28: Chapter 28: Enemy Nation Warriors Invade! A Shocking Sudden Change!

If these two cultivation manuals were put on the market, they would likely be worth more than a thousand gold.

Li Mo was currently in urgent need of a boost to his blood and qi, so this Xuanwu True Art was perfect for him to practice.

As for the Black Death Assassination Technique, that would naturally be handed over to Zheng Jiahao.

Seeing this, Xu Feng couldn't help but say sourly, "Fine, you two each get a cultivation manual, while I have nothing. Sigh."

Li Mo smiled calmly, "It's not like the manual disappears after you practice it. Besides, the Xuanwu True Art I have is just a copy. I'll make another copy later, and we can practice it together."

Li Mo certainly wasn't stingy when it came to such manuals.

After all, this wasn't a manual rewarded by the system, but one shared by The Military. Even if he didn't give it to Xu Feng to practice now, he would be able to obtain it in the future.

Xu Feng laughed heartily, "I was just joking. Actually, I'm already practicing an S-rank cultivation manual."

"You can't be greedy when it comes to practicing cultivation manuals. You have to master one to its limit before moving on to others; my second uncle taught me that."

Just as Xu Feng said, one shouldn't be greedy when practicing cultivation manuals.

A person's energy is limited; when using the Starry Sky Meditation Chart to enter a meditative state, one can only focus on comprehending one manual at a time.

Fortunately, Li Mo's Devouring Emperor Body didn't have this restriction. In fact, one could say that no matter how many manuals Li Mo practiced, he could handle them all with ease.

After all, this was an SSS-rank supreme talent.

Just then, Zheng Jiahao suddenly discovered that there was a QR code drawn on the back of both manuals.

There were some notes next to the QR codes, the gist of which was that as long as they scanned the QR codes with their points watches, they could obtain a large amount of points.

Thinking of this, Li Mo scanned the QR code of the Xuanwu True Art with his points watch.

The next moment, their points total increased by a full ten thousand points.

It was practically equivalent to doubling their score instantly!

All three of them were stunned. The total points from the Nether Wolf pack they had worked so hard to eliminate didn't even compare to this accidentally discovered manual!

"Holy shit! Old Zheng! Hurry up and scan yours too!" Xu Feng cursed, and Zheng Jiahao immediately scanned his points without delay.

In an instant, the Moyu Squad, which was first on the leaderboard, reached a total of thirty thousand points!

That was more than ten times the score of the second-place team!

The Moyu Squad's score had already been unreachable, and now that it had surged by another twenty thousand, the other squads immediately revealed expressions of despair.

"Holy shit! How are we supposed to catch up to that?"

"We've only just reached three thousand points! They're already at thirty thousand! What the hell is this?"

"How did it go up so much? What kind of exotic beast could be worth ten thousand points? Is it from the Blood Transformation Realm?"

It wasn't just the other participating squads; even the officers who had been observing, including General Qin Fei, were almost all dumbfounded.

"General Qin, I recall that in the Desolate Valley Mountains, there shouldn't be any exotic beasts that provide that many points, right?"

"The Moyu Squad just gained twenty thousand points all at once! Could they be cheating?"

"The exotic beast with the highest points in the Desolate Valley Mountains is only worth about four or five thousand! And such beasts are considered leaders among ordinary exotic beasts! It's impossible for them to appear in groups."

Facing the confusion of the officers, General Qin Fei understood everything.

After all, General Qin Fei was the only one who knew the distribution of resource points in the Desolate Valley Mountains.

In the entire Desolate Valley Mountains, there were only two S-rank resource points.

And among these only two S-rank resource points, only one could provide twenty thousand points; this was the pair of S-rank cultivation manuals hidden near the Nether Wolf lair!

General Qin Fei stepped forward and said, "Rest assured, the Moyu Squad would never cheat! I can guarantee it! Therefore, their results are authentic and valid!"

While explaining to everyone, General Qin Fei sighed inwardly, "Damn it, the Moyu Squad's luck is truly good! Their strength is also top-notch!"

Theoretically speaking, there were no squads that would dare to provoke the Nether Wolf lair; General Qin Fei had even prepared for the possibility that the resource point at the Nether Wolf lair wouldn't be discovered by anyone at all.

In his view, only if all the participating squads joined forces would it be possible to wipe out that Nether Wolf lair, which had a Wolf King.

"Is the difficulty of this competition perhaps a bit too low for the Moyu Squad?"

General Qin Fei sighed silently. Come to think of it, Li Mo's strength was simply too outstanding; in a sense, it was quite unfair to the other squads.

But there was no way to change the rules on the fly now. Zhang Ruxue even smiled and said, "General Qin, it seems that the champions will undoubtedly be our Huben Company's Moyu Squad."

General Qin Fei rolled his eyes and then sat down in silence.

The only chance for the other squads now was to find all the remaining resource points, which might give them a fighting chance against the Moyu Squad.

After all, the points currently held by the Moyu Squad were already equal to the sum of all the points of the thirty-one squads behind them.

At this moment, Li Mo, having obtained a full thirty thousand points, made a bold decision.

Their hunting for today could temporarily come to an end, and they would find a place to rest for a day.

One had to know that this was only the first day of the actual combat test, and this test was meant to last for three full days.

As the saying goes, the tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The Moyu Squad's total points were now leading by a massive margin, and they would inevitably be targeted by the thirty-plus squads behind them!

Although this test forbade internal fighting, there were ways to prevent other squads from gaining points, such as driving away exotic beasts near other squads, or killing the exotic beasts near other squads first, and so on.

Once the other squads united against them, the Moyu Squad would likely find no exotic beasts left to kill.

Since that was the case, they might as well rest for a day and let the other squads tire themselves out first.

Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng agreed with Li Mo's suggestion. They were already exhausted from dealing with the Nether Wolf pack today, so the three of them found a tree hollow to stay in and rested to build up their energy.

Just as Li Mo had expected, the other squads had initially prepared to join forces after seeing the Moyu Squad's high score. However, upon seeing that the Moyu Squad's points no longer increased, the squads that had been uniting quickly dispersed and began trying to chase down the Moyu Squad's score on their own.

The Moyu Squad had a wonderful day of sleep, but something unexpected by Li Mo occurred.

When Li Mo woke up the next day, he opened his points watch to check, intending to see how many points the teams behind them had caught up to, but he discovered that the names of ten out of the thirty-two squads had turned gray.

This was extremely shocking!

There were only two reasons for a team name to turn gray: either the squad had given up on the competition and fired a signal flare.

Or... the entire squad had been killed!

But theoretically speaking, it was impossible for so many squads to have given up on the competition starting from the first day. However, if ten squads had all been wiped out, that was simply too inconceivable!

After all, this was an assessment, a test. Even if it was as close to real combat as possible, The Military would not allow so many future potential assets to be killed outright.

Li Mo felt a chill run through his body. He thought of a horrifying possibility.

These people might not have been killed by exotic beasts, but by people!
