If all three people were a hundred meters away and had used the forest advantage to escape to different directions, then Qin Wushuang would have the a.s.surance to kill them all.
However, since these three were all within thirty meters and without any objects blocking his path, even if they had a pair of wings, it would be impossible to escape.
These three martial arts students formed a clique and had waited here to ambush others. In the past few days, seven or eight martial arts students had died at their hands.
Qin Wushuang collected their three bodies and looked for their serial number. One of them was number thirty-two, and indeed, he was that sniper from the south side.
“No wonder this thirty-two moved around this area. He had friends already.” Qin Wushuang thought about it and started to search the spoils of war.
Obviously, these three martial arts students formed a clique because they thought they would be safe for sure. Thus, they carried all valuable goods in their knapsack, that included the jade plates.
After he had gone through all of the knapsacks, Qin Wushuang was secretly astonished. Good lord, these three b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, in only a few days, they had gotten eight jade plates.
He turned over each jade plate and found the number thirty-two plate needed by Tong Yao’s little brother.
Unexpectedly, this number thirty-two had also collected Tong Yao’s little brother’s number nineteen jade plate!
"This guy is not simple. The four plates he had were worth fifty-seven points. The other two are the just errand boys."
However, one of the errand boys had a number forty-six jade plate. To Qin Wushuang, it was worth five points. Moreover, now he had much more flexibility since he’d acquired eight jade plates in total.
As long as Tong Yao’s brother was able to give him the number six plate, Qin Wushuang could acquire eighty points effortlessly.
"It seems in this test site; it"s a better gain to hook up the big fishes. In these two battles, I got eleven jade plates. Plus the six I had from before, now I have seventeen jade plates. Three days have pa.s.sed, I just don"t know how much harvest had Tong Yao’s brother got?”
When he thought here, he could not speak. The two most important jade plates needed by Tong Yao’s brother had all been on this Number Thirty-Two.
If Qin Wushuang were not here, regardless of how reliable Tong Yao"s little brother"s Intel may be, in the end, he would still get disqualified.
Quietly, Qin Wushuang left this place after he had taken care of the bodies.
Now, he only needed to wait for the result from Tong Yao"s little brother. As soon as he got the number six jade plate, everything else in this test site would have nothing to do with him.
He rested for the night. Next day, Qin Wushuang started heading toward the rendezvous point he’d agreed upon with Tong Yao’s little brother.
Unexpectedly, he was already there. Tong Yao’s little brother stood on the hill and surveyed the scene. He waved his hand when he saw Qin Wushuang arrived.
“You are early.” Qin Wushuang approached with a smile.
Tong Yao"s little brother appeared genuinely worried and sick at heart: "Brother, from my newest Intel, someone had already killed Number Thirty-Two. The jade plate he had is most likely gone."
"Where is number six?" Smiling, Qin Wushuang opened his palm and there it was, that number thirty-two plate that he needed to trade.
Tong Yao’s little brother looked at Qin Wushuang in amazement. He suddenly realized: “This... You killed Number Thirty-Two?”
After the shock had pa.s.sed, he remembered something and took out a jade plate from his chest. He smiled bitterly: “I am ashamed to say, I found this number six the minute I entered the exam site. And until now, it is the only jade plate I got.”
"This is the so-called worth a thousand pounds of gold." Qin Wushuang smiled and looked around. When he saw no peeping eyes, he continued to speak with a smile: "There is the saying of how quality triumphs over quant.i.ty. To me, this jade plate is worth more than thousands of gold. Since you are willing to take the initiative to work with me, it proves that you judge people well. Thus, I need to congratulate you. You’ve earned my appreciation.”
While Qin Wushuang joked, he continued to take the jade plates out from his chest one after another as if he was showing a trick.
As he took out five jade plates consecutively, stupefied, Tong Yao’s little brother could not even take his eyes off them.
In these five jade plates, besides the two point one, to him, the other four was worth more than thousands of gold. Even his jade plate was among it!
These five jade plates were number nineteen, thirty-two, twenty-nine, forty-nine and one other two point plates.
“This…” Tong Yao’s little brother opened his eyes widely and looked at Qin Wushuang. Apparently, he had not understood his intentions.
“Are these enough, to trade with your number six plate?”
Tong Yao’s little brother worked hard to control his emotion as he said stutteringly: “Enough, enough… This is too much.”
“Haha, to me, they are only worth two points. It’s not too much to use ten points to trade for thirty points,” Qin Wushuang said with a smile.
“Mutual benefits to maximize their values,” Qin Wushuang complemented, “Of course, this is also a reward for your judgment to people.”
Tong Yao’s little brother looked at Qin Wushuang seriously. After he was sure that he was not joking, he smiled bitterly: “This way, you have already collected eighty points to cross test sites?”
“Yes.” Qin Wushuang lightly replied.
“When do you plan to leave?” Inwardly, Tong Yao’s little brother felt it was a pity. Such guy, if he could work with him for two more days, maybe he would have hope to earn the eighty crossing points.
Unfortunately, this exam was crucial to each person. An interval of time is worth an ounce of gold. He would not stop for him.
“I will adjust a bit today, and leave tomorrow.”
If Qin Wushuang had to choose, he wanted to leave today. However, since he made a deal with Tong Yao, he still decided to see things through to the end.
Since the first day, Qin Wushuang had acquired a total of seventeen jade plates. He gave five to Tong Yao’s little brother and received the number six plate. Now, he had a total of thirteen jade plates.
One number six, number forty-five, add them together would be fifty points. The other three were number twenty-six, thirty-six, forty-six and each was worth five points.
The remaining eight were all two point jade plates. In total, they added up to eighty-one points. It was enough for him to cross sites.
He planned to stay for one more day because he wanted to help Tong Yao’s little brother acquire a few more points. It would be better if he could help him achieve close to eighty points. The rest would be up to him.
If Tong Yao’s little brother could not obtain any jade plates on his own, then he would be useless after all. However, Tong Yao should be satisfied since he was able to reach such stage.
After all, the five jade plates on Tong Yao"s little brother was worth sixty-two points. With this grade, he was not eligible to cross zones. However, among the martial arts students in Redwood Royal Territory, it would be no problem for him to rank in the top thirty.
If you estimated, even if people had qualified from each exam sites, there were only fifty people.
When spreading these fifty people across the four Royal Territories, there would only be twelve or thirteen people from each Territory.
From his a.n.a.lysis of the rules, Qin Wushuang thought that not everyone from each Territory had the skills to cross sites. In this exam, strength was just one aspect, luck and judgment were also equally important.
Of course, in the end, one needed a comprehensive set of skills.
After some calculation, if one got close to eighty points, surely he would qualify. As for crossing regions, for those martial arts students without a super advantageous strength, it might not be a good thing.
After all, even if you were powerful in this test site, you would be in an unfamiliar environment when you entered new testing sites. At that time, others may strike at you in the dark.
Thus, Qin Wushuang guessed that some of the more conservative students would not cross sites even if they had collected eighty points.
When both of them put away their jade plates, Qin Wushuang smiled: “Let’s move together today. When we find jade plates, we will divide it among us. We will both divvy up the plates according to their value to us. How about it?”
Initially, Tong Yao’s little brother appeared somewhat at a loss. When Qin Wushuang said it, instantly, he regained his energy and blood boiled up.
One exam site had a total of fifty jade plates. Now, Qin Wushuang had thirteen, and Tong Yao"s little brother had five. Putting together, they had a total of eighteen plates.
In other words, there were thirty-two jade plates left for them to find.
Qin Wushuang clapped his hand and smiled: “Ok, let the hunt begin!”
From Tong Yao"s little brother"s Intel, the gathering place of the martial arts students had moved to the north side. In that area, there was a thick rock pile and was about twenty miles large. Strange stones covered the craggy terrain. Among the stone forest, there was a mix of flowers and trees. As a highly dangerous terrain, it was a good place for martial arts students.
As the two of them approached the area, the scenery along the way shocked them. Corpses of martial arts students lay in a horrifying shapes. Each of them had dismembered bodies; limbs torn apart…
“How did this happen?” Tong Yao’s little brother muttered.
On the other hand, Qin Wushuang frowned lightly and inspected the details on each body. After he had looked through five or six bodies, Qin Wushuang suddenly stopped and looked at that stone forest in the far distance. He muttered: "Someone was one step quicker than me…"
