I Can Extract Abilities – Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Wanting to Hunt the Purple Night Poison Cat

“No need to retreat, I’ll deal with them.” Just then, Li Feng smiled.

The smile on his face was very bright. Li Feng was originally worried about how to find these people, but he didn’t expect them to deliver themselves to his door.

He looked at Zheng Chang’an and the other three, and said with a light smile, “Very good, I didn’t know where to find you, but I didn’t expect you to come to me on your own initiative. It’s just the right time to take care of you.”

“Take care of us? Big words.”

Zheng Chang’an’s face turned cold, feeling that Li Feng’s smile was very harsh on the eyes. He said, “Disable him. Let’s see if he can still smile then?”

“Okay!”

Xu Ziping sneered. The next moment, he charged towards Li Feng, his body surrounded by a cyan-colored gas, his speed terrifyingly fast.

“Flash Arrow.” But Li Feng’s speed was even faster. His speed attribute value had reached 18 points, the highest at the Beginner level.

Although Xu Ziping’s figure was fast, it still couldn’t escape his eyes. An arrow instantly condensed and shot towards Xu Ziping.

At the same time, Li Feng activated Stealth Mode, and Rx Pursuers were summoned around him, also entering stealth.

“What? An archery skill?”

Xu Ziping was shocked. This was his first time fighting Li Feng, and he didn’t expect the other party to have such a rare skill like archery.

Cyan light emanated from his hand as he reached out to grab the arrow with his bare hand. In an instant, blood splattered, and a hole was pierced through his palm. Xu Ziping couldn’t help but let out a cry of pain.

But before Xu Ziping could recover, several more arrows attacked him. He was in a flurry, constantly dodging, but his body was still pierced with two more holes, leaving him seriously injured and falling to the ground.

“With just your strength, I’m afraid you can’t handle me,” Li Feng sneered. At the same time, the Rx Pursuers started to move, stealthily approaching Zheng Chang’an and the others.

“D*mn it, let’s attack together. This kid is tough.” Zheng Chang’an and the others frowned. They originally thought that dealing with Li Feng would be a piece of cake, but unexpectedly, in just one exchange, Xu Ziping suffered a great loss. This outcome was somewhat out of their control.

Lin Hai said, “Be careful of his arrows, they’re too fast. Let’s attack him from a distance.” As he spoke, a fist-sized water ball appeared in his hand.

The next moment, the water ball flew towards Li Feng like a bullet.

And Ye Pingfan and Zheng Chang’an also activated their skills.

A fireball and a three-inch-long water jet, like flying needles, fell towards Li Feng.

“All Mage class skills.”

Li Feng frowned. Mage class skills were suitable for long-range attacks and were very powerful.

But he wasn’t afraid. If it were Warrior skills, they might pose a threat to him, but Mage skills were too slow in front of Assassin-type skills.

One Flash Arrow after another condensed above his head, meeting the incoming attacks head-on.

Boom!

The skills of both sides collided and exploded in mid-air. The terrifying shockwaves spread out, snapping nearby trees in half.

“Phew!” Li Feng’s face was slightly pale, his body almost blown away by the wind. Moreover, continuously using Flash Arrow consumed a lot of his mana.

“He can’t last much longer, finish him off,” Zheng Chang’an said cruelly, preparing to use his skills again to kill Li Feng.

Ye Pingfan and Lin Hai also said happily, “Okay.”

But they didn’t notice that at this moment, the Rx Pursuers had already surrounded them, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

“Explode!”

A cold light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes as he controlled the Rx Pursuers to self-destruct.

“Not good, dodge!”

A chill suddenly rose in Zheng Chang’an’s heart, as if something bad was about to happen. But it was already too late.

Boom, five Rx Pursuers exploded simultaneously, and the terrifying flames, like a tornado, engulfed Zheng Chang’an and the other two.

◈◈◈

“Water Jet.”

“Water Ball.”

Lin Hai and Zheng Chang’an roared simultaneously, using their skills to try to escape, but the water-based magic was quickly vaporized in the face of the flames.

Pfft, they both spat out a mouthful of blood, their eyebrows and hair were completely burned off, and their internal organs felt like they had been roasted, causing them immense pain.

Thus, Zheng Chang’an’s entire team was wiped out by Li Feng’s hands. This left Yang Wei, Sheng Xu, and Lin Ling’er dumbfounded. “Li Feng, how did your strength become so monstrous?” they asked.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen Li Feng’s Rx Pursuers before, but their power wasn’t this great back then. Now, it had doubled.

“Let’s go, continue hunting cat demons. Your rankings have dropped quite a bit.” Li Feng didn’t answer. When all his attributes reached their limit, the power of his skills also increased significantly.

Besides, his base stats were originally higher than these transfer students, so it wasn’t surprising that he could crush them.

Li Feng didn’t choose to kill them. Firstly, because this was the Gaokao, and it might be recorded by the score counter. Secondly, Zheng Chang’an and the others were already crippled and would be unable to participate in the Gaokao.

This could be considered as fulfilling his initial words, letting them go back to where they came from.

“O-okay.” Yang Wei and the other two were startled, and their speech became somewhat stuttered.

Afterward, Li Feng once again began a new journey of grinding points with the three, raising their rankings to the top 200 before stopping.

As the students continued their hunt, the number of cat demons in the Dark Cat Forest dungeon decreased. It became difficult for them to encounter cat demons in a short period. Yang Wei and the other two’s current results were considered stable.

Each of them had killed more than fifty cat demons. Yang Wei, Sheng Xu, and Lin Ling’er were ranked 210th, 212th, and 201st, respectively.

It would be difficult for this score to fall out of the top 500. Yang Wei looked at Li Feng worriedly and said, “Now that cat demons are becoming harder to find, what will you do?”

Li Feng was still in last place, having only killed one cat demon.

“If the little guys are gone, we’ll go find the big guy,” Li Feng said with a light smile.

The small cat demons were gone, but the boss was still there. Moreover, he had also hunted it in the game, and now he was confident he could do it again.

“Hiss”

Yang Wei and the other two gasped. Sheng Xu was even more apprehensive, saying, “Are you saying you want to hunt the Purple Night Poison Cat?”

“That Purple Night Poison Cat is very monstrous. I feel that it’s even more ferocious than Zheng Chang’an and the others. Let’s play it safe and slowly hunt the small cat demons. That way, it’s safer.”

Yang Wei also felt uneasy. Last time, he saw the Purple Night Poison Cat unleash its might, almost killing two transfer students. It made them feel scared.

“Don’t worry, since I’m going to hunt it, I naturally have confidence. If you’re scared, you can find a place to hide first. After I kill the Purple Night Poison Cat, I’ll come find you,” Li Feng said. Besides, there weren’t many small cat demons left for him to grind. If he wanted to win the Gaokao Champion in one fell swoop, he had to take a different path.

“Hmph, what do you take us for? It’s just a beast, why would I be afraid of it?” Yang Wei puffed out his chest.

Sheng Xu glanced at him and said sarcastically, “Hehe, it’s just a beast that’s on the same level as Thunderbolt Gobzan. I wonder who was trembling at the mention of Thunderbolt Gobzan’s name.”

“Thunderbolt Gobzan is different. That’s an evolved boss creature. Its strength far exceeds that of the Purple Night Poison Cat,” Yang Wei retorted.

Lin Ling’er also smiled and said, “I’ve been to the Dark Cat Forest dungeon many times, but I’ve never seen the Purple Night Poison Cat. Now’s a good chance to see it.”

In their words, none of the three showed any intention of backing down.

Chapter 41: Things Are Bad

Outside the Dark Cat Forest dungeon!

Yuan Zhen and Ye Buzhou, along with several other principals, were resting in a tent. In front of them was a huge screen.

It displayed the rankings of the Gaokao students.

“Hua An is indeed worthy of the Hua family. It seems that he will undoubtedly be the top scorer in this year’s Gaokao,” Yuan Zhen said with a faint smile as he looked at the rankings on the screen.

The Hua family was a prominent and influential first-rate conglomerate in Daqian City, and naturally, none of their descendants were ordinary.

Hua An was the second son of the Hua family. He had an elder brother, Hua Hu, whose strength was even more terrifying. Rumor had it that he was already close to the threshold of the Awakened level.

Following closely behind, ranked second, was Luo Feng, who was with Hua An. This made Yuan Zhen even happier. “It seems that Luo Feng of the Luo family is also quite good.”

The top fifty names on this screen were all transfer students. This made Qin Ling and Xu Chang feel somewhat resentful. Chengde County already had limited slots, and now a portion was being taken away. Anyone would find it unbearable.

“Huh? Why aren’t Zheng Chang’an and the others here?” Suddenly, Yuan Zhen frowned.

This display screen could only show the top one hundred rankings. The Zheng family’s influence was also quite strong, which made Yuan Zhen notice the anomaly.

“I heard that Zheng Chang’an and the others had a conflict with a student named Li Feng from Chengde County. I suspect they might be looking for trouble with Li Feng, which is why they haven’t been hunting many cat demons. After some time, they will definitely break into the top fifty,” Liu Jiang said from the side.

He was the County Leader of Chengde County and naturally paid close attention to these transfer students. Their backgrounds were significant, and if anything happened to any of them, he would be in deep trouble.

“Things are bad,” a soldier rushed in at this moment, his face filled with anxiety.

“Old Wang, what happened? Why are you so flustered?” Liu Jiang asked with a frown.

Old Wang replied, “While checking the surveillance, we discovered that Thunderbolt Gobzan seems to have run into the Dark Cat Forest dungeon.”

“What?” Yuan Zhen was shocked, his eyes flashing with a horrifying light. “Are you serious?” His terrifying aura burst forth, making everyone feel a sense of oppression.

Old Wang also felt this pressure, his face paling. “It’s true. A lot of evidence points to it. Thunderbolt Gobzan is hiding in the Dark Cat Forest.”

“This is terrible. Should we immediately stop the Gaokao?” Liu Jiang also became anxious. Inside the Dark Cat Forest were not only students from Chengde County but also those transfer students with astonishing backgrounds.

If something really happened, his career would be over.

“It’s too late to stop it now, and besides, we can’t get in. Send people in now to inform the students and tell them to retreat,” Yuan Zhen frowned deeply. If this matter wasn’t handled properly, there would likely be serious problems.

Even though Thunderbolt Gobzan had been injured by him, he was still not someone these students could handle. And for Beginner level dungeons, apart from Destruction level players, Awakened level and Professional level players simply couldn’t break in.

Moreover, the Dark Cat Forest dungeon was vast. Even if they sent people in now to inform them, it was uncertain how many students would be able to get out.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately,” Liu Jiang took a deep breath and quickly made arrangements. Orders were swiftly relayed, and the entire machinery of Chengde County began to operate.

Ye Buzhou also frowned deeply and sighed, “Now we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. It depends on their destiny.”

………

Inside the Dark Cat Forest!

Li Feng and his group had also stealthily arrived in front of the ancient temple. This was the lair of the Purple Night Poison Cat.

When they were still four hundred meters away from the ancient temple, Yang Wei’s legs started to tremble. He said with some fear, “Li Feng, maybe we should just forget it?”

“You guys wait here. I’ll go up and kill it,” Li Feng said, giving him an exasperated look.

Yang Wei said a little embarrassedly, “Ahem, let’s go together!”

“I also want to see how powerful the Purple Night Poison Cat is,” Lin Ling’er said, eager to try.

“Forget it. You guys will just get in the way. I can handle it alone,” Li Feng hadn’t intended for them to help in the first place. The main reason he brought them along was so he could continue to grind the cat demons after he was done. If his ranking fell behind, it would be troublesome.

Without waiting for their reply, Li Feng activated Stealth Mode and stealthily approached. His entire figure disappeared. At the same time, he summoned nine Rx Pursuers.

Dealing with the Purple Night Poison Cat wasn’t difficult for him. It was just a bit more resource-intensive.

He expertly used three Pursuers to clear out the forces surrounding the ancient temple. With a roar, the Purple Night Poison Cat furiously rushed out of the ancient temple.

◈◈◈

“Assassin’s Mark, Mechanical Enhancement,” seeing the Purple Night Poison Cat rush out, Li Feng immediately activated his skills. A mark in his palm was triggered and instantly landed on the Purple Night Poison Cat.

At the same time, the Rx Pursuers also received a power boost and charged towards the Purple Night Poison Cat like angry little bulls.

After using two mana-intensive skills in a row, Li Feng felt a wave of weakness. He had instantly lost more than half of his mana.

For some reason, the first time the Purple Night Poison Cat saw Li Feng, it was filled with rage and wanted to tear him apart.

However, when it saw the Rx Pursuers surrounding it, it felt a tremor in its heart. Its instincts told it to avoid these robots.

Rumble

Just then, the robots exploded. Flames soared into the sky, burning the Purple Night Poison Cat. It let out a wretched shriek. At this moment, the Assassin’s Mark was also triggered. The double damage nearly burned its internal organs to a crisp.

In an instant, the Purple Night Poison Cat was severely injured. It was even unable to use the large bell in front of the ancient temple.

“Flash Arrow.”

Seeing the opponent’s miserable state, Li Feng kindly ended its suffering. With a whoosh, the Flash Arrow triggered its guaranteed hit effect and instantly pierced through the opponent’s head.

“Tsk tsk, it even triggered the guaranteed hit effect. This Purple Night Poison Cat is really pitiful,” Li Feng sighed.

Ding, killed Purple Night Poison Cat, calculating points

The score counter seemed to freeze for a moment, not expecting someone to actually kill a Boss level creature.

Soon, a voice sounded, point calculation complete.

Student: Li Feng.

Score: 121 points.

Ranking: First place.

“Phew!”

Seeing the ranking, Li Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. A single Purple Night Poison Cat was actually equivalent to one hundred and twenty cat demons.

The battle ended quickly, but his consumption was not small. He had used all his means.

“The Purple Night Poison Cat is dead just like that?”

Yang Wei and the other two stared with wide eyes. They had been waiting nervously on the side, but the entire battle process didn’t even last fifteen minutes.

In their eyes, Li Feng had effortlessly killed the Purple Night Poison Cat.

“Am I dreaming?” Yang Wei pinched Sheng Xu’s arm hard and asked, “Does it hurt?”

Sheng Xu glared at Yang Wei angrily. “Of course it hurts. Why don’t you pinch yourself?”

“I’m not that stupid. You know it hurts, so why would I pinch myself?”

Sheng Xu was speechless. That made perfect sense. But when he realized what had happened, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’m going to kill you.”

The two of them started wrestling.

A new profession is about to be unlocked. The Ritualist has taken one slot. There’s still one slot left for creating a game character. What profession do you think should be created? Are four professions enough? Or should I be a scoundrel and open a few more game character slots? Share your opinions. I’ll take a look tomorrow.
