Ed's score was like a rocket taking off, and it inexorably surpassed the important mark of 150. At this moment, Angelica's score, which was once considered insurmountable by everyone, was left far behind by Ed.
The students around seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and came from all directions. The crowd grew larger and larger, tightly surrounding the stone platform in the middle.
Their faces were filled with excitement and excitement, and their eyes were fixed on the constantly changing numbers above Ed's head. Every jump of the numbers would trigger a deafening shout.
"160! 170! 180!" The students' voices intertwined together, forming a powerful wave that soared into the sky.
"Oh my God, this is incredible! How did he do it?" A student widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment and admiration, and his mouth opened so wide that it seemed as if an egg could be stuffed in.
"This should be Ed's second time to hit the leaderboard, right? I didn't expect his performance this time to be so amazing!" A classmate next to him echoed, with envy and admiration in his eyes.
"It's already 180... not 190 points! Looking at this momentum, is he going to compete for the top ten position in the standings? This is too crazy!" Another student's voice was trembling with excitement. His hands were clenched tightly together, and his nails turned white from the force.
"This is unbelievable! He is like a rising star that lights up the entire stadium!"
"200 points! 200! This score is definitely in the top 30 even among the second graders! This is simply a miracle!"
As the crisp bell of the end rang out slowly in the air, Ed's figure swayed slightly. He was exhausted, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he slowly fell to the ground in a state of collapse.
His chest heaved violently, sweat soaked his clothes, and drops of sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto the stone platform.
However, his face was filled with a satisfied and relieved smile. He raised his head with difficulty, his eyes fixed on the shining number 217 above his head.
217! This number is like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly illuminating the entire stadium.
All the students present were stunned by this number, and then burst into overwhelming cheers and exclamations.
Because this number means that Ed has reached the top of the points ranking!
This kid, Ed, with his talent and hard work, created his own legend at this moment, and truly made everyone look at him with admiration.
Tears of pride and joy flashed in Ed's eyes. He slowly turned his head and looked at the stone tablet behind him that symbolized honor and strength.
At the very top of the stone tablet, he clearly saw his own name. That was the first place, the position he had always dreamed of and fought for, and at this moment it was shining with his own light.
At that moment, he seemed to see the hardships and persistence he had gone through along the way, and all his sweat and hard work were perfectly rewarded at this moment.
However, fate always seems to like to play a cruel joke at the most critical moment. Just as Ed was immersed in this hard-earned glory, his heart full of longing and expectation for the future, the first place in the stone tablet ranking list slowly changed in full view of everyone.
A strange and eye-catching name - Carlisle Amonrit, like an uninvited guest, suddenly appeared at the top of the list.
And his score, with a slight advantage of 218 points, just one point difference, ruthlessly pulled Ed down from the throne he had just sat on.
For a moment, the entire stadium fell into deathly silence. Everyone's eyes widened, staring at the suddenly changed names and numbers on the stone tablet, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
Ed's smile froze on his face instantly, replaced by an indescribable sense of astonishment and loss.
His body was trembling slightly, his eyes were full of unwillingness and confusion, and he asked silently in his heart: Who is this Carlisle Amonrit?
And just when the whole place was dead silent and everyone was immersed in the astonishment brought about by this sudden change, as if out of thin air, a violent storm swept out from afar like a raging wave, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
On the stone platform next door, a slender and elegant figure stepped on the storm and appeared in front of Ed.
What caught Ed's eyes was an elf with dazzling long golden hair. The golden hair looked like flowing golden silk, sparkling with brilliant luster under the sunlight. It was draped over his shoulders wantonly, dancing gently in the wind, exuding an unruly aura.
His face was like a finely crafted work of art, with deep and three-dimensional features, a high nose bridge like a steep mountain, with hard yet elegant lines; his eyes were like deep pools, with a hint of coldness and indifference in the dark blue, as if everything in the world was like passing clouds in his eyes, without any ripples; his thin lips were slightly raised, but it was not a warm smile, but an innate arrogance and disdain.
He had a tall and straight figure, and was dressed in a gorgeous robe that was embroidered with delicate and mysterious patterns. It flickered with a faint light and fluttered in the wind, adding to his otherworldly temperament.
He floated quietly in the air, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at Ed coldly with a condescending attitude. The look in his eyes was like a king high above looking down on a humble ant, which instantly made Ed feel strongly uncomfortable. Based on the few words he had heard before, he roughly guessed the identity of the blond elf.
Carlisle Amonlit's eyes were full of contempt and disdain, as if he was examining an insignificant insect. His gaze slowly moved from the top of Ed's head to his toes, and then returned to his face. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a disdainful sneer came out of his nose.
"Hmph, a commoner? Look at you, a commoner of humble origins. Even if you are lucky enough to perfectly control that pitiful amount of magic, what good can it do? You are just an insignificant grain of gold that occasionally flashes in the vast sand. Compared with the real dazzling gem, there is a world of difference. There is a huge gap."
After that, Carlisle raised one hand gracefully, pointing his slender and white fingers straight to the boundless sky, his expression becoming more and more arrogant, as if he was the god who ruled the sky. He said in a cold and unquestionable tone: "So, you, a lowly commoner, should recognize your identity and put yourself in the right position. The pinnacle of glory is not something that a person of your humble origin can reach or reach. Don't have these unrealistic dreams, lest you end up being smashed to pieces and become a laughing stock."
