Chapter 39
The Ten Masters Cheat, But the Teachers Have to Consider Many Things

“The outer armor of the Rock Plate Rhinoceros contains special mineral salts. Because it lives in the hot and arid wilderness, it is constantly exposed to the sun, causing the salt to seep into its flesh and perfectly blend in.”

“You could say that the older a Rock Plate Rhinoceros is, the more it’s “cured” and is the most premium ham and bacon in the human realm.”

“After acupunctural anesthesia, I will definitely capture it after the assessment and take it home to have the Meat Demon cook it for me.”

Hong Yi walked through the sparse red land, his mind filled with information about the Rock Plate Rhinoceros.

Seeing someone approaching.

The poaching hyenas that were originally hunting the Rock Plate Rhinoceros immediately split into three, forming a character “品” formation, and bared their teeth at Hong Yi, their yellow-orange sharp teeth dripping with foul-smelling saliva.

“Scram.”

Hong Yi gave them a cold look.

His dark brown eyes flashed with a demonic ferocity and coldness.

“Woo ~”

The few calf-sized poaching hyenas whimpered in fear, instantly bristling, and hurriedly tucked their tails between their legs, scurrying away.

In the distance.

The acupuncturist teacher known as Stinky Face Sakamoto looked towards Hong Yi.

Seeing that Hong Yi had actually chosen the Rock Plate Rhinoceros, his brow furrowed.

“Hong Yi, why did you choose the most difficult to acupuncturally anesthetize prey in the Ninth Habitat Courtyard?”

“Has he forgotten that there are three types of beasts that acupunctural anesthetists are least willing to touch?”

First, soft-bodied!

Second, large-bodied!

Third, those with hard outer armor!

“I remember Hong Yi’s acupunctural device is the TX03 type of ordinary acupunctural gun. The material used for the acupuncture needle is not enough to penetrate the Rock Plate Rhinoceros’ outer armor defense.”

“Sigh, he’s being a bit reckless.”

Sakamoto shook his head and sighed.

To be honest.

He was very optimistic about Hong Yi.

Not because Hong Yi was one of the Farmoon Ten Masters and had a good relationship with Cocoa of the Four Kings of Food, but because he had amazing talent and perseverance!

Sakamoto remembered Hong Yi’s first time in class, he didn’t know much about acupunctural anesthesia, but the second time, he passed the theory test with a perfect score.

The third time, he was able to successfully acupuncturally anesthetize food.

The fourth time, he effortlessly anesthetized “higher-level food.”

Now.

In Sakamoto’s opinion, Hong Yi’s acupunctural anesthesia skills had already surpassed most of the third-year Gourmet Hunters and was the most likely to get an S grade.

Such a talented and persevering student had made a move that Sakamoto couldn’t understand.

Hong Yi chose the most difficult food.

And… he didn’t use an acupunctural gun!

The Rock Plate Rhinoceros moved forward slowly.

Because of its hard outer armor and small joint gaps, it moved very slowly.

Long years of evolution had also given the Rock Plate Rhinoceros a dull nerve and personality, almost ignoring its surroundings and threats.

Hong Yi stood still, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression incredibly serious, carefully studying the Rock Plate Rhinoceros, and then raised his right fist.

“Use his fist… to knock out the Rock Plate Rhinoceros?”

Sakamoto was dumbfounded.

What’s the deal?

What kind of operation is this? !

Of course.

He didn’t doubt Hong Yi’s ability to capture the Rock Plate Rhinoceros.

Although the Rock Plate Rhinoceros is a level 10 capture food, it’s still a small fry for Hong Yi, who smashed GT robots.

“What’s going on, the Ninth Seat wants to anesthetize the Rock Plate Rhinoceros? That’s the toughest bone to crack!”

“The Rock Plate Rhinoceros’ outer armor is harder than an alloy steel plate. Even an armor-piercing bullet from a sniper rifle can’t pierce it, an ordinary acupunctural device can’t poke it at all, who would be stupid enough to go and acupuncturally anesthetize it?”

“I don’t understand, is he planning to knock the Rock Plate Rhinoceros unconscious?”

Other students also looked at him, baffled.

Knocking the Rock Plate Rhinoceros unconscious is not the same as successfully anesthetizing it.

Just then.

Hong Yi’s eyes narrowed, then suddenly widened, his right fist, which controlled the strength to the slightest degree, struck the side of the Rock Plate Rhinoceros’ neck.

“Ding”

It was like an invisible blue and white acupuncture needle shot out from Hong Yi’s fist, ignoring the thick rock plate and piercing into the Rock Plate Rhinoceros’ neck.

It was his fist strength!

Fist strength mixed with genetic energy!

“Damn, look, Hong Yi actually made a move.”

“What’s going on, why is he using his fist directly, where’s the acupunctural device, the anesthetic gun?”

“I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all, is he really planning to knock the Rock Plate Rhinoceros unconscious?”

“The Ninth Seat only needs to knock out the food, while Stinky Face Sakamoto has to consider a lot of things.”

“I get it, Brother Hong is going to knock out the food, and then use the Ten Masters’ prestige to make Teacher Sakamoto give him an S grade.”

The students taking the exam were a little shocked.

Logically speaking, such a “deceitful” act of cheating, even the Ten Masters wouldn’t allow it.

But Hong Yi’s situation was too special.

He actually killed a Ten Master!

Even the Grand Marshal had taken a beating from him!

The IGO director and Cocoa of the Four Kings of Food were also close friends with Hong Yi.

Normally, as long as it wasn’t a teacher who had a screw loose, basically no one would dare to offend Hong Yi.

Don’t say cheating, you directly give him an inside track, I guess there’s no problem.

“Wait… wait…”

“Look, the Rock… the Rock Plate Rhinoceros isn’t moving!!"

“Holy cow! Holy cow! Is this real?”

“Are you seeing things, the Rock Plate Rhinoceros is slow-moving, maybe it’s just in a daze, or it’s standing there pooping?”

While the students were wondering, Stinky Face Sakamoto had already dashed over.

He reached the Rock Plate Rhinoceros as quickly as he could, and examined it from all angles.

The Rock Plate Rhinoceros stood there like a vivid specimen, motionless like wood carving or clay sculpture.

It wasn’t eating grass, and it wasn’t pooping.

“Anesthetized… it’s really anesthetized!”

“There’s not a single wound on its body, and the Rock Plate Rhinoceros is still alive, not fainted.”

“Hong… Hong Yi!”

Sakamoto was astonished, he turned his head abruptly towards Hong Yi, his eyes widened, his expression filled with shock, confusion, joy, and disbelief.

“How… how did you do it?”

It’s one thing to be able to acupuncturally anesthetize the Rock Plate Rhinoceros.

But more importantly…

He didn’t even use an acupunctural device or an anesthetic gun.

He only used his fist!

He anesthetized the Rock Plate Rhinoceros whose outer armor could easily withstand rocket launchers and armor-piercing bullets.

It’s a bit amazing.

Hong Yi didn’t hide anything, he calmly replied: “Actually it’s quite simple, the essence of acupunctural anesthesia is to block the nerve signals.”

“Whether it’s a needle or something else, it doesn’t matter.”

“I replaced the acupunctural device’s needle with fist strength (internal force), that’s all.”

“That’s… all?”

Sakamoto was dumbfounded.

Hey hey hey…

Don’t make it sound so simple, or I’ll get the illusion that I can do it too!

Sakamoto was frantically complaining in his heart, but on the surface, he coughed lightly and asked: “Then how did you know where the Rock Plate Rhinoceros’ acupoints are?”

Every different food has a different acupunctural point.

Through the years of accumulated experience of many acupuncture masters, tens of thousands of acupuncture points of various food have been summarized and compiled into the “Gourmet Anesthesia Encyclopedia”!

However.

This “Gourmet Anesthesia Encyclopedia” does not record the location of the Rock Plate Rhinoceros’ acupoints!
