Chapter 44 - Congratulations, You've Won a Big Prize!
The news of An Lin’s awakening swept throughout the entire school.
After the free-for-all battle event ended, he became the most famous individual of the university.
He was labeled as an extremely elegant individual who was unrivaled amongst his generation.
Students came one after another to give him their regards, and presents filled the entire storage room!
In all honesty, the term ‘overwhelmed by unexpected flattery’ was already insufficient when describing his current feelings.
What he felt now was this—’true-super-meteoric-overwhelming flattery’!
The Jade Rabbit had already returned to the Moon Palace after seeing that An Lin was fine and determining that his brain didn’t appear to have major problems.
Xu Xiaolan’s eyes became red when she saw that An Lin had awoken, and she handed him a golden-glazed sword.
This was a high-level magical tool and was the prize that An Lin had won in the free-for-all battle event.
Because An Lin was still unconscious during the awards ceremony, Xu Xiaolan had accepted the prize on behalf of An Lin.
In addition, An Lin also had the chance to temper his body in the Jade Pagoda because he had made it onto the Immortal Rankings Board. However, he was still unconscious when the Jade Pagoda was open, so he missed out on this opportunity…
Having performed exceptionally well in the free-for-all battle event, An Lin also had the opportunity to enter the Godly Tomb Mountain. He would be able to enter alongside the top ten most powerful individuals of the Immortal Rankings Board and undertake the observation and realization of Dao. However, he was still unconscious when the Godly Tomb Mountain was open, so he also missed out on this opportunity…
When An Lin was informed of this after waking, tears streamed down his face. This matter couldn’t be described as simply letting slip a golden opportunity.
What more, he had been unconscious for two entire months!
Luckily, his self-detonation left no lingering after-effects.
Not only did he not feel weak after waking up, he felt full of vigor, as if he had an unlimited supply of energy. This was probably due to the effects of the Ultimate Creation Pill.
…
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan went to stroll through the school grounds.
He’d just recovered from such serious injuries, so it was extremely beneficial for him to go out and move about.
During this time, Xu Xiaolan also told him about the updated Immortal Rankings Board.
Although An Lin’s Finger of the Heavenly Dao was earth-shattering, it was a suicidal technique.
Out of concerns regarding safety, the school didn’t take that move into account when recording his Combat Capability.
As a result, An Lin was ranked twenty third. Not taking into account cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, he was ranked the highest.
This ranking did not change his exceptional standing at this school to the slightest degree.
The students still saw him as the true number one individual of this school.
Upon hearing this news, An Lin smiled wryly. The cost of his pretentiousness was far too high. He had almost died when he self-detonated and now, he also owed Chang’e an almost impossible-to-repay favor.
Toward such suicidal techniques… he would not use it for a second time regardless of what happened!
Although Wang Xuanzhan was scared unconscious by An Lin, his combat capability was still the highest in the whole school and he was still ranked first on the Immortal Rankings Board.
Liu Qianhuan was ranked second and as he forever was, Yang Chengwu was ranked third.
Relying on the edge that they had in their abilities, Xuanyuan Cheng and Su Qianyun ranked ninth and eighth respectively on the Immortal Rankings Board. This was big news and caused quite a stir in the school.
There was also another incident where Da Bai, An Lin’s Summoned Beast, was not listed in the Immortal Rankings Board. This incident attracted much protest from the students.
However, the official explanation from the university was this:
“Da Bai is a Spirit Beast, not an Immortal! Even if we are to assess his merits, we would first need to create a Spirit Beast Rankings Board…”
To this, An Lin smiled unperturbed.
Da Bai had already vented his grievances to him when he visited yesterday. He had clearly worked hard, performed well, and achieved many great feats. Yet, he received nothing for his hard work.
In addition, he occasionally felt cold chills shoot up his spine as he walked through the school grounds. It was as if someone was watching him, planning to devour him.
An Lin believed that those people were either those who had been defeated by the Gallant Human and Dog Duo, or his maniacal fans.
That’s right, An Lin had a large group of fans now!
He was a superstar now!
Even as he was walking along with Xu Xiaolan now, there were many students tailing behind him…
An Lin sighed softly. Is it a trend to worship superstars even in the cultivation world?
He had underestimated the impact that the Finger of the Heavenly Dao would have on other students!
As he recalled the Finger of the Heavenly Dao, he thought of Chen Chen.
It was because of Chen Chen that he was able to learn this devastating move. Chen Chen was definitely not simple.
“Oh, that’s right. What’s Chen Chen’s rank on the Immortal Rankings Board?” An Lin asked.
“Chen Chen… who’s that?” Xu Xiaolan knitted her brows and was a bit mystified as she spoke.
“Huh? He’s the youth who made Wang Xuanzhan collapse to the ground in fright!” An Lin explained.
“Oh, him? I seem to have some vague recollections… I don’t think that his name appears on the Immortal Rankings Board…” Xu Xiaolan said with an expression of realization.
You only have some vague recollections?
An Lin’s heart would still stir up every time he thought back to those visually shocking images. She, on the other hand, had almost forgotten about Chen Chen?
The teachers definitely saw that scene too. There isn’t any reason that he’s not amongst the Immortal Rankings Board.
An Lin shook his head, not wanting to think about this matter anymore.
Maybe everyone’s cooperating and keeping it lowkey. Either way, he had no control over this matter.
All in all, the free-for-all battle event had been a rewarding experience for An Lin.
Putting aside his suicidal technique, his cultivation base rose from the Seventh Stage Dao Body to Ninth Stage Dao Body. Moreover, he mastered stage one of the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill and also mastered the Divine Might Technique.
In addition, he also ate a second rank immortal pill, resulting in him being full of vigor. He also received heaps of presents from his fans and was rewarded with a high-level magic tool…
Indeed, this was a fruitful yield!
Oh, that’s right. I made it onto the Immortal Rankings Board so there’s also the system’s reward lottery!
An Lin opened the system in his mind and entered the ‘Special Missions’ section.
“Congratulations host for completing the mission. You have won a raffle for the Magic Treasure Lottery. You have the chance to receive one of the following items:
“Magic Tool (one hundred available), Spirit Tool (fifty available), Immortal Tool (ten available), Unique Tool (two available).”
An Lin stared at the words and his eyes burned with excitement.
Not only could he win spirit tools in the system’s lottery, but he could also win immortal tools!
Spirit tools were already considered the ultimate treasures of ordinary cultivation sects. As for immortal tools, these were the essential treasures of top-notch cultivation sects!
Although he didn’t know what unique tools were, he was certain that they were supremely powerful artifacts!
An Lin gulped and started drawing the lottery in his mind.
Suddenly, the system started radiating brilliantly!
“Ding Ling!
“Congratulations, you’ve won a big prize!”
Hearing this, An Lin trembled in excitement; so much so that he almost fainted.
I’ve won a big prize!
Do you hear me? I’ve won a big prize!
Is it an Immortal Tool?!
An Lin looked toward the system, only to see it display:
“Congratulations on winning the Unique Tool: Chaotic Alloy Brick!
“This brick is extremely solid. It is the most solid brick in this world!
“This brick has meticulous workmanship with its clear edges and corners. It is the finest work in this world!
“This brick is extremely black. It is the blackest in this world!”
Whoosh!
An extremely black brick appeared in An Lin’s hands.
Uh-huh… it feels extremely good in the hand, and it feels very metallic…
An Lin’s entire body trembled and he felt like spewing blood.
This is a brick, right?
No matter how impressive you make it sound, it’s still just a bloody brick!
Just like a pile of sh*t; even if it came from a fairy, it still doesn’t change the fundamental fact that it’s a pile of sh*t!
Don’t tell me that the so-called big prize was just this brick?!
When others fought, they all wielded sabers and brandished swords. Was he going to charge in with a brick and go around whacking people on the back of their heads?
Black spots appeared in An Lin’s vision. After just recovering from his injuries, the brick in his hands almost infuriated him to the point of blacking out again…
