There are 2 hours and 32 minutes remaining in the assessment.
The top eight in the points ranking are: Gu Yujing, Shen Xiu, Qin Xian, Si Yehong, Lu Jin'an, Mira, Ma Yuanhong, and Xie Wuyi.
In the final five hours, the points rankings underwent significant changes.
The current top five all surged up from behind, conserving their energy for the final sprint. This is a wise move, to prevent being overwhelmed and having their points wiped out later.
The top five are all at the eighth level of cultivation, while the bottom three are experienced in combat. In the ongoing survival test, those with higher cultivation and more combat experience have an advantage.
Chang Le is currently fluctuating between ninth and tenth place.
Chang Le collected a total of 27 items (details: 9 from the Southern Continent, 8 from the Andesdaya Mountains, 5 from the Kunlun Snowfield, and 5 from the Northern Border).
Compared to the top five, Chang Le's score is lower because different items correspond to different points, and the higher the difficulty and danger of obtaining an item, the more points it earns.
In each area, there is one item that is the most difficult to obtain and scores the most points; the points from this one item are equivalent to the combined points from the other five or six items. These items are all related to ninth-tier alien species.
In order to free up energy to deal with Hao Ren and to control his energy consumption so as not to be unable to cope with an attack, Chang Le has not dared to expend a lot of energy to deal with the ninth-level alien species. He has not yet obtained a single item of this type, and his score is relatively inferior.
Once you reach this point in your points history, it's unlikely that there will be any significant changes.
Because everyone was exhausted, it was difficult to deal with any alien creatures or obtain items in the remaining time; most of the time was spent on defense.
One of the instructors, looking at Chang Le's score, worried, "Is she already out of energy to compete for a top-eight finish?"
If they can't get in, Chang Le's spot in the [Mysterious Realm Creation] will also be forfeited.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the person in the scene, who had just escaped pursuit and should have been exhausted, suddenly rushed into the forest.
Li Yunfan: "Does she look like she has no energy left?"
The instructor: ...
He nodded and exclaimed, "These young people are really amazing! They can still keep going after several attacks, fights, and chases. Their stamina is incredible!"
Li Yunfan squinted at the scene where Chang Le was. It clearly showed that Chang Le, who rushed into the forest of rime ice sprites, was precisely slashing at the vital points of the long, white rime ice sprites with every strike.
“This is not just about endurance,” Li Yunfan said, his gaze fixed on Chang Le’s determined eyes, “but also about precise calculations and absolute confidence.”
A gregarious species living in the forest, a spirit of frost and snow. They appear fluffy and adorable, but are actually volatile and bloodthirsty, with an extremely strong sense of territory. When hunting, they will freeze their prey to death before thawing and eating them.
The Frost Spirits' freezing ability is instantaneous and difficult to defend against, and the power of their swarms is even stronger, making it easy to fall into a passive position when first encountering them.
However, this was not the first time Chang Le had experienced the abilities of these alien species.
The ice appeared at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, and sharp, frigid ice flowers bloomed on Chang Le's body. But immediately afterward, menacing green vines shot out with precision, shattering the ice one by one.
They coil around their owner, clearing away all obstacles that bind them.
The frost fairy's greatest restraining measures are ineffective, leaving it helpless against others.
The straight sword danced in Chang Le's hands, leaving afterimages in its wake, and his solidified supernatural power was unleashed through the blade.
The crisscrossing blade energy formed a dense network, and every slash missed its mark, causing large swathes of frost spirits to fall to the snow like shattered ice shards.
The blade's energy controls the drifting snow, while the vine's tail sweeps away the ice flowers.
The heavy casualties among the rime fairy group finally drew out the leader who had been hiding among the group.
A distinctive gray-white figure rose and fell, and Chang Le's gaze immediately locked onto it. With a light step, vines danced wildly like a whirlwind, shattering everything around them, while the knife-wielding figure in the center leaped forward, stepping on ice flowers.
The straight blade left a chilling afterimage in the air, ice shards flew everywhere, and the gray-white frost fairy leader that had just emerged was killed in one blow!
The surrounding frost elves were furiously bombarding them. Chang Le, who had cut off the gray hair on the head of the frost elf leader, did not engage in a prolonged fight. Instead, he flung the leader's corpse over and took the opportunity to break through and leave.
From the moment she entered the territory of the Frost Fairy, to the stalemate and the resulting large-scale casualties, and finally to the killing of the leader, the entire process was seamless and fluid!
It only took less than twenty minutes to obtain this item!
Whether it was choosing to enter the southern side, which the rime elves disliked, dealing with their freezing conditions, or understanding the habits of their leader, Chang Le's performance was surprisingly skillful.
The instructor who had been worried was now speechless with astonishment: "This is too smooth!!"
It is important to know that many of the strange creatures that inhabit the Old Ruins do not live in human settlements. Unless a large amount of resources and manpower are spent exploring the Old Ruins, it is impossible to know how many strange creatures are in the Old Ruins.
Chang Le is currently in a relatively deep part of the Northern Boundary Ruins. Logically speaking, none of these young people should have ventured in before, but Chang Le's behavior suggests that she has fought with the frost spirits.
Li Yunfan secretly wondered: Could it be that Chang Le had entered a deeper part of the old ruins of the Northern Boundary?
Even someone with his ninth-level cultivation would have a hard time reaching such a place alive in reality. How could Chang Le possibly enter?
I initially thought it was just a coincidence that Chang Le was familiar with the rime ice fairies, but the next ninety minutes...
"Chang Le successfully traversed the core malarial forest in twenty minutes! Ranked eighth!"
"She crossed the icy cliff! In the sky! She killed the King of the Skies, the Sky-Piercing Kite! Her ranking jumped to sixth place!"
"One person charging into a pack of white-spotted hyenas?!"
"Even the walrus lord who hunts walruses was slashed by her without hesitation!"
"Got it! Got it! Killed the White Ice Bear and collected 9 items!!"
The instructors and technicians in the control room couldn't help but take a second look.
The instructor was speechless with astonishment and could only give a thumbs-up with both hands: "This girl is insane!"
One of the instructors looked at Li Yunfan with a puzzled expression: "Chief Instructor, we haven't trained any weapons of war, have we?"
There was also a keen sense of wonder and curiosity: "How come she seems so familiar with these strange creatures deep within the ancient ruins?"
Qin Ling's eyes were deep, and his hand resting on the table slowly clenched. He nodded slightly: "Incredible."
Li Yunfa checked the rankings and saw that he had already climbed to fourth place, which meant he was in a safe position.
"Huh? Why is she going deeper into the area?" the instructor asked, puzzled.
With more than forty minutes remaining until the end of the assessment, almost everyone chose to wait for the results and no one dared to take any further risks.
However, in the footage, after killing the white ice bear and collecting items, Chang Le not only did not stop, but continued to move deeper into the area to the north without any pause.
"Didn't she realize she'd already collected nine items?"
"They're almost at their limit; continuing could very well lead to death."
"Is she still planning to go find the water dragon of North Bay?"
The instructors looked at each other in bewilderment.
The last item in the Northern Ruins is the one that earns the most points, but it's also the most difficult to obtain. It's a scale of a water dragon, located in the North Bay, the deepest part of the currently explored human area.
