After two minutes of running through the forest, she spotted 50 points *cough* one-third rank middle-level beast. It was similar to a female lion, but with white fur and 3 meters tall.

She decided to kill it in one hit so that her pursuers didn’t catch up to her. “[Celestial coat], [Lingering Star Steps].” Her speed soared!

She clutched the handle of the [Draconic Heart] with both hands, and when she was 300 meters close, she pointed her giant sword forward and chanted, “[Star charge].”

Half of the 120+ white lights started rotating fast around the sword, making a white vortex. Yasenia stomped the ground and burst forward. The beast turned its head toward Yasenia, but Yasenia was already at its side! The white whirlwind of destruction landed on the beast, and with the sound of bones and flesh getting obliterated, Yasenia pierced through the side of the lion, making a giant hole.

The beast roared in agony. However, the absurd vitality of the beast supported its vitals, avoiding death! Nonetheless, Yasenia didn’t even turn back; she continued forward, deactivating her skills and finding other prey.

The lion was about to chase the offender even with the hole on its side, but the stars that Yasenia used in the charge were lodged inside of it! A chain of explosions occurred, turning the beast’s torso into a meat firework, killing it on the spot!

Yasenia didn’t slow down and continued this mad charge killing the second-ranked beasts she encountered with a single use of the ranged attack, [Shooting Star], and if she found stronger ones, she would use her [Star Charge] and destroy them. Her points soared, and her position jumped in the ranking speedily!

While she was running, she turned her head towards the east. She felt something valuable there.

Yasenia used [Lingering star steps] thrice, sending illusions in various directions, and then ran eastward.

When she reached the spot, she slowed down and sneaked around. She saw a group of five fighting against a high-level, rank-three beast a kilometer away from her position. They were all between the fourth and seventh levels of the third realm. ‘How do the points divide when you kill something in a team? They didn’t explain that..’

Yasenia smirked. ‘Well, it doesn’t matter. If I kill all of them and the beast, I will know how many points I receive from the beast.’

Yasenia already maxed her number of stars with 300 lights around her. She waited until the beast was weakened and pointed [Draconic Heart] at a 45 angle towards the sky. Its ominous red light changed to silver as Yasenia chanted, “[Celestial coat], [Moon Charge].”

Yasenia continued her charge until she was above them. When she was on top of them, she made a silver circle below her with the sword tip, and her voice echoed, alerting the people and beast below. “[Midnight].”

All her stars fell in her targeted area while she dove downwards, sword first! The people and beast below tried to evade, but when 300 watermelon-sized white balls of destruction fell around them, they had to enter defensive measures.

Right after the stars, Yasenia arrived, and like a silver meteor impacting earth, a giant silver explosion engulfed them, obliterating them.

Yasenia stood up with her legs shaking, saying, “This attack still hurts a ton! Thankfully I wasn’t in my [Day and night cycle] mode, or it would have been a repeat from before.. What!? That consumed 40% of my total energy! I now have 40% left.. This skill is horrendously strong but equally scarily costly!”

She looked at her points. “Hoo~ I gained the full 250 from the beast and a total of 130 from those guys. It seems that they have been working hard. My rank also jumped a lot. Now I’m in the top 5%.. Too high; I need to slow down a little so that people don’t target me.. Am I being too paranoid? Who knows me anyway? Well, rather safe than sorry.”

While moving around, she looked for her dears’ ranking, “Angel has fallen a lot on the rankings.. Thankfully she hasn’t been killed.. yet.”

Yasenia picked up speed and ran away from that spot when the aches in her legs faded enough to let her run without problems.

Yasenia thought while running, ‘This time, we are going to experience death if we don’t play our cards well.. There are very strong cultivators.’

Yasenia arrived at the spot she had sensed before. There was a high-grade magical treasure. She looked around carefully, ‘There aren’t any traps, nor do I sense monsters...’

She took one fruit from the side and threw it towards the treasure. Nothing happened again.

Yasenia whispered, “[Lingering star steps]” A phantom of herself launched at the object. Nothing happened again.

Reassured that it was safe, Yasenia approached and picked it up. Then she ran away from there after not finding anything more of value. ‘Maybe.. Was that beast that the group fought its guardian? Well, it doesn’t matter; 250 easy points for me~.’

She reached a grove with more sparse trees and looked around. ‘Oh~ a lot of mortal-ranked herbs.. There are some spirit ranked ones as well~ Let’s pick them up!’

She started picking them up fast and got another 85 points. ‘There are fewer beasts than I expected.. Maybe I can bombard with [Starfall] a rank two beast nest and get some points?’

She looked at the ranking and frowned; I’m going up in the rankings.. The worse of the ranking is that it shows your cultivation level. ‘A half-step body modification realm in the top of the ranking.. Won’t I become a perfect target? Wait.. The more they come, the more I kill, the more points I get?’

She licked her lips seductively, “Let’s start the hunt~ and then.. The massacre! Hahaha.”

Meanwhile, in the same area as Yasenia, Cecile was killing beasts around. Thanks to her archery, she preferred fighting hordes of weak beasts to gain many points fast. She was lucky enough to follow the trail of an early level, Rank three alpha wolf, and right now, she was massacring their pack. The rank three alpha was her first victim, and it was lying on the side with a hole through its skull.

“[Freezing Gale Arrow Rain]” *Swish**Swish**Swish* Thanks to her heaven-grade gloves, her hands have become extremely agile, and she could fire arrows almost three times faster than before. This kind of boost is why equipment is a big part of a cultivator’s strength.historical

The second-rank wolves didn’t stand a chance and were all skewered. This totaled to a nice 105 points. ‘My rank is quite high; let’s keep up this pace. Maybe I can group up with people from the academy? I will try to find some soon; I work better in teams.’

Cecile went inside the cave, and to her surprise, there was a middle-level magical treasure inside; she picked it up and continued her hunt. ‘Yasenia is a bit far, and I can’t sense her presence clear enough.. Focus on yourself; if you meet up with her, good. If not, try to overtake her score!’

In a completely different area, filled with rocks, Andrea stood clad in full-body silver armor and holding a red and gold Halberd. A magma-like substance coated her armor and weapon; this was her

elemental coat, [Chromosphere]. Not only did it spread scorching

heat around her, but all attacks that fell on her were mildly stopped, like trying to hit a viscous substance. Better, her attacks splashed that magma-like substance on

top of her enemies, burning them up, and slowing them down when it cooled down into a solid state.

This coat was so powerful because it was on the way to becoming the evolved version of the coat skills, which were more physical than aura-like. However, Andrea needed one last push to develop it completely, making her power jump.

Andrea was a dual element master with Sun and Metal attributes. What was impressive about her equipment was that she had made her armor and halberd by herself and were, impressively, low-level Heaven-ranked treasures!

Right now, she was fighting against two third-ranked, middle-level brown bears! The bears were 7m tall, making Andrea appear very small beside them. However, Andrea’s halberd technique was refined, but with imposing momentum, making the beast retreat when receiving her attacks!

She truly looked like a goddess of war clad in molten-silver armor! She calmly said while receiving their attacks, “This is my first time in an event with Yasenia; I should show off a little so that my little dragoness praises me~ [Prominence].”

[Prominence] was a skill that periodically expels molten metal to all her nearby enemies in giant arcs, similar to the sun’s prominences. Combined with her elemental coat, being around Andrea was a true hell!

She sped up her swings, spins, and thrusts of her halberd, attacking both giant bears and covering them with molten metal. They roared in agony, and knowing they had messed with the wrong human, they tried to flee!

Andrea lifted her eyebrow as she felt their intentions and decided to end the battle. “Well, this is enough warm-up. You can die. [Solar explosion].”

Her elemental coat inflated, and..*BOOM* It covered everything around her in superheated liquid metal. The wave of molten metal engulfed both beasts and roared in anguish and pain. They sped up their escape, but the solidifying metal plus their melting skin made them perish there.

Andrea smirked at the +100 in her score, “That was a big jump. Well, 100 points is not a small sum.. But compared to this...”

She approached a red flower that survived the wave of molten metal because it was below a rock and picked it up. Her name disappeared in the rankings and appeared a lot higher. Andrea chuckled while walking away. “Earth-level treasures sure are nice~.”

Meanwhile, Angel was having a hard time in another forest, ‘I shouldn’t have picked up that treasure; now everyone is targeting me. Some people chased me during the excursion, and now this has happened! Will I become the running goddess or something at this pace?’

She looked at the six people following her and sighed, ‘At least there aren’t high-level cultivators. The strongest of them is a level five cultivator.. Well, do you think I didn’t learn something from my previous experience?’

She created a new formation especially for this because of her previous experience! It was low consuming and extremely lethal. She turned around a thick tree, and after running a little more, using the distance between them, she set up the formation. “[Glass mine formation].”

Around her, transparent glass surfaces started appearing. She channeled her light energy in them with her [Prismatic Constitution] and ran away.

The group following her reached the area. They were suspicious when they saw her in front of them, much closer than before, so they stopped running. Angel also stopped and looked back with a sweet smile. “Truly a bunch of dogs, only knowing how to chase me. I’m only a little over one thousand points, is this mob needed?”

Seeing that she had stopped, they started walking towards her. “Just die and be out for 10 hours; I swear we won’t chase you after that.”

Angel smirked. “Not only dog behavior, but also dog mouth and brain, go sleep for a while. I have to do a good job so that my Yasenia pampers me! Activate!”

All those transparent glass nodes lit up with a strong light simultaneously. Before they could even react, a big explosion occurred! *BOOM!* Angel saw fleshy bits raining as her points soared and chuckled. “And it only costs 5% of my energy~ Mommy Tatyana’s advice is the best~.”

Angel walked away with a foolish smile and a blush on her cheeks, thinking about the mother and daughter she loves so much and leaving behind a pit filled with human body parts.

Evelyn was in the same area as Angel, so when she heard that explosion, she thought, ‘Isn’t that Angel’s glass formation explosion? Lucky~ I found my big-breasted little sister! I should go and protect the most beautiful flower’s pampered baby! And maybe play with her tits if she lets me~.’

“[Flash lightning steps]” *zap* Like an electric spark, Evelyn sped up toward Angel. She found a third-ranked early-stage beast on her way and said, “Do not slow down my titty playing time! [Passing lightning strike]” Her movement became erratic and confusing, then she passed the beast and continued forwards.

The beast was confused, but the sudden pain on its side made it check itself. There were five 20cm wide scorched holes on its side. Next, its sight darkened, and it fell dead.
