Thunder Monster Hunters' Office

Having been saved, Su Wuming could not help but grow curious about Mentor Mo Lan's cultivation and strength.

She had easily restrained Snowburst with mind power. She had to be at least Silver Rank, perhaps even Gold Rank.

Since Su Wuming could not sense her cultivation, she was at least two major realms above him.

"Leave this to you. I still need to head farther ahead."

Mentor Mo Lan did not say much to Su Wuming, because Demon Beasts were still rampaging up ahead.

"Mentor, why are there Snow Demons in the city?" Su Wuming had been puzzled by this all along. Looking at Mentor Mo Lan hovering in midair, he hoped she could give him an answer.

"This is not something you should be worrying about yet. The less you know, the better."

After leaving him with those words, Mo Lan's figure flashed and vanished directly before Su Wuming's eyes.

"Is this the ability of a Mind Master? She can actually fly through the air, and was that teleportation at the end?"

Su Wuming muttered to himself, his voice filled with envy.

However, he was not envious of her abilities, but of her strength.

What the system gave him would definitely not be bad. He was only looking forward to the day when he could come and go as freely as she did, suppressing all enemies with a wave of his hand.

But could a Power Type fly?

It seemed he could only jump...

Or perhaps Rubber Gear Fourth combined with the Eight Gates, running through the air.

It did not feel as dashing as flying through the air, but it was violent as hell!!

Just as Su Wuming was clearing away corpses and collecting Beast Crystals as spoils, a rumbling peal of thunder suddenly reached his ears.

He had barely raised his head to search for the source when he saw a streak of purple lightning flash through the residential complex. He could not make out the figure within it at all.

The next moment, that lightning appeared directly before him, and only then did Su Wuming see clearly.

The newcomer wore a brown combat uniform, his face covered by a mask. A black cape hung from his back, embroidered in the center with a lightning-bolt emblem.

Su Wuming recognized that emblem. It was the symbol of Dry City's Thunder Monster Hunters' Office.

"Student, taking someone else's spoils isn't good behavior."

The moment he arrived, the man accused Su Wuming of taking the Beast Crystals.

"Someone else's? Are you talking about me?" Su Wuming looked around, then pointed at himself and asked.

"Of course I'm talking about you. Who is your teacher? Didn't they teach you that you cannot steal someone else's spoils?"

This was an unwritten rule. Whenever people fought Demon Beasts, no one was allowed to loot the corpses of beasts killed by another participant.

"Big bro, I killed all of these. There's nothing wrong with me collecting my own spoils, okay? Besides, my mentor Mo Lan can vouch for me. If you don't believe me, go ask her."

"I can vouch for him too!" Lin Pangpang stuck his head out from the rooftop and shouted.

"Who knows whether you two cooked this up together? You're just a student who awakened not long ago. You expect me to believe you killed this many Nunu Beasts?"

Su Wuming was speechless. The image he had held of monster hunters instantly collapsed. No matter how he looked at it, this guy seemed to want to swallow up his Beast Crystals for himself.

"Believe it or not, I killed them."

"I naturally don't believe you. So now, immediately, hand over all the Beast Crystals you stole. After the Monster Hunters' Office finishes verifying them, they will be returned to you if they are yours."

"Heh, so we're past talking, huh? What if I refuse?"

"Quite the mouth on you for someone so young. Then I'll discipline you on behalf of your teacher."

As he spoke, the monster hunter twitched his fingers, sending a purple electric arc shooting toward Su Wuming.

At this distance, he would not have been able to dodge even with the Opening Gate activated.

But did Su Wuming need to dodge?

The answer was: no!

Idiot, rubber doesn't conduct electricity!!

The monster hunter had only intended to knock Su Wuming unconscious. Yet the instant the electric arc touched him, it slid from the skin of his chest to one side and vanished without a trace.

The sight stunned the monster hunter so badly that he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Refusing to believe it, he threw out two more electric arcs. However, the result was the same as before.

"How is that possible?"

"Big bro, give me a few more. That actually felt pretty good." Su Wuming's Rubber Constitution did not conduct electricity, but the strikes felt like light pricks from tiny needles. They were rather pleasant.

"What type of Spirit Martial Practitioner are you?"

"An insulation type. Don't stop, big bro. Give me two more." Su Wuming made it up casually.

"Are you kidding me? What the hell is an insulation type? I've never even heard of one."

"You were the one joking first. Let me give you a piece of advice too: if you're uneducated, read more books. You don't even know what an insulator is, so what kind of monster hunter are you? Those three attacks just now count as me giving you three moves. Now it's my turn!"

Su Wuming was furious. Instead of going to other areas to save people and kill the rampaging Demon Beasts, this guy was here trying to steal his Beast Crystals.

Even if he could not win, Su Wuming would make him understand his attitude.

Anyone who set their sights on his Beast Crystals would be killed, no matter how far away they were!

Each one is worth five thousand yuan! I would have to think twice over five yuan, but five thousand! Brother, you're trying to fight me to the death here.

They stood extremely close to each other. Su Wuming suddenly launched his attack, throwing a punch while coating it with Armament Haki.

However, he had still underestimated this monster hunter's strength. His suddenly extended arm did not make the man freeze in shock. The instant his fist touched the opponent, it passed straight through him.

The figure before him vanished in the next moment, and only then did Su Wuming realize he had struck nothing but an afterimage.

"Overestimating yourself. A mere Black Iron Rank rookie thinks he can hit me? Ridiculous."

"Ridiculous or not, I'm still better than you. You've got some nerve trying to scam me out of my Beast Crystals. You're even scamming students. Are you even human?"

As he spoke, Su Wuming locked onto the man's figure again and unleashed Rubber Gatling—Wild Barrage!!!

However, the man easily dodged again. At the same time, he waved his hand and flung out a purple lightning whip that coiled toward Su Wuming.

In a single exchange, Su Wuming's body and arms were instantly bound tightly. The lightning on the whip could not hurt him, but the force of its thunderous vibrations did not feel good against his body either.

"I'll say it one more time. A mere Black Iron Rank shouldn't be hopping around. Do as I say and spare yourself some suffering."

Something's wrong. There's something wrong with this guy!

Su Wuming finally realized that the man did not seem surprised by his abilities at all. It was as though he had known about them beforehand. That was not normal.

"You can only bully a Black Iron Rank like me. If we were at the same level, I'd beat you so badly your mother would regret ever meeting your father!"

"A Thunder Monster Hunters' Office hunter is bullying a student! Everyone, come watch! Is there still any justice in this world? Bullying students is simply inhuman!"

At some point, Lin Pangpang had started a livestream on his phone from the rooftop, aiming it directly at the monster hunter who was assaulting Su Wuming.

Seeing this, the man flicked his fingertip, firing an electric arc straight at Lin Pangpang.

"Little Fatty, the network around here is down. Who are you livestreaming to, your phone's photo album?"

"No, he's livestreaming it to me." Su Wuming had not said that, and it was impossible to tell where the voice had come from.

At the same time, the electric arc aimed at Lin Pangpang vanished in midair. Lin Pangpang, along with Sister Wu and her family on the rooftop, vanished as well.

"Who is it?! The Monster Hunters' Office is conducting business. If you know what's good for you, don't interfere."

The monster hunter holding Su Wuming captive immediately tensed. He had not even noticed someone arriving!

"A Silver One-Star Rank piece of trash like you isn't worthy of knowing who I am. The Thunder Monster Hunters' Office actually accepts garbage like you? It's really getting worse and worse."
