Chapter 191: Flowing Water Does Not Compete for the Lead (Seeking monthly votes)

Countless black metal balls also took off at the same time, each following a student, recording every kill and recording it on the leaderboard.

At the same time, a large number of black metal balls were scattered in the sky, conducting real-time monitoring of the entire Calamity Beast Park.

Meanwhile, deep in the Calamity Beast Park, in an open area that had been cleared.

"Boom boom!!"

A huge dazzling circular light ring opened a channel between the Blue Star and the other world.

"Heh~ heh~"

Countless Level 1 and 2 calamity beasts rushed out from the other world with red eyes.

"Bang bang!!"

Large shadows poured in, rushing into the forest. At the same time, in the sky around, green fighter jets were also ready.

"Bang bang!!"

"Pfft pfft~"

Once a bird-type calamity beast flew out, it was instantly blasted into a bloody corpse by the rain of bullets from the fighter jets and slammed onto the ground.

Accompanied by the entry of hundreds of thousands into the Calamity Beast Park, the Calamity Beast Hunting Competition also officially began.

……

"Pfft!!"

"Heh~ heh~"

Huo Wanyang, with his tall and sturdy build, showed a disdainful smile in the face of the charging Iron-Spiked Wild Boars. His muscles, carved like giant rocks, exerted force instantly, and the halberd over three meters long swung suddenly.

"Hoo!!"

Standing still, the fierce force swung out with the halberd, cutting through the long sky, and force was released.

It easily cut through the neck of the Iron-Spiked Wild Boar, penetrated its throat, and blood splashed.

"Bang!!"

The Iron-Spiked Wild Boar fell to the ground and died, points +1.

Huo Wanyang carried the 100-kilogram red halberd and shook his head, rushing straight to Area 2.

"The overall strength of our First Academy is the strongest. I only need to go all out for the first two days."

"Raise the total points so high that others have no hope of catching up, and then I can clock out after two days."

"Money, I'm not short of money!"

"I just want everyone to know my strength. I want to win the individual competition champion!!"

……

"Shoo~"

"Swish swish!!"

Ao Feng, wearing a silver-white combat suit, was like a ghost. Facing the pitch-black figure that suddenly pounced out of the green jungle, a cold glint was brandished.

"Pfft~"

Under his blade light, which was as fast as a phantom, a Shadow Cat hadn't even seen the prey's movement before its head was cut off, and it died spinning.

"Meow~ meow~"

"Pfft~ pfft~"

Facing the siege of several Shadow Cats, he was like a ghost, easily dodging attacks, his blade light dancing, and blood splashed on his sword.

"Too weak. I have to go to Area 2 to hunt Level 3 calamity beasts. That's the most efficient way."

Ao Feng's brain worked at high speed, secretly thinking:

"My goal is to challenge for first place. If I go all out for the first two days and the gap isn't big, I'll fight for it. If the gap is too big, I'll just withdraw and maintain the second-place position, which counts as completing the task."

Thinking this way, he shuttled through the jungle, rushing toward Area 2, while not forgetting to slash at the calamity beasts that launched sneak attacks.

The points on his body were also rising crazily.

……

In a place of broken walls, the steel bars had long since rusted, and vines were wrapped around the building, full of the traces of time.

"Pfft~ pfft~"

"Roar~"

The Mastiff-Toothed Dog, with a streamlined body like a small calf, only saw a sea of swords in front of it, like a golden snake spitting out its tongue, endless killing intent shrouded it.

The sharp claws it brandished only patted on the afterimage. The next moment, a sharp pain came from its neck, and its body couldn't help but fall to the ground and die.

Duan Chuchu, wearing a red and white combat suit, with soft features and fair skin, brandished a beautiful sword flower and looked at her points, secretly thinking:

"It's very difficult to compete for first place. Although there are many geniuses from Sichuan Province with me in the Second Academy, the overall strength of our Second Academy is still a bit short."

"Our Second Academy's goal this time is to secure third and enter second. As long as we guarantee a top-three ranking, it counts as completing the task."

……

At the same time, Li Lei of the Fourth Academy brandished a battle axe, slashing at Iron-Spiked Wild Boars. His goal was to lead the Fourth Academy to rush into the top three.

There were also the twin sisters from the Third Academy, Ruan Yu and Ruan Qian, whose goal was the top five.

"Sister, although our Third Academy doesn't have an S-level genius in the national top ten, our overall strength is not weak. Maybe we can enter the top three."

The younger twin sister, Ruan Qian, said optimistically.

"Top three, let's try to rush into the top five." Sister Ruan Yu was not optimistic.

Cangqiong Martial Arts University was the number one martial arts university in the country, and there were too many geniuses.

They were the strongest in their own provinces, but in Cangqiong Martial Arts University, there were too many people stronger than them.

Quite a few teachers in the academy had already lain flat, waiting for the next batch to pick good seedlings.

……

Meanwhile, in a huge conference room in the Chixiao Building.

More than a dozen leaders from the nine major academies sat at a huge oval pitch-black conference table.

In everyone's sight was a huge electronic screen playing a leaderboard.

【Total Point Ranking】

【1st Place: Cangqiong First Academy, Points: 1528】

【2nd Place: Cangqiong Ninth Academy, Points: 1498】

【3rd Place: Cangqiong Second Academy, Points: 1480】

【4th Place: Cangqiong Fourth Academy, Points: 1430】

【5th Place: Cangqiong Sixth Academy, Points: 400】

……

Everyone looked at the leaderboard. The total points behind each academy were constantly increasing, and almost every second, the total points would jump constantly. At the same time, in front of the leaders of each academy, a small screen was projected, which was the individual point ranking of their respective academies.

They could clearly see the points situation of each person.

A middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a purple long dress smoked and smiled, taking the lead to speak:

"The point ranking has started for five hours, and the top three have appeared."

"Our Ninth Academy has also maintained second place, and it will be about this ranking until the end."

"According to the rules summarized in previous years, the overall strength of the academy can be reflected in the first five hours."

"Academies that stably occupy the top three have a 98% probability of being able to maintain it until the end."

"Everyone, the Calamity Beast Hunting Competition might already be over!"

A scholarly middle-aged man not far away also showed a confident smile:

"That's right, the result is already out. Our First Academy is going to win the final championship."

Others didn't object after hearing this.

At this time, Vice Dean Xu Wenji spoke slowly:

!

"Don't be anxious. The hunting competition has just begun. The result will only be clear two days later."

"Even if there is a 98% probability that it won't change, there is still a 2% probability. We just need to watch quietly."

Everyone nodded and put their eyes back on the leaderboard.

Liu Yuanzhang, not far away, didn't make a sound at this time, but silently looked at the leaderboard in front of him.

Lin Qi's ranking was at the top of the Sixth Academy, pulling away from others, but the points of the others were a bit too far behind.

He looked at the live broadcast projected in front of him, in which Lin Qi, wearing a black combat suit, wielded a black long spear, killing Iron-Spiked Wild Boars, Mastiff-Toothed Dogs, and other calamity beasts with ease.

Liu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Qi's leisurely appearance and inexplicably remembered the actual combat training camp in Tianhai City.

"Lin Qi, this kid, wouldn't he still be wearing gravity rings, waiting to exert his strength at the end?"

He frowned when he thought of this. The Calamity Beast Hunting Competition wasn't held for only six hours, but for two days and more, a full 41 hours.

If he exploded on the last day, there wouldn't be enough time at all.

Moreover, this time the opponent is not Chen Li, that S-rank genius ranked in the top 20 nationwide.

But Huo Wanyang, Ao Feng, and Duan Chuchu, these geniuses in the national top ten.

Although he wasn't very optimistic about Lin Qi's choice, he wasn't particularly anxious either.

"Lin Qi still has talent. It's only been a month since school started; it's normal to not be able to compare."

"Flowing water does not compete for the lead, what it competes for is the endless flow. After a few months, Lin Qi's strength should catch up."

He had already prepared himself mentally. He set his psychological expectation for this team competition very low, as long as the ranking was maintained in the top five and didn't fall.

……

"Hoo~"

Under the scorching sun, the temperature was above 35 degrees. In the broken walls, the smell of earth and fishy stench permeated.

"Heh~ heh~"

"Roar~"

"Pfft~ pfft~"

With a streamlined body like a small car, pitch-black all over, and a sharp single horn, the Single-Horned Black Pig looked at Lin Qi not far away with a cruel expression.

In an instant, its hooves stepped on the muddy ground, leaving footprints, its body leaped into the air, and the sharp single horn on its head cut through the long sky.

"Bang!"

Lin Qi, with his tall and straight figure, wielded the black long spear in his hand without looking back. Cold light flickered, and the wind whistled.

"Pfft~"

A bright red bloodstain instantly appeared on the neck of the Single-Horned Black Pig, and blood splashed out.

"Bang!!"

Its body was blasted away, slamming heavily onto the broken cement wall, smashing a large piece, and the thick smell of blood permeated.

Lin Qi looked at this scene with a blank expression.

At the beginning of the year, facing the Single-Horned Black Pig, he needed to go all out.

Before the college entrance examination, he could kill it with 60% of his strength.

Now he could kill the Single-Horned Black Pig casually.

His strength had improved tremendously.

"Beep!"

Lin Qi pressed the yellow button on the smart watch, and two green screens were projected in front of him.

The first was the overall list, and the second was the individual point list of the Sixth Academy.

"Cangqiong First Academy is far ahead, Cangqiong Ninth Academy is following closely, and Cangqiong Second Academy is maintaining third place."

"Our Sixth Academy is indeed in fifth place, just as I guessed."

Lin Qi looked at the overall ranking, which was exactly the same as they had planned before.

Then he looked at the individual point leaderboard of the Sixth Academy. He was in first place.

He looked at the map again, and his figure flashed and ran toward Area 2.

"These two days, I will hunt as many calamity beasts as possible. Once Huo Wanyang and Ao Feng withdraw, I can go all out."

Lin Qi secretly made a decision in his heart.

……

Time passed quickly, and nine thousand students from the nine major academies launched a crazy slaughter in the Calamity Beast Park.

Tens of thousands of calamity beasts were killed every day, but countless Level 1 to 3 calamity beasts were released from the other world.

And although the points of each academy on the total point leaderboard were rising crazily, the overall ranking was unusually stable.

The top three were as stable as a rock, without any changes.

"This time our First Academy can be sure to be in first place."

A student from the First Academy showed a proud smile after seeing the ranking.

Deep in the forest, Li Zehao, who had just killed a Shadow Cat, also grinned:

"Signing up for Cangqiong First Academy was indeed the right choice."

"Even if Lin Qi is the Chief of the Sixth Academy, so what? The rewards of the First Academy are enough to smooth out the gap between us."
