None of them managed to get a good night's sleep.

The sounds of battle and screams persisted, growing nearer with each passing moment. Everyone, including Draken, felt on edge.

The campsite offered favorable conditions overall, but the open terrain had its pros and cons.

In times of safety, they could survey their surroundings from the slightly elevated hill.

However, in times of danger, the exposed mountain peak left them vulnerable, with nowhere to hide and nowhere to flee but to become live targets.

Fortunately, despite the escalating chaos drawing closer, it didn't encroach upon the few individuals atop the mountain.

With bated breath, they endured the tumult until dawn.

“It seems to have quieted down.”

“Should we go check it out?” Draken suggested in a hushed tone.

Though slightly perilous, the idea seemed necessary; the pungent scent of blood lingering from the chaos had already wafted up with the mountain breeze.

Continuing to linger risked discovery by other demonic beasts or

    In Bactria, the combat examination had barely commenced for half a day before it was abruptly halted. This event, an annual affair for the humans, drew participants from all walks of life. It was rare to find anyone without a vested interest, as the martial arts examination encompassed nearly every sector in Bactria.However, this year's examination took an unexpected turn. A significant geological upheaval shook the secret realm of Myriad Beast Mountain, disrupting the safety zones designated by humans. Despite timely detection, the chaos within the secret realm rendered it inaccessible to the high school examinees.It took the education division half a day to grasp the severity of the situation. As news of the examination's premature end and the venue complications spread, it sent shockwaves across Bactria, touching every sector of society. The widespread nature of the issue made it impossible to conceal.Among those affected were the children of employees across various divisions i

    On the Goblin Lord's body, two distinct charred palm prints stood out prominently, evidence of the scorching heat from Draken's mastered Diamond Dust Palm technique.Strictly speaking, Diamond Dust Palm wasn't bound by specific palm techniques but served more as a versatile martial enhancement.It boasted high temperature, toughness, and increased strength, allowing for varied strikes, even a mere slap."What a waste," sighed York, tallying his earned martial arts examination points. "Selling the materials from these demonic beasts and devils could fetch us a good sum. Sadly, time and energy are scarce for such endeavors..."After a tumultuous night, the area was littered with numerous corpses, emitting a pungent stench of blood.While gathering points was manageable, collecting materials would be time-consuming. Plus, lingering too long risked attracting more demonic creatures."Don't fret, we have six more days in this realm. Plenty of opportunities ahead," Draken reassured with a g

    York was dumbfounded as he looked at Draken waving his sword. Raul and Nana had already run far away.York had heard of sword techniques that could block hidden weapons or other flying tools.However, even the lowest level of cultivation for those sword techniques had to be in the pulsing realm.No martial apprentice could cultivate such a sword technique.This was because all of those sword techniques required the assistance of strong eyesight.To put it nicely, the martial apprentice realm was the reserve for martial artists. In fact, in this world where everyone valued martial arts, even an ordinary person who was physically unsuitable for practicing martial arts could have the strength of a martial apprentice realm after long-term training.Therefore, in theory, the martial apprentice realm was still the level of ordinary people.A martialist in the pulsing realm could open up meridians, allowing themselves to truly possess vitality.The so-called vitality was energy and spirit.

    "Let's go! Let's go! Let's hold hands. Let's go! Let's go! Let's go traveling," Draken chanted cheerfully, leading the way after their narrow escape from the stinger demon bees. They slowed their pace, mindful that running might attract more trouble than it solved.In high spirits, Draken even began to sing a nursery rhyme, his mood buoyed by their successful evasion. He had managed to collect thirty-five stinger demon bee stingers, which could fetch around thirty-five thousand dollars on the market. Each stinger could be used to craft a single special arrow imbued with deadly poison, making them highly sought after despite their relatively modest individual value."Draken, your sword skills..." York finally gave in to his curiosity, unable to contain his wonder at Draken's remarkable defense against the stingers."I created it myself. Pretty amazing, right?" Draken chuckled, confirming York's suspicions. He had indeed developed the sword technique himself, drawing on his extensive kn

    “Lt’s go! Let’s go! Let’s hold hands. Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go traveling.”After escaping from the stinger demon bees, Draken and the others slowed down. After all, if they kept running, they would make a lot of noise and attract unnecessary trouble.Draken was in a good mood and even started to sing a nursery rhyme.He had collected a total of thirty-five stinger demon bees ‘stingers. According to the market price, he could sell them for about thirty-five thousand dollars.A single stinger could only be used to create one special arrow with deadly poison. The stinger itself could be sold for 1000 dollars.This price was not exaggerated. Although the toxicity of this poisonous thorn may not have much effect on some higher-level demon beasts or demons, it would still have a little effect.At a critical moment, it could turn defeat into victory because of this little effect. Therefore, this thing never lacked a market.In other words, there was no lack of market for any materials, p

    Although it had been a few months since Draken transmigrated to this world, and he had already merged with the host’s memories, Draken did not accept the host’s social relationship.Draken seemed to be very familiar with his classmates, but only Draken himself knew that these ‘familiar’ classmates were strange to him.The original host’s memory was still the original host’s memory.In Draken’s eyes, these ‘familiar’ classmates were just the original host’s familiar classmates.Earlier, when York, as the class president, had planned to lead by example and cover the retreat of Draken and the other ‘ordinary students,’ Draken’s heart had been shaken.That ‘I’m the class monitor after all!’ It was like a heavy hammer that smashed the barrier in Draken’s heart.Although York phrased it nicely, the result of staying behind to cover while they retreat was death.Did York not know? Of course, he knew!Even so, York still decided to bring up the rear. Even though he was also very afraid and ev

    "Are there candidates nearby? And are they still alive?" The director's astonishment was palpable.Though the Myriad Beast Mountain teemed with examinees and a plethora of missing patrolling martial artists, most were only at the pulsing realm level. Despite their prowess, they were no match for the numerous level nine Martial Apprentices among the dead demonic beasts and demons littering the terrain.While the patrolling martial artists might have had the upper hand in individual skirmishes, they were ill-equipped to handle the sheer volume of adversaries. Furthermore, the irregular distribution of fatal wounds on the corpses hinted that human intervention was unlikely, both during and after the chaos.Upon inspecting the corpses, the director noted a glaring absence: no materials had been harvested from the demon beasts or devils, suggesting that no martial artist had ventured into this area. Thus, the only plausible explanation was that the examinees were responsible, as these corp

    "Students, it's mealtime."In Grade 12 Class 4 of Yonkers, the form teacher, Li Bingdao, appeared weary as he brought forty-four boxes of food into the classroom using his vitality.The martial arts exam still lingered, and the rescue mission persisted. All rescued students remained in the classroom, awaiting the return of their missing classmates.The education division and Bactria's higher-ups acknowledged the profound psychological impact on the students and sought to compensate them. Hence, during the seven days leading to the exam's conclusion, all rescued students received specially provided meals from each city. The provisions included top-grade demonic beast meat, spirit energy vegetables, nourishing herbs, and even blood-red rice. It was a luxurious affair, an attempt to assuage their collective guilt.The incident exposed a glaring flaw in the martialThey feared their hopes for the year might vanish within the next two days.Perched safely on the tree, they sensed no immine

    The university admissions agents started arguing loudly.Draken stood there watching them fight over which of them would win him over to attend their school but deep inside, he was not interested.Draken had other ambitions. He didn’t want to take the normal journey anymore, as he had been through things none of them could bear.The homeroom teacher noticed and hurried over. "Draken, hurry and choose which school you want to attend!"The admissions agents quieted down and turned to Draken.Draken replied calmly, "Thank you for your offers, but I want to try to create my own academy into the top-ranked space for talents."Everyone fell silent.Draken had thought about this for a while and knew it was his goal. With his talent and strength, he felt he should aim for the best school in the country.The other admissions agents quickly tried to change his mind."Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?""Berserk College didn’t even send anyone to invite you.

    When Gaffa announced Draken as first place, the entire room fell silent.Everyone thought they misheard, but recalling Draken’s performance, they realized it made sense.Class Two students cheered collectively.“Draken is amazing!”“He’s the pride of F-level talent!”“Number one in the entire state! Draken made a miracle happen!”The students in other classes had mixed emotions. They didn’t feel great knowing the top student was from another class.“Prepare for the second stage of the exam, now we will have a halftime break,” Gaffa said.The mages began to rest as they stopped their formations. The students returned to their classrooms to rest.Draken also went back to his class to rest. Many people approached him, curious about his strength improvement.“Draken, how did you get so strong?”“Yeah, how can an F-level talent improve so quickly? Any tips for us?”“I understand Draken comes from a low-income family and can’t afford good equipment and potions. He’s extraordinary to have im

    Draken turned to Lord Luke and said, “The exam rules require me to accept the first two matches. If I win, I can choose whether to accept the next match.”“I also have the right to pick my opponent.”Lord Luke frowned and asked, “Are you saying you’re rejecting my challenge? Are you a coward?”Draken glanced at the black horse behind Luke. Using his Eye of Truth, he saw the horse’s stats.Night Spirit HorseAttack: 40Speed: 700Health: 930Mana: 100Defense: 200 The horse’s speed and health were impressive. Draken thought having this horse would make his travels easier. Although cars existed in this world, rare mounts like this were more valuable.Draken decided it would be great to have this horse. “Lord Luke, if you want to fight me, you must place a bet.”“If I win, I get your horse!”Luke clenched his teeth. The horse was his prized possession. How did it quit just like that? But he thought beating an F-level talent would be easy, so he agreed.“No problem, but what if you lose?

    Draken activated his Split Claw skill, and in an instant, he destroyed all the vampire bats flying towards him!Everyone watching was shocked.“What just happened? Did he really kill all those bats in a split second?”“This doesn’t seem like F-level strength.”“These bats are Lord Nazzy’s strongest attack, and Draken just blew right through them!”Even Lord Nazzy himself was stunned. He knew how powerful his vampire bats were, and normal attacks wouldn’t usually harm them much.Lord Nazzy glanced at Draken and started to rethink Draken’s power. Seeing Draken’s sharp claws made him nervous. He realized he might not be able to beat Draken.Draken, not wanting to waste time, charged at Lord Nazzy. Seeing Draken rush at him, Lord Nazzy tried to run away, but Draken was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Draken was right in front of him.“Damn it. He’s too quick!” Lord Nazzy shouted in shock.“Didn’t you say you found me a grave?” Draken asked coldly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”Draken sa

    Akpi was shocked by Draken’s words.He quickly backed away, trying to put some distance between them.“Why aren’t my attacks working?” Akpi wondered aloud.After thinking for a moment, he reassured himself, “You must have focused all your training on defense. That has to be it. Your attack, speed, and health must be much weaker than mine.”Confident once again, Akpi decided he could break through Draken’s defenses with his speed over time.Just then, Draken’s figure flickered and vanished!In a flash, Draken reappeared right in front of Akpi.Akpi’s eyes widened in disbelief. Draken’s speed was faster than his!Draken raised his right hand, which transformed into a powerful dragon claw. His muscles expanded, scales emerged, and five sharp claws gleamed menacingly.Akpi was stunned. How could such a fierce-looking dragon claw be considered the weakest F-level talent?Swallowing hard, Akpi stammered, “Bro, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things…”Draken remained calm. “I told you

    Gaffa stood in the center of the formation and shouted, “Start now! Find your opponents! You have one minute!”Immediately, more than half of the male students in Class Two locked their eyes on Draken and moved toward him.One student rushed forward and yelled, “Draken! Let me be your opponent!”This made the others panic. They all wanted to face Draken and didn't expect someone to cut in line.“Draken, come and fight me. I’ll be gentle!”“Draken, we used to be friends. Let me have this opportunity!”“Grant me this opportunity, and I’ll make it up to you!”The scene was chaotic as everyone rushed toward Draken. He gave a faint smile, finding it ironic how they had just comforted him in class. Their hypocrisy was now clear.A quick-footed student reached Draken first. “I’m the first here. I’m Draken’s opponent. The rest of you are too late!” he announced proudly, thinking his ranking would improve easily.The others stopped, filled with regret.“This guy sure runs fast!”“I missed it.

    Draken arrived just in time for the exams, causing his homeroom teacher to sigh with relief."Make sure you're prepared for the exams," the teacher advised."Given your abilities, you'll need to work extra hard.""Don't worry, I've prepared," Draken responded, and went into the classroom.His classmates offered words of encouragement."Draken, you can do it! Even though you're not the most talented, we can all see how hard you work. Don't give up. Some of us have even less talent, but we're still trying our best."Draken smiled and replied, "Thanks, everyone. Let's all aim for good results."The homeroom teacher then explained the new exam rules. The country was divided into two main branches: the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Culture.As more dangerous beasts appeared, the Ministry of War appointed a new head of the Ministry of Culture's education sector, a young military officer named Gaffa.Known for his strict and tough personality, Gaffa had made significant changes to the

    Mikey looked at Draken in surprise. "Are you really a student?"Draken shrugged. "Why would I lie about that?"Mikey rubbed his forehead and exhaled deeply, realizing he had met a genius.He sighed with relief, glad about his decision at the auction.Then, he smiled brightly. "Draken, follow me. I'll take you to choose a golden skill stone tablet."Draken followed him without hesitation.Mikey took Draken to an ancient stone door which was had in it a modern scanner. Mikey walked in and was scanned, and the heavy door slowly opened, and a brilliant golden light shone from inside."Go in and pick a skill you like," Mikey said as Draken stoodon one spot.Draken walked in, and the golden light faded.Draken saw tall display cabinets filled with golden skill tablets. He felt overwhelmed, not knowing which one to choose.He thought about what abilities he needed next and found out that he did not have control skills.He spotted a control skill called [Uppercut], which seemed perfect for hi

    Once Mikey from the Opus Deities made his bid, no one else continued.After confirming three times, the auctioneer announced that Mikey was the winner!“The auction’s winner is Sir Mikey of the Opus Deities!”“Let’s give Sir Mikey a big round of applause!”The applause was loud. Mikey had a strong reputation as a member of the Opus Deities.Everyone stood up and congratulated Mikey respectfully.Mikey paid them little attention and went straight to the second floor to Charlotte’s office.At that moment, Draken was sitting across from Charlotte in the office, handing over the 50 White Spirit Flowers.“I’ve finished the previous quest.”Charlotte counted the flowers, smiled, and said, “Everything looks good. I’ll transfer 100,000 to your account right away.”Draken nodded. With the new 100,000, he had a total of 160,000.The office door opened, and Mikey walked in.“Miss Charlotte, I won the auction.”He said this with a smile and then noticed Draken.“He… is Erebus?”Charlotte quickly
