Upon sensing the divine dice system's prompt, Zhao Heng's thoughts stirred.
Previously, after killing so many enemies, he hadn't triggered the memory plundering skill. But Liu Feng could trigger it - was this because his strength and soul were stronger?
The dice system prompted that the soul was about to dissipate. Zhao Heng didn't hesitate and directly activated the theft skill.
As the skill triggered, a faint blue light fshed across Zhao Heng's forehead. A white misty light from the area where Liu Feng had been killed was immediately absorbed by the blue light.
Zhao He his brain swell, as if something was merging into his mind. It took nearly tehs before returning to normal.
Rubbing his head and w what had happened, he suddenly noticed twe memories had emerged in his mind.
O of memories was about various spirit herbs. Suddenly, massive herb information flooded his sciousness - names, cultivatiohods, and medial properties became crystal clear, as if he had immersed himself in this field for years.
The other memory segment ed the Stone Shattering Fist. Zhao Heng suddenly gained numerous insights into this teique, its intricacies profound and far beyond the entry-level uanding.
Instinctively, he threw out a Stone Shattering Punch.
"Whoosh...!"
The punch was sharp and powerful, striking an aree. The tree trembled, with half of Zhao Heng's fist embedded in its trunk.
The punch's power had dramatically increased, approag the small achievement level. Zhao Heng believed that by slightly digesting the memories in his mind, he could quickly reach the small achievement realm of the Stone Shattering Fist.
Zhao Heng was shocked. He uood these were results of memory plundering - he hadn't just gained memories, but also the other person's experience.
As for why only these two memory segments remained, he guessed that Liu Feng's soul had already fragmented. For Liu Feng, his years of cultivating spirit herbs and practig the Stone Shattering Fist were his most profound memories, which is why they were stolen.
After once again marveling at the dice system's miraculous skill, Zhao Heng quickly slipped away from this dangerous location.
The sun had already set, and darkness roag. The magical beasts in the examination area began to bee active.
Many were still hunting magical beasts iarry night, desperately accumuting points. Zhao Heng had already found a safe pce to rest and recover.
The previous group's battle with magical beasts had yielded ma ears, ensuring they would definitely pass the examination. As for achieving a higher ranking, Zhao Heng hadn't even sidered it.
Although higher rankings meaer rewards, it would also attrawatention. He didn't want to stand out.
The m, the sect's bronze bell rang, signaling the miseous disciple examination was about to end.
Miseous disciples from various areas gradually emerged, most covered in wounds and exhaustion, carryi ears they had huo exge for points and rankings.
Various area supervisors had long been waiting.
Today, Supervisor Liu was radiant, especially pleased that Zhao Heng had not yet appeared.
"Finally rid of this troublesome kid. I ow sleep peacefully," Liu Hong thought to himself.
However, as time passed and the examination deadline approached, Liu Hong suddenly realized that more than ten disciples from the mining area were still missing - precisely the eighteen people he had sent to deal with Zhao Heng.
Liu Hong began to feel uneasy. His gaze swept through the spirit herb garden area's disciples, but he couldn't find Liu Feher.
"Hmm... Could something have gone wrong?
No, that's impossible. Even if those people couldn't kill Zhao Heng, Liu Feng couldn't have failed. He's already oep into the bone refi realm. Most ninth-level body tempering warriors are no match for him!" Liu Hong thought.
Just as Liu Hong was feeling anxious, a blood-covered figure emerged from the distant forest, staggering and disheveled.
Despite the person's miserable appearance, Liu Hong immediately reized him.
"Zhao Heng!"
This kid actually wasn't dead, and all the people he'd sent to eliminate him had vanished.
"How could this be?"
Although Liu Hong had tless questions, the curreing demanded restraint. He could only watch as Zhao Heng approached the point exge area.
"I... I want to exge points!" Zhao Heng said weakly, stumbling.
He walked with difficulty, carrying a rge package and swaying as if about to colpse. Two w enfort disciples quickly moved to support him.
Zhao Heng was deliberately ag, wanting to appear unimpressive and avoid drawing attention to his smooth examination passage.
The middle-aged supervisor casually waved his hand. "Open his package."
Everyone assumed that given his apparent injuries from hunting a first-level magical beast, his achievements would be mediocre.
However, when the package opeo reveal a full colle of beast ears, everyone was stuhe point exge supervisor, the distant Liu Hong, and even the miseous disciple peak's chief supervisor Zhou g all cast surprised looks.
Instantly, dozens to hundreds of eyes locked onto Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng's heart trembled. "What's happening? Did I fail the examination?"
After quickly ting the beast ears, the middle-aged supervisor spoke with a strange expression:
"Twenty-five pairs of beast ears, two hundred and fifty points. Young man, gratutions on passing the examination. You're rahird overall."
"What!"
Upon hearing his ranking, the previously weak Zhao Heng suddenly jolted, nearly throwing off the two supp w enfort disciples.
"Don't get too excited. Your performance is quite good," the middle-aged supervisor tried to fort him.
Zhao Heng's mouth twitched. In his mind, he was thinking: "How is this possible? I've been sleeping si night and even abahirty pert of my beast ears. How could I still rank third? The other miseous disciples 't be this inpetent."
If others heard his ihoughts, they might want to kill him.
Humans and magical beasts had i physical differences, and hunting same-level magical beasts was extremely challenging. Not everyone had martial teiques or would use tactics like Zhao Heng's stone lime strategy.
A typiinth-level body tempering warrior killing more than ten magical beasts in a day would already be sidered impressive. As for spirit herbs, this area had long been picked and was rare to find.
The bme y in Zhao Heng's rapid strength improvement and ck of uanding of the examination's details, leading to his misjudgment.
The situation became somewhat bizarre, with Zhao Heng's pn to remain low-key pletely failing.
At this moment, a cold voice rang out:
"Zhao Heng, with your strength, it's impossible you could hunt this many magical beasts. You must have cheated!"
Everyouro look. The speaker was her than the mining area supervisor, Liu Hong.
With this statement, everyone began casting suspicious g Zhao Heng.
Ihe other two iop three rankings were outstanding miseous disciples at the peak of body tempering.
How could this unknown newer possibly be in the same league?
Hearing Liu Hong's accusation, Zhao Heng was not anxious but instead felt joy. "Just what I was hoping for," he thought.
Zhao Heng immediately responded, "Supervisor Liu is right. These magical beast ears were not actually killed by me."
Hearing this, Liu Hong coldly ughed, "Zhao Heng, cheating in the miseous disciple examination is a serious offense. Mild punishment means g your results, severe punishment means expulsion from the sect!"
Zhao Heng calmly replied, "I didn't cheat. I picked up these beast ears."
"Picked up?" Everyone was stunned.
"Nonsense! Do you take us for fools?" Liu Hong coldly rebuked.
Zhao Heng expined leisurely, "Here's what happened. While hunting magical beasts, I tally entered a group of people fighting magical beasts. They all died mutually, so I simply cut off the magical beasts' ears."
"Impossible!" Liu Hong categorically denied.
Zhao Heng insisted, "It's true. If you don't believe me, you iigate the examination area."
At this moment, a w enfort disciple who had been patrolling the examination area spoke up, "He's not lying. We did discover traagical beasts and partits fightierday. Those partits' bodies were likely eaten by ical beasts."
The crowd suddenly uood. This kid had just gotten incredibly lucky.
Liu Hong still seemed skeptical. "How could your luck be so good? Precisely entering a beast group fighting partits, right near you?"
Zhao Heng ter-questioned, "I'd also like to know why that group appeared near me.
Supervisor Liu, if you're still unvinced, why not have the w enfort brothers duct a thh iigation to see if there's something suspicious?"
"You...!" Liu Hong's face ged instantly. He naturally uood the implication of Zhao Heng's words.
Seeing Zhao Heng so fident, many people began to believe his story. Even Zhou g, the chief supervisor, spoke up:
"Sihe w enfort team has firmed this i, it seems this young man was just lucky. Let him pass."
With the chief supervisor having spoken, Liu Hong, despite his unwillingness, didn't dare say more.
Amid the crowd's buzzing discussions, the two exged a brief, meaningful gheir internal thoughts were surprisingly identical:
"Damn it, I'm definitely going to kill You!"
