"Now my points have increased to 76," said Ellia as she looked at her token and had a sudden doubt.
"But the name slot is… empty?"
"Oh, that voice also said that we can use our energy to input our names or alias," Davis said as he looked at her in a meaningful way.
"Hehe, I'm going to use an alias!" Flicking his sleeves, Davis gave off an impeccable air which seemed to imply that he had a grand alias in store for himself.
Ellia looked at him weirdly as she knew whenever he posed , there wouldn't be one good thing that would happen. She then ignored him and replied as she used her energy to input her name into the token, "Oh, I'll just use my name."
She looked at the token in satisfaction and felt a little good as though she managed to carve and leave her name in a monument.
"So, what alias did you pick?" Even though Ellia was not even the least bit looking forward to it, she was still a little curious.
"Heh, not telling!" Davis laughed.
Days passed as Davis and Ellia actively hunted for tokens.
They killed whoever wanted to kill them and robbed whoever only wanted to get their tokens.
They did as they pleased and spared no one even under any circumstance. As long as they felt some killing intent from their enemies, they won't hold back either.
Davis made Ellia do all the fighting and as a result, her battle experience increased, furthermore she never got to be in a disadvantage during a battle, as she dual cultivated both Body Tempering and Essence Gathering Systems.
Ellia faced more than a 100 battles and she collected more than 3000 points. Meanwhile, Davis ran off to hunt whenever she had taken a break from her exhaustion from battling.
He had also managed to gather 2000 points as he made his way into the Top 10,000.
People who had lost their tokens had no way to participate unless they rob a token from a participant and start from the beginning.
So it doesn't matter how many points one collect, it was important to protect their own token as well. Once a person lost it, all the points that the person had collected will disappear, but it won't add to the one who absorbed the token.
The one who absorbed will just get the point of the token that they have absorbed.
It was the fifth day of the preliminaries.
A black-robed silhouette, along with 5 young people ran across the forest.
They looked pretty happy as they checked their tokens.
"Hey, look at this, my ranking is in the Top 1000's" The youth who said that had a lush green hair tied up behind his neck. He looked suave and had a dashing presence around him.
"Hmm, not bad…" The voice sounded out with a tone that can melt one's state of mind.
"Haha, Young Mistress, it still doesn't compare to your ranking of getting into the Top 100."
"Stop that, all the tokens that I absorbed were from the hard work of us all. Honestly, all of this should have gone to you, Kent."
The six of them were none other than the Cauldon Family youths who were sent to participate in the Grand Sea Continent Meet. There were two women and four young men in this group.
"It doesn't matter if my ranking is in the top 10 or top 100 in this preliminaries. This ranking will be of help to you when you marry into the Loret Family so that others won't look down on you, Evelynn." Kent Cauldon smiled and said.
"Thank you, thank you all…" Evelynn telt touched and replied in a heartfelt tone.
She was wearing black robes to cover her identity from someone.
Kent was a close cousin of Evelynn's. He was next in line to inherit the Family Head position since Evelynn was born as a girl.
The other candidates don't quite measure up to him in cultivation, so they were no threat to him at all.
The only threat to him was Evelynn. If someone had married her and got into the family, then he would lose his Family Head position.
But to his luck, Evelynn got engaged to the prince and she will marry him into the Loret Family which clears the line for him to become the next head of the Cauldon Family.
This made him feel content, so he had no calms in helping Evelynn, who was his cousin, achieve a greater glory in the Grand Sea Continent Meet.
The Cauldon Family team was quite powerful that each of them could hold their own against a motley team of youths who were only out for the Top 100,000 positions.
Evelynn who had a pretty low cultivation rode on their coattails as she didn't deem it necessary to use her own powers in this preliminaries.
They chatted as they randomly went in a direction to encounter a team to battle and casually collect some tokens while they were at it.
Suddenly Evelynn froze as her team encountered two kids who were lone without any reinforcement.
Her team also froze because they have seen this two kids before.
"Well, isn't this a coincidence? my dear Evelynn." An astonished voice drifted, breaking the silent atmosphere in this place.
Davis was surprised to see her in this Island. There were other eleven Islands which made his chances of meeting her were very low as well.
Evelynn was dumbfounded to hear that he had found out her identity with just a glance. She felt that all that concealing her identity and strength had gone to waste.
She removed her hood and replied calmly, "My Evelynn? I don't remember becoming yours?"
"Oh, you will, hehe. That matter? Are you up for it now?" Davis asked with a playful tone.
"You sure you want to take me on?" She said as she released a greyish aura from her body.
"This… She has reached the Iron Stage!?" Kent and the others who saw Evelynn was visibly astonished at her cultivation.
