Yan Qiu joined the team, and Team B was completed. About five days later, the members who were poisoned had recovered, and Chen Zong accepted a mission.
This was Chen Zong's first time leading a team to carry out a mission after becoming a team leader. He wanted to practice first, so he chose a mission that was below the Mystic level. No one had any objections.
Different team leaders had different leadership styles. They needed to adapt in order to be able to cooperate better and develop tacit understanding. For example, the previous team leader, Qiu Ming, also used the process of several Mystic level missions to develop a good tacit understanding.
For Team B Nine, the Dark Rank mission was not that difficult. It was equivalent to practice. In this mission, Chen Zong had also grasped the fighting style and other habits of his team members by relying on the amazing mysteries of the Heart Sutra. He was able to integrate them better.
To be honest, Chen Zong did not have any superb leadership skills. This was not Chen Zong's area of expertise. However, with the help of the Heart Sutra and the understanding of his team members' fighting styles, Chen Zong was able to make full use of them. How to distribute them could achieve the best efficiency.
One Mystic level mission, two Mystic level missions, three Mystic level missions.
One Intermediate Mystic level mission, two Intermediate Mystic level missions, three Intermediate Mystic level missions, four Intermediate Mystic level missions, five Intermediate Mystic level missions.
This was accomplished within a short span of a year. Such efficiency in carrying out missions was simply astonishing. One must know that although carrying out missions could earn contribution points, they also had to bear the corresponding risks. The slightest bit of carelessness would result in death and the destruction of one's soul.
Therefore, after the Sky Sword troops carried out a mission, they would wait a few months or even a few years before carrying out the next mission.
However, Chen Zong's Team B, Team B, carried out eight missions in a short year. Among them, three were Low Mystic level missions and five were Intermediate Mystic level missions. Furthermore, they completed all of them. This directly alarmed the others, and their name spread throughout the Sky Sword troops.
On one hand, the team members were on tenterhooks, but on the other hand, they were enjoying the thrill of having their contribution points continuously increase in a short period of time. It was painful but happy at the same time. Of course, they admired Chen Zong very much. They felt that making Chen Zong the team leader was the best choice they had made at that time.
As for the Profound-level mission, Chen Zong had experienced it once, so he knew how difficult it was. He was lucky to be able to complete the Profound-level mission, but he still lost a member.
Therefore, before he became stronger, Chen Zong did not plan to accept any profound-level missions.
"The Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Sword Principle Origin are both in Taihao Mountain, but …" Chen Zong could not help but ponder.
He continued to carry out missions, continuously earning contribution points, and then using his position as the team leader, he looked up the various treasures that could be exchanged at Taihao Mountain. However, there were too many treasures, and it took Chen Zong a long time to find them. This was mainly because his position was not high enough. If his position was high enough, he would not need to spend so much time and would be able to find them directly.
Although he knew that the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Sword Principle Origin were in Taihao Mountain, Chen Zong could not exchange for them.
The Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Sword Principle Origin were treasures that belonged to the Sixth Realm of the Emperor Level. They were extraordinary. To exchange for them not only required a large amount of contribution points, but also a certain status. At least, with Chen Zong's current status, it was impossible for him to exchange for them.
Either Chen Zong had to become a sword-bearing disciple, or Chen Zong had to be able to become a senior captain in the Sky Sword troops. Only then would he be qualified to exchange for them.
As for the Wu Kong Divine Flower that was required, it did not exist at Taihao Mountain.
Of course, it was also possible that Chen Zong's level was not high enough, so he did not know.
In that case, in addition to earning contribution points as much as possible, he also had to do his best to raise his status. However, if he wanted to become a sword-bearing disciple or a senior captain in the Sky Sword troops, he had to at least reach the Fifth Realm.
Was there no way for him to cultivate the second level of the Sword Body of the Divine Demon when he was at the Fourth Realm?
After thinking about it, Chen Zong did not have any solution at the moment. He could only take one step at a time. Perhaps he would encounter a suitable opportunity in the future.
However, before that, Chen Zong took a fancy to a sword. It was a mid-grade Dao Weapon.
This sword was called Returning Moon. It was a Dao Weapon of the Sword Principle Attribute. It could double the power of any sword technique or Sword Principle Unique Skill. Of course, such an increase could not be compared to the Boundless World Sword's amplification of the World Sword Principle and the World Sword Principle, but it was better in all aspects.
After all, the Boundless World Sword could only amplify the World Sword Principle and the World Sword Principle. It could not amplify other Great Path Sword Principles and other Sword Principles.
The Returning Moon Sword was enough to make Chen Zong's overall strength significantly improve.
However, after exchanging for the Returning Moon Sword, Chen Zong's contribution points were basically used up.
Thus, he had to continue to do missions.
However, when Chen Zong was studying the missions, a message came.
Tianguang Peak was going to conduct the assessment of the participating disciples, and Chen Zong was notified to go back and participate.
The Worshipping Sword Disciples were the lowest level, followed by the participating disciples, and above them were the Sword Bearing Disciples.
The Sword Bearing Disciples were all Kings in the Fifth Realm. They were strong and powerful, and their status was not inferior to that of the outer mountain elders, or even higher. After all, being an outer mountain elder often meant that one's potential had been exhausted. It was almost like that. It was not so easy to be promoted to an inner mountain elder.
However, the Sword Bearing Disciples were different. At the very least, they could become an inner mountain elder, or even someone with a higher status. That was potential.
However, to become a Sword Bearing Disciple, one must first be a participating disciple, and secondly, one must reach the Fifth Realm.
Since he was given the opportunity to take the assessment, Chen Zong of course would not decline. He immediately left the Heavenly Sword Peak and returned to Tianguang Peak.
This time, there were more than 300 sword apprentices participating in the Participating Sword Disciple Assessment. Not everyone was qualified to be part of it.
After all, after becoming a participating disciple, the treatment was much better than that of a participating disciple.
The person in charge of the Sword Bearing Disciple Assessment was the Elder Helu of the inner mountain, whom Chen Zong had met once. Seeing Chen Zong, Elder Helu's gaze paused for a moment and then moved away, as if he did not pay much attention to him. However, Elder Helu was actually quite surprised by Chen Zong.
An outsider who was not trained by Taihao Mountain early on, but had excellent swordsmanship and strength. It was said that his performance in the Heavenly Sword Army was also very impressive.
"I won't say anything unnecessary. The location of this assessment is in the Mysterious Realm of Fierce Demons of the nineteen secret realms." Elder Helu had a dignified expression on his face, which was his usual appearance. "The duration of the assessment is one month. You are not allowed to form a team. You can only hunt alone. If you obtain at least one thousand contribution points in the Mysterious Realm of Fierce Demons, you will pass the assessment."
Fourth Realm strong men could not obtain any contribution points by killing Third Realm fierce demons in the Mysterious Realm of Fierce Demons. They could only obtain one contribution point by killing Fourth Realm fierce demons.
This meant that they had to kill one thousand Fourth Realm fierce demons in the universe.
Was it easy to kill one thousand Fourth Realm fierce demons in one month?
It sounded easy, but in fact, it was not easy at all. Fierce demons were not cabbages or radishes that could be killed easily. Moreover, the fierce demons usually did not appear, but when they did appear, they usually came in groups. The requirement of the assessment was to hunt alone, not in a team.
One against many fierce demons of the same Fourth Realm, and some of them even had terrifying strength. For example, the Complete Body Fierce Demons or the Ultimate Fierce Demons. Once encountered, one could only flee.
Chen Zong, who had stayed in the Mysterious Realm of Fierce Demons for a period of time, knew very well how difficult it was to kill one thousand Fourth Realm fierce demons in one month.
"This assessment does not involve life or death. It has not started yet, so you can still withdraw." Elder Helu's dignified gaze swept over.
Life or death!
This meant that if there was any danger in the Mysterious Realm of Fierce Demons, they could only save themselves. Of course, if they were lucky, they might be able to get help from other participants.
Elder He Lu's words fell, but no one backed out. The danger of life and death was within reason.
"In that case, all of you should prepare yourselves." Elder Helu nodded silently. If they withdrew because of this, their will would be too weak, and they would be doomed to have little success on the path of the sword. "If you pass the assessment, the first place will receive an additional reward."
These words immediately stirred up everyone's interest.
If the first place could receive an additional reward, what kind of reward would it be?
Unfortunately, Elder Helu did not say. It was very mysterious, and they could only wait until the end of the assessment to find out.
The assessment began, and more than three hundred sword disciples of Tianguang Peak stepped into the Mysterious Realm of Fierce Demons one after another. They quickly dispersed because they could not form teams.
This was the second time Chen Zong had entered this place, and it had not been long since he entered, so he felt a sense of familiarity.
Previously, Chen Zong had to leave because he was chased by a Fourth Realm ultimate fierce demon. This time, he could only hope that he would not encounter an ultimate fierce demon or a Fifth Realm fierce demon before the end of the assessment. Otherwise, he would have to face the same situation as last time.
If he failed the assessment, he would not be able to become a sword disciple and would have to wait for the next opportunity. However, it was not clear when the next assessment would be.
The assessment of the disciples of Taihao Mountain did not have a fixed time. Everything depended on the specific situation.
The Mysterious Realm of Fierce Demons was extremely vast. After the three hundred people dispersed, they disappeared like stones thrown into the sea.
Chen Zong moved quickly, immediately flying toward the place where he knew the Fourth Realm fierce demons appeared.
One month's time was very limited.
Even if he did not encounter any great danger, if he was unlucky, he might not be able to kill one thousand Fourth Realm fierce demons in the universe. He would not be able to complete the assessment task and become a sword disciple.
Chen Zong's mind was spinning, but he did not slow down at all. On the contrary, he moved at full speed, quickly heading toward the place where he knew the Fourth Realm fierce demons were.
It just so happened that in addition to the assessment, he could also let the black mark and the mysterious seed devour the life force. In the past year of carrying out missions, Chen Zong did not dare to let the black mark and the mysterious seed devour the life force in order to not reveal his secret because he was with his team members.
Now, he could directly devour the life force as he moved alone.
Vaguely, Chen Zong felt a sense of excitement and anticipation.
Kill, kill to your heart's content, devour to your heart's content, and grow to your heart's content.
