System Break the Limit - Qing Shandian' Journey
Ch.73 - Hunt 1

Ice Crystal Sky Monkey

After collecting and removing all the resources and treasures of Qin Laohu, the orange glow in the western horizon was welcomed. Qing Shandian directly led his group towards the deepest area of the ancient relic site.

The Qing Shandian group's destination was a vast plain covered in thin snow, with tall and lush trees growing neatly. In this place, the population of Spiritual Beasts was the densest.

Amongst the sea of trees, Qing Shandian and his group were seen stalking a large herd of Cla.s.s 3 and 4 Spiritual Beasts from quite a distance away. Qing Shandian looked at his group, then said in a serious voice. "Our hunt will take place in this deepest area until the competition is over. Mingzhou, your duty remains as the main attacker. Zhifang, Huang Yang, you join him. Huo Tian, Wanglu, you as the support of the three of them. As for Xue Jia, Yinxue, Yuezhi, Miyue, you guys please gather the Spiritual Beasts they killed. In the meantime, I'll be hunting too. But I'll be a little far away from you. So, we're gonna run a double hunting system. That way, we will quickly catch up and collect more points. If there's anything you want to ask, don't hesitate, just say it."

Qing Shandian's group exchanged a moment's glance. Sun Mingzhou looked at Qing Shandian with an anxious look, and hesitantly said, "Shandian, are you sure you want to hunt alone? Wouldn't it be better if we worked together?"

"Calm down.. I understand your worries. But, if I join you guys, you guys might not be out of the game. I changed our original plan a little bit because I thought it was much more efficient. Besides, I won't be too far from you. I'll monitor you with my shadow clones. So that if something unexpected happens, I will be able to directly appear in your position. Besides, we only have until the sun goes down. We don't have to bother hunting just for the sake of points. We also need to rest. So, you guys stay careful. No one is careless. I want everyone to be safe." Qing Shandian spoke in a relaxed tone as he looked at them warmly.

"Huhhhhhhhhhhh... Alright. Since you've already decided so, let's do it as per your arrangement. Even though you may be strong, be careful. Don't push yourself too much. Remember that you still have us as friends and also as a team member." Shi Zhifang let out a long sigh as he echoed Qing Shandian's words.

"Guusshh"

Qing Shandian created a single clone with his technique. He looked at his group calmly as he said, "My shadow clone will follow you guys. You can take a forward direction, while I'll take a left direction. When I'm done, I'll meet you. Beware of everything." Quite frankly before then he darted out quickly, twinkling like a shooting star.

When Qing Shandian's shadow was completely invisible, Sun Mingzhou looked at all of his comrades and spoke. "alright. We also have to start the hunt. Remember, points are the second thing. Prioritize security. Let's go." He then darted straight ahead, followed by Shi Zhifang, Xie Huang Yang, Meng Wanglu, Yuan Huo Tian, Wang Xue Jia, Zhi Miyue, Xing Yuezhi and Bao Yinxue.

"Crass..Crassh..Crassh..Crassh.."

"Mzri-ky..Cringg..Cringg..Cringg..Grimang.."

Amongst the large herd of 4th Class 'Steel Clawed Crystal Piers' Spiritual Beasts, it was seen Qing Shandian was currently lunging around and frolicing dancing together with the 'Wind Lightning Flying Sword' in his grasp, accompanied by the shadow of a flying sword that was also dancing to slaughter the herd one by one quickly. With his current strength, perhaps only a handful of cultivators or Spiritual Beasts could become opponents of Qing Shandian.

"Waltw.... Trong..Trong..Tringg.."

"Crass..Crassh..Crassh..Crassh.."

"Groorrr..Groorr..Groorr..Groorr..Groorr.."

The sound of claw and sword clashing, the sound of slashing, the sound of roars, the sound of mutual disdain formed a series of heartbreaking melodies. The corpses of the Spiritual Beasts lapped one after another, strewn in all directions, with blood flowing soaking the ground covered by a thin layer of snow, turning it red.

Qing Shandian's massacre only lasted for a few minutes, before then Qing Shandian immediately enveloped all the corpses of the 'Steel Clawed Crystal Pills' with his spiritual power, then transferred them to the soul world. Simultaneously too, the sound of notification rang out in his mind.

[Dinging... Start counting... An gege managed to kill 800 'Crystal Bear Claw Steel' Grade 3 Intermediate Levels, 500 Grade 3 High Levels, Gain 2.16 Trillion PS, gain 1.08 Trillion PP]

[Dinging... An gege managed to kill 260 Low Level 4 Class 4 Clawed Steel Crystal Pears, earning 2.6 Trillion PS, earning 1.3 Trillion PP]

[Dinging... An gege managed to kill 80 'Bears of Crystal Claw Steel' Grade 4 Intermediate Levels, earning 2 Trillion PS, earning 1 Trillion PP]

[Dinging... Total Current System Points \= 157.175.377.222.000 PS]

[Dinging... Accumulated Experience Points 24.316255 Trillion/400 Trillion PP]

"Huhhh... Really a long road. But I have to be satisfied with this result. Then... The next one." Qing Shandian let out a long sigh when he heard the notice. He smiled wryly as he muttered softly, before then he darted back quickly lunging forward.

...…………………………...

Meanwhile, along with the massacre carried out by Qing Shandian, outside the ancient heritage site many people were wide-eyed and agape in surprise when they saw the monitoring monument. It was clear that the Eastern Conference point, which had originally remained 0, had quickly skyrocketed to break through the 91,000-point mark, and it continued to rise before finally stopping at 143,500 points.

In the group of Middle Region representative leaders, Juan Jixun's body was seen trembling. He was so shocked that he could not comment.

On the Eastern Region side, the eight Clan Leaders also experienced the same shock. However, a moment after that they regained their senses and finally laughed out loud. In between his laughter, Xing Lihai said, "Very good.. Extraordinary.. Haha... It was very unexpected that they very quickly caught up. Even entering second position."

"You're right. Indeed, we as parents have to sit quietly waiting patiently. Hmmmm.. That's really quite a surprise.. Haha." Wang Xiu's voice was followed by his laughter.

Bao Biyu, Shi Huang, Meng Xuan, Yuan Rufeng, Zhi Mingjun and Xie Jiu Ling only replied with a nod. They were obviously curious about what Qing Shandian and his group were actually doing to be able to break through such a high number.

Because of that laughter and chatter, everyone finally came to a realization. Dong Jun immediately turned his gaze towards Xing Lihai and the other seven people. In a deep voice he said, "It was completely unexpected, that your representative was able to reverse position. I was very curious about what they were doing since the start of the competition."

Xing Lihai immediately turned his head, looked at Dong Jun and said, "Emperor Dong, we here are also just as curious as what they have done. In my opinion, if not hunting a large herd of Spiritual Beasts, it was obvious to earn as many points as that was impossible. Other than that, we have no other thoughts. Whatever it is, it's still a shock."

"I have the same thoughts as you. Just, what kind of place did they visit? Could they be entering the deepest area?" Sahut Dong Jun was confused and curious, while then returning to focus on the Monitoring Monument.

"Uhh.. Emperor Dong, even your Empire is only able to gather a little information. Then, how could they penetrate the deepest area? Moreover, no one knew, what kind of Spiritual Beast was in the deepest area right?" Wang Xiu said. He was also overwhelmed by confusion and curiosity.

...…………………………...

Back to the competition venue, where Qing Shandian was currently located. He was still calmly darting fast using his 'Step Falling Star' technique. He walked down a misty ravine with a high and steep cliff on his left right side, and was covered in a thin layer of ice.

A moment later, he halted his movements and stood quietly behind the boulder while staring at the Spiritual Beast herd not too far away from him. After a momentary observation, Qing Shandian learned that it was a herd of 'Ice Crystal Celestial Ape'. The ape was pale blue with fangs and long horns. It said 'The sky' because they were able to turn their Spiritual Qi into a wing, thus allowing them to fly.

Qing Shandian smiled faintly. He seems very interested in them. Then with calm steps he walked towards the herd of 'Ice Crystal Celestial Ape'.

On the flank of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey', when they heard the sound of the clattering of steps, they immediately turned their gaze towards the source of the sound. Then, a great ape leaped forward, and arrived quickly, standing twenty meters in front of Qing Shandian. He did not directly attack, as Qing Shandian did not in the least give off an aura of hostility and killing aura. He growled lightly, then said, "Grrr.... Human boy, why did you come to my place?"

Qing Shandian looked up slightly. He looked at the ape and said in a serious voice. "It just so happens that you as the leader are coming. So I don't have to waste time looking for you. I'll be straightforward. I want you and all your members to be my followers."

"Haha... Followers say? Your human boy is really funny. You suddenly came and wanted me and all my members to be your followers? Really - really silly. I will not kill you because you have no hostile intentions. So, go human boy. Don't interrupt my break." The leader of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey' was stunned when he heard Qing Shandian's remark and immediately laughed loudly before he spoke.

"Say... What do you want you and all your members to be my followers. I don't have much time to waste." Qing Shandian said still with his calm demeanor.

"Grpv... Human boy, don't test my patience. Go then! I won't be easy if you keep pushing me." Sahut Leader of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey' while growling and speaking in an annoyed and furious tone.

Qing Shandian shook his head lightly. He let out his other aura, then said, "I've already said my intentions in a good way. But, since you still insist on refusing, then I won't be easy anymore."

"Guusshh"

"Holy Driver of the Universe! The rage of the Universe Lightning Dragon! Wail on!" Qing Shandian immediately took out his strongest technique when he had floated in the sky.

"Rawwrrrrr"

When his voice ended, a vortex of black clouds wrapped in three-colored lightning suddenly appeared above the area of the swarm of 'Ice Crystal Celestial Ape', then a gigantic lightning dragon head slowly came out from the vortex and roared loudly.

The leader of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey' and all of its members stared intently at the gigantic lightning dragon that shot out from within the vortex of black clouds. They were clearly shocked and felt a chill on their backs.

Qing Shandian gazed down towards the herd of 'Ice Crystal Celestial Ape', he was indifferent to their reactions. Then in a cold tone he said, "Last chance. Do you and your members want to be my followers in good order, or be wiped out without rest?"

"Grpfr... Human boy, you are so sassy! Do you think I'm afraid of just your little technique? Hmph!!" The 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey' leader snarled furiously, then let out a cold snort, before then he floated in the sky.

"Room Storm! Ice Crystal Tornado!" Continuing the Leader of the 'Ice Crystal Sky Monkey' took out his technique.

When the remark ended, thousands of pointy ice crystals quickly formed, then spun around at high speed forming a tornado, and immediately lunged towards Qing Shandian.

"Haha.. Very exciting! Let's take a look. My Lightning Dragon, or your Ice Crystal Tornado that survives to the very end. Destroy for me!" Qing Shandian laughed merrily when he saw the bravery of the 'Snow Sky Ape' Leader wanting to collide techniques.

"Rawwrrrr"

"Cumshhhh"

"Zzzzzz.tt.... Booommmmm-s"

"Aahhhh"

"Baammm"

When the two techniques clashed, it instantly shrank into a high compressed energy before then exploding, giving rise to a wild storm of raging energy. It was seen that the leader of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey' bounced away accompanied by his shrill cry, before then hitting the side of the cliff violently. Meanwhile, all the members of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey' scattered in all directions away from the sweep of the energy storm.

"Jederr..Jederr..Jederr..Jederr..Jederr.."

"Rawwrrrrrr"

When the clash happened, Qing Shandian's lightning dragon did not disappear. Rather, it decomposed into a three-colored lightning that crackled in all directions, before then regrouping, forming a gigantic three-colored lightning dragon once again, and roared loudly.

Meanwhile, in the pile of shattered cliff rubble, the leader of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey' crawled out with great difficulty. He moved his body in a limp. Many parts of his body that look charred and decorated with many red wounds. He looked up, looked towards Qing Shandian, then he spoke in a weak yet still audible voice. "I will be.your followers and all my members. Don't. destroy us. We will. serve you as.our master.faithfully."

Qing Shandian did not answer. He quickly darted towards the leader of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey' and stood quietly before him, then said, "It should be from the beginning that you say this, so that you don't have to be seriously injured. Do you think I used all my strength? If so, then you and all your members must have been wiped out." Quote before then immediately start the process of planting the contract seal.

A moment later, a star moon symbol appeared on the forehead of the leader of the 'Ice Crystal Celestial Monkey', before then disappearing. Qing Shandian took out the 'Vitality Restoration Pill and Spiritual Beast Durability' and passed it to the leader of the 'Heaven Snow Monkey'. He said, "Tow and absorb the pill. It will restore you to peak condition. I'll wait for you." Quite frankly, before then he slightly moved away and sat down cross-legged calmly.
