Chapter 2048: Esteemed Guests

After staring at the rankings for a moment, Tian Yuexing suddenly snapped out of his daze.

His head whipped around—

"You!" he exclaimed, eyes locking onto Yuan.

"What about me?" Yuan calmly responded.

"How did you acquire 200 points when I clearly finished the fourth trial first?! You cheated!" Tian Yuexing questioned, even throwing cheating accusations.

Yuan lifted his head to look at the points, and sure enough, he had 500 points while Tian Yuexing only had 385 points.

He shrugged and replied, "How am I supposed to know? I didn’t make the rules, nor do I know how it works."

Hearing their exchange, Senior Bai stepped forward and said, "Allow me to explain the scoring system."

"The first person to complete a trial is awarded a full one hundred points, and each person who finishes after that receives five points fewer than the one before."

"In this case, you received a hundred points for finishing first," Senior Bai said, glancing at Tian Yuexing.

"However, the fourth trial is unique in the way that it has two finish lines. While you completed the first, Yuan went above and beyond and managed to reach the peak of the mountain, which is substantially harder, hence the two hundred points."

"He climbed to the peak of the mountain?! That’s impossible!" Tian Yuexing exclaimed, his voice tinged with disbelief.

He vividly remembers the Supreme Sword Aura radiating from the summit being near perfection. Even with his level of talent, he was still far from reaching that level.

The thought that Yuan’s Supreme Sword Aura was so vastly superior to his own was almost too much for Tian Yuexing to accept.

However, what truly irritated him was the possibility that he might never get to surpass Yuan again and reclaim first place.

There was only one trial left, and he was still 115 points behind. Even if he finished first and earned the full 100 points, he would still fall short—unless, by some miracle, Yuan were to be disqualified during the trial.

As if Senior Bai could read Tian Yuexing’s mind, he suddenly spoke, "There is still a chance to catch up in the final trial. Though it won’t be easy, it’s possible."

"Is that true?!" Tian Yuexing trembled with excitement, and his eyes reignited with ambition.

Senior Bai nodded, "Yes. I can’t give you any details, but it’s definitely possible."

Hearing this, Tian Yuexing turned to look at Yuan and said, "Why don’t we both take a rest and enter the final trial at the same time, a week from now? Unless you’re too afraid of me passing you, that is."
