Chapter 126: Tokens
Within the Secret Realm’s vortex, two figures, a man and a woman, quickly vanished, leaving the Secret Realm.
Qin Yefeng immediately increased his speed. With a flash of golden light, he shot towards the place where the man and woman had disappeared.
Seeing Big Brother Qin Yefeng’s impatience, Su Ying’s delicate and lovely face showed deep confusion. In her memory, Big Brother Qin Yefeng had never acted this way.
“Why is Big Brother Qin Yefeng like this? Who were that man and woman ahead?” Su Ying looked up at Xiong Yu and asked, puzzled.
Xiong Yu carefully recalled the familiar figure in the direction Big Brother Qin Yefeng was chasing. That must be Qin Xue, the one Big Brother Qin Yefeng hated the most.
“If I’m not mistaken, that woman is Qin Xue, Big Brother Qin Yefeng’s mortal enemy!” Xiong Yu said, leaping after Big Brother Qin Yefeng.
“Even if she’s a mortal enemy, why is Big Brother Qin Yefeng so anxious? I’m really curious what happened.” Su Ying also unleashed her Spiritual Power, following Xiong Yu as they flew out of the Secret Realm.
“I don’t know either why Big Brother Qin Yefeng is so anxious. It seems Qin Xue is extremely malicious and once did something utterly heartless to Big Brother Qin Yefeng,” Xiong Yu replied.
“Oh.” Su Ying nodded and turned to look at Zi Baiying.
She noticed that Sister Baiying, though flying with them, was indeed as thoughtful as she had imagined, seemingly very eager to understand what exactly had transpired between Qin Yefeng and that woman.
Qin Yefeng led the group, arriving at the Secret Realm’s vortex.
“All of you, follow me. I’ve encountered someone I absolutely must pursue.”
After speaking, Qin Yefeng plunged into the Secret Realm’s vortex without hesitation, and after a dizzying sensation, emerged outside the Secret Realm.
Upon exiting the Secret Realm’s vortex, Qin Yefeng saw dozens of tents of various sizes outside, and indeed, he spotted Qin Xue’s figure outside the largest tent in the center.
Beside Qin Xue was a Student at the Mid True Essence Realm. Their bodies were very close, almost intertwined, and upon closer inspection, it seemed Qin Xue was the more proactive one.
“Qin Xue, it seems that to save your life and deal with me, Qin Yefeng, you’ve had to sell everything you have.” Qin Yefeng’s voice was low, filled with strong killing intent.
In front of the large tent stood a three-zhang tall Stone Tablet, where academy personnel were already ranking the Students who had exited the Secret Realm.
Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition First Place: Holy Sun Tokens: 122, No other special achievements.
Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition Second Place: Holy Sun Tokens: 119, No other special achievements.
Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition Third Place: Holy Sun Tokens: 107, No other special achievements.
…
A handsome male Student and a female Student arrived at the score Stone Tablet, and all the Students made way for them.
The male Student wore a Dragon Robe and a Purple Gold Crown, clearly a scion of a prominent family, and the Aura emanating from him was completely unconcealed.
He was clearly at the Mid True Essence Realm. With only three days left until the Secret Realm closed, powerful individuals wouldn’t stay long inside, having already acquired the tokens they desired.
“This is Wang Tianci, the Holy Sun Sect’s top Seed Student! Not only is he at the Mid True Essence Realm, but his father is also an influential Deacon of the Holy Sun Sect!”
“I heard there were three Mid True Essence Realm experts entering the Secret Realm this time: Yao Moxie, Wang Tianci, and Su Yan. I wonder who among them is the strongest!”
“Who is that woman next to Wang Tianci? Why have I never seen such a beautiful woman since coming out?”
Wang Tianci paid no attention to the whispers around him. Holding his head high, he led Qin Xue towards the Stone Tablet, and with a wave of his hand.
Rows of blood-stained tokens flowed out from his Storage Ring. The sheer number of tokens made the surrounding Students incredibly envious.
The Holy Sun Sect disciple at the Stone Tablet quickly counted the Holy Sun Tokens, announcing a startling number: three hundred and thirty-two tokens!
However, before everyone’s gasps of surprise had fully subsided, Wang Tianci once again produced an item from his Storage Ring, one that radiated intense water-attribute energy.
This was a palm-sized, pure azure Water Core, from which waves of water aura emanated.
“A Water Core from a Horned Water Beast! Wang Tianci has over three hundred tokens and a Water Core from one of the Four Great Sacred Beasts! It seems the first place in the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition is definitely his!”
“This… could this be the Horned Water Beast, one of the Four Guardian Beasts of the Secret Realm? Killing a Horned Water Beast allows one to become an Inner Sect Disciple, and if only one person possesses its Water Core, they become a true disciple!”
“This Wang Tianci isn’t just at the Mid True Essence Realm. Seeing that he could slay a Horned Water Beast and obtain its Water Core, he must possess unparalleled strength!”
Just as everyone recovered from their shock, and the Holy Sun Sect disciple was about to inscribe Wang Tianci’s name as the first place on the Secret Realm Stone Tablet, a young man’s crude voice rang out.
“Stop right there! First place can only be mine, no one can take it!”
All the Holy Sun Academy Students looked at the young Student who had just emerged from the Secret Realm. He only possessed the strength of an Early True Essence Realm, and there wasn’t a single Student beside him.
“Why is this Student so ridiculous? An Early True Essence Realm cultivator is countless in the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition. The top three were supposed to be Mid True Essence Realm Students, I didn’t expect a good-for-nothing!”
“What the hell? Although that Student’s True Essence aura is very strong, he must have assassinated some Students to get tokens, but a Sacred Beast like the Horned Water Beast can’t be slain just by being strong!”
Qin Yefeng walked up to Wang Tianci and Qin Xue, glaring fiercely at Qin Xue. If they weren’t already outside the Secret Realm, he would surely have slain Qin Xue on the spot.
Seeing Qin Yefeng staring intently at Qin Xue, with no intention of producing any tokens, the Holy Sun Sect disciple said irritably, “Student, if you don’t have tokens, don’t cause trouble! I still have other Students’ tokens to register!”
“Oh, go ahead and count.” Qin Yefeng snapped back to reality and quickly shook out all the tokens he had obtained from his Storage Bag.
“What’s this? Just someone who’s taken a fancy to the beauty beside Wang Tianci and wants to show off here! I bet he doesn’t have many tokens! Claiming to have enough for first place is just to get the beauty’s attention!”
However, before the onlookers had finished speaking, the tokens shaken out from Qin Yefeng’s Storage Bag had already piled up into a small mountain.
The Holy Sun Sect disciple hadn’t yet counted the exact number of tokens, but roughly speaking, this pile of tokens was definitely more than three hundred.
“This Student named Qin Yefeng is actually this strong?” The observing Students thought to themselves as they watched the young Student.
