"What opinions could there be? Of course, it's all about which school's freshmen are the best and whoever is the most outstanding gets into the top three," Bai Feng said calmly, ignoring their provocative and mocking tone.

"You mean the students you teach are very capable?" Zhou Minglun asked with a smile.

"Of course they are better than the students you teach. Can a few fifth-rank teachers compare to the students taught by a fourth-rank teacher?" Bai Feng spoke without hesitation, using his strength and realm to suppress them.

As expected! Upon hearing this news, the three people present were stunned, their faces filled with astonishment.

Back when they went to Jiangzhou to recruit disciples, Bai Feng had already reached the remarkable peak of the fifth rank. At that time, although they were slightly inferior in strength, they were only a tiny bit away from the peak of the fifth rank.

However, in the past six months, they have never slacked off in the slightest, and have been diligently studying and practicing assiduously as ever, making unimaginable efforts.

As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves," and they finally succeeded one after another in breaking through to the peak of the fifth rank that they had always dreamed of.

Originally overjoyed, thinking he was on par with Bai Feng, he never expected that the other party would be so outstanding, once again taking the lead and becoming the first to enter the ranks of the early stage of the fourth grade martial artist!

"So what if you're a fourth-rank official? Who said that someone with a fourth-rank official position is guaranteed to teach students?" Zhou Minglun sneered.

"What? Zhou Yuchuan, you know how to teach students? You're even better at teaching than a fourth-rank student?" However, Zhou Yuru, who was standing next to him, snorted and asked.

"Sister, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Bai Feng." Zhou Minglun shrank back in fright and quickly protested, feeling wronged. It turned out that Zhou Yuru was actually his sister.

"You lot, stop showing off. Everyone knows what you're up to. We'll see the results of the competition after it's over. It's too early to be happy now. Otherwise, if you're proven wrong in the end, you won't even have the face to cry," Zhou Yuru said, waving her hand at the group.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three men's faces turned ashen, as if all their strength had been drained away. They had no choice but to tuck their tails between their legs and flee in disgrace.

Zhou Yuru stood rooted to the spot, her posture as upright as a pine tree, her eyes sharp as knives. Although she was slightly older than the three men, she was known among her peers for her shrewishness and ruthlessness!

Back when she was just a child, she used her extraordinary abilities and unwavering character to completely overshadow her peers.

Now, facing these younger and weaker guys, it's naturally even easier to make them run away at the mere sight of them.

After all, no one would dare to easily provoke such a powerful and formidable entity!

"Judging from what your sister said, she doesn't seem worried about the competition at all. Could it be that the Wilderness Martial Arts University has some hidden trump card? Or have they already given up on trying to get into the top three?"

After walking a distance, Liu Shanshan asked Zhou Minglun in a low voice. She could only think of two possibilities, but she didn't quite believe the first one.

“If they had given up, my sister would have already vented her anger on me. She seemed very confident, so it’s most likely the first scenario,” Zhou Minglun said after thinking for a moment.

"Are they counting on Chen Feng? Although I heard that Chen Feng made great contributions in the trial and also broke through to the seventh-grade martial artist with golden blood, he is still far behind the other nine." Li Yuchuan shook his head and said.

"Then could it be that among the other promising talents from various families, someone has made great progress and surpassed Chen Feng?" Liu Shanshan guessed.

“That’s somewhat possible. After all, they’re only slightly inferior to those seeded martial artists. They didn’t get the best resources in their families, so they went to the Wilderness Martial Arts University. If they get preferential treatment in resources, they might really be able to unleash their potential,” Zhou Minglun said after thinking for a moment.

"Then let's keep an eye on them, see how they perform in the competition, and once we find a target, we can challenge them in a targeted manner. We absolutely cannot let the Wilderness Martial Arts University make it into the top three," Li Yuchuan snorted.

Because if Wilderness Martial Arts University enters the top three, it means that one of their three schools will fall to fourth place, which is different from their expectations, since each of their schools has recruited two freshmen who are in the top ten.

If the results are unsatisfactory, most of the outstanding freshmen this year will likely question the teaching standards of the three prestigious universities, and more outstanding freshmen will choose the Wilderness Martial Arts University.

The three prestigious universities are not discriminating against the Wilderness Martial Arts University, but rather they somewhat disagree with its educational philosophy. They worry that too many outstanding freshmen will die in the trials, dying before they have even grown up, which would be a huge waste and loss.

Therefore, they have been working together to target the Savage Martial Arts University, trying to prevent them from entering the top three of the competition. This would not only reduce the resources allocated to them, but also reduce the number of outstanding freshmen who would enroll.
