47: Chapter 47 What is she doing here?
"This kid... isn't he a bit too much of a Prodigy?"
Jiang Baihe looked at the white-clothed figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the arena, murmuring to himself.
But immediately afterward, a deep sense of relief and excitement welled up in his heart.
"The Star Sacred Bone is truly extraordinary! My mentor has a successor at last!"
The other deans and instructors beside him were also still immersed in the shocking solo performance from earlier, unable to calm down for a long time.
One person facing dozens of foreign race geniuses head-on, including the three favorites to win, such as Jin Jiao!
In the end, he suppressed them all with overwhelming force!
Such a terrifying record, looking across the long history of the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky, was something only the very top tier of Prodigys among their peers could achieve!
Who would have thought that their Great Xia Martial Academy would one day produce such a figure!
"Where on earth did this little fellow come from?"
The eldest dean, Zhuang Chen, finally unable to contain his curiosity, began using his authority to pull up Ning Yuan's file from the academy's internal database.
As it turned out, the file was set with the highest level of clearance and was firmly locked.
And the source of the clearance setting actually pointed to Jiang Baihe.
For a moment.
Everyone's gaze fell on Jiang Baihe in unison.
Jiang Baihe felt a bit uncomfortable under their gaze. He coughed twice and explained with a hollow laugh, "Ahem, that... he's a child from a distant relative's family. I also didn't expect this kid to be so successful."
Hearing this, everyone simply didn't believe his explanation.
A distant relative?
Like hell anyone would believe that!
There was definitely a huge secret involved!
The bald dean, Li Mang, even winked and joked, "Old Jiang, tell us the truth. This kid isn't your illegitimate son from outside, is he?"
Jiang Baihe grew anxious on the spot.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Qinglan beside him also looking at him with a searching gaze.
His mind raced, and he immediately diverted the attention elsewhere:
"Speaking of which, that Jin Jiao has already been eliminated. Dean Jiang, Dean Ren, what about the bet between you two now?"
Jiang Qinglan's eyes instantly lit up.
She extended her slender hand toward the grim-faced Ren Wanlong and said, "Dean Ren, where is my Bright Moon Divine Stone? Hand it over!"
Ren Wanlong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"What do you mean yours! That's mine!"
"What? Is the dignified Dean Ren trying to back out?" Jiang Qinglan's gaze instantly became dangerous.
Li Mang also chimed in with a chuckle, "That's right, Old Ren. A man's word is his bond; you can't go back on your promise."
Finally, under everyone's gaze, Ren Wanlong reluctantly took out a strange stone emitting soft moonlight from his dimensional bracelet and handed it over.
Seeing that everyone's attention had been successfully diverted and they were no longer questioning Ning Yuan's identity, Jiang Baihe chuckled inwardly.
He had finally managed to get through that hurdle.
It was naturally for the best that Ning Yuan's true identity wasn't exposed.
...
On the arena.
As Ning Yuan stepped back from the front line, the battle drew to a close once again.
Just when everyone thought the second and third places of this competition would be decided between the two veteran geniuses, Ye Lingjun and Liu Yuhuan.
Another climax erupted on the field!
Jiang Mingyue, after defeating several powerful opponents in succession, actually challenged both Ye Lingjun and Liu Yuhuan simultaneously with an incredibly dominant posture!
Finally, after a thrilling and fierce battle, she suppressed both of them in a two-on-one fight!
She rose to the top with strength, securing second place in this competition!
"Hmph! If I can't deal with that stinky guy, do you think I can't handle the two of you?"
Jiang Mingyue stood on the arena, thinking proudly to herself.
She had finally regained some of the confidence and sense of achievement belonging to a Reborn person.
Speaking of which, these two weren't bad.
Unfortunately, they met her.
Below the stage, countless fangirls who were still cheering for Ning Yuan also let out cries of amazement upon seeing this!
Soon, someone began calling these two peerless Prodigys who had appeared out of nowhere the Martial Academy Twin Stars!
Ning Yuan, who had already reopened his eyes, walked over with a grin upon seeing this.
"Yo, number two, not bad!"
As he spoke, he naturally reached out and put his arm around Jiang Mingyue's shoulder.
The bit of good mood Jiang Mingyue had just gained instantly soured.
This guy, why is he such a buzzkill!
She took a deep breath and swore in her heart.
Just you wait!
After coming out of the ruins this time and once I successfully step into the Transcendent Realm, I'll definitely show you who the real boss is!
On the main viewing stand, Jiang Baihe happily announced the final results of the competition.
"I announce! The final rankings for the Qi and Blood Academy Top 100 Ranking Tournament of this academy competition are as follows!"
"First place, Ning Yuan!"
"Second place, Jiang Yueming!"
"Third place, Ye Lingjun!"
...
Following his announcement, true crystals of fortune emitting mysterious auras fell from the sky like a meteor shower, landing precisely in the hands of each of the top 100 students.
Ning Yuan reached out and easily caught his share.
A full ten pieces, and every single one was of the highest superior quality!
He held them in his hand and sensed them carefully, but didn't find anything special about them.
Jiang Baihe's voice rang out at the right time to clear up everyone's confusion.
"Everyone, before entering the ruins, you only need to dissolve these true crystals of fortune with your own qi and blood power and integrate them into your bodies. At that time, you will naturally know how great the benefits are."
The top 100 students landed one after another.
Jin Jiao and the others had long since been awakened by the academy's medical staff.
Looking at the pitifully small number of low-grade true crystals of fortune in their hands, each of them felt so aggrieved they were about to vomit blood.
Their gazes toward Ning Yuan were filled with both resentment and a hint of irrepressible fear.
Ning Yuan just swept a casual glance over them.
Those foreign race members who were still feeling resentful just a moment ago all felt their hearts tremble and instinctively lowered their heads.
They had been completely traumatized.
The Ning Yuan on the arena earlier was simply too strong, so strong he didn't even seem human!
Jin Jiao clenched his fists tightly, roaring unwillingly in his heart.
"Just wait! Once we're in the ruins and I'm the first to step into the fourth rank! At that time, I will definitely make you pay for what you did today!"
He had already learned some secrets about this ruin from the elders of his clan.
For this, he had also made some special preparations.
When the time comes.
I'll definitely make things difficult for Ning Yuan!
"Very good!"
On the rostrum, Jiang Baihe's voice rang out loudly again.
"The competition for the Qi and Blood Academy has successfully concluded! Next, the competition for the top one thousand spots in the Transcendent Academy will take place!"
As his voice fell.
The students of the Transcendent Academy had mostly stepped out. Silver flowers flew once more, transforming into arenas even larger than before, as the destructive power of those in the Transcendent Realm was much greater than those in the Qi and Blood Realm.
Among them were Lu Sheng and Zhou Qi.
"Good luck, third and fourth!"
Ning Yuan was below the stage, grinning as he cheered them on.
"Don't lose face for me!"
Hearing this, both of them patted their chests and loudly guaranteed, "Don't worry, Boss! Top one thousand is a sure thing!"
You've got to be kidding!
With the personal instruction of these two perverted big shots, Ning Yuan and Jiang Mingyue, if they couldn't even make the top one thousand, they might as well just find a piece of tofu to bash their heads against!
Jiang Mingyue, standing aside, also gave them a rare encouraging nod.
Just then.
A stunning figure dressed in a moon-white long dress slowly walked through the crowd toward them.
Everyone present was filled with confusion upon seeing this.
Wasn't that the goddess of the ling clan, Ling Wanhe?
Instead of participating in the competition, what was she doing over here at the Qi and Blood Academy?
