You said you'd fail to awaken your powers, but you're actually a master of top-tier abilit

"Professor Zhao, all the ferocious beasts ahead have been killed, and we can now collect the Demon Source Flowers."

Amidst the deep shock of everyone, Su Ming had already returned to the front of the group, removed the face covering of the Blazing Sun Suit, and calmly spoke to Zhao Renjie.

His face wore a calm and collected expression, as if the feat of killing dozens of fourth-tier ferocious beasts was insignificant to him.

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Renjie nodded approvingly at Su Ming, then ignored Song Zihan and the others who were still in shock and hadn't recovered, and stepped into the sea of ​​Demon Source Flowers ahead to collect the mature Demon Source Flowers.

"Seniors, you're in charge of disposing of those ferocious beast corpses."

After seeing Zhao Renjie start collecting the Demon Source Flower, Su Ming looked at Song Zihan and Zhang Yang.

"Ah, okay, okay!"

Only then did Song Zihan, Zhang Yang, and Li Hao realize what was happening. They nodded quickly and hurried towards the large pile of ferocious beast corpses ahead.

If all the materials from these fourth-tier ferocious beasts were collected, they could fetch hundreds of millions of dollars outside. Even if the four of them split the money equally, each of them would still receive at least hundreds of millions of credits.

Although credits are not very useful at Magic Sea University, they will come in very handy after they graduate.

While Zhang Yang and his two companions were harvesting materials from the corpses of these fourth-tier ferocious beasts, the four military warriors dispersed to guard the surrounding area, preventing any more ferocious beasts from charging in from afar.

After about an hour, Zhao Renjie had basically finished collecting all the mature Magic Source Flowers.

Zhang Yang and his two companions also finished collecting all the valuable materials from the corpses of all the fourth-tier ferocious beasts.

"Mission accomplished, let's go."

After Zhao Renjie put all the ferocious beast materials into his spatial ring, he spoke to Su Ming and the others.

Seeing this, Su Ming and the others showed no surprise and immediately returned along the same route.

Because Su Ming had cleared out all the ferocious beasts along the way, they encountered very few beasts blocking their path on the way back, and their speed was even faster than when they came.

Half a day later, Su Ming and his group arrived at a narrow canyon section in the middle of the road.

"At this rate, we should be able to return to the outside of Cave 4 before nightfall today."

"Earning 120 credits in two days—this task was easier than I expected!"

Half a day later, Song Zihan looked at the halfway point of the journey and smiled as she spoke to Zhang Yang beside her.

Although she was a little tired from working for more than 30 hours straight, the thought of getting 120 credits when she got back made her excited.

Zhang Yang nodded, his eyes also gleaming with excitement, and said, "That's right, but we were able to get this easy thanks to Junior Brother Su Ming."

"Yes, we didn't even have to lift a finger this time. All the ferocious beasts were killed by Junior Brother Su Ming. When we get back, Junior Brother Su Ming has to take the lion's share of the materials from those beasts."

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, Li Hao immediately nodded in agreement.

Su Ming, who was standing to the side, listened to the three of them talking and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

In terms of gains, he was the one who gained the most from this trip.

Now, his system panel shows that he has accumulated more than 30 enhancement points, more than he has ever had before.

"Stop!"

Just then, Zhao Renjie, who had been calm all along, suddenly frowned, raised his hand sharply, and shouted in a low voice.

Instantly, the entire group came to a halt.

"Professor Zhao, what's wrong?"

The military squad leader in charge of the escort and Zhang Yang looked at Zhao Renjie at almost the same time and asked in deep voices.

Zhao Renjie did not answer immediately, but instead narrowed his eyes and looked at the front of the canyon.

A moment later, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Something is coming from ahead."

As soon as he said this, seemingly to confirm his words, sporadic roars of ferocious beasts could be heard from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a deep, rumbling sound, like rolling thunder, grew louder as it approached, causing the earth in the canyon to tremble.

"This commotion is a beast tide! And it's quite large!"

Upon noticing something amiss, Zhang Yang and the others immediately became serious and took out their weapons to look towards the front of the canyon.

Su Ming also held the Obsidian Spear, and his Blazing Sun Suit moved at will, instantly enveloping his entire body.

Soon, a large cloud of dust appeared ahead, sweeping towards Su Ming and his group like a sandstorm along the canyon.

Beneath the swirling sand and dust, countless ferocious beasts, their eyes bloodshot, roared as they charged forward.

Seeing the astonishing number of ferocious beasts ahead, everyone's expression changed.

Holding a long sword, Song Zihan's pretty face was frosty, her delicate brows furrowed slightly: "How could there be such a large-scale beast tide in this place? Someone must be up to something!"

"The strongest creatures in the No. 4 underground cave in Shanghai are only fifth-tier ferocious beasts. Fifth-tier ferocious beasts do not have the ability to command so many ferocious beasts. This beast tide was most likely deliberately instigated by someone."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded solemnly.

"This beast tide didn't arrive earlier or later, but it appeared in the canyon at this exact moment. It seems someone is targeting us, and their target must be Professor Zhao. Everyone must protect Professor Zhao!"

At this moment, the military leader, a late-stage fourth-tier martial artist, spoke in a serious voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gripped their weapons and gathered around Zhao Renjie.

At this moment, the beast tide was getting closer and closer to the group.

The ground beneath them trembled more violently, and many pebbles tumbled down from the rock walls on either side.

"roar--!"

Leading the charge were several exceptionally large and ferocious beasts.

A giant bull covered in blue scales and with a single horn; a saber-toothed tiger with wings on its ribs and protruding fangs; and a crimson python that roamed the ground, its scales rubbing against the rocks and creating sparks.

The aura and pressure emanating from these three ferocious beasts were clearly at the level of early-stage fifth-order ferocious beasts.

"The three unicorns, the saber-toothed tiger, and the red-scaled python in front are all ferocious beasts at the early stage of the fifth tier. We can't let them charge over."

"Junior Brother Su Ming, let's attack together and stop these three fifth-tier ferocious beasts!"

Zhang Yang looked at the three ferocious beasts at the front, and a serious expression immediately appeared on his face.

The next second, with a thought, a C-grade nano combat suit quickly covered his entire body, and then he charged towards the beast horde in front of him, wielding a long sword.

Although the C-grade combat suit could barely withstand the attacks of a fifth-tier ferocious beast, it could at least reduce the power of the attack.

Seeing Zhang Yang rush out, Su Ming didn't hesitate at all. Holding the obsidian spear, he took a step forward and followed Zhang Yang to attack the three ferocious beasts that were charging at the front.
