A month had passed since Wan Duan's death.
Although his death had caused quite a bit of discussion, other than the Elders, no one went to look into it. That was because the disciples of the Central Academy were all interested in the position that he had vacated.
At this moment, in the most sacred place of the Central Academy, the Everlasting Square, thousands of Central Academy disciples were gathered. That was because today was the day to select the ten thousandth Duan of the Power Ranking.
Everyone was looking forward to who would replace Wan Duan and become the new disciple of the Power Ranking. No matter who it was, they would become an expert that was respected and feared by the Central Academy.
Moreover, other than the ordinary disciples of the Central Academy, there were seven disciples on the Power Ranking. Other than Fang Lianyi, who was first on the Power Ranking, and Han Xue, who was third on the Power Ranking, who did not appear, all the disciples on the Power Ranking were present.
That was because they also wanted to know who would become the new disciple of the Power Ranking.
That was because the potential of the new disciple of the Power Ranking was related to the change of their position in the future. This was something that every disciple who wanted to protect their position on the Power Ranking was concerned about.
However, Yao Di, who was second on the Power Ranking, was an exception. Actually, she did not really care about her position on the Power Ranking. That was because she was destined to leave the Everlasting Academy after she had taken her revenge. She came here today to cheer for Xing Jue.
Even so, before the battle began, Yao Di's position was still the focus of everyone's attention.
That was because there were nearly a hundred good-looking women gathered at the position where they were sitting. Those women were all members of the Heavenly Music Club.
The current members of the Heavenly Music Club could be said to be filled with experts. Although they were all women, more than half of them were Martial Masters. There were no less than thirty Middle Rank Martial Masters.
Due to the large number of experts in the Heavenly Music Club, many disciples felt that the Power Ranking this time would definitely be won by the members of the Heavenly Music Club.
Many disciples even secretly gambled because of that. However, they did not know that this time, not a single member of the Heavenly Music Club participated in the fight for the Power Ranking.
* Swoosh swoosh ~ *
Just as the disciples were discussing among themselves and guessing who was most likely to become a disciple on the 'Strong Ranking', four figures streaked across the sky. After which, they appeared on the Elders' seats on the open ground. When these four Elders appeared, a huge uproar was stirred among the disciples.
The reason for that was because they were the Everlasting Courtyard's four grand elders, Elder Shangguan, Elder Ouyang, Elder Taishi, and Elder Zhongli.
When the headmaster was in seclusion, the four great elders were the true people in charge of the Limitless Academy. Their position in the Limitless Academy was not small at all. Even the disciples on the Strong Ranking were extremely respectful towards them. Moreover, it was very rare to see the four great elders normally.
"Begin!"
After the four elders took their seats, they did not say anything. Instead, they waved their hands at the Principal Elder beside them, signaling for him to start the match.
Under the command of the Managing Elder, the highly anticipated match officially began amidst the thunderous cheers of the disciples and the atmosphere brimming with enthusiasm.
At this moment, a couple of fighting stages had already been temporarily built on the Limitless Square. All the disciples who wished to fight for a spot on the 'Strong Ranking' could go up the stage and fight.
The rules were very simple. As long as one was able to stand until the end on the fighting stage, it was obvious that he would be the successor of the 'Strong Ranking'.
"What are you laughing at?"
At this moment, Xing Jue had already walked onto the fighting stage. The thing that caused him to be speechless was that the moment he stepped onto the fighting stage, a couple of disciples actually ran towards his stage.
In the end, the chance to ascend the stage was snatched by a short male disciple with a pockmarked face. At this moment, this man was looking at him with an evil smile on his face, causing Xing Jue to be completely confused. He really wanted to understand what was going on.
"It's nothing. I am laughing at how lucky I am." At this moment, the man seemed to be unable to hide his excited emotions as he laughed.
"What do you mean by that?" Xing Jue still did not understand.
"Don't you know? In continuous battles, luck is the key. "
"The first match is the most crucial of all. As long as one wins the first match, the subsequent matches will be very smooth."
"Since my opponent is you, it is obvious that I am the luckiest one today." The man with a pockmarked face proudly said.
After hearing his words, Xing Jue also finally understood why so many people wanted to go onto the stage to compete with him and those who did not manage to snatch his spot left with dejected faces. It turned out that unknowingly, he had already become famous in the central college.
In the eyes of many disciples, he was a weakling with no strength despite having a backer. They were in a hurry to go onto the stage because they wanted to ruthlessly pinch Xing Jue and easily pass the first round.
"Heh …" Thinking to that point, Xing Jue could not help but laugh. Because he felt that in the eyes of many disciples, he was a man who relied on a woman to survive.
"You … What are you laughing at?" Xing Jue's sudden laughter caused the pockmarked man to be completely confused and he did not understand.
"I am laughing because you are the unluckiest one today." Xing Jue had a smile on his face as he imitated the man's tone and replied.
"What do you mean by that?" The man's face was still filled with confusion.
"I will let you know right now."
"Ahh …"
With regards to the man's words, Xing Jue did not reply too much. He stood on the spot and sent out a palm through the air. With a miserable shriek, the male disciple flew out and fell off the stage. He became the first person to fall off the stage in this Power Ranking Competition and also the first person to be eliminated.
"Hu ~"
Originally, the stage that Xing Jue was on was the one that no one paid the least attention to. However, after the disciple fell off the stage, it became the one that attracted the most attention.
At this moment, the gazes of everyone, regardless of whether they were men or women, were uniformly cast from the other arenas onto the arena where the Execution Arena was being held.
Moreover, all the disciples could not believe their eyes. One had to know that the pockmarked man was, after all, a Middle Rank Asura Martial Master.
Right now, he was defeated by Xing Jue with a single strike. This also meant that Xing Jue was also a Middle Rank Martial Master. However, one had to know that Xing Jue had only entered the Central Academy for two months. Furthermore, according to the rumors, Xing Jue had only reached the Beginner Rank Martial Master two months ago.
"Throwing water, it's definitely waterproof!"
"Damn it, no wonder he wanted to fight with that Xing Jue. So, he was just a pawn."
At that moment, there was actually someone who insisted that Xing Jue, the pockmarked man, was purposely throwing water and that it was Xing Jue who found a pawn. Furthermore, this kind of thinking actually obtained the approval of the majority of the male disciples.
"Who would have thought that this brat would become so successful so quickly. It seems that our Limitless Academy has a successor."
However, compared to the ignorant disciples of the Central Academy, Elder Ouyang and Elder Zhongli, who were at the elders' seats, nodded their heads repeatedly, their faces filled with gratification.
Even Elder Shangguan and Elder Taishi, who had seen Xing Jue for the first time, began to pay attention to Xing Jue seriously.
"Oh ~ ~ ~"
"Xing Jue, this is great, I love you ~ ~ ~ ~"
However, just when most of the disciples suspected that Xing Jue's fight was fake, a loud and sweet voice suddenly rang out in the square. Looking over, almost everyone was dumbfounded.
The members of the Heavenly Music Society all stood up and waved the flag with the two words "Xing Jue" written on it. At the same time, they cheered crazily. The words "this is great, I love you" simply made the male disciples want to commit suicide.
One should know that the women of the Heavenly Music Society were beautiful and outstanding. They were the partners of countless disciples. At this moment, all of them were saying "I love you" to a man, and that man was actually trash in the eyes of most of the disciples. How could they endure this?
Especially when they saw that even the usually cold and taciturn President of the Heavenly Music Society, Yao Di, who was ranked second on the Power Ranking, was also waving the flag and cheering.
Furthermore, the crowd was filled with passion and heated discussions. This was simply unimaginable to the crowd. At this moment, countless "kacha, kacha" sounds of hearts shattering could be heard coming from the crowd. They had completely gone mad.
"Damn it, I can't take it anymore."
"There aren't many beauties in the Limitless Academy to begin with. This brat has taken away more than half of them, and they are all of high quality too. How are we going to survive?"
"This won't do. I must teach him a lesson today!"
Facing the cheers of the members of the Heavenly Music Society, the male disciples who adored the Heavenly Music Society were all enraged.
Half of the disciples who couldn't participate in the battle actually went to Xing Jue's platform and lined up to go up and teach Xing Jue a lesson.
"Hey, Senior Sisters, are you guys messing with me? Or messing with them? "
Xing Jue helplessly shook his head as he looked at the male disciples below the Fighting Stage, who were staring at him with furious faces, as if they wished to tear him apart. At this moment, Xing Jue had a deep understanding of what it meant to be a femme fatale.
As for the male disciples who didn't have the strength to participate in the battle but were also jealous of Xing Jue, the anger in their hearts was relieved when they saw Xing Jue being surrounded by so many powerful disciples.
This was because they felt that Xing Jue would definitely be taught a lesson. They could feel that the people surrounding Xing Jue were not acting, but people who really wanted to beat up Xing Jue.
However, after a while, when the disciples surrounding the platform went up one after another, the disciples who were waiting to watch a good show were completely dumbfounded.
This was because no matter how long they had been in the central college, no matter how strong they were, none of the disciples who had stepped onto the stage were able to last more than ten moves against Xing Jue. Moreover, they all suffered the same fate. They were all sent flying off the stage by a single palm strike from Xing Jue.
After a total of 20 disciples were defeated by Xing Jue, the disciples had no choice but to change their opinion of Xing Jue. That was because Xing Jue definitely had the best performance in the battle today.
This new disciple who was the least optimistic had become the biggest dark horse of the day. Moreover, after Xing Jue's outstanding performance, there were even more female disciples who joined in the cheers for Xing Jue.
At this moment, in the huge Wuji Square, there were only two kinds of voices that could be heard.
One was the orderly and loud cheers formed by the majority of the female disciples. "Xing Jue, Xing Jue, Xing Jue, Xing Jue …"
The other was the sound of broken hearts formed by the majority of the male disciples. "Kacha, kacha, kacha, kacha …" Only those who shared the same fate could hear it.
