"Big Brother, don't be like this! It's only a little thing and you're already like this. If you had seen something spectacular, you wouldn't have tried to commit suicide! " Xiao Tian glanced at Tian Cheng with disdain. The beautiful scenery it had seen while living in the Magical Beast Forest was naturally countless times more beautiful than what Tian Cheng had seen before, and also countless times more.
"What do you know? This is my state of mind. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is just a dead object. What I do now is to fuse it with my heart and let it live!" Sigh! What do you think I should do, talk to a Magical Beast like you about such profound truths? "
"Brother, what is the meaning of this? Are you saying that I'm stupid, that my intelligence is inferior to yours? Let me tell you, I am a Heavenly Favor Magical Beast. Not only do I possess numerous special abilities, my intelligence is also much higher than ordinary humans. If you say it again, I will definitely understand it! " Xiao Tian was unwilling to do so and started to counterattack. Although it had already lived for who knows how many years, after each rebirth, not only would its strength need to grow again, its intelligence would also be the same. However, its intelligence was still not something that normal Magical Beast could compare to.
Responding to its need, Tian Cheng once again asked a few questions about philosophy with high intelligence. The results were predictable, as he was clueless about his own questions, Xiao Tian almost spat out the fire in his mouth! We Heavenly Favor Magical Beast have never lost beasts like this before, has my intelligence really dropped to this extent?
Just as Xiao Tian was feeling upset, a group of Lion Egret flew past him from tens of thousands of metres away, allowing him to see everything clearly.
"Big brother, I heard that you like robbing. Furthermore, you have made an outstanding contribution in this aspect. Should we rob him? In any case, no one will know when they're high in the sky. With my abilities, I will definitely not let any one of them escape! " If he was angry, he needed to find a place to vent his anger, and killing people was like killing chickens to Xiao Tian, he didn't have any burdens in his heart.
His heart thumped, Tian Cheng almost fell down. What do you mean by like robbing, what do you mean by contributing? Oh right, it must have been Xiao Jin, that little bastard! Crap, I say, why did this guy suggest to freely enter and leave every corner of Ring Space? I didn't expect to be the one giving a speech to them. Now, my heroic image as a boss has been completely ruined!
With a bitter laugh, Tian Cheng looked over at the backs of these ten odd egrets. There were three or four men and women riding on their backs, and Tian Cheng could tell that, other than the few of them, their strengths were all extraordinary. Looking closer, Tian Cheng saw a few familiar faces.
"Eh? Isn't that Chief Sean and Catherine from Smith's auction? Why are they here? " Thinking about it, Tian Cheng guessed a few possibilities. He then sent a sound transmission to Xiao Tian, "Let's go! I know these people. Also, I must emphasize that your big brother is only targeting the bad guys for robbery, and not just anyone! "
With a fierce flap of its wings, in less than an incense worth of time, Tian Cheng appeared outside the periphery of a large, bustling city. After keeping Xiao Tian in a concealed location in the ring, Tian Cheng took out the horse and walked in.
After hearing the news, it did not take Tian Cheng long to arrive at a place called 'Merit Hall'. This was a place specially set up by the Empire to exchange merit points. There were 66 provinces, and each province had one or more. The meritorious services bestowed by the Empire were divided into four levels, three levels, two levels, one level, and two levels. Each meritorious service corresponded to a mission, and these missions were targeted at all the citizens of the Southern Wind Empire.
The number of merit points a person had was a very important factor in determining the rank of a noble. Some people could only gather merit points to become an official, and this was also one of the reasons why commoners would become aristocrats. However, the chances of it happening were very small, from a small province to a population of several tens of millions.
Ten of them would be promoted to a baron with a reward of one hundred thousand gold coins; five of them would be promoted to a viscount with a reward of five hundred thousand gold coins; one of them would be promoted to a Count with a reward of one million gold coins; and one of them would be promoted to a marquis with a reward of five million gold coins! As for promotion to a higher rank, that depended on one's performance. Once one reached this position, they would become a pillar of the country. With just their achievements, it would take decades of scrutiny to accomplish that.
The Hall of Contributions had a lot of people coming and going, and most of them were nobles. Only they could cultivate high-level talents, and those with strength could do it for themselves. This was also the reason why the rich became richer and the poor became poorer and poorer. The aristocrats lived their entire lives as nobles and the majority of the poor lived their lives as poor.
Tian Cheng was dressed in normal clothes, so the moment he walked in, he attracted a lot of attention. These nobles who wore gold and jade were all standing high up in the sky, proud and arrogant.
With a calm smile, Tian Cheng did not pay attention to their gazes and went straight to the main hall. However, after he looked around, he only saw that there were no Level 2 nor Level 1 people who were willing to exchange for Level 3 contribution points. Just as he was about to inquire about it, a young man around the age of seventeen or eighteen walked in front of him, pointed his finger at him and looked at him for a long time, while Tian Cheng seemed to be familiar with him, though who knew where he had seen him before!
After pointing at Tian Cheng with an extremely rude expression and action for a while, the youth seemed to have suddenly come to a realization. Disregarding the many people in the hall, he shouted loudly, "I remember you, I remember you!"
Then, as if he was afraid that others would hear, he said in a low voice: "You are the one who not only didn't sympathise when he saw me being attacked by the academy during the St. Bist Royal Academy examination, but also laughed at me, making me vomit blood. Great! God has eyes, I've let me meet you here! "
Tian Cheng suddenly realized that there was indeed such a person. His smile back then was not intentional, he did not expect him to remember it.
Tian Cheng had just reacted when he raised his voice again and laughed loudly: "Haha! I didn't expect that you would also be kicked out from the St. Bist Royal Academy, that's right! I say, why would the academy accept a person like you, who isn't even a descendant from a noble clan and is average in strength, as a student? Boy, didn't you know how to laugh? If you have the ability, then why are you still laughing! However, I have to thank you for that smile back then, which allowed me to break through the bottleneck and advance into the Element Master.
The youth's words were spoken very loudly, afraid that others would not hear them. With his age and strength, in such a place like this, he was indeed worthy of being proud of. Of course, his most important goal was to take this opportunity to humiliate Tian Cheng. In front of all the nobles, the person who appeared here despite not being a noble was someone they had a lot of face!
His words instantly aroused many people's discussion. These people were from the aristocratic community, so they naturally knew what to say.
"Isn't that the son of the mayor, Doug? Oh my god! How old is he! So fast with a cultivation of two levels of Element Master, you are truly a genius! "
"Of course, I heard that he almost passed the St. Bist Royal Academy examination. Just because of a small mistake, I also saw that he had used his own name to exchange for two rank 3 contribution points. I'm afraid he's here to exchange for the third one. "I wonder what kind of background that kid has. For a commoner to come to this kind of place and offend Doug, isn't this just courting death?"
Listening to all of this coldly, Tian Cheng did not react at all. He really wanted to see with his own eyes, just how noble was the culture between nobles. It was no different from what was written in the bullshit book.
After receiving praise from others, Doug became even more fierce. He secretly patted Tian Cheng's chest and said: "Brat, don't tell me you're here to exchange for contribution points! Not just me, no one here would believe that you can only get one guard! Fine! "Since you and I have only met once before, if you crawl past me and kowtow three times, I can guarantee that this job will definitely be yours. Others can't even fight over it if they wanted to!"
As soon as Doug's words came out, all the nobles present burst out in laughter, and some of the people outside surrounded him. Clearly, they were happy to watch this free farce.
"I didn't want to argue with you too much. Since you've already forced yourself to this point, I won't be polite anymore!" With a cold laugh, the aura of the Element King Level on Tian Cheng's body suddenly erupted, causing everyone, other than the man in front of him who still had his hand on his chest, to take a big step back, with some of them directly sprawled on the ground.
"You ? "You ?" Pointing at Tian Cheng, Doug looked like he was looking at a monster. His face instantly turned pale and he stuttered a few words before instinctively taking a few steps back. He had already felt the aura of the Death God.
"Pay attention in your next life. You must be careful when you speak. Not everyone is someone you can offend, especially someone like me." As he spoke, a cold light flashed across his eyes as he punched out at Tang Wulin's heart.
Bam!" With a dull thud, Doug's heart was directly smashed into pieces by Tian Cheng's fist before he even had the time to ask for a detour. He flew more than ten meters away, and landed at the feet of a few nobles. The blood in his mouth gushed out, his hands and feet did not even struggle, with a complicated look in his eyes, he looked at Tian Cheng and died.
Ignoring the corpse on the ground, everyone's eyes were focused on the young man whom they had just ridiculed. The disdain and contempt in their eyes had disappeared without a trace, replacing it was reverence and fear, especially the few people who had spoken out loud earlier.
