Chapter 123 - Ranking Competition, New and Old Students Chal

nFor the next three days, Vincent locked himself in the dormitory. Many thought that he was busy practicing the Sky-Burning Sword technique. Instead, he was busy practicing his psionic power.

nOn the fourth day at noon, Vincent walked out of his dormitory and headed to class.

n

n

nThere were only ten people in his class. Blizzard School had high requirements for new students, which resulted in a small number of students being recruited each time. As a result of their high requirements, the enrollment rate was also very high, almost reaching 100%.

nThe teachers and students were all stunned when they saw Vincent walking into class.

n“Vincent? Aren’t you practicing the Sky-Burning Sword technique? You’re out so soon?”

nThe teacher was a deer-headed man. When he saw Vincent, his deer-like eyes revealed a look of surprise.

n

n

nFire elemental battle techniques were not easy to practice. Otherwise, there would not be so many deaths. They had all died whilst practicing fire elemental battle techniques.

nVincent nodded slightly and smile apologetically at the deer-headed teacher.

n“Teacher, I’m sorry for disturbing your class,” said Vincent.

nThe deer-headed teacher shook his head to indicate that it was fine. He then motioned for Vincent to return to his seat.

n

n

nThere was only one table in the entire classroom that was empty, so even though it was Vincent’s first time in class, he knew where his seat was.

n“Students, today we are going to talk about the essence of cultivation, the origin of power.”

nThe deer-headed teacher started his lecture after Vincent sat down.

nVincent listened to the lecture wholeheartedly.

nHe also reflected on the time he attended Milai School. Although it was useless to learn about the Beast Race, it was still the most primitive. There were many ideas and concepts that had enlightened him.

nIn addition to his three superpowers, he also had the power source of the black hole myriad races. It was always beneficial to understand more.

n

n

n“Students, I have something to inform you. The school ranking competition will be held tomorrow. The top three in the competition will have the opportunity to study in a larger school,” said the deer-headed teacher with a smile when the lesson was about to end.

nWhen the ten students heard what the deer-headed teacher had said, they all revealed dejected expressions.

nThe ranking competition was based on the school system. In other words, all of them could participate. They were new students who had just entered school. There was no advantage in fighting against older students. Plus, only the top three will be rewarded. Therefore, it clearly had nothing to do with them.

nHowever, when Vincent heard the announcement, his eyes lit up. The ranking competition was in line with his thoughts.

nHe was looking forward to the qualifying match the next day.

n“There are no classes this afternoon. All of you should go prepare for tomorrow’s qualifying match.”

nThe deer-headed teacher did not care about the crowd’s reaction. After class ended, he turned around and left.

n“Oh my god! We’ve only been here for four days and we’re already participating in the qualifying match!”

n

n

n“There’s nothing we can do about it. The school has always been like this. The freshmen fight against the seniors, and every year, the seniors will win.”

n“Everyone, be careful. It is said that before the ranking competition, the seniors will look for freshmen to fight. The fight is not prohibited by the school, and we don’t care about it either. It’s just to prevent the freshmen from being too strong.”

n“The freshmen are too strong… then…”

nEveryone was discussing the ranking competition. They then turned their heads to look at Vincent.

nVincent was the strongest among the current batch of freshmen. He had shattered the strength stone with one punch. It was something that many seniors were unable to do.

nVincent realized that everyone was staring at him. He just shrugged his shoulders, as if he did not care.

n“Vincent, you are the hope of the new students! You must be extremely careful. You can’t be injured by the older students before the qualifying match!”

n“That’s right! Vincent, why don’t we escort you back to your dormitory? Don’t come out before the qualifying match tomorrow.”

nThe others all nodded in agreement.

nVincent’s strength was still fresh in their minds. They were very shocked whenever they thought about it.

nIf there was anyone who could win a spot from an older student in this qualifying match, it would be Vincent.

nVincent understood everyone’s good intentions. He waved his hand and was very confident.

n“Thank you all for your good intentions, but I have never been afraid of fighting. I also don’t bully the weak and I fear the strong. If they dare to come at me, I will make sure they will not be able to participate in tomorrow’s qualifying match!” said Vincent.

n

n

nAlthough they were very confident in Vincent’s strength, everyone could not help but be worried. However, Vincent’s attitude was firm so they did not continue to say anything further. They only told Vincent to pay attention to his safety before leaving together.

nAs Vincent was the strongest freshman, he received the attention of thousands of people when walking around. There were a high number of people turning their heads. There were also quite a number of people who came to ask for autographs and group photos. Vincent agreed to all of them.

nJust as he was about to reach his dormitory, three lion-headed men suddenly blocked Vincent. Their faces were full of contempt and vigilance.

nThe leader wore a string of red beads on his neck. The other two wore blue beads and yellow beads respectively.

n“You are Vincent?” asked the leader of the lion-headed men disdainfully whilst raising his head.

nVincent looked at the three lion-headed men who were almost three meters tall and blinked.

n“Are you here to beat me up?”

nVincent showed an ignorant look.

nThe three lion-headed men were stunned by Vincent’s gaze. Was the strongest freshman such an idiot?

nThey all looked at each other and saw doubt in each other’s eyes.

nThey wondered if they had found the wrong person.

n“Boss, it doesn’t matter if he’s Vincent or not. Just beat him up. He’s a new student anyway,” said the yellow-beaded lion-headed man to its leader.

nThe leader nodded. He believed that his little brother was right. He bent his fingers and walked towards Vincent with a sinister smile on his face.

n“Kid, it doesn’t matter if you’re Vincent or not. The ranking competition is coming up. It’s a tradition for new students to be challenged by older students. It’s unfortunate that you met us today. Don’t worry, we’ll be very gentle.”

nAs he spoke, he raised his right fist and punched Vincent in the chest.

nThe punch was extremely fast. It created a sharp whistling sound.

nVincent still looked ignorant, as if he did not see the punch coming.

nThe other two lion-headed men did not just sit and watch either. The blue-beaded lion-headed man blocked Vincent’s path of retreat, while the yellow-beaded lion-headed man swept his leg and kicked Vincent’s leg.

nAt the same time, quite a number of people had surrounded the four of them. When they saw the three seniors besieging a new student, they all could not bear it.

nThe new students were already weaker than the older students. However, they were still being besieged by three older students. It was obvious that it would not be a good ending for them. This is even if this new student, Vincent was the strongest among them.

n“Oh my god! It’s actually the Tricolor Lion Brothers!”

nAll of the students revealed shocked expressions when they saw the lion-headed men.

nThe Tricolor Lion Brothers were the strongest students in Blizzard School. They were level six beasts, and the red-beaded lion-headed man was about to advance to a level seven beast.

nThey had once gone out to train and worked together to kill a level eight beast, the rhinoceros-headed man. The man had betrayed Gajero.

nThe matter had been circulating in Blizzard City for a long time. The three of them had also received a personal commendation from the Mayor of Blizzard City.

n“The strongest of the new students versus the strongest of the old students, Tsk tsk tsk! That’s something to look forward to.”

n“The Tricolor Lion Brothers are too much! They’re actually attacking a new student together.”

n“He’s not an ordinary new student! He’s Vincent!”

n“So what? In the end, he’s still just a new student. The strongest of the new students in the past years acted like they were something else, but in the end, what happened? Weren’t they all still beaten up by the old students until they were docile and obedient?”

n“He’s different. He destroyed the strength stone with one punch!”

n“The Tricolor lion brothers killed a level eight traitor!”

nThe surrounding students discussed animatedly. Some were optimistic about Vincent, and some were optimistic about the Tricolor Lion Brothers. Both sides had their own opinions, and neither side could convince the other. Gradually, the big fight started.

nAt this time, Vincent looked at the attack approaching him and finally moved.
