Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System

Third-rank Vicious Beasts are 100 points.

Qin Mu had indeed killed dozens, but he had calculated, and the number definitely wasn't over a hundred.

"Yes, Fourth-rank vicious beasts are Martial General level, and they give a lot of points. One is worth 3000 points," Xiao Yi added.

Hiss!

No wonder.

Of course, killing high-rank Vicious Beasts yields more points and is highly valued.

Of course, one must be able to kill them, and more importantly, be able to encounter them.

A horde of third-rank beasts showing up on the route of the exam is something so rare, no?

Qin Mu was still thinking.

"Master, there is someone coming close from nearby. He is coming very fast, and the identification signal is from the Martial Examination rescue team."

After a while.

The three members of the rescue team directly headed towards the shelter, traveling at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour.

The three figures moved extremely quickly, but they stopped, as if frozen, without a single gasp, standing still on the plain.

"Qin Mu! We are from the Martial Examination rescue team, come down first."

Hearing the voice.

Qin Mu moved a little closer to the position of the rescue team: "What's wrong? There are still Vicious Beasts to be killed here~"

What?

The three of them never would have thought that after rushing over in such a hurry, what awaited them was the other party saying, "I'm having a great time."

Wu Zhiming took a step forward and eyed the wolf packs fiercely fighting in the distance.

They already knew from communication that Qin Mu had dealt with the Wolf King.

However, when he actually arrived on the scene and encountered a Quasi-Martial Artist examinee facing a third-rank beast horde and a third-rank flying Vicious Beast horde, he could still slaughter them so brutally, and was shocked.

"Don't be too greedy; the Golden-Beaked Vultures have yet to discover you. Once they do, at the slightest sign of you, they will pursue you relentlessly across this grassland. The moment you move, they will follow. The moment you rest, they will dive and attack!

Flying Vicious Beasts are creatures that no Martial Artist wants to provoke excessively.

Even from a Mentalist, one would not typically stir up trouble.

Flying vicious beasts are like lighthouses, guiding other vicious beasts and informing the ground vicious beasts that there are enemies here wherever you go.

Qin Mu thought about it; he had accumulated enough points, so he stopped dwelling on it.

"But what about my spoils of war?"

Hahaha!

Wu Zhiming burst into a loud laugh, his voice resonating across the plain: "Wait, I'll get them back for you!"

After he had finished speaking,

His foot strength exploded with a loud bang, and Wu Zhiming shot out like a cannonball.

Immediately afterwards.

Under the moonlight, a blood-forged blade light emerged horizontally.

Swish!

With a horizontal slash, all the Three-Eyed Wolves within seven to eight meters radius were cut in half in mid-air.

It wasn't over yet.

Wu Zhiming spun around and delivered another blood-forged slash that tore through the air!

The second slash killed dozens more Vicious Beasts.

And there was more.

Third slash, fourth slash, fifth slash!

Swish, swish, swish!

Finally, three successive blood-forged slashes struck the sky!

The blade's aura cut them down mid-air, even the diving Golden-Beaked Vultures!

"Hiss. so fierce!!!"

Sometimes Qin Mu saw the combat footage of Grandmaster on his phone, but the image was blurred.

Grandmasters do not engage in any performative actions.

A Grandmaster is a Grandmaster!

They are the pillars protecting human cities!

Now, looking again.

This Martial Artist in the rescue team must be of the Grandmaster Realm!!

Confronting the fierce beasts, he launched eight continuous slashes in a row!

The ground had been swept clean, and the terrifying might made the Golden-Beaked Vultures not dare to dive!

They no longer circled but flapped their wings and flew high, withdrawing several thousand meters away.

This is a Grandmaster!

"Supervisor Wu truly lives up to his name as Blood Blade Grandmaster. Although he has been managing the Star-Breaking Martial Arts Hall for the past few years and rarely made a move, seeing him today, his blade techniques are still shocking."

Beside him, a middle-aged man spoke.

"Zhang Wei from Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall, Martial General Ninth Rank, one of the rescue team members for this Martial Examination."

"This gentleman beside him is Yan Zhen from the military, also a Martial General Ninth Rank."

"As for Supervisor Wu, he asked to join this rescue operation after he spotted the beast horde."

Upon hearing that it was his own people.

Qin Mu also couldn't stay suspended in the air. He flipped to the ground, put away his shield, and stepped forward, saying, "Qin Mu from Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall."

Mm.

Zhang Wei immediately nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this: "Old Guo also told me about your situation. Given your excellent talent, after the Martial Examination we will directly apply to upgrade your contract to SSS Contract. He will discuss the specific terms with you when you return, so don't be anxious."

Qin Mu was completely bewildered.

Am I anxious?

When was I anxious?

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Yan Zhen followed up: "Qin Mu, have you considered joining the military? This doesn't conflict with your Martial Arts Hall contract. When there are major missions, participating will bring considerable rewards. In terms of Vicious Beast resources, our military is also the most abundant. Simply put, you won't have to worry about food and drink."

Seeing Zhang Wei make no effort to stop him, Qin Mu followed along and asked.

What kind of major missions are they?

Yan Zhen replied, "They are usually city defense missions. You should know that hordes of Vicious Beasts will initiate mass attacks against cities. In the past few decades, various cities have suffered losses from the sieges of Vicious Beasts. This is a bloody lesson.

"So in the last few years, we have changed our strategy and periodically clean out large-scale Vicious Beast hordes. This has reduced the number of city defense missions that occur, but they still do.

Qin Mu shook his head slightly: "No need, I will participate in city defense missions myself."

Anyway, city defense won't be in the next few days.

Over the last three to five years, no large-scale Vicious Beast sieges have been reported.

What if one breaks out a year or two from now?

Excuse me.

By that time, I'll have probably exterminated all the Vicious Beasts.

Huh?

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen's eyes widened and then he roared, "Good! As expected of a son of Jiangcheng!! Full of spirit!!"

"Since you'll be participating anyway, just register your name. The military will contact you immediately if Vicious Beasts attack the city."

That point was irrelevant.

Qin Mu left his contact information, and Yan Zhen also sent Qin Mu some proof along with a military rank.

"What the heck?

"Major?"

Qin Mu took the proof and saw that the rank was indeed a bit alarming.

Jiangcheng Military only had four military zones; the Great General commanded all the city defenses, and the other Generals must at least be Grandmaster Cultivators, right?

He was just a Quasi-Martial Artist; he hadn't even passed the exam yet.

Directly issuing a Major rank?

"Haha, it's an honorary position, but it's still useful. You get tens of thousands in monthly allowances," Yan Zhen said casually, which made Qin Mu feel somewhat awkward.

Zhang Wei laughed: "It's fine. Most Martial Artists above the Martial General level hold positions in the military. You are a Genius Mentalist, and if your rank was too low, it would be troublesome to keep changing it."

That makes sense.

Tens of thousands in allowance every month are pocket money for Martial Generals and Grandmasters, not even enough to buy a meal, yet they give it to you, without you needing to exhaust yourself.

As for city defence, it is inherently the duty of Martial Artists; it is an inescapable responsibility.

Even without pay, you still have to go!

Just then.

A figure flashed by.

Bang!

Wu Zhiming threw down a big pile of Golden-Beaked Vulture corpses onto the ground.

"Don't bother with the ordinary Three-Eyed Wolves; the Golden Eagles and Vultures will take care of them later. This is also a tacit understanding between Martial Artists and Vicious Beasts."

"When we kill, they don't interfere, but when we leave, at least we leave them something, otherwise they will hold a grudge against us."

Huh?

There's such a thing?

Qin Mu really had never heard of it.

Seeing Qin Mu in a daze, Wu Zhiming couldn't help but laugh: "Martial Artists need to learn a lot in the wild, and the path of Cultivation is the same!

"Mentalists, as a very special branch among Martial Artists, to outsiders seem to rely wholly on talent.

"Actually, that is not the case."

Wu Zhiming clasped his hands behind his back; his Grandmaster aura instantly expanded, and he solemnly declared, "Any method of strengthening oneself is a form of Cultivation! Martial Artists are like this, and Mentalists are like this!

"To progress, to advance to Grandmaster, and even to Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster. Talent, perseverance, Comprehension Ability, guidance, tempering, and resources-none of them can be lacking!

"I know you joined Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall, but I still invite you to join Starbreaker!"

"Because at Starbreaker, we have the best resources, the best guidance. The strongest on Dragon Star is at Starbreaker! Only under the strongest can you see the gap and have a chance to approach the strongest!

"Mentalists rely on talent, but talent will eventually be exhausted one day. At that time, even a single Breakthrough will be extremely hard. Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall is only in Jiangcheng and truly cannot provide you with the resources and guidance advantages of the entire Dragon Star to help you Breakthrough to Grandmaster, and even Great Grandmaster!

What the heck?

What is this for?

Are you poaching him?

But you should at least be more discreet, Zhang Wei from Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall is still here!

Are you treating him as if he's dead?

Or rather.

Is a Grandmaster that arrogant, totally disregarding your Face?

Qin Mu also couldn't bring himself to look at Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei's silence proved that he wouldn't openly challenge Wu Zhiming's aura.

A Grandmaster has that kind of boldness; no need to play dirty.

If it's direct, what can you do?

"Ahem, well, I'm quite happy at Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall for now." A smile appeared on Qin Mu's lips. Breaking a freshly signed contract and breaking it openly was a bit. awkward. Haha. Wu Zhiming laughed heartily: "Since I can say it, I certainly won't be breaking any rules. Facing the pressure of Vicious Beasts, everyone must compete. Staying in one corner will only lead to death." "Martial Artists compete, Martial Arts Halls compete, cities compete—everyone is competing! "Because the Vicious Beasts in the wild are also this way; daily slaughter and survival—that is the competition of vicious beasts! "I don't need to say much about the advantages of Starbreaker. I'll give you an SSS Contract, plus a thirty percent increase in benefits. Those are my terms!"
