Three days passed in a flash, the rankings in constant flux. A large bead of sweat slid down Zhang Heng's temple, splattering on his red chest armor. His eyes were wide. "We've been surpassed."
Dawn had just broken. The three short, forceful words struck the others around him like a hammer blow. They were all stunned for a moment, then stared dumbfounded after looking at the rankings.
[Thirty-third Place: Gao Yuan City's Outer City Eighth Middle School — 13872]
An Outer City High School with only about eighty people had broken into a rank usually reserved for thousand-student Inner City High Schools. Not only that, they were in the middle of the pack, having already surpassed their Fourth Middle School!
Jiang Qiu alone accounted for ten thousand points, putting his individual rank at 27th in the entire province!
