40: A ruthless instant kill, the teammates were completely defeated!
"Come back!"
Song Ming didn't even look at Lu Hao, who was fleeing, and shouted.
"Alright, my brother, what are your orders!"
Lu Hao immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, and gave a standard fake smile.
Song Ming heard him but didn't pay him any attention.
He turned to look at the monsters that had already rushed within ten meters of him.
Annihilation Aura.
Activated.
Immediately, a dark halo radiating a deathly stillness enveloped the monsters' heads.
The Fallen Cavalry monster leading the charge.
Its body disintegrated inch by inch.
The other monsters following behind met the same fate.
In the blink of an eye, they were all annihilated.
The entire process lasted less than a second.
The monsters, which had been so aggressive just moments ago, vanished without a trace, not even dust remaining.
Lu Hao's mouth hung open, staring blankly at the scene.
Passerby A and Passerby B were both petrified on the spot.
There must have been close to a hundred monsters.
And the ones leading were a boss monster and elite monsters.
They were instantly killed just like that?
Lu Hao finally understood why Song Ming was ranked as the Top National Scorer.
Just that one move he displayed.
Who wouldn't be afraid after seeing that?
Lu Hao stood rooted to the spot, his legs trembling.
Then, with a thud.
He knelt down directly.
"Brother Ming, I was wrong, please let me go!"
Passerby A and Passerby B exchanged glances.
Lu Hao had already knelt.
Would it be inappropriate for them to remain standing?
Song Ming's instant kill of elite monsters and regular monsters earned him an additional 15,000 points.
And one thing Lu Hao had guessed correctly.
After killing the boss monster.
It really did drop a white glowing point treasure chest.
Song Ming opened it, and another two thousand points were added to his account.
At this point.
His points had directly soared to 35,210.
In this way.
Unless the subsequent examinees were incredibly lucky.
And consecutively opened two ten-thousand-point treasure chests.
Otherwise, Song Ming's position as the Top National Scorer was basically secured.
After collecting the points.
Song Ming looked at Lu Hao, who was still kneeling on the ground.
He frowned and asked, "What are you doing kneeling on the ground?"
Lu Hao: "......"
Passerby A and Passerby B were just about to kneel.
But after hearing Song Ming's words, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Hao: "Would you believe me if I said it's cooler on the ground?"
Song Ming: "Alright, get up quickly!"
Lu Hao stood up expressionlessly, then patted the dirt off his knees.
He then glared fiercely at Passerby A and Passerby B behind him.
"Why didn't you pull me up just now!"
Passerby A and Passerby B: "You knelt too fast!"
"Bullshit, I think you just didn't want to pull me up!"
"......"
"Forget it, kneeling to a big shot isn't a shameful thing, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right!"
Lu Hao snorted, then sidled up to Song Ming.
His face was full of fawning smiles: "Brother Ming, you're already so awesome, so don't bother with a handsome guy like me!"
Song Ming glanced at him and said indifferently:
"Don't worry, as long as you help me with something, I guarantee you'll get into Divine Xia Academy!"
Lu Hao's eyes lit up.
Following Song Ming.
Even if he couldn't eat meat, just drinking the soup would be enough to fill him up!
"Brother Ming, whatever it is, just tell me!"
Song Ming said, "Are you fast?"
Lu Hao: "Absolutely!"
"Alright, you guys go and find me where the most monsters are, the more the better!"
"This..."
"What, unwilling?"
"How could that be? I'm just afraid we won't be fast enough and will delay your affairs, Brother Ming!"
Song Ming looked at him, then cast a Haste Aura on him.
"Holy crap! Brother Ming, what did you do to me?"
Lu Hao jumped in fright, clutching his chest with terrified hands.
Immediately, he felt his agility attribute surge.
He slowly opened his mouth wide.
Lu Hao's figure suddenly vanished from his original spot, appearing dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.
Then, in another blink of an eye, he ran back.
"Holy crap, I feel like I've become the fastest man in the world!"
Song Ming then cast a Haste Aura on the remaining Passerby A and Passerby B.
"Alright, you guys go!"
The three nodded.
Then, they turned into a gust of wind.
They dispersed in three directions, searching for monsters for Song Ming.
Tower of Trials.
Inside the top floor space.
The examiners were already numb.
Such terrifying efficiency in killing monsters, no other examinee in the entire country could compare.
Even a level 40, third-tier Professional wasn't this abnormal.
"This Song Ming is indeed powerful, but he has one flaw!"
"He's too arrogant, why does he always like to make others kneel!"
"Hmm, that point is indeed not good, he needs to change!"
"Do you think his final score can break forty thousand?"
"I think you're being a bit too conservative!"
Song Ming currently held a commanding lead with over thirty thousand points.
This, in turn, indirectly stimulated the other examinees in the Ancient Battlefield Space to work even harder at killing monsters.
They dared not stop for a moment.
They even dared not look at the points leaderboard.
Fearing that the first place's points would surge again, directly shattering their Dao Heart.
Wang Heng and An Ran's speed of acquiring points had nearly doubled.
Even so.
Their points barely approached ten thousand.
They were still far from surpassing Song Ming!
Outside the Ancient Battlefield Space.
The citizens of Great Xia Country watching the live broadcast were also filled with sighs.
They hadn't expected the first place to be some unknown fellow.
And he suppressed all the Prodigies, making them unable to raise their heads.
How incredibly awesome was that?
It seemed that this year's Top National Scorer would undoubtedly be Song Ming.
Just as they were thinking this.
The capital city of Great Xia Country, Jingcheng.
This was a city with a population of over ten million.
Divine Xia Academy was located here.
At this moment, above Jingcheng.
A white jade pagoda floated.
Its shape was identical to the Tower of Trials within the trial space.
However, its size was dozens of times larger.
Even far from Jingcheng, it could be seen clearly.
This white jade pagoda was the main body of the Tower of Trials.
The white pagodas in the trial spaces of nearly twenty provinces across the country were all Clones of this tower.
Only during the college entrance examination would the Tower of Trials appear.
Countless powerful individuals in Jingcheng were silently guarding this tower at this moment.
To ensure the smooth progress of the college entrance examination.
However, at this very moment.
The originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and the air became exceptionally cold.
As if something had suddenly obscured the sky.
A gigantic portal appeared in the sky above Jingcheng, and darkness descended instantly.
Then, the portal slowly opened.
A Devil Head with horns on its head, exposed fangs, and a sinister smile stretched out from within.
Its protruding dark eyes stared fixedly at the Tower of Trials below.
"Who dares to cause trouble here!"
The voice, like a clap of thunder, instantly spread throughout Jingcheng.
Then, a phantom giant sword suddenly appeared in mid-air, striking at the Devil Head in the dark portal.
"Hehehe, is that all you've got!"
From within the portal, a hideous demonic hand stretched out again, grabbing at the giant sword.
At the same time, a blood-red light filled with evil Qi suddenly shot out from the Devil Head's eyes.
It charged directly towards the Tower of Trials.
"Presumptuous!"
The person roared.
The giant sword split into two, and then into four.
One of them blocked the blood-red light.
Slicing it in half.
"You can't stop me, hehehe!"
The Devil Head in the portal revealed a mocking smile.
One of the two split blood-red lights drilled into the phantom of the giant sword, directly pinning it in place.
The other light's speed suddenly increased tenfold, instantly disappearing into the Tower of Trials.
"You're courting death!"
All three phantom giant swords struck at the Devil Head in mid-air.
The Devil's face still held a mocking smile.
"Hehehe, you should worry about how to save the little ones inside the tower!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Devil Head sharply retracted.
The portal suddenly closed.
The giant sword struck the portal, instantly shattering it!
The sky returned to clarity once more!
