Xing Gu smiled as he sipped his fine wine.

Xing Daorong, next to him, smiled, "In my opinion, that's mostly the case then!"

Just as those words fell, the cold mechanical voice announced a new update...

[This round's ninth place: Li Yang Race (Mysterious Force), Points 94,800.]

At this moment, both Xing Gu and Xing Daorong were a bit dumbfounded.

They didn't know this was just the beginning, and more surprises were yet to come...

"Hmm? The ninth place isn't the Daqian Divine Dynasty!"

Xing Gu was somewhat surprised and unconsciously put down the wine goblet in his hand.

Xing Daorong was also a bit unexpected, "Indeed~! Could it be that Daqian Divine Dynasty got eighth place?"

Xing Gu slightly frowned, "Each of the Top Ten Mysterious Forces is stronger than the last, and the gap between them is vast. It's acceptable if Daqian Divine Dynasty surpassed the Blood Moon Race, but this time, they unexpectedly surpassed the Li Yang Race. It's a bit unbelievable!"

Xing Daorong nodded, "Indeed! Li Yang Race is much stronger than Blood Moon Race. Daqian Divine Dynasty's performance this time is extraordinarily out of the ordinary! However, they might only get eighth place; going beyond that ranking is unlikely."

"Eighth place! That should be the limit for Daqian Divine Dynasty! However, for our race, a mere eighth place is nothing worth mentioning."

Saying this, Xing smiled proudly.

Xing Daorong also echoed with a smile, "Of course! Our race is undoubtedly going to secure third place this time and seize the top prize. Even if Daqian Divine Dynasty performs extraordinarily, it won't affect our rewards!"

"Haha~! That's indeed the truth!"

Xing Gu laughed heartily, picking up his goblet and savoring a big sip of wine.

Until now, they still thought that changes in the rankings were caused by the Daqian Divine Dynasty.

They were filled with absolute confidence in Xingtian Race securing the top prize...

At the same moment, within the Great Hall of the Daqian Divine Dynasty.

Qian Xuanji and others were utterly shocked.

"What's going on?! Ninth place isn't the Celestial Court! Could they be in eighth place?"

Qian Xuanji's face was full of disbelief.

Qian Tianchen also found it hard to believe.

After a long while, he finally took a deep breath and said, "Emperor, it should be that the Celestial Court had extraordinarily good luck, which barely allowed them to surpass the Li Yang Race."

Then, he bitterly remarked, "Emperor, the Celestial Court getting eighth place this time is their limit!"

"Moreover... if the Celestial Court does take eighth place, we won't be the only ones losing face."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xuanji glared fiercely at Qian Tianchen.

Then he looked into the direction of the First Major Region with a gloomy expression.

The higher the Celestial Court ranked, the more envious he felt.

At the same time, he also believed the Celestial Court could at most only rank eighth.

They're merely a Challenger Faction!

Even with extraordinary luck and performance, that's as far as they go.

Just as this thought rose, the cold mechanical voice announced the next ranking...

[This round's eighth place...]

Qian Xuanji and others quickly held their breath, listening intently.

[...Ten Evil Races (Mysterious Force), Points 111,300.]

What?!

Eighth place isn't the Celestial Court either?!

Boom~!

Qian Xuanji and others were shook all over!

Each of them stared wide-eyed in astonishment!

At that moment, the Great Hall became exceptionally silent!

At the same moment, within the Great Hall where Xingtian Race resided.

Xing Gu and Xing Daorong were dumbfounded once again!

Eighth place still wasn't Daqian Divine Dynasty.

"Strange! Why isn't the eighth place the Daqian Divine Dynasty?"

Xing Gu wore a face full of confusion.

Xing Daorong also frowned and said, "Clan Leader, could it be that this time, the Daqian Divine Dynasty's luck turned unusually favorable, getting seventh place?"

Xing Gu sneered coldly, "In hindsight, that seems quite possible! This Daqian Divine Dynasty really got lucky!"

Just as his words ended, and he was about to enjoy another sip of wine, the cold mechanical voice announced a new ranking.

[This round's seventh place: Coiling Dragon Race (Mysterious Force), Points 133,400.]

Xing Gu was dumbfounded once more!

Really?!

Seventh place still isn't Daqian Divine Dynasty!

Xing Daorong, next to him, also wore a face of bewilderment.

This time, the two couldn't help but look at each other...

Soon, that cold mechanical voice announced the ranking once again...

[This round's sixth place: Suspended Island (Mysterious Force), Points 151,200.]

Still not Daqian Divine Dynasty!

Xing Gu quietly put down his goblet!

Xing Daorong was rendered speechless as well!

The two began to feel that something was amiss.

This Points Competition seems to have some strange elements mixed in...

The cold mechanical voice continued announcing the results...

[This round's fifth place: Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers (Mysterious Force), Points 168,700.]

Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers is only fifth?

This time, Xing Gu was a bit unsettled.

It's known that Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers has always been ranked fourth, with Xingtian Race ranked third, and their rankings have always been closely aligned.

Could it be that they're going to rank fourth this time?

How could this be?

"Daorong, something seems odd here! Could it be that Daqian Divine Dynasty will get fourth place? They shouldn't be that strong, right?"

Xing Gu muttered. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Xing Daorong also pondered, "Clan Leader, I think that's unlikely! Is it possible that it was the Celestial Court that surpassed Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers?"

"Celestial Court?" Xing Gu was puzzled.

Xing Daorong continued, "Clan Leader, they're the Celestial Court that squeezed into the top ten in the initial ranking. They were the ones that pushed Daqian Divine Dynasty out of the top ten at the start."

Xing Gu suddenly realized, "I remember now! Didn't that Celestial Court complete a B-level quest? But ultimately, the Celestial Court is just a Challenger Faction; how could they be truly stronger than Daqian Divine Dynasty?!"
