147: Chapter 147 Ranking Battle, Peach Blossom

Dean Xiao, everyone is here.

In front of the massive Star Gate, a dozen instructors from The Stars stood in a row, watching Vice Dean Xiao Yue, who stood with his hands behind his back.

Hmm.

Vice Dean Xiao Yue nodded, then looked down at the 359 Students of the Special Recruitment Class and spoke in a clear voice.

You have likely heard something about the first lesson.

Upon hearing this, many Students were delighted.

Especially some Students from the Prodigy Class, who glared unkindly at the few from the God Selection Class.

The Stars has a tradition of establishing an initial ranking based on the College Entrance Examination results.

The second place on Chen Mo's admission letter is his ranking.

This ranking is very important.

The higher the ranking, the more resources The Stars will allocate.

Of course, the special recruitment for the hundred academies is somewhat different from previous years.

In addition to the resource support from The Stars itself, there is also additional resource support from the Federation, which is the reason for dividing Students into the God Selection Class, Prodigy Class, Elite Class, and Ordinary Class.

The 50% additional resources that Tan Feng promised Chen Mo back then also belong to this category.

The additional resource support is fixed upon enrollment, unless one is promoted to a higher class.

However, the resources based on ranking, which are the resources provided by The Stars itself to the Students, can be contested.

The Stars' first lesson: the Ranking Battle! This is an opportunity the academy gives to every Student; it is fair, just, and open.

Vice Dean Xiao Yue's gaze swept over each and every Student.

Don't say the school doesn't give you a chance, but opportunities are for those who are prepared. Everyone only has one chance to challenge, so weigh your abilities carefully and don't waste it.

After speaking, Vice Dean Xiao Yue turned his gaze to Kong Hanshu.

Kong Hanshu immediately raised his hand, and within a few seconds, ten independent spaces resembling cages appeared in the void.

The reason The Stars chose the Star Territory for the ranking battle is to let Students use the most authentic extraterrestrial void as a battlefield and unleash their full potential.

Who will go first?

Kong Hanshu looked at the 359 people below.

I will.

A Student from the Prodigy Class who had long been unable to restrain himself immediately stood up and entered one of the space cages without hesitation.

Rank 14, Qiu Shaojie! I want to challenge...

Qiu Shaojie's gaze wandered over the Students of the God Selection Class.

He looked from Chen Mo at the very front all the way to Shao Wenting, who was ranked twelfth.

After a brief hesitation, he decided to move his target up by one spot.

It wasn't that he didn't want to pick the easy target, but he felt it was a bit beneath him to challenge the last person in the God Selection Class.

I want to challenge the eleventh-ranked Student of the God Selection Class, Jiang Yingqiu.

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone looked at the boy standing at the end of the God Selection Class.

He had a pair of eyes like deep pools, and especially those sword-like eyebrows always gave people a feeling of sharpness.

Perfect.

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes. In truth, among everyone in the God Selection Class, besides Du Ming, the person he cared about most was this future True Monarch Qiushui.

To be honest, being classmates with this guy put some pressure on Chen Mo, as this person was one of the main triggers for the outbreak of the Immortal Calamity.

After performing great deeds for the Sub-Primordial Era, this True Monarch Qiushui was directly accepted as a personal disciple by a certain Supreme Being of the Sub-Primordial Era.

Later, he became unstoppable, even clashing head-on with the future Du Ming and successfully surviving.

Go.

Kong Hanshu glanced at Jiang Yingqiu.

Yes, Kong Hanshu.

Jiang Yingqiu nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly, then walked towards the space cage.

At the same time, many Students also issued challenge requests to their targets, and within the blink of an eye, six of the ten space cages were occupied.

But apart from Qiu Shaojie at the beginning, the others from the Prodigy Class did not act rashly, clearly wanting to test the bottom line of the God Selection Class through the battle between Qiu Shaojie and Jiang Yingqiu.

How much chance do you think he has?

Beside Chen Mo, the somewhat familiar Liu Xuanfeng suddenly spoke.

Zero chance!

Chen Mo did not hesitate.

So sure? I've seen Qiu Shaojie's performance in the illusion tower; like Jiang Yingqiu, he also passed seven levels of the first layer. Logically speaking, he should have some chance.

Liu Xuanfeng said, somewhat puzzled.

Is that so?

Chen Mo was noncommittal but did not offer an explanation.

He had also carefully observed the scores and rankings on the illusion tower's freshman leaderboard.

Except for Du Ming and himself, the number of levels passed by other Students was actually very close.

Tao Yao passed nine levels of the first layer, Wu Lingzhi passed eight levels of the first layer, and the remaining Students of the God Selection Class were stuck at the seventh level.

Among the Students of the Prodigy Class, three also reached the seventh level, and this Qiu Shaojie was one of them.

But the problem is, the illusion tower still ranked Qiu Shaojie outside the top twelve.

This shows that even if it's the same level, different performances lead to different rankings.

However, the reason for Chen Mo's certainty did not come from the illusion tower's ranking, but from his own judgment of this True Monarch Qiushui.

This is a guy with extremely deep schemes and a talent for disguise.

He even suspected that this person's true strength was above that of Wu Lingzhi and even Tao Yao.

You're unlucky to have run into me.

Chen Mo sneered inwardly, then looked with some surprise at a figure stepping out from the God Selection Class line.

It was none other than the third-ranked Student of the God Selection Class.

That gifted girl whose spatial talent was not inferior to Kong Hanshu's, Tao Yao!

God Selection Class, third rank, Tao Yao, I want to challenge...

Inside the space cage, the girl dressed in black martial attire bowed to Kong Hanshu, her eyes shifting slightly, looking at Chen Mo in the crowd without any concealment.

The second rank, Chen Mo.
