First on the Points Leaderboard, Unexpected Change

Bang, bang, bang.

As the Steel Armor Rhinoceros was sent flying by Lin Tian, it snapped several large trees before finally crashing heavily to the ground with no signs of life.

The scene deeply shocked everyone in the live broadcast room.

"Lin Tian sent the Steel Armor Rhinoceros flying with one punch!"

To send a Steel Armor Rhinoceros flying with a single punch, just how much strength would that take?

Not to mention that before Lin Tian sent the Steel Armor Rhinoceros flying, he had also shattered its notoriously tough horn.

This required not only immense strength but also a terrifying physique, a physique tougher than the Steel Armor Rhinoceros itself.

"Martial Dao's first three layers, how could a Martial Artist's physique possibly rival a Steel Armor Rhinoceros?!"

A comment voiced the confusion.

Lin Tian sending the Steel Armor Rhinoceros flying was a fact. The Steel Armor Rhinoceros had no prior injuries and was full of vitality before encountering Lin Tian, making it impossible for it to have been a pre-arranged Demonic Beast for Lin Tian.

"Didn't you guys notice the crimson mist floating around Lin Tian?"

"Could this be Lin Tian's cultivation technique or martial skill?"

Prompted by the comments, many people finally noticed the crimson mist floating around Lin Tian.

"What kind of cultivation technique or martial skill is this, to possess such terrifying defense with so little consumption!"

Many were astonished, having never heard of such a technique or skill.

"This doesn't seem like a martial skill, but rather Blood Essence. It's similar to how Martial Artists at the Martial Dao Fourth Layer can utilize their Blood Essence externally. Those at the Martial Dao Third Level can also let their Blood Essence drift outside their bodies, but not to this extent."

"Blood Essence? How is that possible!"

When this comment appeared, many felt doubt.

Among the students participating in the college entrance examination, there were only six geniuses at the Martial Dao Second Layer Late-stage. Lin Tian's name was not among them.

If he wasn't even at the Martial Dao Third Level, how could he achieve what a Martial Artist at the Martial Dao Fourth Layer could?

"This is just my speculation. My area of research is related to a Martial Artist's Blood Essence."

The person then posted another comment.

Research!

Upon seeing these words, some people clicked on that person's profile.

"Holy crap, a Professor of Blood Essence Research at Dragon Soaring University!"

A shocked comment appeared, followed by a flood of similar comments.

A professor from Dragon Soaring University, what an honor, to be appearing in the live broadcast room for the college entrance examination alongside them.

"If it truly is Blood Essence, what kind of Martial Dao Second Layer Martial Artist could achieve this?"

At this point, a comment posed the question.

After this question was asked, there was a long silence in Lin Tian's live stream, with everyone waiting for the professor's answer.

"I'm not sure if there are any martial skills in the Dragon Country that utilize Blood Essence, but I know that a Martial Dao Second Layer or even Martial Dao First Layer Martial Artist who can achieve this without using martial skills can only have one possibility..."

The Dragon Soaring University Blood Essence Research Professor suddenly posted a comment, raising the anticipation of the viewers to its peak.

But they waited for a full ten minutes and did not receive a further response.

Until a comment appeared.

"That professor's account has been deleted. It probably involves some secrets we can't know yet."

The moment this result appeared, everyone felt a sense of disappointment.

"Even a professor from Dragon Soaring University is like this. Just how many secrets are hidden within? Now I understand why Qing Province singled out Lin Tian."

"Indeed. With such a method, and being able to send a Steel Armor Rhinoceros flying with one punch, this level of strength is probably comparable to those six Martial Dao Second Layer Late-stage individuals."

Unknowingly, the audience in Lin Tian's live stream had begun to equate Lin Tian with the six prodigies like Dongfang Huang.

This left the viewers who had just arrived at Lin Tian's live stream feeling confused.

Gradually, under the shocking scenes of Lin Tian instantly killing Demonic Beasts, the audience in his live stream surpassed that of the Qing Province live stream.

"Two thousand points, he's in first place."

Lin Tian looked at the information on his wristband. His points from hunting Demonic Beasts had reached two thousand, surpassing Jiang Mingyue to take first place in Qing Province.

"I should have attracted quite a bit of attention by now. What I need to do next is display my strength so I can negotiate for more favorable terms with the Four Great Academies."

"At the deepest part of each province's examination area, there will be a Tier 3 Early-stage Demonic Beast. This is meant for the top geniuses of each province to cooperate and tackle."

"If I can defeat it alone, I should gain a significant advantage. Moreover, I haven't even managed to lure out those fish with this bait yet."

Having made his decision, Lin Tian continued to walk deeper into the forest.

He knew there were several monstrous talents in the Imperial Capital. With him not having hunted many Demonic Beasts on the first day, he needed to increase his points as much as possible.

"First place, Lin Tian is in first place!"

Seeing the Qing Province points leaderboard change, the viewers in the live stream became incredibly excited.

They had witnessed Lin Tian go from nothing to first place on the Qing Province points leaderboard.

From being insignificant themselves, they were now excited by Lin Tian's success.

"Lin Tian is still pushing forward. I heard there are Tier 3 Demonic Beasts in the college entrance exam. Is Lin Tian going to challenge a Tier 3 Demonic Beast?"

"How is that possible? That's a Tier 3 Demonic Beast. How could Lin Tian dare to challenge it alone?"

Many people didn't believe Lin Tian could challenge a Tier 3 Demonic Beast. Lin Tian's ability to instantly kill a Steel Armor Rhinoceros with one punch was indeed very strong.

However, the power gap between a Tier 3 Demonic Beast and a Tier 2 Demonic Beast was huge. It was basically impossible for Lin Tian to challenge a Tier 3 Demonic Beast by himself.

"He can run if he can't win, so there's no need to worry too much. Tier 3 Demonic Beasts have fixed territories."

Many viewers comforted themselves.

"A late-stage Tier 2 Crimson Tiger, this is going to be a bit troublesome."

Lin Tian, who was continuously moving forward in the forest, finally encountered his first difficult opponent.

A late-stage Tier 2 Crimson Tiger. Compared to human Martial Artists, a late-stage Tier 2 beast had 200 more Blood Essence than a mid-stage Tier 2 beast, a significant difference in strength.

"This guy should allow me to test my strength."

Lin Tian looked at the Crimson Tiger with some excitement in his eyes.

Since the start of the college entrance exam, he had never revealed his true strength, and all the demonic beasts he had encountered were killed in one hit.

The late-stage Tier 2 Crimson Tiger would finally allow him to enjoy some of the thrill of battle.

Immediately, Lin Tian charged forward like a cannonball, his Blood Essence surging around him, forming a hardened armor on his limbs.

"Roar!"

The Crimson Tiger let out a roar upon seeing Lin Tian charging at it, as if a small bug was provoking it.

When Lin Tian's fist landed squarely on the Crimson Tiger's head, the once ferocious Crimson Tiger stiffened, then slowly toppled to its side.

As it fell, the Crimson Tiger's head swayed, stunned by Lin Tian's punch.

"As expected, I can't kill it in one punch."

Seeing this, Lin Tian sighed slightly. Taking advantage of the Crimson Tiger's daze, he leaped above it and stomped down heavily.

After doing this, he moved to the Crimson Tiger's side and fiercely attacked its abdomen until he had punched through it before stopping.

"Ugh!"

Such a bloody scene made many viewers in the live broadcast room feel disgusted. It wasn't that they hadn't seen demonic beasts being hunted.

But the sight of Lin Tian directly punching through the Crimson Tiger's abdomen, with its internal organs spilling out mixed with blood, was hard for them to accept.

Even Lin Tian, the one who did it, felt disgusted.

"Looks like I need to find a suitable weapon. It would be at least more practical in the early stages of Martial Dao."

Lin Tian jumped away with a look of disgust. Protected by the mist of blood, the blood did not splash onto him.

"2,500 points, let's keep moving. I'll aim for 5,000 first."

Just as Lin Tian was about to leave and continue deeper into the forest, his expression suddenly tensed. His Blood Essence surged, quickly forming an armor that enveloped his entire body.

After Lin Tian finished this, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the nearby bushes and lunged towards his face.
