Chapter 42: First Place, Chu Lingjun!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Lingjun struck another bolt of lightning. After confirming that the weeping monster was dead and charred black, he stopped.

All it took was to strike it ten times with lighting!

What a huge difference compared to other beasts!

Chu Lingjun was filled with fatigue from fighting the beast. His mental energy was almost exhausted, and the spiritual energy in his body was depleted.

Facing a true expert, Chu Lingjun’s weakness of having a low cultivation level was immediately exposed.

Chu Lingjun slowly walked out of the arena and shook at his incompetence.

Everyone looked at Chu Lingjun as he walked out. Their faces were filled with shock and astonishment.

Some were envious, some were proud, and some were regretful. Clearly, they hated themselves for not thinking of the method of sprinkling sand.

Of course, there were also a few who had disdainful expressions on their faces. They felt that Chu Lingjun’s method of defeating the enemy shouldn’t be allowed.

Chu Lingjun smiled faintly and ignored them.

Compared to mutated beasts, humans didn’t have an advantage in terms of physical attributes.

However, they had the advantage of intelligence.

As the cultivation level of mutated beasts increases, their intelligence would also gradually increase, and this advantage of humans would gradually be wiped out.

Of course, this was not the most important thing needed to win a battle.

Chu Lingjun looked at his watch. As he killed the weeping monster, his points instantly soared to 442 points.

Zhou Anqi, who was in second place, only had 245 points, while Luo Chaoxiang, who was in third place, had 241 points.

His results were unparalleled!

There was a huge gap between him and the rest of the rankings!

“That’s more like it.” Chu Lingjun was ecstatic.

At the campsite at the foot of the mountain.

“Holy sh*t!”

All the present staff were impressed with Chi Lingjun’s method of blinding the weeping monster with sand!

They had thought of many ways to clear the stage, but they had never expected Chu Lingjun’s way!

“This kid is a thief!”

“Yeah, I can’t believe he did all of that!”

“Kids nowadays are full of ideas.”

“Hmph, what’s there to be proud of? It was simply unorthodox!”

At this moment, a gray-haired teacher suddenly snorted and looked at Chu Lingjun with disdain.

This old man was wearing a tunic suit. He had a thin face and he looked quite sage-like.

Hearing the old man’s cold snort caused the surrounding teachers to fall silent.

Everyone spoke with their eyes but not their mouths.

This man was the teacher in charge of Year One Class One, Zhang Yongguo.

Zhang Yongguo was one of the top three strongest teachers in Quicksand High School.

However, as he grew older, Zhang Yongguo gradually became more stubborn to change.

This old man did not like watching Luo Chaoxiang lose.

Now that he had seen Chu Lingjun use such a trick to win, the old man couldn’t help but mock him.

“Whether it’s a black cat or a white cat, it’s still a cat that can catch mice!”

A burly middle-aged man spoke up — it was Shen Yanhu, the homeroom teacher of Year One Class Four.

He would never tolerate anyone bad-mouthing his student while he was there!

Even an old man like Zhang Yongguo was not safe!

Shen Yanhu looked straight at Zhang Yongguo and said, “The art of war is all about deception! On the battlefield, as long as you can kill the enemy, any method is a good one!”

Zhang Yongguo sneered and retorted, “Are you going to teach your students how to throw sand and lime when they fight enemies in the future?”

“As long as it can cause damage and disrupt the enemy, why not?” Shen Yanhu shrugged.

“Didn’t you look for a mythical creature? What’s the point of having fake eyes on the face if not for deception? Are state officials the only ones allowed to set fires? Why should commoners be shunned for lighting up lamps?” Zhang Yongguo was speechless!

The weeping monster played dirty tricks, so why couldn’t he?

If the old man retorted, it would be seen as showing double standards. Even he was well aware of that so he kept his mouth shut.

With a huge 200-point gap, Zhou Anqi, Duan Feng, and the others spent the rest of the time hunting Late Stage Level One exotic beasts.

No matter what they did, Chu Lingjun was still the first in the monthly examination.

After all, Late Stage Level One exotic beasts weren’t easy to deal with. Even Chu Lingjun had to expend his energy to defeat it.

Secondly, in order to protect the students’ safety, there weren’t many Late Stage Level One exotic beasts.

Going on a killing spree to hunt down lower-level beasts would not be enough to catch up to him.

There were too many of them and there was only that much cake, so they really couldn’t catch up.

With a loud bell ringing in the sky, the first monthly exam of the new semester came to an end.

“The exam has ended. Students, please return to the foot of the mountain in an orderly manner. If you need help, please call the emergency number on your watch.”

Drones patrolled the sky above the forest, broadcasting to every corner of the forest.

A few teachers walked into the forest to pick up the students and to clear a safe path for the students.

One by one, the students walked away from the forest. Many of them were pale, and they looked as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden. After fighting for their lives in the wild, the nightmare was finally over.

On the other hand, some people had unwilling expressions on their faces. They felt that the examination time was too short, and they still wanted to kill more beasts.

The students of Year One Class Four reached the foot of the mountain.

“Really? Chu Lingjun managed to get four hundred points?! ” The moment they met, they immediately started talking.

“I… I only collected twenty-five points…” Lin Yin pouted.

As a fellow esper, Lin Yin felt as if there was a whole world between her and Chu Lingjun…

For the past three days, she had been carefully hiding at the foot of the mountain.

Only when weak exotic beasts presented themselves did she dare to muster the courage to attack them with the wooden vines she had.

“He’s crazy. I could only get a hundred and fifty.” Zhuo Chang, who had a robust figure, also laughed bitterly.

Zhuo Chang was an Early Stage Rank One martial artist. Coupled with the strength enhancement from his awakened Battle Domain, his strength was 10 percent higher than that of an ordinary Early Stage Rank One martial artist. Even so, he only managed to get 150 points.

However, Chu Lingjun had scored 442 points, which was nearly 300 points higher than him!

Zhuo Chang could not believe his eyes when he saw the rankings just now. Did he cheat?

It wasn’t just Year One Class Four students who were talking about it. The people from the other classes were also looking at the watches in their hands in shock and discussing this matter animatedly.

Some people suspected that Chu Lingjun was cheating, some suspected that his watch was broken, and some even suspected that Chu Lingjun was the principal’s illegitimate son…

All kinds of comments emerged one after another.

In short, Chu Lingjun’s popularity rose to fame in his school today!

All the Year One students can recognize this name!
