Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

”Battle Ranking, quickly show me the Battle Ranking! Let me see who my competitors are? Who exactly are the experts here?”

Even though the Grand Desolate War Institution was popular in the southeastern region, there were still major towns and cities in the north which housed countless cultivation geniuses of the Wasteland. In their own hometown, they were akin to feathers of a phoenix and horns of unicorns.

However, for the 40,000 credits, in order to become a registered refiner, in order to make the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit soar into the ninth heaven, Li Yao could only do all he could so that he could steamroll these ”feathers of the phoenix and horns of the unicorns”.

”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

When Li Yao muttered ”Newcomer Ranking”, a glittering list immediately emerged in front of him.

It had already been seven days since the institute had opened. Ordinary students might still be adapting to university life, but as far as these cultivation geniuses were concerned, the maddening blood battle had already begun!

Names of many students had already appeared on the Newcomer Ranking and were decorated with several credits after. The top most student has already earned 14 credits.

In other words, in this period of seven days, this person had already passed 4-5 basic theory courses, with an average of almost one course per day. He was truly worthy of being a one in ten thousand cultivation genius!

”Zhao Tianchong, Lu Tieshan, Gu Feixuan, Wen Ruorong...”

Li Yao narrowed his eyes as he etched these four names into his mind.

Zhao Tianchong was none other than the cultivation genius who had acquired 14 credits, while the remaining three each had 11 credits, thereby tying for second place.

These four had credits which was already in two digits, marking a much larger difference than the other students. They should be the best among the best freshmen of this year, and they were also Li Yao’s biggest competitors for the next month.

”However, what the hell is this Hidden Dragon Hall?”

Li Yao discovered that all of their names were followed by two annotations; the first was the name of the student union they belonged too.

Li Yao’s name itself was followed by ”Starfire Union”. Furthermore, it was glittering and overflowing with colorful lights to highlight his ”extraordinary” identity as the ”Starfire Union’s President”.

The four cultivation geniuses respectively came from the four major departments, but their names were also decorated with ”Hidden Dragon Hall” at the very end.

The third crystal that bore the ”Hidden Dragon Hall” characters floated over and split open over the top of his head, following which a realization immediately dawned upon him.

”So it was like this. The Hidden Dragon Hall is a training camp for ’specially recruited students’.”

”Members of the Hidden Dragon Hall are all cultivation genius who have displayed outstanding performances during the Limit Challenge Competition and were later specially recruited by the Grand Desolate War Institution.”

”They did not have to take the College Entrance Examination, so in these 3-4 months, they had gathered at the institute and were undergoing special training.”

”These specially recruited students are far more powerful than the ordinary students. Each one of them is a monstrous genius, and they regard themselves very highly and consider themselves to be ’hidden dragon’. They simply disdain competing with ordinary students.”

”The indeed had the ability to be proud. Every month, the top 100 positions of the Newcomer Ranking is occupied by these ’hidden dragon’, and only 3-5 ordinary students could pave a way to the 70-80 positions at most.”

”And there was none who could make it to the top 10.”

”However, this year...”

Li Yao licked his lips as round after round of ripples gushed out from the depths of his eyes. His blood seemed to have changed into a hot steam.

”Let’s see whether it will be you, these hidden dragons, or me, the vulture who would finally soar into the sky and sweep the winds and clouds!”

Having punched out, Li Yao started silently pondering with all his concentration:

”Bring up all the basic theory courses, no matter what difficulty level it is! The higher the credits, the better it is!”
