While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

The office building is dilapidated, with walls being torn down and used as weapons from time to time, or old and rotten desks and chairs catching fire, as if they could collapse at any moment.

Flames were flying everywhere, steel bars were stuck in the ground, and bricks were smashed all over the place—it was complete chaos.

Yang Ding could only make a simple distinction by looking at the leather jackets of the law enforcement team.

The parasites were also very cunning. They didn't fight head-on, but instead shouted while fighting, "I'm a student at the Jiangling University's Supernatural Abilities Academy, not a parasite. Big brother, don't kill the wrong person."

"Then stop and let us take your temperature."

Law enforcement officers were also afraid of being punished for killing a student.

"You're carrying knives, how do you know if you're from the law enforcement team or a parasite?"

"Have you ever fucking seen a Parasite use a knife?"

As soon as the team member finished speaking, a steel bar protruded from the wall and pierced his temple.

He didn't even have time to close his eyes.

The lieutenant leading the team was so frightened that he quickly moved away from the wall, feeling guilty even while standing on the floor.

"General Zhao has ordered that students of Jiangling University are not allowed to leave the city. There are only law enforcement officers and parasites outside the city. Anyone not in uniform will be killed without mercy. Don't make a sound."

As everyone knows, many students went hunting.

But the rules are there; if you are mistakenly killed by law enforcement, you will die in vain.

"Kill this guy."

The second lieutenant leading the team, with a plastic shield in his right hand and a standard-issue knife in his right, charged towards the metal-type parasite. After taking only a few steps, the floor beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, and he fell directly to the 19th floor.

"Lieutenant, are you alright?"

"Watch out, there are earth-type enemies too."

Inside the building, martial artists with insufficient cultivation levels are no match for those with superpowers; there are pitfalls everywhere.

This group of team members is probably only at the second rank or above.

More than a dozen law enforcement officers rushed towards the metal-type parasites, but they were all outmaneuvered by the earth-type parasites hiding in the shadows. Their legs got stuck in the holes, or they were hit by falling ceiling tiles. The metal-type parasites only needed to finish them off.

Seeing that these two had killed four or five law enforcement officers in a short time, Yang Ding found the hiding place of the metal parasite, moved the gap behind its head, and shattered its cervical vertebrae with a thrusting motion.

The metal-type parasite collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Who?"

The earth-type parasite didn't even see how its companion died.

They also lack night vision and can only rely on flashlights for illumination.

Just as Yang Ding was about to collect the beast crystals, the squad leader of Class 3 rushed in and kicked the corpse to his comrade.

"Pry out the beast crystal."

He then went to attack the earth-type parasitic beast.

The earth-type parasite retreated while trying to use the same trick again, but it was clearly not working on the team leader.

Even if the floor beneath his feet collapses, he can easily leap back up.

Even if the entire ceiling collapses, he can either smash it with a single punch or withstand it with his head; concrete hardly harms him.

The top three groups in Class A, totaling fifty or sixty people, are said to all have cultivation levels around the lower fourth rank, making them the pinnacle of martial arts students at Jiangling University.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will be accepted into the Northern Legion after this semester.

The other team members took out the beast crystals and followed after them.

Yang Ding was dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, this is my beast crystal."

He chased after them.

The earth-type parasite realized it had met its match and fled in a frenzy.

As soon as it rushed into the stairwell, the lieutenant who caught up with it chopped off its head with a single blow.

Just as the lieutenant was about to reach out to pry open the parasite, he was kicked away by the squad leader of Squad 3.

"Cough cough..." He stood up, clutching his chest, and looked at the group leader of Class 2, "Are you a martial artist?"

"That's right, it's from the Martial Arts Academy. This beast crystal is mine."

"Yours? Do you know how many of my brothers have died?"

"That's none of my business, I just want the beast crystal."

The lieutenant was immediately enraged. As a superior, if he didn't make some money from selling beast crystals, where would the families of the fallen soldiers get their compensation?

"You greenhorn students, who gave you permission to leave the city and fight with the law enforcement team for resources? Get the hell back here!"

The team leader of Class 3 let out a cold laugh and arrogantly walked towards the earth-type parasitic beast.

The lieutenant pointed his knife at him, "Don't push your luck. General Zhao has ordered that anyone not wearing uniform be treated as a parasite. If I kill you, no one will speak up for you."

The squad leader of Squad 3 sneered, "Do you have the ability? At your age, if you can't go to the North to serve in the army, you're a useless piece of trash for life."

"Fuck!"

The lieutenant didn't hold back either, launching a thunderous sword attack at the squad leader of Squad 3.

The squad leader of Squad 3 did not dodge or give way, but grabbed the back of his knife and kicked the lieutenant away, sending him crashing into the wall.

The wall collapsed with a crash. The squad leader of Squad 3 dodged and pounced on the lieutenant, locking his neck and lifting him off the ground.

The two have a huge difference in strength. The upper second-grade realm only requires 8200 jin of strength, while breaking through to the lower fourth-grade realm requires 22 jin of strength. It's like night and day.

"You didn't cherish the opportunity I was given. Anyone who stands in my way to the capital must die."

He pried a brick out of the wall and smashed it hard on the lieutenant's head.

A lieutenant with that level of skill could not possibly withstand being hit by a brick.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, "Do you know the consequences of your massacre of your own people?"

Worried that the lieutenant wasn't quite dead, the squad leader of Squad 3 smashed it ten more times in a row.

Yang Ding saw all of this clearly through the gap.

He was utterly shocked. This guy actually killed law enforcement officers for a single earth-type beast crystal. That was just too damn brutal.

Soon after, the members of Group A3 arrived.

They looked at the strangulation marks on the lieutenant's neck. "Team leader, you didn't do this, did you?"

"Of course not, his head was smashed with a brick. That earth-type parasite was the real culprit."

Seeing that his team members were skeptical, he pointed to the earth-type parasitic beast.

"Go and retrieve the beast crystals quickly. The rest of you, search the building. There are definitely more than two in this building."

"Yes."

As soon as everyone turned around, he pushed down the entire wall and buried the lieutenant.

All the team members knew what had just happened, but they didn't say anything and didn't intend to tell anyone.

Acquiring a large amount of beast crystals and competing for the top spot is the top priority.

One of the team members handed the earth-type beast crystal he had dug out, along with the gold-type beast crystal, to the team leader.

"Captain Jiang, you've made a great start tonight."

Team Leader Jiang took the beast crystal and put it in his pants pocket. "Hmm, with our strength, we must earn one million tonight."

Yang Ding stared at his pants pocket, scratching his head, trying to figure out how to get his hands on it.

If this guy is only at the fourth rank of cultivation, he won't be so easy to deal with.

He had never killed his own kind to steal beast crystals before.

"There's fighting going on upstairs, hurry!"

Just as Team Leader Jiang led his team members to charge forward, the lieutenant's men arrived at the scene.

They went upstairs without noticing the lieutenant's body.

Yang Ding controlled the void rift and followed, determined to steal all of Team Leader Jiang's beast crystals for tonight and make the guy suffer in silence.
