Chapter 233: Array Master - 1
"Ladies and gentlemen! We have our first match of Tier-1 students!"The moment the Host's voice boomed across the arena, the crowd erupted into thunderous cheers.
"But!"
The single word cut through the noise like a blade. The cheers died instantly, replaced by tense silence.
"Our first-ranked fresher can be considered a dark horse—because he wasn't in the top 10 from the start, not even in the top 50, not even in the top 500, and not even in the top 5000!"
Gasps rippled through the stands.
"Yes! He is a student with a Life Talent, originally ranked 6000th at registration. And yes—he exploited a loophole in the system to rise to first place!" The Host's grin widened. "Now the question is—do we have the real deal here, or just a fluke? Because, as you can see, the students who climbed into the top 10 through sheer trials don't look very happy about this newcomer."
