"Ye Hongying, donāt you understand Old Qiuās way of speaking?" Mo Sheng said with a chuckle, "He always likes to exaggerate."
Ye Hongying is a high-level professor from Star River University.
Despite her appearance of being only in her thirties, she is actually over seventy years old.
Those who can serve as high-level professors at top ten renowned universities have generally reached the level of Eight Breaks or even Ninth Break... enjoying a lifespan of over three hundred years.
At seventy, she is considered in her prime.
"Just wait and see." Qiu Cang said with a smile, "Jiang Yeās performance might surprise you."
"Oh?" Ye Hongying gave him an intriguing look.
She could tell that Qiu Cang was not one to exaggerate.
This implied that the student named āJiang Yeā might truly be extraordinary.
"Old Qiu, why donāt you be honest with them? Jiang Yeās realm." Huang Canglongās voice echoed in Qiu Cangās mind.
"No rush." Qiu Cang replied with a chuckle, "A good show is best savored slowly for its flavor."
His eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement.
What would these teachersā reactions be when they find out Jiang Yeās true strength?
There arenāt many things that can excite Qiu Cang, but this time, itās somewhat special.
...
Time passed.
As participants and spectators arrived one after another, the entire arena soon became a sea of people.
Yet, it was not noisy.
The Ten School Tournament has always been an internal competition among the top ten renowned schools.
Therefore, it is usually not open to the public... People like Liu Wanxiao were able to come and watch because of their connection to Jiang Ye.
When the time reached nine in the morning.
"Dongā" A melodious bell sounded.
Formally announcing the start of the competition.
"Whish!" A figure in a black robe appeared above the center of the arena.
This time, the Ten School Tournament, first-year stage, was hosted by Qiu Cang.
"The rules of this Ten School Tournament."
"Five hundred participating students enter the āVirtual Civilization Battlefieldā to kill enemies," Qiu Cang said. "The Virtual Civilization Battlefield consists of ten stages in total."
"Passing through eight stages means passing the preliminary round."
"The final battle will take place after the preliminary," Qiu Cangās voice resonated throughout the venue.
Most of the first-year participants were hearing the rules for the first time.
At this moment, they were listening intently.
"In the Virtual Civilization Battlefield, each stage cleared will earn you a reward."
"From the first stage to the tenth," Qiu Cang proclaimed, "the minimum is a D Level opportunity, and the highest is an Upper B Level opportunity."
Swish, swish, swish!
The eyes of all five hundred participants lit up.
Upper B Level opportunity?
Even for students of the top ten renowned schools, it is an extremely rare treasure to obtain.
An Upper B Level opportunity is at least worth several months or even half a yearās hard training!
"Upper B Level?" Jiang Ye also smiled.
The hosts are indeed generous.
Even for him, a trip to the Ancient Star No. 7 only yielded three Upper B Level opportunities.
Upper B Level opportunities are exceedingly precious.
"Alright."
"Enough of the nonsense," Qiu Cang announced loudly, "I declare the official start of this Ten School Tournament."
"Rumble!"
Inside the arena, five hundred virtual cabins rose from underground.
"All participants, enter the arena!" Qiu Cang shouted.
There was no hesitation.
After all, internal competitions are not like the Genius Cup, which is a global event.
Everything is kept simple.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Figures vanished from the waiting seats.
Jiang Ye, Shi Ting, and Tang Wuji quickly entered the arena.
They found their virtual cabins.
"Beep!" Consciousness link.
Enter!
...
"Who can obtain that Upper B Level opportunity?"
"There is only one Upper B Level opportunity, and only the best-performing student can get it."
"Su Haiyue? Changqi Star? Or Zhou Hong?" The teachers engaged in spirited discussions.
After returning to the audience seat, Qiu Cang heard these conversations, and he couldnāt help but smile.
Upper B Level?
Sorry, but my student has probably already reserved it!
"Old Qiu, whatās making you smile?" a curious teacher asked, "Do you think thereās another contender?"
"Donāt overthink it." Qiu Cang smiled, "Look, the challenge has already begun."
He pointed to the arena below.
At this moment, virtual screens appeared above the arena, showcasing a total of five hundred perspectives... These were the screens of the five hundred first-year participants.
...
Virtual Civilization Battlefield.
"Swish!"
Jiang Ye opened his eyes and found himself in a vast, boundless land.
The sky was gray, and the earth stretched infinitely.
"This place?"
"It really does resemble that civilization battlefield in the Extreme Sea Star System." Jiang Ye looked around.
No one else was there.
It seemed to be a solo challenge.
As Jiang Ye was observing his surroundings, a line of striking red text appeared in the sky.
[First Stage]
The moment the subtitles fell.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..." Figures appeared in front of Jiang Ye, each exuding a strong aura.
Notably, each of these figures had a fiery red mark on their foreheads.
"Fire Civilization?" Jiang Ye was shocked.
The opponents in this virtual civilization battlefield were actually geniuses from the Fire Civilization!
It seemed the top ten schools, and even the whole Blue Star Federation, had already regarded the Fire Civilization as a hypothetical enemy.
"A total of five opponents." Jiang Ye sensed: "All of them are in the late period of Second Break?"
He smiled.
The next moment.
The spear rose!
"Boom~!" The terrifying spear light swept past, instantly piercing through the bodies of those five Fire Civilization geniuses, ripping them apart mercilessly.
[First Stage, Passed]
...
[Second Stage]
This time, there were ten opponents, also in the late period of Second Break.
Jiang Ye swept through them effortlessly.
[Third Stage]
Ten opponents, five in the late period of Second Break, five at the peak of Second Break.
Still swept through.
[Fourth Stage]
Ten opponents, all at the peak of Second Break.
...
In the audience, Liu Wanxiao, Lin Yushu, and others were intently watching the projection screen featuring Jiang Ye.
"What?"
"Swept through five at the late period of Second Break with one spear?" Liu Wanxiao was dumbfounded.
"Jiang Ye?"
"Could it be heās reached the Third Break?" Yun QingāEr and Shen Changxi were equally astounded.
Not to mention Lin Yushu, who had previously thought about sparring with Jiang Yeāhis face turned green at the thought.
"But." Lin Yushu couldnāt help but say: "Brother Jiangās strength is almost on par with the strongest few, isnāt it?"
"Could he be hopeful of taking the championship?"
Liu Wanxiao, Shen Changxi, and Yun QingāEr all showed looks of expectation.
They sincerely hoped Jiang Ye could win the championship.
...
At the highest point of the audience seating.
"This Jiang Ye, what speed."
"His speed in defeating the enemy is no less than those from Changqi Star, like Zhou Hong." Ye Hongying finally showed a look of surprise.
She wasnāt the only one.
Teachers from several other prestigious schools also began to notice Jiang Yeās presence.
"Who is this student?"
"Heās already rushed to the fourth stage, no, the fifth, and soon the sixth!"
"One spear to instantly kill five nearing Third Break?"
"Very strong." The teachers were amazed.
"The sixth and seventh stages also passed with ease."
"Look quickly, heās already entered the eighth stage, which includes ten nearing Third Break, plus one at the early stage of the Third Break! He should pause here."
"Hmm?"
"One spear instant kill at the early stage of Third Break? What?" The teachers began to be surprised.
Amidst the noisy audience.
Jiang Ye had already entered the ninth stage in the image.
Five at the early stage of Third Break!
And all five at the early stage of Third Break were Dharma Aspect geniuses, equivalent to White Dragon University B Level students.
"Surely he would pause here, right?"
"...Amazing, one more sweeping spear."
"The tenth stage now, the final stage, Jiang Ye arrived there the fastest."
"In this stage, he will face ten early-stage Third Break opponents, including one Meteor Star Level genius, equivalent to the top A Level students of the top ten schools."
"This stage is the toughest."
"Jiang Ye should be stuck in a long battle now." The teachers discussed.
At this moment, not only the teachers but also the thousands of audience members were mostly focused on Jiang Ye.
No other reason.
Jiang Yeās performance was simply too dazzling!
... In the image.
Jiang Ye burst into battle with those ten opponents.
"Boom~" one spear!
Sweeping through.
Including that Meteor Star Level genius, all ten early-stage Third Break opponents were blown to bits, vanishing without a trace.
"One more spear?"
"How is this possible?!" High-level professors from the top ten schools finally exclaimed for the first time.
