At this sight, Chen Changqing remained calm.
"So these are the realm beasts within the Void Realm?"
"They aren't very strong. Only at the First Layer of Qi Refining."
In less than a few breaths, the Black Wind Wolf had already charged before Chen Changqing. It opened its jaws, and a black whirlwind shot toward Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing's gaze turned cold as his hands rapidly formed seals.
"Slash!"
With a single finger thrust, the Chengying Sword, driven by the Sword Control Technique, transformed into a streak of light and shot straight out.
"Whoosh!"
The sword light flashed like lightning, cleaving straight through the black whirlwind.
Its remaining force did not diminish, and in an instant, it streaked before the Black Wind Wolf.
"Bang!"
Before the Black Wind Wolf could react, its body was instantly cut in half.
Just as Chen Changqing slew the Black Wind Wolf, the Identity Token hanging from his waist suddenly radiated a brilliant glow.
When he looked again, a number "1" had appeared on the front of the token.
Chen Changqing lowered his gaze to his Identity Token and smiled faintly.
"One point secured."
After that, he gave it no further thought and continued onward on his sword.
At the same time.
Within the Void Realm, disciples from the other Outer Sect courtyards had also begun slaying realm beasts and searching for opportunities.
The Fourth Courtyard disciples had formed a battle formation. Wherever they passed, realm beasts fell one after another.
Several Third Courtyard disciples had slaughtered realm beasts all the way into a valley, where spiritual herbs were rumored to grow!
A fat man from the Fifth Courtyard pulled out a map and muttered slyly.
"The Treasure Map Senior Brother left behind last time will finally come in handy!"
It was not difficult to see that some of them had come for the rankings.
Thus, they worked exceptionally hard when killing realm beasts.
Of course, quite a few had entered the Void Realm simply to reap benefits!
When they encountered powerful realm beasts, they chose to detour around them. What they valued were the treasures and inheritances within the Void Realm; there was no need to lock horns with realm beasts to the bitter end.
After all, for ordinary disciples, entering the Inner Sect was a distant hope. They might as well seize the chance to seek out some treasures.
If they were lucky enough to find a Spiritual Treasure or something similar, they could ascend to the heavens in a single step.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
Over those three days, Chen Changqing controlled the Chengying Sword and swept all before him, slaughtering three hundred realm beasts.
The strongest among them had reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, comparable to an elite disciple of the Seven Outer Courtyards.
But to Chen Changqing.
Such strength was clearly not worth mentioning.
Though he too was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, the art he cultivated was the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Art. The refined essence within his body was three times that of an ordinary disciple.
Moreover, he had entered the Qi Refining Realm through the Body Refining Extreme Realm.
Since he had not encountered a stronger realm beast, Chen Changqing had no precise grasp of his own strength.
But in his view, even if he encountered a realm beast with strength comparable to Foundation Establishment, he could still fight it!
"Too slow!"
"Killing realm beasts like this is simply too inefficient."
"After ten days, I'm afraid my points still won't be enough to enter the top twenty."
Chen Changqing stopped in a valley and lowered his gaze to his Identity Token. The number on it had already become "300."
Just then, movement suddenly came from nearby.
"Hm?"
Chen Changqing turned his head and saw several figures emerge from the dense forest with ill intent.
Before long, the group had Chen Changqing surrounded on all sides.
"From the Sixth Courtyard?"
Chen Changqing examined their attire. Every one of them wore the same blue robes.
Seeing Chen Changqing hesitate, the leading man said coldly.
"Kid from the Seven Courtyards!"
"If you know what's good for you, hand over your points. Otherwise, don't blame us for getting rough."
Chen Changqing froze for a moment, looking slightly surprised.
"You can hand over points after obtaining them?"
At that, the leading Sixth Courtyard Disciple snickered.
"Looks like you entered the Void Realm without knowing anything, kid!"
"Within the Void Realm, robbing points is permitted."
"Of course, there's one condition... you need to have the strength!"
As he spoke, the man held out a hand and added.
"Hand over your Identity Token obediently!"
A sharp gleam flashed in Chen Changqing's eyes. The corners of his lips lifted slightly as he said meaningfully.
"So that's how it works."
"How did I not think of that?"
The moment his words fell, Chen Changqing's figure flashed and vanished from where he stood.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Immediately afterward, a series of explosive punches rang out.
The Sixth Courtyard disciples who had surrounded Chen Changqing had not even reacted before Chen Changqing's fist force, crackling with lightning, sent them flying.
Before long, the Sixth Courtyard disciples who had intended to rob Chen Changqing were all battered black and blue, beaten into pig heads.
"Now!"
"It's your turn to hand over your points."
Chen Changqing stood with his sword in hand, looking down from above at the Sixth Courtyard disciples curled up on the ground.
The Sixth Courtyard disciples were pale-faced and trembling.
They had thought that encountering someone from the Seven Courtyards would let them pick up an easy bargain.
Who would have thought Chen Changqing's strength would be so terrifying?
Helplessly, they could only grit their teeth and hand over their Identity Tokens.
Following the Sixth Courtyard disciples' instructions, Chen Changqing pressed the tokens he had taken against his own Identity Token.
He then watched as the points on the Sixth Courtyard disciples' tokens transferred into his own.
After the operation, Chen Changqing's original 300 points became 500.
"Robbing other people's points is far faster than earning points by hunting realm beasts alone!"
Chen Changqing smiled in satisfaction, casually tossed the Identity Tokens whose points had been cleared back to the Sixth Courtyard disciples, and flew away on his sword with effortless grace!
Having tasted the sweetness of it.
Chen Changqing completely let loose from then on and began his path of robbing points.
He no longer focused solely on hunting realm beasts, instead specifically seeking out disciples from other courtyards.
Three Fifth Courtyard disciples had just joined forces to kill a realm beast at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.
Before they could even celebrate, Chen Changqing drove them back with a single sword strike, forcing them to obediently hand over their points.
A Third Courtyard disciple skilled in concealment hid atop a tree, preparing to launch a sneak attack. Yet Chen Changqing knocked him down with a strand of Sword Qi, leaving him to concede in disgrace and hand over his points!
There were also some disciples who harbored plans of robbing others' points, only to run into Chen Changqing and be robbed in turn, their points taken away!
At this moment, inside a hidden cave within the Void Realm.
Chen Changqing was tallying his gains.
"Not bad, not bad. In such a short time, my points have already reached one thousand."
As he spoke, Chen Changqing glanced at his Identity Token. The points displayed on it had already reached 1000.
Earning points through robbery was far faster than hunting realm beasts himself.
At this time.
Outside the Void Realm, on the vast plaza, the people from the Seven Outer Courtyards were watching a pillar at every moment.
The Scoreboard was updated in real time upon that pillar.
Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm.
"Look! Who is this Chen Changqing? How did he suddenly surge to third place on the Scoreboard?"
