C30 The Failure of the Breakthrough Caused the Repeaters to Make Their Debut!

At this moment, within the God's Favored Camp, all eyes were on Su Yu, their expressions a mix of emotions. Just moments before, Su Yu had boldly rejected the Holy Spear Marquis in front of everyone. The Holy Spear Marquis—the sole Marquis Conferring Expert in Jiangnan Province, a formidable presence on the cusp of reaching the King Conferring Stage—had been turned down by Su Yu, leaving everyone struggling to come to terms with it.

"Humph, the arrogance," Wang Xi muttered bitterly from within the crowd. "To be taken as a disciple by the Holy Spear Marquis is an honor. Does he think his talent is unmatched? Rejecting the Holy Spear Marquis? He's nothing but an egotistical fool who will likely amount to nothing."

His sentiments resonated with many. "Exactly! No matter how high his talent, such arrogance is unwarranted. Does he expect a King Conferring Expert to take him on as a disciple? Ridiculous!"

"Indeed, those King Conferring Experts are lofty figures. To even catch the Holy Spear Marquis' eye is a rare privilege. I, for one, would have accepted without a second thought!"

Amidst the murmurs of the gathered prodigies, Yang Xiao stood silently before stepping forward. "And that's why you'll never set any records," he declared, his authority among the geniuses evident. Even Wang Xi, Su Yu's most vocal critic, held his tongue at Yang Xiao's words.

Yang Xiao's gaze met Su Yu's, brimming with an intense yearning for battle. "Su Yu, you're formidable. I challenge you to a duel!"

Su Yu was about to respond when Yang Xiao cut him off, "I won't take advantage of you. I'm at the Blood Refining Stage, and you're just at the Blood Essence Stage. Let's wait until you've advanced, then we'll have our fight. What do you say?"

Su Yu looked at the eager young man before him and couldn't help but smile. Somehow, this youth, with his pure fighting spirit, seemed to be just the right kind of rival for him. A slight smile played on Su Yu's lips.

"Absolutely!"

Yang Xiao burst into laughter as well.

"Hahaha, I hope you won't keep me waiting too long!"

Su Yu responded with a grin, "No way!"

In that moment, the middle-aged instructor was wrestling with his thoughts, his gaze at Su Yu tinged with complexity.

He then turned slowly to Bai Zhan and demanded,

"I need an explanation for this situation."

With a wry smile, Bai Zhan recounted his conversation with Wang Loong to the instructors.

The mood among them instantly turned grave.

The middle-aged man, in particular, looked utterly astounded and quickly grasped Bai Zhan's arm, pressing him for confirmation.

"Are you serious? You're certain it's him?"

Bai Zhan gave another bitter laugh.

"The president himself confirmed it. Could it possibly be false?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man let out a relieved laugh, his mood lifting.

"Hahaha, who would have thought that Jiangnan Province would produce such a prodigy this year!"

At that moment, as the middle-aged man's eyes settled on Su Yu, his approval was evident.

"Excellent! It won't be long before Jiangnan Province sees the rise of another unparalleled warrior!"

Su Yu's emergence marked the conclusion of the Prodigy Ranking.

Among the newcomers, Yang Xiao stood out with the highest rank. As the grandson of the vice president of the Jiangnan Province Martial Artist Association and an orange God's Favored, he had been training since birth.

His high rank was to be expected.

Overall, he was ranked 69th!

Second place didn't go to Su Yu.

It went to a rather inconspicuous individual named Mu Yun.

Despite reaching the 41st floor of the Mirage Tower, Mu Yun had failed to make a lasting impression on anyone.

His overall rank was 73rd!

Third place was claimed by Su Yu.

He was the sole contender to have reached this level with the cultivation of the Blood Essence Stage.

His overall rank was 78th!

While he hadn't surpassed the repeaters, reaching this point with his cultivation level was no small feat.

He had, after all, made history!

Afterward, under the guidance of Chen Zhe,

The group made their way to the dormitories of the God's Favored Camp.

The dormitories at the God's Favored Camp were all single rooms, fully equipped with every amenity one could need.

Once everyone had been assigned their quarters, Chen Zhe distributed unique tokens to each person, each one engraved with their respective names.

"Your tokens represent your points. Here at the God's Favored Camp, points can be traded for anything. With enough points, you can even redeem them for a Spirit Weapon!"

"Keep in mind that your points vary according to your Prodigy Ranking. You'll see the details for yourselves later on."

With his instructions complete, Chen Zhe departed.

Su Yu retreated to his room, toying with his token before gently pressing it. A projection sprang forth, displaying his point balance.

"Two hundred points?" Su Yu's eyebrows quirked up in curiosity.

Unsure of what two hundred points could actually accomplish within the camp, Su Yu fiddled with the token a bit longer before tucking it away and beginning his cultivation practice.

The side effects of the Marrow Refining Pill lingered, necessitating a wait of another couple of days before he could take it again.

For now, Su Yu could only resort to the Bone QRefining Pill.

Holding the pill in his hand, a slight smile played on his lips. "It's up to you whether I'll advance to the Blood Refining Stage or not."

With that, he swallowed the Bone QRefining Pill.

The pill dissolved into a warm surge that flooded through his entire body, causing his Blood Essence Value to roil and his bones to ache under the potent influence of the medicine.

Thankfully, Su Yu was no stranger to the Bone QRefining Pill and was well-prepared to endure its effects.

Time ticked by as his Blood Essence Value grew increasingly robust. Eventually, Su Yu's eyes fluttered open, a flash of crimson brilliance darting across his gaze.

"No breakthrough?" he murmured, a slight frown creasing his brow.

It was common knowledge that the Bone QRefining Pill should enhance one's Blood Essence Value by a point. Su Yu was already at nine points, yet even after consuming the pill, he hadn't ascended to the Blood Refining Stage.

Although he hadn't advanced to the Blood Refining Stage, Su Yu could distinctly feel that his Blood Essence Value had grown more robust.

His strength had increased noticeably since before.

"Let it go, I'll talk to the instructor tomorrow."

Su Yu didn't obsess over the promotion; instead, he eased his mindset.

Glancing out the window, night had already set in. The dappled starlight poured down, casting an extraordinarily serene ambiance.

Just as Su Yu was preparing to resume his cultivation...

An angry bellow erupted from outside the door.

"Newbies, roll out here now!"
