Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 126: Day 5, Rankings Announced, Phase Two—Lin Ping’an Becomes the Final Boss
That’s why, after hacking the Fifth Grade Spider Mother to death, he deliberately stuffed it into the Space Ring to avoid any mistakes.
Immediately after, having finished these tasks and tidied up the ruins, he didn’t look around slowly and turned to walk outside.
A moment later.
As the three of them had just entered the underground ruins from the cave, they encountered Lin Ping’an returning from inside.
Before they could speak, they heard a shocking message.
"It’s all cleaned up inside, tidy up a bit, bring out the stuff, I’ll wait for you outside the cave."
After saying this, he continued to swagger outward, brushing past the three of them.
It took a long while, after being speechless for ages, for them to come to their senses.
"What? What did Talent Lin just say? Cleaned up! Is it what I think it means?"
"No way! Is it true? Are there not many exotic beasts inside the ruins?"
"Although he has no reason to deceive us, it’s still best to be cautious."
So, the three of them entered the ruins and began to explore quickly.
Half an hour later.
"My goodness! They’re all dead! It’s really safe now!"
"So terrifying! I saw several Fourth Grade Peak exotic beasts all dead! Slashed in one strike!"
"Horrifying! I think there’s really no suspense for first place! Even if the few known Celestial Prides break through to Fourth Grade, they wouldn’t be Lin Ping’an’s match with a single move."
"Is this what it feels like to win effortlessly? Did nothing, all the danger is gone, leaving a huge ruin for us to search freely."
"Stop talking! Start searching for stuff! This time no need to worry about anything else, we can light a campfire, making it easier to find things this way."
"So, our role is just to clean up and search for loot?"
"..."
On the other side.
Lin Ping’an walked out of the cave, randomly found an exotic beast good enough to eat, and hacked it to death.
Then, he dragged it outside the cave and set up a campfire, preparing to barbecue while waiting for the three to come out.
Having others do the dirty work was just so comfortable.
In the exclusive live stream room, countless netizens were questioning.
"Eh? What’s the situation? How come he’s already out? Returned outside so quickly! Is there a problem?"
"Could it be that he finished killing? Just saw the points soar so fast."
"Report an issue, Lin Ping’an’s points seem to suddenly increase by ten thousand, he might have slain a Fifth Grade exotic beast."
"What? Absolutely impossible! Fourth Grade cutting down Fifth Grade? What kind of joke is this?"
"Moron upstairs, how can it be impossible? Didn’t Blood Slaughter Su Changge, the number one on the Sixth Grade Quasi-Grandmaster leaderboard, reverse-slay a Seventh Grade Grandmaster before? Now Great Xia’s strongest Celestial Pride Fourth Grade reverse-slaying Fifth Grade is naturally understandable."
"Bullshit! High cultivation doesn’t mean high combat strength okay! A Civilization Master knows nothing about fighting!"
"??? Where’s the idiot from? Talent Lin’s combat strength not strong? Hasn’t the act of one-strike killing a Fourth Grade exotic beast made you brain-dead guys living in your own little world wake up yet?"
"..."
Lin Ping’an was unaware of and uninterested in the disputes and discussions in the live stream room.
No matter how fiercely others argued and discussed, it had nothing to do with him and would not impact him in the slightest.
Meanwhile.
After checking and confirming safety in the ruins, the three also lit torches due to this, transforming their view from complete darkness to visibility of nearby surroundings.
As messages spread wider, lots of people flocked in to see the situation.
"Lin Ping’an has returned outside! Those three are still in the underground ruins?"
"Finally able to get some information, I’m dying of curiosity!"
"No need to say, with darkness and no lights in the location during the live stream, you can’t see anything, really giving bad reviews for these points."
"Damn! Look at the ground! Look around! All scarlet blood, all corpses, how many exotic beasts died here exactly! "
"With the torch illuminating, that little horror atmosphere just surged up."
"Martial God bless! Martial God bless!"
"Lin Ping’an there has already become a food broadcast, while this side just happened to see some parts."
"..."
And so, hours later.
The three carried wave after wave of various items outward, including Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, exotic beast corpses, unknown weapons, and some odd and quirky things.
Throughout the duration, Lin Ping’an never glanced at them, letting them busy themselves.
After all, one must let others have some sense of participation.
After a while, the few began to distribute items, Lin Ping’an selected first.
He didn’t even look at exotic beast materials and other stuff because they were completely useless.
If needed, he could slay a pile of exotic beasts anytime.
Whereas, other things like drug residue formulas and leftover information, he accepted them all.
After finishing, on the third morning, the two sides parted ways, each leaving separately.
In the following two days, Lin Ping’an returned to his simple life of alternating between slaying exotic beasts and cultivation.
He didn’t actively cause trouble for others and neither did he search for ruins.
As for other academy contestants, it was basically similar.
Only relatively speaking, some made a little more search for ruins, actively moving behavior.
When encountering other teams or contestants, they mostly cooperated, even if not, they also wouldn’t fight.
Ultimately, relatively speaking now, internal active competition was still too early.
Just like that, when it came to the fifth day, with a wave of fluctuations, the peaceful situation was broken.
All contestants’ Tokens simultaneously glowed, upon taking them out and with a thought, a light screen appeared out of thin air.
It shows a giant map, plotting red light points each representing a contestant’s position.
The map’s right side mirrors exactly the points leaderboard in the live stream room.
The leaderboard displays rankings, academy, name, and total points gained.
Besides, the map has related info, indicating everyone’s position light point coordinates which appear every three hours and show for ten minutes each time.
Eliminating other contestants enables gaining half of their points.
Thus, the Celestial Pride Competition officially enters the second stage, contestant confrontation.
At this moment, Lin Ping’an looked at his name sitting on top of the leaderboard, points far exceeding others, slightly raised his eyebrow, and softly murmured. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"This is already number one? So other Celestial Prides are this weak? Seems like I’ve always thought too highly of them before!"
Then, thinking a bit, he proactively picked a place with a nice view, preparing to wait for others to come to him.
At the same time.
Cry of surprise erupted from various locations within the Small Secret Realm.
"What? What’s up with this Lin Ping’an? Points are more than the sum of second to tenth place combined! Too exaggerated!"
"Could it be the rumors heard before were true? Is Lin Ping’an really Fourth Grade cultivation? Too exaggerated!"
"Damn it! Why was the sensed aura only Second Grade that day? Why is it like this? Did he hide his strength?"
"Remember now! ’Concealing Breath Technique’! It’s because of the ’Concealing Breath Technique,’ Lin Ping’an, this Old Liu, he’s playing pig to eat tiger here!"
"It doesn’t matter! To win the individual championship and be number one for the academy, Lin Ping’an must be the hurdle to cross, otherwise, no one can win."
"Whoever can eliminate Lin Ping’an can seize the individual points championship."
"Stop farming points! It’s useless! Eliminating Lin Ping’an is the only final way to secure victory."
"..."
At once, all contestants reached a consensus.
Take down Lin Ping’an and win the competition.
