Seeing the name at the top of the leaderboard and the results beside it, all of the students were stunned.
Ling Jiu had completed the ad-hoc mission and gotten 2 million points. Everyone had heard of it, and they knew that, provided there were no other surprises, Ling Jiu would take first place this week.
However, no one had expected Ling Jiu’s results to reach such a terrifying level.
“Number One: Ling Jiu, 4 million.”
Four million!
A whole 4 million!
How did he get that?
“The two million bonus points aside, Ling Jiu still had another two million points? Good lord, he had actually earned that many points?”
“He had killed 200 Class 6 Direbeasts in three short days, is he still human?”
Everyone’s shock was even more compounded. Two million points itself was a terrifying number, but one could just look at the rankings that followed.
“Number Two: Zhou Ji, 1.54 million.”
“Number Three: Hirano Hatake, 1.49 million.”
“Number Four: Christopher Adam, 1.29 million.”
Zhou Ji, who ranked second, only got 1.64 million points, the third-placed Hirano Hatake only got 1.59 million, while the fourth only had 1.29 million.
Clearly, due to the impact of the ad-hoc mission, be it Zhou Ji, Hirano Hatake, or Christopher Adam, all of their results were negatively affected.
This was understandable!
The question was, Ling Jiu too was affected by the ad-hoc mission, but why his results did not decrease but instead increased more than before?
He only had 1.54 million last week, and this week it soared all the way to 2 million points. How did he do it?
“That is to say, even without the 2 million bonus points, Ling Jiu could have gotten first place this week?”
“Amazing!”
“Ling Jiu only ranked ninth on the first week with 615,000 points and ranked third in the second week with 1.54 million points. He shot up to 2 million points straight away this week. His rate of progress is just too terrifying!”
“Unless he had been hiding his strength, this rate of improvement is just…”
The students were all full of shock and admiration. Before the release of the results, some people still disapproved of him, thinking that Ling Jiu’s rise to the top was due to the ad-hoc mission.
But now, no one would think so!
For him to be able to get 2 million points while being affected by the ad-hoc mission.
If he was not affected by the ad-hoc mission, how strong could he be then?
Coupled with Ling Jiu’s resounding victory over Christopher Adam, his position in the hearts of the students had reached an incredible level!
If Zhou Ji and Christopher Adam were the focus of discussion among the students two weeks ago, then from now on, Ling Jiu had taken their place.
“How did that guy progressed so quickly?”
Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling’er who had arrived not too long ago too looked at Ling Jiu. Their beautiful eyes were full of astonishment and even a hint of being convinced.
To be honest, before coming to the camp, while they had regarded Ling Jiu as a friend, they did not think Ling Jiu was stronger than them.
They were the most talented geniuses of Chang’an Base City, which was best proven by their entrance into the super training camp without taking needing to compete.
But now…
“But I won’t lose to you!”
Ai Yuhe clenched her pinkish fist as a powerful fighting spirit appeared in her beautiful eyes. “I will defeat you one day!”
“With Ling Jiu’s rate of improvement, beating him will be a pipedream!”
Yang Ling’er sighed. “Although I had not known him for long, I can tell that that guy is not only talented, he is also a training freak!”
“He doesn’t surf the web, he doesn’t engage in needless banter, he doesn’t play games, he doesn’t drink and play… He totally has no distractions as he places all of his focus in training, just like an ascetic monk!”
“With his amazing perseverance, and firm determination, this sort of character, plus a talent that is no weaker than ours, the gap between him and us will only get bigger and bigger!”
“Damn you, Ling’er, how dare you look down on me!”
Ai Yuhe was embarrassed to the point of anger, yet she did not know how to refute as all of these seemed to be the truth. She looked at Ling Jiu, and then back at herself.
Net surfing, shopping, chatting, beauty treatments, games… Was there one that she did not sink her hands into?
Talent?
She was no worse than Ling Jiu!
Her mind, however?
It seems like it’s beyond comparison!
“In any case, I won’t admit defeat so easily!”
Ai Yuhe snorted and stared at Ling Jiu’s back. “If I cannot catch up to him in this life… I… I’ll…”
“Then you’ll what?”
Yang Ling’er teased.
“I will marry him!”
Ai Yuhe was forced to a corner and blurted that out.
Dush!
Yang Ling’er chuckled, and Ai Yuhe’s petite face flushed as she then pounced and fought Yang Ling’er.
“You brat….”
“Ling Jiu, you’re really amazing!”
Shi Gang looked at Ling Jiu with admiration. “I did not expect you had even overtaken Zhou Ji who had been number one for two straight weeks!”
“I was lucky!”
Ling Jiu smiled. “Let’s go back to the dorm!”
“Yeah.”
The two left the central plaza under the watchful eyes of all of the students.
After walking a distance, Shi Gang could not help but snigger. “Ling Jiu, did you notice, the girls were looking at you weird just now!”
“Is that so?”
Ling Jiu raised his eyebrow.
“Of course!”
Shi Gang was sure. “This is the era where the strong are respected. No matter where you go, the strong would be the focus of all, and the training camp is no exception!”
“You may not have noticed, but the eyes of the girls looking at you were scorching hot, especially those European and American girls who are much more open and bolder did not even conceal their admiration and love for you. I believe if you want to do anything with them, they’ll be happy to oblige, hehehe!”
Shi Gang winked with a perverted expression on his face.
“I’m not interested in foreign broads!”
Ling Jiu shook his head. “Their skin is too rough, and their body odor’s too strong!”
“It’s a pity you don’t like foreign broads!”
Shi Gang was speechless. “But I still have to remind you that all of the training camp students like to socialize with one another, and many of the opposite sex even ended up as husband and wives. Do you know why that is?”
“Why?”
Ling Jiu could roughly guess the reason.
“Simple!”
Shi Gang said, “All of the students who can come to the super training camp are very talented, and they could be Level 6 or 7 Arcanist at the very least. They are powerful, and with the same class, and good genes to boot!”
“So, whether you consider it from your own perspective, or for the next generation, it is undoubtedly the best choice to pick a partner from the opposite sex in the training camp!”
“This is the power pairing!”
Shi Gang said with an expression of knowing. “After all, the chances of Arcanist offsprings to awaken their Arcana is many times higher than normal people, and many outstanding Arcanas can even be passed onto one’s offspring. This is a globally recognized fact!”
“So, according to you, looking for a partner in the super training camp is the best choice!” Ling Jiu seemed to be tempted.
“You think?”
Shi Gang said excitedly. “So, you have to seize the opportunity. With your strength and talent, finding a girlfriend in the training camp is just too easy!”
“I’ll think about it!”
