You call this a healer?

The blood-red sun slowly rises.

A fog suddenly rose in Black Wind Mountain, obscuring everything in a hazy, indistinct way.

"what……"

A second-realm female deity, draped in a veil, with a fox head, exuding demonic energy and illusions, was decapitated, still tightly clutching a veiled "meat egg" in her arms.

Covered in blood, Zhou Ming appeared to the side, wielding a nearly blunt "scalpel." He looked down at the "meatball," stretched out his right hand, and devoured it.

[Realm +0.1%]

[Non-attribute Strength +0.01]

[One Yuan Fox Fetus +0.3%]

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Not so good.

These wondrous cubs, in theory, absorbed a great deal of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which would be a great tonic for humans. However, the three types of energy they absorbed were far too little.

Is it because the level of understanding is too high?

He stretched, revealing two newly healed scars on his chest, looked around, and squinted.

Last night's "sneak attack" was pretty much as people outside had described. More than 300 genius students from the top ten universities were unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their doom. They plotted an attack, and their plans were very thorough and comprehensive. It was terrifying.

Last night was definitely not as easy as he imagined. His protective shield was broken seven times, and his temporary 500 defense was breached three times.

If it weren't for his superior cultivation level, high defense, and powerful healing abilities, the outcome would have been uncertain.

This made him tone down his arrogance and become more cautious. After all, these people were students who had only recently awakened their powers; their experience, combat skills, strength, and determination were all weak.

If it were any of the many unknown experts of the same or higher realms in the city who were to make a move, even using the "Godslayer Profession" would require temporary avoidance. In particular, the "momentum" unleashed by several Level 3 Order Students last night was extremely troublesome and had already revealed its formidable power.

"103 people remain!"

If he can defeat these 103 people today, and they all become clear-headed and attain enlightenment on the spot, then all the resources of "Black Wind Mountain" will be his alone. Even if the three types of power he "devours" are not ideal, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change.

Thinking of this, a sense of relief appeared on his face, and he headed straight in a certain direction.

A dialog box bubble suddenly appeared:

Damn it, don't go that way, there aren't four people there.

There are seven people in the due west direction.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Zhou Ming's lips.

Innocent!

How do you think I knew you were coming to attack last night?

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the environment is incredibly complex. How do you think I found you so precisely?

What if I had three heads and six arms?

That traitorous "dialogue box" has been misleading me all along!

……

9 o'clock in the morning.

Remaining number of people: 79/1422.

1 pm.

Remaining number of people: 42/1422.

4 pm.

Remaining number of people: 27/1422.

……

Just before nightfall.

The fog gradually dissipated.

Zhou Ming dragged his tired, blood-stained body step by step into a grove of trees.

The remaining hundred or so people today are all cunning old foxes. Their methods, strength, combat skills, and talents as Order Keepers are all exceptionally outstanding. Even when he used all his power as a "Level 4 Healer," it still took him a lot of effort.

As he entered the depths of the forest, his eyes sharpened once more, and he activated his [Protective Shield], while the blunted "Scalpel Combination" danced around him.

Then he saw seven people:

Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, Lin Ya, and Zhong Xiuhe are three roommates.

The seven people looked at him immediately, their faces filled with fear and shame, their eyes looking at him as if he were a stranger.

Liang Bucheng mustered his courage and stood up, angrily saying, "I don't care who you are, get off my brother!"

Bai Muwan sighed as well. All her pride and ambition had vanished. They had heard the cries of agony throughout Black Wind Mountain these past two days clearly. So many geniuses from top universities had perished; she didn't think her seven companions could survive.

He simply closed his eyes: "Fine, let's destroy it. Let's get this over with!"

Lin Ya, Zhong Xiu, and the others also closed their eyes, feeling extremely helpless and depressed.

Only Ye Chen's eyes flickered for a moment. Suddenly, he quietly turned his back and, speaking only to himself, said to a blood-red jade ring hanging around his neck, "Senior, this is a matter of life and death. Can I cultivate those things now?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a hand reached out and ripped off his blood-red jade thumb ring.

Zhou Ming held up the jade thumb ring and examined it carefully in the sunlight.

Ye Chen's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he lost all his strength, collapsing to the ground.

Three full minutes later, Zhou Ming finally looked away from the "blood-red jade ring" and gave him a strange look: "I told you your name was wrong from the beginning. Isn't there... an old man inside? Tell me the truth!"

Ye Chen forced himself to remain calm, even tidying his hair: "That's a protective jade left to me by my maternal grandfather. What old man? You're overthinking it."

"I don't believe it!"

Zhou Ming's expression was solemn. He held the jade thumb ring in his right palm, and a gray vortex appeared. He inhaled it forcefully.

It sucked up nothing!

It's hard to say what this thing is, or if it's just an inanimate object?

He looked at Ye Chen, his expression was off, and he still felt suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, he saw a pile of excrement of some unknown kind not far away. He walked over, stuffed the blood-red jade ring into it, and then squatted down, adopting a defensive posture and waiting silently.

I waited for a full ten minutes, but there was still no movement.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

She took out the jade thumb ring, washed it clean in the nearby stream, tossed it back to Ye Chen, and forced a smile.

"I'm still Zhou Ming. I'm not possessed by a ghost. We're all on the same side, so don't be nervous!"

It was hard for everyone not to be nervous.

Ma Kun asked with a bitter face, "Third brother, why did you do this?"

Lin Ya also mustered her courage and said, "Zhou Ming, you are more outstanding than we imagined, no, you are more outstanding than anyone else. You may very well be the most powerful healer in history."

But why did you do that?

Zhou Ming sat down to the side, looked into the distance for a while, and said with a cold face: "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. Do you know what it feels like to be wrongly accused of cheating by everyone?"

Do you know what it was like when those bastards threatened to kill me in public?

Do you know how much I wanted to utterly crush those self-proclaimed geniuses from the top ten universities when I looked at them?

Ye Chen put the jade thumb ring back on and asked with difficulty, "So you've turned evil? Become unrecognizable to your own family?"

"That's not that bad!"

Zhou Ming yawned. "There's no such thing as turning evil. My mentality is as stable as an old dog. I just think that everyone here is trash. I'll crush you in the mud and then all the opportunities in 'Black Wind Mountain' will be mine alone!"

A few days ago, I used the 'searcher' to search this world and found that there are many base cities similar to Donghai, and there are countless Orderers, including all kinds of geniuses.

There are even more supernatural beings, and their quality is far more terrifying than that of the Ordered Ones. This world is a vast ocean of stars.

Resources are like that; each base uses a little, and that little bit diminishes. Since I have the opportunity to monopolize them all, why should I share them with others? Isn't that stupid?

"?"

Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, and the others were speechless. Could this be explained in this way?

You're so great, of course whatever you say is right. If Ma Kun said that, it would be utter nonsense.

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment: "Have you thought about the outside world...?"

Zhou Ming stood up and interrupted, "Alright, join me. I'll share some resources with you. After all, we still have a day and a night left, and I'm afraid one person won't be enough!"
