Chapter 30 - Terrifying Gap in the Lead

The sea of grass rippled like the wind.

As soon as he stepped on the scorched earth, a sharp arrow nailed him to the ground.

His gaze shifted.

The arrogant archer raised his head and said, "Young Master Luo is talking to you. Did you not hear him? You... Oh!"

A long rainbow pierced the archer's face.

The magic arrow's damage wasn't high, but it was very humiliating.

"F*ck!"

The archer, whose face was covered in blood, pulled his bowstring in anger and was about to launch an attack.

After Xu Yuan shot an arrow, he quickly put the Spirit String Longbow back into his storage space. With a sudden tap of his foot, he rushed toward the monsters.

"He wants to run!"

"Chase!"

Luo Wuqiu took the lead and rushed forward.

He was very fast and caught up with Xu Yuan in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and threw the dagger straight at Xu Yuan's back.

Xu Yuan waved his sword and sent the dagger flying.

Luo Wuqiu lowered his body and jumped up to retrieve his dagger before falling down.

The two orange daggers sliced through the air and stabbed at Xu Yuan's back.

At the same time.

The Norkude clan that had been disturbed roared and charged toward the two of them.

The ranger slapped the violent wolf mount beneath him and rushed over with a howl. He stabbed his black-red spear at the two of them.

Xu Yuan dodged to the side.

Luo Wuqiu opened his left palm and sprinkled a handful of shimmering dust.

Disappear!

He immediately activated the Assassin's signature skill, and his figure immediately disappeared from the creature's sight.

Luo Wuqiu's figure disappeared on the spot. The gazes of all the monsters present fell directly on Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan didn't panic.

He bent his legs slightly and leaped forward.

In the next second, a bolt of lightning struck the spot where he had been standing just now.

Dazzling lightning gathered in Norkude Mage's palm, accumulating power for the next spell.

Xu Yuan, who was trapped in the monster horde, dodged left and right. Even though he dodged repeatedly, he still took a few attacks in a row. Fortunately, he had the protection of the Arcane Prism, so he was fine.

"You brat, you still want to use this opportunity to escape?" In the air, Luo Wuqiu's sinister voice rang out.

In his opinion, Xu Yuan took the initiative to rush into the mob, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to escape his attack!

However...

When Xu Yuan heard his voice, he could not help but smile.

Escape?

"You are too short-sighted, bro!" he thought.

He looked around and saw that Luo Wuqiu's accomplices had also caught up to him.

The time had come.

Xu Yuan stared at the charging Norkude Rangers, and Arcane energy gathered in his left hand. Spots of blue-purple light flashed in his hand.

Arcane Surge!

He was targeting the Rangers.

Surging Arcane energy exploded!

The fierce Norkude cavalrymen were instantly burned to ashes by the blazing energy. Then, a blinding white light suddenly lit up!

Boom!

Mysterious energy swept out in all directions, surging wildly!

"What's going on?" Luo Wuqiu and the others only felt their vision turn white and they could not see anything.

The question they had in their minds had just surfaced...

And even their consciousness dissipated instantly!

Boom!

The high temperature of the ground explosion point did not even need a second to evaporate the creatures within.

The only figure standing was the one who had cast the spell.

[Points +150]

[Points +200]

...

A series of tinkling sounds rang in his ears.

Outside the secret realm, everyone who was staring at the leaderboard widened their eyes in disbelief.

Originally, Xu Yuan only had 200 points.

In that instant, he had gained more than 7000 points!

"How did he do it?" They were dumbfounded.

"Pff!"

Zhang Jun, the form teacher who was waiting anxiously outside, was just about to take a sip of water to calm himself down when he saw this scene and spat it all over the ground.

"Did this kid bring a nuclear bomb in?"

Xu Yuan's points had soared in an instant. He must have killed many monsters in an instant and obtained their points at the same time!

Everyone who was paying attention to the exam was staring blankly at the scoreboard.

It had only been half an hour since the exam started. There was still more than an hour before it ended.

And on the leaderboard...

[1st Place: Xu Yuan; 7525 points]

[2nd Place: Mu Nuoyan; 195 points]

Second place's points were not even a fraction of first place!

This... How could there be such a terrifying gap in the lead?

"Great Master Liu, please find out the truth!"

The examiner who was waiting in the palace at the side of the square hurriedly pleaded to an old man with white hair and a beard.

The old man known as Great Master Liu nodded. He walked to a light screen in the palace and began to mutter an obscure incantation.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

The black pupils glowed with a bright ice-blue light. It was as if there was a clock spinning rapidly in the pupils.

A moment later, the light in his eyes dimmed.

"Great Master Liu, what's the situation?" Everyone hurriedly walked over and asked.

It was unknown what Great Master Liu had seen, but his expression was a little dull. After a long while, he said, "Everything is normal. There's no cheating."

He was a special consultant of the Ministry of Education, and his duty was to maintain the fairness of the examination hall.

As for what happened during the exam, he would not interfere, nor did he need to reveal more information to others.

Great Master Liu already knew what had happened in the examination hall of the Plains secret realm.

He only needed to submit a report after the test, describing what he had seen and heard.

The rest...

It was not under his control.

Luo Youdao, who was also staring at the leaderboard, was as dumbfounded as the others. "How, how did this kid do it?"

Luo Jun was also numb.

Luo Wuqiu had fallen to the 200th place with a pitiful 120 points.

"What's going on?"

Luo Youdao frowned.

He stared at his son's name and his points.

After more than ten minutes, the points remained unchanged.

This was not right!

Luo Youdao took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, and paced around the room anxiously.

First place in the province?

At the moment, it seemed unrealistic.

The Treasure Chest Merchant had used some unknown method to instantly reap more than 7000 points!

"Third Brother." Luo Youdao turned his head and asked Luo Jun, "Does that kid have any other abilities besides selling treasure chests?"

Luo Jun shook his head, "As far as I know. No!"

At this moment.

Even if he wanted to use the excuse of "Lin Zhenhua secretly gave him something", it would not make sense.

Lin Zhenhua couldn't possibly secretly give this kid a super-high-yield bomb, right?

Even if he did...

For example, why didn't he prepare a set of powerful forbidden spell scrolls for his daughter?

"Let's wait until the exam is over!" Luo Jun comforted his big brother, his heart also somewhat anxious.

In the second generation of the Luo family, Luo Wuqiu had the highest aptitude.

The Luo family had wanted to take advantage of this provincial examination to let Luo Wuqiu enter the eyes of more powerful people.

The two brothers paced back and forth impatiently, occasionally stopping in front of the light screen to take a look at the changes in Luo Wuqiu's points.

However...

Until the end of the exam...

Luo Wuqiu's points didn't change at all!
