Chapter 142: Chapter 143: Mission Hall (3rd Update) (Please Favorite, Tip, and Recommend)

"Are all of you buried in your cultivation? You don’t even know who he is?"

Some outer disciples who recognized Chu Fengmian spoke irritably to the other outer disciples beside them.

Now in the Wusheng Academy, not knowing about Chu Fengmian was truly a sign of ignorance.

"He is the King of the Newcomers of this session, and you all don’t even recognize him?"

"The King of the Newcomers of this session? Could it really be Chu Fengmian?"

Upon hearing the words of that outer disciple, numerous people finally realized who the Chu Fengmian in front of them was.

The King of the Newcomers of Wusheng Academy over the years actually didn’t have much fame; a newcomer, no matter how strong, could only start from the bottom once they entered the inner door.

But the King of the Newcomers of this session was entirely different, breaking three records set by Zhi Lingtian, reaching the seventieth floor of the Tongtian Path, and being taken as a disciple by Sage Xuanbei.

Any one of these three points was enough to make Chu Fengmian stand proudly amongst the academy.

"The Task Hall, Chu Fengmian actually came to the Task Hall."

"What task did he take? It seems like he hasn’t been seen in the Task Hall before."

Watching Chu Fengmian, countless martial artists wondered curiously, as every move of the most eye-catching newcomer in Wusheng Academy was watched by numerous disciples.

Chu Fengmian walked into the Task Hall and immediately saw on the wall on one side, there were several Jade Talismans, each representing a task, with different stars carved on them which represented the strength required for the task.

Below the Jade Talismans, there were numerous jade slips; the academy’s tasks did not restrict the number of people who could take them, but only one person could complete them.

As for the others, they were likely to return empty-handed, but that was the rule of Wusheng Academy.

Survival of the fittest, only the strong could stand in Wusheng Academy.

"Three-star intermediate task."

"Chu Fengmian actually completed a three-star intermediate task?"

As Chu Fengmian took down one of the Jade Talismans, many around expressed their amazement.

This three-star intermediate represented a task that only a martial artist above the fourth level of the Divine Sea Realm could complete.

With Chu Fengmian’s current realm at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, he was still able to complete a three-star intermediate task.

"It’s the task of the desert bandits in the Northwest Desert!"

"What? It’s that traitor from the Candleflame Sect!"

Some disciples moved closer out of curiosity and saw the jade slip below, exclaiming aloud.

"They say that even Brother Feng from the top ten inner disciples went, but didn’t complete it."

"This task was actually completed by Chu Fengmian?"

The issue with Mu Yuanhuo had been widely discussed in Wusheng Academy, and this task was something everyone was loath to touch.

Mu Yuanhuo’s strength was already incredibly formidable, coupled with his demonic cultivation and cautious nature.

Once, disciples from the top ten of the inner door went after him but all returned without success.

Hence, even though this task offered quite a few Contribution Points as a reward, for most, it was still an unthinkable task.

Unexpectedly, it was completed today.

"I’m here to submit this task."

Chu Fengmian approached a counter and spoke to one of the elders of the Task Hall.

The Task Hall was managed by outer sect elders, not disciples, to ensure fairness.

"Oh? What task is it?"

The elder of the Task Hall, white-haired and looking quite aged, had a strength around the second level of the Divine Sea Realm, not very talented, thus he could only secure a position as an outer sect elder.

However, being an elder, he generally looked down on the disciples, and upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, he simply muttered softly.

"Bring the Jade Talisman here."

Chu Fengmian moved his hand and tossed the Jade Talisman over, the elder caught it, and a surge of Spiritual Power flowed into it, his expression suddenly changing drastically.

"You completed this task?"

The voice of the Task Hall elder almost shouted, attracting many disciples within the hall.

"What task is it that even the elder is so shocked?"

Some martial artists gathered around and when they saw the Jade Talisman Chu Fengmian handed over, their expressions were as surprised as the elder’s.

"Of course."

Chu Fengmian nodded slightly and took out a storage bag and placed it out.

The corpse of Mu Yuanhuo suddenly appeared in the Task Hall.

"It really is that traitor!"

"This guy, his body is covered with scales, he really turned demonic, and he was slain by him today?"

The crowd looked towards Chu Fengmian, and most of them expressed disbelief.

When Mu Yuanhuo had defected from the Candleflame Sect, his power had reached the third level of the Divine Sea Realm, and now with his demonic powers, he was even stronger than before.

Chu Fengmian, only at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, how could he possibly defeat Mu Yuanhuo.

"Could it be that this kid got lucky, happened to encounter the traitor severely wounded, and so killed him?"

"How could that be possible, that traitor was extremely cunning, even Brother Feng went after him for a month and got nothing, how could he be severely injured?"

"Could it be that someone helped this kid to complete this task?"

"Possibly, you should think about this kid’s master..."

"Are you suggesting? Sage Xuanbei? Would Sage Xuanbei really help this kid complete the task?"

"It’s unlikely, but it could be that Sage Xuanbei, seeing the evildoing of the demon, took action to slay the demon, and the kid got the corpse in exchange for Contribution Points."

People discussed among themselves, but not one believed that Mu Yuanhuo was truly slain by Chu Fengmian.

A Mu Yuanhuo that even the top ten inner disciples of the Wusheng Academy couldn’t kill was hard for them to believe would fall by Chu Fengmian’s hand, so they wildly speculated about the reasons.

Hearing these discussions, Chu Fengmian’s face only showed a cold smile.

Such rumors and slanders, Chu Fengmian naturally never cared about; he only needed to complete this task.

"It is indeed the body of Mu Yuanhuo."

The elder of the Task Hall, after a glance at Mu Yuanhuo’s corpse, spoke softly.

This statement alone proved one point— that Mu Yuanhuo was indeed dead, and the task was indeed completed.

"Since the elder confirmed, then please give the rewards for this task to Chu."

Chu Fengmian didn’t waste words and took out his identity token, handing it over to the Task Hall elder.

"Wait."

The Task Hall elder suddenly looked up, his gaze flickering, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

"Where are the Spiritual Artifacts from the body of the demon?"
