Elite Class Selection, Begins

Fangyuan City Second Middle School.

Class 37 of Senior High.

Su Ye walked into the classroom, and Xia Zhiqiu immediately came over.

"A'Su, I saw it again!"

"Saw what?"

"I saw you came with the school beauty again! My sixth sense as a man tells me there's definitely something going on between you two!"

"You're overthinking it, we just met by chance."

Su Ye didn't plan to continue this topic with Xia Zhiqiu and simply asked.

"Today should be the elite class selection trials, has the procedure been released?"

Yesterday, each of the senior high classes had submitted their top ten lists, and today should be the official selection.

As expected, hearing Su Ye mention this, Xia Zhiqiu's attention was instantly diverted.

"I've been keeping an eye on this since yesterday, but there's been no news yet... The school is definitely up to something!"

What Xia Zhiqiu said was indeed true.

Soon, the homeroom teacher Lan Jingfei brought the top ten martial artists from the class to the school gymnasium.

Blue Star people exploded, with a population far exceeding Earth's.

Fangyuan City Second Middle School's Senior High alone had thirty classes.

And there were five martial arts high schools like Second Middle School in Fangyuan City, plus several ordinary high schools for students without cultivation talent.

This showed the population base.

At this moment, the top ten martial artists from thirty classes gathered together, totaling three hundred people.

Su Ye casually scanned the people around him; most were unfamiliar.

However...

Su Ye also saw a few familiar figures in the crowd.

Xiao Qiyue... and the handsome young man standing beside Xiao Qiyue.

He was the person Su Ye saw during the video call yesterday.

"Who is that?"

Xia Zhiqiu followed Su Ye's gaze, and a teasing smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Still saying you have nothing to do with the school beauty, now you're paying attention to her suitors."

"Suitors?"

"Yeah, that's Zhang Xuan from Class 1. He's also a cultivation genius, already at the Eighth Level of Kaiyuan. But in my opinion, his talent is average, and all that cultivation is thanks to resources... Oh right, the very famous Xuanyuan Construction Company in our city is their family's, and I heard they have very strong connections."

So his name was Zhang Xuan.

Noticing that Zhang Xuan's gaze was fixed on Xiao Qiyue.

So... he sent those thugs to teach me a lesson because of Xiao Qiyue?

How boring.

Su Ye didn't like this kind of petty squabbling over women, but... since someone wanted to break his legs, it was only polite for Su Ye to make some gesture.

Beside him, Xia Zhiqiu grabbed Su Ye and pointed.

"A'Su, see that super cool flat-top over there? That's Meng Li, the number one martial artist in the grade, Ninth Level of Kaiyuan... He's so amazing, and he's also awakened a supernatural ability, immense strength, innate divine strength!"

"And that girl with the super long legs over there, Mu Wanrou. She looks delicate and charming, but she's actually the number one martial artist in Class 3, Eighth Level of Kaiyuan. I heard she's also awakened a supernatural ability, one of only three in our Senior High who have awakened abilities, and it seems to be related to healing... Truly beautiful and kind-hearted."

Su Ye glanced at Xia Zhiqiu, whose eyes were shining.

What does awakening a supernatural ability have to do with being beautiful and kind-hearted?

"Old Xia, you said three people in our Senior High awakened supernatural abilities? Besides Meng Li and Mu Wanrou, who else?"

"My goodness, A'Su, you haven't been paying attention at all?! The third person is of course our beautiful school beauty, Xiao Qiyue! But our school beauty is very mysterious, no one knows what supernatural ability she awakened."

Su Ye: ...

The original owner was a bit reclusive. In Class 17, besides his deskmate Xia Zhiqiu, he didn't interact much with anyone else.

He also didn't pay attention to others.

What did it matter to him if others awakened supernatural abilities? It wouldn't help his cultivation break through.

However, Su Ye hadn't expected that Xiao Qiyue had also awakened a supernatural ability.

"Ahem."

A voice came from the speakers. Principal Zhang stood on the podium, raising his microphone.

"Students, you are all elites of our Second Middle School, the sun at seven or eight in the morning, the flowers of Eastern Huang..."

Principal Zhang passionately spoke for half an hour.

Su Ye was practically falling asleep standing in the crowd.

Principal Zhang finally got to the main point.

"The elite class selection will be divided into three rounds."

"The first round is random matching. Each person will be randomly matched with five opponents for a best-of-five duel. Winning three matches will allow entry into the next round."

"The second round is a King of the Hill match. There will be 50 platforms. The first person to claim a platform becomes the king. Three consecutive wins while defending the platform will secure it, successfully earning a spot in the elite class. Everyone gets one challenge. Failing a challenge means disqualification."

"The third round is a ranking match. After the 50 kings successfully defend their platforms, they can challenge a king ranked higher than themselves. If successful, they take over the opponent's rank. Each person only has one challenge opportunity."

Principal Zhang quickly explained the rules.

Then, on the screen behind Principal Zhang, the student IDs of the top ten martial arts students from each class began to scroll, finally forming the match information.

While the students below were focused on the match information on the big screen, the teachers and school leaders on the side stands were observing the students below.
