On the Starry Sky arena. Lin Yushu lay outside the edge of the arena, his longsword missing, disheveled and utterly embarrassed. Three months of hard training. Swordsmanship Minor Success! Though it was just a lower Profound Tier swordsmanship, his cultivation speed had already surpassed many classmates around him. Lin Yushu originally thought that even if he couldn't defeat Jiang Ye in this battle, at least it would be an intense fight, back and forth, hard to part with. "Was I insta-killed?" Lin Yushu stared at the figure on the stage, his face full of blankness. From the start of the match to its end. Not even three seconds! He was blasted away by Jiang Ye with one shot. At this moment, Lin Yushu fully realized the gap between himself and Jiang Ye. "Brother Jiang." Lin Yushu got up and couldn't help but say, "Have you already reached the Peak of First Break?" Jiang Ye nodded with a smile. "Hiss!" Updates are released by π™£π™€π™«π™šπ™‘β€’π”£π”¦π”―π”’β€’π•Ÿπ•–π•₯ "You, this guy... truly terrifying." Lin Yushu couldn't help but take in a breath. When he broke through One Break, it was six months earlier than Jiang Ye. How long has it been now? Jiang Ye had reached the Peak of First Break, while he was only in the mid-period of First Break. To reach the Peak of First Break, it would probably take him at least another year, and the Second Break seemed even further away. Lin Yushu paused, then suddenly said, "You must break into the top ten! We in An City are counting on you." Among the three from An City, neither he nor Zhao Qingli had much of a chance in the top ten, or even the top hundred. Jiang Ye was the only one left. Jiang Ye had clearly become the last hope for An City. "I will." Jiang Ye gave him a smile. Lin Yushu took a deep look at him; his figure slowly faded into nothingness. "Top ten?" Jiang Ye muttered to himself. [Student Jiang Ye, you have entered the top 500 sequence, please wait patiently for the start of the next match.] "Top 500." Jiang Ye took a deep breath, his gaze as firm as rock. This is just the beginning. The competition continued. After waiting for a minute in the competition space, Jiang Ye formally entered the next match. The top 500 showdown begins! Jiang Ye resolved his opponent effortlessly within less than ten seconds. As a Peak of First Break, relying solely on his realm is enough to crush over eighty percent of the newborns. Penglai University, after all, isn't like White Dragon University, one of the top schools. Only three months since the start of school, being at the Peak of First Break, even among A Level students, he is exceptional. Jiang Ye advanced to the top 50 like a rocket, without any obstacles. But starting from the top 50 matches, the rules have changed. Jiang Ye arrived on a platform several times more spacious than before. Along with him appeared four others. "Five people per group?" Jiang Ye glanced at the other four and understood the rules of this round. Five people per group, a total of ten groups. Each group eliminates four people, and the last one standing enters the top ten showdown. This rule was somewhat similar to back when he was taking the Preparatory Star Profession assessment. But the difference is. This time, the five people in the same group have all basically reached the Peak of First Break! Their strengths are quite similar. None could manage a 1V4 easily. "Jiang Ye!" a voice came. "Brother Deng." Jiang Ye looked at the other side of the arena, his expression slightly changing. Deng Yunfei was actually in his group! "Whoosh!" Deng Yunfei flashed over to his side, speaking in a gentle tone, "Jiang Ye, let's team up." "Alright." Jiang Ye did not refuse. Because the other three on the platform had already seemingly formed a group, evidently planning to deal with the two of them first. Deng Yunfei, ranked 12th among the newborns. Jiang Ye, ranked 1st among the newborns. Together, the three others naturally wanted to band together since they were all ranked beyond the top twenty. "The three of us, ranked 23rd, 29th, 35th." "That Jiang Ye, though he's the first among the newborns, is said not to be that strong, mainly because Deng Yunfei is hard to deal with." "Let's team up and eliminate the two of them first!" The three newborns on the opposite side of the platform quickly reached an agreement. From within them, there was a faintly repressive Martial Arts Qi Spirit, seemingly ready to burst out at any moment. Likewise, Jiang Ye and Deng Yunfei also stood their ground with a profound aura. The atmosphere was suffocatingly intense. "Boom!" "Boom!" As the text fell, both sides erupted at the same time. Jiang Ye and Deng Yunfei turned into two phantoms, each charging towards their respective opponents. "Take out the weakest one first." Jiang Ye locked his gaze on a thin man. Whoosh~ His long spear moved like a dragon, sweeping away with an incredibly fierce momentum. "Trying to kill me?" The thin man, holding a long halberd, sneered, "You've picked the wrong opponent!" He had heard Jiang Ye's strength at enrollment was around the mid-period of First Break. He managed to be first because of some special constitution. The speed might be quick, but combat strength? Not so much, he believed he could handle him alone. Jiang Ye's figure moved like lightning, holding the long spear, and stabbed explosively towards the opponent. Not everyone could, like him, rely on multiple buffs to achieve a high rank in the newborn trial. The ranking in the newborn trial, in a sense, reflects the level of strength. This thin man was only ranked 35th and was never considered a threat by Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye's figure moved like lightning, fully unleashing the Minor Success level Great Sun Spear Technique. Just such a seemingly simple shot! "Clang!!" The thin man also exploded at the same time, his long halberd sweeping out like a dragon. The next moment, his expression changed dramatically. He only felt a force as overwhelming as a mountain crashing down, as if hit by a massive ship, his figure sent flying. [Pretending: When underestimated by the opponent, immediately increase critical hit damage by 150%] 150% critical hit damage! "Puff!" A bloody hole was pierced through the thin man's chest, blood spraying wildly. His figure quickly faded into nothingness. With just one shot, the freshman ranked 35th, eliminated! "What? A one-shot kill?" "How is this possible?" The other two's expressions changed, this scene was greatly unexpected for them. "Jiang Ye?" Deng Yunfei was also extremely surprised; as Jiang Ye's fellow student he had never thought Jiang Ye's strength was this formidable! Jiang Ye didn't care for their thoughts as he moved like a phantom. "Whoosh!" Charging towards the remaining two. With the spear in hand, like a dragon emerging from the sea! The next moment, Jiang Ye fully erupted. "Fwoosh!" The long spear was like a storm of wind and rain, bursting forth with dozens of stabs, continuously enveloping the two. Carrying an immensely fierce, incredibly hot Star Energy. Surging down like a great flood. The twelfth move of the Great Sun Spear Techniqueβ€”Gale Gun Rain!
