Chapter 115: Chapter 115: First in Points, Shocking the Sovereign City

The Underworld Realm was a testing realm, and it was normally open for seven days.

But now, it was only the fourth day, and the realm was shut down suddenly. No one could get in. That was clearly beyond their control.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “The realm is closed, and we can’t check inside. But from what the students said, at the last moment, the realm had a crack. A terrifying strong person appeared. The closing of the realm seemed to be to protect the students.”

“Cracking space?”

“That’s probably a god-level strength method, right?”

“No, some strong people with space talent can also do it.”

The people below gasped. Everything that happened in the realm had clearly gone beyond their control.

“To protect the students?” James frowned. He didn’t think that was true.

The creation of the realm had many factors. Most were broken worlds. There had never been a case where it closed just to protect humans.

Something must have happened inside the realm.

But the sudden closing of the realm, with an unknown terrifying presence inside, was actually a good thing.

James looked at everyone and asked again, “What about the student casualties? When will the points be counted?”

The middle-aged man looked serious and said, “From the reports below, the casualties are roughly over thirty thousand.”

Hiss…

Many people gasped. Thirty thousand dead. That number was terrifying.

In past College Entrance Exam realms, a thousand deaths were already a lot. This time, over thirty thousand was unexpected.

This realm test would definitely cause a big stir when it ended.

James stayed silent. He hadn’t expected such a huge loss.

But it was good the realm closed early. Otherwise, more students would have died.

The middle-aged man continued, “As for the points, we are still counting. I don’t think there will be any student with impressive results. Let alone finishing the final test.”

The people sighed softly and fell silent again.

Knock knock…

Suddenly, the door of the meeting room was knocked on.

The people frowned in annoyance. This emergency meeting was not to be disturbed, unless it was something urgent.

“Come in,” James said coldly.

The door opened, and a young man walked in. He looked nervous and bowed respectfully before speaking. “All the high officials, I’m in charge of counting the points. The top one hundred have been counted. The first place has a score that’s way too high. I think I should report it to you all.”

“Oh?” James showed interest and said, “Show me the top scores.”

The man immediately handed over the documents in his hands.

James flipped through them, and his dull eyes flashed with sharp light.

First Place: George; Level 50; Class: SS Tier Frost Mage, R Tier Keeper; Aurion City independent examinee; Points: 185,300.

“180,000 points?!”

James checked again, surprised. “Did the points count get wrong?”

“No,” the young man nodded firmly. “We have checked many times. According to the kill logs, this student named George killed three Underworld city bosses. And finally, he killed the final boss, the black dragon Asos.”

“Someone killed the Black Dragon Asos?” A wave of gasps spread from below.

They had checked the Underworld Realm. Even though they couldn’t enter it, they had guessed that the final boss, the Black Dragon Asos, was at least level 50 and at least an SSR-tier stage.

A student killing such a terrifying strong one? That was too unbelievable.

“Was the Blazing Angel killed too?” Someone asked eagerly.

The Underworld had two final bosses: the Black Dragon Asos and the imprisoned Blazing Angel.

From their investigation, the Blazing Angel wasn’t as strong as Asos. If someone killed Asos, they should be able to kill the Blazing Angel too.

After all, the Blazing Angel had once been a god. Killing her had a high chance of dropping a god shard — the key to becoming a god, and the biggest reward of the realm test.

James looked at the paper in his hands and shook his head in disappointment. “No, only 180,000 points. If he had killed the Blazing Angel, the points would be over 200,000.”

Killing the Black Dragon Asos in the Underworld Realm gave 100,000 points. Killing the Blazing Angel gave the same.

George only had 180,000 points, so he clearly hadn’t killed the Blazing Angel.

“Did he not find her, or did someone else kill her?” Someone asked in confusion.

James shook his head again. “The students after the first place only had a few thousand points.”

He was drawn to the second-place student’s information.

Second Place: Lily; Level 37; Class: SSR-tier Dragonkin Priestess, Aurion City Vespera Academy, Points: 17,420.

She was also from Aurion City.

As for the rest of the rankings, James was familiar with them. Most of them were top talents from the Sovereign City families. He wasn’t surprised.

But a small city like Aurion City had two top students? That was unusual.

“This ranking is interesting. Take a look,” James said, passing the paper around for everyone to see.

The big meeting room was full of gasps.

“The first place is a dual-class student. But is his class stage too low? Can an SS-tier Frost Mage have that kind of power?”

“The class stage is fine. What surprised me most was his level. He’s already level 50.”

“A free examinee — probably about 30 years old. But reaching level 50 before 30 is still amazing.”

“The top two are both from Aurion City. Does anyone know where that is?”

Aurion City was a small town, not famous at all. Not many people knew about it.

The middle-aged man suddenly remembered something and said, “I’ve heard of that place. Liam went there to distribute the College Entrance Exam realm passes.”

He was Liam’s father, the deputy commander of the White Tiger Legion, Thorne.

“Is Liam in Aurion City too?” someone asked in surprise.

Thorne nodded. Liam had gone to Aurion City to hand out realm passes and never came back. He stayed there.

“Thorne, do you know something? Your son ranked third in this test, beating Emily and Noah.” someone asked, confused.

Emily and Noah were famous talents from the Sovereign City, both with SSR-tier classes.

Liam’s class was only SS-tier Titan Guardian. His points shouldn’t have been higher than theirs.

“I really don’t know,” Thorne shrugged. “If that kid hadn’t insisted on going to Aurion City, I wouldn’t even have paid attention to that small town.”

“R tier Keeper?” An old man frowned. “What kind of class is that? Why is the stage so low?”

The others were also interested in George’s class. They all shook their heads.

They had heard of the SS-tier Frost Mage, but this R-tier Keeper was a class they had never heard of before.

“Keeper? What if this guy actually tamed the Blazing Angel?” The old man said, and the whole meeting room went quiet.

Taming a god-level strong one was shocking, but not impossible.

According to their guess, the Blazing Angel was restrained and her power was greatly weakened. If someone killed the Black Dragon Asos, they couldn’t have missed the restrained Blazing Angel.

This was actually possible.

James frowned. He thought of something else.

Keeper? The Oathweaver?

James suddenly stood up, and the people in the room were shocked.

He looked serious and said, “Thorne, go to Aurion City yourself. Bring this George into the Obsidian Academy. And that Lily too.”

James guessed that George and Lily were probably close.

Otherwise, in such a small town like Aurion City, even an SSR-tier student couldn’t get such a high score.

James continued, “Go right now. If the kid hesitates, tell him we have secrets about his class.”

“Yes!”

Thorne saw how serious James was and didn’t ask too many questions. He bowed and left.

“Also,”

James looked at the young man beside him and said, “Get the points counted as soon as possible. The dead students should be treated like fallen soldiers.”

“Yes.” The young man answered and bowed before leaving.

James gave a few more instructions about the recruitment and ended the meeting.

…

Aurion City. Two days had passed without anyone noticing.

George had mostly recovered from his injuries and could move normally. He stretched his body and muttered, “I closed the Underworld Realm early, so the College Entrance Exam should also have ended early. I wonder what’s going on up there.”

He looked at his points — 180,000. Without a doubt, he was first. He thought, even if his class was only SS-tier, he should still get into the Obsidian Academy.

“Let me go out and get rid of these materials.” George had been staying in the villa since returning to the real world.

He still had a lot of materials and weapons in his bag, and their stages weren’t low.

In the villa courtyard, besides Constantine and Lilia, the others were still in recovery.

Their injuries were worse than George’s.

“Lord, are you going out?” Constantine asked curiously. He had been bored in the villa for two days.

George knew what he was thinking and nodded. “Stay here for now. Wait until Elise and the others recover, then go back to the Abyss Realm.”

“Okay.” Constantine was disappointed, then thought of something. “Lord, your injuries aren’t fully healed. I should stay by your side to protect you.”

“No.”

George glared at him. There was no danger in Aurion City. Even if there was, his power was enough to protect himself.

If Constantine followed him, it would cause a big stir.

“Master, I want to go out with you. I can also protect you,” Lilia said excitedly from beside him.
