Erian , what was your final score?"r
The Grand Envoy's eyes were full of anticipation.r
"A hundred thousand and a bit." Erian casually answered.r
One hundred thousand and a bit?r
The other students all drew in cold breaths.r
"His score's reached a hundred thousand! Even those elite class got 90k or so."r
"That score's probably beaten the ten-thousand year record."r
Chaos broke out inside the hall.r
Hehe, looks like no one elite class got to me.r
Erian laughed in his heart.r
"A hundred thousand and a bit? How much is a bit?"r
Grand Envoy glared at Erian .r
"150,880."r
Erian purposely gave a far lower score because he didn't want show off much.r
Grand Envoy was extremely pleased with her new half disciple and a brilliant smile appeared on her face. r
Erian then took out some rewards.r
"An actual grade II nuclear weapon!"r
This time, even Martha's master was jealous as his eyes shine brilliantly at the sword in Erian's hands. r
Part of the things Erian exchanged for was the sword. This was the last card he was planning to use to persuade the academy to let him be and judging by the faces of the Envoys and Grand envoy, it worked. r
The sword was immediately retrieved by grand envoy and no one dared to say a word about it, even the regulation Envoys mouth was sealed but his face couldn't be anymore ugly. r
"My precious disciple, did you receive any Aspect in the trial for breaking the ten-thousand year record?" Grand Envoy's face was full of smiles to the point it was almost flirty as her green eyes squinted at Erian..r
Hearing this, Erian felt his heart beat rapidly. The other Envoys all wanted to know how much profit the academy could get and not him.r
As for Aspects, this was the most useful thing for Titans without bloodlines. Other items were, after all, items.r
After this question was asked, the other Envoys and students were all curious.r
This was especially so for the Grand Envoy , she knew only those of the Supernal Class were permitted to own Aspects. r
"None."r
Erian 's simple answer surprised everyone in the hall.r
None?r
From the First Envoy to the students , all of them had suspic None ious and surprised expressions.r
The person that came first in the trial, the one that had broken the ten-thousand year record hadn't received an Aspect?r
At this point in time, everyone looked lightly on towards Erian . At least in Martha's master and co.'s eyes, Erian could only be arrogant for a while, but his future was limited.r
Erian, who saw the entire scene, laughed coldly in his heart.r
This was the result he wanted.r
When one should be high-key, then go high-key. When one should lie low, then do so.r
He was catching too much attention for breaking the ten-thousand year record. This had caused many of his enemies to feel threatened.r
For Erian who was still growing, this wasn't a good thing.r
In the federation, there were many, many geniuses, but how many were left now The potential they possessed was far too high and many died to assassination.r
Even a prodigy with a 'Six star nuclear pulse' could be killed by any random person.r
If Martha's master and co. found out that he had received the best Aspect, the 'Lightning Aspect', they would definitely try and kill Erian before the latter fully matured.r
Therefore.r
Erian concealed the truth.r
A student with nuclear pulse talent and no Aspect had no threat. The students who were the same age as Erian , also felt superior to him.r
However, although the latter's words could trick the students, the Envoys weren't easily fooled.r
Both Ninth Envoy and Martha's Master's eyes twinkled.r
How could someone, who broke the ten-thousand year record, not receive an Aspect? This was just too suspicious or was there something else going on?r
"Erian , I remember that once one reaches a certain score, the trial will give a simple Aspect, sometimes even for free." Envoy seven asked with uncertainty.r
After all, there weren't many who reached that mark and this was all heard from others. Martha's master felt something was off but he didn't know what.r
"My score easily surpassed the requirements." Erian laughed.r
Hearing this, Prince Silva, Vorton Page, Bradon Prium and co.'s expression all changed. Was Erian just fooling with them just then?r
"Unfortunately, the Falling City Trial didn't have any suitable Aspects for me. My talent isn't suitable for the aspects remaining ." Erian said with regret.r
Erian, because of your superb performance in the trial as well as the contributions for the academy, I've decided to award you five-hundred thousand blood points and let you read any skill in the Archive as long as you can pay for it. Furthermore, the academy will also reward you for the items you gave."r
The Grand Envoy announced.r
Five-hundred thousand points!r
The others were all shocked.r
Even the high-level of the academy didn't seem to have this many points.r
Suddenly the regulation envoy cleared his throat and wanted to speak. r
Erian, realizing something wrong, quickly spoke. r
"This student here is willing to take the punishment for arrogance, selfishness not putting the laws in my eyes, and harming others for my benefit."r
Erian's black hair waved in the air and a smile full of mockery appeared on his face.r
Just as the Regulations Envoy was about to say something else, Grand Envoy intercepted: "Ok, the truth has come out and Erian has confessed to his wrongdoings."r
"But… "r
The Regulation Envoys face was green.r
"You've already said it yourself, Zhao Feng was arrogant and selfish, but he didn't have intentions of harming the other disciples. Furthermore, his words were not without reason." Grand Envoy said offhandly. r
Ninth Envoy and Martha's Master were both dazed and speechless. Erian himself had already confessed, what else could they do?r
From head to toe, he only had the title of 'selfish' and 'arrogant'. These weren't even sins, they were one's attitude. There were many people like this in the academy The only one that was problematic was harming others without care. r
"How about we take four hundred thousand contribution points off Erian's and give it to the students hurt for their losses?" Sixth envoy, granny neutral suggested.r
"That is a great idea, Four hundred thousand points is the allowance of an elder working twenty years– it's more than enough to compensate these disciples." The other elders nodded their head in agreement.r
"Four hundred thousand points is indeed a lot. There's also been previous examples of deducting contribution points in the past." The originally neutral Granny Liuyue said.r
"This… " The Regulations Envoy looked helplessly at Ninth Envoy and Martha's master.r
The three of them could do nothing.r
From the surface, it seemed that the academy had already tried its best to punish Erian. Four hundred thousand points was a large amount of points. If one questioned this punishment, it was the same as questioning the academy itself.r
However, for Erian, he would still have one hundred thousand points left. When contribution points reached such an amount, it didn't mean much anymore.r
He had also received the privilege of entering the Hollow Building anytime he wanted. He already had the best aspect of the Falling City Trial , the 'Lightning Aspect', which contained much secrets inside.r
He didn't need money, skills or treasures.r
Four hundred thousand points were nothing to Erian who had previously had more than that.r
"Erian , do you have any problems?" The Elders asked.r
"Student has no problems with this, but I think it would be better to give the points back to the academy , instead of giving them to these weak students." Erian casually suggested. r
Hearing this, Vorton and co. started cursing as they faces turned red with embarrassment. Even if they managed to receive the reward today, they would never forget the shame and they might even develop a fear of today.r
This was especially so for Prince Silva. He was a prodigy with great talent and luck and he had come second in the trial, which already gave him 59k kill points.r
The crushing of his dignity was his critical weakness.r
"Stop." Grand Envoy stared at Erian and she signalled for him to stop being so mischievous.r
The latter was already the biggest winner. Not only did he not get punished, he had also shamed the others students r
Erian smiled and returned to his Master's side. The Envoys then warned Erian repetitively and they announced the latter's punishment to the public.r
Finally… It was over.r
After the crowd faded away.r
"Come with me." Grand Envoy said to Erian .r
Soon.r
Erian arrived at the place where Grand Envoy lived. It was a quiet and calm room with no one around. Erian was slightly surprised - this was the private place of a Grand Envoy. Not many people were allowed to enter it.r
"Speak, what Aspect did you receive in the Falling City Trial?" Grand Envoy smiled revealed a beautiful smile as her emerald green eye looked towards Erian with a knowing smile.r
Erian paused - how did the Grand Envoy know!?
