Chapter 72, Points Ranking 3rd!
"As long as there are no special moves or superb skills among the Abyss warriors, late-stage Tier 2 Abyss warriors are like weeds in front of me! I can slaughter them at will! Even summoned Abyss monsters are no exception."
Yes, he has become terrifyingly powerful.
All of this is thanks to mastering the S-rank Thunder Blade Technique to perfection.
"If the Thunderous Blade Technique weren't perfect, how could I have become so powerful in such a short time?"
Jiang Chen secretly sighed, realizing that practicing swordsmanship at the Magic Martial Arts University a few days ago had been useful after all.
Taking stock of his gains, Jiang Chen received 0.565 free attribute points in this battle.
Defeating the Octopus Abyss Monster earned him an additional 30 points!
"We're going to be rich now."
Jiang Chen stretched his muscles with pleasure.
His ranking instantly soared from sixth to third, just a hair's breadth away from surpassing Situ Guiyi.
"It seems we'll have to keep a close eye on these abyssal monsters from now on."
Jiang Chen's eyes gleamed, as if he had discovered some great secret.
Killing two birds with one stone—it grants a large number of attribute points and rapidly increases your score—why not?
After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen began to collect the fishbone spears scattered on the ground.
These seemingly simple weapons played a crucial role when the battle began.
"You guys have done your part for me."
Jiang Chen gently stroked the sharp tip of the short spear.
Put the short spear into your backpack.
The next second, Jiang Chen disappeared outside the camp, leaving only a patch of mottled bloodstains.
Deep in the dense forest, Jiang Chen continued his search for the Abyss Clan.
......
Meanwhile, Situ Guiyi, who was taking a lunch break, suddenly noticed that Jiang Chen's points were soaring at an astonishing rate.
"What happened? This guy's ranking jumped from sixth to fifth in an instant, and just a few minutes later, he's fourth again..."
Situ Guiyi couldn't help but frown.
You have to understand, Jiang Chen just finished a morning of fighting, so he should be resting like me right now.
However, the truth surprised Situ Guiyi greatly.
Instead of resting, Jiang Chen intensified his efforts to kill enemies, and his score soared.
"Doesn't this guy need to rest?"
Situ Guiyi's eyebrows trembled, his heart filled with disbelief.
He simply couldn't believe that Jiang Chen was so powerful, like a perpetual motion machine, never stopping.
Just as Situ Guiyi was stunned, Jiang Chen's points surged again, increasing by as much as 30 points, directly surpassing third place and jumping to third!
This unexpected turn of events completely shocked Situ Guiyi.
He never expected that after fighting so hard to get to where he is now, he would almost be overtaken by Jiang Chen.
For a moment, Situ Guiyi was extremely displeased.
But reason told him that now was not the time to act impulsively.
As an archer whose physical fitness was a burden, Situ Guiyi knew the importance of rest.
Despite his resentment, he did not launch a rash attack, but instead continued to rest and prepare for the upcoming battle.
At the same time, Tan Ji, who was ranked first, also noticed Jiang Chen's unusual behavior.
She had already finished her lunch break when she suddenly noticed something unusual on her points panel.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Jiang Chen's score, which was closing in on second place at an astonishing speed!
"What? How come this Jiang Chen's points have increased so rapidly? He's about to catch up with me?"
Tan Ji was immediately flustered.
As a favored daughter of heaven, how could she allow her number one ranking to be so easily taken away?
Thinking of this, Tan Ji didn't bother to rest. She immediately picked up her dagger and quickly hid in the dense forest.
She vowed to wipe out those Abyss Clan scum and completely solidify her position as the number one!
...
As night fell, the first day of trials finally came to an end.
The first day's rankings were displayed on everyone's watch screens.
[First place: Tan Ji, 800 points!]
Second place: Situ Guiyi, 750 points!
[Third place: Jiang Chen, 710 points!]
[Fourth place: Mu Chao, 500 points!]
...
Looking at that string of familiar names, everyone was amazed.
The top three teams had a commanding lead in points, creating a precipitous gap.
Others can only look on in awe, unable to even reach the points of the top three.
Even fourth place is a huge difference.
Fortunately, no trainees were eliminated on the first day.
Although the later players had lower scores, they were all quite stable and did not encounter any particularly powerful Abyss Clan members, thus requiring them to seek help from headquarters.
As night fell, the wilderness of this rift world was quiet, and everyone was resting, conserving their energy for tomorrow's battle.
Jiang Yu from Jinling City sat alone on a big tree, resting while keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings.
Her armor was tattered and her pretty face was covered in bloodstains, making her look extremely disheveled.
She stared blankly at the points ranking on her watch, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Jiang Chen, who also came from Jinling City, was at the bottom like her before she came, but now she has broken into the top three.
Looking at myself, I'm still pitifully in last place.
Jiang Yu sighed deeply, her heart filled with bitterness.
She currently has only 30 points.
This is entirely because she has too little practical experience and is simply unable to fight the Abyss Clan alone.
All morning, she was chased all over the place by a group of Abyss Clan members. If the Abyss Clan members hadn't been slow, she would have had to ask the instructor for help and be eliminated.
It wasn't until the afternoon that she gradually adapted to the rhythm of actual combat and began to look for opportunities to ambush those lone early-stage Tier 2 Abyss Clan members, which allowed her to painstakingly accumulate 30 points.
But this score is worlds apart from Jiang Chen's.
When they set off from Jinling City, their strengths were roughly equal.
In just a few days, Jiang Chen had almost caught up with the peerless genius, leaving her far behind.
Jiang Yu shook her head with a wry smile, a deep sense of powerlessness rising in her heart.
She knew that she was far inferior to Jiang Chen in terms of comprehension, and now even her practical combat ability was lagging behind.
Perhaps it's time to give up.
But Jiang Yu gritted her teeth, and a fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes.
No, she can't give up like this!
Since we're here, we must persevere until the very last moment of elimination.
Jiang Yu secretly vowed to do her best to improve her score as much as possible, so that she could not continue to be at the bottom and remain number one.
As long as she can complete the entire training camp, even if the results are not good, it will be a huge success for her.
Having made up her mind, Jiang Yu took a deep breath, wiped the blood from her face, and slowly fell asleep.
As long as she is willing to work hard and make sacrifices, one day she will be able to create her own miracle on this path of martial arts, just like Jiang Chen.
......
Compared to Jiang Yu, Situ Guiyi and Tan Ji, these two geniuses, are not in very good condition either.
They were completely exhausted after an afternoon of intense fighting!
