The military didn’t keep everyone waiting long. When the time struck 1:00 sharp, everyone felt their Communication Wristwatch vibrate, and then 100 red dots appeared on the map.

After getting a clear look at the red dots on the map, almost everyone blinked, suspecting they were seeing things.

The red dots on the map now were vastly different from their initial, uniform distribution across the city center. Many of the red dots had already left the centermost region and begun to migrate outward.

A dozen or so red dots had even left the city center’s boundaries entirely, moving into the wider urban district.

Clearly, these were teams that had obtained Energy Balls and were unwilling to remain and fight, choosing instead to flee to the urban district to hide.

After all, the urban district was much larger than the city center. Combined with the lower number of Zombies, the danger was reduced, which made it easier for them to hide and escape.

Of course, this wasn’t what surprised everyone. What shocked them was that a full 13 red dots were clustered tightly together.

Moreover, they could see that this cluster of 13 red dots was moving at an extremely high speed, closing in on the nearest lone red dot.

Seeing such speed, no one doubted that this was definitely the "lucky one" who had obtained five Energy Balls at the very start.

And now, this "lucky one" was completely shattering their assumptions.

After all, in just one short hour, the number of Energy Balls in their possession had astonishingly increased by a full eight.

This was an absolutely terrifying number.

Keep in mind that for other teams, even those led by top-tier geniuses, snatching a single Energy Ball was no simple feat.

Looking across the entire map, only five teams had managed to increase their count to two Energy Balls.

As for any teams with three Energy Balls, there were none to be found.

Perhaps some of these five teams could seize this opportunity, with the locations revealed, to snatch another Energy Ball.

But that was nothing compared to the "lucky one," who had already seized 13 Energy Balls.

Moreover, they led entire teams to snatch Energy Balls, but that "lucky one" was doing it all alone.

Even if they had some special method to carry a few extra people while maintaining such incredible speed...

...even so, it would be two or three people at most, and that small a number would be of little use.

No one could figure it out. How did this person, with so few allies, manage to snatch a full eight Energy Balls in just one short hour?

Just how terrifying was their strength?

...

"Damn it, who the hell is this person?" Yan Feijie muttered in a district of the city center, staring at the red dots on his Communication Wristwatch with a look of pure frustration.

He was still firmly in second place on the Points leaderboard and had already obtained two Energy Balls.

’In my mind, if things go smoothly over the next day or so, I might be able to get more than fifteen Energy Balls.’

’In that case, I might have a chance to catch up to Lin Xinghai in first place on the Points leaderboard.’

’After all, Lin Xinghai’s team is too small. They have no real ability to fight for Energy Balls and could be easily shut down and contained by other people’s Superpowers.’

However, while his own road to catching Lin Xinghai was still long and arduous, another, even more monstrous person had suddenly appeared, collecting 13 Energy Balls in just one short hour.

That was equivalent to 130,000 Points!

This was undoubtedly another monster on par with Lin Xinghai.

Yan Feijie, who had always considered himself a chosen one, had suffered one blow after another over the past two days, to the point that he was even beginning to doubt himself.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one feeling this way. Other top-tier geniuses, like Zheng Yuan, Hong Xiuyuan, and Jiang Zijin—all of whom had been hailed as likely champions before the assessment began—had suffered a considerable blow as well.

They had been completely overshadowed by Lin Xinghai’s brilliance before. Now that they had finally reached the stage of competing for Energy Balls, a Speed-type expert had suddenly appeared and ground their confidence into the dust all over again.

But even so, no one connected this newly emerged Speed-type Superpower User with Lin Xinghai.

Ultimately, it was because Lin Xinghai’s insane point-farming spree over the first two days had convinced everyone that he was an expert specializing in direct, overwhelming assaults.

This was a world away from an agile Superpower User who excelled at ambushes and hit-and-run tactics.

Of course, while some were indignant and baffled, feeling that such a Demon shouldn’t even exist, others seemed completely unsurprised by the current scene.

For example, Qiu Liang, Qian Haoran, and the other teams that Lin Xinghai had already dealt with.

After witnessing how terrifying Lin Xinghai was, none of them believed that any team could withstand his assault.

After all, his Gun Technique defied all logic, and when combined with his unparalleled Speed, he was basically a bug in the system.

As for the teams who had their Energy Balls stolen, there was only one thing they were curious about now: when on earth would Lin Xinghai finally stop?

While some worried, others were naturally delighted. When Liu Miaomiao and her group saw the 13 red dots, they all breathed a secret sigh of relief.

Not long after the scramble began, Lin Xinghai had obtained five Energy Balls, but in the eyes of Liu Miaomiao and the others, that didn’t really prove much.

They all knew Lin Xinghai possessed terrifying Speed; as long as he was fast enough, he was more than capable of collecting that many Energy Balls before anyone else could even react.

But for the number of Energy Balls in Lin Xinghai’s hands to have increased by another eight within this hour—that was a different matter entirely.

These were Energy Balls snatched from other teams. This undoubtedly proved that Lin Xinghai’s plan was perfectly viable. Moreover, the fact that he’d obtained so many meant he probably hadn’t encountered much difficulty.

...

At this moment, regardless of what the examinees watching this scene were thinking, Lin Xinghai’s plan would not change for anyone.

As everyone watched, the cluster of 13 red dots on the map moved at an incredible speed, caught up to the nearest lone red dot, and then merged with it.

The minute passed quickly, and all the red dots on the map vanished. The examinees had no way of knowing the final outcome.

However, no one was optimistic about the target’s chances.

Now that everyone knew the "lucky one" was actually a terrifying expert, whenever teams encountered each other, they would first ask for information about this mysterious powerhouse, regardless of whether a fight broke out.

After all, for anyone who wanted to compete for the Energy Balls, this person was an insurmountable mountain.

At first, no one could find out anything. After all, the teams that had been robbed by Lin Xinghai all hoped others would suffer the same fate.

But secrets can’t be kept forever. When some teams started offering rewards for information on the mysterious expert, one team finally gave in to the temptation and leaked the news about Lin Xinghai.
