Ji Zhixing looked up at the sky.

As the Blood Sun set, a beam of red light shot skyward within the Blood Beast Secret Realm, bursting across the sky into an enormous screen of light.

The third day's Points Ranking appeared right on time.

They immediately looked up.

The rankings on the screen were clear at a glance.

The top three remained unchanged.

But-

Fourth place: Ji Zhixing, Regular Class 21, points: 145,000.

Fifth place: Ye Chutong, Genius Class, 143,000 points.

"Fourth! You're really fourth!"

Zhou Han shouted excitedly.

Su Qing clapped in excitement too. "You actually knocked Ye Chutong from the Genius Class down a spot!"

The corners of Xiao Mingyue's lips rose slightly, amusement shining in her eyes, but she said nothing.

As Ji Zhixing looked at his name on the screen, a faint misgiving stirred within him.

"145,000 points-fourth place-"

He thought to himself, This is a little conspicuous.

But it shouldn't be too much of a problem. After all, all I've brought out are Blood Crystals. In other respects, my luck has been a little better, but only to a limited extent.

He took a deep breath and pushed those thoughts down.

Meanwhile, the other Rain City University students in the Secret Realm were also briefly taken aback by the Points Ranking in the sky.

"Ji Zhixing-him again?"

"Fourth place? He even knocked Ye Chutong down?"

"Amazing! How on earth did he do it?"

Discussions broke out in every corner of the Secret Realm.

In a blood-red forest.

Gu Zheng stood beneath a large tree, looking up at the screen as his expression shifted again and again.

His gaze was fixed on fourth place, on that name.

"Ji Zhixing-"

He forced the name through gritted teeth, clenching his fists until his knuckles cracked.

"Up another place-"
