Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 67 Leaving
"laugh!"

Ji Fuyou drew his sword.

Pei Zhaoye's body collapsed to the ground.

His gaze quickly turned into the depths of the mist, and his mental power was fully activated.

Even though no sound was made, at this moment...

A small team, which was less than 300 meters away, suddenly felt as if some kind of prehistoric beast was lurking deep in the fog.

In particular, the leader of the group, a senior mental ability user, felt a tremor originating from the level of his mind spreading rapidly.

His innate awareness of the crisis stimulated every cell in his body, repeatedly reminding him of danger!
Ahead...

There is a huge danger!
leave!

The farther away, the better!

Without hesitation, the senior mental ability user turned around and led his team to retreat at full speed.

……

However, even with Ji Fuyou's all-out unleashing of his spiritual power, pushing his perception and detection range to its limit, it still only covered a radius of less than 100 meters.

However, when Tang Yue and Tang Rong sensed the danger, they immediately ran at full speed, and now they were more than a hundred meters deeper into the fog.

Even when he activated his spiritual power, he still couldn't sense any trace of the two.

"The fog can not only interfere with the operation of many instruments and incite evil thoughts in people's hearts, but it can also block the transmission of sound and make the surroundings silent..."

So, the two who escaped...

Shouldn't they have heard Pei Zhaoye call out his name in shock and anger?

Furthermore, judging from their dispute with Pei Zhaoye, the two sides seem to be on completely different sides...

Ji Fuyou looked at the churning mist and ultimately did not pursue it.

On one hand, he couldn't catch up with the advanced-level martial artist.

On the other hand, no one knows what kind of danger might be hidden in the fog!

Ji Fuyou immediately calmed down.

"Go back and take the exam for the associate senior mental health professional title in Zhongzhou."

Once a person with mental abilities reaches the deputy senior level, the Public Security Bureau has no right to intervene; only the Central Bureau of Investigation is qualified to handle such matters. The law already stipulates what happens in the fog, and personal safety is the top priority. Everyone can take the highest level of emergency evacuation measures when encountering danger.

That is, the right to unlimited self-defense.

After obtaining this certificate, further investigations will be conducted into Tang Yue and Tang Rong.

Pei Zhaoye was a problem for him that he couldn't solve, so he decided to end it at its source.

If the situation develops in the worst possible direction...

Will others address the root cause of his problem in the same way he did?

This is something we must be wary of!

While he was pondering, Ji Fuyou's gaze had already fallen on Pei Zhaoye's hand.

Piaget New Century Tactical Watch.

It seems to be the latest model.

Price: 38.8 million.

Captain Pei has been living lavishly lately.

In addition, the sword in his hand is somewhat different from the battle sword he is currently using.

The sword in his hand was a greatsword.

The sword is 85 mm wide and 1485 mm long.

Pei Zhaoye's sword, on the other hand, was relatively slender.

It is only 70 millimeters wide, but 1400 millimeters long. It seems to be made of special materials, making it quite lightweight.

Ji Fuyou swung the sword for a moment and clearly felt that he could draw it faster than with the previous one.

"I didn't see him using this sword before at Fulong Mountain. It seems to be a gift from a merchant recently."

Ji Fuyou sheathed his sword.

Then, he seemed to discover something; he found a jade box on his person.

A jade box identical to the one carried by the Fang Squad, containing the Spirit Source Crystal.

Ji Fuyou opened it, and inside...

It was a Source Crystal.

A blue, prismatic source crystal!
"This is……"

Ji Fuyou recalled the conversations he had "heard" from the two groups and quickly realized what was going on.

"Did Tang Yue, Tang Rong, and Pei Zhaoye argue because of this Source Crystal?"

The benefits are exciting.

Moreover, there's the blue physique source crystal worth 1 million.

Such a valuable item should theoretically be used immediately. Pei Zhaoye's decision not to give it to Tang Yue demonstrates his distrust of Tang Yue.

However, because he was in the Yellow Dragon Cave, he needed to rely on the fighting strength of Tang Yue and the others, and he couldn't immediately reward him to his trusted confidant Zhou Yan, so he hadn't used him yet. Now...

It became his spoils of war.

"Blue Physique Source Crystal..."

Ji Fuyou did not hesitate for a moment.

He quickly grasped the source crystal, activated his spirit, and guided the energy within it out.

The next moment, a surge of heat, several times stronger than the previous white source crystal, rolled in.

Ji Fuyou felt as if his whole body was being scalded.

However, with his powerful mental strength, he was able to withstand this intense heat and even consciously guide this energy to subtly enhance himself.

After a while, the heat gradually dissipated.

Ji Fuyou clearly felt that his physical strength had increased significantly compared to before.

Perceive it carefully...

14.2!

Because it was the first time using the blue physique source crystal, the effect was surprisingly good, and the physique value increased by as much as 1.9!

"To become an intermediate martial artist, you either need a physique of 10 or higher and have mastered internal energy, or a physique of 15 points... My stats are almost at the intermediate martial artist standard."

Of course, in a real fight, even ten intermediate-level martial artists wouldn't be a match for him.

Without even needing mental techniques or stimulating his mental power, the passive effect of his mental scale—enhanced perception—allows him to directly fight against martial artists with a physique of 15 who have obtained a secondary advanced rank by comprehending the Transformation of Internal Energy.

He didn't even spare Pei Zhaoye's sword, tactical watch, or the box containing the source crystals.

The remaining few, such as Zhou Yan and Huang Que, were no exception to him.

Zhou Yan, a high-level martial artist, was penniless and didn't even bring a tactical watch.

On the contrary, Huang Que had two pieces of jewelry on him, in addition to his tactical watch.

Each item is probably worth at least a million.

This surprised him quite a bit.

After all, coming to Huanglong Cave to explore and fight strange beasts is not like camping and picnicking, so jewelry and ornaments are just a burden.

Taking this kind of thing on an adventure...

Ji Fuyou could not understand.

But they chose to take it with them.

They took all the jewelry, a crossbow, and a gun.

After packing everything up, he quickly found the package hidden not far away. After checking that the two hundred million yuan worth of treasures inside were still there, he quickly gathered everything and hurried towards the second floor of Huanglong Cave.

By this time, more and more hunting teams had discovered the second level of Huanglong Cave and entered it.

Along his journey, Ji Fuyou encountered three groups of people, each numbering between three and six.

Fortunately, in the fog, teams seem to avoid contact with each other as much as possible to prevent misjudgments that could lead to conflicts and bloodshed.

Therefore, when he sensed these teams, and they sensed him in return, both sides tacitly avoided each other.

Through the fog, where visibility was only 5 to 10 meters, no one knew anyone else.

However, when Ji Fuyou arrived at the location of the mutated blood bat's corpse, he found that there were already people there.

A six-person team is dissecting the carcass of the monster.

These six people had a military air about them.

As Ji Fuyou approached, one of them immediately sensed something, cupped his hands, and called out loudly in Ji Fuyou's direction, "May I ask which professor you are? I am Yang Kaitai, Professor Hong's student. Greetings."

Ji Fuyou glanced silently at the six people.

Each and every one of them is a master.

And it seems to have an extraordinary origin...

Although Ji Fuyou was reluctant to part with the mutated blood bat's corpse, which was worth millions, he couldn't prevent these people from harboring malicious intentions and plotting to steal the two spiritual source crystals worth over a hundred million from his body...

He silently retreated into the depths of the mist.

And those six people...

Seemingly reluctant to part with the million-dollar mutated blood bat corpse, it did not follow.

"Forget it, you have to give up something to gain something. This trip to the second level of Huanglong Cave has already been very fruitful. Unrestrained greed will only lead to one's demise."

There is no such thing as eternal invincibility in this world.

There is no such thing as being invincible.

No one can have all the advantages.

With this rational approach, Ji Fuyou safely retreated to the entrance of the underground river and successfully emerged from Huanglong Cave.
