Chapter 335: Chapter 269: Kang Yongchang’s Reward! The battle of the top ten hidden dragons begins!
After a round of conversation, Zheng Cheng and others had gained a slight understanding of Lu Mengmeng and the nature of the priesthood, which was quite an eye-opener.

According to Zhao Yunxiao, during the great catastrophe three hundred years ago, legends of one or two divine professions would occasionally emerge.

Regrettably, very few of these so-called divine professionists had survived until now.

Some even fell halfway through their journey.

For instance, the first nine-star professionist of Blue Star, the Beastmaster, was once hailed as one of the divine professions. Unfortunately, during a major retreat to cover for the majority of the team, Senior Zheng sacrificed himself honorably.

The night was falling, and they all took their leave after a brief chat.

In the following days, people like Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, and others stayed at the school to acquire knowledge and train, awaiting the imminent Ten Hidden Dragons competition.

In the last few days, the tension among the freshmen who were eligible to contest for the positions of the Ten Hidden Dragons had surprisingly eased, unlike the tense atmosphere of the previous days.

Zheng Cheng also made a few phone calls to Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, and others to inquire about the competition of the Ten Hidden Dragons.

According to their conversations, he also learned that Qin Zheng was going to participate in the competition.

Bai Jingqi, Li Zhen, Li Jiao, and even Chen Xiao had all joined Qin Zheng’s team.

Their combined strength was formidable.

They all agreed that if they were to encounter each other in the wilderness, they would form an alliance.

Apart from Qin Zheng, Zhou Xinyu, and Zheng Yi also extended an olive branch to Zheng Cheng.

The three of them were planning to both compete against and cooperate with each other.

Zheng Yi, in particular, expressed helplessness about Yao Zhixue accidentally killing Shi Feng instead of Zhang Meiyu in the secret realm.

“I know Shi Feng. It seems that Dongfang Yang and Zhang Meiyu have already formed an alliance. The enemies you’ll face in the wilderness won’t merely be the Cave Beastmen Tribe.”

“Don’t worry, I will certainly fulfil the promise I made to you.”

“I will personally stop Zhang Meiyu and Dongfang Yang during our journey in the wilderness!”

“As for the final competition of the Ten Hidden Dragons, everything will be left to our individual abilities!”

Recalling what Zheng Yi had said then, Zheng Cheng didn’t pay much mind to it.

This man with the same surname was simply overly confident.

Just as the competition of the Ten Hidden Dragons was about kick off, Zheng Cheng received the school’s reward for the freshman secret realm examination.

Although he was the top student of the auxiliary college, he had destroyed the world crystal of Jasha Island and originally thought that he would have no connection with this reward.

Unexpectedly, Kang Yongchang had someone deliver the reward to him anyway.

A total of a hundred thousand gold coins.

And… a temporal rift the size of a marble!

Simultaneously, Kang Yongchang also left him with a word.

“Your worldly oddity is in a damaged state, and it would cost a hefty price to fully repair it. Even I can’t guarantee a full recovery, so consider this temporal rift as your reward.”

Gazing at this marble-sized temporal rift, Zheng Cheng visualised Kang Yongchang’s serious face in his mind.

“Principal…”

Zheng Cheng took out the worldly oddity from his bosom. At this moment, it was still in deep sleep.

Through its nearly transparent body, he could see that the temporal rift inside it had shrunken by more than half but had not yet fully merged.

Checking its attributes confirmed this to be true.

He pondered for a moment, then held the newly obtained temporal rift against the worldly oddity.

As expected, the worldly oddity moved, ‘swallowing’ this temporal rift.

“Hmm? It works!”

Zheng Cheng’s expression changed, and more than a hundred temporal rift fragments the size of a fingernail appeared on the table.

Or rather, they were fragments of the temporal rift from Jasha Island.

During the final battle, he had assigned over a thousand Griffin Knights to guard over a hundred home crystals, ordering them to shatter the crystals and bring back the temporal rifts within when they departed or when the home crystals were destroyed.

Except for a few unfortunate ones that got annihilated, the remaining Griffin Knights all brought back fragments of the temporal rift.

In other words, he had a total of one hundred and twenty-five temporal rift fragments in his possession!

Placing the temporal rift fragment next to the worldly oddity, it ‘swallowed’ the fragment once more.

He continued to feed it, and it continued to swallow.

It wasn’t until the thirtieth fragment that it struggled to swallow another one.

“Did it reach its limit… It seems that I can only wait for it to digest some of the temporal rifts before feeding it more.”

“I wonder what changes it will undergo once it finishes digesting these temporal rifts…”

Zheng Cheng immediately opened his personal attribute panel.

After his journey to the secret realm of Jasha Island and consuming a large amount of special food, his attributes had undergone earth-shaking changes!

At this point, both his four-dimensional attributes and skill levels had greatly improved.

Especially among the four-dimensional attributes, his physique and spirit attributes had broken through the 600-point barrier!

Normally, when his level is upgraded to LV36, he would only get 108 free attribute points.

However, with the help of special food, his four-dimensional attributes had skyrocketed countless times over!

He put all these 108 free attribute points into his spirit attribute.

After all, he is a Priest, and spirit is his main attribute!

The gold scale shield in his backpack was an alchemy item made by Baker on Jasha Island using the sturdy wings of a golden beetle.

A perfect-level alchemy item!

“The venue for this Ten Hidden Dragons competition is the newly discovered alien battlefield, the ‘Wilderness’. The alien opponents there are from the Cave Beastmen Tribe.”

“The Cave Beastmen Tribe mainly consists of Dogmen, Ratmen, Lizard-men, Hyena Men, Jackal Werewolves, Mastiff Men, and other races. I wonder if my newly learned Rabies Eruption Technique will have any special effects!”

Zheng Cheng stood up, looking out at the deep dark night, he muttered, “I’m looking forward to it…”

As time passed day by day, amidst the anticipation of countless freshmen, the much-anticipated Ten Hidden Dragons competition by the entire Beijing National University, and even the entire Xia Country, finally began!

On this day, more than 200 freshmen from Beijing National University gathered at the Advanced Mental Attack Academy, ready to be teleported to the Wilderness for assessment.

At this time, two figures suddenly approached Zheng Cheng.

“Zheng Cheng, after much consideration, I’ve decided to join your team.”

“I’ve brought someone else with me too. It’s up to you if you want to take him in…”
