Five days later.

The triennial Sky Grand Competition has begun.

Countless people are going crazy for it.

The celebrity effect exists in any era, and everyone in the top ten of the Sky List is an object of admiration.

Those who like to support their idols all boast about their idols' abilities and talents.

When she heard someone make a veiled reference to her idol, she immediately blushed and retorted sharply.

You little devil, you're badmouthing my pigeon again.

Various powerful forces and sects also sent representatives to the meeting, their purpose being to recruit talented cultivators to join their respective factions.

Sects that are not strong enough don't pay attention to the top ten on the rankings, because those geniuses are not people that their power can recruit.

So they focused their attention on the top 30.

Aside from the top ten geniuses on the leaderboard, Ye Chen's name attracted everyone's attention.

After the battle at the Marquis's mansion, Ye Chen's reputation soared.

However, the polarization is extremely severe.

At eighteen years old, Ye Chen has reached the Core Formation Realm. Such talent is enough to challenge for a place in the top three of the rankings. There are quite a few people who are optimistic that Ye Chen will make a name for himself in this competition.

However, his reputation for colluding with the servants of the Marquis's mansion to steal valuable treasures has earned him the contempt of many.

No matter how talented you are, if you have bad character, it's useless. It's not much different from someone with top-notch cultivation who indiscriminately kills innocent people.

The fact that he was forced to kneel by the Marquis's heir was also a topic of much discussion.

To dare to collude with a treacherous servant of the Marquis's mansion to steal a valuable treasure, let alone kneel down in suppression, it would be good enough if he wasn't killed.

As for the Crown Prince Ye Boqi abusing his power to bully others?

Come on, those princes beat up two people, one of whom was the crown prince. What's wrong with suppressing a thief like you?

Without Vice President Liu, you'd probably be dead by now.

As for whether Crown Prince Ye Boqi can win the competition and suppress everyone?

Hey, who wants to talk to you about this?

If I had such a powerful background, I wouldn't be here fighting with these people in this competition.

Winning brings no benefit, while losing only adds prestige to those who want to change their fate through the competition.

Boring.

No one believed that Xiao Boqi would participate in the Sky Grand Competition.

Because this thing is just like a job interview. Only a crazy person would risk their life to compete with these job seekers who are only after a pittance.

Therefore, everyone's attention was focused on the top ten on the Sky Ranking and Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen is now the personal disciple of Vice Dean Liu Qian, and can be considered a very promising dark horse.

As is customary, the Sky Grand Competition is conducted by grouping contestants based on their strength, with the winners advancing to the next round.

Those who lack the ability naturally know they have no chance of making the list, let alone winning first place in the competition.

But this is an excellent opportunity to showcase oneself.

When the competition begins, the academy elders and instructors will be present, and the vice dean who will advance to the next round will also be in attendance.

If one can be chosen by the elders in the competition, their future situation will undergo a fundamental change.

Only when the second round of competition begins will the genius students ranked on the Sky Ranking participate in the competition.

Furthermore, Sky Academy does not allow challenges to those of higher levels.

In other words, those who are not on the list can only challenge the listed geniuses by fighting round after round until the very end.

The same applies to the geniuses on the list.

To achieve a higher ranking, you must systematically defeat those ranked ahead of you before you can challenge the next one.

These rules are designed to comprehensively train trainees' combat skills and experience.

Only those who are down-to-earth and take one step at a time can eventually reach the pinnacle of strength.

It is precisely because of this setting that the second day of the Sky Grand Competition is the main event.

The Sky Ranking has a total of eighty spots, and the focus of the competition on the second day will be on the eightieth and sixtieth place rankings.

Everyone is preparing for this day, gathering their strength in advance, hoping to make a name for themselves and gain more attention.

The competition between the listed geniuses was clearly more intense, drawing gasps and cheers from the audience.

The most anticipated fight was between Wu Jiubu, ranked sixtyth, and Wang Pin, ranked sixty-first.

Wang Pin uses a knife, and Wu Jiubu uses a spear; both are considered strong contenders for a spot within the top fifty.

However, since the two met early, only one of them could advance, making their competition a highly anticipated event.

Amidst the deafening roar, the two fought with real intensity, exchanging blows once more before simultaneously unleashing their trump cards.

Wu Jiubu pointed his spear in mid-air, and the spear tip suddenly grew larger, then transformed into a giant python that suppressed Wang Pin.

"Fifth-tier martial skill, Blood Python Spear Technique!"

"Judging from the aura of that blood python, it has already entered the realm of mastery. With such spear skills, even a king-ranked player will be in trouble."

“That makes sense. Moreover, Wujiubu’s ranking is already higher than Wangpin’s. It would be difficult for Wangpin to withstand such spear skills.”

Just as everyone was discussing this, Wang Pin's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the blood python that was pouncing towards him.

He then raised his long sword high and slashed down at the blood python.

"Mountain-Splitting Blade!"

As Wang Pin shouted, his longsword suddenly grew larger and slashed down fiercely at the blood python.

boom…

After a loud bang, a figure coughed up blood and flew backward.

It is Wujiubu!

Such a fierce and unparalleled spear strike was broken by Wang Pin with a single slash; just how strong must Wang Pin be?

As the smoke and dust cleared, Wang Pin slowly walked out, carrying a long sword, and said calmly to Wu Jiubu, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood.

"You lost."

Although Wu Jiubu was extremely unwilling, he was too badly injured and had no choice but to walk off the stage in a huff.
