Bai Zhijin was also calculating his own, then said with a joyous tone, "I have forty-three."
"What!" Liao Mingliang exclaimed. "How do you have just one more than me? This is outrageous! Old Bai, you sly man, you've been plotting all along to surpass us and show off the strength of a student from a humble background. Now look, you've finally gotten your wish."
Everyone was well aware of this. Since they were close, Liao Mingliang didn't mind and often teased Bai Zhijin about it.
Strictly speaking, this was Bai Zhijin's ambition, which was a good thing.
Bai Zhijin still felt somewhat guilty and snorted. "Waste! You still have a magical item, yet you're not my match. You've completely disgraced the Liao family of Green Python Star."
Everyone laughed together. With so many achievements, placing in the top three was no problem, and everyone was in high spirits.
