Chapter 365 Points Ranking
He even "casually" cleared out some monsters on the map.
These monsters, which would require a team and careful planning to defeat even a level 25 player, were equally vulnerable to him.
A Lv.53 "Lava Crocodile" that was lurking by the edge of a lava pool suddenly leaped up to launch a sneak attack, only to have its head blown off mid-air by a beam of light.
A swarm of Lv.50 "Flame Bats" rushed in, but Lin Tian merely glanced at them and unleashed a shower of starlight from his fingertips, instantly clearing the area.
He even encountered a rare elite "Flame Crystal Spider King" at level 65, which was entrenched in a small mining area, surrounded by more than a dozen small spiders at level 55.
An eight-person team (average Lv.27) is watching from a distance, hesitating whether to take on the challenge.
Lin Tian walked straight over.
Sensing the threat, the Flame Crystal Spider King hissed, and the little spiders swarmed forward, while it also spewed out scorching lava webs.
Lin Tian continued walking, his right hand casually drawing an arc in front of him. Dozens of tiny star rays sprayed out in a fan shape.
puff puff puff...
The charging spiders seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of death, instantly turning into ashes.
The Spider King's lava web was annihilated by an invisible force field when it came within three feet of Lin Tian's body.
The spider king angrily raised its forelimbs, intending to smash it down.
Lin Tian looked up and glanced at it.
[Astral rays].
A beam of light, more solid than before, instantly pierced through its hard fire crystal shell and core.
The giant spider's body froze, then crashed to the ground, turning into a wealth of experience points, materials, and a kill notification.
[Defeat the rare elite "Flame Crystal Spider King" (Lv.65) to gain +35 upgrade points and +52 Dominator Power.]
The eight-man squad in the distance watched in stunned silence, the captain nearly dropping his binoculars.
"Instantly...instantly killed? A level 65 rare elite? Just like that?"
"That...that person...could it be...?"
"It's Lin Tian! Quick, let's go! Before he notices us!"
The captain reacted the fastest, his voice even changed tone.
The eight people scrambled and crawled away, wishing they had two more legs.
Lin Tian did "notice" them, but he had just gained a good amount of wild monster resources and was in a good mood. Moreover, the eight people were fleeing in the opposite direction from his planned route, so he let them go for the time being.
Throughout the process, Lin Tian's mind was like a frozen lake, occasionally rippling with a slight disturbance.
"The resources provided by a team of players are no different from those provided by a single player. Clearing them takes a little longer, but it's acceptable."
"The rewards from wild monsters are slightly higher than those from players of the same level, but finding and killing them takes time, so the overall efficiency is not as good as areas with dense player populations."
Less than 30 minutes into the match (Seventh Division Time).
In a corner of the field of vision of all players in the entire region, in that previously blank area, after a flash of light, the traces of numbers and rankings appeared for the first time—the [Seventh Region Real-time Leaderboard (Top 1000)] has been updated.
Countless players struggling to survive, searching for teammates, painstakingly collecting resources, or fighting each other subconsciously glance at the leaderboard.
At the top of the leaderboard, one ID firmly held the position, and the points number behind it made everyone who saw it suddenly shrink their pupils and almost stop their hearts.
First place: Lin Tian | Points: 587
Second place, [Long Aotian], points: 42.
Third place, [Su Wan], points: 38.
Fourth place, points: 35...
……
Ranked 1000th, with 9 points.
The gap is an insurmountable chasm that inspires despair.
Nearly 600 points in less than half an hour!
What does this mean?
Even with all kills being guaranteed to be at least 1 point, he has already taken down nearly 600 players!
Many people know that some players with non-zero points were killed, contributing 10% of the points. The actual number of kills may be slightly less than 600, but it is still a chilling number.
After a brief silence, the temporary regional communication channel of the Seventh Division (covering the entire division) exploded!
Countless suppressed cries of fear, shock, disbelief, and despair flooded the screen, with text and voice messages scrolling wildly:
"At the top of the leaderboard! It's Lin Tian! 587 points! My god! How many people did he kill?!"
"587 points?! The second place only got 42 points! How is this possible?!"
"He's moving northeast from the southwest of the scorched lava core plain! His coordinates keep changing! Nothing grows in the path he passes!"
"Our 'Crimson Banner' guild's 30-man raid group attempted to ambush us at (8011, 9233)... After ten seconds, only half of them managed to escape... We simply couldn't fight them! Their attacks were unblockable, undodgeable, and guaranteed to kill us in one hit!"
"Report this! This is definitely cheating!"
"Can any experts analyze what skills he used? How should we deal with them?"
"Respond? Wake up, upstairs! That's Lin Tian!! He's from a completely different dimension than us! There's only one way to deal with him: run! Get as far away from him as possible!"
"Run? Where to run? The safe zone is on the entire map. What if he wants to clear it out and just runs around the whole world with his map-wide attacks?"
"Unite! All the major guilds must unite! Overwhelm him with sheer numbers! No matter how strong he is, his mana and stamina have their limits, right?"
"Human wave tactics? Didn't you see the 'Crimson Banner' thirty-man squad collapse in ten seconds? Thirty men didn't even get within a hundred meters of him before they were all dead! You think you can just pile them up?"
"Why is our region so unlucky! How could 700,000 people have run into this jinx!"
"Waaah, I don't want to play anymore, I want to quit the preliminaries..."
"@All members, this is an elder of the 'Hall of Glory' guild. I advise all players to temporarily abandon the Scorched Lava Core Plains and surrounding areas, and move towards the 'Permafrost Glacier' or 'Dark Forest' on the edge of the competition zone. Again, stay away from Lin Tian's activity area! Conserve your strength!"
"Elder, the remote areas are poor in resources..."
"Resources or lives?!"
The channel was filled with despair, anger, humble prayers, unrealistic fantasies, and a rapidly spreading, deep-seated fear of the name "Lin Tian".
He is no longer the unattainable master of legend, but a "calamity" that has truly descended upon this region and is carrying out indiscriminate cleansing with terrifying efficiency.
Many players have even lost the will to continue exploring and competing, focusing only on how to avoid this death trap.
Lin Tian merely glanced at the tsunami of information flooding the channel, then, as if silencing irrelevant noise, switched the regional channel notifications to complete silence.
To him, all that noise, scheming, and fear was no different from the popping sound of lava bubbles bursting, and even less valuable.
