Ignoring Xiao Beiyu's murderous gaze, Leng Shuang chose to disregard it.
"Ye Fei, let's teleport out quickly!"
Leng Shuang had also completed her freshman assessment tasks and urged Ye Fei to leave the Thousand God Tower.
By the time they emerged, the plaza was already bustling with activity.
Some were dejected, while others were excited.
The final deadline was less than half an hour away.
The Thousand God Pagoda closed immediately after the last freshman was teleported out.
Following that, the middle-aged man with a beard who had announced the rules earlier, the Hall Master Wang, walked onto the plaza again.
"Alright, I will announce the end of this assessment here."
"After everyone has registered the number of Snow Beasts they have slain, I will then reveal the rewards for this assessment."
After a detailed tally, Hall Master Wang had obtained the specific number of Snow Beasts killed by the freshmen.
When he saw the number displayed for the first name, his eyes widened immediately, clearly disbelief at what he was seeing, thinking his old eyes had failed him.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
He discovered he hadn't misread!
Someone had actually broken the record!
And they had broken it by a significantly large margin!
His voice began to tremble slightly.
"The final results are now in my hands!"
"I will announce them now, and everyone can confirm if there are any errors."
"Alright, everyone, quiet down, I will announce it now!"
Then, Hall Master Wang proceeded to publicly list the number of Snow Beasts killed by each freshman, from top to bottom.
When he announced that the first-ranked individual had slain a hundred Snow Beasts, everyone exchanged stunned glances and whispered amongst themselves.
Leng Shuang also looked at Ye Fei with a surprised expression several times.
The most distressed among them were Xiao Beiyu and the others who were currently confined to wheelchairs.
Hearing that Ye Fei's kill count far surpassed theirs and had broken the record intensified their anger.
Following this, it was time to assign students to classes based on their Snow Beast kill counts.
Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow.
The Heaven class was the most formidable.
Correspondingly, the Yellow class was the lowest.
Ye Fei was naturally the first student assigned to the Heaven class.
As Hall Master Wang announced for Ye Fei to come forward to receive his identity token, the moment Ye Fei stood up and reached the high platform, Xiao Beiyu immediately launched his attack.
"I object!"
"I object to this arrangement!"
Xiao Beiyu, his face grim, was pushed onto the high platform by a guard.
The other individuals whose legs Ye Fei had severed also followed Xiao Beiyu, being pushed in their wheelchairs by guards.
"Hall Master Wang, I have something to say!"
Hall Master Wang frowned and asked.
"What is it?"
"If it's something trivial, we can discuss it later!"
Seeing Hall Master Wang's slight displeasure, Xiao Beiyu still pointed his right hand towards the nonchalant Ye Fei.
"I demand that Ye Fei's results be disqualified!"
"I accuse Ye Fei of harming fellow disciples!"
"Our legs were severed by him!"
"Hall Master Wang, you must seek justice for us!"
Xiao Beiyu accused, his face full of righteous indignation.
"What?"
"You say your legs were severed by Ye Fei?"
"Do you have any proof?"
Hall Master Wang clearly did not want to believe it, but he had to continue questioning.
"Of course, I have proof!"
"My brothers here can all testify for me!"
"If you don't believe me, ask them!"
Xiao Beiyu replied immediately.
Hall Master Wang first examined the wounds on these individuals, confirming that they were inflicted recently. He then turned to Ye Fei and asked.
"Ye Fei, since they accuse you of harming fellow disciples, can you prove your innocence?"
Ye Fei glanced at them as if they were performing clowns and then said.
"Certainly."
"I have a clear conscience!"
"However, I cannot go into the specifics of the cause and effect."
"I hope Hall Master Wang will understand!"
To protect Leng Shuang's reputation, he was unwilling to reveal her near-humiliation in front of everyone.
Xiao Beiyu seized this opportunity, daring to clamor for Ye Fei's disqualification.
"Hall Master Wang, you see, he is guilty and afraid to speak!"
"I once again request that you disqualify Ye Fei's results, and that our sect will never employ such a scoundrel who harms fellow disciples in the future!"
Xiao Beiyu directly cut off Ye Fei's path.
"You!"
"This is too much!"
Leng Shuang was so infuriated that steam seemed to be rising from her head.
Seeing Ye Fei remain silent, Hall Master Wang took it as an implicit confession and was somewhat disappointed.
Although Ye Fei possessed astonishing martial prowess and achieved an excellent record of one hundred kills, their sect always emphasized mutual support among fellow disciples.
Such a malicious individual was not the kind of talent their sect required.
He then shook his head, hesitating whether or not to disqualify Ye Fei's results.
"Hall Master Wang, student has something to say!"
"The situation is not as he described at all!"
"The reason Ye Fei did not refute is solely to protect me!"
"Now that I see Ye Fei being framed, I can only, and must, reveal my own wounds."
"I will now recount the whole story!"
Xiao Beiyu had not expected this woman to reveal the truth of the matter and immediately became flustered.
All of this was observed by Hall Master Wang.
"Very well, you speak. If anyone dares to deceive me, Wang, I will not let them off!"
Hall Master Wang stated assertively.
"Stop!"
Ye Fei wanted to stop her, but ultimately, he relented under Leng Shuang's resolute gaze.
He immediately looked expressionlessly at Xiao Beiyu, the instigator.
Xiao Beiyu couldn't help but shiver.
He was actually intimidated by Ye Fei's gaze!
The gazes of the others below the plaza also shifted to Leng Shuang.
Especially upon hearing that Xiao Beiyu and the others had ganged up to attack and insult her, many became indignant.
Xiao Beiyu was now sweating profusely, his hands nervously fiddling with the hem of his clothes.
Hall Master Wang was also furious, and he already had a preliminary judgment.
He estimated that Ye Fei had arrived just in time to rescue the woman.
At this moment, his admiration for Ye Fei grew.
Furthermore, seeing that Ye Fei's cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the third level of Qi Refining, yet he could defeat so many cultivators of higher levels, his combat power could already be considered top-tier.
