Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System-Chapter 34: Breakthrough, Dominator

He changed his mind quicker than one can flip a book!

Qin Mu shook his head slightly and stepped inside, locking the door behind him.

Ling Qianxue was the only person in this shelter; there were no outsiders.

Qin Mu let his backpack fall to the ground in a corner and sat back against it.

So that made things a little awkward for Ling Qianxue.

She had never been in the same room with anyone else for as long, especially at night, and especially in the wilderness!

Her pretty face immediately flushed red, and she retreated to another corner, saying nothing.

Qin Mu thought of the horde of Vicious Beasts.

Ling Qianxue’s mind was wandering, thinking of who knows what.

Anyway, none of them slept; they just stared at each other until the first rays of sunlight pierced through the observation hole and lit up the shelter.

Qin Mu calmly took out yesterday’s roasted meat.

It was then that Ling Qianxue remembered, "Oh, right, I only saw your points, but I haven’t asked why you came all the way here?"

"You, you couldn’t have killed all the Vicious Beasts on my route, could you?"

Qin Mu shook his head: "No, it’s just that I was attacked by a horde of Vicious Beasts at night."

A horde of Vicious Beasts?

Ling Qianxue was startled.

The problem had already been resolved, so the officials of the Martial Examination had not informed all the examinees.

Naturally, the flaw that appeared in the Martial Examination did not need to be exposed.

Qin Mu briefly explained:

"In that case, it’s not safe for us to go out today."

Ling Qianxue had no intention of striving in the direction of a Martial Artist; her Family certainly didn’t want her to fight in the wilderness.

"Then are you going out today?

Qin Mu still shook his head: "No."

If he hadn’t found the murderous intent behind the Vicious Beasts, he could have continued the examination, just to earn some extra money.

But now, someone was luring Vicious Beasts to ambush him.

Yesterday, they used Rank Three Vicious Beasts; if he went further, how would he know they wouldn’t use Rank Five ones?

What would he do then?

Could he still kill them?

"Hmm~" Ling Qianxue’s eyes darted around: "Alright then, I won’t go out either. I’ve already passed the examination anyway, and with your points over ten thousand, you won’t fall out of the top ten. It’s just a pity that the champion title seems out of reach."

Qin Mu was no longer concerned about the champion title.

Trading his life for a champion title wasn’t worth it. Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Zhang Wei and Yan Zhen followed the tire tracks to find a jeep that had been abandoned in the mud.

"Standard model, from the black market, no clues whatsoever," said Zhang Wei after examining it.

Yan Zhen nodded: "It seems certain now that someone is luring Vicious Beasts from behind the scenes!

"The tire tracks lead all the way from outside the examination grounds directly to Qin Mu’s shelter. It seems like an informant tipped them off, they moved under the cover of night, and had a clear target."

Bang!

Zhang Wei heavily punched onto the jeep, completely flattening the jeep.

"You bastards~! Don’t you dare let me find out who it was!"

"They even want to kill Martial Examination examinees? And by luring Vicious Beasts to ambush them! If we don’t catch these animals, how can Jiangcheng ever be peaceful?"

Alas~!

Yan Zhen sighed quietly, not saying anything more.

A century had gone by since the Vicious Beast outbreak.

Over recent years, with the Great Grandmasters suppressing them, and the military, Martial Artists, and Martial Arts Halls developing in various ways,

The threat of Vicious Beasts to the city seemed gradually to be decreasing.

Meanwhile, some had earned money during the period, and their minds had changed; many rich people even prided themselves that they did not have to leave the city.

Things they dare not speak aloud, yet all knew in secret.

From these words alone, you couldn’t do anything to them. Every year, they would always be able to submit their mission quotas for the Vicious Beast missions.

Even if all the Martial Artists had to leave the city to hunt, rich people could hire Martial Artists on a mission just like they were on a tour.

Based on this, it was inevitable that some would break the law and even have malicious intentions against Martial Artists.

"I’ll report this case to the military to investigate thoroughly!" Yan Zhen said sternly.

"Alright, I will go back and shut off the live broadcast of the exam. It is no longer safe to show their positions to the outside world." Zhang Wei said that and immediately ran back towards the city. Thirty kilometers away from where the jeep was abandoned, within a shelter.

A five-person Martial Artist team was resting.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door opened, and a young man burst in, pressing the signal jammer in his hand: "How is it? Is that kid dead or not?"

The youth speaking was none other than Lu Zhuo himself.

The leader of the Martial Artist team was a scar-faced strongman: "Young Master Lu, your information was inaccurate. That kid isn’t a Mentalist Rank Three but Rank Nine!! Even the Three-Eyed Wolf King was taken down by him in one blow!"

What!??

Lu Zhuo had only seen Qin Mu’s points increase, knowing that the Vicious Beast horde attack had succeeded. However, he had not expected the operation to fail.

"Damn it, what are you guys good for?

Do you know how much risk I took and how many resources I spent for this operation?

The scar-faced man rolled his eyes: "Rank Three Vicious Beasts are the limit we can lure into the examination grounds. If it were Rank Four, the commotion would be too great and would definitely attract official attention."

"A Mentalist Rank Nine, and even beyond Bai Qiuye’s level, has genius-level abilities; you cannot kill this sort of character by just luring Vicious Beasts.

Bastard!

A fierce glint flashed in Lu Zhuo’s eyes: "If Vicious Beasts can’t kill him, then you go kill him yourselves! If you’ve accepted the mission and don’t complete it, none of you will escape!"

Hmph~

The scar-faced man was also a ruthless character and thought, "Young Master Lu, the mission was to lure Vicious Beasts. We completed that. Whether he’s killed or not is none of our business. If that kid comes out, we’ll naturally take action to resolve it, but if he’s within the examination area, we won’t take the risk."

Damn it!

Immediately, Lu Zhuo wanted to draw out his sword, but the following second, his body stood completely still.

In the corner.

A strangely shaped metal weapon was pointed at him.

"New laser gun? Alright! Very good~!

Lu Zhuo clenched his teeth: "It seems you’re all determined to complete the mission as usual?!"

After saying that,

Turning, Lu Zhuo stormed out and slammed the door shut.

After he left,

The others spoke finally: "Brother Scar, shall we proceed?

The scar-faced man immediately shook his head: "Are you out of your mind? That kid is a Genius Mentalist, and the examination grounds will definitely conduct a thorough investigation into the Vicious Beast incident. Damn it! It was not easy to earn two hundred million from him! We’re not going back to Jiangcheng. Let’s wander around outside for a while first."

The shelter where the group was located was just over ten kilometers outside the Martial Examination route.

They immediately dispersed after delivering their message.

Not long after,

A drone appeared above the shelter, only to move further, having found nothing.

But today, this shelter was noticeably more lively than usual.

The first to arrive at the shelter was a middle-aged Martial Artist in a B-grade combat suit.

A moment later,

Bai Qiuye, in white robes, arrived on his sword, also appeared at the shelter.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say." Bai Qiuye got up and found himself seven thousand points behind, and almost went berserk on the spot. He was now rushing to kill Vicious Beasts and rack up points. If his Family hadn’t sent a signal, he wouldn’t have wasted time coming here in the first place.

The Martial Artist immediately said, "Young Miss Yan has issued an order. Qin Mu belongs to Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall, and his contract Rank may not be high. He must be recruited into the Myriad Sword Pavilion."

"Beginning with an sss contract, with conditions open to his demands, the Myriad Sword Pavilion will bear any breach of contract fees."

Crack!

At the sound of that, Bai Qiuye’s fists immediately clenched with a crisp sound, and an eyebrow was coldly raised: "Does Aunt Yan think my talent is inferior to his?"

"Naturally not." The Martial Artist’s expression did not change: "But a Genius Mentalist must be in the hands of the Myriad Sword Pavilion. This is the foundation of the Myriad Sword Pavilion’s existence. For Mentalists, the advantages of the Myriad Sword Pavilion are unmatched by other forces. You should know what to say."

Nonsense!

Of course, Bai Qiuye knew what to say, but he just couldn’t swallow this insult.

How could a Mentalist just show up and start earning points more quickly than him?

Is that even possible?

Impossible!

Something must be wrong!

He waved his hand impatiently, turned and left on his sword, dropping a line as he went: "Tell Aunt Yan, I know!"

.A day passed.

Qin Mu had been eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.

With Ling Qianxue around, she was a free human alarm system-so why not use her?

On the third day of the Martial Examination.

Ling Qianxue finally couldn’t take it anymore: "Hey, Wood, aren’t you going out yet? Bai Qiuye’s points are rising very quickly; in just one day, he was able to catch up by more than two thousand points!

Bai Qiuye was much stronger; killing Rank Three Vicious Beasts would not be an issue, as long as there were enough of them.

But that was precisely the problem.

There were not that many Vicious Beasts.

After the night raid, the rescue team had cleared out the surrounding area, and any Vicious Beast hordes above five in number were eliminated.

From morning till night, Bai Qiuye was busy searching for Vicious Beasts within the area.

"No, just tell me when you want to leave." Qin Mu had received Zhang Wei’s message, affirming that someone lured the Vicious Beasts but still hadn’t found out who it was. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Even though he had assured them that the outer Vicious Beasts had been cleared out,

Qin Mu still didn’t plan on going out.

Ling Qianxue was speechless.

Spending all day with Qin Mu, this Wood, who didn’t even say a word, she was truly fed up!

"Fine! Then we’ll just stay cooped up. Nobody goes out!

After saying that,

Ling Qianxue also remained silent, seeing who could hold out longer.

The fourth day!

The fifth day!

The sixth day!

In the middle of the night, Qin Mu opened his eyes.

"Upgrade!"
