Chapter 482



They had never seen such an arrogant and vulgar person!

Lin Xun ignored them as he stood before the stone tablet and silently did some calculations.

The four identity tokens he had won from Shi Yunpeng, Xue Yun, Jin Zhuliu, and Lan Yu contained a total of 1500 points, which was still a far cry from the 5000 he required.

In other words, he needed at least 3500 more points for the Sky Stairs Assessment.

Lin Xun inwardly sighed.

How troublesome.

Shi Yu said, “Although I don’t know whether you’ll get points from ascending the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings, I do know that first place on the Spirit Sea Golden Rankings will reward you with 2000 points!”

Ning Meng casually suggested, “Yeah, why don’t you try to aim for the number one spot first and win some points before thinking about the overall rankings?”

Lin Xun’s heart stirred. 2000 points was indeed a sizable sum.

One of the Dao Martial Academy students shouted, “Arrogant! What do you guys think first place on the Spirit Sea Golden Rankings is? It isn’t something just anyone can take.”

“You haughty fools simply don’t understand how high the sky is!”

The other students also yelled. They were pissed off by Lin Xun’s haughty attitude. Who could have expected that even Shi Yu and Ning Meng speak so boastfully as if it was easy to take Spirit Sea Golden Rankings’ number one spot?

“If you guys are unconvinced, how about we make a bet? If I succeed, give all of your points to me. If I lose, all of my points will be yours.”

Lin Xun proposed as he looked toward the students.

Shi Yu, Ning Meng, and the others were stunned.

This crazy bastard is even willing to gamble his points!

What exactly does he intend to do with these points?

This infuriated the Dao Martial Department students. In the arena, Lin Xun had desperately tricked everyone to earn points and now he was resorting to betting. What else was he but a conman?

They were very skeptical about how someone like him had become a rune grandmaster and how he had attained all of his achievements. Was money all that mattered to him? Were dignity, honor, and morals worthless to him?

“I’ll accept your bet!”

One of the students stepped forward and angrily pulled out his identity token, “I’ll be waiting to see if you can get first place!”

“Me too.”

“How can I be left out of such fun?”

Roughly six students soon stepped forward, each grinding their teeth and wanting to take on Lin Xun’s bet. Most importantly, they did not believe that he could seize first place.

After all, who was currently in first place?

Zhao Jingwen! A legend who was also a descendant of the imperial family. He was an individual who was as glorious as the sun!

A vulgar and arrogant bastard like Lin Xun was destined to be a grain-sized pearl that could never be able to compete with the brilliance of the sun.

The other students were more cool-headed. Even the fifth-ranked Lan Yu had lost to Lin Xun, which proved that his foundations were strong.

Hence, they did not dare to take the risk.

“Are you guys going to play as well?”

There was a wide smile on Lin Xun’s face as he looked at the other students.

Regretfully, the other students refused to take the bait. Instead, they began to suspect that something was amiss from his composure and confidence.

What a pity…

Lin Xun inwardly muttered. With a deep breath, he turned to the stone tablet as his expression turned serious.

He seemed to become a completely different person at this moment. He gave off an air of natural calmness and confidence as his presence began to resemble an abyss.

Shi Yu, Ning Meng, and the others put aside all other thoughts and focused on watching. The time for chatter was over, and they could not help but feel a little nervous.

After all, the stone tablet did not merely test combat power but also talent and potential. From what they knew, a great calamity had befallen Lin Xun at birth, robbing him of his unique talent, the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer.

This meant that Lin Xun had a disadvantage in the talent aspect and could not compare to Gu Yunting, who possessed the Dao Fire Golden Body.

“Hmph, you’re just putting up an act!”

The Dao Martial Department students sneered. After all, they were waiting to see Lin Xun make a fool of himself.

Omm!

Lin Xun reached out and pressed his right hand onto the stone tablet’s surface.

A cryptic and peculiar undulation instantly rippled on the pitch-black surface as resplendent golden light rose like the tide.

An extremely dazzling radiance abruptly surged from the bottom of the tablet and rose straight upwards. In an instant, it arrived at the top ten zone.

“This…”

The students’ hearts jumped in alarm. Wasn’t that far too fast?

Shi Yu, Ning Meng, and the others inwardly gasped. Although it wasn’t the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings, the Spirit Sea Golden Rankings was still a huge mountain for most.

Every individual on the rankings was a first-class elite of the Dao Martial Department. Moreover, only the top hundred among them could secure a spot!

In a single breath, Lin Xun had made his name charge all the way into the top ten zone. It was undoubtedly a very strong and astonishing showing.

“No need to worry. Climbing each rank in the top ten is a sizable hurdle, especially the final three which are akin to three giant mountains. The rankings aren’t that easy to climb.”

One of the students calmly analyzed, “Since Lin Xun has defeated Lan Yu, it’s normal for him to reach this step. We’ll see if he has the capability to ascend to the top three!”

By this point, the other students also discovered that the light that represented Lin Xun’s result had slowed after reaching the top ten zone.

This made them calm down a little.

Ninth.

Eighth.

Seventh.

……

With each step Lin Xun’s result climbed, the Dao Martial Department students, Shi Yu, and the others grew increasingly nervous.

When Lin Xun’s result crossed fifth place and reached fourth, the expressions of the few students who had betted with Lin Xun changed.

However, they did not despair or admit defeat because the true test started at the top three!

First place belonged to Zhao Jingwen, second place to Zuo Yujing, and third place to a girl called Yu Ruhuo.

Gu Yunting had originally occupied second place, but his earlier result had been far too superior so he had easily steamrolled over Zhao Jingwen and rocketed to the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings. As a result, his name had disappeared from the Spirit Sea Golden Rankings, allowing Zuo Yujing and Yu Ruhuo to climb a position.

Regardless, Zhao Jingwen, Zuo Yujing, and Yu Ruhuo were still absolute powerhouses among the current generation of Dao Martial Department students.

They were like tyrants that could not be touched by just anyone.

Lin Xun’s result had now reached fourth place. Would he be able to keep it up and climb to the peak?

Everyone watched closely, not daring to blink.

However, an unexpected event occurred at this moment―

An ancient, drawn-out noise that could only be described as a sound from nature seemed to arrive from an ancient time. Meanwhile, dazzling divine light rose into the sky as the stone tablet resonated. Dao flowers began to descend as multicolored light rapidly engulfed Lin Xun, the tablet, and the land!

“This…”

Shi Yu\'s, Ning Meng\'s, and the others\' eyes widened as their hearts and bodies shuddered violently. It was grander than the phenomenon caused by Gu Yunting. In fact, each of these dao flowers was made from true imago power!

Could Lin Xun have also unlocked the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings?

"How can this be?!"

The Dao Martial Department students involuntarily cried out. They were also shocked by the sudden appearance of such a grand phenomenon, which caused their hearts to tremble.

Gu Yunting had also caused a phenomenon earlier. Was Lin Xun going to ascend to the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings as well?

However, someone soon discovered that although it looked very impressive and grand, the stone tablet was still displaying the Spirit Sea Golden Rankings. There was no sign of the overall rankings!

To make things worse, Lin Xun’s result had suddenly stopped after arriving at fourth and was no longer rising! This made the students become even more excited.

"Hahaha, here I was thinking that a miracle had occurred. It turns out that Lin Xun is nothing much after all!”

"Still fantasizing about first? In your dreams!"

"We won, hahaha we won! The heavens are fair after all."

The students could not help but laugh ecstatically. They were all in high spirits and felt very pleased with this result.

Shi Yu and the others were also stunned. Such a grand phenomenon but nothing seemed to have resulted?

Dong!

Another sound rang out again. On the stone tablet, golden light condensed into dao flowers that flew into the sky and fell toward the ground. Dao flowers rapidly covered the entire area, creating a blinding and sacred brilliance that made it impossible to see Lin Xun’s figure.

Everyone’s hearts shuddered. Why was the phenomenon continuing? Could it have just begun?

However, they soon saw that the stone tablet was still displaying the Spirit Sea Golden Rankings, and Lin Xun’s result had not moved an inch. The Dao Martial Department students secretly sighed in relief as their sneers and smug looks returned.

Shi Yu and the others frowned, unable to figure out what was happening. It was too bizarre. It was completely different from what occurred with Gu Yunting. What exactly was going on?

Huala~ Huala~

They did not sense the terrifying wills that had emerged from various areas in the academy and instantly arrived in the area.

“Another student is about to reach the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings?”

“Who is this child?”

“I can\'t tell. His figure is obscured by grand dao imago power, and I can’t guess who it is."

"Something seems to be wrong. Everyone, look, although the phenomenon looks so grand, the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings has not appeared.”

"Has such a thing ever happened before?"

“I think it has, but I can’t seem to recall it. Someone once covered up the past and erased all traces, making it impossible to know the truth.”

The terrifying wills communicated, somewhat shocked that even beings like them could not unravel the mystery.

The ancient tablet’s origins were wrapped in mystery, and it was only known that it had been from an ancient sect. Although it had been refined and shifted to Qinglu Academy, no one had managed to discover all of its secrets!
