NOVEL WEB Chapter 0343 Token Performance
"Ren Han."
Chen Yu looked at the youth lying not far away, without much surprise.
From the beginning, Chen Yu had suspected that the assassin sent to kill him was a disciple of No Demon Academy.
Later, when the assailant used the "Seven Extremes Demon Palm," Chen Yu had almost guessed his identity.
Ren Han was ranked third in the academy, and the fact that he practiced the "Seven Extremes Demon Palm" was no secret.
Although he was ranked third in No Demon Academy, as a double agent, he had clearly concealed his strength. His real combat power was probably equivalent to Luo Haotian, who was ranked second, or perhaps even stronger.
"You even have True Fire Spirit Flame…" Ren Han stared at Chen Yu, extremely resentful.
Who would have anticipated not only did Chen Yu hide his Bloodline Power, but he also possessed True Fire Spirit Flame?
Moreover, to Ren Han's perception, Chen Yu's True Fire Spirit Flame seemed to be of the Innate Spiritual Flame kind!
Otherwise, how could he possibly have been defeated?
"Don't kill me, I'll tell you the identities of the other undercover agents from No Demon Academy."
Ren Han suddenly spoke up.
"Oh?"
Chen Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly.
There was a rule among the disciples, that there were generous rewards for uncovering double agents.
Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in Chen Yu's eyes.
Although he was attracted by Ren Han's words, he also remained alert for the last-ditch counterattack of a top-notch fighter.
Sure enough, after Ren Han spoke those words, he reached for his storage bag.
"Go to hell!"
Ren Han threw out a black bead.
That bead contained the True Yuan fluctuations of the Guiyuan Realm level.
Ren Han, being the Direct Disciple of an alliance of sects, wouldn't execute such a dangerous mission without some trump cards.
Chen Yu recognized at a glance that it must have been crafted by a Guiyuan Realm expert, encapsulating an attack of the Guiyuan Realm level.
Swoosh!
At the thought, Chen Yu took out a dark purple bead that Yi Lantian had given him from the Light Silver Crystal Space.
At the same time, Chen Yu violently hurled the bead out.
"What…"
Ren Han's expression showed a hint of surprise.
Without any apparent movement to retrieve an object, Chen Yu's hand suddenly produced a dark purple bead.
Boom-bang!
The two beads collided in mid-air, unleashing the terrible force within.
A monstrous wave of Demonic Qi formed and spread continuously.
In the moment of throwing his bead, Chen Yu quickly activated his Secret Pattern Demon Body and retreated backward.
On the other hand, Ren Han was lying on the ground with injuries and was slower in action than Chen Yu.
Also, the expected point of explosion would probably have been closer to Chen Yu than to Ren Han.
But contrary to his hopes, Chen Yu's thunderous reveal of his trump card caused Ren Han's black bead to explode in mid-air.
Bang!
Ren Han's figure was sent flying, smacked onto the ground hard, his complexion pale, spewing out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
"Why…"
Ren Han staring hard at Chen Yu, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Swoosh!
Just then, a dark blue light shot out near Ren Han, biting at his foot.
Ren Han circulated his True Qi and fiercely forced out the Iron Moon Strange Insect.
But at this moment, the Iron Moon Strange Insect had not only a potent poison but was also imbued with a particular demonic intent, making its attack extremely fierce.
Just now, it had bitten Ren Han's foot several times, causing the poison to spread faster.
"No…"
Suffering from the severe injuries and the invasive poison, Ren Han slowly died in his struggle.
It wasn't until after Ren Han had died that Chen Yu approached his corpse and took away his storage bag.
He also took off the precious armor from Ren Han's body and put it on himself.
In the tough skirmish with Ren Han, Chen Yu's beast hide armor had sustained some damage and wouldn't last much longer.
After some thought, Chen Yu still decided to cut off Ren Han's head.
After all, upon returning to the academy, he could get certain rewards with the achievement of having killed an undercover agent.
Ending this battle, Chen Yu quickly left to find No Demon Academy's main force.
On the way, Chen Yu looked into Ren Han's storage bag.
To his shock, the number of Tokens within was only second to Chen Yu's own.
Chen Yu did not know that Ren Han also had plans to make it into the top ten, hence he had collected a vast number of Tokens.
Such a large number of Tokens acquired by the undercover agents had mostly gathered in his hands.
"This is a big win."
Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He had five hundred ninety Tokens in his hand, and he found five hundred Tokens in Ren Han's storage bag. Altogether, Chen Yu now had over a thousand Tokens.
With so many Tokens, Chen Yu's target was no longer just the top ten—there was even hope to break into the top three.
Of course, apart from the black and white Tokens, there were plenty of other good things in Ren Han's storage bag.
Among them, there were four kinds of ores for refining top-quality magical weapons, as well as a dozen kinds of five-hundred-year-old precious materials.
Before long, Chen Yu found the team led by Jin Zhuo Peak.
Afterward, the whole team started searching for Yuan Chen.
However, with the speed of Yuan Chen and Ye Chengfeng, it would be difficult for such a large team to catch up to them.
Two days later, Yuan Chen returned to the team on his own.
He said that Ye Chengfeng had chased him for a day. His True Yuan was exhausted, and he had to give up.
Now, only the last three days were left in the first stage of the competition.
The teams from the four major academies had basically come together, and no one was making any hasty moves.
"I really didn't expect Ren Han to be an undercover agent!"
Yuan Chen looked surprised when he was told and heaved a sigh.
"But Junior Brother, with your strength, could you actually kill Ren Han?"
Yuan Chen suddenly questioned.
After all, Ren Han was ranked third in No Demon Academy.
"Senior Brother underestimates me too much."
Chen Yu smiled and offered no further explanation.
Yuan Chen pondered, the Master had given Chen Yu a life-saving ace, and if used well, it indeed could kill Ren Han.
"Senior brother, what color Token are you short of?"
Chen Yu asked.
The ranking of the top ten in the competition is based on the number of black and white Tokens.
If there were only one hundred black Tokens and two hundred white Tokens, the score would only count one hundred pairs of black and white Tokens.
"I need a few dozen more white Tokens."
Yuan Chen checked his storage bag.
"Perfect, I have some extra white Tokens here."
Thus, the two carried out a Token exchange, maximizing their benefits.
"Now I have enough Tokens in my hands!"
In the last few days, the team from No Demon Academy made no moves.
At least, since Yuan Chen did not act, the others dared not to wander recklessly either.
Meanwhile, Yuan Chen and Chen Yu had been cultivating in seclusion for these days.
The power of the Copper Statue Gang Body had almost entirely transformed into the Secret Pattern Demon Body.
Chen Yu was converting the last bits of true malign Qi into demonic pattern Qi.
Soon, the time for the first segment arrived, the entire space experienced a slight shake, a clear unprecedented fluctuation, which everyone could perceive.
The entire secret realm was controlled by the four major academies.
Under the control of the four major academies, all the survivors among the students emerged from the secret realm.
Atop the Liuyun Mountain Range, the higher-ups of all the academies stood up to watch the students emerge from the secret realm.
When the secret realm passage closed, many faces around showed grief.
Clearly, those who did not come out had all died.
This time, the mortality rate in the first segment of the academy competition was not only high in elimination but also in death.
Even within the four major academies, a considerable number of students had died.
Yi Lantian glanced over at Yuan Chen and Chen Yu with a rather flat expression.
It was Mr. Xu from the Devil Wind Institute who asked aloud, "Where is Ren Han? How come he didn't come back?"
In fact, most of the students from No Demon Academy had not seen Ren Han at all in the secret realm and naturally could not know.
"Master, Ren Han was an assassin and has been killed by your disciple."
Chen Yu secretly transmitted a message to his Master.
Yi Lantian instructed him to announce it publicly here.
"Mr. Xu, within the secret realm space, the traces of the lurking Ren Han were discovered, and he has been slain."
With his Master's permission, Chen Yu spoke out about the matter.
"What?"
Mr. Xu's face showed a hint of surprise, then remained silent.
The crowd was in an uproar.
It was unexpected that Ren Han, ranked third in the No Demon Academy, turned out to be an infiltrator.
Immediately after, Chen Yu produced a Token.
"That's right, the 'Black Prison Alliance' True Disciple's Identity Token."
As soon as this Token was presented, no one else had any objections.
Of course, it wasn't just the No Demon Academy that had discovered infiltrators; the other three major academies also found and executed lurking enemies.
After this matter concluded,
the Vice Chancellor of Yunyang Academy floated up into the sky.
"Now, the first segment has ended, all competing students, present your proof of results!"
The voice of the man in the Golden Cloud Robe echoed throughout the mountain range.
Instantly, all students who had collected ten pairs of Tokens took out their Tokens.
Those who hadn't managed to collect enough quietly withdrew.
But at this moment, nobody paid attention to these failures; almost all eyes were on the leading students of the four major academies.
Ye Chengfeng glanced at Yuan Chen, snorted coldly, and showed his Tokens.
At once, pairs of black and white Tokens floated in mid-air.
"Four hundred and twelve pairs!"
Ye Chengfeng announced in a cool voice.
Four hundred twelve pairs, which amounted to eight hundred twenty-four Tokens.
The number astounded many onlookers.
It seemed as if to purposely suppress Ye Chengfeng, Yunhai Zhen from Yunyang Academy stepped forward.
Black and white lights flickered, his front filled with densely packed Tokens.
"Five hundred ninety-six pairs!"
This number shocked the entire crowd.
The man in the Golden Cloud Robe showed a trace of a smile, nodding his head very satisfied.
Then, Duan Xinyue from Sky Star Academy came forward, presenting her Tokens.
"Three hundred forty-two pairs!"
Duan Xinyue's count of Tokens was far less than Yunhai Zhen's and notably fewer than Ye Chengfeng's.
Of course, the theft of Tokens also involved an element of luck.
For instance, Yin Chengzhuang, ranked third at Yunyang Academy, could only produce a barely sufficient one hundred twenty pairs of Tokens, making even him feel utterly mortified.
"One hundred twenty pairs? Yunyang Academy's third-ranked is a bit too weak, aren't they?"
Some students from the four major academies, and relative ancient clans of the Yin Family, were unforgiving with their mockery.
Following closely, Lv Qiuling from Sky Star Academy, ranked second, also brought out her Tokens, just a little more than Yin Chengzhuang at one hundred sixty-seven pairs.
After all, when Chen Yu had robbed Lv Qiuling of her Tokens, not even half a month had passed in the first segment.
With her abilities as a Beast Tamer, she still had time to plunder a significant number of Tokens.
Lv Qiuling glared fiercely at Chen Yu; with the number of Tokens in her hands, it was a mystery whether she could enter the top ten. And all of this was caused by Chen Yu.
Next, Yuan Chen revealed his Token count, totaling three hundred forty-nine pairs.
The higher-ups of No Demon Academy all nodded.
As students continued to present their Tokens, Chen Yu placed his hand on the storage bag and took out his own Tokens.
Whoosh~
Instantly, an array of black and white Tokens neatly lined up in front of Chen Yu.
Just by area, it was larger than Yuan Chen's.
This startled the high-ranking members of the No Demon Academy.
And the other three major academies, including the second-tier ones, all turned their gaze towards him.
After all, the spread of Chen Yu's Tokens in front of him was really vast and eye-catching; otherwise, why would they bother observing a student at the Innate Middle Stage.
Counting carefully.
"Five hundred thirty-nine pairs!"
To note, even Ye Chengfeng was at four hundred twelve pairs, yet Chen Yu had obtained over a hundred more Tokens than Ye Chengfeng.
