Ye Mo looked at the white-robed elder in front of him. He was like a deity from a painting. His aura seemed to be embedded in the endless planes, making it impossible to determine his cultivation level.
Moreover, he had an aura of tolerance, as if anything could be forgiven in front of him.
"You are?"
Ye Mo's expression changed slightly as he asked.
"I am the dean of the Immortal Martial Academy."
The old man said lightly.
Hearing that, Ye Mo was shocked as well, as if he did not expect the old man in front of him to be the dean of the Celestial Martial Academy. At this moment, even the Giant Dragon Gelaxi had completely restrained itself, not daring to act rashly.
Right now, the Colossal Dragon Grasci's willpower was only at the Astounding level. Any random movement of his could be seen through by the dean.
"Greetings, Dean."
Ye Mo cupped his hands.
"What happened to the Sleeper Beast was due to the academy's negligence, resulting in the deaths of over a hundred new students. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the casualties would have been even greater. Before, I didn't think highly of you, thinking that you didn't have the strength to compete with Zhou Han. But now, it seems that both your potential and your temperament have far surpassed my expectations."
The headmaster's words were filled with high praise for Ye Mo. "The reason I refused to see you after you entered the academy was because I wanted to test you. Now, it seems that you are willing to sacrifice yourself to protect those new students. This is enough to prove that you have a righteous heart. Only a person like this will have greater potential on the path of martial arts."
"Mr. Dean, can you talk to me about these things later? We're in the middle of the competition now, and my points are already too far behind. If we continue to delay, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get into the top ten."
Ye Mo said anxiously.
"You don't have to continue."
The dean's eyes flickered. "You can absorb the power of the stars and hold on for so long in front of a sixth-layer Immortal Dream Beast. Even if you continue the competition now, it's very likely that you'll get first place. If the Dream Beast hadn't attacked you, you'd be number one."
"However, I don't want you to fight for the top ten. That will only attract Zhou Han's attention, and your growth will definitely be hindered."
"I don't understand!"
Ye Mo shook his head.
"When you truly integrate into the Immortal Martial Academy, you will gradually understand. Although you are not number one, you are number one in my heart. I will privately give you all the top three rewards, but in the ranking battle, you will not have any ranking. "
"Although this will affect your reputation, and no one will acknowledge you as a prodigy, in my heart, you are a genius that far surpasses Zhou Han."
"Student still doesn't understand. Student came to the Immortal Martial Academy to rely on my own hard work to obtain first place. I don't want to rely on the rewards you gave me, dean."
Ye Mo shook his head repeatedly. Although he was somewhat tempted by the dean's words, it was not what he had hoped for.
"Is getting first place really that important? Do you know how much pressure you will have to bear in order to obtain first place? Once you obtain first place, you will fall into an extremely dangerous situation. Even I might not be able to save you. "
The dean shook his head and said, "You are a genius that I have my eyes on. I want to nurture you and not let you die prematurely. The Immortal Martial Academy is not as perfect as you imagine it to be. It is much crueler. Alright, give up on this year's ranking battle. In the future competitions, I will not stop you from obtaining first place. Furthermore, I will not provide you with any cultivation resources."
As the dean spoke, he waved his arm and three resources floated in front of Ye Mo. They were the rewards for the top three of the ranking battle – the Great Desolate Pill, a low-grade Profound Long Sword, and the Dragon Spirit Water Pill that Gelaxi wanted.
Ye Mo sighed slightly before nodding his head and accepting the three rewards.
"If news of the Sleeper Beast gets out, it will inevitably affect the academy," the dean said. "Help me hide it. I have wiped the memories of all the new students. They will not know anything about the Sleeper Beast. Just stay in your own Immortal Zone and wait for the competition to end."
As the dean spoke, he disappeared from where he stood.
Ye Mo had never expected that the dean would say something like this to him and forbid him from obtaining first place in the ranking battle. Could it be that the dean was worried about something?
"Ye Mo, the dean is probably doing this for your own good," Dragon Gelaxi said. "That's why he's forbidding you from obtaining first place.
The great dragon Grahi said.
"Yes, the Dragon Spirit Water Pill is for you to consume. As for the Great Desolate Pill, you can use it to break through to the Immortal Realm."
Ye Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. With these rewards, he felt more at ease.
As for the Immortal Realm Mechanical Puppets area, all the new students, including Jian Wushang, had their memories wiped. Everyone once again returned to the atmosphere of killing mechanical puppets.
Time passed by slowly. On the Immortal Martial Square, everyone stared at the screen, watching the rising points. This was especially true for Ye Mo. His points had once again stagnated, and he was falling behind bit by bit. Many people sighed. It seemed like Ye Mo had no hope of getting into the top 10.
On the other hand, Ling Shan's points rose again. After more than 10 days of killing, her ranking had risen to the top 10. As for the top four, Tong Xiaotian, Dou Wei, Jian Wushang, and Xuanyuan Ze, their points were all rising steadily. No one could shake them.
When the sound of a flute resounded in the air, all the numbers on the screen stopped. The top 10,000 had been determined.
Tong Xiaotian, with a total of 13000 points, was ranked first.
Dou Wei, with a total of 11200 points, was ranked second.
Jian Wushang, with a total of 8,130 points, was ranked third.
Xuanyuan Ze, with a total of 7,911 points, was ranked fourth.
What surprised everyone the most was that Ling Shan, a Lower Immortal, was able to make it to fifth place with a total of 7,100 points.
Ling Shan's performance had exceeded everyone's expectations. Ye Mo's ranking, on the other hand, remained at 7,120th place.
"Haha, is this the so-called first place? He didn't even make it into the top 5,000. "
When Zhu Peng saw the final result, he finally relaxed and started laughing. On the other hand, Chen Yin and Chen Dachui, who were standing to the side, had ugly expressions on their faces. They had never expected that Ye Mo, who originally had a chance of making it to first place, would end up at 7,120th place. This was definitely an average rank. It couldn't even compare to Zhou Han's result all those years ago.
"10 million Immortal Stones, hand it over!"
Zhu Peng was very pleased. Half a month ago, he had a bet with the Chen siblings. Ye Mo didn't make it into the top 10, and Zhu Peng had won the bet.
The Chen siblings clenched their teeth. Not only did they hand over the wooden sword, they also asked Chen Dachui to hand over his Yellow-grade deity treasures. Both of them were lost to Zhu Peng.
