……
The counter kept ticking, and the tangible feeling of earning points gave Ye Chuyun a lot of motivation.
Although the first wave of monsters was numerous, their individual strength was simply not enough for Ye Chuyun at this point.
Under Ye Chuyun's fierce sweep, in less than ten minutes, the last ghostly vengeful spirit that tried to escape was also shattered by a bolt of lightning, turning into a +2 point orb.
The wilderness returned to silence for the time being, with only a few embers of flame remaining and the lingering smell of burning in the air.
Ye Chuyun calmed her breathing slightly and quickly glanced at the spoils from the previous round.
According to his rough estimate, each monster contributed an average of 1-2 points, and with thousands of monsters combined, this wave yielded approximately 1500 points.
"The efficiency is a bit low." Ye Chuyun frowned slightly, but then relaxed.
This is just the first wave; it's normal that the monsters are weak and the points are low.
The key is the pattern. As long as the rule of "guaranteed drop rate" remains unchanged, the value of a single point orb will definitely increase as the waves increase and the monsters become stronger.
He didn't have much time to rest because the countdown would soon start again.
[The second wave of monsters is about to spawn! Countdown: 10 seconds!]
Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
Space distorted again, and even more monsters emerged.
In this wave, some skeleton warriors appeared, wielding bone shields and emitting a faint black aura, indicating they had been enhanced.
The demonized jackals are larger, their claws gleaming with a metallic sheen. The number of ghostly spirits has decreased, but shrieking banshees capable of unleashing mental shocks have appeared.
The number of rock behemoths has increased, and even a few lava behemoths that can throw magma fireballs have appeared.
Their overall strength is significantly higher than the first wave, and their numbers have reached nearly two thousand.
"Perfect timing!" Ye Chuyun's eyes sharpened; this time, he changed his strategy.
"【Small Clone Technique】, 100-man squad, activate!"
To maximize monster-clearing efficiency and deal with more monsters and a more dispersed battlefield, Ye Chuyun instantly summoned one hundred clones.
Although its strength is not as great as the main body, it is sufficient to deal with these second waves of monsters when combined with the main body and area-of-effect skills.
After the clone appeared, it immediately dispersed into several small teams under his mental command, and took the initiative to meet the monster in different directions and fight it.
The main body specializes in clearing out those troublesome monsters, while maintaining a large-scale [Thunderfire Purgatory] and constantly moving around to collect the point orbs dropped by monsters killed by the clones.
The existence of clones greatly relieved the pressure on the main body and increased the efficiency of clearing monsters several times over.
This battle lasted for about ten minutes.
When the last lava behemoth's core was shattered by Ye Chuyun's [Eternal Silence Spear], which fused with the power of light and darkness, the battlefield was once again cleared.
After absorbing all the light orbs, Ye Chuyun smiled.
In this wave, the quality of the scoring orbs has significantly improved. Ordinary enhanced skeletons and jackals can yield 2-3 points, while howling banshees and lava behemoths can yield 5-8 points.
Roughly calculated, the second wave contributed about 8000 points, which was much more efficient than the first wave.
"If this trend continues..." Ye Chuyun's confidence grew even stronger.
In the subsequent third, fourth, and fifth waves, the monsters grew stronger and more numerous with each wave, and the respawn intervals became shorter and shorter.
The types of monsters have also begun to change in a more bizarre way: Lurkers with physical damage reduction, Plague Walkers that can cast curses to reduce attributes, and even groups of well-coordinated demon squads have appeared.
The pressure of combat is gradually increasing.
The clones were also frequently consuming mana, and the main body began to use more methods.
Use the Dark World to divide the battlefield and weaken troublesome elite monsters; use the Minor Teleportation Technique to dodge or launch surprise attacks; imbue the power of the Light and Dark Cycle into sword spirits or weapons to increase their lethality against specific monsters.
But Ye Chuyun enjoyed it.
This feeling of not having to hold back, not having to hold back, just going all out and watching the points fly in like snowflakes gave him a unique sense of exhilaration.
Every skill cast and every monster fall was accompanied by the flashing of score orbs. This direct, positive feedback greatly stimulated his senses.
The sixth wave yielded approximately 30000 points.
The seventh wave yielded approximately 50000 points.
With ten minutes remaining in the eighth wave, the monsters' strength increased sharply, and a near-heavenly-level boss appeared, earning approximately 80000 points.
With only three minutes left in the ninth wave, Ye Chuyun used every means to save time and gained approximately 120000 points.
After the last quasi-heavenly-level two-headed hellhound of the ninth wave was eliminated, the total trial time limit also came to an end.
[The time-limited trial has ended!]
[Settlement in progress...]
[Scene: Endless Wasteland]
[Duration: 60 minutes]
[Final Wave: 9]
Total kills: 94728
[Points tally complete: Total Temple Points earned: 258640!]
[Rating: S]
[Bonus Reward: Achieving an S-rank rating grants a 50% reduction in the cooldown time for the [Time-Limited Stage] challenge (limited to the next attempt only).]
Two hundred thousand points, achieved in just one hour.
If others knew that Ye Chuyun had earned over 200,000 points in Mode 3, they would be absolutely astonished.
In Mode 3, for the average person, it's considered good to earn a few thousand points in an hour, tens of thousands of points are considered expert level, and a hundred thousand points is definitely an achievement that only top geniuses or those with special talents can reach.
Ye Chuyun was fairly satisfied with this, after all, it was only the first time she had tried it, and she was not yet very familiar with the monsters and the rhythm.
After he was teleported back to the trial arena hall, he subconsciously looked up at another slightly smaller stone tablet that suddenly appeared on one side of the hall.
[Golden Temple Points Real-Time Leaderboard (Top 1000)]
Upon seeing the rankings, Ye Chuyun's smile instantly froze, and her brows furrowed tightly.
The list features names from various ethnic groups, followed by long scores.

"Over eight billion...over seven billion...over fifty billion, how did these monsters get so many points?"
Ye Chuyun never expected that she, who was often called a prodigy, would one day call someone else a prodigy.
