Chapter 46: Chapter 43 Magnetic Thunder Fruit

The slaughter continued, but Wang Xu quickly discovered that the energy provided by Tier Six insect beasts was far less than before.

In a game, the experience gained from defeating a higher-level monster is substantial, but defeating one at the same level decreases the experience. Similarly, the mysterious flame engulfed the Tier Six insect beast, releasing significantly less energy.

So Wang Xu simply stopped and planned to challenge Tier Seven insect beasts the next day.

Tier Seven is the watershed; students below Tier Seven can only be called elite, but upon reaching Tier Seven, they attain Master Level.

For Tier Six students, Tier Seven is a difficult hurdle to overcome; a Master Level expert at Tier Seven often can annihilate a battle group composed entirely of Tier Six students.

Such is the power of Tier Seven.

Lei Beng indeed has such power and, therefore, confidently holds a hundred percent conviction.

To Lei Beng, Tier Six are like children before him, utterly vulnerable, while Tier Five is akin to ants, susceptible to being crushed by two fingers.

But Lei Beng never expected Wang Xu to possess fist power comparable to Tier Seven, an exceedingly nimble Body Technique that even he himself did not possess, and at a critical moment, comprehended the Secret Technique of "Sword Romance," meeting his end through his own confidence.

Wang Xu is now Tier Six; a couple of Tier Seven insect beasts pose no threat at all, and even when faced with ten, his Heart Level Body Technique remains more than enough. However, if faced with an onslaught from hundreds of Tier Seven insect beasts, even Wang Xu would have to flee in panic.

An attack from hundreds of Tier Seven insect beasts is not as simple as one plus one; even top-tier Tier Eight experts would need to detour, or else they might perish under the relentless attack. Only peak Tier Nine experts have the capability to survive such a siege.

After casually tidying up, Wang Xu caught the train to the battle group base and returned to his room.

He enjoyed a soothing shower, gradually easing the nerves tense for days, eliminating half of the fatigue, then opened the Light Computer and entered the virtual network.

The virtual network is the best source of information; occasionally, every few days, Wang Xu would go online to catch up on recent happenings, a habit he had since his time at the Genetics Academy.

Since joining the Genius Battle Group, Wang Xu almost never went online, as pressure compelled him to seize every moment for cultivation, leaving no room for concern about the outside world.

Now, as Wang Xu casually browsed, opening the exclusive forum of the battle group base, he was momentarily stunned.

"Blood Hand Incident?" Wang Xu clicked into the post detailing the Blood Hand Incident and carefully read it through, his face changing color.

He clicked on another post about the Blood Hand Incident, where apart from regional differences, the scenes described were identical.

After browsing several more posts about the Blood Hand Incident, Wang Xu finally realized he had almost caused a huge disaster.

"I didn’t expect that my large-scale slaughter these days turned out to be an ’insect beast cleaning.’ Luckily, I left the insect nest, otherwise, the upper echelons of the battle group would certainly have sent someone to hunt me down." Wang Xu shuddered.

Having understood, Wang Xu realized the consequences his massacre had caused; almost all the Tier Six insect beasts in the entire B-level region were monopolized by him alone, and to restore primordial qi, it would take at least ten days or half a month.

In these ten days or half a month, B-level tasks assigned by other battle groups were essentially ruined.

Wang Xu closed the Light Computer and took a deep breath; he could no longer go to the B-level region, and his plan to earn contribution points also had to be shelved.

Wang Xu initially planned to, after advancing to Tier Six, collect large numbers of insect beast corpses to sell and exchange for contribution points.

A Tier Six insect beast corpse ranges between 8,000 and 30,000 contribution points.

A Tier Seven insect beast corpse ranges between 50,000 and 200,000 contribution points.

At his current rate of hunting, he could accrue over a billion contribution points in a day, and in just half a month, he could help the Black Whip Blue Sword trio pay off their surgery fees.

Such an unprecedented terrifying speed could only be achieved by Wang Xu; for other battle groups, fifteen billion contribution points would take an indefinite period to accrue.

However, Wang Xu was preoccupied with the plan and neglected the reality.

If he sold a large quantity of insect beast corpses, it would definitely draw attention from the upper echelons, indirectly proving that he was the mastermind behind the insect beast cleaning.

The upper echelons refrained from apprehending him because they wished to avoid trouble; it’s impossible for them to deal with humans over insect beasts, but when such detrimental monopolistic incidents arise, causing dissatisfaction, the upper echelons must step in to cover it up.

Wang Xu broke into a cold sweat, realizing he hadn’t considered enough factors.

"Fortunately, I stopped in time." Wang Xu secretly sighed in relief.

Spam posts about the Blood Hand Incident filled the battle group forum, yet no one had actually seen Wang Xu’s true face. Wang Xu deliberately avoided crowds while hunting insect beasts.

Gradually calming his heart, Wang Xu planned to stay in the Cultivation Room to cultivate and let the storm of the Blood Hand Incident fade over time.

Wang Xu quieted down, and large-scale insect beast cleaning incidents ceased occurring in the B-level insect beast region. After two days passed, the insect nest once again spawned new insect beasts, and battle groups executing tasks began to get busy, as the storm of the Blood Hand Incident arrived quickly and dissipated quickly.

...

On the fifth day, Wang Xu duly reported at the Black Eye Battle Group base.

Upon entering, Wang Xu saw the spacious conference room, where around an oval wooden table about ten meters long, twelve individuals sat.

"New member, Wang Xu."

The cold-hearted man sitting at the center was unexpectedly the leader of the Black Eye Battle Group, the God of Slaughter.

God of Slaughter uttered a sentence, signaling Wang Xu to sit down.

There was another empty seat at the oval wooden table reserved for Wang Xu, making the Black Eye Battle Group complete with thirteen members including Wang Xu.

Wang Xu nodded as he walked to his seat, secretly observing these twelve people.

Twelve individuals, each possessing extremely powerful auras, especially the two standing by the sides of the leader, the God of Slaughter, a man and a woman, whose strength surpassed Yan Cheng.

The people present were different from the rumors outside. Wang Xu had heard most were Tier Seven, but now, seeing them, realized that apart from one Tier Seven Master-Level expert and the Tier Nine leader, the rest were all Tier Eight elites!

The terrifying lineup slightly moved Wang Xu, as he slowly sat down, all eyes gathered on him.

Everyone saw through Wang Xu’s realm, Tier Six, a mere Tier Six, easily crushable with a finger, yet their gaze wasn’t disdainful or contemptuous; instead, it was solemn.

Because this was someone recognized by the God of Slaughter!

They knew the God of Slaughter well, clearer than anyone else about his discerning eye. Which one present wasn’t the elite among elites, the strong among the strong? Even if it’s a Tier Six little guy, as long as the God of Slaughter picks him, he is certainly extraordinary.

Surrounded by a rushing and robust aura, any Tier Six student under such powerful pressure might struggle to maintain a calm demeanor, but Wang Xu maintained a solemn expression, unmoved by their powerful aura.

Just this fact slightly elevated Wang Xu’s image in the eyes of many group members.

"Cold-blooded, Sword Tip, Poison Thorn, you three come out."

The God of Slaughter’s tone was icy, and as the words fell, two men and a woman slowly stood up, their gaze flickering, not daring to meet the eyes of the God of Slaughter.

"Yesterday’s S-Level mission, I informed you three days in advance, yet only you three were absent. Where did you go?"

The temperature in the meeting room instantly plummeted, the cold words seemed like chilling ice, causing the palms of the three to tremble slightly.

The three lowered their heads, remaining silent.

Boom!

The God of Slaughter suddenly struck out a palm into the void, instantly making the three of their figures fly out like bullets, all crashing into the wall.

With one palm, he sent flying three Tier Eight experts.

Wang Xu showed no fluctuation on the surface, but his heart surged with tumultuous waves.

The leader, the God of Slaughter, did not cultivate Palm Technique, as beside his right hand lay an unsheathed Bronze Sword, the sword was rusty, aged, an antique without any modern technology.

Yet the God of Slaughter, with just a casual palm, could send flying three Tier Eight elite experts. The terrifying force couldn’t help but make Wang Xu secretly astonished.

Is this the power of Tier Nine?

Wang Xu glanced lightly, seeing the three weren’t severely injured, but his pupils suddenly contracted sharply!

The S-Level armor worn by the three was completely scrapped.

As it turns out, the God of Slaughter didn’t hold back, truly punishing the three, just that the S-Level armor absorbed the palm, completely scrapping it, preventing them from being injured.

With just a space-striking palm, so formidable!

Wang Xu gradually became more respectful of the God of Slaughter.

"This is the first and last time. The Black Eye Battle Group does not need useless beings acting on their own!" The God of Slaughter’s words fell, and the three returned to their seats with pale faces.

From start to finish, everyone’s gaze was extremely calm, without a ripple.

"The next mission will be in a month, prepare well." Finished speaking, the God of Slaughter took up the Bronze Sword and left the meeting room.

Once the meeting room’s door closed, the room instantly became lively, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh my, my newly bought S-Level armor, cost me millions of Contribution Points," a young man in black shouted with distress.

"Give it a rest ’Sword Tip’, luckily this S-Level mission went relatively smoothly, otherwise it wouldn’t just be a matter of an S-Level armor," said a seductive woman on the left, "Tell us, why didn’t you attend this mission?"

"We encountered ’Magnetic Thunder Fruit’!" the punished skinny man replied.

Upon hearing Magnetic Thunder Fruit, everyone’s eyes lit up except Wang Xu, the seductive woman immediately asked, "Cold-blooded, did you get the Magnetic Thunder Fruit?"

"Needless to say, if it wasn’t to acquire the Magnetic Thunder Fruit, do you think we would willingly defy the leader’s orders?" The punished slender woman replied, "Sword Tip, take out the Magnetic Thunder Fruit and let them have a look."

"Hehe." Sword Tip chuckled, flipping his hand, a silver-white, iron fruit resembling a lead ball appeared in his hand.

"Magnetic Thunder Fruit, it’s real!" Even Lian Yancheng couldn’t remain calm seeing it.

Everyone grew excited, except Wang Xu was puzzled, having no idea what this Magnetic Thunder Fruit was or what it did, but he could guess that this Magnetic Thunder Fruit was certainly not simple, otherwise, it wouldn’t make so many Tier Eight elites so covetous.

"Brother Yan, what is this Magnetic Thunder Fruit? What use does it have?" Everyone was gathered around Sword Tip, repeatedly examining the Magnetic Thunder Fruit, Wang Xu walked over to Yan Cheng and quietly asked.

A nearby man in white clothes heard, chuckling lightly: "Brother Wang Xu, the Magnetic Thunder Fruit is a great thing that can be used to refine Genetic Potions, invaluable!"

"Genetic Potion?" Wang Xu became even more puzzled.

"You obviously don’t know much about cultivation resources. Let me explain it to you." The man in white enthusiastically said.
