''NO!!'' A woman's scream was heard as Yi Zeming landed on the ground in the midst of their fight, while he was clutching tightly his left ribcage as he then screamed in pain.

Lei Xiang rushed to his side, and the fight suddenly halted while everyone's eyes turned towards Shun Long.

Yong Ru looked at him too as he laughed loudly drawing everyone's attention as he walked by his side.

''Haha as expected of brother Shun!''

Shun Long smiled at him as he asked

''Are you okay?''

''Just a few cuts here and there but I'm okay! I haven't been able to fight like this before in my life.''

''I will make you pay for this!'' Lei Xiang's voice was suddenly heard as she looked at Shun Long with eyes full of hatred

Shun Long however, looked at her disdainfully as he said

''Hand over your 'sect identifying jades' quickly.''

''WHAT?'' Lei Xiang's voice was incredulous as she couldn't believe what she had heard. This guy wanted to rob them instead?

Yong Ru looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot and asked

''Didn't you want to rob us first? Of course, you will lose your 'sect identifying jades' now. What do you have to complain about anyway? Isn't this a survival test in the first place?''

''Do you know who I am?'' Lei Xiang completely ignored Yong Ru's 'logical words' as she looked at Shun Long and spoke in a threatening tone

Shun Long's look in his eyes chilled, when all of a sudden Yi Zeming struggled to stand up before he threw his sect jade over.

''Brother Yi!'' Lei Xiang looked at Yi Zeming who in return simply shook his head at her.

Shun Long grabbed his sect jade and took his survival points that had already reached a staggering number of 43.

Lei Xiang gritted her teeth as she also threw her sect jade at Shun Long.

After Shun Long took Yi Zeming's, Lei Xiang's, as well as the rest of all their survival points, he now had close to 120 of them.

Yong Ru was laughing in schadenfreude as he looked at Lei Xiang whose eyes looked as they were about to spit fire after having lost all of her survival points and said in a mocking tone

...''You are Lei Xiang right? Are you going to cry to your elder brother after you return to the 'floating cloud sect'? It's simply bad luck that you tried to rob me and brother Shun though.''

''YOU...'' Lei Xiang was extremely angry but she didn't know what to say as she watched Shun Long and Yong Ru leisurely heading deeper towards the inner region. After taking a deep breath she asked Yi Zeming

''Brother Yi what happened back then?''

Yi Zeming lowered his head as he whispered

''Xiang'er that guy is a monster! He is a body refining cultivator!''

''What? You mean that he is the same as Da Chong from the 'Iron-hardened sect'?''

''He is the same type of cultivator as Da Chong but he is definitely weaker than him in terms of strength. Da Chong beats people with his immense physical strength, while this kid used his speed to beat me. I'm not sure if he is a match for Da Chong at all, but he is definitely more than what we can handle now.'' Yi Zeming shook his head as he answered

''Hmph, since he is a member of my 'floating cloud sect' I will definitely have my brother teach him a lesson when we return.'' Lei Xiang frowned and her pretty face was filled with displeasure as she thought of this guy who stole all of her survival points.

Meanwhile Shun Long and Yong Ru were walking deeper inside as Yong Ru said

''Brother Shun, I have 3 important things to tell you''

Shun Long then looked at Yong Ru who continued speaking

''The first thing is this girl named Lei Xiang. Although she by herself isn't anything to worry about, I need to warn you about her elder brother. You have certainly heard about him since you are an outer disciple of the 'floating cloud sect', her elder brother is Lei Pong. Brother Shun, I'm saying this so you can be prepared when you return back in your sect, as this person may personally find trouble with you for messing with his sister. Although we didn't do anything that went against any sect rules, petty-minded people like Lei Xiang will definitely look to get back at us in the future.''

Shun Long heard this and laughed coldly inside. If he managed to get first place in this sect examination and get the 'Blood Vermilion fruit' then he would probably be a match for Lei Pong by himself then.

As Yong Ru looked at Shun Long who seemed to be slightly smiling, he continued

''I'm certain that with your strength, brother Shun, you will definitely try to enter the top 3 in the overall sect rankings for this examination right? In that case there are 2 things that you need to pay attention to.

The survival points that you have gathered up to now, are not even enough to enter the top 100. I don't know exactly how many points you will need to enter the top 3, but it will definitely be at least 5.000 of them.

And also, since you aim to get in the top 3 rankings there are three people that you need to pay close attention to in this sect examination. These people are all at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade, but it is rumored that their strength is even a match for some early rank 4 earth grade experts.''

Shun Long's eyes shone as he was intrigued by this. Seeing that he had captured his attention, Yong Ru said

''One of these 3 people, is my senior sister from the 'Roaring wind pavilion' and I'm sure that you have heard of her before, her name is Jiao Mingxia.''
