Chapter 120: Chapter 119: League 5, Level Five Snow Lion

"You’ve got to have dreams, after all, they don’t take up any space. Who wouldn’t want those top prizes after seeing them?" Fei Wenxing thought about the generous rewards and shook his head with a sigh.

Qu Tong had only focused on the fact that the competition could earn a lot of points and had forgotten about the rewards.

But with their team’s strength, they could only dream about it.

The prize for the first place was the most generous, it was a custom Mecha for each person, crafted by the Mecha master, Master Yan, whose designs alone were worth millions.

The second place prize was an Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion for each person.

Third place was rewarded with an S-rank virtual storage each.

In addition, any team entering the top three would get internship slots from the six major Legions, with their choice of any.

The rewards for the top three were all very rich, but Qu Tong was only interested in the fifth-place prize, which was a visit to the Agricultural Science Academy.

"I don’t have such a big goal, I just want to get through the first round of the competition, make it into the top 100 in the second round, and successfully advance in my education," he said.

"Me too."

Xu An and He Zhou were very clear about their own strengths and had quite simple ideas.

"We should be able to handle a fifth-level Star Beast if we work together. If we encounter one before we rest for the night, we can try it. After all, we have Mechas, and if we can’t win, we can run," Song Ke suggested.

"That makes sense," Qu Tong felt that Song Ke’s suggestion was worth considering.

After resting for half an hour, Qu Tong led everyone to find the second third-level Star Beast and the third fourth-level Star Beast. On their way, they also encountered two Energy Plants.

But they didn’t encounter any first or second-level Star Beasts.

Their points quickly reached 740, and although they couldn’t compare with the top ten, according to Xu An’s past experience, they were already far ahead of many teams.

The main reason was that other teams spent a lot of time searching for Star Beasts, whereas they had clear targets and hadn’t taken any wrong turns after the first wave.

Even Song Ke couldn’t help but admire, "Qu Tong, sister, choosing you as the team leader was indeed a wise decision. This efficiency is truly extraordinary."

"Tong sister, you’re too amazing," Fei Wenxing said somewhat exaggeratedly.

"Alright, let’s rest for a bit. If you have some Energy Liquid, drink some Nutrient Solution, and before it gets dark, let’s hunt another Star Beast with higher points," Qu Tong instructed.

Qu Tong’s arrangements were reasonable, and there was a sense of relaxation with a clear direction, winning everyone’s respect and agreement.

Everyone took out their Nutrient Solution and drank it. Even Rong Yueqing, who hadn’t participated in the fight, drank a bottle to replenish her strength completely, while He Zhou only drank a bottle of Nutrient Solution.

Seeing this, Qu Tong took out two bottles of Energy Liquid from the Space Button, one for He Zhou and one for Xu An.

He Zhou stretched out his hand to take it and thanked her gratefully.

His attitude was very good.

The overblown self-esteem of the weak is most laughable.

He didn’t think that accepting help from others was anything to be ashamed of, nor did he see it as charity.

He would repay when he could, and if he couldn’t, he would remain grateful.

In the team, he was a weaker member, but he was conscious of his position and didn’t let his laughable pride cause trouble for himself or the team.

Seeing that He Zhou didn’t refuse, Qu Tong felt much relieved.

With a light smile in return, Qu Tong then went around to explore.

There was a fifth-grade Star Beast in the northwest direction, and Qu Tong had already decided that it would be their dinner tonight; the other two third-level Star Beasts could wait until tomorrow to be harvested.

When the huge fifth-level mutated Snow Lion appeared in front of them, there were feelings of blood-pumping excitement as well as nervous unease.

Qu Tong issued orders, "Xu An, Song Ke, Fei Wenxing, Cheng Yao, summon your Mechas and go together; He Zhou, you provide spiritual power support from the outside; Rong Yueqing, you join in too, but be careful to protect yourself."

"Received," everyone had no objections.

It wasn’t possible for them to handle a fifth-level Star Beast in the short term, so Song Ke and the others were prepared for a protracted battle, with Qu Tong retreating to the outermost perimeter.

It seemed like he was avoiding danger, but in reality, he was constantly using his spiritual power to lock onto the situation there, ready to intervene and control the situation at the first sign of trouble.

The viewers in the livestream reacted with diverse expressions:

[Other teams are generally facing two or three low-grade Star Beasts today, but they’ve already encountered four, including two mid-grade Star Beasts.]

[I told you it’s weird, it’s like they have a Star Beast detector installed.]

[Maybe the Princess Consort is really lucky, after all, she is the wife of our Empire War God.]

[The 10th place currently has only 1600 points, if they kill this Star Beast, wouldn’t they be able to enter the top ten?]

[Are you crazy, them reaching the top ten with their strength?]

[Three A-ranks and two B-ranks amongst them, and one doesn’t even have a mecha, can they really handle a fifth-level Star Beast?]

[I also think it’s a long shot, feels like they are draining the pond to get all the fish.]

[Exactly, if they use up all their spiritual power fighting the fifth-level Star Beast, they’ll only be able to barely handle some second or third-level Star Beasts for the next day or two.]

[And if they encounter fourth or fifth-level Star Beasts again, it’s very likely they’ll be eliminated.]

Aside from when they faced a fourth-level Star Beast, Song Ke had been in a resting state the whole time, naturally taking the lead and attracting the main firepower.

After fighting two or three battles, Xu An and the other two had developed some tacit understanding, taking turns to help share the pressure.

The fifth-level Star Beast had more than doubled in strength and speed compared to the third and fourth-level ones, avoiding attacks while also delivering heavy counterattacks.

The Snow Lion’s snow-white fur looked beautiful and soft, with a pair of wings on its back allowing it to fly at low altitudes. Its pupils were crimson red, which looking at appearances alone, made the Snow Lion truly beautiful.

But the bloodthirsty and ferocious glint in its eyes was intimidating.

After a long struggle, He Zhou finally found an opportunity to hit the Snow Lion’s wing with an Energy Ball, but it didn’t inflict serious damage, as the spiritual power of the Energy Balls was too weak to even penetrate.

Yet, blood stained the Snow Lion’s fur, hindering its ability to fly.

The Snow Lion let out a roar and didn’t fall directly but instead did a flip, striking with its wings at Song Ke who was in front of it.

Song Ke quickly maneuvered the mecha to dodge.

The Snow Lion’s fierce and furious eyes locked onto He Zhou, who glided towards him aggressively.

He Zhou was somewhat panicked and ran to the side.

"Not good!" Cheng Yao cried out, hastily chasing after the Snow Lion.

At the critical moment, a glittering pink mecha rescued He Zhou from under the Snow Lion’s claws and pulled away to a safe distance.

At the vital moment, Qu Tong pulled back his spiritual power and continued to focus on the battle.

Song Ke and Cheng Yao’s attacks followed in quick succession.

The Snow Lion’s flying ability was restricted, but its attacks did not weaken.

On the contrary, being wounded only made it more irritable, and its attacks became even more vicious, sometimes even reckless to the point of self-damage.

Gradually, Song Ke and the others began to feel the strain, with their spiritual power steadily decreasing.

The Snow Lion was covered in wounds of various sizes, but its attacks were growing sharper.

Cheng Yao carelessly nearly got swept away.

Yet, the Snow Lion’s sharp claws paused inexplicably, giving Cheng Yao the chance to escape.
