Chapter 65

Wang Chen's ranking appeared, leaving many people in a state of shock, to the point where the subsequent ranking competition seemed to lose all its appeal. (.Most stable,)

The top one hundred of the Starlight List was quickly revealed, followed by the tally of members whose points exceeded sixty.

The final number greatly exceeded Wang Chen's expectations. It turned out that only a little over two hundred people had accumulated sixty points in a month. This meant that at least a hundred people had not reached sixty points and could not obtain the resources of the sect! This allowed Wang Chen to once again witness the intense competitive atmosphere within the Starlight Sect.

Those who could not obtain resources would face even greater difficulties in cultivation the following month. In such a situation, a vicious cycle would form, and it was easy to imagine what would happen; these people would gradually fall behind the majority.

The dust settled on the Starlight List, and the most exciting moment of the monthly assessment followed—the distribution of sect resources.

Those whose points did not reach sixty could only leave the square with a gloomy expression. They had already ended their journey for the month, and their month of hard work brought no comfort, leaving them truly disheartened.

The focus, of course, was on the top ten, who would receive the best resources from the sect, including healing herbs, herbs to aid cultivation, and some advanced martial techniques and cultivation methods, making others envious.

Next were the top thirty members, who, besides martial techniques, would receive personal guidance from the elders for five days at the beginning of the month to help with their cultivation.

This benefit made many people envious, but Wang Chen was indifferent to it. He had Ling Zhan, who far surpassed these elders, right by his side. Guidance, for him, was a matter of little importance.

Then, the top one hundred members received healing herbs and cultivation aids, which, compared to those at the top, were significantly fewer.

As for those who ranked beyond the top one hundred but still had sixty points, they received only meager healing herbs, another step down.

In the Starlight Sect, where competition is fierce, strength is the ultimate rule. The stronger you are, the more you will gain, and you will become a key focus for cultivation. (Geniuses only need 3 seconds to remember)

With the distribution of resources complete, the monthly assessment seemed to be coming to an end.

Usually, at this point, the elders would announce the end of the monthly assessment and dismiss the participants. However, today, they did not say such things but instead had everyone gather again after receiving their items, which sparked curiosity among many.

Only some of the older members seemed to realize something, their eyes flashing with surprise as they looked toward Wang Chen. They had guessed the reason and their eyes filled with envy.

"Kid, you're lucky!" Xiang Qian, who was beside Wang Chen, also showed a rare envious look as he said jealously.

That strange look seemed to want to envelop Wang Chen entirely.

"What's going on?" Wang Chen, the subject of this attention, asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, as a new member, you made it into the top one hundred. I told you, historically, only nine people have done this, and only three have made it into the top ninety. Especially you, surpassing Liu Yuanxiu from three years ago, this achievement is truly outstanding. Even for the inner sect elders, you have outshone those in the top ten.

Do you think such an achievement would be rewarded with just a few meager herbs? Hehe, just wait, the inner sect elders are probably coming!" Xiang Qian said, smirking with envy.

He turned to look at the front, as if waiting for something, his eyes filled with a complex expression, perhaps recalling something from three years ago. Wasn't there a similar situation during the monthly assessment three years ago?

In the venue, more people were confused, not having experienced the events of three years ago, they did not know what was happening.

As everyone was discussing, a robust figure slowly walked out of the hall, gradually coming into view.

Standing nearly seven feet tall, with a shaved head, wearing a coarse linen robe, and in his forties, he exuded a domineering aura, giving off a wild feeling.

"Grand Elder!" The keen-eyed were the first to exclaim.

"Heaven, it's actually the Grand Elder!" Immediately, the square erupted in excitement.

The Grand Elder of the inner sect, second only to the sect leader in the Starlight Sect, had appeared in the outer sect hall! His presence left many people puzzled.

The Grand Elder held a revered position within the sect, and even in the inner sect, not everyone could see him often. What could bring him to the outer sect?

The next moment, some of the more astute new members, along with the older members, seemed to realize something and turned their eyes toward Wang Chen, their expressions filled with shock.

"Could it be for this guy?" Some people couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet. Today, the Grand Elder of the inner sect has come to our outer sect to announce an important matter! Now, please let our Grand Elder speak!" At the front, Elder Huang Ya stepped forward, cleared his throat to signal for silence, and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, their eyes filled with anticipation, focusing on the Grand Elder, whose wild presence exuded a powerful aura.

"This month's assessment has seen the emergence of an outstanding new member in our outer sect. Three years ago, Liu Yuanxiu swept through the ranks and, as a new member, entered the top one hundred of the Starlight List!

Three years later, our Starlight Sect has once again seen such talent. After deliberation by the inner sect elders, I have come to the outer sect today to confer an award!"

His voice was like thunder, and the Grand Elder spoke straightforwardly, immediately stating the purpose of his visit. Each word reverberated in everyone's ears!

At that moment, everyone realized the truth. They all turned their eyes to Wang Chen, the new member of the month, understanding that the Grand Elder's appearance was indeed for him.

Sigh...

Many people drew in a sharp breath, their eyes filled with complex emotions—envy and jealousy. The attention of the inner sect Grand Elder, and the deliberation of all the elders, clearly showed the waves Wang Chen had stirred.

"The Grand Elder actually appeared for this guy?"

"Heaven, the Grand Elder personally conferring an award, what could it be!"

"Damn, that kid is so lucky!"

The scene became lively again, with everyone looking at Wang Chen, their envious eyes laid bare!

The personal appearance of the inner sect Grand Elder to confer an award meant a lot to everyone. It meant that Wang Chen had been noticed by the inner sect and was likely to be selected into the inner sect early, something that had happened before!

Moreover, what the Grand Elder brought could not be anything less. It was clear that Wang Chen would gain a lot today, so even those in the top ten of the rankings couldn't help but show envious looks.

At that moment, Wang Chen's eyes were fixed on the Grand Elder, his heart filled with a small amount of excitement. What would the Grand Elder personally bring as an award? He was eagerly waiting to find out.

At the same time, the Grand Elder's eyes also turned to Wang Chen. In an instant, their gazes met, and Wang Chen felt as if he was looking into a vast, bottomless ocean!

The deep eyes contained so much, especially the overwhelming aura, which made Wang Chen momentarily lose his composure, sweat appearing on his forehead!

It felt like a thousand years in that instant!

"Hey, what are you spacing out for! The Grand Elder is looking at you!!" Xiang Qian's voice brought Wang Chen back to his senses.

His eyes flashed with shock, having been overwhelmed by that domineering aura. He couldn't help but feel ashamed.

He looked up at the Grand Elder again, and this time, the Grand Elder's eyes were calm, without the previous sharpness, and he nodded at Wang Chen with a smile, having reined in his aura.

Recalling the previous feeling, Wang Chen still felt a lingering fear. The Grand Elder, just how powerful was he? This made Wang Chen frown deeply.
