89: Chapter 89: The Competition Ends, Champion's Reward

Won!

No one could stop the Fusion of the Chaotic Heavenly Light anymore, and Ye Jianxing could only watch helplessly as his opponent completed the charge.

Chen Xing slowly raised his hand, pointing a single finger at his opponent. With an expressionless face, like an iron-faced judge, he issued a murderous order.

"Boom!"

The Chaotic Heavenly Light crashed down, delivering a massive blow to the Physical Body, spiritual power, and Soul.

On the battlefield, Ye Jianxing was struck until he vanished.

"Evaluating..."

After it ended, the System only said one sentence before falling completely silent.

The crowd held their breath, waiting—how many points would defeating the opponent be worth?

But as it turned out, there was no response.

"What's going on?" Yue Shanhai's gaze narrowed.

"This..." The staff members in the back office were sweating profusely.

Because in their projections, absolutely no one could beat Ye Jianxing, so they hadn't even programmed what to do if he was defeated.

Now, they were in a completely awkward situation.

"Ten million," Elder Xuan said slowly at this moment.

"Yes, exactly ten million!" With someone providing a way out, the staff immediately took the hint and entered the new program.

"Evaluation complete. Challenger [Chen Xing] killed the opponent during the challenge. Points awarded: ten million."

Ten million points!

And that was just the base score. Others would benefit along with him, and Chen Xing would still have additional points; his first place on the individual leaderboard was secure.

"One person's score... is higher than our entire academy's?" The other three academies fell into silence.

"I'm impressed." Zhang Zhiyu took a deep look and realized that the challenge option was actually gone.

Although there were still six hours left until the challenge ended, they could no longer challenge anyone because their target had already been killed.

"Competition ended. Calculating results."

Immediately after, a flash appeared before everyone's eyes, and their consciousnesses were transferred.

No one had any objections; the competition was over.

"Individual leaderboard first place: Chen Xing. Individual points: 80 million (includes bonus points)."

"Individual leaderboard second place: Su He. Individual points: 35 million."

"Individual leaderboard third place: Li Baxian. Individual points: 23 million."

"..."

Because Chen Xing carried them, the top ten, and even the top hundred, of the individual leaderboard were all from Tianhe Academy!

After all, that was ten million points; one person's points were even more than the total of the entire Zhenyan System academy combined.

"Even fiercer than back then..." Regarding this, the Dean of the Zhenyan Department just gave the leaderboard a meaningful look.

"Indeed, back then, Chu Zhen only had individual points that led an entire academy, not everyone together." Yue Shanhai's lips curled upward.

"In my year, at least two of us led an entire academy," Ye Jianxing smiled faintly.

"Stop bragging, you two. It was the misfortune of those students to have to deal with two Devil Kings in one year," the Dean of Shengyuan Academy glanced at him.

"Hahaha, come to think of it, when we were in that year, you had just graduated and weren't a dean yet, right?" Yue Shanhai leaned back against the bench and said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, later when Zhong Chengen was caught, it actually implicated our Old Dean. Those two were really a pair of stinky foxes from the same den," the Dean of Shengyuan Academy laughed.

The competition ended, and a moment later, all the contestants walked out of the competition venue one after another.

The reporters waiting outside had been there for a long time; they swarmed forward, all wanting to interview Chen Xing, the newly rising star.

"Everyone, it is time to leave." At this moment, Elder Xuan spoke again.

Immediately, all the streaming media companies ordered their people to leave, making sure not to provoke this person.

"Old Chen, you've done something incredible this time!" As soon as they came out, Qin Feng excitedly punched Chen Xing in the arm.

"It's alright. The results were slightly better than I expected," Chen Xing smiled.

"Slightly?" Qin Feng's mouth twitched. He had been carried along to the ten-million-point mark.

"Not bad. I don't even know what to say. I just want to ask, are you really a freshman?" Li Baxian leaned in.

"Guaranteed authentic." Chen Xing's lips curled upward.

Su He walked past him, looked back, and smiled: "Later, let's spar; it'll be perfect for improving your Fist Intent."

Chen Xing nodded: "Sure."

When it came to Concept alone, he was indeed not as good as these two; after all, he had spent too little time Cultivating.

However, with the Enlightenment Space analyzing and demonstrating for him, he was confident he could quickly catch up to and surpass them.

Not long after, Chen Xing and Qin Feng saw their teacher standing not far away, waiting.

"Teacher."

The two walked up to their respective teachers—one lively, the other with a confident smile.

"Well done. Come on, teacher will take you out for a drink." Yue Shanhai patted Qin Feng on the back without saying anything else.

"Alright! But... Teacher, the wine this time isn't borrowed, right?" Qin Feng grinned.

"How could I borrow it every day?" Yue Shanhai raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ye Jianxing.

Ye Jianxing smiled calmly and didn't say much.

"Let's go."

Chen Xing nodded and followed him back.

...

After the competition ended, Chen Xing found it troublesome and refused to give a speech, returning to the academy with his teacher not long after.

This matter fermented quickly: a Divine Sea Realm Level 4 S-class Esper freshman had actually solo-killed a powerhouse in the Tribulation Transformation Realm within the same Realm.

It must be known that this Tribulation Transformation Realm powerhouse was also an S-class Esper, which made it even more astonishing.

After the Alliance high command learned of this, they studied him carefully, though it was unknown what orders they issued afterward.

As for the Demon Alliance, they only learned of this matter ten days later.

"To think there is such a talent. The Human Race really has prosperous Luck; they have experts of all kinds."

"Add Chen Xing to the top hundred of the kill-on-sight list."

"The only young person on the list at the Divine Sea Realm. Interesting."

"..."

Huanxiao Grotto-Heaven.

This was the Grotto-Heaven and Blissful Land obtained for taking first place on the academy leaderboard; it was more exquisite than any treasure land in any of the major academies.

Chen Xing sat cross-legged in the center of the deepest pool, surrounded by an array of precious Spirit Medicine and Spirit Pill floating around him.

First place on the individual leaderboard would receive three rare spiritual items. Chen Xing did not choose blindly but selected them after discussing with his teacher.

The first one was called [Purple Qi Fruit].

Legend has it that the arrival of purple Qi from the east is a sign of good fortune, and the Purple Qi Fruit tree survives by absorbing purple Qi.

Once mature, it develops intelligence, and its combat power is comparable to a Spirit Seed Realm Ability User. The fruit it bears is also a highly nourishing item.

"The Purple Qi Fruit can nourish and refine the Physical Body and Soul, comprehensively enhancing your power. It is known as an 'all-around' treasure. I have already prepared the corresponding Spirit Medicine for you; remember to take them later."

Recalling his teacher's instruction, Chen Xing ate the Purple Qi Fruit and then consumed a few stalks of rare Spirit Medicine.

He heard his teacher say that this Spirit Medicine seemed to have been gifted by the Dean in his personal capacity; he had to say, he was quite generous.

"Bang!"

A powerful medicinal force bloomed within his body. Chen Xing focused his Qi on his Dantian, circulated his ability, and continuously regulated it.

The Purple Qi Fruit was indeed mysterious; the purple Qi it contained could actually assist in the cultivation of any Battle Technique, truly living up to its "all-around" nickname.

On the morning of the third day, Chen Xing finished digesting it, and all his Battle Techniques had improved.

His Cultivation had reached Divine Sea Realm Level 5.
