Having these classmates is great.
Ji Xuantong was also there.
For such an important competition, he naturally would not be absent.
Seeing Lu Chenzhou’s glance, Ji Xuantong nodded slightly.
Today’s battle was Lu Chenzhou’s claim-to-fame battle at school!
When the Grandmaster finished speaking, the host began to introduce the competition rules.
Currently, the Dragon City branch school had over five hundred people, most of whom had registered for the competition. The first day featured elimination rounds for Martial Artists under 35 years old, and the second day was the finals for the Martial Artist group. As for the Martial Artist group, due to the fewer participants, it would finish in half a day.
Finally, the host announced a by-entry list of the top 64 seed participants including all members of the genius class, as well as several Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank individuals from the regular class who were selected, avoiding an early confrontation among the top competitors.
Lu Chenzhou chuckled,
"Seems like today’s competition has nothing to do with me."
The competition hadn’t even started, yet he had already made it to the top 64.
This meant he already secured a minimum of 20 Great Merits and a box of Bright God Potion.
Liu Huan and others by the shore were stunned.
"What? Chenzhou by-entry into the top 64? This is such a highly competitive university; it’s like making money lying down! This is the university life I want!"
"Just came for nothing, let’s come back tomorrow."
Seeing the calm Chenzhou, Liu Huan felt impressed inside. Being selected by Top Martial University as a seed participant, skipping straight to the finals, that’s a huge face value.
Lu Chenzhou leaped, arriving at the shore from the waves.
"Since everyone took the trouble to come, lunch is on me."
Liu Huan gave Lu Chenzhou a big bear hug.
He whispered into Lu Chenzhou’s ear skeptically,
"You didn’t reach Ninth Rank already, did you?"
Lu Chenzhou’s signature smile was tacit acknowledgment.
Liu Huan’s hanging heart completely fell; he was still some distance away from Eighth Rank and had already given up on entering university exempt from exams. He only hoped to get admitted with excellent grades.
That would allow him to be placed in class two.
"Go for it everyone, I’ll be waiting for you at the university."
After not seeing each other for a long time, everyone had a great chat.
Even the two senior sisters stepped forward and joined the lively chat; like Lu Chenzhou, they were also seed participants and could directly participate in tomorrow’s finals.
Ji Xuantong clasped his hands behind his back and left reservedly renowned.
"Not bad, all three trues directly entered the top 64. With Ru Yu’s Eighth Rank strength, paired with ’Heavenly Spider Entangling Silk Strength,’ the top 32 is hopeful. Ji Feiyan’s Ninth Rank cultivation ensures a spot in the top 32 unless she gets really unlucky. As for Chenzhou, besides those few older Tenth Rank and Wang Hongdao... everyone else, will be a clean sweep!"
Old Ji had special trust in his disciples.
With my invincibility, a full sweep will settle it.
After practicing Iron Crotch Skill, Lu Chenzhou exhaled a breath of warm air.
Before leaving, Lu Guoping said,
Li Xianghua, organizing Lu Chenzhou’s training clothes, said,
His parents seldom watched Lu Chenzhou’s matches now, as the foes he faced were getting stronger, and they always felt anxious. They preferred to wait for the outcome instead.
"Don’t worry, Mom and Dad, you just keep practicing your punches at home."
This past year, the elders had noticeably improved their health. Although Lu Guoping had limited aptitude, he had still mastered Basic Boxing, significantly improving his Qi-Blood.
November 12, early morning.
At breezy Stone Lake’s side, after yesterday’s rounds of selection, the final list of the top 64 was announced. Teachers and students gathered around, discussing fervently.
"Wang Hongdao should be able to win the championship, without a doubt."
"Indeed, the leader of the Tenglong six sons, our branch’s standout."
"Tian Xingjian, a man who achieves greatness later in life but is no less formidable. Based on the Hidden Dragon List rankings, he probably entered Tenth Rank not long ago, and should not be underestimated."
"There is no one simple in the genius class." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovelHub(.)net
"Anyone listed in the top ten favorites to win is a freak."
"That’s right, I’ve heard that the last time they came to the genius class, Lu Chenzhou, less than a year, advanced from Sixth Rank to Ninth Rank, also among the Hidden Dragon List’s top five hundred."
"Last time at Denglong Hall, Lu Chenzhou fought Ninth Rank as Eighth Rank, I wonder if today he can face Tenth Rank as Ninth Rank. He trains both internally and externally; I think he stands a chance."
"Actually, there are quite a few strong young Tenth Rank Martial Artists in the regular class; although they are older, their strength and foundation may not be inferior to those in the genius class."
Lu Chenzhou quietly passed by, listening with interest as everyone discussed him.
"These people have quite confidence in me; it seems that my performance at the Jiangnan Talent Competition really did stand out, making everyone believe I could exceed my current rank in combat."
At eight o’clock in the morning, the competition for the top 32 officially began.
Members of the genius class could finally take action.
In the first batch of matches, Yao Cheng, Zhou Xingkong, Wang Hongdao, and Chen Xiaoyun all took the stage. Except for Chen Xiaoyun, the others swiftly defeated their opponents.
The most spectacular was undoubtedly Wang Hongdao.
With just one punch, he knocked a Ninth Rank expert into the water.
Students from the regular class, who rarely saw the genius display their skills, exclaimed:
"Holy crap, that’s too strong!"
"Truly a genius of the Extreme Limit Realm."
"So, this is the world of the genius class. It’s an eye-opener."
"Our class 8’s top fighter was directly defeated?"
Students of the regular class collectively felt the significant gap.
Even many discerning Dragon City teachers couldn’t help but admire.
"This young man’s future achievements will surely not be low."
"With Whale Form, there is hope that a second Grandmaster will emerge."
Subsequently, Old Tian and Leopard Woman also advanced without any surprises.
The only one who was eliminated was Xiao He. His opponent was Ji Feiyan, a Ninth Rank expert. Although Xiao He was talented, his combat experience and absolute strength were not on Ji Feiyan’s level.
