Chaotic Sword God

p>Amongst all the people, there were also a few people who had serious leg injuries, rendering them unable to walk.
They were being supported by their companions the whole way, and approached the outside of the forest, one step after another.

Perhaps it was because there were so so many people present here, but there were absolutely no magical beasts in the vicinity.
It was even safer than before.

Soon after, Jian Chen’s group followed the direction the enchantment in the sky pointed to in order to exit the 1st region, and they finally exited the forest.
Outside stood the vice headmaster, Chang Bai En, wearing a white changpao, his back straight.
Behind him stood a few teachers with indifferent expressions.
Further behind them was a large group of nearly 1000 Kargath Academy students.
They were split into two groups: the group on the right had many more times people than the other group.
Among them, some people were wearing academy uniforms that were dirty, but had very few tears.
On the whole, they seemed to be in excellent and undamaged conditions.

The other group of people seemed to be in a more difficult situation.
Their uniforms were all tattered, and sported quite a few bloodstains as well.
Underneath the multiple rips on their clothes, it could clearly be seen that they sported many scars on their bodies.

The people in the left group only had around 200 people.
All of them were in sorry states; majority of the people there were wearing clothes made of bark or beast skins, and there were quite a few people that had naked torsos.
However, all the people that walked out of the forest were organized by a teacher to join the group on the left.

Afterwards, Jian Chen’s group sat on the grass quietly in wait.
By this point, he had already understood that all the people in the left group were those that had stayed in the forest for the entire 3 days, and had just left the forest today.
On the other hand, the people in the right group were all those that had escaped before the three days were up.
According to the academy’s regulations, no matter whether or not they had fulfilled the requirement of obtaining 2 monster cores, they still had failed their tasks.

As he swept his gaze in a circle, Jian Chen discovered that many people in the group he was with had melancholic expressions.
There were others that looked at certain people with looks of deep hatred, looking like they would spit out flames from their eyes.

At that moment, Jian Chen sensed something.
He turned around to look behind him, and saw two people with dirty faces and wearing clothing made of beast skins supporting a student in similar attire.
The two were currently glaring at Jian Chen with poisonous hatred, as if burning him into a crisp with their gazes alone….a strong killing intent.

After Jian Chen closely examined the people, his mouth formed a hint of a sneer.
He already recognized that the person was actually Luo Jian.
Although Jian Chen knew that after what happened the previous night, he had definitely wronged Luo Jian, Jian Chen didn’t pay much mind to it.
In terms of strength, he wasn’t below Luo Jian at all.
Once he was able to condense a Saint Weapon and become a Saint, Luo Jian would no longer pose any threat to him.

In terms of family backgrounds, although Jian Chen wasn’t completely sure of Changyang clan’s strength, they were in no means weak in any sort of aspect.
Luo Jian was the son of the leader of a major powerful clan in Forbidden City, but in Jian Chen’s opinion, there was no way they Luo clan would bother harassing him over such a trivial matter.
After all, Luo Jian had only been injured by Jian Chen because of the training event that the academy had sent them on.
In addition, the situation at that time had been because Luo Jian had first attacked his older brother’s group.

Afterwards, once all the people had walked out of the forest, Jian Chen’s group had already increased to 300-400 people.

At this moment, the vice headmaster Chang Bai En walked up to the front of the crowd.
He looked around at the group of figures that had obviously suffered through difficult situations.
He smiled, and loudly said, “Very good.
As expected, none of you have disappointed me.
I hadn’t imagined that this event to hunt magical beasts and stay in the forest for 3 days would have more people remaining this time time compared to all the previous times this event has been held.
Now, I want everyone to maintain their current formations, and begin walking back towards the academy.”

Afterwards, the entire two groups maintained their exact formations and quickly advanced towards the academy.
In the middle of the journey, when they encountered a small river, everyone stopped to wash their faces clean, and then continued forward.
Very soon, the group of students began to approach the academy, and in the distance, they noticed that a tall platform had been erected in the center of the sports field.

The group of people stopped in front of the platform, and the vice headmaster Chang Bai En, as well as a few teachers, walked up to it.
The vice headmaster sat in the chairperson’s place with a straightforward and imposing manner, and calmly said, “The Magical Beast hunting competition occurring once every three years has now officially ended.
According to the academy’s regulations, after the task has been completed, we will now hand out awards.
I would like to now invite all the people who had stayed in the forest for the entire 3 days and have gathered 2 monster cores to simultaneously step forwards.”

As soon as the vice headmaster finished speaking, a hundred or so people immediately walked out of the crowd.

“I will now first count the Class 1 Monster Cores.
Students who have hunted Class 1 Magical Beasts, please come up to the platform for the number of monster cores in your possession to be counted.” The vice headmaster continued.

Following this, all the students that had killed Class 1 Magical Beasts, including Jian Chen and Tie Ta, all walked up to the platform.
There stood a teacher specifically assigned to count and record the number of monster cores that the students had earned.
