Chapter 114: On the Warship (Part-13)

Ryan’s sword qi trembled slightly before piercing straight through the combined storm of energy. Like a blade slicing through paper, it shattered the five attacks and continued forward without losing momentum.

Boom!

Another thunderous explosion erupted. Blood sprayed across the sky, and fragments of flesh scattered like rain. The five Upper Exalts were struck head-on. Under the terrifying force of the sword qi, their internal organs were pulverized, and their bodies were torn apart midair.

The scene was horrifying beyond words.

The next moment, the five Upper Exalts lost all control, their mangled bodies plummeting from the sky like broken kites.

The clash between Heaven’s Guidance and the combined attack ended with absolute dominance.

Almost immediately, system notifications rang out in Ryan’s mind.

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for killing an Upper Exalt, gaining 377,000 experience points. God of War value: 0.”

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for killing an Upper Exalt, gaining 384,000experience points. God of War value: 0.”

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for killing an Upper Exalt, gaining 484,000experience points. God of War value: 0.”

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for killing an Upper Exalt, gaining 491,000 experience points. God of War value: 0.”

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for killing an Upper Exalt, gaining 571,000experience points. God of War value: 0.”

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for obtaining 150 all-attribute pills.”

More than two million experience points surged in at once.

Two One-Star Upper Exalts contributed nearly seven hundred thousand experience. Two Two-Star Upper Exalts added close to a million more. The Three-Star Upper Exalt alone provided over half a million.

Just killing these five Upper Exalts had filled nearly one-fifth of Ryan’s progress bar.

At this rate, advancing again would only require about twenty more Upper Exalts.

The thought alone made Ryan’s eyes shine.

In addition, those five Upper Exalts had also dropped a total of 150 all-attribute pills.

After the system store was unlocked, Ryan understood exactly what this meant. One all-attribute pill was equivalent to one God of War value. In other words, these five Upper Exalts alone had handed him 150 God of War values in one go.

This was an enormous fortune.

Of course, this was not all. During the chaotic prompts earlier, Ryan had clearly obtained many more attribute pills, but because the notifications had been too dense, he had not checked them carefully. Exactly how many all-attribute pills he possessed now was something even he did not know.

But one thing was certain.

After this battle, Ryan was no longer poor.

At the very least, he was no longer that version of himself who had to count every God of War value carefully.

Below, on the Void Warship, the crowd was once again shaken to the core by Ryan’s performance. His strength had overturned their understanding yet again, revealing an even more terrifying level.

Even five Upper Exalts joining forces were unable to withstand him.

Strangely enough, however, no one cried out in shock this time. Compared to before, everyone seemed… calmer.

Almost as if they had grown used to it.

Yes. Used to it.

Ryan had challenged stronger opponents again and again, delivering one impossible feat after another. Each time, he shattered their understanding, until shock itself became something familiar.

The first time, he silently slaughtered masked warriors and saved all the candidates inside the ship.

The second time, he charged onto the trestle and massacred the masked warriors, relieving the pressure on Western Mansion’s experts.

The third time, he killed a flying Upper Exalt head-on.

The fourth time, he wiped out every masked warrior on the trestle in a single move, destroyed the trestle itself, and even damaged both warships.

And now, the fifth time, he had annihilated five Upper Exalts at once, their combined assault collapsing before him in an instant.

Each time, Ryan revealed strength greater than before. Each time, the enemies he faced were stronger than the last.

Shock turned into numbness.

At this moment, even if someone claimed that Ryan could slaughter all the Upper Exalts in the sky or even challenge a Lord rank expert, many aboard the Void Warship would simply nod in belief.

Because they were already accustomed to miracles.

Turning decay into wonder.

Turning the impossible into reality.

This was Li Wei of Fengyue City.

At the same time, anticipation quietly rose in everyone’s hearts. They began to look forward to what Ryan would do next.

For those who did not know him, the question remained the same: Who exactly is this candidate?

For those who knew him, the question was even more terrifying: Where is Li Wei’s limit?

High in the sky, after killing the five Upper Exalts sent to stop him, Ryan’s gaze once again locked onto the remaining Upper Exalts still fighting the Western Mansion examiners.

Having tasted the sweetness of battle again and again, Ryan was already deeply addicted to the feeling of harvesting experience.

There were still forty to fifty Upper Exalts locked in fierce combat with the main examiners of Western Mansion.

Each Upper Exalt was worth nearly four hundred thousand experience points.

Forty to fifty of them meant sixteen to twenty million experience points.

An outrageous amount.

Enough to push Ryan up one, perhaps even two more levels.

The more he thought about it, the hotter his blood burned. No one could resist such temptation.

“Kill. Kill.”

Ryan’s fighting intent surged.

As long as he moved, all that experience in the sky could become his.

With a burst of speed, he flew straight toward the battlefield of the Upper Exalts.

The first figure he searched for was Wang Zongyao.

Fortunately, Wang Zongyao was still alive.

He was fighting bitterly, barely holding on.

As the examiner of Fengyue City, Wang Zongyao possessed the strength of a One-Star Upper Exalt and could be considered formidable. Unfortunately, he was facing two opponents of equal level.

Two against one.

From the very start, Wang Zongyao had been suppressed.

In his hand was a blood-red blade, and his body was clad in black armor. Without these two items, he would have long been defeated and sent plummeting from three thousand meters in the air.

The blood blade allowed him to launch fierce counterattacks, barely holding his enemies at bay. The black armor absorbed a large portion of the damage, saving his life again and again.

Even so, after such a prolonged battle, Wang Zongyao had reached his limit. His strength was exhausted, and he was only forcing himself to continue.

Seeing this, Ryan did not hesitate.

His wrist flipped, and a wind blade instantly condensed in his palm and shot toward one of the Upper Exalts besieging Wang Zongyao.

At the same time, Ryan gripped the Afterimage Sword and flashed toward the other.

“Basic Sword Art: Break!”

A cold flash of light erupted.

The Upper Exalt had not even realized that Ryan had arrived behind him when the sword pierced straight through his heart. His body stiffened, then fell lifelessly from the sky.

Almost simultaneously, the other Upper Exalt let out a short scream. The wind blade sliced through his waist, cleaving his body in two. Blood scattered as he too lost control and fell.

In the blink of an eye, both Upper Exalts were dead.

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for killing an Upper Exalt, gaining 364,541 experience points. God of War value: 0.”

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for killing an Upper Exalt, gaining 374,511 experience points. God of War value: 0.”

“Ding, congratulations to the player Ryan for obtaining 60 all-attribute pills.”

Three prompts rang out in Ryan’s mind.

“Uncle Wang, are you alright?”

After killing the two Upper Exalts, Ryan immediately flew to Wang Zongyao’s side, checking his condition.

Aside from exhaustion, Wang Zongyao did not appear to have suffered any fatal injuries.

“This…”

“Li Wei… why are you here?”

Wang Zongyao stared at Ryan in disbelief. In a single exchange, Ryan had casually slain the two Upper Exalts who had pushed him to the brink of death.

He knew Ryan was strong. He had even seen Ryan kill Upper Exalts before.

But this… this was too much.

The enemies who had completely suppressed him were wiped out in two moves.

Instant kill.

Even a Four-Star or Five-Star Upper Exalt would struggle to do this.

Yet Ryan had done it effortlessly.

But beyond shock, a deeper confusion rose in Wang Zongyao’s heart.

Wasn’t Ryan supposed to be protecting his daughter on the Void Warship?

If Ryan was here…

Then where was his daughter?
