Chapter 272 - 169: Press Her Down Hard, Invasion of Purgatory
When the Thunderflame Beheamoth, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, and the Single-horned Tiger Whale teamed up to form a three-beast robbing squad.
The next day, Jack Clark got up early and went to the Logistics Department to exchange for four more anti-gravity disks, each embedded with an energy crystal fragment worth fifteen points.
In addition to the two extra energy crystal fragments he had exchanged as backup, Jack Clark spent another 49 contribution points after the discount.
As a result, he only had 34 contribution points left.
This time he went into the mountains, regardless of whether he found the potential resources, Jack Clark planned to kill more Mutated Beasts. Under such circumstances, he naturally had to prepare more anti-gravity disks.
Otherwise, even if his basic arm strength had exceeded 25 tons, he didn’t know how long it would take to drag the corpses of the prey weighing over a hundred tons back.
In Jack Clark’s plan, he intended to accumulate enough contributions within two trips into the mountains.
He would then exchange for the sixth level resources, break through the Fifth Layer Heaven in one breath, and condense the domineering body.
By then, he was confident that he could easily kill even a Level 6 Mutant Beast, then go even deeper into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to obtain precious resources and quickly improve like a snowball.
However, just as Jack Clark’s figure flashed, rushing out of the base’s range at a speed of over a hundred meters per second, he encountered Justin Welan and the others who had just set off.
Or rather, they were waiting for him by the side of the road.
Upon seeing Jack Clark’s figure, Justin Welan waved to him. Jack Clark’s figure stopped and looked at the six of them curiously, “Didn’t you guys set off in the morning?”
Justin Welan grinned, “Yes, but last night you asked me to find out who’s spreading the news about you, so we’re waiting for you here.”
“Mr. Willard, do you know who it is?” Jack Clark was somewhat surprised, not expecting Justin’s information-gathering ability to be so fast.
“Jack, I’m sure you have no idea who it is.”
At this point, Justin Welan’s gaze was somewhat strange, and the others, including Freya Louise, had a look of barely contained amusement on their faces.
Jack could not help raising an eyebrow, “An acquaintance?”
Justin Welan still couldn’t help but laugh, “Exactly, not only is he an acquaintance, but he’s also a very close one – Howard Lee.”
“Howard Lee, why?” Jack was dumbfounded; he never thought that the person spreading the news of him killing the King Blood Unique Beast would be the rugged Howard Lee.
At this point, Freya Louise couldn’t help but chuckle while covering her mouth, “Jack, didn’t you check the news this morning?”
“…No, I put my mobile phone in the Sumeru Bracelet last night before going to bed.” Jack paused.
After obtaining the Sumeru Bracelet, he had developed the habit of storing his phone and other miscellaneous items in the storage space to prevent them from being damaged during battles.
“I knew it would be like this,” said the girl, smiling.
_”This morning, Howard Lee sent a mass message to everyone explaining why he spread the news of you killing the King Blood Unique Beast.”
“Why?”
“Because he wants to suppress Jane Aiken. He said that among the more than a thousand men in the new class of South Sky Martial Height, it’s embarrassing that they’ve been suppressed by a woman for half a year.”
“In order to overthrow ‘Jane Aiken’, he has been working hard at cultivation, but always fell a bit short and couldn’t compete.”
“This time, you defeated a Level 5 Late Stage Unique Beast in the Early Stage of Fourth Layer Heaven. It’s not an exaggeration to call you the number one person in the first year of South Sky Martial Height, enough to firmly suppress Jane Aiken,”
For a moment, Jack was speechless, “Is this guy really that chauvinistic? Is it necessary?”
“Of course it is!”
Marcus Lee grinned, “As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If I had your strength, I would’ve challenged Jane Aiken a long time ago to see who is the true king of the new generation of South Sky Martial Height.”
“I never thought you’d be so chuunibyou, Marcus, talking about the new generation’s king,” Justin Welan shook his head, “If you want to do it, you should be talking about being the king of the entire new generation of Eastern Summer.”
“You guys are getting off track. Forget it, don’t bring it up later, and don’t fuel the fire,” Jack reminded them.
“We’re all classmates, and there’s no need to fight for these empty titles. Even if we really want to fight, it should be for the first place on the Achievement List, which has more gold content.”
“That’s true. Before becoming the king of the new generation of Eastern Summer, Jack, you should strive for the first place on the Achievement List,” Justin Welan grinned.
Everyone else thought Jack was joking.
Although he had killed a Level 5 Late Stage king blood unique beast, the first on the Achievement List, Ethan Polis, was even stronger.
According to Justin Welan’s information, Ethan was not only at the peak of the Fifth Layer Heaven, on the verge of igniting the Flame of True Power, but also had many hunting achievements of Level 6 Mutant Beasts.
The most powerful of them was even comparable to the Late Level 6 Mutant Beast, very terrifying. At present, Ethan spent most of his time in the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, seeking a breakthrough.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s all set off.”
“Jack, be careful. The middle part of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is not like the periphery.”
“Jack Clark, pay more attention to safety.”
“Okay, don’t worry, I’ll be careful. You guys take care too, and protect Freya.”
“Hahaha… Don’t worry, Jack. After Teacher Clark helped me refine the Extraordinary Battle Shield yesterday, my Mysterious Martial Thick Earth Defense has become even stronger.”
With a wave, the entire group split into two directions and quickly left, disappearing into the vast mountain forest in the blink of an eye.
In the primeval forest, Jack Clark’s figure, clad in gorgeous black and red battle armor, flashed by at a speed that left only an afterimage, completely silent.
Only when his battle boots touched the ground would a slight vibration be emitted, and only after his figure disappeared would the wind sound of the rapidly stirred air resonate.
The improved Hidden Deity Method was even more effective at concealing his breath and traces. It wasn’t until Jack Clark disappeared that the startled Mutated Creatures reacted..
