Chapter 61: One Million Points, Ma Yuan Testifies

Such a grand occasion had not occurred in the Wenxian Sect for many years.

However, not everyone was as excited.

Zhao Gang of the Blood Demon Sect, who was also teleported out, looked moody at the moment.

"Ye Chen is actually not dead and even went to the sixth floor. Such terrifying individuals, the Wenxian Sect actually produced two, Zhou Chen and Ye Chen. These two must not be allowed to live."

Zhao Gang made up his mind, intending to quietly hide in an unmanned corner and inform the Blood Demon Sect of this important information while the surrounding Disciples were not paying attention.

The grand cheering lasted for a long time, and the Elders did not stop it. Zhou Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.

Zhou Chen looked towards the grandstand where the Sect Master was and found Liu Qingtian nodding slightly at him. He also nodded in response.

When he looked to the side again, his eyes met Liu Qianru's burning gaze.

Zhou Chen smiled and nodded at her.

Seeing Zhou Chen's brilliant smile, Liu Qianru somehow felt her heart beat a little faster. She turned her head away unnaturally, with only her slightly flushed cheeks proving the turmoil in her heart at this moment.

This left Zhou Chen a bit bewildered.

Gradually, Disciples who were eliminated or severely injured were continuously teleported out, with light constantly flickering.

Zhou Chen deliberately restrained his Foundation Establishment Stage 10 cultivation, only displaying Foundation Establishment Stage 7.

The slightly unstable aura on him made people believe he had just experienced a Breakthrough.

After a little over half an hour, all Disciples were finally teleported out. Only 70% of the Disciples managed to come out safely this time, so the elimination rate was not low.

The remaining 30% who did not come out either died in the mouth of a Yao Beast or were unlucky and ambushed.

After all, no one would investigate, as the Immortal Realm had always been so cruel, and dead people had no value.

Zhou Chen walked calmly and steadily towards the integral statistics area. He had truthfully informed the Sect about the Demonic Path Disciples' situation and handed over their tokens to the Sect.

With the testimony of the Disciples he had saved earlier, Zhou Chen's bonus points were a sure thing.

On the towering giant stele in the center of the square, the integral rankings scrolled from time to time.

"Look! Ye Chen's name is lit up! Integral… 0?"

"Hiss– 250,000! Did this Zhou Chen poke a Yao Beast's nest or blow up the first floor of the Asking Immortal Tower?"

"How is that possible? The highest score just now was only 100,000!"

"I remember Zhou Chen was only Foundation Establishment Stage 4 when he went in, right? Even if he was lucky enough to find a treasure, it's impossible to have so many integrals, right? Is there a mistake?"

"Shh! Lower your voice, the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall is watching over there! The integral jade token has the Sect's Restriction core, so the possibility of error is extremely small!"

The crowd stirred even more. On the upper part of the giant stele, behind "Ye Chen"'s name, the integral instantly jumped from zero to Ye Chen: 300,000!

"300,000?! From zero to 300,000? What's going on?"

"Are you stupid! The golden light of protection that came out earlier! He's the Disciple who entered the sixth floor! It's a Sect iron rule, anyone who can step onto the sixth floor, regardless of their integral, gets an immediate bonus of 300,000 integrals!"

"Oh my god! It really is Ye Chen! I knew he wasn't simple! Entering the sixth floor! How many people have done that in ten thousand years?"

"Zhou Chen also entered the sixth floor. The 250,000 displayed just now definitely hasn't finished calculating his integrals!"

Just then, a not-so-conspicuous white light lit up again, and the integral number behind Zhou Chen's name suddenly jumped—Zhou Chen: 1,050,000 integrals!

A full 1,050,000!

The entire square instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at that astronomical figure.

A million integrals, this was unheard of in previous Core Trials!

"One… one million five thousand?!"

A Disciple's voice was a little sharp due to extreme shock.

"What on earth did he do?!"

"This Zhou Chen… is he still human?" Someone muttered, completely stunned.

"Did Zhou Chen succeed in leaving his name? Otherwise, how do you explain these integrals?!"

Someone made a bold guess, but it was immediately refuted.

"That shouldn't be! The integral reward for successfully leaving a name is the same as entering the sixth floor, with no extra points! How could the Asking Immortal Tower's rules be false? Zhou Chen must have achieved this through sheer strength!"

On the high platform, the Elders could no longer remain calm.

Grand Elder Li Hu stared at the direction Ye Chen was carried away, then looked at the 1,050,000 hanging at the top of the list.

The brief joy brought by Ye Chen's 300,000 integrals was instantly doused by Zhou Chen's integrals.

Sect Master Liu Qingtian, seated at the head, his gaze as sharp as an eagle, pierced through the restless crowd and landed steadily on Zhou Chen.

A hint of relief and a hint of scrutiny quickly flashed in his eyes, eventually settling into calm.

Zhou Chen had broken through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Stage 7, far exceeding expectations, but these million integrals were truly astonishing.

Liu Qianru stood behind Liu Qingtian, her beautiful eyes also filled with shock.

She stared intently at Zhou Chen's back. Based on what she knew about Zhou Chen during this period, she believed Zhou Chen had achieved this through his strength…

However, there was still a hint of doubt about the process.

At this moment, the top twenty had almost been finalized, with a terrifying number prominently at the top—First Place: Zhou Chen, Integrals 1,050,000!

Zhou Chen's integrals had a cliff-like lead!

Second Place: Ye Chen, Integrals 300,000!

Third Place: Zhang Lei, Integrals 200,000!

Fourth Place: Wang Xiaoyu, Total Integrals 190,000!

Fifth Place: Zhao Gang, Total Integrals 180,000!

……

The integral statistics desk was jointly managed by three Elders from the Law Enforcement Hall, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Seeing Zhou Chen approach calmly, the leading Elder restrained the unusual expression on his face and said in a deep voice.

"Zhou Chen, step forward to verify your backup integral jade token and present other evidence of integral acquisition or explain the source of large amounts."

It turned out that to prevent Disciples from cheating, the Wenxian Sect had given everyone two integral jade tokens: one for primary use, which had a teleportation function.

There was also a backup one, which only had the function of recording data.

Zhou Chen handed over the backup integral jade token.

A Law Enforcement Elder took out an ancient bronze mirror. The mirror surface glowed, enveloping the jade token.

The mirror clearly reflected the integral composition—

Hunting Yao Beasts: Killing Yao Beasts from layers 1-5, including two Early Stage Core Formation ones at most, 150,000;

Collecting various spiritual materials: 120,000;

Token transfer integrals: 180,000;

Killing 3 Demonic Path Disciples: Integral reward 300,000!

Entering the sixth floor of the Asking Immortal Tower: Integral reward 300,000!

When this last number lit up, the surrounding air seemed to solidify!

All the Elders' pupils contracted!

All the high-level officials on the high platform all stood up with a whoosh!

"Demonic Path Dark Guards?! Three of them?! Zhou Chen, is this true?"

The voice of the Sect's Seventh Elder carried an almost imperceptible tremor.

This was a major event concerning the Sect's safety!

Although there had been sporadic reports from Disciples encountering suspected Demonic Path individuals before, there was no concrete evidence yet.

"Yes, this Disciple would not dare to speak rashly. I have already presented the evidence to the three Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall."

Zhou Chen's voice was calm and strong, making it convincing.
