43: New player ranking battle, go home!

Yun Yichen looked at the pop-up message, shivered, and looked at Jiang Hao for help:

"Brother Jiang! Help me!"

?

Jiang Hao looked at this steady player who had typed a question mark.

"Do you know Feng Qiluo? The one Director Ye asked you to add a couple of days ago!"

"Feng Qiluo?" Jiang Hao pondered.

It seemed there was such a person. Director Ye's voice sounded a bit awkward back then, so he added her to save Face for Director Ye.

But she often harassed me, sending some inexplicable messages.

Like, among all heroes in the world, only you and I exist.

Only you are special.

This era should be the era of our contention!

Clearly a Chuunibyo.

I just blocked her.

But isn't Feng Qiluo a screen name?

No way? Does anyone really use their real name online?

"I have an impression, but because I was focused on hunting exotic beasts on Battlefield No. 1, I set my wristband to do not disturb."

"Plus, she sent a lot of messages, so I didn't look."

Jiang Hao half-truthfully bluffed.

Yun Yichen pointed to the dialogue box in front of him and said:

"Because I'm back in Yunxiao Prefecture, this sister asked me to reply to her message."

"How does she know I'm at the Yun Family?" Jiang Hao asked, puzzled.

Yun Yichen said with a bitter Face:

"Of course she doesn't know. She just notified me and told me to do it. If Brother Jiang wasn't at my house today, I would have gone to find you!"

No way, even if you are a bit steady, don't be such a coward!

Jiang Hao opened his wristband speechlessly:

"She's not here, why bother with her!"

"Of course Brother Jiang isn't afraid, after all, your strength is there, you can even call yourself the Eighth Prodigy of Xia Kingdom!"

"But I can't! Because our two families have an engagement, my sister and I went to the Feng Family to play when we were kids, and she always bullied us!"

The expression on Yun Yichen's Face didn't seem fake, and even Yun Qianqian's expression changed, as if the other party was really some great Devil King.

"Eight Prodigies? What a strange title."

Jiang Hao didn't believe anyone could compare to himself.

This is the confidence Dual Cultivation players bring me!

Unblocked.

Ignoring a string of meaningless words, he looked directly at the latest message:

[Feng Qiluo: See you at the start of school, first place in the New Student Ranking Tournament will definitely be mine, Feng Qiluo!]

[I Dont Eat Beef: Hmm, you're right]

He immediately closed his wristband and activated do not disturb, all in one go.

New Student Ranking Tournament?

Does that mean all new students in the school have to fight? With so many people, how long would that take!

Jiang Hao humbly asked for advice.

Yun Qianqian finished her milk tea, casually summoned a water ball to decompose the cup, and after organizing her words for a moment, said:

"It's exactly as it sounds, but not all new students can participate. The school will list one hundred new students."

"Based on their National College Entrance Examination scores and past impressive battle records, an initial ranking will be determined. Those ranked lower can challenge those above them, with each person having five chances."

"These are all very normal duels.

There's also the battle between the most outstanding new students each year, which determines the ranking for the next semester."

"For example, this batch, including you, has a total of eight recognized strongest new students."

"Although you are among those one hundred, the others are not qualified to challenge you in your first year."

"All eight of you are Prodigies who can achieve full marks in the National College Entrance Examination."

"Wait! Sister Qianqian, is it difficult to get full marks? There should be many full marks in those big prefectures, right?"

After all, Grandpa Li said that mastering a Saint-rank Martial Skill early on makes fighting across a major Realm effortless!

And those top-ranked prefectures have more than one Family with Saint-rank Martial Artists.

Yun Qianqian shook her head: "To get full marks, your Realm must be at least Third-rank, right? To get 500 points in the practical combat test means you must Face a Fourth-rank computer AI!"

"And the Fourth-rank computer AI in the National College Entrance Examination will use Saint-rank Martial Skills or Arcane Arts!"

"For example, Chenchen, he also knows a Saint-rank Martial Skill, but he definitely can't defeat a Fourth-rank Martial Artist who possesses a Saint-rank Martial Skill."

Yun Yichen silently raised his hand and said: "The Saint-rank Martial Skill I know is an escape-type movement Martial Skill."

As expected of you!

Jiang Hao turned to signal Yun Qianqian to continue.

Yun Qianqian pouted, took out a new cup of milk tea to moisten her throat, and continued:

"The eight of you in this batch will be in a one-on-one elimination system. It will continue until the first place is decided."

"However... with your strength, it's very likely you'll take first place."

"After all, six of the other seven are only at a level slightly better than Xiaoxiao."

"As for the strongest, Feng Qiluo, no one knows her true strength. But the other six have all been defeated by her."

"Yes, a one-sided crushing defeat."

So, the so-called top Prodigies are only at the level of Fifth-rank Martial Artists? Perhaps a little stronger, but not by much.

As for that Feng Qiluo, I'll give her some Face and say she's Sixth-rank!

Jiang Hao thought confidently.

Although he couldn't unleash Saber Qi capable of killing a Seventh-rank without a spirit weapon, dealing with a Sixth-rank wasn't difficult.

He checked the time and felt it was about right.

After all, Jiang Hao was returning to Yunlan City in the afternoon.

He bid farewell to Yun Qianqian and Yun Yichen, then left the Yun Family.

He left farewell messages on his wristband for everyone he had met in Yunxiao City and on Battlefield No. 1 these past few days.

Looking at the chat screen:

Captain Zeng and Deputy Captain Yan were still dealing with the resistance from the rebellious families.

Liu Da and the others replied, inviting him to dinner next time.

The Yunxiao Martial Arts School's four-person team sent a message wishing the big boss a smooth journey.

Jiang Hao felt a trace of warmth, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

This seven-day journey had come to an end.

Next time he went to Yunxiao City, he might already be a High-Rank Martial Artist!

He headed to the airport with the member from the Martial Unification Bureau sent to pick him up.

On the plane.

Looking at [really want to retire] on the screen.

After hesitating for a while, he still sent a message:

[I Dont Eat Beef: Grandpa Li, I'm back in Yunlan City. See you after the National College Entrance Examination!]

Grandpa Li seemed busy and didn't send a message, but Director Ye sent Jiang Hao a list.

Seeing that almost all the high-ranking members of the Sacred Beast Society on the list had been apprehended, Jiang Hao couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of fate.

Just a few months ago, he was just an ordinary First-rank Martial Artist.

He was helpless against the Sacred Beast Society, which had more than twenty High-Rank Martial Artists.

And now, he already had the strength to threaten a Seventh-rank, and the Sacred Beast Society had met its end.

"What a pity, 'Blood Shadow' didn't come this time," Jiang Hao said, looking at the list.

That 'Blood Shadow' guy was very smart and good at escaping, completely out of place with the other Sacred Beast Society members.

"Ha! It's fine if he didn't come, soon enough, I can deal with you personally!"

Jiang Hao looked out the plane window, the sky was a clear blue, dotted with white clouds.

Jiang Hao squinted slightly, raising his hand to block some of the sunlight.

The sunlight filtered through his fingers, falling on his Face.

"Home!"
