74: Su Jun's ranking continues to rise! A wave of rats appears!

The rostrum was silent!

Except for Luo Chen, Liu Ruyan, Guan Ping, and others who knew a little about Su Jun's background, the faces of the other high-ranking officials showed astonishment.

Especially Chang Shan and Director Chen Ru, who had previously disparaged Su Jun, their eyes were wide open.

“Is Su Jun too fierce?

Facing the encirclement of more than a dozen Second-Level Exotic Beasts, he almost instantly killed them?”

“Unbelievable!

Su Jun, Shen Bingye, Zhao Mu, and Li Chenge faced roughly the same number of Second-Level Exotic Beasts.

However!

Among the four, Su Jun killed the exotic beasts the fastest!”

“Did Su Jun really not awaken his talent?”

“Regardless of whether Su Jun awakened his talent or not, I think his first blood energy measurement of only 35 points must have been wrong!”

Besides Chang Shan and Guan Ping, the other presidents of the Martial Arts Association in Jianglin Base discussed animatedly.

If judged purely by his current performance, these people felt that Su Jun was not inferior to those in the top three of the current points ranking.

As for why Su Jun's ranking was so low, perhaps it was due to bad luck?

He hadn't encountered a large number of exotic beasts!

The Wu Exam lasted for a total of six hours.

The ranking in the first hour had a strong element of randomness.

This was because some candidates would encounter clusters of exotic beasts, while some talented candidates had bad luck.

They encountered fewer exotic beasts on their early travel routes.

“Director Chen Ru, Chang Shan, what did you just say?

That Su Jun would be immediately eliminated?

And that Su Jun didn't have the strength to challenge Li Chenge?”

Guan Ping puffed out his chest and repeatedly questioned Director Chen Ru and Chang Shan.

The faces of these two were as ugly as if they had eaten a fly.

“Hmph!

Guan Ping, don't get carried away!

This Su Jun looks like he has some strength, but he hasn't awakened his talent?

He's definitely not Li Chenge's opponent!”

In front of a large crowd, Chang Shan didn't want to admit defeat and retorted stubbornly.

“This Su Jun looks formidable, but as time passes, his combat power will decline.

His final ranking will definitely not be as good as Li Chenge's.

Moreover, the data shows that Su Jun hasn't awakened his talent, so his future achievements are limited!”

Although Su Jun's performance surprised Director Chen Ru, her eyes still held a hint of disdain.

Luo Chen gave Director Chen Ru a deep look.

“Director Chen Ru, don't forget that the current number one person in our Great Xia Country, Lord Dragon God, has never awakened any talent!

Furthermore!

If we analyze carefully, we will find that among the top combat powers in our Great Xia Country throughout history, those who have not awakened their talent and those who have awakened their talent each account for half!”

These words were like a heavy hammer striking Director Chen Ru's chest, making her extremely uncomfortable and unable to speak.

Finally, Director Chen Ru could only stubbornly leave a remark.

“Su Jun will at most achieve a ranking of around twentieth in this Wu Exam!”

After speaking, she minimized the projection of Su Jun's battle screen, focusing on observing Li Chenge, Zhao Mu, and Shen Bingye.

...

In a mountain hollow within the Ruins.

Achoo~

“Is someone thinking of me?”

Su Jun had just finished dealing with the Second-Level Exotic Beasts that were besieging him when he sneezed.

Was it Xiao Jian?

Or Ice Leaf?

Su Jun didn't think too much and checked his ranking.

“Candidate: Su Jun

Points: 6160

Ranking: 125”

“Already entered the top 150? Not bad, barely!

It seems that hunting high-level exotic beasts is indeed the best way to improve one's ranking.

Of course, the more Lifespan obtained, the better!”

Su Jun looked at the data panel.

“Lifespan: 27200”

Add points!

Su Jun didn't hesitate at all and added all these Lifespan to his blood energy.

“Name: Su Jun

Realm: Peak Martial Master

Talent: None

Blood Energy: 35520

Cultivation Methods: Great Strength Wild Bull Skill (Second-Level, Perfected)

Martial Skills: Benlei Fist (Second-Level, Perfected), Heavenly Yang Finger (Second-Level, Perfected), Wind God Step (Quasi-Third-Level, Perfected), Wind Thunder Palm (Third-Level, Perfected), Diamond Glazed Body (Third-Level, Perfected)

Weapon: D-grade Alloy Gauntlets

Lifespan: 0”

“Thirty-five thousand blood energy, still about eight thousand short of becoming an Primary Martial Grandmaster at forty-three thousand.

Breaking through to Primary Martial Grandmaster before the Wu Exam ends won't be difficult!

However, the sooner I break through to the Martial Grandmaster realm, the better!”

Su Jun checked the current Wu Exam rankings.

“No. 1, Li Chenge, 27500 points”

“No. 2, Zhao Mu, 26100 points”

“No. 3, Shen Bingye, 25100 points”...

“These three are really close in ranking.

Although I'm quite a bit behind them in ranking, it would be very easy to catch up if I just encounter a small beast tide!”

Su Jun's ranking seemed far behind the top three, but this was not actually the case.

As long as Su Jun encountered a small beast tide within the Ruins, he could instantly catch up to the top three, and even surpass them!

“It seems my luck is a bit bad, beast tide, beast tide... hurry up and send me a beast tide!”

Su Jun prayed silently to himself as he rushed deeper into the Ruins.

“Did I hear that right?

That passing candidate hopes to encounter a beast tide?”

“I think he's crazy!

Except for those few, who would want to encounter a beast tide during the Wu Exam?”

“Exactly!”

Several candidates happened to hear Su Jun's words and shook their heads repeatedly.

Beast tides would occasionally appear in the Ruins.

These beast tides were naturally not as powerful as the one that destroyed Jiangcang Base.

However, they also left nothing but desolation in their wake.

Candidates without the combat power of a Advanced Martial Master or Peak Martial Master could only avoid a beast tide.

If they were unlucky, they could only crush the teleportation jade token and be transported to a safe location.

On the other side, Su Jun, while constantly advancing, would encounter exotic beasts that didn't know their place.

But these exotic beasts were defeated by one punch each!

Lifespan + 1800.

Lifespan + 1800...

Points + 500.

Points + 500...

Su Jun's accumulated Lifespan kept increasing, and his ranking also improved again, reaching 89th place.

“Candidate: Su Jun

Points: 11160

Ranking: 89”

“Although my points increased by 5000, my ranking only went up by about 30.

It seems this batch of candidates from Jianglin Base has overall good strength.”

Su Jun analyzed in his mind after seeing the ranking.

Bang, bang, bang...

Just as Su Jun was about to cross a canyon, he heard a series of heavy sounds coming from ahead.

Looking down, Su Jun saw the ground constantly trembling and pebbles jumping.

Could it be?

Su Jun's eyes lit up, revealing an expression of anticipation.

Beast tide!

There must be a beast tide ahead!

Without any hesitation, Su Jun quickly moved through the jungle and then arrived above the canyon.

He looked down and saw a vast gray expanse.

Upon closer inspection, one could discover that this gray expanse was all rats.

What was surprising was that the smallest of these rats were a meter long, and some of the larger ones could reach about two meters!

“Are these Short-tailed Gray Rats?”

Short-tailed Gray Rat, this name might sound like a relatively weak exotic beast at first listen.

However, this was not the case.

The Short-tailed Gray Rat was a true Second-Level Exotic Beast.

The individual combat power of a Short-tailed Gray Rat might not be that strong, but if they formed a rat tide, even a dozen Second-Level Peak Exotic Beasts would have to retreat!

“Huh? There are people over there!”

Su Jun was surprised to find more than a dozen candidates in the direction the Short-tailed Gray Rats were moving, and some of them were acquaintances of Su Jun.
