91: Chapter 91 The Blood Demon Alliance in Action

On the tenth day of the challenge tournament, the rankings were officially locked.

The light screen on the identification badge flickered, and the rankings of all freshmen were set in stone at that moment.

First place: Han Ming; second place: Nangong Li; third place: Li Tianci; fourth place: Gu Lingxi...

Immediately after, the monthly point rewards arrived. Han Ming's badge gained a full 30,000 points, and when added to what he had won from Qian Tong and earned from the Trial Tower, his point balance had broken through to 9.4 million.

9.4 million points.

This number was in a league of its own among the freshmen; even many second and third-year students did not have so many points. Han Ming looked at the number on his badge, his lips curling slightly upward.

With this many points, he had enough to exchange for the resources needed to Breakthrough to Martial Marquis or even Martial King.

Furthermore, he still had the Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Plants fed back from his disciples; he was not lacking in resources for the time being.

The rankings of Lin Fan and Li Xuewei had also improved. Lin Fan surged from 137th to 98th, squeezing into the top 100. Li Xuewei jumped from 183rd to 112th; although she hadn't entered the top 100 yet, her progress was already significant.

Gong Shuting was even more unstoppable, charging from over 1,000th place to over 160th.

As a six-star Martial Master, she relied on True Intent and Heaven Rank Martial Skills to challenge those at higher Realms, causing quite a stir among the freshmen.

Han Ming put away his badge and was preparing to go to the cultivation room when his phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Li Xuewei: "Han Ming, have you heard? The Blood Demon Alliance is hunting our school's students outside the city!"

Han Ming frowned and replied: "What happened?"

"Dozens of freshmen went outside the city to hunt exotic beasts and were killed by people from the Blood Demon Alliance. Even several second-year students, who I heard had the cultivation of Martial Ancestors, were killed. The school has already issued a warning, telling all students to be careful when going outside the city."

Han Ming opened his badge and sure enough, saw a pinned announcement: "The Blood Demon Alliance has been active recently, and multiple students have been attacked outside the city. Students are requested not to leave the city unless necessary. If you must leave, ensure you travel in groups and report to your instructor."

Once the news was out, the entire Modu Martial Arts University was shaken.

"Has the Blood Demon Alliance gone mad? Do they dare to hunt our school's students near Modu?"

"I heard they specifically target those alone; dozens have already died."

"Didn't the school send instructors to protect them in secret?"

"No matter how many instructors there are, they can't manage it all! Hundreds or thousands of students leave the city every day to hunt exotic beasts and do missions; they can't assign an instructor to every single person, right?"

"This batch of freshmen has terrible luck; they ran into this kind of thing right after enrolling."

Listening to the discussions around him, Han Ming's frown deepened. The Blood Demon Alliance choosing to act at this time likely wasn't as simple as targeting ordinary students.

The news of him defeating Nangong Li and reaching the top spot among freshmen had already spread throughout Modu. The Blood Demon Alliance and the Destiny Sect had likely already set their sights on him.

However, Han Ming was not panicked.

With his current strength, combined with his third-level Wind and Thunder True Intent and Heaven Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill, ordinary Martial Ancestors were simply no match for him.

Even against enemies at the Martial General level, he could hold his own for a while.

Moreover, besides the life-saving jade token given by Teacher Xue Muhan, he also had his Cave Heaven space; saving his life in front of an ordinary Martial Saint was not a problem.

"Let's go, to the cultivation room."

Han Ming sent a message to Lin Fan and the others, telling them he would be going into seclusion for a period of time, then left the dormitory.

In the coming days, he intended to Cultivate with all his might, converting the Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Plants he had into his own cultivation.

"Hello, I intend to rent a Heaven-Grade cultivation room for one month."

Soon, Han Ming arrived at the cultivation room management office. It was bustling with people, and it seemed that quite a few people came to rent cultivation rooms every day.

"Eh, isn't that Han Ming? Didn't he just Breakthrough to three-star Martial Ancestor not long ago? Why is he here to rent a cultivation room again?"

"What do you know? I heard he has at least tens of millions of points on him; even if he stayed in an Advanced cultivation room every day, he wouldn't run out. How can he be like us? We have to bitterly earn points every day, and it's good enough if we can rent a cultivation room for a few days a month to Breakthrough."

"Exactly! He has resources when he needs them and talent when he needs it; how can we compare to him?"

Seeing Han Ming enter, the crowd looked at him and began to discuss. Their gazes held envy, jealousy, and a trace of admiration.

"Are there any Heaven-Grade cultivation rooms available?"

Han Ming ignored those people and went straight to the window for renting Heaven-Grade cultivation rooms, asking the staff member inside.

"Yes, there are. How many days would you like to rent?"

The registrar inside was a girl around twenty years old, who was quite excited to see it was Han Ming. Han Ming had quite a few female fans at Modu Martial Arts University now, and this girl was one of them.

"Let's rent it for a month first!"

Han Ming handed over his identification badge.

"Rent... rent for a month?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaowan opened her mouth wide in shock. This was a Heaven-Grade cultivation room! She couldn't even afford to rent it for a day. Seeing the point balance on Han Ming's badge, her gaze toward him was filled with even more envy—this was over 9 million points! She thought to herself that if she were his girlfriend, it would be great; not only was he handsome and talented, but he also had endless cultivation resources. She dared not go outside the city to hunt exotic beasts, so she took this task of registering at the cultivation room management office, earning only 100 points a day. It was hard to save up 10,000, let alone millions.

"What's wrong?"

Han Ming didn't know she had thought so much, and seeing her delay in processing it for him, he frowned and asked.

"Oh... oh, it will be done soon!"

Zhao Xiaowan finally came to her senses, her face flushing red as she hurriedly helped Han Ming with the registration.

"Student Han Ming, this is the token for cultivation room 301. I... can we exchange contact information?"

Zhao Xiaowan finished the registration, deducted the 30,000 points, and handed the cultivation room token and identification badge back to Han Ming, asking with some hesitation.

"Sure."

Han Ming didn't refuse; after all, who would refuse a beautiful girl who actively showed interest in him?

"Yay, thank you, Student Han! My name is Zhao Xiaowan; you can just call me Xiaowan."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaowan jumped up in excitement, took out her own badge, tapped it against Han Ming's, and added him as a friend.

Seeing this, several girls nearby were incredibly envious and rushed over to add Han Ming as a friend, scaring Han Ming into quickly taking his identification badge and cultivation room token, and fleeing the cultivation room management office as if escaping.

These women were too terrifying.

Han Ming entered the cultivation room and did not rush to Cultivate, but instead asked the System to open his interface.

[Host: Han Ming] [Age: 19] [Qi and Blood Value: 3,682,800 points] [Realm: Three-Star Martial Ancestor] [Talent: Hunyuan Divine Body (SS-Rank Profound Ice Spirit Body, SS-Rank Wind-Thunder Spirit Body, SS-Rank Heaven-defying Comprehension, SSS Heavenly Fire God Body)] [True Intent: Wind and Thunder True Intent Level 3, Fire True Intent Level 2, Ice True Intent Level 1, Water True Intent Level 1] [Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Dao Scripture (Immortal Rank)] [Martial Skill: Wind-Thunder Palm (Perfection), Wind and Thunder Heaven-Suppressing Fist (Major Achievement), Star-Shattering Finger (Perfection), Water Shadow Step (Perfection), Cloud Treading Step (Major Achievement), Fire Dragon Burning Heaven (Major Achievement), Star-Stepping Moon-Chasing Step (Major Achievement)] [Current Disciple Quota: 5 / 5] [Bound Disciples: Lin Fan (Four-Star Great Martial Master), Li Xuewei (Three-Star Great Martial Master), Gong Shuting (Six-Star Martial Master), Ye Yunfeng (Two-Star Martial Ancestor), Nangong Li (Three-Star Martial Ancestor)]

"Eh, my Physique actually fused and became the Hunyuan Divine Body?"

Looking at his interface, Han Ming exclaimed in surprise.

Not only had his Physique changed, but the Cultivation Techniques fed back—although he still remembered them and could Cultivate them—were no longer displayed by the System, having merged into the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture.

The low-rank Martial Skills he had previously cultivated to Perfection were also gone, but he could still perform them.

He didn't dwell on it any longer, sat cross-legged, and with a wave of his hand, a number of Medicinal Pills appeared before him, and he began to consume them to focus on cultivating.
