Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 513 - 509: He Ranked So High You All Missed Him
At night, Shen Han didn’t go to reset the mechanisms.
The fierce beasts that appear at night are mostly small ones.
These beasts are of low value, and every time a mechanism is wasted, it becomes immensely troublesome.
After thinking this through, as night fell, Shen Han simply chose to rest.
According to the sect culture of the Star Tower, resting well at night allows one to better face crises during the day.
A night passed, and it was 7:00 AM in the morning.
After sorting things out, those responsible for the mountain exploration logistics had already compiled everyone’s achievements.
Based on the quantity and quality of items stored in each person’s Storage Ring, they assessed and ranked them.
Following these rankings, a scroll of records was written.
The scroll of records was copied over eighty times.
Sect disciples from the Inner Domain each had a copy.
As for the Outer Domain, just like qualifying together, there was only one scroll available for viewing.
At this moment, Yue Bugong, as the leader of the Northern Three Domains, had already retrieved the scroll.
As he walked, he began to search for the names of disciples from the Northern Three Domains.
There were only twenty-five slots in total, and Yue Bugong remembered them all.
First-day results are extremely important.
On the first day, the fierce beasts haven’t reacted yet and haven’t realized the crisis.
In the following days, hunting fierce beasts will only get harder.
About six hundred people participated in the test.
However, on the scroll, there were only just over three hundred names.
It’s not a matter of discrimination, but many people didn’t manage to hunt even a single fierce beast that day.
Zero gain means no record.
So, making it onto the records is already quite good.
Though the scroll only lists a little over three hundred names, it’s still lengthy.
It’s not the first time Yue Bugong has checked this scroll; as someone from the Northern Three Domains, he has a good technique.
He checks from the back to the front.
Walking along, flipping through.
Going through over a hundred names from the back, he found four disciples from the Northern Three Domains.
These results are actually really good.
The Northern Three Domains are an Outer Domain, inherently less powerful than Inner Domain sects.
Having four names appear in the scroll is already excellent.
It’s much better compared to previous mountain explorations.
In past mountain explorations, having even one person from the Northern Three Domains appear in the scroll on the first day was considered good.
Returning with the scroll to the resting area of the Northern Three Domains, sect leaders from various sects gathered around.
With so many people, each person’s viewing time was short.
Others, like Yue Bugong, began searching for their disciples’ names, starting from the back.
Soon, a sect leader found their disciple’s name.
“Three hundred and eleventh, that brat did quite well this time.”
“A brat from my sect also did well, even hunting a large Wild Beast.
Two hundred and eighty-third place, much better than in the sect~”
Several sect leaders finding their disciples’ names were smiling, visibly pleased.
Those who didn’t find their disciples’ names were actually not too anxious.
How many Outer Domain disciples can appear in the scroll on the first day?
This time, having four people from the Northern Three Domains on the scroll is already an extremely good result.
For Cangxuan Valley, it’s rather embarrassing.
In the past, they had several disciples participate, typically with only one or two making the scroll on the first day.
This year, Cangxuan Valley didn’t place any, yet the results were much better.
Several sect leaders teased in front of Yue Bugong, saying.
“Without Cangxuan Valley, the Northern Three Domains’ results this time are leaps better than before.”
Returning to the Cangxuan Valley resting tent, Yue Bugong scolded his subordinates again.
The scolded Mansion Masters seemed already used to it.
After he had his fill of scolding, they asked, “Valley Master, did that brat Shen Han make it onto the scroll?”
“He did not.”
After saying that, Yue Bugong felt somewhat relieved.
At least Shen Han didn’t make it onto the scroll, the only solace.
No one knows when it started, but core members of Cangxuan Valley’s sects have been hoping for Shen Han’s downfall.
Yu Chou also flipped through the scroll from the back, looking toward the front.
Nearing the top hundred, still no sign of a Star Tower disciple.
There are many others waiting to view the scroll.
Yu Chou stopped insisting and passed the scroll to the next people in line.
Breaking into the top hundred on the first day…
Outer Domain sect disciples haven’t achieved such a feat.
Continuing to search through the scroll might invite criticism.
After the sect leaders finished viewing, the scroll was passed to the Elders.
After the Elders viewed it, the disciples finally had a chance to see the scroll.
Disciples from each sect came to witness this mountain treasure hunt. Though they might not see much, at least they could experience the atmosphere.
When disciples watched the scroll, there weren’t as many formalities as with the sect leaders or elders.
The disciples gathered around, spreading the scroll open, looking at the names together.
Unlike the sect leadership, disciples aren’t bound by so many formalities.
It was precisely because several people were looking together, someone noticed something unusual.
It was said that this time, four people from the Northern Three Domains made it onto the record scrolls.
But suddenly, a disciple discovered there was one more person.
The eleventh place, Star Tower, Shen Han.
“Hey, hey, come look… I’m not seeing things, right…”
A disciple timidly patted the shoulder of the person beside him.
The person who got patted was initially a bit impatient.
However, following the direction of his finger, the name up there was exceptionally dazzling.
The original impatience instantly turned into extreme seriousness.
One must know, all these years, not a single person from the Northern Three Domains has been able to break into the top hundred.
With luck, one might manage to get one or two fierce beasts.
But to make it into the top hundred, a disciple would need at least three fierce beasts.
And among these three fierce beasts, at least one must be of the spirit beast level.
This isn’t something luck can get you.
Even if one encounters it by luck, there’s no luck to kill it.
“Star Tower… Shen Han…
The sect and name correspond one by one; it can’t be a mistake, right…”
This ranking was truly shocking; amidst their thoughts, the two disciples pulled over a Star Tower disciple.
When this Star Tower disciple saw it, he was also momentarily stunned.
The Sect Leader had clearly said that on the first day of the Star Tower, no one made it on the record list.
There’s still time; they can catch up later.
But clearly on the record, Shen Han’s name was there, and ranked very high.
Thinking of this, after a moment of shock, the Star Tower disciple snatched the scroll and ran towards his Sect Leader.
“Sect Leader, Sect Leader, Shen Han he…”
Before the disciple could finish speaking, the other Sect Leaders standing beside Yu Chou already had smiles on their faces.
“Shen Han?
Just as well, I was about to ask, why your Star Tower’s Shen Han didn’t make it on the list?
His abilities should be quite exceptional.
Is it possible that he was simply unaccustomed on the first day?”
The one speaking was the old Manor Master of Snow Manor.
His tone carried a hint of concern, but the words he spoke were clearly teasing and mocking.
That disciple from Snow Manor, Qin Tianlang, had previously lost to Shen Han in a competition.
But on the first day of this mountain treasure hunt, he directly made it onto the record list.
Such achievements, how many geniuses from the Northern Three Domains could compare?
Hearing this, Yu Chou’s expression remained unchanged.
He knew the more displeased he appeared, the happier these old fellows would feel.
“Manor Master of Snow Manor need not worry; Shen Han has depth and potential.
This is only the first day; what can such a result say?”
Yu Chou responded softly, seemingly not caring at all.
The other Sect Leaders, hearing this, only chuckled.
Even Yue Bugong, who was standing a bit further, had a relaxed smile on his face.
At this moment, the disciple who had been interrupted before stepped forward again.
“Sect Leader, Shen Han wasn’t absent from the list, but rather he was ranked so high that you all missed it.
He’s in eleventh place…”
As soon as he spoke, the surrounding Sect Leaders were slightly taken aback.
If it were before, they would have laughed it off, thinking the disciple was talking nonsense.
But now it’s different; Shen Han’s performances these few times have all been astonishing.
And even the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader, Yu You, holds Shen Han in high regard.
Under such circumstances, the Sect Leaders no longer dared to underestimate Shen Han.
Thinking of this, several Sect Leaders, even more anxious than Yu Chou, rushed over to grab the scroll.
With eager eyes, they looked at the record scroll.
Eleventh place, eleventh place…
Even Yue Bugong hurried over with great urgency.
This time, they didn’t look from back to front but directly looked at the eleventh place.
The bright and clear handwriting on the record left them a bit dazed.
Eleventh place, Star Tower, Shen Han.
Sect, name, correspond one by one; how could there be a mistake?
Shen Han, in just one day of entering the mountain range, hunted a total of four fierce beasts.
Three spirit beasts, one wild beast…
Seeing such achievements, other Sect Leaders from the Northern Three Domains were dumbfounded.
On the first day alone, he hunted four fierce beasts.
Basically, only the top, top Inner Domain disciples can achieve this.
For ordinary disciples, two fierce beasts would deplete all their energy.
To hunt four fierce beasts in one day, this could no longer be explained by luck.
There can only be one possibility: Shen Han’s strength is much greater than these Sect Leaders assumed.
Seeing Shen Han’s name, Yue Bugong felt as if those two characters were like a sharp sword piercing straight into his crown.
It was as if his sight suddenly faded to white, as if he had entered into an illusion realm.
The regret of driving Shen Han away continued to spread, no matter how much he tried to console himself.
The blockage in Yue Bugong’s heart remained difficult to clear.
