealt with the Tiger Cat as it charged again. "Next, an Advanced Beast Soldier."
On a street not far from where Su You was, a small monster was bounding along. Its fur was pure white, but a deep wound on its belly had stained the surrounding fur red.
The monster kept leaping, covering an enormous distance with each bound. It was unbelievably fast.
More than a hundred meters behind it, a petite figure raced after it, stepping across one building after another. She was every bit as fast as the monster.
Meanwhile, Su You wove through a herd of Alpacas with Lingbo Microsteps. After more than ten consecutive sword strikes, only one Advanced Beast Soldier remained.
"Baa—" The Advanced Beast Soldier Alpaca charged forward, both horns pointed ahead as it rushed straight at Su You.
Su You had just raised his hands to defend himself when he noticed a Snow Rabbit approaching from the side, nearly at the Intermediate Beast General level. But the Snow Rabbit paid him no attention; with a single leap, it bounded a great distance away.
Su You jumped in fright, thinking the Snow Rabbit was about to attack him. He hadn't expected it to run off instead.
By then, the Alpaca was only five or six meters away. Su You shifted position to avoid its horns and prepared to take the full force of its charge.
"Pfft!" A Flying Dagger shot like lightning into the Alpaca's neck from the side. The blow knocked it off course, and it charged past Su You's right side for more than ten meters before crashing to the ground.
"?" Su You looked at the petite figure chasing the Snow Rabbit and slowly formed a question mark.
"I went to all that trouble to find an Advanced Beast Soldier to test myself against, and you killed it with one Flying Dagger? What did I ever do to you, Zhang Yue?" Su You burned with indignation, almost wishing he could grab her and spank her.
"Wait, something's not right!" Su You realized that Zhang Yue had seen the Alpaca about to crash into him before she'd killed it with her Flying Dagger.
"So Zhang Yue thought she was saving me?" Su You couldn't help rolling his eyes at the sky.
"Everyone else gets a hero rescuing a beauty. How come I'm the one getting rescued by a beauty?" Su You grumbled to himself.
"But this is a good thing, too. Now I have a reason to visit her." Su You grinned and pulled the Flying Dagger from the Advanced Beast Soldier Alpaca's neck.
"With this, surely she won't keep me from coming inside. Then I can thank her for saving my life, and after a few visits, we'll get to know each other, right?"
Su You daydreamed happily, his anger already long gone.
After collecting the materials from several Intermediate Beast Soldier Alpacas, Su You left to find another Advanced Beast Soldier to test himself against.
As for the materials from the Advanced Beast Soldier Alpaca, they were Zhang Yue's spoils, and he couldn't take them. Otherwise, it might be considered a private transaction.
According to the Training Camp's rules, helping another student increase their battle record points was forbidden. Since Zhang Yue had killed the Alpaca, only she could collect its materials.
Because of this rule, plenty of students with grudges against each other in the Training Camp stole one another's prey. This sort of troublemaking didn't violate the Training Camp's rules.
Before long, Su You found an Advanced Beast Soldier-level Mangniu. He took the full force of its charge and was sent flying more than thirty meters, smashing through two walls in succession. When he landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Su You quickly got to his feet and retreated sideways. A flash of swordlight streaked by, and a cloud of blood burst from the Mangniu's neck.
The Mangniu's charge had made him spit up blood, but the injury was minor and had little effect on his fighting strength.
"Even the charges of monsters at my level barely affect me. With my movement technique, as long as I don't take a direct hit from a Beast General-level monster, I can venture into a herd led by an Elementary Beast General!"
At Su You's current strength, killing Advanced Beast Soldiers was the fastest way to raise his battle record points. Intermediate Beast Soldiers were worth too little, while Elementary Beast Generals were too complicated to deal with.
Students at the Training Camp with the physical fitness of Advanced Warriors usually looked for Advanced Beast Soldiers that were alone or had only two or three followers nearby. But that kind of efficiency was a little too low for Su You.
These thoughts flashed through Su You's mind, and he quickly made up his mind.
His movement technique had reached the level of Great Accomplishment in Subtlety, so the danger to him was already low. His body could also withstand the impact of an Advanced Beast Soldier, giving him another layer of protection. As long as he dodged the attacks of Beast General-level monsters, he could move through a herd as though no monsters were there.
Without another thought, Su You went straight to the rooftop of a nearby hotel and began choosing his next hunting target.
At around eight-thirty that evening, Su You ran toward the outskirts of the city with a bulging backpack on his back. Thanks to the special properties of the Eight-Nine Profound Art, his stamina and energy far surpassed those of martial artists at the same level. Even after fighting all day, he still had plenty left.
Seven or eight minutes later, Su You reached the place he'd left that morning. There was only one vehicle left now, and he walked straight over to it.
There were only three students in the vehicle. Su You glanced at them and saw that he didn't know any of them, so he went directly to the counter at the front of the carriage. This was where they bought monster materials and recorded battle record points.
A beam of light swept over Su You, instantly identifying him.
A staff member from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall pointed to a large metal basin nearby and said with a smile,
"Hello, Student Su You. Please pour the materials from the monsters you hunted in here."
Su You nodded slightly, took off his backpack, loosened the drawstring, and emptied its contents into the basin.
The staff member opened a nearby case, took out some tools, and began scanning the monster materials one by one. The name, quality, price, and battle record points awarded for each material all appeared on a screen nearby.
"The total is 35 million Huaxia Currency. Contribution points: points. Battle record points: 1,814."
Su You nodded. He wasn't particularly surprised by the high price. Five of the materials he'd brought in came from Elementary Beast Generals; each one would sell for more than ten million through the HR Alliance.
He'd fought his way through five monster herds that day. After his swordsmanship broke through to the Proficient level, he was able to suppress Elementary Beast General-level monsters. And with his movement technique at Great Accomplishment in Subtlety, he could make use of every part of the surrounding environment.
The large number of Beast Soldier-level monsters hadn't posed a threat to him. Instead, they'd hindered the Beast General-level monsters. It was only through the combination of all these factors that Su You had been able to kill the Elementary Beast General-level monsters one by one.
