I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World - Chapter 374: Willow Garden Hunt Begins

” Everyone, please get to your seats and grab your snacks. The Willow Garden Hunt is about to begin.”

” Whoaaa! So many people here.” Bing Luo Luo looked around with wide eyes, ” There must be many powerful people here, right?”

” You can say so.” Long Ming chuckled; his divine sense had already warped the entire space. There were quite some interesting figures hidden in the crowd.

” Uncle, when I grow up, I will also participate.”

” You sure will, Luo Luo.” Long Ming grinned, ruffling her hair. ” Now, watch the match properly. You will gain many insights from them.”

Gigantic water screens floated around, streaming the scene from the willow garden. Many small bird puppets flew in the garden, their eyes streaming the scene to these magical curtains.

’ Tsk, better definition than the baseball match we got back then.’ Long Ming couldn’t help but approve of this live streaming.

This made the betting easier!

Fu Mingwu gripped the spiked knuckles tightly, his palms already sweaty. The Willow Garden Hunt had officially begun, and the entire outer area was buzzing with killing intent.

Thousands of young cultivators from various clans and small sects had poured into this vast hunting ground, all hungry for points and the sweet taste of bloodline advancement.

’Master Long… you really sent me here to die, didn’t you?’ Fu Mingwu thought bitterly, but he still straightened his back. He couldn’t embarrass that lecherous monster in front of everyone.

“Remember the rules!” An elder’s voice boomed across the garden. “Ethereal Yaos and Aboriginals are your prey. Kill them, harvest their cores or totems, and earn points. The top fifty will receive heavy rewards, including the Blood Blaze Pill!”

Fu Mingwu took a deep breath. This was his chance.

Ethereal Yaos, strange creatures born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth itself. They had no proper intelligence, only pure instinct and hunger.

Some looked like glowing deer made of mist, others like floating crystalline wolves. When killed, they dropped Ethereal Cores that could greatly nourish a cultivator’s bloodline, especially for those with dormant demonic heritage.

One could say they are demonic beasts who failed to evolve. And if they failed to evolve? They are simply fish on a chopping board, a delicious fish on top of that.

Aboriginals, on the other hand, were primitive humans who had lived in these wild lands for countless generations. They possessed strong bodies and crude control over heaven and earth energy, but their minds were simple and savage.

However, even a small amount, they could use the power of heaven and earth, like a Harmonization Realm cultivator. A single aboriginal can kill many cultivators in the same realm.

The ranking of Ethereal Yaos went from Rank 1 to Rank 4, same with Aboriginals:

Rank 1: 10 points (Qi Condensation level)

Rank 2: 50 points (Violet Palace Expansion)

Rank 3: 200 points (True Core Formation)

Rank 4: 1000 points (Primordial Spirit Unification)

Though they kept points for Rank-4, there wasn’t any Primordial Spirit Unification realm participants who joined the hunt. Everyone here are juniors.

“Fu Mingwu, you ready?” A tall youth with a broadsword on his back grinned beside him. Chen Wei, a brute from a small clan, always liked charging head-first.

Beside him stood a cold beauty in green robes, Qi Xueyu. She carried a slender sword and gave a small nod. “Don’t hold us back.”

Fu Mingwu forced a smile. “Let’s do this.”

The three of them formed a temporary team and dashed into the dense willow forest. Trees with glowing leaves swayed gently, hiding countless dangers.

Not long after they entered, screams and explosions echoed everywhere. A group of disciples from the Thunder Wolf Clan was already fighting a herd of Rank 2 Ethereal Yaos that looked like ghostly pale panthers. One panther pounced, its claws tearing through a cultivator’s shoulder in a spray of blood.

“These things are everywhere!” Chen Wei laughed excitedly, swinging his broadsword and cutting a Rank 1 Yao in half. Golden mist burst out as a small core fell into his hand. “Ten points already!”

Qi Xueyu moved like a ghost, her sword flashing coldly. She pierced through the head of another Rank 1 without wasting any movement. “Focus. We need at least two hundred points each to enter the top fifty.”

Fu Mingwu nodded and punched forward. The spiked knuckles Long Ming had personally taught him whistled through the air. When it landed on a Rank 2 Ethereal Deer, the creature’s body blew back, crashing into a tree. Chen Wei jumped forward, severing the antlers of the deer at once.

Fu Mingwu took the chance, pulling out a dagger and killing the incapacited deer at once.

’ Hmm, that pervert’s technique isn’t bad. But it lacks deadly force. I should think of a different approach.’ Fu Mingwu was lost in thought before Chen Wei shouted, ” Fu Mingwu, hurry up!”

They continued deeper, collecting points steadily. Chen Wei was laughing like a maniac every time he killed something. Qi Xueyu remained silent and efficient. Fu Mingwu kept up, his body covered in sweat but his eyes burning with determination.

Then the atmosphere changed. Qi Xueyu raised her sword, pointing at another direction.

” Who is there!?”

Fu Mingwu and Chen Wei halted their steps as they became vigilant. After all, they trusted Qi Xueyu’s perception.

” Hmph, not bad at all.”

From the bush emerged five young men, each wearing a yellow cloth belt around their waist. Chen Wei shouted in surprise, ” Aren’t you from Golden Jade Villa?! Huang Cheng, what are you doing here?”

” Since you know us, then why resist?” Huang Cheng stepped forward, ” Hand over your point plaque, and we will let you leave.”

” Hoh? Sorry, but I don’t think I am in the mood for giving something to beggars.” Fu Mingwu caressed his fists.

As the competition rule says, killing each other is strictly prohibited. However, stealing the plaque and injuring is tactically agreed upon.

Fu Mingwu was on guard the moment he entered. After all, he developed some smartness after being repeatedly swindled by Long Ming for a long.

” Hahaha! Refusing the toast, only to force drink the forfeit.” Huang Cheng sneered as he waved his hands. A giant iron mace appeared, with golden spilkes glinted on it.

” Crush those bastards!”

Fu Mingwu nodded at two of his friends as they jumped into the fight. Knuckles on one fist and holding a dagger in the other, Fu Mingwu twisted his body as he went after the rightmost disciples of Golden Jade Villa.

As the fight between both parties continued, techniques and weapons clashed against each other.

However, outside, the viewers suddenly noticed an anomaly.

” Huh? Look there! What’s happening?

The elders who were in charge of the hunt were stunned when they saw a red marker moving on the map. Suddenly, one of the water screens shattered.

” Damn it! I was watching the fight!”

” Bring back! Bring back the view!”

The crowd was obviously dissatisfied, but the elders were worried for another reason.

” Didn’t you say the Rank 4 Blood Fox couldn’t leave the main zone?!”

” It somehow escaped and was charging towards the Fourth Region!”

The issue isn’t the Blood Fox. It’s just a Primordial Spirit Unification realm, Ethreal Yao. They could kill it with a slap. Not to mention, they had partially sealed its strength.

However, it was designed to face many disciples at once, so they could witness their teamwork, individual strengths, and strategy. But now that it has escaped from its designated zone, it would be like a disaster inside.

Another concerning fact is that the entrance of the Willow Garden naturally seals after the test begins. They need a permission token from White Crane Hall to force open the gate.

” Hurry up and get to the White Crane Hall. Tell them there are some anomalies here!”

While Fu Mingwu and Huang Cheng’s group fought, suddenly, a breath of flames covered the sky.
