Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 97 Competition
"It's Xiao Hanxue!"

Su Zhen immediately recognized the woman's identity.

Xiao Hanxue!
Ji Fuyou had heard this name from Fang Qiyun more than once.

If anyone in Chuzhou is destined to rise to the top of the Heavenly Ranking and become one of the 108, it would undoubtedly be Xiao Hanxue.

"This is Xiao Hanxue's team. She actually came to Blue Moon City to provide support."

The young master of the Su family was somewhat surprised.

As they approached Xiao Hanxue's group, the woman at the head of the group, dressed as a woman in her thirties, also looked in their direction with surprise.

"Which team are you here? Yang Kaitai? Xue Huanian?"

“Ms. Liu Yiren, I am Su Zhen, the captain of the White Sand Hunting Team. We are passing through here to reinforce Blue Moon City.”

Su Zhen quickly introduced herself to avoid any misunderstanding.

"The Su family of Starlight?"

Liu Yiren was somewhat surprised.

Su Zhen knew what Ms. Liu was worried about, so he quickly added, "We were fortunate to have Mr. Ji Fuyou accompany us. We are currently heading to our defense zone to eliminate the alien beasts, so we won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."

"Please."

Liu Yiren responded.

In the fog, even if someone identifies themselves, it doesn't mean they are entirely trustworthy.

In this fog, not only are all people obscured, but negative emotions are also easily amplified by the mysterious power contained within the fog. Therefore, even when some well-regarded teams meet, they remain on guard and retreat separately, avoiding each other's presence.

Su Zhen, Ji Fuyou, and the others quickly retreated.

On the other side, Xiao Hanxue, with her towering physique of 24.2 meters and a battle axe made of some unknown material, ultimately defeated all three skeleton monsters, shattering their soul flames.

Only after the three skeleton monsters were completely reduced to ashes did she return to the party.

"Was there someone there just now?"

"Su Zhen from the Starlight Su family, but... Su Zhen isn't the point, the point is that Ji Fuyou..."

"For Aunt Liu to value him so much... he must be quite good?"

"The spirit value should exceed 21 seconds."

As Liu Yiren spoke, she asked with some surprise, "When did such a person emerge in Xingguang City?"

A person next to her said, "I've seen Ji Fuyou's information. He's a deputy senior mental ability user. I just didn't expect that he was rated as a deputy senior based on his mental ability value! Moreover, I remember that he and Fang Qiyun should have a good relationship."

"And Fang Qiyun?"

Xiao Hanxue freed herself from "absolute rationality": "Then let's get to know each other sometime."

……

On the other side, Ji Fuyou, Su Zhen, and their group of six advanced rapidly.

Thanks to Ji Fuyou's spiritual perception, they were able to detect any strange beasts that appeared immediately, make arrangements, and carry out an encirclement and kill them.

After traveling some distance, they killed no fewer than twenty strange beasts and monsters.

One white-bodied Origin Crystal was obtained.

As the person who made the greatest contribution, the source crystal naturally fell to Ji Fuyou.

Ji Fuyou was not modest either.

The two sides quickly arrived at the point where they needed to disperse.

Although Su Zhen was somewhat reluctant, she understood that Ji Fuyou's main purpose in coming here was to save people.

He immediately said, "We will build defenses in the defense zone. If the situation on your side becomes unfavorable, bring your people over to defend together. If necessary, we will break out together."

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou responded, waved to him, and quickly disappeared into the mist.

Seeing Ji Fuyou leave, Yan Feng couldn't help but say, "Young Master Su, this performance is crucial. The efficiency with which the Spiritual Ability Association handles the invasion of Blue Moon City will directly determine the level of support those above us will receive."

He advised, "If we can keep Ji Fuyou here and use his strength to wipe out all the alien beasts in our defense zone, we can deliver a perfect report card and surely surpass Zhang Yongsheng with this achievement..."

"I know."

Su Zhen looked in the direction where Ji Fuyou had disappeared: "I know this better than you do! So, I can't say these things!"

He said in a deep voice, "If this defense mission weren't related to the higher-ups' evaluation of us, I would even have liked to take you and Ji Fuyou with me."

"You mean..."

"The president of the municipal association of spiritually gifted individuals, and a future favor with a senior-level official... tell me, which is more important?"

Yanfeng was speechless.

This……

Need to consider?
"Unfortunately, Mr. Ji did not speak to us."

Su Zhen said with a sigh, "I'm even a little envious of the person who could persuade Ji Fuyou... We were ultimately a step too late."

So, it's too late to take another gamble...

"Let's go and get on with our own business."

Su Zhen said, "Since he was moved by what I said before, as long as we conscientiously fulfill our responsibilities in guarding our territory and forge a deep friendship, I dare not say that the position of president of the Starlight City Spiritual Ability Association is basically secure."

Yan Feng, having heard this, didn't know what else to say.

Ji Fuyou is now on the rise, and even his own young master is at best qualified to cooperate with him.

Get the other party to put aside their own affairs and help them...

That was indeed an overstepping of authority.

……

On the other side, when Ji Fuyou was left alone, his speed increased significantly.

With saving lives as his primary concern, he wouldn't think about eliminating these monsters when he encounters them.

He would only intervene to help if he happened to see a strange beast or monster about to commit a crime.

Otherwise, avoid it if you can.

Relying on his heightened senses thanks to his mental stat, Ji Fuyou arrived at a garden hotel about half an hour later.

Although this garden hotel is not in the city center, it is a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, with mountains and water.

It consists of three high-rise buildings of more than ten stories each and more than a dozen courtyard villas, covering an area of ​​more than 150,000 square meters including the garden.

At this moment, the entire hotel was pitch black, without any sound or light.

but……

When the seasonal fuzzy spirit swept across the area, it discovered three dormant giant scorpions in the garden area, as well as some corpses nearby.

Giant scorpion!

Three heads! In terms of strength, these beasts are not much weaker than the skeleton monsters.

The skeleton monster has a fear-inducing ability, and the giant scorpion can also spray venom.

The skeleton monster has extremely high resistance to arcane magic, and the giant scorpion is quite fast.

Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages.

Xiao Hanxue was able to kill the three-headed skeleton monster single-handedly.

He faced off against a three-headed giant scorpion...

Ji Fuyou did not avoid it anymore.

He carried a pistol on his back and held a sword in his hand, approaching silently.

When the distance between them was reduced to less than twenty meters, and all the limbs of the giant scorpion were fully visible in his mental perception, he took off his short gun.

He gripped the gun, slightly extended his body, locked his mind, and unleashed his power.

next moment……

He suddenly threw the short gun.

Almost at the same time he threw the short gun, he unleashed a burst of power from his feet, and the reaction force propelled him like an arrow released from a bow, instantly covering a distance of more than ten meters between them.

"laugh!"

The first giant scorpion was pierced through the brain ganglion complex by a short gun.

Just as the second giant scorpion reacted, he had already become one with his sword, charging at full speed and crashing into the terrifying beast, which was no less large than a brown bear.

"Oh!"

As the two collided with a dull thud, the 1.5-meter-long sword pierced through the giant scorpion's vitals.

Without pausing for a moment, he leaped into the air once more.

As the sword was pulled from the giant scorpion's body, a phantom image of a demon god also appeared in the spiritual world.

Just as the third giant scorpion raised its pincers, intending to tear Ji Fuyou apart, the Soul-Suppressing Curse was activated!
The mental impact formed by the 21.3-second mental energy instantly struck the giant scorpion as if struck by lightning, its body almost stiffening on the spot.

Ji Fuyou, wielding a sharp sword, flew over without the slightest hesitation and thrust the sword out again, piercing through the midline of the giant scorpion's head, thorax, and carapace!

After hitting a vital spot, he even swung his sword upwards fiercely, tearing a huge gash in the giant scorpion's body.

As the blood, containing toxins, gushed down, he flew over, his right foot, which had just landed, already exerted force again, his body taut, directly passing the giant scorpion whose body had been torn apart, and then landing on the ground five or six meters behind the giant scorpion. He then slid for another five or six meters with the momentum of his charge!
As he slid, he twisted his body forcefully, holding a sword in one hand and a short gun behind his back with the other.

His mental energy was locked on the three-headed giant scorpion that was struck by lightning in less than two seconds!
finally……

No accidents.

Crouching on the ground, Ji Fuyou, poised to strike, stared at the three-headed giant scorpion...

Soon, the three giant scorpions convulsed, struggled, and hissed in pain, and died one by one without any surprise.

From the moment Ji Fuyou lurked close and launched his attack until he annihilated the three giant scorpions with overwhelming force, it took less than a breath.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

This record is comparable to the scene when he first encountered the giant scorpion, where he was even in mortal danger...

The improvement is far more than just a little bit.

"I can take on three opponents at once."

Ji Fuyou said in a low voice.

Although……

It's not a skeleton monster.

But this subtle competition is enough to prove that in some aspects he is no less than Xiao Hanxue, the so-called favored daughter of heaven who is destined to be on the Heavenly Ranking.

He stepped forward and put away the short gun that had pierced the body of the first giant scorpion.

They then began examining the corpse of the three giant scorpions...

Okay, unless you've chosen them beforehand, it's normal to not get a single Source Crystal from ten or eight monsters.

After killing the giant scorpion, Ji Fuyou strode quickly toward Villa No. 11.

Although he killed the giant scorpion very quickly, he inevitably made noise in the process.

Such a noise would not normally be a problem, but in the otherwise completely silent Garden Hotel, it was extremely jarring.

At least, in Ji Fuyou's perception, there were simultaneous disturbances coming from several other areas of the Garden Hotel.

source……

There are at least five or six places.

Ji Fuyou ignored them and instantly arrived at Villa No. 11. He used his mental powers to investigate and soon found six figures blocking the door with a lot of furniture in a room.

Six people?

Ji Fuyou frowned.

Aren't they Jiang Yubai's parents? How come there are suddenly six?

One of the aura fluctuations felt somewhat familiar.

After a moment's thought, he quickly realized who it was.

Jiang Xingyu.

With things having come to this point, Ji Fuyou didn't have time to think further. He went straight to the window and whispered, "I am Ji Fuyou. I have been entrusted by Jiang Yubai to come and meet you."

"Mr. Ji?"

Jiang Yubai's father, Jiang Hailiu, clearly knew him, his suppressed voice filled with both surprise and joy.

"Quickly, quickly open the door, move the things blocking the way, and invite Mr. Ji in. Once Mr. Ji arrives, we will be safe."

"No need to open the door. Hide there and wait. The fog usually lasts for three to six hours. Three or four hours have already passed. Normally, the fog should dissipate in another two or three hours."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Two or three hours...

"What if... the fog hasn't cleared in two or three hours?"

A slightly trembling voice asked.

Not disbanding?

Ji Fuyou thought of the lingering mist over Huanglong Cave.

Blue Moon City...

This possibility is more likely.

By the time……

The only option is to break through.
