Join the ServerA strange, almost eerie silence suddenly fell over the training ground. Every eye was fixed intently on the silver-glowing demon core clutched in Xiao Yun’s hand, so still that even their breathing was distinctly audible.
“F-five… five Silver-tier demon cores, and eight Bronze-tier demon cores…” The recording instructor’s voice, usually steady, trembled perceptibly.
The entire training ground instantly erupted into a cacophony of disbelief.
“Are you kidding me?! Our team couldn’t even hunt down one Bronze-tier beast in three days!” Students exchanged bewildered glances, utterly unable to trust their ears or their eyes.
Five Silver-tier magic beasts! Even a prodigious talent like Chixiao had only managed to hunt three. What kind of monstrous being was this Xiao Yun?
“Five Silver-tier beasts in five days? An ordinary person couldn’t achieve that even if they went without sleep!” another exclaimed. “He’s practically a monster!”
Just then, Liu Yuxuan, with a sudden burst of energy, leaped onto a long bench, his voice cutting through the din as he shouted at the top of his lungs:
“Wait! Everyone, let’s do the math! There were only ten Silver-tier magic beasts in total. Chixiao took three, I got one, and Xiao Yun has five… So Chief Su and Brother Xingchen’s team must have…”
He deliberately drew out the last word, ensuring every gaze in the training ground was fixed upon him.
The simple arithmetic problem dawned on everyone in an instant: Su Liyue’s team could, at most, only have one Silver-tier demon core left!
A collective gasp, like a sudden gust of wind, swept through the training ground.
This revelation was utterly staggering. Could the coveted position of third-year Chief truly be changing hands here today?
“A Gold-tier magic beast would require at least four top-tier teams to take down,” someone mused aloud.
“But looking at the current situation… Xiao Yun clearly didn’t cooperate with Su Liyue’s team, and Chixiao probably didn’t either…”
The conclusion was starkly evident: a Gold-tier magic beast was simply unbeatable by any single participant or small group.
Given this undeniable reality, Xiao Yun’s remarkable score of 330 points had, in all likelihood, already secured him the top spot in this practical training exercise!
As the crowd buzzed with speculation, Zhao Yan and Lin Mo abruptly blanched, a synchronous shiver running down their spines. They locked eyes, each recognizing the undisguised horror reflected in the other’s gaze.
They had witnessed it firsthand! When they had been trapped by Mu Wanqing’s ‘Thousand-Mile Ice Seal’, they had distinctly seen Ye Xingchen casually toying with a dazzling, golden Gold-tier demon core!
“Wait…” Zhao Yan’s voice was a mere whisper. “If they could even take down a Gold-tier…” A horrifying truth began to dawn on him.
Cold sweat beaded on Lin Mo’s forehead. ‘Then Silver-tier beasts would be nothing to them…’
This terrifying deduction caused both men to freeze, rooted to the spot.
Indeed, given the formidable strength of Su Liyue and Mu Wanqing, hunting Silver-tier magic beasts would be no challenge whatsoever.
Yet, if they had indeed disregarded the Silver-tier beasts, then only one possibility remained: from the very outset, their sights had been set on the Gold-tier magic beast—the one that instilled dread in every other student!
Dean Yu Qinglan stroked his long beard, a knowing glint flickering in his eyes as he spoke:
“While Xiao Yun has not yet summoned a powerful familiar, this achievement is truly astonishing. Five Silver-tier and eight Bronze-tier demon cores, totaling 330 points, is indeed a rare feat…
However… the final results can only be determined once all teams have arrived.”
Just then, from the distant reaches of the forest, a crisp, melodic chime of bells suddenly drifted through the air.
Everyone turned their gaze towards the sound, spotting three figures slowly emerging from the dense forest. The leading girl, cloaked in a magic robe, had silver bells tied to her waist that jingled melodically with every graceful step.
“Could it be!?” someone gasped, a tremor in their voice.
Even more astonishingly, the girl trailing behind her was unmistakably dragging a massive beast-hide sack, which bulged mysteriously with unknown contents.
The last boy, meanwhile, ambled along, a wooden staff slung casually over his shoulder, resembling nothing so much as the legendary Sha Wujing carrying his burdens. Dangling from the staff were several sparkling objects…
As the onlookers remained captivated in their daze, the leading magic-wielding girl suddenly tapped her staff lightly.
Her toes traced an elegant arc in the air, and she advanced, treading on nothing, like a celestial immortal descending from the heavens.
With a graceful flick of her slender hand, a demon core, shimmering with an unmistakable golden halo, was presented before the recording instructor.
Buzz! The entire training ground instantly erupted into a frenzy!
“G-Gold-tier demon core?!” a voice shrieked, laced with utter disbelief.
“My heavens! Are we even from the same world as them…?”
Liu Yuxuan practically bounced off the bench, his famed ’24K titanium alloy dog eyes’ gaping wide in utter shock:
“This… this is a freaking golden legend?!”
