Chapter 273 - "Kill Stealing"
Chapter 273: “Kill Stealing”
Chu Nan casually slapped a Storm Killer to death. He looked at the corpses of the surrounding Storm Killers and stopped chasing after the other Storm Killers who were fleeing. He opened his personal terminal and scanned them one by one.
He had encountered another group of Storm Killers just now and killed 16 in a row during the battle. After scanning them one by one, his points increased by a total of 160 points, and his ranking on the real-time points ranking directly jumped to 19th.
This was the first time he had entered the top 20!
Chu Nan suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at the top of the ranking. He discovered that the tenth place had already broken through to 2,000 points, which was less than 300 points ahead of his current 1,728 points.
Looking at the sky, it was already the afternoon of the last day. There was still half a day left until the test. If he continued to increase his points at the current speed, it should not be a problem for him to enter the top ten, but to become the first…
Chu Nan glanced at the first and was immediately stunned.
Why was it that the first place was no longer Feng Mingxi, but the original second place, Rudy Karl?
When did this change happen?
He had been focused on looking for the Storm Killers just now and had missed such an important change.
Glancing down, he discovered that not only had Feng Mingxi given up the first place, he had actually fallen to fourth in a row!
“What’s this guy doing?” Chu Nan was a little strange.
However, after thinking about it, this did not seem to be his fault.
Chu Nan carefully calculated the difference in points between him and the tenth place. He adjusted his breathing and deliberately waited for five minutes before staring at the points ranking to observe.
According to the change in points during this period of time, as long as he continued to hunt at his current speed, it would not be a problem for him to squeeze into the top ten before tonight.
He also noticed a strange phenomenon.
In these five minutes, everyone’s points at the top of the rankings had increased to varying degrees, but Feng Mingxi did not increase at all.
Although he still relied on the advantage he had accumulated to continue ranked fourth, the gap between him and the fifth place was already minimal. He would soon be caught up.
“Could it be that this guy is heavily injured and can’t continue?” Chu Nan guessed in confusion before turning off his personal terminal and ignoring these things.
He turned around and saw a group of black shadows passing through the sparse forest not far away. Chu Nan could not help but laugh.
His previous choice was indeed correct.
The place where the Storm Killer King could appear must be the most concentrated area for ferocious beasts like the Storm Killer.
He followed the trajectory of the Storm Killer King’s appearance. As expected, he often encountered groups of Storm Killers along the way, causing him to kill abnormally happily. His points also increased quickly.
Otherwise, it was impossible for his ranking to enter the top 20 so quickly.
With a tap of his foot, Chu Nan quickly rushed towards the Storm Killers.
He quickly passed through the forest and landed beside the group of Storm Killers.
As soon as they landed, the group of Storm Killers immediately became alert and assumed a vigilant posture.
Chu Nan chuckled and was about to go forward to harvest when the leaves in the forest on the right suddenly rustled. Five figures darted out and landed on the other side of the Storm Killers.
He and the group of people looked at each other and were stunned.
One of the young men who looked slightly older than Chu Nan frowned and waved his hand.
“Hey, go away. We’ve already booked this place.”
Chu Nan was immediately furious.
“What do you mean by booked?”
“What? You don’t understand human language?” The young man sneered and raised his eyebrows, “What we mean is that you don’t have a share in these Storm Killers. Hurry up and get lost. Don’t get in the way here.”
Chu Nan was slightly angry.
Previously, when he happened to encounter other examinees, he had heard of this “kill stealing” behavior. He did not expect that he would actually encounter it at the most critical moment of the last afternoon.
“What if I don’t get lost?” Chu Nan sneered. His body swayed and he slapped the side of a Storm Killer’s stomach.
This Storm Killer let out an extremely weak low roar. Its body fell to the ground weakly, and blood continuously spat out from its mouth. It was motionless, and it was obvious that it was dead.
The three men and two women were shocked.
Not only was Chu Nan’s speed abnormally fast, although this palm strike seemed to be silent, it could kill a Storm Killer with a single palm strike. It could be seen that his palm force was extraordinary.
The young man who had spoken earlier glanced at Chu Nan in surprise. He suddenly pointed at him and exclaimed, “I remember now. You’re Chu Nan!”
Chu Nan frowned slightly and thought to himself that there was indeed no benefit in becoming famous. He was recognized so easily.
“I’m Chu Nan. What? Do you still want to continue snatching this group of Storm Killers that I discovered first?”
The young man was stunned for a moment before sneering.
“So what if you’re Chu Nan? You’re only an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. Do you still dare to be arrogant in front of us? Let me tell you, the weakest among the five of us is also a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. If you’re sensible, move aside quickly. If not… don’t blame us for being ruthless!”
Chu Nan glanced at the other two men and two women who did not say anything. When he saw that they did not comment on the young man’s words, he could not help but sneer again. He ignored them and opened his personal terminal to scan the Storm Killer that he had slapped to death.
“How dare you!”
Seeing Chu Nan’s actions, the young man roared. He bent his leg and jumped over before punching him.
Chu Nan was slightly stunned.
The other party actually attacked without a word?
This was too domineering!
He was furious. He looked at the trajectory of that person in the air, took a step forward, and threw a punch at that person’s lower abdomen.
The angle of this punch was tricky and its speed was abnormally fast, but it was a fatal attack.
That person exclaimed softly. Clearly, he was a little surprised that Chu Nan’s counterattack was so sharp, but he was not flustered. Instead, he raised his left hand and planned to block Chu Nan’s attack. The attack on his right fist still did not stop.
Chu Nan sneered and the Internal Breath on his fist surged. The speed of his fist suddenly increased again. Although that person raised his hand to block his lower abdomen, he was struck by Chu Nan’s punch. The huge force heavily struck his lower abdomen with his arm.
Bang!
Although that person had time to circulate his Internal Breath to block, he was unable to resolve the terrifying force of Chu Nan’s punch. After being struck by this punch, his entire body was sent flying at a speed several times faster than when he came. He directly collided with the tree trunk behind him and fell to the ground with a bang, unable to get up for a long time.
The expressions of the other two men and women immediately changed. One of the girls cried out in surprise and prepared to charge at Chu Nan, but she was stopped by another boy.
“You’re not his match.” The boy shook his head at the girl and turned to look at Chu Nan with a slightly surprised expression, “You’re indeed as the rumors say. You clearly have true strength that exceeds your level. Originally, I was unwilling to be called a bully, but since you injured my companion, I have to attack.”
Chu Nan sneered in his mind.
It was clearly his companion who spoke rudely and directly attacked, but in his words, it seemed like Chu Nan had taken the initiative to cause trouble.
If Chu Nan was weak, the person lying on the ground would definitely be him.
“Alright, cut the crap. Don’t you just want to snatch this group of Storm Killers? Attack.”
The boy nodded slightly and assumed a posture.
“My name is Rudy Karl. Please enlighten me.”
Chu Nan was stunned.
Rudy Karl? Wasn’t he the guy ranked first now?
