"Boom!"
In the void, a starry sky arena suddenly descended.
But this time, Jiang Ye didn't appear on the arena, instead...
In the audience seats!
A large crowd of contestants appeared alongside Jiang Ye.
Dozens, a hundred, two hundred... the number kept increasing, the crowd bustling.
"Has the Top Ten tournament turned into an open space?" Jiang Ye was surprised at the sight.
Previous matches were all in enclosed spaces.
But in this round, there were spectators.
"Wow~"
At that moment, a giant screen emerged above the arena in front.
[Top Ten Contestants: Shen Changxi, Liu Wanxiao, Yun Qing'Er, Jiang Ye... Lei Xiao]
[First Match of the Top Ten: Shen Changxi vs. Lei Xiao]
[Second Match of the Top Ten: Liu Wanxiao vs...]
...
Line by line, subtitles appeared.
"Yun Qing'Er made it into the Top Ten too." Jiang Ye looked at the list, unsurprised.
"Jiang Ye!"
At that moment, a figure flashed before Jiang Ye.
"Brother Haoran?" Jiang Ye turned to look.
"Brother Jiang, you actually made it to the Top Ten!" Xu Haoran's face was full of envy.
This time in the Newborn tournament, he stopped at the Top Fifty, unable to win in the five-man free-for-alls.
Seeing his fellow clansman make it to the Top Ten made him feel extremely uncomfortable!
"Just lucky." Jiang Ye chuckled.
"Hmph! Starting with the luck again." A light hum came.
Zhao Qingli approached, carrying her "snow mountains," with snow-white legs: "Congratulations on making it to the Top Ten."
"Class President." Jiang Ye smiled: "Did you make it to the Top Hundred?"
"Stopped at the Top Hundred," Zhao Qingli sighed: "I was lucky, my opponent in the Top 250 wasn't very strong, but I got knocked out in the Top Hundred... "
"That's still quite good!" Jiang Ye laughed: "Those in the Top Hundred and above are all A-level students."
"Mm." Zhao Qingli glanced at him, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
The gap between her and Jiang Ye was growing larger.
...
While Jiang Ye was talking with Zhao Qingli and Xu Haoran, others in the Top Ten were also looking at the list.
"Jiang Ye, he really made it to the Top Ten."
Shen Changxi, with her cool and ethereal demeanor, gazed forward with beautiful eyes.
Since hearing those words from her teacher, she regarded Jiang Ye with much importance.
Now, Jiang Ye making it to the Top Ten didn't surprise her.
"I hope we meet in the next match," Shen Changxi silently said.
She always remembered what her teacher had said.
If you encounter Jiang Ye, crush him!
...
In the stands, on a high ground.
"Jiang Ye, has he also reached the Peak of First Break?" Liu Wanxiao stared at the list: "Surely, he's a formidable opponent."
"And there's Shen Changxi, Yun Qing'Er."
"These two are both very strong. I must give it my all... to take the championship!"
A fierce light burst from Liu Wanxiao's eyes.
...
In a corner.
Yun Qing'Er, dressed as a bunny girl, stood alone, nervously glancing around.
"Whoosh~" "Whoosh!"
Several shadows flashed, entering the competition space, appearing beside Yun Qing'Er.
But when they saw Yun Qing'Er, they all showed fear and quickly avoided her.
"Huh?"
"What are they afraid of?" Yun Qing'Er looked around, shrinking her neck, feeling timid.
...
Time passed.
After all the Top Ten contestants entered the competition space.
The authoritative voice sounded again.
"First match of the Top Ten, Shen Changxi vs. Lei Xiao!"
Buzz——
As the words fell, the entire competition space darkened, leaving only the starry sky arena in the center, resplendent with light.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two figures simultaneously appeared on the arena.
"The match begins!"
No nonsense, Penglai University emphasized efficiency.
After both sides chose their weapons, the battle began immediately.
"Boom!" A powerful Martial Arts Qi Spirit suddenly burst forth.
As one of the Top Ten, Lei Xiao's strength was undeniable; at the moment the battle commenced, he became a bolt of lightning.
Weapon in hand with a long spear, he unleashed a terrifying aura, charging at Shen Changxi.
"Shen Changxi." In the stands, Jiang Ye watched intently.
The reason for the open Top Ten matches was likely for the school to let contenders understand their opponents' strength in advance.
For Jiang Ye, it was also a good opportunity to learn about his opponents.
On the arena.
With white hair and red eyes, Shen Changxi stood motionless, not moving until Lei Xiao charged up to her before sidestepping quickly.
"Bang!" She lifted one snow-white straight leg, like a cannonball, crashing down onto Lei Xiao's spear.
A streak of bright Star Energy flared up and exploded instantly.
"Boom!" Lei Xiao's thrust aimed at Shen Changxi's chest was deflected by the leg strike.
Swoosh!
The next moment, a dazzling sword light slashed forth, like a red moon, striking at Lei Xiao's chest.
"Boom——" A figure flew out like a cannonball, flying off the arena.
And Shen Changxi, her slender foot landing softly, stood firm, never moving an inch from start to finish.
"Clang!" She sheathed her sword, face calm, as she walked off the arena.
[Shen Changxi wins!]
...
The whole venue was silent!
The end of the first Top Ten match came far quicker than anyone expected.
Lei Xiao, after all, was among the Top Ten, yet had no room to parry against Shen Changxi?
How vast was the gap?!
"So strong!"
"Shen Changxi didn't even use her ultimate technique, just ordinary moves were this outrageous?"
"She's nearly reached the Second Break already!" Other members of the Top Ten were all deeply solemn.
...
Soon, the second match of the Top Ten began.
Liu Wanxiao faced off against another girl in the Top Ten.
In this battle, Liu Wanxiao also demonstrated immense power.
With just three swings! He knocked down the girl.
A complete victory!
...
Third match.
Yun Qing'Er took the stage.
Facing a bald youth.
"Little beauty, don't be scared. It will be over soon."
The bald youth, seeing Yun Qing'Er's timid expression, was pleased and comforted her.
But once the match began, Yun Qing'Er pulled out a warhammer three times the size of her head.
The bald youth finally realized something was off.
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom!"
A crushing defeat.
Literal crushing.
After violently swinging her warhammer over a hundred times, Yun Qing'Er withdrew her weapon and left the stage looking timid.
Behind her, a piece of human skin paper compressed to the extreme floated away with the wind.
...
"This Yun Qing'Er..." Jiang Ye watched the timid Yun Qing'Er, unable to stop his eye from twitching.
As expected!
He'd known it couldn't be normal for her to get along with someone like Su Tong'Er, the Witch.
"Jiang Ye, it's your turn now," Zhao Qingli reminded.
"Mm." Jiang Ye nodded.
"Good luck!" Zhao Qingli clenched her white fist towards him: "You can win it easily."
"Class President really believes in me." Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile.
Once he finished speaking, his figure already vanished.
[Fourth match of the Top Ten—Jiang Ye vs. Cai Hua!]
...
"It's the first place from the Newborn trials! He's up."
"I never thought Jiang Ye could make it to the Top Ten. I heard he was only at Mid-period of First Break when he enrolled."
"His progress is astonishing! In three months, he reached the Peak from the Mid-period?"
"He probably just broke through; it seems like this will be a tug-of-war match."
"It should last at least ten minutes; don't you think?" The freshmen discussed fervently.
Amidst the buzz, the match had already started.
In just thirty seconds.
A brilliant flash of spear light, like the dawn, shot straight at the opponent's chest.
"Jiang Ye wins!"
