Chapter 734: Chapter 445: Floating Person

Black Ring Star has 27 hours in a day.

To improve hunting efficiency, Ji Xinghuo would continually hunt for four to five days before taking a few hours of rest.

On average, he could obtain around 30,000 Spiritual Origin Ability per day.

This sense of accomplishment that came from hard work and the direct perception of increasing strength kept Ji Xinghuo highly motivated to hunt, so immersed that he hardly noticed time slipping by.

In the blink of an eye, another dozen days on Black Ring Star had passed, and Ji Xinghuo’s accumulation of Spiritual Origin Ability had just exceeded 500,000.

After replenishing his food supplies from a stronghold in the Silent Wilderness, Ji Xinghuo set off once more.

"It’s about time to change locations."

Ji Xinghuo flew through the sky, his electromagnetic induction scanning the earth below, noting a clear decrease in the number of Earth Devouring Worms.

Back at the stronghold, several groups of people were discussing this very issue.

More and more hunters were noticing the anomaly with the Earth Devouring Worms. The declining catch forced some to leave the Silent Wilderness.

And this affected Ji Xinghuo too.

The growth of his Spiritual Origin Ability had started to slow, often yielding just over 20,000 points in a day.

"Hunt for another ten days, then move on."

As Ji Xinghuo flew in search of monsters, he opened the satellite map of Black Ring Star, looking for a suitable hunting location.

It was only after covering more than 300 kilometers from the stronghold that he found a relatively concentrated group of Earth Devouring Worms. Arriving at their central distribution area, he landed and inserted the "probe" into the ground to activate it, the unique frequency of sound waves spreading out.

About a dozen Earth Devouring Worms were immediately attracted.

The Thunderstorm Sword turned into a series of electric light dragons, plunging into the earth, shredding any Earth Devouring Worms that entered within a kilometer radius into pieces.

[Spiritual Origin Ability +58]

[Spiritual Origin Ability +47]

Messages like these appeared one after another in his vision.

While Ji Xinghuo efficiently killed the Earth Devouring Worms with a focused mind, he was also pondering, "Not only are their numbers declining, but the average strength of the worms is also diminishing, which means each one yields less Spiritual Origin Ability."

Catastrophe monsters among the Earth Devouring Worms were rare.

At first, he would encounter one or two Flood Level Earth Devouring Worms every few days, but now he hadn’t seen any for over a dozen days.

Moreover, most of the Flood Level Earth Devouring Worms he did kill didn’t have any Star-falling Species.

Throughout the many days of hunting, he had only obtained two "Gravity Fields", which along with the ones he had before, meant he currently possessed three.

"When there’s time, I’ll make a trip to the Arctic Transfer Station and sell them to Calula, or maybe exchange them for Melting Pearls..."

Ji Xinghuo’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he turned to look towards the south.

That was the direction of the previously mentioned stronghold.

Constant electromagnetic induction enveloped a 200-kilometer radius; within this distance, the movements of many hunter teams and Solo Hunters were under his control. Before each kill, he had to make sure he wouldn’t be noticed by others.

Throughout all these days, aside from the stronghold, Ji Xinghuo never encountered anyone else while hunting in the Silent Wilderness.

Only a few hunters with sharp perceptions who noticed the disturbance from the Earth Devouring Worms occasionally rushed over.

Ji Xinghuo always avoided them.

The same was true this time, as his electromagnetic induction detected someone approaching from about 120 kilometers away. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It was a Solo Hunter.

Due to the distance, Ji Xinghuo could only infer from the magnetic field strength that the other party was a Legendary fighter, currently flying in the sky.

This person’s flying speed was very fast, approaching the speed of sound on Black Ring Star, but after observing for a few seconds, Ji Xinghuo noticed that the direction of flight was not directly towards him, but at an angle.

"Maybe he’s just passing by."

Ji Xinghuo wasn’t certain because when the other entered the 200-kilometer range, the flight direction was even further away, so he didn’t pay much attention.

However, during the process of closing the distance, the direction changed twice.

He continued to kill Earth Devouring Worms, keeping an eye on the other.

A few minutes later.

Most of the dozen or so Earth Devouring Worms had died, and the other was still flying rapidly, at a distance of about 80 kilometers, with the direction unchanged.

"Just a passerby..."

No sooner had Ji Xinghuo’s thought settled than the other person’s speed suddenly increased several-fold, and for the third time, he changed direction, closing in crazily towards Ji Xinghuo’s position.

"What incredible speed!"

He couldn’t help but exclaim, the speed of sound on Black Ring Star was about 400 meters per second, and this person’s speed had already exceeded Mach 3, reaching 1,200 meters per second, and was still accelerating, getting faster and faster!

Immediately, Ji Xinghuo frowned, "He’s really coming for me."

Such speed was beyond what ordinary Legendary beings could achieve; the magnetic field intensity fluctuated wildly, previously disguising the approach.

In just a few seconds, the distance between them had narrowed to just over 60 kilometers.

Ji Xinghuo decisively abandoned the remaining Earth Devouring Worms, retrieved the probe from the ground, wrapped his silhouette with the Thunderstorm Sword, and shot into the sky. He burst forth at a speed faster than the other and sped away in another direction.

A streak of lightning crossed the high sky, followed by rumbling thunder.

In the flash-like flight, Ji Xinghuo’s electromagnetic induction locked onto the person behind him. However, the other’s speed had once again increased to Mach 5.

The distance closed in even more.

Turning his head, Ji Xinghuo could now see the other person. A black dot on the horizon was rapidly drawing closer in his vision, becoming more detailed by the second.

"The Sky Clan!"

"No wonder he’s so fast."

Ji Xinghuo snorted inwardly.

Like the Winged People, the Floating People belonged to a branch of the Sky Clan, naturally gifted in flying and considered royalty of the skies.

However, the Floating People differed from the Winged People in that they had no feathers. With lightweight physiques and agile figures, they relied on their racial talent "Wind Control." Once awakened, they could master air currents to obtain the ability to fly.

The Floating People’s facial features and appearance were similar to humans, with average heights exceeding two meters, skinny like sticks and weighing half that of humans. Their skin was the color of the sky, seemingly so light it could be blown away by a breeze.

The Floating Person chasing behind was just so.

She was a Floating Woman, wearing a skin-tight, thin battle suit, with an elegant and slender figure, and a pair of arms capable of reaching her knees, spreading like a pair of wings when unfolded.

The fierce wind assisted, the airflow thundered loudly.

Ji Xinghuo saw the phenomenon behind the Floating Person – it was grand and stretched out for kilometers, like a hurricane passing by.

"Sky Patrol."

An evolved profession compatible with the Evil Wind Guest and Flying Steps, it was the most suitable for the Floating People’s talent profiles.

"This speed is definitely not something a Legendary Sky Patrol could achieve," Ji Xinghuo’s eyes showed confusion until now. Although the magnetic field strength of the Floating Woman had intensified, it was still within the Legendary range, with the energy fluctuations being concealed.

"It’s very likely to be the Heavenly King Third Dan," he thought.

"And not just a normal Sixth Rank powerhouse, but one at the peak of Sixth Rank!"

Ji Xinghuo felt a chill in his heart. At that moment, "Acceleration" let his speed break through the cruising limit, also reaching Mach 5.

He could travel two thousand kilometers in a second.

Their speeds matched closely, the distance between them stuck, but during the short time Ji Xinghuo accelerated, he had already closed the gap to just over 30 kilometers.

One following the other, neither giving up the chase.

Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power was rapidly depleting, but he couldn’t shake the Floating Woman off.

Decisively, he turned northward, heading towards the Arctic Transfer Station, knowing that if he reached the station, it would be guarded by military forces from the Rock King family.

Soon, the two of them flew over the center of the Silent Wilderness, where Ji Xinghuo’s electromagnetic induction detected a shuttle approaching from the north. The craft had just entered his perception range and aboard was a Sixth Rank powerhouse.

The person was making no effort to disguise their strength. Their magnetic field was special and mighty, possessing the Sixth Rank Peak capability!

"They have come prepared," Ji Xinghuo thought quickly. A shuttle’s maximum speed in the atmosphere could reach Mach 10, far surpassing his speed, and the shuttle could run on Source Energy without any degradation, making it easy for the enemy to cut off his route.

He looked up into the sky, it was daytime, and low earth orbit satellites could be tracking and locking on to him.

In his left eye, the Supreme Dark Magic Ball was ready to be triggered at any moment.

Ji Xinghuo remained outwardly calm.

Then, he suddenly decelerated and came to a stop, dispersing the Thunderstorm Sword Light, and stood suspended in mid-air to face the rapidly approaching Floating Woman.

The frenzied airstream carved out a white trail, closing in from afar.

Ji Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly. The woman was not only a Sky Patrol but had also mastered kinetic energy. Around her body, she had created a transparent spindle-shaped force field that perfectly conformed to aerodynamics, reducing drag and enabling her to fly faster.

In just a few seconds, the Floating Woman closed the distance to within five kilometers, then she also began to slow down, finally stopping a kilometer away.

Boom!

The airflow exploded, the residual impact of their flying shook Ji Xinghuo, and the sound of the sonic boom was deafening.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t budge.

The Floating Woman hovered in the sky, sizing up Ji Xinghuo as he also watched her.

Being both from the Sky Clan, Floating People weren’t as common as Winged People. Their species mainly resided in the northwest Dragon Territory of the True Dragon Dynasty. Seeing them in the south’s Candle Star Dragon Domain was rare, and one would occasionally encounter a few in Titanium Ring City.

Floating People were tall and light, with sharply pointed heads, and even their eyes were elongated - every part of their body conformed to aerodynamics. To most of the Human Race, they looked strange.

"Annihilation Jin?" the Floating Woman incredulously asked.

Her expression was cold and haughty, her elongated eyes fixing on Ji Xinghuo like a snake watching its prey.

Ji Xinghuo did not respond.

"I am Kong Ling," the Floating Woman indifferently stated her name. She continued flatly, "I’m here today without ill intentions, merely representing my lord in proposing a trade to you. My lord is willing to pay 1 million Ether Crystals to purchase your Annihilation Dragon."

million Ether Crystals!

It sounded like a lot, a vast treasure for the majority of the Mutant Race, but compared to the Annihilation Dragon, it was nothing.

"Who is your lord?" Ji Xinghuo demanded gravely.

He wanted to know who dared to covet his Annihilation Dragon within the Yuan Magnetic Territory of the Titanium Cobalt Family.

"You’re not worthy of knowing my lord’s name," the Floating Woman, Kong Ling, said dismissively. "My lord is the great Shepherd Star Saint, and it’s the greatest honor of your life that he is willing to trade for your Annihilation Dragon."

"Heh heh..."

Ji Xinghuo chuckled coldly. "Some hidden rat dares to claim ’greatness’?"

If that so-called "lord" were really that powerful, why didn’t they directly deal with the Titanium Cobalt Dragon King and take the Annihilation Dragon by force? Instead, they sent someone to Black Ring Star without daring to show up themselves – clearly, they feared the Titanium Cobalt Dragon King!

"Ignorant fool!"

The Floating Woman, Kong Ling, scowled, as if taking offense at the insult to her lord, evidently angered yet holding back from erupting. "You refuse to sell?"

"You never intended to buy," Ji Xinghuo quickly saw through the ruse.

She had not attacked yet because she was buying time for the shuttle to arrive, to join forces with her companion on board. The so-called 1 million Ether Crystals to purchase the Annihilation Dragon was just a façade; their only plan for the Annihilation Dragon was to steal it!

Kong Ling’s face changed.

But before she could react, Ji Xinghuo struck first.

With a booming thunderclap, he transformed into a lightning bolt and struck towards the enemy!
