Chapter 72: The Carnage
The competition within the hunting grounds had reached a fever pitch, with participants fighting tooth and nail to earn points and claim glory. On the leaderboard, names flashed in rapid succession as cultivators bested each other in battle. Ye Chen, despite his earlier struggles, had managed to climb to the 7th spot, a feat that surprised many.

His total points had soared, catching the attention of the other competitors and spectators alike.
"Ye Chen… in the top 10?" murmured one onlooker in disbelief as the leaderboard updated. "Isn't he just a new disciple? How did he manage to reach the 7th spot so quickly?"
