31: Ye Kong, breaking the record

Inside a large hall, dozens of men in black tight-fitting clothes sat.

At this moment, they realized that the failure of this mission was due to a human youth.

They had never imagined that such a Prodigy would appear among humans, capable of even slaying a Golden Lion.

Ye Kong?

He must be at least Dao-Grade.

Otherwise!

How could he possess such immense power at such a young age?

The cloaked man sat at the head of the table.

Although his face was not visible,

his hands were clenched into fists.

This showed how furious he was about the failure of his plan.

“Place this guy, Ye Kong, as the number one on the Myriad Races Wanted List,” the cloaked man said in a deep voice.

The dozen or so cloaked figures all looked surprised.

On the Myriad Races Hunt List, people below the Martial King realm were very rare.

Even so,

these Sons of Heaven were all exceptionally gifted individuals.

They would only appear at the very end of the Yellow Ranking.

For him to be ranked on the Yellow Ranking at his age, and in the first position at that,

this was the first time they had heard of it.

From this point of view,

how enraged was this?

How great was Ye Kong’s potential?

...Meanwhile, on the other side.

At this moment, the Li Family’s Patriarch already knew and was waiting for the assessment results.

This time, everyone knew about the unified examination in the Thirty-Six Cities.

The foreign races had destroyed the teleportation array specifically to kill the examinees.

He couldn't help but worry about the safety of his second son.

He was still aware of this point.

Ye Kong was the murderer who killed his son.

He couldn't help but think, 'This guy better not die just like that.'

If that person died just like that, that would be too good.

He must kill him with his own hands and tear him into ten thousand pieces to avenge his son.

More than five hours later, as the sun set, the group arrived at the First Battlefield again.

By now, their injuries had mostly recovered.

Many students watched this scene nervously.

After all, this assessment had already ended.

A total of over 3,700 people passed the assessment.

They wondered what the results of this assessment would be.

On the high platform, all the Deans, Vice Deans, and Shangguan Xiu looked at Ye Kong.

Under the gaze of countless experts,

Ye Kong remained calm.

Seeing Ye Kong’s reaction, everyone was greatly surprised.

Typically, young people would be very nervous when they saw them.

Now,

Ye Kong remained unfazed under the gaze of a group of experts.

It could only be said that his character was not so easy to deal with.

A moment later, Wei Yanfang stepped forward and said loudly:

“This assessment was interrupted due to the foreign races’ conspiracy.

However, this assessment of ours is still for the elite of the elite; only 1,200 people can pass the assessment, and the rest must go to the outer city to complete cultivation missions.”

“What? So, that means 2,500 of us have to participate in the outer city’s cultivation?”

“How could this be? We barely managed to pass this stage.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

“Shut up! Anyone who dares to object will have their spiritual power immediately abolished!”

Wei Yanfang’s voice was full of authority, and an aura like Mount Tai pressed down on everyone.

In an instant,

everyone, including Ye Kong, dared not make a sound.

Everyone fell silent.

“Alright, next I will announce the points ranking for this time, which is for 1,200 people.”

Wei Yanfang cleared his throat and spoke.

Immediately after, a middle-aged teacher walked out, holding a list, presumably of the top 200 for this examination.

“Two thousandth place, Zhang Tian, 200 points!”

“One thousand one hundred ninety-ninth place, Li Guicai, 232 points!”

...The middle-aged man started from the 1,200th place.

Hearing this list, some people were happy, while others looked disappointed.

Especially some students who knew their strength was mediocre, hearing their names weren't even called, felt even more despair.

Only Ye Kong and others remained calm.

As time passed, the middle-aged teacher finally announced his name.

“Ye Hefan, ranked second, 34,800 points.”

Everyone heard that Ye Hefan was ranked second, and they weren't too surprised.

This time,

Ye Kong was undoubtedly first.

But how high was Ye Kong’s score?

Everyone was anticipating it.

“Ye Kong, broke the thousand-year record, 200,000 points.”

When they heard this number, everyone’s eyes widened.

“Holy cow!!”

“Six digits! My goodness!”

Six digits, how terrifying was that?

Even if all of them combined, they wouldn't have half of Ye Kong’s score.

This was a very terrifying number, breaking a thousand-year record.

The several Vice Deans on the high platform stared at Ye Kong in astonishment.

Ye Hefan looked at Ye Kong with even more admiration.

He had been arrogant since childhood.

After all, his Earth-Grade talent made him superior to others from a young age.

Ever since he met Ye Kong, he no longer dared to be negligent.

He knew very well that there was always someone better!

This was a Golden Lion.

Yet, in Ye Kong’s hands, it had no power to resist.

Ye Hefan already felt a sense of looking up to Ye Kong.

Li Xiaolu also looked at Ye Kong with admiration.

She hesitated a little in her heart.

Should she tell Ye Liting about Ye Kong’s abilities?

But if she did,

if Ye Liting really got together with Ye Kong, wouldn't she have no chance at all?

Li Xiaolu was a bit hesitant... “Ye Kong, you killed a Golden Lion and resolved this catastrophe. We have decided to bestow upon you the Martial General Badge!

Furthermore, you can freely choose the academy you wish to join.”

Wei Yanfang’s gaze shifted to Ye Kong.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

One must know that the Martial General Badge was a symbol of honor.

It commanded the power of execution!

Even killing someone in the city would not be an issue.

A Martial General Badge.

Not every Martial General possessed one.

Only those with extremely strong power and who had made significant contributions to humanity were granted it.

Moreover, they could freely join any academy.

This meant that Ye Kong had the opportunity to enter the Great Sage Academy!

It was one of the top academies in the entire educational institution.

It was said that the Geniuses within it were the best from various major cities.

The entire human world had nine provinces.

One province was divided into three prefectures and one hundred and eight cities.

No matter how good one’s talent was,

the Great Sage Academy might not necessarily recruit you.

One can imagine,

how difficult it was to enter this academy?

...Many students looked envious.

But they all believed that Ye Kong deserved it.

After all, with his abilities, obtaining a Martial General Badge was a very normal thing.

Hundreds of people around were filled with envy, jealousy, and even hatred.

They even wondered,

was Ye Kong a descendant of some Hidden Family?
