The live stream from the interstellar station to Ocher Soil was not as fast as the local stream from Mystic Radiance, with a delay of about two minutes.
"Ha! Brilliant!"
Inside the Red Earth Academy Research Institute, Xie Ming, who had been watching Wen Jing's live stream from beginning to end, couldn't help but slap his thigh in admiration.
When he saw Wen Jing and Luosi together, he was extremely tense and incredulous.
However, precisely because he found it hard to accept, he watched intently, keeping the camera focused on the live stream, and soon discovered the clues.
After his emotions had gone through a rollercoaster, Xie Ming reached out and took the drink from the magnetic levitation tray, taking a satisfying sip...
"Beep! Beep! Beep beep beep!"
The first two beeps were normal notifications. Xie Ming was leisurely diverting his attention from the live stream to check the messages when he was startled by the rapid, continuous vibrations that followed, almost causing him to spit out his drink.
What happened?
Xie Ming put the water glass away and quickly checked the messages.
[Received Integral from the 'Online Library' for purchasing academic papers!]
[Received Integral from the 'Online Library' for purchasing academic papers!]
[receive...]
As soon as he opened the message, thousands of identical notifications of Integral being credited to his account flooded in.
After a moment of confusion, Xie Ming realized what was happening and immediately opened the online library.
The paper from that insect research project, which was used to fraudulently obtain funding, was seeing its download speed skyrocket and had already been tagged as a trending topic.
Even though it was just a paper accompanying the project, and the purchase price was only 3 Integral, the research institute instantly earned tens of thousands of Integral.
"As expected, I knew this project had great potential!"
While offering his hindsight advice, Xie Ming quickly added two zeros to the submitted budget for the insect project.

Aside from those investigating Wen Jing, many viewers simultaneously watched Wen Jing's 'empty' live stream room, where scenery moved slowly without ever revealing its form.
On several occasions, it was even possible to predict that Wen Jing would brush past some contestants who came to explore the crystal cluster area, but the other party would not notice her presence at all.
"To be able to maintain invisibility for such a long time, that's an amazing ability!"
Upon further observation, the Analysis team discovered that the ability to conceal Wen Jing is not the spatial invisibility possessed by some advanced Awakened.
"It might be some kind of Optical Mimicry; if someone in the same physical space is in the same position as her, they could bump into her."
In the most dangerous moment, the other contestants appeared in the center of the frame.
In the area where a 'collision' should have occurred, they noticed the image shifted upwards, indicating that Wen Jing's position had changed.
" Wen Jing might not have been this strong when he first awakened, but later underwent the 'abnormal development' mentioned in the paper..."
"The truly remarkable thing about her invisibility is that she completely concealed her own energy and aura, which is the key to her ability to deceive the other contestants."
"Furthermore, speed is significantly limited while in stealth mode."
Because of Wen Jing's performance in the Freshman League, the previously unknown project paper from the Red Earth Academy gained unprecedented popularity.
Many Analysis, while reading the paper, came to a conclusion that they were fairly accurate in Analysis Wen Jing's stealth abilities.
However, knowing these things outside the competition is useless; what's fatal is that the athletes inside the competition don't know them.
However, after going into hiding, Wen Jing didn't make a move, presumably he was slowly recovering.
During this period, some more contestants were eliminated due to fighting.
However, because of the fierce battle between Wen Jing and Luosi, and not wanting history to repeat itself, all the top players became restrained and implicitly maintained a tacit understanding of not fighting each other.
Two hours later, the competition reached its 48th hour, the final day of the tournament.
At the edge of the active continent, black mist billowed and swirled, and the safe zone shrank again, leaving only a little over 6,000 square kilometers.
At the point when the circle shrank, battles broke out in various parts of the previously quiet and deserted arena.
On the large screen outside the arena, the number of surviving players dropped from over 800 to just over 700.
"Call..."
The boundary between the safe zone and the nighttime zone.
Having just eliminated a Azure Jade contestant, Keluо emerged from the black mist and returned to the sunlight in the safe zone, looking slightly relieved.
The Wilderness Beast in the Night Zone are ten times stronger than those in the Safe Zone, and he had just encountered a beast tide. If it weren't for his special talent and the fact that he was Mystic Radiance Springborn with a 57% compatibility rate on the field, it would have been impossible for him to come out unharmed.
The next moment, various colored dots of light fell from the sky, another wave of resource points was arriving.
Suddenly, a golden hue appeared from within.
Keluо glanced at the distance between himself and the Decoy Beacon and his eyes lit up. "What great luck!"
He didn't encounter any other top players in this area; the strongest one had just been eliminated by him in the night zone, so the Decoy Beacon was naturally his for the taking.
While top players consider the terrain converter to be the most useful item right now, no one would complain about having too few resource packs.
Keluо flashed and Extreme Speed towards the location where he had landed at the resource point.
He was just five meters away from the golden resource point.
"Um?"
Keluо's expression suddenly changed; he sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
However, he did not let his guard down, and instantly, a layer of diamond-like brilliance appeared on his body.
Keluо's Wilderness Body is the [ Myriad Transformations Prism ], with the characteristics of 'reflection, replication, and transformation'. It is a very special type among top players. Even though his compatibility is not 59%, he is still recognized as one of the top players.
At this moment, the ' Refraction Shield ' on his body has the physical strength of a level 2 shield. What's more special is that it can reflect various energy attacks. No matter how strong the attack is, it can weaken it by 70%, making it a hard counter to energy-type opponents.
Where is the enemy?
Keluо reacted quickly enough. After scanning the area and not seeing anyone, he immediately used energy to erect a series of developing prisms around himself, reflecting all the abnormalities in the light mirrors.
An enemy that can turn invisible? Mo Lan?
A name flashed through Keluо's mind.
As his classmate, he knew that Mo Lan could become invisible, but his prism could also refract space. It could be said that he was the least afraid of Mo Lan among the top players!
Keluо immediately searched for spatial anomalies, but...
No! No! No!
Wait, there's more!
Suddenly, Keluо noticed an anomaly in the light and shadow structure, like a failed work by a mediocre painter. What should have been a normal boundary between light and shadow had the shadow reversed.
The attack had already begun by the time they discovered where the enemy might be.
"Boom!"
A whip kick materialized from the void, unleashing its full power at twelve times the normal rate, instantly blasting Keluо's head apart.
[ Mystic Radiance player ' Keluо ' has been eliminated, ranked 695th]
"Instant kill?!"
The scene at the venue and the live stream chat were in an uproar, not to mention that many bettors on Keluо's account were wiped out.
Not everyone was watching the match live. Some people who didn't follow the Luosi match, those who stopped paying attention to Wen Jing's fate after Luosi was eliminated, and those who only started watching after Wen Jing disappeared... it's understandable that they didn't expect it.
Even those who had been following Wen Jing's live stream all along didn't expect that her first target after going into hiding would be a top player like Keluо.
More importantly, she instantly killed Keluо with her first move!
Even with a preemptive strike, it's still an instant kill!
"Isn't this Keluо ranked 36th? How come he's playing like a D-level player?"
As soon as Keluо stepped out of his equipment room, he heard relentless questioning from the audience.
He frowned deeply, feeling incredibly aggrieved: Why did these people say such things about him? He dared to say that if any other top player had encountered Mo Lan, who had prepared a sneak attack in advance, the result would have been the same!
I never expected Mo Lan to have such a hidden trick up her sleeve... Her invisibility ability is so strong, and he was still one step behind.
Thinking this, Keluо opened Mo Lan's live stream with a complicated expression, and then froze.
Because Mo Lan in the scene is far away in unfamiliar terrain and is fighting with someone else, it is impossible for him to teleport to his location to ambush him.
At that moment, Keluо felt as if he had seen a ghost.
If it wasn't Mo Lan, then who was the person who just eliminated him?
Chapter 103
Based on the reactions of the live audience and the live chat, Keluо found the culprit who eliminated him in disbelief.
" Wen Jing? How could it be her?! Didn't she die together with Luosi?"
His gaze was fixed on Wen Jing's moving, unmanned live-streaming studio, as if his understanding of the world had been turned upside down today.
Isn't Wen Jing an F-rank? How can he become invisible?
At this moment, Luosi was also feeling the same way as Keluо.
He stared silently at the arena, while his staff and Analysis around him dared not utter a sound.
If Wen Jing Jing's previous act of dying together with Luosi was considered a way to gain fame by stepping on him, then now it has been proven that that battle was just part of her plan, and it can be said that she completely crushed his pride.
The fact that he was able to accomplish this is enough to prove that Wen Jing's true strength is still above his.
What I once thought was just a fleeting cloud is now showing signs of spreading into a full-blown shadow...
Unlike the two Mystic Radiance prodigies who were experiencing a mental breakdown, ■■■ had already completed psychological reconstruction. His bent back gradually straightened, and he became one of the people present who genuinely hoped that Wen Jing would strive for a high ranking.
"We need to eliminate more people!"
Keluо was instantly killed by Wen Jing, and he was also instantly killed by Wen Jing. Keluо is a B-level Mystic Radiance Spring Semester student and a top player, so he = B-level Mystic Radiance Spring Semester student and top player, no problem.
