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

As soon as Zhong Jiufan said this, all the discussions were silenced.

Zhong Jiufan wasn't the only one with doubts.

The other mercenaries also had doubts, and they hoped that there was something wrong with Gu Qing's grades.

If Gu Qing's grades are indeed problematic, it means that the other members of the top ten can all move up one place in the rankings.

For other Class A mercenaries, another spot in the top ten has become vacant.

Their rewards will also be increased.

If it can be proven that Gu Qing lied, it will be good for everyone.

Seeing the crowd surrounding and attacking, Chen Ang also stepped forward, cupping his hands to the Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivator and saying:

"Senior, I also want to apply for a review of Gu Qing's trial results."

The Foundation Establishment stage sword cultivator watched this scene with a half-smile on his face.

He didn't doubt that the statistics for the Void Gate were problematic.

However, he was also curious about how Gu Qing had managed to do all this with a mere eighth-level Qi Refining Realm cultivation.

The Foundation Establishment sword cultivator did not immediately grant Zhong Jiufan and Chen Ang's request.

He then turned to Qin Jue, Chen Shangmei, and the other top ten mercenaries, and said calmly, "Do you also suspect that Gu Qing's results are problematic?"

"Yes."

"We implore you, senior, to investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone justice."

The other top ten mercenaries followed suit and expressed their opinions one after another.

Only Jia, who had no money, showed a look of struggle on his face.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Jiufan couldn't help but frown and say, "Jia has no money? What do you mean? You should state your opinion. Do you think Gu Qing's grades are fine?"

"this……"

Jia, who had no money, was thinking at high speed.

Carefully recalling the methods Gu Qing used in Chicheng, he not only killed two Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts, but also suppressed and killed tens of thousands of Qi Refining Realm demonic beasts in one fell swoop.

If Gu Qing has earned trial points elsewhere, then Gu Qing's trial points make sense.

With this in mind, Jia Meiqian steeled himself and sided with Gu Qing.

"Gentlemen, I think the scores are fine."

"What's wrong with the 230,000 points?"

"Your low scores are definitely due to your own shortcomings. Think carefully, have you been diligently cultivating?"

"Look for the reasons within yourself!"

They firmly sided with Gu Qing.

Jia Meiqian relentlessly unleashed a barrage of criticism, leaving Zhong Jiufan and the others red-faced with embarrassment.

"hehe……"

Upon seeing this, the Foundation Establishment stage sword cultivator couldn't help but laugh.

Even though Zhong Jiufan, Chen Ang, and the others were very unhappy, they didn't dare to cause trouble for this Foundation Establishment Sword Immortal.

He paused for a moment.

The Foundation Establishment sword cultivator turned his gaze to Gu Qing: "Gu Qing, the results compiled by the Void Gate are definitely correct. You have the right to refuse to have your results reviewed."

"However, if you want to prove yourself, you can use the Taixu Seal to communicate with the Void Gate and project some data about killing monsters during the second trial."

What's your opinion on this?

"We can show it to them, but..."

At this point, Gu Qing paused, then looked at Zhong Jiufan, Chen Ang, and the others, "I can show you, but you can't just look for free."

"So, if you want to check my grades, each of you give me one thousand spirit coins."

"Otherwise, there's no point in talking."

"you!!"

Seeing that Gu Qing had the backing of a Foundation Establishment Sword Immortal, he became unscrupulous and even extorted money from them. Zhong Jiufan was so angry that he trembled all over.

Seeing this, Jia, who had no money, stepped forward and added insult to injury:

"Don't you have any money?"

"Can't even come up with a thousand spirit coins?"

"hateful……"

When Jia said he had no money, the other top ten mercenaries immediately changed their expressions as well.

"One thousand spirit coins per person."

"Who wouldn't have that? Only a poor person like you would be so stingy with such a small amount of money."

"A total of eight thousand spirit coins, right?"

"I get 10,000 spirit coins a day as pocket money!!"

"I'll pay for it."

The entire meal was paid for by Mr. Zhong.

Earning 8,000 spirit coins for free—it's awesome!

Gu Qing smiled as she accepted the money.

Seeing the smile on Gu Qing's face, Zhong Jiufan became even more displeased and couldn't help but urge, "I've given you the money, now it's time to prove your strength."

"Sure, I'll show you right away."

Gu Qing smiled slightly, then used the Tai Xu Dharma Seal to communicate with the Void Gate and retrieve the trial records from the Demon Mist Plane.

A thought subtly stirred within me.

First, blur out the faces of the four Meng brothers to prevent their information from being revealed.

Then they cut out some key information, keeping only the footage of killing the monster.

After finishing, Gu Qing projected the edited trial record onto the light screen in front of the trial hall.

"It's finally here!!"

"I'd like to see how you managed to rack up 230,000 points."

"call……"

"Is this cheating?"

While everyone else stayed in the city, Gu Qing followed four people of unknown identity into the Earth's Core Flame Sea.

"Holy crap... a Qi Refining Realm Level 5, fighting tooth and nail against a Foundation Establishment Level 6 Hellhound, and actually winning? Was that Hellhound deliberately feeding him its kill?"

Inside the trial hall, everyone gasped and made sarcastic remarks as they watched Gu Qing battle the hellhounds.

however.

When they saw Gu Qing break through to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm and single-handedly slaughter tens of thousands of demonic beasts in Chicheng, they were speechless.

They finally understood why Gu Qing's points were so terrifying!

Tens of thousands of Qi Refining Realm demonic beasts contributed over 100,000 points.

not to mention.

Gu Qing also killed two other Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts.

After reading the trial records, Zhong Jiufan's face turned ashen, and his eyes lost focus.

What a clown!!

Even Chen Ang, who came in second, fell silent, unable to utter a single word.

Even the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator who was guiding the group had a solemn expression. He never expected that Gu Qing would be involved in the profound realm at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

When Gu Qing killed two Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts in Chicheng, an invisible gravitational field appeared when he used sand-type magic, making it impossible for the two Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beasts to move an inch, and they were eventually burned alive.

That invisible gravitational field is the profound mystery of the Dao.

Only by cultivating a certain Taoist method to its ultimate level can one possibly touch the threshold of its profound mysteries.

This child possesses extraordinary comprehension!

……

On the light screen in front of the Trial Hall, Gu Qing's trial record had finished playing.

Yet, the entire trial hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a while.

It was the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator who had been guiding everyone who was the first to react.

"Cough cough..."

With a slight cough, breaking the deathly silence, the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator continued, "Everyone, the second mercenary trial has ended. Next, we will distribute your rewards."

"The spirit coins awarded by the group have been transferred to your Taixu Dharma Seal."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing couldn't help but secretly glance at her bank balance.

One, ten, hundred, thousand...

100,000 spirit coins.

Holy crap, it smells amazing!!

In the first mercenary trial, the top ten newcomers were only awarded 1 spirit coins.

Unexpectedly, the rewards for the second trial were ten times greater.

"alright."

"The top ten mercenaries stay; the rest can go home and reunite with their families!"

The Foundation Establishment sword cultivator paused, then turned to Gu Qing and the others with a smile, saying, "Come with me. The top ten mercenaries will receive other rewards..."
