Chapter 250 - 250 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

250 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

“Boom!”

Lu Benwei broke out of the ice. His two origin bloodlines were activated, and his blood was boiling like lava. The frost quickly condensed on his body, and then quickly evaporated.

“Boom!”

He threw out a punch with great force and hit the Ice Lotus. The Ice Lotus was sent flying, and it pierced through the top of an ice mountain, shattering it into pieces.

The Ice Lotus was furious. It had never been in such a sorry state before. The ice attribute elements in the space gradually became violent as it became angry. Endless ice and snow suddenly fell from the sky, cutting Lu Benwei’s skin like a knife.

“Heavenly Light Shield!”

Holy light shined on Lu Benwei’s body and dissolved all the attacks.

Lu Benwei swung his fists, and his fists were like shooting stars. Meteorites fell and pierced through all obstacles. Countless holes appeared on the Ice Lotus’ body, and they were extremely unsightly.

“Die!”

The Ice Lotus was furious. The ice elements went berserk again, surging toward the ice blade in his hand. Then, the Ice Lotus turned into a huge ice blade that seemed to be able to cut through the sky and the earth.

Seeing this, Lu Benwei took in a cold breath and took out his Ancient Sword of Clarity.

“Swish!”

The destructive power gathered on the sword, and the sword hummed.

“Divine Sword of Destruction!”

The destructive sword radiance swept across the sky and earth.

The Ice Lotus waved the sky-splitting cold blade in his hand and cut the mountains and rivers!

Boom!

The powerful destructive force drowned the ice, and the cold blade quickly shattered under it.

The Ice Lotus’ pupils trembled as he said in shock, “How is that possible?”

However, in just a second of hesitation, he was drowned by the sword light that filled the sky. All the violent aura in his body was swept away, and he finally revealed his original form.

Lu Benwei did not hesitate and directly took it off and put it in his storage ring. It was also at this moment that the system’s voice suddenly sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the approval of the spirit of a secret realm for the first time. You have obtained the Eye of Insight (secret realm power).]

Lu Benwei shivered and then looked at Eye of Insight (secret realm power).

[Eye of Insight (secret realm power): After the host possesses this skill, he can see through all the opportunities in the secret realm.]

“The user can see through all the opportunities in the secret realm?! Isn’t this peeking into the heavenly secrets?”

Lu Benwei sighed. It was rumored that the secrets of heaven could not be revealed.

If an ordinary person wanted to use a secret technique to pry into the heavenly secrets, they would be punished by heaven.

Now, Lu Benwei obtained the power to pry into the heavenly secrets. This power was so terrifying that he was a little hesitant.

“No matter what, I’m still someone with a cheat. What’s wrong with peeking at the heavenly secrets?” Lu Benwei patted his head and said.

Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong.

“When did I get the approval of the spirit of the secret realm?”

As soon as he finished mumbling to himself, the system’s voice sounded again.

[It’s because you’re the only person who has passed the ninth level in so many years. You’ve obtained the recognition of the Nine-story Treasure Mountain and obtained the seal of the mountain.]

“I see.” Lu Benwei rubbed his chin and sighed.

After that, he went down the mountain to find Chu Yan and the others. At this time, Lu Benwei found that many people had gathered under the Nine-story Treasure Mountain.

They were all top students from the top hunter universities around the world. They knew that they could not compete with the nine hunter universities, so they decided to challenge the Nine-story Treasure Mountain.

“At the top of this Nine-story Treasured Mountain lies the peerless Ice Lotus. It grows within the ice that has been frozen for thousands of years. It possesses the purest ice elemental power. If an ice magician takes it, his strength will naturally increase. Even if an ordinary hunter takes it, he’ll be able to use a powerful ice skill in the future!”

Many people obtained information about the treasure on the ninth floor from various sources. Suddenly, many people were tempted.

“I remember that Lu Benwei from Zhejiang Hunter University entered the ninth floor first. How can we get him?”

“You said that the magician who is living off Wang Zining had entered? But only one person can enter at a time. Without Wang Zining, how long do you think he can survive there?”

“That’s right. I’m afraid they’ve been frozen into ice fragments by now.”

Lu Benwei sneaked behind the crowd and immediately heard the ridicule.

At this time, a hearty laugh was heard. A burly man came out of the mountain on the seventh level and steadily landed among the crowd.

“Haha, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to explore the nine levels of the mountain. I got a one-rune stigma without any effort.”

The burly man’s voice was filled with pride as he bragged to the crowd.

When the others heard this, their eyes widened. “What’s the test on the seventh floor of the mountain?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a level-40 monster. Although I spent a lot of effort, I was lucky to get a one-rune stigma. My efforts weren’t in vain.”

Some of the people were very surprised.

“The seventh floor has a level-40 monster?”

Everyone looked at that person and saw that he was one of the participants who had passed the seventh level of the mountain.

After asking, he found out that the sixth floor also had a level-40 monster. After that, the other successful challengers also informed him that the first to fifth floors also required him to defeat a level-40 monster.

Although these monsters were of different grades, they were all level 40. Those who were at level 40 could still deal with them.

The eighth floor was also cleared by someone, and when the person came down, they were told that there was also a level-40 monster.

Many people were filled with regret when they heard this. If they had known earlier, they would have gone ahead and occupied the Ice Lotus on the ninth floor.

“Strange, Lu Benwei was the first to enter the ninth level, so he should’ve come down long ago, right?”

“Damn, did you guys forget? He’s a magician. What kind of attacks can a magician have? Let alone a level-40 monster. He can’t even defeat a level-35 monster.”

“I already said that Lu Benwei would probably be frozen now.”

Lu Benwei heard this group of people’s ridicule and sighed. He turned around and was about to leave. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped.

“What do you guys think? After he has battled the Ice Lotus, we’ll join forces and snatch it away.”

“F*ck, you’re so evil. You know that it’s not easy for magicians to defeat monsters, but you still want to take their spoils of war,” someone raised his eyebrows in excitement and said, “But I like your idea!”

As a result, many people joined forces and had evil ideas about the Ice Lotus.

“But when will Lu Benwei pass the ninth floor test?”

“It’s fine, I’ll go up and take a look,” one of them said and was flying in the air.

“It’s not necessary. I’m already here.” Lu Benwei’s cold voice sounded.
