Chapter 151: Chapter 50 Locking on to Brother S_2
“`
Xu Mo’s body sprinted madly to the side as the Energy Ball exploded next to him.
The Monster circling above his head spat out more Energy Balls upon missing its target, but Xu Mo, dashing wildly below, dodged them all.
“Buzz!”
The Monster dove down again, its speed incredibly fast, seemingly bewildered that it hadn’t killed this human yet.
Feeling the oppressive force from the sky, Xu Mo knew he couldn’t avoid it this time.
He concentrated power into his hands and slammed both fists forward simultaneously.
“Bang.” His fists, clad in War Armor, collided with the Monster’s sharp claws, and Xu Mo’s fists were caught in their grip.
Then, he was seized and flung into the air.
This Level B Monster was seemingly unbeatable in terms of attack power, defense, and speed.
Seeing the ferocious eyes that were close at hand, Xu Mo released his spiritual power to its maximum, searing every detail of the surrounding space into his mind.
He sensed the frequency of the Monster’s wing flaps and felt the energy gathering in its mouth.
Everything was crystal clear.
“Crack.” It was as if something shattered, and a Source Power vortex formed around him.
A terrifying energy enveloped him, growing stronger and stronger.
The Monster slowly opened its mouth.
In that moment, Xu Mo’s eyes changed, emitting a dazzling Energy Light.
The energies around him converged, and the Energy Light in his eyes released outward.
At that moment, Xu Mo seemed to see through the Monster’s eyes.
Energy Beams from his eyes penetrated the Monster’s eyeballs.
The Monster let out a painful howl, its eyes bleeding as it released its grip and spat out the Energy Light from its mouth.
Xu Mo’s body contorted in mid-air to dodge; his head shifted as the Energy Ball flew past him, blasting against the ground.
Afterward, Xu Mo landed on the ground.
With his knees slightly bent, Xu Mo sensed everything around him.
Everything seemed even clearer.
His personal panel.
Name: Xu Mo.
Codename: Hunter.
Occupation: First-year student at Noah Academy in Steel Dome City.
Source Power Level: C+.
Spiritual Power Level: B-.
Points: 1250.
Weapons & Equipment: B- War Armor Set.
Items: Sports Car.
Spiritual power, broken through.
It was previously C++ at a critical point, meaning only one step away.
The intensity of the battle had stimulated his spiritual power, breaking through that final step.
In the Virtual World, spiritual power and neural reaction speed can be trained and improved.
Xu Mo took a deep breath.
When he first came to this world, he discovered his initial abilities were perception and the penetrative power of his gaze.
Now it seemed, his initial guess was right; it must have been due to releasing energy from his eyes that he could see through objects.
Having reached Level B, it was no longer just about seeing through things.
He even possessed lethal power.
The eyes, undoubtedly a Monster’s weak spot, had been pierced by energy.
At that moment, the Monster in the air let out a pitiful roar, wildly shooting Energy Light as the ground erupted in chaos.
Xu Mo reached out his hand, and the War Saber flew back into his grasp, eyeing the Monster crazily ejecting Energy Light above.
He hurled the War Saber into the sky with his spiritual power infused upon it.
At that moment, the War Saber, like an arrow released from a bow, sliced through the air, avoiding the Energy Light.
“Pfft…”
The War Saber stabbed into the Monster’s belly, a weak spot with insufficient defense.
With a tragic scream, the Monster’s body began to plummet downward.
“Boom!”
The Monster’s body crashed heavily to the ground, the War Saber piercing it a second time.
Its life force gradually faded, and as Xu Mo watched the Monster fall, he thought to himself how lucky he was.
If he hadn’t blinded the Level B Monster’s eyes, killing it would’ve been very difficult.
Even a spiritual power breakthrough would have been hard.
Xu Mo walked forward to retrieve the War Saber, while the surrounding Monsters rushed at him to attack.
“Boom…”
His powerful spiritual power erupted, nearly paralyzing the C Level Monsters in the space around him.
Xu Mo’s body traced an arc, splattering blood rain.
In the blink of an eye, all were slain.
He walked towards the vehicle and under the influence of his formidable spiritual power, the vehicle righted itself with a roll.
Xu Mo got in and started the vehicle.
He continued forward in the battered sports car.

……
At the Eight Extraordinary Colleges, Lin Jue’s points had already reached the top, placing him first.
As for Xu Mo, his name suddenly vanished from the leaderboard.
Had he died?
If he had died, his points would be reset to zero.
“He might have exchanged equipment instead,” speculated someone from Noah Academy.
However, people from other colleges hoped more that Xu Mo had died.
Regardless of what had happened.
It seemed impossible to compete for the top spots now; the gap had grown too large.
Many people dispersed from in front of the ruins of Noah Academy’s building.
It was somewhat regrettable.
“What’s going on?” At that moment, a student who had stayed in front of the leaderboard’s pupils shrank.
Xu Mo had fought his way back into the top five.
However, this time, his avatar had changed.
He hadn’t died just now but had exchanged for a weapon set.
Now his avatar showcased his new set.
“He’s made a comeback, and that’s, he just added a hundred thousand points?”
“Grade B Monster,” Noah Academy students’ hearts raced.
Was he that strong?
They found it hard to believe.
A freshman killing a Grade B Monster, how could that be possible?
People from other colleges also noticed Xu Mo’s bizarre change in points; when he was kicked out of the leaderboard, they had thought Xu Mo was dead.
But not long after, the Hunter’s name made a comeback.
He must have just added a hundred thousand points.
“He has a team helping him,” guessed people from other colleges.
Someone must be assisting Xu Mo, he was cheating.
……
Ruins World.
Xu Mo walked at a measured pace, stopping occasionally.
An hour later.
Xu Mo arrived at a café in a building, sitting on the open-air balcony, watching the apocalyptic scenery unfold before him, where monsters’ attacks could not reach.
Sunset light bathed the doomed city in gold.
Xu Mo leaned back in his chair, savoring this rare comfort.
He had actually grown somewhat fond of this virtual world.
In the distance, atop a city building, two figures suddenly appeared.
Many people nearby converged towards them, raising their heads to the two figures.
Including those in building after building, who also came out.
Xu Mo, sitting at the café, also turned his gaze there, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
These two, a man and a woman.
He had seen the woman on a screen not long ago.
Nanming Huowu.
……
The Eight Extraordinary Colleges buzzed with excitement once again.
The overall leaderboard’s two successive top rankers, now the first and the second, faced off.
What day was today?
It was madness.
The spectators who had already dispersed were now rushing back to the building ruins upon receiving the news.
Noah Academy was similarly abuzz.
Countless people hurried to the ruins of the building, looking towards the right side of the scoreboard screen.
There, the virtual world’s scene appeared.
High up in the air, two figures stood opposite each other, their awe-inspiring presence palpable even though they were assisted by equipment.
Someone connected to the Ruins World for a live broadcast.
The broadcast’s camera spun, showing the viewers the sunset scene in the Ruins World, breathtakingly beautiful.
Next to it was a café, with people drinking coffee.
“S-bro?”
People from Noah Academy did a double-take when they saw Xu Mo’s attire, then at the Hunter’s avatar on the leaderboard, they were identical.
S-bro, are you leisurely drinking coffee here instead of hunting monsters? Are you that relaxed?
Are you here to meet the Nanming Goddess?
Students from the other Extraordinary Colleges who also saw Xu Mo drinking coffee were taken aback.
The mysterious S-grade student from Noah Academy had appeared.
Location locked.
Charge!
