As Tang San hunted monsters relentlessly, his strength increased rapidly.
He used half of his experience points to improve his basic attributes such as strength, speed, soul power, and spirit, while using the other half to enhance the Clear Sky Hammer.
The Blue Silver Emperor's life essence was destroyed, and its plant-related abilities had been severely damaged, making further development unnecessary.
His soul bones, martial arts techniques, and hidden weapons were too limited in function, far inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer, which could be equipped with the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Ring Explosion Technique, and several self-created soul skills.
By the time this small resource point was cleared, he had accumulated 9,500 experience points from hunting fifteen small to medium-sized monsters.
Tang San took a moment to open the virtual screen, which displayed a combat power index of 21,000,
already no weaker than he had been before entering the game.
His martial soul development was even stronger because this time he followed a pure power burst path, without wasting experience on strengthening the dark attribute.
But Lin Xian'er was clearly more terrifying;
more than half of the monsters she killed were mental type, and the other half were speed type.
All the equipment produced was taken without exception,
including three sets each of boots and leg armor, and as many as nine helmets, including four mid-level monsters whose strength was comparable to a Soul King.
After being integrated and improved, not only did the appearance become more and more heavy, domineering, and complete, but a set of extremely mysterious runes gradually began to emerge on it.
Even a fool could tell that those runes must be very useful.
Coupled with more than 80% of his experience points being mental power, just looking into the eyes of the opponent was enough to make one feel a chilling fear.
As the last monster fell, Tang San watched helplessly as Lin Xian'er took the equipment right before his eyes. Her movements were incredibly practiced and natural, as if it were the most natural thing
in the world. His mouth moved for a long time, but he still didn't dare to utter a word of objection. He
was indeed heartbroken, indeed frustrated, indeed uncomfortable, but...
she was determined to exploit him, even restricting the types of monsters he could hunt. As long as the target wasn't what she wanted, she would constantly interfere with him using her charm ability.
Now that the runes on her helmet were about to be fully revealed, trying to snatch the equipment from her prey at this moment would definitely lead to conflict.
And conflict would waste time and energy, allowing other trial participants to get ahead, and ultimately he would still lose. It was better to endure it for now.
Anyway, Lin Xian'er would kill about half of the enemies he would kill later.
Bing Qingyujie was actually somewhat puzzled.
If the two of them worked together, their speed in hunting monsters would obviously be much faster.
Lin Xian'er could use her mental abilities to control the monsters, while she could use the Haotian Hammer and hidden weapons to attack. The sum of its parts would be far greater than the sum of its parts, so why wouldn't she do it? But after uttering what she thought was a
very reasonable argument, she only received a sneer from the other party, and she didn't know what the other party was thinking. The resource points were cleared, and the seven of them regrouped . Tang San was extremely shocked to find that Han Li's boots, Li Changshou's staff weapon, and Danzo's breastplate all had a complete rune displayed. The faint fluorescence curved gracefully, and the style was similar to seal script, but much more complex. Focusing their mental energy on it, they could clearly sense a kind of terrifying energy contained within it. The other two, Cheng Xin and Hei Jue, also gained something. Only he himself was completely empty-handed, so shabby it was heartbreaking, and his situation after falling out with his partner was even more awkward. Danzo seemed to have great leadership skills, logically analyzing: "Hunting monsters in a survival game is only good for getting started; the real focus is on fighting other players. As long as you kill one person, you can inherit all their experience and equipment. According to this rule, if we can eliminate another seven-person team, our strength will instantly double. Conversely, if others eliminate a team before us, their strength will also be twice ours. The best course of action now is to strike first." Hei Jue, Han Li, and Li Changshou all nodded, and the others did not object.
Lin Xian'er even volunteered, "I'm skilled in mental power; I can help you detect the enemy's distribution."
Soon, the group arrived at a slightly larger resource point nearby.
The enemy was clearly no pushover either, already lined up outside the forest, waiting.
Tang San had just pulled out the Clear Sky Hammer when a commanding voice echoed in his mind,
"When the battle starts, don't worry about anything else. Immediately, burst into a full-speed escape to the southeast. Any remaining experience points? Put them all into your movement and speed skills."
Before the words were finished, the three were stunned,
turning to stare at Lin Xian'er in astonishment, their expressions a mixture of shock and an indescribable surge of excitement.
Their eyes were almost brimming with tears.
He had already given up all hope of normal cooperation, only hoping that this scoundrel would stop deliberately interfering with his actions.
Han Li and Danzo had hunted and killed more than twenty monsters; if not for the interference, he wouldn't be far off, even if he didn't reach that number.
Unexpectedly, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
Could it be that the other party's actions just now were merely to teach him a lesson for lying, and that they actually intended to unite?
Thinking of this, Tang San almost burst into tears. What did it mean for things to take a turn for the better?
But why run away?
There was only one rune-equipped soldier in the team in front of them; Han Li, Li Changshou, and Danzo could easily take him down together.
Just as Bing Qingyujie's mind cleared,
Lin Xian'er's voice echoed in her heart again, filled with extreme anger.
"Damn it, if I don't scold you for a second, you'll be a bastard, won't you?
Can't you just communicate telepathically? Are you afraid others won't know we're plotting?"
Sanzi really wanted to say he didn't,
but wisely refrained from provoking further trouble.
His teammate had finally agreed to cooperate; he couldn't let her have another reason to back out.
There were still many days ahead, and that feeling of internal conflict was truly too painful.
Being tricked in Prison Anal Pit was done without her knowledge, but this Lin Xian'er was like forcing a bull to drink water, making you watch helplessly as you were tricked.
And that wasn't all; her strong control ability truly lived up to its reputation as the strongest control, practically cheating.
Neither team intended to waste time with empty talk;
upon encountering each other, they charged head-on.
The seven ran in a line, and as the distance closed,
Tang San hesitated to simply run away. If he deserted, leading to the team's annihilation, it would be incredibly difficult to regain their trust.
He glanced at his teammates on either side, intending to try coordinating first, and if that failed, retreat according to Lin Xian'er's plan.
Unexpectedly, his eyes widened in shock.
Only six people remained? Where was Han Li?
Moreover, Danzo and Li Changshou seemed a bit off; their auras were weaker than before.
In the blink of an eye, before
the opponents could fully close in, a massive fireball suddenly shot towards them.
Because the situation had changed, Tang San dared not delay for a moment and decisively ran away according to Lin Xian'er's plan.
When he turned around, he realized that Han Li was already a hundred meters away from him, only in a different direction.
Behind him, the fireball landed,
and Tuan Zang's figure turned into a wisp of white smoke with a bang. Li Changshou's face disappeared, leaving only a set of paper robes that were quickly burned to ashes by the fire.
Hei Jue instantly disappeared into the ground. Lin Xian'er reacted even faster than Sanzi, and only Cheng Xin was hit squarely.
Sanzi understood why Lin Xian'er kept scolding him for being stupid.
What kind of team was this? It was simply a chaotic mess of demons.
How could they pass the Ascension Assessment with such insects around?
