Chapter 111
Thus, Feng Qianjue narrowly escaped death!
"By that logic, I saved him, making me his savior, right?"
"If we happen to meet, charging him a protection fee wouldn’t be unreasonable, would it?"
Squinting his eyes, Qin Han continued browsing the rankings.
At the moment, his score of zero placed him beyond the one billionth rank.
"Time to move. Any further delay will only drop my ranking lower."
With that, Qin Han summoned Nightmare and charged forward at breakneck speed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wherever he passed, the monsters in his path fell one after another, none able to withstand a single arrow.
The Nobility Rank examination dungeon consisted of nine checkpoints—nine maps in total.
This was the first checkpoint, filled with ordinary monsters, each worth one point.
Clearing the first map would theoretically grant 1,000 points.
This checkpoint was also the simplest.
As long as one didn’t have poor eyesight and miss any monsters, nearly all participants could achieve a perfect score.
With Nightmare’s speed and Qin Han’s rapid-fire archery, the monsters fell like wheat before a scythe.
Aside from some special equipment and items, these monsters rarely dropped gear, but they provided abundant Experience Points.
Combined with the Experience Points gained from slaying the Savage Bull Commander earlier, Qin Han reached Level 11 by the halfway point.
The slaughter continued, and his ranking climbed steadily:
One billionth...
One hundred millionth...
Ten millionth...
One millionth...
By the time he reached the checkpoint’s end, his ranking had soared into the top 10,000!
His points were now fixed at 1,000.
Similarly, the top 10,000 rankings all displayed the same score of 1,000 at this point.
This was another unique feature of the Nobility Rank Points system:
Identical scores were ranked by who achieved them first.
In the previous life’s final rankings, many players’ scores had nearly overlapped.
Ahead lay a glowing portal.
Stepping through it would take him to the second checkpoint.
After double-confirming his perfect score of 1,000 points, Qin Han rode Nightmare straight into the second checkpoint!
What greeted him was an endless desert.
A stone creature lay on the ground, resembling a pile of scattered rubble.
Qin Han raised his bow and fired an arrow.
A red damage number of around 6,700 appeared.
The pile of rubble on the ground suddenly began to gather, slowly forming a five-story-tall, gray stone monster.
Its flattened head bore eyes the size of mung beans, fixed intently on Qin Han.
Boom!
The creature slammed its two hammer-like fists together, then brought them crashing down toward Qin Han.
Qin Han maneuvered Nightmare in a wide arc, continuously firing arrows as he went.
Damage numbers of over 6,700 kept appearing.
Stone Crystal Commander: Level 11 elite monster.
HP: 3.6 million.
Ordinary elite monsters typically had around 100,000 HP at most, but dungeon monsters were dynamically enhanced based on the player’s strength.
Given his Divine-level Profession’s passive effects, this thing was likely boosted by about thirty times.
The Stone Crystal Commander was immune to poison damage, and physical damage was significantly reduced.
Fortunately, Qin Han had the Godslayer Bow, which ignored Defense, making the fight manageable.
The Stone Crystal Commander’s only weakness lay in the Core on its back—only attacks there could deal Fatal Damage!
Qin Han swiftly circled around, positioning himself to strike at the Core.
The Stone Crystal Commander was extremely slow. By the time it managed to turn halfway around, Qin Han had already circled behind it. There, on the monster's back, was a circular crystal emitting a glowing blue light.
"Now!"
In an instant, Qin Han raised his bow and fired rapidly, his hands moving so fast they became a blur. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Over a dozen arrows shot forth, each striking the crystal with pinpoint accuracy. Terrifying yellow damage numbers of around -67,000 erupted continuously, causing the monster's HP to plummet rapidly.
In agony, the Stone Crystal Commander attempted to retaliate, but against Nightmare's speed, it stood no chance. The Godslayer Bow's ability to ignore Defense, combined with Nightmare's incredible agility and Qin Han's overwhelming attack power, ensured the battle was over in less than a minute.
With a final mournful howl, the monster's massive body crumbled to the ground, leaving behind 1,000 gold coins and a Core radiating a glowing blue light.
