Chapter 19: Chapter 19

I’m Rushing, Damn It!

Everyone looked at Lu Benwei’s glowing upgrade halo in a daze.

“Brother Lu, why did you level up again?” Li Tianran was dumbfounded.

“Again?” Liu Nannan frowned. “Silly assassin kid, why did he say ‘again’?”

Chen Lei was also a little curious. “Lu Benwei, what level are you now?”

“Level 14!” Lu Benwei shrugged.

“Level 14?!”

The other high school students’ jaws dropped.

Chen Lei swallowed hard.

After he dealt with this group of Shadow Wolves, he reached the peak of level 12, but Lu Benwei was at level 14.

‘Are we on the same level?’

Outside the mystic realm, Lu Ziling’s eyes revealed a different light.

Lu Benwei performed well in the mystic realm. Be it individual strength or teamwork, they were the best in this group.

“No wonder this kid said that he wanted to go to Yanjing University with his own strength. He’s really not bragging,” At the side, Mr. Lu said happily.

The surrounding audience’s discussion completely turned from mockery to shock. As a father, he was extremely proud.

Lu Ziling stared at Lu Benwei on the screen and said, “If nothing goes wrong, Benwei will very likely be accepted by the Nine Great Hunter Colleges. But it’s still a little far from Yanjing University.” When Lu Ziling said this, her eyes revealed a trace of pity.

On the other side.

The high school classroom lounge was filled with the laughter of Green Spirit City High School.

“Everyone, I’m sorry. I’ll gladly accept this year’s best high school.”

This was the first time he had felt so proud since becoming principal of Green Spirit City High School.

Now, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Lu Benwei’s points had far exceeded that of the second place.

“Hmph! A villain getting his way!”

Liu Meimei, the person in charge of Canglong City High School, glanced at him.

Previously, she had been suppressing Green Spirit City High School. At that time, she could not help but mock them.

This year, Green Spirit City High School suddenly seemed to be on a roll, making her feel very upset.

The principal laughed even louder at that. Suddenly his smile froze.

At the same time, everyone present stood up.

A series of messages appeared on the hologram in front of him.

[Hidden checkpoint opened!]

[Lu Benwei has entered the hidden checkpoint!]

[Chen Lei and Liu Nannan have entered…]

In the evaluation room, the thick-browed old man slammed the table and stood up. “The monsters in the hidden checkpoint aren’t something these students can come into contact with!”

He accused the middle-aged man who had recently arrived.

The hidden checkpoint was different from the ordinary mystic realm. Putting aside its higher level, the key was that it would be stronger than monsters of the same level.

The true strength of the hidden checkpoint leader in the purgatory mystic realm was probably level 17.

The mountain-like man did not move. “Calm down. The students aren’t stupid. At most, we’ll crush the teleportation scroll.”

The thick-browed old man pursed his lips and finally chose to sit.

…

In the mystic realm.

Lu Benwei and the others could not help but feel curious when they saw the sudden change in their surroundings.

“What’s going on?”

“The sky was still clear earlier. Why is it dark now?”

Chen Lei’s face was covered in sweat. “I’m afraid we’ve entered a hidden checkpoint in the mystic realm.”

“Hidden checkpoint?!”

There was a collective gasp.

The hidden checkpoint meant that they would encounter even stronger monsters.

It was very likely that their martial arts assessment would stop here.

‘Indeed!’

In the depths of the dark forest, many powerful monsters emerged one after another.

[Bull-Headed Monster. Level: 13. Talent: Berserk Attack!]

[Ghost. Level: 14. Talent: Ghost Raid!]

[Argu Snake. Level: 14. Talent: Poison Attack!]

[Shadow Wolf, Level: 15. Talent: Shadow Claw Strike, Bloody Wolf Roar!]

Everyone gasped again. At the same time, they felt lucky.

Fortunately, these monsters were only slightly stronger than the ones they had encountered before.

Suddenly, Li Tianran sat on the ground.

Lu Benwei went forward to check the situation. “What’s wrong?”

With trembling hands, Li pointed into the forest. Everyone followed his gaze and gasped.

Two snake eyes the size of yellow lanterns stared straight at them.

[Argu Snake (Elite). Level: 16. Talent: Deadly Poison, Poison Fang Attack, Tail Swing Attack]

Many people were so frightened by this elite-level Argu Snake that they sat on the ground.

“A level-16 elite monster is comparable to a level 18 monster, right?”

In this world, rank was the best proof of strength!

Among them, the highest level was only Lu Benwei, who was a magician. He was only level 14!

Besides, they were just children who had just stepped onto the path of hunters!

“How… How are we going to fight?” Someone’s voice trembled.

Chen Lei from Canglong City High School and Liu Nannan from Yuntian City High School also felt a headache coming on.

The two of them came out with an estimation but they were a little short of a satisfactory score.

Originally, after dealing with the Shadow Wolves, it was enough to deal with normal mystic realm leaders.

However, before the assessment ended, a hidden checkpoint was triggered.

“Rumble!”

The elite-level Argu Snake moved, and the world began to shake.

It lifted its huge body over the big tree and frantically flicked its tongue at the students.

“Damn, I’m not playing anymore!”

“Damn, at most, I’ll repeat a year and start all over again!”

Some people could not help but crush their teleportation scrolls.

A purple teleportation screen lit up and dimmed. In the end, only the geniuses from the various high schools were left.

“Damn, it can’t end like this!” Chen Lei suddenly roared. He was really unwilling to leave just like that.

“Let’s join forces. The Argu Snake will either die or be injured!”

After hearing this, the geniuses of the various high schools gritted their teeth and executed their powerful attacks!

“Mad Dragon Talent, release!”

Chen Lei’s aura soared, and the veins on his body bulged. Even his figure became larger.

“Mad Dragon Claw Strike!”

“Shadow Storm!”

“Wave Shadow Killing Formation!”

“Summon: Wind, Fire, Wood, Water!”

Liu Dongqing and the others did not stay idle either. They joined the attack sequence of the various geniuses.

The Argu Snake flicked its tongue and looked down at this group of “ants” and gently flicked its tail.

Tail Swing Attack!

When the geniuses’ dazzling skills hit its tail, sparks flew.

Then, the snake tail continued to sweep, rolling smoke and dust like a magnificent army.

Many of the skills were deflected. Chen Lei was dumbfounded. Was this the strength of an elite monster?

“Lu Benwei, how many more times can you use that enhancement skill of yours?”

Chen Lei thought of Lu Benwei first. However, when he looked back, he realized that Lu Benwei was fighting another Ghost alone.

“Lu Benwei, come and fight together!” Chen Lei ordered, “Otherwise, we’ll all die here!”

Lu Benwei finished off the Ghost and turned to deal with a Shadow Wolf. Then, he said, “I’m rushing, damn it!”

Chen Lei was dumbfounded. ‘You’re lying through your teeth!’

“This guy is relying on hunting monsters to quickly break through!” Liu Nannan discovered something. “He’s about to reach level 15 and awaken his innate skill. Perhaps we really have a chance!”

She had already seen how terrifying Lu Benwei was and immediately agreed with him.

Chen Lei looked embarrassed. He had pinned his hopes on a magician. His pride would not allow him to do so.

However, as the elite-level Argu Snake used its Poison Fang Attack, batch after batch of geniuses fell.

Chen Lei shouted again, “Everyone, pay attention! Buy time for Lu Benwei!”

At this moment, Lu Benwei was racing against time to hunt monsters.

“Damn, why hasn’t [Ten Times Profit] been triggered yet?”

Lu Benwei’s hands were numb, but the system still did not budge.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering ten times the experience!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching level 15. The awakening skill is about to be sent!]

Hearing this voice, Lu Benwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
