Gu Panxia was one of the few female disciples of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion who participated in the Sword Guardian Battalion Camp. She was initially assigned to the Spear Squad, and her combat record at the time was quite impressive.
Regarding the distribution of demon-hunting merits, the Sword Guardian Battalion had long ago discussed and come up with a comprehensive system. Regardless of who killed the Otherworldly Demon, the merits would be distributed according to each person's contribution. The entire distribution plan was decided by a joint vote, making it very fair.
Gu Panxia's strength was only at the Late Qi Nourishing Realm, but this time she actually obtained more than 30,000 Demon Hunting Merits, which was like a windfall for her. She was so happy that she jumped for joy.
Not long after Gu Panxia received her contribution points, other members of Chen Mu's inner circle went to collect their rewards one after another. Their demon-hunting achievements were all quite similar to those of ordinary members of the Sword Guardian Battalion.
There are still several hundred people in the Mission Hall who haven't left yet, all eager to see who will be the number one in this year's training mission.
" Chen Duo, Demon Hunting Merit: 63525!"
" Mingye, Demon Hunting Merit: 88452!"
" Zheng Fengdao, Demon Hunting Merit: 104851!"
" Yin Zhan, Demon Hunting Merit: 118932!"
" A Huo, your demon-hunting achievements are 139,604!"
Chen Duo spent most of his time assisting Chen Mu in observing the enemy's deployment and rarely participated in battles, so his demon-hunting achievements were not very high, but still much higher than most of the team members, after all, his observation was very important.
Mingye excels at assassination, but this isn't very effective on the battlefield, so his skill level isn't very high.
Yin Zhan, Zheng Fengdao, and A Huo, as squad leaders of the Sword Guardian Battalion, all played a significant role on the battlefield.
A Huo's Sword Control Technique, in particular, is extremely efficient in killing, which is why his battle record is far ahead of others.
As the leaderboard on the screen changes, people continuously go up to claim their rewards. Once a reward is claimed, the name on the leaderboard disappears, and the achievements of the next disciple will appear on the leaderboard.
" Ge Yu, Demon Hunting Merit: 235,300!"
He Xiao stared wide-eyed, panting heavily. Ge Yu's achievement was something he had obtained by exhausting many of his connections.
To ensure the success of this bet, he not only gave Ge Yu the most powerful magic weapon before he set off, but also secretly sent a disciple in the Late True Spirit Realm to help him complete the task.
In addition, he even secretly bribed the officials in the city where Ge Yu was training, asking them to contact the Demon Hunter Group and spend a large amount of Spirit Stone to have them transfer the battle results to Ge Yu.
Throughout the history of training missions, there have been disciples with such high achievements, but they were usually senior students who had stayed in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion for seven or eight years. They rarely participated in such group training missions and usually took on independent demon-hunting missions.
Therefore, He Xiao always felt that this record was foolproof, but until now, he still hadn't seen Chen Mu's name.
He Xiao still held onto a sliver of hope: that Chen Mu might not have any achievements at all, and if he had none, his name wouldn't be displayed on the list.
" Chen Mu, Demon Hunting Merit: 1281512!"
As soon as Chen Mu's achievements were announced, they immediately sparked heated discussions, and the Mission Hall quickly became lively.
"No! Impossible! How could a disciple who has only been in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion for a year possibly have accumulated over a million Demon Hunting Merits?"
He Xiao became agitated and walked up to Elder Lin Jin, questioning him arrogantly.
Elder Lin Jin, this is definitely a mistake made by your Mission Hall!
Please tell me, just how many Otherworldly Demon did he kill to accumulate so many demon-hunting achievements?
"With his strength, is he really capable of killing the Demon King?"
Elder Lin Jin frowned at He Xiao's questioning tone, but he recognized him as the Lord of the Talisman Rune Hall, so he patiently explained to him.
"Palace Master He, this demon-hunting achievement was sent by the Imperial military. When I first saw it, I also found it strange, so I went to inquire and verify it myself."
According to the Imperial military records, Chen Mu led a hastily formed demon-hunting team, the " Sword Guardian Battalion," in the battle of Absolute Sword City, annihilating over 40,000 Otherworldly Demon troops in just three or four days. This explains his high demon-hunting achievements, so the data above is absolutely accurate!
Upon hearing Elder Lin Jin's explanation, He Xiao's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he remained speechless for a long time.
A demon-hunting team capable of wiping out an army of over 40,000 Otherworldly Demon —that's an immense force!
Even for He Xiao himself, organizing this force would be difficult. How did Chen Mu manage to do it?
The main reason Chen Mu was able to achieve such a high record was that many high-ranking generals were killed by Chen Mu's Rune Gun No. 3 during the war.
With the help of the Sword Guardian Battalion, he killed several high-level Demon General generals, which alone brought him close to a million demon-hunting merits. Therefore, Chen Mu's demon-hunting merits were not exaggerated at all.
" Old Man He, don't make things difficult for Junior Brother Lin Jin. Just hand over your ' Purple Lightning Heaven-Piercing Brush ' and this matter will be over!"
Elder Ming came out and waved a hand in front of He Xiao.
"Hmph! Old Freak Ming, you won the bet by using such underhanded tactics, I refuse to accept it!"
He Xiao flicked his sleeve, his face darkening.
"Oh? So many people witnessed our bet in the Talisman Rune Hall, you're not trying to renege on it now, are you?"
Elder Ming watched He Xiao's discomfiture with a smile, his expression indifferent.
"I'm fine with you asking me to admit it, but I want a fair outcome."
Your record has too many loopholes; I suspect this ' Sword Guardian Battalion ' is a demon-hunting group you secretly hired to win my bet!
He Xiao began to defend herself.
"So what do you want? Do you want me to bring the City Lord of Absolute Sword City here for a face-to-face confrontation?"
Elder Ming sneered.
He Xiao's explanation sparked a lot of discussion among those around him, with most people clearly siding with Elder Ming. He Xiao knew he couldn't go too far, so he had to come up with a solution.
"No need for that! I just thought that since your disciple could obtain so many demon-hunting merits, he must be very strong!"
I think that since the competition between you and me is actually a contest between talisman masters, then let your disciple and my disciple have a battle of Divine Soul.
"If your disciple can defeat my disciple's Divine Soul with his Divine Soul, then I will admit defeat in this bet."
Although He Xiao's words seemed somewhat dishonest, in the cultivation world where strength is paramount, his reasoning had some merit.
Elder Ming glanced back at Chen Mu, and seeing Chen Mu calmly nod, he no longer hesitated.
"Alright! Let's fight then! To the arena, shall we?"
"Need not!"
He Xiao tossed out dozens of Spirit Stone, which flew out of his hand and formed a powerful array in the open space of the Mission Hall.
"With this protective formation, attacks from inside won't affect the outside."
At this moment, all the disciples who participated in the training missions had received their rewards in the Mission Hall. With the rewards distributed, everyone could have left.
However, many people wanted to stay and watch the excitement, and some even called their friends and acquaintances to come back and watch the battle.
