In the Age of Gods and Demons, I evolved into the final boss.

Chapter 48 Contribution Soars

After a quick breakfast, Chen Zheng took his long knife and went downstairs, still taking the stairs.

Outside the dormitory building, Jiang Mo, Bai Su, and dozens of classmates were present. Among them, Li Tang was busy on the terminal projector, muttering to herself.

"Team Ten will take this route, while Team Eleven will guard the water source..."

"Chen Zheng is down."

"Go all out today, Chen Zheng. We'll push you to the top, no matter what."

"Zhang Shuo, which 'top' are you referring to?"

"Get lost."

"Haha, they snatched the top spot on the humanities list from our Class 9..."

Seeing the classmates who were greeting him so warmly, Chen Zheng paused. He knew most of these classmates, but that was all; he couldn't remember the names of many of them.

For example, the bespectacled boy who made the joke about the borderline was sitting two rows in front of him, and his score in the theory class was very close to his.

There were also classmates urging him to be number one; they looked familiar, but...

Chen Zheng smiled and nodded: "No problem, thank you everyone for today."

After mobilizing the class group last night, Jiang Mo sent a message to Chen Zheng, including today's action plan, which Li Tang had already planned.

Students below level six are too weak and slow to participate in this activity.

Students at level six and above were divided into seventeen groups of two, each group searching in seventeen directions. Each team was responsible for a specific area and immediately shared information upon discovering any mutated creatures.

At 7 o'clock, teleport to the guild hall.

When the entire class gathered, the homeroom teacher, Song Hui, keenly sensed that the atmosphere was different today; everyone looked excited and had determined eyes.

What's going on?

"Attention everyone!"

Boom! The immense pressure of deep water came from all directions. After a minute, Chen Zheng and the others felt their feet sink and they entered the trial plane again.

Jiang Mo waved excitedly: "The final day of the trial begins. Everyone, follow the designated routes."

"Charge!"

"We got first place!"

"Chen Zheng, wait for our news."

Before Song Hui, the homeroom teacher, could speak, the thirty-odd students scattered in all directions, carrying backpacks and weapons.

Only then did everyone's terminals start vibrating, displaying a notification that they were connected to the Eye of Eternity.

Because they had wiped out all the mutated creatures within a 50-kilometer radius in the previous two days, the seventeen squads hadn't made any discoveries in the early stages.

As the squad expanded, their personal terminal maps kept "lighting up," and it wasn't until about forty minutes into the advance that they made any discoveries.

"Chen Zheng, forty-three kilometers to the south, Qin Yue and his team have discovered a level nine mutated creature."

Level 9!

Chen Zheng, who was waiting at the teleportation point, suddenly brightened up and shot out, rushing towards his target at a speed of more than 30 meters per second.

Ugh!

Beside the pool, a mutated giant elephant, over seven meters long and four meters tall at the shoulder, roared, its thick trunk splashing up large sprays of water.

The mutated giant elephant was covered with a hard shell that looked like dried mud. Its tusks, which were more than three meters long, were thick and curved like heavy hammers. Its open mouth was full of fangs, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

In the water, lay the carcass of a mutated crocodile over seven meters long, its body almost crushed, its internal organs spilling out, a bloody scene.

Behind the short, thick tree trunk, a man and a woman crouched in the weeds. Qin Yue's fingers, gripping the knife hilt, were white, and his voice was tense: "Do you think Chen Zheng can handle that mutated creature?"

"I think it should be fine," Zhou Zhi said, her tone somewhat uncertain.

When they arrived, they witnessed the mutated giant elephant enraged, its trunk sweeping across and its tusks pointing upwards, directly crushing the level seven mutated crocodile.

That ferocious power would kill an ordinary martial artist with a single blow; they wouldn't even be able to get close, let alone kill it.

At this moment, the mutated giant elephant grabbed the mutated crocodile's carcass, brought it to its mouth and began to devour it. Blood mixed with meat scraps dripped down, staining the lake water red.

Time passed in a tense atmosphere. When half of the mutated crocodile's body had been eaten, the sound of grass being trampled came from behind them, and Chen Zheng appeared.

Qin Yue and his companion's faces lit up with joy, and they whispered, "Chen Zheng, you've arrived."

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me." As he spoke, Chen Zheng looked at the mutated giant elephant in the distance, his gaze sharpening.

This mutated giant elephant possessed an even stronger aura than the lion from yesterday, and its power was astonishing. It was not an ordinary level nine mutated creature, but rather a peak level nine creature.

However, he is not the same person he was yesterday.

Chen Zheng stepped out from behind the tree, his 1.4-meter-long sword pointing to the ground. He then shot out, leaving a narrow line on the ground.

A deep, violent roar, like an elephant's bellow, boomed.

Seeing the 'insect' flying towards it, the mutated giant elephant flew into a rage, raised its trunk high, and smashed down on Chen Zheng with its two curved tusks.

boom!

The elephant's trunk attacked with lightning speed, even leaving afterimages. The air vibrated the moment it landed, and the airflow was compressed into a white wave by the terrifying force and speed.

So fast!

In the instant they approached, Chen Zheng's figure flashed, his body moving with his blade, transforming into a sharp blade of light that slightly twisted to dodge the elephant's trunk strike.

Boom! The earth shook violently, mud and grass clippings flew everywhere, and a channel several meters long was pulled out of the aquatic plants on the bank.

Ugh!

In the instant its attack missed, the mutated giant elephant suddenly lunged to the left, its tusks sweeping across, its massive body instantly snapping the trees on the shore.

Despite its seemingly bulky and massive size, its speed and attacks are astonishingly fast.

However, the mutated giant elephant was fast, but Chen Zheng was even faster. In Qin Yue's eyes, Chen Zheng almost became a blur, dodging the mutated giant elephant's continuous attacks in a flash.

It's now!

At the moment the mutated giant elephant crashed into the trees, Chen Zheng, who was behind the giant elephant, pressed down, his muscles tensed and his fascia stretched.

*Poof!* The Black Cloud Blade transformed into a streak of lightning, slashing diagonally towards the sky, tearing through the air with a tearing sound.

The sharp blade flashed like lightning, slicing open the mutated giant elephant's belly and using the kinetic energy from the elephant's sideways movement to create a gash several meters long.

A mournful cry rang out as the mutated giant elephant gushed out hot blood mixed with its intestines from its abdomen like a jet of water.

With its abdomen almost completely cut open and its internal organs spilling out, the mutated giant elephant lost all its strength, its thick forelegs bent, and its massive body knelt forward.

"Slay the mountain!" Chen Zheng roared, and in the instant the mutated giant elephant pounced, he flipped and leaped several meters into the air, gripping his sword with both hands, and descended from the sky.

puff!

The mutated giant elephant had half of its neck severed by this blade. After severing the thick and hard neck bone, the blade's momentum decreased. Seeing this, Chen Zheng suddenly drew his sword and retreated rapidly.

In an instant, blood gushed out like a waterfall, staining the surrounding soil and weeds red.

Under two consecutive fatal blows, the mutated giant elephant's massive body collapsed with a thud, shaking the ground. Chen Zheng stood beside the elephant's corpse, holding his sword, blood dripping from the blade.

Buzz! The terminal vibrates.

[Slay a level 9 mutated creature and gain 40 contribution points]

"So powerful!" Qin Yue and Zhou Zhi both opened their mouths wide, their faces showing shock.

Zhou Zhi's personal terminal had its recording function enabled, and it captured the scene just now.

They knew Chen Zheng was very strong, but even so, he was still a level nine martial artist. Shouldn't he fight a bloody battle before winning against a mutated giant elephant that was almost at the peak of level nine?

What the hell is this "two-slash kill"?

At this moment, Chen Zheng's personal terminal vibrated again. It was a message from Li Tang: "Chen Zheng, a mutated wolf pack has been discovered in Group Nine. There are eleven of them, and they are 23 kilometers away from you."

"I'll go right away."

Chen Zheng nodded to Qin Yue and the other person in the distance, then shot out like an arrow, appearing a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, and then becoming a small dot.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Zheng stood amidst the corpses of the mutated wolf pack, the right half of his clothes stained red with the blood of the mutated creatures.

[Slayed 12 Level 6 Mutant Creatures, gaining 120 Contribution Points]

"Chen Zheng, Zhang Feng and his team have spotted a level eight mutated creature seven kilometers away, and it's moving rapidly."

"receive!"

Chen Zheng greeted the two classmates from Group Nine, then dashed towards the level eight mutated creature, his figure quickly disappearing.

After Chen Zheng left, the two classmates looked in the direction he went, then at the corpses of the mutated black wolves, somewhat bewildered.

"Did he really only break through to level nine two or three days ago?"

Chen Zheng arrived, drew his sword, and in less than two minutes, the twelve mutated black wolves were reduced to corpses.

The sword flashes were sharp and swift, like a seasoned martial arts master, not a freshman liberal arts student who had just broken through to the ninth level of martial arts.

As his classmates explored beyond the hunting area from the previous day, Chen Zheng's personal terminal kept receiving messages about the discovery of mutated creatures.

After confirming the information about the mutated creature, Li Tang, as the organizer, quickly planned the optimal route for Chen Zheng to kill it, avoiding unnecessary travel.

Chen Zheng's personal contributions immediately surged at an astonishing rate.
