Sixty-five million three hundred and seventy-five thousand and fifty-four hundred and thirty merits.
It finally stopped increasing.
Guanghan Field was now ranked the third in Saints Merits Battle, being topped by Great Devil Ten Square Field and Eight Bu Field only.
All the half saints from Shatuo Seven Fields were astounded Zhang Ruochen obtained more than thirty-six million merits by himself only.
But after a second thought, they found it understandable.
Zhang Ruochen killed many saints from Blade Hell Field and Purple Mansion Field and seized all the Luosha blood and fragmented souls they had.
Besides, Zhang Ruochen was collecting bodies when the three fields were fighting Luosha race, by which he collected a large amount of Luosha blood and fragmented souls as well.
“Most of the merits should’ve belonged to Purple Mansion Field. That Zhang Ruochen deserves to die.”
All the half saints from Purple Mansion Field were furious.
Purple Mansion Field didn’t just have their merits seized, their rank dropped because of that too.
As for the creatures from Guanghan Field, they were bustling and all talking about Zhang Ruochen. They couldn’t admire him more, and some of the most exhilarated monks even groveled.”
“Our priest managed to fight off so many enemies all by himself. He’s my idol form now on.”
The supreme saints on Moon God Mountain all smiled as they now realized Moon God was shrewd and visionary enough to pick Zhang Ruochen.
“As long as Zhang Ruochen can guard the Merits Records Wall well, Guanghan Field can probably get the first place in Saints Merits Battle.” Supreme Saint Manjian smiled.
The first place in Saints Merits Battle.
Even supreme saints were moved by that.
Some other supreme saints were cautious about it. After all, there were way too many saints from all the seven fields combined, so they reckoned Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to guard the Merits Records Wall, and that Zhang Ruochen might get killed.
Merits Star, on the shore of Heavenly River.
Aside from Merits Records and Merits Ranking, there were some individual rankings as well, like the ranking of saints’ merits.
Zhang Ruochen’s name suddenly showed up on ‘Saints Merits Rank’, followed by a number.
Only saints who earned more than ten million merits could enter ‘Saints Merits Rank’.
Zhang Ruochen now had more than thirty million merits, making him the twenty-first on ‘Saints Merits Rank’.
Which was a huge glory!
In the past, Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine was the only saint from Shatuo Seven Fields who entered ‘Saints Merits Rank’, and she was ranked behind one thousandth place.
The greatest talents from Heaven World were thrilled seeing Zhang Ruochen enter ‘Saints Merits Rank’. Even the large fields who were ranked high noticed this rising star.
Being ranked twenty-first on ‘Saints Merits Rank’ already said a lot about Zhang Ruochen’s power, and scheming against Princess Luosha made him all the more precious.
Originally, many monks thought that the saints from Shatuo Seven Fields would be annihilated, but now, they had a trace of hope seeing Zhang Ruochen rise.
…
The light from Merits Records Wall spread so far that many saints in the distance were able to see that, so they rushed toward it as quickly as possible.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the data on Merits Record Wall and sighed, “Great Devil Ten Square Wall is so mighty. One hundred and fifty million merits. It’s beyond difficult for Guanghan Field to get the first place in Saints Merits Battle.”
Sensing some saints approaching him, Zhang Ruochen immediately put back Merits Records Wall and escaped this area.
Zhang Ruochen hid inside an ancient maple tree, triggered the power of Buddhist beads to cover his forces.
“The saints from the seven fields are all crazy. I’d better hide for a while before going out to collect merit again.”
Zhang Ruochen took out Monument Shield, put his fingers on the space crystal and entered the inner area of the space crystal.
And then, Zhang Ruochen took out bottles of Nine True Saint Dew, swallowed it and started to refine saintly way rules.
Zhang Ruochen had left when Princess Luosha got to the forest, and there were only empty bottles left.
“Damn bastard. Seems like I need to use the trace of power I left in his mind power saint soul.”
Princess Luosha formed an old mark with her fingers, and circular halos showed up. The crimson threads then flew into the circular halo and in the forest.
After a short while, those crimson threads flew back.
“He noticed that trace of power and refined it?”
Princess Luosha was a bit dismayed, then she smiled, “Interesting. Heaven World has finally cultivated a great talent who’s strong enough to rival me.”
The ground in front of Princess Luosha suddenly cracked, and black sha Qi gushed out from the underground, shaking all the ancient maple trees around it. And then, the leaves all withered and fell from the trees.
Lord Lingquan who was wearing a black lightning armor walked out from the underground. The black sha Qi came out of his body.
“Let me help you, your highness. I’ll lead the Luosha armies to annihilate all the saints from the seven large fields.”
Lord Lingquan bowed at Princess Luosha.
Princess Luosha was a bit irritated by Lord Lingquan.
Zhang Ruochen was indeed a huge problem for her to deal with, but he was at least a handsome and attractive guy. As for the males from Luosha race, they all looked hideous. Even though Lord Lingquan was considered a good-looking male in Luosha race, he was still below average to Princess Luosha.
Princess Luosha looked to another side and said, “We haven’t encircled everyone yet. It might be too early to make the final move.”
Lord Lingquan thought for a bit and asked, “Where is that human kid?”
“That’s my concern, not yours,” Princess Luosha said.
Lord Lingquan looked gloomy. He said, “Don’t be tempted by his face, your highness. You can’t count on human men.”
Princess Luosha glared at Lord Lingquan and said, “Are you trying to teach me how to do business?”
“Of course not.”
Princess Luosha sneered and said, “Now that you’re here, I’m going to ask you to do something for me. There’s a Confucius monk from Kunlun’s Field who has Saint Book Ruzu. Capture her and bring her to me.”
“Rest assured, your highness. A Confucius monk is nothing to me.”
Lord Lingquan smiled and took a look at Princess Luosha. Seeing how apathetic she was, he chose not to say anything before leaving.
Princess Luosha took a deep breath and rolled her eyes.
…
Zhang Ruochen spent half a month refining in the space crystal and successfully refined thousands of drops of Nine True Saint Dew, and Zhang Ruochen was almost at the upper stage of true saints now.
He then spent another month refining more than ten thousand drops of Nine True Saint Dew, making to the pinnacle level of a true saint.
The saintly way rules in Heaven Pass River became solid like iron threads. Zhang Ruochen could hear the deafening thunder sound by barely mobilizing his saintly way rules.
Both Mu Lingxi and Qing Mo were awakened by the sound coming out of Zhang Ruochen, and they both looked at him in surprise.
“Have you become an absolute saint already?” Mu Lingxi asked.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Pinnacle true saint.”
“Only pinnacle true saint?”
Qing Mo stuck her tongue out as she found Zhang Ruochen unbelievably strong. The forces coming out of him could rival those of a saint king.
Qing Mo was also a pinnacle true saint with good body constitution and the inheritance of a God, however, she was still way inferior to Zhang Ruochen.
With Ning True Saint Dew, Qing Mo and Mu Lingxi’s cultivation surged. Mu Lingxi was now an elementary true saint.
Zhang Ruochen checked the time, and there was only one month left until the end of Saints Merits Battle. He had to walk out of the time and space crystal to conquer and kill.
Zhang Ruochen wanted to keep refining so that he could become an absolute saint.
However, he came to Zuling Field not to refine, but to collect merits.
There was a long way to go until Guanghan Field could make it to the top of Saints Merits Rank.
“I’ll go collect merits as well,” Qing Mo said.
“Okay.”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep look at her, and he found that she was very perseverant, so he didn’t try and stop her.
Qing Mo looked like a frail and timid girl, but sometimes, she could be very stubborn.
Zhang Ruochen then turned to Mu Lingxi, “Lingxi, I reckon you stay here to improve your cultivation first. I’ll come for you again when we’re heading to Phoenix Nest.”
“Sure thing.”
Mu Lingxi knew that she couldn’t help Zhang Ruochen at all at the moment. Actually, she was under lots of pressure. After all, the huger the power gap between them, the less they could do together.
She must improve herself to catch up with Zhang Ruochen.
The inheritance of Ice and Fire Phoenix was a great chance for her, and she needed to seize this opportunity no matter what.
Just as they walked out of the time crystal, Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo could feel great evil sha Qi outside.
Lots of Luosha marquises were gathering in the forest.
They heard a deep voice, “Useless. You’re all useless. You can’t even capture a Confucius monk? You all useless.”
“Lord Fengxing, we’ve tried everything, but there’re a couple of prominent beings following that Confucius monk, and her Saint Book Ruzu can suppress our evil sha Qi. We’re at a huge disadvantage fighting them.”
