Li Yuan, hidden in the cave, remained secluded, without a bit of movement.
The monitoring drone kept watch outside the cave but could not see inside.
"Could it be, has something happened to Li Yuan?" President Li's eyes revealed a hint of concern.
"The drone has been monitoring; no alien race has appeared." Dean Xu shook his head and said, "The locator ring shows he is still in the cave, and his life signal is stable... there are no problems."
"Then why hasn't he come out yet?" President Li became somewhat anxious, "The class points have been thoroughly outpaced by Yang Hong and Wu Luo."
As vice presidents, they could check the points ranking of every grade and every base in the school at any time.
For example, the freshmen.
Even though they were in different combat assessment areas like Base One, Base Two, and Base Four, they would have a common class points ranking.
High class ranking meant rewards.
High base ranking also meant rewards.
"As long as he is not in life-threatening danger, we cannot intervene with the combat assessment." Dean Xu shook his head and said, "Let's wait patiently."
"Mm." President Li could only wait.
Time reached noon, twelve o'clock.
Li Yuan still had not emerged from the cave, and the combat assessment time had already passed 24 hours.
"The combat assessment for Base One and Base Two has ended." Dean Xu suddenly spoke up.
The combat assessment for Base One and Base Two lasted only one day.
Base Three and Four lasted two days.
Base Five would last three days.
"Understood." President Li spoke in a subdued voice, his gaze fixed on the screen.
At this moment, he felt the impulse to rush into the combat assessment base and drag Li Yuan out of the cave.
He was keen to ask Li Yuan, what exactly did he plan on doing?
The Star Realm of Base Two.
"Wu Luo." Yang Hong, carrying a battle axe, stepped off the aircraft and immediately saw Wu Luo, covered in blood, walking over from a distance.
Yang Hong approached him proactively.
"This time, it's still me who has won."
Yang Hong grinned with a slight smile, "In this combat assessment, among the freshmen, I am number one in points."
After 24 hours of fighting and slaughtering, he didn't rest even at night, madly hunting for prey.
In the end, scoring 196 points, he not only ranked first in the grade.
But also broke into the top thirty among the over one thousand students of Base Two.
Keep in mind, Base Two primarily consisted of sophomores.
This shows how hard-fighting Yang Hong was.
Wu Luo scored only 171 points, second among the freshmen, but the gap in points was clear.
"First?" Wu Luo scoffed, "You're relentless; I'm not as crazy as you, but do you really think you've secured the win?"
Yang Hong was taken aback for a moment.
"Idiot." Wu Luo scoffed coldly, "Li Yuan is in Base Four, and the Star Realm Creatures there are much tougher. Killing creatures of the same score as us in Base Two is much more difficult... but they have one more day of assessment time."
"He still has 24 hours."
"You're the idiot." Yang Hong said with disdain, "I've been monitoring Li Yuan's score; it surged sharply at the start yesterday."
"But from five o'clock yesterday afternoon until now, his score hasn't increased at all."
"Although he has not withdrawn from the combat assessment, I guess he is injured."
"After all, Base Four is basically full of juniors and even seniors; he is far behind in physical quality, very dangerous."
"The longer the delay, the fewer Star Realm creatures there are...even if he isn't injured, trying to catch up by more than a hundred points in one day? It's almost impossible." Yang Hong was quite confident.
"Wait and see." Wu Luo laughed coldly, although he had actually acknowledged Yang Hong's judgment in his heart.
Wu Luo admired Li Yuan because Li Yuan was indeed too strong, far surpassing him in strength.
But as for Yang Hong?
Wu Luo was not convinced.
The two had always been in covert contention, competing for the title of the 'second man' of the freshmen.
If Yang Hong and Wu Luo could still view Li Yuan's score calmly,
Then at the Star Realm of Base One, when the freshmen gathered in the square, it was filled with discussions.
"Li Yuan, how come he only has a little over fifty points?"
"It's been a whole day."
"Yang Hong is at Base Two, he's slaughtered his way to almost 200 points, raising the collective points of the Sixth Institute by a significant margin."
"Could it be, for this combat assessment, will the collective total score of the Sixth Institute take first place?" The freshmen of each institute discussed among themselves, all focused on the collective scores.
Except for Li Yuan, all the freshmen's scores had already been finalized.
The freshmen institute rankings:
First place: Sixth Institute (4031 points)
Second place: Fifth Institute (3951 points)
Third place: Sixth Institute (3931 points)
Fourth place: Seventh Institute (3874 points)
The gap in total scores between each institute was not large.
Kunlun Martial University had already arranged the difficulty levels accordingly.
Under normal circumstances, more than one-third of students would withdraw midway through the assessment.
Even if they could complete the combat assessment, most would score only around twenty to thirty points.
In the rest area of Base One, the gathering place of the freshmen of the Sixth Institute.
"Our Sixth Institute's total score is only 100 points behind the Third Institute."
"It's much smaller than the gap during the entrance competition."
"Now we're in third place, not bad."
"Why does our senior brother only have a little over 50 points? Wasn't it said yesterday that he could get 200 points? Yang Hong at Base Two got 196 points."
"Idiot? That's Base Four, the participants are all juniors and seniors, do you think scoring 200 points is so easy? If it were you, surviving for half an hour would already be quite an achievement."
"It's really unfair! If the senior brother was also in Base Two, he might have scored 300 or even 400 points; how could it have been Yang Hong's turn to act so arrogantly." The freshmen of the Sixth Institute discussed among themselves.
"That's the rule of the school."
"On the first day, the senior brother only got a little over 50 points; can he reach 190 points on the second day?"
"Difficult, as the combat assessment proceeds, there are fewer and fewer Star Realm creatures; scoring points is harder." No one truly blamed Li Yuan for scoring low.
Most people were well aware of the difficulty in Base Four.
