Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 612 - 610: Sis, Look!

"Three hundred and fifty-two."

Standing before the stone table, Bing Ruolan stated her count.

"More than three hundred!"

Hearing this, the nearby students gasped.

Most of those present had only managed to kill dozens of Underground Demons. Some hadn’t even met the requirement of killing ten. A tally of three hundred was indeed remarkable enough to make everyone look at her in a new light.

"Oh?"

The middle-aged steward raised an eyebrow and looked up. "Where’s your proof?"

"Here."

Bing Ruolan placed her pale hand on the stone table.

BUZZ!

A blue halo swept from her palm, and a pile of materials from Underground Demons appeared on the dark stone table.

Seeing the wing bones of Sky Flying Demons, the middle-aged steward’s turbid pupils suddenly brightened, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Good, very good. You were able to kill four Sky Flying Demons."

Hearing the praise, a faint, composed smile touched Bing Ruolan’s delicate face. She turned her head and winked at Luo Feng.

"She actually killed four Sky Flying Demons!"

"I remember He Wu, ’Shock Mountain Tiger,’ who is ranked eighth among the top ten young experts, also only killed four Sky Flying Demons."

"It looks like the Purple Sun School is on the rise. Apart from Luo Feng, another Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artist has emerged."

The middle-aged steward’s words caused quite a stir among the onlookers.

Of the fifty thousand students participating in the second round of the assessment, no more than a hundred possessed the strength to kill Sky Flying Demons.

Killing four Sky Flying Demons could be considered an extremely outstanding achievement.

After a moment, the middle-aged steward finished counting the materials and smiled at Bing Ruolan. "The number is correct. Congratulations on passing the second round of the assessment."

Saying this, the middle-aged steward took out a green jade card. Purple Gang Qi emanated from his palm, and after a moment, the name ’Bing Ruolan’ appeared in the center of the jade card, along with a detailed record of her achievements.

"With this jade card, you can go to Skyridge Pavilion to claim your reward. Tomorrow, you can choose which Golden Palace you wish to cultivate in. Keep it safe."

The middle-aged steward handed the jade card to Bing Ruolan.

"Thank you, Steward."

Bing Ruolan took the jade card and clutched it tightly in her hand.

"Luo Feng, I did it!"

Returning to Luo Feng’s side, Bing Ruolan opened her palm. Gratitude that couldn’t be concealed flowed from her beautiful eyes. Her face was flushed crimson, as beautiful as a clear lotus.

From this moment on, she had officially become a disciple of the Twelve Golden Palaces.

She had persisted for over ten years, just waiting for this moment.

"Congratulations."

Luo Feng nodded, a smile on his face, genuinely happy for Bing Ruolan.

After Bing Ruolan came He Qin. She had also killed four Sky Flying Demons, but her total count of Underground Demons was much higher than Bing Ruolan’s, exceeding five hundred.

The middle-aged steward was quite pleased by the consecutive appearance of two young talents capable of killing Sky Flying Demons, and he quickly handed He Qin her jade card.

"Congratulations," Luo Feng said with a smile.

He Qin nodded wordlessly, accepted the jade card, and put it away. Only her slightly trembling hand revealed that she wasn’t as calm as she appeared on the surface.

"Those two actually killed four Sky Flying Demons. They do have some ability..."

In the crowd, several students from Chongyue School stood together.

Yi Wuxue, dressed in blood-red clothes, watched He Qin and Bing Ruolan. He turned to a robust young man behind him and said, "He Wu, I think these two have reached a level where they can challenge the top ten young experts. You’ll need to be careful when competing for the Martial Champion rankings."

The robust young man was none other than ’Shock Mountain Tiger’ He Wu. Hearing this, he scoffed and said, "Rest assured, Senior Brother. It’s just four Sky Flying Demons. If I hadn’t been careless and gotten injured, my results would definitely have surpassed theirs."

He Wu’s gaze fell on Luo Feng, and he said teasingly, "Senior Brother, that Luo Feng actually dared to challenge Yi Tian. How many Sky Flying Demons do you think he killed?"

"Challenging Yi Tian is merely courting death; he’s not worth mentioning. My only opponent is Ye Siyi."

Disdain was evident in Yi Wuxue’s voice as his dark, gloomy eyes glanced towards another queue.

At the very front of that line stood a graceful girl in a simple dress, slender and elegant. She was exceptionally beautiful, with hair like a silken waterfall, and possessed an ethereal, otherworldly aura. This was ’Fragrance Without Shadow’ Ye Siyi, the foremost of the top ten young experts.

"It’s Ye Siyi’s turn. I wonder how many Sky Flying Demons she has killed..." He Wu mused.

"Senior Brother Yi Wuxue killed twenty-six Sky Flying Demons, an unparalleled achievement so far. Ye Siyi definitely won’t surpass him!" a Chongyue School student declared.

Hearing this, Yi Wuxue’s pupils constricted, a fierce fighting spirit glinting in his eyes.

"Look, it’s Ye Siyi from Jade Sword School!"

"Yi Wuxue of Chongyue School killed twenty-six Sky Flying Demons, leaving everyone else far behind. The closest to him is Black-faced Killer Xie Xuantong, who killed twenty-three. As the top young expert in the Six Southern Domains, let’s see what Ye Siyi’s score is."

"A score of twenty-six is already very difficult to surpass. Apart from Yi Wuxue, Xie Xuantong, and ’Heavenly Jade Swordsman’ Liu Changfeng, no one else has scored over twenty so far."

The moment Ye Siyi stood before the black stone table, she immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention. Even the stewards present, responsible for recording results, paused what they were doing.

Everyone wanted to see how the top young expert of the Six Southern Domains would perform.

Luo Feng also looked towards Ye Siyi, a hint of interest in his eyes.

Among the top ten young experts, the first four could all exert pressure on him. However, Ye Siyi was the only one he couldn’t fathom.

The Qinggong she had used to block Xie Xuantong’s strike last time in Sky Frost City, a special technique involving lightness and swiftness, still left Luo Feng somewhat astounded.

"Number of Underground Demons killed?" the beautiful female steward responsible for recording Ye Siyi’s results asked calmly.

"Three thousand nine hundred and thirty-two," Ye Siyi replied slowly, her voice crisp and melodious, like the tinkling of spring water.

HISS!

As her voice fell, a collective gasp swept through Skyridge Plaza.

Everyone knew Ye Siyi’s strength was extraordinary, but they hadn’t expected it to be this terrifying. Single-handedly, she had slaughtered nearly four thousand Underground Demons!

At this moment, everyone truly understood the gap between themselves and the beautiful young woman before them.

Yi Wuxue frowned slightly. The number of Underground Demons he had killed had just surpassed three thousand, far from Ye Siyi’s count. For a Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artist, slaughtering low-level Underground Demons is meaningless. I refuse to believe the number of Sky Flying Demons you killed can surpass mine! Taking a deep breath, Yi Wuxue clenched his fists, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on Ye Siyi.

The beautiful steward was clearly also startled by this number, but she quickly recovered her composure and asked, "Where’s your proof?"

Ye Siyi’s slender, jade-like fingers brushed over her storage ring. Instantly, a small mountain of Underground Demon materials appeared on the stone table.

"Let me help you."

Another steward from the side walked over and began to tally the materials on the table with the beautiful steward.

Skyridge Plaza fell utterly silent. All eyes were wide, waiting for the announcement of the results.

The beautiful steward seemed to understand everyone’s anticipation and began tallying up the Sky Flying Demon wing bones directly.

"One."

"Five."

"Twelve."

"Fifteen..."

"Twenty..."

As the count continued, Yi Wuxue’s face grew increasingly grim.

The number had already surpassed twenty, but there were still a significant number of uncounted wing bones. It was highly probable that Ye Siyi’s score would exceed his.

"Twenty-five."

"Twenty-six."

"Twenty-seven..."

HISS!

Shocked gasps echoed through every corner of Skyridge Plaza.

The stewards present and the students participating in the assessment all had expressions of utter shock.

This score had already broken the record Yi Wuxue had held. To be able to kill so many Sky Flying Demons at such a young age, her talent could only be described as terrifying.

And what was most astonishing was that there were still many uncounted wing bones!

All eyes in the plaza were fixed on the beautiful steward’s hands.

Yi Wuxue’s face turned a sickly green. During the Six Southern Domains Summit, he had sworn he would never lose to Ye Siyi again, yet reality had just delivered a harsh slap across his face.

It wasn’t just a defeat; it was a crushing one!

"Twenty-eight..."

"Twenty-nine!"

The beautiful steward’s voice had lost its initial calmness, now trembling with a hint of excitement.

"A total of thirty-two."

After she finished counting the last pair of wing bones, she slowly exhaled, a fine sheen of sweat appearing on her smooth forehead.

Before the assessment ended, they had discussed whether anyone could kill more than thirty Sky Flying Demons, but most had thought it impossible.

Sky Flying Demons were at least at the first stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and possessed formidable physiques. Their true strength was also several degrees higher than that of martial artists of the same level.

Ye Siyi’s result had exceeded everyone’s expectations.

"Thirty-two! That’s almost ten more than Yi Wuxue!"

"Indeed, she is worthy of being called the top young expert of the Six Southern Domains..."

A moment later, the plaza erupted with exclamations. Everyone looked at Ye Siyi with awe, and even a touch of reverence.

The top young expert of the Six Southern Domains—she truly deserved the title.

As for the few Chongyue School students who had earlier disparaged Ye Siyi, their mouths hung open, speechless for a long time.

Thirty-two. She’s indeed very strong.

Looking at the serene young woman, Luo Feng nodded, quite appreciative of Ye Siyi’s strength.

Bing Ruolan pursed her red lips and smiled. "Coming from you, that’s quite discouraging for others."

"Indeed," He Qin nodded in agreement.

Luo Feng smiled faintly. "I was just lucky."

If he hadn’t encountered the large-scale attack on the City Lord Mansion by the Underground Demons, Luo Feng wouldn’t have had much confidence that his results could surpass Ye Siyi’s. Sky Flying Demons, in addition to their powerful physiques, were also incredibly agile.

What Luo Feng didn’t know was that the strength of the Sky Flying Demons had been greatly diminished due to the effects of the Extreme Yin Cold Sky Formation. Ye Siyi’s ability to kill so many Sky Flying Demons was also partly due to luck.

As if sensing Luo Feng’s gaze, Ye Siyi turned her head and offered him a brilliant, captivating smile.

A short while later, all the Underground Demon materials were counted, and Ye Siyi smoothly received the jade card signifying she had passed the assessment.

"Heehee, Sister, congratulations!"

A figure skipped over from the side and pounced on Ye Siyi. It was Ye Xiaoshuang.

"With so many people watching, can’t you be a little more reserved? We’ll see if anyone likes you in the future..." Ye Siyi smiled and patted Ye Xiaoshuang’s small head.

"Hmph, if no one likes me, then no one likes me! I want to stay with Sister forever."

Ye Xiaoshuang tilted up her small face, then suddenly pointed in a direction and exclaimed joyfully, "Sister, look! It’s Luo Feng’s turn!"
