"Even Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beasts can be killed?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before coming to a realization.
He had checked the storage ring, but there wasn't any Beastscale Incense in it. This meant that the two of them were still carrying it.
Since that was the case, it wasn't entirely impossible for them to hunt Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beasts.
Even though Leiyuan Peak had been mostly cleared out by Elder Mi, there were still Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beasts around. As long as they searched carefully, they should be able to find quite a few of them.
The spirit beasts surrounding the master teachers had dispersed. Without a leader to coordinate their movements, and with a treasure like the Beastscale Incense in hand, their chances of killing spirit beasts had increased significantly. As such, it wasn't a big deal for them to obtain so many spirit beasts.
Just that … why were those two fellows dressed in beastskin?
Did the aerial spirit beast strip them of their clothes as well?
Wasn't this a little too much of a prank?
It was no wonder the beastskin looked as though it had been gnawed on by a dog. Without their storage rings or weapons, it would have been difficult for them to be neatly trimmed. Most likely, they had been torn out forcefully.
"How pitiful!"
Zhang Xuan looked at the other party with pity in his eyes.
Two talented master teachers had been stripped naked by a spirit beast and thrown into a valley. Just the thought of it was incomparably pitiful.
While Zhang Xuan was filled with sympathy for Zhang Xuan, Brother Yu didn't share the same sentiments. Basking in the astonished exclamations of the crowd, he placed his hands behind his back proudly before turning to Zhang Xuan and said, "I've taken out my inner core. Zhang shi, what about yours?"
"Mine?"
Knowing that this was a bet, Zhang Xuan didn't think too much into it. With a light smile, he flicked his wrist, and a pile of inner cores fell out.
Along the way, he had killed a few Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle spirit beasts. Adding the ones that the two of them had obtained previously, he had a huge pile of inner cores.
However, there weren't any Perfect Harmonization realm inner cores among them.
"Luoyang Beast, Bluesmoke Beast, Seven Feelers Beast … Why do they look so familiar?"
Upon seeing the inner cores that Zhang Xuan had tossed out, Brother Yu and Senior Feng glanced at one another in astonishment.
The inner cores that had been snatched away by the spirit beasts in the morning seemed to overlap with those of Zhang Shi.
"Perhaps … the spirit beasts on the mountain are of similar species!"
After hesitating for a moment, he thought to himself.
Their storage rings were stolen by a spirit beast, so it was impossible for it to be related to Zhang Shi so coincidentally. The only possibility was that there were many spirit beasts on the mountain and everyone was hunting the same ones, so it was not a big deal.
"Even though there's quite a lot of Inner Cores, they're still lacking compared to ours. That fellow … is bound to lose!"
After recovering from his shock, his eyes lit up.
This Zhang Shi had defeated Senior Feng with a single finger and had even taken out a Superior Spirit Stone as a wager. Due to this, Zhang Shi had been feeling a little uneasy. However, when he saw the number and type of Inner Cores that Zhang Shi had taken out, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
With a light chuckle, Zhang Xuan's confidence returned. Clasping his fist, he turned to the seniors in front of him and said, "Seniors, please verify my score!"
"Alright!"
Seeing that both sides had taken out so many inner cores, the seniors were shocked and lowered their heads to check.
A moment later, one of the seniors stepped forward and said, "This junior has a Perfect Harmonization realm Pill, three Cosmos Bridge realm Pills, twenty-six Consonant Spirit realm Pills, and eighteen Clarifying Turbidity realm pinnacle Pills. That's a total of 2,658 points!"
"Two thousand five hundred points?"
"This … That is insane!"
"I thought that Senior Hu of Wanyu Empire's 700 points was already incredible enough, but who could have thought that this fellow would be even more vicious! Two thousand points … That is probably going to break the record! It's no wonder why he's so arrogant. With such strength and capability, it's impossible for him not to be arrogant! "
"I wonder how many points the master teacher who came this afternoon has. However, compared to 2,600 points, he shouldn't have much of an advantage …"
…
A huge commotion broke out in the surroundings.
Everyone else didn't even manage to obtain a single point, but that fellow actually managed to obtain more than two thousand points. Just the thought of it was frightening.
"How many points do you think that Zhang Shi has?"
After recovering from their shock, everyone turned their gazes to Zhang Xuan curiously.
Considering how the two beast-skinned master teachers were able to obtain so many points, considering that Zhang Shi dared to bet with him, it was likely that he wasn't weak either!
"That Zhang Shi has five Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle, three Cosmos Bridge realm primary stage, and thirteen Consonant Spirit realm Pills … Altogether, he has a total of 2,580 points!"
Another senior in charge of assessing the score reported.
"Two thousand five hundred and eighty? Only seventy points short, what a pity! "
Hearing the total points, the crowd was taken aback for a moment before a huge commotion broke out.
It wouldn't be a big deal if the gap was huge. However, given that both of them had more than two thousand points, and there was only a difference of less than a hundred points, it would be a huge pity to lose.
"Not enough?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback as well.
Initially, Zhang Xuan thought that it would be difficult for the two of them to defeat him after their storage rings were snatched away by the aerial spirit beast. Who could have thought that with just a single Beastscale Incense, they would be able to turn the tables around?
Incredible!
As expected of the geniuses of the other powers, it seemed like … they were not to be underestimated.
'If I lose, do I really have to give the high-tier spirit stones to the other party … '
Not expecting to lose, Zhang Xuan didn't think too much about it. Given that he didn't have enough points at the moment, he couldn't possibly just give away the high-tier spirit stones that he had painstakingly obtained!
'Should I … take out the Myriad Anthive Queen? '
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before shaking his head.
If he were to take out the Myriad Anthive Queen, the matter of them being monitored would surely be exposed. The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's scheme against so many master teachers through the Byzantium Helios Beast would also come to light … In the end, it would be no different from taking out the Byzantium Helios Beast.
No matter what he did, he would only stand out too much and become the target of everyone.
But since they had already made a bet, was he really going to lose the high-tier spirit stones to the other party?
"Alright, the result is out. Zhang Shi, what else do you have to say?"
Seeing that he had won, Brother Yu clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes glowed in excitement.
"What else do you have to say …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "This is the total points of the two of you. It doesn't mean that you have won against me!"
"Indeed, this is the total points of both of them, how can it be counted as one?"
"If the two of them were to hunt together, Zhang Shi would still be the victor …"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Since the two of them were hunting together while Zhang Shi was the only one, it was clear that the latter was the victor, right?
"Elder Mi has said that we are allowed to pick any points we want when we work together. I will only take 77 points, and the rest will go to Brother Yu!"
Seemingly expecting Zhang Xuan to say such words, Senior Feng said with a smile.
"Shameless!"
"If he only takes 77 points, that means that Brother Yu has 2,581 points, a single point higher than Zhang Shi!"
"He must be doing it on purpose!"
"But this is a rule left behind by Elder Mi, no one can say anything about it …"
…
Hearing Senior Feng's words, the crowd was rendered speechless.
Elder Mi had said that they were allowed to pick any points they wanted when they hunted together. Yet, this fellow only took 77 points, leaving Brother Yu with 2,581 points. In other words, he was only one point higher than Zhang Shi … How shameless!
"Seniors, may I know if this is acceptable?"
Ignoring the commotion of the crowd, Senior Feng clasped his fist.
"This …"
After a moment of hesitation, the group nodded.
Since it was a rule, there was no way they could go against it.
"That's good … Zhang Shi, what else do you have to say now? Even if I take 77 points, Brother Yu will still be one point higher than you. You will still lose … "
Senior Feng's lips curled up.
After being defeated by this fellow time and time again, he had finally managed to embarrass the other party. Wave after wave of exhilaration washed over him, and he felt as if he could soar into the sky at any moment.
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella.
The other party was right. Even if that fellow took 77 points, Brother Yu would still be one point higher than him, and he would still lose the duel.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan turned to the seniors and asked, "Seniors, may I know if the time for the hunt is over?"
"Time?"
One of the seniors turned around and saw an incense stick on a stone pedestal not too far away. At this moment, smoke was rising from the incense stick, and it was about to reach its end.
The requirement for the trial was one day. It wasn't just a general rule, but a precise timekeeping. Although the sun was setting in the west, there was still some time before the day was over. Only when the incense completely burned out would the trial be considered over.
"There's still around ten minutes left …"
After calculating the speed at which the incense stick was burning, the senior said.
"Ten minutes?"
"Yes!"
The senior nodded.
"Why? Do you think that the time for the hunt isn't over yet? Do you think that you can make it in ten minutes? "
Hearing the conversation between the duo, Brother Yu knew what the other party was getting at, and he burst into laughter.
Most of the spirit beasts below the waist of the mountain had already been killed. Given that they were at the foot of the mountain, it would take more than ten minutes to reach the waist of the mountain, not to mention, they still had to find the spirit beasts … If they really wanted to turn the tables, they might not even be able to do it in an hour!
That was wishful thinking!
"It's true that we don't have enough time …"
Looking at the incense stick, the other master teachers couldn't help but shake their heads.
To hunt a spirit beast on such a tall mountain within ten minutes … unless one was capable of flight!
Otherwise, it would be impossible.
"Just admit defeat. Even if you have ten minutes, it's impossible for you to succeed. Besides, I only said that you need 77 points. If you only need a single point, you will have to kill a Cosmos Bridge realm spirit beast or two Consonant Spirit realm spirit beasts. Do you think that you can do it?"
By the side, Senior Feng sneered coldly.
There was a difference of 78 points between them. If he only needed a single point, Zhang Shi would have to obtain 78 points in order to surpass Brother Yu.
The inner core of a Consonant Spirit realm pinnacle spirit beast was worth 40 points. In other words, he would have to kill two of them … unless he killed a Cosmos Bridge realm spirit beast!
However, it was a pity that they had only managed to find a handful of Cosmos Bridge realm spirit beasts after searching the area for an entire day. To think that he would be able to kill one and bring back its inner core in less than ten minutes … wasn't that just a dream?
"This … It won't be easy for me to do it!"
Ignoring the doubts of the crowd and Senior Feng's mockery, Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella and said, "It's a pity that I don't want to lose yet. I can only give it a try!"
After saying those words, he suddenly raised his head and let out a shrill cry.
Wuuuuuu!
Hearing the cry, a massive Great Violetwing Beast flew over. With a flap of its broad wings, it disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant, heading straight for the mountain peak.
"That … half 9-dan tamed beast of yours? It can only be used once. Did you not use it during the day? "
Senior Feng and Brother Yu glanced at one another, and their faces suddenly turned ghastly pale.
