Ahead lies the end of this Heaven-Reaching Road. The Milky Way converges at the end of the Heaven-Reaching Road, forming a majestic Star Altar Plaza, where starlight flows on the ground, as if paved by the Star River. At this moment, over two hundred people remaining on the Heaven-Reaching Road are sprinting with all their might. And leading the charge is, without a doubt, Shen Changxi. Having activated her Second Rank innate ability, her speed is astonishingly fast. In the blink of an eye, she is already nearing the finish line. A dazzling light suddenly sped past her side, charging toward the finish line at terrifying speed! The two arrive at the finish line almost simultaneously. Yet, if a powerhouse beyond Third Break were observing, they would notice Jiang Ye is half a body faster than Shen Changxi! Shen Changxi crossed the finish line, looking at the blood-colored silhouette ahead with shock on her face. She had used her second-level innate ability. How could someone be faster than her?! Who is this remarkable person? "Huff~" Jiang Ye, after reaching the Star Altar Plaza, slowed down a bit further before gradually coming to a stop. "It's over." Jiang Ye sighed in relief, turning back: "Am I first?" Just now, he had utilized the ability 'Martial God Instant Track.' Within a hundred meters, he can teleport in any direction! Teleportation also requires time, but it's almost negligible. Thanks to this ability, Jiang Ye narrowly surpassed Shen Changxi at the final moment. Meanwhile, other Upper A Level students also reached the finish line. Liu Wanxiao, Yun Qing'Er... Besides Jiang Ye and Shen Changxi, the gaps between the top ten were not large. Ten seconds later, Middle A Level students also arrived at the Star Altar Plaza. Then the A Level students. Finally, the B Level students. Five minutes later, a total of over three hundred people arrived at the Star Altar Plaza. The others were all eliminated. "C Level students, and D Level students, were mostly eliminated." Jiang Ye looked back, thinking to himself: "Basically, only B Level and above can pass this trial." It wasn't much different from the 30% pass rate he understood before. Penglai University's Heaven-Reaching Refining for admission is indeed difficult! "First place!" Jiang Ye grinned. Just then, Zhao Qingli, Xu Haoran, Song Wanbai, and others rushed over. They all passed this trial. "Brother Jiang!" Xu Haoran's face was full of amazement: "Did you really take first place?!" The plan was to vie for the provincial first place. How did you get the national first place! This isn't reasonable!! Song Wanbai also looked at Jiang Ye with disbelief. A young man from a small mountain town like An City, now strong enough to compete alongside Tao Bone innate gifts without falling behind? "Jiang Ye, how... how did you get first?" Zhao Qingli was even more incredulous. She wasn't bothered about being surpassed by Jiang Ye. But to be the Newborn first place? That's too exaggerated! "Just lucky, just lucky." Jiang Ye smiled. Achieving first place this time was indeed lucky for him. If it weren't for Yun Qing'Er's help, even with 'Martial God Instant Track,' Jiang Ye might not have surpassed Shen Changxi. Thinking of this, he looked toward a delicate figure not far away. Yun Qing'Er stood alone in a corner, her face still timid. "Yun Qing'Er." Jiang Ye walked over and said: "Thank you for earlier." Yun Qing'Er lowered her head and said softly: "No need to thank me, you're Sister Tong'Er's friend, so I helped you." Jiang Ye was slightly surprised, then smiled: "No matter the reason, I still want to thank you." Yun Qing'Er looked up, perplexed, gave him a glance, said nothing more, and nodded. Jiang Ye didn't say more either, walking to another spot. Just then, a figure with white hair walked over to him. "Congratulations! First place." Shen Changxi, with an aloof and dustless temperament, looked at him and said: "You're impressive." "Just lucky." Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile. "Doesn't it hurt?" Shen Changxi looked at him, with a hint of amazement in her faint red pupils. Being overtaken by Jiang Ye, she was regretful but not overly concerned. After all, she had tried her best. But what truly surprised her was Jiang Ye's blood-gouged body still able to burst out such terrifying speed. That's right! Jiang Ye's body is riddled with holes. The injuries seem extreme, with visible white bones. Shen Changxi asked herself, in her position, she might not be able to maintain such composure. Not far away, Liu Wanxiao also walked over, couldn't help but gasp: "Are you okay? Earlier, my Pulse Domain caused offense." "No problem." Jiang Ye shook his head: "All for the sake of competing for positions." The Pulse Domain was not aimed solely at him. "Impressive." Liu Wanxiao shook his head with admiration: "Injured yet able to run so fast, I couldn't do it!" "Injured ?" Jiang Ye heard, looked at his injuries. Then he shook his head. After all, the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder's Second Layer, he experiences ten times this kind of pain every day. Just then, a strange fluctuation unfolded above the Star Altar Plaza. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵 Suddenly, a vast golden Star River appeared from the dome of the Star Altar, cascading down to everyone on the plaza. "It's the Penglai Gift!" "Finally here, sit down and absorb quickly." Everyone showed expressions of surprise. With a swoosh~ over three hundred freshmen on the plaza sat down cross-legged. Jiang Ye was no exception. "Penglai Gift?" Jiang Ye sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the golden Star River. Previously, Zhao Qingli told him, this Penglai Celestial Tower is similar to Star Sea Divine Path. Unexpectedly, it also has a similar Star Sea Gift as Penglai Gift! The former Star Sea Gift boosted him by a tenth of his life strength. If the Penglai Gift has even half the effect, it's very precious. Soon, the golden star river poured down on Jiang Ye like anointment. Penglai Gift! It begins. Inside the Penglai Celestial Tower, the space was already boiling. "First place, Jiang Ye!" "Is this Jiang Ye really with Original Talent?" "Did the data mess up? Isn't he confirmed to be with Tao Bone Talent? He should be ranked middle-upper among Tao Bone Talents!" The instructors were all incredibly surprised. Among them was Chen Yuntian, these high-level professors have seen many prodigies. But Jiang Ye, with just a Lower talent. Managed to surpass Liu Wanxiao, Yun Qing'Er, Shen Changxi, these individuals? Unbelievable! "Jiang Ye, first place?" Even Chen Yuntian and Zhu Honglie were bewildered. Originally in their view, first place would likely be taken by Shen Changxi. If anything unexpected happened, Liu Wanxiao could also win. Even Yun Qing'Er taking first makes sense. But Jiang Ye? How on earth did he do it! "Did you all see the speed he burst out with in the end?" "Indeed, somewhat resembled a Tao Bone level ability!" "Data mistake? Impossible, there's a talent test at birth and during college entrance exams, most unlikely to be wrong twice." All the teachers were discussing. Tao Bone talents have astonishing abilities. Jiang Ye's performance just now had many unreasonable aspects. But if it's a Tao Bone Talent? Then it all makes sense. Yet, Jiang Ye is merely with Original Talent. "What level of contract do you think we should elevate for this student Jiang Ye?" Elder Bai suddenly asked. Elder Bai speaking brought silence among everyone. As soon as they heard Elder Bai's question, all the teachers present showed solemn expressions. With Jiang Ye taking first place, the contract level must be elevated. But.... to what level? That's the question!
