Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Ling Family Siblings Compete for Points

Su Mu didn’t like killing.

It’s just that ever since he grasped the Sword Momentum, he became very sensitive to hostility, or rather, killing intent.

For this reason, Su Mu did not hesitate to slay Demon Staff with one strike.

When facing Scarface, Su Mu sensed an extremely terrifying killing intent, and with the Liu Family Siblings’ reminder, Su Mu immediately realized that the other party was indeed coming for him.

Later, he felt a faint killing intent from Lu Lin, but from Li Yue, he never felt any killing intent from beginning to end.

Currently, Su Mu did not sense any killing intent from the two people opposite; they were not here to kill him but simply wanted to seize tokens and points.

That’s why Su Mu didn’t draw his sword immediately but intended to engage in conversation.

These points might be an extremely important resource within the Training Camp.

And at the end, Corporal Lou emphasized: You are not true enemies.

But if you are attacked, you must retaliate. Since the others wanted to knock him down, he would fight back in kind.

Su Mu intended to knock the two down and then snatch their tokens and points!

...

The chubby guy rushed over and then saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.

The scene before him almost made his jaw drop.

Whoa!

A figure suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, flew back, and landed heavily on the sand, while the other person was already down on the ground.

Su Mu treated men and women alike.

After knocking the two down, Su Mu shook his wrist, sheathed his sword, and upon sensing someone approaching from behind, turned to look as if to say, do you want to try too?

The chubby guy swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he spoke, "No, don’t misunderstand, I’m not with them."

"I, I just came to take a look."

The chubby man’s face was a mix of shock and fear, and seeing that the other party didn’t intend to act, Su Mu didn’t pursue it either. "Thanks for the welcoming ceremony, now it’s my turn."

"Hand over the tokens."

The two on the ground looked grim, but acted swiftly, each taking out and tossing their tokens.

Su Mu reached out to catch them and glanced at them. They were Token No. 143 and No. 144, indicating they were also newcomers to the camp.

"Get up, you both are a Fifth Level Martial Artist and a Fourth Level Martial Artist, you’re not that fragile, are you?"

The two on the ground were filled with grievances; they really had bad luck. They intended to pick on someone weak from the direction of Shenjiang City, but ended up hitting a brick wall.

Just now, the two didn’t dare to resist at all, allowing Su Mu to vent a bit, so Su Mu went easy on them.

In any case, in their eyes, mastering Sword Momentum at the Fourth Level made him a total monster!

When this monster returns to the dormitory area, there’s bound to be more chaos.

With this thought in mind, the two dared not hesitate, popping a healing elixir into their mouths before standing up.

"Tell me everything you know about these tokens, points, and the Training Camp."

...

"I’m Ling Jun, and this is my sister Ling Xiaoyu. We are from Qianhai City."

"You are siblings?" Su Mu recalled how the woman earlier called the man by his first name, assuming they were a couple. He didn’t expect them to be siblings.

But close-in-age siblings indeed don’t tend to show much respect to their older brother, at least not verbally.

"How should I put it..."

"Let me explain," Ling Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. "I, this guy, and that chubby fellow over there are all from Qianhai City. We three arrived at the Training Camp almost together and thus were sent to this sandy area together."

"Initially, we wanted to pick a dormitory early, but then we encountered someone on the way."

Ling Xiaoyu paused, glanced at Su Mu, seemingly suggesting that the person they met was a monster like him.

"Then he taught us a lesson. He first provoked us to draw our weapons, and then beat the three of us, seizing our tokens."

So if you can’t fight them, join them...

And for one person to knock down three, that person must be strong, worthy of the Three Cities Joint Training Camp!

Ling Xiaoyu’s straightforward personality was obvious, and after noticing Su Mu’s peculiar expression, she directly said, "Yep, we also intend to learn from him because majority of our points have been stolen."

"In the Training Camp, if the fist is everything, then points are all the cultivation resources."

"Every dorm requires points for daily use, dining at the canteen requires points, and using the Cultivation Room needs points too; essentially, all resources at the Training Camp can be exchanged with points."

"And since the Training Camp hasn’t officially started, the only channel to earn more points is to seize them from others. This is something Captain Shi Hao hinted at subtly."

"I guess Captain Shi Hao anticipated this situation, and those in charge encourage it."

"In the sand, directly defeating others means the loser must surrender a quarter of their points to the victor. If weapons are involved in combat, the losing party doubles the loss to half their points."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu suddenly understood why the two were trying to provoke him. They intended to earn extra points while many others were yet to suffer a defeat and still clueless.

At this moment, Su Mu also gained a deeper understanding of this Training Camp. It’s essentially a breeding ground, aiming to choose the thirty most powerful and battle-hungry individuals from the Three Cities Training.

Of course, there could also be some with exceptional talent but a weak character. Such individuals would be no great loss if eliminated because the Blue Star Alliance Genius Competition is a brutal arena. If one doesn’t wish to fight, why participate!

"What’s the initial points for each token?"

"Ten thousand. We only found out this number after being robbed," Ling Jun interjected at this point.

"Now, you both lost. Hand over the points."

"Do you want to exchange tokens?" Ling Xiaoyu asked.

"Exchange tokens?"

"The numbers on the tokens are actually codes, essentially rankings. I suspect there might be other benefits later?"

Ling Xiaoyu sneaked a glance at Su Mu, still withholding an inner thought: Monsters like you surely care about rankings, right?

Upon hearing this, Su Mu chose the 143 from their 143 and 144 tokens, as he naturally wouldn’t miss out if there were benefits.

After exchanging tokens, the two fully overlapped Token No. 159 with Token No. 143, and after infusing Qi and Blood, the inscription on the token emerged, forming light yellow numbers.

Token No. 143 was 2500, and Token No. 159 was 10000.

2500...

It seems the siblings were robbed more than once, no wonder their token tossing motion was quite practiced.

Su Mu glanced at the siblings; Ling Jun looked a bit embarrassed, while Ling Xiaoyu snorted lightly.

Very quickly, the numerical points on the two tokens were exchanged.

Then they had Su Mu hold the token, and they placed their token in contact from below, changing the numbers on the tokens again.

Token No. 143 changed from 10000 to 12500.

Meanwhile, Tokens No. 159 and No. 144 both reduced by 1250, becoming 1250 each.

The siblings sincerely explained the rules they knew, so Su Mu, after receiving the points, didn’t intend to trouble them any further.

"Well, how did you distinguish that I’m from Shenjiang City?"

"The Training Camp entrances for the three cities are different, and Shenjiang City’s camp requires one to walk from this entrance to the dormitory, with Gaoshan roughly in that direction, and Qianhai the other direction."

Su Mu nodded, also recalling their attempt to pick on the weak when they came to the Shenjiang City entrance area. This suggests that Shenjiang City might not have performed well in past Training Camps, possibly being the weaker of the three cities.

"Alright, thanks for the information."

Su Mu was satisfied, and as he was about to leave, the siblings couldn’t help but ask a question.

"Could you tell us your name?"

"Shenjiang City, Su Mu."
