"Who's that girl? She looks so young—what batch of lords is she from?"
"She actually won the championship?? How does that script not match up?"
"She's so pretty—if she were from Spirit Orb Continent, I'd know every lord from the past three batches... Which continent is she really from?"
"That can't be... The necromancer made it to the finals, how did he suddenly die?"
"The Ice Spirit's gone too, was it a surprise steal?"
"......"
Only one spotlight remained lit in the hall.
The defeated lords hadn't left; they stayed to witness who would get the champion's reward.
Though everyone had guessed before, when the result appeared, it dropped every jaw hard.
Under the lone spotlight, that delicate and lovely young girl drew all eyes!
Most present were lords aged fifty, sixty, even seventy or older.
At this level, seeing a young girl was truly rare!
More importantly, she took the final championship... It was like carving their eyes open with a knife!
"Impossible!"
The chubby lord gasped: "My hero scored 17 kills this time!! With that strength, even the Space Wolf could fight him toe to toe, how did he lose?"
The lady in the floral dress blinked, lost in thought.
"Who is she...?"
During the three-way final battle, Her and the chubby lord's spotlights went out almost simultaneously.
The hidden implications
were complicated, even terrifying!
"Damn it..."
"It's over!"
Su Qingxue covered her face, crying.
No matter what calculations she made, she never expected Shen Xuan to win the championship!
This was the level 30 ranking match!
Any lord could easily crush freshmen from twenty batches ago, let alone their strongest level 30 heroes.
No doubt her info would soon be online!
If classmates from the academy recognized her, the Dark Lords would surely sniff it out and come to Sunset Forest looking for targets!
[Hero has left the battlefield, exit the hall?]
Su Qingxue didn't dare linger; the moment the prompt appeared, she vanished from the hall, leaving the lords puzzled.
"There are two possibilities."
"If it wasn't that while your hero was fighting mine, another hero hid in the shadows and finished off my Ice Spirit at the last moment!"
The lady in the floral dress tapped the table lightly and said, "Or... her hero used some skill to simultaneously kill your necromancer and my Ice Spirit!"
Only these two could explain what happened.
And it was terrifying!
Simultaneously killing a level 30 necromancer with over a dozen skeleton guards, and a high-potential elemental controller?
Even the Space Wolf couldn't do that!
"The second point is impossible!"
The chubby lord shook his head: "I suspect her hero is Shadow type, with good stealth! Snuck in at the end and stole the win!"
Throughout Dragon Star, there are many who can kill two heroes simultaneously!
But in the level 30 ranking match? Absolutely none!
"That's not certain!"
"Wait till the heroes revive."
The female lord said meaningfully, "I suggest no one here spread today's events..."
After saying this, her figure dimmed and she left the hall.
"Hopefully... no one stupid enough to do this."
The chubby lord swallowed hard, murmuring, "If it's really her... what's wrong with that brain?"
Both recalled the recent online uproar over the SSS-Tier trial evaluation recipient.
Killed Golden Bimon in 42 minutes!
Absolute power!
If it's possible to level up to the twenties or even thirties quickly, with the special items from the hundredfold treasure chest rewards and personal strength, she could easily dominate the level 30 hero rankings.
But logically... Someone with that evaluation should lay low and hide.
Why come forward actively? What reverse logic is that?
Thinking she might be the one who exposed the SSS-Tier trial winner, the chubby lord shivered and hurriedly left.
...
In the territory, bright moonlight again covered the land.
Su Qingxue was dazed, pinching her slender white leg hard, confirming she wasn't dreaming—her mind was numb.
"I really have to admit, Sneaky player...!"
"Why did he go and participate in the rankings...?"
Thinking of the Dark Lords' methods, Su Qingxue felt her life was doomed.
Victory and defeat are both tied to Shen Xuan!
"Lord."
"Is it time to upgrade?"
Shen Xuan appeared just in time, holding the core stone right under her eyes.
He couldn't wait to see what changes unlocking the second pair of wings would bring!
"I..."
Su Qingxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, taking a deep breath: "I really... really thank you!"
At least, the sneaky angel cared about the territory's development, which was her last comfort!
"You're welcome!"
Shen Xuan replied politely.
Su Qingxue: ...
With the level 2 territory core, all upgrade conditions met.
Su Qingxue first used the territory expansion order to increase the buildable area to 2.5 square kilometers.
On the surface, it looked like a flash of light with no obvious change.
But within this area, she could build any territory buildings without territory size restrictions.
"Zhang San."
Su Qingxue called her militia, "Bring the others over too!"
Zhang San and others ran over, bowing respectfully.
"Lord!"
Su Qingxue ordered, "The territory population will increase to 1,000. Manage it well. When the buildings are ready, I'll upgrade your bloodlines to become special troops!"
From moving in resources, eating dog meat, to ranking battles... Su Qingxue had no time to organize the SSS evaluation rewards well.
After upgrading the territory, she had to plan carefully.
"Bloodline upgrade!"
Zhang San and the militia gasped.
Bloodline potential was innate destiny!
Now the lord said she could upgrade it—how could they not be excited!
"Of course!"
Su Qingxue straightened up, adding, "Thanks to Shen Xuan, I could defeat Bimon and get the troop scroll!"
Though annoying, Shen Xuan needed a positive image in his subordinates' minds!
[Your hero, Shigami Yele, has increased favorability due to your actions!]
