The four leaderboards in the user interface weren't just for show.
Deathmatch participants who made the list received tangible rewards.
At a fixed time each month, title rewards were distributed all at once based on ranking.
The higher the rank, the higher the star level of the title awarded.
Deathmatch participants wouldn't actually choose to wear these titles. Most treated them as materials for upgrading their star levels.
Because leaderboard rankings affected their own interests, the four lists always drew plenty of attention after each Deathmatch Showdown.
The most closely watched one was the Ability Leaderboard.
Because it was so unpredictable, dark horses often appeared on the list.
Deathmatch participants with a little more experience were used to seeing that.
But a performance as outrageous as Lu Bai's was truly unprecedented.
He occupied three of the top twenty spots. Most people wouldn't even dare dream of doing that.
What's more, Lu Bai didn't just appear on the Ability Leaderboard.
His username could also be found on the Talent Leaderboard and even the Title Leaderboard.
His appearance on these lists made one thing clear to everyone.
This Clever Mephisto could only be a newcomer who had just completed the first three rounds of the Deathmatch Showdown, and had most likely only just chosen his username.
The emergence of a history-making newcomer was certainly big news.
Messages flooded the Deathmatch System's live chat channel, and activity was visibly on the rise.
Many users saw that the popular chat channels were moving too fast to follow and immediately switched to the Deathmatch System's forum.
The number of posts and replies was growing exponentially.
In no time at all, countless popular threads had racked up thousands of replies.
Every single title had something to do with Lu Bai.
