Chapter 55 - 55 55 Killing the Top of the List!

55: Chapter 55: Killing the Top of the List!

Jiang Lan’s Shock (Chase Read!) 55: Chapter 55: Killing the Top of the List!

Jiang Lan’s Shock (Chase Read!) “Whoosh!”

Like a sharp arrow.

Xu Zhou burst forth with his sword, his Qi-Blood rushing violently, all injected into the E300 Tang knife.

The advantages of the Xia Family’s custom-made weapon were fully displayed at this moment.

Any weapon, when infused with Qi-Blood, would produce some resistance.

But at this moment, Xu Zhou felt no resistance whatsoever.

His Qi-Blood, like a cascading torrent, surged out and then gathered entirely within the Tang knife.

“Hoo!”

The blade, white as snow, took on a faint red hue at that moment.

“Kill!” Xu Zhou shouted explosively, slashing at the giant black cat with his knife.

Boom!

The crimson blade light slashed down, and at the moment of collision with the black cat, the condensed Qi-Blood power erupted like a bomb.

“Awoo!”

The black cat let out a miserable howl, its massive body knocked back in retreat.

A gruesome wound split open on its shoulder, with bright red blood gushing out.

Its fur bristled, showing signs of pain, clearly suffering severe injuries.

Behind, Li Ruoxi witnessed this scene, a trace of surprise on her pretty face.

That was a First Rank, level 2 mutant beast.

Xu Zhou actually injured it with a single slash?

Isn’t he someone who hasn’t even reached 120 units of Qi-Blood?

Looking at the vaguely burly figure, Li Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes were slightly dazed, with some surprise and confusion.

Soon, she revealed a stunning smile.

Who cares, getting stronger is a good thing.

If someday Xu Zhou becomes stronger than her, she would only feel gratified and happy.

“Roar~!”

At this time, the ten 0-Rank mutant beasts around them also launched an attack.

Ten ferocious beast shadows pounced towards Xu Zhou and Li Ruoxi.

“Hoo!”

Li Ruoxi flew forward, standing behind Xu Zhou, shielding him from the mutant beasts attempting to ambush.

Brilliant sword light lit up, sweeping in all directions!

Xu Zhou didn’t hold back, slashing with his knife at the black cat and the other 0-Rank mutant beasts.

He seemed to transform into a blade of light, merging with the sword, sweeping across the battlefield continuously.

The two cooperated seamlessly, with the sword light sweeping around and the sword energy rampant.

The cries of wounded mutant beasts resounded!

Twenty minutes later.

Li Ruoxi suddenly stepped back.

“Boom!”

A crimson blade light swept out.

The long knife slashed down!

A gigantic, ferocious cat head fell to the ground.

The remaining 0-Rank mutant beasts were also all slashed open, falling dead where they stood.

“Thud—”

The gruesome corpses of the mutant beasts fell to the ground one after another.

Xu Zhou landed back on the ground, looking at Li Ruoxi helplessly: “You don’t need to let all the kill counts go to me.”

During the last strike, Li Ruoxi let him take it, essentially letting him have all the kill counts.

It was equivalent to Xu Zhou killing all eleven mutant beasts.

“I didn’t let you,” Li Ruoxi said, her almond eyes looking at him, “It’s what you earned.”

Although she contributed a lot in the battle, Xu Zhou’s displayed prowess was entirely capable of slaying these mutant beasts.

Xu Zhou shook his head with a smile, saying no more.

“Buzz!”

At this moment, the wristband on his wrist flashed with a light.

Then, it projected beams of light to form a display screen in front of Xu Zhou.

“Huh?” Xu Zhou was slightly stunned.

On the screen, a ranking list was prominently displayed.

“High School Slaughter Ranking?” Xu Zhou’s eyes lit up.

Li Ruoxi also leaned over.

[1st place: Xu Zhou: 1 First Rank mutant beast killed, 10 Zero Rank mutant beasts killed.]

The first thing they saw was a prominently highlighted red ranking, which was Xu Zhou.

“First place?” Xu Zhou was somewhat stunned.

He guessed he would make the list, but he didn’t expect to ascend to first place so quickly?

Beside him, Li Ruoxi’s face also displayed a slight smile.

“Looks like we’re lucky, encountering a small group of beasts just after entering the Thousand Demon Cave,” she said.

Xu Zhou nodded.

Indeed.

They had just entered and encountered a First Rank mutant beast.

Other teams might not have had such luck.

In the outskirts of the Thousand Demon Cave, there were many Zero Rank mutant beasts, but relatively fewer First Rank ones.

Plus, the Thousand Demon Cave was vast, and encountering a First Rank wasn’t easy.

For example, the second place on the list was a girl named “Fang Ting.”

She killed 8, all Zero Rank mutant beasts.

“Sister, let’s continue!” Xu Zhou put away the list, eyes filled with eagerness.

He didn’t want to give up this first place to anyone else!

Since he obtained it, he aimed to keep it!

Just in time, his knife skills were about to reach Perfection.

All he needed was real combat!

Xu Zhou was ready.

In the coming days, he planned to immerse himself in slaughter, rapidly honing himself through relentless combat!

“Wait a moment.” Li Ruoxi suddenly said, then walked toward the black cat’s corpse.

“Sizzle!”

She sliced open the black cat’s chest with a swift sword cut, retrieving a bloody heart.

“The most valuable thing on a mutant beast,” Li Ruoxi said coolly, “is this.”

Seeing Xu Zhou’s confusion, she explained, “The beast heart contains extremely pure Qi-Blood power, and most training potions are refined from beast hearts.”

Xu Zhou suddenly understood.

No wonder it tasted like blood when he drank it before.

Li Ruoxi continued, “In some mutant beasts’ hearts, beast cores can form, which are truly valuable, selling for tens of thousands at a high price.”

“Beast core?” Xu Zhou was slightly taken aback.

“You’ll understand when you encounter one,” Li Ruoxi didn’t elaborate, extracting the hearts of the other mutant beasts one by one.

“One First Rank beast heart, ten Zero Rank beast hearts, together worth tens of thousands of yuan.”

She packed the beast hearts into her backpack, her pretty face radiating a captivating smile.

Xu Zhou also revealed a slight smile.

They had just entered the Thousand Demon Cave for less than half an hour and had already earned thousands!

They planned to stay for another two months.

By the end, how abundant would the harvest be?

“Let’s go.” Li Ruoxi took the lead and walked forward.

Xu Zhou nodded, quickly catching up.

…

While Xu Zhou and Li Ruoxi continued their journey.

In another forest within the Thousand Demon Cave.

“Boom!”

A brilliant blood-red spear radiance shone like a great sun, illuminating the surroundings.

Jiang Lan, clad in white armor and wielding a long spear, pierced through the heads of two mutant beasts with one thrust.

The colossal mutant beast corpses crashed to the ground.

“Too weak.” Jiang Lan withdrew her spear, her pure face devoid of emotion.

She shouldered the spear and stood proudly.

The mutant beasts in this area had been completely cleared by her.

Jiang Lan looked towards another side, where a girl in red armor also finished her battle.

That was her teammate, a legitimate daughter of an Inner City Family named Zhao Hongying.

“Hong Ying, how many did you kill?” Jiang Lan asked.

“The third one.” Zhao Hongying walked over, her face showing a trace of helplessness: “I can’t compare to you, you’ve killed six already.”

Zhao Hongying’s looks might not match Jiang Lan’s exquisite beauty, but she had an excellent figure.

Holding a long tassel, her figure was graceful, especially the fullness of her chest.

Her long, attractive legs were partially visible under the red battle skirt, white and tender.

Jiang Lan shook her head: “They’re just Zero Rank mutant beasts, nothing worth boasting about.”

“Let’s go, we’ll head to the next place, hopefully to encounter a First Rank mutant beast.”

She glanced at Zhao Hongying, smiling: “This time in the Thousand Demon Cave, aim to get second place.”

As for first place?

Naturally, it was hers.

Jiang Lan had that confidence!

Hearing this, Zhao Hongying shook her head: “This time, there are some very strong individuals, getting second might be tough.”

“No worries, with me around, you can do it.” Jiang Lan smiled, confident in her capability.

Staying by her side, even picking up the leftovers could secure second place!

“Let’s not talk about this first.”

Zhao Hongying chuckled, “Lanlan, I heard that on your way to the Thousand Demon Cave, you went to see that special S-grade Talent?”

“Why did you only give a D-grade treatment later?”

A trace of doubt appeared on Zhao Hongying’s face.

She was naturally referring to Xu Zhou.

This had been a question in many people’s minds.

An S-grade Talent was rare, even within the Inner City.

But Jiang Lan only gave a D-grade treatment, leading many to speculate about hidden reasons.

But it was a matter of the Jiang Family, and Jiang Lan’s high reputation made most people wary, thus they wouldn’t ask about such private matters.

Only Zhao Hongying, as Jiang Lan’s close friend, dared to ask.

Hearing this, Jiang Lan’s face remained calmly composed: “That person indeed has a strong talent, but I felt he was only worth D-grade treatment at the time.”

“Why?” Zhao Hongying became even more curious.

“There’s no why,” Jiang Lan said indifferently, “You’ll understand later.

The treatment I gave wasn’t unfair to him.”

She didn’t mention Xu Zhou’s beast talent, which was his privacy.

If the Jiang Family casually disclosed others’ privacy using the unique nature of the virtual world, they wouldn’t have come this far.

Jiang Lan understood this well.

So, she concealed the matter of Xu Zhou’s talent.

The Inner City families had countless speculations about it, but talent wasn’t one of them.

After all, regarding talent, Linjiang First High School had already set a precedent for everyone.

Xu Zhou’s talent was beyond doubt!

The prevailing speculation was that Xu Zhou’s performance at the time didn’t match an S-grade talent.

For instance, due to some illness, his Qi-Blood growth was slow.

Historically, there were indeed such cases.

A certain S-grade Awakener suffered an incurable disease, causing Qi-Blood to naturally wither.

Even with S-grade talent awakened, cultivation was much harder.

Ultimately, he couldn’t even reach the third-grade and died from illness.

At this moment, Zhao Hongying held a similar belief: “Could there be some Innate defect you looked down upon, Lanlan?”

Jiang Lan glanced at her and remained silent.

Xu Zhou didn’t have an Innate defect, but she indeed looked down on him.

Moreover, that guy was just in the first year of high school, running to the Thousand Demon Cave to court death, which to her was akin to being reckless.

“Hopefully, that guy doesn’t die here,” Jiang Lan mused, “I still want to see where you stand in two years.”

She still held a grudge over her grandfather’s scolding.

“Lanlan!” suddenly, Zhao Hongying exclaimed, “Look at the High School Slaughter List, someone named Xu Zhou is at the top!”

“What?”

Jiang Lan was taken aback, then quickly opened her wristband to look at the ranking.

Soon, a trace of astonishment appeared on her charming face.
