Ethan Lin kept a close eye on the clock as the 24-hour mark loomed ever closer. He couldn't help feeling a bit anxious—if Xena Xiao failed to reach 100 consecutive victories within the time limit, it would mean an entire day's effort wasted.
With just five minutes remaining, Xena stirred and sighed, "So exhausted…"
"Xena, did you make it?" Ethan asked quickly, unsure if she had managed to remain undefeated throughout.
For the "100 Wins in a Day" title, it wasn't enough to win 100 matches; not a single loss was allowed.
"Yes, I did it!" Xena's face lit up with excitement. The past 24 hours had been grueling, forcing her to stay in a near-constant state of focus and sometimes even pushing her to her limit. She had encountered some remarkably skilled opponents, many with defensive fighting styles that were difficult to break through.
Without extensive combat experience, she had relied heavily on her formidable physical strength, her mastery of intent, and the techniques of Titan Palm and her Lightweight Technique to secure her victories. She had held nothing back, feeling the drain of each encounter as her energy and mental resilience were thoroughly tested.
"Ethan, I'm going to submit my title claim," Xena said eagerly. She was determined to solidify her lead over Gallen Jin, giving herself an advantage on the path to becoming Freshman King.
At the Points Crystal Monument, Xena's previous score of 1693 points had put her slightly ahead of Gallen, who was close behind with 1673 points. The competition was fierce, with some betting on Xena to claim victory, while others believed Gallen's persistence would eventually pay off.
Then, the campus buzzed with sudden silence as everyone watched Xena's updated score flash on the monument: 2393 points. She had pulled ahead of Gallen by over 700 points in an instant.
"Unbelievable! Xena Xiao also completed the 100 Wins in a Day title. Gallen's rumored mental fortitude allowed him to endure the non-stop fighting and make full use of his Divine Skills, but how did Xena manage to accomplish it?"
"True, Xena only has insight into third-tier martial intent, while Gallen has grasped sixth-tier techniques. Gallen should technically be leagues above her."
"But remember, Gallen's matches are against other Blood Transformation Stage opponents, who are much stronger. Xena's opponents would be weaker, giving her a significant edge at her level in Star Network."
"Now that she's achieved 100 Wins in a Day and the 100-Win Streak, Gallen has very few chances left to catch up!"
Most students now thought Xena was the likely Freshman King.
Meanwhile, Gallen's shock at seeing her updated score was tempered by the resolve he'd gained with his newly acquired Primal Vitality Pill.
"Xena Xiao, I'll keep grinding and collecting points without rest—I will surpass you," he muttered.
After securing both the 100-Win Streak and the 100 Wins in a Day titles, Xena decided to forego other titles since they would require significant time and effort for only minimal gains. Instead, she discussed with Ethan her plan to break some longstanding records.
Galaxy University had countless records set over the past hundred years, and breaking any of them would grant 100 points.
Some records were highly challenging, but others could be within reach for a skilled student like Xena, making record-breaking an essential tactic for elite students to amass points.
In her dorm room, Xena studied her options on the university website, assessing which records might be within her reach.
"One student, 83 years ago, set a record by advancing five minor levels in a single month, reaching the Blood Transformation Stage from the fifth level of the Purification Stage," she murmured.
"Clearing the Machine Tower in an hour…"
"The Gravity Room record—ten hours straight…"
Xena was in awe of these past accomplishments, realizing the true level of talent that Galaxy University attracted. Each record listed precise benchmarks and rules, with some requiring high cultivation levels, while others depended on skill alone.
The Machine Tower record, set ten years ago, involved passing all levels of the tower within one hour. The Machine Tower was designed to test agility and speed across five levels, each with increasingly difficult virtual opponents generated through technology and runic formations.
As a test of physical capability, the challenge required students to rely solely on their natural abilities—no Guardian Spirit assistance or merging was allowed, or it would result in instant disqualification.
"My Lightweight Technique from the ancient Huaxia era should help me breeze through this challenge," Xena speculated.
"Then go for it, Xena! Let's snag another 100 points," Ethan encouraged.
"Alright, the Machine Tower will be my first target!" she decided.
Taking a ground transport vehicle, Xena quickly reached the Machine Tower. Her fame at Galaxy University had spread, and her movements were closely followed by many students. Word soon reached Gallen Jin about her latest challenge attempt.
