205: Harvest points

"Whoosh!"

A streak of incandescent sword light tore through the dark red sky, instantly appearing above an area filled with strange, jagged rocks.

Below, a Middle Golden Core Stage Disciple, who was cautiously exploring, felt the light above him dim as a suffocating pressure suddenly descended!

He looked up in horror to see a figure in white standing in mid-air like a god, cold eyes locked onto him!

"Yao... Senior Brother Yao?!"

The Disciple's face turned deathly pale as he instantly recognized this fiend god!

He didn't even dare to harbor a thought of resistance and crushed his jade talisman without hesitation!

A flash of white light, and he was eliminated!

Yao Delong: +1 point.

"Swish!"

The incandescent sword light flashed again, this time appearing at the edge of a dead forest.

A Late Golden Core Stage Disciple was locked in a fierce battle with a Peak-stage five Poison Fire Lizard.

Yao Delong's figure appeared at the edge of the battlefield like a ghost.

"Who?!" the Disciple exclaimed in shock; distracted, he was nearly swept by the Poison Fire Lizard's tail.

Yao Delong didn't even look at the Yao Beast, simply pointing a finger!

Chi!

A condensed golden Sword Qi struck first despite starting later, precisely piercing the Poison Fire Lizard's skull!

The massive Yao Beast crashed to the ground.

Before the Disciple could offer his thanks, Yao Delong's cold gaze fell upon him: "Crush it yourself, or shall I help you?"

The Disciple's expression shifted, and finally, he sighed dejectedly and crushed the jade talisman. The gap was too large!

Yao Delong: +1 point.

"Hum!"

The space fluctuated slightly, and Yao Delong's figure appeared beside a river churning with blood-colored waves.

A good-looking female Disciple (Late Golden Core Stage) wearing a water-blue dress was moving along the riverbank; noticing a fluctuation, she turned around in horror.

"Ah! Yao... Senior Brother Yao!"

The female Disciple was so frightened that her face went pale, and the Spiritual Plant in her hand fell to the ground.

Looking at Yao Delong's expressionless face and feeling that unfathomable aura, she was on the verge of tears.

"I... I..."

Yao Delong frowned slightly; he truly had no interest in such an opponent who was clearly weak and already terrified out of her wits, simply spitting out one word: "Crush."

The female Disciple felt as if she had been granted amnesty and crushed the jade talisman with a sob.

Yao Delong: +1 point.

The entire Secret Realm seemed to have become Yao Delong's personal hunting ground!

He was like a walking, human-shaped Magic Treasure detector, and combined with his terrifying, near-teleportation speed, his efficiency was outrageously high!

Encountering a lone Late Golden Core Stage Disciple? A suppression by his Heart Sword combined with pure Yang Sword Qi forced them to crush their jade talisman within three moves!

Encountering a small team of two or three? He crushed them with overwhelming force; amidst the crisscrossing Sword Qi, white lights flashed repeatedly!

He even encountered a temporary alliance of five people who tried to resist by relying on their numerical advantage.

As a result, Yao Delong's movement technique was like a ghost, weaving between the five; every strike precisely hit the weak points of their Formation, and in less than ten breaths, all five vanished into white light!

On the scoreboard, Yao Delong's name skyrocketed as if riding a rocket!

"Yao Delong, +1 point!"

"Yao Delong, +1 point!"

"Yao Delong, +3 points!"

The bright red number jumped from 5 to 8, then to 12, and finally settled at 15 with jaw-dropping speed!

He topped the rankings! Meanwhile, the second-ranked Lei Qianjun had only just barely reached 8 points!

Liu Ruyan had 7, Zhao Chen had 6, and Xiao Chen... only had 4!

On the main Peak plaza, in front of the massive light screen.

The entire plaza had long since fallen into dead silence, with only the sound of gasps echoing one after another!

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the light grid representing Yao Delong and the glaring "15" on his point board!

Too fast! Too strong! Too domineering!

How was this a survival battle? This was clearly a one-sided point harvest by Yao Delong!

"My heavens... is... is this really the Golden Core Stage?"

"Fifteen points! How long has he been in there? Has it even been an hour?"

"Teleportation! It must be teleportation! Otherwise, how could he find people so quickly and end battles so fast?"

"Look at his attacks; they are clean and efficient, never dragging on! His goal is clear: to force you to crush the jade talisman!"

"Too terrifying! Once targeted by him, you don't even have a chance to resist!"

"This is the true dark horse! No, this is already a Vicious Beast!"

On the high platform, the atmosphere was similarly heavy and subtle.

The Peak Master of Zhuàn Zhèn Peak, Han Yunzhou, stroked his long beard, eyes flashing with brilliance as he exclaimed:

"This child... is truly remarkable! The range of his Divine Sense far exceeds his peers; it is as if he has lit a bright lamp within the Secret Realm, leaving others with nowhere to hide!"

"Combined with that unpredictable teleportation movement technique... his efficiency in earning points is many times higher than others! Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

The other Peak Masters nodded one after another, their faces unable to hide their shock.

The methods Yao Delong displayed had already exceeded their understanding of a Golden Core Cultivator.

However, a voice filled with obvious sarcasm rang out:

"Hmph, he is merely relying on the advantages of his Divine Sense and movement technique to bully those weaker than him! Opportunistic and beneath dignity!"

The one speaking was none other than the Peak Master of Spirit Plant Peak, Luo Baiya.

He wore a scholar's robe and had a gaunt face, but at this moment, his expression was gloomy; looking at the scoreboard where Xiao Chen only had "4" points, he was very displeased.

His words were clearly targeting Yao Delong, attempting to smear his achievements.

The various Peak Masters had different expressions, naturally hearing the sourness in Luo Baiya's words.

The Dan Chenzi was even more furious!

"Bullshit!" The Dan Chenzi slammed the table, his youthful face with crane-white hair full of rage, pointing at Luo Baiya's nose as he cursed:

"Old Ghost Luo! Stop with your snide remarks here! Did the rules state that one cannot eliminate those with lower cultivation?"

"Being able to quickly find opponents and strike precisely is skill! It's still better than your precious Disciple!"

He turned his finger, pointing to another grid on the light screen.

In the scene, the Third Prince, Xiao Chen, was joining forces with four other Disciples with not-weak auras, forming a team.

They had just joined forces to bully the few with the many, forcing a lone Golden Core Perfection Disciple to crush his jade talisman and be eliminated.

"Look! Look at your good Disciple! A dignified prince and Core Disciple, not thinking about a fair and square duel, but instead forming cliques and bullying the few with the many!"

"This is what you call shameless! This is what you call disgraceful!" The Dan Chenzi spat, showing no mercy.

Luo Baiya was exposed in public; his face turned green and white as he argued forcefully:

"Hmph! The rules didn't say one couldn't form alliances! Being able to win others over and form a combined force is also his skill and ability! It's still better than some people who only know how to bully the weak!"

"Bullying the weak? Which of those Kid Yao eliminated wasn't at the Middle or Late Golden Core Stage? He himself is also at the Golden Core Stage! Is this called bullying the weak?"

"Your Disciple brought four people to fight one Golden Core Perfection Disciple; that is what you call bullying the weak! You shameless old thing!"

The Dan Chenzi did not give an inch, and the two continued to argue endlessly.

The Sect Head, White Cloud Master, frowned slightly and gave a light cough: "Alright, both Peak Masters, mind your status. The Disciples are relying on their own methods; as long as they do not violate the rules, everything is permissible."
