"Fang Ping wins, swapping places with Sang Tai's list. Fang Ping is ranked 19th, and Sang Tai is ranked 22nd."
Seeing Sang Tai admit defeat, the referee hurriedly announced the result.
It was too much for him to be the referee of a battle of this level. After all, he was only a Stage 5 Awakened.
If Fang Ping hadn't stopped in time, he wouldn't have been able to stop it.
"He really won?"
In the audience, many people were surprised.
Because it was related to their personal interests, the rankings were not exaggerated at all.
In a situation where one's ability wasn't restrained, it was certain that a High-Sequence was stronger than a Low-Sequence. Even between two adjacent lists, there was bound to be a difference in strength.
It was extremely rare to see someone like Fang Ping, who jumped four lists in one go and challenged the 18th as the 22nd on the list.
Therefore, many people weren't optimistic about Fang Ping, thinking that Fang Ping was a little arrogant. They didn't expect Fang Ping to really win, defeating Sang Tai and taking the 18th place on the list. This was really beyond their expectations.
"He really won."
The only ones who weren't surprised by Fang Ping's victory were the people from Hean Base City.
They more or less knew Fang Ping's style of doing things. After all, the families and forces behind them had investigated Fang Ping.
According to the information they had investigated, Fang Ping's style of doing things was more conservative. He never fought a battle he wasn't confident in. Since he made such a choice, he must be confident.
The result was as they expected. Fang Ping won.
"Another strong opponent!"
Some people who were ranked higher than Fang Ping, but not by much, had solemn expressions.
The gap between Fang Ping and them was not that big. With Fang Ping's current growth speed, their rankings were very dangerous.
…
After bidding farewell to the people from Hean Base City, Fang Ping went to the mission hall again, but this time, he didn't issue a challenge. Instead, he checked his current points.
He inserted his identity card into the points inquiry machine and entered the password. The points inquiry machine displayed his current points.
"15,500 points. Although it's already a lot, I'm still short of 4,500 points."
Fang Ping sighed.
The reason he checked his points was because he wanted to buy an extremely expensive potion.
He had reached the peak of Stage 3 and was only one step away from breaking through to Stage 4. However, there was a shortcut to this step, and the shortcut was the Awakening Potion.
The Awakening Potion was a potion that could assist in breaking through bottlenecks. Awakening potions could help hunters break through their bottlenecks.
Such a potion could save at least several months, and most importantly, it wouldn't cause irreparable harm to the body's body.
As long as it wasn't irreparable damage, it wouldn't irreparable damage to the body, it's a leveling potion.
This was a safe way to increase one's strength. In fact, some genius children of awakened families often used this method to break through bottlenecks.
Such an Awakening Potion was naturally extremely precious. It was not something that could be bought with money alone. It also required the corresponding power and connections.
Fang Ping wouldn't have been able to buy it with his current connections, but after joining Yin Chuan Base City's Monster Countermeasure Department, he had the means to buy such a precious item.
"Stage 4 Awakening Potion requires 20,000 points. Looks like I'll have to take two more missions to get that much."
Fang Ping walked to the huge mission board and began to look for a suitable mission.
When he saw a mission, his eyes lit up.
[Station No.5 Breeding Base for one month. Number of people required: one Tier 5 Awakened, three Tier 4 Awakened, nine Awakened from three rooms.
Mission Reward: 500,000 + 5,000 points for Stage 5 Hunters, 250,000 + 2,500 points for Stage 4 Hunters, 120,000 + 1,200 points for Stage 3 Hunters.]
"Now, I should be considered a Stage 5 Hunter, right?"
Fang Ping went to the mission window and inquired. As expected, with his record of defeating a Stage 5 Hunter, he would be recognized as a Stage 5 Hunter and receive 500,000 + 5,000 points as a reward.
He immediately accepted the mission. Fortunately, the Stage 5 Hunter slot hadn't been taken yet.
Three days later, Fang Ping went to the rendezvous point and met up with the others who had accepted the mission. They took a bus to Breeding Base No.5.
At the rendezvous point, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance. It was a beautiful woman with long black hair.
She had an oval face, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. She was indisputably beautiful.
No matter where she was, she would always attract attention. This person was Fan Xuan.
"You also accepted the mission to guard Breeding Base No.5?"
Walking over, Fang Ping was a little surprised.
"Yes, I also accepted the mission to guard Breeding Base No.5."
Seeing Fang Ping, Fan Xuan's face also showed surprise, but at the same time, she was a little happy.
In order to achieve the effect of sharpening, since the first time they accepted the mission, the Hean Base City people didn't form a team to accept the mission. But they didn't expect that the two of them would coincidentally accept the same mission without any discussion.
Being with someone he was familiar with was something to be happy about, especially when that person was Fang Ping.
The people who accepted the mission arrived one after another, men and women. In the end, all thirteen people, including Fang Ping, arrived. They took an armored vehicle arranged by the Monster Countermeasure Division and set off for Breeding Base No.5.
After four hours of bumpy ride, they finally arrived at Breeding Base No.5.
It was a very huge production base, covering an area of 500,000 to 600,000 square meters.
It was surrounded by 30-meter-high metal walls. On the walls, infrared sensors were installed. Once a monster approached, it would immediately detect and automatically alarm.
After handing over to the people stationed there, Fang Ping and the rest of the thirteen people began to station. Except for Fang Ping, the remaining twelve people were divided into three groups. Each group was led by a Fourth-Order Hunter to patrol in shifts.
As for Fang Ping, as the only Fifth-Order Hunter among the thirteen people, he was responsible for commanding the three teams and providing emergency support.
"This is your schedule."
In an office, Fang Ping handed the schedule to the three team leaders. At the same time, he looked at the three people.
The three people, two men and one woman, all looked middle-aged.
Being a Fourth-Order Hunter at this age meant that their potential was exhausted. It would be difficult for them to break through again. Their lifetime achievements were likely to stop at Fourth-Order.
While Fang Ping was looking at the three people, the three people were also looking at Fang Ping, the leader. Fang Ping's age was too young, so young that it made them a little uneasy.
Being young meant that he wasn't steady enough, and being young meant that he wasn't strong enough.
Because of the rigid rules, the other party's strength should be at Fifth-Order. However, among the Fifth-Order Hunters, they were afraid that they wouldn't be too strong.
If they encountered a Fifth-Order Monster, especially when the Fifth-Order Monster was quite strong, they were afraid that it would be very difficult.
Fang Ping noticed the worry in the eyes of the three people, but he didn't explain.
There was no proof. If he said how strong he was, the three people wouldn't believe him.
"This throwing knife has spatial coordinates. In case of an emergency, you just need to shout through the walkie-talkie, and I will rush there immediately …"
Taking out three throwing knives, Fang Ping handed them to the three people.
Now, there were many people who knew that he had the ability to teleport with throwing knives, so he didn't need to worry about the problem of exposing his ability. Because what should be exposed has already been exposed.
"Understood."
The three people took the throwing knives with slight surprise. Spatial ability, this was a rare ability. They didn't expect the leader to have it this time. In this case, the support would undoubtedly be very fast.
After the surprise, the three people's worries became more serious.
The reason why the leader was assessed as having Fifth-Order strength was probably because of the particularity of his spatial ability.
The particularity of his spatial ability was quite advantageous when the opponent was a Hunter. However, when the opponent was a Monster, it would become a disadvantage.
Monsters were generally large in size and had strong defense. If the attack power was too weak, it would be difficult to hurt the monster.
The leader in front of them was obviously known for his strange ability. His attack power was probably not too strong.
