Australia Continent, outer hinterland.

In the Lianlian Mountains.

A gigantic Curved-Fang Vajra, an Advanced Lord, was covered in wounds, its flesh mangled. Then someone suddenly hurled it out of a mountain cave.

It smashed through the surrounding stone walls, sending countless fragments trembling.

Its massive body tumbled down from the mountaintop, crashing into trees and rocks as it rolled, surging like a landslide.

It carved out a long, deep trench.

Dust billowed all around.

Fang Yi held a War Halberd in one hand and supported the corpse of the dead Advanced Lord Vajra with the other, then kicked it away.

In a flash.

He shot out of the pitch-black cave, which was on the verge of collapsing, while controlling four Flying Needles behind him to fly at ten times the speed of sound.

They immediately pierced all four limbs of the Vajra, which had yet to stop rolling!

"Pfft!"

The Flying Needles pierced its arms, leaving more than ten tiny holes. Blood spurted from them, splattering all around.

"Roar!"

The Vajra cried out in pain, but there was nothing it could do except roar in fury.

All that awaited it was the swiftly sweeping War Halberd—and the fear in its own eyes.

"Slash!"

The Vajra's head fell to the ground, and a torrent of beast blood poured from its severed neck.

Its huge body collapsed limply. It twitched briefly, then lay still.

"Did you think I wouldn't find you just because you hid deep inside a cave? How naive."

Fang Yi had pursued the two Lords for quite some time before killing them.

With the help of his Double Pupil Eyes, which let him analyze the surrounding space, he quickly located their lair. He also discovered more than a dozen Vajra young hidden inside, each at Intermediate War General Level.

You couldn't afford to go soft when killing monsters. They certainly wouldn't go soft when killing people!

After Fang Yi entered the cave, he casually blocked the entrance.

He opened his Double Pupil Eyes again to analyze the surrounding space. Only after confirming that not one had escaped and that he had killed them all did he go after the injured, panicked Vajra.

Fang Yi controlled several double-edged Flying Needles.

He cut off all the valuable parts of the two Vajras.

After gathering the materials, he used his wristwatch to record the information and send their coordinates to the Training Camp staff.

They would dispatch someone to collect the items within twelve hours.

He buried the materials, then left a marker.

"Onward."

The Flying Sword hovered in the air. Fang Yi stepped onto it again and continued searching for Lord Rank monsters, using his Double Pupil Eyes to analyze the surroundings.

March 28.

Luo Feng and Heng Xia arrived at the Training Camp entrance with Yang Hui.

One would enter the Elite Training Camp, the other the Ordinary Training Camp. Though the two camps were different, both were powerful places for Limit Dojo members to grow.

As soon as they reached the Training Camp entrance,

the two spotted a gigantic Dragon Sculpture. The moment they looked at it—

An endless, dark pressure surged over them!

They only gradually came to their senses when Yang Hui gave a sharp shout.

"It's just a sculpture, and you're already scared?"

Sweat beaded on Luo Feng's forehead. The pressure he felt from the Dragon Sculpture was even more terrifying than the Iron-Armored Dragon's.

Once the two had steadied themselves, they also noticed

that there were small display screens on the Black Dragon's scales, each showing a name.

The first name looked especially familiar.

"No. 1 Fang Yi (561000)"

"No. 2 Renatus & Bridge (540601)"

"No. 3 Chu Qiang (540601)"

Luo Feng stared at the first name, and Fang Yi immediately came to mind. A clap of thunder seemed to explode in his head.

Was this Fang Yi the Fang Yi he knew?

Heng Xia, beside him, was the first to ask, "Is the Fang Yi in first place the same Fang Yi who was especially famous in the Limit Dojo before?"

Yang Hui heard him and smiled proudly. "That's right. He's the freakishly talented young man our Limit Dojo discovered. Oh, he's the Fang Yi who was in the same class as you, Luo Feng."

"By the way, everyone on this ranking is a top genius from somewhere in the world. They're ranked from highest to lowest by Combat Power points. Fang Yi had only been at the Elite Training Camp for half a month when he broke into the top twenty, setting a new record."

Luo Feng was utterly stunned.

But when he thought back to his encounters with Fang Yi, his mood quickly settled.

Fang Yi was a genius among geniuses. Whatever he did or achieved now, nothing about it seemed all that surprising.

"Your senior, Fang Yi, claimed first place in his very first month of formal martial training and has remained at the top ever since. By the way, he only left for an adventure on Australia Continent on the twentieth. Otherwise, you might have met him."

As Yang Hui spoke, he led the two into the Training Camp.

He also told them that Fang Yi's terrifying growth had even earned him a personal summons from Hall Master Hong.

"Coo-coo!"

"Coo-coo!"

Monkey calls echoed through the canyon. Looking out, one could see all kinds of ape-like monsters throughout the gorge.

Fang Yi scanned and analyzed the area with his Double Pupil Eyes.

He quickly figured out how many monsters were nearby and where the ten thousand apes had made their lair.

"Three Advanced Lords, two Intermediate Lords, several hundred Advanced Beast Generals, and several thousand monsters ranging from Intermediate Beast Generals down to basic Beast Soldiers."

After confirming their numbers and exact locations,

Fang Yi stood on his Flying Sword and immediately flew toward the center of the canyon.

Nearby,

the apes keeping watch spotted Fang Yi and immediately sounded the alarm. In an instant, every ape-like monster in the gorge went on alert.

A Great Demonic Ape, an Advanced Lord, suddenly awoke. "Roar!"

Its furious roar echoed through the gorge.

Then its enormous form leaped from inside a thousand-year-old tree and landed in front of Fang Yi. It spread its massive arms, as if it meant to block out the sky and moon!

Deep in the canyon,

the other two Lord Rank ape monsters also charged out.

Fang Yi instead flew toward the ground first, drawing the Great Demonic Ape and the other two Lord Rank monsters together.

Fang Yi weaved through the canyon's dense trees and vegetation.

The Great Demonic Ape behind him leaped and rolled as it gave chase.

As he neared a cave entrance, the other two Lord Rank Great Demonic Apes charged out at the same time, as if they meant to trap Fang Yi and hem him in.

But Fang Yi suddenly stomped on his Flying Sword and came to an abrupt halt.

"Roar!"

All three Advanced Lord Great Demonic Apes attacked in a fury, but Fang Yi's sudden stop made them miss.

They plunged into a shallow pool.

Fang Yi spun his War Halberd, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"Now none of you are getting away."

Before the three Great Demonic Apes could react, Flying Needles shot out from inside the sword beneath Fang Yi's feet and pierced toward them.

The Flying Needles streaked past like Flowing Light, repeatedly piercing the Great Apes. The wounds they inflicted weren't small, and the attacks came too quickly for the monsters to endure. The needles struck again and again at their cervical vertebrae, spinal cords, and joints.

The Flying Needles moved at several times the speed of sound, and Creation Divine Light clung to them, greatly increasing their toughness and density.

Fang Yi only needed to swing his War Halberd to kill all three Great Demonic Apes!

The apes' heads fell one after another. Even in death, their faces showed disbelief and terror.

The terrifying display

frightened all the ape-like monsters nearby.

Seeing their Lords killed by this human in seconds, they fled in panic, terrified out of their wits. Fang Yi watched the escaping apes, with no intention of letting them go.

"Where do you think you're going?"

With that,

Fang Yi stood on his Flying Sword, hovering at the highest point of the canyon.

A thin black flame spread across his right Double Pupil Eye, its blaze made up of countless mysterious runes. Then it gathered into a beam of light.

It shot out in an instant!

The terrifying beam of black flame pierced several Advanced War General apes. Then the black flames in Fang Yi's Double Pupil Eye spread and swept onward, killing every monster in sight.

The moment the black flame beams burned through the monsters, they pierced and dissolved them, reducing them to nothing.

Nearby,

the ancient trees, rocks, plants, and other parts of the natural environment were also consumed by the unceasing black flames.

The canyon echoed with the agonized cries of the apes.

It was like hell on earth.

The sight was enough to make anyone's heart tremble!
