My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

As soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, to the astonishment of the indigenous cultivators, the bodies and souls of the numerous mercenaries employed by the Immortal Wood Group transformed into streams of light and soared into the sky.

It was as if I was being guided by celestial light to the world of immortals.

Watching Gu Qing's disappearing figure, Tian Yu murmured to himself:

"My master is from the celestial realm!"

"After slaying the monsters of this realm, I, Tian, ​​will surely ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"Following in my master's footsteps..."

at the same time.

Throughout the Demon Mist Dimension, streaks of light shot into the sky from all corners of the world.

Compared to a month ago.

Compared to the streams of light that descended upon this world a month ago, the number of streams of light rising into the sky now is at least 50% less.

……

Xianmu Group.

Inside the Trial Hall, streaks of light passed through the void gate and coalesced into forms within the hall.

soon.

Various noises filled the main hall.

All the mercenaries formed small circles and groups based on their own strength.

some of,

The area around Zhong Jiufan was the most lively.

As the top performer in the previous trial, he has gathered a large number of mercenaries around him.

Many of them are still Class A mercenaries at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Boss Zhong, you single-handedly killed three Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts during this trial."

"You'll definitely be number one in the second mercenary trial."

In my opinion...

"By the time of the third mercenary trial, the gap between you and the others will only widen."

"At that time, Boss Zhong will probably be promoted directly to squad leader!"

The mercenaries who arrived in the same city as Zhong Jiufan had all witnessed his skills, and they all flattered him.

As the news spread, all the other mercenaries who participated in the trial stared at Zhong Jiufan in shock.

Zhong Jiufan heard this but did not reply.

but.

He couldn't quite hide the smugness on his face, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

A Qi Refining Realm cultivator defeats a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast and even kills three of them?

Jia Meiqian's expression also changed.

Zhong Jiufan actually killed three Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts. This is troublesome. I wonder who will win first place?

Jia Meiqian's gaze couldn't help but dart back and forth between Gu Qing and Zhong Jiufan.

"Welcome back, newbies."

Just as everyone was discussing the second trial, the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator who had been guiding them came to the front of the trial hall once again.

The Foundation Establishment sword cultivator glanced at everyone, lingering for a moment on Zhong Jiufan, Chen Ang, Gu Qing, and others.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Your strength has increased dramatically, and you are expected to become official mercenaries for the group."

"but……"

"The strong will always be strong."

"The best reward for the second trial will still be prepared for the top ten mercenaries."

"Next..."

After a pause, the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator looked at everyone, and seeing that all eyes were on him, he smiled:

"Yes, the rules remain the same!"

"The Void Gate will calculate your trial points and assess your potential to explore the Void World."

With a wave of his hand, the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator caused a light screen to illuminate in front of the trial hall.

slam-la-

Massive amounts of data flowed across the light screen, tallying everyone's trial scores.

The rules for the second mercenary trial are simple: points are calculated based on kills, and the tallying speed is actually much faster than the first mercenary trial.

The data are listed in order from lowest to highest as follows: Gui, Ren, Xin, Geng, Ji, Wu, Ding, Bing, Yi, Jia.

All ordinary mercenaries are below level ten.

soon.

The light screen in front of the Trial Hall began announcing the top ten rankings of this trial.

The light screen trembled slightly.

The names below the top ten shattered on the screen and disappeared from the light screen.

Followed by.

The light screen began to display the top ten rankings of this trial.

Tenth place, Longtan High School, Xiao Chen, with a total score of 10342.

"He's a newcomer?"

"Xiao Chen wasn't among the top ten rookies last time."

"Over ten thousand points... Could this person have killed a Foundation Establishment realm demon beast?"

The appearance of a newcomer quickly attracted everyone's attention, but then quieted down again.

The reason is simple: the Void Gate displays the rankings in sequence.

Ninth place, Jinqian High School, Jia Meiqian, with a total score of 10823 points.

Eighth place, Tarot High School, Zhou Xin, with a total score of 11035.

……

The top ten rankings made everyone hold their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.

Then, in order, are Xiang Ritian, Deng Shu, Chen Shangmei, and Qin Jue.

At last.

Only the rankings for the champion, runner-up, and third place have not yet been released.

All the mercenaries present focused their attention on the last three people.

Zhong Jiufan, Chen Ang, Gu Qing.

Who will be number one?

Just as everyone was speculating, new information appeared again on the light screen that appeared through the Void Gate.

Third place: Chen Ang from Yaota High School, with a total score of 103254.

"hiss……"

"At the 100,000 points level, could it be that Chen Ang also killed three Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts?"

"That's not right!"

"If Chen Ang also killed three Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts, why would he be ranked third?"

"It should at least be second place!!"

"It can't be that he's even worse than Gu Qing, right?"

Inside the Trial Hall, many mercenaries had already advanced their cultivation to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

therefore.

These people all discovered that Gu Qing's spiritual power cultivation was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

With such cultivation level, how could his points be higher than Chen Ang's?

This is unreasonable.

however.

Just as everyone was discussing this, the light screen in front of the trial hall once again showed the second place.

Second place: Zhong Jiufan, Black Prison Soul Refining High School, with a total score of 121276.

"Well!!"

Looking at the numbers on the screen, everyone felt that something was wrong with this world.

Zhong Jiufan actually ranked second?

The first place, isn't it Gu Qing, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm?

Are we crazy, or is there something wrong with the world?

Zhong Jiufan, who had thought he had secured first place, looked extremely grim. Chen Ang's recent comeback, killing three Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts as well, had given him a shock.

Now, I've actually ranked second.

This isn't a question of whether I'm surprised or not; it's like being hit in the face with a brick.

no……

With your cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, what makes you think you can defeat me?

Zhong Jiufan stared intently at Gu Qing.

The entire trial hall was almost completely silent.

No one dared to speak.

Firstly, the other mercenaries were afraid of offending Zhong Jiufan and Chen Ang.

Secondly, they couldn't understand why Gu Qing would become the number one among the top ten.

Just as everyone was racking their brains trying to figure it out, the light screen in front of the main hall finally displayed Gu Qing's results.

First place: Gu Qing, Songyang Yucai High School, with a total score of 236532.

"This...this..."

"More than double that of the third-place team."

"They have 110,000 more points than the second-place team."

"A precipitous lead!!"

"Gu Qingcai is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Even if he can kill Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts, how many Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts would he need to kill to earn 230,000 mission points?"

"With only two full moon nights, how could there have been time to kill so many Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts?"

"yes!!"

"This is impossible. Could there be a problem with the Void Gate's statistics?"

Listening to the discussions and suspicions of the other mercenaries around them, Chen Ang and Zhong Jiufan both looked extremely grim.

The top ten rankings affect the trial rewards; a difference of one place can mean a world of difference.

After a while.

Extremely unwilling, Zhong Jiufan stepped forward and said to the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator who was guiding the group, "Senior, Gu Qing's mission points are very unreasonable. I request to check his trial record."

"oh?!"

Gu Qing stood in the crowd, and seeing this scene, he remained unfazed.

Hey bro, you want your license checked?
