If he wins the Newcomer Chief title.
He would receive 20,000 points of support each month. Combined with the previous 100,000 points, this would basically cover his daily cultivation needs, with even a little left over.
If he takes first place in the Newcomer League.
He would gain unlimited access to the Secret Realm in the future, completely solving the problem of hunting exotic beasts.
It could be said that as long as he wins these two competitions, all the fundamental resources for his cultivation during his time at the Martial Arts University would be secured.
And through this method, he could also provide some positive feedback to the school.
After all, he had received so many rewards from the school, and it wouldn't make sense to offer nothing in return.
Therefore, from any perspective, he had no choice but to win first place in this Newcomer League!
As for Xue Min's mention of the abundance of geniuses in top Martial Arts Universities, he would take it seriously, but he would not be intimidated!
In martial arts cultivation, one must press forward!
What's more, he was now a Level 4 Martial Artist, plus his trump card of mental power.
He believed that even with powerful opponents, he could defeat them!
Hearing Jiang Fan speak so resolutely, Xue Min was momentarily stunned.
After a long pause, she finally encouraged him.
"Junior Brother, I believe in you! You'll definitely achieve a good ranking!"
"But..."
Xue Min said softly.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"
"After all, this Newcomer League is a competition for the top students from all the universities, and the difficulty is extremely high!"
"Even if you don't achieve the ranking you desire in the end, don't be discouraged!"
"With your talent, given time, you will definitely surpass them!"
"If you're short on points in the future, you can come to me. I don't have a lot of points, but I have some left over each month after my expenses. I..."
In Xue Min's opinion, Jiang Fan was just a freshman who had recently enrolled, a high-level Level 3 Martial Artist.
Although his talent was outstanding, allowing him to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Natural Meditation Technique to the minor accomplishment stage in a very short period, he had only recently started practicing the old cultivation method, and his realm was not yet sufficient. Compared to the geniuses from other schools, he might...
Xue Min, also a top student, had participated in the Newcomer League before and knew how terrifying those true geniuses were. Therefore, she began to preemptively warn Jiang Fan, so that if he failed, his Dao heart wouldn't be damaged.
Seeing that Xue Min lacked confidence in him, Jiang Fan smiled inwardly and didn't pay it any mind.
However, he couldn't say too much at the moment, so he could only reply.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!"
"Are these his exact words?"
"Did he really say that?"
In Hong Tiangan's courtyard, he looked up in surprise at Xue Min.
Xue Min nodded.
"Yes, Teacher. Junior Brother has very high expectations for this competition!"
Hong Tiangan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Your Junior Brother has a lot of ambition!"
Since Hong Tiangan had entrusted Jiang Fan's cultivation to Xue Min for guidance.
He rarely inquired about Jiang Fan's progress unless it was a critical juncture in his cultivation, at which point he would offer some guidance.
Today, he happened to remember that he hadn't heard from Jiang Fan in a while, so he called Xue Min over to ask.
He didn't expect to receive such explosive news.
Xue Min explained on behalf of Jiang Fan.
"Teacher, Junior Brother was the top scholar in Jiang City, and his talent is excellent. It's understandable that he feels this way!"
"Don't worry, I will guide him properly!"
Hong Tiangan waved his hand.
"Why guide him?"
"I think it's very good!"
Xue Min was momentarily taken aback.

Then Hong Tiangan said slowly.
"How long has it been since our Ninth Martial Arts University has produced someone like this?"
Xue Min fell silent and shook her head.
Hong Tiangan's gaze was distant as he said, "Ever since our generation, the Ninth Martial Arts University has been on a downward slope!"
"Over the years, neither the teachers nor the students have had that same conviction as before!"
"Even I, at times, have started to feel that the newcomers from our Ninth Martial Arts University can't compare to those from the other major Martial Arts Universities!"
Hong Tiangan seemed touched, recalling the glorious years of the past.
"We need someone like this now, to bring some confidence to everyone!"
He looked at Xue Min.
"So, don't go counsel him!"
"Go and support him!"
"Before the Newcomer League begins, provide him with whatever he needs!"
"I want to see if he can truly break through our current predicament!"
Xue Min's eyes gradually lit up.
"Understood!"
The Ninth Martial Arts University Chief Competition began as scheduled.
The Chief Competition, as the name suggests, is where all newcomers compete together to vie for the position of the number one newcomer.
Although the Ninth Martial Arts University's development has been limited in recent years, and the number of newcomers is pitifully small compared to other Martial Arts Universities.
Still, with over a thousand newcomers appearing together in one venue, the scale was quite grand.
Coupled with the presence of many senior students and school teachers coming to watch, the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
The Newcomer Chief Competition was conducted in an arena format.
Since only the first place was awarded and no other rankings were made, there was no arrangement for 1v1 duels.
In other words, it didn't matter about cultivation level, method, or time. From the start of the competition, the person standing on the arena at the end would be the Newcomer Chief.
This competition format, though seemingly simple, was incredibly difficult for those who actually participated!
This was because, in addition to possessing sufficient strength, one also needed to withstand the intensity of the battles.
Imagine standing on the arena and having to defeat all the challengers from among the thousand-plus newcomers. How many battles would that entail?
Even if the fights between other newcomers would cause some mutual attrition, it wouldn't be easy to emerge victorious in the end.
Below the arena, Xue Min pulled Jiang Fan aside and whispered, "Junior Brother, when the competition starts later, don't go up first!"
Jiang Fan was slightly surprised.
"Why?"
Xue Min, with the demeanor of someone who had been through it, smiled.
"This competition is about selecting the person who stands on the arena at the end, so endurance is the most important thing!"
"If you go up early, you'll inevitably get caught in a war of attrition, with people challenging you one after another, consuming a lot of your energy!"
"Therefore, there's an unspoken rule in the Chief Competition, which is that those with lower cultivation levels go up to fight first!"
"This way, through wave after wave of elimination, the final stage will be a true battle of the masters!"
Jiang Fan was slightly surprised.
"Wouldn't the person selected this way go against the original intention of the competition?"
"If they challenge according to their cultivation level, what's the difference from selecting them through 1v1 duels?"
Xue Min spread her hands.
"It can't be helped, everyone went through it this way!"
"After all, if you were to go on stage right at the beginning, even if you were incredibly powerful, you might end up being worn down by the end!"
"No one can withstand such intense and continuous combat!"
"If..."
Xue Min had only spoken halfway when she heard the sound of 'dang dang dang' from the stage.
She quickly stopped and said, "The competition is about to start!"
