I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Chapter 184: Assessment Begins

With these words spoken, Ye Kuang was directly stunned.

Not just him, everyone who heard this sentence looked at Su Zhan in disbelief. Even the two Holy Land elders were somewhat dumbfounded as they looked at him.

Fifty plants were already quite outrageous, yet this person actually said he planned to gather five hundred? Is he intentionally provoking Ye Kuang?

Seems likely!

However, this person doesn't appear to be a famous genius from the Tianxuan Empire, yet he speaks with such confidence against Ye Kuang. Perhaps he is a prodigy secretly cultivated by one of the other major forces beneath the Holy Land? It appears that this person is worth paying more attention to.

The two Holy Land elders speculated in their hearts.

The other disciples didn't have as many thoughts as the Holy Land elders. Upon hearing Su Zhan's words, they were momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter.

"Five hundred plants? Does he think he's weeding a garden?"

"To be honest, I don't even have confidence in gathering five plants. He's talking about five hundred, does that mean he can surpass us by a hundredfold?"

"Where did this guy crawl out from? He's saying such thoughtless things without even using his brain?"

Disdainful gazes converged on Su Zhan.

Chu Xuanyi stood beside Su Zhan and yawned with boredom.

A bunch of fools. Who needs a bunch of dogshit divine prodigies in front of Daoist Su?

Five hundred plants, while somewhat exaggerated, should be a piece of cake for Daoist Su's abilities, even if he gathers one or two hundred.

Ye Kuang burst into laughter as well. "Did you hear that? You didn't need me to speak up, yet someone is already accusing you. Five hundred plants, why not say five thousand? Since it's all just bragging, might as well go big!"

"You asked me a question, and I answered truthfully. Now you don't believe me?" Su Zhan's brow slightly furrowed. "Were you the one with a malfunctioning brain just now? If you don't believe me, why did you ask in the first place?"

"You!"

Ye Kuang's anger flared up, but then he thought of something and a sneer appeared on his face, "I heard that even though you've checked into the Spirit Rain Pavilion, you've had very few visitors these days, right?"

"Ah, I truly envy the peace and quiet you have! Unlike me, I'm visited by geniuses from all over the place, and the most beautiful girls as well. My doorstep is almost worn out!"

Though Ye Kuang seemed helpless, his words were dripping with sarcasm, infuriating those who heard them.

Even Chu Xuanyi was becoming annoyed on Su Zhan's behalf.

However, Su Zhan appeared somewhat surprised, "Why would a person have so many people coming to visit them every day? Are you a spiritual monkey from a zoo?"

"I've heard that many people, out of sympathy, pity, or just for fun, enjoy going to see a spiritual monkey every day, throwing it some things to eat. Then the monkey becomes smug and happy, putting on a performance, I see, is that what you are doing"

"Shut up!" Ye Kuang's anger flared up, and he pointed furiously at Su Zhan.

"No fighting is allowed in this place!" Elder Xiao Lin's expression grew stern. With a wave of his hand, a sacred aura descended, suppressing the momentum Ye Kuang had just released.

"Divine prodigy or from the Ye family, Ye Kuang, we've been quite lenient with you. We hope you remember that you are currently within the realm of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land!" His words were icy.

Feeling the anger in those words, Ye Kuang's temper also cooled down slightly. He could be arrogant, but if he truly violated the rules of the Holy Land, he might face punishment.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Kuang coldly said to Su Zhan, "Jumping clown, two days from now, I want to see just how many Five-Light Grass you can actually obtain!"

"Don't worry, exceeding ten times more than you won't be a problem."

"You!" Ye Kuang glared at Su Zhan, his fists clenched.

Seeing his frustrated expression, Su Zhan smiled and didn't take it to heart.

His claim of gathering five hundred Five-Light Grass was merely because he thought it would earn him more points. The value of these points was obviousthere would definitely be various treasures, elixirs, and such to be exchanged for them. Otherwise, the Holy Land wouldn't have established this system.

Five hundred plants If it were a thousand, or even five thousand, that would be even better. Su Zhan thought silently.

Before long, the badge with his number on it was handed to him. Number 127, with his name beneath: Su Zhan.

He infused his essence into the badge, and a screen of light appeared.

On the screen were various details about the assessment this time. His gaze swept over the information on the screen.

Su Zhan also understood why twenty-six Five-Light Grass were enough to secure the top ranking for so many years. Five-Light Grass had a unique traitit would automatically absorb a trace of the picker's aura.

In other words, once the Five-Light Grass was plucked, it bore a distinct mark that others couldn't seize. Even if someone tried to sell it to others, it couldn't be done. Otherwise, there would be two conflicting auras, which couldn't be verified through the record-keeping treasures.

It was precisely due to this that obtaining Five-Light Grass was so difficult.

Otherwise, even if Mount Mangdang were vast and the Five-Light Grass were well-hidden, with numerous guarding spirit beasts, among so many cultivators, there would always be quite a few who could acquire them. Stronger individuals could simply seize them through their strength, without the need to search for them.

After a while, the deacons were preparing to lead the participants to the twelve entrances opened at the edge of Mount Mangdang for the assessment.

However, Elder Yue He, one of the two Holy Land elders, remembered something and spoke up, "Wait, there's one more special thing we need to tell you. At the periphery of Mount Mangdang, you might encounter a gigantic bull, as massive as a mountain peak. Remember, no matter how many Five-Light Grass you find there, you must show proper respect and courtesy, and then leave!"

Elder Xiaolin chuckled, "Of course, if you are capable of obtaining it, that's also acceptable. We don't object."

"Well, yes. If you think you have the ability to pluck it, it's best to take them all. That way, Elder Tang will surely be enraged cough, I shouldn't have said that. Anyway, you may proceed." Yue He was initially smiling as he spoke, but when a certain name was mentioned, he seemed to hesitate and immediately closed his mouth.

Afterward, under the guidance of the Holy Land deacons, Su Zhan and the others entered Mount Mangdang one by one.

Upon entering the Mount Mangdang region, Su Zhan deactivated all his Halos except for the Fortunes Halo.

Although this wasn't a secret realm and didn't provide significant enhancements, it should still be somewhat useful, right? With this in mind, he randomly chose a direction and proceeded at a moderate pace.

Half a day later, standing beneath a hundred-meter-high ridge, he looked at the faintly glowing Five-Light Grass hidden amidst a pile of weeds above. Su Zhan's lips twitched slightly.

Half a day had passed, and this was still the first Five-Light Grass he had found.

Seriously, did the Fortunes Halo backfire or something?? Otherwise, considering my luck in the past, I shouldn't be having such a tough time, right?

Feeling a bit frustrated, Su Zhan scanned the ground with his foot and headed towards the ridge.

When he reached the top of the ridge, his gaze instinctively turned forward, and he was immediately stunned.

Ahead, on the other side of a large river, deep within a forest of gigantic trees that were nearly a hundred meters tall, there was a small mountain peak, about fifty or sixty meters high.

But that wasn't the main point.

The main point was that the small mountain peak was shimmering with colorful lightsit was covered with Five-Light Grass! An entire mountain covered in Five-Light Grass!
