With the end of the finals, the ranking battle also ushered in the end.

The people were discussing excitedly as they left the arena in an orderly manner.

Unlike ordinary universities, there is no award ceremony or the like in the ranking battle, and the points obtained will be directly transferred to the background of the student's Xingluo system, and the prizes due to them will also be sent directly to the students.

According to the rules of the ranking battle, the first place is rewarded with 300 points, the second place is 200 points, and the rest of the students who enter the top 8 are 100 points.

As for the other rankings in the top 100, there are also different points awards.

In addition, as is customary in previous years, the top 8 students will also receive a special prize from the Academy, which varies from year to year.

Half an hour after the finals, Du Mu quickly received the so-called prize - a very delicate small wooden box.

The wooden box was a little heavy to start with, Du Mu opened it and was surprised to find that there were actually three very familiar exquisite spars inside.

It's a property pyroxene!

And judging from the color, they are one each of the power pyroxene, the agility pyroxene and the constitution pyroxene!

"The prize is actually this?" Du Mu was a little surprised, and muttered to himself, "These pyroxene stones can't be obtained from the Northern Ruins, right?"

"Eighty percent of the time. ”

Luo Shen didn't know when he came to Du Mu's side, and he was also holding a wooden box in his hand, but there was only one agile pyroxene in it.

"After all, pyroxene has only been found in the northern ruins, and these should be what the academy got from the ruins. ”

While speaking, Luo Shen directly picked up the agile pyroxene and took it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Du Mu also swallowed all three pyroxene on the spot, and after a burst of burning and itching, he clearly felt that his body was a little stronger again.

"It's a very peculiar feeling, it's similar to the first time I practiced the Advanced Tuna Technique. Luo Shen was amazed, "The enhancement of a single pill is no worse than that of the second and third doses of strengthening potions, although it only improves agility by one aspect. ”

"It's a pity that in addition to the first and second places, there is only one pyroxene in the top 8. Luo Shen sighed.

Du Mu said with a smile: "When the northern ruins are over, it is estimated that we can exchange them for pyroxene in the academy." ”

Hearing this, Luo Shen said meaningfully: "Maybe you don't have to wait until then." ”

Du Mu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing, I'll just say it casually. Luo Shen smiled and changed the subject: "What's the matter, do you want to go to the shepherd society to cash in the bet now?"

"Hmm. Du Mu bowed his head happily.

This ranking battle can be called a bumper harvest!

With the 300 points rewarded by the chief and the 50 million star yuan paid, he didn't have to worry about the consumption of cultivation resources for a long time to come.

"Speaking of which, find a chance to change the long sword. Du Mu suddenly thought.

His original level 4 long sword, in the duel with Lei Kai just now, was half-damaged and could no longer be used because of the extreme breaking blade.

"Anyway, if you get 50 million star yuan, just change it to a better weapon. ”

Du Mu remembered the crimson that Chi Xiangzhen had in his hand.

The two walked slowly all the way to the Shepherd Club building.

Originally, the payment of gambling bets can be completed through the Internet, but for a large amount of compensation like 5,000 star yuan, according to the rules, you need to register with the headquarters of the shepherd as the banker.

Not surprisingly, after Du Mu and Luo Shen reported their names, the faces of the members of the shepherd society who received them immediately fell, and their attitudes became cold.

Fortunately, they didn't have the courage to deliberately make things difficult, which saved Du Mu a lot of effort.

After the registration was completed, Du Mu's bank card had an extra 50 million star yuan, and he was stunned by a series of zeros.

Luo Shen smiled on the side: "50 million star yuan is used on ordinary martial artists, and it may be able to cultivate for more than ten years, but for you, Amu, I'm afraid it will be used up in less than a year." ”

Du Mu nodded with deep feeling.

A bottle of enhancement potion is worth 100 points, and the market price is 3 million Star Dollars.

And since he entered the school, the materials consumed by his cultivation have been converted into at least a thousand points, and if they are converted into star yuan, it will be more than 30 million, which is only less than half a year's consumption.

Over the course of a year, 50 million star dollars is really not enough!

What's more, the further the martial arts cultivation goes, the more resources will be needed, the value will be more expensive, and if there is not enough financial support, the cultivation efficiency will be affected, causing the strength to stay in place or even decline.

This is one of the reasons why shepherds look down on civilians.

Compared with the children of the big family, the strength of the civilian warriors is more difficult to progress, in addition to cultivating, they also have to bother to earn resources, and over time, the overall strength is naturally far behind the former.

"When I really don't have any money to spare, I can only sell a few more bottles of special nourishing and strengthening potions. Du Mu said secretly in his heart.

That same evening.

Du Mu fell asleep early.

Jumping out of bed, he sat down on the ground in contemplation, having exercised his will as a rule.

After the fog was completely absorbed, the streets outside the apartment, as well as the church area, were now largely useless and of no value.

At present, there are only two places where Du Mu can continue to explore.

One is the school area, where there are still some buildings that have not been explored, and there is a lot of fog, if you absorb it all, it is enough to raise Gray Dream to LV5.

The other is the halo at the end of the street on the right.

Guarding in front of the halo is a guardian with a combat strength of more than 200.

In the past, when Du Mu discovered that halo, his strength was still very weak, so he naturally didn't dare to provoke the guard, so he could only ignore the halo.

But now it's different, a guardian with more than 200 combat power is no different from an ant to him, and he can kill it at will.

After thinking about it for a long time, Du Mu finally decided to finish exploring the school area first, and absorb all the mist before entering a new halo.

After all, it is not yet known what kind of place the area behind the halo is, so for the sake of safety, it is better to wait for all the gains in the school area to be transformed into strength before exploring.

With a plan in his heart, Du Mu directly took out a black sword and left the apartment and walked outside.

School playgrounds.

Du Mu came back to his senses and was already standing on the gray turf, with a gentle touch under his feet.

"It seems that the trance feeling when passing through the halo is a little lighter. ”

Recalling the feeling a moment ago, Du Mu showed a thoughtful look.

As his strength grew, he no longer had the complete loss of control over his body as he had ever done when he passed through the halo.

Although it can only control a small part, at least it is no longer 'involuntary'.

Taking a deep breath to dispel the trance in his head, Du Mu looked up,

The spacious plastic runway is sprinkled with a little moonlight, and the two layers of gray and white are superimposed, giving people an eerie and lonely feeling.

Fortunately, he had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and calmly walked through the runway and stepped into the square.

The statue of a smiling man in a suit stands in the middle of the square, as always, with a hazy metallic sheen in the moonlight.

When he passed by the statue, Du Mu suddenly stopped, frowned and looked up.

For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly felt that this statue had a faint sense of incongruity.

"It's strange, I didn't feel this way before. Du Mu frowned slightly, and said secretly.

After looking at it for a moment, he still didn't see anything strange about the statue, so he shook his head and turned away.

After a short time, Du Mu came to the atrium of the teaching building, walked around, and finally chose a place with more lush vegetation and prepared to use it as a battle site.

Every time the fog is absorbed, the nightmare creatures that appear are dozens of hits behind, and fighting in a spacious place can easily fall into a dense siege.

If there is vegetation around to resist, Du Mu will have much more room for defense.

After the preparation, Du Mu did not delay any longer, and directly summoned the gray dream to cover his whole body, condensed into a gray and white armor, and immediately three whirlpools appeared on his back, and began to frantically absorb the surrounding mist.

As his perception improved, Du Mu gradually found that while using Gray Dream to fight, the number of vortices he could control also increased.

The fog is now absorbed two or three times as fast as before.

This is undoubtedly a good thing, but it also means that nightmare creatures will appear and increase their strength much faster than before.

The moment the fog surged and submerged into the whirlpool behind Du Mu, there was a sudden roar inside the teaching building.

If you look closely, it seems to be the sound of pushing the door hard.

Du Mu looked intently, on the first floor of the teaching building, the door of the classroom that was originally closed was shaking violently at the moment, as if someone was slamming the door frantically inside, intending to break out.

More than ten seconds later, with a loud bang, the door of one of the classrooms collapsed suddenly, and the pretender with a large number of muscles and blood vessels exposed suddenly rushed out, and after looking around, his bare eyes quickly locked on Du Mu in the center of the courtyard.

The next moment they all took steps and galloped towards him like sturdy cheetahs.

Du Mu glanced around and found that most of the attacking pretenders had a combat strength between 130 and 140, and he couldn't help but be sure.

As soon as he raised his arm, the long sword swung out, and in an instant, the shadow of the sword pierced down from the sky, facing the rushing pretenders.

......

For the next ten days, after Du Mu fell asleep at night, he basically stayed in the teaching building, absorbing the fog while hunting the pretenders who rushed out of the classroom.

As the absorption of fog increases, so does the strength of the pretenders that appear.

Most of the Pretenders on the first floor have less than 200 combat power, and by the second layer, the Pretenders have more than 300 combat power.

And on the evening of the tenth day, among the pretenders who rushed down from the third floor of the teaching building, there was even a presence with a combat strength of up to 450.

If Du Mu hadn't mastered the gray dream, he really wouldn't have dared to face the siege of more than twenty pretenders with 450 combat strength at the same time.

On the other hand, Du Mu finally absorbed enough mist and successfully advanced Gray Dream's experience points to the 1000 mark.

'Gray Dream LV5 [8/2000] (Isolation, Assimilation 、???)'

What surprised him was that in addition to isolation, the gray dream that had been upgraded to LV5 actually had new characteristics.
