Chapter 477 - 218: Labyrinth’s Finale, First on Both Leaderboards
Chapter 477: Chapter 218: Labyrinth’s Finale, First on Both Leaderboards
It was Lin Ye.
Before entering the labyrinth, he had left several fly minions in the camp.
Now, with a single [Castling], Lin Ye teleported directly from the depths of the labyrinth back to the starting point.
This sudden scene startled the military personnel and Martial Hall members who were busy nearby.
And at the very moment Lin Ye appeared.
BZZZT—
Inside the camp, the terminals on the wrists of every member from Firewood and Kunlun Martial Halls began to vibrate violently in unison.
[Preliminary Mission Complete!]
[Calculating mission results...]
Two enormous, illusory screens of light unfolded out of thin air in front of everyone, with streams of golden data refreshing at high speed.
Finally, they solidified into two crystal-clear leaderboards, capturing everyone’s attention.
On the left was the individual points leaderboard.
On the right was the team total points leaderboard.
The data on the individual leaderboard slowly materialized.
[First Place: Zhang Daoming (Kunlun) — Points: 325,670]
[Second Place: Jiang Fan (Kunlun) — Points: 67,490]
[Third Place: Hu Dahai (Xinhuo) — Points: 65,580]
In an instant, everyone’s heart sank.
’This can’t be right!’
’Why is Zhang Daoming still first?!’
Just as all the members of Xinhuo began to seethe with righteous indignation, ready to demand an explanation from headquarters and the higher-ups.
The data on the light screen began to flicker and refresh frantically!
On the individual points leaderboard, Zhang Daoming, who had been sitting high at the top, had his name and score instantly pushed down to second place.
A brand-new name appeared at the top with an incomparably domineering presence, as if dropping from the sky!
[First Place: Lin Ye (Firewood Martial Hall), Points: ???]
The string of question marks left everyone stunned.
’What’s going on? Did the system bug out?’
Before anyone could react, the string of question marks flashed, and finally, an astronomical number that was enough to make everyone’s brain crash appeared!
[First Place: Lin Ye (Firewood Martial Hall), Points: 94,356,880]
"Hiss—"
The sound of sharp, indrawn breaths rose and fell throughout the crowd.
Ninety-four million, three hundred and fifty thousand?!
Everyone’s scalp tingled from the shock of this number, their eyes wide as saucers.
But what was even more visually stunning was the bar graph representing the point values.
The golden bar representing Zhang Daoming’s three hundred thousand-plus points had originally seemed quite impressive.
But after the bar representing Lin Ye’s points was officially calculated...
Lin Ye’s bar shot up, a single pillar holding up the heavens!
It almost broke through the top of the light screen, as if it were about to pierce the very sky!
The other competitors’ bars had been reduced to barely visible dots.
"Oh my god..."
"Did... Did he slaughter every single non-human in the entire labyrinth?!"
"Over ninety million... Is that a fucking score a human can even get?!"
The members of Firewood Martial Hall who had been eliminated earlier and were recuperating in the temporary camp were all dumbfounded.
Then they looked at each other, and saw ecstatic joy in each other’s eyes.
On the other side, the members of Kunlun Martial Hall were ashen-faced, their eyes vacant.
The last shred of hope in their hearts was utterly crushed.
The gap... was too vast.
So vast that they couldn’t even feel envy, only endless awe and despair.
Next, the team total points leaderboard on the right showed no surprises.
[Firewood Martial Hall, Total Points: 95,196,630]
[Kunlun Martial Hall, Total Points: 1,558,450]
Kunlun Martial Hall’s total score wasn’t even a fraction of Firewood Martial Hall’s.
It was a complete and utter rout!
Although the points and mission had been settled, no one forgot that the rift was about to close.
Everyone still boarded the aircraft as quickly as possible.
The aircraft took off, soaring into the sky at great speed.
Lin Ye glanced down at the dead planet below.
Who could have imagined that such a terrifying and complex labyrinth was hidden beneath a dead planet like this one.
And its core was a whole other world!
With a violent jolt and a feeling of weightlessness, the aircraft passed through the extremely unstable spatial rift.
Familiar sunlight shone in through the porthole.
The feeling of returning to Earth caused a moment of discomfort for these Martial Artists who had spent seven or eight days inside the rift.
It was mainly due to the difference in gravity.
The gravity in the Painful Labyrinth was too weak.
Lin Ye stood by the porthole and looked back.
He saw the spatial rift in mid-air rapidly shrinking and closing.
Finally, it became a microscopic singularity and vanished completely into the azure sky.
He closed his eyes and focused his senses.
His mental link with the tens of thousands of minions left behind in the rift had not been completely severed.
It just felt like it was obscured by a thick screen, making it faint and distant.
But he was certain that if he wanted to, he could still use [Castling] to instantly tear open space and return to the Painful Labyrinth.
Before long, the aircraft landed.
The moment Lin Ye stepped out of the cabin, he saw Qin Yue waiting to welcome him with a smile.
"Lin Ye, we really owe you big time for this!"
"It was a rocky road, but you managed to complete the mission perfectly in the end."
"I can’t believe it. You’ve just joined the Martial Hall, and your record already boasts several Righteous Fire Marks, plus a perfect completion of a B-rank mission!"
"Come on! Let’s head back to the Martial Hall to claim your rewards! You’re the undisputed MVP this time. You alone will get fifty uses of that All-Seeing Instrument!"
As Qin Yue was speaking, a series of system notifications also sounded in Lin Ye’s mind.
[Ding!]
[Race Advancement Mission: Goblin King, Complete!]
[Mission Rewards: +750,000 EXP, +5 Skill Points. Your race template has officially advanced to: Goblin King!]
[Your All Attributes growth rate has increased to 7.5!]
[You have unlocked Growth Tendency Selection: You can choose one preferred attribute and increase its growth rate up to 9.0 by lowering the growth rates of other attributes!]
[You have unlocked a new P3 Phase skill: King’s Grace! It can now be activated by consuming Skill Points!]
Lin Ye’s heart stirred.
The increase in his All Attributes growth rate was within his expectations.
But this "Growth Tendency Selection" was a new feature he hadn’t seen before.
After a moment of thought, Lin Ye made his decision.
For him now, the Spirit attribute had become more important than the other three basic attributes in order to command his ever-growing Claw and Fang Legion.
Lin Ye ended up lowering the growth rates for his Strength, Agility, and Endurance attributes from 7.5 to 7.0.
Then, he added all the deducted growth rate points to his Spirit attribute!
[Setup successful! Your Spirit attribute growth rate has been increased to 9.0!]
Lin Ye felt his Sea of Consciousness suddenly expand, its scale more than doubling in size!
The heavy feeling and mental burden from supporting his lord-class minions were instantly diluted by nearly half. Although still present, they were no longer as pronounced.
With a thought, he called up his personal status panel.

Looking at the skyrocketing Spirit attribute on his panel and the nearly full experience bar, Lin Ye felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
This trip into the rift had been immensely rewarding!
Then, Lin Ye’s attention finally landed on the newly unlocked skill that was still grayed out.
King’s Grace!
