Bai Zihan killing a Grade-9 Demonic Beast was witnessed by many-especially those from the Li and Zhao Clans who wished for his demise.
However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointnt.
But more than disappointnt, what filled them was shock.
An eighteen-year-old-already unbelievably at the Spirit Severing Realm-had just killed a Grade-9 Demonic Beast.
Not only that, he did it so easily and effortlessly that he seed stronger than the Void Refinent Realm Elders who were still struggling against their own Grade-9 opponents.
Far above, the Zhao Elder froze mid-air, pupils shrinking to pinpricks.
(...Impossible. That boy... that boy is a monster.)
He had been fighting that Armored Rhinoceros himself, and he knew exactly how tough its body was.
To kill it within two moves-sothing even he couldn't do-was simply impossible.
Gulp!
Bai Zihan on the other hand felt nothing when killing the Grade-9 Demonic Beast.
Bai Zihan also found Grade-9 Demonic Beasts vulnerable, though they definitely required more effort than the Grade-8 ones.
He sent a cold glare toward the Zhao Elder, who quickly looked away in anger and fear.
Zhao Elder's sche had failed.
But that changed nothing.
Soone had tried to kill him.
And Bai Zihan was not going to let him off easily.
Ting!
Just then-
He heard a sound. A notification chi that only his System could make.
"System!"
He was confused. He had never heard that sound before.
But when he checked the System Interface, nothing had changed.
Even more confused, he opened the Reward section.
[Unclaid Rewards Available]
Killed Grade-9 Demonic Beast: [ 100 Points]
His eyes widened. He didn't know killing Demonic Beasts could give System Points.
Yet he had gotten nothing for killing Grade-8 beasts.
"Could it be that only Grade-9 Demonic Beasts are considered achievents? Or maybe because their level is higher than mine...?"
He wasn't sure why Grade-9 kills gave points, but it didn't matter.
"Finally!"
He had been worrying about how to earn System Points-and now the answer had fallen into his lap.
If killing Grade-9 Demonic Beasts gave points, then there was no reason to waste ti on Grade-8s anymore.
"Are you okay?"
Bai Lui asked worriedly after seeing Bai Zihan standing still, expression blank.
She thought he might have overexerted himself fighting the Armored Rhinoceros or suffered an unseen injury.
After all, fighting a Grade-9 Demonic Beast alone was far too much-even for a prodigy like him.
But before she could say more-
"Hahahaha...!"
Bai Zihan's sudden laughter made her jump, even frightening her a little.
(Did he finally lose his mind?)
In the middle of an intense battlefield, Bai Zihan was laughing like a madman.
Anyone witnessing it would assu he had gone insane.
But in truth, Bai Zihan was simply excited about the huge number of System
Points he could earn from killing Grade-9 Demonic Beasts.
He already understood their strength-they were no big deal.
Even a group of them wouldn't be a problem for him.
And the sight of hundreds-maybe thousands-of Grade-9 beasts hidden in the wilderness made him imagine the mountain of points he could obtain.
Potentially hundreds of thousands.
Impossible for him to wipe them all out, of course-but that didn't stop him from calculating.
"Bai Lui, you can return to the group. I'll be hunting the Grade-9 Demonic
Beasts."
Bai Zihan declared.
He originally planned to follow orders and fight normally.
But the situation had changed.
He couldn't let go of such an opportunity.
Following the group would only slow him down.
"Huh? Bai Zihan, you can't! You must follow my orders!"
Bai Lui imdiately protested-not because she cared about authority, but because if sothing happened to Bai Zihan, all the bla would fall on her.
"I won't repeat myself."
Whoosh!
Bai Zihan vanished, already heading toward the nearest Grade-9 Demonic
Beast.
"W-Why is he going toward a Grade-9 Demonic Beast?!"
Her anxiety worsened as Bai Zihan rushed straight toward the battlefield where
the Elders were fighting the Grade-9 monsters.
"What should I do?!"
She paced back and forth. She couldn't decide whether to chase him or stand
back as told by Bai Zihan.
But with her strength, she would be useless against a Grade-9.
Thinking back to how Bai Zihan killed the Armored Rhinoceros so effortlessly,
she could only hope he would manage on his own.
Sigh...
"I just hope he cos back safely. Otherwise my life will be miserable..."
There was no way to catch up to Bai Zihan's speed, especially in a battlefield crawling with Demonic Beasts.
And she couldn't abandon her duties and leave her group leaderless.
Whoosh!
Bai Zihan sprinted toward the nearest Grade-9 Demonic Beast-a Python Tiger.
But between them stood several Grade-8 and lower Demonic Beasts.
Bai Zihan erased them instantly.
The Python Tiger flinched when Bai Zihan suddenly appeared before it.
Or perhaps...
It was offended that soone like Bai Zihan, who is in the Spirit Severing Realm
dared to challenge it.
RRRWWWWRRRR!
Bai Zihan shot forward, silver brilliance trailing behind him as he closed the
distance.
RRRWWWWRRRR!
The Python Tiger reared back, venomous breath hissing between its fangs. Its
massive body coiled and tensed, muscles surging with power-yet its eyes
flickered with sothing it hadn't expected:
Unease.
"Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword."
Whoosh-!
Nine silhouettes of Bai Zihan erupted outward like phantoms, each one moving
with identical speed, pressure, and killing intent.
The Python Tiger lashed out wildly, claws swiping through the illusions with
explosive force.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each strike shattered a shadow but not the real Bai Zihan.
By the ti the beast realized none of the afterimages were real-A cold breath
brushed past its ear.
"Second Form: Phantom Light Strike."
Shing!
A single streak of argent light flickered across the battlefield.
Then-
SPLAT!
A crimson line traced itself across the Python Tiger's massive neck. Its body
froze, pupils dilating as its head slowly slid from its shoulders.
Thud!
The colossal Grade-9 Demonic Beast toppled, severed cleanly in a single move.
Even with its fad resilience, even with its monstrous vitality-there was no
resistance.
A Heaven-Grade Sword Art, amplified by sword intent, wielded with a Supre
Dao Bone?
For the Python Tiger... It was an execution, not a battle.
Bai Zihan didn't even spare it a glance as he stepped past the corpse.
He looked at the System Interface and indeed another 100 Points were added.
Indeed, killing Grade-9 grants him 100 Points.
He didn't stand around, looking for another target.
There was no need to wait as his Qi which has been used has already been
replenished.
With Myriad Breathing Technique and Supre Dao Bone, he has no need to
worry about his Qi reserve.
Not to ntion, the endless amount of high-grade pills that he has.
As long as he didn't use the Saint-Grade Technique, he could fight without
stopping.
Indefinitely.
And that was exactly what he intended.
