Not long after leaving, Fang Wuwei encountered several Reincarnators, clearly a small team.
But these Reincarnators did not attack Fang Wuwei; instead, they—
"Hey man, you alone? Want to join us?"
The faces of the several people were somewhat uneasy, and their bodies were covered in wounds. Fang Wuwei could tell at a glance that this group of Reincarnators were soft targets; their own team must have been weak, which was why they were recruiting everywhere for an alliance.
Fang Wuwei didn't even bother to deceive them; he simply drew his sword and advanced.
Seeing this, those few people's faces turned pale, but before they could react, Fang Wuwei was already in front of them, striking down one person, separating his head from his body.
Using the inertia generated by his rapid charge, Fang Wuwei again closed in on the second person. He stomped his foot on the floor, slightly slowing his speed, then spun his body. A spinning slash cleanly took the second head.
Seeing Fang Wuwei act like a god of death incarnate, the remaining three were terrified and turned to flee without any will to fight.
But how could Fang Wuwei let them escape so easily? Imposing Might activated, and his long blade was plated with a layer of golden light. The energy around him began to gather, creating a gentle breeze that attached itself to the blade.
Then...
Sword Qi Slash!
Sword Qi Slash
b class skill
Description: Launches a sword qi.
A simple and unadorned introduction, a simple and unadorned skill, often the most effective.
Fang Wuwei swung his blade horizontally. The Sword Qi Slash appeared with Fang Wuwei's swing, the originally pure white sword qi now plated with the golden light of Imposing Might, flying towards the few people. In the blink of an eye, it caught up to one of them, bisecting him at the waist without losing momentum. If the remaining two hadn't dodged in time, this single Sword Qi Slash could easily have killed three.
But even if they dodged the Sword Qi Slash, they couldn't escape Fang Wuwei's pursuit.
Fang Wuwei sprinted towards one of them, a fireball clutched in his hand. Even more terrifying, that fireball was also plated with a golden light, appearing extremely beautiful.
The description of Imposing Might was to strengthen the next two attacks. Unexpectedly, any attack could be considered a reinforcement by Imposing Might. It could even transfer the reinforcement even when already plated on the blade, which was simply overpowered.
Of course, Fang Wuwei wouldn't throw this fireball from afar. Being an absolute tough guy, he decided to imitate a certain Archmage.
That person watched Fang Wuwei rush towards him, but his speed was far slower than Fang Wuwei's, so he couldn't escape. In despair, he prepared to fight to the death.
The person stopped, no longer fleeing, and instead conjured a long spear from the void. The spear tip shimmered with a crimson light as he thrust it towards Fang Wuwei.
How could it possibly hit? In Fang Wuwei's eyes, this guy was as slow as a turtle.
Easily dodging the spear with a sidestep, Fang Wuwei slapped the fireball onto that person's face.
Boom!!! The fireball explosion caused a roaring inferno. A tiny fireball exploded with the force of a missile, and within the raging flames, golden firelight swirled.
To Fang Wuwei's surprise, the explosive effect of this fireball was somewhat exaggerated.
The fireball plated with Imposing Might, although its explosive power was slightly less, its affected area was comparable to the Tailed Beast Bomb of the dog-girl he had encountered earlier. Not to mention, Fang Wuwei's spiritual power was as high as 78 points, and the strength of magic was also linked to spiritual power.
As a result, Fang Wuwei was spectacularly blown away by his own reckless action.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and defended himself in time. Also, because his physical strength had been greatly enhanced, this blast only burned his left hand, which was holding the fireball, with other areas sustaining only minor injuries.
One left.
Fang Wuwei's face felt a bit hot, not from being burned, but from his own stupidity. But it was good; at least he knew the power of this fireball now, and he wouldn't act so recklessly again.
Fang Wuwei looked at the last remaining person, who was almost out of sight in the distance. He lowered his center of gravity, leaned his body slightly forward, and a burst of magic power erupted from Fang Wuwei's body. Then, at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, he sprinted furiously towards that enemy. In just a few seconds, Fang Wuwei overtook the enemy, performed a Quick Braking to block him, kicking up countless specks of dirt and even carving two small paths beneath his feet.
Quick Braking
b class skill
Description: Gains instantaneous speed in one direction and significantly boosts agility for a short period.
This skill only gave Fang Wuwei a push at the beginning, allowing him to start at an incomprehensible speed and then overtake the traverser. But Quick Braking doesn't care about stopping; if it gives speed, it gives speed. What does it have to do with me if you can't stop?
As for the increased agility, it could help him adapt to this speed, but as the speed given by Quick Braking disappeared, the extra agility also vanished.
This skill isn't very effective.
This was Fang Wuwei's first time using this skill, and this was his evaluation.
But the Reincarnators in front of him didn't think so. Their faces turned pale with fright. Extreme fear and the will to survive made him make a choice—
"Please! Please don't kill me!
I have elderly parents and young children! I also have a wife at home! I didn't want to participate in this exam either, but if I don't, and others do, then I'll be eliminated by the Main God!
I don't want to go back to that past world without power, without choice!!
You're so strong! You definitely can't understand the plight of us low-level Reincarnators! Please! Let me go!!"
He knelt and begged for mercy, crying heartbrokenly.
Seeing this, even Fang Wuwei hesitated. He had always been a soft-hearted person. Even though he knew that the person in front of him was probably heinous, seeing this scene, he couldn't bring himself to strike.
What's more, he seemed to have revealed some incredible information.
"I ask you, what does it mean to be eliminated?"
Seeing that this god of death really didn't make a move, the Reincarnators were overjoyed. They no longer cared why this person didn't know, and with snot and tears, they told everything they knew.
"This exam, to put it bluntly, is to filter out some trash! Of course, of course, I'm not talking about you, sir, I'm talking about me, us low-level ones! Us trash!
It's once a year. We can refuse, but if we refuse more than three times consecutively, we will be eliminated by the Main God! Where we're eliminated to, we don't know.
None of the eliminated people have ever returned. Some say they died, others say they were stripped of their power and reverted to ordinary mortals.
But no matter the outcome, we cannot accept it! Having experienced the beauty of power, how can we be content to be ordinary mortals again!!!
Sir! You understand, right! Losing power is worse than death for us!
Since death is inevitable, why not take a gamble!
...Sir! Please don't kill me! Anything you want to know, I can tell you!!"
The Reincarnators in front of him were tearfully recounting the terror and pain of losing power.
But Fang Wuwei didn't think so. What could these Reincarnators do with power? Nothing more than bullying men and women, and constantly proclaiming their superiority in their own world.
He had already sentenced this Reincarnators to death, but he still had more to ask.
"When the Main God doesn't give you missions, where are you all?"
"Huh?"
"Speak!"
"Yes, yes... Sir, when we're not on missions, aren't we always in our own worlds?
But it is said that Reincarnators who pass the exam can live in the Main God's City and become high-level Reincarnators."
"Is that so... Thank you for the information, you were indeed useful, so..."
"Tha... Thank you, Si—"
"You can die now."
"r... What?"
Fang Wuwei's hand rose and fell; before the Reincarnators could react, his head had already fallen to the ground.
Laughable, you didn't really think I'd be soft-hearted and spare you, did you?
