CHAPTER 218: CHAPTER 218: THE LAST GROUP [BONUS UPDATE]

Yu Manman patted a few partners’ hands, "Let’s first see how they do it and learn well!"

If there are any issues, we can summarize them and find strategies to cope!

"Okay!" They all nodded in agreement.

Before going out to sea, Ackman had already told them a few things.

If they manage to hunt the Fallen Species, they will receive a bonus. Of course, this is a universally accepted fact on the entire planet, so they’re not overly surprised. However, they’ll additionally receive points!

Once the points accumulate to a certain amount, they can receive a perfect score for their regular grades, without needing to complete any course assignments, and can even apply for course exemption—provided they participate in the course exam and compile a passing score.

But for them, who are all quite smart, it’s not a big problem; studying for a few days might be enough for them to take the exam.

Anyway, for Yu Manman, money is not the greatest temptation; the greatest temptation is course exemption! As long as she has enough points, she’ll have enough time to do what she wants!

Yu Manman stood by the yacht’s edge, watching as the first group left in a small speedboat.

In the first group was Hernans.

Hernans was already eager to go.

His family had frozen his card now; he just wanted to kill a few Fallen Species to earn some spending money! He was used to a good life, and the small amount of money he extracted from his big brother was not enough for his spending!

The Fallen Species appearing in the moderately dangerous sea areas are mostly below danger level B; the ones they are to hunt actually have been driven over by experienced Beastmen from the moderately dangerous zones!

This is to guarantee their safety since most people have little combat experience.

Despite Hernans being an Arctic Wolf Beastman, he has hunted many aquatic Fallen Species, with rich underwater combat experience.

He has hunted Fallen Species of danger level B alone, and in group combat, he has killed an S-level Fallen Species! In Hernans’ view, cooperating as five to hunt an A-level Fallen Species wasn’t too difficult.

Hernans cooperated with the other four, although it was essentially their first actual cooperation, resulting in several mistakes in handling the Fallen Species.

Yet, within nine minutes, they killed a five-meter-long Fallen Species shark.

Hearing this result made Hernans frown—he wasn’t very satisfied in his heart, as they indeed didn’t cooperate well.

Ackman didn’t give any comment, simply and calmly said: "Next group."

The second group learned from the first group’s lessons, cooperating relatively well and successfully hunted the Fallen Species within ten minutes. However, they were slightly lacking in tactics, resulting in one person being injured on the arm by the Fallen Species.

Looking at the bloody, mangled arm, many furrowed their brows.

Several females on the yacht also visibly grew tense, immediately feeling the viciousness of the Fallen Species...

They had been pampered growing up; they’d never seen such a scene?

Nervous as they were, they were unwilling to return to become a common female who always needed protection.

Having come to Land District 19 and now possessing A-level Purification Talent, their goal naturally was to graduate as S-level Purification Masters and then become Sea Territory Lords!

Determination flashed in the females’ eyes, suppressing their fear of bloodlust.

"Are you okay?" His companion was regretful, "It’s all my fault! I failed to deliver a killing blow to the Fallen Species, causing you to get injured!"

"It’s okay, just a minor injury. But I did bleed a bit, so once we return, you’d better treat me to something good to replenish!"

"No problem!" His companion patted his chest, "I’ll treat you to meals for a month!"

"Wow, Little Song’s wallet is taking a big hit?" The person beside them teased, "Won’t you treat your brother to a meal as well?"

"Get lost, get lost! Not even the basic nutrient solution for you!"

"Tsk, I wouldn’t want that nutrient solution anyway!"

Their playful bantering eased the tense atmosphere significantly.

"But, those Fallen Species are indeed difficult to deal with, be careful!" Little Song reminded.

"Got it! Do you even need to say? This little life of mine still needs to stay to serve my wife!"

"Tsk, shameless!"

"Haha!"

After two groups had gone, Ackman continued, "Groups three to five, prepare!"

To save time, several groups were tested together.

"Yes!" They were both nervous and excited.

An hour later, most of them had already gone through the test.

Several people were injured, and a few even almost got bitten dead by the Fallen Species! If it weren’t for the instructors watching over and stepping in timely, they might have met a one-way trip!

After this round, they dared not slack off at all, being even more careful in dealing with the Fallen Species.

And those saved by the instructors were deemed unqualified, having to swim back like those who took too long to hunt the Fallen Species!

"You’re still okay; at least you killed a Fallen Species, and could get a bonus..."

The Beastman who got saved by the instructor patted the good brother who had to swim back together with him because they finished task overtime.

He had a look of misery, looking at the friend who still had a smile at the corner of his mouth and shouted a single word: "Get lost!"

He suspected his mischievous friend was purposely making fun of him! He was a Sea Clan Beastman, so of course he wasn’t worried!

Wuwu, he was a Cat Beastman and had always hated water since childhood!

Having him swim back was worse than punishing him to run ten kilometers with weights!

The mischievous friend winked at him, "Give me all today’s bonus for killing the Fallen Species, and I’ll help take you back, sound good?"

The Cat Beastman widened his eyes, he was already so miserable, yet he opportunistically demanded money from him? He’s inhumane! Cutting ties, at least for one day, three hours minimum without speaking!

The prideful Cat Beast demonstrated that he had been offended, unwilling to be coaxed, of that kind!

"Last group, prepare." Ackman looked at Yu Manman.

"Yes, instructor!" Yu Manman got onto the speedboat and headed for the test area.

They were kept on high alert, continuously observing the sea surface.

"Fallen Species are here, let’s be mindful! Proceed according to plan."

Yu Manman transformed spiritual power into threads, searching for the Fallen Species in the ocean.

Upon locking in their target, Yu Manman took the lead and jumped into the sea, plunging into the water.

Meanwhile, Tao Anyan, You Xiao, and Yu Chang also jumped into the sea, transforming into their beast forms, swimming swiftly in the ocean. Wu Yingyue stayed on the speedboat, set up her gun, and gazed steadfastly.

Tang Xixue seemed like an adorable girl, with a round little face, but turned into a huge black eagle, circling above the sea...

Yu Manman stared at a black shape in the distance, opening a blood packet.

The Fallen Species in the distance soon detected the scent of blood, swiftly swimming towards Yu Manman.

It had wings-like wide pectoral fins spanning six meters, swimming like a giant cape, its tail like a long whip, mouth displaying two rows of sharp teeth—this is a result of the Fallen Species’ mutation.

Manta Ray, Yu Manman mentally whispered its name.
