### Notice ###No matter what anyone here believed in, let us take a moment of our time to send our condolences to the victim and their family from the recent terrorist attack in New Zealand on Friday.
It was such a sad day for our world, that in this day and age, there was so much hatred in a person that they dared to commit such atrocities for the sake of what they believed it..
Even children who knew nothing about the world and its politics, that all they know about was eating, playing, having fun and sleeping, still fall victim towards such heartless ma.s.sacre..
Let such an event reminded us, that any form of agression, violence and terrorism, no matter how politically correct their cause was, the one to suffer from that in the end was always the innocent..
Therefore, even when I have no influence or power to stop such a thing from happening again, I firmly condemn such an act of terror and violence against any groups of people.
It is unjust and only those whom depraved themselves of all humanity inside them would do something as such.

"They are here!" w.a.n.g Xiolun narrowed his eyes as his battle intent rose to its peak!
"Hey w.a.n.g Xiolun, we should do a headcount of who could take out more between the two of us! The highest should get some prizes from the Lord!" Shen Murong said with both arms crossed on his chest as he gave a look to Duan Li with a grin.
Hearing this, Duan Li shot up his brows feeling intrigued and said "Oh? That"s a good idea. Let"s see.. for every 100 monsters each of you slained, I will give you 1 High quality spirit stone! As for the one who have the highest head count, perhaps.. I"ll make you stronger in one way or another?" he cupped his chin.
Pik! Pik!
When the both of them heard this, their adrenaline was shot through the roof as their veins popped out.
1 High quality Spirit Stone?
Make us more stronger?
"The fight is on!" the both of them said at the same time while clenching their fist tight in agitation.
Inwardly however, Duan Li chuckled and said to himself, "That is, if the both of you could manage to slay them faster than me.. huehuehue.."
From the back, the rest of his followers happened to overheard their conversation and couldn"t help but to voice out their complaints.
"Hey, that"s not fair! Give us something to compete too!" Wei Shang said while his little brother, Wei w.a.n.g beside him nodded furiously in agreement.
"Yeah Brother! Oh, but you should lower the bar for us! After all, we are the rear-guards and wouldn"t have a lot of opportunity to slay more monsters than you guys do later on!" Shen Lu shouted out.
"Hmph! I bet if I joined the vanguard over there, I would be able to earn more than those two. But a pity, since I"m at the rear-guard now, I agree with them, we need prizes as well!" Fei Longwei snorted as Shen Lu beside him sneakily gave him a thumbs up.
"I agree! Don"t just left us out like that!" Xu Rong added and Guo He jumped up in in excitement, "Me as well! But my bar should be the lowest, because I"m in charge of the well-being of the party later on!"
"Umm me too.. I need to buy some more fried chicken.." Xiahou Yu chimed in, albeit with a small voice that no one could practically heard what she was saying at all.
A chance to earn some spirit stones? Yeah right, as if we could let such an opportunity go past our noses!
"We demand prizes! For equality!"
"For fairness!"
"For justice!"
"For fried chicken!"
With this, they began to make a ruckus with their complaints, similar to that kind of situation when some overworked laborers demanded a more increase in their salary and mobbed out on the streets en ma.s.se.
"This.. fine! Let"s see.." Duan Li pressed his temples together as he tried to think of what compet.i.tion and prizes he should gave them.
When the other students around their party first heard of their initial bickering, they hurriedly turned over to listen on what it was all about.
But when they heard that their argument was all about compet.i.tion and prizes, they couldn"t help but to have their brows twitching constantly while some pulled on their own hairs and beard in frustrations, feeling indignant.
Are you guys really here to slay down some monsters to protect humanity and the Jiu Empire behind us?
Why does it feels like you guys were on a leisure picnic?
POOOOOONNNNNNN!!
"That"s the second signal, seems like the scouts have managed to separate the monsters from their main packs!"
"All hands! Prepare for battle!"
"Long range attackers, get yourself ready!"
Brrrrrrr!!
The ground beneath their feet began to rumble as clouds of dust could be seen beyond the distance.
"Here they come.."
"That"s a monster stampede for you.. look at those numbers..!"
"I hope we could make out from this battle alive.."
"Sh*t, the ground"s trembling so much.."
"The ground? Isn"t that your own legs? Hahaha!"
The crowd showed a mix reaction and expression facing their incoming enemies; some felt motivated, others felt angry and furious, while some of them felt a little bit scared.
"Focus!!" their squad leaders reprimanded with a loud bellow.
"Long-range squad, steady yourself!!"
Brrr...
Crack! Crack!
The ground began to crack as the intensity of the shaking increases, a tell-tale sign that the monsters were getting closer!
Bzzzzz!! Bzzzzzzz!!
The long range squads has finally finished charging their full-powered attacks and were ready to let loose at any moment now..
"Steady.. steady.."
They were now 1 kilometer apart from each other!
Gulp!
3.. 2.. 1..
800 meters!!
"FIREEE!!"
BAMM!! BAMM!! BAMM!!
BOOMMM!! BOOMMM!!
A barrage of continuous long range attacks was being let out by the long range squad towards the closely approaching monster at this moment!
"DIEEE!!!" everyone shouted out at the top of their lungs.
BOOMMM!! BOOMMM!! BOOMMM!!
"ROARRR!!"
The series of attacks was like a heavy, torrential rain showering against the monsters as their bodies were ripped apart, torned to shreds, penetrated and mangled to bits and pieces!
"Second long range squads.. FIREEE!!"
BAMM!! BAMM!! BAMM!!
BOOMMM!! BOOMMM!!
"Would you look at those monsters! I"d hate to be the one on the receiving ends of those attacks! HAHA!" Shen Murong laughed out, feeling satisfied upon seeing the monsters gets blowned apart to pieces.
"As crazy and powerful our preemptive strike appeared to us from this distance, only a few hundreds of those monsters were killed by that.. and that"s coming from the combined attack from at least a thousand of us!" Shen Lu remarked with a grim countenance.
"Indeed.. these monsters are incredibly resilient." w.a.n.g Xiolun nodded.
Meanwhile, Duan Li was scratching the back of his head.
"Is it just me.. or that attack of their"s seemed to be.. quite weak?" he thought to himself with a frown.
"ROOAARRR!!"
As the second long-range attack was launched, roughly another 300 of the enemies fell.
"d.a.m.n it, I can"t do anymore long-range attacks like that.. or else it would sap my spiritual Qi reserves dry within a few breaths!" one student said.
"Me too! That two long range attacks I just did took about half of my spiritual Qi! I need to meditate for a while!"
"Same! And here I thought that it would do a good number of damage to their numbers.. but it seems like we had only been able take down about a thousand of them altogether.."
The students began to show signs of panic as they hadn"t expected that even 1 Star monsters was this tough and difficult to handle!
...
High above the battlefield, was a number of figures draped in red and black robes respectively, floating gently observing the entire situation down below.
"Princ.i.p.al, should we help them out? At this rate, they would get overwhelmed soon.." Zhuge Liang said, and then continued, "..these 1 Star monsters are a little bit stronger than usual.."
"Not yet.. let"s see what Duan Li would do in this situation.." the Princ.i.p.al shook his head while maintaining a curious expression.
He is more concerned about Sir Duan Li"s action?
Unable to understand what the latter meant, Zhuge Liang asked once more, "Sir Duan Li? Is he going to do something?" he said as he focused his sights to where Duan Li and his party were.
Meng Yue beside them then spoke out as she suddenly noticed something, "Oh? I saw him scratching the back of his head just now.. Usually, there were only two reasons for that; either he felt embarra.s.sed or frustrated.."
Hearing this, the Princ.i.p.al formed a wide grin. "Is that so? I"m guessing it should be the latter then.."
...
"Hmmm.. let me just throw in one punch.." Duan Li said as he floated up a little bit higher.
Crack! Crack!
Clenching his right hand into a tight fist, Duan Li pulled his arm backwards, ready to throw in a swing.
"Eh? What are you doing?" Shen Murong said, but then quickly realized from Duan Li"s sudden spike in aura. After which, his face turned panic.
"Wait.. stop!! Don"t just hog all those monsters to yourselves! I need my high quality spirit stones!!"
b.u.mp! b.u.mp!
Ignoring the latter begging at him, Duan Li continued to charge the power behind his fist. His arm muscles soon bulged out and the furious aura he was radiating out right now had attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
"Hey, look at that guy! What is he doing?"
"Eh? Isn"t that the famous junior? His face seems to be contorting.. and that weird posture.. is he constipating?"
Pah!!
The latter just got slapped in the head by his friend, "Idiot! He is preparing an attack!"
"Huh? Isn"t that a little bit too late? We had already finished our long-range attack just now.."
"Yeah.. I"ve indeed heard that he is strong, but what could an attack from one guy possibly do.."
The crowd began to grew curious of Duan Li"s sudden move.
"It would seem that.. getting some High quality spirit stones would be a lot harder than I previously think.." w.a.n.g Xiolun said inwardly as he sighed and shook his head.
80 percent power..
90 percent..
100!
Clink!!
Duan Li"s eyes narrowed and glinted like that of an eagle predator!
"Nine Fists Shattering Meteor!!"
Full-blast!!
As soon as Duan Li punched his fist forward, a series of shocking phenomena occurred.
s.p.a.ce began to contort around his fist, creating active vacuum holes that sucked in highly heated air from the intense friction between them, coiling around his right arm like that of a boiling phantoms!
These heated air then spontaneously combusted, forming coils of flames like those raging dragons, heading furiously for the opening at the tip of Duan Li"s fist!
When these coiling dragons exitted at the front, they merged together and formed into one, gigantic ball of flames!
All these took a while to describe, but happened in less than a single breath at the speed of a supersonic!
BAAAMMMM!!
"Holy-molley!!"
"Ahhh!!"
The students that were near him were blowned away by the shockwaves and their eardrums erupted!
"W-What the h.e.l.l..?!!" the others back off a little bit, feeling extremely shocked.
This fist art that Duan Li just launched, was the strongest form of the Major mastery of it that he could perform right now!
When compared to the major mastery of this fist that he had deployed out in a successive manner during that time he went solo, this single punch right now was at least twenty to thirty times more powerful!
That single, one giant ball of flames hurling towards the monsters were like that of a real, fiery and volatile meteor, and the instant it made contact with those monsters, their very existence disappeared without a single trace of them left!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!
The humongous explosion caused a tall mushroom cloud to form, reaching up into the sky, and its shockwaves had torned everything asunder around it.
Everyone that watched this scene had their jaws dropped and their mouths opened wide agaped.
Even if someone were to fart directly into their mouths right now, it remains a question on whether they would close it or not.
High above the sky, the trio, including Duan Li"s mother, had the same puffer fish expression as well.
"Did.. did he just.. eliminated them all in one fell swoop?"
...
