Chapter 16
, Global Attention!
Under such extreme pressure, Jiang Ming was like a lone boat on a raging sea.
They seem to be at risk of being overwhelmed by the waves at any moment, yet they always manage to narrowly escape death.
His figure weaved through the beasts, his spear flashing out like a venomous snake.
It wears down little by little, consuming little by little.
The aim is not to kill, but to focus on hit-and-run tactics.
Time ticked by, minute by minute...
In the forty-seventh minute, the last mid-level beast general-level armored scorpion leader collapsed to the ground, its venomous hook drooping limply.
"47 minutes and 22 seconds, all 100 armored scorpions killed. Level 2, Grade B test passed!"
As the electronic sound rang out, Jiang Ming almost collapsed to one knee, his spear planted in the sand to support his body.
His combat uniform was soaked with blood and sweat, and he had more than ten wounds of varying sizes on his body.
Although his body was exhausted, Jiang Ming's eyes shone with excitement.
"My movement technique... is about to break through..."
During the intense battle just now, he clearly felt that his movement technique was undergoing a qualitative change.
That kind of extreme dodging, teetering on the edge of life and death, caused the bottleneck of the "Microscopic Level" to begin to loosen.
"Jiang Ming, you have completed the second level, stage B trial. Would you like to continue with the second level, stage C trial?"
The electronic sound provided the choice.
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
"continue!"
He knew that the C-level test would only be more difficult, but the feeling of being on the verge of a breakthrough made him unwilling to stop.
The desert scene has been reset again.
"Second level C test: Kill 150 Ironclad Scorpions within 60 minutes, including 30 mid-level Beast General-level Ironclad Scorpion Leaders and 3 high-level Beast General-level Ironclad Scorpion Kings."
The data announced by the electronic voice made Jiang Ming's heart sink.
150 beasts! 30 mid-level beast generals! And 3 high-level beast generals!
This difficulty is more than twice as high as a Level B test!
The distant desert began to churn, and a dark swarm of scorpions surged in like a tsunami.
At the very front stood three armored scorpion kings, each over five meters long and with dark gold carapaces, radiating a chilling aura of power.
High-level Beast General!
The moment the battle began, Jiang Ming was in dire straits.
The Three-Headed Ironclad Scorpion King's speed, strength, and defense far surpass those of a mid-level Beast General.
Less than a minute into the battle, Jiang Ming was grazed on the left shoulder by a poisoned hook, and his entire arm went numb instantly.
Their combat strength dropped several points instantly!
The situation suddenly became dire.
The toxins were eroding him along the wound.
Jiang Ming's consciousness began to fade...
In the moment of blurred consciousness, the silver lines between his eyebrows suddenly became hot!
A clear stream flowed from between his eyebrows, quickly washing away the numbness in his left shoulder; that was the effect of the Third Eye Mark.
Although it could not be truly used, it unleashed a certain potential at the critical moment of life and death.
Everything around us seemed to slow down tenfold.
The trajectory of the three-headed armored scorpion king's attack, the formation of thirty medium-sized beast generals surrounding it, and the potential ambush points that could emerge from the sand at any moment...
All the information flooded into my mind like a tidal wave, and was automatically combined, analyzed, and deduced.
It was as if it were some kind of premonition, allowing Jiang Ming to foresee the attack methods that each armored scorpion might take, as well as various future possibilities.
From this almost precognitive perspective, Jiang Ming's movements were fluid and natural.
Every step he took landed on the firmest grains of sand; every sidestep was precisely placed in the gap between two attacks; every shot he fired seized the moment when the monster's old strength was exhausted and its new strength had not yet arisen.
Your mastery of movement techniques has improved...
Your movement technique has broken through to the 'Perfect Level'.
......
laugh!laugh!laugh!
The perfect-level movement technique combined with the perfect-level spear technique resulted in a qualitative change.
laugh!laugh!laugh!
Blood continued to splatter, and the corpses of the armored scorpions fell one by one.
"21 minutes and 47 seconds, all 150 armored scorpions killed. Level 2, C-level test passed!"
The moment the electronic sound rang out, Jiang Ming, leaning on his spear, knelt on one knee, breathing heavily.
Although his virtual body was restored to full strength in an instant, Jiang Ming still felt extremely tired. He lay on his back on the ground, his thoughts starting to wander.
Until... a sudden prompt interrupted Jiang Ming's divergent thinking.

.......
Hongning Base City, top floor of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy headquarters.
In a quiet room with a rustic wooden structure, a man dressed in black sat cross-legged.
His face was ordinary, but his demeanor seemed to blend into the surrounding space, appearing both right in front of him and yet seemingly unattainable.
It is none other than Hong, the strongest being on Earth!
At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes and calmly looked at the virtual light screen that had appeared out of thin air in front of him.
The screen was rapidly scrolling through images of Jiang Ming's battle inside the Trial Tower, along with densely packed data analyses.
"19 years old, perfect level marksmanship, flawless level movement, power generation level 1.5x..."
"Of impeccable character, orphaned at a young age, with no complicated social connections. Calm and composed, with clear goals, and diligent in cultivation..."
"Biography and career history..."
Overall rating: SSS level. Recommendation: Allocate the highest level of resources to this area and focus on it.
.......
A ripple appeared in Hong's eyes.
"Not bad, he's a good prospect."
"Send this contract to Liu He."
"Yes."
A smart electronic voice emanated from the light screen in front of Hong's eyes.
.......
Dozens of figures, some real and some blurry, sat around a circular virtual table. They were representatives of the major families and conglomerates behind the HR Alliance.
"We must obtain all of Jiang Ming's social records, life preferences, and past experience! We must analyze his likes, his weaknesses, and the gaps in his interpersonal relationships!"
"A strategy to win him over must be devised immediately! Geniuses are human too; they need resources, enjoyment, and companionship! What does he like? Weapons? Money? Secret arts? Or... beautiful women? Analyze his weaknesses as quickly as possible!"
"We'll allocate 15% of our supercomputer's computing power to complete the analysis of Jiang Ming. We must get ahead of everyone else!"
.......
The underground world, a certain encrypted forum.
"A 100 billion reward is offered to uncover everything about Jiang Ming's past, every place he has been, and every person he has met."
"What a crazy bunch."
"If they're offering to give us money for free, why shouldn't we take it!"
"Ha ha ha ha......."
