Chapter 92

At this moment, most of the students on the planet's surface had stopped what they were doing and began checking their rankings on the points leaderboard.

Chen Mengxuan had just taken down a Dark Flame Leopard and, full of anticipation, opened the leaderboard. Sure enough, she found her name at the top! Even the famous geniuses from Wu Yan Military Academy had to rank below her, and a delighted smile instantly appeared on her beautiful face.

However, her good mood did not last long. She had just noticed that although those guys were ranked behind her, the points gap was not significant, only a few tens of thousands at most.

For true experts, such a points gap was nothing; it could be quickly caught up.

Especially the second-place Oubotanding, from the Ice Age Military Academy, who was also a fourth-stage mobile warrior. Although his strength was slightly inferior to hers, his current points were only less than three thousand behind hers!

This clearly did not satisfy Miss Chen. In her expectations, she should have far outpaced these guys, with a gap so large that they could only look up to her. That would be the most satisfying result!

"Well, there are still two days left, so there's no rush!" Chen Mengxuan consoled herself.

However, as her gaze continued to scan down, an unexpected name made her eyebrows furrow again.

"Qin Huang? How did this guy manage to climb up so quickly?" She read it three times to confirm this unbelievable result.

In the 29th position, there was a name she was extremely unwilling to see. Just a short while ago, this guy had been sparring with her.

If Hu Zhenfeng hadn't intervened unexpectedly, she would have found a way to eliminate him or force him to withdraw from the trial! Now, this guy had seized the opportunity and actually climbed to the 30th position!

Of course, she seemed to have forgotten that Qin Huang had the means to take her down with him. If she really pushed him to the limit, she wouldn't come out unscathed either.

"Anyway, it's only been 24 hours, and there's plenty of time. I don't believe you can keep being so amazing!" she thought coldly.

On the western continent of the planet, a male student with golden hair and blue eyes scrutinized the leaderboard on his optical computer, his expression grave and silent.

...

"... This damn kid, how did he manage to climb so high? He must have had a stroke of luck!" At the foot of a mountain, Xu Dezhi's face was livid as he cursed fiercely.

Zhao Hui's expression was equally ugly, and he said coldly:

"What's going on with this guy? Even if he is stronger than us, how can a mobile warrior who hasn't even broken through to the third stage have such an outstanding performance?"

After all, in this trial, there were many top students with source energy indices at the peak of the second stage, even the third stage, and there were even some fourth-stage experts!

Qin Huang's current source energy index was still lower than theirs, yet he managed to climb to the 30th position, which was a complete violation of common sense! Zhao Hui himself was only ranked 700th, Li Xueyi was 900th, and Xu Dezhi had dropped to 1,300th!

"This kid must be cheating! He must be! I'm going to report him to the authorities!" Xu Dezhi said through gritted teeth.

Li Xueyi sighed beside him: "That won't do any good, will it? The warships above are constantly monitoring! Who would believe he's cheating?"

No matter how powerful Qin Huang was, he couldn't conjure things out of thin air. All the resources he collected were gathered from the planet's surface, an undeniable fact.

The only thing that could be questioned was his excessively high efficiency in collecting resources, but there was no reason to make a fuss about it. He was just good at finding things and had good luck. What could you do about it?

Xu Dezhi said with a grim face: "We can't let this continue. We must find him as soon as possible! Otherwise, if he survives until the end of the trial, we won't have a good future!"

In his anger, he seemed to overlook a crucial issue: in a real combat environment, did he even have the qualifications to be Qin Huang's opponent?

...

"This guy is indeed not simple. In just one day, he managed to climb so high? It's really surprising!" At the southern coast, Yuan Beibei looked at the leaderboard on her optical computer, surprised and excited.

Her current ranking was 614th, which was relatively moderate given her strength. With a bit more effort over the next two days, she should be able to break into the top 500 without much trouble.

She had to thank the guy for the mech optimization plan he designed for her. Without the outstanding performance of the "Lightning Tiger" modified mech, she wouldn't have made it this far without any major issues.

She wondered if there would be an opportunity to team up with him. After all, she was on her own, and if she encountered multiple hostile students from other schools at the same time, it would still be very dangerous.

"Boss, you're amazing!" In the primeval forest, Wu De looked at the points on the leaderboard and couldn't stop smiling.

Lin Ximei, however, was a bit worried: "Those students from other schools won't come looking for trouble, will they? Some of them are good at dragging others down even if they lack the strength to do anything themselves!"

Qin Huang said: "There's no need to worry about that. With Hu Zhenfeng and the others watching out for us, ordinary people can't do anything to us!"

Even if they encountered a stronger team, they could still protect themselves. If necessary, Qin Huang could let the Wu brothers and Hu Zhenfeng travel together while he acted alone to draw the attention of those guys.

After all, their target was only him, not anyone else.

At the control panel, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was feasting on a pile of purple-striped fungi. Hearing this, she raised her head and said:

"If you act alone, you can use a piecemeal approach to eliminate them all! As long as enough of them die, they won't dare to risk their lives to fight you!"

"Of course, I believe there aren't many people who can't distinguish between right and wrong!" Qin Huang said with a smile.

On their journey, they had already cleared a vast area of the primeval forest, covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, thanks to the high-speed movement of the mechs and the efficiency of the engineering robots. To speed things up, he had borrowed a batch of engineering robots from Hu Zhenfeng's side. The mech's optical computer was powerful enough to control them without any issues.

During this time, after Qin Huang personally cleared a patch of Zhongli Yan Shui vines, he found over twenty finger-sized Floating Illusion Spirit Flower seeds inside them.

This thing, like the biological source core the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox had discovered earlier, was a rare and valuable item, especially for source energy cultivators. The military offered 900 points for each seed.

However, with the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's reminder, Qin Huang didn't plan to let others benefit from it!

He thought for a moment and decided to keep half for Qilan, and the rest would be evenly distributed among the Wu brothers, Lin Ximei, Hu Zhenfeng, and his teammates, one seed each. He had them eat the seeds on the spot to avoid detection by the warships above.

Although the trial rules prohibited students from privately keeping their spoils, the authorities often turned a blind eye to occasional snacking on the planet's surface, considering it a gray area.

This action increased Hu Zhenfeng's good impression of him significantly. He was already considering whether to form a long-term partnership with this genius. After all, once they entered the Central Military Academy, the competition would be intense, and having a powerful and well-mannered ally would be beneficial.

In the following time, the team worked closely together, killing a large number of ferocious beasts and collecting piles of valuable resources, which were then transported away by the landing ships above.

The physical condition of source energy cultivators far exceeded that of ordinary people. With sufficient medicinal support, they could go without rest for three days and three nights.

Moreover, at this point, the authorities no longer kept the data secret. The performance points leaderboard was updated every half hour and displayed in real-time on every student's optical computer.

Thus, almost everyone noticed that Qin Huang's ranking was steadily rising. Although the pace was not fast due to the large number of experts and fierce competition, it was constant! He would climb one position every hour and a half or so!

By the end of the second 24 hours, Qin Huang's name had steadily risen to 11th place, just one step away from the top ten!

At this point, someone finally couldn't hold back and took action!
