In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

The most excited person in the office was none other than Chen Yong.

Holding his phone, he went around telling other people about Li Yuan's current ranking on the leaderboard.

Perhaps seeing that he was being too ostentatious, Director Ma couldn't help but stand up and remind him.

"Your actions are simply bringing trouble to Li Yuan."

I used to like Li Yuanting, but your actions have annoyed me.

After being told off by Director Ma, Chen Yong finally became a little more obedient.

"The Qingwu Tournament is still ongoing, and ranking high temporarily doesn't mean anything."

We both know that the opponents in this year's Youth Martial Arts Tournament are very strong.

"We're happy now, but what if the final results aren't good?"

Director Ma really hopes that Li Yuan can get good results.

But his inner reason told him that this was unlikely.

Besides Jin Fan, there are also top geniuses among the martial artists arranged by other cities.

Making it into the top 30 is really quite an achievement.

Lingshan No.1 Middle School is still noisy at this moment. Adults can calm down, but students are not so easy to calm down.

The students in Class 9 and Class 14, in particular, seemed to have found an outlet for their emotions.

He took Li Yuan's current ranking and went around telling everyone about it.

The students in both classes, having been ridiculed too much before, now want to get their revenge.

Students from other classes wouldn't just put up with it.

Everyone says this is a temporary achievement, a stroke of luck.

The real results will be seen at the end of the Qingwu Tournament.

......

In the desolate mountains and forests, Li Yuan continued his search for traces of ferocious beasts.

Based on their acquired experience, they are better than most contestants at finding ferocious beasts.

Right now, Li Yuan isn't looking for a ferocious beast, but rather a family group.

Rock-skinned hyenas are typically solitary animals.

However, some hunt together in "family groups".

A family group usually consists of three or four birds.

The Rockskin Hyena is a Class C ferocious beast.

A single Rockskin Hyena is at the bottom of the C-rank ferocious beasts in terms of strength.

However, once they form family groups and begin to cooperate with each other, the difficulty of dealing with them increases dramatically.

Martial artists participating in the Qingwu Tournament should be rational and avoid these kinds of ferocious beasts.

The goal of the Qingwu Tournament is to score as many points as possible.

Killing a few rockhounds seems to earn you several tens of points, which is pretty good.

However, it is easy to get injured in this process.

What will happen in the second half of the Qingwu tournament after the injury?

Furthermore, killing these rock-skinned hyenas is not something that can be accomplished simply by wishing for it.

What if it fails?

A Class C ferocious beast can be several times more aggressive than a Class D ferocious beast.

If I don't kill them, I might lose my life here.

Even if a distress signal is sent, it will still take time for rescuers to arrive.

But what others need to fear is not a big problem for Li Yuan.

Based on my experience, I could even ambush this group of rock-skinned hyenas.

Killing one first gives you an immediate advantage.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan had found his target.

Just as I guessed, there were three ferocious beasts in total, a typical family pack of hyenas.

Li Yuan lay in ambush nearby, and suddenly thrust out his long sword.

These ferocious beasts did not notice Li Yuan; their carefree behavior exposed all their weaknesses.

The sneak attack severely injured both rock-skinned hyenas.

The last one was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to run away.

The ferocious beast is highly aggressive, especially towards humans, where it is extremely ruthless.

But the last remaining hyena seemed genuinely afraid, and didn't even dare to retaliate with a bite.

Li Yuan used the Cloud Step to quickly catch up with and kill him.

The body movement technique is particularly effective in such a dense forest.

The more proficient you are in mastering body techniques, the more you will feel this.

Possessing superb agility, the complex environment ironically became an obstacle for the ferocious beasts.

After Li Yuan used the Cloud Steps, his movement speed here would probably surpass that of a peak sixth-grade or even seventh-grade martial artist.

Having grasped the core essence of "Stepping on Clouds," you can also enhance your proficiency with the "Quick Mastery of Martial Arts Techniques" skill.

Physical skill refers to the ability to perform actions that others cannot.

Three C-level ferocious beasts, a full thirty minutes.

Martial artists participating in the Qingwu Tournament are not allowed to bring mobile phones or other communication devices.

It's not that I'm afraid the participants will see the rankings, it's just that I don't want to give them the opportunity to interact with each other.

Li Yuan is currently unaware of his ranking.

But on the second day of the Qingwu Tournament, he had already scored more than fifty points.

It can't be that bad, right?

The competition area actually feels quite large.

A town that can easily accommodate hundreds of thousands of people without feeling crowded.

Finding ferocious beasts in such a large area is not easy.

Li Yuan did not encounter any other contestants during that day.

Given the size of the area, this is even more normal.

The Qingwu Tournament lasts for three days and four nights, and only one day and one night have passed so far, so there is still time.

We need to work harder; even if we're not after the individual competition prizes, we still need to prove ourselves.

To be honest, Li Yuan's motivation was more about helping Director Zeng.

He sacrificed a lot to help me.

And even after seeing their hopes dashed, they are still willing to support themselves.

The act of presenting the banner was truly bullying.

Not for myself, but for Director Zeng's future, I'll give it my all!

With this in mind, Li Yuan continued searching for traces of the ferocious beast, striving to earn as many points as possible.

At the same time, the real-time leaderboard also changed.

Li Yuan scored thirty points in one go, and his ranking rose directly to second place!

Reporters also noticed this change in the open area on the outskirts.

Start writing some eye-catching articles right away.

For these reporters, it doesn't matter whether it will bring negative publicity to Li Yuan.

Right now, everyone's been hyping up Li Yuan like crazy, calling him the bravest "dark horse" of the year!

Let's spread these rumors first.

Li Yuan's final results were poor, and it was Li Yuan who was embarrassed, not the reporters.

They just need to make money from the traffic.

Not long after, a reporter went to the place where the people in Lingshan City were resting.

We're going to interview Deputy Director Zeng Chang.

Director Zeng declined the interview.

After the reporter left, Director Zeng turned around and stared at the rankings on the big screen.

"Director Zeng, Li Yuan from your education department managed to snag second place."

"Impressive! Much better than our performance in other rounds."

Beside him, the accompanying staff from the Water Resources Bureau said with a smile.

The words were praising Li Yuan, but the tone was full of teasing.

"Look at Jin Fan, he's still stuck in the twenties."

Lingshan City made the right choice in selecting Li Yuan.

Someone chimed in, still using praise and joking.

Upon hearing this, some people around seemed not to have caught the sarcasm in the remark and retorted quite seriously.

"The Qingwu Tournament lasted three days and four nights. The number of points earned on the first day was mostly due to luck. I don't know what they were so proud of."

Furthermore, slaying ferocious beasts is very physically and mentally taxing, and there is even a possibility of injury.

Jin Fan and his team strictly controlled their consumption.

"They'll continue to exert themselves tomorrow and the day after. With Li Yuan expending so much energy like this, how much strength does he have left?"
