288 40000 points! (1/2)
Zhou Donghuang, a late Dharma adept of the Lightning Sword Sect, had managed to accumulate over 3000 points just by killing beasts at the late Dharma stage in this year's Alliance Hunt.
What kind of joke was this?
In the history of the entire Alliance Hunt, there had never been any late Dharma adept who had managed to kill more than 300 beasts of his own stage!
”In the history of the Alliance, even for nominated ultimate Dharma adepts, it was rare to hear of someone killing more than 300 ultimate Dharma beasts... Don't forget, the Hunt only lasts for 3 months,” someone said aloud.
”Disciples of the late Dharma stage would first try to kill ultimate Dharma beasts... Could it be that Zhou Donghuang had bad luck and only managed to meet a few ultimate Dharma beasts, and was thus forced to mass kill late Dharma beasts?”
”Well, if that's the case, it would provide a good explanation for this situation.”
”It seems as though Zhou Donghuang's luck was really rather terrible, and he only met many late Dharma beasts but few ultimate Dharma beasts.”
…
Now, a majority of the crowd felt that Zhou Donghuang had chosen to kill many late Dharma beasts due to this reason.
They assumed that Zhou Donghuang had bad luck and only met with very few ultimate Dharma beasts and instead had only come across late Dharma beasts.
”What a pity!”
Even disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect felt pity for him. ”With Zhou Donghuang's talents, unless his luck was truly bad, this would not have been the result that we expected.”
”Brother Donghuang is really too unlucky to have only met with mostly beasts of the late Dharma stage.”
…
Just as the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect were feeling pity for Zhou Donghuang, others were rejoicing secretly at his plight. ”What's the point of being strong? If he has no luck, he is still unable to accumulate many points.”
Among these people was the disciple of the Yuanyin Order, Zhong Chengcai, but many others were people who were unfamiliar with Zhou Donghuang.
All these people had one similarity, which was that they tended to be jealous of those who were better than them, and it did not matter who these individuals were.
The more talented others were, the more jealous they were.
For these people, as they tended to waste time feeling jealous, it affected their training, and this toxic cycle meant that they seldom ended up succeeding in their personal ventures.
Jealousy was indeed a monster, after all.
”Hu Jingshan, do you think that someone's luck could be so horrible that they would meet up to 300 late Dharma beasts but not be able to even meet a few beasts of the ultimate Dharma stage?”
Baili Feiyang rarely spoke first, but this time, he chose to speak up first and seek Hu Jingshan's opinion.
”I think this is rather impossible.”
On the other hand...
Towards the assumptions of the crowd, Zhou Donghuang, the person in question, did not offer any explanation and instead continued to mind his own business and pull beasts out of the space ring in his hand.
Now, he began to take out the brains of beasts that were of the ultimate Dharma stage.
At the start, everyone, including the people of the Lightning Sword Sect, all assumed that Zhou Donghuang would not be able to take out many brains of beasts of the ultimate Dharma stage.
However, as time passed, they were stunned yet again.
This was because, within a short period, Zhou Donghuang had managed to take out over 100 brains of beasts of the ultimate Dharma stage!
Possessing brains of over a hundred beasts of the ultimate Dharma stage, what did this even mean?
According to the rules of the Alliance Hunt, for Alliance disciples of the late Dharma stage, killing one beast of the ultimate Dharma stage and presenting its brain would allow one to gain 100 points.
100 brains of beasts of the ultimate Dharma stage meant that a late Dharma disciple would be able to accumulate a total of 10000 points!
”As I predicted.”
Seeing this, Hu Jingshan smiled. ”My instinct was indeed right… What a fright! Having hundreds of brains of beasts of the ultimate Dharma stage as well over 300 brains of beasts of the late Dharma stage… that's really a sight to behold!”
”There's more…”
Baili Feiyang reminded him at this point.
Indeed, Zhou Donghuang was not done retrieving all the brains in his space ring.
Now, Zhou Donghuang was still slowly retrieving brains from within his space ring, and they were all brains of beasts from the ultimate Dharma stage.
Because of this, those people who were initially shocked now tensed up completely, and their breathing had almost stopped. They watched Zhou Donghuang without a word to see exactly how many beasts of the ultimate Dharma stage he had managed to kill.
”128…”
”136…”
”152…”
…
Now, many people were counting along as Zhou Donghuang continued to retrieve the brains that he had attained from the Guiyao planet, which were all brains of beasts at the ultimate Dharma stage.
”There's 200 now.”
Once the 200th brain appeared before the crowd, everyone felt as if their hearts had been harshly stabbed.
Was this Zhou Donghuang crazy? Would this go on forever?
With the brains that he had already pulled out, his total score would already be around 23000 points!
