Chapter 150: Rankings

After forcing Ji Hanyan to retreat, the exam became like a walk in the park.

The three-man team wandered through the exam grounds at their leisure, walking through the different regions and cleaning up any other exam candidates they encountered.

They crushed everyone they encountered; no one was able to put up any kind of resistance against them.

They did run into the more powerful candidates, but next to Ji Hanyan, they weren’t all that strong. Their self-confidence rose to new heights as they beat candidates left and right.

On that day, the three of them reaped the most points since entering the exam grounds.

During this time, Su Chen wanted to find Li Qingyun and Bai Li, but no sign of them was found. It was unknown whether or not they even made it to the first region.

The first rays of the sun streaked over the horizon, and a loud whistle sounded out, signalling the end of the Hidden Dragon Institute’s three-day exam.

The exam candidates were beamed out of the exam grounds, once again appearing on the large plaza.

They lifted their heads up to look at the massive screens of light, which revealed how many points each exam candidate had obtained and their corresponding ranking.

After three full days of battle, the fruit of their efforts was now manifested. The exam candidates that had endured to the very end searched for their names on the ranking list.

From time to time, people would yell out things like, “I made the top six! I’ve got a spot in the Institute!” or “Dammit! Three points! I could’ve beaten him with just three more points!”

Joy, vexation, excitement, and anger could be heard in the students’ voices.

Of course, 99 out of a 100 were eliminated by the Hidden Dragon Institute’s cruel entrance standards. Most people were sorrowful and disappointed. Only a few showed excitement, and they were very jarring compared to their surroundings.

Most people were only focused on whether or not they got in, but some were aiming higher.

Jin Ling’er nervously searched for her name on the rankings list.

She started at the top and before long she found her name. She was placed tenth!

Jin Ling’er, 722 points.

“Whew! Made it,” Jin Ling’er sighed in relief.

Because Su Chen had taken a large handful of her points, Jin Ling’er had far fewer points than she would’ve liked. Although she furiously fought to recover the gap, in the end, she was only barely able to reach tenth place.

Even so, Jin Ling’er was satisfied.

In reality, the top three were considered to be on a different level than the rest of the top ten, but the differences weren’t too great. To Jin Ling’er, as long as she could enter the top ten, she could accept any other loss.

She scanned back up and found Su Chen’s name written next to the fifth place marker.

Su Chen, 814 points.

“Hey, congratulations,” Jin Ling’er said to Su Chen. “You’re in the top five.”

“Not much difference between that and tenth place,” Su Chen replied nonchalantly.

He spoke the truth. Fifth and tenth place weren’t very different from each other.

“Hey, at least you guys are in the top ten. What a pity, I only reached sixteenth place,” Fatty Wang sighed. He had fallen too far behind in the beginning, making it impossible for him to catch up.

“That’s not bad either. You should still be considered a seedling of the institute, albeit probably with a lower ranking,” Jin Ling’er comforted.

The three of them glanced at the leaderboard again. Ji Hanyan was the person with the most points. Even though she had lost to the three of them, it didn’t seem to affect her very much; she continued to furiously earn points the entire way through.

She possessed a frightening 1345 points, 500 more than Su Chen. Even the second-place candidate, Blood Demon Zhong Ding, was more than 400 points behind her.

On the leaderboard, Ji Hanyan existed in a league of her own. She was at the top of the rankings list with a point total that simply made others feel helpless. Aside from her, the rest of the top 10 had similar amounts of points.

Despite this, Su Chen’s name was still very eye-catching in this top 10.

This was because he was the only one without a bloodline attached to his name.

Although he was only fifth, the attention he drew was no less than Ji Hanyan’s.
