Chapter 62 The Saint Descends, the Lord of the Manor is Severely Injured!
500,000 credits!
This is almost twice as much as Yunshuiyao.
Yun Shuiyao achieved her terrifying score by almost sweeping the top spots on various charts in just three months. But what on earth is Gu Jiancheng's 500,000 points?
"No, that's impossible!"
"How could he have so many points?!"
Huangfu Wentian and Liufeng were both astonished, and then they began to roar even louder.
What they want to see is Gu Jiancheng being expelled because of insufficient credits.
To this end, they even controlled the release of any tasks related to alchemy and talisman refining, attempting to prevent Gu Jiancheng from obtaining academic credits.
But these 500,000 points were undoubtedly a slap in the face for them!
"Hehe, are you satisfied now?"
Su Wanzhi crossed her arms and sneered.
It's incredibly satisfying to see these scions of noble families make fools of themselves.
"There's absolutely no way he could be at the top of the credit list; he must have cheated!"
Once he regained his senses, Huangfu Wentian was practically roaring.
"what happened?"
At this moment, the white-robed elder from Dongling Academy also descended with a group of academy elders.
Upon seeing the updated credit rankings, they couldn't help but rub their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.
"Lord of the Academy, even after arriving at the academy, Gu Jiancheng has not shown any restraint and continues to cheat!"
Huangfu Wentian saw the white-robed old man and the others come down and immediately roared.
Now, we absolutely cannot let Gu Jiancheng solidify this ranking!
"convergence?"
"You previously claimed that Gu Jiancheng cheated with his talisman techniques, but that has already been proven. So why are you talking about him concealing his true intentions?"
At this moment, Shangguan Wuji spoke, which was unusual for him.
"Hmph, Shangguan Wuji, could it be that your Shangguan family has truly been deceived and bewitched by that Gu Jiancheng?"
"Do you now believe that Gu Jiancheng can suddenly obtain 500,000 points?"
Huangfu Wentian directly questioned him.
This time, Shangguan Wuji remained silent.
Although he knew Gu Jiancheng was terrifying, he still couldn't explain how Gu Jiancheng had managed to obtain 500,000 credits without telling anyone.
This is even more outrageous than Gu Jiancheng possessing the cultivation level of the Dao Palace Realm!
"Such a speed at which credits are earned has never been seen in the university before, and it does indeed raise suspicions of cheating!"
"As the second prefect, I have the authority to investigate this matter."
"Therefore, Gu Jiancheng's first place in academic credits will not be counted for the time being!" At this moment, the white-robed elder also spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shuiyao and the others' expressions changed drastically. How was this fair to Gu Jiancheng?
"Hehe, no need to check, Gu Jiancheng's score is perfectly fine."
But at that moment, a sound suddenly arose from the void.
The white-robed elder was slightly taken aback, and then saw the Master of the Scripture Pavilion walk out of the void and hover in front of the credit stone tablet.
"The Master of the Sutra Repository?"
The old man in white was taken aback.
Although the master of the Sutra Repository has been at the Dongling Academy for many years, he has almost never left the Sutra Repository.
Even he, the second lord of the manor, had only met him a few times.
Who would have thought that he would come down the mountain for Gu Jiancheng?
"Yes, I gave Gu Jiancheng 500,000 points."
Sun Miaoqing spoke softly, like an orchid untouched by worldly affairs.
Huangfu Wentian and Liufeng Gongzi exchanged glances. The sudden arrival of the Scripture Pavilion Master had caught them completely off guard.
“Master of the Scripture Pavilion, I don’t quite understand this statement.”
The old man in white slightly cupped his hands in greeting.
He certainly wouldn't give up so easily.
Do you need me to explain it more clearly?
“Gu Jiancheng translated 105 ancient bamboo slips by himself, and according to the regulations, he should receive 500,000 credits,” the Master of the Sutra Repository continued to explain.
"What? One hundred and five ancient bamboo slips have been translated? How is that possible?" The white-robed elder and the others were shocked upon hearing this.
Unexpectedly, this is how Gu Jiancheng acquired his 500,000 credits.
However, translating ancient texts is extremely difficult, and Sun Miaoqing was invited from the Western Regions by the Lord of the Prefecture to serve as the head of the Sutra Repository because she possessed this ability.
However, given Sun Miaoqing's abilities, it would take at least a year to translate hundreds of ancient bamboo slips.
How could Gu Jiancheng suddenly translate so much?
"Hehe, what, does Lord Wu doubt me?"
A cold, sharp glint appeared between the brows of the Scripture Pavilion Master.
Her cultivation level was already above that of the white-robed elder, so the latter couldn't help but tremble slightly and quickly cupped his hands, "No, no, no, of course I wouldn't dare!"
"However, as the second head of the academy, I still need to address the reasonable questions raised by the other students."
"Where is Gu Jiancheng now? May I ask him a few questions?"
However, after being glared at by Huangfu Wentian, the white-robed elder had no choice but to continue.
Sun Miaoqing narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, then sneered, "He went to the Hundred Refinement Tower."
"The Tower of Hundred Refinements?"
But at this moment, it was Yunshuiyao who was the first to change color.
The Hundred Refinement Tower of Dongling Academy has reached the thirty-third level, and even the simplest one is the tenth level, which requires the combat power of the peak Core Formation stage to pass.
So, Gu Jiancheng is disregarding his spirit-suppressing body?
"Hehe, then let's go to the Hundred Refinement Tower and wait there. Anyway, he can't hide for long!"
Huangfu Wentian chuckled and then led everyone straight to the Hundred Refinement Tower.
In his view, Gu Jiancheng was definitely cheating, and he only went to the Hundred Refinement Tower because he was afraid to confront him!
Today, he will make Gu Jiancheng reveal his true colors!
"Buzz!"
Before everyone could set off, the void above the Dongling Academy suddenly rippled with the energy of the magic array.
A terrifying pressure instantly spread, stirring up a fierce wind.
The Scripture Pavilion Master and the white-robed elder's expressions changed drastically. The next moment, a figure covered in blood fell from the magic array.
"Lord of the Manor!?"
The old man in white and the others were stunned for a moment, then turned pale with shock.
The one who fell was none other than the First Lord of the Manor, who had been away from the manor for more than three months!?
"The beast calamity has descended; eliminate it swiftly..."
But after the Scripture Pavilion Master and the others arrived, the First Palace Master only said one sentence before completely fainting!
"A calamity of beasts has descended?"
Although it was only eight words, it caused the expressions of all the Dao Palace Realm elders present to change drastically.
The phrase "Beast Calamity" has not appeared for thirty years!
That was their deepest, most intense fear, hidden in the depths of their hearts.
"The Lord of the Manor was indeed injured by the powerful Beast King."
The Scripture Pavilion Master bent down to examine him and said in a deep voice, "However, he is only seriously injured, and his life is not in danger."
"But what did the Lord of the Manor mean by the impending beast calamity?"
An elder from the academy frowned.
Now that the lord of the manor is in a coma, they cannot know any more.
Boom boom boom!
But at that moment, a deafening sound of war drums suddenly rose from the depths of the academy, so fast and terrifying that everyone was filled with fear, as if the end of the world had come.
"All academies and sects in the Eastern Region, heed my command! I am Mu Chenzhou of the Dingtian Holy Land. Through the Holy Land's treasured surveillance, the beastly energy in the Desolate Continent is unusually strong, and there is a fear that a Level One Beast Calamity is about to descend. Therefore, I hereby order all academies, sects, and cultivators to suppress the beast threat!"
"No delays allowed!"
At this moment, a figure with white hair and beard, resembling an ancient immortal, appeared in the sky above the academy.
Although it was just a phantom projection, it was thousands of feet tall, like a mountain.
He looked down upon the earth, exuding supreme majesty!
"Senior Mu Chenzhou, one of the Two Saints of Dingtian?"
As the illusory figure gradually dissipated, the academy elders looked at each other, finally regaining their senses.
Mu Jiuzhou is at the Saint level, far surpassing them in cultivation.
Now that even this person's projection has descended upon Dongling Academy, the arrival of the Beast Calamity is now a fact!
