Chapter 146: Five Consecutive Level-Ups, Ten Billion Experience Points Credited!
Page (1/3)
More than an hour later...
Song Qi ended his conversation with the other party.
“Excellent. I’ve finished asking my questions.”
“Thank you.”
The divine bull’s eyes were vacant, and its hind legs were still trembling faintly.
“Since you’re done asking, then, as agreed, do it.”
“Don’t worry.”
Song Qi stepped aside. Di Xin came before the bull and slowly raised his fist...
Bang!
The enormous bull’s head exploded in an instant!
[Experience +8,000,000,000]
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Several beams of white light descended.
A full eight billion experience points instantly filled Song Qi’s small experience bar!
His level leaped from forty-eight straight to fifty-two!
And with the enemy’s death, the dueling space finally shattered as well...
.....
Within the divine bull’s habitat...
Crash!
A gigantic bull carcass, as tall as a mountain, suddenly plummeted from the sky!
A tremendous wave instantly surged across the entire marsh!
Five black bulls sleeping in the marsh were startled awake. Upon seeing the fallen body, however, they breathed sighs of relief.
The carcass was simply too enormous for them to see its full shape.
One black bull, noticeably smaller than the others, rammed the body twice in mild annoyance. The impacts rang out with a crisp, pleasant sound.
“Third Brother! Why did you suddenly reveal your true form? You scared us!”
“That’s right. You even frightened little sister. Be careful, or she might refuse to marry you when she grows up!”
“Heh heh. If Third Brother really doesn’t marry her, then the one who’ll be heartbroken is probably little sister!”
“You—you—you... What are you talking about? Hmph, I’m not speaking to any of you anymore.”
A bashful voice came from the smallest black bull. Shyly, she fled into the marsh, smashing every boulder in her path to pieces with a single charge.
“........”
“An assault on the eyes!”
Song Qi narrowed his eyes atop the treetop, then rubbed them.
“We know everything we need to know about this place.”
“So... let’s start killing!”
With that, the four of them instantly split up.
Ying Zheng and Song Qi arrived simultaneously on opposite sides of the marsh.
Countless clumps of yellow mud rose from the ground, each condensing into the form of a terracotta soldier!
At level fifty-two, Ying Zheng had already unlocked fifty percent of his power. His mental attribute had thus risen above twelve thousand points!
Combined with the effect of the Imperial Seal...
He could now summon forty-eight terracotta soldiers!
Moreover, every terracotta soldier possessed attributes exceeding six thousand points!
They were even stronger than the normal attributes of the level-ninety divine bull from earlier!
Not to mention that the number of targets for [Sweep Across the Six Directions] was also determined by Ying Zheng’s mental attribute.
At this moment, the skill’s number of targets had risen to a full forty-eight!

Combined with Song Qi’s [Soul Link]...
That meant ninety-six terrifying terracotta soldiers, each possessing more than eighteen thousand points in every attribute!
In less than a moment, ranks of fearsome terracotta soldiers had completely surrounded the entire marsh!
An inhumane massacre slowly began from the outer perimeter.
The so-called divine beasts were no different from lambs awaiting slaughter before them.
With nothing more than a light thrust, the metallic hides of the black bulls—something they had always been proud of—were effortlessly pierced!
[Experience +210,000]
[Experience +4,000,000]
[Experience +80,000,000]
....
One divine beast after another fell beneath the hands of the terracotta soldiers.
The pleasant system notifications continued pouring into Song Qi’s ears.
His spirits rose tremendously!
“Wonderful...”
“How long has it been since I last heard experience notifications this frequent, with numbers this high?”
“What a pity. The numbers still aren’t big enough!”
“Lu Bu and Di Xin haven’t made their move yet?”
.....
The four black bulls frolicking in the marsh had yet to realize that danger had arrived.
Lu Bu appeared above them. Behind him, a colossal, illusory demon-god slowly took shape.
The demon-god moved in sync with Lu Bu, gripping a long halberd in one hand and raising it high overhead.
The enormous phantom of the halberd suddenly came crashing down!
Then...
Boom!!!
Black mud and stones erupted into the sky!
The four adult divine beasts, who had been playing and roughhousing just moments before, were hurled high into the heavens by the tremendous impact like torn rags.
Blood sprayed wildly from their mouths, and their torsos were shattered to pieces!
Plop!
Plop!
Plop!
With that single strike, the demon-god phantom dispersed.
A light rain began to fall across the entire area.
It was a rain composed of mud and stones, flesh and fragments.
The marsh, spanning several hundred meters in length and width and covering tens of thousands of square meters, vanished beneath that one blow.
In its place stood an enormous crater!
The four adult divine beasts had already died in midair.
[Experience +600,000,000]
[Experience +50,000,000]
[Experience +400,000,000]
[Experience +800,000,000]
Far away, Di Xin had also caught up with the bashful black bull that was fleeing.
Bang!
His fist came down...
[Experience +400,000,000]

A full 2.7 billion experience points poured into Song Qi’s body.
His experience bar had already been half full. It paused for only a moment before immediately surging upward again.
Ding!
A beam of white light descended.
Song Qi reached level fifty-three!
He had gained five levels in less than ten minutes!
“Excellent, excellent, excellent!”
“This is more like it! What a rush!”
“As expected, the Third Continent truly deserves its reputation as a paradise for monsters!”
“But... a level-ninety-four monster can provide 1.6 billion experience points?”
He recalled the high-ranking demon he had encountered earlier. As he remembered it, that one had only given him 3.6 billion.
“So the higher the level, the more the experience rewards multiply?”
“Judging from this ratio, could it be somewhere between levels ninety-five and ninety-nine?”
“Does that mean a level-one-hundred monster could provide more than ten billion, or even a hundred billion experience points?!”
“And if I add a tenfold experience card...”
“Hiss!”
Song Qi’s eyes lit up.
A sudden impulse welled up within him...
An impulse to go to the divine kingdom and slaughter those gods...
“No, no, no. Calm down...”
“Calm down, Song Qi. You have to remain calm!”
“You’re still very weak...”
“My strength is still somewhat lacking. After all, I’m only in my forties... No, wait. I’m already level fifty.”
“But level fifty is still a little low.”
“Besides, I don’t have any particularly effective means of dealing with monsters that command multiple Laws.”
“I’ll wait until level sixty—until I summon the fourth spirit at level sixty—then decide whether to go or not.”
Song Qi suppressed this reckless idea, then exhaled deeply and gradually regained his composure.
He instantly flew high into the sky and circled the entire region once!
Only after confirming that no divine beasts had escaped and that there were no others outside the encirclement did he descend again.
According to the divine bull’s account, the marsh was their acknowledged lair.
Most of the divine beasts in this region gathered around it.
Only a few particularly curious young divine beasts liked to wander through the surrounding forests.
However, the intelligence of young divine beasts was rather low.
They could not speak, nor did they possess any complex thoughts.
The only thing Song Qi needed to watch for was the hunting party that had gone out that morning.
Most of them were divine beasts on the verge of adulthood, so they were enormous, and the noise they made while walking was equally immense.
There was no way they could conceal themselves.
Therefore, Song Qi only needed to make a rough check that they were not nearby.
After that, he did not need to search for them. He could simply wait at their lair for them to return.
