Eternal Heart
Chapter 669: Everyone’s Shock

"Take out all the stone crystal hearts you’ve obtained.”

Deacon Liu glanced at Chen Yu, then lowered his head to organize the data, speaking in a very indifferent tone.

This task of tallying slaughter points was quite tedious and boring, and with the total number of people who had passed the second assessment reaching two thousand, the work was going to take a long time, making the several deacons present somewhat irritable.

But this was a command issued by the Sect Elders, which they could not defy.

If they encountered talents from major families, they might be a bit more polite and exchange a few courtesies.

For someone without fame or family background, an ordinary person, they couldn’t be bothered.

"Why haven’t you taken them out yet?”

Deacon Liu frowned slightly, looked up at Chen Yu, and felt that the person in front of him seemed quite clever, so why was he so slow in his actions?

"Just a moment

He had accumulated quite a lot of stone crystal hearts, far exceeding the geniuses on the “Slaughter Rankings.”

Chen Yu wondered whether he should take them all out or not; among them were hearts from a Sky Sea Realm Venerable, others might not believe it.

But after thinking it over, he remembered that an elder from Black Demon Valley had witnessed him slay a Stone Clan Venerable, so there should be no problem.

So Chen Yu took out all the stone crystal hearts in one go.

Whoosh!

Immediately, a vast number of stone crystal hearts of various sizes piled up on the entire table.

The hearts completely blocked Deacon Liu’s face, so Chen Yu didn’t see his counterpart’s stunned expression.

A burly man in line behind Chen Yu was startled by this scene and blurted out in alarm, “Damn!”

Then, realizing he had reacted somewhat improperly, the burly man’s voice trembled with excitement, “Buddy, all of these… so many stone crystal hearts, did you hunt them all?”

"My god, who is this person? To take out so many stone crystal hearts!”

"Damn it, so many stone crystal hearts!”

"Holy smokes, how can there be so many stone crystal hearts, am I seeing things?”

Behind Chen Yu, exclamations of astonishment kept rising.

In front of the table, Deacon Liu parted the stone crystal hearts and stared at Chen Yu with a surprised gaze.

"Did Your Excellency personally hunt all these stone crystal hearts?”

Deacon Liu asked in a hushed tone.

But after speaking, he realized he was stating the obvious.

"Your Excellency, please wait. I will tally your slaughter points immediately.”

Deacon Liu got busy, and without even realizing it, his reference to Chen Yu had changed from “you” to “Your Excellency.”

Soon, Deacon Liu finished tallying the stone crystal hearts.

“1962 slaughter points!”

Deacon Liu inhaled deeply, expressing his disbelief with astonishment.

Up until now, Xu Nanyun, the prodigy of the three-star Xu Family, had 1258 slaughter points and was ranked first.

Yet now, he was presented with a more astonishing and frightening number—1962!

That was a full 710 points more than Xu Nanyun.

What Deacon Liu found unimaginable was that among these, there was a massive stone crystal heart, emanating the aura of the Sky Sea Realm!

…

Below the Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

"What’s going on? It suddenly became noisy up there.”

"Perhaps the slaughter points of a certain genius are quite astonishing, drawing exclamations from others.”

Some people speculated for a while.

In the rear, You Lie, among the talented of the You Clan, wore a cold and gloomy expression.

"Chen Yu, even if you enter the Inner Valley, so what? Once you become a disciple of my third uncle, you will be a plaything in my hands!”

You Lie fantasized about tormenting Chen Yu in the future.

Chen Yu had robbed them of their stone crystal hearts, and his slaughter points would definitely exceed five hundred, enough to enter the Inner Valley.

But even as an Inner Valley Disciple, offending You Lie would still lead to a miserable end.

"That kid’s slaughter points must be quite a lot.”

The man with greenish hair watched the top of the Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

He had witnessed Chen Yu slay a Sky Sea Realm Venerable; just one Sky Sea Realm crystal heart was worth two hundred slaughter points.

Moreover, Chen Yu had also robbed people like You Lie of their stone crystal hearts.

Suddenly.

The man with greenish hair’s expression changed subtly; he saw the stone crystal hearts Chen Yu had taken out, which seemed… a bit too many.

Following that, the name “Hua Dufeng” at the top of the Black Demon Valley’s assessment stele suddenly moved down one spot.

Another name appeared, startlingly “Chen Yu.”

The slaughter points were… 1962!

In the moment the man with greenish hair saw this, he blinked, even thinking he had misread.

But no matter how much he blinked, the number did not change.

Meanwhile, the long queue on the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, those waiting below, and the onlookers around the periphery of the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, all boiled over.

“1962 slaughter points, how is this possible?”

"This must be a registration error; it will probably be corrected soon.”

"Oh my god, this number… how is this possible?”

The rumbling sound echoed around the Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

Sitting inside a palanquin and enjoying tea, “Hua Dufeng” frowned and complained, “Why is it so noisy outside?”

"Young Master, someone in Black Demon Valley has exceeded your slaughter points!”

Someone outside responded to Hua Dufeng.

"Exceeded me? Impossible!” nσvel.cøm

Hua Dufeng immediately shouted and then abruptly flung open the curtain, walking out.

When he saw his name still atop the stele along with the Slaughter Points, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning; the teacup in his hand slipped and shattered to pieces.

Not only that, the appearance of 1,962 Slaughter Points also alarmed two Sect Elders from the with Black and White Palaces atop the Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

Several elders from Black Demon Valley couldn’t help but lose some color.

"Not bad, not bad indeed!” Elder Wei praised Chen Yu twice.

You should know that among the elders of Black Demon Valley, Elder Wei was highly influential. Being praised by him was a great honor indeed.

"Who is Chen Yu? Around here, I only remember a two-and-a-half-star power, the Chen Family!”

An elder who hadn’t attended the first test expressed his surprise and confusion.

"Hahaha, 1,962 Slaughter Points, that’s even over seven hundred more than Xu Nanyun of Heavenly Jade Sect.”

An elder with a cheerful personality burst out laughing.

From Heavenly Jade Sect, however, came waves of retorting and rebuking voices.

"Hmph, Black Demon Valley is too shameless to cheat during the assessment!”

The elder with the long beard snorted coldly.

"According to the agreement, cheating during the assessment leads to direct failure in the gambling match.”

"This individual must also be severely punished; to cheat during such an important assessment shows complete disregard for me!”

The elders from Heavenly Jade Sect voiced their opinions one after another.

"Hmph, don’t you think people of Heavenly Jade Sect are jumping to conclusions too hastily? You haven’t presented any evidence, yet you accuse our Black Demon Valley geniuses of cheating?”

Elder Wei was the first to show dissatisfaction, standing up to rebuke Heavenly Jade Sect.

"If you accuse our Black Demon Valley genius without any evidence, then this old man says that everyone in Heavenly Jade Sect cheated.”

Another hot-tempered elder cursed.

Black Demon Valley had never gotten along with Heavenly Jade Sect; they would never miss any chance to strike at the other.

Moreover, Chen Yu’s result was certainly astonishing; it completely suppressed Heavenly Jade Sect from raising their heads.

This time, it was again a gambling battle between the two sects, with an unpredictable outcome. Maybe Chen Yu’s 1,962 Slaughter Points could influence the victory or defeat.

"A Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak accumulating 1,962 Slaughter Points itself is evidence!”

"Do you think that because you don’t resemble your father, it proves you’re not his biological child?”

The hotheaded elder spoke shockingly, provoking rage from Heavenly Jade Sect.

The high-level members of both sects argued fiercely, and at the summit of the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, the sky churned with clouds, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi violently stirring.

The people queuing for the assessment below were oppressed by the tumultuous might, gasping for breath.

"It seems things have blown up!”

Chen Yu looked around and finally sighed.

"Sir, your Slaughter Points have been completely tallied.”

Deacon Liu said very politely.

As for how to judge Chen Yu’s results exactly, that was out of his control; weren’t the Sect Elders on the peak of Heavenly Ascension Ladder arguing intensely right now?

Chen Yu nodded and left the place.

As he descended, everyone in the long queue stared at Chen Yu, expressions varied.

"Brother Chen, you’ve really made a name for yourself this time!”

Shi Wwei ran over and stared at Chen Yu for a while before bursting into laughter.

You should know, the total number of people participating in the assessment of the two three-and-a-half-star forces was more than ten thousand!

In the first test, Chen Yu had made a stunning debut.

As for this second test, Chen Yu had shocked everyone.

1,962 Slaughter Points, thoroughly dominating the competitors. The second place was far behind Chen Yu, with an insurmountable distance.

"Hehe, just luck.”

Chen Yu smiled.

But that was the truth; in Stone Cloud Realm, clan forces continuously troubled Chen Yu, who had no choice but to hand over their stone crystal hearts, leading to this terrifying amount.

You should know, in the Stone Cloud Realm, stone clan beings were limited; it was not like Guiyuan Realm late-stage creatures could be found everywhere.

And to rob an entire clan’s force was also quite difficult and time-consuming.

Chen Yu’s situation was different, those clan forces had delivered themselves to his doorstep.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Around Heavenly Ascension Ladder, numerous shadows seemed to receive some command, all flying up to the summit.

Among them was the green-haired elder who once had an encounter with Chen Yu in the Stone Cloud Realm.

"Hahaha

Shi Wwei laughed loudly, seemingly speechless.

Even he somewhat couldn’t believe that Chen Yu was just lucky.

At that moment, a group of talents from Cui Clan approached.

"Hehe, Chen Yu, you really don’t know what’s good for you; daring to cheat in such a situation, and so cluelessly announcing to everyone that you cheated.”

Cui Yan’er sneered repeatedly, “The Sect Elders will surely investigate this, and soon not only will your result be canceled, but you will also receive the most severe punishment.”

She utterly disbelieved Chen Yu could accumulate so many Slaughter Points; therefore, she was convinced Chen Yu cheated.

"That’s none of your concern.”

Chen Yu said indifferently.

He felt that since he hadn’t cheated, Black Demon Valley would certainly defend him vigorously, so there would be no issues.

"You… concerned about you? Truly shameless.”

Cui Yan’er’s almond-shaped eyes widened in anger, but she soon calmed down.

She didn’t think she needed to argue with Chen Yu; in no time, Chen Yu would definitely be severely punished for cheating.

Suddenly.

A commanding and loud voice came from atop Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

"After verification, Chen Yu’s result is authentic; no cheating has been found, and therefore, the result stands valid!”
