Chapter 61: Ranking Improvement

Zhao Chi lay on the grass, opened the real-time ranking.

[Test Real-time Ranking]

[1st Place] Class 9: Zhou Lue

[2nd Place] Class 2: You Yu

[3rd Place] Class 6: Qi Xue

[4th Place] Class 10: Yuan Zhao

[5th Place] Class 8: Wei Wei Jinlong

This level tested long-range shooting ability, as well as accuracy.

Zhou Lue came from behind to take 1st place, it seemed he was very good at dealing with aerial enemies.

The fierce Hua Hua Yuyin dropped out of the top 5.

You Yu appeared again, rising directly to 2nd, she was also very good at dealing with aerial units.

Look at his own class ranking again.

[22nd Place] Class 4: Cao Feng

[35th Place] Class 4: Duan Yun

[36th Place] Class 4: Lu Yi

[39th Place] Class 4: Zhao Chi

[Rank: ---] Class 4: Yang Xiong

Cao Feng’s ranking has risen by one place this time; I suspect his centaur archers have made some contributions.

Lu Yi’s ranking has also risen by 4 places. Her race is Elf, and she excels at archery. This stage should be relatively simple for her.

But Yang Xiong...

His ranking hasn’t appeared yet; he hasn’t passed the third stage.

His race is the savage Orc; they have great strength, but their agility is weak and their accuracy is low.

Dealing with these enemies that fly back and forth is indeed a bit strenuous.

After a while longer, Yang Xiong’s ranking finally appeared.

[Rank: 294] Class 4: Yang Xiong

As expected, his ranking dropped quite a bit.

It seems his long-range damage capability is still a bit weak.

The group chat is at 99+ again.

Wang Lie: [How is everyone doing? My goblins can’t hold up at all; 5 have died. Those harpies take one out with a single claw, and they even grabbed 2 of my goblins and dropped them to their deaths.]

Li Ke: [The skeletons are the same. My Great Skeleton Hero was almost beaten to death, and several other skeletons died too. The aerial enemies are so annoying.]

Sun Quan: [Wang Lie, your goblins increase by 7 every day. Can’t you just use javelins? How did 5 die?]

Wang Lie: [I didn’t even notice the enemies were in the air at first; I was ambushed.]

Zheng He: [Lu Yi, you’re amazing, you’ve already reached 36th place. You truly live up to being the class monitor.]

Shi Juan: [Brother Cao is the same, he’s advanced another place.]

Lu Yi: [It’s nothing. Long-range races have the advantage in this stage. My elves shot directly from the trees and quickly shot them all down; I even captured a few.]

Cao Feng: [Haha, it’s nothing, but honestly, centaur archers are fast and can shoot; they’re pretty badass.]

Zhuang Xiao: [Have you guys looked at the grade ranking? It’s still those same few people.]

Yin Lan: [Yeah, they’re fighting back and forth, and we can only watch the show.]

Li Xun: [But look at the very bottom of the grade ranking; over a dozen have already withdrawn from the test.]

Shi Juan: [Ah? Why?]

Li Xun: [Either they suffered heavy casualties, or those students were in mortal danger and were saved by the instructors.]

Zhao Chi looked at the test rankings.

Sure enough, the status of some students showed that the test had ended.

This is understandable.

The races of most ordinary students are Human, Orc, or Elf.

These three races only get 5 refugees per day, so by today, there should only be 40 people.

If they are further divided into soldiers and craftsmen, dealing with 30 harpies is difficult; there is indeed a probability of failure.

Yang Xiong didn’t speak this time.

It must be because his ranking dropped, so he’s embarrassed.

Zhao Chi closed the class group and entered the grade group.

The group was full of discussions predicting who would take first place.

Every class was trash-talking each other.

The system had already muted a few people.

Zhao Chi found it uninteresting and logged off to rest.

Tilting his head, he saw Tang Ruan lying beside him, quietly watching him.

Seeing Zhao Chi looking at her, she quickly turned her head to look at the sky.

Zhao Chi smiled: "Tang Ruan, what’s wrong? Do you have something to say?"

Tang Ruan shook her head quickly: "No."

"Turn around and let me see."

"Ah? Oh."

Tang Ruan turned her head, and Zhao Chi stared at her.

Tang Ruan was too shy to meet Zhao Chi’s gaze, her eyes darting away repeatedly.

Zhao Chi looked openly at Tang Ruan, whose cheeks were turning red.

Her hair was black, shiny, straight, and long.

Her eyes were large, with bright and clear pupils.

Her nose was dainty, and her lips were slightly red.

She had a very clean look.

"My lord, what’s wrong?" Tang Ruan asked softly.

"Nothing, how are you? I saw you get bumped earlier."

"Oh, I’m fine. My hand was just a bit sore from the shield, but it’s better now."

"Mm, rest a while longer."

"Okay."

Tang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head away, and continued looking at the sky.

Gu Gu Qingjiao was not by his side.

She was over at Li Zhu’s place, a few meters away, repairing wooden spears.

Besides Li Zhu and the other carpenters, there were also female craftsmen like Ding Dang, Feng Xiu, and Fang Li.

They were all helping to repair the wooden spears together.

Soon, all the wooden spears were repaired.

Gu Gu Qingjiao came over with a smile and lay down on the grass next to Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi asked: "Did you get everyone to repair the wooden spears together?"

Gu Gu Qingjiao smiled: "Yes, everyone was very cooperative. By finishing it together like this, everyone can have time to rest."

Zhao Chi immediately praised her.

Being praised, Gu Gu Qingjiao couldn’t stop smiling: "Haha, Tang Ruan and the others wanted to help too, but I didn’t agree. After all, they are militia and the most important combat force; they can’t waste even a bit of stamina."

Zhao Chi asked: "Then why did you go help?"

Gu Gu Qingjiao said softly: "I am a hero, and I’m the oldest, so naturally I should take care of those little sisters more."

Zhao Chi gave a thumbs up and entered praise mode again.

"Oh my, stop praising me, I’ll get carried away." Gu Gu Qingjiao laughed happily.

At the same time.

In the proctoring space.

The instructors were carefully observing the students they were responsible for.

Several instructors disappeared and reappeared shortly after.

They had gone to rescue students who encountered danger.

Li Yin sighed: "Sigh, I said it, starting from this third stage, we need to be on our toes. Sure enough, these students almost got into trouble."

Qi Yue Chong shook his head: "Your Class 9 is still doing okay. Look at our Class 3; I’ve said so many times in class that development needs to be balanced. Those who go to extremes have too narrow a response range. There are still a few who didn’t listen. Well, now they’ll learn their lesson."

Zhang Zhang Shouning smiled: "It’s not bad if they can learn a lesson. After all, they only lost some territory residents; the loss isn’t big."

Chang Chang Miaoxuan said: "That’s right, you only know the pain after experiencing it yourself."

Qi Yue Chong said: "You guys say it easily, my bonus is going to be deducted."

Zhang Zhang Shouning smiled: "It’s fine, even if the scholarship is deducted, Xiao Liu from your Class 3 can earn it back for you."

Qi Yue Chong said: "It’s fine if others say it, but when you say it, it sounds like showing off. Yuan Zhao from your class is basically in the top 3 again this time."

Zhang Zhang Shouning shook his head: "Hard to say. Zhou Lue, Hua Hua Yuyin, Pei Pei Yuanxiu, as well as You Yu and Qi Xue, are all very strong."

Qi Yue Chong said: "You’ve mentioned everyone, but you just won’t mention Xiao Liu from our Class 3, right?"

Pang Zhangming said: "You didn’t mention Wei Wei Jinlong from our Class 8 either."

Li Yin said: "Stop arguing, you guys. Li Li Ruanyu hasn’t spoken yet. If we’re talking about who’s the most wronged, it’s her. The strongest in Class 4 was harmed by those nobles, and now there’s no one left to hold up the class."

Zhang Zhang Shouning nodded: "That’s true, Instructor Li, you should report this to the chief instructor. After all, the class division was based on strength. Now that the strongest in your class has been lost, you’ve even got a drag who suffered a brain injury."

Li Yin asked: "What was the name of that one with the brain injury?"

Li Li Ruanyu said: "It doesn’t matter, my bonus isn’t important. In our class, it’s Zhao Chi who suffered a brain injury, but he’s been progressing very quickly now."
