“The Heavenly Machine Bloodline truly lives up to its reputation.”Qin Tian hid in the shade of a tree, not going too far, his enhanced hearing allowing him to listen to the conversation between Zhuge Yu and Zhongli Ying.It turned out that the ambush he fell into was because Zhuge Yu had calculated in advance that he would appear in that spot, and then used a formation to block his super perception.But the same trick could not be used on him a second time.If Zhuge Yu still wanted to repeat his old trick, he would let the Zhuge successor experience the style of the King of Assassination.The man-eating flower's treasure chest and green crystal were unobtainable, but Qin Tian could still acquire items and crystals by eliminating other examinees or finding other wild monsters.“First, I’ll develop discreetly and see if I can make a big move at the end.”Qin Tian’s eyes flickered.Over the next three days, the Genius Battle officially entered a white-hot phase; most contestants chose to form alliances, with three to five people per small group, to compete against other groups and accelerate the elimination of examiners and wild monsters.By the third day, C-Level Examiners were almost all eliminated.And the B-Grade Examiners, wearing the twelve zodiac costumes, became the primary targets for the geniuses to hunt.The items guarded by B-Grade Examiners were more advanced, and defeating B-Grade Examiners also earned more recognition from the audience, thereby showcasing their strength and increasing their fame.Within two days, all B-Grade Examiners were also eliminated.However, during the battles, the B-Grade Examiners also displayed formidable combat power no less than that of Five-Star Geniuses, earning much applause.However, when it came to the most prominent figure among all the examiners, it was undoubtedly a C-Level Examiner: Black Crow.This person could be said to have pushed the spirit of insidious cunning and shamelessness to the extreme.Initially, he only played tricks like the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind, letting the geniuses eliminate examiners or wild monsters, then unexpectedly snatching the guarded equipment and leaving.But later, he resorted to every possible means.He would bludgeon people when they were in the restroom, poison drinking water, expose contestants' locations to invite other contestants to attack, then fish in troubled waters to steal guarded items, and even disguise symbiotic spirit plants as wild monsters to set up ambushes.In these few days, Black Crow's fame and popularity were higher than any genius, far surpassing even Five-Star Geniuses.Every day, the audience's most anticipated program was not the battles between geniuses, or between geniuses and other examiners, but watching how Black Crow would trick these geniuses.When they saw the geniuses gritting their teeth and contorting their faces from being tricked, the audience couldn't have been happier.Especially the supporters of those geniuses eliminated by Black Crow; they were initially hostile towards Black Crow, but after seeing so many geniuses being tricked so miserably, many of them directly turned from haters to fans, becoming Black Crow’s fans, hoping he would eliminate a few more geniuses.At the same time, Black Crow's notorious reputation spread among the contestants, causing some to fear moving alone; whether eating, sleeping, or using the restroom, they had to be accompanied by companions, even the teams of Five-Star Geniuses were no exception.It can be said that Black Crow, by himself, changed the direction of the competition and greatly increased the popularity and entertainment of the Genius Battle, making the organizers and GG merchants earn a fortune.Many people tried to find out Black Crow's true identity, planning to leverage Black Crow's popularity for hype after the competition ended.Unfortunately, no matter how powerful someone was, they could not obtain any information about Black Crow.Three days passed, and the Genius Battle was nearing its end.Buzzing sounds… In the room, a flash of lightning slowly faded. Qin Tian opened his eyes, a smile on his lips.Click, click, click… He stood up and stretched his body, his bones emitting a series of popping sounds, and powerful energy surged within him.In the past few days, he had intercepted 7 types of elixirs from contestants and wild monsters, including those that boost spiritual energy, such as the Myriad Manifestation Spirit Boosting Pill, and those that strengthen the physique, like the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Pill and the Five Dragon Metamorphosis Pill, as well as those that enhance mental power, such as the Purple Leaf Spirit Profound Pill, and so on.With these elixirs, he estimated that he could advance to the Fifth Tier within half a year.In addition, he also obtained a spirit tool dagger, a spirit tool longsword, and a Silver-level martial art skill, “Eighteen Storm Hammers.”The dagger and longsword could be given to Li Qi and Feng Mocuan to use after he returned.As for this Silver-level hammer martial art skill, as long as he did not trigger the spiritual Read the ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ inheritance within it, he could exchange it for a cultivation method or martial art skill of the same level after the competition.He planned to exchange it for a dark-element cultivation method to use as a general cultivation method for a Night Demon Apostle.Besides these items, Jiela also absorbed many green crystals.He learned from those geniuses that the green crystals were called Wood Essence Crystals, a natural crystal that helps spirit plants evolve.After absorbing a large amount of Wood Essence Crystals, Jiela seemed to have entered a critical point of evolution, her consciousness falling into a dormant state, and it was still unknown when she would awaken.Qin Tian stood by the window, gazing into the distance.According to his heat perception, there were not many geniuses left in the entire city, only four small teams, a total of 17 people.In terms of strength, the teams of Fu Ning, Yue Shenghe, and Zhuge Yu, three Five-Star Geniuses, were naturally the strongest.The other three groups also each had two Five-Star Geniuses, and who was stronger or weaker would depend on the final competition.With most C-Level and B-Grade Examiners eliminated, Qin Tian predicted that these four small teams would likely negotiate, each dealing with and eliminating an A Grade Examiner to obtain the highest-level guarded items, and then compete to determine the final list of ten people for the grand arena.“I haven't had a chance to fish in troubled waters again.”Qin Tian stroked his chin; to be honest, he was very interested in the A Grade Examiner's guarded items, after all, they were the highest-level rewards set by the Oriental Family, possibly more valuable than all the items he currently possessed combined.However, now these geniuses outside were wary of him, and it would be much more difficult to snatch food from their mouths than before.“Forget it, I’ll act according to the situation. If there’s really no chance, I’ll know when to quit.”Qin Tian thought to himself.Speaking of A Grade Examiners, one thing surprised him greatly.There were a total of four A Grade Examiners: God, Demon, Monster, and Ghost. He had encountered the first three and left hunting marks on them, but he had never seen the last one, the Ghost Examiner, from beginning to end.In the darkness, his heat perception covering the entire city also failed to capture the presence of the Ghost Examiner.And this point might also affect the direction of the situation moving forward.If the last Ghost Examiner couldn't be found, then the four small teams would only have three A Grade Examiners to divide, and which group would be excluded would depend on their respective abilities.Before fighting the A Grade Examiners, there might very well be a large melee, which could be an opportunity for Qin Tian.
