One small spiritual attack easily dismantled the seas of consciousness of several Undying Mud Leeches—they rolled their eyes and instantly dropped weakly to the ground!
“Ding! 1 Undying Mud Leech killed. 9,400,000 gold coins gained!”
“It died?”
Meng Lei’s spirit was greatly revived, and he continued attacking.
Bump, bump, bump...
Undying Mud Leeches fell in waves like harvested crops. In a short while, all the Undying Mud Leeches died.
“Ding! 1 Undying Mud Leech killed, 9,490,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Undying Mud Leech killed, 9,620,000 gold coins gained!”
The system’s cue tones kept sounding. Meng Lei looked at the Undying Mud Leeches’ corpses that crashed into the mud pond and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Ol’ President, now I finally understand why everyone said the Dragon God Tower is difficult to venture through.
“The first 10 levels are easy.
“At the 11th level, Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts start to appear, and the difficulty level slowly starts to increase.
“At the 21st level, there are more and more Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts, and they are harder and harder to deal with. The difficulty level increases exponentially.
“Below the Saint Domain level, it is hard for someone to even go past 25 levels!”
“You’ve finally realized it!” Ol’ Amos chuckled and said, “The first 10 levels are easy, so ordinary geniuses can get past them with a bit more effort.
“From the 11th level onward, it gets a bit hard. 90% of exchange competition participants would be stuck in these 10 levels and find it hard to make the slightest progress.
“As for the 21st to the 30th level, especially the higher 5 levels, they are almost impossible for Ninth-Grade experts to pass through.
“Faced with Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts that are astounding in numbers and are super hard to deal with, even pureblood Colossal Dragons have to fail!”
“Indeed!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly.
“So, usually people who can pass through the first 30 levels mostly are in Saint Domain, or have the battle power of Saint Domain.” Ol’ Amos smiled and said, “To be able to reach here, one would be good enough to be listed on the Dragon God Genius Ranking!”
(⊙o⊙)
Meng Lei was stunned. He said with surprise, “Which means my name has already appeared on the Dragon God Genius Ranking?”
“Yes!”
Chapter 149: Ranked 469th, Second In History

It was currently 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon and seven to eight hours since Meng Lei and the others had entered the Dragon God Tower.
After Dragon God Academy played host to the teachers-in-charge and held a welcoming banquet in their name, the teachers also began their own leisure time.
Some of the teachers went directly to the Dragon God Tower. Among them were President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president.
Had it been during the past years, there wouldn’t have been anything much to watch. After all, it wasn’t like there were any decent geniuses around. What was the point of watching others’ performances?
However, that wasn’t the case this year. There was much to look forward to!
“Given Meng Lei’s strength, if he stays somewhat careful and cautious, there won’t be much of a problem for him to pass through the first 30 levels. It’s enough for him to place in the ranking.”
“Instead of 30 levels, he just needs to pass through 22 levels, and he’ll have a chance of placing in the ranking. There’s also much hope for that Francis kid...”
President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president idly chatted the whole way idly as they headed over. Soon, they reached the Dragon God Tower.
At that moment, the area in front of the Dragon God Tower was already packed with people. They gesticulated and speculated among themselves, creating quite the lively atmosphere.
“What the heck? The contestants from the 15 kingdoms and 48 dukedoms are really impressive this time! Quite a few have actually made it into the ranking!”
“Isn’t that so? The most impressive one is already ranked 487th. That’s 487th in history! How awesome!”
“Tsk, tsk. They passed through the 30th level so easily. Impressive!”
“If I recall correctly, it hasn’t even been eight hours since they entered the Dragon God Tower, right?”
“Seems like it...”
Upon hearing their speculations, President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president both looked at the huge magic screen, and then their gaze slowly went all the way up.
“No. 972: Francis Matthew, Frost Dragon Person, 28 years old, Level 23”
“Did you see that? As expected, Francis has made it into the ranking!” President Fred remarked cheerfully, “That little fellow is certainly not bad. He didn’t disgrace you!”
“He’s alright, I guess. He can’t compare to Meng Lei!”
The Fighting Dragon Academy president adopted an awfully humble attitude. However, he couldn’t hide the smile on his lips, no matter what he did. One mustn’t be fooled by how the 972nd placement seemed rather low—it was more than enough to prove Francis’ shocking talent!
One must know that the Dragon God Genius Ranking was a ranking in which all geniuses competed against one another on the same platform in the recent 40,000-odd years.
Choosing 1,000 people over the course of 40,000 years—just how fierce was the competition? Just how many people desired to place in the ranking, yet failed?
Being able to make it into the ranking was the symbol of one’s strength itself.
Being able to make it into the ranking was the symbol of one’s talent itself.
It was no exaggeration to say that every one of those that could place in the ranking was a genius whose name would remain forever in history.
They had enormous potential, and the Saint Domain realm was within sight for them.
