Chapter 170

"My lord, those earth puppets are really hard to fight. Our spears are dull, and we don't have much durability left, but there are only ten minutes remaining, and there's no time to repair them."

Zhao Chi pointed at the ground: "Rest quickly, no need to repair. Depending on the situation later, you can just use iron sabres directly. I want to see what the next stage is like. If things look bad, I'll consider withdrawing."

Gu Qing sat beside him: "Ah? It's fine, we can still keep fighting."

Zhao Chi said: "I'm just saying let's see what the situation is like later. Your leather boots don't have much durability left, do they?"

Gu Qing nodded: "Yes, even I got hit by a stone spike once, and Tang Ruan almost got stabbed in the crotch."

Tang Ruan lay down next to Zhao Chi.

Hearing this, she turned over: "Oh, Sister Gu, why are you saying that?"

"I just wanted my lord to show you some concern."

Zhao Chi indeed asked: "How is it, Tang Ruan, are you alright?"

Tang Ruan nodded: "Although I didn't dodge it, I twisted aside, so it only stabbed the inner side of my thigh above the knee. Luckily, with the protection of the leather armor and stockings, I wasn't hurt."

Tang Ruan spoke while lifting her leg.

Zhao Chi saw a long scratch on the leg armor on the inner side of her left leg.

The leather fibers were slightly curled outward, showing that the stone spike was indeed quite sharp.

Gu Qing laughed: "Good thing you dodged. If a stone had gotten you there... what a pity that would be."

"Ah? The stone got me where? Pity about what?" Tang Ruan blinked, not knowing what she was talking about.

Zhao Chi looked at Gu Qing helplessly.

Gu Qing laughed: "Haha, my lord, why do you have that look? Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Zhao Chi sighed: "Rest for a bit, there's not much time left."

Gu Qing covered her mouth and laughed: "Chatting with you all is my way of resting. My stamina recovers really fast."

Tang Ruan still looked at them with a completely blank face.

Gu Qing laughed: "It seems little Tang Ruan really doesn't know anything. My lord, you'll have to teach her well in the future, if she has that good fortune."

Tang Ruan looked even more confused.

But from Gu Qing's smile, she felt it wasn't anything good.

Still, if she could learn things, she was very willing.

"My lord, as long as you teach me, I'm willing to learn anything, and I will definitely study hard."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Don't worry, I'll teach you well. There's not much time left now, all of you rest."

Gu Qing also lay down.

Leaning against Zhao Chi, she watched the clouds in the sky.

Zhao Chi opened the rankings.

【Real-Time Test Rankings】

【1st Place】Class 9: Zhou Lue

【2nd Place】Class 1: Hua Yuyin

【3rd Place】Class 8: Wei Jinlong

【4th Place】Class 10: Yuan Zhao

【5th Place】Class 10: Lang Hu

In these rankings, Zhou Lue's 1st place position didn't change.

Hua Yuyin and Wei Jinlong rose to 2nd and 3rd.

Yuan Zhao appeared again, taking 4th.

And Lang Hu, whose strength in Class 10 was quite good, took 5th place.

The Pei Yuanxiu who was just in 2nd place and You Yu in 4th place are gone, and they're not in the top 10 either.

The commonly seen Qi Xue is also gone.

Zhao Chi scrolled back and indeed saw that these 3 students had already withdrawn from the test.

So far, a total of 5 students who were favored by everyone have withdrawn.

Class 2 You Yu, Class 3 Xiao Liu, Class 5 Pei Yuanxiu, Class 6 Qi Xue, Class 7 Ye Zhong.

Those 5 withdrawing early counts as an upset.

And Zhao Chi entering 10th place is also an upset.

Truly upsets one after another.

Now let's look at Class 4's situation.

"... No way?"
