C273 The Competition for the Quota
C273 The Competition for the Quota
The white threads wrapped around the seven people's throats. The cold feeling penetrated deep into their bones.
They frantically stretched out their hands, wanting to pull apart the threads. But, they were horrified to discover that no matter how they tried, they were unable to touch the threads.
It was as if the thread was just an illusion in their hearts, unable to be touched at all.
Jia Houwei's aura changed, becoming very gentle. He gently stroked the thread wrapped around his fingers, as if he was caressing the smooth skin of the Lover's Silk.
"Dust Separating Arts, wrap around your finger and it will be soft!"
Jia Houwei suddenly clenched his fists. All the silk threads suddenly tightened!
"Puff!"
Blood splattered onto the ground. The seven martial artists had all died!
The human spies hidden in the surroundings quietly disappeared. Jia Houwei whispered to Wang Hao, "Boss, do you want to keep them?"
Wang Hao shook his head lightly, "No need. I think they are probably the other martial artists who came to participate in the Qilin Academy's test. We still don't know how to fight for the quota for the exam. It won't be easy to make too many enemies. Besides, with the strength that we have just displayed, I don't think they will easily provoke us. "
Jia Houwei stretched his muscles and bones. "It's a pity that I haven't had enough of it!"
Wang Hao smiled and asked, "Fatty, that killing move of yours just now was quite powerful!"
Jia Houwei chuckled. "When I broke through to the Heaven realm, I found out that I was able to control Dust Separation. It could become smaller, so small that it could easily pierce through a person's skin and flesh. Therefore, it's impossible for them to break the silk that is condensed from the dust. "
"It's a pity that this martial skill has been condensed for too long. Otherwise, you would have been able to easily deal with an enemy that is a few levels stronger."
Jia Houwei shrugged helplessly. "Consolidating a tiny dust particle requires half an incense stick of time. If I want to use this skill at any time, I'm afraid I'll need to increase my cultivation by a few more levels."
Wang Hao nodded. This move of Jia Houwei could already be compared to a few of his killing moves. If he could use it without any cost, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a Divine Skill.
"Boss, the demons are here."
Wang Hao's expression didn't change. After the battle with the warriors of the Floating Cloud Domain ended, he was observing the surrounding demons.
The one walking towards them was a werewolf. He was more than two meters tall and was walking upright, but his face was still that of a wolf.
He stopped in front of Wang Hao and Jia Houwei and sized them up.
Jia Houwei was slightly on guard, but Wang Hao's face was calm. He did not feel any hostility from the werewolf.
On the contrary, perhaps it was because Wang Hao had just released his dragon's might, the werewolf was deeply afraid of him.
The werewolf stuttered in his human language. "Are the two of you going to apply for the Qilin Academy?"
"Yes!"
The werewolf took out two bronze tokens and a map from his pocket and handed them to Wang Hao.
"These are the tokens given to you by the Qilin Academy. Each of you will collect ten tokens and head to the Eagle Hunting Platform of the Second Sky. Remember, there are only seven days left until the end of the competition."
"In seven days, whether you have collected the tokens or not, it will all be considered a failure."
After saying that, the werewolf left, as if he didn't want to stay by Wang Hao's side for another second.
"Token?"
After Jia Houwei took the token, he laughed and said, "If everyone who participated in the assessment has a token, then the eleven people we just killed..."
Jia Houwei's eyes lit up. He hastily ran to the corpses of the eleven people and took off all their Essence Ring.
Sure enough, after the Essence Ring was opened, Jia Houwei found eleven tokens.
"Boss, take it!"
Jia Houwei shoved a portion of the tokens into Wang Hao's hands. This way, Wang Hao had seven tokens, while Jia Houwei had six tokens.
Wang Hao opened the map. This map depicted the entire Second Heaven. What surprised Wang Hao was that the Second Heaven not only had plains, but also mountains, rainforests, deserts and swamps.
The eagle hunting platform that the werewolf talked about was at the peak of the mountain.
Because the Second Heaven was between the First Heaven and the Third Heaven, if Wang Hao and Jia Houwei wanted to reach the eagle hunting platform, they had to go forward or backward. They had to bypass at least two types of terrain in order to reach it.
On the map, besides the landform, there were four bright spots. One of them was where Wang Hao and Jia Houwei were!
Wang Hao frowned. He did not expect that his and Jia Houwei's location would be exposed.
"No, if the bright spots on the map show the locations of those who participated in the test, then why only me and Jia Houwei are marked?"
"Could it be related to the token in our hands?"
Thinking of this, Wang Hao threw one of the seven tokens to Jia Houwei.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Wang Hao frowned. The moment the token left his hand, he saw the bright spot on the map flicker.
"Fatty, throw away a token."
Jia Houwei didn't know what Wang Hao was trying to do, but he still carried out the order. He threw a token onto the ground.
"The symbol has disappeared!"
Wang Hao widened his eyes. The bright spot on the map that represented him and Jia Houwei had disappeared.
Jia Houwei came over and asked curiously, "Boss, did you find anything?"
Wang Hao said, "This map can show the location of those who have more than six tokens."
As he spoke, Wang Hao picked up the tokens on the ground and put them in the inventory with the other six tokens.
Reality proved that even if it was an item column that was completely different from the Essence Ring, it could not block the detection of the map.
Jia Houwei smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't everyone's gaze be fixed on us?"
Wang Hao laughed coldly and said, "So what? If those people had the ability to obtain so many tokens, they would have obtained them long ago. Furthermore, in the forest and swamp, this map mark can help us instead!"
Hearing Wang Hao's words, Jia Houwei immediately reacted, "Boss, you are right. If this mark is a flame, then... Those martial artists who found it are moths. Moths can extinguish flames. But flames can also burn them to ashes!"
Wang Hao opened the map again and chose a direction. This direction led to the Eagle Hunting Platform, and they had to pass through the forests and swamps.
After Wang Hao and Jia Houwei left, the space where they had just stood at a place that they did not want to, started to ripple.
After the ripples, an unusually thin man appeared. He looked in the direction where Wang Hao and Jia Houwei had left and licked his dry lips.
"One person has six tokens, and the other has seven tokens. No matter which one I kill, I can get ten tokens!"
After saying that, his figure slowly disappeared, and ripples appeared in the space once again.
After walking into the forest, Wang Hao and Jia Houwei didn't encounter any humans. Instead, they saw a lot of demons.
These demons seemed to have no interest in Hee Hsing. There was only coldness in their eyes.
This forest was very humid. There was a twenty meter wide river that ran across the forest, and the current was rapid.
Wang Hao and Jia Houwei followed the river upstream. Along the way, Wang Hao kept igniting his Golden Pupil, keeping an eye out for his surroundings.
"Boss, why isn't anyone looking for trouble with us? This is a little unexpected!"
Wang Hao smiled and said, "In the entire Second Heaven, those who can obtain more than six tokens can. If there were only four people, they would not dare to come and cause trouble for us. And those who have the ability to attack us want to gather all of us together. It'll take some time."
After the two of them walked for half a day, the sky gradually darkened. Jia Houwei found some firewood and lit a bonfire.
After catching two rabbits, Jia Houwei skillfully skinned them and roasted them.
In the dark environment, the Golden Pupil had lost its function. Wang Hao closed his eyes and slowly operated the Nine Dragon Spell.
"Boss, it's done grilling. Here!"
Wang Hao took the roasted rabbit from Jia Houwei and took a bite. He smiled and said, "Fatty, if you are our enemy, what will you do to take the token from us?"
Jia Houwei spat out a rabbit leg bone from his mouth. "If it was me, I would gather more people and launch a sneak attack in the dark."
Wang Hao looked up at the sky and sighed. "Yes, there is not even a trace of starlight tonight. It is indeed a good time to kill and rob!"
Jia Houwei was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Wang Hao's words. He grabbed a few bites of the rabbit meat and threw the skeleton into the fire.
"Pa!"
The rabbit bones made cracking sounds in the fire. In the quiet night, it was particularly ear-piercing.
Wang Hao's ears moved slightly. He could hear the sound of the grass moving not far away.
This sound was extremely weak, as if it was just the sound of a breeze brushing past. However, Wang Hao knew that this weak sound hid killing intent!
Jia Houwei's expression became serious. After Wang Hao's reminder, he also discovered the existence of the enemy.
"One... Two... Three..."
Jia Houwei sneered, "Only three people dare to cause trouble for us!"
" Attack! "
Wang Hao decided to take the initiative to attack first. He casually waved his palm and blew out the bonfire with his palm wind!
"Dark Shadow Form!"
A purple flame ignited on Wang Hao's body, but it did not emit any light. His aura disappeared, as if it had merged into the night.
"Eye of Darkness!"
After activating the Eye of Darkness, Wang Hao could clearly see the scene in the darkness. However, without the Golden Pupil's X-ray vision, he could not see what was hidden behind the trees.
However, he had already determined the position of the first enemy by listening to the sound.
Wang Hao did not immediately charge at him. Instead, he casually shot out a sword Qi. The sword Qi was bright and cut through the night sky.
"Boss, thank you!"
A ferocious smile appeared on Jia Houwei's face. Without any hesitation, he chased after the sword energy that Wang Hao shot out.
His speed had reached the limit. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up with the sword Qi!
The sword light illuminated a martial artist hidden in the grass. His face turned pale. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the rapidly spinning dust in Jia Houwei's hand.
"Dust Separating Arts, Dust Removing Arts!"
Jia Houwei's palm pressed heavily on the warrior's chest. The Dust Separating Arts instantly drilled a big hole in his chest!
However, Jia Houwei's expression became stiff. A terrifying sense of danger surged in his heart!
