"Xiong Qisheng is famous in Azure Sky City, but in reality, he's only so-so."
Wei Qingxuan commented as she watched Xiong Qisheng's departing figure.
Three years ago, Wei Qingxuan was only an 11-year-old girl, while Xiong Qisheng was a 15-year-old genius, a proud son of heaven in Azure Sky City.
At that time, Wei Qingxuan had just started cultivating and had never met Xiong Qisheng. She had only heard of Xiong Qisheng's fame. Although he was only 15 years old, all the juniors in Azure Sky City under the age of 25 could not raise their heads.
Therefore, to Wei Qingxuan at that time, Xiong Qisheng was a high and mighty existence. Even when Wei Qingxuan rose to prominence in Celestial Azure City, and all the cultivators said that she was more talented than Xiong Qisheng, she didn't have the slightest intention of belittling Xiong Qisheng.
However, the current Wei Qingxuan, through the conversation with Mu Feng on the way, had broadened her horizons. When she saw Xiong Qisheng again, she no longer had the feeling of looking up to him. She felt that Xiong Qisheng was ordinary and nothing more.
Ye Xing, on the other hand, had long set the Martial Saint Realm as his goal. From the beginning, he did not think that Xiong Qisheng was amazing. Now, he naturally did not put him in his eyes.
He would soon step into the sixth stage of the Martial Dao, while Xiong Qisheng had not stepped into the eighth stage of the Martial Dao. It would not be difficult to catch up to him.
However, what puzzled Ye Xing was that when Xiong Qisheng left, he said that he was not worthy and was not a student of the Gifted Class. What did that mean?
Wei Qingxuan was also not clear about this point.
The two of them went upstairs. Rooms 46 and 47 were right next to each other. The two of them smiled at each other and used their identity cards to open the door. Then, they entered their respective rooms.
Ye Xing had learned a lot of martial arts from the Xiong family. He needed time to practice and integrate them. After entering the room, he continued to use his super brain to simulate a human form to practice.
The first day of entering the academy passed peacefully.
The next day, Ye Xing finally understood what Xiong Qisheng meant when he left.
That was because the people in charge of recruiting students in the various cities didn't limit the number of people they could recruit. If they found someone good, they would accept them. If they didn't, they wouldn't accept a single one.
It just so happened that there were more talented juniors in this batch. The number of students in the Genius Class had exceeded the quota of seventy, reaching seventy six.
In other words, there were six more spots.
This kind of situation had happened before. That was because Zishan Academy's Genius Class had a fixed quota of seventy people. Therefore, if there were more than seventy people in the Genius Class, a few more would be eliminated and transferred to the Ordinary Class.
Similarly, if there were less than seventy spots, it would mean that there were too many spots in the Ordinary Class. Then, a few outstanding students from the Ordinary Class would be promoted to the Genius Class. This way, the Ordinary Class and the Genius Class would always remain at seven hundred and seventy spots.
Ye Wen Dao had entered Zishan Academy before. He had told Ye Xing that if the number of students in the Genius Class exceeded the quota, the weakest few would be eliminated.
Most of the students who were recruited into the Genius Class were in the Sixth Rank. A small portion of them were in the Fifth Rank. Therefore, Ye Xing couldn't be eliminated based on strength.
However, the elimination rules had changed this time.
"This batch of students in the Genius Class exceeded the quota by six. Among you, six of you will be eliminated from the Genius Class and transferred to the Ordinary Class."
Mo Xiao Cang, a ninth-stage Martial Scholar and the teacher of Zishan Academy's Junior Genius Class, stood in front of all the students and said with a serious expression.
"I heard that the reason why the quota exceeded the quota this time was because some of the students with ordinary or even poor aptitudes used their connections to enter the Genius Class to fish in troubled waters. The academy is determined to crack down on such people. Therefore, those with low Heavenly Fate and poor aptitudes will be eliminated first."
As he spoke, Mo Xiao Cang's gaze swept across the students in the Genius Class. His gaze paused on Ye Xing for a moment.
Beside Mo Xiao Cang, Xiong Qisheng was also looking at Ye Xing with a face full of smiles.
At this moment, how could Ye Xing not understand that Xiong Qisheng's method of eliminating people based on Heavenly Fate and not strength?
Xiong Qisheng's master was one of the vice-principals of Zishan Academy. He did have some ability in the academy.
The master-disciple relationship was much closer than the teacher-student relationship. Perhaps the vice-principal didn't need to personally make an appearance. Just the fact that Xiong Qisheng was the vice-principal's personal disciple was enough to make the teacher change a little.
Ye Xing's expression didn't change, but anger had already risen in his heart.
The difference between the Gifted Class and the Ordinary Class wasn't just in name. There was also a huge difference in the treatment they received.
The Ordinary Class was taught by an eighth-stage Martial Scholar, while the Genius Class was taught by a ninth-stage Martial Scholar. Obviously, the ninth-stage Martial Scholar had a deeper understanding of martial arts and taught better.
However, Ye Xing didn't care about this. He was better than any teacher.
But there was another difference that made Ye Xing's heart ache.
The students of the Ordinary Class could receive one high-grade Star Accumulating Pill per month, while the students of the Genius Class could receive two Star Accumulating Pills per month.
The importance of the Star Accumulating Pill was needless to say. It was directly linked to a cultivator's cultivation. Naturally, the more one had, the faster one's cultivation would be.
If he was eliminated from the Genius Class, the number of high-grade Star Accumulating Pills he could receive would be reduced by half. How could he not be angry?
Although he knew that the other party was deliberately targeting him, it was related to his interests. Ye Xing had to argue and said, "Teacher Mo, I heard that the school's previous rule is to eliminate people based on their strength."
Mo Xiaocang nodded with a smile and said, "This student is right. Aptitude is important, but so is strength. So, if a student is eliminated because of a low Heaven's Fate, he can prove his strength if he thinks he is strong …!"
Speaking of this, Mo Xiaocang introduced Xiong Qisheng next to him, "This is Xiong Qisheng, a student of the Advanced Genius Class. He will test the strength of the eliminated students. If Xiong Qisheng thinks his strength is qualified, he can continue to join the Genius Class."
Next to him, Xiong Qisheng nodded with a smile, but his eyes were fierce, constantly sweeping over Ye Xing.
"F * ck!"
Ye Xing suddenly clenched his fists, his heart was burning with anger.
He was not joining the Advanced Genius Class. How could he compete with Xiong Qisheng?
Ye Xing understood that not only did the other party want to force him out of the Genius Class, but he also wanted to give him no room to resist.
If Ye Xing insisted that he was strong and should not be eliminated, then he would have to fight with Xiong Qisheng. Xiong Qisheng's cultivation was at the peak of Seventh Stage, and Ye Xing had not stepped into the Sixth Stage of Martial Path. Even if he had a bow and arrow, it would be difficult for him to be Xiong Qisheng's opponent.
Moreover, in a battle of strength, how could Ye Xing be allowed to use a bow and arrow? Therefore, once they fought, not only would Ye Xing not be able to enter the Genius Class, he would also die miserably.
Wei Qingxuan was standing next to Ye Xing. She naturally heard that this elimination plan was targeted at Ye Xing. Seeing Ye Xing clenching his fists and his shoulders trembling, it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
"A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Ye Xing, bear with it for now. After this, go to the Zishan Marquis' residence and tell Grandmaster Mu Feng about this. Grandmaster Mu Feng will not sit idly by."
Wei Qingxuan's soft hand held Ye Xing's fist and whispered in Ye Xing's ear.
Feeling the softness on the back of his hand, Ye Xing's heart stirred, and his anger immediately dissipated.
For some reason, perhaps because he was emotional, Wei Qingxuan's warm and soft hand made Ye Xing feel at ease. Ye Xing loosened his fist and naturally grabbed Wei Qingxuan's slender hand.
This made the anger in Ye Xing's heart completely dissipate. This made Ye Xing understand that when a person was angry, they needed someone close to them to accompany them.
Ye Xing did not look at Wei Qingxuan, and Wei Qingxuan did not look at Ye Xing either. However, when the two of them held hands, neither of them flinched, appearing very natural.
At this moment, an indescribable feeling spread in the hearts of the two of them.
When Xiong Qisheng saw Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan's actions, the corners of his eyes twitched, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
In the letter that Xiong Baotian gave him, not only did he want him to deal with Ye Xing, but he also wanted him to be on good terms with Wei Qingxuan, and marry Wei Qingxuan in the future.
In Xiong Qisheng's eyes, Wei Qingxuan was already his woman. At this moment, when he saw Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan holding hands, how could he not be angry in his heart?
"Little bastard, forcing you into the ordinary class is only the first step. I will force you into a dead end step by step. In Celestial Azure City, you are full of glory, but in the Purple Mountain Academy, in front of me, Xiong Qisheng, you are just an ant … at my mercy!"
Xiong Qisheng narrowed his eyes as he viciously thought in his heart.
Under Mo Xiaocang's supervision, the students in the Genius class tested their Heavenly Fate one by one. Most of them were seven-star Heavenly Fate, but there were also some who were eight-star and six-star Heavenly Fate.
When it was Ye Xing's turn, he was only a two-star Heavenly Fate, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Those who were able to enter the Purple Mountain Academy's Genius class were all geniuses of their city. Among these geniuses, there were only a few six-star Heavenly Fate, and they belonged to the bottom. Ye Xing's two-star Heavenly Fate was even more conspicuous.
"This two-star Heavenly Fate dared to talk about strength earlier, haha …!"
"Teacher Mo said that he was the one who relied on the Marquis's Manor's connections to enter the Genius class. That's him, right?"
"Hahaha … what a joke."
… …
Many students in the Genius class mocked Ye Xing. Most of them were eight-star Heavenly Fate, and some were seven-star Heavenly Fate. They thought that they were peerless geniuses and were ashamed to be in the same class as a two-star Heavenly Fate.
Even though there were heaven-defying geniuses among low-level Heaven's Mandate cultivators, the proportion was too small. Not even one in ten thousand would be able to rise. Thus, all the geniuses mocked Ye Xing for being a two-star Heaven's Mandate.
Wei Qingxuan unhappily walked out and said, "You're mocking Ye Xing's low Heavenly Fate. Do you think that you're a peerless genius? There's always a taller mountain. How can true talent be judged by Heavenly Fate alone? Moreover, even if we're talking about Heavenly Fate, you're only so-so. What qualifications do you have to mock others? "
Wei Qingxuan was protecting Ye Xing, so she couldn't help but change the way she addressed him. This was also the reason why their relationship was getting closer.
An eight-star genius saw that Wei Qingxuan was with Ye Xing and instinctively said with disdain, "You're too arrogant.
"A mere two-star Heavenly Fate is thousands of miles away from us. Why can't we mock you? You keep saying that we don't have talent, but how many stars do you have?"
