61: The ranked battles are over, only humanity endures!

Principal Xia finally finished his roasted fish and walked to the front of the stage.

He first signaled to turn off the live broadcast, then addressed all the students present:

"The Freshman Ranking Battle, specifically the Eight Prodigies Battle, has concluded! For the subsequent ranking contention, those with objections can directly enter the Virtual Combat Space to challenge."

"The Twin Kings and Six Prodigies are not within the challenge scope."

Principal Xia directly implied that Jiang Hao and Feng Qiluo no longer belonged to the ranks of top Prodigies.

With their strength, they should be 'Heaven-Defying Prodigies!'

Eight Prodigies Battle

"Jiang Hao ranks first, receiving 500 points. The other seven receive 200 points.

From now on, each of these eight will receive 100 points every month."

"As for the students ranked 9th to 100th, they will uniformly receive 100 points, and 10 points each month!"

"Excluding the eight, students in other ranks can challenge five times each month to update their ranking! However, there are no rewards for this."

"If a student outside the top hundred enters the top hundred, they will receive 100 points for the first time."

"Alright, upon reporting, your enrollment points rewards have been issued."

"Everyone, you may return to your dorms or choose your preferred course instructors. Your time is free to arrange."

"Seven days later, school officially begins!"

"Dismissed!"

"Oh!!!" All the freshmen in the audience cheered excitedly.

After all, they had just arrived and hadn't really toured the school environment before being dragged to watch the big shots fight each other.

For the next seven days, they planned to have a good time!

Feng Qiluo had recovered and composed herself.

Though her Face was still pale, and she walked unsteadily.

"As per our agreement, you are my captain," Feng Qiluo walked over, frankly admitting her defeat.

Jiang Hao nodded and extended his right hand: "Please guide me more in the future!"

However, Feng Qiluo seemed to react instinctively, directly avoiding the direction of his right hand.

Watching Feng Qiluo, whose dizziness worsened from her quick dodge, Jiang Hao's eye twitched.

"Seriously, is it that bad?"

Feng Qiluo didn't speak, just silently returned to her throne.

Looking at the six others who wanted to gossip but were afraid of being beaten, wanting to interject but not daring.

Feng Qiluo pointed and said, "So, have you chosen your teammates?"

"Although these few aren't strong, they're already much better than the other students."

Xia Pengcheng was once again struck a blow.

Except for Yu Xiyao, who looked like she had given up and didn't care.

Even Xing Yingyue, who was usually expressionless, showed annoyance.

Although we really can't beat you two, we're still top Prodigies, alright!

The top eight figures of this year's Xia Kingdom!

Don't we deserve some Face?

Unfortunately, truth is only held by a few, especially Feng Qiluo's meaningful gaze.

It immediately made the five put on smiling Faces.

Jiang Hao, however, was a little hesitant.

It wasn't for any other reason; the 'Global Martial Arts School Freshman League' wouldn't start until February next year.

By then, he might already be able to easily defeat Tier 7 Martial Artists!

He could even directly prepare for the Martial School League in the first semester of his sophomore year!

At that time, even with four pigs as teammates, he could still rampage and slaughter!

Even without the support of teammates, I can defeat all the global freshmen!

Jiang Hao thought proudly.

At this moment.

Ye Lingxi, who had been silent, spoke in her ethereal voice:

"A team isn't just about one person being strong to win in the end!"

"Oh?" Jiang Hao looked at everyone curiously.

Seeing all seven nod, Jiang Hao said strangely:

"I watched last year's competition too, wasn't it just about killing, killing, killing, and blowing up all enemies?"

Feng Qiluo instantly showed a shocked expression: You actually don't know the specific rules and still want to be captain?

Her pupils suddenly constricted, and she shouted:

"That's for the top 32 finals!"

"The group stage before that is a point system, where 5 people take turns going up for one-on-one battles. No matter how good you are, Captain, you can only get one point per match!"

"And the group stage usually isn't broadcast live, because some students want to hide their trump cards, so they fight in a sealed arena!"

"Damn it!"

Jiang Hao couldn't help but curse.

No wonder when he watched Senior Zhou rampage through the Global Martial Schools alone, he still had four cheerleaders with him!

"Alright, I don't know who to choose. We'll talk about it later!"

Jiang Hao still chose to pass the buck to his future self.

Please, future me!

On the side, Xia Pengcheng showed an anxious expression, constantly scratching himself like a monkey.

His Face was practically screaming: Why don't you choose me? Choose me! I'm about to kneel and beg you.

Jiang Hao and the others knowingly changed the subject, deliberately avoiding discussion of team members.

Student Xia still lacks experience; he can't hide his thoughts. It'll be better after he experiences a few more harsh lessons from society!

...

Yunxiao Martial Arts School, male dormitory.

Class Monitor and Zhang Jiangyou, being from the same hometown, were arranged into the same dormitory by the school upon registration.

"Jiangyou! Can you stop being so competitive? There are still several days until school starts!"

Zhang Jiangyou didn't reply, still sitting on his bed, moving vital energy to Cultivate.

He was about to Breakthrough to the Second Heaven; by the time school started, entering the top hundred of Yunxiao Martial Arts School would be no problem!

"Wow! Brother Jiang's last ranking battle!" Class Monitor excitedly watched Jiang Hao's confident posture.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Jiangyou also squeezed over.

"Can Jiang Hao take first place?" Zhang Jiangyou asked.

"Damn it! Don't you have your own wristband? Get away from me, don't crowd me!"

Class Monitor pushed him away in disgust, then immediately @everyone in the class group chat.

Yun Family, reception room.

Elder Li leisurely drank tea, looking at Yun Liekong, whose mental state was completely different.

"Little Yun, next year's rotation mission to Otherworld No. 4 will be entrusted to you! Young people need more experience."

The Old Family Head of the Yun Family's hand stiffened. He looked at Elder Li and said:

"Elder Li, isn't that a bit much? I've only just reached the Saint rank! I don't even have my Saint Weapon yet. Wouldn't I be going there just to die?"

"Don't worry, would I trick you? Otherworld No. 4 has Saint rank Martial Artists from the Zhou Family and Xia Family; you just need to coast along!"

Shenluo Empire, Shengluo Martial School.

A mature woman with dazzling golden hair came to the prayer room.

She knocked on the door, and after hearing a "Please come in," she cautiously walked in.

The prayer room was adorned with exquisite cross decorations, and the walls were hung with Bible stories and murals.

Under the soft light.

The woman looked at the man quietly kneeling on the carpet in front, a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

The man with long silver-white hair, dressed in a simple white robe, turned his head and looked over.

His eyes and hair were both silver-white, and his features were sharp and delicate.

The only thing that felt out of place was that...

The man was not praying before a holy image or a cross, but a giant map of Blue Star World.

"Captain! Today, during the Freshman Ranking Battle at Shenzhou Martial Arts School in Xia Kingdom, two Prodigies emerged who are qualified to be on the First Sequence List!"

The girl, knowing her captain's temperament, said anxiously.

"This is clearly your era, yet people who are about to be on the list keep appearing across Blue Star World!"

"Especially Shenzhou Martial Arts School! Those two have stolen your glory!"

The man, who had been indifferent, finally looked seriously at his team member.

"Helena, do you think being on the First Sequence List is an honor?"

"Ah?! Of course, Captain! In the past twenty years, besides that Zhou Weifeng from Xia Kingdom, you're the second one to be on the list!"

The man shook his head and looked at the Blue Star World map.

"You are mistaken! Being on the list represents trust, and also a huge responsibility! This responsibility is enough to crush those with insufficient Destiny Star."

"Every Prodigy who makes it to the First Sequence List undergoes long-term observation by the council members: talent, character, and stance!"

The man's silver-white long hair swayed, and his Tier 4 vital energy fluctuations unabashedly filled the entire prayer room.

Helena immediately felt as if she had lost her way forward, with defeat all around her.

Her fate was no longer her own to control!

His silver-white pupils looked towards the location of Xia Kingdom on the map.

"As long as they can become 'Destiny Star' in the future, and fight for Blue Star World, for humanity."

"Then even if twenty First Sequence List members appear in Xia Kingdom, I would only be happy!"

"I believe the other six also think this way. The two Prodigies from Xia Kingdom are about to be on the list."

"Then, this generation will have nine!"

The expressionless man's eyes, however, seemed to burn with a rising flame.

"The many Evil Gods killed by the council members are about to return, and the Exotic Beast World has also been eyeing Blue Star World for a long time."

"Humanity must give birth to more council members!"

The man looked at the Blue Star World map on the wall and said fanatically:

"Only... humanity endures!!!"
