Chapter 389 Success Is Insufficient

Chapter 389 Success is Insufficient

The second assessment of defense finally came to an end around noon.

Lachlan unexpectedly emerged as the winner, like a dark horse, tying with two others for first place: Benjamin from Golden Blade Sect and Finn from the Wynter family.

Both Benjamin and Finn had also withstood attacks at the early stage of Core Formationt, just like Lachlan.

However, their strength was only at the early stage of Core Formationt and they did not attempt to exceed their level of difficulty.

As one progressed higher in levels, there was a huge difference in strength between each small realm. For example, someone at the mid-stage of Core Formationt could easily defeat ten people at the early stage without any problem! Therefore, Benjamin and Finn did not dare to try exceeding their level even though they could handle it because it was not worth risking injury for just a qualification test representing their families. There was still an individual ranking trial waiting for them later.

Savannah, Arlo and Theodore from Great Origin Sect all chose Uppecia's peak difficulty level which put them all tied for second place.

Because they still had the speed, reflex, and endurance assessment in the afternoon, everyone was temporarily arranged to rest at the entrance of the Hudpids Sect.

At the same time, the rules for the individual ranking trial were distributed to each person.

In a courtyard at noon...

The members of the Wood family, including the hidden elder of the Wood family, had unpleasant expressions. Hugo was sitting there, holding his brother Jackson's body, a look of sadness and anger on his face as he occasionally wiped away his tears.

"Worthless!"

The elder in the green robe coldly glanced at Hugo and Jackson's bodies, snorting disdainfully.

Patrick forced a bitter smile on his face and said, "Elder of the Verdant Pine, we didn't expect that Landon would pretend to be weak and have such insane defensive abilities."

"It seems that the Graham family will once again be fortunate enough to retain their prestigious status. To try and eliminate them, who knows how long we'll have to wait."

The Elder of the Verdant Pine spoke with a resentful expression.

At this moment, Patrick's eyes flickered, and a cunning look appeared on his face.

"We have another plan! But when the time comes, you will have to navigate among the five hidden powers a bit!"

As Patrick spoke, he recounted the conspiracy between him and Hugo at the Vleah City hotel.

After listening, the Elder of the Verdant Pine raised an eyebrow and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Oh? You still have that card? If it's true, then we can make it work. If the two participants from the Graham family have truly engaged in some unsightly actions and you have recorded evidence of it, then it's easy. I will have the judges use the excuse of tarnishing the cultivation world's reputation to disqualify Callum and Landon!"

Upon hearing this, Patrick laughed and turned to Hugo.

"Hugo, stop dwelling in sorrow for now! Bring out the recording you made!"

However, Hugo's face turned red upon hearing this, and he stammered, "Grandpa, wh-what recording?"

"Didn't you and your brother use the Forgetfulness Elixir to confuse Callum and Landon before? Hurry up and hand it over! Elder of the Verdant Pine can use it as an excuse to disqualify the two participants from the Graham family!"

Patrick glared at Hugo and said impatiently.

He thought to himself that this guy must be so grief-stricken over his brother's death that his brain wasn't functioning properly.

But as soon as the words fell, Hugo lowered his head embarrassingly and said, "We... we failed! We couldn't succeed, and Landon found out..."

Upon hearing this, Patrick's expression changed, and he slapped Hugo across the face.

"You worthless fool!"

"You and your brother, both of you are fucking worthless! What else can you two do?"

The Elder of the Verdant Pine from the hidden Wood family also snorted coldly, saying, "You have more failures than accomplishments!"

Hugo was slapped and flew out, rolling on the ground a few times.

After getting up, blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, his face filled with sadness and anger as he held his face.

However, he dared not speak out his anger!

Deep in his eyes, a strong sense of sorrow and indignation surged.

No matter what, he and his brother were working for the family. Even though their previous plan had failed, at least they had thought about it and tried!

And Jackson had risked his life for the family today.

In the end, they were met with the insult of being called worthless, accomplishing nothing but bringing disaster upon themselves?

Hugo's heart was filled with grief and resentment.

"Landon" killed Jackson, but that was because he was an enemy, there was nothing to say about it.

But the actions of his own elders made him feel extremely cold.

At this moment, the Elder of the Verdant Pine from the hidden Wood family flashed a sinister and cold light in his eyes.

"Callum? Landon?"

"Especially that Landon, damn it!"

"After this competition is over, let's see if you can make it back alive."

"Even if the Graham family retains their qualification this time, what about the next one?"

Upon hearing this, Patrick's face flickered, "Are you suggesting..."

The Elder of the Verdant Pine snorted coldly, said nothing more, and turned away.

Meanwhile, in another courtyard.

The members of a martial sect called the Black Moon Cult were temporarily arranged to rest here at noon.

Inside a room, three individuals gathered.

"So, the individual ranking trial is to go to the Sacred Medicine Valley in the Hudpids Sect to collect various secret medicines?"

"Hehe, for me, it's simply a windfall!"

A young man in black sat there, with an excited smile on his face.

"That's right, with the special ability of you, finding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

A slender man respectfully said to the young man.

This man had narrow eyes and a sinister look on his face. His nickname was "Lightless," and he was one of the protectors of the Black Moon Cult.

In addition to this identity, he also held another position, that of the President of the NC Organization headquarters. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The NC Organization was the force supported by the Black Moon Cult in the secular world, specializing in accumulating wealth for the sect and engaging in various activities that the sect couldn't directly participate in.

The young man in black was Nathaniel Elliott, the present-day Young Master of the Black Moon Cult.

He had a special ability, which was to detect and sense Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or spiritual energy sources within a fifty-mile radius.

Besides the President of the Lightless Society and Young Master Nathaniel, there was also a burly and fierce-looking man present.

He was Black Star in Kreanford, the stronghold of the NC Organization. He had accompanied the President to participate in the Clan Grand Competition.

At this moment, upon hearing the President of the Lightless Society's words, the Young Master shook his head, "No, the benefits I was talking about are not just about collecting those ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and obtaining a ranking in the individual trial."

"It's that I sensed that there will be a truly miraculous medicine maturing in the Sacred Medicine Valley!"

As he spoke, a strong sense of anticipation and excitement appeared on the Young Master's face.
