Chapter 144: Which window did heaven close on Lu Xun?

I swear, oh heavens, is this true or false? Lu Xun, you're this heaven-defying?

This is way too scary.

He's just a freshman, and already this strong as a freshman; if he gets a bit stronger, what will happen?

On the grasslands outside the secret realm, the crowd was noisy.

All the students were discussing the same topic: Lu Xun had won the ultimate grand prize.

Earlier, while they were in the secret realm, although the news had already spread, only a few knew about it.

Now, as the students left the secret realm and gathered together, the news spread too quickly.

He actually won the ultimate grand prize!! How is this possible!!

Upon hearing this, Wang Tengyun's first reaction was disbelief.

But the surrounding students were spreading it, saying it convincingly, so Wang Tengyun couldn't help but believe it.

Damn it!

Wang Tengyun was so jealous his teeth were about to break.

Lu Xun won over ten million units of dark energy from the Jia Shi Group; he must have used that dark energy to buy fifth-grade or higher talismans, which is how he won the ultimate grand prize.

That's right, in the secret realm, there are no restrictions on methods.

Beside Wang Tengyun, two students began to conjecture on their own.

His earlier strategy of making enemies for Lu Xun had taken effect; these two students were successfully stirred up by him to feel jealousy and resentment toward Lu Xun.

I knew it...

In the crowd, Lin Yan was there, wryly smiling repeatedly.

The fact that Lu Xun won the ultimate grand prize was shocking to others.

But upon entering the secret realm, Lin Yan felt that Lu Xun might once again cause some earth-shaking commotion.

Sure enough.

Lu Xun directly won the ultimate grand prize.

He, on the contrary, was the least surprised.

This former rival, perhaps having witnessed Lu Xun's heaven-defying feats all along, now has confidence and expectations for him that surpass everyone else's.

Good thing He Xiao didn't come, otherwise his Dao heart might shatter... From now on I should stay away from them.

Lin Yan secretly made a decision.

He no longer intends to continue opposing Lu Xun.

In fact, he had long lost the qualification, merely holding back a breath in his heart.

Now, there's no need to hold that breath any longer.

No matter how much breath you hold, you can't catch up to Lu Xun unless he himself fails.

Lu Xun practices immortal and martial dual cultivation; in others' eyes, he still has a chance to fail himself.

Especially when breaking through from the fourth realm to the fifth realm, one faces heavenly tribulation and may also encounter inner demons and such.

But perhaps Lu Xun has created too many miracles.

Lin Yan inexplicably feels that a minor heavenly tribulation might not be able to do anything to Lu Xun at all.

Now those guys from Wanliu Academy are going to be dumbfounded, right?

Some students gloated over others' misfortune.

The freshmen of Wanliu Academy were extremely arrogant before the assessment.

It seemed as if first place belonged to them.

Now looking at it, their situation is not looking good.

This Lu Xun, what monster is he!!!

It's just the ultimate grand prize, only ten thousand points; I have twenty-three thousand points, he might not be able to beat me!

The freshmen of Wanliu Academy were all somewhat dazed.

Especially those students who had spent a lot of money.

They had spent so much money, only to have Lu Xun appear out of nowhere midway.

When they got the news, their heads were buzzing.

Some students were unconvinced, feeling that an ultimate grand prize just adds ten thousand points.

Purely in terms of points, he might not necessarily lose to Lu Xun.

WOC, Brother Xun, this is too awesome!

Li Bu Fan also heard this news; aside from exclaiming, he couldn't help but feel happy for Lu Xun.

These past few days, Li Bu Fan has been active in the first few layers, and hasn't encountered too many foreign race people.

Initially, the foreign race people mainly dealt with geniuses active below the tenth layer; they hadn't yet had a chance to act against more students when Lu Xun killed Blood Ming, turning the tide.

This led some students to still lack a clear understanding of how dangerous this assessment was.

What, the foreign race people actually controlled the entire secret realm and killed many students?

Damn, Senior Wang Bo was killed?

At this point, more news spread out.

This concerns the situation of this secret realm's anomaly.

The foreign race people's actions of hunting down students everywhere, as well as the secret realm losing control, and many students being killed.

The number of dead students is not small.

Those at the fourth realm are basically still okay.

But many third-realm students died, including some upperclassmen that the students knew.

After this news spread, the students who had not been active on the upper ten-odd floors finally realized just how dangerous this examination really was.

If Lu Xun had not promptly dealt with the blood demon and turned the tide, letting the alien race continue slaughtering, even if the secret realm were vast, these tens of thousands of students would eventually all become food for the aliens.

Moreover, many students came forward to testify that they had been saved by Lu Xun.

On the campus network, many videos have already appeared.

These are videos recorded by some students showing Lu Xun instantly killing aliens of the Fourth Realm.

As expected, this new news once again caused a great uproar among the student body.

He even killed so many of the Fourth Realm?

How is that possible? These people must be talking nonsense!

Beside Wang Tengyun, the two students were shocked by the new news, their faces full of disbelief.

Crack!

Wang Tengyun's fingers were almost crushed from gripping too hard.

Before, he could still deceive himself, thinking Lu Xun must have used some trump card to win the ultimate grand prize.

But now, Lu Xun has killed a great many aliens of the Fourth Realm.

Where does Lu Xun get so many trump cards capable of killing Fourth Realm beings?

Lu Xun has come out!

At this moment, Lu Xun walked out of the secret realm.

As soon as he appeared, a large crowd of students rushed over, surrounding Lu Xun like stars holding up the moon.

Damn it!

This sight made Wei Guangyao's eyes bloodshot.

In his view, this honor should have originally belonged to him.

He had used an extremely costly sixth‑grade spirit talisman, yet still failed to win the ultimate grand prize, and even the championship of the Fourth Year Group was now in jeopardy.

He suffered a huge loss this time.

Lu Xun, I'm not done with you!

Wei Guangyao's eyes revealed deep hatred.

"Brother Wei, Lu Xun makes enemies everywhere and will surely meet his end; just hold on for now. Once Lan Xing enters the Ancient Starry Sky Road, we'll have plenty of opportunities."

Lin Qiang saw this, quickly stepped forward, and whispered to Wei Guangyao.

Although this guy fears Lu Xun, he has always wanted to regain his standing.

"Everyone's out now; we can shut it down."

"Good."

Not long after Lu Xun emerged, there was not a single student left in the secret realm.

This secret realm examination thus ended.

"Fellow students, this secret realm examination has ended perfectly; in this examination we have lost some comrades..."

After the examination ended, Director Wang flew up above the students and began speaking in a heavy tone.

"Indeed, an accident has occurred."

Director Wang's words confirmed the rumors that had been spreading.

The students listened silently.

"However, in this secret realm examination everyone also achieved glorious results..."

After mourning the deceased students, Director Wang shifted his tone and began talking about the achievements.

All the students lifted their spirits.

Because the segment for announcing the results was about to begin.

"Now, announcing the results of this examination."

After a speech, Director Wang moved his hands, and a huge holographic screen appeared before the many students.

On the screen, from left to right, there were four columns of names.

These are the top 100 of each group in this examination.

From left to right they correspond respectively to freshman through senior year.

Students of each year respectively looked at their own column.

"As expected, it's him!"

"The first place in the freshman group is indeed Lu Xun."

"Fifty thousand points... wow!"

Lu Xun's points startled the freshman students.

Over fifty thousand points, more than double the second place.

"Damn!"

The student from Wanliu Academy with twenty‑three thousand points was stunned.

He was second.

Although second is not low, it's not first, so it means nothing.

Chu Youqing ranked fifth.

She was able to achieve such a high ranking entirely because Lu Xun, at the end, farmed points for her by killing the hidden aliens.

There were not a few hidden aliens.

Several of them were of the Fourth Realm.

These aliens were hidden beneath the eighteenth level; even if points were calculated according to the eighteenth level, killing one would yield a bountiful amount.

If it weren't for Lu Xun, her ranking this time would be in danger.

Apart from her and Lu Xun, the top ten are all students of Myriad Willows Academy.

This shows how terrifying the copying ability is.

"How could it be her!"

"This isn't fair, Murong Wan just started her first year, right?"

In the second-year group, the first place is Murong Wan.

This made many second-year students shout that it's unfair.

Especially the second-year students who were squeezed into second place.

In the third-year group, the top student is a student named Zhao Fang.

As for the fourth-year group, it's Liu Changfeng of Myriad Willows Academy.

"What a pity, just a little short."

Jin Yuhua felt it was a pity.

His points and Liu Changfeng's differ by only a little—just over a thousand points.

There's no way; even a one-point shortfall won't do.

"Damn it!"

Wei Guangyao's face turned ashen.

He fell even further behind, ending up in fourth place, still several thousand points behind Jin Yuhua.

Who let him previously suffer heavy injuries from Blood Nether, his team likewise wounded, and his combat ability affected to some extent.

"It's all Lu Xun's fault!"

Wei Guangyao readily shifted the blame onto Lu Xun.

"What about the ultimate grand prize?"

"The moment to witness a miracle has arrived!"

After checking the rankings, the students began to anticipate the ultimate grand prize.

Soon, they found out.

Above the four-column rankings, a name appeared.

Lu Xun!

"A hiss!"

"It really is Lu Xun!"

"Mommy!"

"Invincible!"

Across the entire prairie, a cheer burst forth like mountains shouting and seas roaring.

They say when heaven opens a door for you, it surely closes a window, but after thinking it over, I still don't know which window heaven closed for Lu Xun.

You wouldn't get this, of course it's my chat window.

... I've gone all out against you all, the talented contenders.

After the cheers, the students began to discuss with even greater enthusiasm.
