Chapter 337: Negative (2/2)

”Yes, but how did you get so many of them,” Fu Zhen asked.

Alex smiled and said, ”I just did. If you are worried about me cheating, you can ask your staff member who was looking after me. He was up there all the time and saw everything I did.”

Fu Zhen turned to one of the staff members still in the air, and that person shook his head indicating no foul practice.

”Hah~” Fu Zhen sighed and looked at the staff in charge of counting the results and said, ”Do it.” The staff member nodded and applied the reduction.

The group watched the numbers in Alex's result lower. From over 3 hours, it dropped to just 3 hours. With the change in number, it also started climbing the ranks.

Slowly, it climbed higher and higher as the time was reduced more and more, and before anyone knew it, the result reached 2 hours. With just a little more reduction, he jumped past Yang Ma.

Yang Ma's face got a little dark when he saw that. The result was still climbing, however. Without stopping, it climbed higher and higher until it was in 1st place.

Alex had dropped his result by nearly 2 hours now. However, that was still not the end.

The result reduced even more and soon it crossed the 1-hour mark.

”What's going on? How is it so low?” some of the disciples started to complain. But since they had seen the result take place in front of them, they couldn't keep complaining about it for long.

The result dropped lower until it was at the half an hour mark and still kept on dropping. After what felt like an eternity, everyone saw the result reach 0.

However, it still didn't end there. Even after reaching 0, it went down into negative. It kept on lowering for a few more seconds until it finally stopped.

The final result of Alex's maze run turned out to be Negative 45 minutes, and 26 seconds.

Fu Zhen started speaking to the crowd and announced the top 3 winners. The audience was way too far from Alex's eyes so he couldn't tell their reactions, but he knew in his heart that his masters must have been proud.

”Please follow us,” a staff said and called everyone with them. The group of staff took them to a room with 120 of the rest of the participants.

They handed everyone a spirit stone, a Qi recovering pill, and told them to stay inside the Qi gathering formation until the next turn.

Alex found a relatively quiet place and ate the pill. Immediately, his body started working and directly gave him energy. Alex didn't have much use for the spirit stones, but he still kept them.

He was returned back his box with all his bags in it. Once everything was settled down and was quiet, Alex started feeling uncomfortable. The feeling was still there, haunting him apparently.

'Just what is it? Could it be a bug of some sort?' Alex wondered. So, he decided to log out and log back in to check.
