"You, you..."

He Yao, who had been flushed red with rage moments ago, suddenly went pale.

His back was already drenched in cold sweat.

There was something wrong with this Silver-haired Girl—something very wrong!

How could she be this strong!

The speed of her sword had already surpassed the scope of the Transforming Heaven Realm.

Even some Heaven-reaching Realm experts might not have been as fast as her!

If that were all, He Yao would not have been terrified.

But he could tell that Luo Li truly dared to kill him!

She killed without batting an eye!

"Luo Li, Luo Li, put your sword down. With this old man here, I will certainly see justice done for you."

Elder Liu, who had just been trying to stop He Yao, hurriedly turned and tried to persuade Luo Li.

This was the Task Hall of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. No matter how great the conflict between students was, they could not ignore the rules.

If someone truly killed another person in public, they would certainly have to make a trip to the Punishment Hall.

Getting out of the Punishment Hall would likely be difficult!

Cold sweat streamed down Elder Liu's face. He had truly not expected Luo Li herself to be so strong.

Even He Yao, who was at the late stage of the Transforming Heaven Realm, had no ability to fight back.

If they truly fought to the death, He Yao would definitely be instantly killed, unable to rest even in death!

"Then do my words count?"

Luo Li's expression remained unchanged as she asked calmly.

She knew very well that strength ruled supreme.

Without such strength, others would think she was merely fooling around, and her words would carry no weight.

"Of course they count, of course!"

Elder Liu truly feared that Luo Li would strike to kill. That would be troublesome.

He could only sigh at He Yao.

"He Yao, decide for yourself."

He handed the right to choose over to He Yao himself.

Even if He Yao suffered grievous injuries or even died, he could not blame anyone else.

Damn it!

He Yao cursed wildly in his heart.

Yet he had no choice but to admit that Luo Li was putting immense psychological pressure on him.

If she had been agitated and overly emotional, he could have been certain that his life was safe.

But Luo Li was far too calm.

It was as though she had killed many people before and did not care if the sword in her hand drank more blood.

"Demon Gate, disband on the spot!"

He Yao closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing several times before he finally agreed weakly.

There were quite a few members of the Demon Gate in the Task Hall, and they had followed He Yao here.

They could not believe that their leader, who was so formidable, had still compromised.

Why not take a gamble?

This was the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. No matter how ruthless Luo Li was, she would not dare to truly kill someone, right?

"From this day onward, I am no longer a member of the Demon Gate!"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, they knew that with Luo Li in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the Demon Gate would never rise again.

Even if He Yao was still alive, he would not dare to rebuild it.

The members of the Demon Gate immediately tore off their outer robes.

He Yao's heart bled. These people had all been cash cows cultivated with his many resources.

Now they were gone just like that. In the future, he would have to work hard to earn resources himself.

"The Demon Gate has disbanded. You should let me go now, right?"

He did not dare make any large movements. This pitch-black longsword was far too sharp.

If Luo Li had not been skilled enough to wield it as easily as an extension of her arm, a careless movement might have cost him his life.

Hearing this, Luo Li put away the Luo God Sword and calmly stood before Elder Liu.

Then, before everyone's eyes, she took out a blood-soaked head!

The face on that head was unfamiliar to most people.

But who was He Yao? Fourth on the Heavenly Ranking!

He had also studied the enemies of the Dragon Demon Palace on the Bounty Ranking.

At first glance, he recognized the owner of the head.

"Demon Dragon Son? You actually killed Demon Dragon Son before Shen Cangsheng did!?"

He Yao, who had still been unwilling to accept this and had intended to seek a chance for revenge in the future, lost all composure when he saw the bloodstained head of the Demon Dragon Son and collapsed onto the ground.

Looking at the savage demonic dragon tattoo on the Demon Dragon Son's forehead, he was finally afraid!

Just moments ago, he had truly nearly died!

With one slash, his head would have been separated from his body!

At that time, would his head have looked any better than the Demon Dragon Son's head before him?

The living example before his eyes completely shattered He Yao's resolve.

Looking at Luo Li's retreating figure, he felt that he would never be able to catch up to her in this lifetime.

"What? The Demon Dragon Son's head!"

Elder Liu was also badly startled.

As an elder of the Heaven-reaching Realm and the person stationed at the Task Hall, he was extremely familiar with the people on the Bounty Ranking.

Some time ago, Shen Cangsheng, first on the Heavenly Ranking, had accepted the bounty mission to hunt down the Demon Dragon Son.

Then, a few days ago, An Ran had brought Luo Li here to try and accept the same bounty mission.

No matter how he considered it, Elder Liu did not think the latter had any chance.

After all, the strict requirement for completing the bounty mission was the Demon Dragon Son's head!

Only that could prove that the Demon Dragon Son was truly dead!

Yet before Shen Cangsheng could return carrying the Demon Dragon Son's head—

After witnessing Luo Li casually defeat He Yao in an instant, Elder Liu saw her calmly produce the Demon Dragon Son's head.

It was simply too bizarre!

Even Shen Cangsheng, after returning to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy back then, had immediately announced in the most ostentatious manner that he had killed Yu Yuan of the Dragon Demon Palace, formerly third on the Bounty Ranking, shocking countless people.

But Luo Li simply did not care.

If He Yao had not come looking for trouble, the first person to learn that she had brought back the Demon Dragon Son's head would probably have been Elder Liu alone, right?

"Is this real? A bounty mission that even Shen Cangsheng has not completed was finished by a newly arrived junior sister?"

"No, I feel like I'm dreaming."

"We've only been enrolled for a year or two. How have we already grown old and fallen behind the times!?"

Quite a few people began doubting their lives.

She possessed the astonishing strength to instantly defeat He Yao, as well as the formidable achievement of slaying the Demon Dragon Son, second on the Bounty Ranking.

Without question, Luo Li's fearsome reputation in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had truly been established!

Even though she had not actively challenged the Heavenly Ranking, this was enough to make people speculate about where she might rank on it.

Naturally, she had to be compared with Shen Cangsheng, the current first on the Heavenly Ranking.

"Do you also receive Spiritual Value rewards for challenging the Heavenly Ranking?"

While Elder Liu held the Demon Dragon Son's head and studied it for a while, Luo Li turned toward An Ran and asked.

Zhao Chen had reminded her of this.

"There are Spiritual Value rewards."

An Ran came back to her senses and secretly gave Luo Li a thumbs-up for her earlier performance before saying,

"The first time you challenge the rankings, the higher your ranking, the greater the reward."

"And if you maintain a stable rank on the Heavenly Ranking, you receive a certain amount of Spiritual Value every day."

"If you successfully challenge for first place on the Heavenly Ranking, you might receive several hundred thousand, perhaps even over a million Spiritual Value."

She had heard others discuss this before, though she did not know whether it would truly work that way in practice.

Even the Spiritual Value reward Shen Cangsheng had received when he successfully challenged for first place could not serve as a reference.

After all, before becoming first on the Heavenly Ranking, he had already been on the ranking.

But Luo Li was an unknown newcomer.

An unknown newcomer challenging the rankings for the first time and directly taking first place.

Clearly, such a reward would be the greatest since the Heavenly Ranking had been established!

Over a million Spiritual Value would be no problem at all!

"Too small, too small. Little girl, your vision is too narrow!"

Elder Liu, who did not find the Demon Dragon Son's head disgusting in the slightest, grinned after hearing An Ran's answer.

"As far as this old man knows, if Luo Li truly becomes first on the Heavenly Ranking, the minimum would be this much."

He raised his right hand, and his finger was stained with blood.

But no one paid attention to that.

What they focused on was...

An Ran's eyes widened as she trembled.

"How much? Ten million Spiritual Value!?"

Even Luo Li was startled at this moment.

If there really were ten million Spiritual Value, why would she have gone to kill the Demon Dragon Son first?

Little Nine Netherbird on her shoulder felt the same way.

Zhao Chen: "I'm only a blade of grass, not an all-knowing prophet. How would I know..."
