“It won’t be easy for you to win the championship this time,” Ding Peng said, “I heard that after the last monthly exam, Luo Chaoxiang from Class One stopped attending martial arts classes in the afternoon. He would only go to Iron Peak
Mountain to train. Luo Chaoxiang won’t be easy to deal with during the midterm exam this time!”
When school started, Luo Chaoxiang’s vitality was the highest among all the freshmen — 50 points!
In addition, Luo Chaoxiang’s family background was high. Now that two months have passed, Luo Chaoxiang must have raised his vitality to 99 points!
Breaking through to a Late Stage Rank Two martial artist would all depend on Luo Chaoxiang’s martial arts talent!
Chu Lingjun could feel that Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi’s vitality values had increased as well. They were surging with vitality, their faces were rosy, and they were in high spirits. They were going to reach 99 points soon!
Even if Chu Lingjun had cheats turned on, these people had money.
“Zhou Anqi from Class One is the same. After the last monthly exam, her family arranged for powerful espers to train her every day. She had to kill many exotic beasts to hone her skills.”
“Guess you’re about to have a hard time staying in first place.” Chen Zhiqi laughed.
The birth of supernatural powers had actually strengthened the stability of the hierarchy.
Ordinary people might not be able to leave the city for the rest of their lives, but for people like Luo Chaoxiang, Zhou Anqi, Ding Peng, and Chen Zhiqi being the second generation of martial arts, leaving the city every day was a breeze.
The end of an ordinary person’s life was only their starting point to future growth.
“They are not easy to deal with, and you won’t be easy to deal with too, right?” Chu Lingjun smiled and looked at Chen Zhiqi.
In the past month, Chen Zhiqi’s skin had gotten darker; especially her hands. In just a month, she had grown many calluses and wounds.
In the monthly examination last month, Chen Zhiqi barely got in the top 10.
This made this competitive woman feel extremely humiliated!
Therefore, she had been practicing her swordsmanship every single day!
Luo Chaoxiang and Zhou Anqi had been going to the Iron Peak Mountain, and so had Chen Zhiqi.
“You’ll see how powerful I can be soon. Later on in the arena, remember to surrender obediently, and I won’t embarrass you more!” Chen Zhiqi teased.
Chu Lingjun chuckled.
The three of them chatted for a while more. While they spoke, Shen Yanhu walked in from outside the classroom. He looked around the classroom and said, “I’m going to announce the rewards for the midterm exam. Please inform the students that have not arrived later.”
“Yes, sir.”
Shen Yanhu picked up a piece of chalk and started writing on the blackboard. “The rewards for this midterm exam are basically the same as the previous monthly exam.
“The first place in the grade will be rewarded with thirty spirit stones. Second place will get spirit stones. Third place will get twenty spirit stones and so on…
“The top ten will get a rank one spirit weapon. You will not be fighting with beasts this time so the school and the military took out some mutated beast meat as compensation.
“This is to motivate the students to cultivate more seriously.
“Those from eleventh place to twentieth place will receive fifty kilograms of Early Stage Level One mutated beast meat.
“Those from twenty-first place to twentieth place will receive forty kilograms of Early Stage Level One mutated beast meat.
“Ten kilograms of meat will be deducted for every ten students that come after that. Only those in the top fifty will receive this reward, are you all clear?”
As soon as Shen Yanhu said that, the students in the class immediately became excited!
There were about 650 students in Year One.
The top 50 would be rewarded. The probability of each person winning was one in ten. This probability was not low!
Those students who were hovering between the 11th and 50th place of the grade now have a fighting chance!
Chu Lingjun nodded in approval. Although spirit stones were not very useful for his cultivation, it was still a good harvest if he exchanged them for money and other resources.
The spirit stones used for cultivation could store spiritual energy. When Chu Lingjun uses his superpower during combat and runs out, he could mobilize the spiritual energy in the spirit stone to use as his reserve.
For Chu Lingjun, the electric eel clone was equivalent to his second reserve. He could directly mobilize the spiritual energy of the clone rather than relying on spirit stones.
After using one spirit stone, Chu Lingjun realized that using the electric eel clone was much more convenient. The rest of the spirit stones he won were exchanged for money or other resources.
Ding Peng had something up his sleeve for this midterm exam as well.
In the last monthly exam, Ding Peng was ranked 11th in the year, but he did not get a single thing.
For an ordinary family, having any amount of Early Stage Level One beast meat was a big feat.
Having 50 kilograms of meat would be equivalent to 25,000 dollars!
Of course, the military didn’t need to spend so much money to purchase the meat. There were many exotic beasts that the military would have to kill at the Iron Peak Mountain every day.
Taking out a few hundred kilograms to reward the students was just a small drop in the ocean for them.
Somehow, Chu Lingjun had a bad feeling when he saw the bountiful rewards.
It was odd that the military was willing to sponsor the reward for the last monthly exam, and the same was true for the midterm exam. This was something that had never happened in previous years.
This must mean that the number of mutated beasts in the Iron Peak Mountain multiplied, and a new spatial rift might have appeared in the mountain range…
Last month, General Gao Baisheng and a battalion died in battle…
For some reason, Chu Lingjun felt a sense of urgency… It was as if a storm was about to come!
“Chu Lingjun, come here for a moment.”
Shen Yanhu called out to Chu Lingjun after he finished explaining the rewards and precautions for today’s midterm exam.
“Yes, sir.”
Shen Yanhu brought Chu Lingjun to the corridor outside the classroom.
Shen Yanhu subconsciously looked around and said to Chu Lingjun seriously, “Do you still remember what I told you last time? Remember not to leave the city or go to remote places for the next one or two months!”
‘Well… I’ve already gone out once and taken three lives… At least I’m still here?’
Chu Lingjun had an inkling feeling as to why, but his face still revealed a nervous and puzzled expression. ‘What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Shen Yanhu took out his phone, turned on the screen, and handed it to Chu Lingjun. “You are on the bounty list issued by the church, so you have to be careful during this period of time. It is very likely that there will be dark warriors and dark espers who will attack you in exchange for the bounty.”
The church was created by those mythical beings who descended from the spatial rift to deal with humans.
They called themselves The Gods, while the average human called them the Cthulhuist. They are from the Cthulhuism Society.
“Of course, you will be completely safe because you live in the military district. No one would dare to openly attack the military district.
“You can rest assured that your family will be safe and that you can sleep soundly at night.
“The only thing you should worry about is the road to and from school. You have to maintain constant vigilance. Fortunately, it won’t take long to reach school to and fro from your home.”
Hongguang District was only two to three kilometers away from Quicksand High School. Moreover, he would have to take the main road to go to school. Along the way, there were a large number of pedestrians and city guards patrolling the area.
If they attacked Chu Lingjun on these roads, it was very likely that the other party would not be able to leave unscathed.
The probability of this happening was extremely low because the dark warriors and dark espers were in the same situation as the bandits who attacked Chu Lingjun previously. They could not be exposed for different reasons.
Therefore, unless there was an extremely vicious wanted criminal with nothing else to live for planning to kill Chu Lingjun, Chu Lingjun can rest assured.
Chu Lingjun took Shen Yanhu’s phone and saw that he was at the bottom of the bounty list.
When he is dead, the killer will receive a drop of C-class divine blood. “Sir, what does C-class divine blood mean?” Chu Lingjun asked curiously..
