Chapter 278: End of the Test
Looking at the distant background of Rudy Karl and the others, Chu Nan gently exhaled and relaxed. He immediately felt an intense hunger assaulting him.
Rudy Karl was right. It was not beneficial for either side to continue fighting.
As the battle dragged on, Chu Nan relied on his powerful healing ability to become more and more confident in forcefully dragging Rudy Karl to death. However, the time needed was unpredictable.
Moreover, the two sides had not reached the point of life and death. Rudy Karl clearly would not use his full strength.
If he was forced to that extent, Chu Nan might not be completely confident.
Moreover, in his anger, he could shamelessly shout for his companions to attack together. There was no possibility of Chu Nan fighting five alone. Apart from fleeing, he had no other choice.
Now that he was willing to lower his head and leave with his companions, there was no need for Chu Nan to continue pestering him.
In the end, this was the last half a day of the test, the most important period.
In order to protect the first place that he had obtained with great difficulty, he was willing to lose some reputation and stop his battle with Chu Nan. How could Chu Nan not take advantage of the last half a day to continue working hard to increase his points and strive to increase his ranking?
Seeing that their group had completely disappeared from his vision, Chu Nan skillfully cut open the Storm Killer he had killed and quickly roasted a few pieces of meat. He did not have the time to care about the taste and only stuffed them into his mouth after they were cooked.
As he ate, he opened his personal terminal.
In the current real-time ranking, Rudy Karl was still ranked first. However, because of the delay in his battle with Chu Nan, the difference in points between him and the second place had already decreased from 70 points to a mere 20 points.
It was no wonder that he would rather be seen as admitting defeat than choose to stop. If he continued to fight Chu Nan, not only would he be unable to win, but his precious time would definitely be wasted. If he even lost a little weight because of this, he would probably not be able to maintain his first place. It was really not worth it.
As for Chu Nan himself… he had already fallen to 20th place.
In fact, the battle with Rudy Karl had only lasted for less than 20 minutes before his ranking changed. If it continued, he might not even be able to maintain his top 20 ranking.
What surprised Chu Nan was that Feng Mingxi’s ranking had actually dropped again and became fifth.
Most importantly, his points did not increase at all compared to the last time he saw it!
“Could it be that this guy was suddenly heavily injured…? Chu Nan was a little puzzled. He thought for a moment and shook his head to ignore him before continuing to look at the bottom of the scoreboard.
Soon, he saw Angie Prairie’s name in the 43rd place.
“Heh, it seems that no matter how lazy this fellow is, she still wants the final ranking to look better.”
While he was reading, he discovered that Angie Prairie’s points had suddenly increased by 40 points and her ranking had increased by one. Chu Nan smiled in relief.
After stuffing the last piece of meat into his mouth, Chu Nan wiped his mouth with his hand. When he stood up, his injuries had completely healed and he was filled with energy.
He glanced in the opposite direction where Rudy Karl and the others had left. That was the area that he had agreed to belong to him. Rudy Karl and the others would not interfere.
According to his calculations, there should be many Storm Killers there.
Chu Nan tapped his feet and quickly flew over.
…
Night completely enveloped the entire Continent 3, but almost every place on the continent was not calm. The roars of ferocious beasts and the shouts of humans continuously sounded from all directions. It was even more lively than in the day.
There was less than half an hour until the end of the Star Cloud Academy’s test. All the examinees worked harder in the remaining half an hour.
The points and rankings on the real-time points ranking were changing at every moment. This meant that at the last moment, the competition would become even more intense.
The battle for first place was especially intense.
After Rudy Karl arrived at the top of the list, his points had never been able to fall far behind the second place like Feng Mingxi. The greatest difference was less than 100 points. In the middle, he was even surpassed by someone, but he quickly snatched it back.
After him, the competition for the top few positions was also extremely intense. Everyone’s points were rising alternately, and their rankings were rising and falling frequently.
However, in short, if the top 50 were compared, they would discover that it was basically still the same people from a few days ago. There were not many changes.
In fact, only Chu Nan and Angie Prairie had squeezed into the top 50 in the last two days.
Ever since these two people squeezed into the top 50, they did not continuously rank up and down like the others. Instead, they kept rising like a rocket, and their rankings continuously increased.
Chu Nan was still in the top 100 two days ago. Ever since he squeezed into the top 50, he had been rising. Now, less than half an hour away from the end of the test, he had forcefully squeezed into the top 10 and rushed to the record of ninth position!
As for Angie Prairie, she had been wandering in the top hundred for the past few days and only started to exert her strength on the last day. Although she was not as exaggerated as Chu Nan, she had also quickly risen and was now ranked 27th.
As for the other examinees who were paying attention, most of them were ranked at the same level as them, so there were not many accidents.
The only person who surprised everyone was Feng Mingxi.
Before this test began, it had always been watched by people and was generally regarded as the strongest guy among all the examinees. At the beginning of the test, he was ranked first and was more than 200 points ahead of the second place. In everyone’s opinion, he should definitely be first.
Then, he dropped the ball on the last day. Not only did he fall from the throne of first place, but his points did not even move for most of the day and fell from the first place.
Now that the test was about to end, he had actually fallen to seventh place.
Not to mention returning to first place, it was even a problem for him to protect the top ten at the end of the test.
However, at this moment, no one had the time to care what happened to him.
Less than half an hour before the end of the test, regardless of whether it was the examinees or the people from Star Cloud Academy who were in charge of invigilating, they had all entered the busiest stage. They did not dare to be distracted at all.
Time passed bit by bit, and the anxiety in everyone’s hearts increased bit by bit.
Finally, the countdown on the real-time points ranking skipped the last second. The real-time points ranking flickered and froze.
Chu Nan’s points jumped again before he froze. His points increased by 10 points and just happened to surpass Feng Mingxi, who had been pushed to the eighth place. Then, he became the eighth and pushed Feng Mingxi to the ninth place.
Seeing the scoreboard freeze, Chu Nan exhaled and shook his head in disappointment.
His luck was really bad. If he could encounter more ferocious beasts a few days ago, he actually had a lot of hope of ranking first.
However, it was not bad now. At the very least, he had entered the top ten. No matter how one looked at it, he should be considered to have performed well among the examinees.
Even if he was not as valued as the first place, he believed that he could still enjoy some special treatment after entering Star Cloud Academy.
Chu Nan glanced at Feng Mingxi who was just below him and could not help but smile.
He did not know what this guy was doing on the last day, but he was actually ranked lower than him in the end.
As for the person who ultimately obtained first place, it was not too unexpected. It was Rudy Karl.
This guy was willing to lower his head and admit defeat to save enough time to stabilize his ranking, allowing him to ultimately maintain his first place.
As for Angie Prairie, she was finally ranked 23rd.
Compared to her reputation, this was naturally not high, but it was still acceptable.
As for the examinees who reached the 300th place, Chu Nan could not be bothered to look at them one by one. In any case, he did not know many.
After closing his personal terminal, Chu Nan sat down and looked up at the dark night sky before letting out a long breath.
No matter what, the test was finally over.
