Therefore, Zhang Yanhang was naturally able to maintain the extreme speed of Mach 28 throughout the entire process.

What concept is Mach 28? It's faster than the first cosmic speed, with a movement speed of nearly ten thousand meters per second, which is 10 kilometers. With this speed to clear monsters, reducing it to less than a second per square kilometer is naturally quite normal.

"Earlier, I only took fifty minutes to clear an area the size of Qin Island City. If I were to really clear Qin Island City, I would probably need no more than fifty minutes at most."

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang feels that if he were to really clear Qin Island City, it might be even faster, after all, he's not yet at his complete form.

Having cleared monsters for over fifty minutes, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but check his Soul points balance to see how many Soul points he'd gotten from clearing over ten thousand square kilometers of monsters.

[Soul points: 16,409,057 (+14,974,140)]

Based on Zhang Yanhang's not-so-accurate rough estimation, he should have taken down over thirty thousand Bloody Reindeer and less than ten thousand Evil Snowmen, totaling around forty thousand monsters.

"Forty thousand monsters, no wonder I managed to gather 14,974,140 Soul points, boosting my Soul points balance successfully from the previous 1,434,917 to 16,409,057, going from seven figures back to eight figures.

But there's still a distance to upgrade Origin LV.6."

According to Zhang Yanhang's estimation, upgrading the Skill to Origin LV.6 to gain Additional Attributes requires at least twenty million Soul points. He's still short by about three million Soul points, which means he needs to kill roughly ten thousand more monsters to gather them, which isn't difficult.

"Since there's not enough Soul points, I'll temporarily refrain from upgrading the Skill."

As for the Profession Level and Limitless Universe Skill Cultivation Method Level, they aren't urgent. Zhang Yanhang's Main Attribute was already boosted to a hundred points, and what's left is merely chasing the Tier limit in a naked state, which will be completed incidentally. He thinks his main priority now is to upgrade the Skill Level.

And what to do if there's not enough Soul points? That's naturally to keep hunting monsters, because he came here to solve the problem of being low on Soul points.

But before hunting monsters, Zhang Yanhang flew near the Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Man's corpse, picked up a piece of Christmas cookie, and tasted it. Turns out this black Gingerbread Man was indeed a chocolate Gingerbread Man.

Of course, it might just be burnt. Anyway, Zhang Yanhang didn't sense much sweetness, and the only feeling upon tasting it was bitterness. In a situation like this, it's hard to distinguish whether it was simply burnt or if pure dark chocolate was used, since the two are somewhat similar.

Though it was quite bitter, Zhang Yanhang couldn't bring himself to waste it but directly swallowed it into his Stomach Space, curious if monster corpses were useful, or rather, on the absorption efficiency or extent.

......

October 31st, Saturday, the sixth day after the Double Ninth Festival, and the second day after Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, at 10:07 AM, Main World, Greenland, Kerisotto Icefield.

Compared to the hilly area where Zhang Yanhang stayed previously, now he is in a genuine ice field. The massive ice field stretches beyond the eye's reach, with the thinnest part over two thousand meters thick, completely formed from ice structures. It's a veritable 'Ice Land'.

On this 'glacier plain' where there's nothing but ice blocks, and not even a sliver of soil can be seen, unsurprisingly, it's utterly dead silent. No animals can survive here, and the only biological entity moving here is Zhang Yanhang and the monsters emerging from the Christmas Transmission Channel.

Since each battle usually leads to vast cracks appearing in the glacier beneath him, Zhang Yanhang sometimes wonders if his environmental destruction might be indeed too severe. Yet upon seeing his Soul points gain, he feels the cracks are just trivial damage, likely repairable with a splash of water, or maybe it'll just fix itself automatically.

Despite the thick layers of snow all around and beneath the snow being ice glaciers over two thousand meters thick, his 'As Flat As A Pancake' ability enables him to overcome this soft and brittle terrain without any hindrance.

He could even be called 'Stepping without Trace', as even when he runs at full speed, he wouldn't affect the snow beneath his feet.

Of course, this is just under force interactions where no influence is produced, but in reality, the Mach Ring automatically formed around his body during high-speed movement and the air flow wrapped around would have some impact on the snow layers.

Sometimes Zhang Yanhang thinks if he didn't have the 'As Flat As A Pancake' ability, his glacier destruction during movement might exceed that during battles.

As for why Zhang Yanhang, clearly capable of flying, sometimes chooses to run for movement, that's naturally because his SS-grade Talent Ocean Rhythm boosts his motion in solid environments but not in gaseous ones.

So, in this plain area, running speed is slightly faster, but if the surroundings are more hill-like with plenty of mountains, then flying is undoubtedly better.

The reason Zhang Yanhang came here is that he scanned from afar a group of Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Men gathered here, and there seemed to be several blackened versions of Santa Claus nearby?

These peculiar Santas indeed have normal outfits, still the usual red from head to toe, from the hat to the clothes to the pants all in red, with only the shoes being black, but there's a significant difference in their specific appearance.

Generally, traditional Santas are kind-looking old men with white beards, while these strange Santas also have white beards but appear to be covered in dirt, with gray-black faces paired with bulging muscles and skin full of blue veins, looking more like zombies.

Moreover, they wield spiked Wolf Fang Clubs and double-headed axes, making them seem like unscrupulous characters, surely capable of busting one child per swing during Christmas gift-giving, letting kids experience the capriciousness and cruelty of fate in advance, ensuring they strive to be born in a nation free of Santas in the next life.

When Zhang Yanhang saw them, this group of monsters simultaneously charged at Zhang Yanhang. You can only say these monsters forcefully refreshed by the Ashen World are indeed much more aggressive than normal monsters, seeming to be naturally berserk, attacking anything without regard to tactics, with a hit-first-ask-later attitude.

Although still some distance away, Zhang Yanhang's Death Wave now has a fairly large coverage range of 1740 meters. Therefore, it quickly envelops the group of charging electric chainsaw gingerbread men and the strange Santa Clauses whose names are unknown.

Accompanied by the spread of the Death Wave, the electric chainsaw gingerbread men plummet from midair to the ground as if struck by a severe blow, their bodies breaking into fragments of various sizes.

But the strange Santa Clauses were not killed instantly by the Death Wave; instead, they spat a mouthful of blood and continued to wield their wolf fang clubs and axes as they charged at him.

Even though he had long sensed through Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil that these strange Santa Clauses were Fourth Tier Monsters, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed when he saw the poor performance of the Death Wave.

Ultimately, it's because the fixed damage limit of the Death Wave is too low, Zhang Yanhang is determined to prioritize upgrading the Death Wave Skill.

Therefore, despite the long-awaited sound of triple-digit kill notifications in his ears, Zhang Yanhang isn't very happy; he just finds these kill notification messages a bit distracting.

[Successfully killed Third Tier Three-star Monster 'Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Man (Normal)' ×1, Soul points +1050.]

[Successfully killed Third Tier Three-star Monster 'Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Man (Normal)' ×1, Soul points +1050.]

......

Upon discovering that the Death Wave couldn't inflict fatal damage on these strange Santa Clauses, Zhang Yanhang immediately makes a reverse charge. At 28 Mach, comparable to Instantaneous Movement, he charges toward them.

These strange Santa Clauses, although Fourth Tier Monsters, aren't very fast, at least not to Zhang Yanhang. They move at about two to three hundred meters per second, not even One Mach, only subsonic.

So when Zhang Yanhang reverse charges and starts swinging his fists at them, they can't even react, just feeling a blur before losing consciousness.

Compared to the Bloody Reindeer, Evil Snowmen, and Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Men, these Santa Clauses are undoubtedly more normal. They're humanoid monsters, not just human-shaped monsters, giving Zhang Yanhang a much better feel when killing them.

Also, after Zhang Yanhang kills the Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Men, they merely break into Christmas cookies or something, but these Santa Clauses turn into more normal minced meat.

After Zhang Yanhang's fist strikes them, their bodies instantly unleash a large amount of tar-like dark green viscous blood. Their muscle tissue shreds layer by layer; these once resilient muscle fibers that could easily allow the Santa Clauses to demolish buildings offer no protection now and are torn apart easily.

Moreover, more impacts are progressively transmitted, soon causing rib fragments mixed with dark green viscous blood and dark red muscle tissue to transform into a bizarre mass exuding a stench, breaking through the constraints of their red cotton coats and dispersed in a conical shape on the snow, adding a unique color to the pure white land.

As for the innards of these Santa Clauses, like their heart and lung tissues, they're undoubtedly more fragile compared to muscles and bones.

So, these visceral tissues had long been twisted and compressed into a heap of minced meat under the effect of the Death Wave, approximately staying in their original region. When Zhang Yanhang swings his fists, the shattered fragments of the visceral tissues immediately fly out under the impact, along with muscle and bone fragments.

Although their innards were already mangled into merely a rough shape, this group of strange Santa Clauses only spat some blood and continued charging at Zhang Yanhang. It can only be said they owe their resilience to the powerful life force of the Fourth Tier.

Of course, eventually, the innards are utterly pulverized, so expecting these Santa Clauses to self-recover is impossible. After receiving a volley of Death Wave, they are essentially in a state of final desperation. If they don't attack quickly, the only outcome is to drag themselves to death.

But ultimately being Fourth Tier, they can still flail desperately for an hour before dying, so to prevent wasting time, it's better to eliminate them directly.

[Successfully killed Fourth Tier One-star Monster 'Zombie Santa (Normal)' ×1, Soul points +3500.]

[Successfully killed Fourth Tier One-star Monster 'Zombie Santa (Normal)' ×1, Soul points +3500.]

[Successfully killed Fourth Tier One-star Monster 'Zombie Santa (Normal)' ×1, Soul points +3500.]

...

Even though this is his first time killing a Fourth Tier Monster of the same tier since promoting to Fourth Tier, it's still like killing Third Tier Monsters for Zhang Yanhang: one punch per kill. After all, Fourth Tier Monsters weren't a threat to him even before his promotion, let alone after promoting to Fourth Tier; it's utterly effortless.

"Turns out they are Fourth Tier One-star Zombie Santas, no wonder they look so ugly like zombies."

Though Zhang Yanhang often fights zombies, he's killing zombies for the first time. It can be said there is indeed a certain difference, such as the color of their blood being worse than zombies', resembling tar, and emitting a stench like fermented sauerkraut mixed with canned herring.

"It seems like this is my first time killing a proper Fourth Tier Monster, the Soul points they give are quite considerable, one monster offering 3500 Soul points, roughly equivalent to twelve Third Tier One-star Bloody Reindeers.

Alas, these monsters forcibly refreshed by the Permanent Teleportation Channel don't drop treasure boxes. Otherwise, these Fourth Tier Zombie Santas would surely provide me with numerous good items."

Regarding this, Zhang Yanhang can only say sacrifices are necessary for gains. Giving up the potential to acquire drop treasure boxes in exchange for monsters refreshing ten times as many is indeed a difficult situation to gauge profit or loss. However, at the very least, the Soul points given are undeniably plentiful.
