Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

At the same time, the number beside Han Lingxue’s name also changed dramatically, settling at two hundred thousand contribution points.

“Han Lingxue truly deserves her reputation as a genius ranked fourth on the New Disciples Ranking. To obtain more than two hundred thousand contribution points is truly remarkable,” someone exclaimed with genuine admiration.

“She is powerful and breathtakingly beautiful. If I could marry a woman like her, I would be willing to lose ten years of my life,” another person said dreamily.

“Tch. Someone like you dares to fantasize about Han Lingxue? You are nothing more than a toad lusting after a swan,” another scoffed mercilessly. “Forget ten years. Even if you gave up a hundred years, you would still be unworthy of such thoughts.”

“Han Lingxue has achieved results like this. I wonder what kind of scores Ye Beichen and the others will produce. They should be even more astonishing than hers, right?”

Seeing the incredible performance of Han Lingxue, who ranked fourth on the unofficial New Disciples Ranking, the crowd could not help but feel their anticipation grow for Ye Beichen and the other top geniuses.

Swish. Swish.

Amid everyone’s expectations, two figures shot out from the spatial black hole that resembled a gateway through space and time.

They were Zhu Ximen and Lu Changsan.

Just as before, the instant the two appeared, the black stone tablet reacted violently. It trembled as golden light surged out, wrapping around their names and driving them straight toward the top of the ranking.

Han Lingxue’s name was forcibly pushed down from first place, its purple gold glow fading into silver as the two names bathed in golden light finally came to a halt.

First place: Zhu Ximen.

Contribution Points: 320,000.

Second place: Lu Changsan.

Contribution Points: 310,000.

Third place: Han Lingxue.

Contribution Points: 220,000.

“As expected.”

After seeing the results of Zhu Ximen and Lu Changsan, the crowd burst into exclamations. Still, the outcome did not shock them too much, as most had already anticipated something like this.

“Damn it.”

Lu Changsan’s expression darkened slightly when he saw that Zhu Ximen, who stood above him, had only one hundred thousand more contribution points than he did.

However, Zhu Ximen’s position at the top did not last for long.

A blazing golden light suddenly erupted from the black stone tablet. Carrying overwhelming momentum, it surged fiercely toward the highest position. Along its path, every name that stood in its way was ruthlessly knocked aside.

Even the names of Han Lingxue, Lu Changsan, and Zhu Ximen were not spared. They were all violently swept away by that domineering golden radiance.

When the golden light finally settled at the top, it slowly dispersed. A single name appeared before everyone’s eyes, glowing with a noble purple gold brilliance.

Ye Beichen.

Contribution Points: 530,000.

“As expected of the expert ranked first on the New Disciples Ranking. Truly terrifying. The contribution points he obtained are actually more than two hundred thousand higher than second place.”

Although many people had already predicted that Ye Beichen would take first place, they still could not help but feel stunned when they saw his final result displayed so clearly.

“Hehe, did I not say so earlier? The first place position was bound to belong to Ye Beichen,” the earlier speaker laughed smugly, as though the victory were his own.

“Ye Beichen is completely abnormal,” Zhu Ximen said with a bitter smile. “He actually has more than two hundred thousand contribution points above mine. I thought I could at least compete with him, but in the end, I was utterly crushed.”

Faced with such an overwhelming gap, Zhu Ximen had no choice but to admit defeat.

“Yes,” Han Lingxue and Lu Changsan echoed, nodding in agreement. The difference in scores was simply too great.

Under the many gazes filled with awe, Ye Beichen slowly lifted his chin, his expression brimming with arrogant confidence.

At that moment, however, another slender figure quietly stepped out from the spatial black hole suspended within the air.

“Hm, there is still someone else?”

“Who could that be?”

“I have never seen him before. He must be some unknown nobody.”

The crowd looked toward the figure, only to find him unfamiliar. Having reached that conclusion, most people quickly lost interest and paid him no further attention.

Swish.

Just as those thoughts spread, the black stone tablet standing at the center of the square suddenly shook violently once more.

In the next instant, a brilliant golden light burst forth. Wrapped within that radiance, a single name surged upward like a peerless divine blade, slicing through every obstacle in its path as it charged toward the top of the ranking with unstoppable force.

Before such overwhelming momentum, even Ye Beichen’s name was unable to resist. It was forcibly swept down from the throne of first place by that blazing golden light.

As the radiant golden light settled at the peak of the ranking, it slowly faded away.

Under countless stunned gazes, a single name emerged, shining with a noble purple gold brilliance that immediately seized everyone’s attention.

First Place: Li Yun

Contribution Points: 1.36 million

“What?”

“Someone actually surpassed Ye Beichen and took first place on the New Disciples Ranking!”

“Who in the world is this Li Yun? Where did this monster come from to achieve one point three six million contribution points?”

“The combined scores of Han Lingxue, Zhu Ximen, Lu Changsan, and Ye Beichen barely compare to this Li Yun. This number is far too terrifying, isn’t it?”

As Li Yun’s name firmly occupied the top position, glowing with that dignified purple gold light, the entire crowd fell silent for a brief moment before erupting into a storm of shocked exclamations.

The noise surged like collapsing mountains and roaring seas, while countless stunned gazes locked onto the slender figure standing in the sky.

That figure was none other than Li Yun.

“Li Yun actually surpassed Ye Beichen to take first place on the New Disciples Ranking.”

“How is this even possible?”

“When we failed the second round of trials and left, half of our contribution points were deducted. If Li Yun still has more than one point three million points now, does that not mean he originally had more than two point six million?”

“My heavens. How did he obtain so many contribution points?”

Expressions of uncontrollable shock appeared on the faces of Zhu Ximen, Lu Changsan, and Han Lingxue as well. To them, this scene felt completely unreal.

When they had left earlier, they all assumed that Li Yun would also have had half of his contribution points deducted by Zhang Lang and the others. None of them could have imagined that not a single one of Li Yun’s contribution points had been taken away.

Of course, Li Yun had no intention of explaining the truth behind his terrifying total. Before leaving, Zhang Lang had clearly instructed him that the details of the second round of trials were a secret and must not be disclosed.

“How can this be? How can Li Yun’s score be so absurdly high? How can it surpass mine by such a margin?”

At the same time, when Ye Beichen saw Li Yun’s astonishing contribution points, the arrogant pride on his face vanished instantly. His expression darkened, turning grim and unsightly, as waves of fierce unwillingness surged through his heart.

Ye Beichen had always held himself in the highest regard, firmly believing that no one of his generation could stand against him. Yet now, his pride was mercilessly crushed by someone he had never truly acknowledged, someone he had never even considered a threat. This brutal reality was something he simply could not accept.

Unfortunately for him, reality was reality, and no amount of denial could change it.

The first place on this year’s New Disciples Ranking did not belong to Ye Beichen.

It belonged to Li Yun.
