Free Web NovelChapter 2201: Chapter 2202: Dominating the Leaderboard! Second Update
The ground was piled with demon cores, resembling a small mountain, and there were countless of them—but the number of these demon cores was certainly at least tens of thousands.
If they were all ordinary demon cores, it might not have been surprising. But seeing so few ordinary cores amidst the pile, with the vast majority being king-level demon cores, was terrifying.
King-level demon cores belonged to king-level demons; each king-level demon was at the Saint tier, and those that excelled were even stronger than ordinary Saints.
It’s known that demons have thick skin and flesh, with formidable defensive power, especially those that have reached king-level, making them exceptionally difficult to kill.
Yet, before us lay these king-level demon cores piled high, as if they were free.
Were these all killed by Ye Qiu?
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that this man was frighteningly powerful. To hunt down so many king-level demons, he must have experienced countless battles.
Initially, many believed that Ye Qiu’s demon cores should be numerous, given his strength, but still, producing so many was excessive.
Many gasped in shock at the sight of Ye Qiu’s demon cores.
The more demon cores acquired, the more terrifying one’s strength is indicated to be. Hence, many people judged a person’s strength by their military merit points.
Tai Yi ranked first naturally because he had the highest military merit points, and everyone also believed that his strength was the greatest. In fact, this was true; Tai Yi could now battle the supreme beings of the heavens, even if the golden armor contributes partly, his inherent strength can’t be ignored.
It’s worth noting that some people can’t reach Tai Yi’s level even with golden armor.
That’s the gap.
The maiden exchanging the military merit points was stunned for a moment then came to her senses; historically, very few have been able to present so many demon cores at once.
Now, the maiden’s expression towards Ye Qiu had changed, showing respect, as achieving such feats implied a brilliant martial future for this young martial artist.
"What did I see? The woman responsible for exchanging military merit points actually smiled at Ye Qiu. My God, she never smiles." someone exclaimed.
Others saw it too and agreed, as this was the first time they’d seen this woman smile; previously, they assumed she didn’t know how to smile.
It turns out she can smile, but your demon cores are too few for her to care.
"Fuck, I feel like my heart has been hurt."
"Why do I feel like I’m in love?"
"You dare to flirt with her? Better recognize reality; you don’t even have the capital to make her smile."
The counting of demon cores took the maiden quite a while, and suddenly, Ye Qiu’s original ranking at the bottom of the military merit points board began to climb.
In the ancient city, some young martial artists were still training indoors, idly checking the military merit points leaderboard. Upon seeing a name swiftly rise, they froze in shock.
The name passed ten others in one blink, and another ten in the next blink, climbing faster than a rocket.
"What’s going on, why is my ranking dropping?"
"Someone’s dragging me down, who is it? The demon wave just ended, who would be so ruthless to actively hunt demons?"
When people saw the name Ye Fentian, they immediately understood; if it was him, it made sense.
However, as the name Ye Fentian continued to surge upwards, people were stunned again.
You’ve accumulated many demon cores already; shouldn’t the growth stop by now? But why is it still going?
"He’s broken into the second tier." someone exclaimed.
At this moment, someone in the square shouted: "Breaking news, everyone quickly go to the Military Merit Hall, Ye Fentian is there exchanging military merit points."
Some people indifferent to this news said: "What’s so great about exchanging military merit points? So boring."
"Tch, what do you know? If it’s your exchange, then sure it’s boring—but this time it’s Ye Fentian, can you compare?"
"So what? There’s nothing special about exchanging military merit points." stubbornly said this person.
"Forget it, you’re impossible to persuade, don’t go if you don’t want to."
Many hearing the news rushed to witness the spectacle, although some still felt it wasn’t worth seeing. However, when told that Ye Qiu’s demon cores were piled like a mountain, those dismissing it were surprised and said: "Impossible, you think demon cores are blown in by the wind to pile up like a mountain? I’ll admit Ye Fentian’s impressive, but he’s just a Supreme Saint, not a supreme being of the heavens; it’s not possible to have so many demon cores."
"Don’t believe it? See with your own eyes or hear to believe, go see it and you’ll be convinced." Someone refused to explain further; explaining to such inflexible thinkers is pointless.
As more people gathered at the Military Merit Hall, many were stunned by the mountain of demon cores.
A young martial artist arriving with an intent to mock coldly sneered inside: "Do I not know what Supreme Saint level is like? I’m a Supreme Saint now myself, to pile demon cores into a mountain, at least tens of thousands are needed, a Supreme Saint can’t do this."
Yet, as he looked past the crowd and saw the tall mountain, he couldn’t speak further.
Because, someone had indeed done it, piled demon cores into a mountain.
What the hell!
The events here not only attracted many young martial artists, but even startled the overseers.
Galo, Pu Zhen, and Di Feng stared from afar, with Galo frowning, "How did this kid pull it off?"
Pu Zhen smiled lightly; he knew more than Galo, and figured that Ye Qiu used the demon’s body advantages to achieve this step, yet killing so many demons seemed over the top.
Turquoise Pool, Carefree Holy Son, and Lieyan Holy Son had arrived, all amazed at the massive number of demon cores Ye Qiu acquired.
Now, Ye Qiu’s name had risen from the second tier back to the first tier; although slowing down, it still climbed.
Twentieth!
On the military merit points leaderboard, his points had already reached ten million.
Fifteenth!
Twelfth!
Continued to advance with unstoppable momentum.
Travelers were caught up.
Fourteen million points.
Fifth.
Just after surpassing the traveler, Ye Qiu overtook someone named Ming Wei, who had lately ascended to Supreme Saint, making rapid progress but still was easily surpassed by Ye Qiu.
When Stone Demon Lord’s name was overtaken, people were stunned, thinking maybe Tai Yi Holy Son’s first place was also at risk?
But as that thought arose, Ye Qiu’s name gently elbowed down Tai Yi from the first spot, engraving Ye Fentian at the top.
Behind his name, the military merit points had already breached into the twenty million range.
And the number kept increasing, constantly changing.
After a while, the number finally stabilized, and everyone was glued to it.
It was a shocking number.
Billion!
A hundred and thirty million military merit points!
Oh my God!
Has he gone mad?
In the Military Merit Hall, all the martial artists present were stunned into silence upon seeing this number.
