Fengyun University is located within Ying Province.

With the Martial Ground Baptism imminent, the atmosphere on campus gradually became tense.

The top ten on the Fengyun Ranking, who were rarely seen before, have recently returned to school one after another.

Influenced by them, many students from Fengyun University also ended their holidays early and returned to school.

All for the sake of being able to observe a bit of it during the battle for [Martial Ground Baptism].

As for the list of ten people who can participate in the [Martial Ground Baptism], it was finalized at the school's senior management meeting a few days ago.

In order to maximize the incentive effect.

The members of the [News Department] made full use of the nearly 100-meter-tall [Floating Shadow Giant Stone] on campus, which was specifically used to display notices.

The list was completed the day before yesterday, and even the most widely known of their many names was added.

At this moment, on that smooth, pitch-black, massive monument...

Ten names, cast in blood-red ink, were prominently displayed.

"At the top of the Fengyun Ranking, the Blind Swordsman, Li Jiankai."

"Second on the Fengyun Ranking, the Heavenly Sun Saint Son, Sun Chiyang."

"Third place on the Fengyun Ranking, Thunderclap Spear, Xu Tian."

"..."

"Ninth on the Fengyun Ranking, Time Zero, Chen Jingli."

"Number ten on the Fengyun Ranking: Ye Li."

The ten names symbolize the ten most outstanding core students of Fengyun University.

Among the returning students coming and going, many stopped here, looking up at the numerous names on the list with longing in their eyes.

It's important to understand that anyone on this list is someone they can only dream of.

Outstanding students of Fengyun University

A martial artist among martial artists, a genius among geniuses!

However, the lists from previous years mostly featured familiar names.

This year's top nine are alright.

However, Ye Li, who ranked tenth, was a completely unfamiliar name to them.

"Ye Li? Who is Ye Li?"

"Who is this esteemed figure?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of such a person in the top thirty of the Fengyun Ranking."

The vast majority of returning students looked puzzled, and some immediately asked their friends.

At this moment, the students who had spent the entire holiday on campus grinned from ear to ear when they heard their friend's question.

No way.

The feeling of getting intelligence ahead of others is truly wonderful.

Just as bewildered as most of the students was a handsome young man in a hoodie.

The young man was once Fengyun Ranking, and is now Fengyun Ranking eleventh, Cui Ming.

Even with his entire face shrouded in a hood, the blankness on his face was still undeniable.

I worked so hard to earn credits, and when I came back just before the [Martial Ground Baptism], I found out...

All spots are gone!

Who could stand this!

Cui Ming took a deep breath, feeling a sharp pain in his heart, and couldn't help but clench his fists, intending to demand an explanation.

Just then...

Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't hold back any longer and coughed softly.

Ostensibly, he was introducing himself to his own friends, but in reality, he was speaking so loudly that everyone present could hear him.

"It's understandable if you don't know, this Ye Li is the mysterious big shot who just enrolled this year!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Ming, who was about to leave, was startled and stopped, looking in the direction of the voice.

"Newly enrolled?"

His friend was also taken aback, then quickly recovered and asked in astonishment:

"Did this person transfer from another school?"

The man shook his head and corrected him with a sigh:

"They're freshmen, the kind who just graduated from Martial Arts High School!"

These words caused an uproar among the crowd, with many people turning their heads sharply to look.

Holy crap, a newbie?

And then the top ten on the Fengyun Ranking?!

It must be fake!!

How could these two words be connected?!

An expression of disbelief flashed in Cui Ming's eyes, and he almost couldn't help but start cursing.

It's important to understand that even at prestigious universities like Fengyun University, where geniuses gather, this is a testament to the power of science.

In most cases, only senior students in their fourth or fifth year can make it into the top ten of the Fengyun Ranking.

The most outrageous instance was when a third-year university student made it into the top ten of the Fengyun Ranking.

At the same time, that was also the list with the lowest prestige.

But times have changed; this year's Fengyun Ranking chart is definitely more prestigious.

Among the top ten, not one of them is unable to fight against Fourth-Tier Martial Artist.

Even looking at the entire history of the school's Fengyun Ranking, this is an extremely rare occurrence!

Given that everyone here is a prodigy of our time, having a few more years to cultivate means a real boost to one's foundation!

Even Cui Ming, who will be a fifth-year student this semester, would have scoffed at such rumors in the past.

How could a freshman possibly outperform these seasoned veterans?

"Those who got in through connections?"

Someone couldn't help but break the silence, asking in a hoarse voice.

Although he himself felt it was unlikely.

"Get lost! What do you think our school is?"

The man rolled his eyes.

He then looked around, seemingly pleased with everyone's reaction, and then smiled:

"From what I understand, he's a genuine big shot. On his very first day at school, he took down two geniuses who were ranked in the top fifteen of the Fengyun Ranking in the Enlightenment Pavilion."

"They were completely overwhelmed; those two didn't even have a chance to fight back."

Upon hearing this, Cui Ming murmured from the crowd, "Fourth tier..."

The ranks tenth to fifteenth on the Fengyun Ranking represent the Peak Third Order.

To be able to defeat them so decisively... one must be Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, and not just any ordinary Fourth-Tier Martial Artist.

"How old is this Ye Li this year?"

Holding the possibility that the other person might be a repeat student, someone in the crowd asked with difficulty.

Less than twenty.

"..."

"Not even twenty years old... Fourth-Tier Martial Artist?"

After listening, Cui Ming felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

A student nearby tentatively asked, "Is it really a fourth-tier fighter? Could it be one of those really powerful Peak Third Order fighters?"

I haven't finished speaking.

The man glanced at him, then said calmly:

"He not only knocked down two of the top fifteen during the day, but also severely injured another top fifteen who had just advanced to the fourth rank that night."

"The same crushing victory, the same effortless triumph."

The open space in front of the stone tablet fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

Cui Ming staggered backward, staring intently at the person who had spoken:

"This Ye Li, he crushed a martial artist who had just entered the fourth level?"

The man was startled when he saw Cui Ming's face.

Cui Ming was a well-known figure on campus, so he naturally knew him.

He quickly replied, "That's how I know it. A friend in the News Department told me, so it shouldn't be false."

Cui Ming breathed heavily and stood silently in place for a long time.

The fists hidden in his sleeves clenched tighter and tighter.

At this point, more and more students recognized him:

"Cui Ming? The Cui Ming who's ranked tenth on the Fengyun Ranking?"

"Shut up, it's eleventh now, or someone might chisel you."

"Is he dissatisfied and wants to test his skills against Ye Li?"

"That's hard to say..."

Cui Ming finally let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for informing me."

Having said that, he turned and left.

They simply changed their departure direction from the courtyard of the Gold Medal Student to the school cafeteria.

Bull Demon King, he single-handedly crushed two Peak Third Order and a fourth-tier early-stage cultivator?!

Oh my god...

"I'll set up a market here!"

On his way to the cafeteria, Cui Ming became increasingly distraught, and finally couldn't help but burst into a tirade:

"Monsters! They're all monsters!!"

The top five on the Fengyun Ranking are monsters, and Ye Li is a monster too!

Since that's the case, let them fight tooth and nail for the Martial Ground Baptism three days from now!

Amidst a chorus of strange looks, Cui Ming angrily stormed into the cafeteria.
