Chapter 228: Blast your score!

The moment Jia Jiao announced the rewards, the students on the beach began to breathe more quickly.

In my heart, I am envious beyond words!

There's nothing we can do about it, the rewards are so generous, especially for the top three.

Even if you are in third place, not counting the duel points exchanged for your high points, the extra duel point rewards alone are as high as 1,000 points!

That’s not all, you can even get three cards customized by the association.

What is customization?

The Association will tailor a deck for you, combining your personal wishes, analyzing your current deck, and planning the most suitable reinforcement direction for you. On this basis, these three cards will be rewarded.

The fact that the association helps you reference, build, and improve your deck alone cannot be priced clearly!

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

There are so many strong people in the association, and they are not idle all day long, so they are dedicated to giving guidance to everyone.

You have to perform well in order for them to take the time to help you improve.

At this moment, the top three have fully possessed such value!

Therefore, even if people are extremely envious, basically no one will be jealous.

Because everyone knows that anyone who can reach this position must be the top freshman in Jiangcheng and even the whole country, no matter in terms of talent or strength!

Although the reward is exaggerated, such a top talent deserves it!

At this time, the crowd watching couldn't help but whisper.

The main topic of discussion was naturally who would be the top three.

One name after another was brought up for discussion.

The ones mentioned most often are still Lin You, Du Zhizhong, and Xia Mu.

Not only is he famous, he has also demonstrated amazing strength during previous training.

This proves one point: there is no false reputation.

There is only one person who is still difficult to judge.

Lin You!

Before the training camp, many students from Jiangcheng University praised him highly, saying that he could "crush" everything.

The tone can be summed up in one word - crazy!

So many people thought that these students from Jiangcheng University had gone crazy, and some Maple Leaf students who couldn't stand it anymore even came out to provoke them.

However, the provocation did not lead to a duel, but ended with Du Zhizhong's apology.

That time, although there was no fight, facing the provocation, Lin You chose to stand up and respond strongly, appearing to be quite confident.

Later in the training camp, he also showed everyone where his confidence came from.

Scored ten points in the instantaneous explosive power test, and fought against the super black star monster Chimera when fighting against the wooden man.

They are all extremely eye-catching!

But even so, based on these alone, most people feel that he is on par with Xia Mu and Xiao Yi from the same school, but there is still a gap compared to Du Zhizhong.

But based on the comments from Jiangcheng University that praised him highly, one can feel that Lin You may still have a trump card.

Perhaps, like Du Zhizhong... he also has a congenital physique suitable for demons!

Only in this way can we explain why Lin You became a "myth".

If you think about it this way, Lin You and Du Zhizhong may be at the same level, and the gap between them, no matter who is better or worse, must be very small.

After all, not everyone can witness the final stage of the Magic Shell training, and only a handful of people can make it to that point.

But only these people know how terrifying Lin You is.

now.

Jia Jiao ignored the discussions, but the moment he opened his mouth, the discussions naturally subsided.

Rankings to be announced!

This is what everyone is most concerned about at the moment. All speculations are not as indisputable as the facts.

"As I said earlier, each person who completes the mission outside of the top ten will receive an additional 200 Duel Points. I won't go into detail about the specific rankings of these people, but now let's talk about the students who rank fourth to tenth, each of whom will receive an additional 500 Duel Points."

After that, he got straight to the point: "Tenth place, Zhang Xia, 160 points, ninth place, Zeng Xi, 192 points, eighth place, Xiao Yi, 216 points, seventh place, Qi Yuxuan, 231 points, sixth place, Du Zhizhong, 237 points, fifth place, Xia Mu, 244 points, fourth place, Ji Ming, 491 points. Each of the above names will be awarded an additional 500 points."

“…”

Jia Jiao gave a quick explanation, appearing indifferent throughout. But the moment he finished, the entire beach fell silent.

But almost everyone's face was full of disbelief.

This points ranking...are you kidding us?

It must be like this, right?

Instructor Jia, it’s already this late and you’re still making such unfunny jokes.

On the one hand, strong doubts arise instinctively.

But on the other hand, they felt that Jia Jiao's cold and solemn expression did not seem like he was making fun of them.

There is no need for that!

But if this isn't a joke, this ranking is a bit... too weird, right?

It would be fine if Zhang Xia, the rookie king of Feiheng High School, was at the bottom of the points list, but wasn't Du Zhizhong's position too careless?

That’s Du Zhizhong!

The high-spirited rookie king of Maple Leaf High School, with an innate physique suitable for demons that has not appeared in Jiangcheng for many years!

In the previous training camp, the performance was extremely strong and showed its full strength!

In everyone's mind, this person should have been the undisputed Rookie King of Jiangcheng this year, but the sudden appearance of the equally incredible Lin You cast a question mark over the title.

But even so, in the minds of more people, Du Zhizhong is still slightly better than Lin You!

But now...

Everyone was shocked and could hardly believe this ranking.

Although we also know that this trip to the underworld is for the purpose of rescue, the assessment is naturally based on many factors, so it is normal for accidents to occur.

But that was Du Zhizhong!

No matter what, it should be among the top three, right?

But now, he is only ranked sixth. The most shocking thing is that the current highest scorer... Ji Ming, is actually ranked fourth?

Not only that, from the scores, it can be seen that the points between Xiao Yi, who is eighth, and Xia Mu, who is fifth, are actually not far apart, but are only 28 points apart, spanning multiple ranks.

When it came to Ji Ming who was in fourth place, his points soared a lot, almost reaching 500 points. This score was already twice as much as Xia Mu who was in the previous place!

How can such an ending not be shocking?

The key point is... after eliminating so many people at once, the ownership of the top three becomes even more confusing!

Du Zhizhong himself was not too surprised by this result.

Including other people, they all met each other, so they knew that the key to open the palace gate was actually provided by Ji Ming, Song Ming and Deng Yuxin.

This key is extremely important.

After opening the palace, they were greeted by a large number of sleepers.

The exact number of sleepers is unknown, and no one asks about it. After all, it is someone else's discovery, and no matter how many they have found, they are not obligated to tell you.

Moreover, they were kind enough to leave behind some sleepers to share with others for liberation.

Even though many of them cannot be liberated for the time being, as discoverers and openers of the door, it is considered polite for them to stay.

At this moment, I do feel regretful, after all, I missed out on the generous top three rewards, but since I have tried my best, thinking about it any further will only add to my troubles and make myself unhappy.

If I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, I'm doomed... Yes, that's it, yes... Bullshit!

So sad!

What a generous reward!

At this moment, several people on the list who failed to make it into the top three were more or less unwilling to give up.

It’s a good thing to be unwilling to give up... This way, you will have the motivation to keep making progress in the future!

"Okay, now let's announce the top three."

Regardless of the dead silence, Jia Jiao spoke again, and this time, he instantly drew everyone's attention back.

The ranking just read out, because it deviated greatly from everyone's imagination, gave off a strong sense of unreality.

But it is precisely because of this sense of unreality that people are a hundred times more curious about the top three!

At this point, who else fits the top three spots?

Will there be another big upset?

Who will be the first in the end?

Lin You?

Theoretically speaking, after confirming that Du Zhizhong will not be among the top three, it can almost be determined that the first place will be him!

But that is based on the previous logic!

The current situation is... Du Zhizhong not only didn't get first or second place, he wasn't even in the top three, but ranked sixth!

How unexpected!

From this perspective, it is normal that Lin You did not get first place.

When it came to the top three, Jia Jiao's announcement was not so straightforward, and he seemed to have learned to keep people in suspense.

But if you look closely, you will find that Jia Jiao's gaze lingered on Lin You for a while, and there were faint fluctuations in his eyes.

At this moment, he exhaled lightly and said, "Third place, Deng Yuxin, 517 points."

517!

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and many people gasped. This was the first one to break 500 points.

Points exceeding 500 can be converted into duel merits!

Many of you present here have never heard of this duel feat.

The few who know it only have a rough idea.

This thing seems to be a merit exchange system within the Duelist Association.

Duel Merits are to the Duelist Association as Duel Points are to major universities.

Any more, I don’t understand.

But just knowing this is actually enough.

The strength of the Duelist Association is beyond doubt!

In a nutshell, all the card-related resources you can imagine can be found there!

"I'm the third?"

Deng Yuxin pointed at herself, a little surprised and a little excited, "Haha, this must be the little cute thing's credit!"

“…”

Not far away, Lin You was speechless when he heard this. This girl, if she likes the chestnut ball, then she likes it, but she doesn’t have to be obsessed with it, right?

Although the little guy is really adorable.

Lin You didn't dwell on this and glanced at Ji Ming. This guy was actually in a rather miserable situation.

Compared with Deng Yuxin, there is actually not much difference in points, but the treatment is like heaven and earth.

"Ah, Yuxin is amazing, she's in third place."

"Goddess Deng! Goddess Deng, the God of Asaba!"

In the crowd, many members of Asaba High School were extremely excited at this moment.

Although this trip to the underworld is a cooperative rescue mission, individual rankings have been set up, which means that there is competition among each other.

Being able to stand out in this competition and squeeze into the top three is the honor of the entire Asaba High School!

It is an amazing breakthrough!

Although Qianye is one of the five famous schools in Jiangcheng, it is ranked at the bottom.

In fact, the overall level of students is indeed lower than that of the other four major universities.

They can't even compare with Feiheng and Hornets, let alone Maple Leaf, the new dark horse, and Jiangcheng, the old tiger.

But this time, Deng Yuxin ranked third, surpassing Maple Leaf's Du Zhizhong and Ji Ming!

So awesome!

After a long time, the excited shouts gradually died down.

The main thing is that Jia Jiao was very considerate and patient this time.

Perhaps he was quite satisfied with the efficiency of everyone's execution of the task, so he became a little more tolerant in his attitude.

When silence returned, Jia Jiao announced calmly, "Second place, Song Ming, 532 points."

"Fuck, Brother Song is awesome!"

"Wasp High School is invincible, and Song Ming is awesome!"

This time, thunderous cheers rang out again, and this time, it was the turn of the students of Hornet High School.

There weren’t many people, but the response was extremely enthusiastic!

They were extremely excited, but many students also felt extremely disappointed.

Especially maple leaves.

This new dark horse, which quickly surpassed other major universities when it emerged a few years ago, has continued to gain momentum and rise steadily in the following years.

This year, the sudden emergence of Du Zhizhong has pushed this momentum to its peak.

Many Maple Leaf students even believe that the overall level of Maple Leaf students is enough to suppress all local universities, including Jiangcheng!

But now, a trip to the underworld has dealt a heavy blow to their superiority as Maple Leaf students.

Even though this was just a rescue mission that tested the students' overall quality rather than an absolute assessment of their strength, at this moment, it still felt a bit bitter and inexplicable.

Du Zhizhong, the undisputed rookie king of Jiangcheng in their hearts, was only sixth.

Under this premise, Ji Ming was able to take fourth place and leave Xia Mu, who was in fifth place, far behind in points, which became his only remaining consolation.

But this is still very different from what was expected!

The students of Feiheng University were also extremely disappointed.

Their ranking was higher than Asaba High School where Deng Yuxin was, but their rookie king, Zhang Xia, only barely made the list.

And the points are still far behind others.

Chen Yizhe, the former rookie king, is unlikely to make the list.

How can I not feel lost?

And... of course there are five other universities besides the five major ones.

Everyone was a little depressed.

So the top ten are all from your five major universities, and none of us can get in?

What a gap!

Of course, there are some people in all major universities who refuse to give up!

The current list...is not finalized yet!

Isn't there still one spot left?

Whoever can take this position will be the biggest winner!

Come out on top!

At this time, the most tense place was Jiangcheng University.

Although judging from the current list, they are already very powerful this time, with their people occupying four of the nine seats.

Logically speaking, it's worth being happy about, and there's no need to be nervous at all.

However, although it is exciting to have four people seated, the highest ranked among these four is only Xia Mu, who is in fifth place.

To put it bluntly, if no one from Jiangcheng makes it into the top three, even if the six positions from four to ten are occupied, it will still be a big loss of face!

Many times, overall excellence is not as inspiring as one person’s success!

Especially at this time, people from all major universities are watching and listening.

If you get second or third place on the premise of overall excellence, that's not a big deal.

After all, judging from the current situation, the gap between the top three will not be that obvious.

But the problem is that the last two of the top three have already been won by other companies.

Now there is only the last and most important position left - the top spot!

Can you get it?

At this time, everyone in Jiangcheng University looked at Lin You at the same time.

Yes, if we were to say who has a chance to win now, it would definitely be Lin You!

And in their minds, the probability of Lin You winning is infinite!

Even if Du Zhizhong is only sixth, what does this have to do with us?

Du Zhizhong is not from our university, nor is he Lin You!

At this moment, many people looked at Lin You.

Obviously, judging from the current situation, when asked who will have the last laugh, the first person that comes to everyone’s mind is Lin You.

The key point is... Lin You's strength is obvious to everyone. No matter how badly he suffers, he shouldn't even be able to make it into the top ten, right?

Now that he can get in, the only place left is the first one. If he is not the first, who else can it be?

Apart from him, there are not many possible competitors.

The most likely one may be Chen Yize.

After all, this person also has the strength of a rookie king!

Therefore, even though everyone at Feiheng University knew the possibility was slim, they all had some hope at this moment.

The fact that Du Zhizhong ranked sixth meant that any accidents were possible during this trip to the underworld.

This is indeed the case. Haven’t you seen many talented students who couldn’t even come back sober?

Then it is not impossible that Lin You, this shining new star, would temporarily crash today!

Everyone held their breath and waited. Jia Jiao finally spoke, "First place goes to Lin You. Points..."

"Oh, Lin You is awesome, Lin You is number one!"

"Brother You, you are indeed number one, so strong!"

"Where's Brother You? Call him Youshen!"

"Fuck, I was so nervous just now, I almost thought the car was going to flip over."

"Why should I be so nervous? It's just as expected, okay? I kept a cold expression the whole time. At this point, what's the suspense? There's no competition!"

"You're so cold and indifferent! You were shaking so badly just now. You thought I couldn't see you, right? I'm not blind!"

In an instant, everyone in Jiangcheng University was in an uproar, and everyone was overjoyed.

I can’t be unhappy!

Who made them so awesome this time!

A total of five people made the list, and Lin You was the one who made the final move and took the lead!

In comparison, everyone at Feiheng University was a little discouraged.

As expected... it's still a bit dreamy that their university took first place.

This result is disappointing, but there is nothing we can do about it, as it was foreseeable!

The current result is the same as everyone expected.

As expected, I won first place!

There have been enough upsets before. If he doesn't take first place, this ranking will be really magical.

Just as I was thinking about this, someone suddenly called out in surprise, "Instructor Jia, did you miss Lin You's points?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted.

yes!

I was too focused just now. When I heard Lin You's name, I was just sighing. How could I care about the points mentioned later... I didn't even know whether it was mentioned or not!

Everyone looked at Jia Jiao again. Where are the points?

Tell everyone about it.

Although it is roughly guessable that he will be ten or even dozens of points higher than the second-place Song Ming.

But at most, 600 points is the limit.

But people like Song Ming, who have followed him for a long time, naturally have different standards in their hearts.

If I remember correctly, he freed nearly 80 sleepers in the palace alone, which is about 800 points. He also killed many super black star-level sleep-inducing monsters using the rules.

There are quite a few of those, plus the liberation of the three sleeping houses, even if he acts in a group, Lin You will definitely take up the lion's share.

I just don’t know how many sleep-inducing monsters can be retained every time they are released.

Those sleep-inducing monsters are on the run and it’s not easy to stop them!

Especially when Lin You doesn't have any good helpers around him, the points that the three seats combined may get are probably 300 points at most, which is an overestimate!

Overall, the score can exceed 1,000, and the final score may be around 1,200.

How scary!

Thinking of this, Song Ming was amazed and envious.

Other latecomers, such as Zeng Xi, had lower estimates, but they also felt that Lin You's score was good, and he might even have a chance of breaking 1,000!

But most people know nothing about this, so they don’t take it too seriously.

Of course, you still have to ask.

At least this is a summary of this trip to the underworld.

Jia Jiao pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled slightly, "This score is not bad."

When these two words were spoken, everyone was surprised.

Instructor Jia smiled?

This is so rare... Of course, the opponent's disguise at the beginning of the training does not count.

In addition, he also specifically said it was good.

This is quite impressive!

It seems that this time Lin You not only won first place, but also won first place without any suspense!

Otherwise, how can it be worthy of this evaluation?

I used to think it would be no more than 600, but now... maybe 700 or 800?

Everyone was speculating in their hearts, but at this moment, Jia Jiao suddenly said: "Lin You, 1634 points!"

When making this announcement, Jia Jiao's voice was finally not so calm, and there was a hint of surprise in it.

But the moment this score was announced—

On the huge beach, every single one of them crashed on the spot!

There was a constant buzzing in my head, like bursts of thunder.

Under the explosion, not to mention speaking, even normal thinking is basically short-circuited.

In my mind, a number plays back and forth like a slideshow.

1634…1634…1634!

16...34 points!

The first ones to recover from the downtime were naturally Song Ming, Ji Ming and Deng Yuxin.

The three of them had a rough estimate of Lin You's points this time.

And this estimate is really the closest to the actual score!

An estimated value of 1200 points!

If I tell others this estimated value alone, I'm afraid they will think I'm a fool.

Who would believe that!

Even so, this score is still more than 400 points lower than the actual score!

How can I not be shocked?

Song Ming looked at Lin You like a monster. He really wanted to dig open his brain, replay the memories in it, and see how he got these points!

That doesn't make sense!

An error of a few tens of points would be fine, but a few hundred points...it's almost like stealing other people's points!

You know, these extra 400 points are enough to help Lin You rank fifth in this list!

Even if I... said I got second place, isn't that only 532 points?

So a fraction of your strength is enough to defeat me?

Thinking of this, Song Ming's mentality collapsed a little.

The rest of the people on the list are in a more serious mental state.

Everyone thought of this too.

If Lingtou can defeat Song Ming in seconds, he can naturally defeat any one of them in seconds!

Lin You...you are not a human being!

The few people on the list couldn't help but secretly curse in their hearts at this moment.

That’s all good!

At least, there is still room for cursing in secret.

For others, their brains are basically blank.

It's difficult to come back to your senses.

I was really shocked!

I don't know how long it took, but on the beach, loud roars expressing one's true feelings began to rise one after another.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Oh my god!"

Those who uttered these beautiful exclamations naturally came from the people of Jiangcheng University.

My heart is surging to the extreme!

They wanted to say something else to praise Lin You, but when the words came to their lips, nothing came out. Only these two words could intuitively express their excitement at the moment!

So invincible!

It’s so unsolvable!

This really... ruins everything!

The score is 1634!

No matter how you think about it, it's incredible.

Just highlight one outrageous one!

Especially when you think about Feiheng Rookie King who is ranked tenth, his points are only 160 points. Lin You's score is more than ten times his!

160 points...Zhang Xia, so pitiful!

As the person involved, Zhang Xia's cheek muscles were twitching.

I want to vomit blood!

The other students who reacted gradually looked at Lin You with horror in their eyes.

You told us this guy is a freshman?

That's not the way to joke!

Lin You is not a freshman, right?

Definitely not!

Most likely... it was deliberately planted by the association to dampen our emotions, right?

Unfortunately, the acting skills are not very good, and he accidentally went too far. Now, it was exposed directly?

And you still say you're not an actor?

It’s definitely... Well, he has been in school for so long, and his experiences since then are all recorded. He is a genuine freshman.

If it is really a temporary placement, doesn't it mean that many students from Jiangcheng University were also invited temporarily and have been cooperating in the performance for such a long time?

Even though everyone was helpless and couldn't believe it, they had to accept this fact.

Lin You, the rookie king of Jiangcheng High School, scored 1,634 points in this trip to the underworld.

The best of the bunch!

Until this moment, everyone was still staring at Lin You.

Many female students from various schools were particularly excited.

It’s nothing... He’s just too good!

This is true whether it is appearance or ability!

It truly explains what it means to be both talented and beautiful!

It's normal to be attracted to someone of the opposite sex.

At this moment, Lin You himself was extremely calm.

1634 points... about the same as expected.

Not bad, this time the harvest is really good!

I completely ignored the gazes of those around me. After silently calculating the profits in my mind, I felt extremely comfortable and refreshed!

At this moment, Jia Jiao also looked over, paused for a moment, and then looked around at everyone, his tone returning to calmness. "This is the specific ranking of this trip to the underworld. The rewards for this ranking will be distributed on the day the training camp ends, which is January 12th."

After hearing him talk about this, Lin You suddenly remembered something.

I haven't noticed the time yet!

Thinking of this, he quickly walked towards the students of Jiangcheng University, walked up to one of them at random and asked about the time.

The man was extremely excited, clearly still in the throes of excitement, and hurriedly said, "Brother You, today is already December 28th."

Lin You nodded, "Thank you."

No. 28?

If I remember correctly, they entered the underworld on the 21st, which means exactly one week has passed.

Sure enough, when you are in the underworld, there are errors in your perception of time.

But it’s not too bad, it’s still better than expected.

Lin You doesn't want to leave in a hurry now.

He is still thinking about Mo Ke's training!

Although you can actually shape it by yourself, the effect will definitely not be as good as the special pressure here.

That is the ability of the secret beast!

With this ability, the probability of him shaping multiple magic shells should be greater.

And now, the number of Lin You's magic shells has reached four.

Four magic shells are a qualitative change compared to three.

But he could clearly feel that this was not his limit!

At the very least... I have to hit him twice more!

The fusion of the six paths is considered satisfactory!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Jia Jiao and asked, "Instructor Jia, since this rescue mission has been completed, the subsequent Demon Shell training should be able to proceed as usual, right?"

"Of course."

Jia Jiao nodded, his tone slightly warmer as he explained, "For the next ten days or so, Demon Shell training will be your main training. In addition, there will be a special training room for your ace monsters. I think some of you may have seen that training room in the underworld."

Training room?

Lin You's mind moved. He had indeed seen this before. It was in the first room of the side hall on the right!

It’s a pity that the situation was special at that time and I didn’t have the opportunity to train.

Unexpectedly, there are opportunities for training outside.

What a good thing!

But suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he thought of something, and said quickly: "Instructor Jia, many of our monsters are still in hibernation. In this case, we can't participate."

"Don't worry about that."

Jia Jiao said calmly, "During training, just release your monsters normally."

Release directly?

Lin You was a little surprised, but he didn't doubt it.

Although the other party is Jia Jiao, no matter who he is or what his personality is, the ultimate goal is to help them improve their abilities, rather than tease them or make fun of them for no reason.

If this training is implemented, perhaps it will help Chimera reach a higher level in the few remaining days?

After all, Chimera had trained for a long time in the Ace Realm before.

The intensity and effect of this training should be greatly improved. The training facilities here are no worse than those in the Ace Realm, and may only be better!

Anyway, give it a try.

If Chimera can be trained to duel level, the combat effectiveness of this ace will definitely increase significantly!

While he was thinking, Jia Jiao quickly added, "Now, all of you, go and get some rest. Although there may not be any problems on the surface, your energy has actually been greatly reduced in the past few days in the underworld. If you ignore it, it may explode later."

Then he looked at the others and said, "As for you, don't waste your time here. Keep training!"
