Battle for Supremacy Across Realms: From Novice Village to Lord of the Gods

At the critical moment, Lei Jue once again gathered electricity in his palm, and another bolt of lightning struck the snake's head precisely.

The giant snake shuddered, paralyzed once more, frozen in place, unable to move. The other six dared not linger.

They immediately scattered and hid, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would become the snake's prey.

Once the paralysis effect completely wore off, the giant serpent went into a frenzy.

It could clearly sense that only Lei Jue could cause it any real harm; the others were nothing but clowns.

It raised its head, flicked its tongue, let out a piercing screech, twisted its massive body, and pounced straight at Lei Jue.

Lei Jue turned and fled. He knew all too well that his lightning manipulation talent was not yet mature enough to unleash it continuously.

Each move has a cooldown period of more than ten seconds, which is the skill vacuum period. Fighting head-on is just suicide.

The six teammates were loyal to the team. Seeing their leader being chased and in a sorry state, they immediately circled behind the giant snake and began to slash wildly with their knives, their strength increasing several times over.

The giant snake convulsed in pain and had no choice but to turn around again to deal with the group of attackers behind it.

In this back-and-forth struggle, Lei Jue controlled the battlefield by timing his cooldowns.

The six men took turns harassing and restraining the ferocious, highly venomous nine-ringed serpent, tormenting it until it was completely drained of its energy and spirit. Its momentum continued to decline, and its defeat and death were only a matter of time.

Emperor Qin watched with great interest and immediately activated his True Sight Eye, scanning the highly venomous nine-ringed snake. A clear attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

[Ferocious Beast]: Highly Venomous Nine-Ringed Serpent

[Level]: Level 1

[Combat Strength Assessment]: Three Stars

【Characteristics】: Brutal, Bloodthirsty, Highly Poisonous

Drop Rate: 0.1%

Upon seeing the words "drop rate," Qin Dilin's eyes lit up slightly. He hadn't expected that hunting ferocious beasts would yield items; it was an unexpected bonus.

However, this 0.1% probability is truly appalling; with a chance of one in a thousand, getting the goods depends entirely on luck.

He had just finished thinking it over when the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Lei Jue timed the cooldown perfectly and unleashed the final bolt of lightning, striking the giant serpent squarely in its vital spot.

The highly venomous nine-ringed snake let out a mournful hiss, its massive body collapsing limply to the ground.

Completely powerless to resist, the six men rushed forward and hacked at the giant snake until it was completely lifeless.

The giant serpent twitched a few times, and suddenly a blinding white light shone from its body. The light instantly split into seven orbs of light of varying sizes, which flew straight into the bodies of the seven people.

The ball of light that surged into Lei Jue's body was clearly the thickest.

The ball of light entered the body only moments before the scene erupted in a cacophony of noise, with some rejoicing and others expressing their frustration—the emotions were remarkably genuine.

"Haha! I got 5 energy points, what a steal!"

"I was only at 3 o'clock, so I was just a bystander the whole time."

"Damn it, why do I only have 1 point? I clearly slashed several times, this contribution level is outrageous!"

"Little Li, stop complaining. Heaven distributes rewards according to contributions, it's very fair. If you're bad, practice more and complain less."

"Sigh, never mind, it's my fault for not being good enough. I'll stick with Boss Lei next time."

Qin Dilin, hidden in the shadows, took in everything and instantly figured out the rules of the team hunt.

The group works together to kill the ferocious beast, and then the energy is distributed according to individual contributions. This is a system designed by Heaven to encourage newcomers to band together for survival.

In his view, however, this distribution method was extremely uneconomical.

A highly venomous nine-ringed snake has only 40 energy points. If it is shared among seven people, some people can only drink the leftover soup. Even if Lei Jue contributes the most, he will not be able to get more than 20 energy points at most.

On the other hand, by killing the ferocious beast alone, he could enjoy all the energy, pocketing all 40 points.

Compared to this, his sense of happiness was immediately boosted, and he felt more and more that going it alone was the way to go.

As he was pondering this, an even brighter white light suddenly erupted from the arena, spreading out from Lei Jue's body.

The light instantly illuminated the entire area, drawing the attention of everyone present. Qin Dilin also raised an eyebrow, surprised.

The white light dimmed in an instant, and Lei Jue slowly opened his eyes, a smile he couldn't hide playing on his lips, his expression arrogant, and his aura several degrees stronger than before.

"Boss Lei, why did you suddenly startle me? You scared me!"

"Yeah, I thought something had happened. Boss, are you alright?"

Everyone rushed forward, their voices filled with concern and curiosity. Lei Jue glanced at them indifferently, feigning nonchalance: "Nothing much, I just leveled up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in excitement. Everyone looked at Lei Jue with awe and envy, and gasps of amazement rose and fell.

"Holy crap! Boss Lei leveled up to level 2 in one go? That's incredible!"

"As expected of the boss, no one can match his leveling speed!"

"I'm only level 1 with 17/100, I'm a long way from level 2, there's no comparison."

Qin Dilin, hidden in the bushes, was also somewhat surprised. Since entering this area...

This was the first time he had ever seen a human successfully advance to level 2, and he couldn't help but wonder how much their strength would increase from level 1 to level 2.

Seeing Lei Jue's smug expression, Qin Dilin immediately activated his True Sight Eye and scanned Lei Jue, whose attribute panel immediately appeared clearly.

Race: Human

[Level]: Level 2

【Strength】: 20

[Agility]: 22

[Physical Constitution]: 19

Energy: 21

【talent】:???

【Skill】:???

[Combat Strength Assessment]: Two Stars

Upon seeing the data, Qin Dilin was first taken aback, then almost burst out laughing, his heart filled with disdain.

He never expected that a level 2 human's four-dimensional attributes would be inferior to his own level 1 attributes.

Even with the addition of the lightning manipulation talent, Lei Jue's basic attributes are already quite low.

His overall combat strength barely reaches the three-star threshold. If he were to fight a level 1 venomous nine-ringed snake alone, the odds would be even at best, and he would often lose more than he would win.

Qin Dilin, on the surface, is only level 1, but his combat power has reached the limit of two stars. With the addition of various talents, his true combat power is close to four stars, and even touches the ceiling of four stars.

If it really came down to a fight, he could easily take down three or four Lei Jue, not to mention that his level was one level lower than Lei Jue's.

Having figured this out, Emperor Qin could no longer hide the smile on his lips, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

He stood quietly in the shadows, watching Lei Jue being surrounded and praised by the crowd, and found it all extremely ridiculous.

A sudden commotion erupted in the crowd. A middle-aged man slapped his thigh, his voice hoarse with excitement.

"This is awesome! Boss Lei has leveled up! Now we've got Chen Jun's revenge all set!"

Someone nearby immediately stepped forward and asked urgently, "Old Wang, what happened to Chen Jun? How could a perfectly healthy person just suddenly be gone?"

The man called Old Wang's face immediately darkened, and he sighed repeatedly, his tone filled with lingering fear and regret.

"Don't even mention it, it was bad luck. Chen Jun and I were ordered to scout ahead, and as soon as we entered that grove of trees, we ran right into two highly venomous nine-ringed snakes."

The snake's body was thicker than a water bucket, and its flicking tongue was terrifying. We realized something was wrong and turned to run back.
