Even so, the Paradise’s numbering system keeps growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the adept population was steadily increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing’s number was recycled, not newly appended at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, encountering the same adept twice in a trial world—without using a binding item or maintaining contact—was as unlikely as winning the lottery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the massive base and generous benefits, mid- and low-tier adepts were indeed weaker in personal combat than those in Fantasy City, Nightmare Realm, War Domain, or Death Kingdom—but compensated through sheer numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In high-tier combat, one-on-one, most still couldn’t win—but the Paradise always relied on overwhelming numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were mid- and low-tier numbers large; high-tier combatants were numerous too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In survival rate and growth rate, the Paradise ranked first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the other four camps, failing a mission meant outright erasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Paradise, even if your Paradise Points dropped negative, they’d still give you a chance—the penalty for mission failure was well known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, many late-blooming, slow-burning, late-stage adepts emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the other four camps, such people wouldn’t even survive the early stages, let alone develop later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see how far I can climb in these remaining days,” Chu Danqing muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to climb to first place, but this trial wouldn’t give him the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To challenge the top three, he needed to reach the top ten first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond tenth place, the system matched opponents based on Arena Points, number of matches, and win rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning would raise his rank according to the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a last-place adept could never directly challenge the first-place one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Progress had to be gradual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Arena Points: 0, Arena Matches: 0, Arena Win Rate: 0%}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Arena Ranking: 99741036584}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Begin matching Arena opponent}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing stared at his eleven-digit ranking—there were this many adepts in 1st tier alone, and he was certain he wasn’t the last; many more lay behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This confirmed that the number of Reserve-class adepts would be even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, not all preparatory-level individuals can survive to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing suspected that each rank encompassed more than one region; otherwise, how could it accommodate so many people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Match completed.
