All eyes fell on Ye Tian and the instructor. Ye Tian certainly had a lot of Magic Crystals. It would be no problem for a student from the Basic Level Class to take first place in his division, but taking the top spot in the overall count was likely out of his reach.
"Four hundred and sixteen Magic Crystals! Four hundred and sixteen Magic Crystals!" the instructor repeated, clearly stunned by the number. After all, Ye Tian was a student from the Basic Level Class, yet his total surpassed the Magic Crystals collected by students from both the Interdiate Class and the Advanced Class.
"So that's Ye Tian! As expected, he's incredible! To think he has so many Magic Crystals. I really don't know how that kid managed it," a student in the crowd couldn't help but say.
"There's no way he got all those Magic Crystals by himself. He must have cheated! It's not fair, even if he gets first place!" another person said.
"Ye Tian, do you have any higher-level Magic Crystals? If you do, take them out. That's how you'll have a chance at first place, so don't hold back now!" Guan Tianshui said.
"I do. Quite a few, in fact. But I'm afraid if I take them out, it will cause a panic. It's better if I don't. Otherwise, this first-place title will beco even more controversial," Ye Tian said nonchalantly.
Guan Tianshui glanced at Ye Tian and said, "You killed the Earth-Split Demon Turtle, right? If you took out its Magic Crystal, first place would be yours for the taking!"
"The Earth-Split Demon Turtle doesn't have a Magic Crystal, only an Earth Elental Spirit Pearl. Of course, a Spirit Pearl is far more valuable than a Magic Crystal, but even if I showed it, there's no way to tell how many normal Magic Crystals it would be worth. I do have a few Elental Magic Crystals, but I'd rather not take them out in a situation like this, just so people can't say I'm bullying them," Ye Tian said nonchalantly.
His voice wasn't loud, but many people heard him, including the Advanced Class student currently ranked first. Fury instantly flared in his heart, and he couldn't stop himself from roaring at Ye Tian on the stage,
"Don't be so arrogant, kid! If you have them, take them out. If you don't, then get off the stage! Do you really think Advanced Elental Magic Crystals are sothing just anyone can obtain? What makes a re student from the Basic Level Class like you worthy?"
Ye Tian glanced at the student and said, "So what if you're in the Advanced Class? I was planning to let you have first place, but since you don't know how to appreciate a good thing, I'll make you lose so convincingly you won't have a single complaint."
Ye Tian's words ignited even more anger among the students. Curses and argunts erupted endlessly, and the entire Martial Arts Training Ground instantly beca a cacophony of noise.
After glancing around at the crowd, Ye Tian smiled faintly. "These are my Elental Magic Crystals. I wonder if they're enough to beat that arrogant fellow!"
Ye Tian took out three Magic Crystals, all from Tier Four Demon Beasts. One Magic Crystal from a Tier Four Demon Beast was worth approximately one hundred regular ones, making his three equivalent to three hundred. This ant Ye Tian's Magic Crystal count had now reached seven hundred and sixteen, over one hundred more than the student in first place.
"Ye Tian's Magic Crystal count is seven hundred and sixteen! He is now the student with the highest number of Magic Crystals! This is truly a surprise!" the instructor announced loudly to the crowd.
However, the other instructors stared intently at the three Magic Crystals Ye Tian had produced. These were from Tier Four Demon Beasts, and Elental Demon Beasts at that. They were extrely rare and exceptionally difficult to acquire. Even an instructor with the strength of Four Veins would have a hard ti slaying one.
"Ye Tian, how did you acquire these Magic Crystals? If you didn't obtain them by slaying Demon Beasts, then you cheated, and these three crystals won't count!" an Advanced Class instructor couldn't help but say.
His words caused a huge stir. The instructor's accusation won the support of many more students, who all began to clamor that Ye Tian's three Magic Crystals shouldn't be counted.
Ye Tian didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at the instructor and said, "It should be possible to tell when these Magic Crystals were obtained, right? Then I'll have to ask you, Instructor, to check if they were acquired during the field exercise. If you can't tell, I'm sure the two Directors can.
"After that, everyone will understand whether or not I cheated. And when that ti cos, I hope I don't hear anyone here still whining about it!"
The instructor's face flushed slightly. He glanced at Ye Tian before saying, "Determining a Magic Crystal's age requires observing the activity of its surface Elent Particles. This requires a very high level of skill. Although I have the strength of Four Veins, appraising the Magic Crystal of a High-Tier Demon Beast is still a bit difficult for .
"That is sothing only the two Directors can do, so you had better let them perform the appraisal!"
Ye Tian knew his words had just wounded the instructor's pride, but he had no other choice if he didn't want to be mistaken for a cheater.
"Then I'll ask the two Directors to please help check if these three Magic Crystals were obtained during the field exercise, just so no one can accuse of cheating!" Ye Tian said.
"I'll do it!" Xiao Wenjie said, promptly walking to the table. He picked up one of the Magic Crystals and examined it carefully.
After a mont, a white light suddenly surged from Xiao Wenjie's hand and enveloped the Magic Crystal. The crystal began to spin continuously in his palm, and at the sa ti, a terrifying aura emanated from it, making it feel as if an incredibly domineering Demon Beast had appeared before everyone.
Before long, the Magic Crystal stopped spinning, and everything returned to normal. Xiao Wenjie spoke up, "I'm sure everyone saw what just happened. Only a Magic Crystal obtained within the last three months will exhibit such a phenonon. Ye Tian must have acquired this one during the field exercise."
This result left everyone dumbfounded. That Ye Tian, a re student from the Basic Level Class, was capable of slaying a Tier Four Demon Beast—it sounded like sothing out of a fantasy. However, if anyone had known that Ye Tian was the sa student who had killed the Earth-Split Demon Turtle, they probably wouldn't have been so shocked and surprised.
Following that, Xiao Wenjie verified the other two Magic Crystals, and both yielded the sa result. This proved that Ye Tian's Magic Crystal count was authentic and valid.
"Ye Tian's Magic Crystals are real and valid. I hope there will be no further disputes. This matter is now closed. The remaining students should continue to bring up their Magic Crystals to be tallied. Afterward, we will announce the final results, including who is first in each class and who is first overall," Xiao Wenjie announced.
Ye Tian slowly walked back down, knowing that countless pairs of murderous eyes were watching him. This was especially true for the Advanced Class student who had believed first place was securely his. Right now, he looked like he wanted nothing more than to kill Ye Tian imdiately and show him who the real expert was.
"Boss, I knew you'd give us a surprise! Looks like the academy's prize is a sure thing for you now! The reward for first place! I can't wait to see it!" Zhou Xiang said excitedly.
