Chapter 1009

Returning to their residence

"Brother Mo!

Take these ten thousand Contribution Points. These things will definitely be of great use in the Cultivation Tower. "

After collecting the Contribution Points from Du Tao and the rest, Zhuowen took out ten thousand of his own Contribution Points and gave them to Mo Lingtian, causing the latter to feel overwhelmed by the favor.

"Brother Zhuo!

Isn't ten thousand Contribution Points too much? "Mo Lingtian asked in a somewhat flustered manner.

Zhuowen shook his head and said resolutely, "If you treat me as a friend, then take these Contribution Points!"

Seeing the resolute expression on Zhuowen's face, Mo Lingtian also calmed down. He nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Zhuo!

I won't say any more pretentious words. I, Mo Lingtian, will engrave this favor in my heart. "

Zhuowen nodded and continued, "Let's return to our residence first. I believe that Jia Nan, Gatha and Xuan Xing should have been arranged to stay in their residence. Let's go find them while we're at it."

Hearing this, Mo Lingtian naturally did not have any objections. Soon after, the two of them left the plaza under the respectful gazes of the many older students in the plaza.

Du Tao and his seven subordinates stood up one after another. Their gazes were filled with hatred as they stared at Zhuowen's departing figure. They said in a low voice, "Bastard!

Don't let me find you. Once I find you, my Emperor Pavilion will definitely not let you off. "

After speaking, Du Tao and his group left the plaza with their tails between their legs. Speaking of which, Du Tao and his group were really unlucky. They had clearly come here to earn some extra money. However, they did not expect to encounter a monster like Zhuowen. Not only did they lose the Contribution Points that they had obtained, even the Contribution Points that they originally had were taken away by Zhuowen.

This time, the eight of them were the same as Hei Tao. They had suffered a double loss.

From today onwards, Zhuowen's name had truly begun to spread throughout the Outer Court. Not only had the number one freshman's Contribution Points not been taken away, but this audacious fellow had snatched the Contribution Points of the seniors instead.

This was the first time such arrogant behavior had happened since the establishment of the outer court. In the past, although the strength of the new students recruited by the academy was also very strong, they were all inferior to the older students. Therefore, the new students who entered the outer court for the first time would basically have their new student rewards snatched away by the older students.

Even though this sort of action was slightly like the strong bullying the weak, the higher-ups of the academy turned a blind eye to it. Because the students that the outer court recruited were all top geniuses from the various regions of the outside world, and all of them were arrogant and didn't know the immensity of the heavens and the earth.

Moreover, the fact that the seniors snatched the Contribution Points of the new students was actually a way to dampen the spirits of the new students. It let these new students know that although their talents were the top in their respective regions, they were nothing in the outer court. It was to let them cultivate in a down-to-earth manner in the future, and not to be arrogant.

Therefore, it was said that the bullying of the new students by the seniors had faintly become a tradition in the outer court. However, today, the number one freshman, Zhuowen, had broken this tradition. Not only did he hold on to his own Contribution Points, but he also snatched the Contribution Points of the seniors.

It was precisely because of such a gimmick that Zhuowen's name had spread among many seniors in the outer court. Of course, these were all things that would happen later. Currently, Zhuowen was still unaware of this matter. He was currently walking towards the residence arranged by the academy with Mo Lingtian.

The two of them had the jade slip given by the dean, so they didn't have any embarrassing incidents like getting lost in the huge academy.

The residences of the new students were uniformly arranged in a secluded bamboo forest in the northwest area of the outer court. The verdant bamboo forest, the loud and clear Orioles, the elegant path, and the gentle breeze. This residence surrounded by the bamboo forest gave off a tranquil and distant feeling.

Situated in this bamboo forest, Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian leisurely walked, enjoying this leisurely tranquility.

"I really didn't expect that I would be able to enjoy such a tranquil time. This is truly unimaginable in the world of martial artists." Mo Lingtian comfortably stretched his waist and spoke in a relaxed manner.

Zhuowen nodded, a trace of a relaxed feeling in his eyes. This secluded bamboo forest seemed to have a charm that made one's heart as calm as water. Being in this bamboo forest, one's heart would always be able to naturally calm down.

Narrowing his eyes, Zhuowen couldn't help but think that ever since he came to this world of martial artists, it seemed that he had never enjoyed such a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere.

In the world of martial artists, other than cultivation, there was only killing. If one didn't constantly become stronger, then one would always be eliminated by this world of martial artists where the strong preyed on the weak. Therefore, ever since Zhuowen came to this world, he had never relaxed, nor did he allow himself to relax.

In fact, Zhuowen had long been fed up with this kind of world. However, there were times when people couldn't help themselves. Since Zhuowen had already stepped into this world of martial artists, then he couldn't turn back. This was an endless path that couldn't be turned back.

When you stepped onto this path, you would either become a stepping stone for others, forever becoming an insignificant passerby in history. Or you would use others as a stepping stone to climb to a height that no one else could reach, allowing history to rewrite for you.

Once you turned back, then all you would see would be countless piles of bones. That was the path that he had walked, the people that he had killed, and everything that he had missed. These past events would only bring an unbearable pressure to a martial artist.

Therefore, in the world of martial artists, one couldn't turn back. One only needed to look forward, and walk down the path that one believed to be right. Once one reached the peak, then one would be able to walk a smooth path of freedom.

"I finally understand the meaning of the phrase 'a person in Jianghu has no choice'." Zhuowen muttered in a low voice, the corners of his mouth revealing a trace of a bitter smile.

From time to time, new students would pass by on the small path in the bamboo forest. Those new students who passed by naturally recognized Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian. They respectfully nodded towards the two, and passed by the two.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the depths of the bamboo forest. In the depths of the forest, there was a rather large open space. On the open space, there were rows of bamboo houses. Although the bamboo houses were simple and crude, they were rather elegant.

"Looks like these bamboo houses are the living quarters of us new students. However, the facilities seem a little simple and crude?" Mo Lingtian frowned a little as he said.

He was originally a prince of the Yanxuan Empire, and usually lived a life of luxury. Hence, he had an instinctive resistance towards these simple and crude bamboo houses before him.

Zhuowen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I feel that these bamboo houses are not bad. Moreover, the surrounding environment is not bad either. It is quite beneficial for training one's mental state."

Upon hearing Zhuowen's words, Mo Lingtian curled his lips and said, "I was just casually complaining, and didn't really dislike these bamboo houses. However, I wonder if Xuan Xing, Jia Nan and Gatha are in one of the bamboo houses in this open space?"

Just as Mo Lingtian finished speaking, a rather excited voice was immediately transmitted from behind the two of them.

"Big brother Zhuo, big brother Mo, the two of you have indeed returned."

Upon hearing this, Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian both turned their heads to look, and immediately saw Jia Nan excitedly running towards them. Behind Jia Nan was Gatha and Xuan Xing.

"Oh?

You knew that the two of us would return? "After waiting for Jia Nan, Gatha and Xuan Xing to arrive in front of them, Zhuowen asked in a somewhat astonished manner.

"Big brother Zhuo!

Other than the two of you, the other eight of the top ten new students have all returned. I even heard that the Contribution Points awarded to the eight of them had all been taken away by the older students. We were still worried about the two of you, so we waited for you at the entrance of this open space. Indeed, we found you. "Gatha said in a soft voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian both looked at each other, and saw a gentle smile in each other's eyes. It seemed that Jia Nan, Gatha and Xuan Xing were very considerate, and had actually personally waited for them at the entrance of their living quarters.

"Brother Zhuo, Brother Mo!

Are the two of you alright? I heard that the older students are very strong, and even Palm Palm was defeated in a few moves. Although Brother Zhuo is very strong, he should not be a match for those older students. "

"However, the two of you do not need to be discouraged. With the two of your talents, with the help of the Cultivation Tower, your strength will definitely rise very quickly. When that time comes, those older students who are trying to snatch your Contribution Points will be the ones who will be afraid."

Xuan Xing stood up, her beautiful eyes looking at Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian as she softly consoled them. Evidently, she also believed that Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian would not be able to escape the fate of having their Contribution Points snatched away.

"Sister Xuan Xing is right. These older students rely on the Cultivation Tower's meridian tempering effect, allowing their Yuan Power to be tempered to be several times stronger than ordinary practitioners. Therefore, they are able to obtain battle strength that far surpasses their cultivation."

"Brother Zhuo and Brother Mo are after all in the top ten of this year's new students. With your talents, if you also enter the Cultivation Tower to cultivate for a period of time, those older students will be nothing more than clowns, unable to withstand a single blow."

The two siblings, Jia Nan and Gatha, also hurriedly echoed. Obviously, they did not want Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian to be traumatized by this matter.

Seeing the concern in the three's eyes, Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian did not know whether to laugh or cry. Just as Zhuowen was about to explain, a wave of noise suddenly sounded from another bamboo house. Following which, two figures came together.

"It's Yun Zhongyang and Yuankong!" Mo Lingtian said with a frown.

Yun Zhongyang and Yuankong arrived in front of Zhuowen and Mo Lingtian at the same time. The two of them stared at Zhuowen. Yun Zhongyang opened his mouth and said, "Zhuowen!

I heard that you robbed Hei Tao, Du Tao, and the others of their contribution points? "

The moment Yun Zhongyang's words came out, Jia Nan, Gatha, and Xuan Xing were all stunned. They even suspected that they had misheard.

The three of them naturally knew that the Hei Tao and Du Tao that Yun Zhongyang mentioned were the instigators of this year's competition for the top ten spots of the new students. However, Yun Zhongyang said that the contribution points of these two seniors had been robbed by Zhuowen?

Zhuowen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Yun Zhongyang and Yuankong were quite well-informed. It had not been long since he had robbed Hei Tao and Du Tao, but the two of them had already received the news. However, what made Zhuowen a little puzzled was why the two of them had come over.

"Brother Zhuo!

Did you really rob Hei Tao and Du Tao of their contribution points? "Jia Nan asked with dry lips.

Zhuowen was already a monster enough to obtain the top spot of the new students, but now, even the seniors could not do anything to him. Instead, the seniors had been robbed by Zhuowen. This kind of unimaginable thing had actually been done by Zhuowen.
