You said you'd fail to awaken your powers, but you're actually a master of top-tier abilit

"The elemental energy here is incredibly concentrated, at least three times that of Cave 2 in Linjiang City!"

"The concentration of heaven and earth energy in the No. 2 underground cave in Linjiang City can give birth to third-order ferocious beasts. It is estimated that fourth-order ferocious beasts are very common in the No. 4 underground cave in Shanghai, and fifth-order ferocious beasts are not uncommon either."

After entering the No. 4 underground cave in Shanghai through the passage, Su Ming keenly sensed the density of the energy of heaven and earth in this space, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

His mental strength has greatly increased, and the more than 2,000 units of mental strength have made him more sensitive to his surroundings.

The rich energy of heaven and earth in the No. 4 underground cave in Shanghai made him more vigilant.

He has just broken through 10,000 Qi and Blood, barely passing the threshold of the early stage of the fourth rank martial artist.

Although he unleashed his full power, using the A-level superpower Berserker Heart and the C-level perfect Cloud-Piercing Spear Technique, a total of 40 times the combat power, he could instantly unleash more than 400 million calories of combat power.

However, this 400 million calorie combat power is only equivalent to that of an ordinary martial artist who has just entered the fifth rank.

If he were to encounter a fifth-tier ferocious beast in the underground cave, he would have a very difficult time defeating it.

He possesses the A-grade combat suit "Blazing Sun Set," which allows him to withstand attacks from fifth-tier ferocious beasts without injury, but Zhao Renjie may not have such advanced combat armor for defense.

The mission is to protect Professor Zhao Renjie of the Demon Sea University. If anything happens to Professor Zhao Renjie, the mission will fail.

In order to earn those 120 credits, he must be extremely vigilant, wary of any ferocious beasts that might appear at any moment, and ensure the successful completion of this mission.

"Junior Brother Su Ming, there's no need to be so nervous. We've been to the No. 4 underground cave in Shanghai many times before. Although there are fifth-tier ferocious beasts inside, the ferocious beasts around the location we're heading to this time are at most late fourth-tier. With our current lineup, we can handle it perfectly well."

Seeing Su Ming constantly scanning his surroundings, Song Zihan smiled and said to him.

In her eyes, Su Ming's actions were due to his nervousness about his first visit to the No. 4 underground cave in Shanghai.

"Zihan is right. Our team is strong enough that we don't need to worry about fourth-tier ferocious beasts at all."

"Moreover, even if we encounter a ferocious beast at the early stage of the fifth tier, we are capable of killing it. Junior Brother Su Ming, please don't worry."

Just after Song Zihan finished speaking, Zhang Yang's voice rang out, and he looked at Su Ming with a confident smile on his face.

Among the four students at the Magic Sea University, he had the highest Qi and Blood, reaching 70,000 points.

As a student of the Demon Sea University, Zhang Yang is also a genius not to be underestimated. He has mastered an A-level martial art and cultivated it to the intermediate level, possessing a maximum combat power burst of 12 times.

When unleashed at full power, it can deliver an attack with over eight million combat power. Combined with Song Zihan and others, it is enough to deal with ordinary early-stage fifth-tier ferocious beasts.

"Um."

Hearing their conversation, Su Ming did not explain, but simply nodded slightly.

"roar--!"

Just as Su Ming finished nodding, a beastly roar came from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a magnificent tiger with a shoulder height of nearly three meters appear in their line of sight.

The striped tiger's eyes, wide with ferocity, stared intently at the group, its low growl carrying a strong warning.

"A mid-stage fourth-tier ferocious beast, the Golden-Striped Tiger. That guy's tiger whip is a real treasure!"

Upon seeing the ferocious beast appear, Zhang Yang immediately smiled, his eyes shining.

Beside him, Li Hao, upon seeing the Golden-Striped Tiger, also revealed an eager expression.

"Junior Su Ming, why don't you go up and show us your skills? Let us see the prowess of the martial arts champion who scored full marks in this year's college entrance exam."

Beside her, Song Zihan glanced at the golden-striped tiger not far away, then suddenly turned to Su Ming and tentatively asked in a low voice.

Although her voice was soft, the line was quiet at the moment, and her words immediately reached everyone's ears.

"A perfect score on the university entrance exam, already a fourth-level martial artist in his freshman year? This kid's that amazing? Doesn't that mean he's a special admissions student for this year's Demon Sea University?!"

Upon hearing Song Zihan's words, the four fourth-level military warriors who had followed her in all looked at Su Ming with surprised expressions.

Prior to this, they were unaware of Su Ming's identity, regarding him only as an ordinary third-year student at Demon Sea University who possessed the power of a fourth-level martial artist.

Unexpectedly, Su Ming was a freshman who had just finished the college entrance exam and even got a perfect score.

Besides the four fourth-tier military warriors, Zhang Yang and Li Hao also looked at Su Ming with great interest after hearing Song Zihan's words.

More than a month ago, Su Ming was able to achieve a combat power of 30 and get a perfect score in the college entrance examination. They also wanted to see how strong Su Ming's strength was now after more than a month.

"Then I'll take care of this golden-striped tiger!"

Upon hearing Song Zihan's words, Su Ming immediately nodded in agreement.

A mid-stage fourth-tier ferocious beast has quite a few enhancement points. When he first heard Zhang Yang's voice and saw Li Hao's reaction, he was thinking about how to get ahead of the two of them and take down the golden-striped tiger first.

He could forgo the rare materials from the Golden-Striped Tiger, but he couldn't forgo the thousands of enhancement points gained from killing it.

Unexpectedly, just when he was having a headache, Song Zihan gave him a helping hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming took the Obsidian Spear off his back and exerted force with his feet. He used the Cloud-Piercing Spear technique, which he had mastered to perfection, with all his might, and applied it to the muscles in his legs.

next moment.

boom!!!

A muffled thud came from Su Ming's feet, leaving a deep footprint on the ground. His figure shot towards the golden-striped tiger hundreds of meters away like a cannonball.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Seeing that Su Ming had covered dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, Song Zihan, Zhang Yang and the others' eyes lit up.

In that instantaneous burst of speed alone, Su Ming was no slower than a mid-stage fourth-tier martial artist.

"This little guy is pretty good!"

"That guy Liu Zhiming has actually recruited a good prospect for Mohai University."

In the center of the crowd, Zhao Renjie watched Su Ming rush out, pushed up his glasses, and smiled slightly.

"Cloud-Piercing Spear!"

In an instant, Su Ming had already rushed in front of the golden-striped tiger, his spear like a dragon emerging from the sea, the sharp tip of the spear aimed directly at the golden-striped tiger's vital point.

"roar!"

At the same time, the Golden-Striped Tiger roared in retaliation, its paws suddenly rising, and sharp claws like daggers shot out, striking towards Su Ming's obsidian spear.

Although Su Ming used the Cloud-Piercing Spear technique at its full proficiency, before activating his A-level superpower, Berserk Heart, the power of Su Ming's spear was only around 500,000 combat power.

In Jinwenhu's view, the attack from a mere early-stage fourth-order martial artist posed no threat whatsoever to him.
