Chapter 32
The Assessment Targets Seem a Bit Easy

“A third-rank Black-Veined Serpent, and so many Black-Miasma Serpents, they should provide me with a substantial amount of lifespan.”

Zhang Mo looked at the serpent swarm, a smile curling his lips.

The next instant!

He lightly moved his body, his bones clicking like popping beans. A wildly powerful force of blood Qi burst from his body.

His aura, now like a tangible substance, swept across the entire area like a hurricane.

“Hiss, hiss!”

All the Black-Miasma Serpents, as if sensing the threat, let out uneasy growls and quickly gathered from all directions, staring fixedly at Yang Hao.

Even the Black-Veined Serpent had assumed a battle stance, its brutal aura mixed with killing intent, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

“They gathered together, that saves me some trouble.”

Bang!

He stomped on the ground, his body launching out like a cannonball, charging towards the serpent swarm.

Zhang Mo didn’t use any martial arts, just pure strength, giving off an unstoppable feeling.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

With a series of tearing sounds, all the Black-Miasma Serpents launched their attacks.

They opened their gaping maws, revealing sharp fangs.

Facing all this.

Zhang Mo didn’t have any intention of dodging.

These mere second-rank ferocious beasts, they were simply not worthy of shaking his body.

His hands crossed, his body slightly leaning forward, all the muscles in his body subtly bulged, as if he were a primeval beast.

Boom!

The ground was crushed by Zhang Mo’s foot, his speed further increasing.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sounds of shattered bones rang out continuously, Black-Miasma Serpent after Black-Miasma Serpent was sent flying backwards.

As for their attacks, those fangs that seemed so sharp, they couldn’t even penetrate Zhang Mo’s skin.

In that moment!

Blood constantly fell from above, as if it were raining blood in a small area.

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes widened, their pupils bulging out as if they were going to pop out of their sockets.

“What a wild battle style, so many Black-Miasma Serpents killed in an instant, this is terrifying.”

“Damn, he completely abandoned defense, yet he’s unscathed, this guy’s external martial arts are simply divine.”

“My god, this guy is really the same age as us, he’s also a participant in this exam, right? Could it be someone disguised to take the exam in his place?”

Countless people were discussing it there, some even began to doubt Zhang Mo’s true identity.

Because the strength displayed by Zhang Mo was simply against the rules for their age group.

And at this time.

Zhang Mo’s figure had left a bloody path on the ground.

Behind him, all were Black-Miasma Serpents, their bodies curled up.

Zhang Mo didn’t pay any attention to this.

Because his target, had always been the Black-Veined Serpent not far ahead.

“Hiss, hiss!”

The Black-Veined Serpent roared, its fierce aura billowing all over, blood Qi swirling like a mist.

It had to be said!

This Black-Veined Serpent’s strength had reached the peak of the early third-rank.

Even its fangs contained a deadly poison.

Ordinary martial artists would be instantly killed if they even got scratched by it.

Many people used its venom to make poison arrows.

Therefore, even among early third-rank ferocious beasts, the Black-Veined Serpent was probably the most dangerous.

But looking at the Black-Veined Serpent, Zhang Mo’s expression was neither happy nor sad.

For him!

This Black-Veined Serpent was no different from those Black-Miasma Serpents.

Because none of them could break through his defenses.

“Die!”

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Mo’s eyes, he unleashed his Shattered Bone Hand, a palm striking the Black-Veined Serpent’s vital point.

Crack!

The Black-Veined Serpent howled in pain, its entire body surging with energy, countless streams of blood spraying out.

The next instant!

Its body crashed to the ground, no longer having any breath.

“Damn, even the Black-Veined Serpent was 秒了.”

“This kind of strength, it’s simply unheard of.”

“This is a second-rank martial artist?”

Looking at the Black-Veined Serpent lying in a pool of blood, nearby examinees could only feel their scalps tingling.

They looked at Zhang Mo standing in the blood, as if he were a demon god who had descended to the mortal realm.

...

“His external martial arts, just how far has he reached?”

Looking at the image on the screen, Yang Yu Tong muttered softly.

The invigilator beside her said, “Judging from the fact that even the Black-Miasma Serpents couldn’t penetrate his skin, he’s probably at least a third-rank external martial arts master.”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this level of defensive power.”

Yang Yu Tong nodded, then thought for a moment, “Maybe even more, look at the martial arts he just used, it shouldn’t be able to instantly kill the Black-Veined Serpent, could it be that his third-rank external martial arts are perfected, or even... his external martial arts are... fourth-rank?”

Thinking about this, Yang Yu Tong even unconsciously gasped.

No... that’s absolutely impossible.

The so-called external martial arts!

Many martial artists wouldn’t cultivate them.

Because compared to martial arts, external martial arts, while relatively less reliant on talent and comprehension, often take decades, even centuries, to cultivate.

The higher the rank, the more so.

And a third-rank martial artist, their lifespan would probably only be a hundred years or so.

With that time, it would be more worthwhile to further refine their internal cultivation, or to cultivate more martial arts.

The most unbelievable thing was, how old was Zhang Mo, just eighteen years old.

Even if he had a phenomenal talent in cultivating external martial arts, it really didn’t make sense.

The invigilator beside her also thought of this, taking a deep breath and saying:

“No matter what, the prey we assigned him, was probably too low-level.”

“......”

Yang Yu Tong blinked.

Yeah!

It seemed they were too conservative in choosing prey for Zhang Mo.

......

At this time.

Zhang Mo simply cleaned up the battlefield, collecting the materials from the serpents and putting them in his backpack.

“Zhang... Zhang Mo classmate.”

Seeing this, the examinees who had just wanted to run away all rushed over to curry favor.

Although during the exam.

They weren’t allowed to help each other with their prey.

But it wasn’t said that they couldn’t cooperate with others regarding other dangers.

Besides, it’s only beneficial to cultivate a good relationship with such a monstrous figure.

But just as they opened their mouths, they only saw Zhang Mo leap up, his 灵蛇九步 (Ling She Jiu Bu - Spirit Serpent Nine Steps) as agile as a dragon, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

As for these people.

He was too lazy to deal with them.

Passing the exam was the priority.
