Chapter 70: Shock! The SSS-Rank Evaluation Appears Again

Chapter 70: Shock! The SSS-Rank Evaluation Appears Again



In the country of Xia, at Zhenwu University, the students gathered on the school grounds. The teachers present heaved a collective sigh of relief upon seeing the majority of the students returning safely.

For these freshmen, the Plunder Spirit Realm was extremely dangerous and known for its high casualty rate. After all, they had to fight monsters while also being cautious of their peers, which made the task quite challenging for these newcomers.

Zhenwu University was renowned for its exceptional students, both in terms of innate abilities and foundational skills. In contrast, students from ordinary superhuman academies might experience a brutal reduction in numbers, with over half failing to return from the Plunder Realm...

"Both of them made it back? That's impressive!"

"Are you an idiot? In the previous Spirit Realm layer, they earned 350 Spirit Energy Points. If they allocated all of them to their attributes, even Zhao Zheng would surpass you in strength, not to mention Song Haitang, the top-ranked freshman. What's surprising about their survival?"

"Your analysis makes sense, brother. I'm not surprised they returned, but I'm certain their performance won't be impressive this time."

"Yeah! The monsters this time were incredibly tough. Their shells were as hard as iron. Our team struggled for ten hours to kill just over forty of them. We narrowly escaped being 'wrapped up' by the monsters several times due to untimely retreats."

"What? Forty-plus? Are you here to show off, classmate?"

"I'm curious, how many monsters do you think they killed this time? Can they surpass a hundred?"

"Haha! If they killed over fifty, I'll live stream myself eating... ten bowls of rice!"

...

The students were abuzz with discussion.

The focus of their chatter was none other than Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang.

Seeing the pair return alive, both Ms. Shen and Teacher Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

After tallying the results, it was found that 183 students had returned.

A staggering 64 students remained forever in the Second Spirit Realm, 11 more than the previous First Spirit Realm.

The path to becoming superhuman was indeed brutal. However, the teachers present considered this outcome satisfactory.

Next was the moment to verify and record everyone's achievements.

"Students who received task rewards, please report to your teachers immediately."

As the announcement ended, several students raised their hands.

Among them, the top performers were Jiang Hebin and his team...

"Jiang Hebin, Chen Kai, Yu Zhong, and Zhou Junjie!"

"Monster kills in this Spirit Realm: 69"

"Overall Evaluation: A-Grade!"

"Overall Ranking: 34th."

"Basic Reward: 147 Spirit Energy Points."

Ms. Shen announced the team's results with a smile.

Although their performance had slightly declined compared to the previous realm, it was still impressive.

The overall ranking referred to their position among all freshmen in the Second Spirit Realm, a global attribute ranking.

To achieve such a ranking in the competition among freshmen from various global academies was a testament to their prowess.

As for why Jiang Hebin's team received an A-Grade for killing over a hundred monsters in the previous realm but maintained the same grade with 69 kills this time, everyone speculated that the Second Spirit Realm monsters were significantly more formidable than those in the First.

"You four did an excellent job!"

The usually stern Ms. Shen rarely praised students, but this time, she couldn't help but compliment the quartet.

The surrounding students immediately looked at the four with envious expressions.

However, upon further reflection, they felt that the team's performance in the Second Spirit Realm was within expectations, given their exceptional innate abilities.

Jiang Hebin and Chen Kai's powers, in particular, had a suppressing effect on the Second Realm monsters.

Chen Kai's steel-hardening ability effectively blocked monster attacks.

Jiang Hebin, despite his Werewolf lineage's limited potential, excelled in the early stages with significant enhancements.

Additionally, Werewolves possessed remarkable self-healing abilities, not quite on par with Sabertooth but still granting Jiang Hebin immunity to a certain degree of physical attacks.

The students' results were quickly tallied.

As of now, the top performers were still Jiang Hebin and his group!

Facing the envious gazes around him, Jiang Hebin wore an air of self-satisfaction.

This guy's personality was just like that.

Arrogant when successful, and incredibly fragile when down on his luck...

Suddenly, Jiang Hebin's gaze shifted towards Song Haitang.

The last time he suggested teaming up with Song Haitang, she had rejected him using the excuse that Zhao Zheng was the team captain.

Now he was curious to know what kind of results Song Haitang had achieved. He had even planned to taunt her a bit to let out some of his frustration.

However, recalling his previous embarrassment, Jiang Hebin managed to hold back.

Soon.

Everyone's results were tallied.

Now, only Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang were left.

In the 6th and 9th grades, they were reading the same book, and not a single mistake was made!

"Haitang, have your results not been announced yet?" Ms. Shen asked.

Song Haitang nodded, "Yes, they haven't been announced yet."

Ms. Shen didn't think much of it.

The results for the top ten Spirit Realms were bound to come out at different times.

After a moment of hesitation, Ms. Shen couldn't help but ask, "Haitang, what do you think about your performance this time compared to the last time?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone around them perked up their ears.

"It's quite a bit worse," Song Haitang replied modestly.

This time, the number of enemies defeated was indeed lower than in the First Spirit Realm.

But.

The rewards might not be the same!

Because the number of enemies defeated last time was actually off the charts, far exceeding the expectations of an SSS-Rank task evaluation.

...

Ms. Shen sighed softly.

She hadn't been very optimistic about Song Haitang's performance in this Spirit Realm.

After all, Zhao Zheng might have a high number of attribute points among the freshmen, but he lacked a decent offensive ability...

Now, hearing Song Haitang admit that her performance was much worse than last time, Ms. Shen felt incredibly disappointed, despite being prepared for it.

This was originally a strong seed that could have set a new record!

All because of a ridiculous love affair that clouded his judgment, leading to such an impulsive decision.

At this moment, Ms. Shen really wanted to ask Song Haitang...

Do you regret it?

However, she stopped herself from saying it out loud.

There were too many people around.

Later, when they were alone, she would find Song Haitang and have a good talk with her. If Song Haitang decided to change now and give up on Zhao Zheng, with the solid foundation she built in the First Spirit Realm, everything could still be salvaged.

As for the other students.

"It's quite a bit worse," Song Haitang admitted.

Many of them immediately showed expressions of "as expected."

"I knew their performance this time would be terrible."

"Haha, useless talent is indeed useless talent. Even with so many Spirit Energy Points, it's still useless."

"I bet Song Haitang is regretting it now, right?"

"Just being able to come back alive is not bad. Next time, if she dares to be so impulsive, she might end up sacrificing herself."

The students whispered among themselves.

Song Haitang's previous performance was too terrifying, and as the most dazzling new star, it was natural for some students to feel jealous.

Now that Song Haitang had finally "hit rock bottom," it was normal for mocking and sarcastic voices to emerge.

Just then.

Everyone's faces changed! Especially the students who had just mocked Song Haitang, their expressions turned to disbelief and terror.

Because that damn announcement had appeared again...

[Announcement! The Supernal Beings "Zhao Zheng" and "Song Haitang" team, in the Second Spirit Realm, defeated 1507 monsters, demonstrating exceptional performance and earning a Perfect Task Evaluation: SSS-Rank!!]
