"I am Shen Xiu, an Outer Sect disciple of the Eastern Region's Heavenly Sun Academy. Today, here and now, I challenge the students of the Eastern Region's Number Two Heavenly Sun Academy!"
"If I, Shen Xiu, win, I will replace you and become a disciple of the new Number One Heavenly Sun Academy!"
"If I lose, I will accept any punishment!"
"If you refuse to submit, get out of Heavenly Sun City now. Otherwise... I will slaughter every last one of you!"
"Remember this!"
"Heavenly Sun Academy does not permit any trash to set foot inside!"
"Not even experts ranked within the top five hundred of the Heavenly Sun Ranking!"
Standing atop that enormous stone stele, Shen Xiu shouted loudly.
His voice rumbled forth, echoing throughout the entire city.
As his shout fell, the surrounding crowd stopped cultivating and turned to look in Shen Xiu's direction.
"It's him!"
"That man is actually Shen Xiu!"
"The number one genius of our Eastern Region Heavenly Sun Academy!"
"I heard he has already reached the third level of the Spirit Sect Realm. Shen Xiu is a heaven-blessed genius—does he actually want to seize a good ranking in the Eastern Region's Number One Heavenly Sun Academy?"
"Has he gone mad?!"
As everyone's gazes settled on Shen Xiu, they began discussing him one after another.
They knew Shen Xiu.
Back in the Myriad Beast Mountains, Shen Xiu's strength had soared like a bird taking flight.
Not long ago, Shen Xiu had slain the young masters and elders of the four great families. Now that he had appeared once more, blazing fire flickered in their eyes.
They absolutely supported Shen Xiu!
"Lord Shen Xiu, we support you!"
"That's right, Lord Shen Xiu. Please enter."
Those elders spoke up one after another as well.
