"The enemy will appear shortly, countdown from 10...1, begin!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the end of the vast corridor, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly erupted; one after another, figures sprang from the darkness, their eyes filled with intent to kill, charging towards Li Yuan.
"For the preliminary round, one can adjust their Physical Quality voluntarily, I've chosen level 20," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "By the looks of it, these opponents seem to be only level 18, and their skills are weak... too weak."
"Let's get this over with quickly and not waste time." Li Yuan's figure flashed, and he lunged forward with great speed.
He charged straight at those figures, the level 18 Physical Quality increasing their speed.
Li Yuan suddenly exerted his strength, followed by a myriad of spear shadows blooming, exploding like stars bursting.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" It was as if he were reaping wheat. .net
These figures, whether wielding Combat Sabers, Long Spears, or shields, all their bodies exploded, blood splashed everywhere, and none could block Li Yuan.
Even those with shields were pierced and killed by Li Yuan with a single spear thrust through their shields.
Boom! Li Yuan, like a bolt of lightning, charged to the end of the corridor, waiting for the group of opponents to respawn.
"Pfft!" Figure after figure fell, and he killed each one as soon as they respawned.
"Contestant 'Li Yuan', your score has reached 4,000 Points. Congratulations on passing the virtual combat preliminary," a system prompt suddenly flashed.
"4,000 Points?" Li Yuan glanced at his score, "That's enough."
Phew! With a thought, Li Yuan chose to forfeit, leaving the combat space, and returned to reality.
He continued practicing with his spear.
"The eldest senior brother has logged off."
"It seems that the eldest senior brother, like Jin Huguo, is planning to burst out later."
"Mhm, it's right to hide their strength now." Many newcomers from the Sixth Institute murmured softly amongst themselves.
Time ticked away, second by second.
One contestant after another from around the globe entered the combat space, continuously making their moves.
Occasionally, the Points leaderboard would refresh, but there was still no high-score players surpassing 100,000 Points.
It wasn't until nearly eleven o'clock.
Whoosh! On the Spectator Platform of the combat space, in an inconspicuous corner, a figure in purple garments suddenly appeared.
He caught sight of the leaderboard high in the sky at a distance.
"Li Yuan, Yin Man, all of you really look down on the preliminaries, huh? Probably holding back fiercely, for fear that others will know your true strength," the purple-clad youth muttered to himself with a smile, "It's so late now, these guys should all have made it through."
"You look down upon it, so let the title of 'Preliminary King' belong to me.
"Being the Preliminary King is still being a king!"
The youth in purple summoned the will to fight and chose to join the battle.
... Merely twelve minutes later, within the combat space where the number of contestants had already dwindled to over three hundred thousand, an uproar suddenly erupted.
"Dantai Feng's name has shot into the top hundred and is still rapidly climbing," many people noticed the fluctuations on the leaderboard, as well as that name continuing to rise.
"Into the top twenty now."
"He's climbing too fast, he's already surpassed 90,000 Points."
"First place! He's first now."
"He's surpassed 100,000 Points."
"200,000 Points!!" Waves of exclamations kept rising.
Everyone watched, wide-eyed, as Dantai Feng surged to the first place at an astonishing pace, eventually halting at a terrifying score of '310,000 Points,' leading the second place by more than 200,000 Points in a cliffhanger.
Students from Martial Path universities all over the world fell completely silent.
At this moment, a vast number of students around the globe remembered that name—Dantai Feng.
