The arena was covered in dust.
The protective array surrounding the arena was shattered by Shi Sheng's axe, transforming into streams of Spiritual Qi that roamed freely across the arena.
This prevented the trainees from immediately understanding the situation.
However, Ye Qiubai and the others revealed a smile.
Just because others can't do it doesn't mean they can't perceive the situation.
Ning Chenxin smiled and said, "Our junior brother's future achievements will be no less than ours!"
Ye Qiubai nodded as well.
He was the one who knew Shi Sheng's situation best.
At the very beginning.
Their physical condition is extremely poor.
At the same time, his talent wasn't particularly outstanding.
Among that batch of new students, those with the Purple Mansion Realm cultivation level were just barely above the passing mark.
The lowest tier of freshmen.
However, relying solely on willpower, he persevered to the very end within his Sword Ancestor's Sword Domain.
Now, after being trained by his master, his talent and physical abilities have greatly improved.
Combined with his own willpower, his future achievements will certainly not be lower than theirs!
not to mention...
Ye Qiubai gave a wry smile, "This junior brother's cultivation level is even higher than mine."
Hong Ying joked, "Then shouldn't you step down and give way to a more capable person?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai laughed heartily, "That won't do. I became a disciple of Master before you all."
The joke caused the four people in the Cottage to burst into laughter.
On the other side.
Ding Yunhe also remarked with admiration, "This newly accepted disciple of the Cottage is truly extraordinary..."
Yun Jing, Lu Changsheng's number one die-hard fan, nodded in agreement.
Shi Sheng's performance truly exceeded their expectations!
Even Qin Tiannan was puzzled and said, "I know Shi Sheng, his previous talent level wasn't very good."
"It's only been a few days? And it's already reached this level?"
"One can only say that brat has an unparalleled talent for training disciples..."
At this moment.
Under the watchful eyes of all the trainees.
The dust on the arena, and the rampant Spiritual Qi after the formation shattered, were slowly dissipating.
The scene was vaguely revealed.
One could see a black figure, holding a hand axe, standing steadily on the divided arena.
And opposite him.
But there was no one standing in sight!
Everyone's pupils contracted slightly.
The man holding the hand axe is definitely Shi Sheng from the Cottage!
What about Chen Mingzhi?
Could it be...?
Soon, everyone's thoughts were confirmed.
The dust has completely dissipated.
As they expected, Shi Sheng remained standing steadily on the stage.
His expression remained unchanged, still calm.
But, on the other side of him...
Chen Mingzhi had already collapsed at the site of the landslide!
His entire body was covered in blood.
His eyes were tightly closed, his face showed pain, and he was barely breathing.
Clearly, he was seriously injured and unconscious!
Everyone was horrified upon seeing this.
All eyes turned to Shi Sheng, who stood steadily on the arena.
How did he do that?
During the admissions process.
Isn't he only at the Purple Mansion Realm cultivation level?
But how could he now severely injure Chen Ming, who had broken through to the Mid-stage Qianyuan Realm, with a Chen Mingzhi axe strike?
You should know that there is a whole realm between the Purple Mansion Realm and the Qianyuan Realm!
How did they manage to do that?
Even the most monstrous talent couldn't possibly defeat someone by crossing two realms, could they?
At this moment.
The Dean of the Confucian Academy also announced, " Chen Mingzhi of the Martial Hall versus Shi Sheng of the Cottage, Shi Sheng!"
The Martial Hall also arrived on the arena at this moment.
He lifted Chen Mingzhi's head and gave him a pill to help him recover from his injuries.
After stabilizing Chen Mingzhi's injuries, he looked at Shi Sheng with a serious expression.
He said softly, " Late Qianyuan Realm..."
Late Qianyuan Realm!
Upon hearing this,
Everyone was shocked!
How could that be!
It's only been a few days?!
To break through to the Late Qianyuan Realm in such a short time?!
If it weren't for the fact that Shi Sheng appeared so disheveled during the admissions process...
People will probably think that Shi Sheng is pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
In just a few days.
He broke through from the Purple Mansion Realm to the Late Qianyuan Realm...
What kind of place is Cottage...?
Is it really that amazing...?
Is it possible to transform an ordinary person into an unparalleled prodigy in just a few days?
This is simply too outrageous...
Shi Sheng also announced the results after the Dean of the Confucian Academy finished speaking.
She bowed slightly to him and walked back to the Cottage's camp.
Ye Qiubai said with a smile, "Junior Brother, you've really made our Cottage proud!"
Hong Ying also smiled and said, "Yes, you've already surpassed Senior Brother in terms of cultivation level."
Ye Qiubai: "..."
"Hey junior sister, can you stop bringing this up? It's making me, as the senior brother, lose face."
"Really? I'm an honest person; I can't lie."
Ye Qiubai shook his head helplessly, at this junior sister who always made him take the blame.
He didn't know what to do.
Shi Sheng, Xiao Hei, and Ning Chenxin exchanged glances and smiled slightly at the scene.
They really enjoyed the atmosphere.
There is no pressure from superiors or subordinates.
Only the ease of being with family.
The subsequent competition.
No one dared to challenge Shi Sheng.
After all, he was the only one who could stand up to Shi Sheng.
Now, he has been severely injured by Shi Sheng's axe.
Chen Mingzhi, under the medicated pills of the Martial Hall, quickly recovered from his injuries.
Although it has not fully recovered yet.
However, he still used his second challenge opportunity and defeated a student who had already won a place.
They successfully took his place.
They successfully advanced to the third round.
Only ten people successfully advanced to the third round.
At this moment, Qin Tiannan also stepped forward and said with a smile, "Those students who successfully advance after the second round can participate in the third round."
"There are no rules in the third round. Everyone can give it their all and try to win first place."
"Winning first place not only grants entry into the treasure pavilion, allowing you to choose a Cultivation Method and a Treasure Artifact."
"They will also be able to participate in the Four Regions Academy Grand Competition in seven days."
That's right.
Following the freshman competition.
Following closely behind was the Four Regions Grand Competition, held by the Hidden Dao Academy in each of the four regions.
Once the winner is determined, they will receive preferential treatment in terms of resources from the main hospital!
Ding Yunhe said with a smile, " Dean Qin, you shouldn't feel any pressure in this Four Regions Grand Competition, right?"
Qin Tiannan humbly replied, "No, no, what if the other side also has a prodigy?"
Yun Jing rolled her eyes.
There were a few people from Cottage.
How could you possibly lose the Four Regions Grand Competition?
Let those disciples from the Cottage who are capable of crushing Void God Realm experts fight.
You could even say they're cheating...
After resting for an hour.
The third round has officially begun.
Shi Sheng stepped onto the repaired arena.
The nine people included Chen Mingzhi.
They all seemed to have reached a consensus.
They all looked at Shi Sheng.
They're actually planning to join forces!
Shi Sheng himself didn't seem to care much. Looking at the nine people, he calmly said, "Make your move."
