Seeing Zhang Che charging at the new group of Stinger Bees, Zheng Hongru and the others sat down on a few protruded rocks in the valley and observed him quietly.

A pity there was no fine liquor to add to the mood!

Xiao Yi’s eyes shone as he watched Zhang Che’s heroic figure moving about. He felt very envious of Zhang Che, and asked the others, “Hey, say, how many of those poisonous bees do you think Brother Che can kill in one go?”

Sun Zhi, who was rather introverted, kept silent. He showed similar looks of envy on his face, with hints of admiration mixed in it.

Although the general who was responsible for the examinees’ safety was unimaginably strong, his level was way out of reach of the examinees. Looking at him was like looking at a god; there wouldn’t be any emotions other than those of worship.

Zhang Che was different, however. They were the same age. It was impossible for them to not have any thoughts of catching up to him when they saw how strong he was.

Zheng Hongru burst out into laughter, “Who cares how many he can kill? We’ll just cheer him on from here!”

Li Da interrupted with a soft voice, “Brother Che is indeed very strong, but I wonder how he is when it comes to dealing with woman? I’ll have to compete with him on this one day… Though, looking at his tiny frame, I don’t think he’s that good.”

The other three all became speechless…

-Come on! Brother, is your brain filled with a certain white, sticky fluid?-

Zhang Che had no idea the others were pointing fingers at him, nor would he be interested enough to pay any attention to them. The group of Stinger Bees in front of him were the best opponents to test how good his swordsmanship was.

With the Swamp Crocodile King armor protecting him, these little beasts could never hope to hurt him. Zhang Che didn’t have to worry about his defense at all. All he needed to do was focus on training his swordsmanship via actual combat.

The buzzing sounds came closer and closer. Zhang Che could clearly see that these Stinger Bees numbered close to a hundred. It was possible that their entire colony had come out.

Zhang Che’s heart tightened a little. He shouted at his teammates, “Retreat a little further away. It’ll be troublesome if I can’t hold them all back and some of them went for you!”

Zheng Hongru and the others’ scalp turned numb at the sight of this. They hurriedly retreated a few dozen meters more in the valley entrance’s direction…

These fellows were confident in Zhang Che, so much so that they worshipped him. They were of the opinion that these poisonous bees wouldn’t be able to get past him!

Moreover, even if a few of them broke past him, they still had time to make their escape. These bees weren’t very fast, anyway. They could successfully escape by riding on their subdued beasts.

Just as they made their retreat and found another place to sit down and enjoy the show, Zhang Che engaged the group of Stinger Bees in battle.

He closed his eyes for three seconds. His future father-in-law’s swordplay demonstration flashed through his mind. Zhang Che reopened his eyes, the green sword in his hand immediately turned into a green blur, shrouding the dense spread of biological fighter planes ahead.

Flick, stab, hack, slash…

Every single one of the simple movements of the set of swordplay were reproduced by Zhang Che in a series of combo attacks, exhibiting unimaginably powerful attacking strength.

Every time the sword flashed, a Stinger Bee would split in two and fall to the ground.

For a brief time, it was like a short rain of Stinger Bees were falling in the valley. In only a few breaths’ time, the numbers of the hundred-plus Stinger Bees fell by close to half.

“Brother Che is the best!” Zheng Hongru shouted in a suppressed voice. He knew he’d draw the poisonous bees to himself if he was too loud, and so when he made this shout, it sounded like a duck with its neck gripped.

“Brother Che is the best!”

“Brother Che is the best!”

The others felt their blood boiling as they watched this scene unfold, and shouted in a similar fashion.

Zhang Che, who was continuing his onslaught on the Stinger Bees, naturally heard them. He couldn’t resist showing a faint helpless smile, but his movements were as fluid as ever, drawing arcs upon arcs with the Mutated Puffersword.

Zhang Che really had to thank that peculiar demonic flower.

If that demonic flower hadn’t altered his physique, who knew how long he might have had to train and use the sword art in actual battles before he could display such might with this unnamed sword art?

The only frustrating thing about this was his newfound monstrous appetite.

Following the rapid demise of their fellow bees, the remaining Stinger Bees were finally enraged!

The black stingers on the end of their tails emitted deep blue light, flung out like iron nails attracted to a magnet towards Zhang Che. However, none of them were able to penetrate the three-star gold-quality armor he was wearing.

Two minutes later, peace returned to the valley.

Zhang Che’s expression was similarly calm. Even though the Stinger Bees died one after another and dropped beast cards, nothing could sway his emotions one bit.

These cards were merely two-star bronze-quality, and their potential was the most garbage-tier. Naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t be interested in them.

Even if he fused them together, they wouldn’t provide any experience to his fusion skill, nor would their value increase by much. There really was nothing about it that could move him.

Moreover, the four greenhorns in the valley were still watching him. How would he explain it if he turned all these two-star beast cards into three-stars?

Zheng Hongru and the others were incredibly excited after watching Zhang Che wipe out over a hundred Stinger Bees in mere minutes. They came running towards him, yelling, their gazes filled with admiration for him. “Woah, Brother Che is so smooth! I knew he’s the best!”

“So many beast cards dropped!” Zheng Hongru and the others only noticed a bunch of shining bronze beast cards around Zhang Che after running over in excitement. Each of the beast cards were like cash with a large denomination printed on them, emitting a bewitching luster.

“Brother Che, we’ll help you pick them up!” Xiao Yi said and bent down to pick up the beast cards on the grass. The other three reacted to those words and got into motion at the same time. They took quite a while to pick up all the beast cards.

They came together and counted the beast cards. What do you know, there were actually over twenty cards!

Even though the attributes of these Stinger Bees weren’t nothing to shout about, they were still poison-type offensive subdued beasts. It wouldn’t be a problem to sell them at several tens of thousands of dollars a piece!

“Help me keep them for now. Return them to me after the examination.” Zhang Che didn’t mention a thing about gifting them a card or two. As the leader of the group, he had to reward and punish them accordingly.

He was the one who slew all these Stinger Bees by himself. Zheng Hongru and the others didn’t do a thing to help at all. Naturally he couldn’t give them a share. Otherwise, how should he handle it if he hunted a powerful exotic beast by himself in the future and obtained a high-quality beast card?

Thus, it was best to set some rules from the beginning. Otherwise, it would only lead to people feeling dissatisfied, which was detrimental to the hunting competition.

The others naturally understood Zhang Che’s intent. They have no complaints regarding this either. They nodded and gathered the beast cards together, keeping them in Li Da’s backpack.

It couldn’t be helped; this fellow was muscular. It was only logical for him to carry more stuff, although the twenty-plus beast cards didn’t weigh much.

Suddenly, a large figure shot out from deeper into the valley.

Zhang Che’s complexion changed slightly and shouted, “Hide yourselves!”

As the figure flew, the buzzing sound it produced was several times louder than ordinary Stinger Bees. It was truly like a bomber aircraft droning towards them.

Although this group of Stinger Bees weren’t very numerous, there was a Bee King among them!
