Ten days before the deadline, the military force finally surpassed the end of the massive mountain range that divided their path and that of the student force, reaching Blade Mountain\'s foot!

From afar, Blade Mountain was a massive structure, with its peak rising for dozens of thousands of meters, but only once they were right beneath it could the soldiers perceive its majesty.

Hundreds of indentations, patches of forest, and caverns spread across the massive mountain. The density of the Life Wave around it was so deep that small clouds formed from time to time.

"Everybody get in formation!"

Cain\'s voice echoed, pushing the soldiers\' minds out of the majestic mountain and into the task at hand. The sole goal of rushing to this place despite the danger they would face was to secure the massive amount of resources spread across Blade Mountain\'s foot.

King Beasts inhabited Blade Mountain before the start of The Hunt, so the resources they could get from here were high enough to make even Peak Wave Champions green with envy.

"The entire military force will be divided into four groups. One will remain here and form a new encampment, while the other three will spread across the terrain. Every single thing of value in this place, we will take it!"

Cain\'s words made the greed in the soldiers\' hearts grow even more potent. Some might never see resources of this level again in the future, so they would not leave anything behind.

Cain left Lurin in charge of generating the new encampment. The young man had regained his position as First Lieutenant due to his impressive feats over the last three months and had shown great skill in terms of logistics. Lurin would not work alone since Levi and Orin would be by his side, ensuring the new encampment defenses.

The leaders of the three groups in charge of scouring the terrain and harvesting the resources would be Cain, Antony, and William. Cain could use his Ego Wave to silently explore the terrain, avoiding unnecessary fights. In contrast, Antony and William could use overwhelming power to crush any Early or Middle Wave Beast that would get in their way. The last one had also evolved to Wave Champion three days ago, having achieved Flawless Marrow, and his battle power was phenomenal.

For the next week, the military force worked non-stop, harvesting everything remotely valuable that appeared in their sight. They used every second of sunlight, and were times they would not return to the encampment until deep in the night.

Each day the soldiers drained until the last drop of energy in their bodies, but the greed that burned in their hearts invigorated them every morning and helped them push beyond their limit at night.

Two weeks after reaching Blade Mountain\'s foot, the student forces finally crossed the massive mountain range just as the soldiers were harvesting resources left and right.

Cain had already predicted that the student forces would arrive today and made sure no soldiers would be near that zone. His Ego Wave had shown him the thousands of students half an hour ago, so it was easy for him to call all the soldiers back.

Dominic and Amos were at the head of the student forces, and their eyes narrowed when they saw the state of Blade Mountain\'s foot. It was clear to the duo that the soldiers had harvested every type of herb and ore as far as the eye could see.

Even for scions of a powerful Noble Family, resources that could be useful for King Beast were extremely valuable. It did not take long for the duo to turn toward Cain since they knew he must have been responsible for all of this.

Dominic and Amos unleashed the full power of their auras, making the ground beneath their feet crack due to the highly dense nature of their Wave. It was clear that they both reached the Wave Champion Rank and did it by achieving Deep Basic Law Understanding and Flawless Marrow.

Cain stared at the duo and was not surprised by their power. They were prodigies of powerful Noble Families, so it would be weird if they did not have powerful foundations.

Cain glanced back and recognized the young man as the third Wave Champion among the student force. He was initially surprised when his Ego Wave detected that not only Dominic and Amos evolved beyond the Wave Warrior Rank, but he soon understood things after perceiving the density of that man\'s Astral Wave.

It mattered little to Cain that the duo had already become Wave Champions. He turned around and waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to return to the encampment.

The reason why they worked day and night without rest was to harvest all the available resources before the students arrived. Now everybody would stick to their zones, and any incursion would trigger a ferocious fight, something neither party wanted since they still had a lot of Wave Beasts to handle.

"You, wait there!"

A young man with dark hair, brown eyes, and a small scar on his neck shouted at Cain. His face had a hateful expression as he saw the barren terrain left after the soldiers\' harvest.

Cain glanced back and recognized the young man as the third Wave Champion among the student force. He was initially surprised when his Ego Wave detected that not only Dominic and Amos evolved beyond the Wave Warrior Rank, but he soon understood things after perceiving the density of that man\'s Astral Wave.

Unlike the duo, the density of the third Wave Champion among the students was very low. Clearly, the man exchanged his foundation for a higher cultivation speed and did not come remotely close to Flawless Marrow.

Cain did not react to the man\'s words and continued walking forward.

The name of the third Wave Champion among the students was Carl. He came from a Noble Family with a Marquess and had a powerful Lineage, and there was nothing but excitement in his heart at the start of The Hunt.

However, the threat of death was too much for someone like him, and things reached a climax when an Early Wave Champion Beast almost ripped his head off. That experience shattered his will, so he decided to ignore his foundation and forcefully advance to Wave Champion.

Carl felt great frustration after sacrificing his foundation for cultivation speed, so when he saw how a mere soldier ignored him, he exploded.

"Who do you think you are!"
