Ou Yangming shook his wrist and retrieved a saber from his interspatial bag.

It was not one of the top-notch weapons that he had smithed, but it was not to be underestimated as well. Moreover, it was especially sharp, hence it was considered a fine tester.

When Ou Yangming glanced at Xu Heran, he instantly noticed the faint scornful look on the elder's face. It was evident that the powerhouse from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion was incredibly confident about the meteorite from beyond heaven.

Ou Yangming grunted and slashed with his saber.

"Ding…"

Following a clear bang that was pleasing to the ear, Ou Yangming's saber bounced up while countless sparks flew in all directions.

Nonetheless, when the sparks disappeared, everyone's face changed as they were shocked.

Wang Weinian, Li Xinyi, and the others were real powerhouses, so they were far more sharp-eyed than other people. They could tell at once that Ou Yangming went all-out without holding back. Furthermore, although his saber was not a precious weapon, it was not something that was only used to fool others.

Even so, after being slashed by the sharp blade and such power, the meteorite was not damaged at all. Instead, a tiny cut appeared on Ou Yangming's saber.

Sure enough, the stone was indestructible.

Ou Yangming nodded and beamed.

In actuality, even if the meteorite from out of this world was not as tough and could only draw mental powers, he would still want to bag it. Now, he was more certain that he wanted to claim the stone for his own.

Xue Heran uttered, "If any of you would like to inspect it as well, please go ahead."

His voice spread far and wide, but nobody went forward.

Apart from Ou Yangming, it would be hard to find anyone else from the crowd to be so bold as to question someone from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion in public.

Xu Heran nodded as he was pleased. He spoke loudly, "Alright, if that's the case, I hereby announce that the Hunting Meet's first place goes to…"

"Wait!"

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming, who was standing in front of the meteorite, reached out his hand and cut off the elder.

A fierce look flashed in Xu Heran's eyes. He asked coldly, "What else do you want to say?"

Even though the Beyond Heaven Pavilion believed that harmony would bring wealth, if they were continuously provoked by someone, they also had a limit that could not be crossed.

Ou Yangming cupped his hands and asked, "Senior, are you going to announce the winner based on the ranking on the Water Suspension Tablet?"

Xu Heran answered with a straight face, "Of course."

Ou Yangming laughed. "Since you're so sure, senior, that'll be great."

The crowd was stunned. They scanned him from head to toe but could not figure out what would be so great.

Xu Heran's eyes turned cold. Ou Yangming was undoubtedly causing trouble time after time, thus the elder was unhappy. If he was on another occasion, even if he did not lightly punish the young fellow, he would have left in displeasure. However, now that they were in public, for the sake of the Beyond Heaven Pavilion's reputation, as furious as the elder was, he could only hold it back for the time being.

Nevertheless, Xu Heran decided that once everything was settled, he would surely make the ignorant young fellow regret what he had done.

"Hmph, tell me… What's so great?" Xu Heran questioned coldly.

Ou Yangming smiled with his eyes squinted. "Senior, based on what you said, the more one's blood crystals, and the higher their qualities, one will definitely finish first, am I right?"

"That's right." Xu Heran was suddenly moved. He asked, "Are you going to fight for first place too?"

Ou Yangming nodded seriously. "Yes, I'd like to fight for it too."

Everyone instantly clamored and looked strangely at him.

Xu Heran looked coldly at him for some time before he burst out laughing. "Young fella, have you seen the Water Suspension Tablet today?"

Ou Yangming grinned. "It's right there so of course, I've seen it."

"Hehe, since you saw the Water Suspension Tablet, do you know what the colors on it represent?"

The young fellow shook his head in a daze and answered, "I have no idea, but I was just going to ask you."

"How dare an ignorant fella like you…" Xu Heran flapped his sleeve indifferently. He had lost the patience to carry this on any longer with Ou Yangming, so he was going to shoo him away. Who knew, it was then when Su Tianqian explained loudly, "Brother Yu, during the Hunting Meet, Brother Wang's group obtained over 300 blood crystals of different kinds, one of which belongs to a mutated high-rank ferocious beast. Besides that…" He paused for a while before he continued with a heavier tone, "They also have a top-grade fierce beast's blood crystal."

Xu Heran was slightly dumbfounded as he turned to look at Su Tianqian.

He knew Su Tianqian very well. The fellow might seem like he was kind and gentle to everyone but deep down, he was a proud man. If Su Tianqian did not take Ou Yangming seriously, he would not have explained everything to the young fellow despite knowing that the elder was mad.

Xu Heran was moved. He calmed down right away and looked probingly at Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming was shocked. "A top-grade vicious beast's blood crystal is hard to come by indeed." He was rather surprised because he did not think that anyone else could have acquired one as well.

Due to the cultivation base limit set for the Hunting Meet, other than the few powerhouses meant to maintain order, the rest were at most Advanced Spiritualists. Given that someone of this cultivation base could eliminate a top-grade savage beast, one would indeed be worthy of being regarded with special respect.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming's situation was entirely different.

He was certainly going to succeed by using his Illusion Formation to go against a ferocious beast without wisdom. Moreover, he gained the 2 other blood crystals of top-grade fierce beasts without any effort.

Li Tianyu could not hold back anymore, so he shouted angrily, "Hmph, what an ignorant and presumptuous fella. Do you know what a top-grade savage beast is?" He pointed at the Water Suspension Tablet and laughed out loud. "You're at the very bottom without a single blood crystal, so how dare you think about fighting for first place? You're truly shameless."

The crowd was in an uproar after they heard what he said.

They finally knew that the bold fellow was Yu Tianrui, who had not gotten even a single blood crystal according to the Water Suspension Tablet.

In actuality, there had been cases where participants of the Hunting Meet did not record all of the blood crystals that they acquired. Having said that, Ou Yangming was the first person that wanted to fight for first place without any blood crystal.

Ou Yangming smiled and simply turned a deaf ear to Li Tianyu's words. He replied to Su Tianqian, "Thank you, Brother Su." Following that, he turned to ask Xu Heran, "Senior, will I be qualified to fight for first place and be rewarded with the meteorite from beyond heaven if I submit a better blood crystal?"

'How could this young fella submit a better blood crystal?' Xu Heran did not buy it at all. That said, after he glanced at Su Tianqian, he still nodded and answered, "That's right. It's an unchangeable rule."

Wang Weinian and Wang Haobin looked at each other with weird looks in their eyes, but they did not believe that Ou Yangming could do it.

The latter went forward and said, "Pavilion Master Xu, these are my gains, so please count them." He shook his wrist and retrieved an interspatial bag, then he retrieved all of the blood crystals in front of everyone else.

Among the blood crystals, other than the many low-rank and middle-rank blood crystals, 4 of them drew the most attention.

They were 4 multicolored blood crystals with peculiar yet natural colored rings around them as if they had a certain charm to them. When one looked at them, one's consciousness would be drawn. Furthermore, out of the 4 blood crystals, one of them was particularly bright and eye-catching than the rest.

Blood crystals were acquired from ferocious beasts.

Judging from their appearance alone, it was obvious that they were exceptionally valuable. Additionally, each of them carried enormous energy.

Nonetheless, while the energies were massive, they also contained dead Qis of equivalent ranks, and they could not be absorbed by humans nor spirit beasts. Nobody knew why the Beyond Heaven Pavilion would put in so much effort to purchase these blood crystals.

While most people were lost in the blood crystals' lusters, Xu Heran asked with a slightly dark face, "Young Master Wang, where's the top-grade blood crystal?" He added with bright eyes, "These 4 high-rank blood crystals alone won't be enough to exchange for the meteorite even if one of them is mutated."

Wang Haobin chuckled and uttered, "Yes, Pavilion Master." He waved his hand and retrieved another blood crystal from his interspatial bag.

The moment he took it out, the whole square seemed to have fallen dead silent.

A top-grade blood crystal—it was really a top-grade blood crystal. An imperceptible and thin layer of a faint multicolored mist lingered around it.

Wang Haobin said proudly, "Pavilion Elder, please inspect it."

Given that he obtained a top-grade blood crystal from the Hunting Meet, no matter what he did to get it, he should be proud of it.

Xu Heran smiled and nodded. "Very well! Young Master Wang, you're a distinguished man indeed. This meteorite from beyond heaven…"

"I'm taking it!"

At the spur of the moment, another voice was heard, where the person finished the sentence smoothly.

Xu Heran and Wang Haobin were speechless. As well-mannered as they were, they were infuriated.

Nevertheless, just as they turned around and wanted to reprimand Ou Yangming, they saw the young fellow retrieve an interspatial bag and take something out of it.

It was a large blood crystal, and it was surrounded by a faint mist. The young fellow presented it to them just like that.

"A top-grade… A top-grade blood crystal?" Xu Heran widened his eyes and mumbled.

Wang Haobin was in disbelief as well. He did not think that anyone else could have slaughtered a top-grade ferocious beast too.

That being said, this was not the end.

Ou Yangming smiled and reached inside his interspatial bag again to reveal another blood crystal.

When the 2 dissimilar blood crystals were placed together, they looked like the 2 brightest stars in the night sky but also like 2 humongous mountains that oppressed everyone else.

Ou Yangming looked around and asked, "Senior, can I exchange these 2 top-grade blood crystals for the meteorite from beyond heaven?"

Xu Heran was stupefied for a while. He looked deeply at Ou Yangming as though he finally got to know him.

Subsequently, he nodded hard and waved his hand to take possession of the 2 blood crystals, then he handed the meteorite to Ou Yangming.

His voice spread far and wide such that everyone in the square heard him well.

"The Hunting Meet's first place goes to Yu Tianrui."
