Chapter 271: Proper First Place
Feng Mingxi tapped his feet and quickly retreated dozens of meters. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the huge bird-like monster in the distance that was more than four meters tall and had two wings that covered nearly 20 meters. He did not dare to relax.
Clear Mist Roc, C-rank beast!
The man and bird looked at each other for a long time. The Clear Mist Roc suddenly flapped its wings and let out a clear and high cry. It attacked Feng Mingxi at high speed like a dark cloud.
Feng Mingxi took a deep breath and threw a right punch. A fist-like blue light enveloped and flickered. As soon as his fist struck halfway, it caused the surrounding space to distort.
When the punch was completely thrown, it happened to collide with the claws of the Clear Mist Roc.
Boom!
Feng Mingxi’s feet sank, and his body was pressed half a meter into the ground by the Clear Mist Roc.
On the other hand, the Clear Mist Roc’s protective Gale was directly broken by his punch. He struck its claws, causing them to be mangled and its leg bones to break.
The Clear Mist Roc opened its sharp and long mouth and let out an extremely miserable and high-pitched cry. With a flap of its huge wings, a strong wind that was comparable to the strongest hurricane swept towards Feng Mingxi like a mountain with terrifying spatial energy.
Feng Mingxi did not dare to be negligent. He activated his Internal Breath and shook away the soil around his legs. He pulled his body up and directly jumped into the air, punching the Clear Mist Roc again.
This punch landed squarely on the abdomen of the Clear Mist Roc.
A terrifying Internal Breath with powerful spatial energy surged into the abdomen of the Clear Mist Roc, punching a huge wound in his stomach. Blood as huge as a mountain torrent surged out.
The huge body of the Clear Mist Roc was sent flying by this punch and landed diagonally in the empty forest beside him.
Feng Mingxi did not hesitate. He stretched out his foot and tapped the tree trunk beside him before chasing after him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a few more punches, the Clear Mist Roc spread its wings and counterattacked for the last time, but Feng Mingxi easily dodged it and fell silent.
Feng Mingxi retreated to the side and waited for a moment. After confirming that the Clear Mist Roc was finally dead, his body suddenly swayed, his face flushed, and a trace of blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth.
In fact, in the battle with the Clear Mist Roc just now, he had long experienced serious internal injuries, but he had always used a special cultivation method to forcefully suppress it.
Now that he had finally killed the Clear Mist Roc, he relaxed and could no longer maintain his cultivation method. His internal injuries surged, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood to relieve them.
Weisol, who had been watching the battle from afar, hurriedly rushed over. He wanted to reach out to help Feng Mingxi, but he waved his hand in rejection.
“I’m fine.”
Weisol retracted his hand in embarrassment.
Of course, he knew Feng Mingxi’s temper, but he had been concerned about his injuries and had forgotten about it.
“Are you alright?” Weisol asked carefully.
Feng Mingxi raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head. “It’s fine, I won’t die.”
Weisol frowned slightly.
Feng Mingxi had always been extremely strong. To be able to make him say the words “I won’t die” was enough to prove that his injuries were already serious.
However, he could not say anything. He thought for a moment and pointed at the Clear Mist Roc in the distance.
“Go scan first. Mingxi, just now, your points have already been surpassed by Rudy Karl.”
Feng Mingxi took a deep breath and circulated his Internal Breath in his body before shaking his head at Weisol.
“No, you go scan.”
Weisol was stunned, “Why? You clearly killed him.”
“My injuries are not light now. At the very least, I won’t be able to recover today. I’m afraid I can’t continue to hunt ferocious beasts. I definitely can’t maintain my first place. It’s useless to have another 100 points. On the other hand, you’ve wasted half a day with me here. Your ranking must have fallen quite a bit. With these 100 points, you can make up for your loss.”
“How can that do?” Weisol waved his hand, “You killed this with great difficulty. How can I snatch it and use it as my points?”
“I said it’s fine!” Feng Mingxi glared, “Hurry up!”
Being glared at by Feng Mingxi, Weisol immediately shut up. He hesitated for a moment and obediently moved over. He opened his personal terminal and scanned the corpse of the Clear Mist Roc.
Looking at his points increase by 100 on his personal terminal, his ranking increased from the slightly dangerous 258th to 215th. Weisol heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, Feng Mingxi was right. Compared to Feng Mingxi who would definitely enter Star Cloud Academy, he had accompanied Feng Mingxi to find a C-rank beast for half a day and had watched the battle from the side for so long. The situation on the scoreboard was much more serious than Feng Mingxi.
However…
Weisol frowned and looked at Feng Mingxi.
“Mingxi, can you really not continue fighting?”
Feng Mingxi closed his eyes and seemed to be adjusting his breathing. When he heard Weisol’s question, he only nodded lightly.
“Then what should we do? You’ve already been surpassed by Rudy Karl. There’s still nearly half a day left. If you can’t continue to hunt beasts, won’t you be unable to return to first place?”
At this point, he could not help but mutter.
“If only you didn’t come to kill this C-rank beast. Then, you would definitely still be number one…”
Feng Mingxi slowly opened his eyes and sneered.
“I’m not fighting for this superficial ranking, but for the proper first place. If I can’t even kill a C-rank beast and that Chu Nan can, what’s the use of me getting first?”
Of course, Weisol knew Feng Mingxi’s personality very well. He could only shake his head and sigh.
A moment later, his mind suddenly stirred. He opened the real-time points ranking on his personal terminal and searched from top to bottom. He found Chu Nan’s name at the 29th position and was immediately shocked.
“Damn, I didn’t see it for a while and this guy rose another rank! Mingxi, I think… this guy must have cheated! Otherwise, how could his points increase so quickly in the last few days? Moreover, he’s only an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. How can he kill a C-rank beast? It’s impossible for him to even break through the protective Gale of a C-rank beast!”
Feng Mingxi’s eyes moved and a trace of doubt flashed across his face.
Indeed, even he had spent a lot of effort to kill the Clear Mist Roc and was even heavily injured, causing him to be unable to participate in the battle. How could Chu Nan easily kill another C-rank beast and continue to hunt other D-rank beasts like nothing had happened, allowing his points to increase so quickly?
Unless he had Angie Prairie by his side who could treat him at any time and ensure his combat strength.
Or perhaps, this guy had already secretly teamed up with Angie Prairie. His current points were actually the result of her actions!
But why was Angie Prairie helping him like this?
The scene of Angie Prairie and Chu Nan chatting and laughing together flashed through Feng Mingxi’s mind and he frowned slightly.
Could it be that these two fellows…
