Military Merit Points Ranking
At that moment, a tall girl from the Special Enrollment Student in Sunan Province took a step forward.
"They're truly traitors, enjoying the resources of Sunan Province, yet when it's time to contribute to Sunan Province, they go and help Special Enrollment Student from other provinces."
As she spoke, the tall girl glanced at a man from Sunan Province standing next to her and said, "Don't you think so?"
The Special Enrollment Student was just a member of the Sunan Province Genius Training Camp, so of course he couldn't afford to offend the members of the Genius Group and could only stammer and brush it off.
"Go tell Captain Yue that Ruan Liusu is a traitor who neglects her own duties and military training to help a poor province."
"This----"
"What? Does my word not carry Bai Xianxian?"
The tall girl's face turned cold.
"I'll go right away, I'll go right away!"
The Special Enrollment Student immediately jogged to the Shelter was ten kilometers away.
Bai Xianxian glanced coldly at the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province who was hunting Exotic Beast, then walked away with her arms crossed.
After hunting down the twenty Exotic Beast, Chen Lie and the other two groups of East River Province members recovered their strength and then summoned the four Blood-Qi Extreme Realm.
"You've already become familiar with the techniques for hunting Exotic Beast, so you can act alone this afternoon."
Hunt as many Exotic Beast as you can, and I'll make up the rest. Just make sure there are no casualties.
I want to go and take a look around, about ten kilometers away from the Shelter.
"Good!"
Luo Zhixun and Wang Dongting responded one after another.
Ruan Liusu then approached Chen Liedao and asked, "Are you going ten kilometers away from the Shelter?"
"Yes!" Chen Lie nodded.
"There are traces of Tier 2 Exotic Beast ten kilometers away, but with your strength, if the two of us cooperate well, we do have a chance to hunt down Tier 2 Exotic Beast."
Chen Lie nodded, and after giving instructions to the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province, he continued forward with Ruan Liusu.
It took Chen Lie almost half an hour to reach a place ten kilometers away from the Shelter.
A huge warning sign was erected at the dividing line.
The warning sign reads, "More than 10 kilometers from the Shelter. This is a dangerous area within the Military Training Ground. Beware of Tier 2 Exotic Beast."
"There are flying Exotic Beast in the danger zone. Please be careful of attacks from flying Exotic Beast."
Chen Lie saw the warning sign and couldn't help but ask, "Are there flying Exotic Beast here?"
"Yes, flying Exotic Beast are terrifying. Even a single Tier 1 flying Exotic Beast poses a far greater threat to the Special Enrollment Student than a Tier 2 Exotic Beast."
Faced with flying Exotic Beast, we can only passively take the hits; if we encounter Exotic Beast, we should simply run away.
Ruan Liusu replied.
"Okay, I understand!" Chen Lie nodded.
In the danger zone of the Military Training Ground, the density of Exotic Beast was much higher. After walking around the danger zone, Chen Lie saw no fewer than ten Exotic Beast.
As they walked through a stone forest, a Exotic Beast, seemingly nearly 4 meters in size and resembling Exotic Beast Mutated Giant Rat, suddenly attacked Chen Lie Chen Lie, pouncing towards him.
"Chen Lie, be careful!" Ruan Liusu immediately exclaimed in alarm.
As the Mutated Giant Rat pounced, its nearly half-meter-long claws reached for Chen Lie.
Chen Lie dodged to the side, and the Mutated Giant Rat's claws slashed at the nearby stone.
With a loud bang, the stone was instantly shattered by the mutated behemoth's claws.
"Squeak----"
The Mutated Giant Rat let out a strange cry, and its sharp claws reached for Chen Lie again.
Chen Lie instantly unleashed a punch, a punch with nearly 20,000 jin of force, which struck the giant rat's sharp teeth.
With a "bang," Chen Lie broke one of the giant rat's two sharp teeth.
Ruan Liusu wanted to step forward to help, but saw Chen Lie's fierce moves. After breaking one of the giant beast's sharp teeth, he attacked again, throwing several punches in succession. Finally, seizing the opportunity, he punched half of the giant rat's head off its jawbone.
The giant beast died instantly and collapsed to the ground.
In just a few dozen seconds, before Ruan Liusu could even find an opportunity to attack, Chen Lie had successfully hunted Chen Lie a Tier 1 Exotic Beast.
She couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Chen Lie, your skills in hunting Exotic Beast are simply too amazing!"
This superb skill allows one to hunt a Tier 1 Exotic Beast with only one-tenth the effort of an ordinary person, making them more efficient at hunting Exotic Beast than the military training team leader of their Sunan Province.
There's no need for my help at all. Chen Lie can complete the military training mission in East River Province entirely on his own.
If it weren't for the day and half-day lost yesterday, Chen Lie would have had a real chance of winning the honor of Individual General Star.
"Practice makes perfect," Chen Lie said.
"Practice makes perfect? Do you have Exotic Beast in East River Province for you to practice on?" Ruan Liusu asked.
"Of course not." Chen Lie shook his head.
"What a pity, you wasted more than a day. Otherwise, with your skills in hunting Exotic Beast, you might have even won Individual General Star."
"How many points are needed to obtain Individual General Star?" Chen Lie asked.
"According to last year's record, the one with the fewest Northwest General Star among the seven individuals had 900 Military Merit merit points."
That translates to 900 Tier 1 Exotic Beast, or 450 Tier 2 Exotic Beast, or 180 Tier 3 Exotic Beast.
The number might rise further today, as the ten-day period is only halfway over, and some people have already surpassed 600 points.
indivual."
"Oh? Are there still people on the Military Training Ground who are capable of hunting Tier 3 Exotic Beast?" Chen Lie asked.
"Tier 3 Exotic Beast are no match for even ordinary fifth-tier Martial Artist. Even if they were to be hunted, it would require the combined efforts of geniuses from the top ten provinces. It's unlikely that an individual could manage it alone. After all, we're only at the Blood-Qi Stage."
After answering, Ruan Liusu asked suspiciously, "You don't really want to compete for the Seven Generals, do you?"
Why not?
"Your skills in hunting Exotic Beast are very strong, but the selection of generals is a ten-day process. You've already wasted about two days, and there's a group of Special Enrollment Student from East River Province that you need to look after. You won't be able to catch up with their points."
The people with the most Military Merit merit points are almost all the Martial Leader from the top ten provinces on Blue Star. Their provinces are generally strong, so the team members will not let them get distracted and can provide more help.
"With you alone and a bunch of people holding you back, it's going to be very difficult for you to win the Individual General Star."
"It's not that bad. According to you, 1000 points should be enough to secure a general's star. From now on, I can just hunt 120 Tier 1 Exotic Beast every day, right?"
"Hunting 120 animals in a day? Is that even possible?"
Ruan Liusu couldn't help but ask in return.
For several days, even with the help of her teammates, she had only managed to hunt down a mere 100 Exotic Beast.
Hunting 120 animals a day by one person is ridiculous. Even if Chen Lie is as efficient as he was just now, can he keep up with the physical demands?
Ruan Liusu could tell that although Chen Lie had only made a dozen or so moves, he had gone all out.
It looks simple, but it took at least a tenth of my physical strength.
The Exotic Beast's hide is tough and its flesh is hard; even if you find the vital point, you can't break through Exotic Beast defenses without going all out.
"If it's not possible, I won't say it."
"How can I see the scores of the top seven players with the highest scores right now?" Chen Lie asked.
"Further ahead, about 15 kilometers from the Shelter, at the very center of the Second Military Training Ground, there is a Military Merit Screen data that is updated in real time, showing the top seven rankings in the province's total points and individual total points."
Shall I take you there?
"Good!"
Chen Lie nodded and walked forward with Ruan Liusu.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Lie finally saw a screen that was about 500 inches in size.
"Look, there it is!"
Ruan Liusu arrived at the large screen before Chen Lie and introduced it to Chen Lie: "This screen is made of Outer Stars material, which is extremely hard. It is very difficult for anyone below the Grandmaster level to damage it."
On either side of the screen are displayed the top seven provinces with the most Military Merit merit points and the top seven individuals with the most Military Merit merit points.
Chen Lie walked up to the big screen and glanced at the rankings.
On the left side of the screen is the province with the highest total score: Lingnan Province (3471 points).
Second place: Dongzhe Province (3156 points)
Third place: Guyue Province (2986 points)
Fourth place: Shenzhou Province (2871 points)
Fifth place: Sudong Province (2668 points)
Sixth place: Nanjiang Province (2494 points)
7th Place: Jinhai Province (2266 points)
On the right side of the screen is the individual Points Ranking Board, where the top scorer is Shao Keyu (735 points).
Second place: Yan Feng (693 points)
Third place: Zhou Yang (675 points)
Fourth place: Xu Wanqing (659 points)
Fifth place: Zheng Zhongming (633 points)
Sixth place: Wang Tian'en (610 points)
7th place: Han Keke (578 points)
"Look at Chen Lie, he's seventh on the Personal Points Ranking Board, almost at 600 points. The ten-day period is only six days in, and when the final rankings are determined, even 1000 points might not be enough to win the Northwest General Star," Ruan Liusu said.
"How is the ten-day period calculated?" Chen Lie asked.
"The list includes the top 20 provinces on Blue Star."
Since the establishment of the Northwest General Star system, the provinces and individuals who have obtained the Northwest General Star have all come from the top twenty provinces of the Blue Star.
The top 20 provinces on Blue Star all arrived in the Northwest on the same day. Today is the sixth day since they first entered the Military Training Ground.
The provinces that followed entered in batches, especially East River Province, which was among the last to receive visitors.
"The ten-day competition for the Northwest General Star title is underway, and you're already on the second day. You've wasted a day and a half, making it very difficult to catch up with them," Ruan Liusu said.
"You won't say that anymore in a little while."
Ruan Liusu found it strange.
However, the top seven on the list are almost all Martial Leader from the top ten provinces of the Blue Star. Their martial arts skills are far ahead of countless peers. It seems unrealistic to compete for the top seven solely based on hunting skills.
Fifteen kilometers from the Shelter lies the depths of a danger zone, a place sparsely populated, frequented only by exceptionally talented students with Blood Qi Value exceeding 4000 who Special Enrollment Student Exotic Beast, but even they are few and far between.
As soon as Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu left the leaderboard screen and walked to the side of a hill, a huge wolf with a massive body and green eyes approached them.
"That's Iron-Backed Gray Wolf, a top-tier Tier 2 Exotic Beast!"
Ruan Liusu exclaimed in alarm, "Chen Lie, this kind of Exotic Beast is not easy to hunt. It's incredibly fast, incredibly strong, and its defense is even stronger than that of a typical Tier 3 Exotic Beast. Even hunters from the top ten provinces of Blue Star would avoid it if they saw it. We'd better retreat quickly!"
Seeing the Iron-Backed Gray Wolf approaching step by step, Chen Liedao, "We can't retreat now. This Exotic Beast has its eyes on us."
Ruan Liusu also noticed the giant wolf's cold, greenish eyes. "It seems this Exotic Beast sees us as prey. Let's make it suffer!"
In Ruan Liusu's view, dealing with such Exotic Beast that has almost no weaknesses and amazing defensive capabilities is a losing proposition. It would be better to hunt down a few Tier 1 Exotic Beast instead of wasting time dealing with it.
However, now that this Iron-Backed Gray Wolf has its eye on them, they have no choice but to take action.
As the Exotic Beast closed in step by step, Ruan Liusu took the initiative and unleashed a set of S-shaped punches.
"Flowing Shadow Fist!"
Ruan Liusu's fist shadows appeared, and more than a dozen fist shadows with a force of 20,000 jin landed all at once on the weak spot in the giant wolf's eyes.
The giant wolf roared in pain and lunged at Ruan Liusu with a claw.
Seeing this, Chen Lie punched the giant wolf in the throat. The force of the punch exploded, and the giant wolf roared in pain, but only suffered minor damage to its fur.
"This is bad. This Exotic Beast is probably a top-tier Tier 2 Exotic Beast. Even with all our strength focused on its vital points, we still can't break through its defenses."
Ruan Liusu was startled. She leaped up and landed on the giant wolf's head, repeatedly pounding her fists on its head.
The giant wolf immediately struggled, its huge head swaying from side to side, throwing Ruan Liusu aside.
Landing on the giant wolf's head, Ruan Liusu saw that the wolf's back seemed to be made of iron armor, and its fur was like steel wires. She felt a sudden sense of powerlessness.
Breaking through the defenses of such a powerful Exotic Beast is extremely difficult.
On the other side, Chen Lie saw Ruan Liusu being thrown off by the giant wolf, so he immediately flew forward and began to fight the giant wolf.
He scanned the area with his divine sense and knew that this giant wolf was almost indestructible, with its real weakness being its waist and abdomen.
So, taking advantage of the giant wolf's pounce, he unleashed a palm strike, the powerful blade of blood energy instantly slicing through the wolf's abdomen.
"So that's where the giant wolf's weak point is!"
Ruan Liusu's eyes lit up, and she immediately flew forward to cooperate with Chen Lie in attacking the giant wolf's abdomen.
"Roar----"
The giant wolf roared angrily, and, severely injured, it immediately turned and fled.
"It's trying to escape, don't let it get away!"
Ruan Liusu dozens of meters, jumping in front of the giant wolf to block its path.
We finally managed to severely injure this Exotic Beast; wouldn't it be a waste to let it escape like this?
The giant wolf roared and engaged Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu in battle once more.
After half an hour of advanced training, the giant wolf, which had been relentlessly attacked in the abdomen, finally collapsed to the ground, barely alive.
Ruan Liusu smiled and Chen Liedao, "I didn't expect that our first collaboration would be so well-coordinated."
We actually managed to hunt down such a powerful Exotic Beast!
Ruan Liusu made a gesture, signaling Chen Lie to kill the Exotic Beast.
The Exotic Beast Radar they wear will credit the points to the person who actually hunts the Exotic Beast.
Chen Lie shook his head. "Why don't you kill him?"
"Huh? Why? Didn't we agree that I would help you?" Ruan Liusu was taken aback.
"I see you've come to help us today, but there's been some criticism among the Special Enrollment Student in your Sunan Province. Having you hunt this Exotic Beast is a way to settle things."
Why should I care about them? I don't believe those people would dare to question me to my face again.
Seeing how considerate Chen Lie was of her, Ruan Liusu couldn't help but smile.
She wanted to refuse, but Chen Lie insisted that she hunt down the Exotic Beast.
She could only say, "Alright then, I'll let it go this time. The Exotic Beast we hunt together later will all be credited to you."
After saying that, Ruan Liusu made her move and finished off the Iron-Backed Gray Wolf.
In their Sunan Province, hunting Tier 2 Exotic Beast requires the deployment of three experts at the Organ Refining Stage, and the success rate is less than 50%.
The fact that the two of them successfully hunted down a top-tier Tier 2 Exotic Beast is definitely something to celebrate.
Just as Ruan Liusu was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed. "Be careful!"
Chen Lie looked up and saw a black shadow suddenly swooping down from a height of 100 meters.
With a "whoosh".
A Exotic Beast, resembling a large vulture, reached out with its claws towards Chen Lie.
Chen Lie flashed, causing the Exotic Beast to miss its target.
The Exotic Beast let out a loud cry, and its two-meter-long wings flapped towards Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu.
With a "bang," Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu were both knocked back more than ten meters by the wings of the large vulture.
"Chirp----" The vulture let out a strange cry, flapped its wings again, and flew into the sky.
"It's a Tier 1 flying Exotic Beast. These Exotic Beast have the advantage of flight, and we can't do anything about them. We need to get rid of them as soon as possible."
Ruan Liusu looked up at the sky, her expression solemn.
The large vulture, having missed its first attack, continued to circle at a height of 100 meters, clearly not giving up on its target.
"What bad luck! We actually ran into the rarest flying Exotic Beast on the Military Training Ground."
"Being targeted by this Exotic Beast would take at least half a day to get rid of, and we've wasted a whole day!" Ruan Liusu couldn't help but say.
"Be careful, it won't be a waste of time."
Chen Lie looked up at the Exotic Beast circling high in the sky.
After observing for several minutes, Ruan Liusu finally made a judgment. "Be careful, Chen Lie, the Exotic Beast is about to start its swooping attack again."
Above them, Exotic Beast resembling a large vulture circled once, then opened its sharp claws and swooped down on Chen Lie again.
As Chen Lie saw the Exotic Beast rapidly descend and advance twenty meters above him, he quickly activated his divine sense and unleashed Mental Power Impact.
"Boom!"
A Mental Power as sharp as a sword pierced directly through the Exotic Beast's weak intelligence.
The giant bald man instantly lost consciousness and fell from a height of over ten meters.
With a "thump".
The Exotic Beast, with wingspans of seven or eight meters, fell to the ground.
"Huh? Why did this Exotic Beast suddenly fall down?"
Ruan Liusu immediately ran over, full of doubt.
"I remember telling you that I am a Divine Sense Master."
"Divine Sense Master?" Ruan Liusu exclaimed in surprise, "The Exotic Beast suddenly fell down, was that your doing?"
Chen Lie nodded slightly. "The Exotic Beast are mentally deficient; a single Mental Power attack from me can instantly render them powerless."
"How is that possible? We have a Divine Sense Master in our Sunan Province Genius Group, and he's even reached the Divine Sense Master level. He always follows behind when hunting Exotic Beast. I don't think he has that kind of ability."
"Oh, because I've mastered a secret Mental Power technique that can specifically attack a person's mind," Chen Lie said.
"That's amazing?"
Ruan Liusu thought of Chen Lie's strange appearance on the Duel Platform at the Three-Province Martial Tournament, when the champion of Cloud River Province Martial Leader, whose strength was no less than her own, was left with no apparent advantage.
It's clear that they were defeated because they suffered a severe blow to their mental state.
With this ability, as long as the difference in strength isn't too great, one will be virtually invincible in battle.
"Then this Mental Power technique of yours can't be used Infinity Building, right?"
1
"Of course not." Chen Lie shook his head.
Ruan Liusu breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it couldn't be, otherwise, how would others survive?
No wonder the Blue Star government values Divine Sense Master Divine Sense Master so much; it turns out they possess such formidable abilities.
"A maximum of one hundred Mental Power techniques can be used per day."
"What? You can cast it a hundred times a day? What's the difference between that and casting it Infinity Building?"
Ruan Liusu was shocked once again. Were Divine Sense Master really this unreasonable?
"Achieving 100 times a day is barely possible; it's very Mental Power taxing. You can manage it occasionally, but you can't do it for a long time."
In truth, Chen Lie's current Mental Power is so abundant that he can indeed unleash it Infinity Building, but saying that out loud would be too shocking, so he has to add a restriction.
"Your Mental Power talent must be quite good, right?" Ruan Liusu couldn't help but ask.
Of Divine Sense Master she had ever met, none were like Chen Lie.
She had fought against Divine Sense Master before and knew that at crucial moments in a battle, Divine Sense Master's Mental Power attacks could affect an opponent's consciousness for a short time. But she had never heard of Chen Lie directly striking an opponent to the point of losing consciousness at the Mental Power level.
"It's fine," Chen Liedao.
Ruan Liusu pursed her lips; she could tell from Chen Lie's perfunctory reply.
That makes sense, though. To Chen Lie, he's only known him for a short time, so of course he wouldn't open up and reveal his secrets.
"Is this flying Exotic Beast dead?"
Ruan Liusu then looked at the large vulture falling from the sky.
"No, he's just temporarily unconscious. He should wake up in half an hour at most."
In fact, Chen Lie could erase the consciousness of the Exotic Beast at the Mental Power level, but this would require him to exert all his strength, which would be exhausting. Moreover, even if the Exotic Beast were to perish at the mental level, the Exotic Beast Radar might not be able to detect it.
So he held back, only using his Mental Power Impact to temporarily knock the Exotic Beast unconscious before finishing it off manually, making it easier for the Exotic Beast Radar to detect.
After saying that, Chen Lie stepped forward and smashed the Exotic Beast's head off with a single punch.
Now that he had revealed his Mental Power, Chen Lie had no intention of hiding them any longer.
Centering his search around the large screen displaying Military Merit merit points, he found no Exotic Beast Exotic Beast. Before Ruan Liusu could even make a move, he unleashed a Mental Power Impact that knocked the Exotic Beast unconscious, and then personally killed Exotic Beast.
In just one afternoon, Chen Lie used his Mental Power Impact and kill 71 Exotic Beast.
Ruan Liusu, who came to help, had a complicated expression. She came to help, but she never expected to benefit from Chen Lie's help.
Of the 71 Exotic Beast, Chen Lie directly gave her Exotic Beast.
Working with her two teammates, she could only hunt a maximum of 30 Exotic Beast a day. But by following Chen Lie and finishing off the Exotic Beast after they lost consciousness, she managed to hunt 20 Exotic Beast all by herself in one day, plus the second- Tier 2 Exotic Beast she had just encountered.
This is more efficient than the hunting with assistance a few days ago.
When they reached the 72nd Exotic Beast, Chen Lie wanted Ruan Liusu to finish it off, but Ruan Liusu quickly waved her hand and refused, saying, "I've already killed enough beasts today, you go ahead."
Aren't you also vying for the Northwest General Star?
Ruan Liusu had initially thought Chen Lie had no chance of becoming the Northwest General Star, but now it seemed that he had indeed been too simplistic.
