Dashing Student-Chapter 1122: A Stunning Feat

Facing Chen Nan’s teasing, Lin Rou smiled sweetly, seemingly enjoying Chen Nan’s words, without being angry.

"Want me to accompany you? Sure, when you ascend to an A-level Assassin, then I might consider it. But you better hurry, sister doesn’t like old men."

There are no more than a handful of A-level Assassins in the Yama Hall, and they’re all quite old. After all, to become an A-level Assassin, you need not only enough strength but also merit.

Generally, you need to struggle for hundreds of years to qualify.

Upon hearing Lin Rou’s words, laughter erupted in the hall again.

Chen Nan nodded and said quite seriously, "Alright, I’ll work hard."

Since he encountered such a special physique, he had to give it a try.

After all, the Primordial Yin of the woman in front of him was still present, which would surely be very beneficial to him, and it could also benefit Lin Rou, mutually advantageous.

It’s just that he’s not capable yet; he’s merely a low-level Assassin, whom others don’t even notice.

Other Assassins laughed at Chen Nan’s overestimation of his abilities, but Lin Rou clearly saw that hint of seriousness in Chen Nan’s eyes.

She felt a misconception, as if the words of the man in front of her were destined to come true.

"Then sister will be waiting for you."

Amidst the mocking and ridicule of others, Chen Nan went to the other side of the hall, where it was much quieter, as this was the task hall.

The tasks from outside would be sent here for the Assassins to choose from, and one could also purchase and browse various information here.

Similarly, one could use merit to exchange for various weapons, Secret Treasures, magic, etc.

There were even Spiritual Artifacts that carried a trace of the Power of Laws.

Chen Nan remembered clearly that the Assassin who tried to kill him used such a Spiritual Artifact, but unfortunately, it was disposable.

And the merit points required were numerous.

"It seems the one who offered the reward to kill me paid quite a price."

Chen Nan saw the exchange price for the Concealing Technique he practiced and the Assassination Technique. Both magic techniques were about ten thousand merit points.

And a D-level Assassin task only earns about a hundred merit points at a time.

As for the Heaven-Slaying Art that Chen Nan thought about, it required five million merit points.

Even for a B-level Assassin, who earns around a thousand merit points per task, five thousand tasks are needed, which is simply terrifying.

Currently, Chen Nan had no merit points, so he went straight to the task board.

The task board was densely packed with tasks, ranging from D-level to B-level, and there stood a female Assassin with a cold expression, her cultivation at around the Golden Core Third Layer.

Chen Nan nodded at the female Assassin and started looking through the D-level tasks.

Tasks correspond to the Assassin’s grade, and each grade Assassin can only take tasks of the corresponding grade.

Moreover, a D-level Assassin must complete at least three tasks annually, or they would be eliminated by the Yama Hall.

Generally, D-level Assassins without ambition would indulge in pleasure upon completing the annual task goals, after all, enjoying a day is being happy a day, who knows when they’d die.

But Chen Nan wasn’t that pessimistic, as he had his clear goals.

"The Heaven-Slaying Art can be accumulated for merit exchange, and as for the information I want, I need to proceed slowly."

He wanted to find the Assassin who tried to kill him before, to avenge that sword, and discover who exactly was rewarding him.

Looking upwards, Chen Nan even found the task of rewarding himself in the B-level task board.

The task detailed his cultivation and included a portrait, and the amount made him click his tongue.

As much as one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!

This price greatly exceeded other tasks.

Additionally, the merit points earned upon completion reached as much as one hundred thousand, hundreds of times higher than other tasks of the same level.

"No wonder so many people come to kill me; if I were them, I’d also take it, as such a huge sum is truly tempting," Chen Nan thought to himself.

The female Assassin beside him glanced in the direction Chen Nan was looking and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Curious why the bounty to kill Chen Nan is so high? This guy is not ordinary, having avoided assassination multiple times and resulting in many lost Assassins."

"What’s most peculiar is that despite being killed before, he somehow survived, leading this D-level task to be upgraded to B-level, and the bounty to become excessively high."

Hearing someone mention him to his face, Chen Nan felt somewhat proud; he was a unique presence within the Yama Hall.

"Are there still people going to assassinate him now?"

"Of course, the bounty is so high; who wouldn’t be tempted?" The female Assassin licked her lips, "But this kid is too good at hiding. He appeared in the Southern Marsh before, then vanished again."

"If there’s news of him, I’m sure many Assassins will chase after him."

Chen Nan pouted, no longer looking at his bounty but rather focusing on the D-level tasks, each yielding only around a hundred merit points, and spirit stones ranging from a few thousand low-grade spirit stones to several tens of thousands.

And the targets in these tasks were all Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, as breaking through to the Golden Core Stage would be a C-level task.

After looking for a while, Chen Nan didn’t find one suitable for him, so he simply tore down all the D-level tasks.

This left the female Assassin beside him in utter shock.

"Taking so many at once? Can you even finish them?"

Chen Nan smiled slightly and said calmly, "I’m in a hurry."

The female Assassin was thoroughly disoriented, killing needing haste?

Could this kid be a Demon Cultivator? The group of lunatics among Demon Cultivators even regarded killing as a pastime.

Though in the Yama Hall, both Demon Cultivators and normal cultivators can be Assassins, but even Assassins fear the ways of Demon Cultivators.

Chen Nan went to the handover task counter and pushed out dozens of tasks.

"Um... Are you sure you want to take so many?"

The receptionist girl stared wide-eyed, her speech stuttering.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Chen Nan frowned slightly.

"No, it’s just that no one has ever done this before," the girl frantically waved her hands.

Chen Nan said indifferently, "That’s because I wasn’t here. If I were, I’d have done it long ago."

The girl had no choice but to register him quickly.

With dozens of tasks in hand, Chen Nan left Forget Sorrow Forest directly.

The news of taking dozens of tasks at once quickly spread to Forget Worry Inn, causing the Assassins enjoying themselves to pause for a moment.

"Has this kid gone mad? Isn’t he afraid of being hunted worldwide as a Demon Cultivator?"

"I think he’s just showing off, merely a rookie Assassin, how capable could he be?"

The bald Assassin who spoke to Chen Nan earlier suddenly looked at Lin Rou.

"Boss lady, could this kid really be serious?"

Earlier, Lin Rou mentioned that she would consider accompanying Chen Nan if he became an A-level Assassin.

But unexpectedly, Chen Nan pushed himself to such extremes. Even the lowest-level D-level tasks had risks of failure, let alone taking dozens of tasks at once, exponentially increasing the danger.

"Could it really be for me?"
