Chapter 2017
After the incident involving the God-Slaying Martial Hall, Xu Jingming kept a very low profile.
He devoted most of his energy to hunting monsters.
Even if you happen to encounter other teams.
They simply rely on the extreme speed of the Heavenly Thunder Wings to kill off the opponent's monster prey and run away, never lingering.
And so, relying on the enormous number of demonic beasts on Blood Refining Star, the source points accumulated on his system panel soared!
His strength also increased like a rocket!
At the end of the first month, Xu Jingming reached the seventh level of the Star Realm, and his T4-level combat skill "Thunder Abyss Technique" was maxed out.
In the second month, Xu Jingming's level reached the eighth stage of the Star Realm, and his Law of Destruction and Law of Lightning reached the eighth level!
In the third month, his level was raised to the ninth rank of the Star Realm, and the Lightning Law was perfected!
In the fourth month, the Law of Destruction was perfected!
In the fifth month, the Purple Nightmare Demon Codex was upgraded to the fourth level!
In the sixth month, his spear intent level improved from beginner to intermediate!
After that, Xu Jingming's growth rate slowed down.
They began accumulating source points in preparation for breaking through to the Origin Realm after reaching the Law Realm.
During this period, relying on the extreme speed of his Thunder Wings, he stole countless monsters from other teams.
As a result, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Godslayer Martial Hall, and the Eternal Star Alliance all became aware of Xu Jingming's existence.
And someone gave him a nickname: 'The King of Bargains'.
The meaning is very clear: Xu Jingming deliberately chooses to rush out when others are exhausted after a major battle.
They delivered the final blow to the heavily injured monster with incredible speed, then fled the scene.
This drew a lot of criticism, with many calling him shameless, but because Xu Jingming's flight speed was too fast, they were powerless to do anything about it.
Thus, the nickname "King of Bargains" quickly spread among various factions.
......
Blood Refining Star is a vast wasteland covered by dark red rock layers.
Four figures were sitting cross-legged on the wasteland, resting; they were a group of two women and two men.
The woman in the lead wore an ice-blue battle suit, her temperament was as cold as ice, and her appearance was stunning.
It was Luo Li and her team members.
At this moment, one of them was petite and had her hair in pigtails.
A girl named 'Mia' is browsing the smart arm guards.
During the Monster Hunting Competition, no one can enter the virtual universe.
So during my breaks, I can only play with the smart arm protector.
Fortunately, the smart arm guard has a dedicated communication channel for the Monster Hunting Competition.
Some messages may circulate within the channel; these are not officially released.
These are mostly collections of private conversations, jokes, and even complaints among the participants, which often reflect some dynamics and trends during the competition.
This can also be considered a way for the players to relax after the intense hunting of monsters.
Just then, Mia, who was browsing the messages, suddenly burst out laughing. Her clear laughter was particularly distinct in the wasteland.
"Sister Luo, look at this!"
Mia looked up, her bright eyes curving into crescents.
He turned the projection of the smart arm guard toward Luo Li and spoke in a cheerful tone:
"Lord Ye Li's junior brother is really interesting. He actually managed to earn the title of 'King of Finding Bargains'! I wonder how many bargains he found so that people from all three factions would remember this name."
On the projected screen, anonymous or signed text messages scrolled by:
"That Xu Jingming from the Eternal Star Alliance is damn fast! We finally managed to whittle down that Star Rank 8 'Steel Armored Earth Dragon' to near death, and then a flash of lightning, and the final blow was gone! We didn't even see him!"
"Same here, our Cosmic Mercenary Alliance team has also suffered from this. They always strike when the toughest targets are almost finished, then they're gone in a flash, slippery as can be."
"Our Godslayer Martial Hall was not spared either. Although this person's tactics were not honorable, his grasp of timing and terrifying speed were indeed a headache."
"King of Bargains... This nickname is absolutely brilliant, so fitting it's outrageous."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Li's icy blue eyes flickered slightly.
