Magic's Power

"Moo~~" "Moo~~"...

The Iron-Armored Bulls were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a bizarre method of attack.

Most of the Iron-Armored Bulls died instantly when their vital points were pierced.

But quite a few still clung to life, their roars rising and falling in waves.

Nearly a hundred Earth Spike Spears shot up from underground at once. The sharp spears, four or five meters tall, could pierce straight through an Iron-Armored Bull's body in an instant. The dense forest of spears descended like a sudden disaster, leaving the herd almost completely wiped out.

[Ding: Killed an Advanced Beast Soldier Rank Iron-Armored Bull. Reward: 0.3 points.]

[Ding: Killed a Primary Beast General Rank Iron-Armored Bull. Reward: 0.4 points.]

[...]

Countless system notifications rang out in Luo Feng's mind as the points on his System Panel skyrocketed.

"Now that's satisfying! This magic really is the god of group attacks."

Luo Feng was overjoyed. The magic's "casting time" was indeed a little long, but its power hadn't disappointed him.

Luo Feng swooped down and finished off the gravely wounded Iron-Armored Bulls that were still barely alive.

They were completely powerless to fight back.

After quickly killing them all, Luo Feng turned his gaze toward the Iron-Armored Bull Leader in the distance.

"Moo~~"

The Iron-Armored Bull Leader had been so stunned by Luo Feng's magic that it had only snapped out of it when Luo Feng looked its way.

It let out a roar, then turned and fled, its eyes full of terror.

Once a monster reached Beast General Rank, it gained a certain degree of intelligence. Advanced Beast Generals were nearly as intelligent as humans.

The Intermediate Beast General Rank Iron-Armored Bull from earlier, for example, had known to launch a sneak attack.

This Advanced Beast General Rank leader was even cleverer. It had already realized that the human before it was a powerful Spiritual Telekinetic.

And the magic he had just unleashed had terrified it.

It had never seen such a bizarre attack before—one that could strike from underground, leaving no chance to defend against it.

And with that kind of power, even it would be gravely wounded if hit.

As it ran, the Iron-Armored Bull Leader kept its eyes on the ground, afraid that a mass of Earth Spikes might suddenly shoot up and skewer it. The stress was almost unbearable.

Watching the leader flee, Luo Feng smiled faintly.

Standing on his shield, he caught up in just a few breaths.

The Iron-Armored Bull Leader was so terrified that it barely fought back. Luo Feng quickly killed it with his flying daggers, leaving it to die in despair.

These were S-Rank Flying Daggers, after all.

They consumed a great deal of spiritual energy when used to kill monsters, but there was no doubting their sharpness.

Then Luo Feng quickly began gathering the spoils.

This area was the Iron-Armored Bulls' territory, with almost no other monsters nearby. But if he stayed too long, the smell of blood might attract more monsters.

Luo Feng had already used up quite a bit of his Spiritual Telekinesis, so he naturally didn't dare linger.

He quickly began collecting the spoils.

Besides the most valuable parts of the Iron-Armored Bulls—their horns—

the herd had also dropped quite a few good pieces of equipment.

The ordinary Iron-Armored Bulls had dropped:

[Iron-Armored Bull Boots: Grade 5 Battle Boots, made from Iron-Armored Bull hide.]

[Iron-Armored Bull Leather Armor: Grade 6 Leather Armor, made from Iron-Armored Bull hide.]

[Iron-Armored Bull Blade: Grade 6 Battle Blade, forged from the essence of Iron-Armored Bull horns. Exceptionally sharp.]

The hundreds of Iron-Armored Bulls had dropped seven pieces of equipment in total.

That was a much higher drop rate than for H-Class Monsters.

And the equipment dropped by the system was even better than ordinary gear on the market.

A normal Grade 5 piece of equipment could sell for six million Huaxia Currency through the HR Alliance, while Grade 6 gear went for twenty million.

Luo Feng was sure the gear dropped by the system could fetch even higher prices.

Iron-Armored Bull horns from Advanced Beast Soldiers were worth 8,000 Yuan. They weren't worth much.

But those from Primary Beast General Rank monsters were worth 14 million.

Those from Intermediate Beast General Rank monsters were worth a whopping 50 million.

And those were only the smaller prizes. The biggest one was the Iron-Armored Bull Leader, an Advanced Beast General.

Its pair of horns alone was worth 400 million.

To Luo Feng's surprise, the leader had dropped something else too: an Iron-Armored Bull Battle Blade.

It was a Grade 7 Battle Blade, blood-red like the Iron-Armored Bull's horns. Cold light gleamed along its edge, and a red glow seemed to flow across its surface, giving it an almost lively quality.

It looked even more imposing than the Grade 6 Blood Shadow Battle Blade the system had rewarded him with before, and its material was clearly much tougher.

Without hesitation, Luo Feng equipped the "Light Weapon."

After swinging it a few times, he found it very easy to handle.

Besides the Grade 7 Iron-Armored Battle Blade, the leader had also dropped a ball of light. Luo Feng picked it up and checked its description.

[Iron-Armored Bull Meat: The essence of an Iron-Armored Bull. Consuming it grants 8 experience points. (Note: This experience can only be used to improve physical fitness.)]

Without hesitation, Luo Feng ate the meat in one bite. It melted in his mouth, and warm currents immediately coursed through his body. His physical strength noticeably increased a little.

After packing everything up, Luo Feng left and found a dilapidated six-story building. He darted inside to tend to his injuries and recover.

He also took the opportunity to review what he had gained from the battle.

He had earned a total of 200 points from this one battle alone.

The materials and equipment were worth around two billion Huaxia Currency in total, about as much as he'd get for killing a Lord-level Monster.

And he'd also eaten the bull meat, gaining 8 experience points.

He'd gotten rich overnight. Even most Primary War Gods probably couldn't make money as fast as he could.

Luo Feng opened the System Panel and checked his current attributes.

[Luo Feng: Junior War General. Spiritual Telekinetic: Advanced War General (17/160 experience)]

[Blade Technique: Basic (97/100 experience)]

[Movement Technique: Micro-Level (236/500 experience)]

[Nine-Layered Thunder Blade: Second Layer (29/640 experience)]

[Azure Dragon Bloodline concentration: 0.07% (Can evolve)]

[Points: 259]

"Hm?"

Looking at the attribute panel, Luo Feng quickly noticed something unusual.

In just this short time, his level attribute had increased by 4 points, his Blade Technique by 8, his Movement Technique by 8, and his Nine-Layered Thunder Blade by a whopping 29.

All of that had increased naturally. He hadn't spent any points.

When he'd previously slaughtered low-level monsters, none of his attributes had ever improved.

He'd only been able to improve them by spending points.

But this battle...

No wonder the elite students of the Limit Martial Arts Hall in the original story went through life-and-death training every year. When the pressure was high enough, progress really did come quickly.

Looks like I should seek out powerful opponents when I get the chance and hone myself properly, drawing out my potential. In the future, I shouldn't just rely on the system to spend points without thinking.

I should improve through both the system and my own efforts. That way, I'll build a stronger foundation and level up even faster.

During the battle, Luo Feng had only gained the slightest feel for the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, yet his experience had shot up by 29 points.

He could only imagine how much he would gain if, like in the original story, he suddenly achieved enlightenment. It would probably jump by several hundred points in one go.

That was even faster than gaining experience from killing monsters.
