C28 The Dark Night Is My Home Ground
The habit of Shadow Cat was to appear at night. Their eyes could easily catch prey in the darkness.
Therefore, most of the students would choose to hide in a corner that was prepared in advance after night, avoiding the large number of Shadow Cats that would be sent out at night.
Even those students with stronger cultivations were mostly the same.
Because without a large number of students helping them delay the Shadow Cat, it was very easy for them to be surrounded.
But Lu Chong was the exact opposite. He wanted to do the exact opposite and reap the harvest under the cover of the night.
What the cicada slough gave him was not only strong defense, but also his eyes that could easily see things in the dark night.
As for the possibility of being surrounded by the Shadow Cats, Lu Chong was not worried.
In terms of speed and agility, the Nine Shadow Step Perfection really wasn't inferior to the Shadow Cat of the same realm.
The dark night was also his home ground.
He casually slapped away a Level 2 Shadow Cat that was pouncing on him. At the same time, he swiftly took away the position indicator on the opponent's neck. To Lu Chong, this was just a basic exercise.
He didn't even need to hurt the Shadow Cat, he could easily scare the opponent.
All the Shadow Cat that was slapped away by him, because they had sensed Lu Chong's aura from a close distance, they wouldn't charge up again.
"As expected, hunting at night is the most enjoyable."
Lu Chong swept the streets as he adjusted his fighting style.
In the darkness of the night, there was no need for him to take the initiative to search. Naturally, there would be a large number of Shadow Cats throwing themselves at him.
Even if there were a dozen or so Shadow Cat surrounding and killing him at the same time, Lu Chong could still rely on the Nine Shadow Step to easily shuttle through the crowd of cats. He could come and go as he pleased.
When it was nine o'clock that night, Lu Chong had already obtained 128 points. He had also successfully entered the territory of Level 3 Shadow Cat.
At this time, on the scoreboard, the score of the 100 students on the scoreboard had slowed down.
Hsiang Yueya, who was ranked first, had a score of 356.
Qin Chuan, who was ranked 100th, had a score of 201.
...
In the monitoring hall, Wang Tong was still nervously staring with his eyes wide open as he switched between Lu Chong's live broadcast and the scoreboard.
Lee Chengjun, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Look at how bold your student is. He even dares to hunt alone at night."
"Really, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
Lee Chengjun sighed and said, "If this continues, I think he won't be able to last until tonight, so he has to be sent out."
Wang Tong did not pay attention to Lee Chengjun. At the same time, he was also worried about Lu Chong.
He felt that Lu Chong should not be an impulsive person, but why would he break the rules and act at night?
"Even with his martial skill level, moving at night will be very dangerous."
It was close to ten o'clock, and almost all the students were hiding.
Not only was it to avoid the large number of Shadow Cats that came out at night, it was also to preserve one's physical strength and prepare for the sprint at the back.
The combat assessment was long, and endurance was also one of the important factors.
In the front row, President Faang from Third High also saw Lu Chong's performance. Although he was surprised by Lu Chong's Perfection Stage Nine Shadow Step, it was only limited to this.
He looked at President Wai, who was sitting next to him with confidence, and found that this old friend had already fallen asleep on the chair.
...
In the dark night, Lu Chong did not stop. He continued to go deeper into the hunting ground. There was no Shadow Cat that could stop him wherever he went.
When he entered the territory of the Level 4 Shadow Cat, his score had doubled again, reaching 271 points.
"I have finally made it into the top 100. Continue to work hard."
Lu Chong continued to go deeper. The number of Shadow Cats rushing up from all directions began to decrease, but his strength became stronger and stronger.
However, it still couldn't pose a threat to him. The Nine Shadow Step and Monument Breaking Hand of Perfection Stage were enough for him to deal with them with ease.
Lu Chong stayed in this area for more than an hour. His score had reached 351, and he had jumped to the second place on the list.
If it wasn't for the fact that the number of Level 4 Shadow Cats had started to decline, and that he had already been harvested by the previous batch of students, his score would have been even higher.
However, Lu Chong didn't mind. He didn't rest and continued to venture deeper.
At this time, it was close to one o'clock in the morning. In the silent hunting ground, only the occasional sharp cry of the Shadow Cat could be heard.
The number of Shadow Cats was even rarer and stronger.
"Looks like I'll have to rely on myself to find it."
While Lu Chong was thinking, he began to actively follow the aura of the Shadow Cat and search the surrounding dark alleys.
The higher the level, the higher the Shadow Cat's intelligence would be. It could not simply be defeated by strength, and had to learn how to play hide-and-seek.
After passing through the wall of Level 1 covered with vines, Lu Chong entered an old and dilapidated three-story building.
"It's right here."
Lu Chong followed the relatively fresh smell to the dilapidated living room on the third floor of the building.
"Who is it?" A very low voice came.
Lu Chong took a look and saw that it was his classmate, Sun Ze.
In addition to Sun Ze, there were two other boys hiding in the living room, but Lu Chong did not know them.
These three must have formed a team to come to the territory of the Level 5 Shadow Cat. They would hide here and rest after nightfall.
From the looks of it, they were more or less injured, and they had been roughly bandaged.
The protective talisman would only activate when they encountered fatal injuries, so they were still able to persist until now.
If there were students who felt that they could not persist, they could also take the initiative to ask for help and leave the exam grounds with the score they had already obtained.
"Mr. Chong?" Sun Ze recognized the person and said with some joy.
This guy had been beaten up by Lu Chong twice, and when he saw that Lu Chong had reached the Martial Disciple Level 8, he was completely convinced. He followed the other students and called Mr. Chong.
Lu Chong nodded, then he looked at the three of them with a strange expression and said in a low voice, "You guys can really sleep?"
Sun Ze did not understand what he meant. He was stunned and asked, "What does Mr. Chong mean?"1
Lu Chong pointed to the beam behind the three of them and let them see for themselves.
Sun Ze seemed to have realized something. His body froze on the spot and he just turned his head to look.
Sun Ze's face instantly turned deathly pale when he saw this.
Heavens!
On the beam of the room behind them, there was a Shadow Cat with green light shining from one of its eyes, eyeing them covetously.
And just now, when he was on night duty, he actually did not notice it at all.
If not for Lu Chong's timely arrival, this Shadow Cat would have definitely taken advantage of the moment when they were relaxed to launch a fatal blow.
"What should we do? If we fight it here, I'm afraid that we will attract even more Shadow Cat."
The other two students had also woken up. When they saw this Shadow Cat that was waiting for an opportunity to strike, they were momentarily at a loss for what to do.
This was the horror of night. Once they were discovered by the Shadow Cat, they would only end up being eliminated. This was because no one could pin down the other Shadow Cat and help them out.
Sun Ze looked at Lu Chong, obviously wanting Lu Chong to make a decision.
Lu Chong smiled and said, "It's fine. I think the reason why it didn't make a move is that it's a companion."
"Perfect. We'll catch them all in one fell swoop."
Sun Ze was stunned. He couldn't believe it. Only the few of them wanted to surround them?
"You are crazy!" The other two students were scared to death. "We don't want to be eliminated so early."
