46: Chapter 46 The Exchange Competition Officially Begins

Among the strategies of the major academies, the goal was to preserve their own combat strength as much as possible before the final battle, even if it was just a group of Light Opening Realm Ability Users.

There was a precedent for this; it was rumored that in a past competition, both sides engaged in a fierce firefight.

In the end, the S-Rank powerhouses of both sides fought until they were exhausted, and one side defeated their opponent with a slight advantage.

But before he could even rejoice, people from the opposing academy swarmed him, while his own team had long been eliminated, with few left.

At first, it was just a few A and B-Rank Ability Users; he could barely handle them and defeated them with all his might.

But by then, he was almost unable to move, and a group of the most inconspicuous C-Rank Ability Users came from behind and finished him off.

Since then, the tradition of protecting teammates began; although it was not needed most of the time, many people feared that "what if."

"The competition is about to begin. Please prepare yourselves, contestants."

A cold, synthesized mechanical voice echoed in the minds of every contestant.

With a swoosh, they felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and everyone was dazed; in the blink of an eye, they arrived in a brand-new world.

All contestants were scattered, including Chen Xing, who landed in a mountain forest.

"Bang!"

Not long after moving forward, a battle broke out near Chen Xing, and the violent fluctuations destroyed the trees.

In the distance were two Divine Sea Realm Level 3 Ability Users; judging by their clothing, they were students from Zhenyan Academy and Shengyuan Academy.

The strength of an ability is determined by its Origin, which is usually difficult to gauge.

But Chen Xing had the Minds Eye, which could detect its essence, and he could see that the two's ability Rank was C, which was already quite strong.

"Hey... brother, if I remember correctly, I met you when I first landed last year, right?" the Disciple from Zhenyan Academy said.

"It really is you. Someone helped you escape back then, otherwise you would have been the first person eliminated!" the Disciple from Shengyuan Academy snorted coldly.

"Today is different from the past; it's not certain who will eliminate whom!"

"Come on!"

...

"Snap!"

Just as the two were deadlocked, a figure approached rapidly and, with lightning speed, blew up the head of one of them.

Before the other could react, he met Chen Xing's calm gaze and was stunned on the spot.

"Bang!"

Chen Xing didn't speak either; he went up and delivered a Light-Speed Punch, shattering his brain.

Both hits struck vital points, decapitating them; even a god would find it hard to cure that.

With a swoosh, Chen Xing's Virtual World assistant appeared.

"Killed two Divine Sea Realm Ability Users, gained 100 points. Current total points: 100."

From entering to now, only five minutes had passed, and someone had already obtained one hundred points; this speed was astonishing.

Soon, Chen Xing's name and information appeared on the leaderboard, currently ranked fifth.

First Place: Su He, S-Rank Stars, Divine Sea Level 9, from Tianhe Academy, total points 300.

Second Place: Chu Li, S-Rank Divine Fire, Divine Sea Level 6, from Niliu Academy, total points 250.

Third Place: Wu Hang, S-Rank Heavenly Martial Armor, Divine Sea Level 9, from Niliu Academy, total points 200.

Fourth Place: Shangguan Xu, S-Rank Divine Ice, Divine Sea Level 9, from Niliu Academy, total points 150.

Fifth Place: Chen Xing, S-Rank Divine Light, Divine Sea Level 4, from Tianhe Academy, total points: 100.

Sixth Place...

Meanwhile, all parties were alarmed.

"What? Five minutes? What kind of speed is this?"

"The top five are all S-Rank, so that's not surprising."

"First place Su He, second place Chu Li, third place Wu Hang, fourth place Zhang Zhiyu... wait a second, who is this Chen Xing in fifth place?"

"Tianhe System, Light System... S-Rank!"

"What? Where did Tianhe System get an S-Rank Light System?!"

"..."

Chen Xing's identity was exposed on the spot, shocking all the contestants who were watching the changes on the leaderboard.

"That's impossible, as far as I know, their youngest S-Rank is still a freshman; shouldn't he be in the Light Opening Realm battlefield?"

"That's right, he's a freshman; how could he have Divine Sea Level 4 cultivation? Could there be a mistake somewhere?"

"Are you questioning the competition officials?"

Some students from the same academy gathered together and engaged in a heated discussion.

Meanwhile, inside the gymnasium outside.

This place was completely enclosed, with large screens extending in all directions, broadcasting exciting footage of the top ten characters fighting.

The audience sat here, as if experiencing it personally, able to see lifelike contestants.

"Who is this Chen Xing?"

"Too terrifying, killing a Divine Sea Realm Ability User with two punches; is he a Physical Taoism type Ability User?"

"Are you blind? The leaderboard clearly says Light Element; how could it be Physical Taoism type?"

"That shouldn't be right; is the Physical Body of an Elemental Ability User this terrifying? One punch, and the speed is so fast that people can't react!"

"..."

Chen Xing's performance undoubtedly caused an uproar, and many people who didn't know the situation widened their eyes.

Just as Chen Xing said, he doesn't make a move until he's ready to stun everyone.

In just a few minutes, his name quickly climbed to major news and headlines, and the discussion in the forums soared.

Seeing this scene, Ye Jianxing, as his teacher, was gratified.

"Old Ye, you didn't make a mistake, right? Why does this kid's fighting style look more and more like our Department of Physical Taoism?" Yue Shanhai, sitting beside him, had a strange expression.

"You personally selected the student for me, why are you asking me?" Ye Jianxing glanced at him.

"Hiss... this isn't right. Could it be that he cultivated some Heaven-Defying Body Refining battle technique? Otherwise, it's impossible to have such strength and speed!" Yue Shanhai gasped.

"Hmm, that's not wrong." Ye Jianxing nodded and admitted it directly.

Yue Shanhai was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

"What the hell... he's a Light Element who cultivated the Five Elements?!"

"Won't he have elemental rejection? Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me?" Yue Shanhai widened his eyes.

"Look at his state; he kills an Ability User with one punch, what kind of rejection could he have? I think the victims who were killed are the ones who are quite rejecting of him." Ye Jianxing said indifferently.

"..." Yue Shanhai was speechless.

...

Inside the battlefield.

"Not bad, Old Chen, you made it to the top ten in just a few minutes!" Qin Feng was sincerely happy for his brother.

"Since that's the case, I can't fall behind..."

"Whoosh!"

Just at this moment, a black shadow flew out from behind Qin Feng; the person was holding a dagger and fiercely stabbed towards his head.

Qin Feng reacted quickly, dodging easily with a sidestep.

"Boom!"

He unleashed his ability, and a red Dragon Soul appeared, wrapping around his body, making his entire frame grow a size larger.

"Bang!"

Qin Feng raised his hand, and the Dragon Claw Technique from the Dragon Soul Secret Tome appeared. He grabbed forward, and a powerful suction force pulled the opponent over.

"Not good!" The Shadow System Ability User's expression changed drastically, and he quickly used a battle technique, wanting to break free.

"Bang!" Qin Feng backhanded, and the Dragon Claw sliced his body open, then he delivered a heavy punch to his head, killing the opponent!
