Chapter 259: Official Promotional Exam Competition
“I don’t see anyone powerful over here in our groups!” Feng Ping looked around and said to Tyrion and his friend Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye had his hair down, covering his shoulders, which made him look extremely wild. He said, “They are still too young, in the past five years, the craziest time was when only three people were pushed off the top ten. Normally, it would be a surprise if two people are off the rank.”
Feng Ping moved his eyes away from the group, he did not really care who he was about to battle with, since warriors below the Super Soldier Realm were very unlikely to be in the top ten. Over the past five years, only the core disciple Lucia had broken this pattern.
Zhou Ruo said casually, “Don’t be too careless, you might trip yourself. It is not impossible for the troopersto have another Lucia.”
Harry said to Tyrion in a low voice, “You don’t know about last years competition Lucia who was only at the mid rank of super soldier stage had never lost a battle. She ended up being the top of all the inner disciples.”
Tyrion nodded, he still hadn’t gotten a chance to see how powerful Lucia truly was, even when she attacked him, she did not seem to be using all her strength. So it was really hard to imagine where the limit of her power was.
Not only her, every single one of the top ten inner disciples were extremely powerful, they all had the power to instantly kill any normal warriors at the same power level, so it was extremely hard to cross-levels and beat them, almost impossible.
Changing his tone, Harry continued to talk, “However, he was still not very strong until last year. Now he is unstoppable. Someone said that his strength might already be able to be match with the top ten of the core disciples. He is just waiting to finish the ranking
competition and then he can go become a core disciple.”
While the two of them were talking, the Sub Dean of Death Gate Academy Martial School walked to the platform in the middle with extremely light steps.
After clearing his throat, the man said loudly, “Everyone, welcome to the annual Death Gate Academy Inner student Ranking Competition. Just like the previous years, all the contestants will be separated into ten groups, with an ace contestant as No.0 in each group. They would be joining the competition within each group after five rounds, all the battles before that would be counted as a win.
The competition is conducted by taking random draws. The one whose number had been drawn out had to come up to the platform and battle until there is a winner. In addition, the competition uses a scoring system, each battle you win will earn you two points, a battle with a tie earns you one point, if you lose then there will be no points for you.
The people with top three scores in the team would be able to attend the final battles, and fight for the title of top ten inner disciples.”
“Without further ado, the ranking competition can officially begin.”
The emtie hall was once again filled with chatter, it only got louder and louder.
After nodding his head in satisfaction, the elder flashed back to his seat among the other instructors of Death Gate Academy.
Right next to each platform, all the attendants had already started drawing lots.
“The first group, No.3 against No.9.”
“The second group, No.5 against No.23!”
“The third group, …”
After hearing their numbers, some of the inner disciples walked up the platforms and started the battles with their opponents.
“I don’t see anyone powerful over here in our groups!” Harry looked around and said to Tyrion and his friend Ghastry.
Ghastry had his hair down, covering his shoulders, which made him look extremely wild. He said, “They are still too young, in the past five years, the craziest time was when only three people were pushed off the top ten. Normally, it would be a surprise if two people are off the rank.”
Harry moved his eyes away from the group, he did not really care who he was about to battle with, since warriors below the Super Soldier Realm were very unlikely to be in the top ten. Over the past five years, only the Elite student Lucia had broken this pattern.
Ghastry said casually, “Don’t be too careless, you might trip yourself. It is not impossible for the troopersto have another Lucia.”
Harry said to Tyrion in a low voice, “You don’t know about last years competition Lucia who was only at the mid rank of super soldier stage had never lost a battle. She ended up being the top of all the elite students.”
Tyrion nodded, he still hadn’t gotten a chance to see how powerful Lucia truly was, even when she attacked him, she did not seem to be using all her strength. So it was really hard to imagine where the limit of her power was.
Not only her, every single one of the top ten inner students were extremely powerful, they all had the power to instantly kill any normal warriors at the same power level, so it was extremely hard to cross-levels and beat them, almost impossible.
Changing his tone, Harry continued to talk, “However, Meng Chop was still not very strong until last year. Now he is unstoppable. Someone said that his strength might already be able to be match with the top ten of the Elite students. He is just waiting to finish the ranking
competition and then he can go become a Elite student.”
While the two of them were talking, the Sub Dean of Death Gate Academy Martial School walked to the platform in the middle with extremely light steps.
After clearing his throat, the man said loudly, “Everyone, welcome to the annual Death Gate Academy Inner student Ranking Competition.

Right next to each platform, all the attendants had already started drawing lots.
“The first group, No.3 against No.9.”
“The second group, No.5 against No.23!”
“The third group, …”
After hearing their numbers, some of the inner students walked up the platforms and started the battles with their opponents.
Coincidentally, Harry was one of the contestants in the first battle of the third group. His opponent was just like him, at first rank of super soldier Realm.
“Burning lava fist!”
On the stage, Harry yelled, while he jumped up and threw a punch at his opponent.
Pow!
The burning sparks splashed everywhere, making that inner disciple back out a few steps.
Harry had just gained some advantages in this battle, he did not want to let his opponent have any opportunities to fight back, he activated his top rank Super soldier Skill Burning lava fist art to its extreme. Ten fiery shadows of the punches shot at the same time, leaving his opponent nowhere to hide, which eventually made Harry the winner of the round.
Off the stage, Harry said in high spirit, “Great, the first opponent is not very strong.”
“This is only the first round, don’t show off too much of your strength.” Tyrion reminded his friend.
“I know, don’t worry.”
A battle normally lasted a few minutes, there were rarely any cases of the contestants having about the same strength, making it tough to determine the winner.
Some of the groups had already finished their first round of the competition, and started their second round.
“The seventh group, No.8 against No.28.”
Harry said, “Tyrion, it’s your turn.”
“Yes.”
Tyrion nodded and jumped onto the seventh platform.
“The early rank of super soldier realm… it seems like I am pretty lucky.” Tyrion’s opponent was a teenager with thick eyebrows, he held a huge blade with an interesting angle. There was visible yellow ‘DUST’ flowing around the tip of his blade, making it look extremely powerful.
Tyrion was pretty speechless, that teenager was also at their stage of super soldier Realm, he was wondering what that luck his opponent mentioned was.
“Lose!”
The teenager with thick eyebrows suddenly jumped towards Tyrion, the hard stone floor under his feet was filled with cracks as he moved. He waved his huge blade that obviously was not light as he ran towards Tyrion.
Tyrion shook his head, he waved his right hand casually. Although he looked like he spent zero effort, his whole arm was slung at such high speed that it almost disappeared.
