1673 Do You Like Peaches?
At the edge of the Sword Storm Plain.
“Why were there so many people?”
Wang Teng saw the crowd beside Yue Qiqiao after he walked out of the rain. He was stunned.
“Everyone is waiting for you.” Yue Qiqiao sized up Wang Teng curiously. She wanted to see if Wang Teng was a human. If not, how could he be so talented?
“Your gaze is weird.” Wang Teng was puzzled.
“Your Sword Storm ranking is out,” Yue Qiqiao said seriously.
“Huh?” Wang Teng was surprised. Judging by their expressions, his ranking was not low. He couldn’t be bothered to check and asked directly, “What position am I in?”
“Wang Teng, you’re ranked 99999th on the Sword and Storm Ranking. The academy even rewarded you with 30,000 points. It’s already announced.”
Before Yue Qiqiao could reply, Round Ball’s voice appeared in his mind.
“An announcement?” Wang Teng was stunned. He felt a slight vibration from his smartwatch just now but he had Round Ball and it didn’t alert him so he didn’t pay much attention to it.
“99,999! You broke the record!” Yue Qiqiao exclaimed.
“99,999? That’s not high at all. How did I break a record?” Wang Teng was taken aback once again, and his surprise became even more evident on his face. “Moreover, they’re rewarding me with 30,000 points. How did this happen?”
Everyone: …
Yue Qiqiao: …
How is 99,999 not high?
How high do you want to be?
Why do I feel that he’s boasting again?
“In the past, the highest ranking for freshmen was 100,000!” Miao Tao explained.
“100,000? That’s only a difference of one place. It’s nothing,” Wang Teng responded.
“No, you don’t understand,” Miao Tao shook his head. “The difference between being ranked 100,000th and 99,999th is vast. If you can’t enter the top 99,999, you can’t.”Miao Tao shook her head.
Wang Teng nodded in deep thought. He turned to Yue Qiqiao and asked, “What’s your rank?”
“127,600! I’m far behind you,” Yue Qiqiao said.
“Junior Sister Yue, your ranking isn’t low either. You have surpassed 80% of the freshmen,” a young man said.
Wang Teng glanced at the person who spoke and then looked at Yue Qiqiao. He understood something and a hint of amusement curved up at the corners of his mouth.
Yue Qiqiao saw Wang Teng’s expression and knew that he was thinking about something strange. She rolled her eyes uncontrollably.
“Even this senior said that you can surpass 80% of the freshmen. It looks like your swordsmanship is not bad,” Wang Teng praised.
“It doesn’t sound right to me,” Yue Qiqiao said.
“You’re judging me unfairly,” Wang Teng replied.
Yue Qiqiao was speechless.
“I’m quite envious that the academy rewarded you with 30,000 points,” Miao Tao said. “When we first arrived at the academy, we had to complete numerous tasks just to earn a few points. It’s still fresh in my memories.”
“Indeed, it’s not easy to earn points in the academy, which is why many people try to improve their rankings on various leaderboards. Unfortunately, only a small number of them manage to break records,” the young man said with a sigh, seemingly reminded of his own painful experiences from the past.
For a moment, everyone looked at Wang Teng with jealousy.
Yue Qiqiao was no exception. She knew that Wang Teng had previously been rewarded with 30,000 points, and now he received another 30,000, totaling 60,000 points. This amount was already several times more than what most new students had.
This was the best interpretation of winning at the starting line.
“I was just lucky. I didn’t expect to break the record,” Wang Teng shook his head and replied calmly.
This was the truth. The Five-element Sword Domain was just a domain that had evolved from the Golden Lightning Sword Domain. He had also created the five-element fist before so he was familiar with the merging of Forces. In the end, it’s just a matter of course, nothing extraordinary.
The record was broken accidentally.
He couldn’t believe it himself.
Wasn’t the Sword Storm Ranking a little too easy to break?
Fortunately, he didn’t say it out loud. If not, Miao Tao and the others might think he’s boasting.
For now, they thought that Wang Teng was being humble so they didn’t say anything.
“How do I address you?” Wang Teng looked at the female martial artist who had previously warned him and realized that he didn’t know her name yet.
“Miao Tao!” Miao Tao smiled and replied.
“Good name,” Wang Teng praised.
“What’s good about it?” Miao Tao asked.
“Erm… peaches are delicious!” Wang Teng raised his eyebrows and said.
Miao Tao: …
Yue Qiqiao: …
Everyone: …
