Chapter 45: Sword Tower
“Silence!” Elder Sun shouted: “To be able to stand out among this many martial artists, your strengths can be considered as not bad. To express your affirmations, after the end of the assessment, everyone will receive a Bone Cleansing dan as a reward!”
“However, right now the assessment has still not ended. After the assessment has ended, you will all be ranked. The top twenty martial artists, other than the Bone Cleansing dan, you will also receive a Muscle Altering pill! The top ten martial artists will be qualified to enter the inner sect and will receive two Muscle Altering pills! The top three martial artists will be reward with five Muscle Altering pills and the first place martial artist’s reward will be to choose one from a lower grade iron grade equipment, a lower Huang tier martial skill or cultivation technique, and a body refining seventh level pill or lower!”
Elder Sun loudly announced the rewards. Such rich rewards instantly ignited the atmosphere!
Each of the warriors revealed hints of undisguised greed. The rewards were too rich, so rich that none of them were unmoved!
Although it was said that they would receive a Bone Cleansing dan right now, but compared to a Muscle Altering pill, the Bone Cleansing dan’s price was much less. A Bone Cleansing dan was a dan medicine used for body refining fourth level bone cleansing. As for the Muscle Altering pill, it was a dan medicine for body refining fifth level muscle forging realm. There was a ten times difference in price!
If they could enter the top ten, they could directly become an inner sect disciple. The potential for development was far greater than an outer disciple’s. The reward two muscle altering pills didn’t even need to be mentioned.
At this time, those peak body refining fourth level martial artists began warming up. Their aim was naturally to get in the top ten.
As for the top three rewards, although it was even richer, they didn’t dare to long for it. There was Lu Xuan, Long Tai, and Xia Ye there. The top three candidates had already basically been decided.
Xia Ye and Long Tai also couldn’t help but have fire in their eyes. Their goal was to get first place!
But thinking of first place, Xia Ye remembered Lu Xuan by his side and suddenly felt a burst of weakness. Lu Xuan’s momentum was too powerful. He had taken first place in both the first and second round, and had tied with Long Tai for first in the third round. And looking at his appearance, his true combat strength was about there. Perhaps, only Long Tai had a chance of contending with Lu Xuan for first place. After all, Long Tai had taken second place for the strength assessment and tied with Lu Xuan for the perception assessment.
Turning his head to look at Lu Xuan, Xia Ye discovered that Lu Xuan’s expression was very calm. He hadn’t been moved by the rich rewards that Elder Sun announced.
“Hey, Lu Xuan, is your heart not moved at all?” Xia Ye couldn’t help but ask.
Lu Xuan smiled indifferently: “Is my heart moved? Of course my heart’s moved, however, it’s all my stuff. What use is my heart being moved?”
Although he didn’t say his words in a loud voice, but they revealed his unparalleled self-confidence.
Only now did Xia Ye discover that the proudest person wasn’t originally him, nor was it Long Tai, but was Lu Xuan. It was just that, he and Long Tai’s pride was outwardly displayed, while Lu Xuan’s arrogance was kept inside. This was true pride!
Seeing the martial artists’ excited expressions, Elder Sun satisfiedly nodded his head and continued to say: “Although the rewards are rich, but they must be qualified. In the fourth round’s assessment, the true combat assessment, there is no place to cheat. Strength is only one part of it. Also, this round’s results are the most important part for the results. Even if your results from the previous rounds wasn’t too good, if you can do amazingly well in this fourth round, then the final ranking might not be low!”
These words from Elder Sun were obviously a little pointed.
