"Cough cough!"
Peng Zhen coughed heavily and struggled to get up, but he did not have any strength left. In front of Gu Xuan, he did not even have the strength to retaliate and could only be mercilessly trampled on.
"I hope you can deliver one thousand Condensing Fire Pills to me within a month." Gu Xuan looked at Peng Zhen and said flatly.
Gu Xuan knew what kind of pitiful state Peng Zhen would end up in with these thousand Fire Condensing Pills. However, Peng Zhen had provoked him in every possible way, so he deserved it. Gu Xuan never had the slightest bit of pity for his enemies.
"Junior brother Gu, aren't you being too …" Yang Yu's face revealed some hesitation. After all, Peng Zhen was a top genius nurtured by the sect and had complicated relationships within the Fortune Palace. Gu Xuan had caused Peng Zhen to lose one thousand Condensing Fire Pills in one go. This was not a small problem.
"It's nothing, he asked for it." Gu Xuan shook his head.
"Oh right, I should have completed the third assessment." Gu Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the third stone pillar.
Gu Xuan came here to raise his ranking and obtain Condensing Fire Pills. Although he had obtained some extra income, he could not forget about this matter.
This was probably the only time that an idiot like Peng Zhen would give him elixirs. If he wanted to raise his cultivation level, he would have to rely on the Fortune Roll.
"Junior brother Gu, the third assessment requires you to go to the Flame Beast Mountain Range. Enter the third stone pillar and receive a Demon Slaying Plate. Go directly to the Flame Beast Mountain Range and kill Flame Beasts for half a day. Your assessment will be based on the number of Flame Beasts you kill."
Yang Yu said.
"Alright." Gu Xuan nodded and entered the third stone pillar and took out a Demon Slaying Plate.
Previously, Gu Xuan had used this Demon Slaying Plate to complete the assessment given to him by Ying Tian Academy. However, the Demon Slaying Plate this time was of a higher grade than the previous one.
"Let's go."
Gu Xuan leaped and rushed out of Ying Tian Sect. The Elder of Imparting Skills had forbidden Gu Xuan from leaving Ying Tian Sect. However, as long as Gu Xuan was near Ying Tian Sect, the Elder of Imparting Skills would turn a blind eye.
Moreover, Gu Xuan did not have much time to waste in the assessment of the Fortune Palace. Hence, he could only act immediately.
Half a day later, Gu Xuan returned. A frightening number had appeared on the third stone pillar.
97!
Although this number was not as shocking as Gu Xuan's second test, killing a Flame Beast was inseparable from one's realm. A Peak Venerable Level Flame Beast could only get one point, a One-Star King Level Flame Beast could get three points, a Two-Star King Level Flame Beast could get ten points, a Three-Star King Level Flame Beast could get thirty points, and so on.
With Gu Xuan's strength, it was impossible for him to defeat a King Level Martial Artist, so he could only kill Peak Venerable Level Flame Beasts. In just half a day, Gu Xuan had killed a total of ninety-seven Peak Venerable Level Flame Beasts!
This was already terrifying. A two or three-star King Grade martial artist might be able to achieve this score, but they would have to kill a King Grade Flame Beast to achieve this.
Killing a Peak Venerable? Thirty or forty of them would be considered not bad.
The reason why Gu Xuan could do this was naturally because of the help of Yun Xi's flames. He could easily find the location of the Flame Beasts and slaughter them.
On the Creation Roll at the back, Gu Xuan's ranking soared all the way and finally stabilized at the 15th place.
Among the many geniuses in the Palace of Fortune, Xue Ling had the highest ranking for the first time. Her cultivation level was higher than Gu Xuan's, but she was only at the 17th place. Gu Xuan was only a six-star Venerable, but he had already rushed to the 15th place, breaking the record.
Gu Xuan also received more than seven hundred Flame Condensing Pills as a reward. Gu Xuan left calmly, but the onlookers were already sighing. They did not expect to witness the rise of such a legend on the first day they welcomed a newcomer.
Gu Xuan was only at the six-star Venerable Level. If he was promoted to the Peak Venerable Level, how terrifying would it be?
"Now that I have more than seven hundred Flame Condensing Pills, and Peng Zhen has more than a thousand Flame Condensing Pills, I have to raise my ranking again this month."
Gu Xuan sighed in his heart. After the Ice Soul Cold Flame had been promoted to the Supreme Flame, the situation was indeed much better than before. However, the amount of Flame Condensing Pills required was still massive. Every time he broke through to the next cultivation level, the amount would more than double.
If Gu Xuan wanted to break through to the seven-star Venerable Level, he would need at least two thousand and five hundred Flame Condensing Pills. At the very least, he would have to raise his ranking to the top ten.
In the following days, Gu Xuan became bored again. Apart from his daily cultivation, he would go to the Palace of Fortune to take the test. Every time, there would be a slight increase in his ranking.
Gu Xuan was not prepared to continue displaying his martial arts understanding. Instead, he began to kill the Flame Beasts in a frenzy. Although Gu Xuan had borrowed Yun Xi's strength previously, he had not used the black metal piece. Now that he had used the black metal piece, he could directly slaughter an ordinary King Level Flame Beast!
A month later, Gu Xuan had raised his cultivation level to the Peak of the six-star Venerable Level. However, his ranking had finally entered the top ten, reaching the ninth place! Because of the reward, the number of Flame Condensing Pills on him had also reached one thousand and six hundred.
Some of Gu Xuan's achievements had also caused a commotion in the Ying Tian Sect, spreading out like a storm.
As a six-star Venerable Level, he had joined the Palace of Fortune and defeated Peng Zhen, who was two stars higher than him. After that, he quickly reached the ninth place on the Fortune Board. Moreover, his results in the three tests were getting higher and higher. It was simply unbelievable.
Gu Xuan's fame had completely surpassed Yang Yu's, becoming the number one genius in the sect.
Regarding this situation, Yang Yu had long been unperturbed. When Gu Xuan had quickly broken through to the two-star Venerable Level, he had felt that Gu Xuan's talent was above his. It was only a matter of time before Gu Xuan surpassed him.
However, his title as the number one genius in the Ying Tian Sect did not live up to its name. In the sect, there were still three geniuses who were not inferior to him. Now that Gu Xuan had taken the title, he had left the heart of the struggle. This was not a good thing.
When Jiang Zhaoyang heard that Gu Xuan's fame had risen, his heart became gloomier. He had already made a move against Gu Xuan, forming a grudge. The more talented Gu Xuan was, the greater the threat he posed to him.
However, Gu Xuan was in the Ying Tian Sect and there was nothing he could do about it. He could only pray that Gu Xuan would leave the Ying Tian Sect once again and give him a chance. Otherwise, when a genius like Gu Xuan grew up, it would not be a joke.
Normally, Gu Xuan would cultivate in his new residence. As for those who wanted to rope him in, he would not meet them.
"Junior Brother Gu Xuan."
Gu Xuan was cultivating when he heard a shout from outside. He looked down and saw that it was Peng Zhen who had come over. Together with her, there was a white-robed lady.
