From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 107 Taking
Jiang Chen walked out of the Hall of Merit.

I was thinking about how to bring back some merits.

"By the way, I have now achieved a breakthrough to the Iron Bone Mastery level. I can now go to the Intermediate School to earn merit."

He counted the days.

The class should start tomorrow afternoon.

"Let's go check it out tomorrow..."

……

The afternoon of the second day.

An intermediate school located in a corner of the Dragon and Tiger Sect’s inner city base.

Since the inner disciples took turns to garrison at the outer city walls, half of them remained in the garrison.

There were quite a few people inside the school at this time.

Many inner disciples with strong bones gathered in this intermediate school, listening to the lectures of the elders on the stage.

However, at the moment, their minds were not on the lecture, but were looking at each other agitatedly, their eyes full of fear and vigilance.

In fact, the reason they came to this school this time was for the four hundred merits.

Now that Yanyang City is in turmoil, the inner disciples have to go to the outer city walls to garrison, where they may encounter demons at any time.

And the merits that can be exchanged for various life-saving items naturally become extremely important.

The inner disciples who had previously not fought for anything now began to pay attention to all the places in the base where they could gain merit.

This naturally includes schools.

The intermediate school has 400 merits every ten days, which are rewarded to the strongest disciples!

Now that they have come to this school, naturally they all want to compete for the title of "the strongest"!

……

Jiang Chen sat in the corner of the classroom, looking somewhat inconspicuous.

"Tsk tsk, it seems the competition is quite fierce..."

He looked around at the group of strong inner disciples for a while, then retracted his gaze and waited quietly for the class to end.

The lecturer of the intermediate school seemed to see the anxiety in the hearts of the disciples below the stage.

After finishing the course slowly, he looked around at everyone present and said:
"Well, let's stop here today. Who wants the 400 merits of the school today?"

The entire school fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on the elder on the podium.

But they all kept their mouths shut, and no one spoke.

Although they want these four hundred merits.

But everyone else is a competitor, and there is no benefit in showing up too quickly.

It’s better to wait for others to fight for it first, and then you can reap the benefits!

Everyone thought so, so even though they all wanted the 400 merits very much at this moment, no one spoke.

"Ok?"

The elder saw that no one spoke, and then looked at an inner disciple in the school.

"Liu Ji, I remember that you were the one who took the 400 merits from the school last time, why don't you want it this time?"

Liu Ji in the audience smiled stiffly and said, "Elder, I'm not in a hurry yet."

"Oh, it seems no one wants it..."

At this time.

A voice suddenly came from the corner of the classroom.

"If no one wants it, then give it to me. I want it."

Jiang Chen didn't have time to waste with others, so he just stood up.

"I just happen to be lacking merit."

……

Jiang Chen's voice was clearly audible in the school.

A group of disciples with strong bones looked at him strangely.

"Who is this? I've never seen him before."

"He must be a disciple who has just reached the Iron Bone Great Accomplishment..."

"If you are so anxious, you may suffer a loss..."

……

On the other side of the school.

Bian Hong and Tao Shuang looked at Jiang Chen who stood up in the corner in some astonishment.

"Jiang Chen?"

"Is he going to join us?"

The two looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyes.

The scene of Jiang Chen fighting against a four-pattern perfect demon yesterday and killing two demons in a row is still vivid in his mind.

Bian Hong smiled bitterly:
"Well, it seems there is no hope."

……

In fact, there are still people in the school who vaguely remember Jiang Chen.

The last time he passed through eight Qi forces in the Iron Pagoda, many disciples were deeply impressed.

It was just that we were far apart at the time, and we only met from a distance.
In addition, many things have happened during this period, and their impression of Jiang Chen's face has gradually become blurred.

……

"Oh?"

The elder on the podium raised his head and looked towards Jiang Chen.

"What's your name?"

"Disciple Jiang Chen."

"Yeah, that's good, very courageous."

The elder on the platform smiled.

"The first person who wants these 400 merits has come out. Is there anyone else who wants them?"

Soon, the first inner sect disciple stood up. "I'll do it!"

Then he stood up and walked in front of Jiang Chen.

The other inner disciples around them quickly dispersed to leave enough space for the two.

"My name is Meng Dong, and your name is Jiang Chen, right? Let's have a fight, and the winner will get the honor."

"Okay, Senior Brother Meng, please teach me."

next moment.

"Oh!"

Meng Dong flew backwards.

"..."

In the school, the disciples who were planning to watch a wonderful fight were stunned for a moment.

"Is this the end?"

"What's going on? So fast!"

"Is this a great technique?"

The elder on the podium was slightly stunned.

It took him a while to react and he looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

"Is there anyone else?"

“…Let me give it a try.”

Another disciple spoke up.

However, the confidence in his words was no longer as strong as that of Meng Dong just now.

However, the fight has just begun.

"Oh!"

……

Time passes slowly.

"That's enough, let's end it, no need to continue."

The elder on the podium looked at Jiang Chen helplessly.

The other Iron-Bone Dacheng disciples looked at Jiang Chen with an expression of confusion.

Jiang Chen challenged seven Iron-Boned Great Master disciples in a row, without any hesitation, and killed them all with one strike!

How can others fight like this?
There is no need to fight!

"Ahem, um, Jiang Chen, come here, I'll give you the merit."

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded, then walked to the side of the podium and handed over his identity token.

The elder took out four hundred golden threads and gently tapped them into the identity token.

The merits in the identity token increased by four hundred.

"Thank you, elder."

Jiang Chen cupped his hands.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

The Hall of Merit closes at night. If you don’t go there early, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to buy the Soul Cleansing Liquid.

Then he left the school directly.

A group of iron-boned disciples watched Jiang Chen leave.

The discussion instantly exploded in the classroom.

……

Hall of Merit.

Jiang Chen walked quickly into the inner hall.

"Master Qian, I have enough merits. I will buy the Spirit Cleansing Liquid."

"Ah."

Qian Wenye nodded, then called a disciple, took out a bottle of soul cleansing liquid from the warehouse, and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Finally got it done.

Jiang Chen took the soul cleansing liquid, left the Hall of Merit, and returned to the courtyard where he lived.

……

In the bedroom.

The jade bottle of "Soul Cleansing Liquid" on the table is only about the size of a thumb.

"It's just this little thing, but it cost me 450 merits..."

Jiang Chen pulled out the cork and saw transparent liquid droplets inside.

Then he placed the Demon Yuan Stone on the table and carefully dripped a few drops of Spirit Cleansing Liquid onto the Demon Yuan Stone, completely covering the entire Demon Yuan Stone.

Afterwards, a strange aura on the red demon stone gradually dissipated.

After a while, the soul cleansing liquid dissipated, and the demon essence stone became pure, without any other smell.

All right.

You can try the effect of this thing.

Jiang Chen picked up a piece of demon essence stone, feeling a little bit of anticipation.

Even if I take the Bone Strengthening Pill now, I can only gain five points of experience in martial arts every day.

At this rate, it would take him another five or six months to break through to Iron Bone Perfection.

This speed is really too slow.

I hope this demon stone can be more powerful...

Jiang Chen thought to himself as he cut off one fifth of the red crystal and swallowed it.
