Meanwhile, in the outside world.
As numerous candidates entered the Illusion Realm.
A giant leaderboard, reminiscent of a celestial ladder chart, appeared in the outside world.
The leaderboard bore no names, just examination numbers.
Each exam number corresponded to a score.
Less than a minute after many students had entered the examination room, an exam number suddenly appeared at the top of the first page.
It jumped every few seconds and continued to leap violently until at last, it surged by 50,000 points, crushing the runner-up with 40,000 points by scoring a total of 71,212 points and securing the top spot.
In reality, atop a mountain 30 kilometers from Iron Rock Pass City.
Gravestones blanketed the mountain like a dense forest of steles.
Each gravestone corresponded to a name.
In the very center, a massive memorial bore three large characters— 'Monument of Heroes'!
On the mountain's flank, a simple cabin stood at the waist of the hill.
