Lu Ming had killed at least ten Sixth Grade First Level demonic beasts before this and there were point-worthy metal pieces on some of them.

He had five two-point metal pieces and three one-point metal pieces, totaling up to 13 points.

He has also gotten a total of 12 points from Wei Ziyou and the rest.

Lu Ming now had 25 points which were enough for him to be upgraded to be a Bronze apprentice.

With a hundred-to-one shot of getting first place, merely being upgraded was not enough for him. The first-place winner would be rewarded with a Spirit Condensing Fruit.

He would fight for it with all his might even if he was currently far behind in terms of points.

Lu Ming put his Dragon Serpent Steps to full use and zipped through the woods. He went straight for demonic beasts with point-worthy metal pieces on them, skipping all the ordinary demonic beasts.

By nightfall, he had gotten another one-point metal piece and a two-point metal piece which brought him to a total of 28 points.

Clang!

Suddenly, Lu Ming heard fighting sounds near where he was.

‘Someone’s there.’

Lu Ming could vaguely see firelight flickering up ahead through the canopy of trees from where the sound came from.

‘Let’s take a look!’ He moved towards the bonfire up ahead and saw four people by the bonfire: Feng Wu, Yuan Chong, Zhou Hao, and Zhou Xu.

However, things were not as he would have expected.

Zhou Hao and Zhou Xu lay limply on the ground, their faces a sickly pale color.

Feng Wu had her sword drawn, but her body was shaking. Her face held the same shade of white while her eyes filled with rage as she glowered at Yuan Chong. “Yuan Chong, why did you poison the meat?” she snarled.

Just then, a voice rang out, “Excuse me, my apologies.”

Alarmed, Yuan Chong turned upon hearing that voice. Feng Wu was ecstatic as hope glimmered in her eyes. Both looked pointedly to where the voice came from.

“Lu Ming!”

“It’s you!”

Yuan Chong and Feng Wu exclaimed at the same time.

With his arms folded, Lu Ming strode towards them with a faint smile on his face and said to Yuan Chong, “What? Disappointed to see me alive?”

“I’m a little disappointed indeed. You survived the Duanmu Family and Wei Ziyou. Too bad you’re a foolish one.”

“Since you ran away, you should’ve found yourself a corner and hid like a dog till the test is over. Instead, you’re right here. Why? Are you gonna play hero and save the damsel in distress, you piece of trash? Hahaha!” Yuan Chong chuckled scornfully as killing intent flashed through his eyes.

“Lu Ming, why are you here? Hurry, go now. You’re no match for Yuan Chong.” Feng Wu had hope when she saw that someone found them, but that hope turned to despair when she realized that it was Lu Ming.

“Senior Sister Feng Wu, I’m distinctly firm with my gratitude and grudges. I’ll repay them accordingly. You’ve helped me with Wei Ziyou once, so I’ll repay the kindness now by saving your life.” Lu Ming smiled.

“Save her? Lu Ming, you piece of trash, how’re you gonna save her?” Yuan Chong laughed.

“With my fist, of course!” Lu Ming’s face hardened as he swung his fist towards Yuan Chong.

“Do you wanna die?” Yuan Chong thrust his palm and attacked Lu Ming. He was going to increase Feng Wu’s despair by destroying Lu Ming’s cultivation. Only that would elevate his joy.

Unfortunately, ideals were not reality. When his palm collided with Lu Ming’s fist, he felt a gush of immense Essential Qi from the latter that dissolved his Essential Qi immediately.

A bone-breaking pain erupted in his arm. Yuan Chong yelped as he was forced backward. “Master Realm?! Impossible! How are you already in Master Realm, Lu Ming?” he cried out in disbelief.

“Master Realm?” Feng Wu’s eyes shone with hope upon witnessing what had happened.

“Yuan Chong, I told you I’d defeat you in two months. Well, it looks like I only needed half a month.” Lu Ming smirked coldly.

“Want to defeat me? Don’t even think about it! Go to hell!” Yuan Chong bellowed furiously as immense intent to kill gleamed in his eyes. He took his sword up and attacked Lu Ming.

Lu Ming and Feng Wu had to die. If not, when the test was over, his journey in the Mystical Sword Sect would end too.
