Chapter 140

Not long after.

Jiang Churan, with a slender figure and an ancient long sword on her back, also appeared at the entrance of the Silver Secret Realm.

Her beautiful appearance and slender, moving figure made some young girls around secretly envious, and some hot-blooded male students blushed and immediately looked away.

Walking out of the dungeon, she also quickly discovered Zhou Yi in the distance.

However, unlike Shen Lingfeng, having witnessed Zhou Yi's strength, she naturally knew that he had cleared the dungeon faster than her.

"Brother Zhou Yi really cleared it faster than me."

With a charming smile on her pretty face, Jiang Churan took long strides and quickly approached that side.

Time passed quickly, and soon, all the students participating in the Freshman Grand Competition exited the Bear Monster dungeon and gathered on the playground.

There were also some who were seriously injured and were taken away for treatment by the medical team that had been waiting on the side.

Seriously injured, the second stage of the Freshman Grand Competition was also almost out of reach for them.

All the freshmen were present on the playground, and on the ceremonial platform, Wu Mang also stood up from his seat.

Walking to the front of the platform, he said:

"The first stage of the Freshman Grand Competition is officially over. Next, the clear times and rankings will be released!"

Hum~~~

Under the projection of the drones.

In mid-air, a huge list recording the clear times and rankings of many freshmen slowly condensed:

[First Place: Zhou Yi, dungeon clear time 12 minutes 16 seconds, bonus stage clear time 1 minute 12 seconds]

[Second Place: Jiang Churan, dungeon clear time 13 minutes 35 seconds, bonus stage clear time 6 minutes 42 seconds]

[Second Place: Shen Lingfeng, dungeon clear time 14 minutes 23 seconds, bonus stage clear time 7 minutes 12 seconds]

In mid-air.

The holographic virtual leaderboard projected by the drone was huge, with various decorative patterns on the edges, looking very luxurious.

The top fifty were specially marked to show the difference.

And the top three at the very top of the leaderboard were much larger and more conspicuous than ordinary names!

Among them, as the first place, Zhou Yi, the name was the largest, and the whole body emitted a brilliant and dazzling golden yellow.

"Zhou Yi is actually first?!"

Shen Lingfeng's face sank.

The cold murderous aura that was emitted involuntarily made the special recruit from the same high school next to him stiffen, and he said sheepishly:

"This... this wouldn't be a mistake, right?"

"Suhang University never makes mistakes in such matters."

Shen Lingfeng narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhou Yi's terrifying clearance time, only feeling incredibly dazzling.

"12 minutes 16 seconds and 1 minute 12 seconds, actually surpassed me by so much."

"Zhou Yi, no matter how you did it."

"In the next second stage of the competition, I will fiercely step you under my feet!"

A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Always arrogant, when had he ever suffered such grievances?

Not only was the college entrance exam top scholar title taken away, but now even the first place in the freshman competition was also taken away!!

The glory of the eight great families of Jiangning also did not allow him to lose to such a guy from the barren north!!

"Freshman second place, it seems you are more powerful than Shen Lingfeng, but why did you come out of the dungeon after him?"

Regarding his first ranking, Zhou Yi was not surprised.

After all, when he came out of the dungeon, there was not a single freshman on the playground.

But Jiang Churan, who came out of the dungeon after Shen Lingfeng, actually ranked above him.

"Maybe it's because I spent some time picking up equipment."

Jiang Churan explained with a smile.

"Spent some time picking up equipment? That shouldn't be, plus the additional level, only two pieces of equipment exploded in total."

Zhou Yi wondered.

And picking up equipment only requires putting the equipment into the backpack space, which doesn't take any time at all.

"Hey, did you only explode two pieces of equipment? I exploded five pieces."

Jiang Churan's eyes smiled into crescent shapes.

Just identifying the types and abilities of these pieces of equipment through Appraisal took her at least two minutes.

Zhou Yi: "..."

Damn lucky person!

"Indeed worthy of being the default freshman first place! This gap is really too big!"

"I once watched his college entrance exam dungeon clearance video, he is a powerful Paladin who takes the violent route, I thought he would have insufficient stamina after a month.

Now it seems, he is still the freshman first place!"

"Tsk tsk, the additional level actually only took 1 minute and 12 seconds to clear, how on earth was this done?"

"..."

Accepted the beating of the Bear Monster dungeon.

These genius freshmen from all over the country also found that their strength was roughly the same as the ranking divided by Suhang University, and the difference was not big.

So, they began to turn to discuss the top-ranked figures.

Zhou Yi, as the default freshman first place, now regained first place in the freshman competition.

Naturally, it was full of gold content and became the object of discussion and emotion for many freshmen.

However, they were also very curious about how Zhou Yi completely annihilated the Bear Monster Wraith that could be resurrected 10 times within a short 1 minute and 12 seconds.

"Holy crap?! What's the situation! Zhou Yi is still first place!"

"12 minutes 16 seconds and 1 minute 12 seconds, hiss, too fierce!"

"It's outrageous, those who said he went to be extravagant this month, stand out, I'll give you a hammer immediately!"

Seeing the ranking, many special recruits also understood one after another.

It turned out that Zhou Yi was not addicted to extravagance, but very likely went to participate in some secret training.

"I just said Brother Yi couldn't possibly degenerate."

Mixed in the crowd, Wang Li, who had once sold services to Zhou Yi at the special admissions meeting, was also full of smiles.

His strength was good, and he improved his ranking by about 4 places through this competition.

In other words, if he could hold his ranking in the next second stage, he could get an extra 200 credits of progress reward.

Of course, if he successfully challenged a higher ranking, the credits he would get would be even more!

Of course, some people progressed, and some people regressed.

Among the special recruits, many fell from their original rankings.

There were even some top fifty rankings occupied by ordinary freshmen...

"The first stage of the freshman competition is over, next, the second stage of the freshman competition, the free challenge match, officially begins!"

"Everyone has three challenge opportunities, and after each challenge, there is a 5-minute rest period!"

Rumble!!!

Under the control of the Element Academy Dean, the Silver Secret Realm gate behind the playground slowly disappeared.

With the disappearance of the secret realm gate, the originally flat playground ground suddenly unfolded one after another pitch-black holes, and 20 competition platforms slowly rose from them.

Each competition platform was 10 meters x 10 meters in size, very standard.

Unlike ordinary competition platforms, this competition platform was entirely constructed of magic machinery.

Through the gaps in the pitch-black coating on the surface, one could also see the faint blue energy fluctuations flickering within.
