Zhou Ye: First Place Is in the Bag!

However, he hadn't finished speaking.

Gu Ci, sitting in the corner, subtly curled his lips into a smile, and let out a barely audible sneer.

"Pfft!"

I don't know who was the first to burst out laughing.

That laugh seemed to be a signal, instantly igniting the entire venue.

Several teachers who were already trying hard to suppress their laughter could no longer hold back; their shoulders trembled violently, and low chuckles quickly spread.

The atmosphere in the entire Command Center instantly became both strange and cheerful.

Nobody's a fool. Yes, the Qi-Blood Realm is strong, but it depends on who you're comparing yourself to!

How can you compare him to a monster who broke through the Qi and Blood Barrier at the tender age of nine?

Director Wang's face visibly changed from flushed red to liver-colored, and finally turned ashen.

He pointed sharply at the name at the top of the list on the giant Light Screen, and roared with all his might:

"Laugh! Laugh all you want! Look at the leaderboard! Zhou Ye already has 1200 points! What is Chen Fan? He can't even touch a fraction of Zhou Ye's score!"

This roar finally saved him some face.

Everyone instinctively looked at the leaderboard, where the glaring 1200 points indeed seemed like a mountain pressing down on all the participants.

Chen Fan's 364 points did indeed appear somewhat dim under the spotlight of the top scorer.

The laughter inside the Command Center gradually subsided.

Yes, no matter how prodigious one's talent, it still needs time to grow. The current points gap is an undeniable fact.

However, just as Director Wang, relying on his absolute advantage in the standings, straightened his back slightly and prepared to press his advantage and make a few more derogatory remarks,

Suddenly, the rankings on the Light Screen changed instantly.

One name, without any apparent reason, jumped from ninth place to sixth!

In an instant, Director Wang's expression froze.

Meanwhile, deep within the Quarantine Zone.

In a valley filled with jagged rocks, Chen Fan's figure appeared silently behind the shadow of a boulder.

His gaze locked onto a four-person team dozens of meters ahead, who were fiercely attacking a wounded Second Tier Anomalous Beast, the Red-Armored Scorpion.

Tiannan No. 5 High School

Ranked tenth on the leaderboard with a total of 306 points.

Chen Fan did not use his aura to intimidate as he had done before.

He straightened his slightly disheveled school uniform, and a shy, yet slightly frightened smile slowly appeared on his youthful face.

Then, like a lost child, he stumbled out from behind the boulder.

"Um?"

The four students from Tiannan No. 5 High School, who were engaged in fierce fighting, immediately spotted him.

Upon seeing the school uniform of Jiangnan No. 1 High School, the four of them instantly became alert, and their attack slowed down by a fraction.

The captain, a tall young boy, was about to question them when he saw the nine-year-old child bow slightly to them.

A soft, slightly timid voice drifted over on the wind.

"Excuse me, senior students..."

This harmless, innocent appearance, coupled with that flawless face, is incredibly alluring.

The four of them instantly relaxed most of their tense nerves.

A smug smile even appeared on the face of the Tiannan No. 5 High School. Getting such a legendary prodigy to ask for help was a unique sense of accomplishment.

However, just as he lowered his guard and was about to say a few polite words to show off his senior status,

A sudden and unexpected change has occurred!

The smile on the child's face, who had been shy and timid just a moment before, vanished instantly.

Chen Fan's figure left a faint afterimage in the same spot.

The next second, he appeared before the captain of the Tiannan No. 5 High School like a ghost!

That's too fast!

It was so fast that it reached the captain's pupils, which didn't even have time to contract!

All he saw was a slender, pale finger, which magnified infinitely in his horrified gaze, and then gently touched his brow.

"Senior, I won't stand on ceremony with your points."

"Puff."

The golden Qi and Blood flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The captain's vision was suddenly enveloped in darkness. He swayed, collapsed to the ground, and instantly fell into a coma.

"This..."

The remaining students from Tiannan No. 5 High School stared wide-eyed.

No, what's going on?

One second he was a polite junior, the next he transformed into a deadly demon.

This extreme contrast caused their CPUs to practically smoke.

Although they are the elite Prodigies of their respective schools, to put it bluntly... they are just fifteen or sixteen-year-old kids.

Chen Fan gave them no time to react. His figure moved like the wind, instantly cutting between the three of them, the hem of his school uniform drawing a sharp arc in the air.

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

Just as a team member raised his longsword, Chen Fan's hand blade struck first, precisely cutting into the Qi and Blood point on his wrist.

The man felt a numbness in his wrist, and the longsword slipped from his hand. Immediately afterward, a seemingly light palm strike landed on the back of his neck.

"Click."

With a soft cracking sound as his neck bones broke, the team member's vision went black, and he fell straight forward.

The other team member retreated in horror, only to find that his feet seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, unable to move at all.

A blur flashed before his eyes, and a hand was already pressed against the top of his head.

With a burst of energy, the third person collapsed limply to the ground.

The whole process was smooth and quick, taking less than three seconds. Chen Fan stopped and stood up, his school uniform still spotless.

He raised his wrist, tapped the points Points Terminal, and collected all the points for the entire Tiannan No. 5 High School team.

[Points +306]

[Current total points: 670]

[Current ranking: Sixth]

Chen Fan glanced at the rankings, then opened the map. Without lingering on any other points of light, he locked onto the brightest and largest point of light in the center of the map.

Zhou Ye.

Having identified his target, he flashed away without hesitation, heading straight in that direction.

Meanwhile, in an open area within the Quarantine Zone.

"Roar!"

A Steel-Armored Rhinoceros, its body as large as a small truck and covered in metallic scales, let out a mournful cry of despair before crashing to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Zhou Ye stood beside the rhinoceros carcass, his chest heaving violently, but his face was full of pride and smugness.

Beside him, two teammates, also from Tiannan Middle School, were so exhausted that they collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

One of them chuckled wryly, transferring all the dozens of points he had just earned on his wristband Terminal to Zhou Ye, while complaining, "Brother Ye, your dragon-raising strategy is too exhausting. We brothers worked so hard for half a day, and all the points went to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye let out a disdainful sneer.

"Nonsense!" He wiped the sweat from his brow, his eyes gleaming with disdain. "This Crimson Flame Earthheart Lotus, who but me is qualified to take it? Once I absorb it, I'll be able to break through to 150 kilocalories of Qi and Blood, and maybe... I can even get into the Blue Star Training Camp!"

He raised his wrist, looking at his terrifying score that had skyrocketed to 1358 points, and the smile on his lips grew even more blatant.

First, things are stable.
