There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 40: (Experience Points Tycoon)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Thinking that Lu Xun had yet to even touch a sword since joining the sect, the smiles on Shen Yan and the others’ faces blew up.

If he hadn’t learned swordsmanship and hadn’t honored a longsword, and yet understood the Sword Heart, what else could he be if not a Natural Sword Embryo spoken of in the legends?

Lu Xun, the teacher, certainly had a knack for picking disciples!

If the Demon Sect can score this Natural Sword Embryo, we’ll definitely slap the faces of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain again!

Looking at Shen Ludan and the beaming Peak Masters growing increasingly wild, Lu Xun was kind of bewildered.

But since everyone was laughing, he could only laugh along to make himself blend in.

As he was too good-looking, his smile was very charming. Through the eyes of others, it looked like a confident, carefree, and truthful smile that seemed to make everything real.

Of course, he was always looking at the Reputation Value, watching it skyrocket past the mark of 2,000 to over 2,300, and was still rapidly rising! “[Dinq! Reputation Value Task complete. Would you like to claim the reward?]” Lu Xun selected to claim, and 10,000 Experience Points immediately rolled in, with extra Special Attribute Points that could be allocated freely!

In his panel information, the Experience column read “[10150/1000]” , a windfall from the sky!

It takes 1,000 experience points to level up from level 2 to 3, 2,000 for level 3 to 4, and 4,000 for level 4 to 5. By this count, his current Experience Points were enough to reach the fifth level of the Qi Consumption Technique!

And there’s 1 free Special Attribute Point that can be distributed, this was a great boon!

“Feeling good,” Lu Xun murmured in his heart.

Shen Yan suppressed the joy in his heart and said to Lu Xun, “Do you want to go back to the rear mountain to cultivate in peace? How about this trip to the Outer Sect Trial…”

“No problem, Sect Master, I still want to give it a try.” Lu Xun cut him off right away.

No way, no one can stop me from completing tasks!

When he played Heavenly Dust before, he was a mission fanatic. He felt uncomfortable without doing tasks.

If completed perfectly, that would be 5,000 Experience Points, no small amount!

Shen Yan and the Peak Masters exchanged a look and then nodded.

You’re the young Elder, you have the final say.

With that, he personally sent Lu Xun to the outer mountain where the Outer Sect Disciples were located.

Normally, Shen Yan, and the Peak Masters should return to their own peaks, but they showed no signs of dispersing.

“Oh? Do you all want to see how the young Elder’s trial goes?” Shen Yan asked with his chicken-squeal-like voice.

“Why not go to my Evergreen Peak for tea? It’s been a long time since we elders sat down and had tea and a chat together, when was the last time?” Sima Chuan, the Peak Master of Evergreen Peak, said.

“Yesterday.” Gongshu Pan, the Peak Master of Thunder Peak, who also served as the Law-Enforcement Elder, answered brutally.

“Gongshu Elder, you’re such a party pooper!” The plump beauty, Luo Wanqiu, Peak Master of Water Cloud Peak, looked at him with disgust.

Actually, everyone just wanted to use this as an excuse to gather and enjoy the show. Only you like to brutally expose the truth!

But they had all been friends for many years, and they understood each other.

Yue Heshan, the most flamboyant and unrestrained Peak Master of Leaping

Peak, teased Gongshu Pan, “So, you don’t want to come, Elder Gongshu?” “Cough cough, let’s go together, let’s go together.” Gongshu Pan said with a stern face.

Given their cultivation base, they could see every detail of the trials in the outer mountain without having to be on site.

Moreover, given their status, if they all showed up, many Outer Sect Disciples might be nervous, affecting their performance.

However, this group of “old-coot” gathered, and under the Charitable

Gambling King Yue Heshan’s instigation, a trend of placing bets was emerging.

“Who do you think will stand out among those newcomers in this entrance ceremony?” Yue Heshan started setting the stage.

He was referring to the new disciples among the Outer Sect Disciples. Lu Xun was not included.

Although they stood high in the Demon Sect, they occasionally paid attention to the newly entered disciples because they were the future of the Demon Sect.

“That kid named Xu Zhongcheng is not bad, I have high hopes for him.” said Sima Chuan.

Xu Zhongcheng, with eight Ripples, was considered a rare cultivation talent. “I favor Ji Li even more.” Shen Yan, who had already invested a small piece of Flame Essence in Ji Li, said.

Actually, Lu Xun didn’t know about this because he had been staying in the rear mountain. Both Ji Li and this Xu Zhongcheng were rare talents with eight

Ripples in cultivation and thus, had been in the spotlight in the Outer Sect. Many people compared them to each other.

This was inevitable. There was competition among disciples, and this was not a bad thing as long as it was fair and honest.

Don’t be arrogant if you win and keep working hard. Don’t hold grudges if you lose, just try to turn the tables. This would create an excellent cultivation environment.

Sometimes, even Lu Xun thought that the Demon Sect felt more like a large school than many martial arts novels depicted. In the novels, everybody only had the first place in mind, as if once they reached the top, the number one could bully anyone, even going so far as to kill the former number one without any elders stepping in to stop them…

It was as if the sect leaders could only hold one person in their eyes.

Actually, this was ridiculous. In a school, although the top student naturally receives the most attention, the other top students wouldn’t be reduced to mere background props.

If this was the case, even if everyone practiced demonic arts, the sect couldn’t grow and strengthen.

Just like in high school, they want top scholars and also want a high rate of admission to first-tier and second-tier colleges. They have to aim for both!

We are all adults now! Why make choices when we can have it all?

At this moment, there were not many disciples who could catch the eyes of these big shots, but it was definitely not just one. Therefore, Yue Heshan got what he wanted and opened another round of betting!

The Charitable Gambling King, Yue Heshan, placed his bet on Xu Zhongcheng, believing that this time he was bound to win.

This Outer Sect trial suddenly became interesting.

On the other hand, Lu Xun was walking on the road to the outer mountain, with the Outer Sect Disciples he encountered along the way bowing and congratulating him on his progress in his cultivation.

Lu Xun responded with a smile, acting cordial and approachable, striving to leave a good impression in every younger disciple’s heart, in order to continue earning Reputation Value in the future.

The Reputation Value Task was a chain task. The second loop had automatically started, the task requirement was to reach 5,000 Reputation Value, and the reward was 50,000 Experience Points along with randomly assigned Special Attribute Points.

Yes, there was no longer any freely assignable Special Attribute Points, but a lottery-like random assignment. The game was stingy and not so generous.

After a while, he arrived at the gathering point of the Outer Sect Disciples taking part in this trial.

There were not a few participants, it looked like more than a hundred. The one leading the group was an Outer Sect Elder named Qiu Shui, whom Lu Xun had met before.

After receiving a round of bows, Lu Xun nodded politely with a smile, then looked for Ji Li in the crowd.

It took him a good while to finally spot her.

She wasn’t very tall to begin with, and she couldn’t wave at Lu Xun in such an occasion, so she was standing on her tiptoes in the crowd.
