76: Chapter 76 Space Crystal!

[Space Crystal]

• Quality: legendary-grade

• Attached Skills: Spatial Breakthrough, Spatial Imprint, Eternal Imprint

[Spatial Breakthrough]: Infuse transcendent power to forcibly tear through fragile spatial barriers.

[Spatial Imprint]: Leave a mark at a selected coordinate. Activation allows traversal through the void in 3 seconds (Current capacity: 0/10).

[Eternal Imprint]: Anchor a permanent spatial fulcrum, allowing precise return via consuming scrolls (Current capacity: 0/1).

"It actually dropped a Space Crystal!"

Su Chen's heart pounded violently. This feeling of incredible luck, of hitting the jackpot, even surpassed obtaining a legendary-grade piece of equipment.

For ordinary professionals, [Spatial Breakthrough] might just be a niche method to enter sealed dungeons. But the true, heaven-defying aspect of this crystal lay in its latter two functions.

Ten free imprint points meant Su Chen could set up "fast travel portals" wherever he wished in the world. For example, if he left an imprint in his own Yunlan villa, even if he were as far as the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains, he could teleport home in just 3 seconds.

Whether for daily commuting or a life-or-death escape, this was a divine skill powerful enough to alter one's fate.

And that [Eternal Anchor Point], its strategic value was enough to rival a demi-artifact!

Back then, the teleportation scroll Zhao Qingyue used to save her life in the dragon's lair had its destination set to an Eternal Anchor Point within Tianchen Academy.

This technology, known as "official recall points," had always been held in the hands of the three great academies and a tiny minority of top-tier financial conglomerates. Even a prosperous province like Jiang Province did not possess a single Eternal Anchor Point within its borders.

The rarity of this crystal could no longer be measured in money. If one absolutely had to throw it into an auction house, the starting bid would likely be in the hundreds of billions, and it would absolutely be a case of having a price but no market.

"The Dragon-Slaying Sword Saint is truly a great philanthropist. Not only did he deliver experience, but he even dropped this treasure from the bottom of his stash."

Su Chen felt genuine gratitude in his heart for this distant "courier," hoping the other party would send more elites of this caliber to deliver treasures in the future.

He happily stored the crystal away. Selling it was out of the question. With it, the vast earth beneath his feet would hold no more distance for him henceforth.

"Let's go, Little Purple. One more sweep for points."

He nimbly mounted the dragon, activating the final AFK point-farming mode.

Since that Shadow Knight and the Bat-Wolves died within the assessment period, even though they were "uninvited guests" from outside, the system still generously awarded points for them.

These two bosses alone contributed over six hundred thousand points to Su Chen, pushing his total straight towards the million mark, almost solidifying his position as the national top scorer.

Moreover, points were hard currency within universities, not only exchangeable for resources but also usable for spending on campus.

In a welfare event like the College Entrance Exam, teeming with monsters everywhere, the efficiency of farming points far surpassed that of the outside world.

An hour and a half later, the three-hour, heart-pounding College Entrance Exam officially concluded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As teleportation arrays activated on a large scale, all surviving examinees were collectively extracted from the secret realm, reappearing in the city square.

For a moment, joy and sorrow intermingled in the crowd. Some even triggered wails from family members because they had been permanently left behind in the secret realm.

The brutality of the era of universal job-changing was displayed in its entirety at this moment.

The ranking list was now frozen. Relying on the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon's final frenzied sweep, Su Chen's points ultimately settled at a staggering 1.8 million, hanging at the top of Jiang Province's leaderboard with a fault-level advantage.

Second Place: Lin Xiyue (Necromancer), secured 480,000 points relying on the sea-of-bodies tactics of her skeleton army.

Third Place: A Thunderflame Mage (legendary profession), obtained 450,000 points with extremely high burst damage.

Fourth Place: Qin Wanxing (Three-Headed Hellhound), 440,000 points.

Fifth Place: The legendary-grade mage who teamed up with Qin Wanxing, 435,000 points.

"Is this the suppression force of a dragon? It's too outrageous..."

"This kind of fault first place... I'm afraid he's even trampled the national record underfoot, right?"

"To be in the same year as this kind of monstrous genius in this lifetime... I really don't know if it's an honor or a tragedy."

The surrounding examinees pointed at the light screen, their eyes full of amazement.

On the high platform, a group of powerhouses looked at Su Chen with expressions complex to the extreme. If not for Archon Zhang's "prohibition" hanging over their heads, they would probably have rushed down to snatch him up by now.

Only Jiang Yu and Zhenjiang City Mayor Xia Minghui, these two "familiar faces," walked towards Su Chen with sleazy grins, completely disregarding their image. Their fervent gazes were as if looking at a peerless beauty.

"Ah Chen! Well done! That's so satisfying!" Jiang Yu grabbed Su Chen's hand, his enthusiasm almost overwhelming. "Come visit the house when you have time. That girl Xiaoxue talks about you every day.

The full national rankings will be announced in five days. Remember to come to the Jiang Family to collect those three treasures.

I'll also help you apply for the top-tier Welfare for the top scorer. And there's the matter of secret realm development..."

Su Chen dealt with him, feeling awkward yet polite.

"Let me introduce myself. Xia Minghui, Mayor of Zhenjiang City." The middle-aged man on the other side quickly interjected, grinning. "Little brother Su Chen, you saved my daughter before. I haven't properly thanked you for this life-saving grace..."

Faced with the almost clingy attentive attitudes of these two big shots, Su Chen only felt a chill run down his spine.

Having Finally managed to send the two away, he originally wanted to find Qin Wanxing to leave together, but discovered that the little lass had vanished in a hurry the moment she exited the secret realm.

Su Chen shook his head. Before heading back to his Yunlan villa, he first made a detour towards the Federal Chamber of Commerce.
