As soon as the voice of the old man in charge of the examination fell, everyone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Then the whole place became silent in an instant. It was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be clearly heard.
This number even shocked Vice President Bai En who was sitting at the head of the table to the point that he was speechless. His eyes stared blankly at the large pile of second rank magic nuclei on the table with a shocked expression on his face. This number had already surpassed Bugadier who was ranked first in the previous harvest of magic nuclei.
After a long time, finally a student couldn't help but shout loudly, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. He's not even a Saint, how could he harvest so many magic nuclei in the third region? More than a dozen more than Bugadier who is ranked first in the top ten experts of the academy. This is absolutely impossible. He must have brought these magic nuclei in from the outside."
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. Following the words of this student, more and more voices of opposition sounded. Jianchen's harvest of nearly a hundred first rank magic nuclei had already made many people jealous and felt very unbalanced. Not to mention, he actually took out another one hundred and eighteen second rank magic nuclei. In terms of quantity, it was even more than the first rank magic nuclei. This made all the students of the academy unable to accept.
Below the stage, Bugadier who was currently ranked first in the top ten experts of Kargath Academy looked at Jianchen's back with a shocked expression and muttered, "His strength is obviously not even a Saint, how could he harvest so many second rank magic nuclei? Could it be that he really brought all the magic nuclei in his hands in from the outside?" Bugadier couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, but he immediately rejected it because before entering the forest, the academy had already confiscated all the space tools that could be used to carry items on the body of all the students. Moreover, they had also undergone a strict inspection. Moreover, there was only one entrance to the forest. There was simply no opportunity to bring magic nuclei in from the outside.
Moreover, even if it was really possible to bring magic nuclei in from the outside, Bugadier believed that no one would be so stupid as to take out more than a hundred second rank magic nuclei in one go. Because this was bound to cause a shock in the entire academy. At that time, the academy would definitely send people to investigate this matter.
Not far away, although her clothes were very tattered, but her appearance was very beautiful. Her eyes were a little absent-minded as she looked at Jianchen's back standing on the stage and muttered, "How is this possible, he is a new student who is not even a Saint, yet he actually obtained more than a hundred second rank magic nuclei." The soft and pleasant voice of the young girl was filled with shock and disbelief.
On the other side, when the old man in charge of the examination announced the number of magic nuclei that Jianchen had obtained, Cheng Mingxiang's mouth was wide open in astonishment. He stared at Jianchen standing on the stage with a face full of disbelief. However, his face immediately became gloomy and was completely replaced by anger. This was because the top three in terms of the number of magic nuclei obtained from the hunting of magical beasts were all rewarded. Although these rewards were not in the eyes of the children born in big families, for them, it represented a kind of honor and a symbol of strength. Originally, Cheng Mingxiang was ranked third, but Jianchen forcefully squeezed him out of the top three ranks. This made him very angry in his heart, and what he couldn't accept was that Jianchen's strength was not even a Saint.
"Changyang Shōten …" In the blink of an eye, Cheng Mingxiang's face had become incomparably gloomy. His gaze towards Jianchen was filled with resentment.
In the crowd, Luo Jian's face was also gloomy. His eyes were filled with resentment as he stared at Jianchen on the stage. His sharp gaze was as if he wanted to eat Jianchen alive.
Now, although Jianchen's strength was weak, his "Spirit" could be said to be very powerful. If one looked at him with ordinary eyes, he might not be able to sense it. However, if one looked at him with a particularly sharp gaze, his Spirit would immediately sense it. Therefore, Luo Jian and Cheng Mingxiang's gazes filled with resentment were immediately sensed by Jianchen. Jianchen slightly turned his head, and relying on his powerful Spirit to sense the direction, he very easily found Luo Jian who was submerged in the crowd.
Looking at Luo Jian's gloomy expression, Jianchen coldly smiled. He didn't take it to heart. He had robbed all the magic cores in Luo Jian's hands, causing him to be unable to complete his mission. Moreover, he had also injured him. It was normal for him to have resentment towards himself.
However, when Jianchen's gaze fell on Cheng Mingxiang, his brows slightly wrinkled. At the same time, his face revealed a trace of helplessness. There was no hatred between him and Cheng Mingxiang. Previously, when he had a small conflict with Cheng Mingxiang outside the library, it was not enough to make Cheng Mingxiang resent him so much. The biggest reason for this was because he had squeezed Cheng Mingxiang out of the top three.
After all, to be able to obtain the top three results in the competition of all the students in the school was simply a great honor for them. Especially those disciples who were born in noble families. This honor could simply raise their status abruptly.
If it was any other top ten master who squeezed Cheng Mingxiang out of the top three, he would absolutely not feel any displeasure in his heart. However, this time, the person who squeezed him out of the top three was not a top ten master, but a freshman who he had never put in his eyes. This made Cheng Mingxiang, who was known as a cultivation genius in Kargath Academy, feel a burst of humiliation in his heart. He didn't expect that a freshman who had just entered the school would ride on his head. This made him resent Jianchen in his heart.
Although there was still Tie Ta, Tie Ta was the Dean's disciple. Even if Cheng Mingxiang had a powerful background, he did not dare to casually offend the Dean.
The old man in charge of the assessment took a deep breath and did his best to calm himself down. He looked deeply at Jianchen and smiled, "Changyang Shōten, you have really shocked me. I didn't expect that you would be able to obtain so many second rank monster cores with your strength not even at the Saint realm. This has already surpassed the current number one in terms of monster cores, Bugadier. It seems that the first place this time will belong to none other than you." After saying that, the old man handed over the space belt that belonged to Jianchen and a medal of honor to him.
Jianchen chuckled and took the items from the old man. He said, "Teacher, you're exaggerating. It's still hard to say who the first place will belong to. After all, there is still Tie Ta behind me. He has no less monster cores than me." After saying that, Jianchen took out all the monster cores from his space belt.
Hearing Jianchen's words, the old man looked meaningfully at Jianchen and smiled, but did not say anything.
After Jianchen put away all the second rank monster cores on the table into his space belt, he directly walked off the platform. After that, Iron Tower came to the desk and took out all the Tier 2 Monster Cores from his spatial belt.
After all, Tie Ta had entered the third region with Jianchen, so the monster cores he obtained were equally distributed. As a result, the number of monster cores in his space belt was almost the same as Jianchen's. In the end, the old man in charge of the assessment counted that Tie Ta had a total of 127 second rank monster cores, which was only one less than Jianchen's.
When the old man in charge of the assessment announced that Tie Ta had a total of two rank monster cores, all the teachers and students were shocked speechless once again.
Below the platform, Jing Mingyue, who was ranked fifth on the list of top ten experts of Kargath Academy, stood there in a daze. Her eyes seemed a little absent-minded. She was originally ranked second, but now she had been pushed down by two new students who had suddenly appeared. This result was a little unacceptable to her. After all, she had spent a lot of effort to obtain those monster cores. She really could not imagine how two new students who had just entered the academy this year and had not even reached Saint realm had obtained so many monster cores.
At this moment, a very beautiful girl came up to Jing Mingyue and intimately hugged her waist. She chuckled, "Sister Jing, you didn't expect that, right? You were originally ranked second, but you were actually pushed down by two new students this year."
Hearing that, Jing Mingyue sighed and said with a bitter smile, "I really didn't expect that two new students who have not even reached Saint realm would have so many monster cores. Even the number one expert of our Kargath Academy, Bugadier, was forcefully pushed down to third place. I really don't know how they obtained the monster cores in their hands. Could it be that they really brought them in from outside?"
Hearing this, the young woman chuckled and said, "Big Sister Jing, you've guessed wrongly. I believe that they obtained those Class 2 Monster Cores with their own strength, and they didn't bring them in from the outside like you've imagined."
The girl's words stunned Jing Mingyue. She immediately turned her head and looked at the girl with a puzzled expression. She asked curiously, "Xiao Le, why do you say that?"
The girl smiled mysteriously and a trace of pride appeared on her face. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Sister Jing, I met the two of them in the second region and stayed with them for a day. You mustn't underestimate them. They are very powerful, especially that Changyang Shōten. He used a broken iron rod to kill rank one magical beasts in one strike several times. He directly pierced through the throats of magical beasts."
"Really?" Jing Mingyue's eyes revealed a trace of surprise. She clearly didn't believe it.
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. It can't be fake." The young girl puffed out her chest and said with certainty, "Also, that night, we were attacked by more than 20 green wolves. The two of them killed all of them without much effort."
"What? You're saying that the two of them killed all of the green wolves?" Hearing this, Jing Mingyue could no longer maintain her composure, and a trace of horror appeared on her face. Although her strength had reached the high-level Saint realm, she could only flee in the face of more than 20 level-1 magical beasts, let alone kill them.
The girl nodded firmly and said, "Yes, sister Jing. I saw it with my own eyes. Although Changyang Shōten and Tie Ta haven't condensed a Saint Weapon yet, they're no weaker than Saints. That's why I'm certain that they didn't bring the monster cores in from outside."
Hearing that, Jing Mingyue lowered her head and pondered. She didn't show any dissatisfaction at being pushed out of the top three by Jianchen and Tie Ta. From this, it could be seen that Jing Mingyue wasn't a narrow-minded person.
After the examination of the Monster Cores was completed, the award ceremony was held immediately. The top three rankers in terms of the number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Monster Cores obtained in this event would receive the same rewards. The first ranker would be rewarded with a Tier 4 Monster Core and an Honor Badge made entirely of Purple Gold. The second and third rankers would be rewarded with a Tier 3 Monster Core and an Honor Badge made entirely of Gold.
Although these medals weren't worth much, the significance they represented was extraordinary. As a result, even the disciples of nobles with some backing were extremely envious of these medals of honor.
As for Jian Chen and Tie Ta, they were ranked first and second in terms of the amount of Class 1 and Class 2 Monster Cores they obtained. Therefore, the two of them received double rewards. The third in terms of Class 1 Monster Cores was still Mu Tian, while the third in terms of Class 2 Monster Cores was the top of the Kargath Academy's Ten Great Experts Ranking, Bugadier.
