Chapter 52:Grade Qualifying Tournament
Li Zhan smiled and shook his head, looking at Sun Yu's sheepish expression.
"Alright, back to business. The main reason I called you here is to inform you that the Dean, after a month of assessing and observing you, has decided to increase the intensity of your training.
He has also further planned out various assistance guidelines for you. Put on this new school badge, and from now on, you'll be able to enter the deepest parts of the Academy's Medicine Hall, enjoying the highest-grade medicinal baths twice a week, three hours each time.
At the same time, you'll have free access to any floor of the Academy's library. If there's a book you want to read that the Academy doesn't have, just tell me, and I can get it for you..."
Sun Yu took the silver badge Li Zhan handed him and nodded slightly, looking at the badge which had a dragon head carved onto it, unlike his original school badge.
He had been wondering why he couldn't access the top few floors of the library before; it turned out he needed the Academy's approval to go there.
"Oh, and one more thing, the Dean intends to take you as his disciple. Are you willing?"
"What?! The Dean wants to take me as his disciple? Of course, I'm more than willing!"
Sun Yu asked, his face full of surprise after putting on his new school badge.
Being taken as a disciple by a Spirit Emperor-level Dean, wasn't that one of Sun Yu's goals for coming here?!
After all, what Sun Yu lacked most right now was a strong backing!
Seeing Sun Yu's excited expression, Li Zhan nodded as expected.
"Very good, but before the formal apprenticeship, you still need to pass the Dean's special assessment. The specific requirement is: if you can rank among the top three in the second-year group during next month's inter-grade ranking competition, you will have passed the assessment. How about it, do you have confidence?"
"Yes, no problem, I will definitely live up to the Dean's expectations!"
Sun Yu said confidently, listening to Li Zhan's words.
"Hmph, quite confident, but I advise you not to let your guard down. Although you defeated Han Yi, Han Yi's strength only ranks him within the top hundred of the entire second year, not even the top fifty!"
Li Zhan said with a faint smile, seeing Sun Yu's confident expression.
"I know..."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back. If you have any problems, come directly to me, don't be afraid of disturbing me. As a genius that the Academy is specifically allocating resources to cultivate, you have this privilege!"
"I understand..."
Sun Yu nodded slightly.
Then he quickly left Li Zhan's office.
On his way to the classroom, Sun Yu muttered with a solemn expression.
"In the grade ranking competition a month from now, I must reach the top three!"
"....."
Afterward, in order to successfully secure a top-three spot in the grade ranking competition a month later, Sun Yu's training demands became even more rigorous.
His already precise, machine-like daily routine was pushed closer and closer to his mental limits under his further exertion!
Many students of the same grade couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement after seeing how desperately Sun Yu was pushing himself.
Although they didn't know the reason for Sun Yu's intense efforts, driven by Sun Yu, the entire first year began to work harder.
Soon, time flew by, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.
Within this month, Sun Yu continued to maintain his extreme training and study every day.
And after a full month of intense study, Sun Yu had gained a lot!
Not only did his spirit power successfully break through a level, but he also found many ways to integrate his existing Spirit Abilities...
Unlike Sun Yu, his classmates were in a miserable state. On the Bai Zhan Arena, Sun Yu could no longer persuade any first-year students to come up and fight him.
Even in a one-on-four situation, where he was outnumbered, no one was willing to fight Sun Yu anymore.
After all, no matter how hard the first-year students tried, they still couldn't defeat Sun Yu.
It was infuriating, truly infuriating. To win against Sun Yu even once, the first-year students fought in one-on-four setups for ten whole days, but not a single group of four could defeat Sun Yu!
As for even larger numbers, like one-on-six or one-on-seven, even if Sun Yu dared to say it, they wouldn't dare to go up. After all, winning would be embarrassing, and losing would be even more embarrassing.
It was better to just choose not to fight and avoid the annoyance!
Therefore, the day before the grade ranking competition, Sun Yu, the battle maniac, once again entered the blacklist of all first-year students, and it was a bolded and underlined blacklist.
If it weren't for the upcoming ranking competition, due to Sun Yu's overwhelming power, the first-year students wouldn't even dare to go to the Bai Zhan Arena much.
"....."
On this day, as the Academy finally posted the ranking lists for each grade, all the students of all grades in Hundred Battles Academy were stirred up!
With the release of this list, it could be predicted that the next three days would be the most lively period in Hundred Battles Academy.
Because this period was the Academy's annual grade positioning competition.
First, the Academy would initially rank the students of each grade based on their strength, from high to low. If any student disagreed, they could challenge a higher-ranked student.
If they didn't challenge, it meant they accepted the ranking by default. Three days later, once the ranking competition concluded, the rankings would be officially confirmed and no further changes or modifications would be made until the next year's grade ranking competition, when a new round of changes would begin!
And the students in Hundred Battles Academy were all at the age of passionate youth.
With their burning ambition, how could they tolerate seeing their ranking lower than others?
Therefore, currently, except for the first-year students, the second-year and third-year students were all extremely invested in this challenge!
They had already decided who they would challenge on the day the competition began.
The first-place students in the second year and third year were the main targets of challenge for their respective grade mates...
As for the first-year students, they had all directly given up on the idea of competing for first place.
After all, everyone knew that Sun Yu, who had dominated the first-year students for two whole months, would definitely be the undisputed first place in the first year. Who would be so foolish as to challenge him at this time...?
And since they couldn't take first place, they could only turn their attention to competing for second place!
"Just wait, second place, I'm claiming it, I said so!"
"Hmph, second place is mine!"
"Are you kidding? I am the chosen second place! None of you are worthy!"
Just as the first-year students were fiercely competing for second place, the positioning competition list quietly appeared, and with the appearance of this list, all the first-year and second-year students were shocked!
Because Sun Yu, a first-year student, was not participating in the first-year ranking competition, but in the second-year ranking competition!
In other words, Sun Yu was participating in the competition among the second-year Spirit Grandmasters.
And not participating in the competition among their first-year Spirit Masters!
As soon as this news broke, the first-year students were all in an uproar.
They all cheered for the Dean, saying he was amazing.
