"Ha, I see he hasn't even encountered the Evil Curse Master, which is why he's so bold," Wang Lin couldn't help but sneer.
"Haha, Brother Wang, isn't this just exposing someone's shortcomings? With his Grandmaster Realm cultivation, if he were to meet the Evil Curse Master, wouldn't he be scared out of his wits?"
Laughter erupted around them. In their eyes, Su Chen was merely putting on a brave front, trying to salvage some dignity.
"I've seen it before; she summoned a black insect over ten meters long with wings. Unfortunately, I managed to kill it," Su Chen deliberately described it in great detail, eager to see their reactions.
"Over ten meters long Dark Magic Insect? That must have been a high level! You say you killed it?"
"Stop joking! Even if you say it couldn't escape and you managed to survive after being dragged out, I'd believe that. But you killing it? No way!"
"Right! It was even running away from me for half a mile!" Su Chen nodded earnestly, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in their tone.
"Don't go too far, brother."
"This is ridiculous! You probably read some report and decided to claim it for yourself. How shameless can you be? Do you think you're Shen Peng Zi?"
"No! Killing a high-level Dark Magic Insect? Even if Shen Peng Zi were a reincarnated deity, he couldn't do that! You're invincible now, Su Chen!"
At that moment, Qing Yi couldn't help but interrupt Su Chen.
She also believed that Su Chen was boasting and that the more he spoke, the more absurd his claims became. This wouldn't help him regain any face; instead, it would only make him the subject of ridicule.
Su Chen didn't seem to care; these people were truly frogs at the bottom of a well, short-sighted. There was really no point in communicating with them. He brought up the Dark Magic Insect incident just to test their reactions. They thought themselves clever but were truly foolish.
Fighting alone was ultimately too dangerous.
After pondering for a moment, Qing Yi spoke up. "How about this: Shen Hou Zi, Xiao Long Nu, and Su Chen, you three will join Ye Rou's team. Wang Hailong, you'll join Wang Lin's team."
Wang Hailong had merged with the third Star Ring after the Monthly Exam and had truly stepped into the Grandmaster Realm now, which met Wang Lin's requirements.
"Yes!" Upon hearing he would join Wang Lin's team, Wang Hailong's eyes lit up with joy. He had long known of Wang Lin's strength; being able to join such a powerful team made him ecstatic.
"Zhang Heng, your cultivation is lower right now. Your task is to level up first; you won't be joining a team for now."
"Understood!" Zhang Heng nodded in agreement.
Su Chen had no objections to this arrangement.
After all, Ye Rou had spoken up for him several times, and refusing her again would seem ungrateful. Besides her team, he had no other options.
Once everyone had been assigned to their respective teams, Qing Yi continued, "Everyone, aside from the team assignments, there is another important matter to inform you about. In ten days, the Inner Academy will commence the ranking competition. I hope everyone prepares actively. The top fifty will be promoted to Black Belt Disciples and will receive contribution points as rewards, which can be exchanged for necessary resources in the Contribution Hall of the sect!"
After finishing his announcement, the two elders departed.
Su Chen's gaze flickered. In the Inner Academy, disciples were classified by levels: White Belt, Purple Belt, Black Belt, and Top Ten Chief Disciples. The contribution points distributed each month varied according to these levels. Higher-level disciples enjoyed special privileges as well.
For instance, a Purple Belt Disciple could challenge another Purple Belt Disciple to take over their Purple Belt status. Additionally, they could enter the library for free each quarter to learn one level of Star Technique.
As for Black Belt Disciples, those who ranked in the top fifty of the competition could choose one Super Star Technique! The privileges of the Top Ten Chiefs were even more enviable; each of them received an opportunity to enter the Academy Ancestral Grounds for training.
Having ranked first in the Monthly Exam, Su Chen entered the Inner Academy and directly obtained a Purple Belt, temporarily on par with Wang Lin.
