Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Leveling Up 30 Times, Gaokao Ends

In the Abyss.

Su Muyu’s eyes were calm as she was under attack by five Black Beetles surrounding her. She knew her husband would definitely take first place this time.

But she couldn’t relax.

At the very least, she had to outperform Fang Ruxue and get second place in the high school examination, otherwise...

People would feel she wasn’t worthy of her husband.

”The future will show me that all the Black Beetles will die; it must be my husband’s Plague Doctor at work. I am on the other side of the outpost and can hold out until the last moment.”

Su Muyu murmured to herself. She had already used her Talent to foresee this in the morning.

She knew that today’s ’future’ was that all the Black Beetles would be wiped out, and the source was Shen Fei’s Plague Doctor, so she followed the guidance of the ’future’ and moved in the opposite direction, leaving the monitoring area.

”Roar!”

The Flame Demon Commander clenched its fists, which were like fists of molten lava, charging towards a Black Beetle, swinging its lava-filled fists.

”Boom!”

The Black Beetle was about to retaliate, and the other four Black Beetles also started to pounce towards Su Muyu.

But in an instant, Su Muyu had already seen through all the changes.

The green flames danced in her hands, and fire suddenly erupted from the ground around her. At the same time, the Flame Demon Commander turned completely green, its speed suddenly increasing, and punched a Black Beetle.

Immediately burning it to charcoal.

At the same time.

The long whip in Su Muyu’s hand turned into numerous strands, each accurately striking the joints of the Black Beetles’ leg joints that attempted to pounce on her.

And these were their extremely fragile spots, causing their pouncing bodies to...

At the same time, the flames on the ground, like bombs accumulating their power, exploded into columns of fire.

Savagely striking the bellies of the four Black Beetles.

The force of the fire pillars sent the Black Beetles flying.

At the same time.

The Flame Demon Commander turned around, letting out a roar, and swiftly killed the Black Beetles that had completely lost control of themselves.

Afterwards, Su Muyu glanced at the time on her watch.

”Now, many people should not be able to find any Black Beetles.”

...

Su Muyu’s prediction was not wrong.

The first ones to suffer were the Professionals exiting from the outpost.

”Where have all the Black Beetles gone?” Fang Ruxue walked across the wasteland, complaining. She hadn’t seen any Black Beetles for a while, and those she saw were all corpses.

The critical part is.

Next to these Black Beetles were abandoned pieces of equipment that no one had claimed, implying that the person who killed them likely did so from a great distance.

They were not even bothered to collect the equipment.

Another issue was that all the Black Beetles Fang Ruxue encountered along the way died in the same manner, with their bodies almost entirely gray and white, their originally tough shells appearing as if they had been dead for a long time.

”Could someone have used some method to kill all these Black Beetles?”

...

It wasn’t just her; many other students felt the same way. They even noticed that the previously noisy environment had suddenly become quiet.

It was as though they had entered a forest devoid of any life.

They naturally noticed the gray-white corpses of the Black Beetles and were puzzled about why these Black Beetles had died.

Meanwhile, Shen Fei, who initiated it all, glanced at the terrifying screen of notifications, momentarily glowing with an upgrade light, and then again shortly after.

[You have killed a Level 32 Abyssal Creature ’Black Beetle,’ EXP +6%]

[You have killed a Level 33 Abyssal Creature ’Black Beetle,’ EXP +6%]

...

[Your Level has increased to: Level 29]

...

[Your Level has increased to: Level 30]

[You cannot level up further; additional experience gained will be halved and stored in the experience pool, with a maximum cap of 5 levels]

[You have killed a Level 31 Abyssal Creature ’Black Beetle,’ EXP +2%, experience added to the pool]

...

Shen Fei stretched, the Abyss really is a treasure trove.

This is the Abyss.

”Time to head back.”

Shen Fei looked at the watch on his wrist; only half a day remained until the combat phase ended, so it was about time to return.

This was also part of his plan, not to end the match too early.

The ’Insect-Annihilating Plague’ was sure to disrupt some of the participants, especially since there were no Black Beetles left, making it impossible for them to earn points.

However, the combat phase itself is influenced by many factors.

If one blames failing the exam on this, then even without Shen Fei’s ’Insect-Annihilating Plague,’ they wouldn’t score high.

Suddenly, the Empress cast the Five Elements Great Escape, enveloping everyone, and transformed into Spiritual Light, heading towards the Abyss defense line.

...

After a while.

The Abyss defense line came into Shen Fei’s view, and there were already people inside the defense line.

Many examinees from the outpost, having found no Black Beetles, began returning to the defense line.

After Shen Fei landed, he scanned around to find Su Muyu hadn’t returned yet.

”Returning examinees can go to the resting zone to rest, waiting for the combat phase to officially end!”

Someone from the Breaking Abyss Army appeared, reminding them.

Although Shen Fei wasn’t tired, sitting in the resting zone sounded good to him. After reaching the resting zone, he saw a group of people sitting directly on the ground.

Though their faces were fatigued, some even appearing extremely disheveled with wounds, their faces were relaxed.

”We survived.”

Tang Yann sighed, and his words resonated with all the examinees, whether due to temporary excitement or aiming for high exam scores.

They all gained a basic impression of the Abyss.

It is an even more terrifying place compared to dungeons or the Abyss Edge; Abyssal Creatures are omnipresent here.

Even while resting, one might be devoured by suddenly appearing Insect Race creatures.

”You wouldn’t believe it, damn. As I was just about to rest, two Black Beetles appeared immediately, almost eating me!”

”Unbearable, the experience of these three days is something I can boast about for a lifetime.”

”So this is the Abyss. In the past, Wu Xia’s portrayal of the Abyss was too peaceful, only reporting the good and not the bad.”

”I wonder who will get second place this time, Fang Ruxue or Su Muyu?”

”It’s hard to say, by the way, did you check out that outpost? Damn, I never expected someone our age to be so terrifying!”

”I saw it, too, damn, it’s incredible that it was all caused by one person.”

These examinees were mostly teenagers, and although they had reflections upon surviving, they quickly emerged from the brief heavy atmosphere, starting to chat with familiar faces about their three-day experiences.

Tang Yann looked around and spotted that familiar figure, letting out a sigh of relief and walking over, ”Are you okay?”

Bai Qingzhao glanced at Tang Yann, ”I’m fine.”

”By the way, did you encounter those dead Black Beetles later? Could it have been Shen Fei’s doing too?”

”Who else could have done it besides him?”

Wuu Yuan also came over, curling her lips.

At this moment, Tang Yann’s eyes lit up, raising his hand to wave, ”Shen Fei, over here!”

Seeing Tang Yann greeting him, Shen Fei walked over. After all, they had made some trades before, and they were all from the South China Area.

He wouldn’t completely ignore them.

After all, it wasn’t him who lost out prior.
