Chapter 139: Wait and See? Leaderboard Changes!

And among the many teachers,

Cheng Hongyi occasionally looked up, gazing at a name in the corner of the leaderboard.

And his demeanor,

was noticed by the other teachers.

One teacher found it strange.

He glanced at the leaderboard,

noticed that Li Mengying's name was in the upper left, and stepped forward to remind him.

"Old Cheng, isn't Li Mengying from your class right here? What are you looking at?"

"I know."

Cheng Hongyi said without turning his head.

The teacher was even more surprised: "If you already know, why are you still paying attention to someone else?"

"Aren't there no other students in your class who awakened a high-star talent besides Li Mengying?"

The teacher continued.

Cheng Hongyi glanced back at him, then turned away again: "Who says I can't pay attention to other students? Just watch—this year's Gaokao trial might produce a dark horse!"

"Dark horse?"

Hearing this, the teacher burst out laughing.

He followed Cheng Hongyi's gaze and saw the name the man had been fixated on… Jiang Li.

"Jiang Li…"

"I remember—he awakened as a one-star class, right? You think… he'll become a dark horse?"

"Of course!" Cheng Hongyi nodded firmly.

Even now, recalling the Goblin Camp that felt like the World of Ice and Snow, he still felt boundless shock… a newcomer wielding at least a Gold-rank weapon—his family background must be unimaginably terrifying.

And

just yesterday,

he heard something else!

"Jiang Li…"

"Level ten…"

Looking at Jiang Li's name on the leaderboard, Cheng Hongyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Coincidentally,

the receptionist at the Transmigration Temple who had handled Jiang Li yesterday—was his sister-in-law.

And when his sister-in-law casually mentioned it after her shift last night, Cheng Hongyi was utterly stunned.

He pressed her for details.

After confirming Jiang Li's school affiliation once again from his sister-in-law,

Cheng Hongyi couldn't sleep all night!

Newcomers reaching Level ten before the Gaokao… in past years, there were only a handful!

And each one, without exception, possessed extremely high talent, combined with immense family resources—only then could they reach Level ten in such a short time.

Cheng Hongyi simply could not imagine.

What kind of family resources would a one-star warrior need to level up so rapidly!

"A dark horse with a one-star class?"

"And all alone!"

While Cheng Hongyi had full confidence in Jiang Li, the teacher beside him shook his head in disbelief: "I'd like to see what score this Jiang Li ends up with!"

…

…

Dark Forest Dungeon.

Jiang Li moved through the Shadow World.

To increase speed, he had specifically switched to the Wind of Nature Longbow, using its +15% movement speed effect to offset half the speed penalty from Shadow Step.

"Li Yun, hold aggro!"

"Don't let this Shadow Panther get close!"

"…"
