Chapter 225: Chapter 154: The Humble Freshman, The
Genius Senior who was Countered
Translator: 549690339
When Jack Clark heard the roar of the Mountain Giant Bear up ahead, another group of people in a different direction also heard the beast’s roar.
Five sophomores from Dragon Mountain Martial Height stood on a hillside.
Each individual was dressed in battle armor, the leader’s armor even more extravagant, remelted from the scales of an unknown golden creature, emitting a halo of light.
Clearly, it was a piece of extraordinary battle armor, possessing a defensive ability far superior to ordinary battle armor.
The stout young man at the front looked into the distance, his eyes slightly squinting: “The roar shakes the mountain and the aura is magnificent. That mutated beast must be at least Level 4, probably at a Level 4 Late Stage.”
Having slain many mutated beasts, Christopher Raven estimated the level of this mutated beast through the powerful force embodied in its roar.
A female student in a red battle armor wore a smile: “I didn’t expect today to be so lucky. We have encountered a Level 4 Mutated Beast before we even left the Nine Rings Mountain Range.”
The Nine Rings Mountain Range extends for over a thousand kilometers horizontally, containing fifty-nine Martial Height bases, making the nearby bases just tens of kilometers apart.
Plus, with tens of thousands of ‘geniuses’ continuing to hunt deep into the mountains, the high-level mutated beasts in the Nine Rings Mountain Range were becoming increasingly rare.
Within a two hundred kilometer radius of the base, there were only ordinary mutated creatures of Level 1 and 2. Only after going three to four hundred kilometers deep into the Nine Rings Mountain Range could one encounter Level 3 Mutated Beasts.
In this area, Level 4 Mutated Beasts were rather scarce. To find mutated creatures above Level 5, one would have to venture further into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
At the same time, many mutated beasts had become more cunning and cautious due to the humans’ continuous hunting over the years.
High-level mutated beasts like this that roar to declare their territory are rare, usually, such creatures have migrated over from other places.
Once they discover that the living environment here is good, the mutated beasts roar to declare their territory, and then…
The Martial Height geniuses who venture out for practice will be attracted.
Thinking of this, the leading Christopher Raven spoke in a low voice: “We should go and check quickly, otherwise, that mutated beast might be taken away by others.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
The other four nodded and followed Christopher down the mountain in a flash.
Of the five, the leading Christopher Raven had the strongest aura, his realm nearing the peak of the Late Fourth Layer Heaven, followed by two in the Mid-stage Fourth Layer Heaven, and two in the Early Stage of Fourth Layer Heaven.
As a result, they didn’t consider the mutant beast, suspected to be a Late Stage Level 4 beast, a challenge.
As sophomores at Dragon Mountain Martial Height, everyone had weapons that were already crafted into transcendent implements, and they had also cultivated more than two Secret Skills.
Moreover, having cultivated Advanced Skills and battle techniques for two years, their combat strength could at least exceed one small realm.
Not to mention the well-known Christopher Raven on the Achievement List. A month ago, he single-handedly killed a Late Stage Level 4 mutant beast with a trace of a king-level bloodline.
He even used the beast’s heart scale along with some Transcendent Materials to make a set of extraordinary armor.
However, just as they dashed a few kilometers down the hillside, the roar and screams of the mutated beast echoed from up ahead, prompting their expressions to change slightly.
“Damn it, someone beat us to it.”
“Quick, let’s go and check!”
Within seconds, the fastest girl, Una Tennat, broke through the forests, her speed wrapping her like a blue, light, lingering echo. She yelled back, “Christopher, the mutant beast is right in front, hurry up.”
As she spoke, her body was surrounded by the sound of the wind, turning into a blue wind shadow and shooting up the rock, crossing hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
Yet when she reached the top of the hill, her body couldn’t help but stop.
Down in the valley, the twenty-meter-long body of the Mountain Giant Bear lay dead and quiet, its colossal skull and bear paw torn apart and bloody.
The bright red blood stained the ground around it.
Next to the corpse of the mutated beast, a figure in ordinary dark red armor stood with a halberd, a black-red radiance flowing over him, and a heavy aura emitting off of him.
Just as she appeared on the hillside, the figure looked up at her.
“What’s wrong, Una…?”
As Christopher spoke, he too reached the top of the hill, followed by the other three behind him, then they all saw the Mountain Giant Bear below, slain.
“Indeed, someone beat us to it,” Christopher sighed with a hint of regret.
Culver Douglas, another sophomore at the middle stage of the Fourth Layer Heaven, looked solemn: “Where is this person from? He’s very strong. He managed to kill this mutated beast so quickly.”
“Indeed, very strong,” another person agreed.
From the time they heard the Mountain Giant Bear declare its territory through a roar, until they traveled ten kilometers at top speed, it was only a minute or two.
The fact that the other party was able to slay it in such a short time made a considerable impression. Most importantly, the other party also had the aura of the Fourth Layer Heaven.
Christopher spoke in a deep voice: “The nearest in this direction is South Sky Martial Height, followed by Lans Martial Arts. It must be one of the two.”
“Let’s go, this mutated beast already belongs to someone else.” Saying so, the group prepared to leave.
As for robbing, this is a rare occurrence in the Alien Beast Battlefield.
One reason is that these geniuses all have their pride; it wouldn’t sound good if word spread that they stole other people’s spoils.
The second reason is that there are over a hundred satellites watching from above, and the school also has rules against killing classmates.
Although the satellites are not always functioning effectively, so far, no one has killed others over a one to two hundred contribution points. There’s even less need to injure others to steal the corpse of a mutated beast.
It’s easy to make deadly enemies this way.
Who knows if a genius who has had their spoils stolen would explode in cultivation one day, surpass, and then specifically inflict heavy injuries or even kill to avenge?
