"Hidden Blade!?"

A glint flashed in Bai Qingyan's eyes; even she had not anticipated such a development.

"Awakened only seven days ago, and this is his first day of actual combat!"

"And he can learn to use a Hidden Blade in the middle of combat?"

The Mentalists differ from the Martial Artists.

The Martial Artists have Moves. Even if they are not exquisitely refined or perfected, as long as you practice them Move by Move, you can at least achieve a semblance of the technique.

However, mentalists do not have vast combat methods.

Like the Hidden Blade.

Keeping one's fundamental Flying Blades hidden in combat and striking the final blow at the most critical juncture.

It's simple, and the explanation is pretty straightforward.

But at the moment of battle, the mind goes blank. The method is known, but it is not remembered, or, even if remembered, it is clumsy and completely ineffectual in hiding anything.

Qin Mu's Move just now fooled several supervisors, including Bai Qingyan, and even the Examiners.

Nobody knew that Qin Mu could have the mental force and composure to hide a Flying Blade while using his full punch.

Bai Qingyan's eyes shone, her hunger so intense it seemed like she wanted to drag Qin Mu out from the projection and devour him whole.

"What a tragedy!"

Guo Youwei quietly sighed:

"Qin Mu, can you please be a bit more low-key right now?"

"If this continues, the other factions really would go berserk trying to snatch him up."

"That Wu Zhiming has been gone for half a day now and has yet to come back. Can he be up to something?

Just then.

Several passers-by also began to loudly curse.

"Wu Zhiming! You have broken the rules, haven't you? Why is he allowed to go for the rescue?

What?!

Guo Youwei suddenly looked up. In the footage, Wu Zhiming had joined the Martial Artists of the rescue team and was brazenly rushing into the examination area!?

"Shameless!!"

"Utterly shameless!!!"

Guo Youwei had thought that as long as he got someone of his own into the Martial Examination's rescue team, he would be able to stabilize Qin Mu first. Even if they could not sign him, other factions would not be able to interfere easily.

The result?

Wu Zhiming, that guy, has no shame whatsoever!!

Even if he left straight away, he simply could not be quicker than the rescue team.

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang, this time it is all up to you! You must hold your ground!

Meanwhile, the Examiner was replaying the scene of the recent battle in slow motion.

It was then that everyone saw the Flying Blade, which, after the outburst of energy, had silently plunged into the ground.

"Hiss, incredible!"

The angle was perfect; there was no reflection whatsoever, and the Void Breaking sound was perfectly synchronized with his shout, making it completely inaudible.

"Five Flying Blades! What level of strength is that?

"Holy crap!"

"Didn't they say Bai Qiuye only has three Flying Blades? Could this Qin Mu be even stronger than Bai Qiuye?"

Hmph!

Although Bai Qingyan had been longing for Qin Mu, since someone was praising one while disparaging the other, she felt uncomfortable. She immediately coldly refuted,

"What the mentalists call 'mastering Flying Blades' refers to the amount of blades that they can control at full power!

"If they forgo the maximum attack power of the Flying Blades, a normal Mentalist, who has some training, can control five and even ten Flying Blades."

"The key is practical combat operation."

"While the speed of four Flying Blades in attack does feel fast, that is just a matter of the Martial Artist's explosive force-an Overlay effect. The actual speed is no stronger than the previous two, and the one used for the Hidden Blade had very little mental power.

"When the explosive attack happens, the other four are no longer controlled. Instead, all power is concentrated on controlling one. This is a time-sharing method of mental power allocation and is a basic Cultivation Technique for Mentalists."

Oh~~

With that explanation, all was clear.

But within her own heart, Bai Qingyan secretly marveled: "Awakened only seven days ago and two Flying Blades at full power, a maximum of five, and he's even learned a basic Mentalist Cultivation Technique and achieved some results. This is truly a Prodigy!!"

.Out in the wilderness.

With the death of the Wolf King.

The whole pack of wolves fell silent suddenly.

Qin Mu leisurely retrieved all the Flying Blades from mid-air.

Each worth over a million, losing them would truly be heartbreaking.

Awoo~!!

The wolf pack uniformly raised their heads while howling across the plain.

It seemed they were bidding farewell to the Wolf King, Qin Mu guessed, but the next second.

The surrounding wolf pack pounced on the corpse of the Wolf King, tearing at him with their mouths.

"What the hell?"

Qin Mu stared, dumbfounded.

"Bastards! That's my spoils of war!"

A Fourth-Tier Vicious Beast.

Worth hundreds of thousands, and if it is leader-level, then it might sell for even a million credit points.

This is money!

"Die for me!"

Qin Mu was enraged and lashed out. Four Flying Blades flew out, shooting straight down.

Pfft! Pfft!

The Flying Blades plunged from the sky into the backs of the wolf pack.

The scene below was chaotic, and trying to hit the eyes of the Vicious Beasts that were frantically tearing at something at such a moment was clearly asking too much.

This was not something control alone could resolve; one also needed to predict moving target motions.

After all, whereas previously the wolves jumped, their heads had little room to move around in mid-air, and their trajectory was the same.

Now the pack of wolves was crowding together, their muzzles nearly hidden in the Wolf King's body. Where could he find a target to strike?

Qin Mu controlled the Flying Blades to shred the hearts of four Vicious Beasts; however, the corpse of the Wolf King had already been torn to shreds.

Chirp~!

In the sky, a series of piercing metallic screeches, like metal scraping, rang out.

"Master, beware! The Golden-Beaked Vulture flock has begun its dive!

Tsk!

Damn things, they certainly picked their timing.

Qin Mu didn't have time to launch the second wave of attacks. He recalled his Flying Blades and retreated directly.

Clang!

His shield unfurled, blocking in front of him.

"They're not coming for me!?!" Qin Mu's gaze followed the dive path of the Golden-Beaked Vulture, which plunged downwards in a straight line onto the wolf pack below.

There lay the remains of the Wolf King, along with the corpses of dozens of the slain Three-Eyed Wolves.

That was the target of the Golden-Beaked Vulture.

If they can snatch something ready-made, vultures won't actively hunt.

Bang bang. Waves of sonic booms erupted in the air.

The Golden-Beaked Vultures, in their dive, were breaking the sound barrier directly. Their speed was simply terrifying.

"Master, now is the best time to retreat!

Xiaoyi warned.

But Qin Mu seemed not to hear, his eyes fixed only on the high-speed diving Golden-Beaked Vultures.

"Go!"

Qin Mu threw out a Flying Blade with a backhand. Its initial speed was ordinary, but after adjusting its angle, it suddenly accelerated, flashing through the flock of vultures.

No hit, no reaction?

Within the last few dozen meters, several Golden-Beaked Vultures appeared gliding on outstretched wings, showing off their razor-sharp talons. They perfectly grasped the corpses of the Vicious Beasts that were on the ground and flew away flapping their wings.

Movements were flowing, graceful, indeed an art in themselves.

Just then.

Bang~

One Golden-Beaked Vulture fell clumsily to the ground with a crash!

That previous Flying Blade had been directed at the throat of the Golden-Beaked Vulture but was unfortunate enough to merely nick its wing.

But that single graze hurt the wing strength of the Golden-Beaked Vulture. The strong force created by the transition to gliding at high speeds directly snapped its wing, making it crash onto the ground.

Look no further.

This Golden-Beaked Vulture was dead, all right. A supersonic crash-even high strength alloy couldn't take that kind of fall.

"Heh."

"One less to worry about."

Qin Mu's interest was piqued.

Compared to when they landed and took off again, Golden-Beaked Vultures became much slower, not even as fast as he was. It wasn't dangerous so long as they weren't diving directly at him.

The Flying Blade was not retrieved.

Nor did it accelerate; it stood upright in mid-air.

When these Golden-Beaked Vultures dived down, the Flying Blade would take advantage of that to make a few slashes at them while in mid-air.

It didn't need much.

Just a few feathers cut, and the creature would crash automatically during its subsequent deceleration for hunting!

Third-Tier Savage Beasts!

The price of their land is usually around a hundred thousand, but that's for land Vicious Beasts.

Flying Vicious Beasts sell for five, even ten times the price of land Vicious Beasts!

Their difficulty to hunt is one factor, but crucially, their wings and bones, capable of supersonic flight, are key materials for the making of new alloys, hence so valuable.

Each worth over a million.

And the key was that killing them now was effortless.

Picking up money.

Every casual strike of a Flying Blade was worth over a million!

"Comfortable~"

Qin Mu had never imagined making money could be so easy.

With more Golden-Beaked Vultures, he might even be able to kill dozens, or even hundreds, overnight by using these Three-Eyed Wolf corpses as bait.

"By the way, how many points do I have?

Qin Mu asked, while he controlled the Flying Blades. "Master, your points have just surpassed 10,000, currently ranking first! Leading second-place Bai Qiuye by 7,020 points! Xiaoyi replied. "That much?" Qin Mu was somewhat surprised after hearing this.
