1753 I’ll Give You A Chance. Come And Challenge Me! (2)
“There’s a chance on the Freshmen Leaderboard!”
A clamor erupted beside the stone tablet of the Freshmen Leaderboard.
Many onlookers noticed that the top spot of the Freshmen Leaderboard had changed. There was a collective gasp of surprise, followed by a flurry of discussions.
“Zhulong Shan!”
“The first place is Zhulong Shan!”
“Benny became second place!”
“Who is this Zhulong Shan? What a strange name.”
“Zhulong?! I know. This is the Solar Dragon Race. It is a powerful race.”
“Solar Dragon Race? Is that the Solar Dragon Race that took over the entire Solar Dragon Territorial Domain?”
“That’s right, that’s the race. It’s said that they possess the Solar Dragon Body and are extremely powerful. Even the genius warriors of this race couldn’t resist vying for a spot on the list.”
…
Amidst the discussions, ripples spread across the surface of the ma.s.sive stone tablet. A muscular figure stepped out from within and appeared before the crowd.
The fight for the Freshmen Leaderboard was simple. They would enter the stone plates and fight with each other!
However, this battle wasn’t a real-life confrontation but a projection!
This projection, replicated through the inscription on the stone tablet, was virtually indistinguishable from the real person and was capable of unleas.h.i.+ng all the power of the person. It was amazing.
This was similar to some functions of the virtual universe.
This was done to prevent students from getting injured.
The Freshmen Leaderboard was designed to ignite compet.i.tion among the students, not for them to fight to death.
Many places could lead to death, such as the Uncharted. However, the Freshmen Leaderboard wasn’t one of them.
Of course, although the battles on the Freshmen Leaderboard were fought through replicated projections, the feeling was real.
Hence, enlightenment could still be gained.
Sometimes, battles were not solely about combat. The academy encouraged each student to compete for the Freshmen Leaderboard with the underlying intent of letting them engage in mutual combat, thereby gaining enlightenment through these battles.
After scanning the area and not finding the person he was looking for, a slight frown creased his brow. Then, he took a step forward and vanished from the spot.
“Is that Zhulong Shan?”
“He’s indeed powerful. I can’t see through him.”
“Hmph, I’m angered by the way he looks at us. He seems to be looking down on everyone.”
“Hmph, Solar Dragon Race!”
…
Everyone watched Zhulong Shan departing with different expressions. Some were solemn, some discontented, some disdainful… the reactions were varied.
Everyone present was a talented martial warrior. They had their pride so being looked down upon naturally evoked a sense of resistance within them.
Shortly after Zhulong Shan left, another pale young man emerged from within the stone tablet. After glancing around, he left in silence.
“It’s Benny.” Someone recognized the young man who walked out.
“It looks like he lost. This is unexpected.”
“I remember that Benny came from the Witch Tower Territorial Domain, right? I heard that he’s one of the top 10 in the League Of Talents. He’s very powerful. It’s surprising that he was just newly ranked first and was already pushed down.”
“This first place isn’t definite. Many people haven’t made their move so this top spot is bound to be short-lived.”
“What about Zhulong Shan?”
“Hmm… The Solar Dragon Race is powerful but there are powerful presences in the other territorial domains too. It’s hard to say.”
…
Yue Qiqiao and Treant Boret stood in the sky and frowned when they saw the ranking on the stone plate.
“That fellow is in the first place.” Yue Qiqiao shook her head.
“He’s very strong!” Treant Boret’s gaze flickered slightly.
“Oh!” Yue Qiqiao was surprised.
w.a.n.g Teng once told her that this Treant was no ordinary individual. Now, even he felt that Zhulong Shan was mighty It looked like Zhulong Shan was far from being just an average talented warrior. There was a reason for Benny’s defeat.
I wonder when w.a.n.g Teng will come out. It has been three days. Yue Qiqiao wondered to herself.
After some time, Zhulong Shan posted a message on the Seventh Stellar Academy’s internal web.
“w.a.n.g Teng, the Uncharted mission has ended. I have advanced to the cosmos stage and have climbed to the top of the Freshmen Leaderboard!”
“I’ll give you a chance. Come and challenge me!”
Arrogant and disdainful.
He seemed to be telling everyone that if w.a.n.g Teng didn’t challenge him, he was a coward.
Many people were astounded when they heard this piece of news.
Who was w.a.n.g Teng?
Needless to say, many people already knew w.a.n.g Teng. As the unparalleled talent who ascended to the Star Rankings, his arrival at the stellar academy immediately drew significant attention.
Zhulong Shan, having just secured the top spot on the Freshmen Leaderboard, directed his arrow at w.a.n.g Teng.
He even called him out personally!
For a moment, all the new and old students in the academy were attracted by this scene. Many were ready to witness the commotion.
Many people were wary of w.a.n.g Teng’s ability. They didn’t know how strong he was.
Now that Zhulong Shan had jumped out, it gave them an opportunity to test the depths of w.a.n.g Teng’s ability.
However, some people were frustrated. They felt that this was an excellent opportunity to make a name for themselves, but Zhulong Shan s.n.a.t.c.hed it from them.
Especially the top talents from the other territorial domains. They were unconvinced.
What did w.a.n.g Teng do to be able to enter the Star Rankings while they couldn’t?
These individuals initially planned to seize an opportunity to surpa.s.s w.a.n.g Teng on the Freshmen Leaderboard.
This was a good idea!
Unfortunately, after what Zhulong Shan did, he stole all the limelight. Even if they were to come forward now, the impact would likely be significantly discounted.
However…
Two days after Zhulong Shan’s words were heard, there was still no response from w.a.n.g Teng’s side.
