Chapter 150: First place in the competition, they... are here!
Xia Jinxuan's eyes widened, and she could hardly believe her eyes.
She stared at the ranking list, as if she wanted to see through the numbers on it.
"This...how is this possible?" she stammered, her voice full of shock and confusion.
Jiang Yu's stats suddenly soared by 4000!
Why is that?
Did he suddenly find dozens of fourth-level materials?
Otherwise, how could he increase so much all at once!
Mo Lan Shiyun also fell into a brief silence.
Her brows were furrowed and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
She originally thought she had already secured victory, but Jiang Yu's sudden reversal made her feel unprecedented pressure.
The other people in the trial ground were also extremely surprised.
They were discussing various issues, all speculating on how Jiang Yu had managed to overtake in such a short period of time.
"What on earth did Jiang Yu do? How come his territory attributes increased so much all of a sudden?"
"Yeah, I remember he was far behind Mo Lan Shiyun before, how come he is ahead all of a sudden?"
"Did he find some particularly precious material? Or did he complete some hidden mission?"
People had all sorts of guesses, but no one could determine the real reason why Jiang Yu suddenly overtook them.
Xia Jinxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She turned to look at Mo Lan Shiyun, only to find that she was also staring at her.
"What should we do?" Xia Jinxuan's voice trembled a little.
Mo Lan Shiyun was silent for a while, then slowly spoke:
"Don't panic, I'll go find the materials right away..."
"It must still be in time..."
Xia Jinxuan nodded, and the panic in her heart subsided a little.
She knew that she couldn't lose her composure at this time.
But at this moment.
[Announcement for the whole area: The first stage of the new lord trial has ended! ]
[The ranking of the gorgeous competition is officially settled! 】
[Congratulations to Lord Jiang Yu for winning the first place in this gorgeous competition! ]
At this moment, the entire trial ground erupted in uproar.
The gorgeous contest is over!
Jiang Yu actually surpassed Mo Lan Shiyun and became the first!
Mo Lan Shiyun can no longer overtake!
"How is this possible? Jiang Yu actually surpassed Mo Lan Shiyun!"
Many people exclaimed, and his face was full of disbelief.
"This...this is simply a miracle!" said another person in a trembling voice, his heart filled with shock.
Mo Lan Shiyun’s fans were struck by a bolt from the blue.
They originally thought that Mo Lan Shiyun had a sure win, but they didn't expect to be overtaken by Jiang Yu at the last moment.
There were expressions of disappointment and unwillingness on their faces, as if they were unable to accept this cruel reality.
There is an indescribable atmosphere in the air of the trial ground: shock, admiration, envy...all kinds of emotions intertwined together to form unique pictures.
Jiang Yu himself was standing in the center of the territory at this time, looking at the towering tree that was growing.
The tree is very tall, as if reaching the sky. Its canopy blocks out the sun and brings coolness to the territory.
Its trunk is thick and solid, as if it contains endless power.
It has lush branches and leaves, and each leaf is like a carefully carved work of art, sparkling with a dreamy luster.
What’s even more amazing is that the tree emits a faint light, like a dancing elf in a dream.
Under the tree, the light and shadows are mottled, like a dream.
This is the dreamlike Qiluo tree after it has grown up!
The reason why he was able to surpass Mo Lan Shiyun was because the Dreamy Qi Luo Tree had grown successfully!
[Dreamlike Qiluo Tree]: The rarest of the fourth-tier ornamental plants, it is dreamlike and can amplify all surrounding decorations.
[Special Effect]: The effects of all fourth-order and lower ornamental plants and decorative materials within a 35-unit radius are increased by 20%.
This is also the reason why his territory value skyrocketed by 4000!
"Phew...luckily the tree grew up at the last moment, otherwise we would have only come in second place!"
Lin Hong also breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yu looked at Lin Hong and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work these days."
To be honest, Lin Hong made a huge contribution.
Lin Hong has indeed been extremely busy these days.
He had hardly had a good rest since the glam competition began.
Every day, he rushed around the territory, busy with various trivial matters.
He knew that Jiang Yu's search speed for materials was not as fast as Mo Lan Shiyun's, so he worked harder, hoping to make up for this gap. He modified the layout of the territory to make the acquisition of resources more convenient and efficient.
He directed the soldiers to carry out cleaning work to ensure that the territory was clean and beautiful.
At the same time, he continues to optimize production processes and improve resource output.
Under his leadership, the operation of the territory became well organized and all work was carried out in an orderly manner.
It is precisely because of Lin Hong's efforts that Jiang Yu's territory can continue to move forward in the gorgeous competition and is not too far behind Mo Lan Shiyun.
Finally, they were able to rely on the Dreamy Qiluo Tree to successfully turn the tide and take first place.
Otherwise, if the gap is too big, even if Jiang Yu has the Dream Qiluo Tree, it will be useless...
at the same time.
Somewhere in the trial land.
Many referees were also watching this scene.
"In the end, Jiang Yu still took first place..."
“The competition is really fierce this year!”
Xu Haoyu was also surprised. He didn't expect that Jiang Yu actually got first place.
He looked at Zhang Yang, "Are you just guessing, or do you know something?"
Zhang Yang smiled, "I don't know anything, and I didn't guess."
"But my prediction was correct!"
Xu Haoyu: “…”
He was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Yang.
This guy is hopeless.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the chief referee Shui Qinglan.
He had heard some things about Shui Qinglan.
But he didn't know her well.
I don't know what she thinks of Jiang Yu...
As for Shui Qinglan, she was indeed shocked by Jiang Yu.
Although she was surprised to see Jiang Yu slightly defeat Mo Lan Shiyun before.
But that was only a small victory.
And now Jiang Yu has won the first place in the gorgeous competition, which is definitely... a big victory!
She had a vague feeling that this year's top scholar would most likely be Jiang Yu...
Suddenly, at this moment.
A panel popped up with a phone icon on it.
There's a call coming in.
"Hmm? Contact from the Human Realm Central?"
Shui Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then clicked to connect:
"Mr. Tang, what's the matter?"
"Xiao Lan, I have something very important to tell you. A large group of people from the Ten Thousand Races have infiltrated the rear of the human realm and are nowhere to be found."
Shui Qinglan's expression changed:
"what?!"
"The Ten Thousand Races have infiltrated the rear of the human realm?"
The voice on the other end of the phone said:
"Yes, according to the feedback from the front line, there are suspected Myriad races sneaking into the human territory."
"According to our investigation, the number of the Ten Thousand Races' troops was approximately several hundred thousand. They destroyed several small territories and then disappeared without a trace."
Shui Qinglan immediately said:
"This is impossible. With so many of them, how can we not find any trace of them?!"
The voice on the other end of the phone said:
"Indeed, we also find it very strange."
"We initially suspected that they had the secret assistance of the Shadow Clan..."
"Hasn't the Shadow Clan disappeared for many years?!" Shui Qinglan couldn't believe it.
"That's true, but... you also know that since they were able to find someone from the Mind Reader Clan to deal with you, no one can guarantee that they won't find someone from the Shadow Clan."
"Anyway, you have to be careful. They might be going for this year's Novice Trial..."
Shui Qinglan frowned immediately. She was about to say something when the neutral system tone sounded.
【Start distributing rewards now! 】
[Specific rewards... rustling... rustling...]
That extremely familiar announcement sound actually went wrong at this moment!
Shui Qinglan's face instantly became extremely ugly. She took a deep breath and said:
"It's too late..."
"They are already here!"
