When Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening finally produced a total of more than five hundred demon cores, the two elders from the palace did not know what to say.
What?
How was this possible?
Even Jiang Liuxue, the Sky Dragon's inheritor, had only obtained four hundred and twelve points. How could Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening combine their scores to reach a terrifying five hundred and twenty-two points?
The two elders kept sizing up Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening. No matter how they looked at it, the two of them were only inheritors of a Mortal Dragon and a True Dragon respectively. Even if they combined their scores, it was impossible for them to surpass the other True Dragons by three or four times.
Moreover, they were even stronger than the Sky Dragon?
The two elders from the palace had witnessed Jiang Yuening's combat strength and knew the level of her strength. Therefore, it was impossible for there to be any variables.
In that case, the variable was Kang Shin-mu!
After all, although Kang Shin-mu had only obtained the inheritance of a Mortal Dragon, his talent of reaching the Ascending Dragon Realm at the age of fifteen was still extremely dazzling. Therefore, it was impossible for people not to notice him.
"Tell me in detail, how did you obtain these demon cores?"
Although the results of the Supreme Prince's Mansion would be quite good, the two elders still followed their strict principles and asked the two of them. They had to get to the bottom of the matter. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if the other four Manors became suspicious.
Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening exchanged glances. Just as they were about to speak, a sharp voice came from the side, "Wait!"
Everyone turned towards the source of the voice and saw that it was a female elder from the North Manor. This elder was Jiang Liuxue's senior. She immediately sensed that something was amiss when she saw that there were so many Earth Demon Cores in the Grand Supreme Manor.
After her sharp voice, she ran over with her men and pointed at Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening. "Did the two of them obtain these demon cores together?
Then we'll have to question them separately and see if they are telling the same story! "
"What is this? Are you interrogating a criminal?"
Jiang Yuening could not help but snort coldly. "We put in so much effort to slay the demons and obtain these demon cores, but we have to hand them over to the tribe.
Now you're interrogating us because of these demon cores. Isn't this too outrageous? "
Everyone felt that Jiang Yuening's words made sense.
It was just a demon-slaying trial. Although it was important, it was too much to use this method to interrogate a criminal.
This was especially true for Jiang Haisheng and the others from the Supreme King's Palace. Every single one of them was filled with righteous indignation.
I'd like to ask, what method did you use to cheat in the Heavendrive Forest to obtain so many Earth Demon Cores! "
"Yes, we're suspecting of cheating? Otherwise, how could you have killed more demon cores than Liuxue?"
The Northern Residence's female elder said coldly as she glanced suspiciously at Jiang Shenwu and Jiang Yuening.
"Jiang Qinghua, don't be so unreasonable."
The two elders from the Grand Prince's Mansion spoke up as well, "As for how they got their Beast Cores, that's for us to handle. It has nothing to do with you. If you're interested, you can come and listen, but don't even think about getting involved.
Our Jiang Clan has never had such a rule! "
The female elder of the Northern Mansion named Jiang Qinghua's face immediately darkened.
Jiang Liuxue and the others from the North Manor followed suit, as did the people from the other four manors. They had all seen how many Yao Cores the elder from the King's Manor possessed. It was very likely that the outcome of the Demon-Slaying Expedition would be rewritten.
Therefore, everyone wanted to pay attention to the situation here.
Jiang Liuxue's posture was calm as she coldly stood to the side. She sized up Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening with a complicated look in her eyes. She had never imagined that the two of them would obtain so many Yao Cores. They had been too careless.
Jiang Liuxue did not try to find the reason, nor did she expect them to have cheated. No matter what, when she saw Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening take out so many Yao Cores, Jiang Liuxue had already begun to reflect on herself.
She had relied on her unparalleled strength and the mentality that others could not surpass her to participate in the demon-slaying trial.
During the demon-slaying training, she only chose the leaders of the demonic beasts to hunt. She didn't chase after the weaker demonic beasts that escaped, because she didn't care about them. But in reality, if she chased after them, every time she killed a demonic beast leader, her harvest of demonic cores would at least double.
In that case, regardless of whether Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening had cheated, she, Jiang Liuxue, would still be first!
This was a wake-up call for Jiang Liuxue. This was only her first time transforming into a dragon, and it was not a dangerous demon-slaying trial. Although it would affect the selection of dragon techniques, in truth, for a Heavenly Dragon inheritor like Jiang Liuxue, it would not have much of an impact on her future development.
After all, the distribution of dragon techniques was not limited to the demon-slaying trial. In the future, the Jiang clan would issue many missions. With Jiang Liuxue's strength, she could easily find another opportunity to obtain the best dragon techniques.
"This reminder is not bad."
Jiang Liuxue thought to herself. She did not blame Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening, but instead felt grateful.
If she had been careless during the demon-slaying trial, there was still a chance to make up for it.
But if she had been careless during a critical mission in the future, it would not only affect her cultivation of dragon techniques, it would affect her life!
On the side of the two elders of the Grand Prince's Mansion, the female elder of the North Mansion, Jiang Qinghua, still had no say. Although she wanted Jiang Shenwu and Jiang Yuening to talk about their experiences separately, she did not have the authority to arrange this matter.
After all, the elders of the Grand Prince's Palace might be suspicious, but they were still on their side. How could they sit back and watch as Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening were bullied by outsiders?
Then, under the watchful eyes of more than a hundred people, Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening began to talk about their experiences during the demon-slaying trial.
The key points were the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders, as well as the battle between the Fanged Hound and the Green Ape. These two experiences made everyone gasp in amazement.
As for how the two of them joined forces to kill the fourth, fifth, and even sixth Bone-piercing Winter Spiders, Kang Shin-mu used the excuse of creating a trap. With Jiang Yuening's battle power, they were able to continuously kill the Bone-piercing Winter Spiders.
She said it lightly, but everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard it.
