Chapter 358: Chapter 214: Can’t Find the Target! (Three in One, 5/5)_2
He continued his search for red-named individuals in the vicinity.
Thanks to Chen Mo’s exceptional searching abilities, he quickly found another red-named individual a few kilometers away.
Unfortunately, this individual was only Level 30.
Nevertheless, half the total experience points of a Level 30 was still quite good.
Chen Mo was not picky.
He first searched for information about this person on the wanted website.
He found out that this man had killed the entire family of a boy who had molested a young girl from the man’s own family. The boy’s family had callously dismissed the molestation, excusing the boy’s actions by claiming he was ’just a child who didn’t understand.’ They accused the man of overreacting to the incident, which ultimately provoked this tragedy.
Although killing an entire family over a molestation incident did seem extreme, it was, to some extent, understandable.
Chen Mo decided to let the man be, not attempting to kill him.
After all, finding red-named individuals in this area wasn’t difficult.
Sure enough, after flying another two thousand meters, he found another one.
This red-named individual was outrageous. He exclusively targeted people from aristocratic families and was subsequently placed on the wanted list by the Aristocratic Families-Academy Alliance.
According to the official website, this man killed without provocation or prior enmity, simply harboring a deep-seated hatred for disciples of aristocratic families.
It just goes to show that as long as opposition exists, extremists are bound to appear.
Chen Mo quickly made a move against this psychopath.
This man was a Level 40 professional. While he was resting in the woods, an invisible, silent arrow suddenly shot out and pierced his forehead.
He was instantly killed in his sleep.
He died instantly, without any pain.
As before, Chen Mo dispelled the Ghost and burned the body. He then opened The Heavenly Path’s Hint to check the information.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully killed a Level 40 red-named individual. You have gained 4,000 honor points.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully killed a red-named individual. However, as you have already received the experience point benefit from a red-named individual once within the past seven days, this benefit is on a seven-day Cooldown. You cannot receive this benefit again until the Cooldown period ends.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully killed a red-named individual alone. Your S-level title "Law Enforcer" has gained 10 experience points!]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Your S-level title "Law Enforcer" has reached Level 3!]
[S-level Title - Law Enforcer]
[Title Level]: LV3
[Title Experience]: 0/10 (Gain 1 experience point for each red-named individual killed as part of a team, 10 points for killing alone.)
[Title Effect]: All Attributes increase by 30 points. Damage dealt to red-named individuals increases by 30%.
[Title Introduction]: Red-named individuals are sinners whose evil is made manifest by the Heavenly Dao. Killing them is to enact justice on behalf of Heaven. As a novice Law Enforcer, you are just starting on your path. Continue to purge wickedness, and you shall earn greater rewards.
Can’t I continuously gain experience from red-named individuals?
Chen Mo was surprised. But upon reflection, he realized he had never heard of anyone leveling up significantly in a single day. Therefore, this limit must have always been in place.
Otherwise, some experts could use this method to reach extremely high levels within a day.
But seven days isn’t too long; I can search again after seven days.
Seeing that there were no new gains, Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered to continue hunting down these red-named individuals, even though killing two more could max out his title.
But he felt like that would be a waste of experience points.
Just as Chen Mo was preparing to head home, he suddenly sensed people approaching nearby.
He immediately focused his senses.
Three of them? They are all third-transition experts? And they’re not red-named individuals; what are they doing here? Are they also here to hunt red-named individuals?
Just as Chen Mo was speculating, he suddenly noticed something odd about these three.
Their movements didn’t suggest they were hunting red-named individuals. Instead, the three of them seemed to have a clear target and were converging on its location.
And Chen Mo discovered, to his surprise, that this clear target was actually himself.
He was momentarily caught off guard.
What the hell? Are these three third-transition experts coming for me? No way.
At first, Chen Mo was somewhat doubtful, but he soon became certain that they were indeed heading his way.
Could it be that these were the people sent by the Academy Alliance to covertly protect me?
That seemed plausible.
But Chen Mo was curious: how did they know where he was?
I’m in an invisible state right now. They’re still heading so determinedly for my position; what’s going on? In my invisible state, I should be undetectable by any means, unless...
In an instant, Chen Mo’s pupils contracted as a thought struck him.
His divine stealth was divine-grade. If someone could still detect him from a distance while he was in this state, it could only mean one thing: they, like him, had received a task involving Legendary Strength. This task was Above SSS-level. If this task exposed his coordinates, then not even the Divine Stealth Box could hide him.
As soon as this idea came to mind, Chen Mo couldn’t help but speculate about the identity of the others.
For someone to dispatch three third-transition experts to investigate him, their own strength must be at least at the third-transition level, if not higher.
Since this person had sent people after him, it was clear they had designs on him.
Why didn’t they come themselves?
Were they afraid of alerting their target prematurely?
At this point, Chen Mo decided to stay put. He planned to wait for the three to get closer and see if he could overhear anything useful.
