51: The list of hidden talents has been released!

The next day.

Twelve o'clock noon.

The hidden dragon ranking was about to be released!

For all the New Students of Modu Beast University, this was undoubtedly a day most worthy of attention!

As one of the three major rankings, the hidden dragon ranking, like the beast king ranking and the beast god ranking, stood in the form of a stone tablet in the very center of Modu Beast University!

Three stone tablets stood here, each several dozen meters high!

At this moment, many students had already arrived early, waiting just for the release of the hidden dragon ranking!

"It's already twelve o'clock, why hasn't it been released yet?"

"What's the rush? It's not released exactly on the hour; it'll be out in another five minutes!"

"By the way, how exactly are the rankings determined for this initial release?"

"How else? It's based on your results during the Beast Refining Assessment, of course."

"Isn't the maximum for the Beast Refining Assessment just ten rounds? Wouldn't there be a huge crowd of people with the same rank?"

"If you cleared ten rounds, then it naturally depends on the speed of the clear."

"Generally speaking, the faster the clear speed, the higher your ranking will naturally be."

Lin Yuan walked toward the stone tablet while listening to the surrounding discussions.

He had originally been curious about how the initial rankings of the hidden dragon ranking were determined.

But after hearing what these people were discussing, he quickly understood.

As it turned out, it was according to the results of the Beast Refining Assessment.

Furthermore, if the results were the same, the ranking would be divided based on the speed of completion.

Looking at it this way, his own ranking probably wouldn't be very high.

Even though he had also cleared ten rounds of Beast Refining, back when he participated in the Beast Refining Assessment, he had forcibly pushed through the first two rounds without performing Beast Soul Fusion just to warm up.

While it helped Lin Yuan regain some of his old combat feeling, it also wasted quite a bit of time.

Under these circumstances, the time it took for Lin Yuan to clear ten rounds of Beast Refining naturally couldn't be very fast.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Upon the stone tablet representing the hidden dragon ranking, a light screen appeared, and rows of names quickly emerged!

First place: Wu Xuangu, Awakened beast soul: [Golden Winged Centipede King]!

Second place: Shen Cang, Awakened beast soul: [Azure Snow White Fang]!

Third place: Wang Linhu, Awakened beast soul: [Crimson Flame Violent Tiger]!

...Tenth place: Song Lan, Awakened beast soul: [Seven-Colored Glazed Butterfly]!

The information announced by the hidden dragon ranking was very concise.

There were only three items of information: rank, name, and Awakened beast soul.

It had to be said that Wang Jinze's intelligence was still quite accurate.

At the very least, Lin Yuan had seen the vast majority of the names in the top fifty of the hidden dragon ranking in the intelligence Wang Jinze had given him.

In fact, Wang Jinze's intelligence was even more detailed, noting the approximate corresponding strength of each person.

For example, for the first-ranked Wu Xuangu, the estimated strength in the intelligence was Beast King Level Three Star.

However, this was merely an estimate.

Predictions on paper are never accurate.

Exactly how strong Wu Xuangu was, probably no one knew except for himself.

Moreover, several days had already passed since the start of the school term.

Who could guarantee that during this time, Wu Xuangu's strength hadn't made a further Breakthrough?

Besides this, Lin Yuan also saw Song Lan's name in the tenth position on the hidden dragon ranking.

Looking at it this way, Modu Beast University was truly a place where Geniuses were as common as clouds and Prodigies ran rampant.

Even Song Lan, the Top Scorer of Modu City, could only be ranked tenth.

Subsequently, Lin Yuan continued to look down and finally saw his own name at the three hundred and twelfth position.

In other words, with his Beast Refining Assessment results, he could only be ranked three hundred and twelfth among the New Students.

It seemed that in Modu Beast University, a conservative estimate was that about four hundred New Students had cleared the ten rounds of the Beast Refining Assessment.

However, Lin Yuan also knew in his heart that the current hidden dragon ranking was only temporary.

In just a few days, the rankings on the hidden dragon ranking would undergo earth-shaking changes.

After all, using Beast Refining Assessment results to measure a Beast Soul Master's strength originally had a large margin of error.

After the hidden dragon ranking's rankings were announced, the rules regarding the hidden dragon ranking also quickly spread among the New Students.

Although Lin Yuan didn't pay special attention, he heard most of it from the discussions of others.

The rules of the hidden dragon ranking were very simple.

The first rule: those with a lower rank can only challenge those with a higher rank, and the difference in ranking between the two parties must not exceed twenty places.

If the challenge is successful, they can take the other party's rank.

In other words, since Lin Yuan's current rank was three hundred and twelfth, the highest he could challenge was the person ranked two hundred and ninety-second.

As long as he won, Lin Yuan's rank would rise to two hundred and ninety-second.

The second rule: each person has only one challenge opportunity per day, and the person being challenged cannot refuse the first three challenges of the day.

After three challenges, they can freely choose whether to accept further challenges.

This rule was considered quite humane.

If there were no limit on the number of challenges, the top ten New Students would probably have to accept dozens of challenges a day.

In that case, they probably wouldn't even have time to Cultivate.

The third rule: each person has one opportunity per week for an over-rank challenge, which can expand the challenge ranking range from twenty places to one hundred places.

The fourth rule: during the challenge process, prohibited drugs are not allowed, but the use of beast god weapons is permitted, provided that the beast god weapon used corresponds to one's own level.

In other words, a Beast King Level Beast Soul Master can only use beast god weapons of the Beast King Level or below, and cannot use a lord rank beast god weapon beyond their level.

This rule was naturally to maintain the fairness of the competition.

After all, a high-level beast god weapon provides a huge boost to a Beast Soul Master's strength.

The fifth rule: during the challenge process, when one party admits defeat or loses the ability to fight, it should be terminated immediately.

If a situation occurs where a Beast Soul Master dies during the challenge, the school will participate in the adjudication.

If it is determined to be malicious killing, their student status will be immediately revoked, and they will be punished according to relevant laws!

...It could be seen that Modu Beast University's regulations for the hidden dragon ranking were quite comprehensive, with almost no loopholes to speak of.

To be among the best on the hidden dragon ranking, there was no other way but to rely on one's own strength!

If one's own strength was insufficient, no matter how high the ranking was, they would soon be knocked down!

The competition for the hidden dragon ranking was just that cruel.

Lin Yuan could already foresee that the coming week would surely be a chaotic dance of demons, where various Geniuses and Prodigies would surely emerge as sudden forces!

And the rankings on the hidden dragon ranking... would inevitably undergo massive changes!
