Kill! Provincial Top Scorer Secured!

"Going Berserk right from the start. Looks like it really can't wait to kill me."

Xu Jingming clicked his tongue in amazement.

Rare and high-level ferocious beasts often possessed abilities similar to human Battle Techniques.

Berserk was one of the more common abilities possessed by ferocious beasts.

According to research,

while Berserk was active, the little intelligence ferocious beasts possessed would be completely erased, turning them into killing machines that acted solely on instinct.

In exchange, a ferocious beast's physical strength would be greatly enhanced while in a Berserk state.

Under normal circumstances, ferocious beasts would only activate Berserk when fighting for their lives.

Yet the battle had only just begun, and the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear had immediately gone Berserk.

It was clearly furious over Xu Jingming's earlier dog-walking stunt.

"Still, I'm not an idiot. Whether you've gone Berserk or not, I won't face you head-on."

Xu Jingming's Qi-Blood was originally as high as 180 points, and with the boost from Cell Activation, it surged even further. His strength was astonishing!

Even so, he had no intention of clashing head-on with the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear.

He was only 1.86 meters tall, while the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear was now over six meters tall. Competing in strength with it would be suicidal.

"The best approach is still to rely on agility."

In a flash of lightning, Xu Jingming's spear-wielding figure blurred and vanished from where he stood.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear instinctively sensed something was wrong. Before it could react, a sharp pain shot through its leg!

Slash—

A huge, razor-sharp gash crackling with Purple Lightning Arcs suddenly split open across the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's left leg!

Splat~~~

Bright red blood erupted from the artery in its leg like a geyser!!

"Roar!"

In pain, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear swung its massive fist down at the tiny human figure by its feet.

Compared to the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's height of over six meters, Xu Jingming, at only 1.86 meters, was clearly far more agile.

On top of that, Purple Heaven Divine Lightning continuously stimulated every cell in his body, providing him with an endless stream of power.

Under such circumstances, Xu Jingming's agility was terrifying!

Thus, before the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's fist could reach him, Xu Jingming had already dodged to its right leg.

Compared to Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, the sharp Black Obsidian Spear was clearly more effective at breaking through its defenses.

So Xu Jingming repeated the same move, sweeping his spear across and leaving a long wound on the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's right leg.

At this point, the clumsy Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear had not even managed to catch sight of him!

"Roar!!!"

The excruciating pain from the wounds in both legs drove the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear into a frenzy. It waved its bear paws wildly, launching indiscriminate attacks!

However, Xu Jingming had already retreated to the side!

Boom, boom, boom!!

Like an enraged demolition machine, the crazed Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear smashed many of the ferocious beast corpses around it into pulp.

At that moment, Xu Jingming pushed Purple Heaven Divine Lightning to its limit!

Countless bolts of purple lightning burst from his body and struck the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear had already been slower than Xu Jingming. Now that both its legs were injured, it was even slower than before.

Although it had lost all intelligence in its Berserk state, its basic instincts remained. It knew the lightning could not deal it a fatal blow.

So it simply curled up where it stood and assumed a defensive posture.

Crackle~~

Boom, boom, boom~~

Purple Heaven Divine Lightning bombarded it for over half a minute!

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's grayish-white fur had all been blasted charred black!

"That should be enough."

Xu Jingming flashed forward and appeared less than three meters in front of the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear.

A distance of three meters required only a small step for the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear to attack.

However, just as it moved its legs, intending to vent its fury on the tiny human before it,

it discovered in shock that its legs seemed to have vanished. They would not obey it at all!

What frightened it even more was that its arms had become unbearably heavy, and it could no longer lift them!

"You took over half a minute of my Purple Heaven Divine Lightning. Did you really think nothing would happen?"

Xu Jingming shook his head.

Though the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's fur possessed formidable defense, the Black Obsidian Spear had already broken through its defenses at both legs.

During the bombardment over the past half-minute, although much of the lightning had been blocked,

quite a bit of it had still entered the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's body through its wounds, paralyzing its nerves.

And that was exactly the effect Xu Jingming wanted.

"If you can't move, then you're a living target."

Gripping his spear, Xu Jingming began his counterattack!

The fifty-kilogram Black Obsidian Spear whirled through the air, its lightning-wreathed spearhead striking again and again!

Splat!

Splat!

Wrapped in purple lightning from head to toe and enveloped in the ancient primal aura of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, Xu Jingming looked like a god at that moment.

His spear became a blur. In merely three or four seconds, it left dozens of bowl-sized wounds across the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's body!!

Countless arcs of lightning flickered within the wounds, inflicting secondary damage.

If it had been an ordinary ferocious beast, it would have been dead beyond doubt!

But for a Second-Order Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear over six meters tall, with thick hide and tough flesh, these wounds were merely minor injuries.

It was then that the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear suddenly realized that feeling had returned to its arms!

Just as a savage grin spread across its enormous bear face and it prepared to counterattack,

the human in front of it leaped into the air, rising level with its chest. His cold black-and-white eyes were incomparably calm.

At the same time, a low and imposing voice rang out beside its ear: "Lightning Gale Slash!"

Amid a thunderous roar, the Black Spear erupted with a wave of lightning energy so terrifying that it filled the bear with fear!

It instinctively tried to raise its arms to block, but it was already too late!

Then, with a boom, the wounded Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear suffered its most devastating blow yet!!

Violent purple lightning erupted from its chest, and the tremendous impact sent it flying backward like a cannonball!

Rumble...

It did not stop until it smashed through the ruined flower bed in the center and plowed a ditch more than ten meters long into the ground.

A charred black hole had been blasted into the left side of its chest!

The heart that had once been there had been obliterated, leaving only lingering purple lightning swirling within.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear could feel its strength rapidly draining away and its consciousness gradually blurring.

It instinctively tried to rise, staggering to its feet.

Before it could take its first step, it collapsed to the ground with a boom.

This terrifying ferocious beast, capable of destroying a small town, completely lost all signs of life at that moment.

'Ding~, you have killed one Second-Order Low-Level Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear. Ability Points +24.'

Hearing the system notification, Xu Jingming, standing with his spear in hand, finally let out a breath. "It's finally over."

That battle had nearly pushed his current strength to its limits!

Although the battle had lasted less than two minutes, the intense fighting and the constant mental strain had left even his 180 points of Qi-Blood and mental strength struggling to hold up.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Of course,

even if that entire chain of attacks had failed to kill it, Xu Jingming still had a backup plan.

He could use Ability Points again to raise his basic attributes.

It could be said that the more than two thousand Ability Points sitting on his system panel had sealed the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's fate from the very beginning.

Xu Jingming exited his Cell Activation state. The lightning filling his eyes vanished, and he withdrew the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning surrounding his body.

Without Purple Heaven Divine Lightning's enhancement, Xu Jingming immediately felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

But he knew this weakness was merely the illusion caused by his power receding. In reality, he had only returned to the strength he possessed before activating Cell Activation.

"Now that I've killed every ferocious beast in the Innermost Core Area, I wonder how many points I have."

Xu Jingming opened his Smart Watch and checked his score:

'First place, Xu Jingming, 10,835 points (Jiang City Second High School)

Second place, Zhou Mingyang, 1,103 points (Jiang City First High School)

Third place, Wu Hao, 945 points (Jiang City First High School)

...'

"Over ten thousand points!"

Though he had expected it, Xu Jingming was still stunned by the score.

After the shock passed, a delighted smile appeared on his face.

"As expected, the ferocious beasts in the Innermost Core Area are worth the most points."

"If I remember correctly, Jiangnan Province's highest score last year was only a little over eight thousand, right? Doesn't that mean I've already secured the title of Provincial Top Scorer in advance?"
