Hence, since Jin Xiang’s team was shortlisted, this meant that there were at least five teams in Heaven Luo Academy’s Elite Junior Class that were shortlisted as well. The results of the other four teams would definitely be better.
Ji Hongbin heaved a sigh of relief, too. He obviously knew what this meant and couldn’t help but laugh, “Jin Xiang’s team is quite lucky, huh. They were almost eliminated. But it seems like this qualifier is really intense, huh! They didn’t last for long but were shortlisted. I’m afraid there were many students who were eliminated within seconds, huh.”
Mu Zhongtian was somewhat speechless. Just how long did Jin Xiang’s team last? Barely a minute, eh?
The names on the screen began moving again, and it was the 81st place to 90th place this time. There weren’t any names from Heaven Luo Academy, but this made the two people smile as it meant that the remaining teams were ranked higher.
Very soon, they saw some familiar names again. The 75th place belonged to the Elite Junior Class, and it was one of those two teams that were at the bottom of the valley — the one with two people left in the team. Then, at the 67th place, they saw the other team’s names.
So far, three groups had been shortlisted, and the teams of Lan Xuanyu and Lu Qianxun had not appeared yet.
“A total of seven teams, and five were shortlisted; at least, we can be accountable. The Elite Junior Class did not waste all those resources!” Mu Zhongtian could finally relax at this moment.
Ji Hongbin said, “Don’t be too happy so soon. We can be happy when someone really enrolls in the Shrek Academy. This is just the qualifier, there are still many selections after this. Following this, the Shrek Academy will only select 10 out of these 100 students from Heaven Luo Planet to proceed to the Mother Planet for the final test into Shrek Academy.”
“En en, but it’s still the first step. It’s really exciting! I wonder what’s the ranking of Lan Xuanyu and Lu Qianxun’s teams, eh? I recall that there will be a material reward for the top three students of the qualifier in every planet, right?”
Ji Hongbin clenched his fist subconsciously, “It is the Lucky Wheel. No one knows what the reward will be and I’ve never seen the Lucky Wheel. Maybe…”
The name list was still rolling, and Lan Xuanyu and Lu Qianxun’s teams hadn’t appeared. Ji Hongbin and Mu Zhongtian got anxious. This meant that both Lan Xuanyu and Lu Qianxun’s teams had entered the top 30 rankings. Right now, they were hoping not to see their names! If they didn’t, then it meant that their ranking was higher.
“Don’t appear, don’t appear!” Mu Zhongtian chanted.
The name list for the 21st to 30th place appeared. Mu Zhongtian quickly glanced through and didn’t see any familiar names. He raised his fist in the air, “Haha, fantastic. Top 20, their teams are in the top 20! This is awesome!”
Ji Hongbin stood up at this moment with both fists on the table, his eyes were glued to the screen.
The top 20 of the qualifier — this was the top 20 of the entire planet; the results were quite good, but he naturally had higher expectations in his heart! He didn’t just want to see them in the top 20.
The name list for the 11th to 20th place appeared.
Their names had not appeared! Still had not.
Mu Zhongtian couldn’t help but jump, and his head hit the ceiling, letting out a “dong” as he laughed heartily, “Top 10, they’re in the top 10! Awesome. Two teams in the top 10. There is hope for the next batch of Elite Junior Class. There is hope in getting into the Shrek Academy!”
These top 100 teams from Heaven Luo Planet would battle in the following test, and the top 10 teams would take part in the test in Shrek Academy. Those in the top 10 of the qualifier would definitely have a higher chance of standing out.
Ji Hongbin pursed his lips. He only wished that he would see a familiar name in the top three.
It was without a doubt that Lan Xuanyu’s team, who lasted for over 10 minutes longer than Lu Qianxun’s team, would have a higher ranking. If Lu Qianxun’s team could enter the top 10, then Lan Xuanyu’s team would have quite a high possibility of getting the top three!
Could it be, could it be?
Finally, the final name list appeared.
9th place, Lu Qianxun, Ye Lingtong, Chang Jianyi; Heaven Luo Academy; Total Score: 531.
“Ninth place, they’re the 9th place. Then, Xuanyu’s team…”
Mu Zhongtian’s gaze went from the bottom to the top, so he spotted the names of Lu Qianxun’s team very quickly. A 9th place was enough to shock him.
Then, his gaze continued moving upwards as he looked for another name, but he still didn’t see it. Yes, that name wasn’t there at all! Where did it go?
Until his gaze landed on the row of names at the top.
Heaven Luo qualifier, champion, Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei, and Liu Feng; Heaven Luo Academy; Total Score: 20,341.
Freeze up! Mu Zhongtian and Ji Hongbin turned to statues in an instant as they stared at the name list speechlessly.
On the screen, the words began to shrink and all 100 names were listed out. The names at the top row had a golden crown representing the champion!
Although they had been looking forward to this, when it was really presented in front of them, Mu Zhongtian and Ji Hongbin were simply in disbelief.
First place, champion! The champion of the qualifier belonged to Heaven Luo Academy; it belonged to the Elite Junior Class!
Mu Zhongtian was tearing up at this scene. He felt that all the effort that he had put in during these three and a half years was worth it.
He never thought that the first place would actually belong to them.
“What… what is with this total score?” Ji Hongbin suddenly asked, dumbstruck.
Mu Zhongtian went blank for a moment, then he wiped his tears and rubbed his eyes.
20,341 points!
What on earth?
Second place, 1,231 points.
This…
In other words, the first place scored about 19,000 points more than the second place. The total points of the rest of those 99 teams couldn’t even match up to Lan Xuanyu’s team.
Yesterday, because Lan Xuanyu looked very tired at that time, Ji Hongbin and Mu Zhongtian did not ask too much about what had happened inside. Moreover, they found out mostly from the other students; survival was the center of the assessment. Lan Xuanyu’s team who survived the longest would naturally yield good results, but this discrepancy was simply too wide, huh?
“Could there be a mistake?” Mu Zhongtian stammered.
Ji Hongbin said firmly, “Impossible. Shrek Academy is so careful, how could they make a mistake like this? This was impossible. Something special must have happened which awarded them with special points. It’s just that this was a little too high…”
This wasn’t just a little high; it was really way too high.
Over 20,000 points — what was the meaning of this? If all the evaluation items for this qualifier were the same, not just in Heaven Luo Planet, Lan Xuanyu’s team probably scored the highest in the Federation as well, huh? Their score was simply too high.
“No way, I’ve got to ask them what exactly did they do!” Mu Zhongtian couldn’t sit still, he simply jumped up and dashed out. Ji Hongbin followed closely behind him.
Very soon, they arrived back at Dorm 333.
Qian Lei and Liu Feng were called outside while they tried to meditate and see if they could enter deep meditation as well.
“What? We’re in the first place? Champion?” Qian Lei stuck out his pointy finger and was shocked.
Champion, the champion of the entire Heaven Luo Planet! Liu Feng was so excited that he trembled.
“The team in the second place only scored over 1,000 points, but your team got 20,000 over points — what exactly did you guys do?” Mu Zhongtian asked urgently.
Qian Lei and Liu Feng looked at one another, then shook their heads at the same time, “We can’t reveal, you’ll have to ask Xuanyu. We already discussed yesterday to not tell anyone what happened in the last part. There are still subsequent tests coming up, we can’t expose ourselves too soon.”
