Jungle Hunter
This giant world was very strange. The grass, which was several dozen meters tall, was emerald green, sparkling like warm jade. The vivid green was enough to make one dizzy.
The red flowers were like blazing flames, and the white lilies were translucent. Everything was like something out of a movie, giving off an extremely surreal feeling.
The scenery was picturesque, but Xia Fei was in no mood to appreciate it. The final trial was a life-or-death trial! Slaughter and bloodshed were the essence of this trial. No matter how impassioned Busey's speech was or how powerful Edgeless was, Xia Fei firmly remembered the essence of this life-or-death trial and did not relax in the slightest.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei's figure darted through the strange and enormous forest, using his speed ability to its fullest extent. In the blink of an eye, he had traveled more than ten thousand kilometers.
"Breath Control."
Xia Fei stopped, hiding behind a giant birch tree like a chameleon, like a leopard waiting for its prey.
"Hmph! It's just a little trick, and yet you're praising yourself as if you're some kind of god. I once used my darkness ability to cover an entire galaxy. What's so great about shrinking a bunch of warriors? "Oro unhappily said.
Due to his lack of freedom, Oro could not bear to see others use their law power, for it was very easy for him to associate it with his past glory. Busey's giant world did not enter Oro's eyes at all.
Xia Fei unhurriedly said, "I know that this world isn't really that big, but that I've shrunk. It's just that I don't know what kind of law Busey is using."
"You know?" Oro was confused. "I haven't even told you, so how do you know?"
Xia Fei pursed his lips. "Sir expert, who said that I can only know through you? It's very simple. If this world is magnified, the proportions will definitely be very uncoordinated. For example, the grass will definitely become crowded because of the magnification, so the only way is to magnify the entire planet.
"If that's the case, then there's a downside. The planet grows larger while the surrounding environment of the universe remains the same. Whether it's the speed of rotation or the amount of sunlight, they'll all be different from the past. It won't be long before the plants and animals will be unable to adapt to the change in the speed of rotation of the planet, and they might even die. On the other hand, the plants and animals here are living just fine, so I'm guessing that Busey has secretly shrunk himself and all of us without us knowing."
A hint of surprise flashed in Oro's eyes. He had once again witnessed Xia Fei's reasoning ability, and this ability just so happened to be a weakness of many warriors. Due to excessive cultivation, warriors would become more and more obsessed with martial arts, neglecting the many common existences around them.
Xia Fei, on the other hand, did not have such a problem at all. While he was madly cultivating, he was also constantly learning about technology and other skills, so he could be considered to be progressing at the same time.
"Yes, you're right. Busey uses the Law of Minute Subtlety, which isn't a simple law. It requires the foundation of both the Law of Space and the Law of Matter. Only a warrior who has grasped both laws and a relatively high level of cultivation is qualified to cultivate it," Oro said.
Xia Fei nodded. The fact that Busey had grasped two laws at the same time was still very shocking, but when he thought about how he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension, Xia Fei understood. Who asked the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall to be so powerful?
The number plate hidden in front of his chest vibrated. Xia Fei took it out and saw a name written on it.
"Lu Jinbo?" He frowned slightly. It seemed that this person was the target designated by the assessment. As long as he killed him, he would advance, or else he would have to kill three candidates and steal their number plates to make up the difference.
"Do you know this person?" Phantom asked.
"No. Of all the candidates, I'm only familiar with Yu Xiaobei. I don't recognize anyone else," Xia Fei replied.
This was not surprising, either. No one would have their name carved on their forehead. With candidates from all over the world gathered together, who would recognize anyone? Besides, how many days had it been since Xia Fei had been in this circle? He had no foundation, and his eyes were in the dark, so he barely recognized anyone.
Smiling, Xia Fei muttered to himself, "Whether or not I recognize my target isn't important. What's important is whether or not I can get first place!"
Phantom and Lionheart Emperor Oro were both stunned. Xia Fei's eyes flashed, and he unhurriedly took out a grade 4 Origin Crystal and began to cultivate. He was not willing to stop cultivating even in the middle of a battlefield? Xia Fei was becoming more and more like a martial arts fanatic.
It was not easy to get first place, and the best way was to kill even more targets!
…
Reality had proven that Xia Fei's decision to stay far away from the main battlefield was a wise one. The candidates at the front would enter the forest before the ones with the worst results, and then they would set up an inescapable net, waiting for their prey to show up. The lower the results, the more dangerous it would be.
The massacre had already begun near the Spatial Gate, and before the dozen or so candidates could escape this dangerous area, they had already lost their lives to their enemies. Unscrupulous! For the sake of entering the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, for the Law Emperor armor produced by Fig Corporation! Everyone was going crazy!
Though Edgeless was tempting, not everyone could obtain it. Candidates who knew their limits would not participate in a hopeless struggle. They would try their best to kill their targets or kill three people at random to obtain the number plate. Once they were done, they would have the right to enter the second round of the assessment, joining the elites of the Nine Great Clans in the second round.
To the rational, this was already enough. No matter how good the armor was, one needed to be alive to wear it.
Once they achieved their goal, these rational candidates would immediately leave the main battlefield, running as far away as possible!
And this was exactly what Xia Fei wanted!
Those candidates who immediately left after obtaining the number plate were the rational ones, but Xia Fei was an out-and-out hunter!
It should not be forgotten that Xia Fei had started his career as an assassin. Aside from Crafty Thrust and Breath Control, the most important skills for an assassin were pursuit, prediction, and behavioral analysis.
According to behavioral science, when most people were faced with an unfamiliar road, men would usually choose to go left, while women preferred to go right. When escaping, humans would take the initiative to give up the seemingly wide road, believing that a narrow path was safer, that a valley was safer than a plain because it was more suitable for hiding, and that a forest was safer than a bush because the trees were more effective in providing cover.
This was human behavioral analysis. In truth, humans often made choices based on experience and not rational analysis. It was an innate instinct.
Though Xia Fei had come all the way here, he had not chosen his path randomly.
Having learned the ultimate techniques of the Assassin Sect, Xia Fei had long since seen through the twists and turns of human survival. Rational people believed themselves to be smart, believing that their choice of escape route was objective, but that was not the case at all. Even the most rational person would be influenced by their biological instincts when escaping.
He was just over twenty thousand kilometers away from the center, and from behavioral analysis, the further away one was from danger, the more relaxed one's mind would be, and the length of one's fear of danger would determine the distance one could run.
The spot Xia Fei had chosen had been carefully calculated. His prey would be extremely relaxed when they arrived here, believing that they were out of danger. The position and angle were all in line with behavioral analysis of how humans would escape. He was like a wild beast, quietly hiding in the forest, waiting for his prey.
This was what a qualified hunter should do. He would choose the best spot to wait for his prey to exhaust himself instead of chasing after his prey. Xia Fei's hunting method was definitely the most sinister, the most precise, and the most effective. It had been summed up and summarized by countless assassins over tens of thousands of years.
On the first day, the forest was abnormally quiet, with no wind or grass moving. Xia Fei cultivated where he was, waiting for his prey to arrive. He continued cultivating on the second day, and it was the same on the third.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the night of the third day, and Lionheart Emperor Oro was slowly becoming impatient.
"The Fig Company is very famous even among the Demon Race. Their company's machine-type products are pretty good, and they're at the level of the Law Realm — no, the best in the universe. Staying here all the time won't get you Edgeless," Oro muttered to himself.
Xia Fei smiled. "You don't believe in behavioral analysis?"
"I don't. I'm not human," Oro replied.
Xia Fei casually said, "The ancestors of humans were very weak, and they were always controlled by nature, so they developed many cautious habits, and behavioral analysis is a collection of the inherent habits of humans …"
Halfway through his speech, Xia Fei suddenly stopped lecturing and entered Breath Control. Lionheart Emperor Oro also became abnormally quiet, for his prey had arrived!
* Whoosh whoosh ~ *
Under the moonlight, a black figure darted through the forest, looking behind him with unease as he ran. Seeing that there was no one around, this candidate leaned against a tree and sat down, facing the direction he was running from.
This was a very good example of behavioral analysis. The person was facing behind him because he subconsciously believed that the back was dangerous, while the front was safe.
Little did he know that he had already fallen into Xia Fei's trap. No matter where he looked, the outcome would not change.
'Running twenty thousand kilometers in two and a half days. This person's speed isn't slow,' Xia Fei thought to himself.
Phantom pursed his lips. "I think it's rather slow."
"That's because you're already used to my speed. How can there be so many high-level speed ability users in this world?"
Hidden in the thicket, Xia Fei's eyes, which had cultivated the Beast Spirit Codex, were extremely clear. He was observing the person's clothes, the speed of his heartbeat, and the degree of tension in his nerves. When his prey relaxed, it meant that it was time for Xia Fei to strike!
A true hunter would not strike lightly, but once they did, it would definitely be a kill!
This person was not very eye-catching during the assessment, and Xia Fei had a vague impression of him. At this moment, he was sitting under a tree, gently rubbing his right shoulder, gritting his teeth as if he was in pain. There must be a wound there.
After several minutes of consideration, this person felt that this place should be very safe, so he took off half his sleeve and took out some medicine from his spatial ring to treat his wound.
Xia Fei smiled, thinking to himself, 'This guy's eyes are very uneasy, as if he's holding onto some treasure. Looks like he's already gotten it.'
With a light step, Xia Fei was like a ghost in the night, floating behind the person.
His speed was neither fast nor slow, and Xia Fei circled behind the person, standing less than ten meters away from him.
The Blood Crystal arced through the air in a beautiful arc, like a wisp of smoke drifting through the forest.
The blade got closer and closer, less than three meters away from the person's neck!
Suddenly!
The Blood Crystal accelerated like a bolt of lightning! Xia Fei no longer hid his tracks!
If his prey could escape at such a short distance, then Xia Fei's years of Crafty Approach would have been wasted!
He was one hundred percent sure! There was no way he could escape!
* Slash! *
The blade sank into the bone, and the Blood Crystal began to suck the opponent's blood essence. A portion went to itself, while the rest was sent into Xia Fei's body!
