In the midst of the conversation, all the students’ melancholy dissipated like smoke and clouds.
In fact, many people were focused on Ye Xuan’s abilities.
But such a disgraceful defeat was enough to prove how weak this so-called strongest newcomer really was!
This made everyone present look down upon Ye Xuan.
"Hou Yuntian, Chen Hao, Xu Rongrong, these geniuses will surely be very happy when they come out later."
"How could they not be happy? This not only drags Ye Xuan’s reputation through the mud but also those deans who handled the preliminary rankings!"
"Just look, between Chen Hao and Hou Yuntian, who exactly lost and who won?"
As the saying goes, speak of the devil and he shall appear.
As the voices of a group of freshmen rose, instance doors number two, three, and four lit up, accompanied by a familiar teleportation force.
A haughty Hou Yuntian appeared before everyone, with a small white dragon perched on his shoulder, exuding pride.
Clearly, he had passed the test with the help of a powerful Four-winged Thunder Dragon!
"Ah!" a cry of astonishment came.
"The strongest is Hou Yuntian!"
"Chen Hao is next in line!"
"Xu Rongrong is the last one!"
"Fang Taoran ranks third!"
However, this did not surprise anyone.
"Brother Bai, congratulations on securing the championship!"
"Brother Bai, you are truly amazing! Moreover, you came out ahead of Chen Hao and the others all by yourself, which shows that your cultivation has already surpassed any of them!"
Initially, he thought he was surely going to lose, but then, when his two sidekicks, Bi Dejiang and Tong Jiajia, came to greet him.
Suddenly, a proud smile appeared on his face.
My dragon clan is invincible in the world!
Xu Rongrong is nothing!
Chen Hao’s face turned dark as he watched the pompous display.
He turned his head, his cold gaze falling on Tang Wan, whose face was turning slightly green, filled with reproach.
During the BOSS phase, in order to rescue Tang Wan, he was utterly unable to stop this mechanical Minotaur’s summoning.
Thankfully, Chen Wei was clever. As an Assassin, he immediately rushed towards the terrifying alien queen and interrupted her spell.
But even so, over twenty elite monsters were still released.
In the end, Chen Hao had no choice but to unleash his S-ranked ultimate.
A power that increases all attributes by 300% for 120 seconds but leaves you weakened afterwards.
This ability also depends on the abilities of other professions.
The drawback is clear, after 120 seconds, he would turn into a normal human and stay that way for 5 minutes.
If he couldn’t get out of the current situation within 120 seconds, he would be eliminated from the competition.
Luckily, the BOSS was taken down within ten seconds.
Yet, as they breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn’t help but start blaming Tang Wan again.
Luo Tao, Chen Wei, and Feng Yuanyuan were whispering among themselves.
Even Chen Hao was looking at Tang Wan with disdain at this moment.
If it weren’t for his attempt to save someone, they surely could have completed the mission earlier.
Seeing this scene, Tang Wan also secretly sighed in her heart.
Perhaps because the previous challenges were too easy.
So, all the team players were fiercely attacking, completely neglecting her role as a support,
Since team battling distributes based on DPS, except for the support system.
In instances and secret realms, the experience and rewards for secondary professions are limited.
If all supports were judged based on output, then no one would choose to be a support.
It was because of their recklessness that the monsters found an opportunity to seize Tang Wan.
Clearly, everyone is pushing the blame of failure onto him, but he couldn’t deny it.
The feeling of being despised made her very uncomfortable.
It reminded her of that person who, riding a giant beast, always stood in front of her.
He had never expected that Ye Xuan would lose in this diamond-level instance.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Teachers!"
"Shall we announce the results of this test?"
In the empire’s laboratory, more than half of the students had already come out from the academy.
It was then that Hou Yuntian revealed a smug smile and walked over to the many deans and instructors.
His demeanor was like that of a ruler presiding over the world.
He was inherently a very proud warrior.
He relished the thrill of facing strong opponents.
Speaking, he gave Ye Xuan a slight smile and said:
"Ye Xuan, sorry, but you lost too early."
"If you had tried harder, perhaps you could have surpassed me and become the champion of the first year."
This statement was very sarcastic.
"Haha! Brother Bai, stop joking, no matter how hard Ye Xuan tries, he’s not as capable as you!"
"That’s right! You alone can win, you’re much stronger than both Chen Hao and Xu Rongrong!"
"What? Why do I feel that those deans and instructors are all looking at Brother Bai with a strange gaze?"
The crowd of people who worshipped Hou Yuntian had initially planned to continue supporting him.
However, it didn’t take long.
He sensed something was off.
The principals and teachers at that moment were all looking at Hou Yuntian with mocking eyes.
They were all too familiar with it.
This feeling was like looking at a fool.
In the past, when they looked at high school students, they had the same expressions.
As the champion of this competition, shouldn’t he be receiving a lot of praise from the deans and teachers?
Chen Hao, Xu Rongrong, and Fang Taoran were all baffled.
"Interesting, young people these days have become so arrogant."
"But, if you are all in a rush to check the rankings..."
Director Liu Boming turned his head to look at everyone.
He waved his hand grandly.
The holographic screen that was showing the video of the freshmen’s challenge suddenly changed!
The data on the rankings flowed down the screen like running water!
Upon seeing the rankings clearly, everyone present drastically changed their expressions!
On the big screen, in the forefront of the rankings, was Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan, once again, had pushed Hou Yuntian’s name down!
[Student Name: Ye Xuan; Personal challenge. Completion Time: 2 minutes 07 seconds, Grade: SSS, Rank: 1.]
[Student Name: Hou Yuntian; Mode: Single Combat. Completion Time: 8 minutes 52 seconds, Grade: SS, Rank 2.]
[Student Name: Chen Hao; Mode: Team Battle. Final Completion Time: 9 minutes 03 seconds.
"This..." Everyone was stunned.
Hou Yuntian’s eyes widened, his mind going blank.
