Chapter 89

Roar!

A monster over 30-meter-long, with vicious eyes and spiky body, much like an alligator, was growling at Ling Jiu . Lying silently not far from this beast was the body of a python .

This was a Class-6 Direbeast, the Spiky Monitor Lizard .

Right now, this Spiky Monitor Lizard was really pissed . While it was about to enjoy the fruit of its labor after killing a giant python with hard effort, Ling Jiu came out of nowhere to ruin the feast .

It vowed it would teach Ling Jiu an unforgettable lesson, let him know that Sir . Spiky was not someone he could afford to mess with .

Roar!

The Spiky Monitor Lizard flicked its ten-meter-long tail to attack Ling Jiu .

Like its body, its tail was full of tough and sharp spikes, which, other than the teeth, were his strongest and most lethal weapon .

This tail could cut a heavy tank in half, let alone a person .

However, just as the Spiky Monitor Lizard struck its tail like a bolt of lightning at its target, Ling Jiu had already disappeared from the spot .

The next moment, he reappeared above the Spiky Monitor Lizard’s head and struck down with an Eightfold Rolling Thunder .

Ling Jiu’s fist carrying a powerful energy punched through the Spiky Monitor Lizard’s skull until his entire arm entered inside the head .

The Direbeast froze . Its body twitched violently for a moment before it became motionless, dead .

“Five consecutive kills of Class-Six Direbeasts have proved that the combo of Teleportation and Tungsten Form is a killer move when it comes to Class-Six Direbeasts . I need to build on this momentum to hunt eighty Class-Six Direbeast today!”

A Class-6 Direbeast was worth 10,000 points; 80 of these Direbeasts would earn him 800,000 points .

If he could kill 80 of these Direbeasts a day, he would have 240 kills in three days .

That would mean 2 . 4 million points for him .

By the looks of things, getting the top spot on the leaderboard should not be a problem .

“But killing eighty Class-Six Direbeasts a day was a tall order . ”

Ling Jiu mumbled to himself . He kept the Spiky Monitor Lizard’s body and moved on to find another Class-6 Direbeast .

He went from one Direbeast to the next .

Every one of them had died at Ling Jiu’s iron fist . By going it alone, Ling Jiu had liberated his combat strength to the fullest extent .

Getting near to a Direbeast by teleportation;

Immobilizing it with the Gravity Arcana;

Killing it with the Tungsten Form .

Ling Jiu did not even need to use his Earth Manipulation arcana, much less the Shadowform .

This was not without reasons . In the race to harvest the Direbeasts, the Earth Manipulation arcana seemed to be a little inefficient—it was not fast and brutal enough .

“I need to get the personal details of the other trainees so I can select my next target to replicate arcana . The cooling-off period is about to expire!”

In Ling Jiu’s original plan, his next target was Chang Jiandong’s Hundredfold Gene Arcana . But it was impossible now, considering they were too far apart from each other .

He had no choice but to target the other trainees in the training camp .

…

It was nightfall . As darkness engulfed the Australian continent, the howls and growls of beasts rose in tandem . Many Direbeasts that slept during the day had come out to forage at night .

After an exhaustive day of hunting, Ling Jiu found a suitable place, released his maglev airship, and set it in stealth mode as he rested for the day inside it .

He lay in a bathtub then let out a comfort sigh as he had his muscles relaxed in warm water .

“What a day! I have killed seventy-two Class-Six Direbeasts, still falling short of the 80-Direbeast target . But, hey, it is not bad . At least it is more than last week’s three days combined . ”

Ling Jiu was satisfied . He believed he could make it to Top Three this time .

He could not hold back his excitement at the thinking of the advanced vitality-enhancement fluid, advanced Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid, and the right to use the Level-1 chambers in the Twelve Underground Chambers .

Meow!

While Ling Jiu’s mind was drifting away, the cry of a cat came to ear .

He was sure the airship had top-notch sound insulation . So where did this cat crying come from?

Ling Jiu looked up . Not far away from the bathtub, a black cat of about a-meter-long was squatting on the table .

It was purplish black; its eyes were like rubies; its coat was fluffy . It was definitely a cute-looking cat, which was a to-die-for pet for many young girls .

But Ling Jiu felt a chill run up his spine as he saw the big black cat . It might look adorable, but those who recognized it would have their hair standing on end .

“It is the Celestial Magical Cat, a Class-Eight Direbeast that is ranked seventy-​second on the list of Direbeasts!”

Ling Jiu swallowed hard . His heart almost stopped pumping .

The Celestial Magical Cat was a horrible Class-8 Direbeast that had a unique ability—it could go through walls . And it was not limited to just brick walls . No obstacles like land, rock, metal, and tree could stop it . Celestial Magical Cat could pass through these obstacles as if they were not there . This was the creepiest Class-8 Direbeast .

Of course, some people thought that the ability of the Celestial Magical Cats belonged to dematerialization or dimensional arcana . That was the reason it could pass through obstacles .

In short, the Celestial Magical Cats were mysterious and powerful Direbeasts . People had little knowledge of them . It was only aware that they were Direbeasts that people should not mess with .

“D*mn it! How did this horrible thing appear in my airship?”

Ling Jiu cursed quietly . He was ready to perform a Teleportation to flee once there was the slightest movement that showed this Celestial Magical was going to attack .

But it surprised him when the cat walked to a pack of nutritional dried meat, picked it up with its mouth, and started eating . It had no intention of attacking him .

“This thing is after the food?”

Ling Jiu was dumbfounded .

The nutritional dried meat, issued by the training camp, was made from Direbeast meat with some other ingredients and nutrition .

It was not only nutritious but also rich in Gene Arcana . It was the main food source for every trainee entering the wilderness .

Before he came, he had spent over 10,000 dollars buying over 20 packs of this nutritional dried meat, which was very expensive .

Right now, this Celestial Magical Cat was eating a piece of this nutritional dried meat with gusto .

The cat’s teeth were sharp, and the hard and supple dried meat looked like a crispy carrot in its mouth . It finished a piece of dried meat in the blink of an eye .

It then picked up another one and dug in . The cat did not take long to finish all the dried meat .

The Celestial Magical Cat tried to look for more but could not find it . Its ruby-like eyes then gazed at Ling Jiu with eagerness and anticipation .

“It is my freaking food, you know . You have freaking finished them all and left me with nothing!” Ling Jiu cursed quietly .

Meow!

The Celestial Magical Cat cried .

Ling Jiu froze before taking the hint and took out another pack of nutritional dried meat, tore open the wrapping, and handed it to the cat .

“Wildlife is human’s best friend . It is everyone’s duty to protect wildlife!” Ling Jiu acted tough, giving himself a pep talk . “That’s it! I am protecting wildlife . I will not shirk my responsibility to protecting the ecosystem and the Earth!”
