At the same time, all the freshmen around the globe who participated in the first level of the Spirit Realm received a message in their left eye.
[Announcement! The team of Transcendent "Leo" and "Song Haitang," in the first level of the Spirit Realm, has slain 2155 monsters and successfully killed the monster leader, demonstrating exceptional performance and achieving a perfect mission rating: SSS-Rank!!]
This was a super announcement from the Spirit Realm!!
There had been a few instances of S-Rank mission ratings before, but those had always been the first in different Spirit Realms. But an SSS rating—this was a first!
Even the SS rank had never appeared before!
Unprecedented!
Freshmen all over the world stood stunned upon seeing this announcement in their eyes. Soon, roars erupted on major campuses.
"Good heavens! Who are these two?"
"They killed 2155 monsters? They must be absolute monsters themselves!"
"How did they manage it? I've only killed 13!"
"Perfect mission rating? SSS-Rank? That's something new!"
"An achievement like this has never been seen before!"
"I thought S-Rank was the highest mission rating!"
"Good heavens, this is insane!"
"Leo? Song Haitang? Wherever they're from, these names are going to be famous now!"
At campuses across various countries, freshmen who had just returned from the first level of the Spirit Realm were discussing this.
Many teachers were left speechless. They hurriedly reported the news.
For a moment, the names "Song Haitang" and "Leo" shook the world!
The university leaders who had previously courted Song Haitang were filled with regret. If they had been more determined from the start, someone as talented as her wouldn't have been snatched away by that shameless Chicago University.
In the meantime, the most bizarre atmosphere was at Chicago University.
On the playground, freshmen stared in awe at Song Haitang and Leo.
Particularly, Joe Root, his face full of disbelief, stared at Song Haitang.
The students' unusual behavior caught the attention of the teachers and leaders nearby.
"What's going on?" Teacher Shen hurriedly asked.
A female student next to her said, "Teacher, we just got an announcement from the Spirit Realm! Song Haitang and Leo just set a new record… Never mind, let me just send it to you. You should check it out!"
Upon hearing that they had set a new record, Teacher Shen's expression changed to one of surprise.
She immediately went to the student, raised her finger, and tapped it on the student's forehead. In a breath's time, Teacher Shen's face became as shocked as the students.
"Teacher Shen, what happened?" the vice-principal asked, rushing over.
Teacher Shen took a deep breath and loudly replied, "It's an announcement from the Spirit Realm. Students Song Haitang and Leo killed 2155 monsters and successfully defeated the monster leader, achieving a perfect mission rating of: SSS-Rank!"
At once, the teachers and leaders were dumbfounded. Such a mission rating had never been seen before…
"Is that true?" the vice-principal asked, his voice filled with disbelief. "They… made a new record?"
"Yes, Principal," Teacher Shen said. "You can check the announcement information received by other students."
The vice-principal immediately ran off to verify, stopping a student to check their announcement. The other teachers followed suit. The news was truly too shocking, too unbelievable!
Although Song Haitang was a Flare-Flare Fruit ability user with great potential, that was just potential. Before it manifested, she wasn't much stronger than her peers. At most, she could defeat ten classmates.
Yet, this kind of record? It didn't add up!
And the fact that Leo, known as the "trash talent," was her teammate made it even harder to believe.
It didn't make sense!
But the truth was staring them in the face, and they had no choice but to believe it.
A miracle had truly occurred!
At that moment, Teacher Shen came up to Song Haitang and gently said, "Haitang, we need to check your mission settlement panel. The school needs to record your results."
Her tone had softened considerably.
Still confused, Song Haitang nodded and opened her mission settlement panel.
After checking it, Teacher Shen's face lit up with excitement.
"Leo, Song Haitang!" she exclaimed in an impassioned voice, "Number of enemies killed in this Spirit Realm: 2156. Overall Rating: SSS-Rank (First Case)! Overall Ranking: First Place! Historical Ranking: First Place! Basic Reward: 300 Spirit Energy Points (Capped). Additional Reward: 100 Spirit Energy Points (Capped, divided equally between teammates). Perfect Mission Rating Achievement: A Transcendent Treasure Chest (Reward will be distributed upon entering the next level of the Spirit Realm)."
She quickly recited a long list of data.
Everyone around them was dumbfounded.
When they snapped out of it, their gazes turned to envy and jealousy.
A total of 400 Spirit Energy Points as a reward. Even after dividing the additional reward, they would each get 350 Spirit Energy Points—enough to instantly boost their power to transcendent levels!
Not to mention the Transcendent Treasure Chest—a coveted item that contained extremely valuable treasures.
It was clear: this time, both Song Haitang and Leo had struck it rich!
Soon, a crowd of leaders and teachers gathered around Song Haitang, overwhelming her with attention. As for Leo? Well, while he did gain some attention, it was clear that Song Haitang was the star of the show.
Her achievements were undeniable, and Leo understood that it was Song Haitang who would receive the most glory.
After all, Leo didn't care about fame at the moment. His goal was strength. When he became invincible, all the glory would return to him naturally.
Watching Song Haitang being surrounded by people, Leo just smiled faintly. Only he knew the truth: it was he who had contributed the most to this record!
'Not bad! It's good that it didn't crash!' he silently thought.
With a satisfied grin, Leo opened his attribute panel.
Race: Human
Constitution: 300
Spirit: 98
Strength: 300
Agility: 300
Talent: Kryptonian Bloodline
Spirit Energy Points: 350
His panel displayed a total of 350 Spirit Energy Points.
(PS: Fame is temporarily given to Song Haitang, please don't mind, because in the future, she will give birth to a big fat boy and a daughter for Leo…)
As for the other questions raised by everyone, the little author has noted them down. I originally planned to explain them slowly, but since there have been so many questions,
