Chapter 330: Advancement of 3 Ranks in a Row!
"squeak!"
The chirping of insects had just begun when the first row of black beetles exploded into clumps of sticky green pulp, like watermelons crushed by a heavy truck.
Chen Yifan didn't even take his hand out of his pocket.
The mental energy in his mind spread outwards, instantly turning a 30-meter radius around him into an absolute killing field.
Whether it's level 55 or level 60, as long as these hard-boned insects enter this area, their shells, which are harder than C-grade alloy, will immediately shatter.
Their souls were crushed to dust by the domineering mental oppression.
[Ding! Killed a Lv.55 White Bone Black Beetle, gained 18000 experience points.]
[Ding! Killed a Lv.56 White Bone Black Beetle, gained 19500 experience points.]
[Ding! Defeat Lv.55...]
The system notifications in my mind came out so fast that they became a continuous alarm.
Chen Yifan walked forward, stepping on the sap-covered ground.
Positioning? Not needed.
Calculate skill cooldowns? There are no cooldowns at all.
Keeping blue buff to save your life? That's out of the question.
Without the mental lock suppressing him, his current output power is 100%.
This power was already above the world engine, and with the World Core fragment obscuring it, the system couldn't detect anything amiss.
This feels so good.
Those black beetles weren't very intelligent; they only knew to rush forward following the scent of living people.
As many as rushed in, as many died.
Half an hour later, Chen Yifan single-handedly leveled the Bone Insect Nest, which could wipe out an entire elite squad of 100 third-tier soldiers.
The mountain of dead insects emitted a pungent, sweet, and fishy smell.
He raised his hand and swatted away a mutated insect queen that was barely clinging to life, then glanced at the experience bar.
It increased by almost half.
"Not enough, this appetizer isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap."
Chen Yifan twisted his neck, his bones cracking a few times, and then turned and plunged deeper into the wasteland.
Over the next 24 hours, the wasteland within 200 kilometers north of Jiangcheng underwent a horrific cleansing.
The Spider Forest.
Hundreds of highly venomous spiders, each the size of a water tank, hung upside down from a dead tree. Before they could even spit out their venomous webs, an invisible force slammed down on them.
The entire forest was instantly flattened, and the green, poisonous blood burned the ground until it was smoking.
A gathering place for carrion-eating wolves.
More than three hundred wolves at the third level were devouring a huge alien beast corpse.
Chen Yifan walked in like a casual street urchin, without even glancing inside.
The mental shock transformed into hundreds of invisible guillotines, sweeping across the area.
The wolf's skull rolled all over the ground.
Night fell again.
Chen Yifan leaned against a weathered rock, gulped down two bottles of high-concentration spiritual energy recovery potion, and casually wiped the sweat from his face.
After a day and a night of intense mental exertion, even he felt his head buzzing.
But looking at the flashing light screen in the upper right corner of my vision, that bit of fatigue was instantly washed away.
[Ding! Level increased to Lv.43!]
[Ding! Level increased to Lv.44!]
[Ding! Level increased to Lv.45!]
Three promotions in one day!
If this speed were to be relayed back to Kyoto Martial Arts University, it would probably cause those so-called geniuses to have their Dao hearts shattered on the spot.
The panel now has a total of thirty free attribute points.
Without hesitation, Chen Yifan clicked the "Spirit" section thirty times.
They didn't even glance at his physique or agility.
hum!
The external spiritual palace in his mind suddenly trembled, and an extremely dazzling white light burst forth from the twelve thick stone pillars.
The attribute points that had just been extracted from the system were all greedily swallowed by Xin Gong.
The originally invisible spiritual energy now had a faint viscous texture in the Heart Palace, as if it was about to condense into a tangible liquid.
This is not just a quantitative change, but a transformation toward a qualitative one.
Chen Yifan exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling light and airy, as if even the constraints of this world on his body had lessened.
"At this rate, if I grind for a few more days, even if a level 90 or higher fourth-tier expert comes over, I can shake his brains clean with my mental power."
He grinned, stretched his shoulders, and prepared to continue north in search of the next unfortunate group of monsters.
At the same time.
The temporary underground command post for the lamplighters in Jiangcheng city.
"Bang!"
A military tactical tablet costing over a million dollars was smashed against the wall, its screen shattering into countless glass shards.
Jiangcheng's supreme commander, Lei Zhen, had red eyes and his chest heaving violently, like a raging bull.
The dozen or so technicians and staff below kept their heads down, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Twelve hours! More than three thousand people turned the entire city of Jiangcheng upside down! They even investigated the rats in the sewers for three generations!"
Lei Zhen slammed his hand on the alloy tabletop, causing the teacups to bounce wildly.
"Now you're telling me all those spatial fluctuations in the city were fake? All just smoke and mirrors thrown out by the enemy?!"
The supervisor in charge of technical tracking swallowed hard and forced himself to speak.
"Director Lei... it's definitely fake. The other side's simulation methods for spatial frequency bands are too sophisticated. And we found the hovercar that Mu Wanqing drove off in on Mingde Road in an abandoned mine 100 kilometers outside the city..."
Where are they?!
"The car was empty. The surveillance footage along the route was completely wiped clean using top-tier hacking techniques; nothing was left."
Lei Zhen was so angry that he laughed instead.
Great, that's wonderful.
He killed a core member of the Jiangcheng Lantern Bearer, stripped and robbed people in front of Team Three in the city, and then swaggered away the civilians before disappearing into thin air!
even!
Are top hackers helping out?
This is like putting the entire Jiangcheng branch's face on the ground and rubbing it wildly!
"Find him! Even if he can turn invisible, he can't really evaporate! Turn the space radar to maximum power! Dig him out of the ground if you have to!"
"Sir!"
An intelligence officer wearing heavy headphones suddenly jumped up from his chair, his voice cracking.
"The space-based satellite is responding! In the heart of the wilderness, 200 kilometers to the north!"
Lei Zhen shoved the person in front of him aside and strode to the main screen: "Release it!"
A huge satellite thermal image instantly appeared on the large screen.
Against the backdrop of the pitch-black wasteland, a series of glaringly dark red high-energy reaction points, like a crooked red line, stretch northward.
"What is this?" Lei Zhen stared at the red dots, his brows furrowed into a deep knot.
The technician frantically typed on the keyboard, bringing up the data panel.
"These are ruins left over from residual energy! They were all gathering places for beasts of level three or higher! The Bone Insect Nest, the Poison Spider Forest, the Blood Hyena Valley... they were all wiped out!"
"Why didn't we find any large-scale psionic explosions? And no trace of team firepower either?" another operator asked in surprise.
The intelligence officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"There are no psionic fluctuations. We detected extremely high-frequency psychic energy turbulence at the scene."
"The opponent used... pure mental power to crush them. Moreover, this energy wave overlaps by a staggering 99% with that of the mysterious powerhouse on Mingde Road who shattered three groups of over a dozen people!"
The command room fell silent instantly, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
How could a single person, without any equipment or supplies, traverse a 200-kilometer danger zone using only their mental strength in less than two days?
Is this guy even human?!
"They've made a fool of us, then gone off to grind levels in the wilderness!"
Lei Zhen felt the blood vessels in his forehead throbbing.
The enemy wasn't hiding in the city at all! Those chaotic spatial fluctuations were just to hold back Jiangcheng's troops so that I could go out and hunt in the wild in peace!
The extreme humiliation caused Lei Zhen to completely lose his patience.
"Fine, since you're not going to dodge, then don't blame me for resorting to underhanded tactics."
He turned around, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the supervisor.
"Notify the 'Hound' Special Operations Team."
"Have the logistics department bring out all those 'High-Dimensional Mental Shackles' and 'Power Collars' designed for high-level heretics!"
"Everyone board the first-class heavy transport aircraft. Calculate his trajectory and airdrop him directly in front of him!"
Lei Zhen gritted his teeth and added, word by word.
"That kid is definitely at his most mentally charged and defenseless right now. No need to capture him alive; once we confirm he's a heretic, kill him on the spot!"
"yes!"
