46: Chapter 46 You Jump It Yourselves
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared in absolute shock at the white-clad figure in the center of the arena, who remained as calm and composed as ever.
Originally, in everyone's expectations, this was bound to be an earth-shattering, incredibly tragic, and bitter struggle.
After all, that was a collective siege by nearly fifty top-tier geniuses!
Among them were Golden Horn, Yu Ling, and Niu Man—three individuals publicly recognized as favorites to win, expected to place in the top ten or even the top five of this competition!
But now?
From start to finish, the battle hadn't even lasted a single minute!
The so-called collective siege was like a joke in front of that mysterious human youth!
It was a complete sweep!
This was no longer simple strength; it was a thorough dimensional strike!
The power levels of the two sides were simply not on the same plane of existence!
After the brief deathly silence, the entire Sacred Martial Mountain was instantly submerged by a mountain-shaking, sea-tsunami roar of noise!
All the spectating students were boiling with excitement!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! This is way too badass!"
"The genius of my Human Race is invincible in this world!"
"This... where on earth did this peerless Prodigy pop out from! First place! He's definitely first! Who dares to disagree!"
Lu Sheng and Zhou Qi were so excited their voices had completely distorted; they hugged each other, jumping up and down, cheering frantically for their boss!
Among the Human Race's top hundred camp, Ye Lingjun and Liu Yuhuan—the original leaders of the Human Race—exchanged a look, both seeing an unspeakable shock and even a hint of... bitterness in each other's eyes.
Ye Lingjun stammered, "This—this brother, he... he's so strong he doesn't even seem human!"
The rest of the Human Race geniuses were also completely dumbfounded.
This was just too fierce!
Jiang Mingyue silently watched that figure who was the focus of ten thousand gazes, her heart filled with both admiration and an indescribable, complex emotion.
She let out a proud, light hmph.
"Hmph! This stinky guy, he's showing off again!"
On the other side of the arena.
The alien geniuses who were still standing now had nothing but endless fear and trembling left on their faces.
Even the three like Golden Horn had been easily taken care of like chopping melons and vegetables.
What kind of waves could the rest of them possibly stir up?
"Let's go together! Fight him to the death!"
An alien genius was still unwilling to give up, trying to incite the crowd into a final resistance.
However, what greeted him was a large foot descending from the sky, stepping on him and knocking him unconscious instantly.
Ning Yuan clapped his hands somewhat impatiently.
"So slow and talkative."
He looked at those aliens, who were already scared out of their wits, with a beaming smile.
"Now, I'll give you two choices."
"Either you jump down yourselves, quickly and cleanly."
"Or, I personally step in to give you a hand."
Hearing this, the remaining aliens all felt a chill run through their bodies.
They looked at each other, and finally, someone gritted their teeth and was the first to choose to give up, actively jumping off the arena.
Losing to such a completely incomprehensible Prodigy was not a disgrace!
If they were really heavily injured or even crippled later, the loss would outweigh the gain.
At that time, not only would it cost a massive amount of heavenly treasures to heal, but they might even miss the upcoming Ancient Ruin because of it.
They knew very well which was more important: face or practical benefits.
Besides, even the three like Golden Horn had lost; who would dare say they were incompetent?
With the first person leading the way, the rest no longer hesitated.
One after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, they actively jumped off the arena.
That scene left everyone staring blankly.
Immediately after, an earth-shattering burst of laughter erupted from the Human Race student camp!
This was probably the most bizarre and shocking scene in the history of the academy competition!
"Yuan God is badass!"
It was unknown who first shouted this title.
Soon, this cry spread as quickly as a prairie fire, eventually evolving into a fanatical roar that swept across the entire Sacred Martial Mountain!
"Yuan God is badass!"
"Yuan God is badass!"
Just like that, Ning Yuan gained a resounding new nickname.
As the focus of ten thousand people, Ning Yuan still maintained that calm and composed look, as if everything he had just done was merely a trivial matter.
He even had the leisure to pat a speck of dust off his pristine sleeve.
"Sigh, I originally wanted to keep a low profile. Unfortunately, these alien little brats were just too arrogant."
He turned his head, looked at the Human Race geniuses on the arena who were still in shock, and grinned.
"Alright, the annoying guys have been cleared out by me."
"The rest is up to you guys."
"Should be no problem, right?"
After saying that, he winked and smiled at Jiang Mingyue in the crowd. Then, he walked to the very center of the arena on his own, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, everyone was caught between laughter and tears.
What an arrogant guy!
But he truly had the capital to be this arrogant!
The gazes everyone directed at him were filled with admiration.
Subsequently, a soaring fighting spirit was reignited in their eyes!
Since the aliens had all been cleared out and the bottom fifty seats were already decided,
then next would be the battle for the internal rankings of the Human Race's top fifty!
Although there was no longer any suspense about the first-place position,
they could still fight for the throne of second place!
The great battle instantly erupted again!
It had to be said that the Human Race geniuses who could stand here each had their own unique skills.
Ye Lingjun and Liu Yuhuan, the two original leading figures, both possessed extraordinary constitutions and practiced powerful secret arts.
Jiang Mingyue was even a reincarnated Martial Saint, a monstrous existence who had broken the ten-million-jin limit. If not for Ning Yuan, she would have been the absolute protagonist.
Their battles were equally brilliant and eye-catching.
In ordinary times, their performances would surely have drawn continuous gasps and cheers from the entire venue.
But unfortunately...
With Ning Yuan's miraculous solo performance as a benchmark,
their current battles seemed somewhat dull and tasteless.
Almost everyone's eyes were still fixed on the white-clad figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the arena.
The incredibly fierce battles around him had nothing to do with him.
Even the geniuses who were currently fighting tacitly steered their battlefields far away from the area where he was, not daring to let even a hint of the aftermath affect him.
That sight made everyone marvel incessantly.
Who could have imagined that in this year's academy competition, such an unreasonable, peerless Prodigy would suddenly emerge from the Qi and Blood Academy!
In the Transcendent Academy's camp, ripples continued to stir in Ling Wanhe's heart.
"His constitution... is very strong, extremely strong! I am already the Sacred Body of the Star Spirit Clan, a once-in-ten-thousand-years occurrence, with a peerless compatibility with Astral Power! But he... the feeling he gives me is even greater than mine..."
Her eyes were exceptionally bright.
If it were any other constitution, she wouldn't care and would at most be amazed, but this human youth possessed a peerless constitution compatible with the stars, which was very important to her.
In her heart, she had already made a certain decision.
Beside her, Chai Youpeng felt sour in his heart as he watched the goddess of his dreams staring at that arrogant human boy from beginning to end.
"Hmph! This kid named Ning acts very arrogantly, but he doesn't understand the principle that the wind will destroy the tree that stands out from the forest."
"What's the use of being strong in the Qi and Blood Realm? In the ancient history of the Star Sea, there has never been a lack of examples of those who were brilliant in the Qi and Blood Realm but eventually faded into mediocrity."
Ling Wanhe only gave him a faint glance and didn't speak.
But it was this very glance that made Chai Youpeng feel very hurt.
He clenched his fists, his heart filled with irritation.
And on the main grandstand.
The group of deans and instructors were also still immersed in unparalleled shock.
Ning Yuan's monstrous performance just now had truly blinded their eyes.
