Even with his Perception view already detecting it, Ji Chen did not turn around.
He rely raised his right hand, and instantly, the three Crystal Burst Lizards behind him were levitated simultaneously.
His fingers slowly clenched.
The bodies of the three Crystal Burst Lizards, suspended in the air, frantically twisted, blood beads seeped from the gaps in their scales, their bodies collapsed inward, and their tough shells emitted a sound of friction and compression.
After a series of intersecting bone-crack sounds, the three Crystal Burst Lizards turned into black mist and rged into Ji Chen's body.
After this move, his spiritual power was already running low, so he imdiately took out a bottle of Spirit Potion to replenish, then picked up the materials dropped on the ground and continued on his way.
With the Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul boosting him, the hunting process was incredibly smooth.
To Ji Chen, it felt as if his familiar telekinesis had beco a brand-new ability, infinitely stronger than the telekinesis he used in reality.
In the past, when using telekinesis to control objects, there was a sense of sluggishness, and each exertion was accompanied by a slight sting at the level of consciousness.
Even the process of converting spiritual power into telekinesis required ti to prepare, often needing to reserve telekinetic energy in advance.
But under the blessing of the Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul, the telekinesis flowed like a raging river, and he couldn't even feel the process of spiritual power turning into telekinesis; with a single thought, he could stir an invisible tide.
In terms of control, there was no need to deliberately direct it; telekinesis was as smooth as moving one's fingers, as fluent as breathing.
The previous sense of sluggishness had completely disappeared, replaced by an almost instinctive mastery where all things could be controlled at the thought.
Two days later.
Tiptoeing off the ground, Ji Chen's figure hovered in fly under the support of telekinesis, while below, dozens of Level 3 Sharp Spike Worms wriggled madly, their sticky bodies secreting toxic mucus, spraying towards him.
But before the liquid could touch his body, it was blocked by an invisible telekinetic barrier.
Ji Chen's five fingers expanded虚张 at this mont.
In an instant, an invisible force crushed down like a giant wave.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
The sound of flesh exploding rang ceaselessly.
The worms below were instantly like bursting under the grip of an invisible hand, splattering yellow-green slurry everywhere.
Relying on the collective output efficiency of telekinesis, Ji Chen completed the hunt very easily, his Life Soul Level once again rising by Level 1.
The Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul had reached Level 16.
Calling up the Newbie Level Ranking in the function list, his na was impressively listed.
[Newbie Level Ranking]:
First place: Brother Rebirth Still Can't Win (Combined Soul Level: Level 21, 83.23%)
Second place: Near-Death Counterattack Professional (Combined Soul Level: Level 16, 23.73%)
Third place: Teammates Stop Acting (Combined Soul Level: Level 16, 23.38%)
...
Relying on his skilled command of telekinesis, along with the travel efficiency brought by it,
he dominated the activity leaderboard with an absolute advantage.
During this ti, he hadn't died even once, thereby avoiding wasting ti on resurrection cooldowns and travel.
With more than half a day left before the event ended, Ji Chen dared not rest for a mont.
Even though he currently held an absolute level advantage, anything could happen in the remaining ti.
Half a day ago, he had seen players chatting in the regional chat channel.
One player, with the help of a close-knit team of fellow newbies and using the advantage of terrain, successfully killed a Level 27 monster.
This hunt allowed the player to instantly level up by 4 levels, jumping from outside the top 10,000 on the leaderboard straight into the top 100.
There was still a chance for similar situations to occur in the future.
It wasn't impossible for a player to successfully kill a powerful monster through luck or other factors, instantly boosting their Life Soul Level by several levels.
To maintain his advantage, the hunting could not stop.
While flying, Ji Chen drank a bottle of Spiritual Repair Potion.
Opening the regional chat channel, he wanted to see if there were any helpful players providing nearby hunting coordinate information.
But the content he saw made him a bit helpless.
"Who exactly is this 'Brother Rebirth Still Can't Win'? How is he leveling up so fast? Our team has been working hard for two days and our average level is still at Level 11, but his combined level is already Level 21. Isn't it supposed to be harder to level up the higher you go? Did he take steroids?"
"Brother Rebirth is so fierce! Every ti I open the leaderboard, he's at the top. I want to know what Life Soul he's using, hoping to learn so hunting techniques. I wish he would start a class on the forum."
"It's just dumb luck, for sure. He probably found so place with lots of monsters that aren't very strong, secretly grinding like crazy. If he's got the guts, he should post the hunting coordinates so I can join in."
"Let take a guess. Brother Rebirth is probably on the archer path; their output compared to the Magic System has less consumption, and he has great shooting accuracy in reality. Along with the Scatter Arrow Bow for group output, efficient kills—this play style is not sothing ordinary players can learn."
"I've never logged off since the opening of the server, not even once. I'm either hunting or on the way to find monsters, yet I'm ranked only 5,728. Why do you guys have to be so intense? Just let get into the top 3,000, okay? Stop trying so hard! If you guys keep it up, how am I supposed to progress?"
"I'm sick of this grind. Hovering around 20,000 in rank. Can't you guys give a chance? Let log off to drink so water or eat sothing. I'm begging you, stop grinding."
...
In the regional channel, many voices were talking about him.
They even called him: Brother Rebirth.
Closing the regional channel, Ji Chen's Perception view overlooked the earth, not letting any potential monsters hidden in the cracks of rocks escape notice.
This ti, he aid for first place in the event.
How could he lose to these youngsters in the new era, being an old guy who had lived for over two hundred years?
The accumulated combat experience over the years was his strongest hack in hunting and leveling up.
Leveraging the travel efficiency brought by flight, Ji Chen once again set his sights on a group of monsters.
Ahead, within the ruins not far off, several dozen shadow-like monsters wandered; without Perception aid, they were truly hard to notice.
With Decomposition activated, the monster information surfaced in his mind.
[Shadow Scorpion]:
Hunting Level: 11.
Target Introduction: An Elental Lifeform with a body composed of Shadow Energy. Initially, it was a pet beast brought by the descending force "Shadow Clan". After the clan's destruction, the Shadow Scorpions continued to breed in the Land of Chasing the Sun. Their bodies can fully rge with shadows, and their tail stingers can release Soul-Eroding Needles, dealing continuous spiritual shock damage to targets.
...
Ji Chen's figure descended from high in the sky, the black clothes on his body flapping loudly in the wind.
With a gentle tap of his toes, he silently landed on a fractured stone pillar.
Below, in the ruins, dozens of Shadow Scorpions appeared and disappeared in the shadows, like flowing ink. Their tail stingers raised slightly, glowing with a dim purple light.
With a slight curve of his lips, telekinesis released along his raised right hand.
Boom!
An invisible mountain-like force smashed down, causing the ground within dozens of ters to collapse instantly, debris flying.
The Shadow Scorpions, originally hidden in the shadows, had no ti to respond and several were instantly killed.
One of the larger Shadow Scorpions raised its head, its tail stinger aid fiercely at Ji Chen's position, launching a Soul-Eroding Shock like an arrow.
But before the Soul-Eroding Needle could approach, it was shattered by the telekinetic barrier.
Ji Chen didn't even look, simply clenching his five fingers lightly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One by one, the bodies of the Shadow Scorpions burst apart, shadow energy exploding like splattered ink, yet froze in mid-air under the binding of telekinesis, forming an immovable sea of black fog below.
The last Shadow Scorpion tried to escape into the shadows, attempting to flee underground.
Ji Chen just fixed his gaze, telekinesis wound it like chains, forcibly pulling it from the shadows in the ground!
Boom!
The Shadow Scorpion's body twisted and deford in the air, finally crushed into pure shadow energy, turning into black mist that surged towards him.
Wave after wave of black mist seeped into his body, making Ji Chen feel extrely satisfied.
But the gains this ti weren't enough to level up.
With a single step, his figure shot skyward again, beginning the search for new hunting targets.
While flying, Ji Chen also pondered a question.
This ga was too perfect in all aspects.
Even the imprint of telekinesis could be perfectly reproduced in the ga.
Could the forbidden techniques taught by the Dragon Descendants also be applied in this world, then used in combination with other Life Soul Characteristics?
