The lanky man stared daggers at the participants who were still accusing the trio of hoodwinking their way to the top.
"Sir, I would like to know how many points they got, if it's okay with you."
Dempsey was unwilling to give up. He looked up at the man expectantly.
"Fine, as you wish."
The man simply shrugged and nodded his head.
"This jade token is from the third placer, and the total points scored is seven hundred and eighty thousand points."
The lanky man waved one of his hands with the other behind him, and a jade token flew towards Violet, and it hovered above her head.
Wow!
The other participants paled as if they saw a ghost in broad daylight. Seven hundred and eighty thousand?! They were all astonished by the amount.
"This one earned the second place. He had nine hundred and thirty thousand points!"
Once again, the lanky man waved his hand, and a second jade token hovered above the head of the middle-aged man, who was actually the Heavenly Majestic Pot.
Everybody felt their heart skipped a beat at this announcement. Never have they ever felt as diminutive as they were right now. These numbers were over the top!
No matter how immense these points were, they still hadn't heard the score amassed by the person who placed first. They wanted to say something but only found that they couldn't, because their throats were too tight even to swallow.
Finally, the lanky man pointed towards Austin and declared, "This person here won the first place. He had three million points!
To be honest to you, this is a rare number among all the passing eras.
As far as I can remember, there was only one person who got such a high point since the Primordial Road was constructed.
And later, that one became a god."
The lanky man switched his attention to Austin, commending him for a great performance.
Three million points!
At this point, all the people in the city were shocked by this surprising score, feeling like they were in a dream. They all feel light-headed as if they were walking on air.
For a moment, everyone's mind went blank. They seemed to stop breathing and thinking. Everybody's attention was fixed at Austin.
"Okay, we're done here. And you've seen the top three with your own eyes.
Here are the prizes for you three.
I hope the three of you can make consistent efforts in the following trials to get better results."
After congratulating them, the lanky man waved his hand and three light balls generated, flying to Austin, the Heavenly Majestic Pot and Violet respectively.
The three of them took their separate ball and put it away before bowing at the man to show their gratitude.
"Please take some rest and get ready for the next round," the lanky man advised kindly.
After that, he disappeared quietly just as quick as he materialized earlier.
"Ha, ha! What can you say now? I heard people call you a genius, but who gave you the confidence to hold your tail up high with only your pathetic thousands of points? I believe that you only killed a dozen thousands of beasts, didn't you?
You're nothing but a despicable scoundrel in my eyes. Please stop shaming your family here!"
Violet spat, and taunted Dempsey.
