《I Am Overlord》Chapter 480: Purpose of Contributions
Advertisement
"Nicely done, Xiang Shaoyun. We'll meet again at the Dragon Phoenix Academy," a long-haired handsome young man came over and said in a friendly manner before leaving as well. Xiang Shaoyun did not know who the young man was. He only knew that he was one of the geniuses in Yu Ziyi's group.
"He's Huang Binshao, an imperial prince from an imperial dynasty of the Central Region. He is only 26 years old this year, an expert that had not displayed his full strength during this trip," introduced Tang Longfei.
"Someone from a Central Region's powerful imperial dynasty?" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in astonishment. An amused look then surfaced on his face as he said, "Interesting."
"Looks like that fellow has also obtained the qualification to enter the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Brother Yun, join the entrance test with me. You can not miss this chance to enter the academy, or you will have to wait 100 years for the next test," said Tang Longfei.
"Sure, but when will the test be held? I am planning to stay at the Devil Domain and Bloodsin City for a tad bit longer," said Xiang Shaoyun.
The Devil Domain was filled with resources he could use to cultivate. Furthermore, Du Xuanhao was also tempering himself somewhere here. On top of that, Devouring Ghost was probably going to end his seclusion soon. Xiang Shaoyun did not wish to leave anytime soon.
Tang Longfei could see that Xiang Shaoyun was intending to cultivate in the Devil Domain. He said, "The Devil Domain is a decent place to cultivate, but this place is filled with devilish energy. It is great if one only comes here occasionally, but staying here for an extended period of time will not be beneficial for any human. As for those ancient academies, they have numerous mysterious spaces and domains you can cultivate at. They can also supply you with numerous high-tier battle techniques and ancient techniques. Those are what we actually need to grow stronger. I will head out after half a year. Do not miss this opportunity no matter what, ok?"

"Only half a year?" Xiang Shaoyun muttered. But he suddenly recalled his goal to retake what was his in 10 years. Perhaps joining an ancient academy would be the fastest way in which he could grow. A resolute look appeared on his face as he said, "Ok! I will go with you, Brother Tang!"
"Good. But before that, you need to first obtain the qualification to take the test," said Tang Longfei.
"How do I get one?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.
"Generally speaking, most of the slots are taken up by those powerful organizations. Only a small number of slots will be given to the geniuses without any backer. For those in the Bloodsin City, one can obtain the qualification through contribution points. Since you are a Skysoar Realm cultivator, you will need 10 million contribution points to get it," explained Tang Longfei.
"Ten million contribution points?" Xiang Shaoyun was astonished.
Although he had entered the Devil Domain with a contribution plate, he had never checked how much contribution points he had earned so far. But he knew that a King would need a very long time to accumulate 10 million contribution points.
"Yes. After becoming a King, I have spent five years to get 10 million contribution points. Brother Yun, although it will be hard, I believe you can do it with your strength," Tang Longfei first lamented his own experience before expressing his confidence in Xiang Shaoyun.
After all, Xiang Shaoyun had displayed enough strength to make him a Super War Emperor. With his strength, it was possible to get 10 million contribution points in half a year. But of course, he had to spend all his time killing powerful devils such as Devil Kings or even Devil Emperors. That was the only way he could get that many contribution points in time.
It would be a very harsh experience. In truth, Tang Longfei did not have much confidence Xiang Shaoyun could do it, but he sincerely wished that Xiang Shaoyun would still give it a try. Xiang Shaoyun took his contribution plate out. On the plate, "225,000" was written.

"Huh? I already have this many contribution points?" Xiang Shaoyun was astonished.
Tang Longfei took a look and was astonished. "Brother Yun, have you been here before?"
Xiang Shaoyun shook his head. "No. This is my first time here."
"So many contribution points in one trip? Even if you have killed a lot of Devil Kings, you should have only gotten no more than 100,000 points. How did you get over 200,000 points? Unless...have you killed a Devil Emperor? One first-stage Devil Emperor is equivalent to 20,000 points. One second-stage Devil Emperor is equivalent to 40,000 points...and even killing a third-stage Devil Emperor will only grant you 60,000 points! How have you gotten so many contribution points? Have you killed more than one Devil Emperor?" Tang Longfei was completely confused.
Xiang Shaoyun sank into thought before saying, "This probably has something to do with the devil wind beast emperor I had killed."
Prior to this, he had used the Imperial Nether Prison in a moment of desperation to save Yu Caidie and Yu Ziyi. The devil wind beast patriarch was trapped in his Imperial Nether Prison, and he had only been able to kill the devil wind beast patriarch with great difficulty after using both the Imperial Nether Prison and his ghostrunes.
Although Xiang Shaoyun's Imperial Nether Prison was equivalent in power to a late-stage Emperor, the devil wind beast patriarch was a fifth-stage Devil Emperor. When it was madly charging around in the Imperial Nether Prison, his heart was filled with fear. The process of killing the patriarch had been extremely scary and dangerous. Nonetheless, the patriarch had still died in the Imperial Nether Prison. Naturally, he was rewarded with the equivalent contribution points for killing the patriarch.
"Nicely done, kid. Looks like getting enough contribution points in half a year won't be difficult for you at all," said Tang Longfei with a wide smile on his face.
He had initially thought that with Xiang Shaoyun's strength as a Super War Emperor, he would probably need around one year to get enough contribution points. But now, half a year seemed quite possible after all.
While Xiang Shaoyun and Tang Longfei conversed happily, everyone left one after another. Only Huo Xudong and Shou Xie stayed behind. Huo Xudong was hoping he could establish a better relationship with Xiang Shaoyun. For some reason, he could sense that Xiang Shaoyun had drifted apart from him. He had an odd feeling about this, but he did not wish to give up on the possibility of learning Xiang Shaoyun's secret. As for Shou Xie, he was only staying behind for the devil taming technique. He believed that Xiang Shaoyun definitely had one, and he hoped to get it from Xiang Shaoyun.
When Tang Longfei noticed the two waiting for Xiang Shaoyun, he decided he shouldn't waste more time. He said, "Brother Yun, you don't have much time left so I won't be wasting more of your time. I will return to the fort and consolidate my cultivation base for a bit. I will be aiming to push my draconic aura to 90 percent completion. Otherwise, I won't be able to even become a regular disciple of the academy. You need to take this chance to work hard as well. It's better if you can advance a few more stages. Only then will you have a higher chance of becoming a core disciple."
"Sure. Go, Brother Tang. Be careful on your way back," said Xiang Shaoyun.
Tang Longfei then gave Xiang Shaoyun an item that he would have on him at all times. He told Xiang Shaoyun to look for him at the city hall with this item when he returned to the city. He then left.
Only now did Xiang Shaoyun look at Huo Xudong and Shou Xie. "I am going to enter the third layer of the Devil Domain. Are you coming?"
