Gong Sun Jie’s storage ring contained sixty demonic hearts. Among them, fifty were what he obtained before entering. Shen Xiang handed these demonic hearts to Su Meiyao and Bai Yoyou, letting them slightly modify some of the demonic hearts within the shortest time possible. This way, Wang Quan and others wouldn’t be able to recognize them.

Despite Gong Sun Jie’s long stay inside, he only managed to acquire ten demonic hearts. This secretly made Shen Xiang despise him.

As expected, when Gong Sun Jie’s four students entered, the God Martial Hall had already distributed fifty demonic hearts to each of them. This ensured their entry into the final round.

Of course, both God Martial Hall and Wang Quan underestimated Shen Xiang’s true strength. They didn’t anticipate that Gong Sun Jie and Wanxuan would be so reckless, fighting desperately inside.

Shen Xiang killed two of Wang Quan’s students inside, gaining a total of 165 demonic hearts. This number was astonishing, and if he had brought it out after leaving, it would have definitely raised suspicion among the God Martial Hall. Therefore, he didn’t plan to reveal his shares from Gong Sun Jie and Wanxuan.

Using the illusion array, he killed several evil demons and minor evil demons. Through energy clusters from these minor evil demons, he trained an additional dozen demonic hearts, totaling 32. Later, he killed the Poison Scorpion King and twenty of its subordinates, gaining an additional 21. Finally, by slaying the Wild Pig Man, he obtained a single demonic heart, totaling 54—these were all acquired by him.

He divided the demonic hearts into three parts. One part was his own acquisition, while the other two came from Gong Sun Jie and Wanxuan. He believed that presenting fifty-four demonic hearts should be enough to pass this stage.

Still, he was somewhat worried. He feared that other people could also get lucky and obtain many demonic cores, potentially causing him to be eliminated. If he displayed all 165 at once, it would again raise suspicion among the God Martial Hall.

Shen Xiang, accompanied by Wuluo, walked irritably along the road. He really wished to find those who entered and inquire how many they had acquired.

The competition was nearing its end, so Shen Xiang led Wuluo away from the Black Forest Valley into a dim forest.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed and Shen Xiang, lost in thought, quickly reacted. Reaching out his hand, he grabbed a delicate but powerful jade hand.

“Lanran!” Shen Xiang caught the small, pinkish fist, somewhat surprised; it was aimed at his wolf slave.

The wolf slave jumped in fright and hurriedly hid behind Shen Xiang, as a small girl suddenly appeared, powerful, and armed with wings. If Shen Xiang had been even half a moment slower, the wolf slave’s head would have been crushed by that tiny jade fist.

“Hmph, bad boy, what are you up to This is an evil demon!” Lanran pouted, glaring fiercely at the wolf slave as if it were her prey. This scared the wolf slave to death.

Since witnessing Shen Xiang’s strength, the wolf slave was very fearful of humans. The fight between Shen Xiang and Gong Sun Jie still lingered in his mind.

Seeing this adorable beautiful blue-dressed girl suddenly appear, Shen Xiang secretly rejoiced. He had always wanted to find someone participating and ask how many demonic hearts they acquired, but unexpectedly, Lanran herself came forward.

“Hehe, he is now my slave!” Shen Xiang smiled. “Please do me a favor and release him!”

Lanran stuck out her tongue. Seeing the wolf slave obediently following Shen Xiang, she believed him. She wasn’t foolish; she knew that having an evil demon as a slave was good for Shen Xiang, something she couldn’t even hope to obtain.

“I’ll be leaving soon. How many demonic hearts did you acquire” Shen Xiang smiled and asked.

“I didn’t get many. Evil demons are scarce, and they’re well hidden. I can’t find them! Tell me how many you obtained,” Lanran noticed that Shen Xiang had an evil demon slave and guessed that he must have gotten many.

Shen Xiang laughed, “Fifty-three. How about you”

Lanran exclaimed, “What Fifty-three Your dirty bad boy! How did you get it I only have twenty-eight!”

Lanran pouted, her adorable face filled with worry. She was concerned about possibly getting eliminated in this round as she saw someone like Shen Xiang, who managed fifty-plus demonic hearts. This made her feel uncertain about the outcome.

Shen Xiang rubbed his nose and smiled, “I set up a huge array at a place where evil demons often frequent. Then I placed something they like to eat and waited there. Hehe, you’ll understand the rest.”

Lanran stomped her little feet in envy, “Hmph! Such sleazy means… I had such ideas too. But I don’t know how to set up arrays or where evil demons usually appear, nor how to lure them.”

Shen Xiang laughed. This elf-like girl indeed thought very logically, but she couldn’t do any of those things herself.

“Now you know I’m powerful, don’t you Wondering about the other participants,” Shen Xiang still worried that he might be eliminated. He was only here for the Fortune Fruit, having already reached this far. If he were still eliminated, it would make him regretful for a long time.

Lanran saw concern on the face of this guy who managed over fifty demonic hearts, making her feel even more melancholy. With only twenty-eight herself, she wished to pinch Shen Xiang fiercely. Getting many and still worrying made her feel even more uncomfortable.

“Bad boy, I’m screwed now. As the Number One Female Power of my Blue Blood Clan, getting eliminated here would be very embarrassing!” Lanran squatted onto the ground and drew circles on the floor, feeling very depressed.

“Number One Female Power” Shen Xiang’s eye twitched.

“First Young Female Power, but I’ll definitely become the Number One Female Power of my Blue Blood Clan later,” Lanran immediately replied after seeing Shen Xiang’s doubt.

Suddenly, Shen Xiang felt that this little woman wasn’t bad despite appearing rather straightforward and acting briskly. She was more principled, brave enough to oppose the God Martial Hall, had once reminded him about Gold Lion Eagle, and even helped testify for him.

“Little girl, let me tell you something. If you promise not to leak it out, I can give you a great chance of passing this round,” Shen Xiang’s mysterious smile revealed.

“I promise you! Don’t I look like a woman who talks too much” Despite her confusion, Lanran still chose to trust Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang slapped Wuluo unconscious and then extracted some of his memories to prevent him from revealing anything.

After setting up a soundproof barrier, Shen Xiang said seriously, “I’ll tell you the truth. I have over a hundred demonic hearts in my possession. I can give some to you, increasing your count. After you pass through and we meet secretly in a place to return the demonic hearts.”

“Wha… What Over a hundred!” Lanran rubbed her small ears, doubting if she had misunderstood.aid, "Don’t worry about it. You don’t need to aim for first place in your competition as you’re not able to compete for the top yet. All you need to do is show your strength, and I’m sure Lady Princes...
