Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

Chapter 89 Scoring

Fortunately, the tactic went very smoothly over the next week. With the close and efficient division of labor among all team members, everyone quickly accumulated the basic score required to pass.

Looking at the faces of his team members, brimming with confidence and fighting spirit for the upcoming tasks, Zhou Mingyu, now free from any worries, knew it was time to start racking up points to achieve a higher ranking.

The mission level assessment system of the Spirit Transmission Academy is based on the general strength of students in each grade. For example, arresting a five-ring Soul King would only be considered a yellow or purple level mission for sixth-grade students whose cultivation level is generally above five rings, but for second-grade students like Zhou Mingyu who generally have a cultivation level of three or four rings, it would be a black level mission.

However, for Zhou Mingyu, whose combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level, this is a good opportunity to rack up points.

At this moment, Zhou Mingyu was leading the core members of his team to a remote port in Tianhai City. They had come on a mission issued by the Tianhai City government to help them capture a spy planted by the Star Luo Continent and prevent him from escaping by ship.

Since the mission location was in Tianhai City, finding the person was not a problem using the intelligence network of the Tianhai Spirit Pagoda. However, according to the intelligence they provided, the target was a five-ring Soul King. Therefore, Zhou Mingyu chose to have others guard the perimeter for monitoring while he carried out the close-range capture alone.

Zhou Mingyu had already entered the port. He scanned the area with his mental energy and found his target.

He was a disheveled middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat that was a size too big for his head, with the brim pulled low, and his face covered with a messy beard. From his appearance, he looked like an ordinary fisherman, busy working in the harbor.

However, it was useless under Zhou Mingyu's powerful mental scan.

Zhou Mingyu walked up to him and said calmly, "Surrender yourself? Or should I do it myself?"

At this moment, he seemed to realize that he had been exposed. He looked up at the boy standing in front of him, but seemed to want to play dumb and said, "Huh? Young man, what did you say? I can't hear you!" As he spoke, he quietly put his right hand behind his back.

All of this naturally did not escape Zhou Mingyu's keen eyes. He immediately saw through the middle-aged man's intentions. Sure enough, the next second, a murderous intent flashed in the man's eyes, and five spirit rings of "yellow-yellow-purple-purple-purple" flickered around his body. "Third spirit skill, Shadow Blade Assault."

A black dagger, wreathed in shadowy aura, appeared in his right hand and stabbed towards Zhou Mingyu.

Goodbye, young man.

The instant he thrust out, a smug smile appeared on his face, as if he could already see the gruesome sight of the boy's blood splattering everywhere.

However, Zhou Mingyu did not panic at all. Just as the dagger was about to pierce his body, a long sword that shimmered with a bright blue light appeared in his hand. Then, a cold light flashed, and before the middle-aged man could react, he saw a horrifying scene.

He saw that his right hand, which should have been holding the dagger, had been severed, and blood was gushing out, but before it could fall to the ground, it instantly turned into a pile of bloody ice shards.

His entire body was gradually enveloped by an extremely cold sensation, as if he had been placed naked in a frozen wasteland.

Just before his consciousness faded, he finally remembered who the boy in front of him was, but he only managed to utter one sentence: "Zhou..."

""

Only after confirming that the target had been frozen into an ice sculpture and incapacitated, did Zhou Mingyu take out his soul-guided communicator and say to the people on the periphery, "It's all taken care of. Come and clean up the mess."

Zhou Mingyu, along with several classmates, rushed back to the Spirit Transmission Academy from the mission center. Their arrival caused a small commotion as soon as they stepped into the mission center.

After handing over the Fifth Ring spy to the Tianhai City government, the team's score surged, eventually settling at five...

With a score of over 1,000 points, the team jumped to the top of the leaderboard.

To be honest, it's incredible that in such a competitive assessment, we were able to complete all the basic score targets for all members in just one week and even push the total score to over 5,000.

This also made the other team members look at the high numbers on the leaderboard with envy and urgency.

Unlike his teammates' joy, Zhou Mingyu stood in front of the points display screen and saw that the points of the other two teams following closely behind were also steadily increasing. He realized that the more this was the case, the more he could not let his guard down.

So they immediately decided to complete a few more tasks to further solidify the team's advantage.

Next, he selected two more Black-level missions and quickly developed new mission plans, leading the entire team back into intense action.

Fortunately, thanks to their excellent teamwork and strong individual abilities, they quickly identified the two Soul King wanted criminals.

However, during these two pursuits, Zhou Mingyu did not choose to simply push forward. Instead, he mobilized the entire team, hoping that they could develop better teamwork and combat experience through this.

Of course, he wouldn't let these third and fourth ring team members go head-to-head with the fifth ring Soul King; instead, he would choose to outsmart them.

Facing the first wanted criminal, a Soul King, he directed his team to lay numerous traps along the target's likely route, using the terrain and Soul Skills to gradually corner him.

In the end, to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures and risking the lives of one or two members, Zhou Mingyu chose to personally take action to finish them off, using the Xuanbing Sword to subdue them directly.

Ultimately, the mission was successful, and the perpetrator was apprehended and brought to justice through the team's collective efforts.

Immediately afterwards, they rushed to the hiding place of the second wanted criminal.

This time, the wanted criminal was even more cunning. In order to evade capture, he actually hid in the sewers. Given the extremely complex underground sewer system of the city, it made it quite a search for the group of people.

Finally, thanks to Zhou Mingyu's keen mental abilities, they quickly eliminated the corners and eventually found the other party's trail.

After a fierce battle, the team once again emerged victorious, albeit with some close calls.

With the capture of these two Soul King wanted criminals, Zhou Mingyu's team points increased significantly again, creating a huge gap between them and other teams.

At this moment, the twenty-odd members of the team were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and tired but gratified smiles appeared on their faces.

Seeing the tired faces of his teammates, Zhou Mingyu knew that everyone had put in tremendous effort during this period, so he decided to let them relax a bit.

Finally, after carefully studying the mission list in the mission center, he focused his attention on a purple-level group forging mission from the Federal Research Department.

The task is not difficult; it simply requires the team to forge a certain amount of rare metals, which must be delivered to Mingdu.

Thinking of the various scenic spots in Mingdu, Zhou Mingyu also felt that this was a perfect opportunity. He could not only complete the task to earn points, but also take the opportunity to take his team members to Mingdu to relax.
