Seeing this, Chen Changqing remained calm.
"Are these the Realm Beasts within the Void Realm?"
"They're not much in terms of strength—only at the Qi Refining First Layer."
In less than a few breaths, the Black Wind Wolf had already charged before Chen Changqing. Its jaws opened wide, and a black whirlwind shot toward Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing's gaze turned cold as his fingers swiftly formed hand seals.
"Slash!"
With a single pointed finger, the Shadow-Bearing Sword, driven by the Sword Control Technique, transformed into a streak of brilliance and shot straight out.
"Whoosh!"
The sword light flashed like lightning, cleaving straight through the black whirlwind.
Its remaining force did not diminish. In an instant, it streaked toward 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 at his waist suddenly emitted a dazzling radiance.
When he looked again, the number "1" had appeared on the front of the token.
Chen Changqing lowered his eyes to his Identity Token and smiled faintly.
"One point obtained."
After that, he gave it no further thought and continued onward with his sword.
Meanwhile.
Within the Void Realm, disciples from the other outer courtyards had also begun killing Realm Beasts and searching for opportunities.
The Fourth Courtyard's disciples formed a battle formation, and Realm Beasts fell one after another wherever they passed.
Several disciples from the Third Courtyard slaughtered Realm Beasts all the way into a valley. It was said that spirit herbs could be found within!
A fat disciple 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 hard 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!
Whenever they encountered powerful Realm Beasts, they chose to take a detour. What they had their eyes on were the treasures and inheritances within the Void Realm; there was no need to lock horns with Realm Beasts to the death.
After all, for ordinary disciples, the hope of entering the Inner Sect was slim. They might as well take this chance to seek out some treasures.
If their luck was good enough to find some spiritual treasure or the like, they could rise to the heavens in a single step.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, three days went by.
Over those three days, Chen Changqing controlled the Shadow-Bearing Sword and swept through everything in his path, already slaying three hundred Realm Beasts.
The strongest among them had even reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, comparable to the elite disciples of the Seven Outer Courtyards.
But to Chen Changqing.
That level of strength was clearly not worth mentioning.
Though he too was at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, the cultivation art he practiced was the Nine Turns Qi Refining Art. The qi and essence within his body were three times greater than those of ordinary disciples.
Moreover, he had entered the Qi Refining realm after breaking through from the Ultimate Realm of Body Refining.
Since he had not encountered any stronger Realm Beasts, Chen Changqing had no precise judgment of his own strength.
But in his view, even if he encountered a Realm Beast comparable to the Foundation Establishment realm, he could still fight it!
"Too slow!"
"Killing Realm Beasts like this is far too inefficient."
"After ten days, I'm afraid the points I earn still won't be enough to enter the top twenty."
Chen Changqing stopped in a valley and lowered his eyes to look at his Identity Token. The number on it had already become "300."
Just then, movement suddenly came from not far away.
"Hm?"
Chen Changqing turned to look, only to see several figures dart out of the dense forest with ill intent.
Before long, the group had completely surrounded Chen Changqing.
"Sixth Courtyard?"
Chen Changqing examined their clothing. Every one of them wore the same blue robe.
Seeing Chen Changqing hesitate, the man at the lead said coldly.
"Brat from the Seven Courtyards!"
"If you know what's good for you, hand over your points. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Chen Changqing froze for a moment, looking slightly surprised.
"You can hand over points after obtaining them?"
Hearing that, the leading disciple of the Sixth Courtyard sneered.
"Looks like you entered the Void Realm without knowing a thing, kid!"
"Within the Void Realm, seizing other people's points is permitted."
"Of course, the prerequisite is... you need to have the strength!"
As he spoke, the man held out a hand and continued.
"Hand over your Identity Token obediently!"
Upon hearing this, a sharp gleam flashed in Chen Changqing's eyes. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he said meaningfully.
"So it can be done this way."
"How did I not think of that?"
As soon as his words fell, Chen Changqing's figure flashed, and he abruptly vanished from where he stood.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Immediately afterward, explosions of fists rang out.
The Sixth Courtyard disciples who had surrounded Chen Changqing had yet to react when Chen Changqing's lightning-wreathed fists sent them flying.
Before long, the Sixth Courtyard disciples who had planned to rob Chen Changqing were all bruised and swollen, beaten into pig heads.
"Now!"
"It's your turn to hand over your points."
Chen Changqing stood with his sword in hand, looking down at the Sixth Courtyard disciples curled up on the ground.
The Sixth Courtyard disciples were pale-faced and trembling.
They had thought that running into 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?
Left with no choice, they could only grit their teeth and hand over their Identity Tokens.
Under the Sixth Courtyard disciples' guidance, Chen Changqing pressed the tokens he had taken against his own Identity Token.
He then saw the points from the Sixth Courtyard disciples' tokens transfer into his own.
After the exchange, Chen Changqing's original three hundred points became five hundred.
"Robbing others for points is much faster than hunting Realm Beasts for them alone!"
Chen Changqing smiled in satisfaction, casually tossed the Identity Tokens whose points had been emptied back to the Sixth Courtyard disciples, then rode away on his sword with dashing ease!
Having tasted the sweetness of it.
Chen Changqing completely let loose from then on and began his road of robbing points.
He no longer focused solely on hunting Realm Beasts, instead specifically seeking out disciples from other courtyards.
Three disciples from the Fifth Courtyard had just joined forces to kill a Realm Beast at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.
Before they could even celebrate, Chen Changqing forced them back with a single sword strike, and they obediently handed over their points.
A disciple from the Third Courtyard skilled in concealment hid atop a tree, preparing a sneak attack. In the end, a streak of Sword Qi from Chen Changqing knocked him down, and he conceded in embarrassment, handing over his points!
Some other disciples had also been plotting to rob others of their points, only to encounter Chen Changqing and be robbed by the robber, their points taken away!
At this moment, within a hidden cave in 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 number of points on it had already reached 1000.
Obtaining points through robbery was far faster than killing Realm Beasts himself.
At this time.
Outside the Void Realm, on the vast plaza, the people of the Seven Outer Courtyards were watching a pillar at every moment.
The Points Leaderboard was updated in real time upon that pillar.
Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm.
"Quick, look! Who is that Chen Changqing? How did he suddenly rush up to third place on the Points Leaderboard?"
