"I'm doomed, I can't hold on any longer!"

"Even if I can't hold on, I have to! I have a damn reason not to lose!"

"Damn it, where did this bullshit mountain come from? How can it exert so much pressure! Is it targeting me?!"

"Just over a hundred meters left, let's go!"

Time passed slowly.

At the foot of Zhenyue Peak, many new students were already crawling on all fours.

Their faces were contorted, their bodies trembling, and they were crawling forward with their last breath.

Meanwhile, a small number of freshmen had already reached the 100-meter dividing line set up for the selection competition.

These people are mostly Tier 2 Level 8 or even Tier 2 Level 9.

Gao Kai was among them.

Although the pressure increases as they go further, their abundant psychic energy makes them much more resilient to pressure than others.

For the top 100 students who reached the qualifying score, the official reward was an extremely valuable basic sequence advancement potion.

And it was distributed on the spot, requiring the students to take it immediately.

The pressure of Zhenyue Peak can tap into the human body's potential and improve cultivation efficiency.

With the added effect of the sequence advancement potion, almost without any surprises, all of these people steadily advanced to the 3rd rank!

Gao Kai opened his eyes from where he stood, still somewhat incredulous.

I'm already at level 3?

Keep in mind, Zhu Xiaotong has only been at level 3 for a short time!

However, after the initial surprise, he immediately turned his gaze to the figure several hundred meters away.

"All of this is because of my godfather!"

Gao Kai is very self-aware.

I'm just a nobody B-rank. If it weren't for Xu Yi, I wouldn't be where I am today.

In the future, I will have to go through fire and water to repay my adoptive father's kindness!

"That Gao Kai has actually crossed the line!"

Two hundred meters away, Jiang Sheng and Zhou Hang were still climbing forward with all their might.

At this point, they had almost no spiritual energy or strength left.

But when he looked up and saw one of his old classmates standing in front of him, and the other becoming a judge, he suddenly felt a surge of strength rising from somewhere, and gritted his teeth to continue pushing forward.

Xu Yi was slightly behind this group of students, and nodded to himself.

"The pressure is still not much, but at this rate, Jiang Sheng and Zhou Hang should be able to reach the finish line as well."

Soon, another half hour had passed.

At this point, the number of people who had crossed the line had reached over eight hundred.

Those who pass the cutoff after the top 100 will be rewarded with an S-grade beginner-level psionic potion.

For S-rank individuals like Xu Yi, this is a regular resource that they can receive one bottle of every month.

But for students from these second- or third-rate universities, it's a magic pill they wouldn't even dare to dream of normally!

By this point, it becomes extremely difficult for students who haven't reached the passing score to do so.

Their consumption is too great!

The pressure at Zhenyue Peak is ever-present; there is no such thing as a break.

Therefore, the longer it is delayed, the less hope there will be.

Fortunately, both Jiang Sheng and Zhou Hang narrowly made it across the finish line.

After crossing the line, the two immediately took the reward psionic potion and were now absorbing it wholeheartedly.

Xu Yi and the other judges stood at the dividing line, watching the students who still hadn't reached the cutoff score.

Even now, almost no one is willing to give up; everyone is desperately persevering.

But the judges shook their heads imperceptibly.

There's no hope!

Everyone wants to push themselves, but unfortunately, success isn't something you can achieve just by wanting to.

The limits of physical strength and willpower are not easily broken.

"This selection process is now concluded."

After waiting a few more moments and confirming that no one else could cross the line, Dai Zhan made the announcement.

"Those who haven't reached the finish line, there's no need to go any further; turn back."

The group of freshmen were stunned and stood there for a long time before turning around with resentment on their faces.

A dozen minutes later, the failed freshmen regrouped at the same spot.

However, the atmosphere was completely different from before; everyone's eyes were gloomy, as if they had lost their parents.

Those freshmen who reached the required level remained at the foot of the mountain to consolidate their level or absorb spiritual energy potions.

Looking at these failed new students, Dai Zhan shook his head.

This is the sequence world, more brutal than anywhere else.

Winner takes all!

The better your talent, the more opportunities you'll have, and the higher your level will be!

As for students with poor talent, how easy is it for them to achieve a comeback?

However, at this point, many judges had lost interest in the situation of the new students.

"Old Dai, Old Dai! Now that the selection competition is over, can we go up Zhenyue Peak too?"

Ding Feilang moved closer to Dai Zhan and asked impatiently.

Dai Zhan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"...Okay. However, you need to show me that you have at least 300 points. After you go down the mountain, you'll need to verify your points."

"Very good!"

Ding Feilang was extremely excited and immediately brought up his points page to show Dai Zhan.

Sang Cixue, Hou Fan, and several other students also met the requirement of 300 points.

After showing them the points page, they didn't linger and headed straight for Zhenyue Peak.

As for those who didn't have enough points, they could only watch their backs longingly, their faces full of envy.

"Hey, Senior Brother Xu, aren't you going?"

Dai Zhan suddenly turned his head and looked curiously at Xu Yi, who was standing still.

Didn't Xu Yi kill so many hairy zombies and green zombies?

Let alone 300 points, even 3,000 points should be something they can come up with!

The group from Dragon Tiger Academy were all taken aback, then suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but slap their thighs in sympathy for Xu Yi.

Just a few days ago, Xu Yi spent all of his several thousand points!

Where is he going to get another 300 points?

Furthermore, the official points system is unique; points cannot be lent out or exchanged for resources across different tiers.

Those with higher-level sequences can only exchange for higher-level resources.

Even those at the intermediate level can only exchange for intermediate-level resources.

In other words, the only way to accumulate another 300 points is to kill zombies and slowly build them up!

It's alright if we can't gather 300 points.

But for someone like Xu Yi who had points but spent them, that's really unfair!

"I exchanged some resources a few days ago, and I don't have enough points for now," Xu Yi said.

"That...that's such a pity!"

Dai Zhan couldn't help but shake his head.

"If you miss today, Zhenyue Peak might never be open to the public again!"

"It's alright," Xu Yi said with a smile. "Let's see what happens first."

He stood still, looking at the figures in front of him.

At this point, they had arrived at the foot of Zhenyue Peak and began to climb the mountain.

"This Zhenyue Peak is 1,000 meters high and has 10,000 steps."

"Beside him," Dai Zhan explained.

"Theoretically, the limit for a level 5 sequencer is one thousand steps."

"The limit for a level 6 sequencer is two thousand levels."

"Oh?" Xu Yi suddenly became interested.

"How many steps can your esteemed senior brother Lu Yinghan reach?"

"Tier 1971!"

Dai Zhan spoke slowly, a hint of reverence in his eyes.

Everyone gasped in shock.

No wonder he's ranked number one on the current mid-level overall leaderboard!

This is almost the limit for a level 6 sequencer!

Xu Yi nodded as well.

This Lu Yinghan has indeed accumulated a great deal of experience!

After Dai Zhan finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Yi and felt somewhat disappointed.

The new senior disciple of Dragon Tiger Academy is indeed very strong, and his abilities are unpredictable. He wants to see how far the other party can go!

I'm even more eager to see if he can get close to the record that Senior Brother Lu set when he was at level 5.

But who would have thought that the other party couldn't even come up with 300 points!

What a waste of his expectations!
