67: Chapter 67 Sweeping the Rankings

Inside a spacious and luxurious room, Wang Tao was currently sitting on a large chair crafted from the fur of a Qi Refinement Stage Yao Beast.

A light blue, closed-type goggle projection appeared before his eyes. At this moment, he was connected to the virtual network, participating in a Divine Kingdom simulation battle for the first time.

As the match success notification appeared, the surrounding environment instantly transformed from the waiting room into a vast grassland.

"Kill!" the thousand Tier 2 Believers roared in unison. The thousand Believers on the opposite side, wearing only scattered Mortal Realm iron equipment, hadn't even realized what was happening before they were instantly wiped out by Wang Tao's Believers.

From start to finish, it took less than 10 seconds. A few of those seconds were just spent on the charge.

[Match victory, gained 1 ranking point]

[Matching battle, please wait]

The second match, the fifth match, the twenty-sixth match...

With the continuous winning streak, Wang Tao's own ranking points began to soar rapidly. Now, every victory had increased from the original 1 ranking point to 100 ranking points.

His ranking also rose from the original 99999+ to within the top ten thousand, and it was still rising rapidly.

Perhaps because his win rate was too high, the opponent matched this time finally looked like something. Among the thousand Believers, there were a hundred Tier 3 Believers.

Their weapons and equipment had all become uniform Mortal Realm hundred-refined sets. The moment the thousand hostile Believers appeared, they had already skillfully formed a Formation.

Unfortunately, they were fast, but Wang Tao's Believers were faster. Day after day of continuous drilling in the Martial Arts Hall had allowed the Believers to engrave forming Formations and attacking into their very bones. The moment the opponent's Formation took shape, General Zhan Yi had already led the Believers in a charge.

Even though they were also Tier 2 Believers, in their hands, they were like mere chicks. The hundred-refined level armor was like paper before the Low Grade Magical Artifacts. They were very easily sliced into two, armor and all.

"How dare a mere Tier 2 show off!" A leader-looking Tier 3 Believer, seeing his subordinates being slaughtered like vegetables, roared angrily and led the other 99 Tier 3 Believers to charge over.

"Well come! Watch the sword!" Seeing the Tier 3 Believers charging, General Zhan Yi took the lead. The long sword in his hand arrived after the opponent but struck first; a squelching sound of a weapon entering flesh was heard.

The leading Tier 3 Believer watched in a daze as the pair of legs with only the lower body in front of him continued to run forward out of inertia.

Then, his vision began to fall uncontrollably. Before his consciousness dissipated, only one thought remained in his mind: those legs, they look so familiar.

The subordinates following closely behind General Zhan Yi also caught up, each of them like a hungry wolf. Their eyes glowed green as they looked at the opposing Tier 3 Believers before them.

At this moment, these Tier 3 Believers were no different from Tier 2 ones; they were killed with a single sword strike, and they were equally unable to react to the opponent's attacks.

Even until death, these Tier 3 Believers were repeatedly questioning one question in their minds: Am I Tier 3? Are they really Tier 2?

"What is going on with you?! How can Tier 2 Believers defeat my Tier 3 ones? What quality of equipment do your Believers have?!"

As the last Believer died, both sides disappeared from the battle space. The Divine Being who had battled Wang Tao never received an answer.

The opponents matched next became stronger and stronger, but unfortunately, none of them could last more than 1 minute against Wang Tao's Believers.

Fifty minutes later, looking at himself in second place, the first place was Su Xue. The two had matched several times, and he had lost more than he had won.

Su Xue seemed like a quiet girl, but he hadn't expected her Believers' combat style to be so violent.

Several times, his Believers had clearly killed the opponent's Believers, but even in death, the corpses would tightly grab onto his Believers, making his Believers feel extremely uncomfortable.

After reaching the top of the rankings, both felt that this battle had no challenge. It wasn't as evenly matched as when they fought each other.

Just as they felt a bit bored and logged off, the distant Anping County was in an uproar.

On the Divine Kingdom simulation battle leaderboard in Anping County, two completely unfamiliar names had suddenly burst into everyone's sight.

In less than an hour, they had fought their way up from the bottom. Even those names that had occupied the leaderboard for decades were pushed down by them. They dominated the top two spots in an incredibly arrogant manner.

"They don't even have a single Tier 3 Believer, yet they reached the top? Is there something wrong with the Divine Kingdom simulation battle?"

"Wang Tao? Su Xue? I've never heard of them at all? Where did these two pop out from? How on earth could they defeat those who have dominated the rankings for decades?"

Compared to most outsiders who were confused about what was going on, the most shocked were the classmates of Class 7.

"It must be a coincidence with the same names. How long has it been since the last class simulation? How could they possibly possess this kind of strength? It must be a coincidence!"

Xu Ming, who had previously been rubbed into the ground by Wang Tao, was currently staring blankly in the virtual space. Looking at Wang Tao in second place, he was lost in a daze.

He had also played the Divine Kingdom simulation battle, and his ranking was still displayed as 99999+; he had no idea what the specific number was.

"Is this the Lin family... Even just an illegitimate son wandering outside can casually change a person's destiny."

He was at least a person with talent, even though it was only F-grade. But no matter how he thought about it, he should have an advantage over the untalented Wang Tao and Su Xue, right?

Yet what was the result? Now, others had directly swept the entire Divine Kingdom simulation battle leaderboard in Anping County. And he, he couldn't even see his own ranking!

Looking at the labeled details of the other party: Participating Believers: 1,000, Tier 2. Xu Ming felt his eye twitch uncontrollably. Only Tier 2, and they had already swept through the leaderboard. What if they were Tier 3?

In another part of Anping County, inside the underground market. It was currently clamorous, with hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, looking at the rankings of the two on the projection in front of them.

Countless people were cursing and tearing up the tickets in their hands, yelling angrily at the leaderboard.

"What are these guys doing for a living! They actually let two little brats with only Tier 2 Believers sweep through them. They are simply trash!"

"Jin Cheng, get up for me! F*ck them! You have been dominating the leaderboard for a full thirty years. How can you be outdone by two kids?!"

"Rigged! It must be you guys at the casino rigging it! Otherwise, how could two kids I've never heard of dominate the leaderboard in one hour?!"

Compared to the countless cursing gamblers, a small group of people in the casino were grinning from ear to ear.

Liu Cheng, who had admitted to being trash after battling Wang Tao earlier, looked at the over a hundred billion faith points in his Divine Kingdom.

At this moment, he wished he could kowtow to Wang Tao, although the other party not taking first place made him earn a few billion less. But Su Xue reaching the top made him earn tens of billions!

He was currently trying his best to suppress his smile while walking quickly out of the casino. Inside, he was still feeling endless regret.

[I was still too timid, only daring to take a loan. I should have let my old man mortgage the house! If I had, I might have been able to win several hundred billion more.]

After walking a few steps, Liu Cheng couldn't help but glance at his Divine Kingdom, and only after confirming that none of this was a dream did he feel at ease.
