As soon as the Dual Blade Swordsman finished speaking, the third level of the score tower lit up.
Seeing this, everyone was once again stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.
“Did… Did I see that right? That newcomer made it to the fourth level?”
“No… It can’t be, right? Is that really the newcomer ranked at the very bottom?”
“Besides the Knight of the Golden Spear and that newcomer, there’s no one else left in the tower. If it’s not the newcomer, could it still be the Knight of the Golden Spear?”
This scene which shouldn’t have happened, left the old seniors unable to believe it.
But the newcomers felt proud and confident.
One bold newcomer directly asked the Dual Blade Swordsman, “Senior Dual Blade, didn’t you just say that he would be sent out soon?”
His words were like a slap in the face, stinging the Dual Blade Swordsman’s pride, leaving his face burning with embarrassment.
The Dual Blade Swordsman’s face was full of shame, but he still retorted stubbornly, “He just managed to pass by luck. He must be seriously injured now. I bet he won’t last more than half a minute before being sent out!”
Hearing the Dual Blade Swordsman’s words, the newcomer didn’t argue further, just silently waited.
Half a minute passed.
But there was no sign of Jiang Yuan being sent out.
The Dual Blade Swordsman broke out in a cold sweat, praying in his heart that the newcomer would give him some face and come out soon.
But after two minutes passed.
Jiang Yuan still hadn’t been sent out.
The bold newcomer who spoke earlier asked the Dual Blade Swordsman again, “Senior Dual Blade, didn’t you say he would be sent out in less than half a minute? It’s been three minutes now, why hasn’t he been sent out yet?”
The Dual Blade Swordsman’s face turned ashen, feeling embarrassed and wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
Time passed second by second.
The incense stick was about to burn out.
But the newcomer named Jiang Yuan still hadn’t been sent out.
When everyone was starting to feel impatient, the fourth level suddenly lit up!
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked, their eyes wide with disbelief.
“Did… Did I see that right? The fourth level… has been passed?”
“The Knight of the Golden Spear actually made it to the fifth level? Doesn’t that mean he can break into the top ten of the Earth List?”
Everyone marveled at the strength of the Knight of the Golden Spear, thinking that the person who made it to the fifth level was him. But they didn’t know that the Knight of the Golden Spear was actually still on the fourth level.
And the one who truly made it to the fifth level was the newcomer Jiang Yuan.
…
Jiang Yuan fell asleep on the fourth level and had a dream full of excitement.
In the dream, he fought against an extraterrestrial visitor whose strength was comparable to his own.
They battled for a total of three million rounds in his dream, shattering the entire continent.
This battle ignited a passion within him that he had never felt before, rekindling his desire for combat and bringing back the passion buried for three hundred million years.
But just as the battle reached its climax, he unexpectedly woke up.
What appeared before him was only a teleportation array.
Apart from that, there were no more enemies.
The monsters that had attacked him before had all disappeared by the time he woke up.
He wasn’t sure if he had unconsciously done something in his dream to accidentally wipe them out, or if his body had rebounded their attacks, killing them in the process.
Anyway, after waking up, he miraculously passed the level without even realizing it.
Then he stepped into the teleportation array, entering the fifth level in a daze.
Meanwhile, outside the score tower.
A figure was transported from the fourth level, catching everyone’s attention.
“The newcomer finally came out!”
“To endure for so long on the fourth level, he’s really impressive! I approve of this newcomer!”
“After all, he’s just a newcomer. It’s a miracle for him to make it to the third level, let alone endure for so long on the fourth. If he doesn’t come out soon, I really have to wonder if…”
Before the last person could finish their sentence, they were stunned to find out that the person who was transported out was not the newcomer they expected, but the Knight of the Golden Spear who should have been on the fifth level!
All the discussions ceased instantly.
The entire scene fell into silence as if the air had frozen.
Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning, petrified in place.
Their minds were filled with one thought: Why was it the Knight of the Golden Spear?
At this moment, even the proctor wore a shocked expression.
After being stunned for what seemed like an eternity, he finally came to his senses and publicly announced the Knight of the Golden Spear’s results.
“Knight of the Golden Spear, total accumulated points 15,700, original ranking 54th, current ranking 42nd, risen by 12 places!”
Even after the proctor announced the Knight of the Golden Spear’s results, everyone still stared at him dumbfounded.
Even though the facts were right in front of them, they still couldn’t believe it.
Many thought they had made a mistake and kept rubbing their eyes. Some even thought they were dreaming and slapped themselves.
“Are you all so surprised by a mere 15,700 points?” The Knight of the Golden Spear looked disdainful as if he were looking at a bunch of idiots.
He didn’t know that Jiang Yuan was still inside so he thought it was his own excellent performance that shocked everyone.
After the Knight of the Golden Spear spoke, the entire scene fell silent again.
After a long silence, the Dual Blade Swordsman pointed at the score tower and whispered to the Knight of the Golden Spear, “Senior, look at the back.”
“What! Could it be…” The Knight of the Golden Spear seemed to understand something and immediately turned to look behind.
When he saw that the fifth level of the score tower was still operational, his entire demeanor changed.
“How… How is this possible! How could something like this happen!”
He staggered back a few steps, shaking his head in disbelief like a gambler who had lost everything.
Seeing the Knight of the Golden Spear’s reaction, everyone finally began to believe that the newcomer ranked at the very bottom was the one who truly made it to the fifth level!
This was already unbelievable enough.
However, this wasn’t the end!
Next, something even more unbelievable happened!
The fifth level of the score tower lit up!
The light was so bright that it dazzled everyone’s eyes.
And Jiang Yuan’s divine figure emerged from that dazzling light.
Silence fell over the entire scene!
Everyone wore incredulous expressions as if they had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.
“The fifth level… is lit up… the score tower has been cleared! Am… Am I hallucinating?”
“I must be dreaming, right? Yes! I must be dreaming! This can’t be real!”
Everyone shook their heads and slapped their own faces, as if a group of madmen were going crazy.
The bizarre events that unfolded before their eyes made them feel like they were in a dream, and they all thought they were still living in a dream.
