In the Mysterious Territory of the Evil Beasts, the sky was originally calm. Suddenly, ripples appeared, like a stone thrown into a calm water surface. The ripples turned into a whirlpool.
The moment the whirlpool appeared, a spot of clear light appeared. Then, like a clear aurora, it rushed out of the center of the whirlpool with an indescribable aura of the Holy Spirit. It flew away from the whirlpool at an extremely fast speed.
Terrifying roars filled with anger could be heard from within the vortex. Vaguely, it could be seen that something terrifying was about to rush out. However, because the vortex was not big enough, it could not appear in a short period of time.
Around ten breaths later, the whirlpool finally expanded to a certain size. Then, two terrifying figures radiating boundless baleful auras charged out one after another. They were the two peak fifth level demons that had pursued Chen Zong.
However, although ten breaths did not seem long, Chen Zong's speed had surpassed his previous limit. He had already flown far, far away.
Chase!
The two peak fifth level demons chased after him madly. They had to catch up no matter what and take back the treasure. It was related to their own transformation and improvement.
Chen Zong did not hesitate at all. He quickly rushed towards the exit of the Ominous Demon Secret Territory. The contribution points he had obtained were enough to pass this test. In fact, he had even exceeded it by a lot.
However, the sense of danger behind him had not disappeared. This meant that the two peak fifth level demons were still chasing after him. They were not out of danger yet.
Fortunately, his speed had surpassed his own limit. He had surpassed the limit of the fourth level. Now that he had the speed of the fifth level, he should be able to escape.
After swallowing that dot of clear light, the essence, Qi, and Spirit that he had used to perform the Finger Pointing Air Technique recovered at an astonishing speed. There was even a feeling that they had been refined to become even purer.
It was as fast as lightning, like an aurora. This kind of extreme speed was too wonderful, and Chen Zong was deeply fascinated by it.
Unfortunately, he could not continue like this. After a while, the light that kept gushing out of the vortex gradually receded. Chen Zong's speed began to decrease.
Fortunately, at this moment, Chen Zong was quite far away from the two top Fifth Level ferocious demons, and he was also very close to the exit of the Ferocious Demon Mystic Realm.
What surprised Chen Zong was that he didn't meet any other examinees along the way.
The exit of the mystic realm was right in front of them.
Chen Zong's figure was like a meteor that streaked across the sky. It was dazzling and resplendent.
In an instant, they rushed into the vortex, and two extremely terrifying attacks followed. Carrying an incomparably terrifying power, they directly bombarded the exit of the vortex. In an instant, a burst of light lit up, and the direction of rotation of the vortex was actually opposite. As it rotated, it directly reflected the two attacks.
The speed of the two attacks was twice as fast as before. The two furious peak fifth level vicious beasts simply couldn't dodge in time and were hit. The two attacks were unleashed by the vicious beasts with their full strength. Their attacks were rebounded at an even faster speed, and their might was even more terrifying.
Direct bombardment!
Two top-notch fifth-tier ferocious demons had actually died under his own attacks. It would be a joke if word got out.
…
After rushing out of the exit of the vortex, Chen Zong received many gazes.
Chen Zong found that all the examinees had come out. No, not all of them. Originally, there were more than three hundred examinees, but now there were less than three hundred present.
Seeing Chen Zong come out, Elder He Lu nodded to himself. It was because today was the last day of the examination. If Chen Zong didn't come out today, he would have failed the examination regardless of whether he was still alive or not.
Time passed slowly. Finally, the day was over.
"There were three hundred and thirty-two examinees, and two hundred and seventy of them came back within the time limit." Elder He Lu said word by word, "The remaining sixty-two examinees might still be in the Ferocious Demon Secret Realm, or they might have already died."
In any case, the remaining examinees had all been eliminated. As for whether they were still alive or not, it was another matter.
Even if they were still alive, Tianguang Peak couldn't enter the Ferocious Demon Secret Realm to look for them. After all, the Ferocious Demon Secret Realm was too big.
"Now, those who have obtained one thousand contribution points, come out." As Elder He Lu's voice faded away, this was the critical moment.
In the Ferocious Demon Secret Realm, only those who had obtained one thousand contribution points could pass the examination. This couldn't be faked, because the examinees could directly verify whether they had obtained one thousand contribution points or not.
Moreover, if they lied and were found out, the consequences would be severe. They would be expelled from Taihao Mountain, let alone advance to the next level.
Out of the two hundred examinees, only eighteen of them came out, including Chen Zong.
The probability of passing was really too low.
Out of the three hundred examinees, only eighteen of them had reached the standard of the examination.
Out of the eighteen examinees, fifteen of them had obtained exactly one thousand contribution points, or at most a few points more. One of them had obtained one thousand and one hundred points, which surprised the others.
But then, another examinee's contribution points had reached one thousand and two hundred points, which was much more than that. The others were even more surprised.
"First place is mine." The sword disciple Liu Guang, who had obtained one thousand and two hundred contribution points, was secretly delighted.
The first place would receive an additional reward. Although he didn't know what the reward was, he was sure it wouldn't be bad.
"Chen Zong obtained two thousand and three hundred contribution points." Elder He Lu's voice was full of shock.
Liu Guang, who thought he could get first place, thought he was hallucinating.
Two thousand and three hundred contribution points?
"That's impossible!" Liu Guang yelled in shock.
Indeed, it was impossible no matter how he thought about it. How could one obtain two thousand and three hundred contribution points in the Ferocious Demon Secret Realm in just one month?
"It's absolutely impossible for him to kill two thousand and three hundred fourth-level Ferocious Demons in one month." Liu Guang continued, his tone becoming more and more certain. It should be noted that his cultivation level was in the supreme state of the fourth level, and his strength had been raised to the peak of the fourth level. Even so, it was impossible for him to do it.
He firmly believed that no one could do it.
Elder He Lu and the others also stared at Chen Zong, waiting to see what Chen Zong would say. In fact, Elder He Lu also didn't believe that Chen Zong could kill two thousand fourth-level Ferocious Demons in just one month.
Fourth level Ferocious Demons weren't cabbages that could be easily killed.
"I really didn't kill that many fourth-level Ferocious Demons." Chen Zong said honestly.
"You cheated." Liu Guang felt that he had caught Chen Zong's weakness. He pointed at Chen Zong and yelled. First place, the first place should be his. How could it be given to someone else? Moreover, it was impossible to obtain two thousand contribution points.
Elder He Lu didn't say anything. Instead, he stared at Chen Zong, waiting to see what Chen Zong would say and give a reasonable explanation.
"My luck wasn't bad. I coincidentally encountered an internal conflict among the fifth-level Ferocious Demons and took advantage of the situation." Chen Zong said casually.
This explanation sounded like a fantasy, as if it was a dream.
Encountering a group of fifth-level Ferocious Demons and then taking advantage of the situation. No matter how one looked at it, it didn't sound plausible. However, other than this explanation, there was no other explanation.
All in all, Chen Zong did indeed obtain two thousand three hundred contribution points in this assessment. This was the truth. As for how he obtained it, perhaps Chen Zong was telling the truth, but there was also a possibility that he was lying.
However, during the assessment, one wasn't allowed to use pills or other external forces. Once used, it would be detected as a failure on the spot. Chen Zong didn't do that.
Either Chen Zong was telling the truth and took advantage of the situation, or Chen Zong had some amazing method of cheating that wasn't detected. No matter which it was, everyone had to admit that Chen Zong did obtain two thousand three hundred contribution points and was ranked first.
"I hereby announce that the first place of this assessment is Chen Zong." Elder He Lu made a prompt decision and announced it without hesitation. Once announced, it would be an established fact.
Liu Guang's face immediately turned gloomy.
Chen Zong, on the other hand, was somewhat happy. From now on, he would be a participating disciple of Tianguang Peak. He would be treated better and have a higher status. Moreover, he also received an additional reward for being the first place. It was very good.
So, what was the reward?
Those who didn't pass the assessment left dejectedly. Most of those who passed the assessment were in a good mood because their status would be different in the future.
The most dejected person was Liu Guang. He thought he would be the first place, but in the end, he was the second. Second place sounded good, but there was no additional reward.
Everyone else left except for Chen Zong, who was asked to stay by Elder He Lu.
"The reward for being the first place is to choose a treasure of your choice." Elder He Lu said. With a wave of his hand, ten light balls suddenly appeared in front of Chen Zong. "The treasures inside are all different. It's up to you to choose what you want."
Chen Zong's eyes slowly swept over them. He carefully sensed the auras of the ten balls of light. However, he was unable to sense anything because the ten balls of light were the same size, color, and auras. It was impossible to distinguish them.
It really depended on luck.
Since that was the case, there was no need to think too much. Chen Zong directly reached out to grab the light ball closest to him. Since it was the closest to him, it meant they were destined to meet.
In an instant, the light ball was in his hand.
Elder He Lu waved his hand and collected the other light balls. These were all to be handed over. At the moment, they were only temporarily given to him as a reward.
The light ball shattered, revealing the so-called treasure inside. It was a command medallion with a sword-shaped mark on it.
Chen Zong was puzzled.
"Oh, it's this." Elder He Lu seemed a little surprised. "You are very lucky. This is the command medallion of the Sword Sutra Tower. With this command medallion, you can choose any method, unique method, or secret method in the Sword Sutra Tower, as long as it is available in the Sword Sutra Tower."
Hearing this, Chen Zong couldn't help but show a touch of joy.
"Thank you, Elder." Saying this, Chen Zong saluted with the sword and left, quickly heading to the Sword Sutra Tower.
