In the desolate dense forest, the light is dim, and the ground is piled up with withered yellow fallen leaves.

  Perhaps its because of the long time without sufficient sunlight, the forest is filled with a musty smell, with a hint of dampness!

  The fallen leaves didnt know how many years they had accumulated, but with one step, they could sink past the ankle, leaving a deep footprint.

  At this moment, under a big tree, Wang Chen slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and weighed the Star Pearl in his arms. The harvest for an entire morning was not bad.

  With the lesson from yesterday, Wang Chen chose a different strategy today. Before dawn, while everyone was still resting, he set off early and deliberately chose to walk in places where people rarely passed by, hiding and searching for prey. As a result, it turned out to be much better than yesterday, at least without suffering the same level of crazy pursuit and looting as yesterday!

  With the help of Ling Zhan, they plundered four Star Pearls in just one morning. Most of these peoples strengths were among the ranks of Body Refining Eighth Stage! With only one day left, in order to quickly gain points, Wang Chen had been avoiding as much as possible those with strength at the Ninth Stage of Body Refining and True Martial Artist, only seeking out those whose strength was roughly similar to his own.

  Under the bonus of four Star Pearls yesterday, his points reached one hundred and eighty-two, ranking ninety-second, just a little short of breaking into the top ninety. Wang Chen naturally wouldnt give up this opportunity!

  On this last day, the atmosphere was even more tense. In just one morning, Wang Chen discovered dozens of places where looting battles broke out. It seemed that these few days had made the demonic beasts nobodys concern! The real battle had shifted to the looting battles!

  Especially today, everyone is starting to make a last-ditch effort to rush up the scoreboard!

  This is the performance of the last few days of the monthly assessment, this is what is called the devils three days!

  His true yuan restored, Wang Chen walked out of the forest with a steady pace, leaving behind a row of deep footprints that were clearly visible wherever he passed.

  Stepping on dry leaves, accompanied by the crisp cracking sound of withered branches, is particularly jarring in such a quiet environment.

  Walking out of the dark forest, I finally saw the sunlight at noon, and suddenly everything in front of me was bright and clear. Feeling the warmth brought by the sun, Wang Chen let out a long sigh.

  "Someone is ahead!" Suddenly, Ling Zhans voice in his mind made Wang Chen alert, and he quickly looked around, but didnt see anyone. He couldnt help but show a hint of confusion on his face!

  "Hes a true martial artist, hurry up and leave, youre no match for him!" Ling Zhan continued with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

  But before the words had fallen, a burst of air-piercing sound quickly came, and immediately a figure with extreme speed, like lightning, swiftly swept towards Wang Chen, and in the blink of an eye, it had already rushed to his front.

  "Wang Chen, 92nd on the Star Chart! Heh heh, didnt expect to run into you! Youve been quite elusive these past few days!" The newcomers voice was low and husky as a faint, cold smile spread across his face.

  He was about twenty years old, thin and gaunt, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and a pair of eagle eyes that emitted a cold aura.

  When he saw this person, Wang Chens eyebrows furrowed tightly, and indeed it was a true martial artist!

  "Kong Jie, ranked twenty-seventh!" Wang Chen said in a low voice. If he hadnt misjudged him, this guy should be Kong Jie, the twenty-seventh on the ranking list, with a True Martial First Stage strength!

  Wang Chen took a deep breath, thinking that he had encountered such a powerful warrior, especially Kong Jie, who was said to be ruthless and ferocious in his methods. Once engaged in battle, one would inevitably suffer injuries. What made him infamous was his killing intent. It was said that many people within the Xingchen Sect had admitted defeat during battles, yet still fell victim to his treacherous hands! However, for some unknown reason, he had never been punished!

  "Is it war or surrender the Star Pearl?" With a slight frown, Kong Jie asked in a cold voice, his tone even more hoarse, with a sinister smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, his eyes like swords!

  Looking around, Wang Chens eyebrows slightly furrowed as he rapidly thought to himself. After entering the True Martial Artist ranks, his abilities in all aspects had been greatly enhanced and were no longer comparable to those of a 9th-stage Body Refining cultivator. Now, if he encountered a 9th-stage Body Refining martial artist, he might still have a chance to win, but if he encountered a True Martial Artist, he would definitely have no chance.

  "Haha, kid, youre in trouble now! I think Ill just give him a Star Pearl and spare him the injury. No need to make things difficult for no reason!" Ling Zhan said with a sly smile, looking at Wang Chen.

  Is it really necessary to hand over the Star Pearl? Wang Chen was somewhat reluctant! More importantly, his unyielding heart did not allow him to admit defeat without a fight.

  "Since youre looking for death, dont blame me for taking action!" Seeing Wang Chen remaining silent over there, Kong Jies face suddenly darkened, and he immediately decided to take action and rob him.

  "Mountain Collapse Fist!" Unwilling to fall behind, in an instant, Wang Chen had already made a decision, no matter what he would not easily hand over the Star Pearl!

  "Youre courting death!" Seeing Wang Chen still wanting to resist, Kong Jies mouth corner revealed a hint of cold smile, and he let out a cold snort.

  In an instant, the speed increased several times, with several consecutive flashes, and before Wang Chen could react, it swept in front of him. A punch was thrown out, with a dense aura, at this moment, Wang Chen felt Kong Jies ferocity.

  Moves like lightning, with an unstoppable momentum, the style is grand and powerful, bringing forth a howling wind, sharp and unmatched! Every move reveals a killing intent!

  Bang...

  Two loud crashes echoed through the air.

  He only felt a surge of powerful force spreading through his arm, and Wang Chens entire body seemed to be thrown into the air, violently retreating.

  It heavily smashed onto the big tree behind and then fell to the ground!

  Before he could get up, Kong Jie pounced on him again, his fists flying, casting a shadow over the sky, not giving Wang Chen any chance to breathe, like a raging wave, the attack was relentless!

  In a flurry, a wolf-like donkey rolled over, Wang Chen borrowed the strength of his arms to jump up and resist with all his might!

  Feeling the terrifying impact, Wang Chen secretly cried out in his heart. Indeed a true martial artist, the power was completely beyond his own capabilities. With the help of his true yuan energy, each punch could unleash a force of three thousand catties. Every time he clashed with his opponent, he could feel his arms emitting pained moans, as if they had already reached their limit and were on the verge of being broken at any moment.

  Pain spread throughout his body, and even with the help of Ghost Steps, Wang Chens speed was fundamentally unable to compare with his opponents. He was suppressed at a disadvantage, retreating step by step, surrounded by danger, and for a time, he was in a desperate situation.

  Kong Jie has fully entered the state, with fierce and ruthless moves continuously unfolding, flowing like clouds and water, each move fatal! That thin body is now emitting a terrifying explosive force!

  His face was even more ferocious, and his whole body emitted a strong killing intent, as if he wanted to send Wang Chen to his death!

  The thunderous sound continued, and the two peoples fists and feet kept intersecting, pulling open a virtual shadow in the air, making peoples eyes dizzy.

  "Darkness Level: Mountain Split!" Seeing Wang Chen continuously retreating and already showing signs of weakness, Kong Jie revealed a sinister smile. A despicable kick to the groin made Wang Chen struggle to defend himself while revealing his killing intent, using his ultimate move!

  Only to see Kong Jies palm transform into a fist, in an instant, his palm seemed to have increased several times, like a shining long knife, slashing horizontally towards the head.

  At the initial stage of Xuanjies low-level martial skills, seeing such a situation, Wang Chens heart sank even further, shouting "not good", from this it can be seen that this guy has at least been in the top thirty of the Star Chart for ten whole months, otherwise he wouldnt possess such martial skills.

  "Split the earth!" Under helplessness, Wang Chen could only retreat!

  "Bang......"

  Another fierce impact sent Wang Chen flying backward like a kite with its string cut off! His body crashed through three trees before finally falling to the ground.

  A suffocating feeling in his chest, he opened his mouth and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. His body twitched slightly. The tearing pain made Wang Chen feel dizzy, with a blackness before his eyes.

  Gritting his teeth and enduring the unbearable pain, a hint of resentment in his eyes, Wang Chen pinned his last hope on his final move!

  Quickly gathering the remaining true yuan in his body, he condensed it into his palm and burst out with a green light. This was his final move. Hopefully, it would be effective here!

  "Seven-tier body refinement? Not bad, much stronger than those trash, but unfortunately youre still not my match. Today I can spare your life! Hand over the Starlight Pearl and Ill let you live!" Seeing Wang Chen survive his attack, Kong Jie was also taken aback for a moment! Then, he slowly walked up to the injured Wang Chen and said in a calm tone, with a hint of condescension.

  However, though he said so, a faint killing intent flashed across his eyes.

  Furrowing his brow slightly, this tone made Wang Chen feel disgusted. With a stubborn gaze at Kong Jie, Wang Chens eyes were resolute, and he was secretly anxious in his heart. The green light was rapidly condensing into a layer, two layers, and in the blink of an eye, it had already formed three layers of power! Behind his back, a palm-sized green energy ball was swirling in his hand.

  Its still not enough, the previous confrontation allowed Wang Chen to have a deeper understanding of the True Martial Artists strength. Although it was only a first-stage True Martial Artist, Wang Chen knew that his past self had underestimated the strength of a True Martial Artist.

  Three-layered Green Light Blast was once used against Lin Rous Nine-Stage Body Refining, at that time I thought such power could harm a True Martial Artist, now it seems that it cant pose a great threat to a True Martial Artist, at least not until four-layered Green Light Blast.

  Sweat kept dripping down from his forehead, and with just a little more effort, Wang Chen anxiously watched as Kong Jie approached him.

  The true yuan force inside the body was like a galloping Yangtze River, rushing towards the palm and condensing as it went.

  "So youre not going to hand it over?!" In the blink of an eye, Kong Jie had already arrived in front of Wang Chen, less than a meter away, and asked coldly.

  "In that case, you can go die!" Suddenly, he burst out violently, his hand seemingly condensed into a true yuan, and a palm struck towards Wang Chens head, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
