Boom!
It was like a thunderbolt out of the blue.
The Ink Dragon and Zhang Mo were both thrown back at the same time.
“This is a great fight, but I can't keep going on like this. Otherwise, I won’t be able to keep up with the stamina.”
Zhang Mo stared at the Ink Dragon, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
After all, he was only a Second-Rank warrior. It was too early for him to compare stamina with a Third-Rank peak beast.
The moment his voice fell, Zhang Mo's index finger and middle finger closed together. A terrifying sword intent erupted from his body, as if it could cut through the heavens above and the underworld below.
“This is…?”
Even through the screen, Yang Yu Tong could feel a sharp aura rushing towards her, and she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.
Zhang Mo's figure leaped up, his steps like a nimble snake, and he appeared above the Ink Dragon’s head in the blink of an eye.
Buzz!
Zhang Mo used the Heavenly Star Sword Finger. The light on his two fingers surged, extending a few meters outward, flashing a sword glow in the void.
“Roar!”
The Ink Dragon felt that a great terror was about to descend upon it. It suddenly raised its head, but it was blinded by the dazzling light, making it unable to open its eyes.
“Cut!”
With Zhang Mo's roar, the sword glow had already cut through the void.
The power of this sword glow could not be described in words.
In the eyes of everyone, it was as if a star light crossed the heavens and earth.
The sword glow easily broke through the Ink Dragon's seemingly indestructible dragon scales, and it swept past its neck as if it were nothing.
“Roar!”
The Ink Dragon let out a final, mournful howl.
Its head fell, and a large amount of blood spurted out of the wound like a fountain.
Then.
Its head and huge body crashed to the ground, smashing the ground into pieces.
This Third-Rank, invincible beast had died under Zhang Mo's Heavenly Star Sword Finger.
“Holy crap, he won! Zhang Mo, the big boss, won?”
“Is he really a Second-Rank warrior? This level of strength is ridiculous, right?”
“What kind of martial art did he use in the end? That power was too terrifying!”
All the surviving examinees were already beginning to gasp in disbelief.
A strong sense of disbelief welled up in their hearts.
Even though they saw Zhang Mo kill the Ink Dragon with their own eyes, they still felt that it was all too magical, like a dream.
Even the examiners and Yang Yu Tong all had stunned expressions on their faces.
“Holy crap, is this a martial art a Second-Rank warrior can use?”
“What a domineering sword energy. What Rank martial art is this?”
All the examiners subconsciously looked at Yang Yu Tong.
“Don’t look at me. I’m damned if I know.”
Yang Yu Tong rolled her eyes.
She thought Zhang Mo's battle with the Ink Dragon just now was his full strength.
But who would have thought he had another trick up his sleeve.
Holy crap!
That sword finger martial art was just too domineering.
But everyone didn't see that Zhang Mo's face was now pale as paper.
The full-powered Heavenly Star Sword Finger had completely drained him.
He even had to use the Life Stealing skill to replenish his inner energy.
“Phew!”
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Mo began to use Life Stealing to recover his inner energy, and his face gradually returned to normal.
At this moment, Li Yun ran over, wanting to give Zhang Mo a big hug, but Zhang Mo pushed him away with a look of disgust.
Li Yun pouted, “Cut it out, you’re not some kind of beautiful girl.”
“You, a guy who doesn’t even have a girlfriend, yet you dare to be disgusted by me?”
Zhang Mo: “I don’t look for one, doesn’t mean I can’t find one. You should worry about yourself.”
Li Yun “......”
He’d messed up. He seemed to have chosen the wrong topic.
He knew that Zhang Mo was quite handsome.
He was the school’s hotshot these days, and if he wanted to, he could probably be a sea king in minutes.
Zhang Mo seemed to remember something and said, “By the way, I saw the signal flare just now. Was it you?”
“Don’t worry, it wasn’t me.”
Hearing this, Li Yun also had a look of relief and gratitude on his face.
If it wasn't for Zhang Mo’s arrival, he might have been forced to give up as well.
...
A few days later!
Zhang Mo and Li Yun had already returned to the West Gate early for assembly.
Here, countless examinees gathered.
Although almost everyone looked quite disheveled, their spirits were good.
Because they were still here, it meant that they had all completed their hunting tasks and gained the qualification to continue participating in this exam.
“You all did well. There are even more than I expected.”
With a slightly smiling voice, Yang Yu Tong appeared in front of everyone.
She said loudly:
“The final exam will be in ten days. The specific time and location will be notified by text message.”
“Over the next few days, you can rest well and further increase your strength.”
“Alright, dismissed.”
With that, many of the examinees left.
They had been exhausted from the past few days of living in the wilderness.
Li Yun put his arm around Zhang Mo's neck and said, “What do you say, shall we go celebrate?”
Zhang Mo happily replied, “What, go to the Grand Mansion Restaurant again?”
Li Yun laughed loudly, “Haha, that’s easy. Do you think I’m afraid you’ll eat me out of house and home?”
Then!
The two went to the Grand Mansion Restaurant and had a feast before parting ways.
......
Back home.
Zhang Mo summoned the system panel.
【Life Stealing: Six Hundred and Ninety Years】
“Really, I killed so many beasts, and that’s all I got.”
Looking at the text message, Zhang Mo muttered to himself.
“Forget it, it’s not a bad harvest.”
“With so much Life Stealing, it’s time to upgrade my warrior level.”
After a moment’s thought, Zhang Mo took out his Beast Hunter certificate and began logging into the exchange interface.
As for Third-Rank martial arts, he couldn’t count on the school library.
They were rare to find in the market as well.
He could only see if he could exchange for a good martial art using Merit Points.
Entering the interface, Zhang Mo saw his Merit Points.
【Merit Points: 35】
The so-called Merit Points were given to the Beast Hunters based on the beasts they killed.
Based on their strength and the harm they caused, there were corresponding standards.
Zhang Mo's Merit Points, although not many, were worth a lot.
At least in the exchange interface, a Second-Rank martial art only cost ten Merit Points.
