Chapter 299: 2000 Contribution Points in Half a Day? The Holy Son Vows to Flatten the Trial Tower!

Jiang Yun's calm yet resolute words.

Were like a stone thrown into water.

But they did not demonstrate his determination as he had intended.

Instead, they instantly stirred up even greater waves of ridicule.

"Hahaha! Did you hear that? He said it's not difficult? And he'll go earn them now?"

The leading youth from the Feng Family seemed to have heard the funniest joke of the year, laughing so hard he doubled over, pointing at Jiang Yun, tears almost streaming from his eyes.

"Truly, the ignorant are fearless! A country bumpkin is just a country bumpkin. He probably has no idea what 2000 contribution points even mean in Sky Dome Academy!"

One of his lackeys immediately chimed in.

Sneering in a sarcastic, mocking tone:

"Young Master Feng, why bother explaining to such an uncouth hick? They probably don't even know what an S-rank mission is! An S-rank mission is so difficult it requires multiple Amethyst Rank combatants or an elite squad to even dare accept it, and completing it only yields 500 contribution points! 2000 points is the equivalent of four full S-rank missions! Them? They'd probably struggle with even a B-rank mission! Hahaha!"

Another lackey also scoffed.

"Exactly! 'Go earn them now'? He says it as easily as picking up stones by the roadside! I bet they don't even know the threshold of the Mission Hall and are just spouting nonsense here! Utterly laughable!"

Unrestrained laughter echoed through the hall.

Filled with condescending superiority and undisguised contempt.

Upon hearing this, the Elder in charge also frowned deeply, his gaze towards Jiang Yun shifting from a sliver of doubt born from Jiang Yun's bearing to a disapproving shake of his head.

His tone grew heavier.

Carrying a hint of an Elder admonishing a Junior.

"Young man, having confidence is good, but one must never aim too high and become arrogant! The acquisition of contribution points is the foundation of the Academy's motivation for students and measurement of contribution; every single point is hard-earned. 2000 contribution points is by no means easy for new students like you, and certainly cannot be achieved overnight. Keeping your feet on the ground is the Righteous Path."

Seeing Jiang Yun's expression remain calm, seemingly not heeding the advice, his heart grew even more disappointed, feeling this young man was probably letting some talent go to his head, becoming arrogant and failing to recognize reality.

Facing these taunts and admonitions, Jiang Yun did not get angry, nor did he rush to refute or explain.

He merely swept his calm gaze over the three arrogantly laughing Feng Family disciples, finally looking at Elder Li. His tone remained steady, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

"I appreciate your concern, Elder. However, I have my own judgment in this matter."

He paused briefly.

Clearly stating his decision.

"Half a day. In half a day, I will return here with 2000 contribution points to complete the registration for Longxiang Pavilion."

As these words left his mouth.

The hall fell silent for an instant.

Then erupted into even more intense roars of laughter and exclamations of disbelief!

"Half a day?! Is he insane?!"

"My heavens! Earning 2000 contribution points in half a day? Who does he think he is? The Academy Head? Does he think he can just get contribution points whenever he wants?"

"Even those monsters in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking would find it nearly impossible to earn 2000 points purely from missions in half a day! Unless they completed some super hidden mission or..."

"Idle daydreaming! Absolutely idle daydreaming! This boast is way too outrageous!"

"This kid from C City, did he get too stimulated and lose his mind?"

Even the Elder was stunned speechless by Jiang Yun's declaration of extreme arrogance.

He opened his mouth.

Only managing a deep, helpless sigh after a long moment.

His gaze towards Jiang Yun now carried a touch of regret, the feeling that this youth was beyond teaching.

In his view.

This young man had been completely blinded by so-called pride and impulse, utterly losing his basic judgment.

"Young man."

Elder Li's voice carried weariness.

"Forget it, this old man won't advise you further. Empty boasts are meaningless."

He picked up the Jade Slip on the table that recorded the Longxiang Pavilion information.

"According to procedure, I will temporarily submit this application information to the pending review list. By the rules, new group application information can be retained for seven days. Within those seven days, as long as you gather the 2000 contribution point registration fee, you can come at any time to formally activate the registration. The group's founding date will be counted from the activation day."

He paused again.

Unable to resist adding one more sentence.

His tone tinged with a trace of pity.

"Seven days... perhaps for you, even a month might not be enough to gather it. Young man, take care."

The Feng Family youth was now laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up.

Pointing at Jiang Yun, his voice sharp and biting.

"Half a day? Hahaha! Good, good, good! We'll wait! We'll wait and see how you slink back here in disgrace after half a day!"

He shot a meaningful glance at a lackey beside him.

"A Chang, follow them. Take a good look at where our C City Prodigy, whose boasts are bigger than the sky, plans to conjure up these 2000 contribution points! Don't let him try to steal or rob them! Haha!"

The lackey called A Chang understood.

A mocking smile appearing on his face.

He nodded.

And quietly retreated to the shadows outside the hall.

Jiang Yun seemed oblivious to all of this.

He merely gave Elder Li a slight nod.

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder. See you in half a day."

Having said that.

He no longer looked at anyone.

Turned around, his steps composed and resolute.

And walked towards the hall's exit.

Though filled with doubts and worries, Zhao Tiezhu, Lin Kuo, and Xiao Yutian, seeing Jiang Yun so determined, could only suppress their unease and hurriedly follow.

Watching Jiang Yun's tall yet slightly aloof back disappear through the hall entrance, Elder Li stood in place, brow slightly furrowed, a flicker of confusion in his aged eyes.

This youth... he pondered inwardly.

Facing such mockery and doubt.

He could actually maintain such calm composure all along.

This Heart-Nature... doesn't seem feigned.

And moreover... he seems to be the core of these four, the others all follow his lead... Could it be... he truly has some unknown backing or method?

But this thought had just risen when he dismissed it himself.

He shook his head.

Smiled wryly and put away the Jade Slip.

Half a day.

2000 contribution points... Unless he discovered some unrecorded ancient Treasure Trove, or instantly completed several backlogged super S-rank missions... But how is that possible?

Even the Qian Family's Qianji Pavilion might not have such capability.

Forget it, young people always need to hit a wall before they know to turn back.

C City... Alas!

What a pity for such proud spirit.

The other few students watching the spectacle also dispersed, mostly treating the matter as today's amusing anecdote, with no one believing Jiang Yun could do it.

The Feng Family youth looked in the direction Jiang Yun left, the mockery on his face gradually fading, but his brows slightly furrowed.

He stroked his chin.

Said to another lackey beside him: "A'Li, don't say... the more I look at that leading kid, the more familiar he seems. As if... I've seen him somewhere?"

The lackey called A'Li also nodded in agreement.

"Young Master Feng, I have that feeling too. Especially his eyes, they're so calm it's a bit frightening... I feel like I've seen that kind of look somewhere, but can't recall for the moment."

The Feng Family youth snorted derisively.

Waved his hand dismissively.

"Who cares! Some country bumpkin from C City, even if we've seen him somewhere, it was probably some insignificant occasion. So what if he looks familiar? Can he turn the world upside down? Keep a close eye on them! I want to see what tricks they can pull! Half a day... Hmph, I'll wait for the joke!"

"Yes! Young Master Feng!"

...Outside the hall, the sunlight was bright.

Jiang Yun led Zhao Tiezhu and the other two.

Not heading in the direction of the Mission Hall.

Nor did Jiang Yun return to the Holy Son Courtyard.

Instead, he walked towards another area of the Academy.

Zhao Tiezhu and the other two followed silently behind.

Their moods complex.

Jiang Yun's earlier words were certainly inspiring.

But thinking about it calmly now.

2000 contribution points in half a day... This was simply a fantasy!

Their hearts were filled with worry, guilt, and a trace of bewilderment.

What exactly did Jiang Yun plan to do?

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy and awkward.

Zhao Tiezhu hesitated repeatedly.

Finally couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Moving up beside Jiang Yun.

Lowering his voice.

His honest face full of concern.

"Jiang Yun..., what you said earlier... wasn't it a bit too...? 2000 contribution points, half a day... This..."

He paused.

Trying to make his tone sound more positive.

"How about... we just follow the normal steps! We can split up, take on the hardest, most laborious F-rank and E-rank missions, make a few more trips, and we can slowly save up! It might just take a long time, but it's better than..."

Lin Kuo and Xiao Yutian also looked up.

Gazing at Jiang Yun.

Though they didn't speak, the meaning in their eyes was clear.

They also didn't believe Jiang Yun could gather 2000 contribution points in half a day, but they were willing to follow Jiang Yun, endure hardship, and accumulate slowly.

Jiang Yun stopped walking.

Turned to look at the three.

A faint yet confident smile appeared on his face, a smile that seemed to possess a magical quality, instantly soothing some of the anxiety in their hearts.

"Iron Pillar, Brother Lin, Brother Xiao,"

Jiang Yun's voice was calm and powerful.

"Do you trust me?"

The three were stunned.

Then nodded without hesitation.

In this Sky Dome Academy.

If they didn't trust Jiang Yun, who else could they trust?

"Since you trust me, then just follow me."

Jiang Yun said with a smile.

"If I say half a day, then it's half a day. And, it's not just that 2000 point registration fee..."

His gaze swept over the three.

Carrying a hint of encouragement.

"Perhaps, you can also come along and earn a decent amount of contribution points for yourselves."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the three.

Were even more confused, exchanging bewildered glances.

They could also earn contribution points?

A decent amount?

"Jiang Yun, tell me honestly, we... where exactly are we going? What are we going to do?"

Zhao Tiezhu couldn't help but ask.

His curiosity thoroughly piqued.

Lin Kuo and Xiao Yutian also pricked up their ears.

Jiang Yun's gaze fell upon the depths of the Academy.

In the direction marked as the trial zone on the map in his memory.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He slowly spoke.

Uttering five words.

"Myriad Beast Trial Tower."
