"This …"
Taking this sight into sight, Wu Shi's eyebrows shot up.
For a Nascent Saint cultivator to defeat a Saint 2-dan combat master barehanded … Wasn't this a little too frightening?
More importantly, he had just said that the other party was weak, and yet, the other party had defeated Combat Master Zhuo on the spot. This was no different from a slap to his face!
"Based on what we know, there are many Otherworldly Demons in the ancient domain. If they were to capture you, even a 6-star pinnacle master teacher like Xu wouldn't be a match for them! What makes you so confident that you would be able to withstand them? "
With his hands behind his back, Wu Shi stared at Zhang Xuan coldly. With a questioning tone, he asked, "Have you seen an Otherworldly Demon before? Have you come into contact with them? Do you know how fearsome they are? "
"I …"
Zhang Xuan was just about to reply when the Seven Star Master Teacher waved his hand once more.
"To tell you the truth, I have fought with them before, and I have slain 52 of them with my own hands. Not only are they powerful enough to challenge cultivators of a higher cultivation realm than them, more importantly, the killing intent they exude is irresistible!
"Facing such fellows isn't something that you can deal with just because you possess superior fighting prowess. What's more important is your state of mind and will. If you don't possess such strength, it's best for you not to face them."
He wasn't trying to pick on Zhang Xuan, but the situation was simply too dangerous. They couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake, or else they could very well be wiped out.
Even though the other party possessed exceptional fighting prowess and had a formidable teacher, he was still only a young man in his twenties. He had seen plenty of such geniuses in his life, and the fearsome Otherworldly Demons could easily breach their mental barriers.
"As for the Otherworldly Demons …" Zhang Xuan knew that the other party's intentions weren't bad, but he had been a leader for too long, so he was bound to be biased. Shaking his head, he was just about to explain when an elder suddenly rushed in from the outside.
"Principal Zhang …" The elder hurriedly clasped his fist.
Noticing that the other party's complexion was slightly off, Zhang Xuan frowned. "What happened?"
The elder hesitated for a moment before replying, "Principal, Lu Feng... Lu shi requests an audience!"
The conflict between Lu Feng and President Zhang had resulted in Lu Feng nearly being stripped of his master teacher license. Even though the news had only spread within a small circle, he had heard of it as well. From this, it could be seen that the two of them weren't on good terms. Thus, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward, not knowing how he should report the matter.
"Lu Feng?"
Not knowing what Zhang Xuan was thinking, Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before chuckling.
After leaving the seal, he had specifically gone to look for this group of people, but to no avail. Now, it seemed that they had really come out of the Catacombs.
"Please!" He waved his hand.
"Yes …" Seeing that Principal Zhang didn't reprimand him, the elder heaved a sigh of relief before hurriedly leaving the room.
Not too long later, an old man walked in behind him. Who else could it be other than Lu Feng?
At this moment, Lu Feng no longer had the sharp aura he had before. His eyes were simple and unadorned, giving others a feeling of steadiness and steadiness.
It seemed that after the previous incident, his entire mentality had undergone a huge change.
"Dean, you're really fine? That's great … "
Seeing the young man sitting at the center of the room, Lu Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
Although she had guessed that he was fine and had already left the Catacombs, she still felt relieved to see him with her own eyes.
If not for the young man before him, they would have been dead by now. The other party had risked his life to save them and even killed so many Otherworldly Demons. He was deeply indebted to the other party.
"Of course, I'm fine. On the other hand, have you all recovered from your injuries?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.
"We have already fully recovered from our injuries. It was only thanks to Principal Zhang's sacrifice that we were able to survive. Please accept my kowtow!"
After saying those words, Lu Feng kneeled down to the floor.
"Lu shi, you're too polite …" Zhang Xuan walked up to him and helped him up.
Seeing how the two of them, who had been at odds with one another, suddenly became so polite, Elder Mi, Elder Zhao, and the others glanced at one another in bewilderment.
"What's going on?"
Principal Jiang Qingqin couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, it's like that!"
Hearing the question, Lu Feng nodded. "Five days ago, President Zhang entered the Subterranean Gallery personally and saved forty of our 6-star master teachers. On top of that, he single-handedly slew more than two hundred Saint realm Otherworldly Demons and two Saint 4-dan Kings … I have already reported the matter to the headquarters, and I just received a reply. I was just thinking that I couldn't allow President Zhang's contributions to go to waste, but who could have thought that Principal Zhang would have already returned from the Subterranean Gallery …"
"He entered the Subterranean Gallery personally?"
"He saved forty of your 6-star master teachers?"
"He slew more than two hundred Saint realm Otherworldly Demons and even a King?"
…
Hearing those words, the crowd fell silent. Wu Shi, who had been speaking in an imposing manner a moment ago, widened his eyes in shock, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
He had just said that the other party had never seen an Otherworldly Demon before, and Lu Feng suddenly rushed over to claim that he had killed more than two hundred of them … Was this for real?
Even he, a Saint 4-dan expert, had never killed so many Otherworldly Demons!
More importantly, there were two Kings as well!
There was no need to even think about how fearsome the Kings of the Otherworldly Demons were. Even he would have died if he were to encounter one. Yet, from Lu Feng's words, not only was President Zhang fine, he had even killed two Otherworldly Demons in a single breath …
This left him feeling a little stifled, leaving him unable to process what was going on.
"Are you speaking the truth?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course! I can vouch for it with my life!" Lu Feng nodded. "Furthermore, we have already sent the details of the matter to the headquarters, and the headquarters have acknowledged it and converted it into Contribution Points as a reward … The reason why I'm here today is to present these Contribution Points to Principal Zhang."
After saying those words, Lu Feng flicked his wrist and took out a light yellow jade token before passing it over.
"Principal Zhang, you have expended so much effort to slay so many Otherworldly Demons and save us, so we can't let your contributions go to waste … Based on the situation back then, the headquarters have given you a total of 1,211 Contribution Points."
"A … thousand Contribution Points?"
Wu Shi's body staggered, and he nearly spurted blood.
Ever since he had killed his first Otherworldly Demon when he was sixteen, and now, as a Seven Star high-tier master teacher, his contributions over the past several hundred years only amounted to 22 Contribution Points.
This was already more than enough to make him feel proud.
It was just a moment ago that he had mocked President Zhang for his lack of contributions, and yet, the other party had actually given him more than a thousand Contribution Points … Was there a need to be so exaggerated?
Even if he had killed two hundred Saint realm Otherworldly Demons and two Kings, it shouldn't have been possible for him to earn that much!
He wasn't the only one who had such thoughts.
Seemingly seeing through their thoughts, Lu Feng continued, "These Otherworldly Demons came through the seal of the Subterranean Gallery with a unique mission, and it was clear that they were up to no good. If they had escaped, the entire Hongyuan Empire could have suffered a devastating blow. President Zhang's act of killing them is equivalent to thwarting their schemes. Thus, his contribution to the Subterranean Gallery is immeasurable.
"This …" Everyone nodded in realization.
Indeed.
Killing a few Otherworldly Demons might not be a huge contribution, but stopping their schemes and saving countless lives would be a huge contribution.
"There's one more thing that the headquarters hasn't confirmed yet, but they have already sent someone down to verify it. Once it's confirmed, it won't be just a thousand Contribution Points but several tens of thousands …"
Paying no heed to the shock of the crowd, Lu Feng continued.
"Several tens of thousands, several tens of thousands, what kind of contribution is that?"
Mu shi asked anxiously.
Killing a Saint realm Otherworldly Demon didn't earn him a single Contribution Point. From this, it could be seen how difficult it was to earn a Contribution Point.
It was already shocking to earn a thousand Contribution Points in such a short period of time, but there were still several tens of thousands and several tens of thousands of Contribution Points that had yet to be verified. What in the world could it be?
He wasn't the only one who was perplexed. Wu Shi, Elder Mi, and the others were also perplexed, unable to figure out what was going on.
"It's like this. I just entered the Subterranean Gallery once more, and I found that the seal blocking the otherworldly battlefield has been completely repaired … This should be the doing of Principal Zhang, right?"
Lu Feng raised his head and looked at Zhang Xuan.
"If the seal wasn't repaired, the Otherworldly Demons would still invade the Hongyuan Empire. Thus, I spent a few days to repair the seal using the method that my teacher imparted to me."
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"As expected …" Lu Feng's eyes lit up.
Having stayed in the Subterranean Gallery for three months, he was well aware of the extent of wear and tear on the seal. He thought that the invasion of the Otherworldly Demons this time wasn't an exception, and there would surely be more of them in the future. Who could have thought that when he checked the seal once more, it was already completely undamaged?
Since they were all gathered together, it was unlikely that the Otherworldly Demons would dig their own graves. Thus, the only possibility was President Zhang, who had created so many miracles.
He wouldn't have believed it if anyone else had said that the seal could be repaired, but President Zhang had created too many miracles for him to ignore.
That was also the reason why he had tried to verify the other party's words, and as expected, the other party affirmed his words.
Repairing the seal and preventing the Otherworldly Demons from invading the Hongyuan Empire was a huge contribution. Putting aside several tens of thousands, even several tens of thousands of Contribution Points would be hard to come by.
As for how they would evaluate the contribution, they would have to send someone from the headquarters to assess it carefully before they could give a definite answer.
"Isn't the seal related to the laws of space? How can it be repaired? "
"If that's true, this is truly a huge contribution to mankind …"
"How did he do it?"
Hearing the conversation between the duo, the crowd was stunned.
Wu Shi, who was still feeling proud of himself a moment ago, felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.
"Right, Principal Zhang, I noticed that the seal was still slightly damaged when I went there previously, but it was completely repaired this time around … If I'm not mistaken, you have just returned from the Subterranean Gallery, right?"
Recalling something, Lu Feng couldn't help but ask.
In order to find Zhang Xuan, he had come to the seal once before, so he knew what was going on. However, the seal was already completely repaired this time around, which meant that it had just been repaired not too long ago.
"Un. It hasn't even been an hour since I returned!" Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly. "Look, I haven't even had the time to change my clothes yet …"
"I just saved the entire Hongyuan Empire and killed several hundred Otherworldly Demons, and I barely managed to escape from the perilous Subterranean Gallery. As soon as the Assembly Bell rang, I didn't even have the time to rest or change my clothes … Yet, I'm blaming him for being late? Do I think that he's putting on airs? "
Hearing those words, Wu Shi's face reddened, and he wished that he could find a hole to hide in.
