Xu Yuan kept his head down and ate.
"Are you that hungry?"
Zhang Pengcheng sounded surprised.
"I was worried about being challenged, so I held back. Now I figure nobody dares challenge our group," Xu Yuan said through a mouthful of food. The Spirit Food served by Nine Luminaries-Luofu was excellent. That was probably because the emperor was here, along with a Demon Race delegation, so they had spared no expense to keep up appearances. They could hardly serve food this good every day.
His Life Force surged.
Just then, a challenge rang out outside.
Sure enough, it named students from other teams.
By dawn, not a single Monster had challenged Xu Yuan's team.
The first light of morning appeared.
The wind and snow gradually died down.
The sky was a brilliant blue. Snow and Ice covered the rolling Mountains, which gleamed a magnificent gold beneath the dawn light.
Some had been eliminated.
Others remained.
The Human Race side had endured the whole night, and exhaustion showed on every face.
Except among Xu Yuan's group.
Xu Yuan himself was asleep.
He had brought a quilt, found an empty table, stacked two Meditation Cushions for a pillow, and slept like a log.
The others had not been quite so brazen, but they had passed the night peacefully, sitting cross-legged on Meditation Cushions to regulate their breathing. They were full of energy. A new Examiner appeared without a sound.
Standing outside the Grand Array, he called out clearly:
"Enough."
"We now move on to the next stage of the test."
"Everyone on the Human Race side will enter the Points Competition System."
"You each start with zero Points."
“Each time you challenge a Monster, you earn one Point. You lose nothing if you fail, and earn one bonus Point if you win.”
