Chapter 16 Ranking (Please add to your favorites)

"Red Beauty Asks the Way": When you encounter an opponent or teammate of the opposite sex, your attack speed increases by 35%, and there is a chance to increase your damage by 50%.

Jiang Ye's punching speed is now 1.35 times faster than usual.

He can throw one more punch per second!
It may not seem like much, but in ten seconds that's ten extra punches, and the cumulative damage is considerable.

In just three or four seconds, Jiang Ye had already thrown more than ten punches, like a pile driver.

Each punch was delivered with almost 600 kilograms of force!

"Roar!"

The humanoid phantom's face was dented by the blast, and it let out a roar before disappearing from sight.

"Whoosh!"

It didn't escape; instead, it quickly possessed the shadows of Tao Xiaogang and the others.

The Shadow Clan possesses high intelligence.

It seemed to 'realize' that Jiang Ye was more troublesome, so it decisively chose to deal with the others first.

"Roar!"

The humanoid phantom roared, its voice seemingly capable of disrupting the brain, leaving everyone present stunned and their ears ringing.

"careful!"

Jiang Ye shouted loudly.

He was the first to regain consciousness, cautiously observing his surroundings.

Even the infant Shadow Clan members are far faster than ordinary humans; they can teleport using their shadows and move about mysteriously.

This is one of the reasons why the Shadow Clan is so difficult to deal with.

The moment Jiang Ye finished speaking, the dark phantom reappeared, baring its fangs and claws as it attacked Xia Qing.

"Go to hell!"

Xia Qing was no pushover either; she yelled and slammed her fist hard into the illusory figure.

But the effect of this punch was far inferior to that of Jiang Ye.

Fortunately, Tao Xiaogang and the others quickly caught up, each displaying their skills, and ganged up on the infant body of the Shadow Clan.

Ordinary weapons, swords, spears, and even firearms, are unlikely to cause any real damage to the Shadow Clan.

On the contrary, it is the human fists that can truly threaten the Shadow Clan.

This is because the human body generates a strange 'magnetic field' that can scare away demons and monsters.

The Starry Sky Martial Artists use the energy of the stars to activate this magnetic field, at which point they can use specially made weapons that can inflict greater damage on the Shadow Clan.

As for those who haven't reached the first level of breakthrough, they can only rely on their own fists.

"die!"

Jiang Ye and the others surrounded and attacked the illusory figure.

Despite being only the weakest infant form, it was still incredibly difficult for the five of them working together.

Each time the phantom roared, it made people dizzy and unable to stand steadily.

Fortunately, the roar didn't have much effect on Jiang Ye, so he was able to warn everyone in time.

Otherwise, they would have been seriously injured long ago.

roar~
Another roar.

This time, Jiang Ye didn't have time to remind him.

"Pfft!"

One of them had his arm bitten off, bleeding profusely, and screamed in agony.

"Li Xuan!"

"Are you OK!?"

Tao Xiaogang's expression changed; the intense battle made him almost forget that he was in a virtual world.

"Those damn Shadow Clan members have incredible vitality!"

Their physical strength is limited, but the Shadow Clan seems to have endless energy, and more importantly, they are thick-skinned and tough, making them virtually indestructible.

Keep in mind, this is five against one; it's unimaginable what it would be like for one person to face it alone.

"It's almost gone too!"

Jiang Ye stared at the phantom and shouted, "Attack together and take it down!"

At this moment, the humanoid phantom's figure twisted and contorted, like a melting popsicle, making it difficult to maintain its shape.

This is a sign of weakness!
"Go together!"

Jiang Ye rushed forward first and unleashed a punch with all his might.

In that instant, he had a sudden inspiration and sensed that the power of this punch would be greatly enhanced.

Increases damage by 50%!
"After playing the whole game, has it finally triggered?"

Jiang Ye didn't have time to think and punched the phantom's head hard.

"boom!"

This punch directly caused the phantom to 'separate its plasmonic walls,' and pools of liquid-like shadows splattered out.

However, the phantom still had some energy left, and its figure flickered and disappeared again.

The next moment, the phantom appeared in the shadow behind Li Xuan, clearly intending to perish together with him.

Fortunately, Tao Xiaogang noticed in time and delivered a powerful kick, separating the illusory figure from its head.

"Finally dead."

Tao Xiaogang let out a long sigh of relief.

"The Shadow Clan is too troublesome." Jiang Ye's expression was equally solemn.

Fortunately, this is a virtual world; if it were in the real world, the danger would be far greater.

at this time.

"Whoosh!" From the shadows not far away, three more humanoid phantoms materialized.

Both are 1.5 meters tall, representing the lowest level of infant form.

But this time, there are three!
"The second challenge." Everyone's expression turned serious.

The assessment in the virtual starry sky is similar to a game level.

The first level only has one Shadow Clan member.

The second level has three heads!

The third level has five heads!

The further you go, the more numerous they become.

"Don't let your guard down, try your best to get through the second hurdle!" Jiang Ye said.

"Okay." Tao Xiaogang and the others all centered their attention around Jiang Ye, so they naturally didn't say anything more at this moment.

While Jiangye's team was engaged in a fierce battle.

The other teams were also engaged in fierce battles.

In a virtual space.

Xu Sisi, leading the other four, was engaged in a fierce battle with the three illusory figures in the second level.

At this point, three people in her team were injured, two of whom had lost an arm.

The team's overall strength has been greatly reduced.

Only Xu Sisi maintained her peak combat power, but she couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Hold on!"

Xu Sisi gritted her teeth and said, "You are your parents' only hope. You must get into the 25-school alliance so that your parents can live in a 200-square-meter house in the future!"

You can't fall here.

"If we can't even hold onto second place, how can we talk about first place, or about the 25-school alliance?!"

"kill!"

Driven by unwavering willpower, Xu Sisi unleashed astonishing fighting prowess.

puff!

She punched through the head of a phantom, but at the same time, her left arm was torn apart by the Shadow Clan.

Xu Sisi gritted her teeth and continued to attack her next target.

Another virtual space.

boom!
Li Zhichao killed the third illusory figure, blood dripping continuously from his body.

He was also seriously injured, and his condition was very bad.

But when he looked back, he saw four teammates being pinned to the ground and beaten by a phantom.

Li Zhichao was thinking of going back to provide support.

"Roar!"

A roar rang out, and Li Zhichao immediately covered his ears in pain, feeling a dizzying sensation.

That's the roar of the Shadow Clan, capable of disturbing the mind and making people lose their senses!
Taking him by surprise, a blurry figure flashed by and slapped him across the face.

In the metal hall.

Zhang Jianwu crossed his arms and watched the rankings scrolling across the giant screen.

"That girl Zhao Qingli, she got 700 points? That's unbelievable."

“I remember when she entered high school, she wasn’t among the most talented. But if she can maintain this momentum, she has a good chance of getting into one of the top ten universities next year.”

Anseong No. 3 Middle School is not the best middle school in Anseong.

It's not possible to get even one student into one of the top ten universities every year.

Even Ancheng No. 1 High School, the best high school in Ancheng, produces at most one or two such students each year.

Ancheng is, after all, a small city.

Zhang Jianwu's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked in Jiang Ye's direction again.

"This student does have some potential. There might be a very small chance that he will be admitted to the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance next year. For Miss Chen's sake, let's give him a chance to test himself."

Just as he was pondering this, a young man walked over.

"Director Zhang, are there any students here that interest you?"

The young man asked with a smile.

Zhang Jianwu turned his head and saw that the young man was named Wang Ziang, a student in the honors class.

This student is also currently ranked third in the grade in this final exam.

Wang Ziang glanced at the hall and asked curiously, "I see that these are all students from regular classes."

Zhang Jianwu said with his hands behind his back, "Don't underestimate anyone. Strong seed players have emerged from the regular classes. Last year, there was a student who transferred from the regular class to the key class and made it into the top fifty in the grade in the college entrance examination."

Wang Ziang did not refute, but sighed, "Such people are always in the minority. Most people, including myself, are actually quite mediocre."

He sighed repeatedly, as if he were a complete novice.

Zhang Jianwu glanced at him and cursed, "Stop it. You're only third in the grade. Try to act tough in front of me. Get past those two girls in front of you first."

Wang Ziang was speechless for a moment: "I already said I'm mediocre, why am I pretending?"

Zhang Jianwu snorted coldly but did not respond. How could he not know that this kid was putting on an act all the time?

Now that he's ranked third in his grade, he seems humble, but in reality, he's incredibly arrogant.

At this point, most of the students in Class 9 had completed their assessments.

The top-ranked students have also gradually left the virtual space.

The grade rankings on the giant screen have changed again.
