Dark golden lightning tore through the sky as fierce winds whipped past Xu Jingming's ears.
He raised his right hand, and the Smart Armguard projected a translucent screen.
The Monster Hunting Competition's Points rankings updated in real time on it.
[Monster Hunting Competition Participants Remaining: 310,142 Rank 1, Louis (Godslayer Martial Hall): 8,417 Points Rank 2, Kate (Godslayer Martial Hall): 8,203 Points ... Rank 3,287, Xu Jingming (Eternal Star Alliance): 3,621 Points ...]
"Over three thousand..."
Xu Jingming frowned slightly.
This ranking was considerably lower than he had expected.
In that battle just now, he had eliminated nearly forty Godslayer Martial Hall elites in one go.
Yet in the Points rankings, he had only risen a few hundred places.
"I eliminated so many people, yet the increase in Points was this limited."
Xu Jingming's gaze darkened as he quickly understood why.
The Monster Hunting Competition had only been underway for a little over ten days.
At this stage, most participants were still exploring Bloodforge Star and adapting to its environment.
Even the Godslayer Martial Hall elites had only hunted a limited number of demon beasts, so they did not carry many Points to begin with.
Naturally, defeating them yielded few Points.
"It seems that eliminating other contestants early on really isn't very profitable, and it also carries the risk of being eliminated."
Xu Jingming pondered silently.
Most Godslayer Martial Hall contestants followed the Martial Warrior path.
Elementalists were scarce, and their Mental Strength generally wasn't outstanding.
Only because of that had he been able to get close in that battle without being detected beforehand.
If it had been a team led by a Star Tier Rank 9 Elementalist instead,
his Demonic Energy Clone would likely have been locked onto the moment it entered their Mental Strength perception range,
