"Great, I made it into the top hundred!"

"Ugh, I missed it by a bit, so frustrating, can't go to the Skill Divine Hall now..."

"Hahaha, I'm in the top fifty!"

The Professional Plaza was teeming with more and more people, most of whom were the new recruits of the year.

Some rejoiced while others were disappointed. Those with higher rankings naturally appeared more composed.

Meanwhile, those unhappy with their rankings couldn't help but sigh.

"Ke Jue, ranked first, has already reached Level 19, while the second place is only Level 16, how is this even possible?"

"Indeed, in such fierce competition, a whole three-level gap has emerged..."

"Faced with such a gap, there's not even a trace of dissatisfaction left."

Hearing the discussions around him, Ke Jue adjusted his hair...

So this is what it feels like to be regarded as a towering figure?

"By the way, where's Lin Ye? How come he's still at Level 15?"

"Yeah, he disappeared for five days again, what's he been up to?"

"He won't even make it into the top ten, will he?"

"Let's wait a bit, I feel like he should finish soon, but getting first place is probably out of the question."

The professionals at the plaza began talking about Lin Ye again.

Although Lin Ye had previously achieved the feat of rising five levels in three days...

At that time, Lin Ye was merely going from Level 10 to Level 15.

Now, standing at Level 15, just a single level up requires more experience points than going from Level 10 to Level 15.

The current chart-topper, Ke Jue, is already at Level 19...

Lin Ye surpassing Ke Jue in five days isn't impossible, but the odds are too slim.

The time ticked away, with just a few minutes left until midnight...

Everyone was waiting for the final moment!

Once it's past midnight, reaching Level 100 wouldn't even matter!

The eligibility to enter the Skill Divine Hall is based on the rankings at this moment.

Almost everyone had their eyes on the final countdown...

But at that exact moment, a scream erupted from the crowd.

"Holy crap? Level 21! How is this possible!"

"Went up six levels in five days?"

"Lin Ye is Level 21 now!"

And at this moment, it was exactly midnight.

Ke Jue was somewhat dazed...

Looking at the ranking chart, at the person in first place, he suddenly felt that his five days of hard work were a complete joke.

...

"Seems like I don't need to focus too much on farming attribute values from now on..."

Lin Ye exhaled a long breath.

In the five days, he had nearly maxed out his experience points by the fourth day.

Yet he stayed an extra day in the Mysterious Tomb just to farm more attribute values!

Spending that extra day outside wouldn't even be enough time to farm a Secret Realm.

Staying in the Mysterious Tomb allowed him to rack up some attributes, so naturally, he wouldn't leave easily.

After all, he spent a solid two million in real cash!

That's why he held off on the final reckoning until now.

Regarding how much energy consumption the Gao Family had to bear, that's not his concern.

Anyway, Lin Ye never considered any possibility of reconciliation with the Gao Family...

If there was even a chance, the Gao Family would've likely taken action to eliminate Lin Ye long ago.

Lin Ye glanced at the ranking chart again, now finding his name at the top, leading with Level 21.

He even pulled a full two-level gap ahead of the second-place Ke Jue.

Don't underestimate this two-level gap...

Because, the experience required from Level 20 to 21 alone is already ten times that from Level 19 to 20!

It seems like just a two-level difference, but in reality, it's like a chasm!

"Time to go home and sleep, tomorrow is the day to go to the Skill Divine Hall!" Lin Ye glanced at the ranking chart, then headed home directly!

After farming the Secret Realm for five days, although he'd never skipped rest, sleeping in a tent was never as comfortable as his bed at home.

Gotta recharge to acquire some good skills in the Skill Divine Hall tomorrow!

Lin Ye traversed the crowd and vanished from the plaza.

...

A crow flapped its wings, landing on the top of a tree.

Its pitch-black eyes turned with its head, constantly scanning the surroundings.

As Lin Ye walked home, his vision already encompassed a radius of one mile around him as the center.

For the Lord of the Secret Realm like Lin Ye, assassination attempts have become extremely ineffective.

As long as he detects it early, he can immediately retreat into his domain.

Of course, inside an Alternate Space or a Secret Realm, this tactic becomes ineffective.

Just like a regular spatial bag can't contain another spatial bag, within the Secret Realm Space, you can't open teleportation gates of other spaces.

When Lin Ye left the Professional Plaza, he noticed people gradually following him.

He recognized these individuals; they were underlings of Qin Lang.

Previously, they were responsible for secretly safeguarding Lin Ye's safety.

But now, it appeared there was an uninvited guest.

"Who are you?"

Lin Ye stopped, looking towards the rooftop of a certain building.

There stood a silhouette, making eye contact with Lin Ye from afar.

The next moment, the figure took a step back and vanished into a spatial rift.

"Space spell, it's Gao Lanlan, isn't it?"

Seeing this, Lin Ye immediately recognized the identity of the figure.

Space system professionals are rare, and the only one in Shan City possibly involved with him would be Gao Lanlan.

Lin Ye was quite surprised because previously, it was obvious that Gao Lanlan didn't have any intentions to attack him.

Yet, that tiny bit of subtle, repressed killing intent was still caught by Lin Ye.

After Gao Lanlan retreated, Qin Lang's team members apprehended the irregular situation Lin Ye had.

They immediately dispatched people to search the surroundings...

Lin Ye stared at the rooftop for a while before retracting his gaze.

"Spatial Talent..."

"If possible, I must get my hands on it!"

His temporary domain concealment method was so weak compared to what Gao Lanlan just used!

Where Lin Ye withdraws into his domain from this position, upon coming out, he'd undoubtedly appear at this very spot.

And, it can't be used within Secret Realms or Alternate Spaces.

The move Gao Lanlan used clearly had none of these restrictions.

Because Lin Ye had already seen Gao Lanlan emerge from a spatial rift a hundred meters away, then enter another rift, instantly vanishing into the night.

Lin Ye was honestly quite envious.

"Anyway, tomorrow it's more practical to get a decent skill at the Skill Divine Hall first."

Lin Ye murmured, heading home to sleep!
