C924 The Ranking Battle

"Hahahaha!" When Gu Canghai heard Xiao Ming's words, he laughed out loud. He knew that as Lee Zhuohua's disciple, how could he be inferior to others in terms of cultivation? After all, he had such a strange master.

Lee Zhuohua was slightly stunned, but then he smiled. Although Xiao Ming's combat strength was much higher than before after cultivating the Green Sky Python Cow's strength, he did not expect that his opponent would actually win the first place in the ranking battle.

Maybe this was the path that the Son of Fate would take. He was only first in the Ranking War now, and he was going to be first in all sorts of ways.

When Xiao Ming saw his two masters being so happy, he was very happy in his heart.

"Then what prize did you get for first place?" Lee Zhuohua asked gently.

Hearing Lee Zhuohua ask about the prize, Xiao Ming's face immediately turned bitter.

When they saw Xiao Ming's expression, the two of them were puzzled. Could it be that there was a problem with the prizes of the Yunlan Academy?

"Teacher, don't tell me that the prizes of the Yunlan Academy are really cheap. I was the first place in the freshmen Ranking Tournament, but they only gave me a set of Dou Shi's cultivation techniques." Xiao Ming said with a look of disdain.

Gu Canghai was stunned when he heard Xiao Ming's words. In his eyes, Xiao Ming was nothing more than a warrior. Logically speaking, a Dou Shi level cultivation technique was already good enough for him, so why was he still so disgusted with it?

Lee Zhuohua, on the other hand, understood after hearing Xiao Ming's words. If Xiao Ming had obtained such a cultivation method in the past, he would definitely not have such a reaction. The main reason was that the Green Sky Python Cow's strength level was too high, causing Xiao Ming's standards to rise.

"You, although Dou Shi's cultivation technique is useless to you, you can't say that the academy is stingy either." Lee Zhuohua shook his head with a smile.

Hearing this from Lee Zhuohua, Gu Canghai was even more confused. Why was the master and disciple so strange? It was clear that a Dou Zhe had obtained a Dou Shi level cultivation method, yet he still despised it, while his master acted as if it was only natural.

He could not blame Gu Canghai for this. After all, he did not know about the matter between Lee Zhuohua and Xiao Ming.

"Alright, now that you are the first place in the freshmen ranking battle, do you plan to challenge the older students?" Lee Zhuohua put away his smile and asked.

Hearing this, Gu Canghai also looked at Xiao Ming, wanting to hear what this disciple of his had to say. Although it was a very ambitious thing for the new students to challenge the older students, they also had to consider the difference in strength between the two of them.

The smile on Xiao Ming's face slowly faded and was replaced by an air of firm confidence. In his eyes, there was a glint of desire to compete with the heavens.

"Since I'm the first among the freshmen, I will naturally challenge the first among the older students." Xiao Ming said with a firm tone.

As expected, Xiao Ming's answer was within Lee Zhuohua's expectations. He knew that with Xiao Ming's personality, he would definitely not miss out on such an opportunity, but according to Lee Zhuohua's thoughts, it was better not to challenge him. After all, the older students were definitely a realm higher than Xiao Ming.

This was not something that could be made up with cultivation techniques, but when Lee Zhuohua saw Xiao Ming's overconfident look, he felt that he had to make his disciple suffer before he knew how to restrain his edge.

"It's a good thing to be confident, but I hope that you'll be careful in your challenge. After all, your opponent's cultivation is higher than yours." Lee Zhuohua reminded Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming knew that Lee Zhuohua was concerned about him, so he nodded his head repeatedly.

Gu Canghai, who was at the side, could not understand. How could Lee Zhuohua let his disciple cross realms to challenge the older students? Wasn't this just sending food to the older students? However, Lee Zhuohua, as the master of Xiao Ming's cultivation, naturally could not say too much about this.

After that, Xiao Ming left. Since the senior students' ranking battle had already ended, the top three had already been decided. The first place belonged to a man called Wen Zhuo. His cultivation had already reached the peak of Dou Shi. Without even thinking about it, he knew that Xiao Ming would definitely choose to challenge him later.

And what was surprising was that in the senior student ranking battle, the second and third place were both girls. This was something that even Lee Zhuohua did not expect, but he was not too surprised. After all, on the path of cultivation, there had never been a saying that men were strong and women were weak.

Lee Zhuohua and the other man looked at the three old men who had accepted their prizes with smiles on their faces.

After that, the challenge was about to begin. Other than Xiao Ming, the other two of the new students had given up on challenging the older students. They knew the gap between them and the older students, so they didn't act so impulsively.

And because of this, Xiao Ming chose to challenge the older students, which caused an uproar among the students. In their eyes, Xiao Ming was just a newbie, so how could he have the confidence to challenge the older students?

Most of the students were not optimistic about the challenge, and not just the students, but even the mentors felt that Xiao Ming was being too arrogant, but the significance of the challenge was to let the new students know their inadequacies.

Therefore, many people wanted to see what kind of setback Xiao Ming would suffer in the Challenger League.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Ming firmly walked onto the arena, and the person he challenged was Wen Zhuo.

Wen Zhuo's gaze looked over indifferently. To him, the person in front of him was only a new student. He did not put him in his eyes. It was just that the other party's action of challenging him made him feel that he had been provoked. Thus, he did not look at Xiao Ming very well.

"Wen Zhuo, although you are one realm higher than me, I still want to test how much of a difference there is between you and me." Xiao Ming said with a firm gaze.

"Hmph, you're overestimating yourself." Facing Xiao Ming, Wen Zhuo snorted coldly.

The atmosphere on the stage suddenly became heavy. A great battle could erupt at any time.

Below the arena, all of the students were paying close attention to the situation on the arena. They wanted to see how long Xiao Ming could last on the arena.

Some students even set up a bet and invited other students to bet on the results. This bet was a little different. There was no option for Xiao Ming to win, only Xiao Ming could last in the arena for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Lee Zhuohua shook his head slightly, thinking that these students of the Orchid Institute were looking down on his disciple too much.

"Are you really going to let him challenge the older students so easily?" Gu Canghai still did not understand why Lee Zhuohua did not stop Xiao Ming. In his opinion, this challenge was meaningless. No matter what, Xiao Ming could only lose.

The corner of Lee Zhuohua's mouth raised slightly when he heard Gu Canghai's words.

"This child's personality is too sharp, and this is not good for his future path. I know the final outcome of this challenge, but it is also a growth for Xiao Ming. Only when he encounters a setback will he reflect on it." Lee Zhuohua looked at Xiao Ming's figure on the arena and said.

"So that's how it is, but I wonder if he will be able to receive such a blow." Gu Canghai understood Lee Zhuohua's thoughts, but he still began to worry for Xiao Ming. He was afraid that Xiao Ming would be unable to withstand the blow and would not be able to recover.

"Don't worry, if that's really the case, he isn't worthy of being my disciple." Lee Zhuohua was full of confidence in Xiao Ming.

Furthermore, Lee Zhuohua did not think that Xiao Ming would definitely lose, because the effect of the Green Sky Python Ox Strength would cause Xiao Ming's combat strength to far surpass that of a Dou Zhe at the same level.

This was one of the reasons why Lee Zhuohua was relieved to let Xiao Ming go up the stage.

No matter what the result was, this challenge would only benefit Xiao Ming. There was no harm.
