Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 180: Inside Story!

The mountain of Tokens was so dazzling, it nearly blinded everyone present!

The entire area fell silent. You could hear a pin drop! Incredulity was written on every face.

Some even rubbed their eyes vigorously. But when they looked again, the massive pile of Tokens was still there. They had no choice but to accept the reality before them!

Everyone stared at Long Chen with wide eyes. No one had anticipated that Long Chen alone would bring back so many Tokens!

How on earth did he manage this?

Their minds reeled with questions!

"Let’s tally them up," Long Chen said lightly to the man at the counter.

The man was already dumbfounded. At Long Chen’s words, he slowly came to his senses and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes..."

He and several others then began to count the Tokens quickly.

Meanwhile, Long Chen looked up at Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu. "Now, open your eyes and take a good look. What are these on the counter?"

Seeing Long Chen’s swagger, Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu’s faces turned livid. The more arrogant and smug they had been just a moment ago, the more humiliated they were now.

Soon, the number of Long Chen’s Tokens was tallied.

The man reported to Long Chen, "Young Master, the number of Tokens you’ve obtained has been counted. There’s a total of one thousand two hundred Tokens."

"Do you wish to exchange these for resources or convert them into the corresponding points?"

The crowd gasped in unison.

One thousand two hundred Tokens?

They never could have imagined that Long Chen would have so many! It was simply unthinkable!

The expressions on Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu’s faces grew even uglier. Together, the two of them had only collected eight hundred Tokens. And here was Long Chen, all by himself, far surpassing their combined total. They felt a burning sting on their cheeks, wishing they could dig a hole and bury their heads in it.

Long Chen asked, "What resources can I exchange for here?"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately produced a list of resources and handed it to Long Chen with the utmost respect. "Young Master, please have a look."

Long Chen took the list, glanced at it briefly, and then set it down. Not a single item on it was worthy of his attention. The treasures he had obtained in the Heavenly Demon Sect far exceeded the value of anything here. Thus, Long Chen had no interest in exchanging for resources.

He stated directly, "Convert them all into points."

"Alright." The man nodded repeatedly and hurried to do so, not daring to utter another word.

「Meanwhile, at the outskirts of Nine Demons Mountain.」

Only half a Shichen remained until the end of the Demon Pursuit Conference.

More and more Disciples of Martial Sect and Disciples of the Sword Ancestor were emerging from within.

On the Integral Stone Pillar, Chu Lingjun’s score was the highest.

Ma Cheng followed closely behind.

Tuoba Beast was still in third place.

Even so, the overall performance of the Sword Ancestor still surpassed that of the Martial Ancestor.

An Zhun looked at Chu Zhentian and said with a faint smile, "Brother Chu, it seems your Martial Ancestor has no hope of surpassing us anytime soon. This year’s ultimate victory in the Demon Pursuit Conference will once again fall into the hands of our Sword Ancestor. And you are doomed to be trampled under our feet!"

This statement immediately sparked indignation and anger among the Disciples of Martial Sect.

Chu Zhentian, Shangguan Yuan, and Tuoba Jin all frowned slightly.

But An Zhun’s next words directly struck a nerve with Chu Zhentian.

"Brother Chu, what a pity. You have such an excellent daughter, yet she must languish in your Martial Ancestor. I have an idea that could not only resolve the conflict between our two sects but also help your Martial Ancestor flourish."

Here, An Zhun’s smile became more brazen. "Just promise your daughter in marriage to my son. Wouldn’t that make everyone happy?"

"Scoundrel!" Chu Zhentian was furious, his fists clenched tightly. Everyone knew that while An Zhun was the head of the Sword Ancestor’s inner court, his son was in a vegetative state! For him to now publicly suggest that Chu Zhentian marry Chu Lingjun off to his son was a blatant, naked insult.

Chu Zhentian was seething with rage, but just as he was about to erupt, Shangguan Yuan stopped him. "He’s deliberately provoking us. He wants to incite you to attack in front of the people from the World King Palace. Don’t fall for it!"

Tuoba Jin also sighed softly, feeling powerless in the face of the situation.

These people from the Sword Ancestor are truly despicable!

Taking advantage of the presence of the World King Palace, they hurled insults and slander without any sense of decency or shame.

Tuoba Jin said coldly to An Zhun, "The time is not yet up, and the outcome is not yet decided. Isn’t it a bit too early for you to be saying such things?"

An Zhun, Li Man, Feng Xin, and the other Disciples of the Sword Ancestor present couldn’t help but sneer.

"Utterly ridiculous!" An Zhun scoffed. "Brother Chu, I think you must be dizzy with anger. Just look at the time. Our Sword Ancestor is completely overpowering your Martial Ancestor. Even our disciple with the lowest score has reached fifty points. And what about your Martial Ancestor? Take a good look. That fellow named Long Chen hasn’t moved an inch from the very beginning. Even I, an outsider, am embarrassed for you. I don’t know how your skin can be so thick. If I were you, I’d have already dug a hole..."

RUMBLE—

Before An Zhun could finish speaking, the Integral Stone Pillar representing Long Chen, which had been motionless, suddenly sprang to life. It began to climb at an incredible speed, continuously surpassing disciples from both the Martial Sect and the Sword Ancestor.

"What’s going on?" An Zhun was utterly shocked.

"This..." Chu Zhentian and the others exchanged stunned glances, which quickly turned into smiles.

In just three seconds, Long Chen’s Integral Stone Pillar not only surpassed Ma Cheng and Chu Lingjun but soared far above them!

With that, the outcome of the Demon Pursuit Conference was single-handedly reversed by Long Chen. With his points added to the total, the Martial Ancestor had now surpassed the Sword Ancestor in the overall standings.

"Impossible!" An Zhun and his group shook their heads, unable to believe what they were seeing. "This is simply impossible!"

Just then, all the remaining participants of the Demon Pursuit Conference emerged.

Seeing Long Chen’s name engraved on the highest point of the Integral Stone Pillar, Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu gnashed their teeth, their faces grim.

Ma Cheng was also seething with rage, shaking his head in disbelief. "Impossible! First place in this Demon Pursuit Conference can’t belong to anyone but me!"

Chu Lingjun and the others, however, were all smiles.

"Long Chen, congratulations."

Many people came forward to congratulate Long Chen.

In that moment, Long Chen became the center of everyone’s attention, the most dazzling figure present! All eyes were focused on him.

Facing the numerous congratulations, Long Chen responded with a smile.

Chu Zhentian, Shangguan Yuan, and Tuoba Jin also approached Long Chen.

Chu Zhentian looked at Long Chen with deep satisfaction and said, "Long Chen, we owe the Martial Ancestor’s turnaround in this Demon Pursuit Conference to you. You pulled us back from the brink."

"As a disciple of the Martial Sect, it was my duty," Long Chen replied with a faint smile.

Chu Zhentian laughed. "Good! Very good! You are truly a promising talent worth nurturing."

"Of course! Just look at which institute he belongs to," Tuoba Jin said, stroking his beard, a blissful expression on his face.

Chu Zhentian shook his head and chuckled. "I must say, your Human Institute has truly found a treasure."

"Damn it!" Seeing the members of the Martial Ancestor so elated, the Disciples of the Sword Ancestor all wore extremely ugly expressions. Especially An Zhun, Li Man, and Feng Xin. Their faces were ashen, as if they were at a funeral. The look on their faces was priceless.

"Brother An, you see? I told you that you were celebrating too soon," Chu Zhentian said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, his words heavy with meaning. "The time is not yet up, and the outcome is not yet decided. That wasn’t just an idle saying. And now, your Sword Ancestor has been pushed down."

Hearing these words, An Zhun’s entire face went black.

Chu Zhentian felt a rush of satisfaction. He then turned to Li Sheng and cupped his fist. "Sir, the Demon Pursuit Conference is now over. Shouldn’t the final results be announced?"

Li Sheng remained expressionless. He sent a direct voice transmission to Long Chen. "Kid, first place is not for you to take. If you withdraw voluntarily, this old man guarantees you will be handsomely rewarded."

Hearing this, Long Chen’s brows furrowed as he transmitted his reply, "Are you saying you want someone from the Sword Ancestor to take first place?"
