139: Chapter 139 Points Rewards

Rows of scarlet characters refreshed from top to bottom, starting from first place.

Everyone's gaze was instantly and firmly drawn to it.

First Place: Lin Yan — 20,376,482 Points (Total points remaining on the Fourth Level: 40 million, the protagonist took 4 million in the first minute, and the remaining 36 million were split equally among the three, 12 million each).

Twenty million, three hundred seventy-six thousand!

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone widened their eyes, staring fixedly at that number, their minds blank.

Over twenty million points?!

What kind of concept was this?

Most of them only had a few hundred thousand or a million points after the entire Dungeon run, and even the top Prodigies only had a few million.

Yet Lin Yan, alone, had taken over twenty million?

A gap!

A complete, absolute gap!

Second Place: Wen Xiaoyou — 17,762,194 Points.

Over 17 million.

The sound of gasps echoed throughout the venue.

Third Place: Jiang Ruoxue — 14,815,671 Points.

Fourth Place: Ye Guanqi — 8,984,330 Points.

Fifth Place: Karen Walker — 7,741,906 Points.

Sixth Place: ...

The subsequent rankings were still refreshing, but no one cared anymore.

Everyone's gaze was focused on that far-leading number in first place.

Over twenty million...

The crowd felt a complex mix of emotions.

Envy, jealousy, awe, helplessness... various emotions intertwined, finally turning into deep wariness toward that blood-colored figure.

...

As the point leaderboard finished refreshing, another System prompt sounded.

[Based on final point ranking, issuing ranking rewards]

[Top 10: Golden Quality Reward Pool]

[Top 100: Purple Quality Reward Pool]

[Top 1000: Blue Quality Reward Pool]

[Top 5000: Green Quality Reward Pool]

Beams of light descended from the sky, landing in front of every Contestant.

The quality of the rewards was intuitively distinguished by the color of the light beams.

Gold, purple, blue, green... clearly delineated.

Out of the ten golden beams, the Seventh Safe Zone claimed two alone—one had to know, even the First Super Safe Zone only had two.

Lin Yan stood within the golden beam of light, exceptionally eye-catching.

The golden light beam in front of him slowly converged, and three items hovered before his eyes.

The System prompt sounded simultaneously.

[Ranked First, obtained Golden Quality Reward × 3]

[Obtained Skill Book: Level 25 Adaptive Universal Skill Book]

[Quality: Golden Legendary]

[Effect: Can randomly generate an exclusive active skill perfectly suited to the user based on their own combat style, attribute panel, and talent System. No genre conflict. Can only be used after reaching Level 25.]

---

[Obtained Consumable: Origin Body Tempering Pill × 1]

[Quality: Golden Epic]

[Effect: After consumption, all attributes +20 permanently. Each person can consume a maximum of 3.]

---

[Obtained Special Item: Reincarnation Retrospection Stone × 1]

[Quality: Golden Legendary]

[Effect: Automatically triggers upon active release or at the moment of near-death, reverting the user to the position and health status from 10 seconds ago, dispelling all permanent weakness debuffs on the body; the item is destroyed directly after triggering.]

---

Three items, all Golden quality.

Lin Yan's gaze swept over them one by one.

An adaptive Golden skill book was much more valuable than a fixed one. No matter how strong a fixed skill book was, it might not perfectly suit one's fighting style, but an adaptive one was different; it would tailor-make the most suitable Golden skill based on your talent, style, and attributes, which was equivalent to getting a core skill for free.

Lin Yan's [Peak State] had originally evolved from a Purple adaptive skill book, and just by virtue of its Purple Epic grade, it had become his most core damage-boosting trump card throughout the whole process, with real-world combat value crushing the vast majority of skills of the same Rank.

If even a Purple adaptive skill could evolve such divine effects, the power of a skill born from this Golden adaptive skill book could be imagined—it would only be exaggerated to an immeasurable degree.

The Level 25 threshold, just like the Zhenjun Baha Ring, was something he would reach very soon.

Next was the Origin Body Tempering Pill.

All attributes +20, totaling 100 attribute points across the five dimensions.

One could never have too many Medicinal Pills that provided this kind of hard attribute boost. Adding 100 attribute points would elevate his base panel to another level.

Finally, the Reincarnation Retrospection Stone.

Lin Yan's gaze lingered the longest on this stone.

Active or automatic trigger upon near-death, 10-second rewind, dispelling all permanent debuffs.

What did this mean?

It meant he had gained another life.

And it could trigger automatically without him needing to operate it; even if he were ambushed and insta-killed, or controlled to death, he could still rewind back.

10 seconds was enough for him to do many things.

Creating distance, popping potions, counter-attacking... everything would be in time.

"Good stuff," Lin Yan evaluated inwardly.

The value of this Retrospection Stone was not even lower than that Emperor Sumeru Flash Ring or the Reincarnation Rebirth Jade, it was just that it could only be used once.

One was active displacement, the other was equivalent to health recovery + debuff cleansing; with these two trump cards in hand, his survival ability was maxed out.

With a thought, both rewards were collected into his storage space.

He ate the Medicinal Pill directly, left the skill book for when he reached Level 25, and placed the Retrospection Stone in the easiest place to access, just in case.

...

At this moment, in the Seventh Safe Zone's spectator command room, the atmosphere was already boiling.

Core Class Chief Instructor Mo Yunshan stared fixedly at the point leaderboard on the giant projection, then slammed his hand onto the solid wood desk, causing the heavy tabletop to shake three times; his irrepressible ecstasy was almost ready to burst from his chest.

He had been in charge of the Core Class's overall coordination work for many years, and the Seventh Zone had produced countless geniuses, but he had never dreamed that the first Genius Training Camp selection competition, which was of such high quality, would yield such a surprise this time.

Two students from the Seventh Safe Zone had forcefully broken into the top ten, one sitting firmly in first place on the overall list, and one taking third place, directly overshadowing the five Super Safe Zones.

In his ecstasy, he roared loudly.

"Old Meng! Where is Old Meng!"

Mo Yunshan's voice was loud and clear, and the entire command room could hear him clearly. His gaze swept over, and he quickly found Instructor Meng Yuan in the crowd, strode over with a Strut, and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"You kid are something! You hid it deep enough. You actually produced two Prodigies of this level at once, directly taking first and third in the selection competition. Our Seventh Safe Zone has finally held its head high!"

Instructor Meng Yuan was also staring at the projection in a daze, still feeling a bit of the bewilderment of a dream even now.

He held the complete core files of the entire Core Class, and earlier he had only marked Lin Yan's talent as strange and random, with unpredictable growth potential, but he never expected him to be such a Prodigy, sweeping through four levels, killing the Ultimate Emperor, and forcefully grinding out a terrifying score with a massive gap, completely jumping out of all his past perceptions of geniuses.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a serious tone.

"This really can't count as my credit; how long have I even been guiding him? It's all due to Lin Yan's own solid foundation. This kid's comprehension is ridiculously terrifying; he can understand and master the key points and physical cultivation methods I teach in class after just one look."

He paused, then added as if remembering something.

"I previously held a suppression-type physical training course, locking everyone's talent and Innate attributes throughout the entire process, relying only on physical Origin endurance to complete high-intensity training. He had the highest completion rate in the whole class, steadily suppressing everyone the entire time."

"Not only is he top-notch in practical combat classes, all his theoretical written exams were perfect scores. It's just that he doesn't like to use his brain when fighting in regular mock matches, relying entirely on raw strength to push through and crush everyone."

The two stood under the projection, chatting non-stop, and other instructors around them also gathered around, chiming in one after another, chatting from the details of Lin Yan's usual school life to his Heaven-Defying performance in this Dungeon, the more they talked, the more emotional they became. The command room was in a frenzy, completely devoid of the heavy atmosphere from when the selection competition first began.

Mo Yunshan laughed from ear to ear, reached out and punched Instructor Meng Yuan, joking: "Just wait for the large amount of rewards and commendations from the Federation to be issued later. You can't hide from this reward. You must host a banquet later, one meal less won't do!"

"That's a must." Instructor Meng Yuan smiled and agreed, his gaze falling back on the far-leading number on the projection, his eyes full of relief and anticipation. He knew in his heart that Lin Yan, this new star, was destined to stir up massive waves in the Federation's Awakened circle in the future.
