As soon as dawn broke, figures began to emerge from the Ten Stars students’ courtyards, making their way to the Ten Stars Pavilion.
“The rankings will be released in an hour! Let’s head over there and wait.”
“I wonder how many points Senior Brother Duan accumulated. Teacher Yu was shocked after all.”
“We’ll have our answer in an hour.”
At this time, Yuan Lei was the only teacher on duty in the Ten Stars Pavilion. Initially, he had looked down on Duan Ling Tian due to his relationship with Ding Yan and Hong Jun. However, he no longer doubted Duan Ling Tian after Duan Ling Tian’s crushing victory over Hong Jun.
“Teacher Yuan Lei, the rankings will be released in an hour, but do you know how many points Duan Ling Tian accumulated?” Ding Yan asked. He stared at Yuan Lei intently, looking for changes in Yuan Lei’s expression.
“Get lost!” Yuan Lei said irritably, “What makes you think I know? Only Duan Ling Tian, Teacher Yu, and the dean know how many points Duan Ling Tian accumulated. Even I have to wait for the rankings to be released just like you.”
Ding Yan was disappointed when he heard Yuan Lei’s words.
At this time, a group of people had already gathered in one corner of the Ten Stars Pavilion, in front of a Formation. A blank screen that would show the rankings of the students hung in the air. Needless to say, all of these people had gathered here to find out about Duan Ling Tian’s points.
About half an hour later, the top five Ten Stars students before Duan Ling Tian’s appearance showed up as well, drawing everyone’s attention.
Following that, the teachers began to show up as well.
“How crowded! I guess everyone’s here to see Duan Ling Tian’s points.”
When it was 15 minutes before the rankings would be released, everyone, except for Duan Ling Tian and Zhong Ke Qi, the Young Master of the Zhong clan, had gathered.
“Duan Ling Tian isn’t here yet?”
“Zhong Ke Qi isn’t here as well…”
Since there were not many Ten Stars students, they could tell who was absent with just a quick look.
“Teacher Chu is here!”
All of the students recognized Chu Feng Yang since he was frequently on duty in the Ten Stars Pavilion.
The Ten Stars students and the teachers waited eagerly as they looked at the blank screen with anticipation shining in their eyes. Although it was just 15 minutes, it felt like years to them.
“Just a few more breaths left…”
The entire place fell silent. Soon after, the names of the Ten Stars students began to appear on the screen.
The names of those ranked in the bottom appeared first and slowly made its way up.
“Hong Jun accumulated 17,821 points and is ranked sixth.”
“Senior Hong Jun ranked the lowest among the six strongest senior brothers… There’s only five of them left, including Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian.”
One of the strongest Ten Stars students who were on par with Hong Jun and Hou Qing Ning ranked fifth and scored about slightly over 200 points more than Hong Jun with 18,030 points.
The student who ranked fourth had scored less than 100 points more than the student ranked fifth while the student ranked third scored more than 300 points compared to the student ranked fourth.
“Senior Brother Hou Qing Ning is in second place! He could’ve ranked first if it weren’t for Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”
“He scored more than 20,0000 points!”
A commotion broke out when Hou Qing Ning’s name appeared on the screen. After all, the previous student who ranked first only scored close to 20,000 points.
“He scored more than 20,000 points, but he’s not in first place. Senior Brother Hou Qing Ning must feel very dissatisfied.”
Many of the Ten Stars students looked at Hou Qing Ning curiously. However, they discovered Hou Qing Ning did not look unhappy or dissatisfied. He only looked at the screen expressionlessly.
“Senior Brother Duan’s points are about to be shown!”
The crowd held their breaths as they waited for Duan Ling Tian’s name to appear. Silence continued to reign over the place even when Duan Ling Tian’s points were revealed.
Everyone looked at each other in shock and disbelief when they finally regained their senses. Then, an uproar broke out immediately.
“H-how’s this possible?!”
“Is this real?”
“These points are heaven-defying!”
“Duan Ling Tian…” A bitter smile could be seen on Hou Qing Ning’s face at this moment.
Ding Yan had still yet to recover from his shock.
Even the teachers looked at each other incredulously when they regained their senses.
Chu Feng Yang’s felt his eyebrows twitching as he looked at Duan Ling Tian’s points. “I thought junior uncle might have overestimated Duan Ling Tian when he speculated Duan Ling Tian might have accumulated more than 50,000 points… No, all of us have underestimated him…”
“D-Duan Ling Tian is a monster…” Yuan Lei said tremblingly.
The teachers nodded in agreement.
Duan Ling Tian had scored 125,613 points! He had 100,000 points more than Hou Qing Ning who was ranked second.
“This has to be the craziest score in the history of the Hidden Fog Academy, right?” one of the Ten Stars students asked.
“The highest points recorded in history was almost 30,000 points. Not only did Senior Brother Duan break this record, but his points are four times greater!”
“Senior Brother Duan is truly a monstrous talent!”
“I didn’t expect to witness such a historical moment before I graduate from the Hidden Fog Academy. I can brag about this for the rest of my life!”
The Ten Stars Pavilion grew lively again as students and teachers discussed the rankings among themselves. To be precise, they were discussing Duan Ling Tian’s points.
Among everyone present, only one person seemed to be in a terrible mood. It was none other than Zhong He Liang, a disciple of the Zhong clan. Upon seeing the results, he had sent a message to Zhong Ke Qi, informing him of the matter.
…
“More than 120,000 points?”
Zhong Ke Qi, who was lying on the bed, sprung to his feet immediately with a shocked expression on his face. Soon after, his expression turned unsightly. He did not go to the Ten Stars Pavilion not because he was afraid Duan Ling Tian might attack him. He just did not want to see Duan Ling Tian being the focus of everyone’s attention. Moreover, based on Yu Qian Shan’s expression, he could tell Duan Ling Tian would definitely rank first. Since he saw Duan Ling Tian as his enemy, how could he feel good seeing Duan Ling Tian doing so well?
Nevertheless, he had instructed Zhong He Liang to inform him about the results as soon as the rankings were released. Who knew the news would shock him so much?
