Chapter 0006: Slaying the Oyster Eagle

"Hehe, impressive! Look at my prowess." William, filled with a competitive spirit, picked up a large rock and threw it, then proceeded to hurl everything he had prepared beside him towards the treetops, which were about seven or eight stories high.

Horizontal hanging

Whenever a sound resonates, a brilliant azure sword mark appears in the space where the Azure Sword Eagle is located. This azure sword mark seems to be frozen in front of and behind the Azure Sword Eagle, lingering and refusing to dissipate.

"Wait a moment, let me climb up to the treetop before taking action. If you cannot bring it down, it will surely provoke a strong counterattack. Just think about the sonic projectiles this giant emits; even if you survive a hit, you will be severely injured. So if you can bring it down, I will leap down and continuously strike with my sword. If you cannot bring it down, that is fine; just try to attract its attention. While it is attacking you, I will launch a surprise attack from the side."

Strong collapse

After hearing a series of eagle cries and beast roars, the sound wave lizard and the oyster red eagle both unwillingly met their demise. The two exchanged a smile and collapsed onto the ground, as this battle had indeed been somewhat forced.

Cloud pressure

Hahaha, this is so exhilarating, so exhilarating. Nanxing, we have taken down another one, taken down another one. Let me think, which one is this? The fifth one or the sixth one? William truly could not remember; he only remembered that it was a thrilling fight.

Xuan Yuan Nan Xing rotated his body and subtly landed on the treetop, with the thick branches swaying beneath his feet, thereby offsetting the impact of the fall from a great height

Three minutes later, a loud "whoosh" of wind was heard as the wooden spear charged towards the sound wave lizard. This creature, capable of surviving the hunts of past humans, is indeed formidable and possesses a very high level of vigilance

It's nothing, just practice more and you'll get it. It's all basic swordsmanship from m.hetushucom.com in the academy. By the way, I heard that the oyster red eagle is worth quite a bit! Your light ion cannon and my Dragon Rising laser sword rely entirely on this windfall

"Nansheng, that sword is truly beautiful; even the instructor may not compare to you," William praised without reservation

Rushing in, the fruit tree, over five meters high, with roots that are actually seven to eight meters long, is merely a sapling in the forest. However, to uproot it and throw it nearly fifty meters into the air is no ordinary feat. William truly lives up to his reputation as a top-tier powerhouse of the academy

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish

The sound wave lizard is indeed a formidable character; during its descent, it opens its mouth to unleash a sound wave blast, striking directly at the body of the oyster red eagle. Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Nanxing is gracefully spinning in the air, narrowly evading this fierce attack.

With the final strike of the sword, the laser sword in Xuanyuan Nanxing's hand shattered into countless specks of light. A look of terror appeared in the eyes of the Red Eagle; it could no longer sense the presence of its wings. The eagle's claws attempted to grasp something, but they loosened their grip on the sound wave lizard.

The howling sound was incessant, and William struck with considerable force. However, this sonic lizard, with its tough skin and thick flesh, managed to withstand the violent impact. It opened its large mouth to counterattack, unleashing a sonic blast with the power of a cannonball, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently. No wonder the score for hunting one of them is equivalent to that of three.

A sonic boom erupted from the treetops, and the sound wave lizard, startled like a frightened reptile, twisted its body as if to flee

The sixth one should be evenly distributed, which means I have already overhunted two, and you have overhunted one. The food in the backpack is insufficient, so we will head back tomorrow morning, and on the way, we will look for a few lizards to hunt, striving to reach the top twenty.

To normally deal with a sonic lizard, one would typically use a crossbow bolt and expend some energy from the lightsaber. However, with the introduction of William, this powerful weapon allows for the possibility of saving the crossbow bolts. By striking the sonic lizard down from the tree in that brief moment, one can also conserve a significant amount of energy, and it eliminates the hassle of having to scurry around in the tree.

Ah? Valuable, why didn't you say so earlier? The Tower Boy stood up again, crafting the Great Eagle with renewed enthusiasm

William, attack

It was an oversized sonic lizard measuring up to 3 meters in length. For nearly a decade, the Federation had designated Iron Hoof Star as an examination site, with the intention of using graduates to eliminate these indigenous beasts. Once the danger level is reduced to a certain extent, large-scale immigration can commence. However, some indigenous beasts have been reproducing at an accelerated rate, such as the sonic lizard, with those measuring 2 meters long being born in recent years. Only the massive specimens, like the one in front of us, are remnants from over a decade ago.

When ranking scores, students from the same region are generally considered as a single unit. The top twenty does not refer to the entire college, but merely to the top twenty on the same transport ship. The population of Jialan Star is relatively small; if it were those administrative stars, the assessment would be even more spectacular

William ran up to the sound wave lizard, raised a large stone, and struck it. Xuanyuan Nanxing descended from the tree, drew William's laser sword, and rushed towards the eagle, executing a horizontal slash with the sword.

With a loud "pop!", the sound wave lizard forcefully swung its body, unexpectedly pushing back Nanxing and preventing him from launching a second strike. It seems that this creature is quite familiar with human combat tactics

What? Are we going back to the *picture* book tomorrow morning? Oh, that's fine, the taste of the fruit is really good. How about we explore deeper into the forest this afternoon? It would be best to take down another eight or ten. I heard that the rewards for the graduation assessment are very important; it would be best to get a large sum of money to buy an ion cannon.

When two individuals cooperate, the efficiency significantly increases

"Damn it, dare to steal my kill, you are not allowed to leave!" William shouted loudly. Just beside him stood a five-meter-tall Yanguo tree, which he forcefully uprooted with sheer strength. With his eyes reddened, he ran forward, using the momentum to hurl it fiercely at the Xie Hongying.

"I made a profit. This three-meter-long giant is worth the equivalent of three ordinary ones. Nanxing, watch me bring it down. You need to be careful when you make your move; don't get hurt."

Stab

William possesses a strong fighting spirit and is unwilling to give up easily. He, Xuanyuan Nanxing, aspires to stand out in the future. Should he retreat like a turtle when faced with danger? No, absolutely not. Therefore, he seizes the opportunity to grasp the Yanguo tree and ascends into the air, exerting all his strength in basic swordsmanship.

In the midst of the howling winds, a gigantic red eagle, with wings spread out to a length of no less than six or seven meters, was vigorously flapping its wings. This eagle, covered in bumps and reflecting a metallic sheen, was none other than the top predator of the Iron Hoof Star biological chain, the oyster eagle

Good

These nine swords encapsulate Xuanyuan Nanxing's fifteen years of swordsmanship experience, and can be regarded as the pinnacle of his work at this moment. If the energy of the laser sword in hand were to be stronger, it might just be able to cleave the oyster red eagle into pieces. However, even if it cannot reach maximum lethality, after the nine swords, the oyster red eagle would still suffer from a strike by the sound wave lizard, which would be quite enough.

The sonic lizard sadly discovered that its body was falling. At that moment, a beautiful blue light swept past its side. When it fell to the ground, it could no longer rise, and beneath it lay a large expanse of crimson blood in the forest.

Due to the eagle's broad wings, falling from the sky onto the treetops inevitably results in being pierced by sharp branches. Subsequently, falling from the treetops to the ground, the bird spews blood wildly from its beak. Although it does not die immediately, it is already breathing out more than it is breathing in

William turned and ran, prompting the sound wave lizard to chase him through the treetops. At that moment, Nanxing made his move; a streak of azure light, swift as lightning, cut through the air, and a spray of blood shot into the sky

Block

Without any hesitation, Nanxing quickly retreated; this fellow is too difficult to deal with, and alternative strategies must be considered

"Alright, let's do it this way." William spat twice into his palm, slightly moved his shoulders, and picked up the giant spear beside him, fully focused, ready to launch an attack as soon as Nanxing was prepared

Alright! Truly, the ignorant are fearless. William only feels that this great eagle is detestable for daring to snatch the fruits of his and his comrades' labor. The sound wave lizard has already been injured, and the assessment scores are within reach. At this moment, he cannot easily give up, so he intends to bring the great eagle down. Yet, he does not consider how formidable the eagle would be if it were to release its claws. Even the tenacious sound wave lizard was caught without any chance to resist. How difficult could it be to deal with two young human children?

Ambush!

Chop!

The afternoon passed quickly; when the blazing sun revealed only half of its face, they found another eleven sound wave lizards to eliminate. Nanxing had already exceeded his quota by seven and a half, with the harvest far surpassing expectations. The two prepared to hunt the last one and began their return, having already located the target.

Counter-tease

Upon encountering the trees, the sound wave lizard was dragged upward by the red-tailed hawk as much as possible. If it were not for the excessive weight of this sound wave lizard, it would have already ascended to several hundred meters high, why bother with such a trivial attack

The academy has so many graduates, and the transport ships to Iron Hoof Star are not just one, but actually more than three hundred. They will head to different locations, some to tropical rainforests, some to polar glaciers, and others deep into volcanoes

Since the target for hunting has already been determined, how could it possibly escape? Within less than five seconds, a second giant harpoon came whistling through the air, followed by various debris such as stones and wooden stumps, all propelled by immense force.

A dull thud echoed from the treetops as the sound wave lizard forcefully swung its body, unexpectedly using sheer strength to deflect the massive spear that William had thrown. This was a situation that the two had never encountered in their collaboration.

The southern star shot out five crossbow bolts, two of which were aimed at the sonic wave lizard, while three were directed at the eagle-headed creature. The vitality of these two beasts is indeed tenacious; despite such an assault, they are still alive. If given time to recover, it would become quite troublesome

The fruit tree grew taller and taller, almost level with the sound wave lizard. At the edge of the forest was the half-setting sun. I watched as William's strike was evaded by the oyster hawk, and suddenly, the light of the sword flashed.

No one expected the sudden surge of the anomaly; the canopy became suffocating in an instant. A powerful wind pressure descended from the heights, and a pair of sharp, giant claws appeared like a specter, gripping the back of the sound wave lizard and lifting it into the sky.

Turbulence

William, this fellow, is always thinking about the ion cannon. Nanshing smiled slightly and nodded, agreeing that the opportunity should not be missed

Amidst the sound of slicing through the air, a four-meter-long giant spear shot upwards. Nanxing began to somewhat believe William's words; he truly was qualified to use a light ion cannon, this guy was nothing short of a humanoid monster! One wonders what he had been fed to grow like this
