“If he were to know that I did not follow his instructions after I came out and transferred my points to others… He would definitely think that he had wasted his time instructing me…”
Luo Qinghan glanced meaningfully at Zhou Donghuang yet again. It was a similar body type, and the white clothes were almost identical as well. Looking at Zhou Donghuang made her think of yet another figure dressed in white. If she imagined Zhou Donghuang wearing a face mask, he would look almost like the former figure.
Of course, she believed that Zhou Donghuang and Zhuge Haotian were two different people.
Zhou Donghuang’s Dharma Power was the Giant Tiger Dharma Power.
Zhuge Haotian’s Dharma Power was the Flying Beast Dharma Power.
These two Dharma Powers were extremely different in many ways and did not overlap.
“I hope if he found out what I did, he would understand why… Not only do I not want to continue owing him, but I also do not want to ruin his reputation,” Luo Qinghan mused to herself internally.
…
Seeing as two of the mid Divine Transformation adepts of the Alliance Hunt, as well as Huang Chunqiu and the people of the Tiansong Sect had left, the remaining mid Divine Transformation adepts caught the attention of the bystanders by speaking up.
“I think that almost everyone from the 52 sects of the Alliance is here.
“Next up, for all disciples, once you hear me call your sect’s name, come up before me and take out all the brains of the beasts you have killed and stored in your space rings. This presentation will allow us to tabulate your points and create the rankings.
“For the beasts within the Guiyao planet, within three months of its death, the brain will still have a lingering amount of active Spirit energy… After three months, the Spirit energy remaining within the brain will completely disappear.
“In this case, if anyone tries to cheat and present any brains from their space ring that do not contain any hint of Spirit energy, that means that they smuggled this brain into their space ring before the Alliance Hunt commenced. This is considered cheating, and you will be disqualified from the rankings and point tabulation.”
After speaking, the elder’s gaze turned to the middle-aged man who was standing beside him.
“Let’s start.”
The disciples were all aware of the strict rules of the Alliance, and thus no one dared to try any silly attempts to cheat.
After hearing the elder speak, no one was shocked that they had expected such penalties for cheating.
“Yes, Deputy Alliance Leader.”
This middle-aged man was clearly the person in charge of tabulating scores for this season of the Alliance Hunt. His gaze quickly and first landed on the group of people from the sect nearest to him. With a clear voice, he called out, “Now, Dharma adepts of the Colored Glass Sect, please step forward.”
Among the 52 elite sects of the Alliance, the Colored Glass Sect was one of the top sects within the Hengliu galaxy.
This time, out of the 40 Dharma adepts from the Colored Glass Sect that had been nominated, there were only 30 who had emerged from the Guiyao planet. Out of the remaining ten, about eight or nine of them had been killed on the Guiyao planet… As for the survivors, they were probably stuck behind for some reason or another. Nevertheless, they would all be disqualified from the Alliance Hunt, and their points would not be counted.
Once the disciples of the Colored Glass Sect headed forward, someone took the space rings from them and allowed them to present the brains from within. Afterwards, another person was in charge of recording their achievements and awarding scores.
“6812 points!”
The attention of the people from the other sects was previously directed towards the massive group of Colored Glass Sect disciples, but now it landed on one disciple in particular. One of the elders of the Alliance Hunt, who was in charge of recording down the scores, could not help but exclaim out loud, “Truly a stunning disciple of the younger generation of the Colored Glass Sect, what great results!”
6812 points?
After hearing this announcement by the elder, the surrounding disciples of the other sects also shouted out, “What a high score! Is that the result gained by the Colored Glass Sect’s disciple, Ximen Wanwan?”
“She is really the most skilled out of the younger generation of disciples in the Colored Glass Sect… In the sect, only Ximen Wanwan could earn this title!”
“It’s amazing that this girl, Ximen Wanwan, not only managed to prove herself in the Colored Glass Sect and gained the recognition of being the most talented among the younger generation of the sect but also managed to receive such outstanding results in this round of the Alliance Hunt! If I recall correctly, in the previous hunt, the best results out of the disciples of the Colored Glass Sect was only about 5000 points!”
“Such results will definitely be among the top 30 of this season’s Alliance Hunt!”
“If tabulated within the last Alliance Hunt, it would have been among the top 30 as well!”
…
As the disciples of the various sects exclaimed out loud, He Mengxi also introduced this particular disciple to Zhou Donghuang. “Ximen Wanwan is the daughter of the Colored Glass Sect Leader and is one of the most exemplary disciples within the Hengliu galaxy… If I compare my past self to her, I would be incomparable!
“Even after I’ve adjusted my style of training, my personal scores still cannot exceed hers.”
He Mengxi appeared to be somewhat disheartened.
“Senior, didn’t we talk about this before? The Alliance Hunt does not only measure ability but is also dependent on luck. She must have been luckier than you this time around.”
Before Zhou Donghuang could speak, Da Zhuang had already spoken up first to comfort He Mengxi. After changing to the Fiery Thunder Training Regimen, Da Zhuang’s brain had also become much more active than before. He was no longer slow and could think at the speed of an average person.
Of course, as compared to others, who had gained more Spirit energy from their training, he was still not on par.
About half a minute later, the results for the disciples of the Colored Glass Sect had all been tabulated and recorded. At this point, the middle-aged man who was in charge of the overall rankings spoke up again and called for a sect close to him to step forward.
For this sect’s Dharma adepts, the top scorer only had a score of 5600 points. Although that was above average, however, it seemed inadequate after the reveal of Ximen Wanwan’s high score on behalf of the Colored Glass Sect. Few people took note of the scores of the disciples of this sect as they were not extraordinary.
Instead, the crowd anticipated the results of uncalled sects.
“I wonder how many sects have to go up before any other disciple can get a higher score than Ximen Wanwan of the Colored Glass Sect.”
Many people were anticipating the next high score.
Half a minute later, the third sect was called forward for the tabulation of scores. There was one person who had a score that came close to that of Ximen Wanwan. However, he missed her score by a hundred or so points. Nevertheless, although it was still lower, these points could still easily land this disciple into the top 30.
“It’s time for the Red Leaves Sect!”
Once the fourth sect’s disciples were called up, the crowd’s attention was captured. All their gazes slowly landed onto a particular disciple out of the 30 disciples of the Red Leaves Sect, who had stepped forward.
This was a young man of an average build, and his hair was extremely messy. He was wearing robes that were old and tattered, and he seemed slightly unkempt. However, most of the crowd glanced at him with looks of admiration.
“That’s the top disciple of the younger generation of the Red Leaves Sect, Baili Feiyang.”
He Mengxi casually introduced this figure to Zhou Donghuang. “If one were to say that Ximen Wanwan is seen as mystical and someone to admire in the Tiansong Sect, well… He is ranked even higher than that in the eyes of all the youngsters of the Alliance. He is definitely seen as someone better than Ximen Wanwan and Mo Yitian.
“Before he crossed to the late Dharma stage, he had already mastered the method of Dharma-body integration and is one of the few ingenious talents to ever emerge from the Red Leaves Sect.
“This year, he just turned 30 years old.”
With such an over-the-top introduction by He Mengxi, Zhou Donghuang could not help but follow her gaze and look at Baili Feiyang with a look of admiration.
This was not because he was shocked at Baili Feiyang’s results. He was more surprised that these results could have come about even though Baili Feiyang lived in such a backward galaxy, such as the Hengliu galaxy.
If such a figure was able to train in a galaxy that had abundant resources, his results would definitely be even more impressive at this point.
“8130 points!”
Once Baili Feiyang’s results were announced, it naturally caused a stir among the entire crowd. Be it Dharma disciples of the Thunder Sword Sect or the others, everyone was shocked, and their eyes widened. “My goodness! More than 8000 points?”
“In the previous Alliance Hunt, the top scorer also only gained about 8000 points! Although he has a few hundred more points, the gap should still be taken into account.”
“Baili Feiyang is truly the elite disciple of the Red Leaves Sect!”
…
Towards the shouts by the audience, Baili Feiyang maintained a calm expression and was indifferent towards the looks of admiration that the audience gave him as he stepped down.
“Little brother, this Baili Feiyang’s composure and personality are rather similar to yours… Like you, he always has on a stoic and stern expression.”
Towards He Mengxi’s words, Zhou Donghuang was somewhat speechless.
Once the results of the Red Leaves Sect’s disciple, Baili Feiyang’s results were released, the entire crowd was extremely shocked. Other than the disciples, even the Sect Leaders of the various sects were shocked as well. This was an outstanding result that was considered excellent even when compared to past results of previous Alliance Hunts.
At this point, the Thunder Sword Sect Leader glanced at Zhou Donghuang with a dark look and sighed.
It was very obvious that, due to Zhou Donghuang’s previous state, he had assumed that Zhou Donghuang did not perform well and would not receive a score that would exceed Baili Feiyang’s.
However, if Zhou Donghuang and Baili Feiyang fought a fair battle, he believed that Zhou Donghuang would not be weaker than Baili Feiyang… Besides, even Baili Feiyang could not defeat Mo Yitian so easily, just like Zhou Donghuang had.
“Baili Feiyang is really one of the most talented youngsters of the entire Alliance… Looking at his results, it is clear that he had good luck during the hunt on the Guiyao planet as well… As long as other talented individuals did not have as much good luck, he will definitely be the top scorer for this season!”
A random disciple from an unspecified sect shouted out his commentary of the events, and this comment was overheard by a few sharp-eared disciples of the Thunder Sword Sect.
“The most talented of the young generation?”
“With our Thunder Sword Sect’s Zhou Donghuang, Baili Feiyang will still lose in terms of skill and power!”
“Exactly! Our Zhou Donghuang could easily defeat Mo Yitian and destroy him… Baili Feiyang is indeed talented, but could he possibly have defeated Mo Yitian like Zhou Donghuang did?”
The disciples among the Thunder Sword Sect whispered among themselves, and they clearly did not believe a word that the other disciple had said.
At this point, some of the Dharma disciples of the Yunyue Sect, who were nearby, also added to the commentary. “Although Baili Feiyang and the rest of them are rather impressive, he is no longer considered to be the most talented member of the younger generation… The most talented of the younger generation is Zhou Donghuang! He is a disciple of the Thunder Sword Sect, and he is truly unbeatable!”
“Yes… He managed to avoid getting hurt even after allowing Mo Yitian three attempts to attack him first. And yet, he managed to defeat Mo Yitian after only one move.”
“Who else in the Alliance and of the Late Dharma stage would be able to do such a thing? Especially for disciples who are younger than 30 years old?”
“Be it those who are below 30 or even below 35, no one else could possibly do such a thing!”
