Chapter 687: 682, three Vortex Maps Although it’s called the preparation for the individual competition, the rules for it still haven’t been released.
Currently, the only known fact is that the competition will be held again in a secret realm.
Named the Demon Realm!
After preparing for half a day, in the evening, H Lan finally brought the rules for the individual competition to the inn.
"Sect Leader, the rules for the individual competition are out."
H Lan ran in holding the manual in his hand.
Then he excitedly announced four words, "It’s the Demon Slaying Competition!"
It was clear that H Lan was very excited after learning this news. It gave a sense of eager anticipation being fully satisfied.
"Master H Lan, let me see!" Huai Ye quickly ran over and took the manual from H Lan’s hand, reading it while heading towards Wen Ping.
Of course, Wen Ping didn’t read it.
Directing his gaze at H Lan, he said directly, "Explain in detail."
H Lan nodded and said, "The Demon Slaying Competition is set for ten days. Each person will receive a points token before entering the secret realm, crafted personally by the Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan. As long as a demon is slain in the Demon Realm, this token will convert it into corresponding points and record them. Additionally, the points token will only award points to the person who lands the final blow on the demon, and it can detect the vicinity of the user, rendering the demon slaying points invalid if multiple people assist."
Wen Ping asked, "How are the points calculated?"
H Lan answered, "Demons comparable to the Body Refining Realm are worth 10 points each. Those at the Lower Profound Realm are worth 100 points each. Middle Profound Realm are worth 1000 points each. Upper Profound Realm are worth 10000 points each. Half-step Divine Profound Realm are worth 50000 points."
Wen Ping asked, "Why is there no Divine Profound Realm?"
H Lan answered: "Currently, among the new talents, the strongest are only at the half-step Divine Profound Realm. Even groups with Innate Anomaly Veins encounter only a dead end when facing demons of the Divine Profound Realm, so it’s unnecessary to include the Divine Profound Realm."
"Unnecessary? That may not be the case."
Wen Ping instinctively glanced at Lin Kewu.
With the Fire Rod and Wind’s Shackles, Lin Kewu facing the Divine Profound Realm isn’t necessarily a lost cause.
After all, the Fire Rod is very peculiar.
As a top-tier magical treasure in the Immortal Slaying World, it offers Lin Kewu numerous uncertainties.
The current premise is that Lin Kewu uses it properly.
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s remark, H Lan’s expression tightened momentarily, but he thought the Sect Leader was possibly joking, and continued, "The Hundred Sects Alliance doesn’t want situations where teams help slay demons, so if someone works alone, realistically they can slay around seven or eight demons in ten days at most. Unless they choose to slay those weaker than themselves selectively, it usually takes a lot of time. In the end, the points gained might not be more than those earned from slaying demons of the same realm."
"So it’s better to choose those stronger than oneself," Wen Ping spoke astonishingly.
H Lan was taken aback once more.
Actually, he just wanted to remind Huai Ye and others not to think about using weak demons to farm points, because in the end, they might end up with nothing, like trying to fetch water with a bamboo basket.
As H Lan was awkwardly smiling, Wen Ping took out three Vortex Maps from his Storage Ring, glanced at Lu Jiang and Lu Xue, and said, "Lu Jiang, Lu Xue, you just joined the Immortal Sect, so this time free play is fine. It’s better if you achieve a high rank, but it’s okay if you don’t."
Lu Jiang and Lu Xue nodded.
Then Wen Ping said to Huai Ye and the other three, "You three are different. Remember, your current team ranking is over a hundred, while your actual individual ranking is beyond five hundred. But my requirement is to use magic well and make it into the top 100 on the new talents ranking. These three Vortex Maps are a boost from me as Sect Leader, and I hope your ranking will be worthy of my generosity."
Upon seeing the three Vortex Maps, Huai Ye and the others exclaimed with joy repeatedly.
The Sect Leader is so generous!
These are Three-Vortex Vortex Maps!
H Lan was not particularly startled by the Vortex Maps, but felt amazed by Wen Ping’s goal, and quickly asked, "Sect Leader, are you serious?"
Top 100 of the new talents ranking, they are mainly the elite of the Upper Profound Realm with Innate Anomaly Veins.
Some are even at the half-step Divine Profound Realm.
This goal sounds a bit too exaggerated.
Additionally, making efforts towards an unrealistic goal doesn’t necessarily mean a good thing. After all, demons are cold-blooded and merciless; they wouldn’t spare clawing you to pieces because of who the Sect Leader is.
"What do you think?"
After saying this, Wen Ping just stared at H Lan.
Just after being looked at like this, H Lan’s heart skipped a beat, immediately realizing he had said too much.
Knowing what shouldn’t be said, what shouldn’t be questioned, has a measure.
Seeing this, Zi Ran cast a cold glance at H Lan and said, "The Sect Leader never jokes about serious matters."
H Lan quickly nodded.
Apologizing earnestly, "Sect Leader, I realize my mistake."
"H Lan, you’re not wrong; you just don’t quite understand the Immortal Sect yet." Wen Ping refocused his gaze on Huai Ye and the others. H Lan is the kind of person who calms down over time, with a home and achievements, his passionate efforts naturally have dissipated substantially. Thus, even after seeing the Immortal Sect create miracles, there’s still skepticism.
In this regard, he and Zi Ran differ greatly.
Even after becoming a Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan, Zi Ran’s passion remains as strong.
Yearning to improve even in adversity.
H Lan is starkly different.
Once reaching Two Vortexes, he chose to live the most comfortable life.
