Chapter 70: Ranking Monument
“I imagine you all must have seen the bamboo forest in front of you by now. This bamboo forest is called the Sword Forest and is my Wind Sword Sect’s most important piece of land. It is very wonderful. You will know that for yourselves in time. This time, your exam location is in the Sword Forest!”
Elder Jin’s commanding voice rang out. His voice didn’t seem that loud, but it reached every ear very clearly.
“Once you have entered the Sword Forest, every step you take, the Sword Forest will materialize some martial artists. Their strength will start at body refining first level up and will continue to increase, and the number of martial artists you kill will be your exam results. Everyone’s exam results will all be publicly announced.”
As he spoke, Elder Jin grandly waved his hand and suddenly there appeared two objects. These two things were like the flying equipment and once they felt the wind, they began to grow, quickly rising to a few dozen feet tall. They were actually two enormous monuments!
The crowds’ eyes immediately were all attracted towards looking at the two enormous monuments. They didn’t know why Elder Jin had suddenly pulled them out.
Lu Xuan also couldn’t help but look over, his eyes sweeping across the two monuments. He discovered that the surface of one of the monuments was completely blank, without anything on it, and the other monument was completely covered with tiny little words, with exactly 500 names in total!
The names on the monument were written both in large and small fonts. The closer it was to the front, the larger the characters were, especially the first three names, the characters were were sparkling and even if you were far away you could still see it clearly. As for the ones in the back, the font size of the characters were about the size of grains of rice. Only by straining his full vision could Lu Xuan barely see the words clearly.
“First place: Blade faction Xu Wen Yang, 26781 points. Second place: Spear faction Mo Xiao Chen…”
Vision weeping from the first few names, Lu Xuan discovered that after every name there was a score assigned. If he was guessing correctly, these names ought to be all of the names of the current inner sect disciples.
It should be known, Lu Xuan and them were only new budding inner sect disciples, new students, and originally in the Wind Sword Sect there were plenty of older students. It seemed like that list of names should be the disciple’s strength listing. He just didn’t know how the points were assigned.
Suddenly, Lu Xuan’s eyes narrowed, stopping on a name. Eighty-sixth place, Long Tian!
Long Zhan’s eldest son and Long Tai’s older brother’s name was called Long Tian!
He hadn’t thought that Long Tian’s strength, within the entire Wind Sword Sect inner sect disciple population, was enough to enter the top hundred!
The current relationship that Lu Xuan had with Long Tian, was not only an enemy for killing a younger brother, he had even killed his father. The hatred between the two sides could not be settled and there was no chance of reconciliation. If there was an opportunity, Long Tian would kill Lu Xuan in an instant.
As Lu Xuan’s eyes were wavering, Elder Jin’s voice once again rang out.
“These two monuments are used to record all of your results. The blank monument will record the results of all of you new budding disciples. In a while, the scores that you get will all pass through your nameplate and be recorded onto the monument once you come out. And the other monument with names on it has the results of all of my Wind Sword Sect’s disciples recorded on it, including all students new and old!”
Elder Jin’s words indeed confirmed Lu Xuan’s assumptions, and then he continued to speak.
