"Bang!"

A strike of Holy Light descended, and under the glow of the Punishment Technique, a tall Half-Beastman fell.

"10 points earned."

Lin Ye muttered to himself.

The Champion Battlefield adopts a points-and-elimination system simultaneously, with a hundred contestants fighting each other on the battlefield until only one remains, and then ranking according to the order of elimination.

Of course, because the tournament lasts at most three days and nights, to prevent too many people from surviving at once, there's also a concurrent points system.

If multiple contestants remain alive when the competition ends, the ranking is determined by the number of points they have.

Points can be earned by killing monsters on the battlefield, with different monsters representing different point values, from 1-point goblins to 10-point Half-Beastmen, and even various elite monsters worth over a hundred points, and small BOSS monsters worth thousands, and large BOSS monsters worth tens of thousands…

Moreover, when a contestant depletes another contestant's Life Value, they can plunder their points.

This system also gives weaker contestants a chance to win.

As long as they can do good scouting, avoid the strong, and earn enough points by farming monsters, it's not impossible to improve their ranking.

It's safe to say that only a brute would think that the Champion Battlefield is about who has the strongest fists.

In fact, the Champion Battlefield often sees surprises, with unexpected people making it to the end.

There was even a year when an assassin from a small settlement used extremely keen scouting skills to survive until the end, even stealthily taking out several favored seed competitors, and won the championship that year.

Of course, such extreme cases only illustrate that this possibility exists, but they don't represent any generality.

With a different set of opponents, that unremarkable assassin who won the championship that year might not even make it to the top ten.

Lin Ye glanced at the current rankings.

After nearly half an hour of effort, Lin Ye, having killed two small BOSSes, was temporarily ranked first on the leaderboard.

As for the second place, it was the future Storm Magic God, Kong Feiliu.

His points were about a thousand less than Lin Ye's, and if he could kill another small BOSS, he would likely close the gap significantly with Lin Ye.

As for the third place, it was the very low-key Mountain City New King, Yuan Danqing.

In fact, she was also only about a hundred points behind Kong Feiliu, and she could surpass Kong Feiliu at any time.

As for the other rankings, Lin Ye didn't pay any more attention to them.

"There's another Flying Puppet ahead, change the route!" Lin Ye quickly grasped everything on the battlefield through the crows around.

Others couldn't do anything but endure the tracking of the Flying Puppet.

Of course, some people longed for more opportunities to showcase themselves, eager to arrange ten or eight Flying Puppets around them to film them throughout. Such people would even deliberately look for Flying Puppets to record themselves.

But Lin Ye had no such need and didn't want his every move to be exposed to others.

…

Meanwhile, inside the sports hall of the Shenzhen Professional Center, many spectators were watching the broadcast of the battle scenes.

There were many Flying Puppets tracking the contestants at the same time, but the screen was limited, so the scenes were focused on a few big names.

Many people were eager to show themselves but didn't realize that no matter how hard they tried, their screen would only be shrunken to a corner, vague and unnoticed.

But this year was vastly different from previous years.

Even the big names on the screen attracted little attention…

"Are you kidding me? We haven't found Lin Ye's footage yet? This is ridiculous!"

"He's ranked first on the leaderboard, and we don't even know what he's doing."

"Am I crazy, or is the world crazy? A Healer, managing to climb to the top of the Champion Battlefield leaderboard?"

"It's not that surprising. The Punishment Technique, while ineffective against Professionals, is quite potent against monsters."

"I think I understand what Lin Ye is doing… he might be trying to avoid others while crazily farming monsters to secure first place!"

"Whoa, does that mean he seriously has a shot at winning the championship?"

In the audience seats, many people were discussing.

And by now, quite a few had guessed Lin Ye's method of potentially winning the championship.

Although it's unclear how Lin Ye managed it, even the Flying Puppets couldn't capture Lin Ye's image, indicating without a doubt that Lin Ye had extremely strong scouting abilities to avoid the surveillance of Flying Puppets.

In fact, to capture Lin Ye, the Professional Alliance abandoned tracking low-ranked contestants and sent nearly half of the Flying Puppets to find Lin Ye's whereabouts.

But even so, Lin Ye's location remained elusive.

All they could see was his points continuously increasing, holding firmly to the first place on the leaderboard.

This left everyone in the audience clawing at their scalps, deeply unsettled.

…

However, Lin Ye didn't have any intentions of hiding; the battlefield was just too large, and he hadn't encountered any contestants worthy of his action yet.

Moreover, farming for Talent on the battlefield was somewhat troublesome.

After all, frequent Healing needs were quite rare here.

As for the Holy Healing Technique, it was not convenient to use casually…

So from the beginning, Lin Ye didn't expect to acquire many Talents on the battlefield.

Unless there was an opportunity presented right in front of him…

"Huh? Why are there so many people ahead?"

Walking along, Lin Ye suddenly saw through the crows' vision that there were seven or eight people divided into factions, confronting each other.

Among them, there were a few familiar faces to Lin Ye.

"Ke Yue, huh..."

Upon seeing this guy, Lin Ye intended to alter his route...

But he paused his steps.

Because, on the other side of Ke Yue's confrontation, were none other than Ke Jue and Qin Yi's group.

They were obviously attracted by a nearby BOSS.

But they likely didn't expect to run into their adversaries here.

While he could ignore everything else, Lin Ye was quite interested in obtaining Ke Jue's Talent.

The SS-level Flame Body was the same type as Lin Ye's original Talent but superior in Level.

And this Talent had significant use in the task of transitioning to an Anger Flame Priest!

Thus, although the probability was low, the opportunity was rare, and Lin Ye wanted to stop and see if there was a chance to use a few Healing Techniques on Ke Jue…

With the help of Four-leaf Clover, it wasn't impossible to acquire Ke Jue's Talent.

As for what relationship or conflict Ke Yue and Ke Jue had, Lin Ye was completely uninterested.

Seeing the two groups staring and not fighting made Lin Ye anxious.

Lin Ye's gaze suspiciously turned to the distant Rock Armor Earth Dragon BOSS…
