Chapter 99: One Spear Seconds a Fourth Grade, All the Geniuses' Mentalities Explode!

Time returns to ten minutes ago.

A few dozen seconds before Ye Bai stepped into the 5th Dimensional Gate.

"Haha, I have 157 points!"

"I, Nangong Zheng, am number one!"

In a corner of the Primitive Forest, Nangong Zheng had just pierced two First Grade Alien Beasts to death with his spear, then glanced at the points Leaderboard and laughed out loud.

"Liu Bufan, 154 points; Xiao Huohuo, 151 points..."

"Ye Bai, he only has a pathetic 40 points!"

"I said it before, I, Nangong Zheng, will take back everything I lost this time!"

He was incomparably arrogant, as if he could already see the scene at the end of this Ranking Tournament, with countless people from Jiangcheng casting envious gazes at him.

He even imagined Ye Bai's unwilling and helpless expression at that time.

That was the treatment he, Nangong Zheng, deserved to enjoy!

Not like the day the Genius Camp started, when many people looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a complete joke.

Then Ye Bai entered.

"Huh? Ye Bai's points were cleared?"

"What's the situation? Did he run into some Fourth Grade Alien Beast, couldn't beat it, pressed the distress signal, and then got eliminated?"

Nangong Zheng soon discovered the change in Ye Bai on the Leaderboard as well.

"Pfft, how pathetic."

"If only he were near me, I could hunt that Fourth Grade Alien Beast right in front of him and tell him: what you can't do, I can!"

Unlike the people in the livestream, Nangong Zheng had no other sources of information and was certain that Ye Bai had been eliminated, so his face was full of mockery.

However, he did not stop his hunting pace.

Because Ye Bai was no longer worthy of being his rival; what he needed to do now was to completely shake off Xiao Huohuo and the others and firmly secure his status as the ace of this year's Genius Camp.

"Ye Bai points: 20"

Yet, he had only just managed to gain 6 points.

Looking at the Leaderboard again, Ye Bai had 20 points!

"How is that possible!? Ye Bai wasn't eliminated?!"

"He even got 20 points in just a few minutes?!"

Nangong Zheng's expression changed.

Although he felt it might be an accident, he still felt a faint sense of unease.

He hurriedly quickened his pace to search for new Alien Beasts.

He soon found some, and his points rose by a few more.

"Ye Bai points: 55"

On the Leaderboard, Ye Bai already had 55 points!

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Nangong Zheng lost his composure.

He realized that Ye Bai's previous points were off, and it was very likely that Ye Bai had only just entered the Dimensional Gate.

And then, in just a few minutes, he had hunted a Fourth Grade Alien Beast!

But even he, with his current Third Grade Peak Blood Qi and Major Achievement level Wave-Breaking Spear Technique, couldn't hunt a Fourth Grade Alien Beast in such a short time!

"Ye Bai must have been lucky and ran into a heavily injured Fourth Grade Alien Beast..."

"I won't be overtaken by Ye Bai, I am still number one!"

He said he didn't believe it, but in reality, he was anxious and hunted for Alien Beasts even more desperately.

"Ye Bai points: 85"

"115"

"145"

However, in the time that followed, every time Nangong Zheng checked the Leaderboard, Ye Bai's points would skyrocket!

In contrast, he himself would gain at most ten points, and at least only 1 point!

"Ah!" Nangong Zheng's mentality completely collapsed.

His eyes were bloodshot.

He could not accept the truth!

Clearly, he was in the same realm as Ye Bai, and clearly, he possessed a Major Achievement level Martial Technique that Ye Bai could never reach!

"Fourth Grade Alien Beast..."

"Right, I'll go hunt Fourth Grade Alien Beasts too!"

"A Fourth Grade Alien Beast is worth 30 points; as long as I can hunt as many Fourth Grade Alien Beasts as Ye Bai, I will still be number one!"

Finally, he decided to go all out.

Before this, he had never hunted a Fourth Grade Alien Beast, and would even take a detour if he saw one from afar.

But if Ye Bai could kill a Fourth Grade, he definitely could too!

"Ye Bai, how did he do it?!"

It wasn't just Nangong Zheng whose mentality was about to collapse.

At the same time, Xiao Huohuo was the same.

He was only a little later than Nangong Zheng in discovering the change in Ye Bai's points.

Then he made the same choice as Nangong Zheng: to increase the speed at which he acquired points.

"I am a genuine S-level Talent holder, yet I only have 20 points in ten minutes; by what right does Ye Bai have his?"

"Could it be that he has reached Rank Four? No, impossible; I can be certain that Ye Bai had not even begun Bone Tempering ten days ago. In a mere ten days, it is impossible for him to have completed Bone Tempering!"

"Could it be that the Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts inside the 5th Dimensional Gate are not strong?"

He did not feel he was weaker than Ye Bai, and even felt that by relying on his talent, in a battle between those of the same rank, he could take on two or even more Ye Bais.

Therefore, he also decided to start hunting Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts!

……

"Are they all Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts being killed..."

"My Spiritual Power is currently Third Grade; it is not as if I cannot hunt Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts..."

"Little sister, big brother will tell you that I am no worse than Ye Bai..."

On Liu Bufan's side, he also decided to go hunt Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts.

……

"Ye Bai..."

"Hmph, I knew that after ten days passed, the extent of your strength's transformation would be great!"

On Li Qingqing's side.

The young girl immediately recalled nine days ago when Ye Bai stood her up, and she felt a little emotional.

You must know, she had already bought several sets of those clothes in advance, just waiting to wear them for Ye Bai to see...

"But now, I must prove that I am not just a pretty face..."

Then she moved, also going to search for Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts.

……

"Little Brother Ye Bai, you are truly amazing..."

On Zhou Yao's side, as a prodigy in the Genius Camp second only to the four people including Xiao Huohuo, she did not go to look for Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts.

In fact, the extent of her Qi and Blood improvement was no worse than that of Xiao Huohuo, Nangong Zheng, or Li Qingqing.

However, what she was best at was not combat to begin with.

Therefore, although her points had always remained at fifth place since before Ye Bai arrived, she only had 98 points and had been overtaken by Ye Bai long ago.

"Little Brother Ye Bai, Big Sister knows much more than your little girlfriend~"

"So, is it too much to ask for Big Sister to go find you now and have you carry me?"

"Big Sister also doesn't like being on top; being under you is fine~"

Zhou Yao chose to go find Ye Bai.

She was very clear that relying on herself, it was absolutely impossible to enter the top five now.

And the gap in rewards between sixth and fifth was too large!

Don't even mention it.

Although the inside of the Dimensional Gate was very large.

Zhou Yao's luck was very good; in less than half an hour, she found Ye Bai!

"Puchi!"

Ye Bai had just found a Fourth Grade Exotic Beast at that moment.

However, to Zhou Yao's surprise, she only saw Ye Bai thrust his spear once.

With just a single thrust, he nailed that Fourth Grade Initial Exotic Beast to death!

Without any flashy moves, it was just a simple thrust, an instant kill!

"So fierce..."

Zhou Yao watched, stunned, and also became wet.

She realized that everyone had underestimated Ye Bai; over the past ten days, the latter's strength had increased by a very, very large amount.

Yet she had not expected it to have increased this much!

If he thrust that at her, wouldn't she faint on the spot?

"Little Brother Ye Bai, if you aren't in a hurry, I have some serious business I'd like to ask for your help with..."
