All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Upon entering the battlefield where the protagonists of the heavens compete, Wang Zhifan's first impression was of emptiness, and his second impression was of a sense of familiarity.

He glanced at the rules for the competition for the gold and jade tokens and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Within three days, you will receive corresponding Wind and Cloud Token points for each opponent you kill or force to surrender and leave the battlefield. The more points you have, the higher the reward... If you have more points than all the others combined, you can upgrade to a Gold Jade Token... This requirement is indeed a bit difficult. Just becoming number one is far from enough. But the more I look at this place, the more similar it seems to be to the World Battlefield?"

Unleashing his senses, Wang Zhifan discovered that this so-called Heavenly Protagonist Battlefield was very similar to the World Battlefield he had visited not long ago. It was also vast in area, contained various terrains, and dispersed the participants into small teams that fought independently.

All of this gave him an idea: that the extraordinary game was testing something here, and perhaps soon the people here would enter a wider battlefield to face a more diverse range of enemies.

"The otherworldly players on the world battlefield might have been cultivated by the extraordinary game in this way. It first uses a method that is easy for people in this world to understand to form the prototype of the extraordinary game, and then it evolves and changes step by step, dragging them into the abyss of endless battles... It's absolutely wicked."

Although he thought this way, Wang Zhifan did not intend to show too much personal pity. He came here for only one purpose: to obtain the unique Golden Jade Token and see what other special use this thing could have besides being proof of becoming the Lord of the Shattered Heaven.

From the perspective of the battlefield rules, obtaining this gold medal is extremely difficult. Becoming the number one ranked player is only a basic requirement. More importantly, one must have a significant lead in points, meaning that one person has more points than all the others combined.

But for Wang Zhifan, there is another level of difficulty: he cannot gradually accumulate battlefield points to become the strongest, because when he reaches the top 100, the game will determine that he has cleared the dungeon and forcibly pull him out of the dungeon, so he has no chance to gradually improve to the top.

Even if he forces his way back after being removed from the instance, it won't matter. The game will remove him from the leaderboard, and all his achievements will be in vain.

Therefore, his only chance, as planned, is to jump from outside the top 100 to first place, and to become a top-ranked player with a significant lead, in order to rightfully obtain the gold medal.

Reaching out to pick up the wooden plaque at his waist, Wang Zhifan glanced at the words ranked over 100 million. He felt that this mission was a bit difficult, but it wasn't entirely hopeless for him.

"Perhaps I should instantly kill everyone on this battlefield? If I wipe them all out, my score will be far ahead of the leader, and the gold and jade tokens will be mys... But will doing so cause some kind of bug? Will the game punish me for sabotage or something? Most importantly, will it renege on its promise?"

Recalling his previous experience of farming mythical points by killing gods and demons, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but have such suspicions: if he performed too well in a certain extraordinary game's reward mechanism, the extraordinary game might forcibly ban his account.

Therefore, having learned from past lessons, he felt that he had to keep a low profile and not go too far when doing this kind of thing, and give the extraordinary game the feeling that he was still within the normal range, which meant suppressing his own expressiveness.

Having finalized his strategy, Wang Zhifan hung the wooden plaque back on his belt and began his scoring spree on the battlefield of the protagonist.

He used his incredibly powerful senses to pinpoint the location of a battle and sped off towards it.

Before long, he approached an island in the sea and saw six people fighting in the air above the island.

The six people were clearly divided into two sides. Two giants, each at least thirty feet tall, formed one side, while the other four, though of different appearances, were all the size of normal humans.

The side with the numerical advantage is currently beating up the two giants. Although all of them combined are not even as big as a giant's hand, their individual combat strength is not much less than that of the giants. With twice the number of giants, it is almost a crushing defeat.

As Wang Zhifan approached from a distance, he heard one of the four men, a man in a long robe holding a sharp sword and with a prominent forehead, shout from high above:

"You two, surrender at once! Otherwise, don't blame us, the Four Heroes of the Demon Realm, for not warning you if you perish here!"

However, the two giants, who were being attacked by four demons, remained unmoved. One of the giants raised his arm to defend himself while loudly replying:
"Don't even think about it! Don't think we don't know that the sooner you surrender, the more points you'll get! We, the Giant Twin Overlords, will not leave the battlefield easily! The smart ones should hurry up and find someone else, don't waste your time here!"

As soon as the giant finished speaking, the man who had just threatened them to surrender immediately suddenly revealed a fierce glint in his eyes, as if his scheming had been exposed. He slashed down with his long sword from a distance, cleaving the island below them and the surrounding seawater in two.

Wang Zhifan had now reached a distance of about 100 miles from the six people. He stopped above the sea to observe the battle situation and assess the enemy's approximate combat strength, which would facilitate the implementation of his next phase of action plan.

"Judging from the level of that person's sword strike just now, his strength is probably at the level of ordinary extraordinary cultivators in the Calamity Realm. It's not surprising that someone who ranks in the top 10,000 among the billion strong has such strength, and it can even be considered a bit weak... Let's take a look at their rankings first."

Reaching out from a distance of a hundred miles, Wang Zhifan snatched all the Wind and Cloud Ranking tokens from the six top experts, who were in the midst of a fierce battle and were completely unaware of this.

He then focused his gaze on the six pure white jade Wind and Cloud Tokens in his hand. By reading the rankings on them through the text translation function of the extraordinary game, he confirmed that these six people were all ranked around 5,000th on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, which meant they were not considered weak.

"Six of them are ranked five thousand. Taking them all out shouldn't be a problem. It won't be a problem for us to immediately break into the top 100."

After a brief assessment, Wang Zhifan decided to start with these people, so he immediately soared into the sky and rapidly approached the island.

His ostentatious display was naturally intended to attract the attention of this group, thereby forcing them to retreat without a fight and lower the Extraordinary Games' evaluation of him.

The six men in the midst of the battle quickly spotted the person charging in so conspicuously. The four who had formed a circle immediately became highly alert and shouted loudly at the approaching Wang Zhifan:
"Who goes there! Retreat at once! Otherwise, don't blame the Four Heroes of the Demon Realm for being impolite!"

They clearly saw Wang Zhifan as a villain trying to steal points, and immediately surrounded the two giants even more tightly, fearing that Wang Zhifan would kill them before they could.

The two giants who were surrounded had the exact opposite idea. Sensing someone approaching, they immediately had an idea and shouted:

"Brave warriors, quickly lend us a hand! After we succeed, you can share four great heads with us!" While shouting, they suddenly increased the intensity of their counterattack, causing the encirclement of the four, who were somewhat distracted, to begin to loosen.

However, Wang Zhifan's purpose in coming here was not to help either side. He quickly stopped a hundred meters away from the six people, holding six white jade wind and cloud tokens in his hand, swaying them slightly in the air, and coldly said to them:
"You six, stop wasting your breath! Look where your Wind and Cloud Tokens are! If you know what's good for you, surrender and leave now! Otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!"

Upon hearing this, all six people, including the two giants surrounded, were taken aback. Then, one of the four, a hairy-faced, monkey-faced fellow, suddenly revealed a mockingly angry smile and replied:
"You mean... you want to be an enemy of all six of us?! One person against the Four Heroes of the Demon Realm and the Twin Giant Spirits?!"

"That's right, you should all surrender now! My patience is running out!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhifan revealed a mysterious and arrogant expression, fiddling with the six white jade tokens in his right hand, which made a crisp sound.

This clear and arrogant answer did not cause the six people in front of him to rush at him in anger. Instead, many remained silent, while one of them calmly led the way and said to him:
"Your ability to take our jade tokens without anyone noticing is indeed formidable... But you seem rather reserved, unlike someone in the top 100 of the Wind and Cloud Ranking... How about this, if you reveal your ranking, we will naturally know your prowess, and even if we have to withdraw from the battlefield, we will have an explanation to the outside world."

This person meant that if Wang Zhifan wanted them to surrender collectively, he would have to demonstrate a sufficiently high ranking on the popularity charts, such as being in the top 100. Only with such a huge difference in strength would they be willing to admit defeat on the spot, so as not to be slaughtered by top experts.

It is evident that even at the highest level of the Wind and Cloud Ranking, among the top 10,000 White Jade Token masters, there are tiers. The top 100 White Jade Token masters can look down on everyone else, and it is not considered shameful for others to surrender and admit defeat on the spot when facing them.

However, Wang Zhifan was unlucky enough to be not in the top 100, or even in the top 10,000 for battlefield entry qualifications. He was still ranked over 100 million and was holding the lowest-level wooden plaque.

"Oh my god, are we really going to take out the wooden sign and show it to them? Won't that make them question the meaning of life?"

For a moment, Wang Zhifan was slightly speechless, but seeing the six people staring at him, he didn't bother to argue anymore. In any case, his strength was definitely superior to theirs. With an unfathomable and arrogant expression, he took his wooden plaque off his belt and showed it to the six people in front of him.

The six men had actually noticed the little thing before he picked up the wooden plaque, but they subconsciously assumed it was something else, since the person holding the wooden plaque was far from qualified to enter the battlefield.

But when they saw Wang Zhifan display the ranking of over 100 million on the wooden sign, still maintaining that arrogant and supreme master demeanor, the six of them instantly broke down and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! A wooden sign! He actually pulled out a wooden sign! I'm dying of laughter!"

"Heh! How did over a hundred million worthless trash even get into the battlefield?! I've truly seen it all today! I've really seen it all! Heh heh..."

"Bah! You dare to extort us with just a wooden sign! Today is your death day! You worthless piece of trash!"

"Let's all work together to kill him! Although this person is just a wooden sign, there must be something strange about him being able to enter the battlefield. We can't be too careless!"

……

In an instant, the six people who had been relentlessly mocking Wang Zhifan united and launched a siege against him, each one fierce yet concealing a deep-seated caution.

There was no way around it; the scene before them was simply too shocking. They never dreamed that they, as masters of the White Jade Token, would be threatened into surrendering by a wooden token, let alone that a wooden token could threaten six White Jade Tokens at the same time. It was utterly ridiculous.

Following the sense of absurdity and ridiculousness was extreme humiliation. These experts could not tolerate the provocation from what they considered the absolute weak, and they wanted to retaliate on the spot.

As experts in the White Jade Token, they weren't mindless fools who acted impulsively. Seeing Wang Zhifan enter the highest-level battlefield with the lowest-grade wooden token, they naturally suspected something was amiss. That's why the six of them joined forces to attack Wang Zhifan, ensuring their revenge was almost certain.

In short, seeing that Wang Zhifan couldn't produce a white jade tablet from the top 100, they subconsciously assumed that Wang Zhifan didn't have such extraordinary strength. Even if he was using some special means to fake a wooden tablet, it couldn't be that strong, and he would inevitably die quickly under their siege.

Wang Zhifan had also anticipated this outcome. He took out the wooden plaque to see if there would be any unexpected effect. For example, if these people saw that he could enter the battlefield with the wooden plaque, they might think that he had some mysterious identity, and then they might be so shocked that they would collectively surrender and retreat.

Instead of thinking in that direction, they decided to attack him anyway, and he had no choice but to accept reality, thinking to himself:
"I originally wanted to give you a way out, but you refused to choose it, so don't blame me for being impolite... A group kill would be too high-profile, so let's make use of this waste and hone my swordsmanship."

Facing the siege of six top-tier White Jade Shield masters, Wang Zhifan felt no pressure whatsoever. He could even stand still and kill them all by simply reflecting damage. Just like on the world battlefield, he chose to use only the most basic sword techniques to defeat them, thereby honing his sword skills to a higher level in his exploration.

Swish!
With a flash, he unleashed his first strike with effortless grace, instantly cleaving the man at the forefront in two.

Swish!
With another slash, he suddenly changed direction and severed the head of a giant behind him. The giant's head remained in a ferocious and excited expression as it flew away from his neck, completely unaware that he had already died.

Swish swish!

Next came four swift, accelerated strikes, aimed at four different targets in four different directions. The sharp, clear blade light appeared perfectly synchronized, seemingly killing all four instantly.

"Still doesn't seem to have any inspiration."

After easily eliminating all six people in an instant, Wang Zhifan sighed with a slight regret. (End of Chapter)
