Chapter 497: Update 6

Mingxi tilted her head.

“What’s wrong? Are you planning to come with us again?”

Perhaps it had already prepared itself mentally, as its second ‘nod’ was much more decisive.

Mingxi smiled, it seemed she had guessed correctly.

This guy had no choice.

As for why the creation core didn't choose other candidates just now, perhaps it knew she still had a Soul Key and wanted to form a contract with her?

Or perhaps it simply disdained the other candidates for being too weak.

“Alright then, you can enter my spatial tool for now, and I’ll find you a better place than this later.”

Dragonflower Country would definitely worship it like an ancestor.

The large diamond ‘nodded’ again.

Mingxi also nodded with satisfaction.

At this point, the mission Chu Kuangsheng had given her was successfully completed.

The process was unexpected, but the result... was spectacular?

And seeing Mingxi put the creation core into her spatial tool, the atmosphere on the various countries' starships varied.

Many people looked at Mingxi as if she were a piece of tempting fatty meat.

Unfortunately, due to various regulations and the Team Leader from Dragonflower Country, they couldn’t snatch the food from the tiger’s mouth!

The big picture was set!

Some were furious, some regretful, some jealous, and of course, some were ecstatic!

“Get ready, it’s time to welcome those Xiao Zaizi!”

On Taicang, a smile appeared on Chu Kuangsheng’s cold, hard face.

When there was only one second left on the countdown for the global Martial Exam.

The levitation orbs on the remaining candidates automatically activated, and the next second they were teleported back to their respective spacecraft.

“Wuwuwu, I’m back alive!”

“Oh, Mom, if it had been one more minute, I think I would have kicked the bucket!”

“How many points did you all get?”

“Don’t even mention it, on the first day, I ran into a candidate from some country and got eliminated by him.”

“I wasn’t eliminated, but my score didn’t even exceed 300. The wild Transcendent creatures in this exam hall are ridiculously strong; when I encounter them, I basically only have the option of running for my life. As for trying to capture them alive? Dreaming might be faster.”

“I’m pretty much the same. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to take the make-up exam in May, but now it’s definitely unavoidable.”

“My score is actually pretty good, 580 points. I luckily encountered a group of Yinhe Country candidates bullying others, and I took the opportunity to wipe them all out, hehehe.”

“You’re amazing, brother, worthy of you.”

“Wuwuwu, Yueyue...”

“Who has an Angel System pet beast? Please help treat my brave white wolf? It will die if it’s not treated soon.”

“...”

On the spacious deck, over 200,000 candidates returning at once didn’t make it crowded.

But with so many people gathered, wailing, crying, arguing... various sounds intertwined, making it noisier than a wet market.

It was like ten thousand mosquitoes buzzing in one’s ears.

“Silence!”

Chu Kuangsheng’s cold and oppressive voice suddenly rang out, like a seal, silencing the over 200,000 candidates.

The entire place instantly became quiet.

At this moment, Zhang Ruoruo stepped forward with a smile: “Now, all candidates, listen to me. Those who are critically injured or have severe injuries that require immediate treatment, press the button that pops up on your score counter. Our medical team will pinpoint your location immediately.”

“Everyone, please check your surroundings. If you find a candidate lying unconscious next to you, please help press their button.”

“Other candidates, please re-position yourselves according to your regional numbers. Regional Team Leaders and school Team Leaders, please take responsibility for your respective areas. Now I will announce the regional numbers: Central Region is Area 1, Jianghuai Region is Area 2...”

Zhang Ruoruo was a professional; she handled such arrangements with remarkable efficiency.

Mingxi quickly found Area 2 and saw Yue Changkong and Chen Haiyan, as well as Jian Lian and the others, who looked a bit disheveled but were in good spirits.

“Mingxi!”

“Mingxi.”

“Seniors, is everyone alright?”

“We’re fine, we even made it to the end.”

“Director, Teacher Chen, no one from our school got into trouble, right?”

Yue Changkong said with a smile, “No, no, I’ve already confirmed it. There were no casualties at Tide High School.”

The worry he had carried for the past three days could finally be put down; he could finally get a good night’s sleep tonight.

As the director of teaching, he always valued his students’ scores, but this time, the situation was special, and he valued their lives more.

As long as they could return alive, that was enough.

He no longer cared about high or low scores; after all, there was still the official Martial Exam in May.

However, now that the students had all returned safely, their scores could also be given some attention.

After all, they had taken the exam.

“Everyone, report your final scores. Teacher Chen, please help record them, starting with Jian Lian.”

Jian Lian: “I got 620 points.”

Luo Ta: “Exactly 700 points.”

Zhang San: “440.”

Li Si: “...280.”

...

Mingxi, as an ‘unregistered’ first-year Junior, was placed last.

Only after everyone had reported their scores and turned their gazes to her did she glance at her score counter.

“I have 3340.”

After leaving the creation core space, Mingxi and the others encountered several more wild Transcendent creatures, so her score was quite impressive.

“What?”

“How much?”

“Junior, did you accidentally say ‘3’ twice?”

Mingxi shook her head: “No, my score is three thousand three hundred ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) forty points, I didn’t misreport.”

Jian Lian and the others: “Ah?”

Even Yue Changkong and Chen Haiyan’s eyes widened.

As the school’s Team Leader teachers, they did not have the right to enter the monitoring room, so they naturally couldn’t see the global rankings.

However, during evening breaks or lunch and dinner times, they would try to find someone to inquire about the students’ situation.

They naturally paid attention to Mingxi’s situation.

The news they received last night was that Mingxi’s score was only 450 points, reportedly ranking outside the top thousand globally.

How did it become 3340 points?

Did she get 2890 points in just one day today?

Could it be that she single-handedly wiped out the lair of some wild Transcendent creature?

So, were they dreaming, or was Mingxi talking nonsense?

At this moment, Chu Kuangsheng’s voice rang out again.

“As per the notice from the Global Martial Exam Committee, the score verification for this Martial Exam has been completed. The top 100 list of global Martial Exam scores is now being announced.”

As the voice fell.

A huge light screen appeared before everyone’s eyes.

No. 1: Mingxi (3340) 【Dragonflower Country】

No. 2: Vitadiran (1270) 【Xiao Li Country】

No. 3: ...

No one paid attention to the rankings after that; everyone’s gaze was fixed on the glittering name at the very top.

A blink.

Another blink.

The name hadn’t changed, the score hadn’t changed, and the nationality hadn’t changed!

So they weren’t mistaken?

They pinched their thighs.

Ow!

That hurt like hell!

So they weren’t dreaming either?

“Holy cow!”

After a long while, someone shouted.

“3340 points? Is that really a score a human can achieve? I don’t even have a fraction of her score!”

“Mingxi? Is it that Mingxi?”
