The onlookers were speechless.
They had all concluded that the race was going to end, and had even started spreading the word. Who would have thought that such a change would occur?
Seeing this, Zhao Ning uttered another string of disgusting remarks: "It's disgusting, like opening the door to disgusting things."
Li Tianguo, amused, countered with a straight man's line: "How so?"
Zhao Ning exclaimed angrily, "That's absolutely disgusting!"
Li Tianguo was both amused and exasperated. Although he felt sorry for Wu Mu in the arena, he didn't think Xia Lingjun's actions were particularly wrong.
Ultimately, it's just a difference in perspective.
If he were in Xia Lingjun's position, he might not have done any better.
Regardless of what happened before, at least this last series of actions was quite skillful, with excellent timing and execution, befitting the status of a top-tier second-generation heir.
Xia Lingjun, who was in the arena, was now overjoyed.
"Ninety-nine! So what if it's ninety-nine?"
Xia Lingjun's eyes lit up: "As long as you can't finish the track, you have to wait patiently for the end of the track. Once you're in the end of the track, there's no difference between ninety-nine and ninety!"
"No, there is still a difference."
"You've exhausted all options at 99, leaving no room for change. But if you're 90, there's still a considerable amount of room for maneuver!"
"I only have 87 achievement points now, which gives me more room to maneuver. I can devise a series of plans to ensure you die a worthy death!"
To put it simply, it boils down to four words: the advantage of being a latecomer.
This is also determined by the characteristics of the endgame. Contrary to most people's intuition, once the endgame is triggered, the side with higher achievement points is actually the weaker side.
A large ship is hard to turn around, especially in the current situation, with a whopping 99 achievement points, and the protagonist already unjustly killed, there is no room for adjustment.
For Xia Lingjun, who strikes back after the opponent has made a move, this is no longer a game against someone, but rather a ready-made test.
He can win the game as long as he writes down the answer.
This difficulty level is more than an order of magnitude lower than the normal end of the race; it's practically a free win.
Xia Lingjun became more and more excited as she thought about it.
He suddenly realized that the other side was the perfect assist!
Imagine if such a dark horse hadn't emerged; it would have been a long time before he could have ended the race on his own, with huge uncertainties along the way.
After all, although he was ranked number one, Li Tianguo and Zhao Ning were not to be underestimated. If he were to go to the final match against either of them, he would not have a good chance of winning.
In contrast, things have become much simpler now.
If he's the first to reach the end of the race, he's guaranteed a win!
Just as Xia Lingjun was full of confidence and preparing to learn some experience from the other side and take the lead in raising her achievement points to ninety, a strange change suddenly occurred in the sand table that should have been the final judgment.
"My hair stands on end in anger, as I lean against the railing, the rain has just stopped..."
"Don't let your youthful years slip by in vain, only to be filled with regret later..."
"With lofty ambitions, we'll feast on the flesh of the barbarians when we're hungry, and laughingly drink their blood when we're thirsty."
"Let us start anew, reclaim our lost lands, and return to the imperial palace."
Xia Lingjun immediately sensed something was wrong, and her face froze instantly.
As expected, amidst the audience's amazement, a rendition of "Man Jiang Hong" brought the race to a close.
The generals' track was closed, and Xia Lingjun was forcibly teleported out, looking utterly defeated.
At the same time, the track finisher leaderboard above the track lobby is updated.
"The ultimate warrior race winner, Itsuki."
Li Tianguo's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "From today onwards, this poem 'Man Jiang Hong' will surely spread throughout Tian County, and this Wu Mu is going to become famous."
Zhao Ning's eyes gleamed: "Where is this person? I'd like to make his acquaintance!"
Li Tianguo gave a helpless, wry smile: "It might be difficult to find."
Even so, he still followed Zhao Ning in searching everywhere.
At this moment, it wasn't just the two of them searching for Itsuki; everyone in the entire racetrack hall was looking around.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a single person in sight.
Li Tianguo had anticipated this, and pondered, "Qin Shengjie, Tang Qingxue, Ruan Qingfeng, Du Wei, and now Wu Mu, why don't the current track terminators show up?"
Zhao Ning blurted out, "What else could it be? They just don't want to. Not everyone wants to be in the public eye and be so high-profile."
Li Tianguo continued, "Such people do exist, but they are still a minority. Have there ever been so many of them appearing all at once before?"
"That's not true."
Zhao Ning was immediately stumped by the question: "But why?"
Li Tianguo said meaningfully, "Yes, why is that?"
This was a question not only he was asking, but also all the noble families of Tianjun were asking at this moment, and it had even been placed on the round table of the Heavenly Palace.
In front of a group of powerful families, Liu Aozhi, the current Grand Steward of Tianjun, asked loudly:
"Is it possible that all these cases are not isolated incidents, but rather that someone or some organization has found a fatal loophole in the track and is using this method to steal the track rewards that should belong to everyone?"
Upon hearing this, all the bigwigs became alert.
The track rewards are their core business. Any other force that gets involved, except for members of their elite family circle, is declaring war on the entire Tianjun elite family!
This is a red line that no one can tolerate.
Yuan Boxi, the head of the Yuan family, frowned and said, "There are only a handful of people with this strength. Is it the Heavenly Dao Academy, the Stone Alliance, or that Righteous Alliance that suddenly appeared?"
"They don't seem quite right."
A powerful family elder shook his head: "The Heavenly Dao Academy and the Stone Alliance have been coexisting peacefully for so many years. They have their own businesses and don't need to resort to such underhanded tactics."
Everyone nodded.
Tianjun has the foundation of the role-playing track, while Stone Alliance has a monopoly on Originium. Their overall production capacity is there, and they are not inferior to them.
As for the Heavenly Dao Academy, it is even more unfathomable.
What outsiders see of the Heavenly Dao Academy is not even the tip of the iceberg; at best, it is just a facade to deceive people.
As for the legendary Inner Heaven Dao Academy, ordinary people have no way of knowing about it.
Not to mention outsiders, even among students of the Heavenly Dao Academy, very few have this opportunity.
"To be honest, this suddenly appearing alliance is indeed a bit strange."
Yuan Boxi glanced at everyone and said, "I suggest we investigate this thoroughly."
Liu Aozhi nodded and said, "The Dog Group is already investigating. It's only a matter of time before they uncover the secrets of this Righteous Alliance."
"However, the most urgent task now is to stop the loss. If we continue to let them poach our talent so brazenly, it will ultimately be a loss for the entire Tianjun County."
Everyone agreed.
On the surface, it seems that whenever a track is broken, a new track will appear, it's just a matter of changing the achievement.
Taking the Emperor track as an example, the first emperor with a thousand-year legacy of great achievements has just finished his reign, and immediately a track for a tyrannical ruler who will be remembered for his infamy has emerged.
