Because of her undercover work, Xia Xiaoyi can only cultivate martial arts and cannot change her cultivation method now. Fortunately, the dean of the Burning Lamp Academy knows that she has made great contributions.
Even if she were to cultivate martial arts, with her Golden Core Perfection cultivation and knowledge, she could still offer her much guidance.
Qingran nodded and said, "Your talent is slightly inferior to that of Suenaga Akihisa, but it is comparable to the top freshmen in South Korea, the United States, and Saudi Arabia. You should be able to enter the top five at least."
"As long as you and Wang Hao both make it into the top five, even if Suenaga Akihisa takes first place, our Burning Lamp Academy still has a great chance to become the top-ranked freshman this year."
The two then went on to discuss some important points for the freshmen's martial arts competition, continuing until nightfall.
Xia Xiaoyi went to Tianzi No. 1, while Wang Hao found Han Yue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and discovered that her cultivation had reached the early stage of Qi Refining Realm, and her improvement speed was extremely fast.
I learned from Han Yue that she came from the Han family of Tianxing, which, along with the Li family and the Ling family, was one of the three great families, but its power and capital ranked last.
Originally, as the eldest daughter of the Han family, she should have been a key figure to be cultivated, but unfortunately, she was born with the Netherworld Poison Divine Body, so she was abandoned by the family and had to rely on her mother for survival.
During her most difficult time, she met Han Shuo, who came from a poor family. The two fell in love over time. The spirit stones that Han Shuo had found to save Han Yue were all obtained by spending all of his savings.
Wang Hao hadn't expected their situation to be so bad, so he took out five Qi Condensation Pills and handed them over, saying, "Cultivate diligently, and tell me if you encounter any difficulties."
"This...this is too precious, I can't accept it." Han Yue naturally knew what the Qi Condensation Pill was, so she was even more embarrassed to accept it.
Wang Hao waved his hand, placed the items in front of her, and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite. We're all friends. If the Han family makes things difficult for you or you encounter any problems, be sure to tell them so we can all work together to find a solution."
Han Yue was deeply moved. She and Han Shuo had acquired many cultivation resources bit by bit, and these five Qi Condensation Pills were now priceless treasures to her.
Wang Hao paid no attention, left behind another weapon, and then turned and left.
The next day, just as dawn broke, a loud bell rang out in the Burning Lamp Academy.
The bell tolled nine times in a row, its sound lingering and far-reaching.
Almost all the outer disciples of the Burning Lamp Academy gathered in the largest martial arts arena of the outer academy. Everyone was dressed in white martial robes, full of energy and high spirits, numbering more than three thousand.
The order of appearance was based on the students' ranking. Si Jingjun was ranked first and stood in the first position of the first row, followed by Qingran, Yan Qin, Youzhi, and so on.
After defeating Li Leyao, Wang Hao ranked 184th among the new students, standing in the center of the group.
Not long after, the array surrounding the Burning Lamp Academy was opened.
New students from China's Dragon and Phoenix Academy, Saudi Arabia's Tsar Academy, Japan's Yin-Yang Academy, the United States' Angel Academy, and South Korea's Samsung Academy entered, each led by a vice dean.
In addition, some senior students from the five academies also accompanied them. Each academy had no more than ten senior students, all of whom were top experts. The vast majority of them were Xuan Ranking martial artists, exuding a heroic aura.
Suddenly, a freshman who looked to be around twenty years old burst out laughing from the Yin-Yang Academy's freshman camp.
"I had heard before that the Burning Lamp Academy was dominated by women, and seeing it today, I can see that the rumors are indeed true. The male students of the academy are really too disappointing."
The people present were all highly skilled, and their hearing was naturally very sharp. Many students from the Burning Lamp Academy heard the mocking voice of the Yin-Yang Academy freshman.
The female trainees were fine with it, but the male trainees felt humiliated. Everyone glared angrily at the Japanese man.
One of the top ten male freshmen, named Yue Yunping, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Qi Refining, said coldly, "This is Burning Lamp Academy. You'd better be careful when you speak."
The freshman from Yin Yang Academy laughed again and said, "Am I wrong? Look, everyone, the hundred people standing at the very front of the martial arts are the top one hundred experts from Burning Lamp Academy."
"At least seventy of them are female students, while there are only a dozen or so male students. If you look at the last three hundred people in the martial arts arena, more than two hundred of them are male students, while there are only a few dozen female students."
"What does this mean? It only means that the Burning Lamp Academy does have male students, but they're all cowards. Maybe that's just how Chinese people are, hahaha!"
These words enraged not only Yue Yunping, but also the others from Dragon Phoenix Academy and Burning Lamp Academy. After so much time, the Japanese were still so arrogant.
"You mere island nation dare to challenge China? Do you dare to fight me?!" Yue Yunping roared and charged out.
The freshman from Yin Yang Academy sneered and said, "Your cultivation is weak and you're no match for me. You should save your breath."
Everyone wore cold, stern expressions. Things were not like before. China was a powerful nation that had stepped into the stars, and disciples from a mere island dared to be so arrogant.
"Whoosh."
Yue Yunping could no longer tolerate it. Although things were relatively peaceful now, his inherent fighting spirit had not disappeared. He directly drew out a seven-foot-long Ziyan Battle Blade.
He gripped the hilt of the sword, channeled his spiritual energy, and unleashed a long streak of sword light, slashing towards the freshman from the Yin-Yang Academy.
The freshman from Yin Yang Academy revealed a disdainful smile, as if he was deliberately waiting for the other party to make a move.
"Good timing!"
He swiftly extended a finger, channeling his inner energy to its tip, and suddenly a white sword aura shot out from it.
"Bang!"
The sword energy struck the blade of the Purple Cliff Battle Blade, producing a loud bang and sending the blade flying.
Yue Yunping's arms were numb from the shock, and his fingers felt like they were about to break.
Suddenly, a figure flashed before his eyes, and before Yue Yunping could react, a foot kicked him in the chest.
"Smack!"
The sound of ribs breaking echoed continuously throughout the training ground.
Yue Yunping coughed up blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string. He lost all strength and lay on the ground, unable to get up.
The student from Yin Yang Academy looked at Yue Yunping with pity and said, "I used to think that the Chinese who practiced useless techniques just lacked the aptitude for martial arts. Now it seems that it might be because they're not smart enough, hahaha."
Many people showed expressions of anger, but the senior students were unable to intervene, while the freshmen were shocked by the opponent's strength and were deeply stunned by this attack.
A student from the Burning Lamp Academy angrily said, "You went too far! Today is the joint martial arts competition for freshmen from six academies. You severely injured Senior Brother Yue Yunping. How can he participate in the competition?"
"You saw it yourself, he attacked first. I was acting in self-defense. Surely no Chinese person would be so unreasonable?" The Yin-Yang Academy freshman laughed heartily, very smug.
The older students wanted to make a move, but the elders suppressed them. Although the elders' expressions were also very unpleasant, if the older students made a move, it would only make the other party look down on them even more.
