“Aren’t you already Level 13?”

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s words, Xia Jinyao couldn’t help but laugh. However, she didn’t say anything else and sat down beside Zhang Xuan.

Xia Jinyao, who was at Level 13, had a skill that could observe the amount of experience the other party had. Currently, Zhang Xuan had 93% of his experience at Level 17, which was much faster than her leveling speed.

Soon, more and more people gathered in the lounge. Although Xia Jinyao was an S-rank, she wasn’t the only S-rank. S-rank class holders from other regions also appeared one after another.

The first one was the S-rank Blood Demon Chen Siwen. Although he was very unhappy, he still walked away obediently when he saw Xia Jinyao.

The Angel of Judgement was the nemesis of the Blood Demon’s ancestors.

Zhang Xuan had also seen the S-rank classes from the other regions. However, they only greeted Xia Jinyao and ignored Zhang Xuan.

“The top 100 are all here. Next, please enter the arena and announce the latest combat strength rankings!”

The players in the waiting room all stood up when they heard the announcement, but there were still many people who glanced at Zhang Xuan. They never thought that Zhang Xuan would really enter the top 100!

After passing through a tunnel, they arrived at a huge venue. Both sides of the venue were already filled with spectators.

In the middle was an arena with a diameter of a few hundred meters. Above the arena was a wide display screen.

Zhang Xuan and the others followed the staff’s guidance to the contestant area. After sitting down, five elders appeared on the stage. The appearance of these five people immediately attracted a wave of cheers.

Although he had only seen them on television, Zhang Xuan recognized them as the persons in charge of the five districts. One of them was the person in charge of the Northern Spiritual District, Ji Hai.

The few people in front spoke a few words one by one, and the atmosphere in the venue became much more enthusiastic. Then, the beautiful host appeared, which also announced the official start of the selection.

The contestants beside Zhang Xuan were rubbing their fists. It was obvious that many of them had already started the next part of the competition.

“Announce the top ten of the latest battle strength rankings. Tenth place, Jiang Shuai, Level 10 A+ class Soul Hunter!”

Jiang Shuai’s information appeared on the big screen. His combat power was 3,355, and the crowd burst into applause.

In an independent stand, Jiang Dalong let out a sigh of relief. The top 10 was not bad. He thought Jiang Shuai wouldn’t even make it into the top 20.

“Your son is not bad. He didn’t farm properly in the past few days, but he can still enter the top 10!”

“Luck, luck.”

At this moment, Ji Hai came to Jiang Dalong’s side and sat down. “You guys agreed to give me a surprise. It can’t be this, right?”

Tenth place was indeed not bad, but it was not a surprise at all.

“Don’t worry, it’s definitely a surprise!”

Lei Xing and Jiang Dalong patted their chests in assurance. Seeing that the two of them were so sure, Ji Hai turned his gaze to the arena.

“Sixth place: Chen Siwen, Level 13 S-rank Blood Demon!”

The sixth place was announced. Zhang Xuan silently looked at the screen that showed 4,423 combat power. Chen Siwen’s combat power had jumped a level because he was an S-rank. He was nearly 1,000 higher than the seventh place!

However, Chen Siwen’s expression was a little ugly at this moment. According to the information, there were only five S-rank classes in the five districts. He should be ranked fifth at the very least!

He wasn’t the only one. The other S-rank classes in the other regions were also a little puzzled. Although there would be dark horses appearing in previous years, there was basically no one who could suppress S-rank classes.

As the rankings were announced, people gradually realized that something was wrong.

Fifth place was the Weapon Master of the Southern Spiritual District, Hao Ren, with a combat power of 5,045.

Fourth place was the Elemental Guardian King Zhou Qian from the Eastern Spiritual District. Her combat power was 5,554.

The third place was Tantai Minglei, a Golden Lion from the West Spiritual District. His combat power had directly broken through 6,000!

A few S-rank class holders wanted to know who had snatched the second place. However, after the announcement, all the S-rank class holders and many spectators could not remain calm.

“No way! An S-rank Angel of Judgment is only ranked second? Why do I remember that the best class this year is the Angel of Judgement?”

“And didn’t they say that there are only five S-rank class players? Why is the last one ranked sixth?”

“Previously, I thought that it might be an A+ class, but now that the Angel of Judgement is second place, that’s too unreal!”

Compared to the audience in the stands, the few S-rank class holders were even more puzzled.

Although they were all arrogant, they knew how strong Xia Jinyao’s class was. Putting aside actual combat, her combat strength was definitely number one!

However, the reality in front of them told them that even Xia Jinyao, whose combat strength had reached 7,000, could only be ranked second!

However, when they looked at Xia Jinyao, she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she was chatting with an E-rank Warrior.

It seemed as if she had no objections to this result!

“Don’t tell me that E-rank Warrior is number one? I just noticed that this guy is actually Level 17!”

Tantai Minglei guessed, but this was immediately refuted by the other two S-rank class holders.

“Big Brother, what are you thinking? How can the difference in levels be so easily filled? And don’t forget, no matter how high a Warrior’s level is, he doesn’t even have any skills!”

“That’s right. I think it’s better to think about getting an A-rank than guessing an E-rank Warrior.”

Although he said that, Tantai Minglei knew very well that with Xia Jinyao’s pride, she would definitely not be so passionate with an E-rank class holder with no future.

In the stands.

At this moment, Jiang Dalong and Lei Xing smiled at the same time. Then, they looked at Ji Hai together.

When Ji Hai saw the display on the big screen, he was also surprised.

For a class holder to surpass an S-rank class in terms of combat power, their class should at least be around A+.

If that were the case, it would mean that the Northern Spiritual District had a second S-rank!

Noticing their gazes, Ji Hai smiled and said, “This surprise is indeed not bad. I will consider the funds for next year.”

When the two of them heard about the funding, they immediately became energetic.

“We guarantee that it will definitely be a big surprise!”

“We definitely won’t disappoint you!”

The news of the second place caused a lot of people to exclaim and discuss. For a time, the venue was quite noisy because the combat power of this level was already similar to that of an ordinary Level 25 class!

“Next up is the announcement of the first place on the combat power ranking list. What class do you think he will be?”

The beautiful host’s words aroused the curiosity of countless viewers. Then, she slowly swiped the control screen in her hand. However, in the next moment, her beautiful eyes suddenly stared at the display on the screen.

At this moment, the message that appeared on the screen made the entire venue fall silent.

In the player area, everyone was instantly dumbfounded. Then, their gazes locked onto Zhang Xuan.

A Level 17 E-rank Warrior with a combat power of 10,000?
