I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"Look! The leaderboard has changed! The first team to get the boundary flag is actually Nightless's team!"

Inside the stadium.

The audience erupted in excitement when they saw the changes in the leaderboard on the right side of the big screen.

"Holy crap?! How long has it been? Less than an hour? Ye Wuhen actually found the boundary flag and entered Arena 2 ahead of schedule?"

"Ye Wuhen only has 17 points, while his teammates all have over 400 points. It seems he hasn't made a move yet!"

"That's normal. At the beginning, experts hide their strength. After all, they have to grind inside for three days. They also need to reserve some space in their backpacks for food and drink, so they have to reduce their red and blue potions. If they start now, they will fall into an awkward situation of lacking mana and health later."

"Huh?! The second group to enter Arena 2 has appeared! It's Wen Liangyu's team! Holy crap, he's even faster than the other three mythical-level professionals?"

"They're just looking for the boundary flag in a different scene, not competing on monster-killing speed. Their team's overall score is outside the top ten; they must have skipped monster killing to find the boundary flag!"

"The third one to enter Arena 2 has appeared! It's Qin Wushuang! Holy crap! As expected of a gold-tier class, he can manage both the points leaderboard and the scenery, truly amazing!"

"The fourth one is the Sharp Sword team! Holy crap, are they crazy? Did they all go to venue number 2 to have fun?"

"The monsters in the illusionary realm give a huge amount of experience points, so why do they keep changing scenes instead of farming them? Doesn't that make it even harder to farm?"

"You don't know anything! The more times you change scenes, the higher the monster level, the more experience and loot you get, and the more points you'll earn. Going to higher-level scenes early will quickly put you ahead of everyone else!"

Among the audience, a knowledgeable guy explained to others with a smug look on his face, as if he had everything under control, which did attract a lot of attention.

However, the fact that so many teams entered the No. 2 venue right from the start of this year's entrance examination was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Watching the audience's excited discussion, and Xiao Meier's occasional encouragement.

The bigwigs sitting on the highest platform of the stadium couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"This year truly is the most promising year for our Northern Region. With so many top students, we might actually achieve a good ranking in this year's Five Regions Competition."

"That's right, four golden mythical-level beings. In previous years, we wouldn't have even dared to dream of that."

"But the one I think is most promising is Mu Qingcheng."

"Forget about her. Her parents can't control where she goes. It's all up to her. Who knows, she might not even go to university and go out into the world to be a lone wolf."

"Haha, that's quite possible. That child's temper is even stranger than her second sister's. She always has a cold and aloof demeanor. Even her mother is worried that she won't be able to get married."

"What's she worried about? She's the undisputed number one beauty this year. She was the campus belle as soon as she entered university. Plus, with the Mu family involved, the number of suitors who could wear down the threshold of the Mu family."

"The Mu family has produced some outstanding talents this year, winning one gold and one silver medal, and even securing two spots on the dark horse list. That shameless old Mu Chunqiu must have been burning incense somewhere."

"You're just jealous, hahaha!"

Those who can sit here are all city lords, managers, and leaders of major forces and universities.

If Lu Yun were here, he would see a few familiar faces.

For example, Yang Ming, the city lord of Shancheng; Qin Feitian, the head of the promotion department of the Shancheng Professional Hall; Yan Guofei, the city lord of Tai'an City; Zhao Long, the head of the promotion department of Tai'an City; and Chang Bin, the city lord of Mingguang City.

To be honest, it's perfectly reasonable for Yang Ming to be sitting here.

But Yan Guofei and Chang Bin shouldn't have been qualified to sit here.

However, for some reason this year, they received a special invitation, though their seats were rather secluded.

Moreover, they were now extremely uncomfortable, listening to a group of bigwigs who were rarely seen on television chatting and laughing, and they didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

"Old Yan, who exactly invited small fry like us to come here?"

Chang Bin hunched over, speaking cautiously, but Yan Guofei couldn't explain this to him.

"You're asking me? Who should I ask? I doubt even Lord Yang knows..."

"Huh? You're right, I didn't know either."

Yang Ming muttered something expressionlessly, looking at the large screen at eye level with a sense of melancholy.

He did have a guess, but he felt it was unlikely.

But no matter what, their presence means I have someone to talk to.

Otherwise, those big shots wouldn't even look at him, a first-tier city lord from a remote area with no background.

However, at that moment, the audience below suddenly gasped.

The bigwigs instinctively stopped talking and looked at the big screen.

"Is that Mu Qingcheng? She actually went straight into Arena 4?"

Seeing Mu Qingcheng appear on screen with an appearance like a goddess descending from the heavens, even the bigwigs were a little stunned.

"This girl, she quietly took the top spot on the leaderboard, and now she's gone straight to Arena 4? Is she planning to crush everyone else?"

"I have to say, the elemental mage is incredibly fast at clearing monsters. Her skills are like cheat codes, dealing massive damage and looking amazing."

"After all, she has a 300% damage bonus. Any skill she uses will deal three times the damage. And this is only at the first job advancement. Once she advances to a higher job level, she will be even more invincible."

"Wow? What luck! You found a boundary flag just five minutes after entering?"

"She went to court number 5! Good heavens! Does she have X-ray vision?"

"Wait a minute? Ye Wuhen and Wen Liangyu went to venue number 5 too?!"

"And that girl Qin Wushuang and that kid Li Jian!"

Seeing them sprint together and step into field number 5 one after the other, not only the audience but even these big shots got excited.

"Good lad! I didn't expect that although the Wen family's children aren't in top-tier professions, their luck is truly phenomenal! Haha!"

"Hey Wen! What kind of incredible luck did you get, you old bastard?"

"Haha, our Liangyu is just a little lucky, but he can't compare to that kid from your Li family."

"Great! So many good kids! Looks like we're going to break records this year! Haha, the Northern Region is about to take off!"

"Wait a minute? Xu Qingmeng? Whose child is that? Why is she leading a team into field number 5?"

I heard someone say that.

Everyone instinctively looked at the big screen.

really.

On the right-hand leaderboard, below Mu Qingcheng and others who had switched to game number 5, Xu Qingmeng's name appeared.

The group of bigwigs were all a bit stunned when they saw this.

"What's going on? How did she manage to overtake everyone and get onto court number 5?"

"Oh, she's a silver professional, ranked 10th on the dark horse list, so it's not surprising that she can play in 5 good games."

"Wait a minute? Why are there only two of her teammates? Lu Yun? Li Zi'an? Who are these two?"

"Although three-person teams are allowed this year, all the gold-level professionals are forming five-person teams. How could she be so bold?"

"789 points? Ranked 6th? Wow, higher than Wen Liangyu and the others?"

"Quick! Check her stats! This girl, a silver-ranked character, managed to reach level 39 in a month, only one level below Qin Wushuang—that's already outrageous! And now she's even in Arena 5—that's even more absurd!"

"Yes! Investigate right away! And her two teammates too, wow, three people daring to team up, could they be silver-level players as well?"

Seeing the big shots discussing with stunned expressions, Yang Ming, Yan Guofei, and Chang Bin, who were sitting in the corner, were already dumbfounded.

They truly hadn't expected it; they were absolutely certain they hadn't misread it. Lu Yun had actually brought Li Zian and Xu Qingmeng to participate in the entrance exam!

When they first saw it on the big screen, they thought they were seeing things.

However, no one noticed.

Sitting in the center, a sprightly old man with gray hair slowly curled the corners of his mouth after seeing the name of Xu Qingmeng's team.

In his eyes, there was only satisfaction.
