Chapter 492: [ That's not necessary ]

In the Merit Hall of the Passing Cloud Sect, a buzzing discussion had apparently started.

Obviously, the only topic was all about the on-going new disciple examination.

The interior of the merit hall did not have many people, with only a few people sitting in bamboo rattan chairs, or stone chairs. In front of them was a huge stone monolith with a height of roughly thirty meters and a width of 20 meters, erected in the center of the hall. On the luminous spot was the record of accumulated contribution points of every disciple and elder of the sect; it would be constantly updated.

Merit Hall was the place where the disciples would exchange their contribution for treasures.

It was the recruitment examination and every elder of the sect who had received the news earlier had laid down all the work on their hands and was waiting to personally witness and wanting to know beforehand which good seedling they wanted to recruit.

A week has already passed, most of the Elders were still keeping a close watch on the Merit Monolith which showed the contribution points of each new recruits.

“This year’s seedlings are going wild, only a week has passed, but several people have already killed enough to enter the top 300 ranking heavens, what kind of background do these people have?”

“How can it be the new recruits so formidable this year?”

The first from the ranking was naturally the master of the sect—Venerable Passing. He had accumulated 6 890 000 contribution points and with several more figures at the end.

The second in the ranking was one of the Six Great Elders in Passing Cloud Sect—[ Grand Flower Spirit ]—her full name was Ouyang Yishuang. She was the Grand Elder of the Flower Garden Pavilion-a branch of the sect that specializes in Concocting Medicinal Pills and Cultivations Pellets. She was only third in terms of power within the entire Sect. 4 465 000—where most of the contribution points were obtained through concocting dans, pills, and pellets; thousands of contribution points could be obtained if a single fourth-ranked pill was successfully concocted.

The third in the ranking was named Grand Master; Xiao Ming. His accumulated contribution points were 2,420,000. He had left Passing Cloud Sect thirty-three years ago, it was unknown whether he is still alive.

However, his accumulated contribution points would increase at random times. Every increase was over five thousand points. The major factors for getting over five thousand points would be killing a late King stage Evil Cultivator or an even stronger Evil expert.

When he left the sect, his accumulated points were 530,000 but now it had increased to 2,420,000. No one knew how many evil experts he had killed and what evil cultivators he was targeting. Most importantly, his whereabouts were still unknown.

Many had guessed that Xiao Ming had broken through to the Ancestor realm after thirty years.

The first thirty in the ranking was almost occupied by the rest of the elders. The younger disciples who had the highest contribution point was the follower of Grand Flower Spirit—Liu Ruyan. She was outstanding among the young generations with exceptional aptitude. She had broken through to the Emperor Realm at thirty years old and became an elder.

However, her contribution wasn’t exceedingly high, it was merely 430,000, which was ranked fifty-five and most of them came from Concocting Cultivation Pellets.

"No need to make a fuss about it, according to some information I received, an exceptional heavenly talent, Xie Fang, has come from Earth Pit City this year, his entering the top 200 ranking in merit hall is very normal, I had already expected this."

"Eh, so this was the case, Xie Fang originally came from Earth Pit City, that’s why!"

“Ai…I have no idea whether any one of them can hit ten thousand contribution points in a month. Hehe… In fact, a thousand contribution points are already too difficult for them.” One of the branch elders of the sect, Gou Pingqing laid on his deck chair while his eyes swept across the contribution ranking that had thousands of names listed on it.

There were tens of thousands of King stage disciples in the sect and the ones who had just joined started from zero. Automatically, they were at the bottom of the list.

“Hehe…what’s this person doing…? Still at less than ten points? The second examination has started for already a weak. This person is undeniably weak. She can’t even kill a mere 1st ranks…? *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Wait, this is?!”

While Elder Gou Pingqing was tasting his favorite tea, he was suddenly caught off guard by the latest update on the contribution ranking and gulped in the rest of the tea, almost swallowing the entire cup.

He was surprised to see the less ten contribution points on Si Mulan’s name suddenly made an unbelievable transformation.

However, when he looked at it once again to see whether he was mistaken or not, suddenly, he almost choked on his tea.

What he was seeing caused him to fastened his breathing. He could feel that his heart was about to come out of his mouth.

“Two, two hundred eight contribution points from eight points?” Gou Pingqing’s eyes widened in shock. Two hundred in one go would mean…

Has this brat killed two 4th rank monsters simultaneously? How is this possible?”

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“That can’t be possible! Forget about killing a 4th rank monster, was there even a 3rd rank in the 2nd and 3rd domain of the labyrinth!?” One person exclaimed in shock as he stared at the numbers that had appeared within the Merit Monolith.

Then, another commotion appeared…

It was still the disciple named ‘Si Mulan.’ The growth of her contribution points was astronomical.

258…

358…

608…

858…

"All of you quickly come and see, what’s the matter with Merit Monolith?! This disciple called Si Mulan why is her Contribution Points suddenly started rising at an unbelievable speed!?”

“She’s acquiring several hundred in just short few minutes…!!”

"No way, don’t joke around, do you even know what rank of monsters do you need to kill to acquire hundred or even fifty contribution points!? This must be a mistake!!"

This brat had accumulated over one thousand points in just two hours’ time. What did she do in Passing Cloud Labyrinth?

She was a monstrous disciple! Several elders admitted that this would also be the speed that they would get if they were to hunt in the forest. Obviously, using their current cultivation level, of course!

"Impossible, a small disciple which hasn’t yet passed King stage realm can kill a 3rd rank and above monster?! How could that be possible! Stop joking, ok."

"Yes yes, forget about killing them?! 3rd rank and above monsters can possibly appear below 4th domain! I can’t take the joke anymore."

"Crap, am I deceiving you, take a look yourself."

"Ehh, it really is, however, it should be a mistake by the Merit Monolith in collecting the data!"

"Clearly it is a mistake in the data collected, we should report it."

After some more time had passed, many infuriated elders successively reported, but it was all in vain. Finally, the Vice Sect Leader even personally came himself and refuted them by replying that there was no mistake in the data collected. The Merit Monolith would never make any mistake!!

However, many elders raised a commotion until the Vice Sect Leader could only give up and announced that the details of the monsters killed by the disciple Si Mulan would be analyzed in detail.

The data wasn’t wrong!

The Merit Monument was going to burst with points!

This news spread like wildfire, sweeping everything in its way. Perhaps this examination of the recruits considered to be most promising younger generation didn’t count as anything in the huge Divine Martial Continent, but when anyone from the Passing Cloud Sect heard this news, they were completely shocked.

Passing Cloud Sect, when has such a terrifying ‘newcomer’ appeared at that place?

Regarding this point, perhaps when Venerable Passing or those other Old timers in other sects hears this news, they would also be paralyzed on the spot.

“Si Mulan’s information has come out."

“Sect Elder, this is Si Mulan’s data regarding her background,”

“Is this the truth…? This is the genuine information of Si Mulan’s family background and related people’s background profile.....”

“Oh? Si Louxi’s precious little sister… no wonder. It was Si Clan’s precious daughter of heaven…”

At this moment, within the Passing Cloud Sect, several people were quickly moving around.

Then,

“What?! You actually didn’t report this at all?! She’s in the sixth Domain…?!” Venerable Passing and the other Elders sprung from their chairs as soon as they read the reported papers. Their eyes widened in shock.

“What happened…?! Explain properly!!” Venerable Passing’s voice reverberated through the entire sect, even causing the ground the shake. If something happened to the precious Dao Child of the Si Clan, they would certainly face the wrath of the Si Family.

Although they were just an influential family from the Imperial City, detached from the rivers and lakes, however, Si Family isn’t something to be scoffed at. Their power and influence accumulated for over a hundred and thousand years can even a great sect like them dread.

This isn’t a laughing matter…!

“We also didn’t know…” One of the leaders the Red Guards kneeling alongside a woman wearing a blue veil on her face; Xiao Mengqi softly muttered.

“Mengqi, didn’t I send you to facilitate the examination so that there would be no problems occurring…?! What is this?! A new recruit was sent into the sixth domain…alone?! You, do all of you can bear the consequences of such mistake…?!!” Venerable Passing angrily shouted. The entire hall turned silent and the pressure suddenly bore down, that almost all of the Elder spat out a mouthful of blood.

This pressure… so this is the pressure of a Half-Saint, almost a Lesser Saint…?!

“You!! Go out immediately! Bring back Si Mulan in this instant!” Venerable gritted his teeth in anger.

““Yes—!!””

The leader of the Red Clouds, as well as Xiao Mengqi, sighs in bitterness. As expected, this had occurred… Xiao Mengqi had already expected this to happen. This also the reason why they had managed to immediately give a proper report of the whereabouts of Si Mulan—because she had already started her own investigation when she had seen that red light and learned that it was indeed, Si Mulan who had fallen into misfortune!

However, what Xiao Mengqi couldn’t understand was that, how is it possible for the teleportation array to ‘accidentally’ sent a recruit into the sixth domain…alone…?!

This certainly must be an insider’s job…!

And this was a great scandal for the Passing Cloud Sect—thus, she was actually planning to work on this secretly. Who had expected, the ‘unfortunate’ Si Mulan would start a commotion? And not just one commotion, she had literally shaken the entirety of the Passing Cloud Sect that even the Sect Master was alarmed.

But how…?

Si Mulan was just a mere Grandmaster Stage Cultivator—no matter how much she was a genius, how is it possible to survive within the sixth domain in this entirety of one week?

All this time, Xiao Mengqi had thought that this girl was probably hiding in some cave, waiting for the month to pass by—she didn’t think that she had already fallen from the sky because, her name was still shining golden in the Merit Monolith—if the light didn’t dim down, it means she was still alive and kicking.

But who would have expected, not she was alive in the sixth domain but now, just after one week, she had actually started her own festival…!

She was hunting… not 2nd rank, nor 3rd rank but, 4th and even 5th rank monsters and beasts in the sixth domain… how is this possible…?!

What kind of heaven-defying opportunity did she has encountered in the sixth domain, causing her to have the power to kill high ranking beasts…?

This really makes one anticipate and even be excited about the little girl’s misfortune turned fortune kind of opportunity!

As Xiao Mengqi was walking towards outside to bring back Si Mulan, suddenly at this very moment, a beautiful woman appeared from the entrance.

“That’s not necessary…” A cold voice rang out, attracting the entirety of the people within the hall.
