DRAGON EMPEROR

CHAPTER 47 Counting Points

When Lu Ming and Feng Wu came out, no one noticed them. All they got was a quick glance from the guidance elders and senior apprentices.

Three of the four number one geniuses came out of the Midnight Hills, and everyone was mostly waiting for Duanmu Jue.

Only a small number of people remained focused on Lu Ming, and they were the ones participating in the 500-point metal cut fight.

Yin Kai's eyes sparkled.

“Congratulations, Lu Ming? How could you avoid Duanmu Jue?” Yin Kai's eyes looked at Lu Ming as he asked.

Huh huh?

What Yin Kai said shocked everyone. According to his tone of voice, was Lu Ming actually someone?

"Why? Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?” Lu Ming sneered.

From the side, Huang Yu asked in a stern voice, “Because you avoided Duanmu Jue, does that mean the 500-point piece of metal is still with you?”

"What?!"

Huang Yu's words sounded like a surprise.

All eyes were on Lu Ming and they were filled with questions and confusion, especially the four guiding elders.

‘Who is this Lu Ming? I've never heard that name before. How did that 500-point piece of metal get to him? How is this possible?'

Many of them do not believe.

“Of course, did you not see it last time?” With a faint smile, Lu Ming waved his hand and a piece of purple gold metal appeared in his hand.

It was a 500-point piece of metal, and it was the only thing everyone was focused on at the time.

'Is it really a 500 point piece of metal? Who exactly is this Lu Ming? He actually had a 500-point metal cut! Is he the new Apprentice Champion?'

Chaos erupted when the shaking occurred.

“Hahaha, this is awesome! Good, Lu Ming!” Xie Kuang laughed out loud as he recovered from his shock. He's very happy.

When Yin Kai returned with only 400 points, Xie Kuang thought that the Vermillion Bird Hall would bid farewell to the Apprentice Champion title again. In addition to losing 30 spiritual crystals from Duanmu Jin, he also had to endure the relentless ridicule from Duanmu Jin.

Now that Lu Ming had a 500-point piece of metal, it revived the hope in Xie Kuang.

“Lu Ming! This is Lu Ming again! Can none of our Duanmu experts kill this Lu Ming?” Duanmu Jin was greatly shocked as he looked at Lu Ming in disbelief. When he finally regained consciousness, he sneered, “What makes you so happy, Xie Kuang? Perhaps Lu Ming was lucky enough to obtain a 500-point piece of metal by chance. Maybe that's all he's got. Do you think he can win with just a 500-point piece of metal?”

“We will know it after we calculate the points,” replied Xie Kuang.

“Do you think you can defeat me with just a 500-point piece of metal? Take a good look,” Huang Yu said coldly as a pile of metal pieces appeared on the table with a wave.

'That much?!'

Everyone's gazes froze as they realized that Huang Yu's pile was much larger than Xie Hong's.

706 points.

Huang Yu gained 706 points.

Gasp!

A sharp breath spread throughout the area.

“He managed to earn such points even without the 500 points metal pieces! Who said he wouldn't be the Apprentice Champion?”

"Not bad! No one had ever heard of this Lu Ming before, so I don't think he came from a noble family. Without anyone collecting points for him, it was impossible for him to earn more than 200 points!”

Everybody's talking about it.

"Big!" The guiding elder of the Azure Dragon Hall laughed happily.

“Heh heh!” Duanmu Jin sneered and said, “Xie Kuang, so what if Lu Ming gets a 500-point metal cut? I told you you celebrated too early. If a piece of trash is lucky enough to only get a 500-point piece of metal, he still can't win.”

“Hah, then let's see.” Xie Kuang let out a cold snort, but deep down, he was very unsure.

Xie Kuang knew about most of the new disciples of Vermillion Bird Hall, but he had never heard of Lu Ming's name.

Lu Ming casually looked at everything that had happened with a faint smile on his face. Surprisingly he calmed down as he walked to the counter. Lu Ming looked at Huang Yu and said indifferently, “Then, take a good look, if that's what you want to do.”

In waves, a large pile of high-value pieces of metal fell onto the table.

From the look of his stack, it looked much larger than Huang Yu's stack.

'S-so much?'

Eyes popped out of their sockets and some people almost bit their tongues as they gawked at the pile of metal pieces on the table.

Feng Wu, who was almost the entire time with Lu Ming gaped without a sound. He naturally did not expect Lu Ming to have many high-value pieces of metal.

When did that happen?

“Self Defense, can you help me count?” Lu Ming had the person in charge count the points because he was still in shock.

The person in charge regained consciousness and began to count.

With 724 points, other than the 500-point metal cut, Lu Ming had a total of 1,224 points! Lu Ming had not searched for more valuable pieces of metal in the past two days. Instead, he spent most of his time cultivating so that his cultivation had a stronger foundation.

His astonishing 1,224 points left everyone dumbfounded with their mouths agape.

This is really surprising. Even without a 500-point metal cut, Lu Ming still had more points than Huang Yu.

With points like this, Lu Ming was undoubtedly the Apprentice Champion.

'How is it possible? How could? I gathered the entire Azure Dragon Hall to collect points, and I spent quite a bit of money to earn points from some others as well. How did Lu Ming get so many points?’ Huang Yu roared with sadness in her head.

"Suck!" Yin Kai clenched his hands tightly in frustration.

“Hahaha, I told you to wait for the official count, Duanmu Jin! Now it's very clear, isn't it?” Xie Kuang was on cloud nine as he laughed out loud and his hand continuously stroked his beard. As he focused his gaze on Lu Ming, he suddenly felt that Lu Ming was a very adorable person.

“Xie Kuang, Lu Ming!” Duanmu Jin clenched his jaw so tightly that his teeth started to rub against it noisily.

“Oh, too, please 30 spiritual crystals, Duanmu Jin!” Xie Kuang added.

"Hold your horse. Not everyone is out yet. Duanmu Jue we're still looking for a way out. How sure are you that Lu Ming won?” Duanmu Jin selfishly wished for Duanmu Jue to create a miracle.

“Elder..Elder Jin, something bad has happened! A loud voice rang out from within the Midnight Forest as a dozen figures rushed out. They are the young experts of the Duanmu Family.

"What the hell is going on? What's the rush? As a member of the Duanmu Family and the Mystical Sword Sect, you should remain calm no matter what, understand?” Duanmu Jin's face darkened as he reprimanded the young experts of Duanmu.

“Where is Duanmu Jue? Why doesn't he come out with you?”
