The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1625 - 1626: Freshman Ranking Battle

The purpose of holding the new student ranking competition focuses on ranking, as this ranking will be the basis for future evaluations. At the end of each school term, there is also a ranking competition. If the results fall behind, students will naturally be eliminated. If the ranking falls behind too much, they will be eliminated. Those at the top of the list will be directly promoted to Heavenly Boundary students, and those with little change in ranking will become Earth Tier seniors.

Therefore, in the new student ranking competition, truly capable students will not deliberately hold back, because this ranking competition occurs three times: once upon admission, once in midterm, and once at the end of the term.

The admission competition is the direct duel of new students, the midterm includes both Earth Tier new and senior students in the ranking, and the end-of-term results will determine whether a student is promoted or eliminated.

However, there are some martial artists who will deliberately hold back their strength, waiting to make a stunning achievement at the end of the term. Of course, this way they can conserve strength, but they also miss out on the rewards of each ranking competition.

It should be known that the rewards for each ranking competition are very generous, and capable students will give their all.

Time flows like water, and the new student ranking competition has arrived as scheduled. Everyone could hear a call to assemble, and suddenly everyone was rushing out, gathering on the vast square.

The square easily accommodates millions of people; within a few hours, all the new students were already arranged within the square.

Moreover, they didn’t feel crowded at all, showing just how large this square truly is.

Surrounding the square there were also many seniors, even Earth Tier students, watching the scene. After all, among this year’s new students, there appeared an eternal genius, and everyone wanted to see his performance.

Ye Mo’s appearance obviously attracted a lot of attention. Before, not many people knew him, but now Ye Mo has become a well-known figure, with the halo of an eternal genius over his head, drawing many provoking glances his way.

"Is he Ye Mo? The eternal genius with 935 points. It’s said that he broke through two realms in a month."

"Yes, but I heard the dean hasn’t met him. I think this eternal genius is just for show."

"Even if he is an eternal genius, it’s useless. This time, the new student ranking relies on true strength. No matter how strong Ye Mo is, he is still just an Upper Immortal."

"Calm down, don’t just assume this time the opponent is Ye Mo. Among the new students this time, there are no fewer than a thousand powerhouses at the Immortal Class Realm. To compete for the top ten spots, a fierce struggle is inevitable."

Countless people were discussing, as being able to enter the Immortal Martial Academy were all martial artists who became immortals within a thousand years, all genius-level figures.

However, Ye Mo did not pay attention to others. He patiently awaited the start of the ranking competition. However, at this time, Ling Shan walked to Ye Mo’s side again, a scene that made many people’s eyes blaze with fire. The earthly goddess was thus courted by Ye Mo, and more importantly, Ye Mo remained indifferent towards Ling Shan, which made it even harder for them to accept.

About a day later, almost all the new students were growing impatient with waiting when a bell resounded, echoing across the entire square. Dozens of figures appeared in mid-air over the square, and then a white-robed elder descended from the sky, landing on the square, causing the entire place to shake violently.

Ye Mo felt this scene and was secretly shocked. The elder in front of him was likely at least a powerful figure in the Fifth-grade Immortal Venerable Realm.

"New students, you have all been selected from the Open Heaven Continent as geniuses. Entering the Immortal Martial Academy proves that you are one in a million geniuses. Your admission to the Immortal Martial Academy is our honor, and it will also be your honor. Today is the new student ranking battle. Your ranking will affect your future cultivation path at the Immortal Martial Academy."

The elder’s voice was sonorous.

"First, I want to tell you, you come to the Immortal Martial Academy not for honor or status, but for strength. We all hope that by the time you leave the Immortal Martial Academy, you will have reached my level. Your increased strength is the greatest reward for us. If you can represent the Open Heaven Continent in the Celestial Battle, that will be the glory of our Open Heaven Continent."

The white-robed elder said again.

The Celestial Battle is almost the dream battle of all celestial powerhouses. The Ninth Realm selects the most outstanding geniuses to compete in a grand tournament. One can imagine how intense and brutal such a battle will be.

However, this Celestial Battle is something beyond their reach for now. For them, it remains too distant.

Ye Mo listened to the elder’s words and felt a bit excited. This place is different from the Qingyun Alliance, different from the Door of Desolation, where many joined for honor, and entering Qingyun Alliance was absolutely a matter of bringing honor to one’s ancestors.

But at the Immortal Martial Academy, it’s solely for cultivating stronger strength.

"The new student ranking battle is a competition that puts pressure on you. Whether the new student takes first place or last, as long as they work hard on cultivation, they can continue to stay in the Immortal Martial Academy. If they don’t work hard on cultivation, they will be destined for elimination."

The elder further announced: "Now, I will first explain the rules of the new student ranking competition. The venue for the new student ranking competition will be a meteorite located a million kilometers to your right. Our academy’s powerhouses used a powerful secret technique to place countless puppet automatons on the meteorite. Those puppet automatons are divided into three regions based on strength: one for the Sub-Immortal Realm, one for the Immortal Position Realm, and one for the current class realm."

"At that time, you will enter the meteorite through a portal. The portal will teleport you to one of the three regions based on your strength. Defeating a Sub-Immortal Realm puppet will earn you one point, defeating an Immortal Position Realm puppet will earn you two points, defeating a current class realm puppet will earn you four points. Puppet automatons will not cross regions, but you can cross regions to defeat them."

The elder explained the competition rules in detail.

Overall, in this competition, martial artists at the Immortal Class Realm have an absolute advantage. Defeating one puppet automaton at the Immortal Class Realm is equivalent to a Sub-Immortal Realm martial artist defeating four puppet automatons.

This is also the advantage of strength.

"The competition will last for one month, with rankings based on the total points. The student with the highest rank will receive the Fifth-grade Great Desolation Pill, the second-place student will be rewarded with a Profound Rank Low Quality Immortal Treasure Weapon that can be refined into a life-bound weapon, and the third-place student will receive a Fourth-Rank Unified Energy Pill, the Dragon Spirit Saliva Pill. As for the rewards from fourth to tenth place, they will have the opportunity to spend a day in the Immortal Martial Pavilion."

The elder announced the rewards for this competition: whether it be the Fifth-grade Great Desolation Pill, the Profound Rank Low Quality Immortal Treasure Weapon that can be refined into a life-bound weapon, or the Dragon Spirit Saliva Pill, these are all rare items not commonly seen in a dynasty.

The opportunity to spend a day in the Immortal Martial Pavilion is an even rarer chance. The Immortal Martial Pavilion contains countless Martial Arts Manuals; spending a day there, one can naturally learn a lot.

"Strive to obtain the Dragon Spirit Saliva Pill. This pill will be an essential item for my restoration of Extraordinary Will in the future."

The Dragon Glarax suddenly spoke.
