Chapter 113

"Qin Han, if you miss this competition, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life."

After muttering to himself for a moment, Chen Chaoxi summoned the Competition Leaderboard. At a glance, his eyes widened in shock.

"It’s Qin Han! He’s actually ranked first?"

"Even though he entered later, he managed to climb to the top so quickly. As expected of a Divine-level Profession."

The surprise in Chen Chaoxi’s eyes flickered briefly before being replaced by burning determination.

"Since the start, this is my first real competition against the geniuses of the Myriad Heavens. Qin Han’s arrival has finally given me a taste of pressure."

"Let’s fight. Let’s see who can claim first place."

Stowing the loot he had obtained, Chen Chaoxi continued toward the next checkpoint.

Behind him, the other geniuses of the Myriad Heavens also succeeded in slaying the Stone Crystal Commander.

Jiang Ningxue ranked third.

Selina ranked fourth.

Aside from Qin Han’s unexpected rise, which pushed everyone’s ranking down by one, there weren’t many other surprises.

Unfortunately, due to the dynamic enhancement of monsters, innate Constitution no longer provided an advantage here. The only factors that mattered now were Profession bonuses, equipment enhancements, and combat experience.

Even Feng Qianjue, who had entered early and recklessly bulldozed through the first checkpoint—where the monsters were weaker—had been lucky enough to secure a high rank.

But this time, facing an elite monster, he struggled.

Despite being decked out in the best equipment from the Beginner’s Village, the Stone Crystal Commander proved too tough for him.

Though he eventually killed it, his speed was far slower, causing his rank to plummet to the 130s.

"Damn it, this is humiliating! I’m the son of the Demon Emperor! If word of this gets out, my old man will probably kill me."

"It’s all those useless low-level Demons’ fault. If they had been more competent, I could’ve at least secured a Saint-level Profession."

……

As the Saint-level Profession experts at the top of the leaderboard successively defeated the Stone Crystal Commander, their points reached 2,000.

The rest of the competitors gradually began to make their moves.

Starting with Feng Qianjue, the top-tier Profession players engaged in fierce battles and eventually managed to kill the Stone Crystal Commander.

But for the Advanced Profession players, luck wasn’t on their side.

Those who had made it this far were all geniuses who far surpassed their peers in their home worlds. Their innate Constitution Points were significantly higher than other players’.

However, due to the dynamic enhancement of monsters here, their natural advantages became meaningless.

In the Game of Eternal Life’s dynamic dungeons, players in the Novice Period had their strength adjusted accordingly.

Ordinary top-tier Profession players could hold their own against elite monsters, even capable of soloing elites of their own level.

Ordinary Advanced Profession players, however, had to risk their lives to stand even a slim chance of defeating an elite monster.

Thus, from this checkpoint onward, Advanced Profession players began to die.

Still, many others barely managed to kill the Stone Crystal Commander in desperate struggles.

Once this group barely scraped through, another batch of players faced the terrifying Stone Crystal Commander like an insurmountable chasm.

These were the Intermediate Profession players.

Outside, they could rely on innate talents surpassing most people, gather some high-level equipment, or even seek help to barely manage to kill Elite Monsters.

But here, their innate talents became useless, and without any assistance, facing the Stone Crystal Commander, it was like confronting an insurmountable chasm!

This battle could no longer be considered a desperate fight— it was more like a world-class martial arts champion fighting a first-grader barehanded in a ring.

The chances of success?

Not one in a billion.

Ninety-nine point nine percent of Intermediate Profession players stopped here and chose to give up!

Their points remained stuck at: 1,000!

Only a handful of lucky ones, exhausting all their lifetime’s fortune, dodged countless attacks and barely managed to grind the Stone Crystal Commander to death.
