The monster cores were quickly counted. The old man in charge of the review said,"There are a total of ninety-eight monster cores here. This is your Space Belt.”With that, the old man took out a jade green Space Belt and handed it to Jian Chen. This was the belt that his father, Changyang Ba, had given him when he had left the Changyang clan.
Jian Chen looked at the Space Belt in his hand and hesitated for a moment before saying,"Teacher, I'll leave this belt with you for now. I'll return the Space Belt to the academy after the evaluation.”
Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly and asked in confusion,"Why?" Perhaps it was because Jian Chen had obtained nearly a hundred monster cores, but the old man's attitude towards Jian Chen had clearly changed.
"Teacher, I still have Class 2 Monster Cores in my Space Belt. I still have to participate in the assessment for Class 2 Monster Cores.”Jian Chen said calmly. Right now, he was only going to examine Class 1 Monster Cores. Class 2 Monster Cores would only be examined after Class 1 Monster Cores were examined.
"Hmm, what? You still have Class 2 Monster Cores?" A sliver of disbelief appeared in the old man's eyes when he heard that. He looked at Jian Chen suspiciously. Not only him, even the other teachers sitting on the high platform had the same expression as him.
"Yes, teacher!" Jian Chen nodded.”
Hearing this, the old man took a deep breath and looked at Jian Chen with a serious expression. At this moment, he realized that he had underestimated Changyang Xiangtian, who had been rumored to be a genius in the academy. However, he didn't waste his breath on this matter and waved his hand,"Alright then, keep these monster cores and continue to participate in the second round of the assessment.”
Afterwards, Jian Chen placed the monster cores back into his Space Belt and left the stage. However, whether it was the teachers or the students, the way they looked at Jian Chen had completely changed. There was no lack of jealousy and envy in their complicated gazes, and there were also some disdainful gazes.
After walking down the platform, Jian Chen did not return to the crowd. Instead, he went to the group of people who were waiting for the Class 2 Monster Cores to be examined. With the exception of Changyang Hu and the others, the Saint students who were waiting for the monster core examination all revealed a look of surprise and doubt. They had not met Jian Chen in the 3rd region, so it was clear that they were very curious about a person who had not even reached the Saint level to hand over Class 2 Monster Cores. They found it hard to believe that Jian Chen would dare to enter the 3rd region to hunt Class 2 Magical Beasts and obtain at least two Class 2 Monster Cores.
Tie Ta stood behind Jian Chen. After Jian Chen walked down the platform, Tie Ta also walked up to the teacher in charge of the assessment.
It was no longer a secret that Tie Ta was the headmaster of Kargath Academy, so all the teachers in the academy recognized Tie Ta. Seeing Tie Ta come up, the old man in charge of the assessment couldn't help but smile."Tie Ta, I wonder how much you've gained this time.”
Tie Ta chuckled but did not say anything. He copied Jian Chen's actions and reached into his Space Belt to pull out a handful of monster cores. He gently placed them on the table. Because Tie Ta's hands were relatively large, he had pulled out a total of 14 to 15 monster cores.
Looking at the fourteen to fifteen monster cores on the table, the old man in charge of reviewing revealed a smile."As expected of the person that the dean has taken a fancy to. Although he looks a little tough and lacks shrewdness, his talent is amazing.”
Tie Ta did not stop for even a moment after taking out the fifteen monster cores. He grabbed the monster cores from his Space Belt one by one. Gradually, under the shocked gazes of the teachers and students, more and more monster cores appeared on the table. There were now several dozen monster cores.
Tie Ta only stopped when he had taken out more than a hundred monster cores. Seeing how many monster cores he had collected, Tie Ta chuckled and happily said,"Teacher, these are the monster cores I obtained.”
At this moment, the surrounding teachers and students were so shocked that they were speechless. They looked at the hundreds of monster cores on the table with disbelief.
The old man in charge of the assessment took a deep breath. He looked deeply at Tie Ta and slowly said,"Good, good. Tie Ta, you did well. You didn't embarrass your master.”With that, the old man lowered his head and began to count the monster cores. He did not ask Tie Ta how he had obtained them. He had already connected Tie Ta's method of obtaining the monster cores with Jian Chen's.
Very soon, the old man finished counting the number of monster cores and said,"There are a total of 97 monster cores here.”As he spoke, the old man began to record his little skill with a pen.
After recording everything, the old man took out an exquisitely crafted black Space Belt and a badge of honor from under the table and handed it to Tie Ta."Tie Ta, this is your Space Belt and your badge of honor. Put away the monster cores and return the Space Belt to the academy.”
It was obvious that this was a high-grade Space Belt given to Tie Ta by the headmaster of Kargath Academy after he became his disciple. Otherwise, as a child born in a commoner's family, it was impossible for him to wear a high-level item like a Space Belt. Even though Space Belts were very common on the Tian Yuan Continent, they were not something that commoners could possess.
Tie Ta's gaze lingered on the black Space Belt for a moment before he shook his head."Teacher, I'll leave this Space Belt with you for now. I still have Class 2 Monster Cores.”
"What?! You also have a Class 2 Monster Core?" Hearing this, the old man in charge of the review revealed a very surprised expression, and there was a faint hint of disbelief.
Hearing Tie Ta's words, the teachers sitting on the stage couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief. They hadn't thought that after Jian Chen, there would be a student who hadn't even reached the Saint level who would obtain a Class 2 Monster Core.
The old man in charge of the review hesitated for a moment before saying,"Tie Ta, have you been to the third region?”Even though the old man's question had exceeded his duty, he could not help but feel extremely curious. Even though he had already guessed a thing or two, he could not be certain without getting a definite answer from Tie Ta.
Tie Ta nodded slightly and said in a muffled voice,"Yes, I've been to the third region.”
The old man in charge of the review continued to ask,""Did you obtain those Class 2 Monster Cores from hunting magical beasts?”Although the old man's question had exceeded his duty, no one came out to stop him. This was because he was not the only one who was extremely curious about this matter. Even all the teachers on the high platform were the same. They all wanted to know the exact answer in their hearts.
"A portion of it was obtained by Changyang Xiang Tian and I hunting magical beasts.”Tie Ta didn't hide anything, but he only said half of it.
Hearing this, the old man revealed a look of disbelief and said,"What?! You're saying that you and Changyang Xiang Tian can kill Class 2 Magical Beasts?”
Tie Ta nodded.”
This answer shocked all the teachers on the stage, and even more of them were in disbelief. Two people who weren't even Saints were actually able to kill a Class 2 Magical Beast together. This was the first time something like this had happened since Kargath Academy was established.
Afterward, Tie Ta packed up his monster cores and walked down from the platform. He stood behind Jian Chen as he walked to the crowd waiting for the Class 2 Monster Core examination. However, Jian Chen and Tie Ta had already become the most eye-catching people present. The people who had failed the examination looked at Jian Chen and Tie Ta with envy. Many of them had been chased by Class 1 Magical Beasts in the 2nd region, but they had never thought that Jian Chen and Tie Ta, who weren't much stronger than them, would be able to obtain more than a hundred Class 1 Monster Cores and even Class 2 Monster Cores. This made them feel extremely unfair, and many of the older students felt extremely ashamed.
Very soon, the examination of Class 1 Monster Cores was completed. Among the Class 1 Monster Cores, Jian Chen had obtained the most, with a total of 98 monster cores. Tie Ta was in second place with one less monster core than Jian Chen. The difference between the two of them and Mu Tian was several times greater.
In the crowd, Mu Tian stared at Jian Chen and Tie Ta with a strange light in his eyes. He mumbled to himself,"Tie Ta, Changyang Xiang Tian, you truly live up to your reputation. You're worthy of being able to defeat a Saint. I really want to find a chance to spar with the two of you.”
Although Jian Chen and Tie Ta had stolen the limelight, Mu Tian did not show any dissatisfaction at all. He was rather calm, as if this was nothing to him. It did not affect him at all.
At this moment, Changyang Hu arrived in front of Jian Chen with an excited expression. He whispered,"Fourth brother, the two of you are really too abnormal. In these three days, each of you actually obtained nearly a hundred monster cores.”Changyang Hu's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement as he looked at Jian Chen with pride.
Jian Chen smiled but did not say anything. Suddenly, Jian Chen's eyes narrowed as if he had sensed something. He immediately turned around and saw a young man in tattered clothes looking at him with hatred. The killing intent in his eyes was not hidden at all. The sharpness in his eyes made Jian Chen frown.
However, when Jian Chen carefully examined the youth's appearance, he immediately understood. He was none other than Luo Jian, who had been robbed of all his monster cores by Jian Chen. At that time, not only had Luo Jian's monster cores been taken away by Jian Chen's group, but he had also been heavily injured. Although it hadn't affected his movements much, he had completely lost his ability to fight. As a result, the group of people didn't have the ability to steal other people's monster cores or hunt magical beasts anymore. Therefore, Luo Jian and his team's mission ended in failure.
Jian Chen revealed a faint smile on his face as a look of disdain appeared on his face. He didn't take Luo Jian to heart at all. Jian Chen had seen many people like Luo Jian in his previous life, but there were very few people who could truly cause a storm.
The second round of monster core examination began very quickly. The students who had reached the Saint level walked up to the platform one by one. However, there were two exceptions. Other than Jian Chen and Tie Ta, who had not reached the Saint level, everyone else had reached the Saint level.
The teacher in charge of inspecting the Class 2 Monster Cores was still the old man, and the speed of the examination was extremely fast. Due to the monster cores being robbed everywhere in the 3rd region, the monster cores obtained by the several hundred students were all gathered in the hands of the thirty to forty people present. As a result, each of them had far more than two monster cores, and many of them had taken out more than ten Class 2 Monster Cores. There were even quite a few who had obtained twenty to thirty monster cores.
