104: Chapter 104 Slaying the Beast King, Secures First Place

This single finger swept across the sky.

Under the extremely shocked gazes of Chu Tianhe and a group of other top Qingxuan Sect Prodigy, that golden sword qi erupting from Zhao Ruoan's fingertips utterly lacked any reason, colliding directly with the "Frost Storm" fully exhaled by the wolf king!

There was no evenly matched stalemate as imagined, nor was there any sky-shattering exchange of energy!

The frost storm, which was powerful enough to tear ordinary Pulse Condensation Realm Peak Cultivator into pieces, the moment it touched Zhao Ruoan's fifth-tier Peak Sword Intent, was simply like a piece of butter encountering a red-hot sharp knife!

"Chi-la——!!"

Accompanied by an extremely piercing tearing sound, that huge frost tornado storm was forcibly split in two right down the middle, extremely smoothly, by this seemingly thin golden sword qi!

The violent cold qi and wind blades instantly scattered to both sides, cutting two bottomless huge ice ditches on the ground, yet they failed to harm Zhao Ruoan standing in the middle by even a fraction!

And that golden sword qi, after shattering the storm, did not decrease in speed in the slightest, carrying a terrifying Aura of pressing forward with indomitable will, and landed extremely precisely on the neck of the Three-Headed Ice Soul Wolf King!

"Puchi!"

An extremely dull sound of muscles and bones being instantly cut open resounded across the entire field.

The Three-Headed Ice Soul Wolf King's huge surging body froze extremely bizarrely in mid-air.

Inside its remaining two large heads, the extremely ferocious light froze completely at this instant, subsequently turning into extreme despair and emptiness.

The next second!

Amidst the gasp-inducing exclamations of everyone around, the wolf king's massive head, growing three huge heads, smoothly slid down from its neck!

"Boom!"

The huge body that had lost its head rushed forward a dozen meters by inertia, and finally, like a toppled city wall, slammed heavily onto the muddy ground less than three feet in front of Zhao Ruoan, and fresh blood, like a breached flood, gushed out from the smooth neck fracture, dyeing the surrounding grassland an eye-catching crimson!

One-hit kill!

The dignified Early Stage third-tier mutated beast king, whose strength was comparable to a human Spirit Pill Realm expert, was directly decapitated under Zhao Ruoan's casual strike of pointing fingers as a sword, its body dead and Dao vanished!

Those hundreds of ordinary Yao Beasts that were originally surrounding the area and eager to move, seeing that the invincible king in their hearts had been chopped down with just a single finger by someone, were frightened into making wave after wave of terrified wails.

How could they dare to stay in place for another half second?

They immediately turned around, tucked their tails, and fled wildly like headless flies into the forests in all directions, running completely clean in the blink of an eye.

In the center of the battlefield, only the huge corpse of the wolf king was left, along with Zhao Ruoan, who stood in front of the corpse, bare-chested, and was retracting his fingers into his sleeves.

"All done and wrapped up."

Zhao Ruoan patted his hands and walked familiarly toward the wolf king's huge head that had rolled to the side.

He stretched out his finger, fumbled around for a while inside the innermost collapsed head, and pried outward with force.

An inner core of a Yao Beast, the size of an adult's fist, icy blue and translucent throughout, with a miniature ice wolf seemingly roaring and wandering inside, was dug out by him.

Extremely dense frigid Spiritual Qi continuously emanated from this inner core, causing the surrounding air temperature to drop by several degrees instantly.

"An inner core of a third-tier mutated Yao Beast, this quality, tsk tsk, I'm getting rich, getting rich."

Zhao Ruoan wiped the blood off the inner core on his linen trousers, then pulled out the points token at his waist and pressed the inner core against it.

"Hum——!!"

That ordinary wooden plaque in his hand, which was originally just bright golden, after absorbing the spiritual power fluctuations of this third-tier mutated beast inner core, actually burst directly into a blinding purple-red light!

The points number on the wooden plaque began an ultimate skyrocketing that made everyone's scalp tingle in an instant!

"4890... 6890... 8890... 10000 points!!"

A full ten thousand points!

The moment this number jumped out, the hundred-zhang light screen in the outer Zongwu Hall Grand Square directly issued a thunderous sound like a great bell!

"First Place: Outer Sect Number 9527, Points: 10000 points!!"

Tens of thousands of Disciple and all the high-level Elder on the square were completely dumbfounded by this outrageous number to the extreme!

Ten thousand points!

What does this represent?

This represents that this mysterious number 9527 not only swept through almost all the top Prodigy of the inner Sect, but also crossed realms to slay a genuine third-tier Yao Beast King equivalent to the Spirit Pill Realm!

This is no longer being a dark horse in the grand competition; this is purely a dimensionality-reduction strike!

It is rubbing the faces of the entire younger generation of the Qingxuan Sect back and forth in the mud!

"Investigate! Go investigate quickly! No matter who this person is, after the grand competition ends, be sure to invite him to the Sect Master Grand Hall at the very first moment! This old man wants to personally take him as a Personal Disciple! No one is allowed to fight me for him!!"

Above the grand hall, several Grand Elders who had been living in seclusion for many years were so excited that even their beards curled up.

In order to fight for this mysterious "9527", they almost got into a physical fight on the square.

Meanwhile, in the core basin of the Wanshou Mountain Range.

Chu Tianhe, bringing the remaining top Prodigy from various Peaks and supporting each other, walked slowly toward Zhao Ruoan with extremely respectful and extremely fearful steps.

"Chu Tianhe, Main Peak Head Disciple, pays respects to this... Senior Brother!"

Chu Tianhe bowed deeply to Zhao Ruoan with an extremely standard grand courtesy.

There was no longer any of the aloofness belonging to the Main Peak chief in his eyes, and his tone was filled with heartfelt submission: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for stepping in to save us! If not for Senior Brother's Divine Might, we would surely have ended up as fish food today. Earlier on the square, we were blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai, so we hope Senior Brother will not take offense!"

The other Prodigy behind him also respectfully bowed along.

They knew very clearly in their hearts now that the ragged linen-wearing, bare-chested youth before them had absolute strength that had reached a terrifying level that they even struggled to look up to!

If he wanted to seize their points, it would probably just be a matter of crooking a finger.

Zhao Ruoan waved his hand and casually said in plain language: "Alright, alright, cut out these useless empty courtesies. I just happened to pass by and hunt on the side. Do you guys have any extra Yao Beast inner cores and points in your hands? If you do, lend some to me along the way to round it up."

Chu Tianhe and the others were stunned, then hurriedly untied all the remaining points tokens from their waists and offered them with both hands.

"Senior Brother's grace of saving our lives—what do mere points count for! Senior Brother, please take whatever points are on our bodies! From now on, within the Qingxuan Sect, I, Chu Tianhe, and the Main Peak Disciple behind me, will follow Senior Brother's lead in all things!"

"We are also willing to follow Senior Brother!"

The remaining Prodigy quickly expressed their stance.

Being able to follow a super Prodigy who could kill a Spirit Pill Realm wolf king with a single finger at a young age was not shameful at all; instead, it was already the greatest Opportunity of their lives!

Zhao Ruoan looked at this group of Peak Prodigy with fanatical faces who took the initiative to deliver themselves to his door to become underlings, and laughed out loud with satisfaction.

He swiped all the points into his own token, looked at the invincible number finally locked at "13500 points" on it, and hung the wooden plaque back on his waist.

Just at this moment, high above the sky, an extremely thick white welcoming light pillar crashed down, enveloping the entire battlefield.

The one-month grand competition trial time, at this moment, officially ended!

"Qiuyin, Xiamo! Take our spoils of war and get ready to head out of the mountains!"

Zhao Ruoan waved at the two little maids running over from afar, and then, amidst the extremely respectful crowd of top Qingxuan Sect Prodigy, stepped into the teleportation array returning to the Sect in a single step.

The light of the teleportation array slowly lit up before his eyes.

Zhao Ruoan touched the few cold xuanling fruit in his arms, his mouth unable to stop curling upwards.

He thought to himself: This trip to the Wanshou Mountain Range was truly not in vain; not only did I beat up the Prodigy of various Peaks and collect a huge bunch of underlings, but I also firmly grasped the reward for first place.

I wonder how that old man Sect Master Xuanyang plans to impart energy to me when we return to the Sect square in a moment?

And Revered Master, seeing me so low-key taking first place, she will definitely praise me a couple of times, right?
