Chapter 309 A contribution of 7,500! Even chickens and dogs can rise to heaven?!

That aged and majestic voice from the Void Realm.

Was like thunder falling from the Nine Heavens.

Every word smashed heavily onto the lake of everyone's hearts.

Stirring up monstrous waves.

"Additional reward for Jiang Yun! Five thousand contribution points!"

After a brief, suffocating silence, the entire Trial Plaza, like an icy lake plunged into boiling magma, erupted!

"Five... five thousand?! Is there something wrong with my ears?!"

"The Dean rewarded him personally! An extra five thousand! Plus the previous... My goodness! Seven thousand five hundred and fifty contribution points?!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap, crap, crap! Seven thousand five hundred and fifty! I've been working my ass off doing missions in the academy, living frugally for a year, and I can't even save half that amount!"

"Five thousand... How many good things can five thousand contribution points buy? An Transcendent Rank skill copy? Ten bottles of top-grade Gold Rank Medicinal Pills? Or renting an Advanced Cultivation room for several months? I don't even dare to imagine!"

"Crazy! This reward system is crazy, right?! No, the Deans are crazy! No... the whole world is crazy!"

"Tch! If you're so good, you do it! If you could slay an Amethyst rank as a Gold Rank Four and break a thousand-year record, let alone five thousand, the Dean might even personally take you as a Personal Disciple!"

"Screw you! Is that something a normal person can do? Only a monster among monsters like Sacred Student Jiang Yun could do it, and only he deserves this treatment!"

"SSS-Rank Talent... Heavenly Saint Student... Slaying an Amethyst rank... and now this unprecedented huge reward... I finally understand what Genius treatment and Prodigy privileges mean! We and him are simply from different worlds!"

Sounds of shock, wild shouting, screaming, and gasps of cold air almost blew the roof off the plaza.

Countless gazes focused on Jiang Yun.

Filled with unspeakable envy, jealousy, and deep awe.

Seven thousand five hundred and fifty contribution points!

This number was like a glittering golden mountain, weighing down on many Common students until they couldn't breathe; it was a wealth they might not reach in years, or even their entire academy career!

The Earth Ranking geniuses who had barely managed to stay calm before were now completely moved.

They might have been able to comfort themselves about the two thousand five hundred and fifty points by calling it good luck or a record-breaking feat, as it wasn't a massive amount of contribution points to them.

They had been at Sky Dome Academy for at least a year.

Over the past year, they had completed many missions, large and small, accumulating quite a few contribution points, with savings now reaching two or three thousand points!

Thus, 2550 contribution points weren't that many, barely enough to surprise them.

But a full seven thousand five hundred and fifty points?

This had already exceeded the scope of a reward and could almost be seen as a heavy investment and a clear signal from the academy's upper management regarding Jiang Yun's future potential!

It was practically telling everyone openly.

Jiang Yun was the Prodigy that Sky Dome Academy was cultivating with all its might and focusing on intently; all previous promises held true.

The expressions of some top-tier Earth Ranking prodigies shifted.

Their gazes became complicated to the extreme.

This huge sum was enough for Jiang Yun to exchange for a large amount of precious resources in a short time, raising his strength to another level!

The gap between them and Jiang Yun, which had already narrowed because of that battle, would likely be further shortened or even overtaken with the support of these resources!

In the shadows.

Lin Xinmu, who had been watching everything with cold eyes, had his pupils suddenly contract to the size of needlepoints upon hearing "five thousand contribution points"!

His hands, clasped behind his back, clenched tightly.

His knuckles let out an overburdened creaking sound.

Veins bulged on the back of his hands.

"Seven thousand five hundred and fifty..."

He silently repeated the number in his heart.

A wicked fire, mixed with shock, jealousy, anger, and a strong sense of crisis, surged into his heart.

As rank sixty-eight on the Heaven Ranking.

He was naturally quite wealthy, but seven thousand five hundred contribution points was by no means a small sum; it would require him to complete several high-difficulty missions to gather.

Yet Jiang Yun.

This country boy who had been in the academy for less than two days had obtained it easily just by entering the Trial Tower once, even surpassing him!

More importantly.

It was the academy's attitude represented by these massive contribution points!

Such blatant favoritism and resource tilting.

Meant the academy already viewed Jiang Yun as a core seed that must be supported with all their might!

And between him and Jiang Yun.

There was still a highly anticipated duel!

"I can't wait any longer... I must become stronger faster! The slot for the Molten Cavern... I must get it! He must not get the Opportunity inside!"

Lin Xinmu gave a final sinister look at Jiang Yun, who was surrounded by the crowd, then his figure quietly merged into the shadows, departing like a ghost.

He felt an unprecedented sense of urgency and threat.

He even somewhat regretted his initial provocation.

Zhao Tiezhu, Lin Kuo, and Xiao Yutian.

Were now completely dumbfounded.

Their minds were a complete blank.

Their mouths were agape, their eyes wide and round, as they looked at Jiang Yun's back and then at the crazed crowd around them, feeling as if they were in a bizarre dream.

"Seven... seven thousand... five hundred and fifty?"

Zhao Tiezhu counted on his fingers.

He counted several times but couldn't get it straight.

His voice was as airy as if he were talking in his sleep.

"The most contribution points I've ever seen in my life... is today..."

Lin Kuo muttered.

Feeling his worldview being repeatedly crushed and reshaped.

Zhao Tiezhu pinched his thigh hard.

He winced in pain, confirming it wasn't a dream.

"Jiang Yun... is going to hit it big! Are we... are we going to take off with him too?"

An unspeakable excitement and anticipation.

Began to grow wildly in their hearts.

Elder Ge, the Trial Tower manager.

Was also full of shock at this moment.

Fine beads of sweat even broke out on his forehead.

A direct transmission from the Void Realm.

The Dean's decision: an additional reward of five thousand contribution points!

This was an unprecedented first in the academy's history!

It showed just how much importance the upper management placed on Jiang Yun!

He didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

He hurriedly bowed respectfully toward the Void Realm.

"I shall follow the Dean's words!"

Afterward.

He turned to Jiang Yun.

His attitude was even more respectful than before.

His voice even trembled slightly with excitement.

"Lord Sacred Student, according to the calculation, you have received a basic floor reward of one thousand five hundred and fifty contribution points for this tower run, a reward of one thousand contribution points for refreshing the tower's win streak record, plus the Dean's specially approved additional reward of five thousand contribution points, totaling..."

"Seven thousand five hundred and fifty contribution points!"

Holding Jiang Yun's unique token representing his status as a Heavenly Saint Student with both hands, he carefully placed it near the shimmering Formation core at the base of the tower.

Buzz!

A light flashed on the token.

A clear line of golden numbers emerged.

And under everyone's watchful eyes.

From the original 0.

It instantly jumped to.

contribution points! 7550!

Those golden numbers.

Under the sunlight.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes.

Appeared so dazzling!

So blinding!

"Hiss!"

Once again, there was a collective gasp of cold air.

Seeing the change in those numbers with their own eyes.

Had even more impact than hearing the announcement!

"Seven thousand five hundred and fifty... it really arrived!"

"If I could have this many contribution points in my life, it would be worth dying for!"

"Envy! Jealousy! But alas, I just don't have that kind of fate!"

Jiang Yun calmly took back his identity token.

He glanced at the golden numbers.

His heart also settled slightly.

Seven thousand five hundred and fifty points, far exceeding expectations!

Not only was it more than enough to register the Longxiang Pavilion, but he could also keep over five thousand points as precious startup funds and resources to improve his strength, allowing him to exchange for many much-needed resources.

He bowed slightly toward the Void Realm.

His tone was steady.

"Student Jiang Yun thanks the Dean."

No unnecessary words.

His gratitude was just right.

Then.

He no longer paid attention to the still-boiling clamor and the countless burning gazes behind him, walking straight toward the still-dazed trio of Zhao Tiezhu and the others.

"Let's go."

Jiang Yun patted Zhao Tiezhu on the shoulder.

"Ah? Oh! Let's go! Let's go!"

The three of them snapped out of it and hurriedly followed Jiang Yun's lead.

Only then.

Did many people notice the three students beside Jiang Yun, who looked unremarkable and even a bit rustic in their clothing and demeanor.

"Hmm? Who are those three? Why are they following the Sacred Student?"

"Holy crap! What's their background? They can actually walk side-by-side with the Sacred Student? Their relationship doesn't look ordinary!"

"I know them! They seem to be freshmen who came from that remote place, C City, a few days ago. Names like Zhao Tiezhu, Lin Kuo..."

"C City? That rural small town where supposedly nothing happens and there are no decent geniuses?"

"Wait! Don't you guys know yet? Sacred Student Jiang Yun... he's also from C City!"

"What?!! The Sacred Student is also from C City?!"

"My god! How is that possible?! A place like C City could produce such a Prodigy?"

"Rumors really are deadly! Who said C City has no geniuses? Isn't a monster like the Sacred Student a Genius? Holy crap! Then what does that make us from the provincial capital? A trash heap?"

"No wonder they know each other! They're fellow townsmen! That explains it!"

"Hiss... Why didn't I think of interacting with those guys from C City? If I had befriended them earlier, wouldn't I be able to establish a connection with the Sacred Student now?"

"Yeah! With the Sacred Student's talent and the academy's high regard, he's destined to soar! Getting connected with him is like the saying: when a man attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to heaven!"

"Look! The Sacred Student is leading them toward the Academy Affairs Hall! Is he going to do something big?"

"Go, go, go! Follow them and see! Maybe we can find a chance to get on familiar terms!"

"Right, right, right! Maybe we can help with some small favor; even if we can't become close friends, leaving a good impression is fine!"

For a moment, envy, regret, curiosity, and fawning... all sorts of complex emotions permeated the crowd.

Quite a few people actually began to move their feet quietly.

Following behind Jiang Yun's group of four at a moderate distance.

Hoping to find a chance to befriend this newly risen legend.

These discussions.

Naturally reached the ears of Zhao Tiezhu and the others, word for word.

At first.

Under the gaze and talk of so many people.

They felt a bit awkward.

Feeling cramped and inferior.

Subconsciously wanting to lower their heads and hunch their shoulders.

But as they listened.

Their backs.

Straightened up involuntarily.

The constraint and cowardice on their faces.

Were gradually replaced by an unspeakable radiance.

They never imagined.

That simply knowing Jiang Yun and walking with him could draw so much attention and discussion, even changing people's views on the rural small town they came from!

Jiang Yun was like a suddenly rising sun.

Radiating ten thousand beams of light!

And they, the ones closest to him.

Even if they only caught a bit of the afterglow.

Felt warm all over and full of strength!

Their walk.

Unknowingly.

Now had a swagger to it!

Jiang Yun heard and saw all of this but didn't pay it any mind.

He had long since seen through the fickleness of human nature.

This flattery and talk.

Were merely natural byproducts of showing his strength.

He didn't stop, his goal clear.

Now that he had sufficient contribution points.

It was time to finish the matter that had been delayed for a while.

Heading to the Student Group Management Division.

To formally register the Longxiang Pavilion!

However, the Student Group Management Division was already in an uproar.

Because the division's deacon had just received news from the manager who had watched the Sacred Student's tower run at the Trial Tower!

The Sacred Student was coming to their Student Group Management Division!!!
