The event came to an end.
The moment it concluded, countless class users collapsed onto the ground without a shred of decorum. Some simply laid back and went straight to sleep, leaving everything else for after they woke up.
In Yu Xian's inventory, there were now sixty-five Talent Trait Enhancement Stones—a truly bountiful haul.
Right then, the iridescent light in the sky slowly converged, replaced by an enormous sky canopy across which densely packed lines of text appeared. It was the event's contribution leaderboard.

Though the class users had seen the staggering scores of the top ten countless times over the past few days, looking at the totals on the overall leaderboard still left many of them incredulous.
They had ground desperately for three days, farming Great Dao True Beasts day and night, yet their total scores couldn't even match the spare change of the big shots up top.
Yu Xian, in particular, held an insurmountable lead. Second-place Gong Yinhu didn't even have a fourth of his contribution points. It was completely absurd.
"Huh? Little Nora, how are you in fourth place?" Zhang Shou noticed this and cried out in astonishment.
Eating an ice pop, Little Nora blinked her big, innocent eyes and answered, "The top ten gets announced every hour. I've always been up there."
"But you never even fought a Great Dao True Beast," Zhang Shou said, puzzled.
Niman chuckled. "Look at Yu Xian, and then look at Little Nora. The two of them are in a party."
Everyone turned to Yu Xian. Also eating an ice pop, Yu Xian smiled and explained, "Providing assistance to a teammate earns a share of contribution points too. It's just like a healer whose healing counts toward their combat record."
This was something Fang Qinghao had mentioned to Yu Xian, which was why he would eat the food Little Nora provided from time to time even when he wasn't hungry. That way, Little Nora was registered as helping Yu Xian recover stamina, allowing her to leech a portion of his contribution points.
"Honestly, I think the real reason nobody noticed is... Little Nora's full name looks so unfamiliar written out on the board," Cheng Pi remarked wryly.
If Zhang Shou hadn't noticed her on the leaderboard, Cheng Pi certainly wouldn't have connected that name to Little Nora.
After all, everyone usually just called her 'Little Nora.' Who could remember her full name?
"Alright, hurry up and claim the rewards! Let's see what good stuff first and fourth place get," Gong Qian urged. Everyone knew that Yu Xian's and Little Nora's rewards would definitely be extravagant, but just how extravagant was beyond their imagination.
Yu Xian readily agreed with a chuckle. "I'll claim mine first, then Little Nora can get hers."
With that, he looked up at the leaderboard in the sky and chose to claim his rewards.
The next instant, his body glowed continuously while various gems appeared in his inventory.
He brought out the assorted gems from his inventory and said with a slight hint of disdain, "Ten character enhancement stones, ten class enhancement stones, another ten skill enhancement stones, and ten Skill Awakening Stones. Lastly, an award of 100,000,000 Fortune Gold Coins and a massive amount of experience. I'm level 80 now."
Since everyone present was a trusted friend, he generously displayed his level 80 stat panel.
[Name: Yu Xian]

If they had already known Yu Xian was strong before, seeing his stat panel finally showed Zhang Shou and the others just how monstrously powerful he truly was.
"Aren't you a summoner?" Jin Sheng stared at Yu Xian in shock.
Traditional summoners had skills that virtually all revolved around their summoned beasts—skills like summon enhancement, summon life link, summon shield, summon healing...
Yet Yu Xian's skills were nothing like that.
Even though summoned beasts were his primary asset, Yu Xian possessed combat power on par with a mage. If anyone assumed he was a pure summoner and tried to rush him in close-quarters combat, the outcome would be spectacular.
Everyone could readily picture the enemy dying with their eyes wide in disbelief.
In truth, Yu Xian was even more terrifying than they imagined. He was hardly some frail mage. Even without using skills, with his current attributes, if anyone dared to engage him in melee, his invincible right fist would teach them the true meaning of violence.
"Who said a summoner can't have other skills?" Yu Xian couldn't help but chuckle when he saw everyone dumbfounded by his attributes.
He turned to Little Nora and said, "Alright, next up is Little Nora's turn to claim her rewards."
"Oh, then I'll claim mine!"
Little Nora swallowed the rest of her ice pop in one bite and selected to claim her rewards.
After receiving them, she brought them out and said, "My rewards are similar to Big Brother's, just a bit less: seven character enhancement stones, seven class enhancement stones, seven skill enhancement stones, and seven Skill Awakening Stones."
"Talk about getting filthy rich in one go," Zhang Shou exclaimed in awe.
Between Yu Xian and Little Nora, they had seventeen of each type of stone. It was safe to say neither of them lacked enhancement stones anymore—at least, they had more than enough for their own use.
In addition, Little Nora's level had risen to 75.
This was primarily because the experience awarded from the event wasn't shared; Yu Xian's rewards belonged exclusively to Yu Xian, and Little Nora's belonged only to Little Nora. Neither could receive the other's share.
This was the first time a level gap had opened between them since entering the Zhen Realm, as they had always been in a party and at the exact same level before.
Having seen Yu Xian's and Little Nora's rewards, everyone began searching for their own rankings.
