Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 366 - Four Hours Later
"You who?!" One of the students asked and stuttered.
Zhang En again took a sip of his wine, replying in an indifferent tone, "Zhang En ."
“Ha...? Zhang En!”
"You are the seventh rank Zhang En!"
The faces of the hundreds of disciples became even paler. If this was still a few days ago, perhaps most of them would have never heard of Zhang En's name, but now, it was, among the ninety million disciples who participated in the initiation underwent the assessment this time, who did not know Zhang En's name.
"Ah. It turns out this is Zhang En's partner." A disciple stepped out of the crowd with false bravery, offering a friendly smile carefully as he said, "We are the ones who have offended before, We hope that our fellow Dao can forgive the behavior of all of us, we are all, we'll get out of here soon and not bother you!"
Despite having over a hundred and eighties of people, if Zhang En wanted to kill them, it would be like a predator toying with its prey.
Killing the strongest person in their group just by blowing wind from his mouth, killing all of them would not require hundreds of breaths, this was what the disciple had in mind. What this disciple did not know was that if Zhang En wanted to kill all of them, he could do it in one breath.
“Good, you guys better get out of here!” Zhang En said as if giving orders and no longer paying attention to all of them.
When they all heard Zhang En's words, it was akin to an order coming down from heaven. They quietly sighed in relief as they turned around and were about to leave,.
"Wait!" Zhang En's voice was heard again.
Their hearts all stiffened nervously, all their steps frozen with faces turning pale as they asked in their respective hearts.
'Did this Zhang En change his mind?'
"Take off all the spatial rings that belong to all of you before leaving." Zhang En's voice sounded once again.
Right now, they did not even dare to raise any objections. All they could do was to quickly remove all of their rings, then hand them over to Zhang En before fleeing for their lives.
As all of these disciples fled for their lives, loud explosions rang out from the distance. Looking at the source, one of the fleeing disciples had just hit a wall and fell to the ground.. The student did not know where to go south and north because he was already frightened.
...
At this moment, in the vast courtyard of the Spirit Hall, Every Elder and cultivator from different clans were sitting there. Many of them had noticed that Zhang En's points had not changed over the past 4 hours.
Meanwhile, the two elders behind the clouds above the Fire Spirit Hall also noticed this matter and exchanged glances between them.
"Could this Zhang En meet a 1-star pinnacle God Emperor realm demon beast?" Elder Su Haodong made a conjecture.
Previously, a 1-Star pinnacle God Emperor realm demon beast was already in the prison of the Wood World. However, this time, because of Du Leng, the Fire Spirit Sect had deliberately unleashed two 1st Star realm pinnacle God Emperor realm demon beasts in the Wood World.
Elder Ling Zhiqun's brows furrowed into a deep frown. If, by chance, Zhang En really did encounter those two demonic beasts, this would really trouble the young man, it could even get him injured or killed, he thought.
...
Zhang En's 4-hour points no longer changed were also noticed by the disciples of the He Clan. As Zhang En's points remained and did not rise anymore, while He Xiu's points, which were shifted to eighth rank, continued to rise, it seemed that they would soon overtake Zhang En's points. these He Clan disciples cheered.
"That Zhang En seemed great at first, but do you see now, he can't pick up the points anymore." One of the He Clan disciples sneered.
"I'd say that if he couldn't raise his points again, he's most likely already weak by now." In the distance, the Zhu Clan disciples who held grudges against Zhang En chimed in.
....
In the Wood World, Zhang En finally made his move back 4 hours later, stretching his waist and arms lazily.
Zhang En then shook his body slightly as he again appeared in the night sky without being decorated with stars in an instant.
Taking out about three hundred beast cores from his spatial ring, he repeated what he did during the day. He then used his consciousness to control the core of this beast to revolve around it at high speed, create a ferocious typhoon, and move forward. Where the typhoon storm passed by, no demonic beasts survived.
...
In the vast front courtyard of the Spirit Hall, in front of the eyes of the He Clan disciples, just as He Xiu was about to chase Zhang En's points, by only a margin of several hundred points, zhang En's points surged and continued to rise at a frightening speed.
The crowd was left dumbfounded, especially when sixth ranker Ling Ming's place was taken over by Zhang En, and soon after, his points surpassed fifth rank.
Zhang En's points continued to surge like a nightmare, trailing Xu Shaoqing's points.
The cries and cries of shock and astonishment grew louder in the vast courtyard of the Spirit Hall as time passed. And the disciples of the He Clan who were laughing at Zhang En at first, now fell silent a thousand languages at last feeling like their heads were hammered, and their minds were instantly blank.
...
Whereas in the Wood World, the ninety million disciples who were appraisal participants felt their minds humming as they watched Zhang En rise in rank like a train without brakes.
...
Suddenly.
"Look at that, Zhang En ranks fourth now!" The shouting voice of a disciple rang out throughout the vast courtyard of the Spirit Hall.
Looking at the list of points on the Crystal Pillar floating in the air above the square, everyone was made flabbergasted.
Not long ago, they said with certainty that this Zhang En could reach the seventh rank, or at most could only be at or in the fifth place. However, at this moment, Zhang En continued to rise in terrifying speed rankings.
...
In the Wood World, Du Leng was standing in the air above the vast ice surface.
“Ehh.?!” As his consciousness sank into his token, he was slightly surprised to find the figure that ranked fourth, Xu Shaoqing, had been lowered to fifth rank, while the current fourth rank was Zhang En.
"Zhang En ?!
He repeated the name and a hint of confession flashed through his mind. He never imagined that in just three short days, this Zhang En had actually risen to the fourth rank.
In another location, Wang Biaoyuan did not look too happy as he looked at the list and the ranking changes. His fiancee, Xu Shaoqing, was actually ranked fifth by a disciple of unknown background named Zhang En.
His points were currently at 970 million, and Zhang En had over 890 million points.
Although 80 million seemed to be a huge gap between the points the two of them, with Zhang En's speed in gaining points, taking his rank was only a matter of time.
In another location, Li Shao also saw a change in the ranking list with a pouting face. Part of him strongly refused to believe that Zhang En had actually managed to occupy the fourth perigkat by now. During Zhang En's aptitude and strength test, he was there and saw Zhang En's test results more clearly.
