Chapter 503: Is an SS-rank ability this strong? Ranking soars!

"At this rate, the results of the four of us

will be enough to pass the preliminary round and advance to the second stage of the Peak Match."

In the city streets of Competition Zone 73, a group of four Awakened walked along, chatting and laughing.

They were either carrying battle blades or carrying shields on their backs, their expressions very casual.

Of course, all four of them were Rank 5 Awakened.

The tallest one had even reached the peak of Rank 5.

Such a four-person team was enough to walk sideways in Competition Zone 73.

"Don't let your guard down. Although the four of us have decent strength, it won't be pleasant if we encounter a Rank 6 Awakened."

The leader, a youth at the peak of Rank 5, said in a deep voice.

"Brother Yuan, isn't that the reason we teamed up, to worry about such situations?"

One of the tall and thin youths replied, "With the strength of the four of us, although we can't kill a Rank 6 Awakened,

a Rank 6 Awakened can't easily kill us either!"

The preliminary round did not forbid teaming up, so as the match progressed to the later stages, many contestants chose to act in teams.

After all, there were 100 spots to advance, so even if they teamed up, there was no conflict of interest.

"Besides, where would there be so many Rank 6 Awakened?"

The tall and thin youth shook his head and smiled, "The average age of Rank 6 Awakened in our Daxia is 32.

Rank 6s under 27 are pitifully few. We have 100 competition zones in Daxia.

It would be good if there were 10 Rank 6 Awakened in each zone."

The Global Genius Exchange Match does not randomly assign competition zones but deploys contestants according to their rank.

Rank 6 Awakened can be said to be the limit that most 27-year-old Awakened can reach.

Therefore, these Rank 6 Awakened were almost evenly distributed to every competition zone.

Otherwise, if it were truly random, leading to a huge disparity in strength between zones, that would be awkward.

"That's true, but it's still better to be careful." Brother Yuan nodded, a smile also appearing faintly at the corner of his mouth.

By the seventh day of the preliminary round, those who survived were basically Rank 5 Awakened.

And with the strength of the four of them, they were enough to walk sideways among Rank 5 Awakened.

Unless they encountered a Rank 5 Awakened team with more members.

Boom!!

Just as they were talking, a loud noise suddenly rang out, and a golden "meteor" fell from a building in the distance!

The falling speed of this "meteor" was very fast; in just the blink of an eye, it crashed more than ten meters in front of them!

Boom!!

A deep pit was smashed into the ground, and dust splattered everywhere.

Immediately after, a tall and sturdy figure faintly rose from the dust.

Only then did everyone realize that this was no meteor, but an Awakened contestant!

That golden light was merely the thunder lingering around the other party's body.

"That building is at least 300 meters away from us. With one jump, he can jump this far?

It's very difficult for a Rank 5 Awakened to achieve such a long jumping distance. Could it be... a Rank 6 Awakened?!"

The four of them had solemn expressions, simultaneously activating their abilities and entering a combat state.

And at this moment, the tall figure also walked out of the dust, revealing his face.

The golden thunder flashing and jumping on the surface of his body was even more bright and dazzling.

"What is it? Just a Rank 5 upper-tier Awakened. You scared me; I thought it was a Rank 6."

The tall and thin youth breathed a sigh of relief and then teased:

"You have some ability to survive until the seventh day, but I don't understand.

Why did you appear in front of us like this? Did you come to deliver points on purpose?

Don't you think so, Brother Yuan?"

The tall and thin youth smiled and turned to look at Brother Yuan, only to find that Brother Yuan's face was already pale, filled with deep fear!

"Fart! He is Xu Jingming! Run!"

With a curse, Brother Yuan, who had already activated his enhancement-type ability, didn't look at the others and immediately turned to flee.

Rank is the most intuitive way to judge an Awakened's strength.

But some Awakened possess strength far beyond their surface rank.

These Awakened either come from top forces, possess formidable abilities,

or possess heaven-defying combat technique inheritances.

And Xu Jingming, who was exposed a while ago to possess Rank 7 Grandmaster-level combat power, undoubtedly possessed all three!

Everyone could be certain that the other party was a terrifying genius capable of entering the top 32 of the Peak Match national arena!

Ordinary Awakened, upon encountering Xu Jingming, shouldn't even think about making a move; being able to escape with their lives is already considered good.

Thus, this Rank 5 peak Brother Yuan turned and fled without hesitation.

"Damn it! Xu Jingming is actually in the same zone as us?!"

"This is a trap! Run!"

People in the outside world can determine the zone and ranking of each contestant through the Peak Match leaderboard.

But the contestants inside the zone can only see their own points and ranking.

They didn't know beforehand that Xu Jingming was actually in Competition Zone 73.

Now, prompted by Brother Yuan, everyone reacted, their expressions changing drastically as they began to run.

They were smart; all four of them fled in different directions.

"You can't escape! Doushen Doushen Shenlei!"

Xu Jingming wore a wanton smile on his face, and the violent Doushen Doushen Shenlei erupted with him as the center!

Crackle, crackle—

The brilliant golden thunder spread out; the four of them were already running fast.

But they were still caught up by the thunder and quickly swallowed!

"No!"

"I don't want to be eliminated!"

Accompanied by three screams, the three people, including the tall and thin man, were directly annihilated by the thunder and eliminated.

Only that Rank 5 peak Brother Yuan, although scorched black and severely injured to the point of death by the electricity, was not yet eliminated.

"Is this the lightning-type SS-rank ability Doushen Doushen Shenlei? Too strong, too strong..."

Brother Yuan looked with difficulty at the sturdy figure in the distance, his face showing despair.

He was the possessor of an enhancement-type A-rank ability.

Before this, although he knew SS-rank abilities were strong,

he didn't expect that the other party's simple burst of ability would beat him into this state.

More than half of his flesh and blood had carbonized, his internal organs had stopped functioning, and even his meridians had been destroyed by the thunder!

An ordinary person would definitely be dead under such injuries.

That he could still be alive was only by relying on his ability to hold on.

"Oh? There's still a survivor?"

Xu Jingming raised his eyelids, and another golden thunder was thrown out: "Die!"

Ssh!

The thunder struck Brother Yuan a hundred meters away, completely extinguishing his last bit of life, and he was eliminated.

"Name: Xu Jingming (Daxia)

Zone: Competition Zone 73

Points:

Rank: 52

..."

Xu Jingming's ranking had originally been around 100,000.

But after killing the four of them, his ranking immediately soared to 52nd!

And in the outside world, people felt joyful because of his soaring ranking! ===== CHAPTER 504 =====
