59: First place in the competition

The sudden kill left everyone in the Wood Institute feeling incredible.

Li Changkong's move was so decisive that they didn't even have time to react.

The leading man glared at Li Changkong and roared, "I think you're looking for death!"

Although they didn't know what these people were doing, they could guess that their target was also these caves.

Facing these threats, Li Changkong showed no fear on his face.

He just sneered, "If you want to die, then come over."

Li Changkong's previous move had indeed startled them.

But hearing Li Changkong's arrogant words, these people naturally couldn't let Li Changkong off easily.

The thin man suddenly lowered his body, and then his entire person disappeared from his original spot.

"The opponent should be a Shadow Assassin. The Shadow Assassin's passive skill is to become invisible for a short period of time."

Hou Wen seemed to know a lot about these things and immediately shouted.

Hearing this, Li Changkong's heart stirred.

Just then, a line of text appeared on Li Changkong's Mentor's Book.

"Shadow Strike: Within two seconds of your own time, your next attack deals double strength damage to the enemy."

Facing such a high-level skill, Li Changkong didn't hesitate and learned it immediately.

The next second, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from behind him.

The thin man who had disappeared from in front of him now appeared in front of him.

And when the thin man saw that he was about to approach the opponent, a fierce look appeared on his face.

Before the thin man's dagger could land on Li Changkong, Li Changkong's figure instantly disappeared from his original spot.

This sudden scene also left Hou Wen stunned in place, for a moment even a little unresponsive.

The attack that had already been launched now had no target.

Just as he was puzzled, a threat suddenly came from behind him, which made him turn his head sharply to look behind himself.

He saw that the disappeared Li Changkong had actually appeared behind him, with a cold, stern smile on his face.

And the long sword in Li Changkong's hand, without any hesitation, immediately landed on him.

The long sword instantly pierced through the opponent's chest, sending the opponent flying backward.

"With such little strength, you should go back and practice."

Li Changkong's voice was particularly low, making the opponent feel a hint of mockery.

But the thin man now had no chance for revenge.

He heard only a low roar, and his body crashed heavily onto the ground behind him.

His body turned into a white light, clearly losing all its Qi.

When the surrounding people saw this scene, an incredible expression appeared in their eyes.

"Are you still going?"

Then Li Changkong raised his head and looked at the remaining people.

At this moment, those people felt as if they were being stared at by a fierce beast.

Facing such a question, they dared not answer at all.

Leaderless, they scattered quickly the next second, like a disorganized mob.

Looking at the rapidly fleeing crowd, Li Changkong's eyes also showed a hint of disdain.

And the points on the thin man's body had actually reached three thousand, which surprised Li Changkong a little.

Adding the fifteen thousand points he had previously obtained, his total points had already reached eighteen thousand.

After checking the time, he found that the Novice Competition was about to end soon.

...

"How did he get these eighteen thousand points? Is he perhaps data farming?"

"The second place only has six thousand points, and he doesn't even have a fraction of that. Terrifying, this person is absolutely terrifying."

"But why is he from the Fire Institute? According to normal circumstances, he shouldn't be from the Fire Institute."

The outside world was already abuzz with discussion.

In previous Novice Competitions, the end was always extremely close.

Because with similar points, everyone wanted to compete for first place.

But this time, the further the Novice Competition progressed, the less suspense there seemed to be for first place.

Li Changkong had already gained an absolute advantage, having already left everyone else far behind.

With a flash of white light, the time for the Novice Competition had arrived.

At this moment, everyone in the Secret Realm crushed their return scrolls one after another, returning to the square.

Five or six hundred people, scattered across the square, now reappeared.

After these people appeared in the square, they immediately turned their gaze to the leaderboard.

But the moment they saw the leaderboard, everyone even wondered if they had misread it.

Because the first place on the leaderboard was a completely unknown kid, someone they had never even heard of.

What was even more terrifying was that his points were far ahead, reaching eighteen thousand.

On the leadership platform, the red-haired old man who had been sleeping on the table slowly raised his head.

Opening one eye, his gaze instantly locked onto Li Changkong in the square.

But after only a glance, he continued to sleep soundly on the table.

"Novice Competition, over!"

"Next, is the award ceremony."

Jin Buhuan, the Head of the Gold Institute, looked at everyone and announced loudly.

Upon seeing this ranking, he, too, initially thought there had been a mistake.

But after several confirmations, he was sure he hadn't made a mistake.

And when Li Changkong saw this ranking, he wasn't particularly surprised; he had already prepared himself mentally.

"Oh my god, I can't believe I made it into the top ten, I actually made it into the top ten!"

Beside him, Hou Wen suddenly let out an exclamation, shouting loudly as if he was very happy.

Under Li Changkong's leadership, he also gained quite a few points.

With these points, he entered the top ten ranks.

One must know that according to his original strength, being able to get into the top three hundred would have been a miracle.

His current top ten result was naturally a pleasant surprise.

Soon, he thought of Li Changkong beside him; he knew that without Li Changkong's help, he would never have achieved such good results.

"Good brother, I'll split half of the rewards I get this time with you. Don't decline, you've already helped me so much, and this is what you deserve."

Hou Wen looked at Li Changkong and said cheerfully.

Everyone had already started walking slowly towards the high platform according to their rankings.

On the stage, Jin Buhuan held a scroll in his hand and slowly floated in front of Li Changkong.

He looked Li Changkong up and down, then nodded.

He admired, "Indeed, a young talent."
