Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1411: Chapter 1410: The Undisputed Number One!

”Let’s go, aren’t you eager to get started already?” Su Han smiled as he looked at Huang Xuan.

”Hehe, let’s go.”

Huang Xuan chuckled, his figure flickering as he arrived before the Outer Sect Disciple.

”Junior Brother Huang is quite lucky to have such a good friend as Senior Brother Su, that’s a blessing!” the Outer Sect Disciple said with a smile.

”Hehe, yes, yes, a blessing indeed. Please have a look, Senior Brother.” Huang Xuan smiled as he handed over his storage ring.

”So many?!”

Upon seeing the many Woodcore Stones inside, the Outer Sect Disciple’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Huang Xuan, ”Senior Brother Su... treats you so well?”

”Please verify the quantity of Woodcore Stones, Senior Brother,” Huang Xuan said.

He spoke in a calm manner, but the happiness on his face was visible for all to see.

It was like a child being bullied, only to have an adult stand up for him, and he was gloating immensely.

At this moment, Huang Xuan’s face was full of proud display...

”In total, there are... one million forty-eight pieces.”

The Outer Sect Disciple took a deep breath and chuckled, ”But for the second stage of the trial, you won’t need so many; a hundred thousand will be enough, let’s settle with that. As for the rest, are you planning to exchange them for other items? I’ll record them all.”

”Yes, let’s exchange for items, thank you, Senior Brother.” Huang Xuan replied with a smile.

...

Meanwhile, when Su Han took the stage, the Outer Sect Disciple immediately clasped his fist and bowed, ”Senior Brother Su.”

”You’re too kind, Senior Brother. In terms of seniority, you are actually the Senior Brother,” Su Han returned the gesture.

”Senior Brother Su, don’t be modest. We clearly saw your performance on the Savage Forest Star. Although you have not officially become a disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, I’m sure there are countless Outer Sect Disciples who see you as their idol. In fact, I’ve heard from dozens of beautiful women that they want to marry you...”

Su Han: ”...”

”Let’s first verify the quantity of the Woodcore Stones,” Su Han said.

”Got it!”

The Outer Sect Disciple scanned the storage ring with his Divine Sense, and after a moment of stupor, looked up at Su Han.

”Senior Brother Su, you must be the one who has collected the most task items during the second stage in the entire history of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion. This is unprecedented and likely will never be surpassed!”

”I’ve already tallied them; the numbers will appear on the screen shortly. Please wait patiently, Senior Brother Su.”

”By the way, Senior Brother Su, do you plan to exchange everything for items, or are you keeping some?”

”Exchange for items,” Su Han replied before leaving the platform.

The Outer Sect Disciple looked at Su Han with complete envy.

If it were merely about aptitude, which is a gift from heaven, they wouldn’t be envious to such a degree.

But skill, courage, and soul power—are those also gifts from heaven?

No, these are all acquired through personal effort.

Someone like Su Han is truly admirable.

...

Once everyone had handed over their Woodcore Stones, names and quantities finally began to appear on the large screen.

People didn’t pay attention to the individuals further down the list; instead, they all focused on the topmost name as soon as the numbers were revealed.

First place: Su Han!

Woodcore Stones: 7,336!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Seven million...

Are we sure these are task items?

They saw the scene of Su Han ’robbing’ the Sect of the Supreme Shadow but hadn’t figured out how many Woodcore Stones the Sect of the Supreme Shadow had contributed to Su Han.

And now they knew, seven million!

Beneath Su Han’s name, another name shone brightly.

Second place: Huang Xuan!

Woodcore Stones: 1,048!

Everyone knew that these Woodcore Stones were given to Huang Xuan by Su Han. Based solely on Huang Xuan’s abilities, he wouldn’t have been able to gather such a large amount.

At this moment, countless people began to think more highly of Huang Xuan as well.

The relationship between Huang Xuan and Su Han was clear from the number of Woodcore Stones. In the future, as long as Su Han isn’t offended, it would be best not to offend Huang Xuan either...

After glancing over Su Han and Huang Xuan’s achievements, everyone’s eyes turned to the third place.

Third place: Mui Tianci

Woodcore Stones: 8,268!

Upon seeing this quantity, many people gasped in shock.

Su Han was understandable; his immense strength was already displayed to everyone, and after the initial shock, it settled down.

Huang Xuan needs no explanation; he didn’t have much strength and all the Woodcore Stones were given by Su Han.

But Mui Tianci...

How did he manage to gather so many Woodcore Stones?

Looking at past trends, even the first place holder would at most gather no more than three thousand, but Mui Tianci managed to get over eight thousand!

To put it mildly, if Su Han hadn’t robbed the Sect of the Supreme Shadow, he too wouldn’t have been able to get so many Woodcore Stones, the gap is huge!

”Who is Mui Tianci?”

”This person is a huge dark horse!”

”Senior Brother Su is in a league of his own, and we know Junior Brother Huang’s deal, but how is Mui Tianci this formidable as well?”

”Where is this person located?”

Amidst the scattered discussions, those who recognized Mui Tianci looked in his direction.

As more attention gathered, the figure standing upright with hands behind his back, stepped forward into view.

Su Han also turned his head, looking at the person only to find him handsome, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, appearing very young, with long hair draping over his shoulders. As he calmly stood there, an intangible aura emanated from him.

”Is he Mui Tianci?” Huang Xuan whispered.

”Yes.”

Chen Fan nodded, ”Perhaps you weren’t paying attention—during the first stage of the trial, he also had a Purple Qualification and reached 125 feet, ranking sixth.”

”I see...” Huang Xuan nodded.

Su Han took a glance before pulling back his gaze.

...

Those ranked below third place weren’t of much interest, with the fourth-place holder having gathered only 1,200 Woodcore Stones.

The numbers dwindled from there, gathering less attention from onlookers.

As the big screen continued to scroll and more names appeared, some people saw their name and burst out in excited laughter.

”Haha, thank goodness I bought dozens of Woodcore Stones from Senior Brother Su, barely making it into the nine thousand nine hundred rank. Otherwise, I would’ve been pretty much done for!”

”Hehe, you’re lucky! I’m curious what being in ten thousandths means? If it weren’t for the seven Woodcore Stones I bought from Senior Brother Su, I would’ve been eliminated long ago.”

Su Han: ”...”

Listening to their words, Su Han’s feelings couldn’t be summed up even with the phrase ’beyond words’...

It was utterly... speechless! Twice!
