Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 363 - The Slaughter of the Demonic Beast
A moment later, the strong gales that could destroy anything from Zhang En's sword slash finally disappeared.
Scattering blood mist rained down from the sky like a hail of rocks, dyeing the surface of the ground red, forming a red line like a winding stream of blood.
One strike of Zhang En's sword killed over three hundred demon beasts present in the area nearby.
In an instant, Zhang En's token lit up again, and his points increased by several tens of thousands. This was equivalent to Zhang En killing two to three God Emperor realm demon beasts.
Zhang En's consciousness scanned the message inside the token, now that he had risen in rank in an instant!
With a wave of his hand, the hundreds of beast cores that fell on the ground were sucked into his spatial ring. He then disappeared in an instant, appeared in a region a thousand meters away, and gave off a slash in another wide area attack.
Countless blade lights turned into chains, stretching a thousand meters. All the demon beasts within a thousand meter radius felt the space around them become dense, inhibiting their movements. They search for the cause, only to find that they are shackled by black chains encircling their bodies.
Fear overpowered these demonic beasts, just as they wanted to escape, the blade of the sword in Zhang En's hand was pulled back with a single jolt. Instantly, the body of this demonic beast was torn to shreds until it exploded into clouds of blood mist.
Blood mist scattered with the wind, some falling splattered onto the ground, painting the ground surface within a thousand meters of the red color.
Zhang En made a twisting motion with his hands, gathering hundreds of other demon beast cores into his spatial ring.
The rate is up again.
Now, Zhang En carried out the slaughter of the demonic beast with his strongest sword technique.
Zhang En then disappeared in an instant, reappearing within an area a thousand meters away, waving the sword in his hand again and uttering his sword stance.
"Dragon Sword Steps, Slayer Lightning Dragon.!"
Not long after, streaks of lightning struck like the wrath of heaven appeared in the sky, turning into raging lightning dragons plunging into the forest that was below, sending countless beast cores flying into the sky.
Carrying out the same attack, Zhang En carried out continuous attacks by slashing his sword in long-range attacks. Every time he ended his slaughter and killed a demonic beast, the points in his token would increase by several thousand points or more, pushing him steadily up the ranks, closer to entering the hundredth rank.
While Zhang En was tirelessly attacking using his sword and gathering the beast core, in the square in front of the Spirit Hall, many people had come from different clans to witness the assessment of the new disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect and stared intently at the gigantic crystal pillar that floated in the sky.
On the surface of the crystal pillar, the names of the ranks one to one hundred and record their scores or points. Score numbers keep flashing as they change, with occasional changes to rankings.
《First rank, 35 million points, Du Leng!》
Staring at the giant pillar, various discussions took place among these crowds.
“New three hours, but Du Leng's score has actually reached 35 million. If it continued like this, the score would definitely reach 200 million on the last day of the assessment!"
"It looks like the first place will belong to Du Leng!"
The cultivators from the various clans were enchanted as they continued to stare at the score post.
Hidden within a void space above the clouds, the two middle-aged men who were wearing the golden robes of the Fire Spirit Sect, Su Haodong, and Ling Zhiqun, nodded with satisfied smiles upon seeing Du Leng's points.
"I'm really envious of that Old Man Du, such a genius has been born from his Clan!" Ling Zhiqun wailed.
Su Haodong laughed, "The disciple of the younger generation of your Clan, Ling Mingxuan is not bad either, he is ranked in the top six."
Currently, the scoreboard list shows the name Ling Mingxuan, who was ranked sixth with 23 million points. This Ling Mingxuan was one of the younger generations of the Ling Clan.
Ling Zhiquan laughed out loud and said, "His strength is still too lacking compared to that Du Leng." Despite saying so, he put on a proud expression as he added, “It looks like the top ten rankings will be as we predicted.”
The top four names on the ranking list at this moment were exactly as they had predicted before. Gudu Leng, Li Shao, Wang Biaoyuan, and Xu Shaoqing.
...
The assessment on this day has ended and will resume the next day.
Right now, Zhang En was sitting cross-legged on a high mountain peak in the Wood World. After a day of slaughter, he finally entered the top twenty. Currently, his points were above 90 million, and ranked twelve.
This was the result of the points Zhang En had reached and did not want to attract too much attention. He was now resting to absorb some beast cores. If he were to commit an all-out massacre, he would have already entered the top ten rankings by now.
"Tomorrow, I can move to another region." Zhang En muttered as he scanned the boundless vast forest. Tomorrow, he would be able to kill all the demonic beasts in this area of the forest.
"Du Leng, 260 million points!” As Zhang En returned to inspect the token with his consciousness, the first thing he noticed was Du Leng's latest number of points.
In second place was still Li Shao, third place also remained the same person, Wang Biaoyuan, and in fourth place was still Xu Shaoqing. The scores of these three individuals all surpassed 180 million points.
From fifth to tenth place were Jiang Wei, Ling Mingxuan, He Xiu, Yang Shiqi, Su Meiyi, and Zhu Haixiang.
Zhu Haixiang in tenth place had over 160 million points.
...
Today is the second day of the assessment exam.
The sun was already high in the sky, the scorching sunlight was warming the entire land. Soon, the exam began again.
For a time, the ten names in the top ten ranking list rankings still remained the same.
But half a day later, suddenly at this moment, the elders of each clan representative as well as the elders of the Fire Spirit Sect as well as the disciples of each clan who did not participate in the assessment and just went to watch were present there, and had been staring at the giant pillar in the air since then and noticed the changes in the ranking and name list.
"This…?!" Everyone is surprised.
Only when there is a change in the top ten ranking list will there be a shift in position.
"Look, tenth rank Zhu Haixiang has fallen to eleventh place!"
"Tenth rank, Zhang En, 223 million points!" Someone exclaims.
Seeing the name that had suddenly entered the top ten rankings, everyone in the square became dazed.
Due to Zhang En's low rank at the beginning, his existence was inconspicuous. Despite his later efforts, his rank rose gradually over time, sparing everyone's attention, even when he finally rose to twelfth place.
Thus, when Zhang En's name suddenly entered the top ten rankings, it shocked everyone.
"Who is this young man named Zhang En?" Some of the crowd asked.
A small disturbance as the discussion spread through the square. The majority of those present had never heard of the name, yet there was someone who knew Zhang En.
“During his aptitude and strength tests seemed to exceed 2,200 points.” Someone in the crowd said. This little information directly passed through the square like a storm.
In one area within the square, the members of the Zhu Family stared intently at the points board as they saw their family disciple, Zhu Haixiang, fall from the top ten rankings. This unexpected turn of events disappointed them greatly.
“Who knows if he has just experienced a bit of luck! How could this level of strength enter the top ten? ” One of the Zhu Family disciples scoffed with disdain.
“That's right, it's just a coincidence he made it into the top ten. In my opinion, he can stay there a few more days, then he will soon be defeated by our Big Brother Zhu Haixing!” The other Zhu Family disciples arrogantly shouted loudly.
