Lu Sheng stood quietly on the outskirts of the Heaven-Reaching Tree, watching the fierce fighting within, yet he remained motionless like a stone statue.
Time passed by slowly, and in the midst of the chaotic battle, names on the ranking list above the sky gradually turned grey.
More and more people were eliminated, including a powerful late-stage Tier Five contender who ranked in the top hundred beforehand but was inadvertently eliminated amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but the number of people within the Heaven-Reaching Tree range gradually decreased until only a few dozen remained.
On the ranking list, only a hundred names were still glowing brightly.
Among them, there were also students who did not wish to engage in the Heaven-Reaching Tree contest.
"Is it true... only a hundred people left?"
"Such an intense battle!"
Outside, the audience in the seats watching this scene couldn’t help but feel a shock in their hearts.
Especially those Tier Three students, watching the fierce battles between their Tier Five seniors, felt a surge of overwhelming emotions.
"Wait... Lu Sheng is still inside the Heaven-Reaching Mini World!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, drawing the attention of many.
They took a look and indeed saw Lu Sheng quietly sitting in a secret location.
"What is Lu Sheng planning?"
"Although there are still a hundred people left in the Heaven-Reaching Mini World, the rankings are calculated based on credits. Lu Sheng’s rank remains over seven hundred; for him to break into the top hundred..."
"He must obtain at least one Tier Six Fruit; otherwise, he may be stuck here."
"Tier Six Fruits... aren’t easy to obtain. There are still many late-stage and peak Tier Five seniors within the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s range."
"Moreover... Lu Sheng didn’t act when there were many people around; now might be too late for action!"
The crowd watched Lu Sheng’s image and began predicting, even feeling puzzled about Lu Sheng’s intentions.
They had no idea what Lu Sheng was up to.
Inside the Heaven-Reaching Mini World, Lu Sheng still sat in his secret position, but at some point, he had completely opened his eyes, looking towards the direction of the Heaven-Reaching Tree.
As the number of people in the Heaven-Reaching Mini World dropped to a hundred, the number within the Heaven-Reaching Tree range was less than a hundred.
With the reduced numbers, everyone focused on the Tier Six Fruits and immediately took action, trying to seize those Tier Six Fruits.
"The time... has come!"
A gleam shone in Lu Sheng’s eyes, and the next moment he vanished from his spot.
He transformed into a stream of light, swiftly heading towards the Divine Soul Fruit he had been watching.
In mid-air, Lu Sheng’s mind activated the Control Ring, turning it into a silver stream of light that attached to his body.
Lu Sheng perched inside the Giant Divine Soldier!
"Lu Sheng is taking action!!"
"He is trying to seize the Tier Six Treasure from the other contestants at this moment?"
"As expected, Lu Sheng is aiming for the Tier Six Treasure, but... where does he get the confidence to snatch it from so many people?"
The audience watched as Lu Sheng’s figure disappeared, flying towards the Heaven-Reaching Tree, and exclaimed in surprise.
They couldn’t understand why he hadn’t taken advantage earlier; was there truly a chance now?
Those late-stage and peak Tier Five students were all formidable opponents!
As Lu Sheng’s figure rushed forward, many people began to focus on him.
Within the Heaven-Reaching Tree range, many also noticed Lu Sheng’s presence.
"That Giant Divine Soldier... belongs to Lu Sheng?"
Someone realized, recognizing the Control Ring model and Lu Sheng’s identity.
"Hmph! A peak Tier Four, instead of cautiously seeking treasures on the outskirts, he tries to grab a Tier Six Treasure!"
"Where does he get his courage!"
In a split second, terrifying attacks from various late-stage and peak Tier Five students erupted.
The target... was Lu Sheng, who was driving the Control Ring!
The rumbling noises exploded continuously; though Lu Sheng, driving the Giant Divine Soldier, was comparable to Tier Five, he couldn’t withstand the attacks from so many powerful opponents.
Lu Sheng’s figure within the Giant Divine Soldier was engulfed by the terrifying energy storm.
The next moment, blood splattered everywhere!
As the energy storm dissipated, Lu Sheng’s figure completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.
"Hmph! A peak Tier Four, courting death!"
Someone sneered coldly without any sympathy and rushed towards the nearby fruits again.
Seeing Lu Sheng disappear, the others also quickly focused on their targets.
What they didn’t notice was a drop of pale golden blood flying through the air, finally landing on a Divine Soul Fruit.
At the same time, the audience watched Lu Sheng being swallowed by the terrifying attacks and shook their heads.
"Lu Sheng must have lost his mind, acting so recklessly? What was the point of his earlier disguise?"
"Now he’s eliminated, and his rank remains over seven hundred."
The crowd collectively spoke.
However, they had just finished speaking when a voice exclaimed again.
"Wait, Lu Sheng’s name... is still on the ranking list!"
