89: Chapter 89 Top of the Discontinuous Ranking, A Person of Heavenly Fortune

The moment the golden spirit fruit was swallowed by Wen Xiaoyou in one bite, the entire Element Forest remained in a state of deathly silence.

Countless prodigies stood frozen in place, their faces filled with absurdity, frustration, and disbelief.

They had exhausted their trump cards, fought bitter battles, kept each other in check, and fought until they were battered and bloody; even Li Qingxiao had already gathered wind and thunder in his sword, ready to enter the fray and decide the outcome.

The peerless opportunity that everyone had fought tooth and nail for was, in the end, casually snatched up by an ignorant girl who had just happened to pass by and popped up from nowhere.

After a brief moment of dullness, many people subconsciously pulled up the global leaderboard, wanting to confirm the changes in points at this moment.

The next second.

Everyone's gaze suddenly froze, their breathing hitching sharply.

The name at the top of the leaderboard was shockingly eye-catching.

【Rank 1: Wen Xiaoyou】

【Total Points: 3,188,888】

The second-place Ye Guanqi, with nearly 950,000 points, was simply not worth mentioning in the face of that terrifying figure of over three million.

A complete and utter crushing gap!

The massive gap in points lay before everyone like an unbridgeable chasm, making one feel daunted.

"She... she is the one at the top of the leaderboard?!"

Finally, someone exclaimed in shock, their gaze locked tightly onto the petite girl with a ponytail at the edge of the forest, their voice trembling.

"I always thought the top spot belonged to some descendant of a hidden aristocratic family or a top-tier prodigy. Who could have imagined... that it would actually be her?!"

"She looks so dazed and cute, devoid of any sharp edge, and harmless to humans and animals alike—how could she possibly possess three million terrifying points?!"

The entire scene was shaken to its core.

Since the Chaotic Battlefield began, countless prodigies had been fighting bloody battles and gambling with their lives, doing everything they could to compete for points and resources.

Yet, the combined accumulation of everyone present didn't even amount to a fraction of this girl's total.

A single thought subconsciously arose in everyone's mind—

This girl is absolutely terrifying to the extreme!

To be able to firmly suppress everyone in a Dungeon of death where tens of thousands of prodigies were slaughtering each other, and secure such an outrageous, gap-widening first place—how could she possibly be simple?

Everyone assumed that this innocent and dazed appearance before them was definitely an extreme disguise.

The real her must be a top-tier powerhouse who hides her true depth and possesses unfathomable strength.

It was precisely because of this that even though countless people were jealous to the point of madness, no one dared to step forward easily.

The points of the top-ranked player, with such a massive gap, were in themselves the greatest deterrent.

Wen Xiaoyou stood in place, watching as countless gazes from all directions fell upon her in unison, dense and numerous, all staring at her alone.

She nervously twisted the corner of her clothes, blinking her clear, clean eyes, her face full of confusion.

"Eh?"

"Why is everyone looking at me..."

"Am I that famous?"

She scratched her head shyly, her small face slightly flushed, looking completely at a loss and ignorant.

Such a pure and clumsy posture, in the eyes of the prodigies, instead seemed increasingly profound and unfathomable.

The more one keeps a low profile and appears ordinary, the more it indicates a terrifying foundation.

But after a brief moment of wariness, extreme greed eventually crushed the reason of some people.

Someone stared fixedly at Wen Xiaoyou's terrifying points on the leaderboard, a crazy desire flashing in their eyes.

"Three million points..."

"Killing a Contestant allows one to plunder 10% of their points, plus the full bounty..."

"If I can take her down... I'll ascend to the heavens in one step!"

The entire battlefield suddenly became terrifyingly quiet.

Some people were tempted.

As long as they killed Wen Xiaoyou, they could leap directly to the top of the leaderboard, far exceeding several days of accumulated points.

Under the temptation of huge benefits, killing intent quietly sprouted, and undercurrents surged completely.

Deep in the shadows of the crowd, an extremely concealed figure merged completely into the darkness.

This person wore a stealth cloak, had no presence, and possessed strange movement techniques; he was a top-tier assassin-type Awakened who specialized in stealth, instant kills, and sneak attacks.

He had been lurking and watching the battle the whole time, not competing for the spirit fruit or joining in the commotion, just waiting for the most suitable moment to reap.

In the moment when everyone was watching with wariness, he seized this one and only opening.

Silently and soundlessly, his figure completely concealed itself, utilizing the shadows of the Element Forest's thunderstorms, the cover of vines, and the obscuration of poison mist.

In an instant, he crossed a distance of tens of meters!

No one saw his movements, and no one caught his aura.

Even top-tier prodigies like Su Yueli and Han Yan only felt a flash of light and shadow before their eyes.

Too fast!

Too concealed!

Too unexpected!

An instant kill strike that had been charged for a long time, carrying the terrifying control effect of a stiffness buff, silently attacked the completely unprepared Wen Xiaoyou!

Everyone's heart in the entire scene suddenly skipped a beat.

It's over!

This strike was too fast!

Once it hits, death is certain!

But just at the moment the killing intent reached her—

Wen Xiaoyou's foot slipped for some unknown reason.

Plop!

Her small body lost its center of gravity, and she landed firmly on her bottom.

Dazed and clumsy.

It was precisely this sudden, inexplicable fall.

That perfectly avoided the fatal instant kill!

The sharp, pitch-black killing move grazed past the top of her head by a hair's breadth, missing completely.

The assassin had launched his full-power strike, and the force was fully unleashed; there was simply no time to retract it.

The massive momentum carried his body straight forward.

Ahead, it just so happened to be a patch of exploding flame fruit bushes filled with red firelight.

Boom!!!

He crashed straight into it.

The ripe exploding flame fruits were touched by an external force and instantly detonated in a chain reaction!

Fire filled the sky as the terrifying explosive impact instantly blasted him into mid-air!

He was in the center of the thunderstorm airspace, with nowhere to leverage force.

The raging thunder element howling in the sky above seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Crack!!!

Several thick lightning pillars fell precisely, all striking his airborne body!

Lightning wrapped around his body, his bones and muscles burst, and his vitality instantly collapsed.

The explosive impact, accompanied by the lightning strike, smashed his broken body hard against the ground.

Below, it just so happened to be the toxic swamp mud pool of the Element Forest.

Squelch—

His body fell into the murky poisonous swamp, sinking deep into it.

Deep in the mud pool, the toxic swamp monster that had been lurking for a long time instantly rushed out and swallowed him in one bite.

【Contestant has been eliminated!】

In an instant, the top-tier assassin who had been preparing for an instant kill.

Hadn't even touched a single hair on Wen Xiaoyou's head.

The whole process was a chain of bad luck, leading directly to his total annihilation on the spot.

The entire Element Forest was silent to the extreme.

The gazes of all the Awakened in the scene stared blankly at the scene that had just occurred.

No one made a sound, no one moved.

Everyone's back felt cold, their scalps were completely numb, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

Eerie.

Too eerie!

Precise evasion, precise crashing into the fruit, precise lightning attraction, precise falling into the poisonous swamp, precise being killed by the monster.

From beginning to end, there wasn't a single mistake.

No fighting with strength.

No dodging with technique.

No pre-judgment.

Just by tripping.

As a result, a top-tier assassin was simply unlucky to the point of death.

How is this a weakling?

This is clearly an unsolvable taboo of destiny—to touch her is disaster, and to approach her is death!

Everyone no longer had a shred of greed; cold chills surged through their bodies, and they subconsciously took several steps back in unison, completely moving away from the girl's location, fearing that they might be tainted by the slightest bit of misfortune.

Who would still dare to make a move?

Who would dare to covet her points?

This is not prey at all; this is a person of destiny protected by the rules of the entire battlefield!

In front of the crowd, Lin Yan stood quietly.

He had witnessed the entire process with his own eyes.

From the spirit fruit landing precisely in her arms, to the assassin's chain-reaction death.

Even with his steady state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of weirdness and evil in his eyes at this moment.

Not strong, not fierce, not arrogant.

Clumsy, simple, ignorant, harmless to humans and animals.

Yet, all the malice directed at her ended up backfiring on the perpetrators themselves.

Lin Yan took a deep look at the girl who was still sitting on the ground, looking dazed and innocent.

Only one thought remained in his mind—

In this Chaotic Battlefield, the one who must never be provoked is never the crowd of prodigies.

But rather this person before him, who appears to be the weakest, yet bears supreme destiny—the one at the top of the leaderboard.
