After cultivating for seven days, even with the assistance of the Profound Insight Pill, Feng Wuchen was still unable to break through to the first level of the Origin Core Stage. It could be seen that it wasn't easy.
With Feng Wuchen's current strength at the peak of the ninth level of the Origin Transformation Stage, he really didn't have much confidence in going against the empire's number one genius.
"Big Brother Feng, I heard that the academies of the various empires created a Genius Ranking. Our empire's academy only has two people on the Genius Ranking. But this year, they already don't have the chance to fight for the number one spot on the Genius Ranking, because they'll be graduating this year," Liu Qingyang said.
"Genius Ranking?" Feng Wuchen was slightly stunned, as he hadn't heard of this before.
Seeing Feng Wuchen's expression, Miao Qingqing mocked. "Looks like Big Brother Feng doesn't know about the Genius Ranking. To think that you're a student of the academy."
"How can he be considered a student? At most, he's half a student! "Liu Qingyang shrugged with a smile.
"…" Feng Wuchen was speechless.
"Big Brother Feng, the Genius Ranking is updated once every three years. This year, it's being re-ranked, and there are only ten spots. The academies of the four great empires all choose their strongest students to participate in the martial competition, and those above the age of 18 can't participate," Miao Qingqing said simply.
"So that's how it is." Feng Wuchen nodded.
"Our empire has never had a number one spot on the Genius Ranking. Moreover, it's always our academy that's ranked last every time." Liu Qingyang pursed his lips.
"Who was the number one on the Genius Ranking last time?" Feng Wuchen asked curiously. Since he was able to obtain the number one spot, his strength would presumably be extremely formidable.
"Water Moon Empire's Watercloud Institution's Nie Yang obtained the number one spot on the Genius Ranking with a cultivation at the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage," Liu Qingyang said.
"Fifth level of the Origin Core Stage?" Feng Wuchen was extremely surprised. Being able to reach the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage before the age of 18 was sufficient to show that Nie Yang was an extremely extraordinary genius.
"Being able to reach the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage before the age of 18 is indeed extraordinary." Ling Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile.
"What are the benefits of fighting for the Genius Rankings?" Feng Wuchen asked.
"The ten geniuses on the Genius Ranking all have the opportunity to be promoted to nobility. Moreover, they can also obtain high-grade Profound Rank martial skills, gold coins, and many other rewards. However, this is not the most important thing." The more Liu Qingyang spoke, the more excited he became.
"What's the most important thing?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Liu Qingyang smiled mysteriously and said, "Most importantly, I can cultivate in the God Valley for half a month!"
"God Valley? What is that place? "Ling Xiaoxiao became more and more curious. Feng Wuchen also looked at Liu Qingyang curiously.
Liu Qingyang shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either. I heard that it's a mystical place in the depths of the mountain range at the center of the Four Great Empires. The Spirit Qi there is very dense, and there are a lot of treasures there. However, it's very dangerous. These are all things that Big Brother Leng bragged about in front of others. I don't know if it's true or not."
Feng Wuchen nodded and said, "Leng Mucheng's words must be true."
As they chatted, they unknowingly arrived at the Sky Flame Academy.
This was Feng Wuchen's second time here. As a student of the academy, Feng Wuchen hadn't spent a day in the academy in the past year.
Being a nominal student was just so domineering.
At this moment, all the students of the academy had gathered around the huge plaza. There were tens of thousands of people, densely packed together.
"Wow! This is the Sky Flame Academy? It's so imposing! "Liu Qingyang was in awe as he looked at the huge and imposing academy.
Miao Qingqing was also shocked. She had never seen such a magnificent palace in her life!
When Feng Wuchen's group of four appeared, all the students' gazes swept over.
"That brat is finally back. We've been waiting for him for an hour. I wonder what his cultivation is now. He's hiding his aura."
"Those two young ladies by Feng Wuchen's side are so beautiful. This brat brought back a young lady every time he came! He wouldn't bring three next time, right? "
"That young lady by Feng Wuchen's side actually broke through to the first level of the Origin Core Stage. What terrifying natural talent. Moreover, she's even more beautiful than a year ago!"
The appearance of Feng Wuchen's group of four caused the entire scene to be in an uproar. Many male students were overjoyed to the extreme as they were attracted by Ling Xiaoxiao's beauty. At the same time, they were extremely envious of Feng Wuchen's luck with women.
Those students with formidable strength were extremely interested in Feng Wuchen's cultivation. Their gazes constantly sized up Feng Wuchen, but they were unable to discern the depths of Feng Wuchen's cultivation.
Even those instructors were looking forward to it.
"He's actually able to completely conceal his aura! His strength is surely not weak, "a student with comparatively stronger strength muttered, not daring to underestimate Feng Wuchen.
"Perhaps he's already stepped into the Origin Core Stage."
"It's possible. Supposedly, his cultivation speed is extremely shocking."
Many senior students were discussing in low voices as well.
"Dean, Elders," Feng Wuchen greeted politely, and Ling Xiaoxiao and the others followed suit and greeted politely as well.
Although Feng Wuchen was the Empire's Domain Chief, he was still a student of the academy after all. Moreover, Feng Wuchen had never liked to put on the airs of a Domain Chief.
Dean Xing Tianfeng, Zhen Yuntian, and the others were extremely happy that Feng Wuchen had returned in time. Moreover, they all heaved a sigh of relief. They were still worried that Feng Wuchen wouldn't return.
Xing Tianfeng smiled and nodded, then said, "Everyone, prepare well."
"Big Brother Feng!" Lin You charged over with extreme excitement.
"Lin You! Fifth level of the Origin Transformation Stage! How amazing! You've broken through so many levels in a year. As expected, you didn't disappoint your father. " Feng Wuchen laughed happily. After not seeing Lin You for a year, Lin You's improvement in cultivation caused Feng Wuchen to be extremely surprised.
Lin You laughed happily and said, "No matter how amazing I am, I'm still not as amazing as Big Brother Feng. After not seeing you for a year, Big Brother Feng has changed so much. Your cultivation must be even more powerful. And Miss Ling, you're already at the first level of the Origin Core Stage!"
The more Lin You spoke, the more excited he became. He couldn't suppress his excitement at all.
"My name is Liu Qingyang. I'm Big Brother Feng's friend. I often hear Big Brother Feng talk about you," Liu Qingyang introduced himself.
Miao Qingqing continued, "I'm Miao Qingqing."
"I'm Lin You! Nice to meet all of you. "Lin You laughed happily. The brilliant smile on his young and tender face could not be concealed at all.
Feng Wuchen and the others walked towards the plaza. Suddenly, a person flashed over and stopped them.
Since he dared to stop Feng Wuchen in front of the dean and the elders, it could be seen that this person's status was not low. Moreover, his strength was not weak either.
"Big Brother Feng, this is the Empire's Little Prince, Duan Hen Xi. This guy is old and bad. He often brings us into trouble. He even secretly brought us out of the academy a few times. He even dared to steal the Great Elder's pills. He's a troublemaker in the academy! We all call him Wild Monkey, "Lin You explained with a smile. Since he dared to joke like this, it could be seen that Lin You had a good relationship with the Prince.
It seemed that Duan Hen Xi was too good at causing trouble. That was why the Emperor had sent him to the academy.
Duan Hen Xi glared at Lin You. Lin You had exposed him the moment he opened his mouth. Duan Hen Xi wished he could give Lin You a good beating.
"I didn't think that there would be someone who could cause more trouble than me." Liu Qingyang looked at Duan Hen Xi in astonishment.
Feng Wuchen looked at the handsome Duan Hen Xi in surprise and smiled, "So you're the Empire's Prince. Nice to meet you."
Feng Wuchen had never seen Duan Hen Xi before, so he did not know that he was the Empire's Little Prince.
"Feng Wuchen, when we fight later, don't go easy on me. I won't go easy on you either. Otherwise, I'll expose your identity as a Great Commander," Duan Hen Xi said with a dangerous look on his face.
"I also want to see the strength of the Empire's number one genius," Feng Wuchen said with a smile.
"Alright! I'll definitely beat you up! " Duan Hen Xi grabbed Feng Wuchen's shoulder and threatened him in a low voice, "Later, you'll have to refine a Spirit Spear for me. Otherwise, I'll expose your identity as a Great Commander."
"No problem. You'll have to pay for the Meteoric Metal. I don't have any," Feng Wuchen shrugged and smiled.
"Deal!" Duan Hen Xi was instantly overjoyed.
"…" Liu Qingyang and Lin You's faces were already filled with black lines. It seemed that this threat was quite effective.
Feng Wuchen and the rest entered the crowd of students. The students quickly gave up their seats. They did not have any intention of discriminating against them. Instead, they were more curious about Feng Wuchen.
The students kept asking questions. As they chatted, they became familiar with each other.
Although Duan Hen Xi was the Empire's Prince, he did not put on any airs. He was no different from an ordinary student. He got along very well with the students.
"In a month's time, it will be the Genius Ranking that is held once every three years. There are only five spots. This time, five people will be selected to participate in the Genius Ranking Tournament!" Great Elder Zhen Yuntian said solemnly.
This tournament was different from the previous ones. Not only the new students were participating, but the older generation of students were also participating.
Therefore, the number of participants was relatively small. Most of them were old students. There were only twelve new students participating, and eighteen of them were old students. In total, there were thirty people.
Among the thirty people, only five of them could represent the academy in the Genius Ranking Tournament!
These five people were only participating. Whether or not they could enter the Genius Ranking Tournament was still unknown.
"As long as you can enter the Genius Ranking Tournament, you will have the opportunity to cultivate in the God Valley. You will also have the opportunity to be promoted and receive many rewards. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope that all of you will perform well. I believe that this time, our academy will be able to shine!" Xing Tianfeng added.
The geniuses of the other academies were also very strong. Otherwise, the Sky Flame Academy would not be at the bottom every time.
After a pause, Xing Tianfeng said loudly, "The tournament begins!"
The tournament was a type of elimination tournament. The loser would be mercilessly eliminated.
Out of the thirty students, only fifteen of them needed to draw lots. Whoever was drawn would be the opponent!
The students were very curious about who would be competing with whom. Their faces were filled with anticipation and excitement. Especially Feng Wuchen. They all wanted to know what cultivation level this nominal student was at.
"Zhou Tianhai! Too bad it's not Feng Wuchen. How boring. My opponent is actually at the eighth level of the Origin Transformation Realm. " Duan Hen Xi's face was filled with disappointment. He glanced at Feng Wuchen and asked, "Feng Wuchen, who is your opponent?"
"Looks like my luck is not bad. I've drawn number one, Zhang Qing!" Feng Wuchen lightly said as he raised his opponent's name in his hand.
Duan Hen Xi shook his head and said, "You're out of luck! That guy is very strong! And his methods are very fierce! "
"Zhang Qing! Feng Wuchen is actually going against Zhang Qing! "
"He's the first one! This is a good opportunity to see how strong that kid is! "
"I wonder if Feng Wuchen will have a chance to fight! Zhang Qing is terrifyingly strong. "
