The battle smoke dissipated, and the flames extinguished.
On the boundless beach, Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, and Zhu Chengyu stood facing each other, panting heavily.
Deep within their eyes, were looks full of disbelief and shock.
What just happened?
While they were engaged in battle, a fierce crimson flame suddenly engulfed them from the distance.
It swept over the battlefield, burning all of the hundreds of members of The Inferior Tribe who had them cornered to ashes!
Many of The Inferior Tribe members were burned into withered corpses by the blood-colored flames on the spot.
Many powerful Inferior Tribe Professionists turned and ran but were unable to resist the burning of the blood-colored flames.
Screams and howls filled their ears. In just a few minutes, all the members of The Inferior Tribe Professionists were burnt to death!
“Huff-huff…”
The time duration of the Adrenaline Excitement Technique on Bai Jingqi’s body ended, and he sat directly on the ground.
His head and back were soaked in sweat, and his expression was extremely dejected.
Yet his eyes still held disbelief.
“What happened, where are The Inferior Tribe? How did they all die?”
“And these flames, what kind of phantom is this…”
“I have no idea.”
Qin Zheng came forward, intending to assist Bai Jingqi, but the duration of his own Adrenaline Excitement Technique ended as well.
He stumbled and fell directly onto Bai Jingqi. Their heads collided, and they both grimaced in pain for a moment.
“You two, stop moving around.”
Zhu Chengyu also came forward, panting heavily. Behind him, the young dragon simply lay on the ground.
Officially stuck its tongue out, panting heavily.
“So this is the weakened state of the Adrenaline Excitement Technique. My legs feel weak!”
“Seriously, what was with those blood-colored flames, why did they only burn The Inferior Tribe and not us?”
“Moreover… I thought I saw many human figures in that flame.”
Bai Jingqi grinned, “You’re joking, how can there be people in the fire?”
“Zheng Cheng is coming, ask him, maybe he knows…”
Zheng Cheng walked over and nodded after hearing their questions. “It’s my skill… I just completed the LV20 breakthrough mission and learned a new skill.”
“That fast!”
The three of them were very surprised.
Their own levels were all roughly LV18.
They originally planned to rush to LV20 in one go, but didn’t expect that Zheng Cheng, a Priest with only three stars, was the first to reach LV20!
Zhu Chengyu wondered, “Even if it’s a skill newly learned at LV20, it shouldn’t be this powerful, right?”
“It ignited so many blood flames, creating a fire strong enough to burn hundreds of members of The Inferior Tribe. That’s too powerful!”
Zheng Cheng shook his head. “Maybe it was an accident. I guess it has something to do with the Blood Guanyin.”
“Blood Guanyin…”
The three of them looked at each other. Qin Zheng asked, “What do you mean? Isn’t the Blood Guanyin a tribute of The Inferior Tribe?”
“No.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head. “Blood Guanyin is not a tribute of The Inferior Tribe, but our compatriot of Xia Country!”
“Just now, I saw on the Blood Guanyin…”
Zheng Cheng proceeded to tell them all he had seen on the Blood Guanyin: illusions or memories.
Soldiers, farmers, workers…
Rifles, bayonets, broadswords…
Uncle, elder brother, Little Grass…
The commander…
After a while, Yao Zhixue and others also arrived.
After a fierce battle, only Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, Song Chaoyu, Caiji, Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, and Zhu Chengyu were left on the field.
Chen Xiao, Yang Haoran, Hao Zhao, and Jiang Muyun were all reluctantly teleported out of the exam due to various reasons.
After hearing Zheng Cheng’s story, their eyes held surprise, their expressions realization.
“When I was casting the new skill, I also seemed to have seen their figures.”
Zheng Cheng said, “Perhaps the reason this skill was so powerful was because they were helping me secretly.”
“I might not see that kind of effect in my skills later…”
Caiji, who was severely injured but still struggling, said curiously, “Brother Cheng, are you saying you saw those three million innocent souls on the Blood Guanyin?”
“With their help, you blocked so many Inferiors from Blood Guanyin.”
“And then this great fire…”
“Yes.”
Zheng Cheng nodded and said, “I’m not exactly sure about the specific situation…”
“That’s enough.”
Yao Zhixue suddenly interrupted Zheng Cheng and said, “Regardless, we survived, didn’t we?”
“Yes, we survived!”
“Haha, we finished the mission! The Blood Guanyin was destroyed by us!”
“Doesn’t it mean we can return to the exam place now?”
“The Blood Guanyin was destroyed by Zheng Cheng, so the world strange object is his!”
“What a pity, so many Inferiors were burned to crisp corpses, their ears couldn’t be cut off…”
“How envious…”
Zheng Cheng glanced at Yao Zhixue. If she continued to question, he wouldn’t know how to respond.
Everyone discussed amongst themselves, their expressions unusually relaxed.
The ten-day battle and chaotic fight had finally reached their end.
Although some were seriously injured, thankfully no one was killed.
And they completed the examination task.
Some people were already fantasizing about the rewards they would receive after the exam.
“Don’t be in a hurry.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head and said, “There are still Inferiors in Jiuhu City.”
“I promised the Commander that I would kill all the Inferiors here. We absolutely cannot abandon this midway.”
“Besides, aren’t Li Zhen, Li Jiao, Chen Zixiong still in Jiuhu City?”
“Right, Li Zhen and Jiaojiao!”
Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi also came to their senses and hurriedly said, “We should go and back them up, those Inferior Tribe members have strength no less than here.”
“Let’s go, rest as we go…”
“Roar~!”
Suddenly, Zhu Chengyu’s young dragon walked over, carrying something in its mouth, and placed it in front of a few people.
Zhu Chengyu curiously walked over, “Black Dragon, I’ve told you not to randomly fetch things. What did you fetch this time?”
“Let me see… Blood Guanyin!”
Zhu Chengyu exclaimed; the others also looked surprised.
“What? Blood Guanyin?”
“Wasn’t Blood Guanyin destroyed? How is it still here?”
“Chengyu, what are you holding in your hand?”
“It’s really Blood Guanyin!”
The few of them exclaimed, seeing that Zhu Chengyu had pulled from the young dragon’s mouth a miniaturized version of Blood Guanyin!
About five centimeters long, it looked like a delicate jade ornament.
Zhu Chengyu carefully examined it, then said helplessly: “It’s special equipment… Unfortunately, it’s soul-bound, and I can’t inspect it.”
Everyone else took a closer look, and it was indeed as he said.
[Name: Blood Guanyin]
[Attribute: Unreadable]
[Note: Soul-bound item, only its master can inspect it.]
Yao Zhixue suddenly had a thought, turning to Zheng Cheng: “Zheng Cheng, take a look at it. Maybe you are the rightful owner of Blood Guanyin.”
The eyes of the others suddenly brightened, they exclaimed excitedly: “Brother Cheng, check it quickly!”
“Yeah! Zheng Cheng destroyed the Blood Guanyin statue, and even met with the soul within it. Maybe it’s directly bound to him!”
“Among us, apart from Zheng Cheng, I can’t think of a second person who is qualified!”
“Check it quickly…”
Urged by the others, Zheng Cheng took the Blood Guanyin figurine.
As soon as he held it, the Blood Guanyin figurine began to emit a faint, bloody aura.
The temperature on it also shifted from icy to warm.
Everyone’s eyes lit up, and Zheng Cheng looked incredibly surprised.
“Can it really be used…?”

[Current Soul-bounded Target: Zheng Cheng. (Unique)]
“Damn…This…”
Looking at the specific attributes of Blood Guanyin, Zheng Cheng drew a sharp breath.
This Blood Guanyin jade pendant, fully inherited all the capabilities from the Blood Guanyin they just destroyed.
Moreover, an additional passive ability ‘I offer my blood as a tribute to Xuanyuan’ is also added.
Growth!
This jade pendant even possesses unlimited growth, and unlimited potential!
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing the expression on Zheng Cheng’s face, everyone else hastily asked.
Zheng Cheng considered for a moment, and finally decided to share all the attributes of the jade pendant with everyone.
“Holy sh*t! This is a growth equipment!”
“Blood and Flesh Puppet? Can it grow by absorbing blood?”
“I offer my blood as a tribute to Xuanyuan… this ability…”
“Have you guys realized…”
Zhu Chengyu suddenly spoke, attracting everyone’s attention.
“This equipment of Zheng Cheng… is very similar to certain equipment…”
Everybody’s eyes flickered, as they said immediately: “Innate Armament!”
During awakening, any professionist with a ranking above seven stars could possibly receive a gift from the Heavenly Dao and earn an Innate Armament!
These armaments complement the professionist’s skills, and can also grow with the professionist.
For example, Yao Zhixue’s staff, Zhu Chengyu’s golden dragon spear, Bai Jingqi’s Yan blade, Song Chaoyu’s soul-absorbing crystal, and so on.
And now, the Blood Guanyin in Zheng Cheng’s hands undoubtedly had similar abilities!
“It’s different.”
Qin Zheng immediately shook his head: “Our innate armaments can only grow by absorbing soul power.”
“But Zheng Cheng’s Blood Guanyin can absorb not only soul power but also the blood of the living.”
“Whether in growth speed or power, it is much stronger than our innate armaments!”
“This Blood Guanyin… is far more valuable than our innate armaments!”
“Indeed.”
Zhu Chengyu also said: “Zheng Cheng, it’s your fortune that Blood Guanyin chose you. I hope you will not let it down!”
“I seem to see the shadows of our predecessors in it.”
“Don’t worry.”
Zheng Cheng nodded: “I won’t let them down!”
In front of his eyes, he seemed to see the figures of people waving at him again.
“Let’s go, we’ll ride Blood Guanyin to Jiu City.”
“This time, we’re going to eradicate all the Inferior Tribe members in Izu Island!”
