High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 154 141: Making a Name for Himself!

Every year, with the new student enrollment.

The high-level professors at Penglai University always fight over those few outstanding talents.

Who can blame them when there are too many wolves and too little meat?

The top students are often so few that they cannot be evenly distributed among these high-level professors.

However, in previous years, the competition was for the Upper A level students with the Tao Bone talent.

But this time, itʼs quite unusual; everyone is competing for an Original Talent.

If this scene were seen by outsiders, they would surely be astonished.

Chen Yuntian glanced at the intense argument among his colleagues, a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

”That kid Jiang Ye performed too well, it might not be easy to win him over.”

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned to Zhu Honglie beside him.

”Old Zhu is acting like a pig climbing a tree today?”

”Why isnʼt he reacting at all? Does he not plan to take on a student?” Chen Yuntian thought to himself.

Usually, Zhu Honglie was his fiercest competitor.

But this time? The other party looked completely relaxed with no intention of competing.

”Has he given up?” Chen Yuntian nodded secretly, realizing that he now had one less competitor.

Zhu Honglieʼs status at the school is not inferior to his at all.

Although the other side doesnʼt have many famous disciples, when it comes to actual strength, the other is superior.

”Alright.”

At this moment, Elder Bai spoke: ”Stop fighting everyone, the freshmen have finished their trials.”

”The top-ranked students have the right to choose.”

”If you want to take on students, go now.” As he spoke, he flickered and disappeared without a trace.

The teachers present also stopped their arguments one after another.

”Whoosh!” ”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!” The figures flashed and disappeared.

...

Inside the Penglai Celestial Tower.

A silver-white hall.

”Whoosh!” ”Whoosh!” ”Whoosh~” With the flashing lights, figures appeared in the hall.

After the Penglai Gift ended, this Heaven-Reaching Refining also came to an end.

Over a thousand newborns! All were transported to this hall.

”Itʼs over.”

”Damn it, didnʼt pass the trial.”

”I wonder what rank I got?”

”Look quickly, the rankings are out!” Many people, upon entering the hall, immediately noticed a huge holographic screen projection at the front of the hall.

The screen projection displayed three lists.

Newborn personal ranking.

Provincial personal ranking.

Federation Forty Provinces ranking.

”My ranking.” Lin Yushu stood in the crowd, looking a bit nervous.

He didnʼt pass the trial, but he was still very concerned about his ranking.

”Buzz~” The rankings on the screen were changing quickly.

Soon, all three rankings were displayed.

[Newborn Personal Ranking]

First Place: Jiang Ye

Second Place: Shen Changxi

Third Place: Liu Wanxiao

Fourth Place: Yun QingʼEr

...

[West Mountain Province Personal Ranking]

First Place: Jiang Ye (Newborn 1st Place)

Second Place: Yun QingʼEr (Newborn 4th Place)

Third Place: Xu Haoran (Newborn 35th Place)

Fourth Place: Song Wanbai (Newborn 90th Place)

Fifth Place: Zhao Qingli (Newborn 290th Place)

...

[Federation Forty Provinces Ranking]

First Place: Eastern Sea Province

Second Place: Nanyang Province

...

Nineteenth Place: West Mountain Province

...

”First Place, Jiang Ye? Who is that?”

”Never heard of him, how can he be stronger than Shen Changxi and Liu Wanxiao?”

”Who is he? Does he also come from Tianhai High School?”

The moment the rankings appeared, everyone was beyond surprised.

They all knew Shen Changxi and Liu Wanxiao.

But who was Jiang Ye? A completely unheard-of name!

On the West Mountain Province side, everyoneʼs mouths hung wide open.

”Newborn First Place, Jiang Ye?!”

”Am I seeing things? Not only is he provincial first, but also newborn first?” The over twenty students from West Mountain Province were in an uproar.

”Brother Jiang? First place?” Lin Yushu was also utterly shocked.

He could barely accept the provincial first place.

But newborn first? Inconceivable!

To know that all of the top ten newborns were Upper A level students, Jiang Ye was the only B level student!

”Check it out, West Mountain Province reached the nineteenth place?”

”Isnʼt that a backward province?”

”Because Jiang Ye, the newborn first, is from West Mountain Province!” The freshmen from other provinces were equally astonished.

Especially those from the other ten provinces of the Western Regions.

Most of their provinces were ranked beyond the thirtieth.

But West Mountain Province? Surged to nineteenth place!

”Really, did West Mountain Province make it to the nineteenth place?”

”My gosh, it surpassed a province among the ten provinces of the Eastern Domain?”

”Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!” The crowd from West Mountain Province went completely wild.

West Mountain Province, within the top twenty!

Never thought of it!

”West Mountain Province! Nineteenth place.” Xu Haoran, Song Wanbai, and others were also incredibly delighted.

This is their collective glory!

”Jiang Ye, awesome!”

”Jiang Ye!!” The freshmen from West Mountain Province all shouted excitedly.

Besides the top few, the vast majority of them were eliminated.

Still ranked nineteenth in the whole Federation?

No doubt about it, Jiang Yeʼs contribution was substantial!

Jiang Ye taking first place among the newborns significantly boosted the provincial ranking.

Significantly!

”Jiang Ye, congratulations!” Zhao Qingli grinned at the young man beside him, ”Youʼve made a name for yourself.”

”And congratulations to you, too.” Jiang Ye chuckled, ”Being among the top three hundred qualifies you to enhance the contract.”

As he said this.

”Buzz!”

The hall suddenly fell into a slight calm.

A dozen figures suddenly appeared above the hall.

The leading figure, with a head of silver hair, wore a white robe and exuded an exceptionally refined air.

”Principal Bai.” Many of the students recognized him.

Bai Qiudao, Vice Principal of Penglai University!

Also, one of the known powerhouses at Penglai University, rumored to have reached or exceeded the Seventh Break Realm.

”Children.”

”Congratulations on completing the Penglai Heaven-Reaching Refining.” Elder Baiʼs voice was gentle, ”Those who didnʼt pass, donʼt be discouraged, there will still be opportunities in the future to retake the trials.”

He didnʼt say much more.

After briefly discussing the trials, Elder Bai continued, ”The students in the top hundred of the newborn personal ranking can freely choose their teachers.”

”They are the highest-level professors of our Penglai University.”

Saying this, Elder Bai looked at the dozen figures beside him.

”Please introduce yourselves to the students.” Elder Bai said politely.

The dozen teachers nodded, then stepped forward to introduce themselves one by one.

”I am Chen Yuntian and I only take geniuses under my wing.”

His words caused a slight murmur throughout the hall.

One by one, each teacher stepped forward to introduce themselves.

”I am Song Wanbai. I take on students who wish to hone their spear technique!”

”My name is Liu Wanxiao. I will take on one student this year.”

”I am Gu Xuantong. I specialize in saber techniques.”

”...”

Finally, Elder Bai spoke, ”Letʼs start with the first place.”

Jiang Ye stepped forward with a calm smile on his face.

Elder Bai nodded, ”Jiang Ye, as the top-ranked student, you have the right to choose your master first. Which master do you choose?”

All eyes were on Jiang Ye, waiting for his decision.

”Iʼm grateful for your recognition. I choose... Elder Bai,” Jiang Ye replied calmly.

A hush fell over the hall, and even Elder Bai looked surprised for a moment before a smile broke across his face.

”Youʼve made a wise choice,” Elder Bai said, nodding in approval. ”Letʼs see, who else do we have?”

The teachers resumed their introductions.
