Chapter 56 - 56 56 Stand Out Keep Reading!

56: Chapter 56: Stand Out (Keep Reading!) 56: Chapter 56: Stand Out (Keep Reading!) “First place, Xu Zhou?”

“Killed 1 first-tier mutant beast and 10 zero-tier mutant beasts?”

“How is this possible?

He’s only a first-year high school student!”

Jiang Lan stared at the high school massacre rankings in front of her, a trace of confusion appearing on her pure face.

She had only killed 6 zero-tier mutant beasts.

But Xu Zhou had already killed 11?

And one of them was a first-tier mutant beast!

How could this be possible?

Beside her, Zhao Hongying exclaimed, “Is this Xu Zhou really the one you know?”

She initially thought it was just a coincidence of names.

“It’s him.” Jiang Lan nodded, growing more puzzled.

Zhao Hongying also showed a trace of surprise on her face.

A first-year student killing a first-tier mutant beast?

That’s like a newborn baby taking down an adult!

…

At the same time.

In the steel fortress outside, a large meeting room was also abuzz.

The mentors from all the key martial arts universities were staring at the big screen in shock.

[First place: Xu Zhou.

Killed 1 first-tier, level 2 mutant beast, 10 zero-tier mutant beasts]

“First on the high school massacre rankings, Xu Zhou?”

“First-tier level 2…

that’s stronger than some newly initiated First Rank Martial Artists!”

“A first-year student capable of killing a first-tier level 2 mutant beast?

That’s too absurd!”

The mentors were all shocked.

Even though they were mentors from key martial arts universities, with very high standards,

they had never seen a student who could kill a first-tier mutant beast as a first-year!

In their first year, students had just awakened and had trained for less than a year.

No matter what, it’s impossible to rival a First Rank Martial Artist!

The current situation surprised everyone.

Even the usually calm Liu Qingyuan showed a hint of surprise on his face.

At this moment, Lin Yao suddenly said, “I just checked Xu Zhou’s teammate, a girl named Li Ruoxi, whose abilities are nearly at the level of second-time Foundation Establishment.”

“Could it be she helped with the kill?” Lin Yao speculated.

At this, the mentors were taken aback.

Many quickly looked up Li Ruoxi’s information.

“Second-time Foundation Establishment?

Really!”

“Qi-Blood reached 159 cards, swordsmanship third-level perfection, movement technique third-level perfection, boxing third-level perfection?

This girl named Li Ruoxi is remarkably outstanding?”

Some mentors were surprised, as they had mostly reviewed the profiles of students from the inner city.

They hadn’t had time to look at those from the Outer City District yet.

But Li Ruoxi’s profile was better than many inner-city students!

“Three years of high school, mastered three battle techniques, and all to perfection?”

“This girl’s talent is not inferior to those prodigies in the inner city!”

Many mentors lit up, quickly jotting down notes.

This girl needed to be closely watched!

Meanwhile, several mentors remembered Xu Zhou’s case.

“So, Xu Zhou’s achievements were all assisted by this girl?”

“Most likely, yes.”

The mentors all nodded, previously finding it unbelievable, but now it seemed not so unusual.

Having such a strong teammate, killing a first-tier level 2 mutant beast wasn’t surprising!

Beside them, Liu Qingyuan frowned, “If the kills were all by the teammate, why are they all credited to Xu Zhou?”

“Unless, that kid also contributed significantly.”

Liu Qingyuan’s gaze deepened; he knew that Xu Zhou had the ability to kill zero-tier mutant beasts.

But first-tier level 2 mutant beast?

Indeed something a first-year student couldn’t handle.

Even some newly initiated First Rank Martial Artists might not manage it!

“Never mind.” Quickly, Liu Qingyuan thought to himself, “With such a powerful teammate, that kid won’t die in the Thousand Demon Cave.”

As for whether those mutant beasts were killed by Xu Zhou or not?

Time will tell.

In the Thousand Demon Cave, mutant beasts are everywhere.

If Xu Zhou’s achievements are real, his kill count will undoubtedly rise.

Otherwise, it would mean the achievements are in question.

With a sense of expectation, Liu Qingyuan silently waited.

Not only did he wait, but the other mentors were also waiting.

As time progresses, true geniuses will surely emerge from the slaughter.

While those merely riding on reputation will ultimately be revealed and fall from grace in this brutal battlefield.

Genius or mediocrity?

Time will provide the answer!

…

Elsewhere.

“Because of a teammate?” Jiang Lan murmured to herself.

They also guessed that Xu Zhou might have a powerful teammate!

Beside her, Zhao Hongying analyzed, “No high school would allow a first-year student into the Thousand Demon Cave.”

“Xu Zhou being there is likely due to having a strong and close relationship with a teammate.”

She speculated, “He topped the rankings probably because of that teammate.”

“Maybe.” Jiang Lan nodded thoughtfully, acknowledging the possibility.

“Seems they got quite lucky.” Zhao Hongying laughed, “Encountering so many mutant beasts right upon entering.”

“Unlike us, who had to search everywhere to find just a few.”

She sighed lightly.

“Let’s leave him aside.” Jiang Lan regained her calm, saying, “We’ll head further towards the inner area, where there will be more first-tier mutant beasts.”

The slaughter had just begun; she wasn’t too concerned about the top position.

Whoever claimed it didn’t matter to her, but it being Xu Zhou made her competitive.

They needed to bring Xu Zhou down quickly!

…

At that moment, in the Thousand Demon Cave.

Everyone saw a stranger’s name at the top of the rankings.

Most didn’t care, as they were immersed in frenzied killing.

In the vast wasteland.

“Boom!”

Huang Yunxuan cleaved open a zero-tier mutant beast’s body with a faint disdain on his face.

“This Thousand Demon Cave doesn’t seem as dangerous as rumored,” he muttered.

Not far away, Liu He killed a mutant beast and then walked towards Huang Yunxuan.

“In the outer region, few can threaten us,” Liu He said calmly, “Unless a first-tier level 5 or above mutant beast appears.”

At this moment, his expression changed slightly.

He opened his wristband projection.

“Xu Zhou?” Liu He looked at the rankings with a hint of surprise, “He made it to the top.”

Huang Yunxuan’s expression shifted; he quickly opened the rankings for a glance.

“First-tier mutant beast?” Huang Yunxuan’s pupils shrank.

“It’s likely Li Ruoxi helped with the kill,” Liu He said calmly.

Huang Yunxuan nodded; it was probably the case, otherwise, Xu Zhou’s progress would be terrifying.

Liu He gave him a glance, “When will your Qi-Blood break through 150 cards?”

“Soon, within these two days.” Huang Yunxuan said gravely.

Liu He nodded, continuing, “Then locate Li Ruoxi right now; if she’s too far, we’ll have to set off immediately.”

“Alright.” Huang Yunxuan nodded.

He said no more, sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes.

“Buzz!”

A faint spiritual fluctuation spread out.

He was exhibiting his B-level exploration talent, which, strictly speaking, was also a type of spiritual talent.

Normally, Huang Yunxuan could locate his target within a few minutes.

But this time, it took him a full half-hour.

After half an hour.

“Puff!”

Huang Yunxuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, then suddenly opened his eyes.

“Found it!” He looked at Liu He, yelled lowly.

Liu He’s eyes brightened, “Where?”

Huang Yunxuan looked somewhat grim, “Very far, almost beyond my detection range…

Northwest direction, at least over two hundred kilometers from us.”

“Northwest direction, two hundred kilometers?” Liu He frowned slightly.

“That’s just a rough estimate; my talent can only detect so much,” Huang Yunxuan gritted his teeth, “In fact, it might be over five hundred kilometers.”

Possibly over five hundred kilometers?

Liu He looked towards the northwest and murmured, “Then that’s near the inner perimeter of the Thousand Demon Cave.”

Trekking five hundred kilometers to find a woman?

Frankly, a normal person wouldn’t do this.

But…

Liu He wasn’t exactly normal.

As a collateral member of a major inner city family, he lived in the shadow of the direct lineage from an early age, obsessing over the status he could not claim.

This unfulfilled desire gave him a dreadful personality.

He harbored a near-obsessive pursuit of things he couldn’t have, and once obtained, he would cruelly toy with them.

Such as women.

A hint of madness flickered in Liu He’s eyes.

He then looked at Huang Yunxuan, “Rest for a bit, then we’ll depart immediately.”

Huang Yunxuan looked at him surprisedly.

He originally thought Liu He would give up, but unexpectedly, he still planned to continue.

“Alright.” Huang Yunxuan didn’t think much, simply nodding.

In reality, even if Liu He gave up, he wouldn’t.

This trip to the Thousand Demon Cave was his only chance to settle scores with Xu Zhou.

No matter the cost, he had to eliminate Xu Zhou.

Not just because of the grudge between him and Xu Zhou, but more importantly, Xu Zhou’s rapid growth unnerved him.

Huang Yunxuan’s face was extremely cold; he took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

…

The Thousand Demon Cave was filled with intense battles everywhere.

Time kept flowing.

Eight hours had passed in the blink of an eye.

The rankings on the slaughter board constantly changed, with new names appearing and veterans dropping off.

The battles grew more intense!

Meanwhile, in the outside meeting room, Liu Qingyuan looked increasingly grave.

Xu Zhou’s results hadn’t changed!

The achievements were the same now as they were eight hours ago.

Now, Xu Zhou had even fallen off the slaughter rankings!

But not just Xu Zhou, Li Ruoxi’s achievements also hadn’t changed at all.

At this moment, Liu Qingyuan and the other mentors were no longer focused on the results.

They were more concerned about something else.

“Eight hours, and it’s impossible not to have encountered a single mutant beast!”

Liu Qingyuan’s expression grew increasingly worried, “Unless something happened!”

Finally, he couldn’t hold back and sternly said, “Request the military to locate Xu Zhou’s position!

If it’s not allowed, say it’s on my orders!”

A mentor nodded and quickly contacted the military.

Soon, the screen flickered, and a map appeared.

Everyone focused their attention.

The map was expansive, marking terrain, numbers, and more, covering a fifty-kilometer radius.

A flashing red dot was right in the center of the map.

That red dot was where Xu Zhou was located.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as the red dot meant Xu Zhou was alive.

But soon, the mentors realized something, their hearts skipped a beat.

There was only one red dot?

This meant…

the vast map had only Xu Zhou!

Liu Qingyuan’s expression changed, “What’s going on?

Did Xu Zhou separate from his teammate?”

“Hmm?

This kid, why did he run to the inner region!”

Liu Qingyuan looked at the map in shock, his expression quickly turning dreadful.

Simultaneously, other mentors widened their eyes, faces filled with disbelief.

The map showed Xu Zhou was completely alone within a fifty-kilometer radius!

Moreover, he wasn’t in the outer region but had ventured into the more dangerous inner region of the Thousand Demon Cave!

A first-year student going solo in the cave’s inner region?

Without even a teammate!

“Why would he go to the inner region alone?” Lin Yao’s beautiful face showed astonishment.

A first-year student, all alone in the inner region!

Is this bravery, or simply foolishness?

The mentors exchanged glances, drawing sharp breaths.

This kid, he was probably in serious trouble!

Only Liu Qingyuan stared at the screen, his brows deeply furrowed, eyes filled with profound anxiety.
