Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Total there are 13,000 points. Technically, 1,300 people should have passed by, but in reality, it is unlikely that many people passed by.”

The Azure Dragon Hall's guiding elder added, “I'm sure some metal pieces that are worth points will still be nowhere to be found, and while some people earn higher points, some might not even earn ten points. So, I would consider five hundred tickets as a decent amount.”

“I estimate about 500 people also passed.” Xie Kuang nodded.

“According to my experience, it is always around this number. But I'm curious. Who will be the Champion this year?” ask the guidance elder of Onyx Tortoise Hall.

"Heh heh! Duanmu Jue, Duanmu is our genius, of course! " Answer Duanmu Jin was satisfied.

“You're overreacting, Duanmu Jin. Our Huang Yu is extremely talented with awakened Fifth Level blood meridians and Fourth Grade Master Realm cultivation level! He is as good as Duanmu Jue, so I think he will become Champion” denied the guidance elder of the Azure Dragon Hall.

our “Xie Hong may be female, but she is on par with your genius in terms of blood meridians and cultivation as well, so she might win this!” boasting the guidance elder of Onyx Tortoise Hall.

“That may not be the case because our Yin Kai is also one of the best. Vermillion Bird Hall will be the champion this year!” Xie Kuang chirped.

Duanmu Jin patted his distended stomach while sneering, “Huang Yu and the others might be quite good, but Duanmu Jue was still better. Moreover, Xie Kuang, Vermillion Bird Hall have not won for the past eight years, so this year is also impossible for you. Stop daydreaming.”

Xie Kuang's face lowered as he snapped, “What does this mean, Duanmu Fat? Do you underestimate our Vermillion Bird Hall?”

“Yes, so what if I underestimate you? You really expect your bunch of trash to be Champions? Impossible! If you are still unsure, let's bet!” Duanmu Jin snorted.

“Sial, I'm not afraid of you. Let's bet, Duanmu Fat! Mention your bet,” replied Xie Kuang.

Duanmu Jin's eyes flashed with excitement as he said, “I bet 30 spiritual crystals will win in the White Tiger Hall. What about the stakes?”

"What?! 30 spiritual crystals?” Xie Kuang shouted in surprise.

Spiritual crystals are formed by the condensation of highly concentrated spiritual energy. It was extremely precious and only martial artists outside of the Grandmaster Realm could use it to cultivate.

The market price for one spiritual crystal was 10,000 taels of silver, so 30 spiritual crystals were equivalent to 300,000 taels of silver.

That's a very expensive bet.

“What's up, Xie Kuang? The fear? Too expensive for you?” Duanmu Jin sneered.

'Fuck!' Xie Kuang gritted his teeth and snapped, “ Bet, Duanmu Jin! Don't act stupid and forget our bet later.”

“I should have been more scared if you saved me!” Duanmu Jin smiled coldly.

“Participants will be out now,” interrupted the Azure Dragon Hall's guiding elder.

Some young men came out of Midnight Hills.

“They are from Vermillion Bird Hall. They came out so fast, huh? I wonder how many points they have, ”joke Duanmu Jin.

Xie Kuang's face darkened as he asked his students, “How many points do you have? Take everything out and count.”

“T-not much!” Dazed, one young man took out two pieces of metal one point while the other had none. That's all they got.

“Hahaha, just two points for the whole. Amazing harvest!” Duanmu Jin laughed out loud.

The other two guidance elders put a mocking smile on their faces.

Competition was fierce between the four halls, so the worse the other halls were, the better for them.

More participants dropped out of Midnight Hills, but the passing rate was only ten to one.

Those who failed lowered their heads in disappointment, while those who passed jumped in joy.

Of course, the White Tiger Hall had the most number of admission tickets out of the current four halls. Azure Dragon Hall was second while Onyx Tortoise Hall was third. Vermillion Bird Hall was in the last order like the past few years.

While Duanmu Jin was beaming, Xie Kuang was furious.

A voice sounds clear. “Xie Hong out!”

Xie Hong, the number one expert at Onyx Tortoise Hall came out of Midnight Hills with a grim expression.

“Heh heh, it looks like Xie Hong's results are not as good as expected huh?” Duanmu Jin grunted as the face of the Onyx Tortoise Hall's guiding elder darkened in shadow.

Xie Hong collected up to 509 points.

“That's not too bad, but without 500 points metal pieces, it's hard to win with this amount,” Azure Dragon Hall's guiding elder commented.

“Well, if the 500-point metal piece remains untouched, Hong’er can win by 509 points,” added guidance elder Onyx Tortoise Hall firmly.

“Someone has taken that 500 point piece of metal,” Xie Hong said suddenly.

"What?! Who has it?” the four guiding elders exclaimed. Anyone who had a 500-point metal cut could win, that was their concern.

Xie Hong shook his head calmly.

Originally, Lu Ming had it, but Duanmu Jue, Yin Kai, Huang Yu, and the others hunted and chased after him. A few days had passed and Xie Hong really had no idea who was holding that 500-point piece of metal right now.

The eyes of the four guiding elders flickered as they debated about who might become the Champion.

“Yin Kai out.”

“Huang Yu also.”

Xie Kuang's heart skipped a beat as he rushed towards the disciples. Both Yin Kai and Huang Yu came out of Midnight Hills with their troops.

“Please, Yin Kai, count your points first,” Huang Yu said to Yin Kai.

Yin Kai waved his hand with a stormy expression as a pile of metal pieces emerged from thin air. No matter how expensive the storage ring was, a genius like him could still afford it.

496 points.

Yin Kai had a total of 496 points lower than Xie Hong.

“Haha, it looks like I will become richer by 30 spiritual crystals now, Xie Kuang! Yin Kai had fewer points than Xie Hong, so there was no way he would get first place now!” Duanmu Jin chuckled.

“Don't count your chickens before they hatch, Duanmu Jin! Even if Yin Kai lost, Duanmu Jue might still not have won,” denied Xie Kuang.

"Ah, really? It doesn't matter anyway because I'm still invincible until now. Even if Duanmu Jue didn't win, it wasn't me who lost,” ridiculed Duanmu Jin.

At the same time, Yin Kai's face turned furious as he roared in his heart, ‘Lu Ming, I hope Duanmu Jue takes that 500-point piece of metal from you.’

He would rather lose to Duanmu Jue than Lu Ming win the first prize.

At that moment, Lu Ming and Feng Wu walked out of the Midnight Hills.
