I Am Overlord Chapter 1296

Chapter 1296: Contribution Ranking

The Contribution Hall was where the contribution points of the humans who had slain devils were recorded. The hall was also the same place where humans were rewarded for their glorious exploits against the devils.

Since time immemorial, humans and devils have been unable to coexist. Humans did not want the devils to enter the dominion, while the devils were unwilling to remain only in the Devil Domain. Thus, the two races had always been hostile toward each other. Due to that, the Contribution Hall had come into existence. The hall was responsible for suppressing the devils and rewarding the humans who had helped. As for the devils, they never stopped wanting to destroy the Contribution Hall and conquer the dominion.

At this time, a large number of people were gathered before the Contribution Hall. One person after another stepped into the hall with their contribution plates to have their points recorded.

Due to the large number of participants in the Devil Hunting Expedition and the fact that the expedition had ended, a large number of people had returned to record their contributions. The contribution ranking was being refreshed again and again. So far, the person with the highest number of contribution points was someone named Di Mie.

Di Mie was of unknown origin and had obtained 230 sacred points and seven hundred billion contribution points. The sacred points were only granted to those who had managed to kill Devil Saints. With 230 sacred points, Di Mie had killed several Devil Saints.

A first-stage Devil Saint would grant someone 10 sacred points. A second-stage Devil Saint would double the points. A third-stage Devil Saint would also further double the points, earning one 40 sacred points. In that manner, killing different Devil Saints would grant one the corresponding sacred points.

Regular contribution points were nothing compared to sacred points. Without any Saints participating in the expedition, anyone with sacred points was a prodigy capable of killing Saints without being a Saint. Through his feats, Di Mie became one of the most well-known people in the expedition.

Second place was occupied by Dugu Qiubai. He had obtained 220 sacred points and eight hundred thirty billion contribution points. His achievements were comparable with Di Mie’s, but he was ranked second due to having fewer sacred points. With his Primal Chaos Physique, it was not surprising for Dugu Qiubai to obtain such results. This expedition was proof that he was rapidly growing in his path of cultivation.

Ranked third was someone named Hui Meng from the True Martial Academy. He was a disciple who had joined during the previous batch. He wasn’t well-known before, but he had achieved fame during the expedition by displaying his impressive combat strength.

Ranked fourth was a prince from the Central Region’s Immortal Dynasty named He Changsheng. He had incredible combat strength, a powerful imperial aura, and a high probability of becoming the Immortal Dynasty’s next emperor.

Ranked fifth was Nangong Wudi of the Nangong Clan, one of the eight major ancient clans. He was also known as the number one Sovereign, someone with the strength to slay Saints. 

Ranked sixth was Gong Yue’e, an expert from the Celestial Palace. She was the highest-ranked woman among the participants and was also an absolute beauty with countless admirers.

Ranked seventh was none other than Xue Buyi, the person the Overlord Legion’s Dong Haiming had told Xiang Shaoyun about. Xue Buyi was far stronger than the Eighteen Blood-Robed Warriors he led.

Surprisingly, Situ Dilin was also ranked within the top-100—at 67th place. As a seventh-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, it was quite surprising for him to occupy such a high position. Of course, the ranking might still change, but the changes wouldn’t be too big.

Thus far, not one Overlord Legion member had managed to enter the top-100 ranking. Even powerful individuals like Ouyang Chuanqi and Han Chenfei weren’t able to enter the top-100 ranking. Nor had Devil Concubine and Yu Caidie. However, their performance was still impressive, as they were ranked only slightly lower than the top-100.

After all, they were still young, and their cultivation levels were lower than some other participants. If the Devil Hunting Expedition had instead been held after several dozen years, they would have placed better in the ranking.

With Xiang Shaoyun’s appearance, the Contribution Palace bustled with noise and excitement. His name was already well-known in the Devil Domain, but few had actually seen him. Thus, his appearance attracted a lot of attention.

Looking at Xiang Shaoyun entering the hall with Devil Concubine and Yu Caidie by his sides, all the men were filled with envy, and all the women looked at him with infatuation, wishing for nothing more than to replace Devil Concubine and Yu Caidie. Whatever his strength might be, anyone who saw Xiang Shaoyun right now would feel he was an extraordinary individual.

That was understandable, as Xiang Shaoyun was no longer a youth. He had matured, possessing an extraordinary temperament unique to himself. The devil blood flowing in his veins also added a different kind of charm to him, making him fatally attractive for many women. One could say that he was attractive enough to obtain countless women with a mere wave of his hand.

“Overlord, how many contribution points do you have? Do you think you can enter the top-100?” asked Yu Caidie.

For this round of son-in-law selection, the Yu Clan would first consider the person ranked first before considering the others in the top-10. Anyone who couldn’t obtain enough points to get into the top-10 was not worth their attention.

After all, the Yu Clan’s strength was clear for all to see. In fact, they had their own members in the top-100 ranking as well. Furthermore, Yu Caidie was someone with exceptional talent in cultivation. They could afford to be picky when selecting their son-in-law.

“I don’t know. I haven’t even checked,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.

He wasn’t lying. In the past three years, he hadn’t looked at his contribution plate once. He had no idea how many contribution points he had earned. He also didn’t think that his contribution points would affect his relationship with Yu Caidie.

Yu Caidie wore a slightly unnatural expression. She wasn’t hoping that Xiang Shaoyun could enter the top-10, but she still hoped that he could enter the top-100 to make her negotiation with her clan easier. Unsurprisingly, some Yu Clan members appeared.

“Young lady, this isn’t the time for you to be staying with any man,” advised an old woman respectfully.

Behind the old woman were about a dozen people. None of them was a weakling, and they were all peak Sovereigns. Yu Ziyang was also among the group.

“This is the man I have chosen. Who else would I be with if not him?” said Yu Caidie with a frown.

“Young lady, the clan elders have decided. Your man can only be Di Mie, ranked first on the ranking. No other man is worthy of you,” said the old woman.

“Apart from him, no other man is worthy of me,” said Yu Caidie firmly.

The expressions of the old woman and the people behind her changed. They had not imagined that Yu Caidie would disobey the clan.

“Sister, don’t be stubborn,” said Yu Ziyang as he hurriedly signaled her with his eyes. Yu Caidie ignored him and stood her ground.

“Caidie is my woman. Go back and tell your elders that I, Xiang Shaoyun, will come bearing gifts to ask for her hand in marriage,” said Xiang Shaoyun unyieldingly with her arm wrapped around Yu Caidie’s waist.

“The best gift you can offer is surpassing Di Mie on the ranking. Can you do it?” said the old lady with contempt.
