Chapter 120 My Brother's School is Ranked Number One
Nine o'clock sharp.
The president of Shucheng University arrived on time.
He held the microphone in his hand, coughed a few times, and began to speak.
This principal is a typical Mediterranean-looking man with a large belly.
With his chubby face and a forced smile, coupled with his pronouncements of profound truths, many new students suspected that this guy would soon be arrested for embezzlement and bribery.
A full hour.
Xu Xian's ears were already starting to hurt.
What happened in the past life will happen again in this life.
Fortunately, Principal Pei only spoke for an hour, and the rest of the process was quickly completed thanks to the deliberate efforts of the school leaders.
The entrance ceremony thus came to an end.
The students left with a sigh of relief.
"Xu Xian, it's been a long time! I'll defeat you this afternoon!" This was Li Yang.
He greeted Xu Xian with a smile.
Xu Xian responded and then greeted the others.
Shi Shi, Lu You Qi, Yu Yu —
Qian Hongwu walked quickly, and Qian Hongwen also left quickly with Xiao Lili.
However, three groups have come together.
Xu Xian had never seen these people before.
These are all outsiders!
Three groups, three leaders.
The two men and one woman were all sizing up the other students.
Unlike Qian Hongwu, they were more law-abiding and less prone to causing trouble.
After their eyes darted around, the three groups reunited and exchanged information.
"Our main opponents this time are these few people —"
"Yu Yu from the Tide Dojo, Shi Shi, Shi E's sister, Qian Hongwu, that arrogant guy, and this guy."
One person pulled out their phone, and two articles appeared on it.
Some students who hadn't done the survey showed expressions of shock.
"Is this guy really just from an ordinary family?"
"He only got this because the Tianxin Club was there to back him up! Otherwise, no matter how talented he is, he would have to wait until he was almost graduating to do something like this."
"If that were the case, it wouldn't matter, but now—"
"It's simple. Since the opponent is most likely the strongest in one-on-one combat, we just won't fight one-on-one. Have you forgotten how the Rookie King Tournament was decided?"
"Only those who possess a combination of skill, luck, and wisdom can become the Rookie King!"
"Now that we've uncovered his information, it means luck isn't on his side!"
"good!"
"However, besides him, there are also some strong opponents among the local students from Tree City this time, in addition to the ordinary ones."
"Qian Hongwen's Blue-Eyed White Ape is already at Advanced Level 7, Li Yang's Fire Wind Crane is at Advanced Level 5, and there's also—"
The students were all talking at once.
Apart from the male and female freshmen, the strength of the spirit beasts of the rest of the students was thoroughly investigated.
Lin Libai, who came from Yuncheng, naturally blended into this group, and was secretly alarmed.
Listening to the information gathered by the others, he originally thought that this Rookie of the Year competition would be a contest where outsiders would easily eliminate the locals, and then each of them would fight for the crown.
I never expected that the locals of Shucheng would be so capable.
My own three-tailed flame fox is only at the advanced level 5.
What shocked him the most was Xu Xian.
He initially looked down on the other party, but almost fell into their trap.
It hasn't been that long.
Without even needing to slap their faces, the local primitives they once despised have suddenly grown into supermodel Trisolarans.
I was standing right in front of him, but he completely ignored me.
Lin Libai clenched his fists.
He quickly sneered inwardly.
snort!
What good is it if you improve quickly and become stronger?
Unless one is a leader, how can one hope to become king when these people join forces?
But if you really break through to the boss level...
Even better.
Even if you win the Rookie of the Year award.
The Secret Realm of the Artifact King will be completely irrelevant to you, and you will have one less major competitor, greatly reducing the pressure.
Lin Libai looked at Xu Xian, who was still chatting with many locals of Shucheng, and felt sorry for him.
"Achoo!"
Xu Xian rubbed his nose.
Which bastard is cursing me?
He glanced around.
He noticed that Su Ya was smiling sweetly, looking at him with a cloying gaze.
Huh! ↑~↓!
Xu Xian's entire skin rippled.
Why would this woman stay here instead of going back?
"Brother Xian, what are you looking at?" Zhou Li followed Xu Xian's gaze.
She has an oval face, delicate features, a small head, and a standard height of neither too tall nor too short. She is wearing a plain-colored dress that just falls below the knee.
A true beauty.
After reading it, Zhou Li turned around abruptly.
His action startled Xu Xian. "Why are you so jumpy?"
"No, Brother Xian, you—you've finally figured it out?" Zhou Li's eyes were full of disbelief.
A black line appeared above Xu Xian's head.
Not wanting to pay attention to him, and seeing that Su Ya was still disgusting him with her usual smile, he quickly strode away to avoid any trouble from her.
Seeing Xu Xian defeated and fleeing, Su Ya tilted her small head up, revealing her fair and dazzling neck.
Like a victorious rooster, strutting with pride.
After returning to the dormitory.
A man who called himself a counselor and whose name was Guo Wujin pulled Xu Xian, Zhou Li, and all the other freshmen majoring in Beast Taming into a group chat.
The group is called "Freshman Group".
Xu Xian clicked on the profile picture before the person's nickname and discovered that this was a school leader who had appeared at the entrance ceremony.
Guo Wujin: [Dear students, please get some rest. Please gather at the Deyi Building at 1:30 PM sharp. The Newcomer King Competition will start promptly at 2:00 PM. Latecomers will not be accepted. Please pass this message on to any students who haven't joined the group.]
After the message was sent, some people wanted to ask about the details but found that the group chat was closed and only the administrators could speak.
"Brother Xian, it's still early, want to go challenge the rankings?" Zhou Li was sitting on the sofa next to him, chatting with the Golden Armor Beast...
Wawa played the game in a three-row formation.
As the announcements of "One Kill, Double Kill, Triple Kill—Pentakill" appeared, Wawa, controlling the character "Dancing Sword Goose," broke through the enemy's crystal in one fell swoop.
"Wawa, you're really strong! You're a part-timer who can easily beat the opposing team and carry me and Fugui. It's a shame you're not a professional player." Zhou Li didn't hold back his praise.
Wawa scratched his head sheepishly, "It's not that amazing."
As for playing games professionally, why would he do something with no future?
Xu Xian glanced at the battle record of the man and the two beasts.
Wawa's is the best looking, Fugui's support is so-so, Zhou Li ———
The top laner is a triple-killer, a triple-killer, and a carry who sends the enemy team flying.
Fortunately, our team has a super carry.
"Brother Xian, give me an answer if you're going or not," Zhou Li asked, putting down his phone.
"Going there would expose our strength—"
Before Xu Xian could finish speaking, Zhou Li interrupted, "What are you afraid of? We can just join forces and push them out. Besides, we'll let Fu Gui fight, and Ping An won't be fighting in the ranking battles."
Ping An: The name Zhou Li gave to Xiao Tan Yang.
When combined with the golden-armored beast, it signifies wealth and peace.
There are no restrictions on the spirit beasts used by students in the Rookie King competition.
In other words, if you can contract two, then use two; if you can contract three, then use all three.
The Rookie King competition is a contest of a student's full potential. If there are restrictions, the competition is unfair, and the winner doesn't deserve the title of Rookie King.
"There's not much time left. You can go if you want. I have other things to do in the meantime." Xu Xian shook his head and showed another message that had just popped up on his phone.
Zhou Li glanced at the word "Professor" on the label and indicated that he understood.
"Alright, I'm taking Fugui to sweep the field. This afternoon, you and I will reign supreme and have a final showdown! Hehehe————"
Zhou Li, grinning foolishly, left with the golden-armored beast and Little Tan Yang.
Xu Xian shook his head.
Tree City is not a school specializing in beast tamers; the number of beast tamer students is small, even very small.
Therefore, the entire school ranking list only has fifty positions.
It may seem like a small number. Excluding Xu Xian's year, the total number of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors combined is only about two hundred.
So, two hundred people are competing for fifty spots, which is far too many spots.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Artifact Emperor's Secret Realm in Tree City last year, which prompted the higher-ups to take things into consideration.
Otherwise, at least ten or even twenty of the fifty places would be cut at the admission ceremony this year.
After all, even prestigious universities like Haicheng University and Wucheng University only have two hundred spots on their internal ranking lists.
Keep in mind that these schools have at least tens of thousands of new students.
The intensity of that competition was on a completely different level from that in Shucheng.
Xu Xian casually flipped through the student rankings of Shucheng University.
They were all high-level energy beasts, and many of them were stuck at the advanced level three and advanced level six.
Only the top three possess high-level peak spirit beasts.
"So, my brother is number one in school?"
Thinking of this, Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh.
Right now, the vast majority of freshmen are thinking about the Rookie King competition and haven't focused on the rankings yet.
If Zhou Li doesn't use the small carbon yang, he can actually steal this chicken.
It's not that Xu Xian looked down on his seniors.
The difference is simply that obvious.
This is the truth.
Let Wawa and Niu Niu stay in the house.
Xu Xian walked out the door.
Just then, he encountered Shi Shi and Lu Youqi walking towards him. Apart from these two, Su Ya walked with a charming smile, her light and graceful figure resembling an elegant butterfly.
Shi Shi and Lu Youqi glanced at Su Ya in surprise.
"Is there something you need?" Xu Xian asked the three of them.
Lu You said, "Xu Xian, I heard that those outsiders have formed three small groups. They are all from powerful families, possess bronze-level spirit beasts, and are all at least level three in strength. Shi Shi and I have come to you to seek cooperation."
"And you?" Xu Xian asked Su Ya.
Su Ya said, "Me too."
"Aren't you from Yuncheng? Didn't you come with them?" Xu Xian asked.
Shi Shi and Lu Youqi looked at Su Ya with surprise in their eyes. Su Ya shook her head and said, "I can't fit into their circle. My dad almost went bankrupt because of Youyou (Yin Yang Weasel). The only reason I came to school here is because you, Brother Xian, are here."
She then put on a pitiful look and said, "Brother Xian, do you hate me?"
Xu Xian:
'
Shi Shi & Lu Youqi:
The two looked at Xu Xian in shock, never expecting this.
Xu Xian, this aloof and unapproachable fellow, actually has such a confidante, and it seems she's even the kind who's willing to pay him off.
Lu Youqi secretly gave Xu Xian a thumbs up.
Dude, you're awesome, I admire you.
Xu Xian was helpless. He believed Su Ya's earlier words, but her later claims about him were pure nonsense.
That's it.
He said, "Okay, but Li Ge and I, that is, Zhou Li, have already agreed to go together. We'll be in groups of five."
"Then it's settled," Lu Youqi said happily.
Others may only have a vague idea of Xu Xian's strength.
But he and Shi Shi knew very well.
It was already very powerful before it evolved, and later it became a Silver species and directly received an S-rank rating.
That's some serious skill; he's definitely a top player.
Lu Youqi also felt helpless.
In the past, a Violent Duck that had already reached the intermediate peak level would have been enough to win the Rookie of the Year award.
There were too many weird things this year, so I can only try my best to get a high ranking.
As for the newcomer king, the energy level difference is too great, the racial level difference is too great, and even the skill proficiency is not superior.
Without any advantage, how can you fight for it?
After agreeing on the terms, they each left without disturbing Xu Xian.
Student dormitory room 107.
Li Yang, Qian Hongwen, and Xiao Lili gathered here.
This is not the dormitory of one of the three people.
The three of them looked across at each other.
It has a body that resembles a large python but is covered with bluish-black scales, with red and white spots on some parts. Its head has fish-like teeth or shark teeth, and long whiskers on both sides of its face move with the wind.
Bronze-grade, ferocious dragon carp!
Yu Yu glanced at Xiao Lili without making a sound.
I didn't expect that Qian Hongwen would bring his pendant along since he was already here.
But it doesn't matter anyway.
"It'll be the four of us teaming up, right?" Li Yang said, glancing at the other three.
Yu Yu nodded, "It'll just be the four of us. After we eliminate the rest, we'll decide the winner."
Haicheng University.
Haicheng University's rookie competition is different from Shucheng University's.
With over ten thousand new recruits, this number is simply too high.
Therefore, you can only start after you have registered.
Even though nearly half of the students felt they were not good enough and did not want to waste time competing.
There are still five or six thousand people.
Therefore, Haicheng University's battlefield was left empty for the first round of selection matches.
"The parrot is unable to fight, Wu Di wins! Next group, please enter."
A sophomore student who was assigned to be the referee waved his right hand and shouted loudly.
Wu Di easily defeated his opponent without even trying to show off.
What's so great about defeating a spirit beast that barely reaches the intermediate level?
Only a high-level spirit beast would be worth him showing off.
"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen that guy?"
Emperor Wu walked to the audience seats and scanned the area, but he couldn't find the person or spirit beast he wanted to see.
"Number 3651, please arrive at court 26 in section F within three minutes. Failure to do so will result in a forfeit!"
"Number 3651————"
"Number 3651————"
The temporary loudspeakers in the area sounded three times.
Emperor Wu shook his head.
Forget it, the opponent is so strong. As long as I win all the way up, I'm not afraid of not seeing him again.
By then.
Thinking of the new moves his Dreamlight Butterfly had learned, Wu Di couldn't help but hum inwardly.
A formidable rival! This time, I will defeat you and claim my victory!
Shucheng University.
A formidable rival, whom someone was eyeing, arrived at a building.
The building has a sign with the three large characters "Experimental Building".
The building has three floors.
It can be used in three different situations.
The first floor is for ordinary students, the second floor for beast tamer students, and the third floor for instructors and professors.
The last two floors require a student card, which is the room card for Beast Tamers, to enter.
Xu Xian went straight to the third floor.
At that moment, a message popped up on my phone.
I took it out and looked at it.
It is the battlefield between schools.
The battlefield for Shucheng University is much, much smaller than that for Haicheng University.
However, the equipment is complete, and the necessary ranking lists are displayed on a large screen in a prominent position.
The message was sent by Zhou Li.
This guy took a selfie with his face practically bursting with laughter.
Of course, the focus isn't on his round face, but on the first row of text on the large screen behind him, radiating dazzling light.
[First: Zhou Li, Golden Armored Beast, Advanced Level 10]
