119: No. 1 in the country? Did he score over 300 million points?

“Now, let’s start selecting the candidates. Those whose names are called, please come to the stage!”

Mr. Yuan called out 8 names in a row.

The Words of Influences looked at these 8 people and nodded unconsciously; they were all familiar faces, veterans.

All 8 were veterans who had truly participated in Infinite-level Transmigration, and although it wasn't actual combat, their performance was quite good.

When it came to the 9th person, Mr. Yuan smiled slightly: “Under normal circumstances, we would need to have experienced producers represent Great Xia in the competition, but my disciple, Zhao Jian, must compete now!”

“He was hidden by me for a year. He was the champion of last year's selection competition finals, and he achieved a perfect score in the group stage!”

The group stage, also known as the simulated Infinite Duel battle, simply put, was not a transmigration, but a simulated exam.

A perfect theoretical score.

“Not bad, he's the first person I've seen who can get a perfect score in simulation, he's good!”

“The current situation calls for talent!”

“Little friend Zhao Jian, keep up the good work!”

…

Zhao Jian stood on the stage, showing a shy smile, though he still looked a bit eerie.

Mr. Yuan: “The last one… well, originally we were going to choose an experienced newcomer, but Teacher Huo applied for the spot in advance. Let's hear him say a few words.”

Holm Lian Yuan stood up: “I’ll only say two sentences. Right now, it is Great Xia’s most dangerous moment. Everyone must not let their guard down. Losing three consecutive rounds, and losing to Sakura Country, is something all Great Xia people cannot tolerate!”

With that simple sentence, Mr. Yuan’s expression changed again and again. Losing three consecutive rounds, no matter the reason, happened during his tenure, and he bore a great deal of responsibility.

Holm Lian Yuan looked at Lin Nian: “Therefore, for this competition, my suggestion is to have my disciple, Lin Nian, participate.”

Lin Nian?

Who is that?

Never heard of him.

Everyone discussed animatedly, their gazes scrutinizing the young Lin Nian. Based on his appearance, they couldn’t see anything beyond his handsomeness.

Mr. Yuan said: “Teacher Huo, this is not the time for games. Since you want your disciple to compete, what achievements does your disciple have?”

Holm Lian Yuan: “The champion of this year’s finals. With such an achievement, according to the rules, he can participate early.”

Finals?

This year?

Champion?

Everyone was completely bewildered.

“The current finals of this session have not yet concluded, with 6 days remaining…”

“Although the competition scores have not yet been released, I have heard that the participants in this session are all the best among producers. Among them, White Emperor’s disciple also participated, and his 4 teammates are all top-tier geniuses. Teacher Huo, how can you determine in advance that your disciple took first place?”

“I heard that this Lin Nian got first place in the preliminary round, with a score of over 6 billion!”

“6 billion… that’s truly terrifying, but… he can’t possibly get that much every time, can he?”

…

The surrounding doubts pleased Mr. Yuan, and he took the opportunity to refute Holm Lian Yuan:

“The selection competition has not yet ended. How many points can he get? Ten million? Or a hundred million? Even if he really got 100 million points, we can’t let a wet-behind-the-ears kid compete. This duel is of great importance, representing Great Xia’s national destiny for the next ten, or even several decades. We cannot gamble!”

Those around also advised Holm Lian Yuan to drop it.

“That’s right, Teacher Huo, let it go. This is really important.”

“We need a stable victory. We know your judgment won't be wrong, and perhaps Lin Nian has many shining points, but this time, it’s of great importance, and there can be no mistakes.”

“If we give him the spot, we might very well waste an opportunity for victory. A single defeat could mean the loss of a circle of Great Xia territory, and it also means the deaths of those Great Xia citizens who couldn’t evacuate in time!”

…

At this moment, in the center of the dispatch room, a phantom appeared in mid-air.

Dressed in white, valiant and spirited, who else could it be but Bai Sheng?

Currently, Bai Sheng is responsible for the judging work of Great Xia’s selection competition finals. He came here temporarily to apply for a spot for his disciple, Donggong Ya.

Mr. Yuan immediately agreed: “After we achieve ten consecutive victories, White Emperor’s disciple will be first in line. By the way, how is the Infinite Hegemony Competition progressing?”

Bai Sheng spoke indifferently: “Currently, my disciple has reached 200 million points, and it’s estimated to be difficult to advance further.”

Everyone’s expression changed instantly.

“200 million points? I remember the highest record in the finals was 190 million. White Emperor’s disciple has broken the historical highest record!!”

“Great Xia actually has another top-tier producer! In time, he will add another formidable general to the Infinite Hegemony Competition!”

“Look how low-key White Emperor is, 200 million points, not boasting at all.”

…

200 million points, Words of Influence also gasped.

His disciple broke the historical highest record last year, which was 190 million points.

He was proud of it, thinking that no one would be able to break the record his disciple set for at least 10 years.

Unexpectedly, in only the second year, he was surpassed by Bai Sheng’s disciple!

Moreover, there are still 6 days until the end of the finals.

In 6 days, with a little more effort, he might even reach 250 million.

Who else could surpass him?!

Words of Influence said admiringly: “White Emperor is an excellent teacher; such a producer has limitless potential in the future!”

After speaking, he also glanced at the standing Holm Lian Yuan, his eyes full of meaning.

Didn’t you, Holm Lian Yuan, say your disciple was first place?

Bai Sheng’s disciple already has 200 million points; how could you possibly surpass him?

Furthermore, Holm Lian Yuan had previously said his disciple was first place, possibly because his score exceeded 100 million points, but he probably didn’t expect a Donggong Ya to come from behind, did he?

Casually, he added: “The champion of this year’s finals must be your disciple, Donggong Ya!”

Everyone echoed:

“That’s absolutely true. 200 million points, if Donggong Ya isn’t first place, who is?”

“It’s impossible for two people to break the highest record in the finals at the same time, hahaha!”

“Donggong Ya, has ended the competition early!”

…

Amidst everyone’s playful gazes, Bai Sheng slowly shook her head: “No, my disciple is currently second in the country, and can only be second in the country. The gap with the first place is too great, one is in the heavens, one is on the ground.”

Her demeanor had always been very genuine; she wasn't being modest or low-key. If her disciple had truly taken first place, she wouldn't be able to suppress her smile right now.

Hearing her words, everyone was dumbfounded.

“200 million points isn’t first place?”

“Then how many points must first place have? Has it already exceeded 250 million points?”

“No, no, no, White Emperor clearly said it’s impossible to surpass, so there’s only one possibility… first place has already exceeded… 300 million points!!”

“Holy crap! 300 million points! When did Great Xia have such a capable person!”

…
