C327 Where Did All the Points Go?(2)

Continuing along the river for a short while, Tang Xiaoyue stumbled upon a peculiar little bridge. Thinking she could dash across to find Woo Zhengyang, she eagerly stepped onto it. To her surprise, the bridge didn't lead her to the other side but instead transported her to a mysterious realm. There, her skills advanced rapidly, and she soon reached the late stage of the Reality Condensing Stage, becoming an Advanced Martial Master.

As an Advanced Martial Master, her abilities were now on par with Qian Banruo's, placing her among the top ranks of the Heavenly Martial Seed. Earning six points seemed perfectly reasonable. Hearing about Tang Xiaoyue's experience, the three others couldn't help but admire her luck. The Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association had been around for many years, and opportunities like the one she found were extremely rare. It was quite a feat for her to discover such a place, something that hadn't happened in years.

With no way to compete for badges on the isolated island, the four of them had little to do but engage in casual conversation. Despite becoming an Advanced Martial Master, Tang Xiaoyue's personality remained unchanged. Woo Zhengyang didn't mind her nature, but her endless questions were a bit much, especially since he couldn't answer some of them, which was quite frustrating for him. Fu Chuan noticed this and skillfully mediated, easing Woo Zhengyang's predicament.

Among the four, Tang Xiaoyue was temporarily in fifth place with six points, Qian Banruo was in tenth with five points, and Woo Zhengyang held the twelfth position with four points.

Just before Qian Banruo entered the isolated island, the tenth spot was also held by someone with four points, suggesting that besides him, it was likely Woo Zhengyang. Fu Chuan was two points behind Woo Zhengyang, placing him directly at twenty-fifth.

As time ticked by, the countdown to the Ultimate Battle's start was nearing its end. Those on the island finally noticed something unusual. By now, the remaining seeds in the Heavenly Martial Realm should have mostly gathered.

In previous years, around a hundred Heavenly Martial Seeds participated in the Ultimate Battle. This year, however, only about fifty were on the island, half of what was expected. Looking at the leaderboard, the points not only failed to increase compared to previous years but actually decreased significantly.

Apart from Zhan Bugui, who topped the list with thirteen points, the other nine were all in single digits. The second place had eight points, while third to fifth had six points each. From sixth to tenth, all had a uniform five points. The top ten collectively held sixty-four points. Although there were over forty others, most had just one or two points, and many had none at all.

Adding up everyone's points, it totaled around eighty. With 164 participants, if around a hundred were gathered on the island as in previous years, the points would make sense. But with only about fifty people present, both the points and the number of participants seemed off.

People began to speculate about who held the remaining points. Was it one of those unseen geniuses, or perhaps the formidable Moh Lunhui? Woo Zhengyang was nowhere on the leaderboard, so what was Moh Lunhui's situation? These individuals hadn't appeared yet—could they have teamed up? If so, it would make sense why only fifty people were present.

Aside from Woo Zhengyang and Qian Banruo, others didn't realize that the remaining geniuses were likely out of the game or worse. As the deadline for the final battle approached, the much-anticipated Moh Lunhui finally appeared, arriving just in time. But he was alone—no one else accompanied him.

At that moment, everyone sensed something was off. When Moh Lunhui wrote his name and pressed his number, the crowd was stunned. Moh Lunhui had twenty-nine points, instantly surpassing Zhan Bugui to claim the top spot! His points were more than double Zhan Bugui's. The crowd was in an uproar at this revelation.

Someone had already done the math: including Moh Lunhui, fifty-six Heavenly Martial Seeds had appeared on the island. With a total of 164 points, subtracting the base points of these fifty-six individuals left 108 points. The original top ten accounted for sixty-four points, and Moh Lunhui took twenty-nine, meaning the remaining forty-five people shared just fifteen points, with most likely having none at all.

With the arrival of Moh Lunhui, Qian Banruo, who originally held the tenth spot, was bumped off the Ranking Tower, and Woo Zhengyang and others were each pushed back a place. However, at this moment, no one was concerned about these shifts.

Out of the eight prodigies, seven participated in the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association. The Ultimate Battle hadn't even started, yet only Zhan Bugui and Qian Banruo remained. Everyone understood the implications of this.

Moh Lunhui, known as the God of Death, was infamous for his deadly touch. His 29 points likely represented the lives of over twenty people. Tang Xiaoyue and Fu Chuan, initially skeptical of Qian Banruo's suspicions, now faced undeniable reality.

This year's Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association was bound to be chaotic!
