As Jiang Ye received the school's notification. At the same time, thousands of newborn students of the 2326th class at Penglai University also received that notification. On the campus network. "Breaking into the top ten earns 100,000 points? And the champion can get 1 million?" Google seaʀᴄh 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁 "The top ten, I must get it." "100,000 points are secondary, more importantly, it's the qualification to participate in the Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup!" "The top ten from our school, in the Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup, will at worst rank in the top fifty, which has a reward of tens of millions!" "Top ten! Top ten! Top ten!" The new student competition is soaring in popularity on the campus network forum. Whether they are A Level students, Middle A, or Upper A students, they all set their sights on the top ten. Of course, a few geniuses have goals beyond that. Heaven Character Area, Manor No. 42. Shen Changxi, clad in red battle armor, with a pair of extraordinarily lavish gilded golden wings hovering behind her. This ensemble, paired with her white hair and red eyes, makes her look incredibly enchanting. "It must be mine." Shen Changxi looked at the projection in front of her, her gaze resolute. In the freshman entrance trial, she was surpassed by Jiang Ye, who came out of nowhere halfway through. This time, she will reclaim the title of first place. "Securing second, striving for first?" A handsome young man in a brilliant black battle armor looked at the reward list, his eyes dazzling like stars. "No, I want to win the championship!!" Liu Wanxiao suddenly grasped the long knife on his back. An overwhelming martial arts qi spirit burst forth from him abruptly. "Boom!" A radiant star ring slowly rose from behind him, releasing an incredibly frightening pressure. If any powerhouse at the peak of the First Break were nearby, they would be shocked by this pressure. The effects of the Starry Sky Armor are merely imitations of anomalies. They do not emit any fluctuations. This pressure genuinely comes from Liu Wanxiao himself. "Now, I am incredibly powerful." A smile appeared on Liu Wanxiao's face: "Whether it's Shen Changxi, Yun Qing'er... or Jiang Ye, no one can stop me from taking the championship!" On this day, the campus was stirred up. But none of this had anything to do with Jiang Ye. The freshmen competition only starts tomorrow. Today, he still followed the cultivation plan set by Teacher Zhu Honglie. Without this plan, Jiang Ye would find it difficult to break through from the mid-period of the First Break to the peak of the First Break in just three months. Jiang Ye gently tapped the matte black bracelet on his wrist. "Buzz~" A fine humming sound suddenly rang out. Liquid metal poured out from the gaps of the bracelet like a living creature, wrapping around his entire body along his arms, automatically fitting the body's contours wherever it passed. In just a moment, it turned into a set of gray-black metallic armor. This was the starry sky armor that Jiang Ye had previously customized! After all, being a free custom piece, it did not present anomaly effects. But the abilities that the starry sky armor should have are not lacking, such as flight, combat power enhancement, laser weapons, and the like, all equipped one by one. "With this armor, my combat power has almost reached the Second Break." Jiang Ye thought to himself. On the wall hung a pitch-black nine-foot spear. The spear shaft entwined with nine profound black coiling dragons, while the spear tip flickered with a blinding white light, like dawn tearing through the night sky. "Black Dragon Dawn." Jiang Ye gripped the long spear. Profound Tier Star Weapon! Although it is only a lower grade of the Profound Tier, its power does not fall short of the golden dagger Zhang Jianwu lent him back in the day, and is even superior. Jiang Ye slung the long spear onto his back and walked outside the villa. "Boom!" The next moment, he transformed into a flowing light shooting skyward, heading toward the teaching building. One of the most distinctive abilities of the Starry Sky Armor is flight! This belonged to the abilities of the Third Break and above; as long as one wears the Starry Sky Armor, even the First Break can fly. Jiang Ye arrived at the Starry Sky Teaching Building, and the armor on his body retracted back into the bracelet like flowing water. He went straight to the training room on the second floor. "Jiang Ye, you finally came." "Just waiting for you." Xu Haoran, Deng Yunfei, and others were already present. "Teacher." Jiang Ye bowed to Zhu Honglie in front: "Sorry for being late." "Everyone is here." Zhu Honglie said lightly with his hands behind his back: "I called you here today mainly to talk about tomorrow's competition." Upon hearing this, everyone, including Jiang Ye, perked up their ears. "There are nine of you in total." "My requirement for you is that everyone must enter the top fifty." Zhu Honglie said lightly: "Xu Haoran, Deng Yunfei, both of you strive to enter the top ten." "Yun Qing'er, aim for the top three." Zhu Honglie paused slightly, his gaze resting on Jiang Ye, and said in a deep voice: "Ensure a top ten, strive for first!" "Yes!" Jiang Ye responded solemnly. Everyone else was invigorated, looking at Jiang Ye in surprise. Before this, they did not know the goals Zhu Honglie had set for Jiang Ye. "For Jiang Ye to take the first place?" "Isn't that a bit difficult?" "I heard that Shen Changxi, Liu Wanxiao reached the peak of the First Break two months ago." "Is Teacher really this confident in Jiang Ye?" The students present were all quite surprised. First place in the freshman competition? It's tough! But since Zhu Honglie had said so, it indicated he had confidence in Jiang Ye. This made Xu Haoran, Deng Yunfei, and others even more astonished. Yun Qing'er also looked at Jiang Ye in confusion; logically, she should be the strongest among their peers here. Yet the goal set by the teacher for her was still not as high as Jiang Ye's? "Just how strong is he right now?" Yun Qing'er couldn't help but wonder randomly. In these three months, they hardly saw each other. After all, they usually practiced alone, even when consulting Zhu Honglie, it was a private one-on-one consultation. So, including Yun Qing'er, none of them knew Jiang Ye's true strength. "After the competition, I will arrange combat tasks for you." Zhu Honglie continued: "There will be generous rewards for completing them as well." "I will arrange different levels of combat tasks based on your performance in the new student competition." Including Jiang Ye, everyone was very curious. Combat tasks? The teacher had mentioned them before. "Let's stop here about the competition." Zhu Honglie did not elaborate further, he said lightly: "Now begin the teaching segment, Jiang Ye, starting with you." "Yes." Jiang Ye immediately stood up and followed along. Time passed like water. A day went by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was October 31st. On this day, all freshmen of Penglai University's first year collectively fell silent. Over a thousand freshmen, all at the same time, headed to the virtual starry sky world to compete. A grand freshman competition thereby kicked off. In Manor No. 41 of the Heaven Character Area. Jiang Ye, too, received the notification from the school immediately. [Student Jiang Ye, the freshman competition has begun, please enter the independent starry sky immediately to compete!] "The freshman competition has started." Jiang Ye glanced at the time; it was exactly eight in the morning. "Hope that by nine, the competition will be over." Jiang Ye took a deep breath and sat into the virtual cabin. "Beep."
