125: Sweep! Crush! 120,000 points, seventh place on the list of the top talents in 100 cities!

Arrogant! Conceited!

This was everyone's first reaction.

But very quickly,

this dissatisfaction turned into shock, and then finally, bewilderment.

What… is that thing?

Everyone looked up, staring blankly at the portal of light behind Su Bai; within it, a black tide seemed to surge, countless crimson eyes densely packed together, bringing with them a chilling tremor… a swarm of insects!

A swarm of insects numbering a full three hundred thousand!

As everyone was teleported to the assessment world, the sheer number of this insect swarm appeared even larger. From a distance, it looked like a constantly surging black tide!

Like monsters ready to devour anyone!

"Insects, insectoids..."

On the spot,

some Creators knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with horror. The terror of the insectoids was etched into human history; no Creator could ever forget the appearance of these creatures!

The last time an insect swarm erupted

was ten years ago!

At that time,

the Great Xia Federation alone lost at least ten thousand Creators, and several wonders of creation were completely destroyed. Including the worlds that perished, the total death toll reached an astonishing hundreds of millions!

Uncalculable!

Uncontrollable!

Unbeatable!

This was the only impression the insectoids left on the Creators. It was precisely after that insect swarm that the insectoids were listed as one of humanity's most powerful external enemies, second only to the Abyss!

Now, the insect swarm reappeared, and leading this swarm… was actually a human Creator?!!!

...Outside,

the overwhelming insect swarm also tugged at everyone's hearts.

The big shots present simultaneously changed their expressions.

If previously,

their feelings towards Su Bai were merely the appreciation of seniors for a junior, then at this moment, it transformed into the caution reserved for dangerous items!

"Truly unexpected…"

The white-haired old man's tone carried a hint of admiration, "The insectoids, which humanity has spent hundreds of years unable to subdue, actually have a day when they submit to a Creator?"

"We cannot be careless."

The Creator who had previously scolded spoke in a deep voice, "You all are not unaware of that historical tragedy…"

Hearing this,

everyone fell silent.

After a long while, someone finally broke the silence, "History is not necessarily true. If we stop moving forward out of fear, then how will humanity resist the impending Abyss?"

"After all…"

"The time until the next invasion of the Abyss is not far off."

This person's statement plunged everyone into silence again. Xia Qi, hearing this, also gradually sank into a solemn expression.

The Abyss invasion, huh… "Slime Legion, charge! Let the enemy witness your bravery!"

"Catapults, cavalry! Everyone still alive, charge forward! Not one step back! Those who disobey will be executed!"

"Descend! My most loyal kin, Mountain Titan 'Ragon'!"

Several loud roars

were drowned out by the surging sound of the insect swarm. The dozens of Creators from before, after entering the world, were eliminated in just a few seconds, leaving only a handful!

The surging insect swarm was like a ruthless machine.

No matter what tricks these Creators used, even summoning their strongest trump cards, it was all in vain, like a mayfly shaking a giant tree.

They gave their all,

but only managed to inflict slight damage on the insect swarm.

Soon,

it replenished itself again!

"Incaros."

Su Bai spoke indifferently, and Incaros, radiating holy light, appeared. Su Bai glanced at the only massive creature still struggling in the insect swarm.

The Mountain Titan 'Ragon',

its strength was quite good, actually reaching Gold Rank, barely piquing a sliver of Su Bai's interest.

However,

that was all it was.

Incaros took the command and activated Divine Speed! His figure became as swift as a ghost, and then several platinum-gold blade lights flashed across.

Arc Moon Flash!

This wasn't over yet.

Perhaps inheriting Su Bai's cautious nature, Incaros apparently felt that a single skill wasn't secure enough.

After releasing Arc Moon Flash,

he flashed a few times and unleashed Phantom Dual Blades again! The brilliant blade lights converged, forming a pale golden ball of light.

Like a laser cannon, it burst forth!

Secret Technique — Vacuum Thousand-Shatter Wave!!!

"Roar—"

Ragon, still fighting in the insect swarm, roared, but his voice abruptly cut off as the laser pierced through his chest, giving him no time to react.

He fell straight down.

Mountain Titan: You don't play fair!!!

At this point,

the last Creator was also eliminated. The light of transmission descended, and before Su Bai, the final result appeared:

You defeated all Creators and became the champion of the Imperial Capital Division!

You have qualified for the Top 100 Competition!

You gained 120,000 points! Ranking seventh on the Hundred Cities Prodigy List!

This result… Su Bai raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that 120,000 points would only place him seventh. It seemed this session of the Hundred Cities Hegemony truly gathered many prodigies.

"However… it's also because some contestants were cleared out earlier. If I had dealt with all of them, I could probably… squeeze into the top three."

"A bit of a pity."

...Outside,

the transparent screen displayed Su Bai's expression at that moment.

Instantly,

the previously eliminated contestants, indignant, gnashed their teeth and glared at Su Bai on the screen.

Damn it!

Don't be so overbearing!

I admit you're amazing, but can you at least give us a little face? If you do this, it'll be hard for us to continue at school, okay!

The eliminated contestants were full of resentment,

while the several big shots on the judging panel, on the contrary, nodded frequently, feeling that Su Bai was right.

The beautiful woman spoke, "I didn't expect such a monster to appear in this session. An insect swarm of this scale… could he be a Creator specialized in cultivating insectoids?"

"That's the only possibility. Otherwise, it would be impossible to control such a powerful race as the insectoids."

The white-haired old man nodded, "In my opinion, with the potential he has shown so far, he can at least make it into the top three!"

The beautiful woman frowned, "This is the insectoid race. Only top three? Isn't that underestimating him?"

The old man shook his head and sighed:

"It's not underestimation. In the past, I would have no doubt he had the potential to win the championship, but this session is too special. You all have seen the Fuyao Holy Son."

"You should know how terrifying he is."

As soon as these words came out,

the others immediately fell silent. The beautiful woman opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to refute, but in the end, she chose to close it.

No other reason,

it was simply that this session's Fuyao Holy Son had become terrifyingly strong.

Putting aside other things,

just that hint of chaotic aura he once exuded was enough to make him invincible among his peers, reaching a level with few rivals.

If he advanced further,

he would be fully qualified to contend for the peak of this generation!

A true god seed in the literal sense!

...The assessment ended.

It was effortless, as simple as going for a stroll and coming back.

But what was simple for Su Bai,

in the eyes of others,

was truly unbelievable!

And so,

almost immediately after Su Bai left, the headlines of major newspapers across the country simultaneously reported the news of Su Bai becoming champion and sweeping the younger generation!

Shocking! A brilliant star is rising, with dazzling stars around it. Is this the dawn of another Golden Age?

Invincible among peers! This year's top scholar of great xia, with an invincible stance, swept the younger generation and claimed the Imperial Capital Championship!

The Titan's path is already invincible, but more insectoids mean more paths! Su Bai is suspected of revealing his trump card; the previously exposed giants and zombies… were all disguises. His true trump card is the insectoid race!

The unprecedented rise of an insectoid Creator, will the future be the era of the insectoids?

Hundred Cities Hegemony, a gathering of prodigies. Who will be this year's champion? The mysterious Fuyao Holy Son, compared to this rapidly rising top scholar of great xia, who is stronger? All will be revealed in…
