Chapter 119: Cross-Region 3 (1/2)

Chapter 119: Cross-Region (3)

On top of the high tower, all the very important people were watching the examinations going on via the screen of light.

There was only one live broadcast screen, yet there were ten thousand exam competitors, so naturally not each one was shown. Most of the time, the screen was constantly searching for interesting battles for those important individuals to watch.

Right next to the screen with all the interesting battles was the screen with the leaderboard.

The numbers on the screen were constantly changing and jumping. Every so often, the ranks would be shuffled, and the ranks of the exam contenders were constantly shifting up and down.

But no matter how they changed, some peoples’ positions did not change at all.

They remained at the very top!

The highest name on the rankings was Ji Hanyan. This name had a parentheses next to it which contained the words “Frostbird”. Finally, there was an eye-catching number: 75.

The parenthese was the bloodline. Only those with inherited bloodlines had this symbol next to their name. The number represented the number of points they possessed.

In half a day, this Ji Hanyan person had actually obtained seventy or so points. This was a frightening pace. One had to know that, because the examination had just begun, each opponent would usually only equal one point. Seventy points meant that Ji Hanyan only needed half a day to take care of at least fifty or so opponents.

Even if she had fireballed each one of them, not many people would possess that much Origin Energy to do it.

Below Ji Hanyan’s name was a large group of people who were constantly vying for a higher ranking. Almost all of those who had the highest rankings all had the bloodline symbol next to their names, and some bloodlines even appeared across multiple names.

Occasionally, some individuals without the bloodline symbol would appear, but they would quickly disappear again.

Regardless of whether it was Su Chen, Li Qingyun, Bai Li, or any other disciples in their clan, none of their names had ever reached the list of top a hundred.

“It seems like the situation will only develop to this point. Once again, the disciples of the noble clans are once again the most outstanding seedlings in the Hidden Dragon Battle. How boring,” a member of a noble clan laughed as he sat on the tall tower.

“Is that surprising at all? If noble bloodline clans weren’t stronger than some commoners without a bloodline, how could they be considered nobility?” a man to the side replied, unsurprised.

“Old Qi is right. This really is rather boring. If there were another Black Day Transformation, things would be a little more interesting,” someone said.

Upon hearing the words “Black Day Transformation”, many people suddenly began to whisper in each others’ ears.

Someone said unhappily, “I think that for people like Long Pojun, one is already too many, yet you actually want it to happen again. What point is there in bringing up such things that only cause us to lose face?”

“Come, come, Old Liang, you know that Old Qi was only joking. Why so serious? Someone like Long Pojun doesn’t appear even in a thousand years. How could there possibly be another one,” someone said, attempting to reconcile the situation.

“Yes, yes, let’s talk about something else. Of this year’s top ten, we have Frostbird Ji Hanyan, Blood Demon Zhong Ding, Bewitching Butterfly Jin Ling’er, and Treebow Zhang Sheng’an. There’s no suspense about these four, but the other six spots I am curious as to who will obtain those spots; it’s still quite suspenseful.”

“Charm Ape Wen Rushui comes from an illusion master clan, and she can probably obtain a spot.”

“I don’t think so. Although illusion-type bloodlines are powerful, they are not as useful on the battlefield and completely rely on the use of soul power. The recovery rate of soul power is much lower than Origin Energy, and she won’t have enough to make it later on in the examination. Although Wen Rushui may be strong now, as time goes on she will definitely fall in the rankings. I favor Guan Shanying more.”

“I think we can forget about Guan Shanying. As his name implied, he relied on the Ying Shanyi to obtain benefits, but in fact his strength is quite limited. He might be able to sneak some benefits by having affairs with women, but he definitely cannot tower amongst a group of strong men. I favor Sword Rhinoceros Zheng Kuang more. He is like an overlord with his spear – quite remarkable.”

“He has enough strength, but he doesn’t have much in the way of brains.

“Poisonous Centipede Kong Shen. His poison is very pervasive.”

“Thunder Spirit Bai Ou……”

“Drought Dragon Jiang Chang……”

“Fat Crane……”

One name after another was brought up through the mouths of these noble clan members, as well as their thoughts and outlook on the current Hidden Dragon Battle.

————————————

“Whew!” Su Chen let out a long sigh.

The opponent he was currently facing was somewhat of a burden. Su Chen took had to expend quite some effort to defeat him.

However, this was not the crux of the issue.

The crux of the issue was that, as he had battled, his expenditure of Origin Energy had greatly increased. He had only passed through two regions and it was enough for Su Chen to feel quite exhausted. However, he still had to pass through five more regions!

When he thought about that, Su Chen felt his head begin to hurt.

His mission was more difficult than he had anticipated.

While his opponent was still disoriented, Su Chen took his points and hid him in a nearby patch of grass so that he wouldn’t be taken advantage of by anyone else passing by.
