“Um, two bush wolf corpses can be exchanged for 800 contribution points. That’s not too bad. On the first trip to the mountain, many disciples don’t bring back anything. Defeating a few ferocious beasts isn’t difficult, but killing one isn’t so simple.” The deacon said while he recorded, “Do you guys want to accept any other missions?”

“There’s no hurry. May I ask senior brother to help check if there are any five star missions that require blood devouring tigers or forest devouring beasts.” Lu Xuan then said. Before they encountered the iron armor bear, they had also bumped into many different kinds of monsters, however, some of the more clever ones had escaped and Lu Xuan was also too lazy to chase them, but those that didn’t have eyes and searched for him on their own, Lu Xuan had caused to them to stay behind. This blood devouring tiger and forest devouring beast were both such battle trophies.

Hearing Lu Xuan report the names of two more ferocious beasts, the deacon immediately raised his head. Looking at Lu Xuan with surprise, he hadn’t imagined that their harvest would be so large in such a short period of time.

However, thinking to how these people wanted to take a seven star mission at the star, he felt relieved. I imagined that they must have had some strength to be so self-confident.

“The blood devouring tiger mission, 1500 contribution points reward. The forest devouring beast mission, 1200 contribution points reward.”

As the deacon reported the mission rewards, Xia Ye once again took out two corpses. They were the blood devouring tiger and the forest devouring beast. The forest devouring beast looked considerably like a large mouse. The blood devouring tiger was even larger and was almost as big as the flame striped tiger.

The two corpses hit the ground with a thud, immediately attracting the attention of quite a few disciples. Looking at Lu Xuan and the others, their eyes flashed with odd expressions. These people had been pretty lucky. These two corpses were worth 3000 contribution points. That really wasn’t a small amount.

Seeing the deacon put away the corpses, without waiting for him to ask again, Lu Xuan once again spoke: “Senior brother, continue looking if there are any sixth level iron armor bear requests.”

When he said this, the crowd of disciples that were returning missions in the Missions Tower suddenly went up in an uproar.

“He’s joking right? An iron armor bear is a top sixth level ferocious beast! These four people, their highest is only body refining fifth level, their lowest is a mere body refining fourth level. Could they have killed an iron armor bear with just them? I’m guessing that an iron armor bear would have sent them all flying with a single smack of the paw.”

When these words were spoken, some people on the side began to laugh: “It can be seen that you haven’t heard the news yet. See that disciple at the front? Don’t view him as only being body refining fifth level. He’s currently the most famous person in the entire inner sect.”

“Huh? I just got back from the back mountains. I’m not familiar with what has happened in the sect while I was gone. However, it seems like that face should be a new student right? How could his name be famous in the inner sect?”

“That person has been labeled as the sword faction’s hope, Lu Xuan. Although he’s only body refining fifth level, his fighting strength is extremely tough.”

“Lu Xuan? I heard about him. During the sect entrance exam he directly rushed up to the overall standings 300th place, however, with just that, he wouldn’t be the most famous in the sect right? Even an inner sect top two hundred wouldn’t dare to say that he could kill an iron armor bear.”

“That’s why I said you haven’t heard the news yet. Just this morning, he rushed the Sword Forest again. In one fell swoop, he killed a body refining eighth level existence, directly ascending to 86th place!”

There were quite a few disciples in the Missions Tower. They had all come back from the back mountain to return their missions. Suddenly hearing this news now, their faces were filled with amazement. Overall standings top one hundred would be able to place within the top ten of any faction division. To them, this was an undoubtedly powerful existence. More importantly, this Lu Xuan was still a new person and had only entered the sect for a month.

Currently, the look in the eyes of the crowd of disciples directed towards Lu Xuan was completely different. They no longer dared to look down on his body refining fifth level strength.

Seeing people shocked due by the words he said, the speaker couldn’t help feel delighted and continued to say: “If you think Lu Xuan’s name is famous in the inner sect because of that matter, then you’re totally wrong. Hehe, after he came out of the Sword Forest, he directly placed his sword on Xu Wen Yang’s neck. Tsk tsk, half of senior brother Xu’s shirt was dyed red by blood. Which one of you guys would be so courageous?”

“Indeed newborn calves do not fear tigers, ah!” Someone sighed.

“That still needs the other party to have this strength. At the time, vice sect master Jin directly appeared to help Lu Xuan out of the predicament. This face is big enough. Oh yeah, in three months, Lu Xuan will have a duel with the sword faction’s current number one person Lin Tian. At the time, if you’re interested, you can go and watch.”

…

The crowd hadn’t been speaking too loudly, but also hadn’t been speaking softly either. Everyone in the Missions Tower could clearly hear them. The deacon in front of Lu Xuan was naturally no exception.

“So you were Lu Xuan. It seems like I had eyes but couldn’t recognize Mt. Tai. No wonder you directly accepted a seven star mission. Wait one second, I’ll help you look if there are any missions that needed an iron armor bear. Normally, all sixth level ferocious beasts have requests.”

After learning Lu Xuan’s identity, this deacon who had already originally been pretty warm hearted became even warmer. The deacons of the Missions Tower had quite a bit of competition between themselves. The more completed missions that passed through their hands, the higher their commision would be too. Thus, basically each of them had quite a few powerful customers under their hands. For him, Lu Xuan was absolutely a potential for profit, and a very profitable profit at that.

Quite a few disciples that had been prepared to leave also couldn’t help but stay behind. Looking at the new person that dared to challenge Xu Wen Yang, they wanted to see what sort of ferocious beasts he had actually hunted down.

The blade sect was powerful, Xu Wen Yang was even number one in the inner sect, and even if the other eight faction divisions each were wells that didn’t interfere with the river water, they were happy to observe the struggle between the blade faction and the sword faction in the background.

(TN: They mind their own business)

“There it is! An iron armor bear is a top sixth level ferocious beast. The mission reward is pretty good, a full 6000 contribution points.” This deacon said, slightly excited. As long as Lu Xuan could complete this mission, he could earn 60 contribution points commission.

Hearing 6000 contribution points, the eyes of Xia Ye and the others lit up. To them, this could be considered as an enormous sum of money. Previously, the killing the lightning marten mission was only 4000 points. They hadn’t thought the iron armor bear mission would have another half of that. The iron armor bear was stronger than the average lightning marten after all.

Lu Xuan was also a bit moved. Breaking through into the overall standings top two hundred reward was just 8000 points or so. It seemed like completing missions was indeed the fastest way of getting contribution points. Of course, you needed to have sufficient strength in order to do so, otherwise a fourth level ferocious beast was only worth 400 points. That certainly wasn’t a head turner.

After the deacon reported the reward, a huge iron armor bear corpse immediately was pulled out by Xing Feng. The onlookers eyes fell upon it. My goodness, it was a genuine iron armor bear. It seemed like Lu Xuan’s evaluation really hadn’t been overdone at all. Even an average martial artist that had just entered body refining seventh level wouldn’t necessarily be able to beat an iron armor bear alone. Lu Xuan was only body refining fifth level. What level of combat genius was this?

Having taken out all of the ferocious beasts that they had dealt with accidentally, Lu Xuan also let out a breath. This time their luck had been pretty good. All these guys had requests. Just these missions had let them freely earn almost 10000 contribution points.

“Xing Feng, take out the golden lightning marten corpse, return the mission.” Lu Xuan commanded Xing Feng. They had already taken the lightning marten mission, naturally they didn’t need to ask for it.

With another flash of light, the golden lightning marten corpse was immediately tossed out by Xing Feng. Seeing its small corpse, the crowd of disciples stared in disbelief!

It was actually a golden lightning marten! This guy was even stronger compared to the iron armor bear. More importantly it was was extremely because a golden lightning marten had to evolve from a normal lightning marten and were very few in number. Secondly, it was also because the golden lightning marten’s speed was extremely fast. Even if it had been defeated by someone, trying to kill it was incredibly difficult. Without speaking of anything else, solely its last ditch method of ten thousand arrow hairs would be enough to discourage a majority of martial artists.

“You guys, actually, what you found was a golden lightning marten!” Carefully looking it over and finding that it was a genuine golden lightning marten, the deacon couldn’t entirely speak clearly.

Feeling as if the deacon’s tone wasn’t quite right, Lu Xuan hesitantly said: “What, can a golden lightning marten not fulfill the mission? Although the mission we took was for a lightning marten, the golden lightning marten is more rare and powerful. There shouldn’t be a problem right?”

Hearing this, the deacon waved his hands frantically: “No, no, no. You misunderstood. Of course, there’s no problem. It’s just, because the golden lightning marten is so hard to find, there is a specific mission require to find a golden lightning marten. The mission reward is a full 15000 contribution points!”

This mission had already been hanging in the Missions Tower for a long time. Quite a few disciples all knew about it, however none of them had ever been able to find one. They could only let the matter rest. Who would have known that Lu Xuan’s luck would be so good. This was 15000 contribution points. That amount of resources that represented mean that his strength could probably go up a large amount again.

Thinking of this, the crowd watched Lu Xuan with eyes full of jealousy and hate.

15000 points!

Lu Xuan heard this number loud and clear. A seven star mission was only 10000 points. He hadn’t thought that the golden lightning marten would actually be worth so much. It seemed like his character was indeed pretty good. A normal level golden lightning marten would have been in a higher level area, however, this one had just evolved not too long ago, and thus was caught by Lu Xuan.

“Haha, Xia Ye, this time you’ve put in a huge effort. This injury you received was worth a lot!” Xing Feng couldn’t help but slap Xia Ye on the back.

“Aiya, be gentler. It hurts.” Although Xia Ye grimaced in pain, he couldn’t hold back the smile on his face. If he had known long ago that this guy was worth so much, even if he had to let his left shoulder also get swiped, he’d be willing.

“There is also this flame striped tiger. Count it up together. Lets see how many contribution points we have in total.” Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate any longer and directly pulled the flame striped tiger corpse out of his storage ring.

The crowd of disciples still hadn’t digested the shock brought from the golden lightning marten being brought out. They hadn’t thought that Lu Xuan would actually once again drop such a heavy bomb. Although the flame striped tiger’s contribution points weren’t worth as much as the golden lightning marten’s, its strength was even stronger!
