Endless Ascension

Chapter 28:Shock

"2879 points!"

Breaking through history and shattering records, Qin Feng basked in the limelight for a moment, a faint smile breaking through his usually icy expression.

Qin Zhantian approached, patted Qin Feng's shoulder, and nodded, saying, "Well done."

The Qin clan disciples around them wore expressions of envy, for to receive personal praise from the clan leader was an unparalleled honor, one that sparked jealousy and resentment among countless disciples.

Except for Qin Ze.

Gazing at Qin Feng's satisfied smile, Qin Ze scratched the back of his head and whispered to Yun Man, "Is 2879 points a lot?"

Yun Man glanced at Qin Ze, giggled, and said, "It's a record-breaking score for the Qin clan. Even the clan leader's score in the Autumn Hunt was less than two thousand points."

Then, her eyes twinkled, and she narrowed them at Qin Ze, asking, "How much more points do you think you'll have than him?"

Looking into Yun Man's crescent-shaped eyes, Qin Ze chuckled secretly and said, "Just wait and see."

Everyone in the Qin clan believed that Qin Feng would undoubtedly win first place in the Autumn Hunt. Within three days, he had hunted nearly a thousand beasts, including even a fourth-tier beast, causing a massive sensation. Even the clan leader had descended from his seat to praise him personally. Who else could possibly compete with Qin Feng for this honor?

With his peak strength at the ninth rank of the Martial Path, Qin Feng had undoubtedly hunted the most beasts. Several formidable competitors had fallen, leaving no one to challenge him.

"Yun Man!"

The announcer called out loudly.

Yun Man, looking like a delicate flower, timidly stepped forward, glancing at Qin Ze with lowered eyes and pouting her lips. She stood motionless in the center of the plaza.

Qin Ze sighed and walked up, asking, "Can I help her?"

Yun Man was hesitant to pull out the bloody beast heads from her spatial wooden tablet. All the beast heads in her tablet were harvested by Qin Ze.

Initially, Yun Man had objected, but Qin Ze's own tablet had been filled to capacity, leaving no choice but to use hers. Of course, these points now belonged to her as well.

Qin Zhantian nodded slightly, and the statistician didn't say much more.

"Stand back a bit, be careful not to get splattered with blood," Qin Ze said with concern. Yun Man quickly stepped back, and the surrounding crowd erupted in laughter. How could someone with such a timid personality kill beasts?

Among the thousands of Qin clan disciples, there wasn't one as timid as her. She never dared to confront anyone and would always silently walk away even when bullied.

Qin Ze didn't say much more. Glancing at the mocking crowd, he began to take out beast heads from his spatial wooden tablet...

The vast plaza gradually piled up like a mountain, and the crowd kept retreating. No one could laugh anymore. Those who had just mocked Yun Man suddenly felt their faces burning hot, as if they had just been slapped.

"2067 points"

"2986 points"

"3061 points"

...

"3217 points"

In the end, Yun Man's total score for the beasts she hunted was 3217 points.

Qin Feng's expression grew increasingly sour. His brows furrowed without him realizing it, and the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a scowl that suggested someone owed him money and refused to pay. His fists clenched tightly, suppressing the anger boiling within him.

At that moment, Qin Feng's mood plummeted from heaven to hell, leaving him in immense discomfort.

On the stage, six of the Qin clan's eight elders stood up, all except Qin Xiangtian and Qin Kuang. They couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. They never expected a young girl to possess such prowess, slaying over a thousand beasts and breaking the record once again, truly astonishing.

The Qin clan disciples on the training ground gaped at the mountain of beast heads, their mouths hanging open like eggs.

After the tally was complete, Qin clan disciples quickly cleared the beast heads from the scene.

Qin Zhantian looked at the delicate Yun Man with a benevolent smile and gently said, "Well done, well done, well done."

"Next, Qin Ze."

When the statistician called out Qin Ze's name, Qin Xiangtian's eyes immediately changed. His brows furrowed, and he stared intently at Qin Ze, a towering rage rising within him. A powerful martial qi surged beneath his palm...

The sudden change in the atmosphere made Qin Ze immediately sense something was off. He muttered to himself, "Is the BOSS about to blow his top? Damn, he makes me live in fear every day. Just wait and see..."

Qin Kun's death was undoubtedly tied to Qin Ze, and Qin Xiangtian glared at him with a fierce desire to crush him with a single palm strike.

Qin Zhantian was also taken aback, turning to stare at Qin Xiangtian with a flash of cold light in his eyes. The muscles in his face twitched slightly, revealing the aura of a martial artist who had attained the Refined Qi Realm.

Qin Xiangtian froze for a moment, retracting his martial qi. His chest heaved violently as he took a deep breath, his expression regaining its composure.

Qin Zhantian, too, regained his composure and gazed at Qin Ze.

He wanted to see if Qin Ze could still bring him surprises. To be able to cultivate martial arts despite a damaged dantian was nothing short of genius among geniuses, and Qin Ze's growth rate was astonishing, almost unbelievable.

Qin Ze walked to the center of the plaza, where Yun Man looked at him with a mischievous smile. Only she knew how many beast heads Qin Ze had collected, enough to fill half of the training ground.

"Everyone, back up a bit."

Qin Ze shouted loudly, but the Qin clan disciples around him merely exchanged glances, none of them taking a single step back.

"Are you kidding? Isn't this big enough for you to lay out your beast heads?"

"Exactly, look at your own strength first."

"Hurry up, don't waste everyone's time."

...

The crowd chattered and gossiped, but Qin Ze remained unmoved. Instead, he looked towards Qin Zhantian.

"Everyone, move back a little further," Qin Zhantian said softly, but the words echoed like thunder in the ears of everyone on the training ground, causing them to quickly retreat.

Qin Ze pulled out his spatial wooden tablet and began frantically withdrawing beast heads, which piled up like autumn leaves, one after another.

The area of the pile grew larger and larger, and the disciples around the plaza kept backing away...

The previous two days had yielded relatively few beast heads, but on the third day, the addition of Heiyan, a Refined Qi Realm expert, to the slaughter of beasts was like autumn wind sweeping through fallen leaves. In just a morning, Qin Ze's spatial wooden tablet was filled to capacity.

And it had only taken Qin Ze an afternoon to collect the beast heads that Yun Man and Heiyan had slaughtered.

Yun Man and Heiyan had gone berserk with their killing, while Qin Ze was responsible for collecting the heads. They worked in perfect coordination, their speed incredible. Failing to secure the first place would have been a betrayal to themselves.

"3197 points"

"3467 points"

"4129 points"

...

"4587 points"

When the statistician reached this point, Qin Ze paused, walked to a slightly larger area, and waved at the crowd, signaling them to retreat further.

This time, no one spoke, but silently took three big steps back.

Qin Ze waved again, motioning for them to retreat even more.

The crowd, though puzzled, complied, their eyes filled with disbelief as they watched Qin Ze, wondering if he had lost his mind.

Qin Ze glanced back at Qin Xiangtian on the stage, flashing a sinister smile. Suddenly, his right arm's veins bulged, and he roared loudly.

A massive beast head was yanked out of the spatial wooden tablet...
