1752 I’ll Give You A Chance. Come And Challenge Me! (1)
Sealed!
This feeling couldn’t be wrong.
It must be a seal!
Since Wang Teng had mastered sealing techniques himself so he was not unfamiliar with this phenomenon. Therefore, he understood the situation clearly.
Who is it? Even my clone got discovered. Wang Teng turned serious. Many thoughts went through his mind.
His clone was well-hidden but it was still discovered and subsequently sealed.
His opponent’s strength and caution exceeded his expectation.
However, one thing puzzled him. If it was an enemy, they could simply destroy the clone. Why bother sealing it?
This approach seemed counterproductive.
Unless the other party didn’t have any hostile intent?
But then, why would they silently take away Lin Chuhan?
Wang Teng didn’t understand. His mind was in a whirl. The most pressing issue was that he had lost his last lead and had no way of locating Lin Chuhan.
He opened his eyes slowly. His face was a little gloomy. A suppressed emotion seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
“Wang Teng!” Round Ball shouted worriedly.
“I’m fine,” Wang Teng replied.
“Any clues?” Round Ball couldn’t help but ask.
“No. My clone is sealed so I can’t find her location,” Wang Teng replied.
“How did this happen?” Round Ball was in disbelief. It hesitated before asking, “What should we do now?”
“We have no choice but to wait. Since the other party didn’t destroy my clone and only sealed it, it means that Lin Chuhan is likely safe. We can only wait for the other party to look for us.” Wang Teng shook his head.
“Let me see if I can use Lin Chuhan’s wristwatch to locate her,” Round Ball pondered and said.
“I can only give it a try. After all, the virtual network is ultimately the Virtual Universe Company’s territory. I’m not sure if I can avoid detection,” Round Ball replied.
“Okay!” Round Ball nodded and disappeared on the spot.
At first, it planned to cultivate but now, he could only help Wang Teng to find Lin Chuhan first.
Wang Teng sat quietly in the room for a while, making an effort to calm himself down. There was nothing he could do at the moment so he could only wait. He mustn’t let his emotions get the best of him.
“Sigh!” After some time, he let out a long sigh. His inner turmoil gradually calmed down.
Round Ball knew that he was anxious so it didn’t bring up the matter of cultivation but he hadn’t forgotten about it. He closed his eyes once more and immersed himself in the memories of the Devour Nihility Beast. He was searching for a suitable spiritual power scripture and battle techniques for Round Ball’s cultivation.
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
For the past three days, there was no news from Wang Teng. On the other hand, the outside world was bustling with activity.
On a plain within the academy, a massive stone monument hung suspended in midair. The names of many freshmen had already appeared on it.
Freshmen Leaderboard!
This stone plate was the Freshmen Leaderboard!
Three days ago, when the freshmen came back from the Uncharted, many of their abilities rose tremendously. They also learned that the Freshmen Leaderboard had been activated.
Many people started fighting for the rankings excitedly.
Within three days, tens of thousands of names had appeared on the stone plate.
But, this wasn’t all the new students. There were countless talented martial warriors from various territorial domains.
The Grand Qian Empire alone had a thousand individuals. Except for the top ten, the rest were almost evenly distributed among the Seven Stellar Academies.
The Seven Stellar Academies had to ensure a sufficient student base to sustain their continuous growth.
This was the consensus reached by the Seven Stellar Academies.
Although there was competition, it wasn’t a cutthroat competition. It was a healthy rivalry aimed at ensuring that their counterparts remained sufficiently strong.
Thus, even though the Seventh Stellar Academy was a little weaker, they still recruited a considerable number of students every year. At most, the number of students from the top ten might be slightly fewer than those from the other stellar academies.
In every territorial domain, there were a few factions like the Great Qian Empire. Hence, each stellar academy was able to recruit hundreds of students from each territorial domain. Considering all the territorial domains, the total number of students could reach nearly a hundred thousand.
So, the names on the stone monument at this moment weren’t all the students.
Many were still observing!
The opening of the Freshmen Leaderboard was the hottest event of the academy. Those well-known seniors within the academy had mostly risen through the ranks of the Freshmen Leaderboard.
To a large extent, the Freshmen Leaderboard was an excellent opportunity for the instructors and senior students to observe the real talents.
Some individuals might excel in the League Of Talents but upon entering the academy, they might lag and get caught up by others.
However, the Freshmen Leaderboard was different. Once the Freshmen Leaderboard was opened, it would stand within the academy until the appearance of the next batch of new students.
During this time, everyone could vie for positions on the Freshmen Leaderboard.
Thus, as long as someone caught up, the people at the front of the Freshmen Leaderboard would be pushed down.
A momentary rise didn’t mean much. The true victors and the real formidable warriors were those who ultimately had the last laugh!
This was why most people weren’t in a hurry to contend for positions on the Freshmen Leaderboard.
