Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system-Chapter 344: Ch-: Entering the Rankings
"It's impossible. At the very least, you need to be in the Pure Core Realm to even qualify for the rankings. And besides, cultivation level doesn't matter as much—it's judged by the number of beasts you've killed. Those ranked have thousands of beasts recorded under their names. There's no way to catch up in such a short time," Tang Nian said with a snort.
"Then I should start killing. And after what you've seen, do you really think I can't do it?" Wang Ming said confidently, causing Tang Nian's eyebrow to twitch.

She didn't reply, only clicked her tongue. Now that she thought back to that devastating technique of his… maybe he could. Doubts started to creep into her mind as she walked toward the hunting grounds with them.

After some time, Wang Ming, Tang Nian, and Min Li arrived at the hunting grounds. Wang Ming's lips twitched as he looked at the players around them, while Min Li and Tang Nian appeared a bit tense.
"Tsk, compared to them, I feel like a noob. I should really start working harder," Wang Ming said, clicking his tongue as he eyed the players. Min Li and Tang Nian stared at him blankly, and the tension they felt moments ago immediately faded.
'Work harder, your head… You've already killed a bunch of players—do you want to start killing more just to compete with them?'
Min Li and Tang Nian had the same thought as they warily observed the players engaged in battle with the beasts. Many of them were in the Pure Core Realm and likely veterans. The girls didn't believe they could achieve results like Wang Ming in such a short amount of time.
What made them truly wary, though, was the red aura surrounding those players—similar to Wang Ming's, which marked them as player killers. The most surprising part was that almost all of them had red auras, which meant they were players killers like Wang Ming. The reason Wang Ming said he needed to "work harder" was because their auras were much darker than his. A few even had black auras, signifying they had likely killed hundreds of thousands of players—far more than Wang Ming, who had only killed a few thousand.
On Earth, if there were VR games, such numbers might raise doubts—humans there weren't accustomed to killing, especially in such realistic settings. But here, where killing was a normal part of life, and people would take lives without hesitation for personal gain, the act of killing players in a virtual world seemed insignificant. With sects holding hundreds of thousands of disciples and the Black Bamboo Kingdom's population reaching into the millions—most of whom used this training facility—such high kill counts were entirely possible.
"Hey, I don't think it's safe for us to be here. What if they gang up on us and try to eliminate us?" Tang Nian asked with a frown.
"Hmm, I don't have a problem. Even if they could kill me—which they won't—I've already completed my task," Wang Ming said with a shrug, his voice tinged with arrogance.
"Ouch! Why did you do that?" Wang Ming flinched as he felt a sharp pinch at his waist. He looked over to see Min Li glaring at him while pinching him with an irritated expression.
"You might be done, but we're not, you know," Min Li said, her eyebrow twitching as Wang Ming continued to ignore her. She was about to say something else when Tang Nian interrupted.
"Look… they're coming toward us. I think they want to rob us," Tang Nian said darkly, her eyes narrowing at the approaching group—one of whom had a pitch-black aura surrounding him.
"Relax. I'm also at the Pure Core Realm. I can easily deal with them," Wang Ming said calmly, which helped the girls settle down a bit.
After a brief silence, the group stopped in front of them. Wang Ming could clearly see the greedy looks in their eyes as they stared at the weapons and strange rings the three of them were carrying.
"Do you want something, gentlemen?" Wang Ming asked with a polite smile.
"Shut the fuck up," one of the men snapped rudely, his eyes scanning Wang Ming and the girls behind him with a sinister grin. He then leaned closer, eyeing Wang Ming's sword with interest before nodding in satisfaction.
"Hand over your sword and your storage ring. That sword looks like high quality—it'll fetch a nice price from noob players, I could also get benefits from the them in the real world" the man said, already fantasizing about getting rich in the virtual world.
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed across the field, and the group behind the man froze immediately. The man touched his cheek, shocked to find a red handprint blooming there.
"Sigh… These third-rate villains are everywhere. I've lost count of how many times I've run into them. Even in the virtual world, these pests show up. I think I should just kill them and collect the loot from their bodies. What do you two think?" Wang Ming said with an exhausted sigh.
He genuinely looked tired. Encounters like this had become routine. Honestly, he was a bit surprised they hadn't demanded the girls behind him as well, considering their beauty.
Tang Nian and Min Li, standing behind him, looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They too were tired of running into people like this—it was something all cultivators dealt with in the wild.

Heavenly Sword Sect
The room had been silent ever since Tang Nian joined the disciple group from the Yang-Yin Sect. Among the group, they could only recognize Min Li. The other person—masked and mysterious—was the true anomaly. They were left speechless after witnessing him obliterate an entire forest.
One hour later
They were now watching a scene that left the entire room in stunned silence.
Clang
The sword in Hui Mei's hand slipped from her grasp, hitting the floor. Tang Ning, who had been pouring tea, didn't stop, causing it to overflow from the cup.
Everyone's eyes bulged as they read the text floating in front of them.
