Chapter 41 - The Second Superpower Upgrade Gem
Chapter 41: The Second Superpower Upgrade Gem
Vincent watched as the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex disappeared into the horizon. He let out a sigh of relief and ran.
He refused to stay in the area for half a minute longer.
It was too exciting!
Little did he know, at the same time, countless monsters were gathering on the plains ten thousand meters away from him.
There were many natural enemies among those monsters, but they were all resting peacefully. They were all lying quietly on the ground. They did not make any sound.
All of a sudden, there were dark clouds rolling by in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled on.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the sky. Dark clouds rolled by, and a huge dinosaur head emerged from the clouds.
If Vincent was there, he would definitely recognize the dinosaur as the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The monsters that were lying on the ground all lowered their heads after seeing the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex. Their eyes were filled with reverence.
The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed out from the dark clouds. It hovered in the air and roared fiercely in the direction of Hero City.
After hearing its roar, the monsters all roared in excitement. They then started to run.
As the monsters ran, the earth trembled. Their cries could be heard clearly from a thousand meters away.
Vincent went to the foot of the defensive mountain range again to continue his plan to kill monsters.
However, this time, he made up his mind to no longer use the fishing enforcement method. Instead, he would use Monster Affinity and Hellfire simultaneously.
After all, his main goal was not to train his combat ability but to kill monsters so that he could get rewards such as the superpower upgrade gem from the system.
After killing another high-level monster, the Crystal Rat, Vincent received another upgrade pill.
“Purgatory blade is indeed very useful.”
Vincent looked at his purgatory blade. It did not have the slightest bit of blood on it. He was very satisfied with it.
It had been three hours since he had escaped from the claws of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.
He had killed five high-level monsters, and the system rewards were all upgrade pills.
However, he did not receive any superpower upgrade gem.
He sighed helplessly and continued to farm monsters.
Suddenly, a Giant Rock Tiger jumped out from behind the grass. Vincent did not hesitate to use Monster Affinity on it.
The Giant Rock Tiger was a high-level monster. Its entire body was covered in rock, and its defense was extremely high. Its abilities were comparable to a special-class monster.
The Giant Rock Tiger initially wanted to tear Vincent apart, but it suddenly stopped when it was five meters away from Vincent.
It had a sense of familiarity with Vincent and was unable to sink its teeth into him. It felt very puzzled. Why would it have a sense of familiarity with a human?
At the same time, Vincent used his purgatory blade and brought hellfire down, slashing the Giant Rock Tiger’s neck.
Clang!
Gravel flew everywhere.
“Roar!”
The Giant Rock Tiger cried out in pain. Its ferocity erupted, and it no longer cared about his sense of familiarity towards Vincent.
It turned its head and bit Vincent’s waist.
It was Vincent’s first time meeting the Giant Rock Tiger.
Although he knew that the Giant Rock Tiger’s defense was very strong, he did not expect it to be so overpowering.
The Hellfire did not cause much damage to it.
This was the first time that Hellfire had failed him.
Although it could not be said that Hellfire had failed him completely, he still felt like he had failed.
After seeing the Giant Rock Tiger’s gleaming teeth, Vincent turned around and dodged. At the same time, he swung his blade at the Giant Rock Tiger’s waist.
The Giant Rock Tiger missed its attack and received another slash on its waist. It was sent flying by a huge force.
The Man and the Tiger looked at each other. They were both extremely cautious.
Vincent was trying to figure out its weakness.
The Giant Rock Tiger was doing the same. However, it still had doubts in its mind.
Why would it feel familiar towards a human?
Vincent thought to himself, “As expected of a monster that has a defense that was comparable to a special-class monster. It’s indeed powerful.”
It seemed like it was going to be impossible to get a crystal from the Giant Rock Tiger.
Vincent shook his head. He then stretched out his left hand and suddenly grabbed the Giant Rock Tiger.
Boom!
The Giant Rock Tiger was instantly enveloped by black flames. It could not stop screaming.
One second later, the Giant Rock Tiger was burned to death. There was not even a speck of ash left.
For it to be burned to death in one second was enough to show how terrifying Hellfire was.
No matter which monster he faced, Hellfire was able to kill them all in an instant.
Of course, this excluded the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The current Vincent was simply undefeatable. He was like an ultimate boss.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a high-level monster, Giant Rock Tiger. You have obtained one superpower upgrade gem.”
“Do you wish to use it?”
Vincent’s eyes lit up when he heard the system notification.
The superpower upgrade gem finally appeared.
This was in line with Vincent’s thoughts.
As long as he killed enough monsters, the superpower upgrade gem would eventually appear.
“Use the superpower upgrade gem. Open the character panel.”
Vincent instructed the system in his heart.

This time, it did not take long for the superpower upgrade gem to upgrade Vincent’s superpowers. It only took about ten seconds.
When Vincent summoned Hellfire, its appearance did not change much. However, it was obvious that its power had increased by quite a bit.
Moreover, the originally pitch-black flame had a faint purple in its center.
Vincent extinguished his Hellfire flame. He then rubbed his chin and pondered slightly.
He was very curious about how a superpower that was above S-Class would be like.
So far, Vincent had never heard of a superpower that was above S-Class.
Looking ahead, Vincent clenched his fists.
“Looks like I will need to speed it up a little,” Vincent muttered to himself.
Although Chris did not advise on how long the special training was, it would not be more than a day.
After all, there were still other things to do, and the time for the special enrollment competition was getting closer and closer.
Vincent realized that he had already been out for more than ten hours. He had about ten hours left. This was because he had to include the travel time he needed to return to Hero City.
He did not have much time left.
This time, he was focused on training his combat ability as it was also one of the five assessments.
Combat intensity.
As the students were in the wild filled with all kinds of dangers, there was simply no way that they could let their guard down and relax.
If they did, it would cause everyone’s combat ability to become weaker and weaker with the passage of time.
The number of crystals obtained after killing the monsters would determine the order of the final ranking.
Although Chris said that killing monsters was not a priority, she merely said it to ensure the safety of the students.
Vincent had always been very clear about this.
