Monarch Of Time

Chapter 82 - 82 Not first place?

Elder Zhu looked at the young man who had hidden his hands behind his back and just smirked as he said

ʼʼShow me your handsʼʼ

The young man started sweating as he shook his head, but Elder Zhu just moved behind him as he pried open his hands and took a small beast core that this young man was holding.

ʼʼTsk, just a middle rank 1 beast core? Come here.ʼʼ

As he heard Elder Zhuʼs voice, the young man took a step forward and Elder Zhu started his body search. After finding nothing else Elder Zhu was disappointed. He then looked at the young man and said in a generous tone

ʼʼYou are lucky kid. I will give you 50 sect points for this beast core.ʼʼ

The young man however, shook his head at Elder Zhu.

Elder Zhu then frowned as he asked in a commanding voice

ʼʼWhat? Donʼt tell me that you donʼt want to exchange this small middle rank 1 beast core. Could it be that you want me to expel you from the sect then? If you keep refusing I will have no other choice.ʼʼ

The young manʼs face paled instantly as he heard about being expelled from the sect and hurriedly shook his head as he said

ʼʼElder, i-itʼs not that. I-I have just heard from a senior sister from the ʼFlying sword sectʼ that... the Elders of the 4 sects may not be fair to small disciples like me when they purchase our goods.ʼʼ

The young man spoke weakly, and Elder Zhu looked towards the group of the ʼFlying sword sectʼ in anger before he turned his attention to the young man in front of him and said

ʼʼWho said that?? Ask your fellow disciples here if I have treated any of them unfairly.ʼʼ

As Elder Zhu finished speaking he turned his head to look at the nearly 40.000 disciples of the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ behind him, who then turned their heads away as if they didnʼt dare to make eye contact with him.

Shun Longʼs mouth was agape at Elder Zhuʼs shamelessness. His face was probably thicker than the ʼfloating cloud cityʼsʼ walls, for him to be able to spout lies like that in broad daylight. A middle rank 1 beast core could easily be sold for 70 sect points in the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ and yet he was ʼrighteouslyʼ purchasing it for 50 points here.

Even Elder Lu Cheng and Grand Elder Lan Hong, felt their faces somewhat redden as they heard Elder Zhuʼs words.

The young man suspiciously handed his middle rank 1 beast core to Elder Zhu, who then transferred him 50 sect points in his sect jade.

After patting this young manʼs shoulder, Elder Lu looked at the last person in the line, Shun Long.

Shun Long shrugged in indifference as he took out a rank 2 early beast core, making everyoneʼs eyes widen. Even the strongest people in this ʼouter sect examinationʼ belonging to the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ like the peak rank 3 earth grade Guan Hong, could at most kill an early rank 2 magic beast.

Although they couldnʼt sense Shun Longʼs cultivation as he had completely hidden it with the ʼMonarchʼs Hourglassʼ, most disciples thought that he must be a peak rank 3 earth grade expert who had hidden himself before the sect exam.

After all, magic beasts at the middle of rank 2 and higher, were strong enough to easily kill rank 4 earth grade experts, so an early rank 2 magic beast was the limit for these disciples.

Although some disciples at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade could team up to defeat a middle rank 2 magic beast, the possibilities of killing the beast were almost nil. After all defeating and killing a magic beast were 2 completely different things.

Most disciples looked at Shun Long in pity. Being forced to give the beast core of a middle rank 2 magic beast that he had worked hard to kill must have been heart-tearing for him.

Elder Zhu however, looked at Shun Long with shining eyes as he patted his shoulder and said

ʼʼGood job, This is how disciples of the sect should conduct themselves. Helping the sect is also helping yourself.

Right, give me your sect identifying jade now. I will give you 1000 sect points for this beast core, as well as count your survival points.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhat is your name kid?ʼʼ

ʼʼShun Longʼʼ

ʼʼYou did very well!ʼʼ Elder Zhu then, turned his head to look at the rest of the ʼfloating cloud sectʼsʼ members as he said

ʼʼThe first place in our ʼfloating cloud sectʼ, belongs to Shun Long who has gathered 118 survival points.ʼʼ

Everyone from the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ who heard this were shocked, including Elder Lu Cheng and Grand Elder Lan Hong. The previous person in the first place had only gathered a bit more than 80 survival points.

Among the group of shocked disciples were Xiao Shitou and Lin Wu, who looked at Shun Long incredulously. Due to the huge transformation that had occurred in his body thanks to the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ, they only recognized him after Elder Zhu had called out his name.

Lei Xiang and her followers however, were the only ones who looked at Shun Long with eyes that were spitting fire when they remembered how Shun Long had robbed them of all their sect points back in the outer region.

Aside from Lei Xiang, one more person looked at Shun Long with hostility, the red haired Guan Hong. Before Shun Long arrived, Guan Hong was certain that he would obtain the 100 spirit stones that the sect would give to the first place winner along with a spatial ring when they returned. There was also the 100.000 sect points that the person who got first would also obtain. Although second place would only get 100 sect points less, there was a huge drop in prestige between being first or second from the sect.

A mocking voice however, brought everyone from the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ back in reality as the Grand Elder from the ʼFlying sword sectʼ Hui Zhong looked at Grand Elder Lan Hong and said
