Just how crazy talented do you have to be in order to leap straight up to first place on the very last day of the tournament?

The thing was, despite Nozawa being originally in the first place, his energy points were roughly half of what Lisa had as of now. Not only did this girl surpass him by such a significant margin, her points were still rising up at a consistent rate.

Just how many mythical beasts had she slain in the past day? No doubt, it was downright genocide for those monsters in Bahuang Forest.

Countless international representatives held their breath as they watched the digit on the screen rise. Then, they simultaneously shifted their gaze over to Jungkook, who was standing not far away from the scoreboard. His ink-dark eyes were glued onto the scoreboard, ignoring everything that was happening around him.

Some of these men started whispering to each other upon seeing that look in Jungkook’s eyes.

“The ancient martial arts world has produced yet another batch of prodigies. This year’s selection competition is indeed exciting. I would venture to say that it is on par with the one held during your time.”

“Congratulations, Young Master Jeon.” The representative for the Japanese was noticeably frustrated when he said that.

Here he was, thinking that the first place was firmly in Nozawa’s grip. How could he have ever possibly foreseen that Lisa would swoop in for the kill at the very last day? He had no idea who she was after all. He looked at her name on the scoreboard. The digits indicating the energy points she had accrued was still changing. The only thing that remained constant was her position at the very top of the board.

In the previous competition, Jungkook outshone every other participant.

Seems like Lisa was picking up where had he left off. It was nothing but pure bad luck for the other talents to be born into the same generation as these two prodigies.

The final scoreboard update had just been released.

Nozawa remained in second place, but what was most surprising was that out of the remaining eight participants in top ten, five were from China!

Expanding the list to top twenty, there were eight participants who were from China!

This was arguably the best their nation had ever achieved in this tournament. The international representatives were all in a state of disbelief, especially the one from Japan. The impact Lisa had made on him was already more than what he had prepared for but the fact that the remaining two Japanese participants were thrown aside by these ten Chinese participants dealt the final blow against his morale.

Apart from Nozawa, the fact that two of his countrymen managed to make it in the top 100 list was already something worth celebrating. Too bad they were denied of that chance by these dreaded participants!

“I don’t buy it! They must be cheating in some way!” The representative of Japan shouted.

Jungkook glanced at him but he remained silent.

The representative’s expression grew darker by the second. Perhaps he had mistaken Jungkook’s actions as nervously averting his gaze, which explains why he grew increasingly confident.

That’s right. Who on earth could possibly reach the first place over the course of one single day? Despite knowing that the obsidian scoreboard had zero faults, Jungkook was a sketchy character no matter how you looked at it. He could easily alter the rankings with just the snap of his fingers. That man could never be trusted.

The representative started convincing himself that this was the truth. However, he did not expect to receive a slap from one of his countrymen who had been eliminated from the competition.
