"Sure enough, it's in the top ten!"

Fang Han slowly sheathed his sword, his face calm, but his mood was extremely good, and he actually reached seventh place in one breath.

This was a bit higher than he expected. None of the top ten people were easy. Being ranked seventh was already a surprise to him.

The most important thing is that he achieved his goal and successfully entered the top ten, and he will be able to receive additional rewards in the future.

The beginning of the month is coming soon. After receiving the extra reward at the beginning of the month, he will be able to increase Footwork Talent to sixteen times.

He returned to his residence. The disciples he passed along the way subconsciously moved out of the way and watched him leave with complicated eyes.

And the news about him was like a prairie fire, sweeping across the entire Zi Courtyard at an alarming speed.

"Have you heard? Fang Han beat Martial Dao Stele and entered the top ten, ranking seventh!"

"Directly entering the top ten? Is this true?"

Wang Meng also heard this news from a female disciple who pleased her at her residence.

"Seventh?"

For the first time, there was an obvious look of absence on her cold face.

seventh place...

The boy from Liangshui City little Lineage who she once considered "ordinary" has now reached this stage.

She couldn't help but think of her brother Wang Miao, the brother she had always looked up to and regarded as her goal.

A ridiculous thought popped up uncontrollably: Is it possible for Fang Han in the future... to be ranked Prodigy Ranking like his elder brother?

But as soon as this thought arose, she quickly extinguished it herself.

She shook her head slightly.

Prodigy Ranking? That's where the top evildoers in Qingyang Prefecture gather.

Fang Han Although his talent is high, it is still too difficult to reach the level of his brother... after all.

She admitted that Fang Han was extremely talented, but she still did not think that Fang Han could enter Prodigy Ranking.

However, the wavering deep in her heart that she didn't even want to admit was like a pebble thrown into the lake, causing tiny ripples.

Elder Courtyard, Chen Xuan residence.

Wu Hao Deacon walked quickly into the courtyard, with a look of surprise and joy on his face that was difficult to conceal.

Chen Xuan is sitting in front of the stone table, sipping a cup of freshly brewed tea and flipping through an ancient book.

Seeing Wu Hao's expression, he put down Teacup and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Elder, Fang Han... he just broke into Martial Dao Stele." Wu Hao's voice was filled with excitement.

"Oh?" Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, without much surprise on his face, "Where is it ranked?"

"Seventh! Directly promoted from twenty-fourth to seventh place!" Wu Hao took a deep breath and said solemnly.

Chen Xuan's hand twirling his beard paused slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Even with his city, hearing this result would inevitably cause waves in his heart.

In one month, he was promoted to seventeen places at once, and even entered the top ten, ranking seventh.

This level of progress was even higher than he expected.

"This boy really did not disappoint me."

Chen Xuan spoke slowly, with a calm tone, but the almost imperceptible slight arc at the corner of his mouth showed his inner satisfaction.

It is true that he did not hesitate to confront True Disciple Chu Feng for this son.

This investment seems to be worth it now!

"Continue to pay attention, but don't interfere too much, just let it grow naturally."

Chen Xuan gave an order, then picked up Teacup again, his eyes returning to the ancient books, as if he had just heard an ordinary trivial matter.

But Wu Hao knew that Elder's regard for Fang Han must have increased a little more.

He responded respectfully and quietly retreated.

In the courtyard, the fragrance of tea lingered, but Chen Xuan's eyes were not focused on the book page, but looked in the direction of Zi Courtyard, with a hint of unnoticeable expectation in his eyes.

The Instruction Hall at the beginning of the month was slightly more agitated than the Instruction Hall at the 15th.

The reason is because according to convention, the beginning of the month is not only the day to listen to Elder Deacon's lectures, but also the time to distribute the sect benefits and Martial Dao Stele ranking rewards for this month.

Just like the day when I received my salary in my previous life, the entire company is often the day when people's hearts are at their most volatile.

Fang Han stepped into the hall and found a seat near the front to sit down.

Many eyes fell on him, either explicitly or covertly. The reason was obviously because his ranking had been promoted to seventh place and he could receive contribution rewards in addition to basic benefits this month.

His face was calm and his eyes were slightly lowered, as if he didn't notice.

Xiao Chen came over, lowered his voice, and had a bit of emotion on his face.

"Fang Han, have you heard? Huang Ling'er, ranked third, has broken through to Eighth-rank early stage."

"Breakthrough to Eighth-rank early stage?"

Fang Han was slightly surprised, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the pretty figure with a yellow hair ornament in the crowd.

Huang Ling'er was chatting and laughing in a low voice with a female disciple next to him. He felt carefully that his breath was indeed thicker and thicker than before.

Xiao Chen continued.

"However, her ranking is still third, because Yun Qianyue and Li Feng are not idle either, and have also entered the mid-term of Grade Eight. The top three rankings remain unchanged."

Fang Han Hearing this, a trace of solemnity flashed deep in his eyes.

I am improving rapidly, and others, especially the top three, are also improving rapidly.

If you want to catch up with these top talents, you still need to continue working hard and not relax at all.

"Quiet!"

Wu Hao Deacon held the roster and stood in front of the hall. His voice spread clearly throughout the entire hall, suppressing the slight noise in the hall.

His eyes were like lightning, scanning the whole place, and said loudly.

"Now, according to the final ranking of Martial Dao Stele last month, come forward to receive this month's contribution value."

The disciples in the hall suddenly became energetic, and the time they were most looking forward to had arrived.

"First place, Yun Qianyue."

Yun Qianyue, with a cold expression and his face covered with purple gauze, stepped forward slowly and handed over his Identity Token.

Wu Hao Deacon took it, brushed it on something like an inkstone, and handed it back to Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue took the Identity Jade Token that Wu Hao Deacon handed back, nodded slightly and stepped back.

"Second place, Li Feng."

Li Feng held the long knife in his arms, with stern eyes and steady steps. After receiving this month's contribution value, he also nodded slightly and retreated.

"Third place, Huang Ling'er..."

"Seventh place, Fang Han."

When Wu Hao Deacon read out the name, there was a slight commotion in the hall.

Many eyes were focused on Fang Han, with curiosity, exploration, envy, fear... just to name a few.

Fang Han looked calm and walked forward under the gaze of everyone.

He could clearly feel that among the top ten disciples, there were some with particularly sharp eyes.

Shi Meng, ranked fourth, stood with arms folded, a look of scrutiny on his rough face.

Liu Suifeng, ranked fifth, has cold and arrogant eyes, but underneath this cold arrogance there is dignity.

Yan Hongyu, ranked sixth, also has a bit more solemnity in the fierce look between his eyebrows.

The rise of Fang Han means that the top ten structure has been broken, and the competition for resources will become more intense in the future.

This fellow student who has made rapid progress since Beginner stage will become their competitor in the future.

"It can't be compared, it really can't be compared!"

Lu Xing, who used to be tenth but has now been pushed to eleventh, looked at Fang Han's back and couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his lips.

If Fang Han can only make it into the top ten, he may still be willing to compete.

But the opponent rushed to seventh place in one fell swoop, and the difference in strength was already obvious, so he was convinced.

He turned his attention to Ji Hao, who was currently ranked tenth, and his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

If he wants to return to the top ten, Ji Hao is the current goal that he needs to surpass.

"That's right. Keep practicing diligently and guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

Wu Hao Deacon scratched Fang Han's Identity Jade Token on the special utensil and handed it back to him with a gentle encouragement.

"Thank you Deacon for your teachings. Disciple, please remember."

Fang Han took the jade plaque with both hands, Internal Qi vomited slightly and saw that the number displayed on it changed to "360".

Last month, after completing the task, the contribution value reached 230, but because the trustee redeemed a bottle of Foundation Cultivation Pill again, it dropped to 220.

This month's basic welfare is 30 points, and the reward for ranking seventh is 110 points. Adding the remainder from last month, the total contribution value is 360 points.

He couldn't help but feel happy.

Converting these contribution points into resources is enough to collect the silver required to activate the fourth level increase of Footwork Talent.

After receiving it, Fang Han returned to the crowd, and other disciples stepped forward to receive it.

After all the disciples received it, Chen Xuan Elder walked in slowly, followed by Deacon, and the teaching officially began.

In the following lectures, Fang Han could clearly feel that whether it was Elder Chen's practice guidance or Liu Chong Deacon's detailed Sword Technique analysis, the number of eyes falling on him increased significantly.

When explaining a key point, he would even deliberately slow down his speaking speed and glance at him, as if to confirm whether he understood.

This kind of invisible care attracted the envious looks of many disciples.

Fang Han knew very well that this was the inevitable result of the improvement of his own value. He did not feel proud, but became calmer and concentrated on absorbing the teaching content.

The lecture ended and everyone dispersed one after another.

Fang Han walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Xiao Chen who was about to leave.

"Xiao Chen."

"Fang Han? Is something wrong?" Xiao Chen stopped and looked at him doubtfully.

Fang Han hesitated for a moment and directly explained his purpose.

"I would like to ask you to do me a favor and go to the Pill Hall to redeem three bottles of 'True Spirit Pill' on my behalf."

With that said, he wanted to transfer the contribution value in Identity Jade Token to Xiao Chen.

True Spirit Pill is an auxiliary Danyao that is several times more effective than Foundation Cultivation Pill. It is a good product for the Inner Qi Realm warriors to practice, but it is also extremely expensive. One piece requires ten contribution points, and a bottle of ten pieces equals one hundred contribution points.

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood Fang Han's concerns. Apparently Fang Han was worried about being made things difficult for him again.

He and Fang Han completed the transfer of contribution points. Looking at the three hundred extra contribution points on his jade token, he couldn't help but be speechless and joked.

"Tsk tsk, three bottles of True Spirit Pill, that's 300 contribution points! Fang Han, your top ten treatment is indeed extraordinary, you are even willing to use this kind of Danyao for cultivation? How generous!"

Fang Han smiled slightly and did not explain that the redemption of True Spirit Pill was not for cultivation, but for other purposes, just Daoism.

"Thank you, brother Xiao Chen."

"It's a small matter, wait for my news."

Xiao Chen patted his chest, turned around and walked in the direction of the Pill Hall.

Fang Han will return Zi Courtyard, please wait patiently.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

"Here, there are three bottles of True Spirit Pill, a total of thirty pills. Please count them."

Fang Han opened the door and Xiao Chen handed him a Cloth Pouch.
