The breeze blew lightly, rippling the waters.
Above the deep pool, two figures stood facing each other from afar.
One had cold eyes and emanated murderous intent while the other sported an aloof expression and a haughty demeanor.
“Leave? What if I don’t?”
Meng Lei licked his lips, the corners of his lips curling upward.
“I don’t have time to waste on you. If you’re not too foolish, you should know what you should be doing,” Miriam, the Immortal Fairy, replied in a clear and melodious voice. “Otherwise, I can only use the arrow in my hand to give you a hand.”
“Yet another braggart that thinks too highly of themselves.” Meng Lei shook his head lightly. “I’ve seen too many people like you, and there’s usually only one outcome for all of you.”
Whoosh!
With a soft whiz, Meng Lei quietly vanished from where he was. His movements were so fast that he left behind a series of afterimages!
Everywhere he passed by, he left behind a trail of afterimages.
In an instant, Meng Lei was already right in front of Miriam. Then, his foot went flying out!
His kick was honestly one that was as immovable as a mountain when still and like a clap of shocking thunder when in action. Most people couldn’t react in time at all, and this category of people naturally included the powerful Prince Barbarossa as well.
However, what surprised Meng Lei was that Miriam the Immortal Fairy had actually reacted in time. A hint of anger appeared on her exquisite features—she was thoroughly enraged.
“How dare you kick me, you bastard!”
Without a second word, she raised her arm and fired an arrow.
Her actions as she held her bow up and notched an arrow were as smooth as flowing water, and she was actually slightly faster than even the current Meng Lei.
Whoosh!
A green arrow instantly shot toward Meng Lei. As they were too near each other, Meng Lei couldn’t even duck in time, and the green arrow shot straight toward his heart.
Thud!
This time, something that shocked Miriam happened—the green arrow collided against Meng Lei’s chest, only to let out a dull thud before turning into a bunch of green dots and dissipating into the air.
Other than that, it actually didn’t hurt Meng Lei at all. It didn’t even pierce through his skin.
“Oh my dragon god!!!”
Miriam was terribly stunned; she was thoroughly astounded by what had just happened. One must know that she was a Saint Domain archer. The power in her arrows could pierce through the vast majority of Magical Beasts, yet it hadn’t made a scratch on him!
Just how powerful were Meng Lei’s defenses?
Practically a nightmare!
Was he really human?
Boom!
A moment or two was enough to determine the outcome of a battle between experts. In the split second where Miriam was distracted, Meng Lei’s foot had already reached!
His foot struck her exquisite face viciously. Miriam let out a shrill cry and flew outward with a scream.
“Do you think it’s over? You’re dead wrong!”
Meng Lei had no intentions to stop. He used both his fists and his legs, launching a series of frenzied attacks and raining blows upon her in succession.
It was kick after kick and punch after punch!
Bam, bam, bam!
Smack, smack, smack!
Boom, boom, boom!
As she had already lost the initiative, and coupled with Meng Lei’s incredibly berserk attacks, Miriam wasn’t able to launch any decent attacks anymore. Instead, she turned into a punching bag that could only passively take attacks.
The fury in Meng Lei caused him to attack without holding back at all, much less hold any tender feelings toward the fairer sex. She wasn’t his wife anyway, so why should he feel any sort of tenderness toward her?
“Ahhh!”
“Ahhh!”
“Ahhh!”
After a few minutes of pummeling, the fury in Meng Lei was finally appeased. Miriam looked as if she had been struck by the legendary Beyond Recognition Kick, and her face was totally swollen. Even the sight of her alone was already nauseating enough to most people, let alone feel the urge to kiss her.
“Has my Beyond Recognition Kick reached a great mastery level?”
At the sight of Miriam’s terrible state, Meng Lei nodded in satisfaction. The fury in him had finally been vented. “This… is the outcome of launching sneak attacks from the shadows!”
“Y-you… You…”
Miriam was both alarmed and furious. How she wished she could eat Meng Lei’s flesh, drink his blood, slash him a thousand times, and dismember him into a million pieces!
She, the great Immortal Fairy! One of Dragon God Academy’s four great monsters! The ice goddess that countless people idolized!
Since when had she ever taken such a vicious beating?
This was practically a great insult to her!
And yet…
“What’s there to ‘you’ about? Cut the crap! If you don’t hand over your spatial ring, I’ll beat you up again!”
Meng Lei snorted and went on. “A glance at how little you’re wearing is enough for me to know that you’re no decent person. Someone like you should just hurry up and go to Yihong Brothel1. This isn’t a place where you should be.”
“Ugh!”
Miriam was so furious that she threw up blood. Then, she fell right onto the ground.
“Playing dead?”
Meng Lei raised an eyebrow. With a casual point of his finger, the deep pool below them instantly froze, and Miriam landed on the ice.
Afraid that she was playing tricks, Meng Lei froze her arms and her legs before he approached her with peace of mind. Then, he took off all her…
Spatial rings!
And then, he escaped at once!
“Be thankful that I showed mercy, b*tch! If the exchange competition hadn’t prohibited contestants from taking another contestant’s life, your head wouldn’t be on your neck right now!”
…
“I seriously doubt whether or not you’re really a man. Such a beautiful woman, and such an exquisite-looking face…
“Pure and innocent, yet sensual! A beauty so gorgeous that she can fall kingdoms and cities and captivate even the birds and the beasts, and yet you…
“Not only are you unmoved, but you even beat her up into such a horrible state!
“Is it because you didn’t develop properly and haven’t developed your carnal desires, or are you just not a man at all?”
After leaving the Scarlet Swamp Snake swamp, Meng Lei resumed his Saint Domain Magical Beast-searching journey. Along the way, Ol’ Amos grumbled and nagged, constantly criticizing Meng Lei’s terrible conduct.
Terrible conduct?
Yes, terrible conduct, indeed!
What Meng Lei had done to Miriam were wicked deeds that enraged both gods and mortals alike. How could he beat a beauty into that awful state? Was it something that a human should do?
Meng Lei didn’t feel like entertaining that amorous old man, so he changed the topic and asked, “Sacas, how’s the snake venom in your body?”
“I’ve already more or less recovered, Boss!”
“Alright, that’s great. Something is puzzling me, though. Why were the Scarlet Swamp Snake Emperor’s venomous fangs able to pierce through your skin so easily when your defenses are so high?”
“You don’t understand, Boss. The Scarlet Swamp Snake Emperor’s venomous fangs are comparable to a half-divine weapon. Incredibly sharp and virtually indestructible. They can pierce through almost all Saint Domain Magical Beasts’ armor and defenses.”
In the period of time that followed, Meng Lei continued to hunt Magical Beasts.
As time moved forward day by day, his Wealth also increased rapidly.
Apart from resting, eating, and occasionally redeeming credit, all Meng Lei did the rest of the time was hunting.
Before he knew it, half a month had gone by.
On this day, Meng Lei arrived at the seaside.
The Endless Oceans were shrouded in boundless fog as usual. Apart from the sound of surging torrential waves, one couldn’t see any further.
Meng Lei went over to an ocean bay. The waters at the crescent-shaped bay were calm and peaceful and a clear azure blue, much like a sapphire.
A short distance from the bay was an expanse of forests. Sandwiched between the dense forests and the bay was a soft sandy shore with fine sand and warm, mild sunlight.
Large crabs occupied the shore, bubbling at their mouths as they sunbathed. Relaxed and comfortable, they were as carefree as can be.
“Boss, this is the Golden Ocean Bay, the Golden Brown Crabs’ territory!”
Sacas pointed at the calm and peaceful shore and said, “Domineering and savage by nature, most of the Golden Brown Crabs are very strong. They are basically all Eighth- and Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts.”
“At last, a group of Magical Beasts that haven’t been slaughtered yet. What a hard life I lead!” Meng Lei heaved a small sigh. “In just a short half a month, almost all the Magical Beasts on the Lost Continent have been wiped out!”
The Lost Continent occupied a vast territory, and its surface area reached as big as over 10 million square kilometers, and in it lived innumerable Magical Beasts.
During the first few days of reaching the Lost Continent, Meng Lei had a lot of fun. His average daily profits had exceeded 100 billion gold coins.
However, as time passed, there were fewer and fewer Magical Beasts. The target Magical Beasts had either all been slaughtered by others or were currently in the midst of being hunted. Hence his profits had started to plummet.
As a result, they’d only found this undiscovered “paradise” and a group of yet-to-be-slaughtered Magical Beasts after traveling about for an entire day.
Not only did his daily profits not reach even 10 billion gold coins, but he was spending the vast majority of time moving about…
To sum it up—the number of Magical Beasts had really decreased!
To be honest, the calculations made sense, too.
With an area of 10 million square kilometers and 7,000 to 8,000 contestants, each contestant didn’t even have an area of 1,500 square kilometers to themselves on average. How could the place possibly be able to endure a two-week-long hunt?
One must understand that hardly even a single Magical Beast could be found within several hundred kilometers of the Saint Domain Magical Beasts’ territories. These large regions were practically empty!
Those that weren’t Saint Domain Magical Beasts couldn’t withstand the contestants’ massacres, either. After the passage of half a month, it was entirely understandable how almost all the Magical Beasts had been cleanly slaughtered.
“Without Magical Beasts to hunt, a large-scale massacre among the contestants is going to take place in the upcoming half a month’s time!”
Meng Lei knew that very well.
In the Lost Continent elimination round, only the top 100 contestants with the most number of points would be selected, while all the other 7,748 contestants would be eliminated.
With only one in 78 advancing to the next round, the ratio was simply too low. One could totally imagine just what was going to happen in the upcoming half a month’s time!
“What does that have to do with me, though?”
Without Magical Beasts to hunt, Meng Lei’s enthusiasm in moving about had dropped significantly. Rather than pursuing the other contestants all about the continent, he might as well wait for them to come to him instead!
The moment the thought occurred to him, Meng Lei’s gaze couldn’t help but land on the Golden Ocean Bay. With clean and clear waters, beautiful scenery, white and clean sand, and gentle and mild sun, it was both suitable for swimming, as well as for sunbathing. It was totally a sanctuary for a beach vacation!
“Looks like even the heavens want me to wait idly for opportunities. Alright, I’ll rest here for a few days.”
Meng Lei smacked his lips. Then, as several wind blades shot out, the hundreds of Golden Brown Crabs on the shore were wiped out at once—including even the Golden Brown Crab Emperor.
“Let’s modify things a little!”
The seawater churned and splashed against the shore, washing away the blood on it.
Then, vines extended and weaved into a beach chair and a beach umbrella!
“Haha! Here I come!”
With a leap, Meng Lei jumped into the clean and clear waters and began to swim leisurely.
During the last half a month, he had either been hunting Magical Beasts or busy traveling about. Going about and camping outdoors had worn him out.
Therefore, he would relax properly this time.
After a round of swimming, Meng Lei returned to the shore in satisfaction. He laid down on the lush, green beach chair and brought out wine and fruits. Then, he began to eat them in delight!
“Sacas, it’s time for fishing. Whether or not we can bait the fishes will depend on you.”
“What do you mean by that, Boss?”
Sacas, who was soaking in the sea and swimming about, looked stupefied.
I’m bathing, y’know. Can it wait?
“…”
“In other words, you’re supposed to act as the bait. Never mind, just let out your aura!”
Poooot~
“I’m telling you to let out your aura, not your gas!”
