Xu Yingwu looked at the ranking list hanging high above the Myriad Beasts Space and gave a helpless bitter smile, saying, "My little junior uncle really knows how to crush a person's confidence!"
It has now been thirty-two days since everyone entered the Beast Space. The geniuses of the major powers are all giving it their all to climb the rankings, which are now so high that even those from smaller factions would hesitate to even attempt to reach them.
"Four Xu Yingwu, 40,120 points."
"Five Continents of Wisdom, 39,856 points."
"Seventy thousand green, thirty-nine thousand six hundred and twenty-three."
"Eight stones of fierce strength, thirty-eight thousand three hundred and ninety-two points."
"Nine Lions Fierce, 36,691 points."
"Xiao Xun'er, 29,576 points."
The rankings clearly show the level of effort of the five major forces. After all, there is a huge gap between the five major forces and those behind them. This is how terrifying the so-called leading forces are! Of course, after Xu Yingwu and Xiao Xun'er taught Shi Han a lesson, his martial aunt left. However, Xiao Xun'er had a considerable impact on Xu Yingwu.
After learning from Shi Han that he had sabotaged Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er proceeded to brutally beat him in front of everyone. The once arrogant Shi Han was completely outmatched and rendered powerless by Xiao Xun'er. Only after rendering Shi Han incapacitated did Xiao Xun'er casually remark, "If I don't kill you now, he'll come himself."
Xu Yingwu naturally knew that the person Xiao Xun'er was talking about was none other than his junior uncle, Xiao Yan!
Xiao Xun'er then left alone, and her subsequent results shocked Xu Yingwu. After all, the top few were all relying on their influence, and it was quite unbelievable that Xiao Xun'er made it into the top ten on her own.
Of course, while Xiao Xun'er only impressed Xu Yingwu, Xiao Yan had become a legend within the Myriad Beasts Space. Now, everyone in the Myriad Beasts Space knew of Xiao Yan's illustrious name; his ranking among the top three on the leaderboard was simply too astonishing.
"Yang Lingyan, 52,336 points."
"Erchu Group, 53,178 points."
Yang Lingyan and Chu Qun's achievements were truly unbelievable, considering they hadn't even announced forming a team; they had to rely entirely on their own efforts. Achieving such incredible results was something even the most hard-working person couldn't accomplish, because in this terrain, no one could guarantee they would accurately locate the magical beasts every time. Although the magical beasts' senses were weakened, their ability to conceal their presence was greatly enhanced by the characteristics of the Myriad Beasts Space, meaning that even when they were very close, they could still miss one.
Of course, while Yang Lingyan and Chu Qun's results could be somewhat explained, Xiao Yan's ranking first was enough to make the major powers despair.
"Xiao Yan, 75,378 points."
His score was almost double that of the other three people on the list. No one knew how Xiao Yan did it. Some even suspected that Xiao Yan had found a way to modify the rules of the Myriad Beasts Space, since the Myriad Beasts Space had existed for countless years and it was normal for the rules to loosen.
Otherwise, no one could understand why Xiao Yan's score was so high, because even killing magical beasts without making a single mistake wouldn't be possible, due to time constraints. Time within the Myriad Beasts Space is limited, and people still need rest.
Of course, Xiao Yan was definitely taking a break. In fact, Xiao Yan, Chu Qun, and Yang Lingyan were leisurely enjoying a delicious meal of bear paws prepared by chef Chu Qun himself.
The food was incredibly fresh and tender. Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire Chu Qun. After spending time together, he could see that Chu Qun, who came from Minghua Tower, had extremely high standards for his quality of life.
As Yang Lingyan tore into the bear paw, his admiration for Xiao Yan was palpable. He laughed, "Our achievement is something no one could have reached, even back to the very beginning of the Myriad Beasts Space!"
Chu Qun pouted and said, "It's all thanks to Brother Xiao. The soul power boost brought by the Soul Transfer Technique allows us to move around freely at night, giving us twice as much time as others."
During this period, Chu Qun and Yang Lingyan were completely convinced of Xiao Yan's abilities. For Chu Qun, the opportunity for Minghua Tower to become the leading force in the Northwest Region was right in front of him. For Yang Lingyan, the fact that the Snake Mansion had occupied two seats in the first three days was something that Yang Yue outside would probably be laughing in his dreams if he knew about it.
Then Chu Qun asked Xiao Yan, "Brother Xiao, can your body handle converting your Dou Qi day and night?"
Because every time Xiao Yan converts his Dou Qi into soul power, he immediately cultivates and recovers. Once he's recovered, he sets off to lead the way and hunt magical beasts without stopping for a moment, except when he's eating.
For the past two weeks, Chu Qun and Yang Lingyan have felt too tense and couldn't take it anymore, but Xiao Yan has never relaxed in the slightest.
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "This Soul Transfer Technique is good, but the soul power obtained through transfer will dissipate over time if not used, and it can only detect concealed objects, not attack them. If we want to get first place, we won't have much time to rest."
Of course, there was something Xiao Yan didn't say aloud: although the continuous work was exhausting, he felt his soul power was slowly increasing at an almost imperceptible pace under this relentless transformation. This was truly an unexpected delight for Xiao Yan. Fatigue was unavoidable, but the increase in soul power made him even happier.
However, Xiao Yan still said, "We've really been working too hard lately, let's rest for the night!"
Both Yang Lingyan and Chu Qun felt a sense of relief upon hearing this. After all, people need rest, and they had been barely holding on by sheer willpower to maintain their rankings during this period.
After nightfall, the three of them rested on the spot. Xiao Yan had scouted the surroundings beforehand and found nothing that could threaten them, so he told the other two that they could rest assured. Xiao Yan also closed his eyes and began to rest; he had been under much more pressure than Chu Qun and the other two during this period.
As dawn broke, Xiao Yan and his two companions got up rather late. Feeling refreshed, they were back to their peak condition. Xiao Yan had just used the Soul Transfer Technique and was preparing to scan the surrounding area.
Xiao Yan and Yang Lingyan both sensed something was wrong; Yang Yue had given them a signal through the jade ring he had given them beforehand.
Because Xiao Yan and Yang Lingyan had been spending a lot of time together, they had turned off the jade ring's notifications. However, the jade ring's unusual activity at this moment proved that they had encountered their own people again.
After sensing the situation, Xiao Yan's expression darkened.
Yang Lingyan asked, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
"Qinglin is in trouble..."
