"Seems like it wasn't too hard after all..."
Lu Xiaobai thought to himself.
The ferocity of this Giant Star Shark far exceeded that of ancient sharks, but its physical evolution had also made it incredibly bloodthirsty. That was why it had relentlessly pursued Lu Xiaobai to the bitter end, ultimately dying here.
You could only say that while its body had evolved, its brain had only gotten worse...
At this moment,
Lu Xiaobai stepped forward and pulled the arrows out of the Giant Star Shark's body one by one.
The number of these arrows was limited. If he couldn't retrieve them in time, his longbow would become useless...
Just as he finished gathering the arrows and was about to leave,
the seawater in the distance surged, and another massive dark shadow closed in!
"Huh? Another one?"
Lu Xiaobai frowned slightly, looking at the murky seawater around him, and thought to himself:
"Did the blood attract this thing?"
He had no other choice. His attack power was limited, so he could only engage in this kind of hit-and-run battle, which gave the other Giant Star Sharks time to approach.
"Better slip away first!"
He didn't hesitate. Kicking his legs, he quickly fled the scene like a fish.
However,
that Giant Star Shark actually abandoned its companion's corpse and crazily chased after him!
"Damn it, you Shark-ass, you ignore all that flesh and blood and insist on targeting me, huh?"
Lu Xiaobai's expression shifted, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Just as he took out his longbow, wanting to repeat what had just happened, his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw another huge dark shadow appear in the distance from a completely different direction!
"Another one?! Wait, no, it doesn't look like a Shark-ass!"
His expression changed as he noticed the dark shadow actually had several thick tentacles, which made him stop dead in his tracks.
Sure enough, as the shadow drew closer, an octopus measuring dozens of meters in size appeared!
Its entire body was silvery-white, brimming with a high-tech vibe, and the eyes on its forehead glowed with a red electronic light.
Clearly, this was the mechanical octopus responsible for patrolling!
"Big bro, I finally found you. Good thing I didn't give up!"
Lu Xiaobai hurriedly swam over and climbed onto the mechanical octopus's head. Looking back at the same time,
he saw that the aggressive Giant Star Shark from a moment ago had long since disappeared...
"Phew, I can finally rest for a bit."
He sat on the mechanical octopus's head, grabbing a protruding piece of alloy with his hand to recover his stamina.
Dealing with that level 7 vitality Giant Star Shark just now had taken quite a toll on him...
Two hours later,
Lu Xiaobai gradually recovered and muttered to himself:
"Time to start my plan!"
The corners of his mouth curled up. With a thought, he unleashed the Lu family's ancestral skill: Fake Injury!
Instantly, terrifying wounds appeared on his limbs, and a massive amount of blood flowed out...
Yet he himself didn't feel the slightest bit weak!
Lu Xiaobai quickly unzipped the diving suit covering his limbs, allowing the blood to smoothly blend into the ocean...
Giant Star Sharks were extremely sensitive to blood. The blood of Star Warriors, in particular, contained Star Energy, which would stimulate their hunting instincts even more.
To them, human Star Warriors, who consumed various nutrient solutions and potions long-term, were absolute super-supplements!
"This should probably attract Giant Star Sharks above level 10, right?"
Lu Xiaobai's expression flickered, silently anticipating it in his heart.
This was his improvised Plan B!
Assisting the mechanical octopus in killing Giant Star Sharks with a vitality level above 10 was also a way to earn points.
However, for anyone else, this path would be a dead end.
The biggest difficulty lay in how to safely lure over a level 10 or higher Giant Star Shark.
If one used themselves as bait, they would probably kick the bucket before even bumping into a patrolling mechanical octopus. After all, Giant Star Sharks above level 10 were no joke; their speed and strength far exceeded those of these students...
But Lu Xiaobai had Fake Injury. He could use his blood as bait, truly achieving damage-free monster luring!
Even if others were ruthless enough to mutilate themselves, they could never produce as much blood as he did...
In just a few minutes,
a Giant Star Shark appeared in the distance. However, upon seeing the massive size of the mechanical octopus, it ultimately chose to back down...
Although this area of the sea was the territory of the Giant Star Sharks,
the true overlords were these mechanical octopuses that could rival primary Star Warriors!
"You're only level 8, what are you joining the fun for?"
Sitting on the octopus's head, Lu Xiaobai couldn't help but grumble.
He shook his head, continuing to maintain the Fake Injury, and patiently waited for his prey to arrive...
The amount of fresh blood he produced was simply too massive. The seawater wherever it went was dyed red, and an incredibly thick scent of blood spread out...
An hour passed,
Lu Xiaobai, wearing a strange expression, looked around him.
If other students saw this scene, it would be enough to scare them pale.
All around him, there were densely packed Giant Star Sharks. At a glance, there were at least over a hundred of them!
These Giant Star Sharks had all been lured over by his blood. However, because of the mechanical octopus's presence, they didn't dare to approach, yet they were reluctant to just leave. Thus, this scene unfolded...
"What a pity..."
Lu Xiaobai patted the mechanical octopus beneath his feet and muttered:
"They've already blocked the door, and you're not even making a move. What a loss of face!"
But he also knew that this was the program designed by its creator. The mechanical octopus would only attack when encountering lifeforms above level 10. For anything below level 10, even if there were thousands or tens of thousands of them, it wouldn't react...
"If only I knew Intelligent Mechanics, then I could tamper with your programming."
Lu Xiaobai shook his head.
Though he knew this was knowledge only accessible at the university level. Moreover, his current vitality level wasn't high enough, and his brain wasn't developed enough; even if an expert came to teach him, it would be useless...
Just as he was complaining inwardly, a heaven-shaking beastly roar suddenly came from the distance!
"Hmm?"
Lu Xiaobai's expression flickered. Looking at the churning seawater ahead, a faint sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
Before long,
an incomparably massive dark shadow quickly approached.
When he saw its appearance clearly, Lu Xiaobai's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but laugh:
"I've waited so long for you, and you're finally here!"
Right before his eyes was a Giant Star Shark. It looked ferocious, its entire body covered in white starlike dots, and its size had reached a staggering hundred meters. It was an absolute behemoth!
Its size and aura far exceeded those of the other Giant Star Sharks; they weren't on the same level at all.
As Lu Xiaobai turned on the reconnaissance function on his diving suit, he successfully saw its vitality level—it had astonishingly reached level 11!
"Roar..."
The other Giant Star Sharks around lowered their heads, their small eyes filled with fear. They instinctively backed away, not daring to get close.
The Giant Star Shark King before him ignored its surrounding kin, opened its bloody maw, and lunged forward to devour Lu Xiaobai!
In its eyes, Lu Xiaobai was nothing but a sweet, soft, and highly nutritious tonic...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
