158: Ten trumpets blew, shocking the whole camp

At this moment, in front of the nearby Divine Martial Tower, people were bustling.

Compared to the other two leaderboards, the Battle Power Ranking received the most attention.

After all, many people on the current Battle Power Ranking were already influential figures renowned throughout the world.

Not to mention Great Grandmasters, even most individuals in the Titan Realm had appeared on this list.

Therefore, engaging in combat with a powerful figure from another dimension was a highly meaningful experience.

If one accidentally won a move or two, they could even boast, "I defeated a certain Titan!"

After a week of lying low, people gradually began challenging the ranking again.

On the large screen at the entrance, the challengers' records and the latest rankings were updated in real-time.

"Today, many strong individuals have entered to challenge the rankings!"

"There are tons of people ranked over 200!"

"Look, the ranking has been updated again!"

"Li Jia has entered the top 200, amazing!"

"Holy crap, Yue Wuji is ranked 98! Incredible, someone has entered the top 100!"

"Yue Wuji is consistently one of the top three in the entire Southern District, so this achievement isn't surprising for him."

"I just saw Xie Chen go in, his results should be out soon!"

"Really? Xie Chen's ranking will directly determine the wager between him and Jiang Fan!"

"I think he's determined to compete with Jiang Fan this time."

"It's hard to say who's stronger between them now!"

...

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Just as everyone was discussing, a deep bell sound suddenly echoed through the arena.

The bell sound seemed to come from ancient times, distant and solemn, reverberating in everyone's hearts.

"The Shenwu Bell has rung! The Shenwu Bell actually rang!"

"What's going on? Is it time for assembly?"

"Assembly for what? The bell ringing indicates that someone has broken into the top ten of the rankings! For the tenth place, it rings once; for the ninth place, it rings twice; if someone reaches the top of the ranking, it rings ten times!"

"The bell rang three times! That means someone has reached eighth place on the leaderboard!"

"Holy crap, who's so fierce?! Hurry and look, the ranking is about to update!"

...

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the ranking on the large screen finally updated.

"Xie Chen! It's really him, ranked eighth!"

"As expected of the top student from the Eastern District, he directly rushed to eighth place!"

"Damn, I'm even more excited for his match with Jiang Fan!"

"How many points is the reward for this eighth place? Does anyone remember?"

"1.2 million points! My goodness, Jiang Fan probably can't come up with that many points."

"Excellent! My villa slot trial is after his, with Xie Chen stepping in to take down Jiang Fan, I won't have to lose points! Hahahaha!"

"It's been ten years! The Shenwu Bell hasn't rung for ten years! Now, it rings three times consecutively! Three consecutive rings! Xie Chen, truly the outstanding talent of this generation!"

Instructor Gao Junjie was internally excited, with tears subtly glistening in his eyes.

On the fifth floor of the Divine Martial Tower, Xie Chen's face was filled with excitement as, after a fierce battle, he finally dispelled the Senior's phantom in front of him.

Xie Chen listened to the distant bell sound, which felt like celestial music, making him feel as if he was floating.

"I am the true champion of this Training Camp, Jiang Fan, I will eventually step on you!"

Xie Chen laughed heartily.

Immediately, he tidied his disheveled hairstyle.

Then he walked to the edge of the tower and leaped down.

The wind whistled past his ears, like the screams and shouts of countless people.

The sunlight shone on his chestnut hair, sparkling with dazzling brilliance.

Awesome!

This feeling is so awesome!

"Look, Xie Chen jumped down!"

"His aura is incredible, like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal world!"

"As expected of someone ranked eighth on the Battle Power Ranking, this kind of courage and boldness is beyond ordinary people!"

...

Everyone looked up, their eyes filled with envy.

Just then,

A passionate and clear horn blast rang out.

"What's going on? Did someone blow the roof off the Beast Fighting Arena? Why is that sound so loud?"

"Possibly, the explosions in the Beast Fighting Arena have been going on for an hour, it would be strange if the roof wasn't blown off!"

Just then, the horn sounded again.

The second sound!

The third sound!

...

The tenth sound!

"My goodness! Ten horn blasts! What does this mean?"

"Ten horn blasts means the top record in the Beast Fighting Arena has been broken!"

"Who's so amazing that they broke the top record!"

"Hurry, let's go see!"

...

Immediately, the crowd in front of the Divine Martial Tower swarmed towards the Beast Fighting Arena like a hive.

Xie Chen was startled, his right foot, which had just landed, twisted, and he nearly fell to the ground.

Looking at the empty square around him, his chest tightened, and he almost spat out blood.

He hadn't even been cool for three seconds before he was forgotten!

The three bell rings hadn't even caused a stir before they were completely drowned out by the ten horn blasts.

"I'm going to see who this is, ruining my good moment like this!"

Xie Chen felt depressed, thinking this, and also walked towards the Beast Fighting Arena.

At this moment.

The entire Beast Fighting Arena was already in chaos.

No one was queuing at the entrance anymore; they all rushed inside, nearly filling the entire Beast Fighting Arena.

Those behind couldn't squeeze in and had to inquire from outside.

"Brother, who exactly broke the record!"

"Who else but Jiang Shen!"

"It's Jiang Shen, then that's not surprising."

...

Inside the Beast Fighting Arena.

Jiang Fan received treatment akin to an Olympic champion.

Countless fanboys and fangirls scrambled to take photos under the scoreboard.

The numbers on the scoreboard were bright red and striking: 398868.

This was the data already converted into standard Fourth-Tier Vicious Beasts.

"Damn, Jiang Shen isn't human! The top record was 203,045 beasts, and Jiang Shen directly doubled it?!"

"This will make people after him so desperate; it'll probably be hundreds of years before the record can be broken."

"Participating in the Training Camp is truly eye-opening; this counts as witnessing history!"

Wang Tao, Xie Chen's loyal subordinate, questioned the authenticity of the data:

"This is impossible! This data is too fake! The top record was set by activating all twelve gates and killing for over 140 minutes. It's only been less than 80 minutes since the Beast Fighting Arena opened until now! How could the data have almost doubled?!"

Xin Meng also echoed:

"The Training Camp wouldn't intentionally create false data to fool people just to establish a role model, would they?"

Upon hearing this, rational students immediately realized that this wasn't a difficult math problem.

Everyone pondered for a moment and immediately felt that the data was incorrect.

"That's right, it's impossible for the score difference to be so huge in such a short amount of time."

"Even if Jiang Fan killed Fifth-Tier Vicious Beasts, it couldn't be this many."

"The Training Camp is doing something like this just to cultivate Jiang Fan?"

"If so, where is the fairness? Isn't this just giving Jiang Fan points?"

...

Everyone's excitement turned into indignation.

Yuan Xiwei was about to respond to everyone's doubts.

A majestic voice suddenly rang out in the Beast Fighting Arena:

"Congratulations to student Jiang Fan for breaking the endurance ranking record, successfully killing 99,717 Sixth-Tier Vicious Beasts, totaling 398,868 Fourth-Tier Vicious Beasts. Special reward of 10 million points, and an additional reward of one Creation Empowerment!"

Upon hearing this, the Beast Fighting Arena immediately erupted in lively discussion.

"Jiang Shen actually killed Sixth-Tier Vicious Beasts?"

"I struggle to fight a Sixth-Tier Vicious Beast one-on-one, and Jiang Shen is using them for mass farming?"

"I calculated it, to reach Jiang Shen's data, he would still need to activate all twelve gates."

"This... as expected of Jiang Shen! He cannot be judged by common sense."

"What is this Creation Empowerment thing? It sounds very powerful."

"It's probably related to the Tree of Creation from the selection trials."

...

Meanwhile, Wang Tao and Xin Meng, who had led the questioning, shrank their heads and dared not say another word.

Xie Chen, located at the back of the crowd, watched this scene from afar, his eyes dark, his teeth grinding audibly.
