Chapter 57

The grand hall was now bustling with people, especially in front of the Star Chart, where a dense crowd gathered, discussing animatedly, seemingly debating something. (!Win talk time)

"Kid, how do you feel today? The three days of hell must have been quite a taste, right!" Seeing Wang Chen, the old man with yellow teeth immediately flashed his trademark smile, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, looking extremely sleazy.

"Still okay!" He nodded with a bitter smile. The competition in these last three days was indeed intense!

Three days of hell? Indeed, this name fit the reality. These three days were truly hellish, filled with endless plundering and fighting, endless slaughter, making it hard to catch one's breath, a life like hell!

Just like today, he had to fight six battles in one day. Such intensity was hard for an average person to bear, even Wang Chen, whose physical strength far exceeded that of his peers, felt exhausted.

"How was your harvest?" The old man with yellow teeth asked with a playful look in his eyes.

"Pretty good, six Star Pearls. Take a look!" Saying this, Wang Chen handed over the six extra Star Pearls from his chest to the old man with yellow teeth.

The moment Wang Chen took out the Star Pearls, he immediately felt something was wrong. The originally noisy hall seemed to fall silent in an instant.

In front of him, the old man with yellow teeth's expression froze in mid-air, his eyes wide open, filled with shock.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the old man's appearance, Wang Chen asked in confusion.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Pulled back to reality by Wang Chen's words, the old man with yellow teeth swallowed hard, staring fiercely at the six Star Pearls in front of him: "You got six Star Pearls in one day?"

His tone was full of astonishment, filled with disbelief.

"Is there a problem?" Wang Chen was even more confused. Could it be that this was not acceptable? Looking at the top of the积分榜 (积分榜 means "积分榜" in Chinese, which translates to "积分榜" in English, but it should be "积分榜" in this context, so I will use "积分榜" instead), those guys had already accumulated over a thousand points. So, his one-day harvest was far less than theirs. In front of them, he seemed to be nothing. Could this level of achievement shock the old man with yellow teeth?

"Swallow... Swallow..." He swallowed again, trembling with a forced smile: "You really only have the strength of the seventh level of Body Tempering?"

"That's right!" Wang Chen could only continue to answer helplessly.

At this moment, not only the old man with yellow teeth, but also the surrounding people began to exclaim one after another. Everyone looked at Wang Chen with a stunned expression, as if they had seen a monster!

"Take a look, mark my points!" Feeling the change in everyone's gaze, Wang Chen urged impatiently. He didn't like being stared at like this.

"Alright, alright! Let me see, let me see!" Pouting, his face twitched, the old man with yellow teeth suppressed his shock and sat back down, picking up Wang Chen's waist badge and marking the points.

Then, he frowned, looking intently at Wang Chen's waist badge, rubbing his eyes as if he had seen something terrifying, repeatedly confirming with wide eyes.

"Heaven, you already have 156 points, 156 points! Congratulations, you're in the top 100 of the Star Chart today!" After several confirmations, the old man with yellow teeth suddenly widened his eyes, then stood up with a shocked expression, grabbing Wang Chen's shoulders and loudly announcing.

Sigh...

The first to react was not Wang Chen, but the crowd around him. Everyone couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath!

The next moment, the crowd was in an uproar. Top 100, they had never seen this guy before. Could he be new? He suddenly rushed into the top 100? The excitement was overwhelming!

"Is that right??" Taking the waist badge, Wang Chen smiled calmly, not very surprised. Yesterday, after hearing Xiang Qian's words, he knew this day would come soon, just not today!

Finally entering the top 100, he let out a slight sigh of relief. But the pressure followed, with two more days to go, he still had a lot to do.

"Kid, can't you show a bit of emotion?" Seeing Wang Chen's calm expression, the old man with yellow teeth couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, I'll leave first!" Wang Chen replied indifferently.

This almost made the old man with yellow teeth fall to the ground. Looking at Wang Chen's departing figure, he wished he could kick him a few times, such a guy with no emotions!

It wasn't until Wang Chen left the hall that the old man with yellow teeth, using trembling hands, hung Wang Chen's points badge on the Star Chart, placing it at the 96th position. The crowd was in an uproar.

"Is that kid really new?"

"I didn't hear wrong, he's only at the seventh level of Body Tempering?"

"Entering the Star Chart in the first month at the seventh level of Body Tempering? Plundering six Star Pearls in one day during the three days of hell?"

"Seems so!"

"Isn't he a monster?"

"Could be!"

Instantly, the hall was filled with exclamations and discussions, as if it would be overturned.

A seventh-level Body Tempering martial artist entering the Star Chart in the first month, and more importantly, plundering six Star Pearls in one day during the most intense competition of the three days of hell—what did this mean? This was something they couldn't even imagine!

Not to mention that he was a seventh-level Body Tempering martial artist, just the intense competition during the three days of hell! This competition was not something ordinary people could imagine.

If it were a normal day, perhaps there would be a chance to obtain six Star Pearls, but during the three days of hell, it was much harder. The plundering was intense, and only those in the top 20 of the rankings could achieve such results!

Everyone here started as a newcomer. They all understood the difficulties a seventh-level Body Tempering martial artist would face upon entering the Star Sect. They had all walked this path step by step, and they knew it well.

However, Wang Chen's appearance had already shattered their understanding and stunned them!

"Entering the Star Chart in the first month, how long has this not happened!" Some of the older members sighed, recalling a scene they had once seen. That person had now become a figure they looked up to, a name to be avoided.

"Three years, three years ago, Liu Yuanxiu was also like this, ending up at the 87th position!" The old man with yellow teeth pouted, and the others looked at each other.

"Can he last until the end of the month?"

"Hard to say, there are still two days, anything can happen!"

"Regardless, his performance is already impressive enough!"

After the excitement subsided, sighs echoed throughout the hall!

"Hehe, it seems that kid really did it, impressive enough to shock everyone!" Seeing the crowd gathered around the Star Chart in amazement, the old man with withered bones also came to the side of the old man with yellow teeth and sighed.

"Yes, this kid is amazing. Entering the top 100 of the Star Chart in the first month at the seventh level of Body Tempering, very good. It's been three years, and such a situation has finally appeared. When Liu Yuanxiu entered the outer sect, he was also at the eighth level of Body Tempering, and it seems this kid is even better!" The old man with yellow teeth said with a hint of nostalgia.

"Don't forget, Liu Yuanxiu entered at the beginning of the month, along with seven others. They all entered the sect at the beginning of the month, giving them more time to achieve this! And they only entered the top 100 in the last three days of the month!

When did Wang Chen enter? He entered in the middle of the month, half a month later than others, which was the most crucial half a month, a buffer period. This kid entered directly without a buffer period, making it even harder!

There's one more thing you didn't notice, he only took eleven days to enter the chart, impressive!" The old man with withered bones took a deep breath, looking at the distant night sky and murmuring.

Each seemingly low voice made the old man with yellow teeth's body tremble, his eyes becoming increasingly incredulous, until finally, his body began to shake.

"It seems we overlooked something!" Without waiting for the old man with yellow teeth to speak, the old man with withered bones continued with a mysterious smile.

"What?" The old man with yellow teeth asked in confusion. The news was already shocking enough, could there be something even more shocking?

"Hehe, did you forget, from the beginning to now, his Star Pearls have never been replenished, meaning..." The old man with withered bones paused, looking at the old man with yellow teeth and smiling.

"Meaning this kid has never been plundered, he has never failed?" Drawing in a sharp breath, the old man with yellow teeth shouted in shock.

Then, both of them widened their eyes, filled with shock! Even the eight newcomers who entered the Star Chart had a history of being plundered, but Wang Chen had not.

This was simply an inconceivable thing in the Star Sect!

"The second elder chose the right person!" After a long time, the old man with yellow teeth could only sigh.

"Hope this kid doesn't get arrogant and can keep it up. If he can stay on the list by the end of the month, we'll give him some benefits!" The old man with withered bones also said solemnly.

Wang Chen, however, paid no attention to what was happening behind him. It seemed he was completely unaware of the turmoil his actions had caused, the waves he had stirred. He remained calm, returning to his room to begin his recovery and cultivation.
