Chapter 174
"Who would have thought? They actually came from behind to take the lead."
"How did they do it? They took down the BOSS so quickly."
"This Lin Moyu team is quite interesting. Why does that name look so familiar to me?"
"Did you forget? The national top scorer this year is named Lin Moyu."
"No way, didn't he just finish The Great Exam? How is he already eligible to participate in the Level 20 competition?"
"Maybe he just levels up fast. Otherwise, how could he have become the top scorer?"
Chapter 171: No way, it only took one minute?
Standing in front of the light screen, Jiang Taotao and the others stared blankly at the rankings above.
"We're actually in first place…"
Her voice was filled with uncertainty, disbelief, and a complex mix of other emotions.
Ning Yiyi didn't care at all. "Sister Taozi, this is normal. You should know that the championship is also ours."
Having been with Lin Moyu for a long time, Ning Yiyi had long since become accustomed to it.
Jiang Taotao shook her head vigorously. "It's not that I don't believe it, I just feel like that BOSS battle earlier… it didn't even take five seconds, right?"
Lin Moyu said very seriously, "It could have been even faster."
Jiang Taotao was speechless.
Duan Gao and Miao Yu didn't know what to say at this moment either.
What does he mean it could have been faster?
Isn't five seconds fast enough?
Regardless, it's good that they passed.
Anyway, the preliminary round doesn't look at rankings.
Eliminated Professionals and those who passed the preliminary round would both leave the light screen, but they weren't in the same area, so they wouldn't run into each other.
Lin Moyu's side was currently empty.
After waiting for a long time, someone finally appeared again.
After being teleported out, they discovered that someone had actually been a step faster than them, and they couldn't help but frown.
The five Professionals were more unconvinced than surprised.
They checked the rankings and realized they were in second place.
The leader walked over and said, "Who is Lin Moyu?"
His tone wasn't very polite.
Jiang Taotao and the others looked at him with displeasure.
Lin Moyu asked indifferently, "Is there something you need?"
The man looked Lin Moyu up and down. "You guys are lucky to have taken first place."
"You're called Lin Moyu, I've remembered that."
"My name is Tang Jianfei, you remember that too. Once we get on the competition field, we will defeat you."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Jiang Taotao whispered, "This guy is very arrogant."
Lin Moyu shook his head lightly.
Ning Yiyi said disdainfully, "What's the use of being arrogant? You're still going to lose if you're destined to lose."
Jiang Taotao and the other two deeply agreed.
Running into Lin Moyu in this group could only be considered their bad luck.
Next, more and more people passed the preliminary round, and people were constantly being teleported out.
This place also began to liven up.
The number of eliminated teams on the light screen kept increasing, far more than the number of teams that passed.
"It seems 90% was really just a conservative estimate."
"I think there will only be about 2,000 teams that make it through in the end."
The entire competition had over 100,000 teams registered to participate.
Among them, teams below level 40 accounted for about 70%.
If only 2,000 teams out of 70,000 remained in the end.
That would be a pass rate of about 3%.
97% of teams couldn't even pass the preliminary round; it was truly too difficult.
However, since the Shenxia Empire said it was absolutely fair, no one would doubt it.
Looking at it now, the teams that managed to pass were all quite strong.
After many people came out, they scrambled to find a place to sit and rest.
Having fought all the way inside, their energy and stamina were severely depleted.
After waiting for about half a day, the very last team finally passed successfully.
The huge light screen no longer changed.
"The team competition preliminary round has ended!"
A majestic and heavy voice resounded throughout the venue.
"Now, we will announce the preliminary round results."
"Level 10 to 19 group, a total of 18,352 teams participated, with 552 passing."
"Level 20 to 29 group, a total of 35,213 teams participated, with 1,024 passing."
"Level 30 to 39 group, a total of 20,011 teams participated, with 502 passing."
These results were about what was expected, with an overall pass rate of less than 3%.
"Professionals who did not pass, please leave the encampment tomorrow morning."
"Professionals who passed the preliminary round, please assemble at the competition venue tomorrow morning."
"The individual competition preliminary round will be held this afternoon, please participate on time."
After the voice finished speaking, there was no more sound, indicating it was over.
"Let's go, let's go rest for a while. I'll come back this afternoon to participate in the individual competition preliminary round."
Ning Yiyi linked her arm with Lin Moyu's. "There's still plenty of time, let's go explore Nanhong City. I haven't explored Nanhong City yet."
"Sure." Lin Moyu did not refuse.
After all, he wasn't tired at all; he had only been walking for a while earlier, it didn't even count as a warm-up.
Jiang Taotao said, "You guys go ahead, I'm exhausted and want to go back and rest."
Duan Gao and Miao Yu also raised their hands in surrender. "We're going back to rest too."
Jiang Taotao and the others had indeed fought very hard.
After all, their levels were too low, and the Abyssal Demon dogs posed a significant threat to them; they didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Although Ning Yiyi was also very tired, she was much better off than them.
At least she still had the energy to drag Lin Moyu out to go shopping in Nanhong City.
As one of the few super cities in the Shenxia Empire, Nanhong City had a population of over ten million.
Walking on the road, one could see all kinds of Professionals.
Ning Yiyi said, "It is said that over the past few hundred years, Nanhong City has been attacked by Abyssal Demons several times, and once it almost fell."
"Fortunately, experts from Xiajing Academy rushed over and drove away the Abyssal Demons."
"Ever since then, teleportation arrays have been set up in every corner of Nanhong City."
"Even if one or two are destroyed, it doesn't matter; it won't affect Nanhong City's ability to seek rescue."
Ning Yiyi talked about some of the history of Nanhong City.
Lin Moyu also knew about these things.
The major events that happened in the last few hundred years were all recorded in middle school history textbooks.
Among them was the incident about Nanhong City being invaded by Abyssal Demons.
It is said that the Abyssal Demons snuck over from the ocean that time and launched a surprise attack on Nanhong City.
For Nanhong City, this was an unimaginable disaster.
The entire city was almost destroyed, with casualties exceeding one million.
Because the demons destroyed the teleportation arrays first, rescue became extremely slow.
Now in Nanhong City, more than a hundred teleportation arrays have been built, spread across every corner of the city.
If something similar happens again, rescue teams can arrive at any time.
He accompanied Ning Yiyi around Nanhong City for half a day.
Although they didn't buy anything, Ning Yiyi was still very happy.
Since she was a child, she had been like a princess, having whatever she wanted.
Buying things held no attraction for her anymore.
The key to shopping isn't what you buy, but who you are with.
Once the results of the morning's preliminary round were out, the 3% pass rate shocked the whole world.
Countless Professionals voiced their doubts.
Some eliminated Professionals also complained that it was unfair.
The Shenxia Empire had anticipated this and had long since made all the data public.
The monsters that were set up, their strength, quantity, and the final BOSS.
All information was disclosed one by one.
At the same time, they explained why it was designed this way and what the intention was.
This made everyone shut up.
As long as you weren't an idiot, you could understand that the Shenxia Empire simply wanted to select teams that were excellent in combat power, coordination, skills, and equipment.
As long as one could achieve these few things, passing the preliminary round wasn't difficult.
The 3% rate seemed low, but in reality, the number of teams that passed the preliminary round had already set a historical record.
In the afternoon, the individual competition preliminary round was about to begin.
The number of registered participants for the individual competition was even higher, reaching a staggering 200,000.
The grouping method for the individual competition was the same as the team competition, with 10 levels per group.
Compared to the team competition, the individual competition actually received more attention.
Because without the constraints of teammates, one could better highlight their own strength.
There was no need for coordination, only the need to go all out on one's own.
It was more raw and more straightforward.
There was a feeling of fists hitting flesh.
The same light screen, the same venue, there was no difference from the team competition preliminary round in the morning.
Some people had a bad premonition in their hearts.
