Other areas within the town.

The enormous commotion and the overwhelming, nauseating smell of blood had already spread throughout most of Monster Town.

Many aspiring warriors who were cautiously hunting lone monsters were alerted.

They climbed to higher ground or hid behind cover, looking in the direction from which the commotion was coming.

Then, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget!

Under the silvery moonlight, in the middle of the street in the distance, there was a terrifying mountain of corpses, twenty or thirty meters high, made up of countless monster corpses.

At the foot of the mountain of corpses, pools of blood had formed small ponds, and severed limbs and internal organs covered the ground, resembling a scene from hell.

At the very center of that mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, a black figure stood firm.

A long spear in his hand transformed into a swirling silver dragon. Any monster that approached, whether a swift shadow cat, a ferocious tiger or mastiff, or a powerful iron-haired wild boar, would perish in the flash of that silver light, becoming a new cornerstone of the mountain of corpses.

The person was eerily clean, standing three feet around him, a stark contrast to the surrounding carnage, like a pristine lotus platform amidst a raging sea of ​​blood.

"Was...was that a person?"

A prospective martial artist's teeth chattered, utterly horrified by the scene before him.

"How many did he kill? Three hundred? Five hundred? Or more?"

"Should we... still go over there? The monsters have all been lured away, but the rest of the place is safe..."

"Going to the past? Are you courting death? Just getting close to that area, the murderous aura alone makes your legs go weak!"

Besides, are you sure he won't just kill us like monsters?

The scene, like a sea of ​​blood and hell, made people subconsciously ignore the prohibition against the assessment.

Or rather, even knowing this, they still dared not approach Jiang Ming's location.

......

On the other side of the town, on the third floor of an abandoned shopping mall.

Luo Feng had just finished off a tiger mastiff lurking in the shadows with his Blood Shadow Battle Blade and was skillfully cutting off its left ear.

Suddenly, he paused, his keen mental power allowing him to sense the anomaly coming from afar earlier than most people.

The ground was trembling slightly.

It wasn't the commotion caused by one or two monsters running around, but a dense, chaotic tremor, like a surging tide of beasts.

At the same time, a strong, chilling stench of blood drifted in on the wind.

"What happened over there?"

Luo Feng remained vigilant, quickly gathered his spoils, and darted like a cat onto the damaged rooftop of the mall, looking in the direction from which the tremors and the stench of blood were coming.

It was still dark, but moonlight was shining down, and with the aid of his mental power, his eyesight far surpassed that of other martial artists.

That's when he finally saw the scene several blocks away that almost froze his blood.

A mountain of corpses made up of countless monster carcasses, and a figure in the moonlight.

"It's Brother Jiang!"

Luo Feng's pupils contracted sharply, and his fingers gripping the knife hilt tightened involuntarily.

He has made great progress in the past month, and with the assistance of his mental power, Luo Feng feels that his true combat strength may not be weaker than that of a warrior at the general level.

But at this moment, they saw the figure directly confronting the beast tide.

The shock I felt was still indescribable.

"So... this is what a true genius is?"

Luo Feng muttered to himself, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Compared to Jiang Ming, the two geniuses that the Thunder Martial Arts Academy had recruited beforehand were nothing.

........

As the moon sets and the stars fade, a pale dawn breaks over the eastern horizon.

The mountain of corpses beside Jiang Ming had already reached a terrifying height.

A full thirty-seven meters!

The stench of blood was so strong it was almost tangible; the morning breeze carried a nauseatingly sweet and pungent smell.

Jiang Ming's movements seemed to slow down.

It wasn't exhaustion, but rather a peculiar kind of "slowness".

The trajectory of the spear in his hand became increasingly simple and natural.

A thrust is a straight stab, without any fancy moves, yet so fast that it surpasses the limits of visual perception; the spear tip pierces out, and the air makes a sharp, piercing sound.

The sweep was a sweeping motion, the power concentrated and not dispersed, drawing a precise arc. Wherever it passed, several monsters suffered broken bones and were sent flying backward.

Pick, snap, grab, stab... every movement is simple and precise, just right. Too much and it becomes clumsy, too little and it loses its power.

He no longer deliberately pursues kill efficiency, nor does he stick to a certain gun style.

Where the mind goes, the gun goes.

The monster's pounces, bites, and charges appeared to him as slowly flowing lines, and his gun was like a pen that could move freely between those lines and easily cut them off.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the distant horizon, the clear light in Jiang Ming's eyes suddenly converged, transforming into a single, dazzling ray of light!

Driven mad by the bloodshed, a one-horned wild boar charged recklessly toward Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming held the gun with both hands and thrust it forward.

This delivery, though seemingly slow, appeared to pierce through the barriers of space.

The spearhead and the charging unicorn's forehead collided precisely at the last second.

The hard horn, strong enough to pierce through steel plates, developed a crack starting from its tip, which then quickly spread and shattered!

The spear continued its momentum, following the broken horn, and plunged into the wild boar's head without any hindrance, emerging from the back of its skull.

The immense kinetic energy of the wild boar's charge was completely neutralized and absorbed by this single shot.

Its heavy body, as if frozen in place, stood stiffly on the tip of Jiang Ming's spear before crashing to the ground, splattering a cloud of blood and mud.

[The Martial Arts Proficiency effect has been activated. Your mastery of marksmanship has improved in actual combat...]

Your marksmanship has reached the 'Perfect Level'.

Perfect level spear technique!

After a night of bloody battle, using countless monsters as whetstones, amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Jiang Ming finally grasped that spark of inspiration, broke through the bottleneck, and elevated his spear technique from the limit of the specialized level to a brand new perfect level!

"good."

Jiang Ming smiled.

And just then...

"Waaaaah~~ Waaaaah~~ Waaaaah~~"

Suddenly, a series of piercing sounds rang out throughout the town, while a deep voice boomed through the loudspeaker.

"Time's up. All aspiring martial artists, proceed immediately to the town's exit."

"Is the martial arts combat assessment over?"

Jiang Ming casually flicked the left ears of several monsters on the ground with the tip of his spear, then headed towards the town gate.

Only then did Jiang Ming have time to check the notifications that had been constantly flooding his screen last night.
