Chapter 65: I’ve been waiting for you for a long time
In the dense forest, sunlight falls sporadically through the gaps between the leaves of the trees, and dots of light shine on the ground covered with dead leaves, setting the whole forest in a slightly dreamlike mood.
In the quiet forest, footsteps suddenly sounded, from far to near, and a few moments later, five figures slowly appeared.
When the figures fully revealed their forms, it became clear that those five people were none other than Xiao Ming, Jia Yun, and the others.
"Just now, Elder Su said that whoever arrives first will get the best reward, what do you think of this?" Bo Pao, the tallest of the five, suddenly stopped and asked.
When Xiao Ming heard the words, he only looked at him lightly and did not answer.
However, the delicate-looking Jia Yun sensed that there was something in his words and asked with a frown, "Bo Pao, what do you mean by that?"
"Hehe, what Bo Pao means is that we will now separate each other and compete for rewards according to our abilities." Jiang Yanshu, who was wearing a red robe that showed her dazzling and beautiful, said with a smile.
Bo Pao did not reply, as that was exactly what he was thinking.
Other than Xiao Ming, he was the strongest in this group, with the strength of a four-star Dou Grandmaster, so he did not even put the pursuit of those so-called senior students who were the same age as him in his eyes.
What he was considering now was how to compete with Xiao Ming for the first-place title, and it wasn't that he thought too much of himself and looked down on Xiao Ming.
If it was an arena match, he would have immediately given up having already been defeated once by Xiao Ming, but this wasn't an arena match, now it was about sneaking.
He had some knowledge of sneaking into the forest, which he felt was something that someone as young and less experienced as Xiao Ming shouldn't have, so he felt he had a good chance of winning, hence his question.
And there was another quite realistic problem, that is, if the five of them were together, then the position of captain would definitely go to the strongest, Xiao Ming.
When the time came, even if they came in first all together, the best reward would go to the captain.
Although it was possible that the reward would be equal for all, he did not want to gamble on that possibility.
He preferred to go on his own merits, and if he was not as good as the others, he would admit it.
Now that Jiang Yanshu had made it clear, Yin Lu, the other man in the top five of this competition, clapped his hands and also said, "Since Bo Pao brought it up, I happen to have the same intention, so why don't we dissolve it right now?"
"This..." Jia Yun was a little hesitant, and could only look at Xiao Ming, who was the most familiar with her among these few people.
"I have no problem with it."
Xiao Ming's expression was indifferent, they all wanted the same things, what could he do? Of course, follow their wishes, anyway, it's not like he's losing anything.
"Hehehe, since four out of five people have already made up their minds, let's split up now, goodbye everyone." As soon as Xiao Ming's words left his mouth, Jiang Yanshu smiled charmingly at everyone before disappearing into the forest.
"Goodbye everyone."
"To be honest, I am quite knowledgeable in the way of sneaking, Xiao Ming, although you are strong, you are not necessarily skilled in this way, I am determined to win this reward, I will leave first."
Yin Lu and Bo Pao left one after another, and finally, only Jia Yun and Xiao Ming were left in the same place.
Looking at Jia Yun who stood beside him with no intention of leaving, Xiao Ming was a little surprised.
"Jia Yun, aren't you planning to leave?"
"This..." Jia Yun seemed to have something to say but remained silent for a while before finally saying, "I originally wanted to team up with you, but with your strength, I'm definitely a burden to you, so I'd rather go alone. Xiao Ming, I'll see you at the end of the line."
Jia Yun said, waving her hand, and without waiting for Xiao Ming to say anything, she walked into the forest alone.
"Just go, otherwise, it will become a bit troublesome later on." Standing in place, Xiao Ming muttered and then frowned, "Why are these senior students moving so slowly? I've been waiting for them for half a day."
Sha sha!
From the direction where Xiao Ming and the others were coming from, several figures jumped out from the tree branches, and immediately their bodies descended down the tree trunks and finally landed not far behind Xiao Ming.
"This back, isn't he Xiao Ming?" After landing on the ground, a man dressed in blue looked at Xiao Ming, who had his back to them, and said with a frown.
Their group had entered the Inner Academy last year, so they had a certain impression of Xiao Ming, who had always had a great reputation.
And he had coincidentally seen Xiao Ming, so at this moment, he said Xiao Ming's name.
"Do you know me?" Xiao Ming turned around, a little surprised.
"Hehe, I saw you once when I was at the Outer Academy." The blue-robed youth let out a laugh before asking in confusion, "Where are the others from your team?"
"Oh, they're gone."
The blue-robed youth was even more puzzled when he heard those words.
"So, you're the only one left here? Why are you stupidly staying here and not leaving."
"I'm waiting for you."
"What?"
"Didn't you get it? I mean I'm waiting for you guys and I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xiao Ming spoke slowly and methodically as if they were a plate of food.
Understanding Xiao Ming's meaning, the blue-robed youth felt extremely displeased and coldly snorted.
"Arrogant, Xiao Ming, your talent is good, but you don't think you can beat the five by yourself, do you? Be a good boy and hand over your crystal card and you can get rid of the physical pain."
Xiao Ming looked at him without saying anything, but the meaning revealed was clear, if you want it, come get it yourself.
"Damn it, let's all go together." Although he was a little annoyed with Xiao Ming's attitude, the blue-robed youth did not say that he would fight him single-handedly, but cautiously called out to his companions to surround him.
As soon as his words fell, the four men behind him gathered their Dou Qi and with nimble hands and feet rushed towards Xiao Ming together in an instant.
"Palm of the Burning Flame!"
"......"
Several attacks struck at various places on Xiao Ming's body, the fierce attacks caused a sonic sound.
"He's going to get hit!" A flat-headed youth couldn't help but smile as he saw that his attack was an instant away from landing on Xiao Ming, and inwardly he couldn't help but secretly think, 'what a genius, but he was still knocked down by us with a single move.'
"Watch out!" Before he could think about what he had to be careful about, he felt a strong wind rushing towards his chest, followed by a huge pain spreading out from his chest.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four loud sounds rang out almost at the same time, and then the four figures that had originally flashed towards Xiao Ming flew backwards at a faster speed, flying over the blue-robed youth's head, first crashing heavily into the trees, causing them to shake violently, and then hitting the ground with the force of the recoil.
!!!!
The blue-robed youth turned in horror as he saw four puffs of blood spurting in unison from the mouths of his companions, as they were unable to get up and were no longer able to fight.
'He defeated Tie Shan and the others, who were about as strong as me, in an instant, what a realm Xiao Ming is in!' At this moment, the blue-robed youth only had this thought.
Swallowing saliva, he turned to Xiao Ming who was walking towards him and revealed a smile worse than crying, "Senior Xiao Ming, just now it was our eyes that couldn't see Mount Tai and offended you, I'm here to apologize to you, can you forgive us?"
"Yes." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
"Really?" The blue-robed youth's face revealed a look of surprise, he thought he was going to get a beating.
"But first, you have to deliver one thing."
"What thing?" At those words, the blue-robed youth felt vaguely uneasy, and the smile he had just displayed, contracted.
'It couldn't be that, it couldn't be, he had stayed at the Outer Academy, there was no way for him to know.'
"Hand over the Fire Crystal Card."
Xiao Ming's words affirmed his fears, the blue-robed youth was about to cry but had no tears. 'Damn, how did he know?'
Seeing the blue-robed youth with a sour face and without the slightest movement, Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow.
“Looks like you still need a beating to become honest.”
"Hey, wait, I'll pass it to you, don't do it." Seeing that Xiao Ming was about to make a move, the blue-robed youth's face changed greatly and he struggled for a while before finally sitting on his butt with a gray face, his palm trembling as he took out a light blue Fire Crystal Card from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Ming.
After a while, Xiao Ming held up his Crystal Card whose number had become one hundred two, and a smile appeared on his face as he tossed the five crystal cards in his hand to the blue-robed youth.
Xiao Ming smiled and said, “Thank you very much then, goodbye”.
'Who wants to say goodbye to you' the blue-robed youth thought depressedly as he looked at his crystal card that only had seven days of fire energy left.
Xiao Ming didn't care what he thought, and after saying this, he turned around and left.
......
For the next few days, Xiao Ming continued to search for the teams of five senior students who were alone.
Although these senior students were experienced and worked well together, not many of them could take a hit from Xiao Ming.
Even the senior students whose realm was similar to Xiao Ming's could not receive more than a few of Xiao Ming's moves.
In this situation, Xiao Ming's harvest was very high.
In addition, there was a rule in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition that if a senior student team lost their "Fire Energy" below "10" in the forest, then they were disqualified and could not stay in the forest to participate in the Hunt, and at that time, they had to automatically leave.
Xiao Ming did not have to fear being chased by the guys he had defeated.
In this way, the senior student teams in the forest were dwindling.
.........
Controlling the power of the Sanyan Void Spirit Seal, Xiao Ming knocked the strongest of the last remaining team called Black White Evil Stopper to the ground, causing a shout of surprise from the new students who were hiding in the forest and did not dare to show themselves.
After calming his breathing and wiping the sweat from his head, Xiao Ming looked at the Black White Evil Stopper team members who had fallen to the ground and sighed at the strength of the Black White Evil Stopper team before approaching the team leader and saying.
"Hand over your Fire Crystal Cards."
"Cough cough cough, worthy of being this year's strongest, really powerful." The defeated Black White Evil Stopper team captain said with difficulty as a large mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.
"Huh?" Seeing that he didn't move, Xiao Ming was about to continue.
"No need, your skills are better than ours and I'm willing to admit defeat, I'll give you the Fire Crystal Card."
A light blue card flew towards Xiao Ming and he took it in his hand, Xiao Ming took out his own crystal card and crossed it, watching the number change from twelve hundred to thirteen hundred, a smirk appeared on his face, 'worthy of being the captain of the Black White Evil Stopper team, a strong person in the Dou Spirit realm, quite wealthy'.
"What about yours?"
Xiao Ming said to the other four members of the Black White Evil Stopper team.
