Even the Northern Sky Leader had fallen silent, unable to believe that Lin Han could actually engage in a fierce battle with the Golden Beast in the arena. Was this something a newly awakened individual could achieve just seven days after awakening?
However, despite his unwillingness to accept it, the scene before him forced him to believe. Initially, he had held onto a glimmer of hope, but now he was on the verge of breaking down. As for the bet he had made, it had long been cast aside from his mind.
What truly troubled him was how he would explain this situation to the Dean after returning to North Sky Academy. Just as he pondered this, the Military Academy Head chuckled and said, "I must say, you really have an eye for talent. It’s fortunate that such a promising individual didn’t end up at your North Sky Academy! Otherwise, all that potential would have gone to waste!"
The Northern Sky Academy Head could easily discern the underlying sarcasm in those words. At that moment, the heads of other academies exchanged knowing glances with him.
This old fart! If it weren't for listening to this old guy's advice, they wouldn't be in this predicament now. Everyone was contemplating how to explain things once they returned to their respective academies.
The Old Principal watched this scene unfold, unable to contain his laughter.
Before he learned about Lin Han's true identity as a Beast, he had been in a state of constant frustration, resenting Lin Han for wasting such a remarkable talent.
Watching Lin Han chase after a Golden Beast, he felt a wave of relief wash over him. This was the kind of promising talent that should emerge from their academy, and now the gap in their scores was glaringly apparent.
Lin Han had already amassed over four hundred points, while the second place, Xue Wushuang, had just over three hundred. Meng Ziyao, in third place, barely scraped together a little over one hundred. This was despite the fact that they were all Advanced Talents working together; the fourth place hadn’t even broken ten points yet.
At that moment, there was less than an hour left until the competition ended. After killing a fierce beast, Meng Ziyao wiped the sweat from her brow and looked at her rising score with a sense of pride.
"Almost there! You should be nearing one hundred and ten points by now!"
The few people standing beside Meng Ziyao were already panting heavily. If it weren't for the promise made by the person in charge of North Sky Academy, they certainly wouldn't have pushed themselves so hard.
"Almost done; the competition is about to end. Even if Lin Han could grow three heads and six arms, there's no way he could beat me now!"
Meng Ziyao was filled with confidence. She even looked forward to seeing Lin Han's expression when they met afterward. It would surely be quite entertaining.
"After we help you, our scores have already fallen behind. Just don’t forget our promise!"
"Don’t worry; since Ren has already promised you all, he won’t go back on his word!" Meng Ziyao replied dismissively.
She had no interest in the promises made by these people, especially since it was not something she had agreed to; it had nothing to do with her. As for whether to implement them or not, that was a matter for the Northern Sky Leader. She didn't have that kind of authority; all she cared about was how to surpass Lin Han.
"Alright, let's leave. The competition is about over!"
With that, everyone began to leave in a grand procession, heading towards the exit. It wasn't just this group; many others had realized that there simply wasn't enough time left to hunt down a few more ferocious beasts. They too started to depart.
In the depths of the trial grounds, Lin Han stood panting on the corpse of a Bloodthirsty Mad Wolf, cursing, "You can run pretty well; you’ve exhausted me! What’s wrong? Get up and keep running!"
