124: The points exceeded 50,000, a century-old record!
36,999!
When the other candidates noticed Li Canglan's score.
Almost everyone wore the same expression on their faces.
Shock!
Unparalleled shock!
"Last year's Zhuangyuan of the Hanghai Base City exam only had eight thousand and some points."
"With these thirty-plus thousand points, isn't Li Canglan a shoo-in for the Base City Zhuangyuan?"
Xie Tengfei, who was ranked third on the leaderboard, stepped on the corpse of a Demonic Beast with a gloomy expression.
His face alternated between shades of green and purple.
Just thinking about the words he used to mock Li Canglan before the exam now...
...made his face burn!
The other candidates who witnessed that scene were probably already treating him as a joke!
"This gap is just too big."
Before Huang Qilin's eyes appeared the face of that peer who had calmly evaluated him as "not bad."
At the time, he felt that person was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and surprisingly arrogant.
But now it seemed that what supported Li Canglan in making that evaluation...
...was the confidence provided by Li Canglan's own strength!
Thinking of this, Huang Qilin didn't feel bad at all.
Instead, he felt a sense of reflected honor.
To receive an evaluation of "not bad" from the future Base City Zhuangyuan and a future top powerhouse...
...was not an evaluation that just anyone could possess!
However, Li Canglan's score did not stop at 36,999 points.
The monsters in the core area had already been wiped out by him.
Since that was the case, he would kill the Demonic Beasts in the inner area!
Seeing the score still climbing steadily, the other candidates already in the inner area felt a sense of foreboding.
"Oh no, hurry up and go grab monsters!"
"Otherwise, I don't know if Li Canglan will take the Hanghai Base City Zhuangyuan, but we probably won't have many points left to take."
"What the f*ck? Li Canglan shouldn't be that ruthless, right? Can he, by himself, clear out all the Demonic Beasts in the core and inner areas? I don't believe it!"
"If you don't believe it, then take your time; I'm leaving first."
The person who had just said they didn't believe it put down their phone and immediately sped up as well.
Admissions to Shenxia Country's higher martial arts institutions were all based on regional point rankings.
Hanghai Base City, along with its four satellite cities, had a unified point system.
Given Luofeng City's size, the number of candidates was small.
But for the sake of fairness, the authorities did not reduce the number of Demonic Beasts in Luofeng City.
But no matter how many there were, they couldn't withstand Li Canglan's tens of thousands of points per minute kill speed!
In the inner area.
Li Canglan sent a message to Zhang Ganchao and the others, finding a place to meet up.
Subsequently, he helped Zhang Ganchao and the others obtain some points.
Regarding this, Zhang Ganchao and his group were naturally overjoyed.
Of course, they wouldn't rely solely on Li Canglan.
Li Canglan's help allowed them to enter a higher platform.
As for what achievements they could attain, it ultimately depended on themselves.
Fortunately, Li Canglan had extremely strong control over his own power.
Every time, as long as he didn't strike the Demonic Beast's vital point...
...he could always leave a dying Demonic Beast for Zhang Ganchao and the others.
The tactical watch's scoring mechanism wasn't that intelligent.
It wouldn't calculate points based on combat contribution.
The only standard for judgment was the finishing blow.
Therefore, the scores of Zhang Ganchao and the others were also climbing at an extremely fast speed.
In the livestream, a wave of discussion erupted regarding the actions of Li Canglan and the others.
"Good heavens, doesn't this count as cheating?"
"The authorities didn't make a rule that candidates can't beat Demonic Beasts to low health for others to pick up, so why are you being such a busybody?"
"I've only heard of teams stealing other people's monsters for a higher ranking; this is the first time I've seen someone spend time helping others farm monsters."
"Don't say anything more; just seeing Li Canglan's careful appearance makes me feel tired."
"Li Canglan: These non-starred Demonic Beasts are even harder to deal with than one-star Demonic Beasts."
Another few hours passed, and Li Canglan's own score...
...surpassed 50,000 points!
Zhang Ganchao and the others also each surpassed 4,000 points!
Huang Yifeng looked at the figure ahead, gracefully killing monsters, with a face full of emotion.
"I never thought that the Martial Arts Exam would be this easy."
"Good thing we didn't speak rudely at the beginning, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hug Canglan's thigh."
Ma Danyang rolled her eyes in annoyance,
"Stop trying to share the blame here; we aren't like you, looking down on people."
Zhao Wuya nodded in deep agreement, ashamed to be associated with such a shameless person as Huang Yifeng.
Seeing the scores of Zhang Ganchao and the others, Huang Qilin and Xie Tengfei smiled helplessly.
"I didn't expect that in the end, let alone being first place in Luofeng City, we couldn't even grab a spot in the top five."
Their scores, at most, would only be a little over 3,000 before the exam ended.
In previous exams, that would have been enough to almost guarantee first place.
But because of Li Canglan's appearance...
...Zhang Ganchao and the others were also ranked ahead of them.
What more could they say?
Should they complain that the rules are unfair?
In this world, there is no such thing as absolute fairness; they understood this deeply.
In other words, Huang Qilin and Xie Tengfei were originally people who had taken advantage of their circumstances.
Huang Qilin's grandfather was the principal of the Second Academy, the four-star Martial Master Huang Nan.
Xie Tengfei's maternal grandfather was also a four-star Martial Master in the Demon Suppression Division.
If their resources were cut down to the level of Zhang Ganchao and the others...
...they wouldn't dare to guarantee that they could definitely be stronger than Zhang Ganchao and the others.
In another part of the inner area.
Xu Yifan felt fortunate in his heart that he had chosen to give up early.
Otherwise, if he saw that Zhang Ganchao's score was ten times his own...
...he didn't know to what extent his former self would have collapsed.
Outside the venue.
Watching the score break 50,000.
Director Zhou Bohao and the various school leaders on the podium hadn't reacted yet.
But those teachers, whether from the First Academy or the Ninth Academy, had all fallen into a frenzy of celebration.
"50,000 points, the record is broken!!"
The teachers from the First Academy were the first to shout out in excitement.
This was like a fuse, causing the teachers from the various academies to let out bursts of sharp cheers.
"50,000 points, it's not just our Luofeng City exam record; it has even broken the century-old record for the entire Hanghai Base City, right?"
"A Genius, absolutely a Genius!"
"Heaven really blesses our Luofeng City! This year's Base City exam Zhuangyuan, a Genius who could even rank among the top in the entire country, actually appeared in our Luofeng City!"
"Also, although Zhang Ganchao and the others are a step weaker, with over 4,000 points, they would even be ranked highly in Hanghai Base City."
"Sure enough, having strong strength isn't as good as having strong teammates."
"Being able to team up with Li Canglan is also their own capability."
Many teachers and students all cheered, disregarding their image.
