Chapter 36: Time to Sprint

Meanwhile, when Black Eagle was entangled by the level 5 Elite Monster, Soul of Vengeance.

Papaya Star Spirit and Whisperer also encountered different monsters.

Although these monsters had different attributes and skills, they all shared a common trait: they were extremely troublesome.

This was no coincidence.

In fact, every Survivor, upon descending into this world, has terrain that is quite similar.

The number of clouds in each area is roughly the same, and each has its own Elite Monster of the area, except for some hidden existences, these Elite Monsters are the strongest in this area.

Just like how Han Xing encountered the Gray Rock Giant Wolf in the first area; defeating it was the only way to advance to a new area.

However, that Gray Rock Giant Wolf was merely equivalent to the Newbie Village boss and appeared less troublesome compared to the monsters encountered by Black Eagle and Whisperer.

And now, due to the advanced progress of Whisperer and the others, they were finally facing the most powerful existence of this area, each falling into a bitter struggle.

Just as everyone eagerly awaited the final victor to emerge.

The result was that after waiting for more than an hour, the top three on the leaderboard suddenly stopped moving as if they had agreed on it.

In the chat channel, many people were puzzled.

"What’s going on? Why is the leaderboard not moving? Did the top three agree to sleep together?"

"Don’t rush, wait a bit longer, maybe they’re all doing temporary adjustments, preparing for the final sprint."

"That’s certainly possible; given this situation, do you think there might be a change in who will be the final number one?"

"Stop dreaming, Whisperer has a huge advantage now; he’ll surely be number one!"

Yet, someone was dissatisfied, saying: "Previously, Star River also had a great advantage; many said he was sure to be number one. But look at him now, he can’t even hold on to the top twenty."

"Star River? He’s just a guy with good luck, nothing noteworthy."

No one disputed this statement in the chat channel. Since Han Xing dropped out of the top twenty, support for him has dwindled.

However, someone surprisingly said: "Hey, Star River is back in the top twenty!"

"What?" Many Survivors were quite astonished.

"643 Points! What was his score before?"

Having lost focus on Han Xing, no one knew his previous score, but the increase must be substantial!

Yet, some people who had opinions against Star River still dismissively said: "So what if he’s in the top twenty? He’s too far behind Whisperer and the others; the gap of nearly 300 points would take at least a day to close!"

"Yes, Star River has no chance; stop discussing him."

However, what they didn’t know was that Han Xing had increased nearly 200 points in just three hours!

This terrifying speed even as a Mage, Whisperer could only look on enviously.

Though these people hadn’t noticed.

Cheng Jianyong had maintained close attention to Han Xing’s ranking.

Upon seeing Han Xing’s rankings soar.

In the discussion group, Cheng Jianyong eagerly asked: "Brother Xing, you started exerting effort?"

At this time, Han Xing was enjoying eating Experience behind ’Coal Ball.’

Upon seeing the group messages, he smiled and replied: "Yes."

Cheng Jianyong suddenly became excited, "Haha, I said Brother Xing was waiting to burst forth at the end, right? Shen Yun, look, a 200-point increase in three hours, it’s terrifying!"

Shen Yun learned and also exclaimed: "Wow, so fast? Brother Xing, did you take medicine?"

Han Xing laughed: "Yes, I took medicine. I have more here; do you want a couple of them?"

Shen Yun instinctively refused: "No, no, I’m still young, I don’t need it."

Cheng Jianyong echoed: "Haha, Brother Xing, keep such things for yourself, Xiao Yunzi and I have great physical constitution; we don’t need this to fight three hundred rounds every night!"

However, Han Xing said in a peculiar tone: "You really don’t want it? The effect of my medicine is extraordinarily good, one gulp, and you’ll be invigorated!"

Shen Yun hurriedly declined.

But Cheng Jianyong tentatively asked: "Brother Xing, is this medicine really that strong? Maybe, I should try some?"

"Hahaha!" Han Xing laughed: "See, I knew Cheng Jianyong, this married man is not going to last, right? Now it’s been exposed!"

Shen Yun also laughed along.

At this time, Cheng Jianyong had a face full of embarrassment.

Han Xing then said: "Okay, not teasing you anymore."

Then, Han Xing sent them a trade request.

The two accepted with strange expressions.

However, when they saw that Han Xing threw 20 bottles of Basic Life Secret Elixir at them in one go, the group was filled with sounds of sucking in cold breath.

"Hiss..."

Cheng Jianyong felt incredulous, saying, "Life Secret Elixir!"

He chuckled bitterly and said: "Brother Xing, so the medicine you mentioned, one gulp and it invigorates is this?"

"Yes."

Han Xing chuckled: "I didn’t deceive you, right? I’ve tested this medicine; the effect is incredibly good!"

"Unless you’re missing an arm or a leg or suffered a deadly blow, one bottle of medicine can save you."

"If your constitution is high enough, you won’t even need to worry about injuries; you can go head-to-head with those monsters!"

At this moment, Shen Yun tentatively asked: "Brother Xing, do you mean..."

Han Xing nodded, "Yes, from now on, we need to change our strategy. With Life Secret Elixir in hand, we can be more daring in challenging those clouds."

"I’ve seen your rankings: Shen Yun at 27th, Cheng Jianyong at 36th, as long as you go all out, not to mention top three, everyone should be able to reach the top ten!"

Upon hearing Han Xing’s thoughts, the two were suddenly quite surprised.

However, Cheng Jianyong clenched his teeth and said: "Damn, with Life Secret Elixir and Brother Xing’s strong support behind us, forget top ten, I’ll crush into the top three surely!"

"I’m going for it!"

Shen Yun also got excited, enthusiastically saying: "Charge!"

At this time, when Whisperer and the others faced strong foes and remained stagnant.

Han Xing and the others’ rankings soared like a rocket.

points...

points...

points...

Dragging every few minutes, their territory points could be seen increasing again.

Such a terrifying rate naturally attracted the attention of many Survivors in the chat channel.

"Look! Star River’s ranking rose again; he’s now at 13th!"

"So fast! It’s been less than half an hour, and he’s already gained over 70 points; it’s terrifying!"

"Wow, worthy of being Star River God; one move refreshes our common knowledge!"

In the chat channel, discussions about Han Xing resumed.

Nonetheless, many still harbored skepticism against Han Xing, saying with a sneer: "What’s the point of growing fast? He’s still over 200 points behind Whisperer. I’ve told you, he stands no chance."

"Yes, and who’s to say Star River’s rapid growth isn’t just luck?"

"Good luck doesn’t last forever."

At this time, no one stepped forward to refute.

However, someone noticed the changes in the rankings of two other survivors.

Among the Survivors, someone exclaimed: "Quick, look, ’Lone Brave’ and ’Yun Tianming’ are also wildly climbing the ranks!"

"I’ve seen with my own eyes; they’ve increased by over 40 points in half an hour!"

"What?"

The chat channel was filled with astonishment.

Simultaneously, someone gravely said: "Looks like everyone’s starting to sprint at the last moment!"
