The people outside were buzzing with discussion, but it didn't affect Zhong Ming. Likewise, the rankings on the sky screen didn't make him anxious.
'The Seven Profound Sect didn't change course right from the start. The Sword Dao Seeds the sect cultivated were all killed by Demons and Evil Spirits during their trials. That's the real reason the Seven Profound Sect changed its ways, and it's what everyone believes is the crux of its decline.'
'That's why the sect's highest priority right now isn't a disciple's killing prowess, but their ability to survive.'
'This assessment is a perfect example. The longer you survive, the more points you earn, and the more highly the sect will regard you.'
'If I can safely make it through the second day, my points could even increase tenfold.'
With this in mind, it was obvious what Zhong Ming needed to do.
'Conserve my strength... But that doesn't mean not exerting any effort at all. First, I need to gather the disciples from Longxi Peak.'
