As he waited, Fang Bai stared fixedly at the disk. The pointer slowed from fast to slow, about to stop.
"Old man, bless me! I'm willing to use ten years of Old Qin's lifespan in exchange for drawing an awesome element!"
Old Qin: "..."
Just then, the pointer slowly came to a stop.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing the Dark Element ability! ]
[ Element fusion in progress... ]
[ Fusion complete! ]
Dark Element!
Fang Bai's eyes lit up.
The next second, a Virtual Panel appeared before him.
[ Monster Slaying Rebate System (Speedrun Version) ] [ Slaughter demonic beasts to obtain rebates! ] [ Character: Fang Bai ] [ Age: 18 ] [ Talent: ??? ] [ Elements: Lightning Element, Dark Element (current) ] [ Level: Lightning Element First Order Advanced, Dark Element Quasi-First Order! ] [ Skills: Ten Times Crit Rate! (Permanent), First Order innate elemental skills—Lightning Bullet, Lightning Domain... ] [ Evaluation: Studying is not the only road out. How could slaying monsters and saving the world be a waste of one's life? ]
Fang Bai was somewhat excited. From today onward, just like Qi Tian, he was a dual-element awakened!
What delighted him even more was that his second element was the Dark Element!
The Dark Element was often associated with shadows, darkness, death, and similar forces. It could control the power of darkness, such as creating dark zones to conceal oneself, though it was more often used as support!
If one reached high rank in the Dark Element, then on the battlefield, they would be an unrivaled assassin who made everyone quake at the mere mention of their name!
Fang Bai had already imagined the battle scene in his mind: he would use a Dark Element skill, lurk in the shadows, then leap out while the enemy was off guard and rub up a Spiral Sphere for them!
Fang Bai now desperately wanted to kill demonic beasts. He wanted to raise his Dark Element to First Order and awaken his first Dark Element skill!
Collecting his thoughts, Fang Bai opened his eyes.
The next second, he met a pair of enormous Kazilan eyes!
"Fuck! What the hell is wrong with you?!"
Fang Bai reflexively stamped over with a size-43 footprint!
Qi Tian immediately leaned back tactically, dodging Fang Bai's kick.
Fang Bai said irritably, "Why the fuck were you getting so close?"
He had thought he had seen a demonic beast.
Qi Tian stroked his chin. "Nothing. I just wanted to observe you."
Fang Bai was speechless. "Do I look like a demonic beast or something?"
Qi Tian gave him a strange look. "Old Bai, how exactly do you cultivate? How has your strength risen so quickly?"
Fang Bai understood. The other man had noticed the changes in him.
There was nothing he could do about it. What normal person broke through two minor levels within ten days?
Without changing expression, Fang Bai said, "Isn't cultivation a very simple thing? Anyone with hands can do it!"
"?"
Qi Tian's mouth twitched. "That's a little too punchable, isn't it?!"
Compared to talent, Qi Tian might have been the lowest among them all. His level had been piled up with resources, without the groundwork of actual combat, so his true combat strength really was still slightly inferior to A Xiu's.
Fang Bai said with a sorrowful look, "Nothing I can do. Your brother here has already tried his best to keep a low profile, but my strength simply won't allow it!"
Qi Tian: "..."
Why had he shoved his own face over for someone else to slap?
Qi Tian sullenly pulled back.
At that moment, a disturbance came from nearby. Both of them tensed, but quickly relaxed again.
A Xiu and Xiao Yuan could be seen cautiously making their way over.
The latter looked somewhat bedraggled. His already worn clothes now looked like strips of rags.
"How's the situation outside?"
Fang Bai asked.
A Xiu said flatly, "Those demonic beasts were forced back. They must've gotten beaten bloody."
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
"..."
Fang Bai's expression turned strange, then he understood. Reinforcements from the human side must have arrived.
He immediately found it somewhat regrettable. If those demonic beasts had left the dimensional space, they could have continued their unfinished treasure hunt.
"Let's wait a little longer, then look for a chance to head out."
Meanwhile, outside the entrance to the dimensional space.
Several hours earlier.
The demonic beast horde had rioted. Led by a Fourth Order Winged Tiger Demon, the beasts of the dimensional space had launched an attack on human territory!
They had immediately found Qi Zhen and the others, charging without hesitation!
Facing the enormous demonic beast horde, Qi Zhen and the others were completely unable to hold them back. Qi Zhen had even been injured by that Fourth Order demonic beast!
In the end, Fan Gang led others to hold back the beast horde while the rest carried the severely injured Qi Zhen out of the dimensional space!
And the outcome was obvious. The beast horde tore apart Fan Gang's defenses and charged toward the humans!
At that moment, Willow Leaf Town.
Smoke and dust rose, and the great battle continued!
Human reinforcements had already arrived, blocking the demonic beast horde outside the town!
The corpses of hundreds of demonic beasts had piled into mountains, and the air was thick with the stench of blood!
Suddenly, a meteor several meters in diameter fell from the sky, smashing viciously into the beast horde before exploding with a thunderous boom!
At least a dozen Second Order demonic beasts died on the spot! The center of the explosion formed an isolated belt, but it was swiftly filled again by an endless stream of demonic beasts!
A middle-aged man floated in midair, his face icy. Behind him, several "meteors" like the one from before had condensed!
"A bunch of trash! If you want to break through us, train for another twenty thousand years!"
The middle-aged man wore the same uniform as Qi Zhen, but his epaulets bore four stars!
Four-Star Monster Slaying General!
Below, a group of soldiers in gray robes fought valiantly! Every one of them was covered in blood. No one knew whether it belonged to demonic beasts, themselves, or fallen comrades!
"Ten Miles of Ice River!"
Another low shout rang out. In an instant, more than a dozen demonic beasts were frozen solid by a surge of Ice Element Exotic Energy!
Another young figure leaped high into the air. He held a bone whip in his hand, and with a downward strike, those ice sculptures instantly shattered!
"Hahaha! That felt amazing! Old Huo, freeze a few more targets for me!"
The young man called out to the man in the white shirt not far away.
The latter said speechlessly, "I'll freeze your damn balls! Keep slacking off, and you'll be punished when we get back!"
Hearing that, the man curled his lips. "Why so serious? I'm the campus tyrant of the Martial Academy's second year, after all. Who would dare punish me?"
"Huh? You're a campus tyrant? Zhang Zifeng, with that pathetic look of yours? Ye Xuan beat you until you pissed and shit yourself, and you're still here bragging?!"
A girl carrying a broadsword walked over. Powerful Exotic Energy radiated from her body, while the killing intent around her condensed into crimson light!
When the self-proclaimed campus tyrant saw her, his face stiffened. "Sister Feng, give me some face out here!"
Sister Feng spoke coolly. "Enough. We came here to kill demonic beasts. Keep talking nonsense, and there won't even be soup left for you!"
With that, she was the first to charge toward the entrance of the dimensional space!
Old Huo and Zhang Zifeng exchanged a glance, then followed after her!
The three formed a triangular assault formation, directly carving out a vacuum zone through the demonic beast horde!
Yet their strength was only at Second Order!
And they were all geniuses from the Martial Academy!
"Roar!"
Not far away, a beast's roar echoed through the forest, carrying several traces of misery and fury!
That Fourth Order Winged Tiger Demon looked utterly miserable now. Its wings had been torn off by force, blood had dyed its body red, several tiger fangs had vanished without a trace, and it lay on the ground roaring in impotent rage.
A man in a suit walked over with unruffled ease, looking down at it indifferently. "It actually has a trace of Tiger King bloodline. So it was the one directing this riot from behind the scenes?"
The Winged Tiger Demon glared viciously and roared at him.
The man snorted coldly and gave a light wave of his hand!
The next second, the space around the Winged Tiger Demon's body suddenly trembled, and a mysterious force descended upon it.
In an instant! The Winged Tiger Demon screamed as its body was directly sliced into more than a hundred pieces of flesh!
The commander of this demonic beast horde had died just like that!
The suited man spread out his hand, and a fist-sized crystal appeared out of thin air before falling into his palm. It was precisely the Winged Tiger Demon's Monster Core.
The suited man turned and left. The space before him suddenly warped, as though a watery curtain had appeared. He walked into it and vanished!
A high-rank Space Element Martial Artist!
