Chapter 232 The Murderer

"Senior, what's going on? I don't remember Jiang He being this strong."

The students waiting at the entrance of Mingyue Academy saw the cold sweat on Ping Shan's face and were filled with worry.

Hirayama was deathly pale, devoid of any color. After exiting the virtual reality pod, he remained squatting on the ground for a long time, unable to recover.

It wasn't until he regained his senses that he realized what had happened.

Yeah, isn't Jiang He a good-for-nothing? How could he possibly kill all five of them in an instant?

The image of his own death had not yet faded from Hirayama's mind, and he felt his whole body trembling, even though he was usually very careful.

"Senior, how did you die?"

Seeing the worried look in his junior's eyes, Ping Shan felt a surge of anger. The stares from his classmates made him feel like a hundred ants were crawling all over him.

He had been preparing meticulously for this academy competition for a long time, and Ping Shan had even figured out how to completely overwhelm the cultivators of Wanjue Academy.

He felt he had lost face.

They are all despicable cultivators from the Myriad Absolutes Academy!

Hirayama pushed through the crowd, and the disdainful looks from his classmates, as well as the teacher's concerned yet slightly disappointed gaze, made him extremely embarrassed.

[World Channel:]

"Five players from Mingyue Academy have been eliminated, leaving 320 players on the field."

The system's announcement on the world channel startled all the cultivators.

Under normal circumstances, after the four academies enter the arena in succession, the first kill is usually achieved by Lingqing Academy, while the deaths reported by the system are mostly reported by Wanjue Academy.

Seeing the system announcement that five people from Mingyue Academy had died—an entire team—surprised Shangguan Linghu, who was on the field.

"Wow, Mingyue and his gang of bastards also got the first kill, hahaha. I just don't know who did it. The whole team was wiped out. Tsk tsk, that was a brilliant move!"

"Could it be that Ling Qing and Ming Yue have fallen out? Otherwise, why would Ming Yue's men die so quickly? Those guys are usually the best at hiding."

"Who cares? I'd be happy no matter which side kills the people from Mingyue Academy."

Shangguan Linghu looked back at the message on the communicator, and hesitated whether she should go and meet up with Yun Lufei.

"Eliminated five cultivators, gained 500 points. Individual points: 500, team points: 500."

At the same time as the announcement from the world channel system, the points earned by eliminating the five Mingyue players were also announced.

Jiang He squatted on the coconut tree. Apart from the corpse, the bloodstains on the ground had not disappeared at all.

Jiang He picked up many weapons dropped by the five people from the pool of blood and put them into the pocket of her backpack.

Before Mingyue and his group of five entered the oasis, Jiang He had been squatting on a coconut tree.

As the five entered her attack range, Jiang He suddenly turned coconuts into ice, which then fell and struck the cultivators.

Thanks to the good angle and the added force, after reaping the five people, Jiang He picked up the dropped equipment, turned over the soil to cover the bloodstains, and then transplanted some turf from the depths of the oasis to cover it up.

Jiang He's technique was skillful, and soon netizens noticed that the scene looked familiar, like something out of a crime documentary.

[Comment: Jiang He's actions this time make me suspect she really has killed someone before; she's so skilled at disposing of the body.]

Haha, who says otherwise? It has to be the university competition! Finally, I've seen a streamer who isn't completely clueless. Covering up after killing someone—that's more like being cautious!

Haha, this grass looks pretty realistic. I see that the surrounding environment is full of this kind of grass.

Yes, I noticed that too, it's so detailed.

When other teams saw the message on the world channel, they had similar reactions to the netizens.

Less than two hours after Mingyue entered the scene, five people died.

They wanted to see the details further, but then another broadcast came on the world channel.

[World Channel:]

"Five players from Mingyue Academy have been eliminated, leaving 315 players on the field."

The elimination of ten people from Mingyue Academy in a row immediately caused some unease among other cultivators and netizens.

[World Channel:]

Anonymous User #100: What's going on? A murderer has appeared in the university competition?

Anonymous User #21: Holy crap, what's going on with Mingyue's side? There are ten of them! Even if they're just solo players, that's equivalent to two teams dying in a row.

Anonymous User #300: What's going on with Mingyue?

Anonymous User #264: Has anyone witnessed where Mingyue's cultivator died? I'm getting a little scared.

The discussion in the live stream was even more intense because the netizens had almost an omniscient perspective. They not only knew which academy the eliminated cultivators came from, but also who killed them. After seeing Jiang He kill another wave of cultivators from Mingyue Academy, they were all stunned.

[Oh my god, the same old tricks again. Are Mingyue cultivators really that easy to kill, or are they on guard? Something's not right.]

I'm completely stunned. The two ambushes lasted less than half an hour, and this wave killed five more people. Isn't that speed a bit unbelievable?

It seems it's not that Mingyue's cultivators are weak; rather, this female cultivator from Wanjue Academy should have some strength.

Wow, this is amazing! I never knew the desert map could be played like this before. Actually, Hengxing Technology has quite a few holographic games. I played a shooting game before that had a desert map. Haha, I think I have to come to Oasis to set up a sniper position in the future. Seriously, this spot is really great.

I play that game too! That's a great idea!

I just want to know one thing: Jiang He has killed ten people so far. The Wanjue Academy and Mingyue are truly sworn enemies; all the people Jiang He killed were from Mingyue.

Haha, let's discuss how big the shadow of the Mingyue cultivator is.

I will never listen to what netizens say again. I think Jiang He's actions were indeed quite good.

Zhong Liyu was the first to arrive at the oasis and meet up with Jiang He. When he arrived, he discovered that Jiang He was "making a scene":

"That was amazing! I knew it was you as soon as I saw the team's score. Mingyue's death was a good thing. We need to kill a few more to avenge our seniors."

Using the oasis as an ambush point, after Zhong Liyu arrived, the two worked together and their cooperation became increasingly adept.

Oases are the only way for most teams to leave the desert. Unless you know all kinds of plants and can distinguish between edible and inedible ones, you will die of thirst after walking in the desert for half a day.

The oasis has many trees and grass. As long as Jiang He is far enough away from the target, anyone with a lower cultivation level than Jiang He can be easily eliminated by him and Zhong Liyu working together.

So far, Jiang He has eliminated 22 people, some from Mingyue Academy and others from other academies. The two cultivators who attacked Mingyue Academy were more ruthless, while those from other academies were basically killed with a single strike.

Zhong Liyu killed eight people in succession. It was really satisfying to be picking off people while following Jiang He.

When Li Ling arrived, she discovered that Jiang He and Zhong Liyu had already killed quite a few people. She was about to join them when she found that Jiang He was about to leave after collecting the equipment.
