In the next moment, the score ranking board changed again, making Liu Qingzhu even more anxious.

Five minutes later, Liu Qingzhu didn’t want to look at the score ranking board anymore—it was too disheartening.

The one she had pinned high hopes on, Meng Qingqiu, was only twenty-six points behind Xu Jin, but in just a short while, not only had this gap not narrowed, it had actually widened.

The gap had become thirty-four points.

Catching up had become even more difficult!

Liu Qingzhu was even more depressed; she dared not look at the scoreboard any longer. Looking at it wouldn’t change anything, only adding to her anxiety.

With a thought, Liu Qingzhu activated the Star-picking Order, and instantly her perspective moved above Xu Jin in the Secret Realm.

At this moment, she was more curious about how a disciple from a County Taoist Institute could leave the disciples from the National Taoist Institute trailing so far behind.

On the Martial Observation Platform, some were surprised, some silent, and some had gloomy expressions, but the ones laughing were only two— one was National Master Cheng Yue Xiao and the other was Jinshan Taoist Institute’s Mountain Master, Dong Zhao.

The Dean of Yan State’s Taoist Institute, Lu Chenfeng’s eyes were so gloomy, they appeared ready to drip with water.

Xu Jin of Jinshan Taoist Institute had taken first place.

Yet Miao Long, the one they had placed great expectations on in Yan State’s Taoist Institute, was currently only ranked seventeenth in this challenge.

In the National Taoist Institute’s viewing area, Lv Kun’s handsome face was now darker than the bottom of a pot.

Before the battle, he had instructed his good friends such as Yan Chen to find an opportunity to sabotage Xu Jin and thoroughly ruin this guy’s future.

Xu Jin dared to destroy half of Lv Kun’s future prospects; Lv Kun would ruin Xu Jin’s future in retaliation.

But looking at the situation now, he was worried about Yan Chen.

He hoped that Yan Chen wouldn’t be too foolish to make a move against Xu Jin now.

At this moment, with Xu Jin leading the scores, he had obviously become the focus of attention for the big shots. If Yan Chen dared to foul play, unless it was flawless, considering that the big shots were watching, to harm a comrade on the battlefield would mean the outcome for Yan Chen was easy to imagine.

On the other hand, Lv Kun still hoped that Yan Chen and the others would sabotage Xu Jin.

Successful or not, it would prove that they were true brothers, bound by an unspoken code of life and death.

Inside the Practical Martial Arts Secret Realm, Yan Chen was moving forward cautiously, vigilant and in search of enemies.

The Practical Martial Arts Secret Realm had two goals this time: one was scoring, and the other was survival for an hour.

These were the most important.

As for the revenge mission Lv Kun had given him, Yan Chen hadn’t even thought about it.

First, the two parties might not encounter each other.

Secondly, this was a battlefield governed by military discipline, and if he acted, it could ruin his life.

Yan Chen might be hot-blooded, but the elders of his family were definitely not fools. Having noticed something during the observation, they had already given their instructions.

Under the banner of Jinshan Taoist Institute, Ning Yuchan’s face brimmed with uncontainable joy.

First place!

To her surprise, Xu Jin had managed to take a significant lead and maintain the top position.

This brought Ning Yuchan exceptional joy.

The so-called autumn exam was not only an assessment for the disciples but also a test for many deans, mountain masters, and instructors of the Taoist Institutes.

Especially the evaluation of the Chief Instructors of the Taoist Institutes was closely related to the performance of the disciples.

In any challenge, as long as a disciple got a first place, it would grant an A+ evaluation.

Two would be two A+ evaluations.

With two A+ evaluations, she might be able to advance beyond her current level.

Advancement and such didn’t concern Ning Yuchan, but what she cared about were the opportunities after advancing. Only with advancement could she possibly find a way to treat her lame leg.

Although these years, she had gotten used to it.

But she was not willing to live like this forever...

******

Inside the Practical Martial Arts Secret Realm, Xu Jin was unaware that dozens of eyes were watching over him. He proceeded with extreme caution.

The score had been full at ten long ago, with the next condition being to survive for an hour.

Under these premises, the goal was to score higher and earn better rewards.

One hundred and seven points now.

Xu Jin didn’t know what his current ranking was with this score, but surely, he must be in the top ten, right?

The benefits of undergoing Purification eight times were now fully manifested in his Star Skill’s might.

Whether it was in the Seventh Layer of Dining Dawn Realm or the Early Period of Star Casting, they were all killed in one strike.

In the Middle Period of Star Casting, sometimes a Star Arrow followed by an extra blow was needed.

For the Late Period and the Peak of Star Casting, both required additional strikes.

However, Xu Jin had not yet encountered any from the Star Refining Realm of the Alien Race.

What a pity that Star Power was limited.

Especially in this Martial Arts Secret Realm, only the rather gimmicky Three Elements Star Returning Pill could be used— the Starlight of the Candou Platform could not be replenished, nor could Star Power be restored on the spot with Dining Dawn Form.

This meant that the total amount of Star Power each person could use was actually capped at an extreme upper limit. It all depended on how it was allocated.

At this moment, less than two hours had passed, and Xu Jin still had half of his Star Power left, along with one Three Elements Star Returning Pill.

Seeing that there was no danger around, Xu Jin swallowed the Three Elements Star Returning Pill, and his inner Star Power quickly increased, recovering to about eighty-five percent.

Along the way, Xu Jin only killed those from the Dining Dawn Realm and Star Casting Realm; he hadn’t encountered any from the Star Refining Realm.

An Alien Race that walked upright like a human but had a two-meter-long tail suddenly shrieked and rushed down from the mountainside, pouncing at Xu Jin.

This was a member of the Eight Desolate Clan.

The Eight Desolate Clan was one of the most common Alien Races in the Galaxy Battlefield of Dachen, with extremely strong Combat Power.

Because they possessed enhanced beast characteristics, their Combat Power tended to be higher than others of the same tier.

Facing the charging member of the Eight Desolate One-tailed Clan, Xu Jin ran the Mingji Star Pattern, and in an instant, he had a clear sense of its Cultivation Level.
