Chapter 171 152: Jiang Ye, Three Seconds!

Virtual Starry Sky World.

Independent Starry Sky!

This time when Jiang Ye entered, he was directly transported into the tournament space, not appearing in the lounge.

”Whew!”

As soon as Jiang Ye entered, his form appeared at the center of a massive arena.

All around, there were no other arenas.

The five hundred arenas set for the preliminaries were all separated from one another.

[Your opponent is entering the competition space, please be patient.]

”Opponent?” Jiang Ye closed his eyes to rest, indifferent to who his opponent might be.

His goal is to be number one.

Even if the preliminaries pit him against opponents like Shen Changxi or Liu Wanxiao, he would still intend to win.

Of course, thatʼs unlikely.

According to the tournament rules, the preliminaries are almost always strong versus weak, with only mid-ranked contestants facing opponents similar in rank.

They eliminate the weakest first.

Almost all knockout competitions are based on this principle.

In a moment, Jiang Yeʼs opponent finally appeared.

”Swoosh!” A figure appeared on the opposite side of the arena.

”Brother Jiang?” An exclamation rang out.

Swish~ Jiang Ye opened his eyes.

”Brother Lin?” He showed a hint of surprise.

He saw an extremely large-headed, pockmarked ugly young man standing opposite him.

Jiang Yeʼs opponent for this round of preliminaries was actually Lin Yushu!

”Brother Jiang, I didnʼt expect my opponent in the preliminaries to be you.” Lin Yushu said emotionally, ”It seems itʼll be quite a fierce battle.”

”Neither did I.” Jiang Ye laughed.

Lin Yushu ranked over five hundred in the entrance trial, with a C-Level standard.

According to the ʼstrong versus weak, middle versus middleʼ principle of the competition.

Facing Lin Yushu indicates that Jiang Yeʼs strength was rated between A Level and Middle A.

Which makes sense, since Jiang Yeʼs most recent assessment was last month.

At that time, he had not yet reached the Peak of First Break.

”Brother Jiang, how are you doing under Teacher Zhu?” Lin Yushu wasnʼt in a hurry to start the match.

The cultivation atmosphere at Penglai University was extremely tense.

Moreover, the two were in geographically distant areas, one in the Heaven Character Area and the other in the Xuan Character Area, making it hard to chat.

It had been three months since the school started, and this was their first conversation.

”Pretty good.”

”Teacher Zhu is very responsible.” Jiang Ye smiled, ”And you? I heard you joined a Sword Dao teacher.”

”I donʼt have the qualifications to join a teacher.” Lin Yushu shook his head with a smile, ”C-Level students attend classes in large lecture halls.”

”But I am indeed cultivating swordsmanship.”

”After all, I donʼt look very good, I have to fight in style.” Lin Yushu laughed.

Speaking of which, he showed a confident look, ”These three months, my swordsmanship has reached Minor Success. Brother Jiang, donʼt underestimate me; maybe you arenʼt my match.”

”Hahaha, good, letʼs have a good match!” Jiang Ye laughed heartily.

[Match Start, please select your weapon]

A light screen emerged.

Jiang Ye didnʼt hesitate and directly chose the familiar Black Dragon Spear.

Opposite, Lin Yushu chose a silver long sword.

[Match Start!]

As a subtitle landed, the two on the arena immediately transformed into shadows, darting towards each other.

The battle had begun!

...

As Jiang Ye started the match, fierce battles erupted simultaneously on the other 499 arenas.

Meanwhile.

In a separately opened space, there were five hundred projections, showing the combat footage of those five hundred arenas.

Elder Bai, Zhu Honglie, Chen Yuntian, and other school leaders were watching here.

”The preliminaries have started.” Elder Bai looked at the screen, chuckling, ”Let me see how many good seedlings are among this batch of Newborns.”

From his perspective, the importance of the Newborn tournament is far greater than the entrance exam.

Performing well at entrance only indicates decent high school grades.

The Newborn tournament is the real moment to showcase Penglai Universityʼs educational level.

Whether thereʼs progress and how much progress is made are important metrics.

”Old Zhu.”

Elder Bai suddenly looked towards Zhu Honglie beside him, smiling, ”Whatʼs Jiang Yeʼs strength like, whom youʼve taken under your wing? Iʼm quite curious.”

”Donʼt worry.” Zhu Honglie shook his head, ”Youʼll be able to see soon.”

”You guy, still acting mysterious.” Elder Bai shook his head with a smile.

”Old Zhu these days.”

”His students have been kept like treasures, hidden.” Chen Yuntian laughed hoarsely, ”Afraid weʼd find out, seems heʼs planning to let them surprise everyone.”

”Hahaha.” Several other teachers also laughed.

Everyone knows that in recent years, few of Zhu Honglieʼs students have made a name for themselves.

This time, although he took Jiang Ye, the first in the Newborn trial.

But the combat ability he exhibited later seemed to be only at Mid-period of First Break.

From these teachersʼ perspective, Jiang Ye in this tournament might not even make it to the top hundred.

When the time comes, Old Zhuʼs reaction would surely be interesting.

”Looking forward to a good show.” Several teachers laughed cheerfully, showing expressions of bystanders.

For these school leaders, besides daily cultivation and teaching, watching a colleague get embarrassed was the most entertaining thing.

”Hmm.”

Faced with the expectant gazes of his colleagues, Zhu Honglie snorted softly, not caring at all.

”Look, Jiang Ye is already starting his match.” A plump teacher suddenly said.

Instantly.

All the teachers turned to look at one of the projection screens.

Elder Bai waved his hand, enlarging that projection.

Clearly, he was also very focused on Jiang Yeʼs performance, given that he was the first-place Newborn.

In the picture, two shadows collided instantly, erupting in violent rumbling sounds.

... just three seconds later.

There was only one figure left in the picture.

Match over!

Including Elder Bai and Chen Yuntian, all the teachers were taken aback.

”Itʼs over?”

”So soon? Less than three seconds?”

”Jiang Ye? Has he reached the Peak of First Break?” The teachers were extremely surprised as they watched the screen projection.

Unexpected!

Although the battle seemed to happen very quickly, like two shadows in a fierce collision, indistinct even to the eye.

But the teachers present saw it very clearly.

The combat power Jiang Ye unleashed had completely reached the standard of the Peak of First Break!

Thatʼs precisely why he managed to defeat his opponent in less than three seconds.

”I remember when he enrolled, Jiang Ye was still at Mid-period of First Break, right?” The plump teacher was astounded, ”Now heʼs reached the Peak of First Break?”

”Thatʼs not right?”

”Jiang Ye has Original Talent? How did he improve so quickly?”

”Old Zhu, you can really hold your breath; such a major news, and you kept it bottled up for so long!” The teachers buzzed with amazement.

Before this.

Everyone thought Old Zhu was brewing something big, but the result surprised everyone!

Even a hint of astonishment flashed in Elder Baiʼs eyes, ”From Mid-period to Peak in three months, thatʼs fast.”

”Although he looks like heʼs just broken through, itʼs still quite unexpected.”

”Old Zhu, no wonder you acted mysteriously; you indeed had a big move concealed!” Elder Bai exclaimed in amazement.

Zhu Honglie kept a straight face but couldnʼt help suppressing the corners of his mouth as he smiled faintly, ”This is nothing, just the preliminaries, wait for whatʼs next.”

Elder Bai nodded, ”Looks like this kid truly has hope to enter the top ten.”

”Top ten?” Zhu Honglie smiled without speaking at the words.

Top ten is not his expectation for Jiang Ye.

Thatʼs not enough, not even close!!
