"it's over."
"Phew, stop fighting, it's all over."
"Seriously, if it had been any later I could have gotten another point."
"Hopefully, I can make it into the top 100."
As sparks exploded in the sky, people fighting all over the city stopped what they were doing.
Soon, vehicles drove into the city to pick up the candidates and take them to a nearby temporary camp to rest.
"Then we'll be going now."
Ye Bufan waved goodbye to Yu Rui; they had to go to the boys' camp.
Yu Rui nodded, looking thoughtfully at the four people who were leaving.
Unlike Ye Bufan and the others, Yu Rui, who had taken the potion, was like a strange beast, and her cultivation had no bottlenecks; she could break through to the third rank at any time.
But Qin Sheng reminded her not to break through or compete for the top spot.
The remains of dragon beasts are meant for fishing, and even if the top player gets them, they will be under close surveillance.
Yu Rui already has problems; she's always under surveillance and could be exposed if she's not careful. At that point, even a miracle won't save her.
As a vice sect leader, Qin Sheng was confident he could obtain the dragon beast remains, so there was no need for her to take the risk.
"Bed! Finally, I can sleep!"
In the midst of the chaotic battle, one must remain vigilant even when resting, let alone sleeping, lest one be ambushed.
When Wang Xiaopang saw the bed, he immediately pounced on it, his whole body relaxing completely.
Ye Bufan also yawned. His tense nerves relaxed and sleepiness surged up like a tide. He couldn't hold back anymore.
"Shangwu, are you asleep?" Qi Jie suddenly called out from his bed, but there was no response from the lower bunk.
When he peeked out, he saw Shangwu lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully.
"Alright."
Qi Jie sighed, thinking about his performance in the assessment and Yu Rui's reaction, and gradually closed his eyes in worry.
But those scarlet eyes flashed through his mind.
"Why do you hate me so much...?"
From the moment he first saw Yu Rui, he noticed her ruby-red eyes, which made his heart flutter.
He had never felt this way before. Was this what it meant to be moved?
In his sinking consciousness, Qi Jie suddenly remembered that this feeling was not the only time.
He had the same throbbing sensation when he saw the cultist who looked like a ghost in red that night, but at that time it felt more like his body was warning him of danger, caused by a surge of adrenaline.
Is there any connection...?
Thinking was simply not for him; he fell asleep instantly and began to snor.
Shangwu, who was on the lower bunk, silently opened his eyes. Luckily, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would definitely have had to listen to his nagging!
Closing my eyes no longer prevents me from feeling sleepy.
After watching the surveillance footage all day, Luo Hongxia remained calm and composed.
Is there any movement at the warehouse?
"Sir, there was nothing major going on, just two probing attempts."
Luo Hongxia nodded: "Keep a close eye on it."
The next day, the eliminated people gathered at the camp and waited quietly.
Even in a single day, the number of people, which originally numbered over 100,000, was instantly reduced by more than half, leaving only about 10,000.
Almost everyone here is a first-level martial artist, with only a lucky few who haven't broken through to the next level.
"Your scores are now displayed on your bracelets. We will now announce the top 100 candidates!"
"Zhang Danshan, ranked 100th, with a score of 29 points!"
"Ninety-ninth place, Lin..., score thirty-nine!"
…
"Eighty-ninth place, Wang Xiaopang, score of forty points!"
"Brother Jie is awesome!" Wang Xiaopang cheered.
"No problem." Qi Jie completely forgot his pre-sleep doubts: "Brother Jie will make sure you're in the top 100!"
...
"Twelfth place, Qi Jie, with a score of 171!"
…
"Sixth place, Ye Bufan, with a score of 195!"
…
"Third place, Yu Rui, with a score of 215!"
…
"First place, Shangwu, with a score of 291 points!"
In case of a tie, the ranking will be determined by the person who scored first!
There are many cases of the same score after the 50th place, but there are mostly no cases of the same score before the 50th place, after all, the score has reached an exaggerated number.
If Ye Bufan and his group hadn't been besieged, they would have had a hard time finding more than two hundred candidates on this day; most of them were delivered to their door.
Shang Wu, with his initial advantage in cultivation level, took the lead, while Yu Rui, with her sharp scythe, also swept away large areas with each strike, achieving a score significantly higher than the other two.
Qi Jie gave up a lot of kills to Wang Xiaopang, otherwise his ranking would have been much higher.
In previous years, this would have been the end, but this year, entering the top 100 is just the beginning.
Next comes the draw for the ring matches, where it's all about individual skill.
Some were saddened, some were distressed, and they returned to their familiar city under the escort of the city guards.
Yu Rui rushed back to the Yulin company immediately.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Yu, you can't go in."
The security guard at the entrance awkwardly stopped Yu Rui, who wanted to enter the company, and gave her a strange look.
"What's the meaning?"
Yu Rui frowned. Ever since she sent those two scumbags to be shot, everyone in this building knew who she was, so why would anyone stop her?
"The literal meaning."
The security guard added, "This is Director Song's decision; you have been blacklisted by our company."
"Song Zhongjin? His orders?"
Yu Rui laughed, but she was also angry.
Song Zhongjin was the person she supported to become the apparent leader of Yulin Company, as instructed by Qin Sheng. At the time, he was acting as the deputy leader, and the other party did not know that he was Yu Rui.
