38 Luo Chaoxiang... Defeated!

Halfway up the mountain, red clouds filled the sky.

Chu Lingjun sat on a branch, eating the sashimi in his hand as he gazed at the mountaintop.

The baby's cry kept echoing from the top of the mountain.

The sound was sharp and piercing, and it was extremely annoying. It clearly came from the top of the mountain, but it sounded like the baby was loudly crying in his ears.

The world turned dark again. However, the cries of the baby on the mountain peak were still endless, resounding in the surrounding forest!

It was clearly a wild area full of mutated beasts and danger was lurking everywhere, but for some reason, the sound of the baby crying never stopped.

The loud baby cry sounded even more sinister and terrifying at night, giving people goosebumps!

Chu Lingjun also noticed that the closer he got to the peak, the fewer exotic beasts there were.

This meant that the boss at the top of the mountain was strong enough to ward other beasts away. It had formed its own territory, preventing the other mutated beasts from approaching it casually.

On the second night of the monthly examination, nothing happened. There were no strange beasts around.

On the third day, Chu Lingjun woke up with big dark circles under his eyes. He yawned and looked tired.

That was because the strange baby cry from last night would suddenly ring out from time to time. It was like a demonic sound that filled his ears, almost like an alarm clock. It scared Chu Lingjun so much that he quivered and complained endlessly!

Finally, the sky turned bright!

When the sky lit up, the strange baby cries suddenly stopped!

Chu Lingjun was so angry that he couldn't help but curse. Which f*cking baby was this? Was the baby crying on purpose?!

Chu Lingjun hesitated for a moment before returning to the treetop to catch up on his sleep.

In a life-and-death battle, every little mistake could lead to lifelong regret.

After sleeping for two hours, Chu Lingjun felt much better. He climbed down the tree and continued to climb up the mountain.

Not long after, Chu Lingjun encountered his first enemy of the day.

It was a giant spider that was crouching on the rock. Its body was close to three meters long, and the tips of its eight long furry legs sparkled. It gently scratched the rock and left a deep scratch.

This giant spider's cultivation was at the Late Stage Level One.

The advantage of having a higher realm was obvious. Chu Lingjun struck five lightning bolts before the giant spider trembled and fell to the ground.

Chu Lingjun glanced at his watch.

[First place, Zhou Anqi, 245 points.]

[Second place, Chu Lingjun, 242 points.]

[Third place, Luo Chaoxiang, 241 points.]

[Fourth place…]

[Tenth place, Chen Zhiqi, 193 points.]

[Eleventh, Ding Peng, 191 points.]

Chu Lingjun nodded in approval. It seemed that Chen Zhiqi and Ding Peng managed to catch up.

They continued to climb up the mountain cautiously. Late Stage Level One exotic beasts appeared from time to time, but they were all killed by Chu Lingjun's domineering lightning.

As he approached the peak, the towering trees around them started to decrease, leaving only exposed rocks and barren vegetation.

"Hmm?"

Just as he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Chu Lingjun's Electric Field discovered something. He was stunned for a moment before he quickly rushed up.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Chu Lingjun saw a few familiar faces. They were Zhou Anqi, Ding Peng, Duan Feng, and Chen Zhiqi.

In the middle of the mountain was an arena.

In the middle of the arena was a youth with a tall and sturdy body. The youth had bulging muscles and looked like a bear in human form. That bear looking human was fighting an ugly exotic beast.

This young man was the genius of Year One Class One, Luo Chaoxiang.

On the other side, the ugly-looking exotic beast was being tied to an iron chain engraved with majestic spirit patterns. The other end of the iron chain was tied to the floor in the middle of the arena.

The length of the spirit rune chain was just right, allowing the exotic beast's range of activity to be within the range of the arena. If it wanted to go further, it would be immediately held back.

That was why the exotic beast didn't come down from the mountain peak after roaring for half a day last night. It wasn't that it didn't want to, but it couldn't!

This exotic beast had a very strange appearance. It has a sheep's body with grayish-black metal scales on its body. It had a strong physique, and its muscles were filled with a sense of power.

Its claws were long and sharp, almost like blades.

It was obvious that this exotic beast was not to be trifled with.

However, the strange thing was that there was a human face on the head of this beast!

His face was pale and swollen, as if he had been trapped in a maze for a long time and was numb to the fear. It was so pale that it was terrifying to look at for a long time!

His eyes were blank and lifeless, and he could not feel the other party's gaze.

In the mouth of this human face, there were two long fangs protruding from the lips. The tips of the teeth were shining, like a vampire.

This exotic beast roared at the sky. It clearly had a strong and burly body that was filled with power, but the roar it made was the sound of a baby. The contrast was especially huge and surprising!

"Lingjun? Took you long enough!" Hearing the commotion, everyone on the mountain peak looked over. Ding Peng opened his mouth and laughed loudly.

"Your ranking can't be fake, right?" Chen Zhiqi also walked over and said with a smile.

When Chen Zhiqi spoke, blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword in her right hand.

"I overslept."

Chu Lingjun smiled. Then, he looked at the battle in the arena in confusion and asked, "What kind of mutated beast is this? Is someone controlling it behind its back?"

"I don't know. This is the first time I've seen such a strange beast." Chen Zhiqi laughed.

Chu Lingjun looked at Duan Feng and Zhou Anqi, who were not far away. The two of them saw Chu Lingjun nodding at him. However, judging from their furrowed brows and confused expressions, it was obvious that they did not know what kind of exotic beast it was either.

On the battlefield, Luo Chaoxiang and the exotic beast continued their battle.

Luo Chaoxiang's vitality boiled and flowed vigorously. Chu Lingjun sensed that Luo Chaoxiang's vitality was much higher than his!

Luo Chaoxiang had already broken through to become a Rank One martial artist!

Once one's vitality breaks through 66 points, one would become a Rank One martial artist.

This was normal. When Luo Chaoxiang started school, he had an astonishing 50 points of vitality. That was because Luo Chaoxiang's family background was rich.

Ding Peng, Chen Zhiqi, and the others knew how to spend money on helpful items, so naturally, Luo Chaoxiang would do the same.

The exotic beast in front of Luo Chaoxiang was also a Late Stage Level One beast.

They were clearly in the same realm, however, Luo Chaoxiang was being completely suppressed by the other party!

The other party was stronger than Luo Chaoxiang in every aspect. Luo Chaoxiang only managed to hold on for a while before his back was scratched by the other party's claw!

Instantly, Luo Chaoxiang's back turned into a bloody mess!

Luo Chaoxiang hurriedly left the arena with a miserable scream. The beast roared and was about to chase after Luo Chaoxiang.

However, as soon as it ran out of the arena, it was held back by the spirit rune chains on its body and couldn't take even half a step forward!

The goat-faced beast roared furiously, letting out a series of indignant cries.
