Mountain Sitting Immortal

If he kills one tenth transformation beast with each arrow of 1,500, he will gain 150,000 points. That isn't so in reality, though.

In reality, he misses 10% of his shots and 20% of the ones that hit that don't kill the beasts immediately. So only 70% of his shots can grant him kills worth 100 points each.

70% of 1,500 arrows is still a lot. If 70% of that many arrows grants him 100 points, he will still gain 105,000.

So the limit is not caused by a lack of arrows. The thing limiting him is that there are no more beasts around to kill.

There is a limit to the number of beasts in the waters around each island. Right from the moment he reached 5,000 points, he had begun to be constrained by this limit.

After killing 50 beasts at the tenth transformation, he gained 5,000 points. Unfortunately, the population of such beasts began to dwindle at that point.

The more powerful beasts stayed deeper in the water while the weaker ones stayed closer to the surface. The shallow depths made them easier to kill.

After killing the powerful beasts closer to the surface, it became more difficult to kill the rest because they were deeper, and the influence of the water was making his shots miss.

He had two choices. He could wait for the powerful beasts to come to the surface, or he could kill the weaker ones that were still accessible. He decided to do both.

He began killing every beast in his sight. This was what let him reach 10,000 points. But even then, the matter of scarcity was already kicking in.

He had to walk around the edge of the island to find more beasts to kill. This tidied him over until he reached 15,000 points.

By that point, he had killed 60 beasts at the tenth transformation, 100 at the ninth transformation, and 200 beasts at the eighth transformation. That was a total of 360 kills.

There were still more beasts around, but he didn't care for them. They were at the seventh transformation, which seemed like a waste of time to him.

The beasts at the ninth transformation provided 50 performance points when killed, while the beasts at the eighth transformation provided 20 points. As for the beasts at the seventh transformation, he will only gain 10 points for killing them.

10 points was too small for him. He didn't want to tire himself out killing such small fries while surrounded by enemies.

If he were alone, he would still be picky about what kind of beasts he should kill. 10 points won't be worth the arrow and the energy needed to pull the massive bow.

But he is not alone. He is surrounded by danger on every side.

He has only killed 360 beasts, which took a lot of a toll on him. It took him 515 shots to kill that many because only 70% of his hits were rewarding.

These 515 shots have made his arms sore. If he is to have the energy to fend off the 1,000 enemies around him, he will need to recover quickly.

So Arthur stopped killing the beasts and decided to rest. Patriarch Calcetti was not surprised to see this.

In fact, the patriarch's eyes lit up, and he said, "Things are about to get interesting."

In the examination ground, Arthur sat down and began using his breathing technique to recover his stamina.

He stood hunting and decided to rest so that he could hunt more. He had decided to examine other examinees. For that to happen, he needed strength.

His targets are the examinees on the other islands nearby. He is not targeting the examinees nearby because they are too poor.

The examinees on his island won't give him enough performance points to make it worth it to kill them. This is partly his fault. He has killed too many strong beasts.

This is a good thing for them. By killing the strong beasts for them, the danger of going into the water to hunt has been drastically reduced.

So it is safer for them to hunt. It will just take some time before they can accumulate enough performance points to make it worth his time to eliminate them.

In the meantime, the other islands are doing better and should be the focus of his attention. Those islands are only a kilometer away. That is not far away enough to make them safe from his arrows.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get his way. Immediately he stopped shooting arrows and sat down to rest, the people who had been scheming to gang up on him became restless.

Resting was a clear sign of weakness. Seeing him decide to rest, they thought that this was the best time to ambush him.

They were right to think so. He was indeed in his weakest state currently.

Unfortunately, they were not strong enough to take him on. They were not strong physically or mentally enough to defeat him.

As soon as someone stepped forward towards him with their weapon raised, an arrow took them in their head and made them disappear immediately.

This sight scared them. It scared them a lot. But it wasn't enough to deter all of them.

They were ready to die. That's what they were paid to do. As long as they consume part of his strength, their death would be useful.

So there were still many people rushing towards him to kill him. But as more and more of them disappeared in a flash of red light without being able to get close to him, they were beginning to have second thoughts.

The first group to attack him was led by a young master with 40 people. There were other groups that wanted to attack him. But they were waiting for the first group to gain some result before they took action themselves.

Unfortunately, the outcome of the first fight was underwhelming.
