Chapter 55

Inside the grand hall, people still came and went, and after the points exchange, a large crowd gathered in front of the points board to watch the rankings. As the end of the month approached, the Starlight Gang was receiving a lot of attention!

Approaching Elder Yellow Tooth, Wang Chen took out today's spoils and placed them all on the table.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Four high-level first-stage beasts, two mid-level first-stage beasts. Not bad, kid!" Elder Yellow Tooth smiled as he looked at Wang Chen's spoils.

Over the ten days, Wang Chen always brought surprises. On the first day, he earned 9 points, which shocked Elder Yellow Tooth. In the following days, he could earn 10 points each day. Today, he even earned 16 points in one go, which surprised Elder Yellow Tooth again. More importantly, his Starlight Pearl had not been plundered even once in ten days. It was hard to say whether it was luck or something else! Such a record was not easy to achieve, even for those in the top fifty of the rankings.

"Plus one more Starlight Pearl!" After a brief pause, Wang Chen took out the plundered Starlight Pearl and handed it to Elder Yellow Tooth.

"Starlight Pearl?" Hearing Wang Chen's words, Elder Yellow Tooth paused, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Wang Chen's action also drew the attention of the surrounding people. Many looked at his spoils with envy, especially at the Starlight Pearl, which changed their view of Wang Chen even more.

"Cough, cough, cough, this adds up to exactly twenty points!" Elder Yellow Tooth quickly picked up Wang Chen's waist badge and engraved the points.

Satisfied, Wang Chen smiled and slowly retreated from the grand hall.

"Tsk tsk tsk, with these points, this kid should be close to entering the Starlight Rankings!" Elder Yellow Tooth mused, looking at Wang Chen's retreating figure.

He was another elder of the outer sect, Elder Dry Bone.

"About the same, his points should have reached 132. The guy currently in 100th place has only 138 points!" Elder Yellow Tooth frowned, his face showing a hint of surprise.

"Um, that's right, hehe, it seems we have another remarkable person!" Elder Dry Bone chuckled, drawing a deep breath.

"How long has it been since such a thing happened last?" Elder Yellow Tooth asked, seemingly recalling something.

"Let me see, if I remember correctly, it was three years ago!" Elder Dry Bone said with a wry smile.

Sigh...

After his words, the two looked at each other, as if they were thinking of something.

"It will be revealed by the end of the month. Let's watch, maybe it will bring us a big surprise!" Elder Yellow Tooth said seriously, but his eyes betrayed a hint of anticipation.

"Who knows, don't forget what happens in the last three days! Hehe, who knows what might happen... We often see such situations, don't we?" However, Elder Dry Bone quickly recalled something and laughed slyly.

"Last three days?" Hearing these words, Elder Yellow Tooth fell silent, his brows furrowing with concern.

...

Dragging his tired body back to his room, the first thing Wang Chen did was to lie down on the bed and relax. At this moment, he didn't care about his dirt and disheveled appearance.

Every day, the first thing Wang Chen did when he returned to his room was this, as if it had become a rule. The tension of the day made his mind numb, and he just wanted to sleep well.

A moment later, a knock came at the door. The door opened, and Xiang Qian's fat body appeared in front of Wang Chen again.

This guy came every few days recently, and Wang Chen had become used to it.

"Hehe, Wang Chen, I heard you had a good harvest today, 20 points, tsk tsk tsk, if my information is correct, your Starlight Pearl hasn't been plundered, right?" Xiang Qian smirked, his eyes gleaming as he asked curiously.

"About that!" Wang Chen answered reluctantly, knowing that Xiang Qian was here to gather information. He was sure his information had been sold many times, and at least today's Luo Lin's information must have been bought from him.

"Luo Lin was plundered this afternoon, was it you?" Xiang Qian's eyes gleamed, and he lowered his voice to ask.

"Did he tell you?" Wang Chen suddenly became alert, sitting up and staring at Xiang Qian.

"Hehe, it was indeed you! Don't be nervous, hehe, Xiang Qian came back looking miserable, burned black, everyone saw it, ha ha! I told him where you were, so I knew it was you, and you just plundered a Starlight Pearl, right? He is a ninth-stage body cultivator! Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to hide so much, a seventh-stage body cultivator defeating a ninth-stage, wow... you might be the first!" Xiang Qian looked at Wang Chen curiously, his eyes shining as if he wanted to see through him. At the same time, he showed no shame in selling out Wang Chen's cultivation location, his face thick-skinned.

Seeing his brazen attitude, Wang Chen was thoroughly convinced that this guy had done such things many times!

"Let me see, if that's the case, you should have... oh, my God, no way, you should have 132 points now?" Ignoring Wang Chen's expression, Xiang Qian widened his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Then, realizing his outburst, he quickly looked out the window to make sure no one was around before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Quick, tell me, is it true?" He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbing Wang Chen's hands, his fat body trembling strangely.

"Seems so, what's the big deal?" Wang Chen shrugged, a bit puzzled. Was it really that surprising? Didn't Xiang Qian already know how many points he had?

"Heaven, really 132 points! Let me see, today is the 26th, so there are four days left. If you keep this up, damn, kid, you could rank at least 96th by the end of the month!" Xiang Qian looked at Wang Chen as if he had seen an alien, exaggerating his disbelief.

"Keep this up and enter the top 100?" This time, Wang Chen was also slightly moved, looking at Xiang Qian with surprise.

"Yes, that's right. As long as you're not plundered and kill a few more beasts, entering the top 100 is definitely possible. Free advice, last month the guy in 100th place had 135 points, firmly holding the 100th spot. This month, it's not much different. Now, with 132 points, you can definitely enter! Damn, entering the top 100 in your first month, are you human?" Xiang Qian's eyes widened, losing his usual slyness and showing only shock.

"Is that so!" Wang Chen nodded thoughtfully. He was also a bit surprised. He didn't expect to enter the top 100 so quickly. There were over 300 outer sect disciples, and he had only been here for ten days. What was going on? Hadn't others been working hard this month? Or had he forgotten something?

Right, Xiang Qian said it wasn't the end of the month yet, and the guy in 100th place had 138 points. Last month, the guy with 135 points could firmly hold the 100th spot. Was there something fishy here?

"Are you really that clueless? Damn, no expression at all? Do you know, in the past hundred years, only a handful of newbies have entered the top 100 in their first month, just nine people, and the last one was three years ago! Don't you think you've done something remarkable?" Seeing Wang Chen still calm, Xiang Qian couldn't help but pull him over, feeling frustrated.

"Four more days!" Wang Chen smiled bitterly, the competition would get fiercer as the month-end approached, and anything could happen, like today when he started to be plundered.

"Nine people? Three years ago? Who was that guy?" Wang Chen asked, recalling Xiang Qian's words.

"Nine people? Hehe, they are all remarkable people. One of them is the Grand Elder, and another is the inner sect disciple Liu Yuanxiu. Ha ha, you'll see that freak in the future!" Mentioning Liu Yuanxiu from three years ago, Wang Chen noticed Xiang Qian's face turning a bit grim, as if there was some secret.

But he didn't ask more, not interested in knowing too much.

"Alright, Wang Chen, hehe, four more days. Besides the last day for assessment and rest, there are three days of plundering. Make good use of them, hehe, I'm looking forward to the show. With your current strength to defeat Luo Lin, you still have a chance!" Xiang Qian smirked, thinking about the last few days and what might happen, speaking slowly.

"Three days?" Seeing Xiang Qian's expression, Wang Chen was even more puzzled. He had already felt something was off, and now he was even more convinced of his guess.

"Since you gave me the information today, I'll tell you. The last three days are the most intense, the real beginning. Don't be fooled by the top 100 on the board now; there will be huge changes by the end of the month! Ha ha, be careful!" Xiang Qian laughed slyly, speaking loudly.

"Real beginning!" Hearing this, Wang Chen's face tightened. Indeed, the last three days would be the craziest. As the month-end assessment approached, everyone would go wild!

No wonder Xiang Qian said there would be huge changes by the end of the month. It must be because of the plundering.

At that time, those without enough Starlight Pearls would have to use points to make up for them, causing their points to drop. Others might suddenly surge by plundering Starlight Pearls. That's how it works!
