I Can See Experience Points

Chapter 58: Chapter 57: [This Is the ’Fish’ You Were Talking About?]

”Can anyone tell me what class that student is in?”

The Dean asked with an utterly exasperated expression, pointing toward the riverbed. Down below, He Xiaotian was creating a whirlwind of carnage with his twin hammers, his strikes landing with ferocious power.

”Minister! I know who he is.” Lei Yang immediately stepped forward. This was a great opportunity to score some points.

It turned out this Dean also held the title of Minister.

”Speak.”

”He’s likely one of the mavericks from the civilian population. He killed a white specter while our squad was on its way to Pujian.”

The Dean’s interest was piqued.

He hadn’t expected the man on the riverbed, who looked like a ferocious general reincarnated, to be from the civilian world rather than a student of his academy.

”Does the 037th precinct know about him? When do they plan to recruit him into our Cleaner organization?”

”They were aware of him when we arrived. Once this incident is over, they’ll dispatch someone to investigate his background. You know how it is, even if we don’t recruit him, we still need to find out his name and identity for monitoring purposes, to determine if he poses a threat to society.”

Lei Yang answered fluently, having clearly done his homework.

”Hmph, no need to investigate. After this is resolved, you go ask him directly. If he’s willing to join our city’s Cleaners, I can offer him a position as a group leader.”

”?!” Lei Yang’s feelings upon hearing this were complicated.

A group leader position within the city’s Cleaners was higher than his own rank!

He was a captain, leading a squad of four.

His police rank was a Second-Class Superintendent, equivalent to a deputy section chief.

A group leader, on the other hand, had three squads under their command. Including their own, that made four.

Their police rank would be at least a First-Class Superintendent, a full section chief.

He had worked his ass off, handling more than ten special cases over the last six months just to climb to his current position.

And now He Xiaotian comes along and is offered First-Class Superintendent and group leader right off the bat.

To say he was happy about it would be a blatant lie.

But he wasn’t unconvinced, either. Just seeing the heavy hammers that muscle-bound brute was swinging sent a chill down his spine.

Divine Power and Unrivaled, lightning-fast speed, and an azure flame that could suppress evil spirits.

If a man like that were under his command, he probably wouldn’t be able to control him.

The world of extraordinary individuals was simple: if you’re stronger than me, I’ll obediently listen to you.

But if you’re a weakling trying to command a powerful figure, they might not even give you the time of day.

Lei Yang imagined going out on a future mission. What if He Xiaotian had a disagreement with him and decided to smash his leg with a hammer? Who could he even complain to?

Meanwhile, on the riverbed, the young trainee didn’t get angry when the dual-hammer-wielding behemoth ignored him.

He actually wanted to get angry, but seeing those massive iron hammers that could shatter dozens of skulls with a single swing, he didn’t dare show it.

”Hell yeah!”

He Xiaotian was having so much fun farming Experience Points that he couldn’t help but shout.

The skulls were pathetically weak. Their only method of attack was to clump together and charge at the crowd.

They used the ghastly green flames they generated to burn their enemies.

Any trained ordinary person could dodge them if they remained calm.

And these people were extraordinary individuals.

Although they were fresh-faced newbies right out of school, you shouldn’t underestimate them.

He Xiaotian’s brutal fighting style caught everyone’s attention.

Some of the veterans sized themselves up against him, and every one of them looked grim.

In a head-on fight, they would be no match for him.

Each of those iron hammers had to weigh at least three hundred and fifty pounds.

Yet he swung them with effortless ease and fluid grace.

You could see the whole picture from a single detail.

On top of that, the instant the hammers shattered the skulls, the azure flames would flare up, incinerating them into dust.

”I never thought there would be so many skulls at the bottom of the Pujian River,” Lei Yang muttered, his eyes fixed on the battle below.

”In ancient times, this was known as the Beheading River. Criminals sentenced to death were often just thrown into the water and carried away by the current. It’s no wonder the thing that escaped from under the Nine Dragon Pillar is hiding in the Pujian River. It wants to use the怨气 of these skulls to recover from its injuries.

”But what a shame for it. We let it stir up trouble before only because we were short on manpower and feared we couldn’t kill it in one blow, letting it escape to wreak havoc elsewhere. Tonight is the night it dies,” the Dean said resolutely. Special cases were popping up all over the country; even he had no time to teach, having to run to several different places to suppress powerful evil spirits and ghosts.

Of the thousands of skulls, he alone had taken out at least half, gaining 22,500 Experience Points.

”ROAR!!”

A roar that shook the heavens erupted, and the silt on the riverbed blasted outwards like a volcanic eruption.

He Xiaotian crossed his hammers in front of his chest to block.

”RUMBLE!!”

A powerful shockwave sent him flying back more than ten meters.

He got off easy. The other forty-some trainees were a miserable sight.

Not only were they covered head to toe in silt, but they were also thrown more than ten meters into the air before crashing back down onto the riverbed.

”Owww!”

If they were ordinary people, a fall like that would have left them more dead than alive.

How could they still have the strength to groan?

Thanks to his azure flames, the silt that splattered onto He Xiaotian’s body evaporated instantly.

Ahead of him, a massive dark shadow pulled itself up from the mud.

He Xiaotian looked up. This thing was at least four meters tall.

As for its length, he couldn’t tell.

”ROAR!”

Another furious roar shook a huge amount of silt off its body.

And so, it was fully revealed to He Xiaotian.

”A croc... a crocodile?!”

’Holy fucking shit!’

’This is what you meant by ”looking for a fish”?’

’Is a crocodile even considered a fish?’

’And shouldn’t this thing be called a monster?!’

No wonder the army had to be brought in, along with so much heavy weaponry.

[Dragon roars have been heard repeatedly from the Pujian River, and people constantly claim to see a massive dark shadow swimming along the riverbed at night. Is it real or fake? Local rumors say it is the wrath of the Dragon King. Another seventeen people met their demise today, their bodies lost to the river.]

For some reason, He Xiaotian was reminded of the forum news post.

’Who the hell can’t even tell the difference between a dragon’s roar and a monster’s bellow?’

”It finally couldn’t hold back any longer? I thought it could endure a while more,” the Dean said from behind the railing. He then raised a hand and waved, and the soldiers beside him immediately moved out.

”RAT-A-TAT-TAT!!”

Dozens of heavy machine guns opened fire, a storm of bullets sweeping toward the giant crocodile.

”PING!” ”PING!” ”PING!”

He Xiaotian clearly saw that when the bullets hit the crocodile’s hide, they didn’t even leave a white mark.

’Can my hammers even break through that defense?’

’Who was it that gave me the confidence to think I could snatch an easy win?’

’In the end, I was too young and naive.’

’I had no idea how dangerous this world truly is!!’
