The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Chapter 237 The New Point System

His nonchalant demeanor belied the gravity of his words, causing a ripple of unease among those present. Vance clenched his fist in anger, his gaze fixed on the handsome face mocking him. He wanted nothing more than to wipe that smugness off Karsha's face.

However, before Vance could respond, the main gate of the Golden Mansion opened. Out stepped five heavenly beauties, their elegance and grace captivating everyone's attention. Following them were four sect elders, their presence commanding respect and silence.

The atmosphere shifted instantly. The tension between Karsha and Vance was momentarily forgotten as all eyes turned towards the newcomers. The five women, each radiating an aura of power and mystery, walked with a confidence that spoke volumes about their status and abilities.

The sect elders, with their long flowing robes and solemn expressions, exuded wisdom and authority.

They moved with grace and purpose, their eyes scanning the crowd before settling on Karsha and Vance. Elder Chen wanted to laugh but he didn't. He is an Elder after all.

"Your petty dispute can wait for now. The Sect Master has an announcement to make before we move out" Elder Chen said making everyone's attention shift to the Beautiful Sect Leader.

Yi Ran's gaze swept across the hundreds of disciples. She didn't show any sign of friendliness or hate, but when her gaze landed on Karsha, various forms of emotions appeared in her eyes for a moment.

She and the other four heavenly beauties are all wearing Veils, but that isn't even enough to block their beauty.

The Male disciples are almost drooling while the females have a ting of envy and Jealousy in their eyes. I mean, who wouldn't envy such gorgeous bodies, especially Li Jing's? Xian could only smile seeing her sister and mother looking happy. That was all he wanted for them.

"Like Elder Chen said, this is not the time to fight among yourself. You are all disciples of the same sect, so instead of fighting among yourself, support each other rather" Yi Ran's angelic voice reverberates throughout the surroundings calming everybody down.

Although they all wanted to see Vance crush Karsha under his feet, hearing such a sweet voice made them calm down, even Vance. However, Karsha almost burst out laughing when he heard her.

Unlike the rest, Karsha could tell the sarcasm in her voice. What many don't know is, that 800 years ago, Yi Ran Killed the then patriarch of the Varon Great Family in order to save the Sect, and because of this, the Varon family sent many experts to kill her but they never returned home.

This matter shocks the entire Great Family, making them bury this failure from the future generation.

Vance doesn't know Yi Ran would like nothing more than to see him crash under Karsha's foot. After all, she is Karsha's woman.

"This year's Blood Expedition rules have been slightly altered," Yi Ran announced, capturing everyone's attention.

"In previous years, only Inner Disciples were permitted to participate, but recent issues have prompted an update to this year's Expedition rules."

He paused, letting the crowd digest the information.

"This year, instead of wearing the Sect bracelet to calculate collective kills, each participant will have an individual bracelet to tally their personal kills. The number of kills will be updated in real-time, allowing everyone inside the Blood Forest and outside to track the progress."

Murmurs spread through the crowd, excitement mingling with anxiety.

Yi Ran continued, "The person who achieves the highest points will receive a precious reward from the Kingdom. But that is only one of the benefits. Aside from the bracelets, this year's sect competition will be determined by the number of points you accumulate. Those with the highest points will represent their respective sects in the competition. The point threshold for such a selection is set at 20,000,000."

A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the assembly. Whispers and exclamations echoed as disciples processed the significance of the new rules. 20,000,000 points is just too much for them, even the Core disciples.

Vance's earlier anger was momentarily forgotten, replaced by a focused determination. He glanced at Karsha, who remained calm and collected, though his eyes gleamed with a newfound challenge.

Yi Ran cast a sidelong glance at Karsha and smiled inwardly. "This means if a Core disciple doesn't meet the threshold, they won't participate in the Sect Competition." His confirmation sent a ripple of unease through the crowd, leaving many disciples pale.

"Sect Leader, how will the points be awarded?" A core disciple asked, her face grave. The new point system was daunting, even for someone of her standing.

Despite being a core disciple, she was acutely aware of the gap between human cultivators and the formidable monsters they faced, especially the Mutants.

Yi Ran nodded, addressing the question. "The Blood Forest contains Tier 5 monsters and upwards. For this year's expedition point system, killing a Tier 5 monster will give 10 points, Tier 6 will earn 100 points, Tier 7 will yield 1,000 points, Tier 8 will provide 100,000 points, and Tier 9 will be worth 1,000,000 points."

"However, killing a mutant will grant additional points. A lesser mutant will give twice the points of a normal monster. A Great Mutant will give five times the points, a Dark Mutant ten times, a Terror Mutant one hundred times, and if you manage to kill a Calamity Mutant, it will be one thousand times the points for killing a normal monster."

The disciples were stunned. The new system not only required immense strength and skill but also pushed them to take greater risks than ever before.

Karsha felt a surge of determination. This was the ultimate test of their abilities and a chance to prove themselves to everyone. Of course, Karsha wasn't scared of a challenge, on the contrary, he aims to show the entire Kingdom who the true Alpha is.

'This is going to be fun' Karsha said inwardly. While others were panicking, he couldn't wait to enter such a place and unleash his carnage on them.

"Of course, since you are all part of the sect, you can form teams and hunt together. According to the instructions, points can be transferred, so if you hunt together, you can share the points and help each other in the process," Yi Ran added, prompting the disciples to glance at each other warily.

While the idea of teamwork was appealing, it also meant that points could be stolen. This dynamic risked turning inner disciples and even some core disciples into prey for the stronger participants. With the points required for participation set at 20,000,000 and only two weeks to accumulate them, the challenge was daunting.

"That will be all for now. Use this time to get familiar with each other and form your teams. Once you enter, you can regroup and hunt together.

Remember, the rewards for the first three places will be substantial. Additionally, the sect will reward those who manage to reach the threshold. Participating in the Sect Competition also comes with its own benefits.

We will be leaving in the next hour, so get your affairs in order."

The disciples dispersed, the weight of Yi Ran's words hanging heavy in the air. Karsha and Xian left and went back to Karsha's living area.

"I hope you are ready for this expedition," Karsha asked. Xian nodded, determination evident in his eyes.

"Good," Karsha advised, "use this time to fulfill most of the requirements that will allow your Avatar to upgrade to Mystical grade."

Nedin and Thundercoils' avatars can also upgrade and become mystical-grade avatars. Karsha has already made plans to complete most of the requirements during this expedition.

Although he hasn't fought a Tier 8 monster before, with his Lesser Core now saturated, he is confident he will be able to fight a Tier 8 monster or escape from one.

He needs 10,000 of those. While he wants Nedin to hunt for her own food, Karsha knows there are some things she can't do. So, he plans on going after Tier 8 monsters. This will also allow him to earn some points in the process.

"Your requirements are not that hard," Karsha continued, "with the two Avatars I gave you, use them to subdue some monsters and form a temporary contract with them.

Then use them to hunt for more monsters. You need only 100,000 Tier 7 Monster Bodies and Cores to make it a Mystical Avatar. Once you fulfill that, feed him these fruits, it's the last requirement." Karsha handed Xian three lightning fruits.

Unlike Xian, his requirements are higher. He only has 2 out of 100 Ice Fruits. He also needs the heart of a Tier 9 mutant and 10,000 Tier 8 monster cores. As for the last requirement, he doesn't even know where to start. It will take some time to fulfill all the requirements.

"Big Brother, if I see a monster I want, can I subdue it and form a contract with it?" Xian asked eagerly. "The soul techniques you gave me and the innate talents I've awakened can now allow me to determine the potential of a monster. So if I find one, can I form contracts with them?"

Karsha pondered for a while, then nodded. "Yes, you can," he replied.

According to Xian, he can form contracts with monsters like most tamers, but he will have to gain some trust from them. This trust can be established by demonstrating strength.

Monsters determine who rules based on strength, so he will have to show some power. But with the soul techniques and two Terror monsters by his side, he can easily subdue Tier 7 and even Tier 8 monsters.

"Since you can only form contracts with 10 Tier 8 or 30 Tier 7 monsters at the moment," Karsha advised, "look for the ones with great potential. But don't worry about looking too deep. You can always look for more as you grow stronger."

With that, Karsha retrieved his Rune Knife and started drawing some intricate runes in the air.
