Along the way, Wang Chen had been harassed by the Eccentric Person.
It had to be said that this guy was very good at being a helper. His concern for him made Wang Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, it was still early. There was still more than an hour before the sky turned dark. Knowing that Wang Chen had to go back to recuperate, the Eccentric Person only sent him to the entrance of Xingchen School before turning back. The remaining hour was enough for him to hunt a few more points. Tomorrow would be the day of the Demon Three Days. Everyone was working hard during the last few days.
Seeing the Eccentric Person leave, Wang Chen let out a long sigh of relief and smiled bitterly. He was finally free. As for why the Eccentric Person sent him back, it went without saying. On one hand, he was worried that Midnight's members or other members would rob him along the way! On the other hand, he was pestering Wang Chen to ask for pointers.
Dragging his heavy footsteps, he walked towards the main hall. As it was still early, the main hall was rather quiet. There were not many people in sight. At the very front, Elder Huang Ya and Elder Ku Gu were sitting quietly at a table with their eyes closed.
"Kid, you're back?" Elder Yellow Teeth asked in surprise when he saw Wang Chen's arrival.
Seeing Wang Chen's slightly disheveled appearance, Elder Withered Bones frowned and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Were you robbed?"
Of course, they knew that Midnight was going to attack Wang Chen. When they heard the news last night, they were really shocked. Then, they sighed! They felt even more helpless about Wang Chen's actions these few days. Robbing a small team was indeed audacious and had attracted trouble.
"Let's register the points!" Seeing their worried expressions, Wang Chen smiled bitterly. He took out the 15 Xingchen School Beads and placed them on the table in front of him.
"Hiss …"
The moment Elder Yellow Teeth and Elder Withered Bones saw the Star Beads, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Then, they looked at each other!
"You … you couldn't have snatched all these Star Pearls from Ziye, right?" Elder Yellow-tooth asked in disbelief as he stared at Wang Chen with wide eyes.
Knowing that Midnight was going all out to kill Wang Chen today, the two of them were worried about how much of Wang Chen's wealth would be plundered.
After all, in the past two months, Wang Chen had risen to prominence as a new student and had become a shining star in Xingchen School, attracting much attention! Furthermore, he had become the focus of attention. The First Elder of the Inner Sanctum had even spoken to the two of them to pay more attention to him and focus on nurturing him.
Especially this month, Wang Chen's results had been very good. He was now ranked 13th on the Stars List, and with this momentum, it was very likely that he would make it to the top 10.
If that was really the case, he would be able to make three consecutive jumps to the top ten within three months. Such an achievement would definitely be recorded in the annals of Xingchen School's history. Both of them hoped to see the rise of such a new star.
However, Midnight's attack seemed to have made the two of them lose hope, and they felt that it was a pity for Wang Chen.
Now, Wang Chen, who they thought would be plundered, displayed a pile of Star Pearls in front of them. How could the two of them not be shocked?
"Yes!" Wang Chen replied calmly to Elder Yellow-tooth's question. He had almost lost half his life for these Star Pearls.
"Heavens, you brat, you're really …" Elder Yellow-teeth opened his mouth after getting a definite answer, but he didn't know what to say. All that was left was the shock in his heart. He stared at Elder Withered Bones and could only shake his head and smile bitterly. This Wang Chen seemed to be able to surprise them every time.
"15 Star Pearls, 60 points. Yes, your points have exceeded 900 now. I'll write them down for you!" After a while, Elder Yellow-tooth wrote down Wang Chen's points on his waist tag under Wang Chen's urging, while Elder Withered Bones walked towards the Stars Leaderboard. Obviously, as the points changed, Wang Chen's name changed again! Especially when the others had not returned, he definitely had to move forward.
After receiving the points tag satisfactorily, he looked at the Stars Leaderboard. At this moment, his name was already ranked 11th on the Stars Leaderboard with a total of 907 points. He was still 5 points away from the person in 10th place.
Of course, this was under the condition that the others had not returned yet. If nothing went wrong, his name would drop again tonight. However, it would definitely not be a problem for him to maintain his position in the top 13. As for his final ranking, he could only wait and see tomorrow.
"I'll make a move first!" Wang Chen said to the two elders as he kept his waist tag.
He had a good impression of the two elders. Although they were a little annoying at times, they took good care of him. This was something that Wang Chen could clearly feel.
Looking at the departing Wang Chen, Elder Yellow-tooth and Elder Withered Bones looked at each other in the cold hall with bitter smiles on their faces.
After a moment, Elder Huang Ya blinked and said in disbelief, "This brat is incredible. Fifteen Star Beads. If I remember correctly, there should only be twenty-three Midnight Beads. Fifteen Star Beads means that half of the Midnight Beads have been plundered?"
"That's right. Furthermore, there must be a True Martialist's Star Pearl. I heard that Kuang Ren and Ye Yu have joined the hunt. If that's the case, both of them should have failed!" Elder Withered Bones frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
"Kong Jie is a Rank 1 True Martialist, and Ye Yu should be about to enter the ranks of a Rank 2 True Martialist! Tsk tsk tsk … both of them failed?! "Elder Yellow-tooth was a little incredulous.
"This kid is unfathomable!" In the end, both of them could only shake their heads and laugh bitterly as they said the same thing in unison.
"Perhaps he really has a chance of making it into the top 10 this month. If that's the case, those people in the inner sect should have nothing to say!" Elder Withered Bones seemed to have thought of something and said with a slightly more serious expression.
"Let's wait and see. Ziye won't give up just like that. Don't forget about Xiao Hu, Luo Sen, and the others!" Elder Yellow-tooth said with a slightly heavy tone.
Looking at the direction in which Wang Chen had left, both of them fell into silence with a little bit of anticipation in their eyes!
… …
Back in his room, Wang Chen laid down on the bed and panted heavily for a while before he felt a little more comfortable.
The intense battle had made his entire body feel sore as if it had fallen apart. It was as if his body could not muster up an ounce of strength. He felt lazy and his eyelids felt heavy. All he wanted was to have a good sleep!
However, Wang Chen knew that now was not the time to sleep. The throbbing in his body made him unable to calm down. The time to break through had arrived. If he missed this opportunity, he did not know how long he would have to wait for the next one. No matter how tired he was, he had to try.
"Wait, kid. Drink some milk first. It'll be easier this way!" Just as Wang Chen forced himself to sit up and was about to cultivate, Lin Zhan's image appeared and said anxiously.
"En, who else is prepared? I'll help you put some water in the cold pond. You can try to break through in there!" Lin Zhan said with a frown.
That unquestionable tone made Wang Chen a little confused. He did not know what was going on.
However, since Lin Zhan said so, Wang Chen knew that something was definitely going to happen. So, he quickly did as he was told.
About three minutes later, a large wooden bucket was carried into the room by Wang Chen. It was filled with ice-cold water. Then, with Lin Zhan's help, he dripped three drops of the cold pond's water into the bucket.
In an instant, the cold air lingered, causing the only trace of warmth in the room to disappear. It sank into a hole in the ice.
In the past, even if he used the cold pond's water for cultivation, Lin Zhan would only drip one drop at a time. This time, he actually put in three drops at once. This made Wang Chen suck in a breath of cold air. He did not know what the temperature of the water in the wooden bucket was, but the rapidly condensing ice dregs made him tremble with fear.
"Alright, kid, drink two drops of the milk before you put it in. Remember, two drops, no more. Your body can't handle such a large amount of energy. Don't go too short, or else it won't be effective. En, two drops is just right!
Wait, after you break through, don't be in a hurry to stop. Let the True Inner Force flow through your meridians into your dantian and circulate it a few more times until you can't handle it anymore. Do you hear me? " After doing all this, Lin Zhan used an incomparably solemn tone to instruct Wang Chen. His face was unprecedentedly serious.
