Tang Yu’s high-profile appearance attracted the attention of countless people, and those who were not particularly interested in the competition before also
paid full attention.
Such as Su Mingyue, Li Changying, or Jiang Huai.
Because in their opinion, Tang Yu was at their level, a worthy opponent to take seriously.
The assessment process also confirmed this. During the first round, Tang Yu smiled and helped a little girl carry her backpack home. He even opened the door for her and let her family come out to greet her. When he left, the little girl even gave him a kiss.
He passed with a score of 9.0, the highest score so far.
In the second round, facing the War God-level Russian martial artist, Tang Yu first tried to persuade him, but the Russian didn’t give him any face and continued to humiliate the girl. Finally, Tang Yu had to take action.
Some martial artists felt that Tang Yu was a bit slow. If he had acted earlier, the girl could have suffered less humiliation. However, Tang Yu remained calm and indifferent to the situation.
In this round, Tang Yu scored eight points, which was a very good result. More importantly, he didn’t show any fear when faced with the War God-level Russian martial artist.
In the third round, Tang Yu didn’t show much excitement when facing Yan Qiyue. In the face of Yan Qiyue’s spiritual pressure, he was much calmer than the average martial artist.
When Yan Qiyue asked him to kneel down, Tang Yu responded, “I am a believer of the True God of the Stars, and while I respect you, Yan Qiyue, as a national hero, I can’t kneel down for you, because you are not yet comparable to the deity!”
Tang Yu’s words made many girls in the audience scream in admiration, calling him handsome. Even Su Mingyue’s eyes sparkled, obviously moved by his words.
Tang Yu persisted for one minute and thirty seconds. When Yan Qiyue increased the intensity of his spiritual pressure for the third time, Tang Yu finally couldn’t hold on any longer. However, he didn’t kneel down but fell on his back instead.
The screen disappeared, and Tang Yu received another 8.5 points.
After three rounds, Tang Yu had accumulated twenty-six points. As long as he could pass all five rounds, he would surely gain a high score.
In the fourth round, Tang Yu displayed his powerful strength. Within ten minutes, he killed seven B-level Mutant Beasts and twenty-three C-level Variant Beasts, once again receiving 8.5 points.
In the final round, Tang Yu’s performance wasn’t particularly smooth, but he eventually passed, getting exactly six passing points.
Having completed all five rounds, Tang Yu scored a rare total of forty-one points, jumping to the top of the leaderboard, a full five points ahead of Zhou Xiangbei in second place!
The people of Ice City Base City cheered; Tang Yu had brought them glory this time. This score would surely be hard to beat.
Just as the cheers from Ice City were dying down, there came even more enthusiastic cheers from the Northwest. Their representative, Sui Changlong, also successfully passed all five rounds, gaining a total of forty-two points!
The focus had been on Tang Yu’s performance, and as such, Sui Changlong had been overlooked. The intensity of the primary assessment was not as high as the advanced one, but there was also a difference in the martial artists’ capabilities. The assessment was still fair, and Sui Changlong’s performance had proven that his potential surpassed Tang Yu’s!
In the battle between the Northwest and Ice City, Sui Changlong had taken the top spot, leaving the second-place competitor far behind. This seemed to make it nearly impossible to catch up to his score.
When Tang Yu returned to the team, he received a welcome fitting of a celebrity. Only Lin Zhen and Zhang Yue remained sitting on the side and didn’t approach him to talk.
Even though Tang Yu appeared calm, Lin Zhen could tell that having scored forty-one points and becoming the first in the advanced category, only to have Sui Changlong from the primary category score forty-two points, had undoubtedly affected his state of mind.
People continued to pay attention to the scores from the other base cities. After the eleventh and twelfth rounds, the martial artists from the Northwest military base began to push forward, and many made it onto the leaderboard.
The first place in the Intermediate War General category was also taken by the Northwest, giving them two first-place spots on the leaderboard.
The students were sitting together, and the team leaders from various base cities were also gathered, chatting casually. From the Northwest military base, War God Shi Sheng coughed and said to Guan Shanyue, “Hehe, Old Guan, it must be a bit frustrating to always be in charge of Ice City, huh?”
Guan Shanyue’s expression remained cold: “I have nothing to be frustrated about.”
“Just admit it’s frustrating. After all, you are originally from Ice City Base City. You should be in charge of your hometown, shouldn’t you?” Shi Sheng said with a sly smile.
“Is there a problem with me taking care of my hometown?”
“Of course not, it’s just that your hometown is not particularly competitive. It has been at the bottom for three consecutive sessions, and it seems that it’s going to be tough this time as well. Of course, this is not your fault, Old Guan. It’s the fault of these young people who are not fighting hard enough.”
As Shi Sheng said this, he felt extremely happy in his heart. He and Guan Shanyue were classmates, and at the time, he felt overshadowed by Guan Shanyue’s performance. Now he finally had a chance to ridicule him.
“Shi Sheng, you’re speaking too soon. We still hold the first place in the Advanced War General category,” someone retorted.
“Hehe, it’s only temporary. You won’t be in first place any longer because our Li Changying is up next.”
Guan Shanyue looked at the big screen, and indeed, the thirteenth round had begun. The star player this time was Li Changying, a Level Nine Martial General from the Northwest military base.
Li Changying was over 1.9 meters tall, his angular face giving a strong and unyielding demeanor. His appearance immediately caused waves of cheers from the Northwest.
As the round began, Li Changying shot out like a cannonball, leaving the other Advanced War Generals far behind in an instant.
“Running fast doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll pass the test,” Guan Shanyue said disdainfully.
“Just watch, you’ll be shocked soon enough,” Shi Sheng said with great confidence.
In this round, almost all martial artists were paying attention to Li Changying’s situation because he was also a strong contender for the first-place ranking.
The most likely to win the championship among Advanced War Generals were
Jiang Huai, followed by Li Changying, Su Mingyue, Tang Yu, and others. Li Changying had innate divine power and speed, and his strength could not be ignored by anyone.
Li Changying ran all the way without any slowdown, reaching the first platform ahead of the others by almost one-third of the distance. As he put on the helmet, the first level’s image appeared.
The little girl appeared and greeted Li Changying.
Li Changying walked over slowly, looked down at the little girl, and without a smile on his cold face, he asked, “Where is your home?”
The little girl pointed to her house, and Li Changying immediately picked her up and carried her along with the backpack. He arrived at her doorstep with a few big steps, pushed the door open with one hand, placed the girl and the backpack into the yard, and then closed the door with one hand. The entire process took less than twenty seconds.
He successfully passed the level, scoring 9-5 points!
This score shocked all the martial artists, including Lin Zhen.
“This guy handles things without any hesitation; he’s quite a character!”
Li Changying quickly completed the first level, took off his helmet, and immediately started running toward the second level like a wild horse, at an incredibly fast speed!
When he reached the second level, the members of the novice generals’ team had just arrived at the first level.
However, no one was watching the novice and intermediate teams anymore. People’s attention was focused on Li Changying. After arriving at the second level, he immediately put on the helmet and entered the virtual illusion.
In the second level, there were several Russian martial artists mistreating women. Li Changying’s eyes turned red as soon as he saw it, and without saying a word, he raised his hand, and an Iron Cavalry Spear appeared. He charged forward and attacked!
The image ended, and Li Changying scored a perfect ten in the second level!
If his 9-5 points in the previous level were already the highest score, but still could be broken, now he got a full score in the second level, which was an unbeatable record!
Within just two levels, he scored 19-5 points, which no one could compare with!
And Li Changying’s performance was not over yet. After the second level, he sprinted all the way to the third level, where he faced the ethnic hero, Yan Qiyue. To everyone’s surprise, he lasted for a full two minutes!
After two minutes, Li Changying could no longer endure. He tried to stab his spear into the ground and hold onto it, but he couldn’t do so under Yan Qiyue’s spiritual pressure. In the end, his mouth overflowed with blood, and right before he was about to fall, the scene ended.
People knew that Li Changying probably wouldn’t have lasted another second, but his willpower was incredibly shocking. This was the spirit of never giving up.
Challenge successful, scoring nine points.
Li Changying woke up from the illusion and sprinted again without any hesitation, heading straight for the fourth floor. Even until then, his speed hadn’t slowed down much, and his physical strength was astonishingly abundant.
In the fourth level, during the Mutated Beast’s attack on the city, people witnessed Li Changying’s combat power. Within ten minutes, he killed one
A-level Mutant Beast, three B-level Mutant Beasts, and eight C-level Variant Beasts.
At the end of the fight, Li Changying scored nine points in the fourth level!
Only Jiang Huai had managed to kill an A-level Mutant Beast before, and now Li Changying had done it too, leaving everyone stunned.
At this time, Tang Yu closed his eyes slightly, as if lost in thought.
Even though he came first in the Advanced Military category, his rank was quickly surpassed by a novice martial general, which made him lose face.
Now, another person from the Northwest Military, Li Changying, had effortlessly broken his record. Even though Tang Yu was devout and virtuous, he must be unhappy at this moment.
Li Changying finally encountered a bit of trouble at the last level and scored 7-5 points, still surpassing Tang Yu.
At this point, Li Changying’s final score came out—45 points!
In this competition with a perfect score of 50 points, he actually led the second place, Tang Yu, by four points. Only five points away from a perfect score, his performance ranked among the best of all participating generals.
As Shi Sheng had said, Tang Yu’s brief first place had turned into second place.
At this time, the Ice City warriors all looked unhappy. Tang Yu didn’t even get the first place, so Ice City’s results this time would probably be at the bottom
again..
