Xiao Wenjie stepped forward, looked at the students below, and said, "Everyone, quiet down! The field expedition is now over. Many students have seen a significant increase in their strength, but of course, so have also paid with their lives.
With sacrifice cos reward. The academy is quite satisfied with this field expedition. Of course, so unpleasant things also happened, but we will address those after the awards ceremony.
The number of Magic Crystals obtained determines your ranking in the competition. Of course, not every student will have the chance to co up to the arena stage and present their Magic Crystals. Only students who have collected at least twenty are eligible.
So, those of you without twenty Magic Crystals should just stay put below. These Magic Crystals contain powerful Energy that can be absorbed, which is very helpful for your Cultivation!
For every student who cos on stage, the number of Magic Crystals they present will be announced to everyone. The academy is committed to treating every student fairly and ensuring that the first-place winner is truly deserving.
Now, everyone, line up. There are instructors on the stage dedicated to counting the Magic Crystals. There are three large desks on the stage, one for each of the Basic, Interdiate, and Advanced Level students. Students who have obtained twenty Magic Crystals, please co up in order!"
As Xiao Wenjie's voice fell, the crowd erupted in thunderous applause and screams. So were excited, others were dejected; after all, the academy's huge rewards were at stake.
There were several thousand people in the academy, and quite a few had obtained twenty Magic Crystals. In each round, one person from the Basic, Interdiate, and Advanced Classes would go to the stage. The order would proceed from Class One to Class Five, one person from each class at a ti, to avoid keeping everyone waiting for too long.
After all, many people were focused on the honors classes. Students of every level shared this mindset. If a student from a regular class had more Magic Crystals than one from an advanced class, the crowd would erupt in cheers.
Students from all three levels went up to the stage. The Advanced Class student took out his Magic Crystals—a rather large pile of them on the desk. The instructor in charge of counting the Magic Crystals counted them slowly, as they also needed to distinguish the crystal's grade.
So Magic Crystals were worth two or three, so even ten, though such crystals weren't common. Still, they had to be inspected carefully.
The instructor for the Basic Level Class was the first to announce a result. "So-and-so, twenty-six Magic Crystals!"
Next was the Interdiate Class instructor. "So-and-so, thirty-seven Magic Crystals!"
Finally, the instructor for the Advanced Class said, "So-and-so, fifty-nine Magic Crystals!"
After the Magic Crystal counts for the first group of students were announced, the instructors would record the results. Then, the second group went up.
Ti passed minute by minute, and there were so surprises. One student from the Advanced Class actually had a total of one hundred seventy-four Magic Crystals, the highest count out of the hundred-plus groups so far.
In the Basic Level Class, a student had obtained over seventy Magic Crystals, currently holding first place in their division. And this student was not from an honors class, but a regular one, which was sowhat unbelievable.
"Brother Tian, how many Magic Crystals do you have, anyway? I bet you have at least a hundred. You'll definitely get first place in the Basic Level Class!" Ye Feifei asked in a whisper.
"I don't know the exact number myself. I think I should be able to get first place, but surprises can happen. It's best not to get our hopes up too high. The disappointnt if I fall short would be hard to take," Ye Tian said with a smile.
"Boss, don't be so modest! With your strength, first place is definitely yours. We're waiting to get a share of your reward, you know! How can you lose heart now!" Zhou Xiang chid in.
"We'll see when the ti cos! There are still over twenty people ahead of , so we'll know the results soon enough!" Ye Tian said. He said this because there were only six students left behind him, aning the count for the Basic Level Class was nearing its end.
There were still quite a few students left from the Interdiate and Advanced Classes. After all, with their greater strength, they naturally obtained more Magic Crystals. For so many Basic Level students to have acquired Magic Crystals at all was already very satisfying for Xiao Wenjie and Guan Tianshui.
However, the two of them were still very curious to know the number of Magic Crystals Ye Tian had obtained. If he could take first place, it would be natural to lighten his punishnt, which would make it more acceptable to everyone.
anwhile, Lin Ling and Xiao Yaoyao's eyes were fixed on Ye Tian's group. Seeing him with Ye Feifei and Zhang Xinlan made them feel more than a little uncomfortable.
Just then, the instructor on stage in charge of the Advanced Class students' Magic Crystals shouted loudly, "Five hundred twenty-seven Magic Crystals! A student from the Advanced Class has obtained five hundred and twenty-seven Magic Crystals!"
The astronomical number of five hundred twenty-seven imdiately registered in everyone's minds. All eyes turned to the student. He was exceptionally handso and elegant, the very picture of a dashing and refined gentleman.
The female students in the Advanced Class let out pig-like squeals, each one overco with excitent. They couldn't have been more infatuated!
"That's the number one student in the Advanced Class! It's completely normal for him to have so many Magic Crystals! Now that's what you call a well-deserved reputation! No one can surpass him. First place is a lock for him now. He's guaranteed a spot in the Imperial City Academy for sure," a student shouted, as if afraid others didn't know.
Ye Tian was slightly startled when he heard the number, but he didn't dwell on it. 'Maybe I don't have as many Magic Crystals as that student,' he thought, 'but so high-grade ones can be worth a hundred. I still have a chance to beat him.'
A few monts later, it was finally Ye Tian's turn to go up. As the center of everyone's attention, his appearance on stage imdiately sparked another round of discussion, much of it not very pleasant.
"As the most badass figure in the Basic Level Class, I wonder if Ye Tian even has a hundred Magic Crystals. If he has less than a student from a regular class, that would be a huge embarrassnt!" a student from a regular class remarked.
"It's hard to say. So people just get lucky and are always surrounded by beauties. It's a miracle he's even here. I'm actually looking forward to seeing his Magic Crystal count!" said another student.
Ye Tian naturally heard these comnts but paid them no mind. He walked up to the desk and slowly took out the Magic Crystals he was carrying. Of course, at this mont, the attention of Xiao Wenjie, Guan Tianshui, and all the other instructors was fixed on him.
It was as if the other two students on stage were completely ignored. The most nerve-wracking mont had begun. Ye Tian placed a large pile of Magic Crystals on the desk, but it didn't look like there were as many as the Advanced Class student's. This caused Xiao Wenjie and Guan Tianshui to feel a slight sense of disappointnt.
"Is this all of your Magic Crystals? I'll begin the count then!" the instructor in charge of counting said…
