Chapter 286: Baili Feiyang Has Lost!
“Zhou Donghuang was unlucky this time?”
Furthermore, these words had been personally uttered by the Lightning Sword Sect Leader to the other Sect Leaders?
These words were passed from ear to ear, and almost everyone present was made aware of this matter. “It seems as though this time, it will be hard for Zhou Donghuang to be among the top scorers of the Alliance Hunt.”
“I originally assumed that his score would exceed Baili Feiyang’s and surprise everyone… Well, it seems we have overestimated him.”
“What a pity, what a pity… He has such shocking talents, and yet he will not be able to gain any benefits for himself in the hunt this time.”
“It seems as though Baili Feiyang still has a chance of being the top scorer in the hunt this time, then!”
…
Many people seemed disappointed and sighed at the news.
As for Hu Jingshan, who was standing beside Baili Feiyang, his face first had on a look of confusion before he smiled and spoke to Baili Feiyang, “It seems that it will still be possible for you to be second this time!”
This time, Baili Feiyang chose to ignore these mocking words.
“Luo Qinghan, it seems as though this time, your man won’t have many points… He may even lose to me!”
A disciple of the Jihan Sect, the Sect Leader Meng Yuping’s daughter, Zhong Feng, had somehow materialized by Luo Qinghan’s side and was spouting some infuriating nonsense with a gloating smile on her face.
Previously, Zhong Feng had been extremely jealous when Mo Yitian of the Tiansong Sect had declared that it was love at first sight after meeting Luo Qinghan, as she had liked Mo Yitian for a long time.
Now, Mo Yitian had died due to his attempt to get close to Luo Qinghan, so she hated Luo Qinghan further. She felt that Mo Yitian would have dated and married her instead if he had not died early… Now that Mo Yitian was dead, all her hopes and dreams were dashed.
In such a situation, when she thought about the fact that Luo Qinghan was Zhou Donghuang’s woman, she began to feel an overwhelming sense of jealousy.
Under such circumstances, she finally had a chance to hurt Luo Qinghan while she was down and would naturally not miss this chance.
However, Luo Qinghan ignored Zhong Feng and did not respond at all, no matter how Zhong Feng glared at her with a look of absolute hatred.
“His luck was not good?”
Now, even the most authoritative figure there, the Deputy Alliance Leader and the mid Divine Transformation elder, had on a look of disappointment on his face after hearing the words of Lightning Sword Sect Leader Yu Yucheng.
As for the middle-aged man who had intended to count up Zhou Donghuang’s results first, he chose not to speak and instead instructed the staff under him to follow the line-up order and start tabulating the scores.
Zhou Donghuang stood with He Mengxi and Da Zhuang towards the back.
As the results were being tabulated, the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect all received average results that were not that noticeable. The attention of the crowd slowly waned, and they did not really focus on the sect’s disciples as they were no longer interested in Zhou Donghuang’s scores.
Since his luck was bad, it could be inferred that he did not accumulate many points. He would then probably be defeated by Baili Feiyang of the Red Leaves Sect and even by Ximen Wanwan of the Colored Glass Sect!
His own disciples had gone up only to receive average results, and his sect was losing the interest of the crowd. This, along with hearing the repeated condolences of the neighboring Sect Leaders, caused Yu Yucheng to squeeze out a smile, but he felt extraordinarily bitter and frustrated inside.
When they had left for the Alliance Hunt, spirits were high, and they had been extremely confident.
Now, they looked extremely pitiful.
“So what if Zhou Donghuang doesn’t have any significant results in this Alliance Hunt? His powers and his talent are definitely unbeatable and rare among his entire generation!”
As he thought to this point, Yu Yucheng was at least able to console himself to some extent.
“Little brother, I’ll go first.”
It was Zhou Donghuang, Da Zhuang, and He Mengxi’s turn. He Mengxi first stepped forward. At the same time, she glanced lightly at the crowd, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Today, the Lightning Sword Sect would still capture the spotlight no matter what, even if her younger brother’s luck was not good, and he had not gained many points.
He Mengxi stepped forward, and Zhou Donghuang did not stop her, smiling instead as a gesture of acknowledgment. At the same time, those disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect, who had already received their results, turned to give Zhou Donghuang a meaningful glance and smiled bitterly to themselves as they looked away.
They had initially assumed that this time, Zhou Donghuang would bring much honor and glory to the Lightning Sword Sect during this Alliance Hunt. However, due to his bad luck, this was probably impossible for them.
From the start to the end, Zhou Donghuang’s face did not betray any emotion.
Nevertheless, they believed the words spoken by the Sect Leader and had assumed that the lack of Zhou Donghuang’s comment meant that it was the truth.
Well, if they had been in Zhou Donghuang’s shoes, even if they had received poor results due to bad luck, they would also choose not to refute their Sect Leader’s words and would instead accept the results.
“Zhou Donghuang, so what if you stole my two ultimate Dharma beasts? In the end, it’s not like you received an outstanding score!”
The disciple of the Yuanyin Order, Zhong Chengcai, now smiled mockingly at Zhou Donghuang, and his eyes were filled with murderous rage and glee. “Don’t let me find an opportunity to fight you… Or else, I’ll definitely send you to your grave!
“Although I may not be of equal standing as you, I still have people supporting me who could kill you with one slap!”
The previous matter, as well as Zhou Donghuang’s repeated incidents of ignoring him, had led to the anger boiling within Zhong Chengcai. He now had murderous intent floating in his mind.
As of now, about 80 to 90 percent of the crowd was now no longer focused on the Lightning Sword Sect’s disciples.
To them, since Zhou Donghuang did not have good results, then the others would definitely not fare any better.
Even the Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, had not said anything when He Mengxi stepped forward before Zhou Donghuang to count up her points.
To him, He Mengxi had indeed improved in terms of skill. Nevertheless, it would still be difficult for her to be one of the top scorers of the Alliance Hunt.
Perhaps, all the points she had received would not even be half of that of Ximen Wanwan from the Colored Glass Sect.
Even if her luck had been good, she probably could not match up to Ximen Wanwan.
As He Mengxi slowly took out the beasts’ brains one by one from her space ring and allowed the person before her to count them, Yu Yucheng sighed to himself and turned his gaze to the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin. “Valley Head He… How many points do you think your daughter will earn this time around?”
“I’m not sure.”
He Jin shook his head. “I questioned her just now, but she only gave me a mysterious smile and did not reveal anything.”
“She was tight-lipped about it?”
Yu Yucheng froze and could not help but smile. “It seems as though this girl has managed to exceed her expectations in this Alliance Hunt… In that case, I wonder if her points will exceed 4000.”
Having 4000 points was a rather decent result, and it was enough to land one among the first few hundred scorers.
“We just need to wait a while to find out!”
He Jin was waiting patiently.
After a while, an excited shout was heard where He Mengxi was, and the entire crowd’s attention was captured again.
The shout had come from the person who was helping He Mengxi remove the brains from her space ring and tabulating the scores. “She’s already at 7000 points!”
“What!?”
“Seven… 7000 points???”
“Her points have exceeded that of Ximen Wanwan… who is she!?”
…
Once there was the exclamation of 7000 points, the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect, who had heard the shout, all turned and looked intensely at the man who was yelling. Once they had identified him, their gaze then turned to the figure of a girl who was standing before him.
“It’s not Zhou Donghuang!”
“Who is she? 7000 points? When did we have such a talented female disciple in the Lightning Sword Sect!?”
“The Lightning Sword Sect has really been hiding some talented individuals… First, there was Zhou Donghuang, now there’s this new female disciple!”
…
Many gazes were now all solely focused on He Mengxi.
As the daughter of the Autumn Valley Head, everyone within the sect was familiar with her. However, within the Alliance, few people actually recognized her… Furthermore, now that He Mengxi’s back was facing the crowd, even those who may have recognized her face would now be puzzled at her identity unless they were very close to her.
“7000 points?”
The Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, was extremely numb with shock and froze. He was just asking He Mengxi’s father for his expectations of his daughter as well as hoping that He Mengxi would at least accumulate 4000 points… But now, He Mengxi’s points had reached 7000 and counting!
Seven thousand.
What kind of joke was this?
Even when placed within the last Alliance Hunt, such a score would easily land He Mengxi among the top 20.
If this hunt’s results were spectacular, she would still be within the top 30 scorers.
Most importantly, the brains of the beasts stored in He Mengxi’s space ring were not finished being counted, and she was still taking out more from the ring. He Mengxi continuously pulled out more brains, and the man who had shouted earlier out continued to count, “7500… 8000!”
Once it was revealed that He Mengxi’s points had exceeded 8000, those at the back also could not help but look up. “Who is that? Is that really not Zhou Donghuang?”
“Looking at her back, she seems rather familiar… But it can’t be her, right?”
“Since when did the Lightning Sword Sect have such a talented disciple?”
…
Yu Yucheng was now gaping like a fish, almost as if he no longer had any control over his mouth.
Although He Jin had been somewhat prepared for a surprise and felt that his daughter would have done well, he was only prepared to be satisfied at best. Once he heard that his daughter had exceeded 8000 points, his eyes shone with excitement and happiness. This was his daughter they were talking about!
Such a daughter really made him proud.
“It’s 8138… It has exceeded Baili Feiyang’s score!”
Once He Mengxi’s score had exceeded 8000, many people were curious as to whether she would be able to exceed Baili Feiyang’s score, which was currently the highest.
Now, her results had indeed exceeded Baili Feiyang’s!
The talented disciple of the Red Leaves Sect, Baili Feiyang, was known as one of the most talented youngsters of his generation. But he was now defeated by an unknown and random female disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect!
It was true that the Alliance Hunt required not only skill but also good luck.
If one had high scores and could defeat Baili Feiyang, it did not mean that they were extremely talented, one may also say that they had good luck… However, even with good luck, without a certain level of skill, attaining such results would be impossible, too!
