When the group of Awakened heard the instructor’s introductions, all of them were astonished and started discussing.
Previously, they had already encountered all sorts of dangers on levels one and two, and 80% of them had been lost.
Yet now, the instructor was saying that the first two levels were relatively safe, and only level three onwards was really dangerous?
For a moment, they found it hard to imagine how dangerous level three could be.
“It seems that level three is very dangerous. We must seize the time we have in Lighthouse Academy to improve ourselves. Otherwise, we won’t be able to survive after entering level three!”
“It’s also extremely important to find suitable teammates. With sufficient strength and comprehensive abilities, we need synthesized combat strength to be the strongest!”
“A reasonable team should have close combat individuals in front, as well as damage output, control, and healing at the back, right?”
“Sigh, I didn’t expect it to be so difficult later on!”
“...”
At this moment, the group of Awakened was discussing in low voices.
The instructor at the front continued, “Everyone, follow me into the academy’s auditorium now. The freshmen assembly is about to begin!”
Under the guidance of the instructor, the group of Awakened entered Lighthouse Academy and into the auditorium.
They sat down and waited curiously.
Not long after, the principal appeared. When he saw that there were more than 300 Awakened in the auditorium, he nodded slightly.
The overall strength of this batch of students was quite good. To think there were more than 300 Awakened who had obtained the qualifications to enter level three.
Then, the principal began his speech, “Welcome, all Awakened. I feel very honored to be able to witness your awakening and growth! Without further ado, we are pressed for time. Now, let’s begin the first segment, the summary of the ranking list. Let’s see who will be ranked first in the overall ranking of our twenty Towers! The person ranked first in the overall ranking will receive an extremely generous reward!”
After the principal finished speaking, he retreated to the side and made way for the big screen.
When the Awakened heard this, they were all extremely curious. Who would be able to be ranked first in the overall ranking? These were the rankings that included all of the Awakened from the 20 Towers.
On the big screen, the names of the first rankers from the 20 Towers appeared. There were also the records of the persons who ranked first on the overall ranking in the past.
The ranking points for the person who ranked first in the overall reputation ranking for the past three years: 124353,135564,115453.
The highest-ranking points in history for the person who ranked first in the overall reputation ranking: 204342.
When the Awakened saw the record, many began to discuss it.
From the past recent records, the numbers seemed to be just over 100000.
Yet the highest record actually reached over 200000, which was ahead by many points.
“Damn, I was Tower 120’s first place, but my reputation points are just over 30000. How did they do it?”
“You only have 30000 points? Damn, you’re lucky. To think you can get the reward with only 30000. I’m only second with 50,000 points in Tower 109. Our first is a monster, I reckon it’s very likely that he’s going to be ranked first here!”
“What’s going on? Why is the highest record so high?”
“It’s said that it was set when the Towers first appeared. At that time, there were many powerful humans, but in the past 20 years, there hasn’t been a true top-tier expert!”
“No wonder it’s said that our human strength has been declining recently, so it’s true.”
“It’s said that if this continues and there aren’t any top-tier experts, the human race might be doomed!”
“...”
Just as the group of Awakened was discussing, the big screen started to show the statistics.
The reputation points behind the 20 names started to jump, and the rankings kept changing.
There were people continuously reaching the first place, but there were also people continuously surpassing the original ranking.
Finally, a name stopped in the first place, and the person’s reputation points had reached more than 140,000.
Although it hadn’t reached the highest record in history, it had already surpassed the highest record of the previous three years.
Instantly, everyone felt that Tower 109’s first place was almost guaranteed to be first on the overall ranking. 140,000 points were completely enough.
Due to the fact that the Awakened in Tower 105 that Liu Yan had been from were the last to arrive, their points totaling had also been placed last.
In a corner of the crowd, the number one of Tower 109 stood up, ready to become the number one on the overall ranking list and receive the award with a proud expression.
However, at this moment, a wave of exclamations rippled through the auditorium.
Everyone looked towards the big screen and saw that Liu Yan’s reputation points were being calculated. Liu Yan’s points had instantly surpassed the previous number one and had already reached 180,000 points.
What was even more exaggerated was that the totaling of his reputation points was far from being over. The reputation points behind his name continued to rise.
Very quickly, it had exceeded 210000 points, surpassing the highest record in history!
Up until this moment, the totaling was still ongoing. The numbers were still rising!
Instantly, everyone in the auditorium was shocked.
“Damn, what’s going on? Is there a mistake in the statistics?”
“How is this possible? I’ve been hunting beasts the entire time, and I’ve never stopped, but I’ve only got around 50000 points. How did he manage to get more than 200000 points?”
“Not only that, it seems like his points are still increasing!”
“This is too exaggerated. Who is Liu Yan? Why haven’t I heard of him before?”
“I think I heard someone from Tower 105 say that he’s a lone-ranger with terrifying strength. He’s a monster!”
“...”
Even the instructor and principal were dumbfounded and couldn’t believe it.
Based on past experience, as long as one’s reputation points reached 150000 or more, they would most probably be able to grow into a top-tier expert.
It had been over 20 years since humanity had seen a top-notch expert.
As for the highest historical record, let alone surpassing it, no one had even gotten close to it in the past 100 years.
But at this moment, not only had this person’s points surpassed 150000 and the highest historical record, but it was even continuing to rise.
“Principal, could there be a mistake in the statistics?” The instructor asked doubtfully. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Liu Yan, it was just that the current situation was just too shocking and unbelievable.
The principal was also a little suspicious at this moment. He hurriedly went to look it up and returned with an ecstatic expression.
“Don’t worry, instructor Fang. I’ve just checked and there isn’t a single problem with the system. The data is completely correct. This time, not only will the human race produce a top-notch expert, but it’s an unprecedented expert at that. As long as Liu Yan is able to grow smoothly, he will become the strongest expert of the human race in our history. Not only will he be able to turn the defeating tide of the human race, but he will also be able to bring us to a new peak. This time, we humans might have a chance to rise!”
When instructor Fang heard the principal’s words, her face was filled with ecstasy. Especially since Liu Yan was her student, she was undoubtedly very proud this time. Because of Liu Yan, she might even be promoted to vice-principal!
At this moment, the reputation points behind Liu Yan’s name on the big screen finally stopped. The numbers stopped at a very exaggerated figure.
324566! A total that was more than 320000! It was simply unprecedented!
