Chapter 400: spiral staircase, ten seats

Translator: 549690339 

“wind chasing arrow, yu liang! he must have reached first place in the second year. even now, he’s not moving, and i can’t see any hope of surpassing him. he’s the eternal god of shanhai college!”

” senior yu liang is indeed awesome, but i want to blow senior xia’s trumpet. she’s the big sister of the discipline department. ever since that person disappeared, she’s been firmly in second place. countless people have regarded her as their life idol and the goddess of their dreams! ”

” senior mei and senior wu are also very powerful. sigh, it’s a problem for noobs like us to even be promoted to the fourth grade. they’re about to graduate. from then on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and the future is bright … ”

the ten figures had just appeared, but they didn’t need to speak.

with the sound of drums and bamboo, the atmosphere of the entire venue was like a raging fire, rising to its peak.

even bai wushang’s calm heart was stirred.

the top ten, these were the top ten of the mountain and sea!

they each had their own duties and cultivation plans.

it wasn’t easy to gather all the members.

for example, the strongest first seat and senior mei. it was bai wushang’s first time seeing them in person.

what was particularly surprising was the man in silver armor, carrying a huge sword on his back, and looking a little proud and cold.

it was actually xue zilin!

” he must have successfully cultivated the ancient thick-armored species, the earth snail. coupled with his solid foundation, senior xue has finally entered the top ten! ”

bai wushang was very happy. this was a senior who could help him. he was worthy of respect and joy.

then, his gaze fell on the metal dummy, who had a blank expression on its face.

he could still vaguely guess who this thing corresponded to.

at least, bai wushang had heard of it when he was still in the academy.

he was ranked ninth in the mountains and seas, nicknamed the ‘genius alchemist’, and his real name was zhuge ming.

he was a third-year senior, and it was rumored that his talent was no less than yu liang, hua moyu, and xia wanlong.

however, because he was obsessed with alchemy and liked to study strange things, his contracted pets were more of the function-type rather than the combat-type.

that was why his combat power was weak and he was always at the bottom of the top ten.

in addition, he didn’t like to show his face in public, so anything that had nothing to do with alchemy was a waste of time, youth, and brain cells.

if it wasn’t for the hidden power of the top ten and the support of supplementary resources, it would have been of great significance to the position of the head of the alchemy department.

bai wushang suspected that this senior with a unique personality might turn a deaf ear to his words and disdain him.

however, it was obvious that the competition of the top ten this time had not moved him.

or rather, it wasn’t the crucial time to participate yet.

he had only sent the metal puppet as a representative, and his actual body was nowhere to be found. perhaps he was in some research room fiddling with experiments.

“silence!”

an old man flapped his wings and descended a thousand meters in the air in a flash, overlooking the entire arena.

“i’m wang ming, the notary of this event.”

“on behalf of the academy, i solemnly announce this.”

” the 41 grade 4 students of shanhai have officially graduated! ”

“哗啦啦啦–”

the applause was thunderous, and countless beasts roared to the sky, venting their master’s emotions.

due to the elimination system, the number of promoted students decreased every year.

those who were able to last until the fourth grade and not be eliminated in the end.

they were all outstanding people of their age group, with boundless prospects and a bright future.

now that the dust had settled, it was not only an affirmation of the hard work he had put in over the past four years, but also a yearning for the future path of cultivation.

the seniors of the fourth grade were all elated, and their eyes were full of smiles.

the old man saw this and revealed a gratified smile.

he stroked his grey-white beard and said with a smile, ”

” back to the main topic. in a few days, it will be the start of the new semester. there will be more than two thousand juniors joining shanhai. ”

“in order to ensure that the position of the top ten will not be replaced, in order to ensure that the spirit of the mountains and seas will be passed on from generation to generation.”

” the top ten competition will be held for three days. we will compete for the top ten in advance! ”

as soon as he finished speaking, the cheers became even louder, like a hurricane sweeping in all directions.

everyone was looking forward to it.

bai wushang was the same.

if all the fourth-grade students abdicated, the empty spots would be filled by the first, second, and third grades.

they were mei jiu, wu xiu, mu tianxing, qin kong, ning zi ‘er, and xue zilin.

that was six people!

six spots!

” this is interesting. the arrangement is quite reasonable, but the competition must be fierce, right? ”

bai wushang stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest and watched as the six ” old top ten ” walked to the nearest audience seat from the center of the stage.

the remaining ones were yu liang, xia wanlong, jiang lingyue, and the fake zhuge ming.

they each chose a battle area and stood there calmly.

“according to the rules, yu liang and xia wanlong’s ranking will not change. jiang lingyue will automatically be ranked third, and zhuge ming will be ranked fourth.”

as wang ming spoke, the ground trembled, and a formation was activated.

the ten arenas rose into the sky like ten miniature islands. they were connected from top to bottom, from high to low, and from left to right in a spiral manner.

yu liang stood on the highest floor, representing the “one” on the ceiling.

xia wanlong, jiang lingyue, and zhuge ming took the second seats, representing “two,””three,” and “four.”

the last six were completely empty.

there were flowers, trees, hills, cliffs, ponds, and swamps …

the terrain was very rich, and it was more than enough to accommodate a mixed battle of complete level fierce beasts.

” there’s no need to sign a bet agreement for the top ten. we’ll talk with our strength. ”

” if you’re confident, you can challenge the top four. you can even challenge yu liang. he’ll be happy to keep you company. ”

it was unknown what precious artifact he used, but wang ming’s voice resounded throughout the entire area. it was very gentle and not so harsh.

“still the same thing, in principle, you are responsible for your own life and death during the competition.”

“however, they are still fellow students, not mortal enemies.”

” i suggest that we stop here. if you don’t have enough strength, don’t struggle blindly and admit defeat as soon as possible. ”

bai wushang nodded slightly, and the old man said, ”

” also, the final ranking will be revealed in three days. ”

” the last ten people standing on the battlefield will be ranked according to the order of the spiral stairs. ”

“at the same time, in order to prevent unnecessary challenges, pets who have not become mystical generals or have not reached the complete form should not come up.”

” if you lose in one move, you might not even have a chance to save yourself. this kind of behavior is like throwing an egg at a rock. it’s meaningless. ”

there was a burst of laughter.

indeed, even in the era when shanhai college was at its worst, the weakest of the ten heroes.

he couldn’t be a soul servant, either. he must be a mystical general with a complete pet as his main force to support his combat strength.

furthermore, the current third-year students were known as the golden generation.

before this, he was suppressed by yu liang and the others, suffering bitterly and never being able to get out.

but it was different now. with so many vacancies, there was a lot to be done, and there were plenty of opportunities to compete.

as for the second-years, they couldn’t be underestimated either. even though they were overshadowed by jiang lingyue, they were still talented.

after a year of hard work, what kind of sparks would be produced when they collided?

many people were looking forward to it.

after a short while, the competition began, and people began to go up the stage.
