The time has come, and the ranking competition for the palace examination, which is held every four years, is about to begin.
The most tense moment has arrived.
At the Yanhuang Academy, the five palace masters are in charge and personally supervise the ranking battles, which shows that the academy attaches great importance to the ranking battles.
In previous clearance battles, only the guru was in charge.
The time has come, and the five palace masters are present together.
Among the five palace masters, the one in the middle this time is the master of the Phoenix Palace, Wei Zikun.
For this year’s Palace Examination Ranking Competition, it is the Phoenix Palace’s turn to take full charge and control the overall situation.
"I, Wei Zikun, together with the other four palace masters, welcome you all."
As soon as this opening statement came out, there were bursts of cheers and noises.
This means that exciting times have arrived.
"Before the ranking battle begins, on behalf of the academy, I would like to extend a grand welcome to all of you important guests who have come to sit here."
"With you watching the battle, the Academy Ranking Battle will be more fair, strict, and glorious!"
"You still don't know which experts are already here. Please allow Wei Zikun to introduce them to you!"
Those noble beings are now in private rooms and cannot be seen by the public.
“First of all, let us welcome His Highness ‘King Xuan’ of the Suzaku Royal Family!”
"I've met King Xuan."
There were all decent people present today. When they heard that King Xuan had come in person, they naturally said hello in unison.
King Xuan is the younger brother of King Suzaku, one of the top figures in the Suzaku royal family, and the right-hand man of King Suzaku.
Wei Zikun was the first to introduce him, which naturally meant that he had the highest status present.
In one of the most luxurious elegant rooms, a gentle voice came: "Without courtesy, today's protagonist is a young man. I'm just here to watch, so don't be restrained."
It is said that King Xuan has a very good temper, and it turned out to be so when I heard it today.
Wei Zikun continued to introduce.
The second heavyweight guest is from the ‘Tianji Palace’.
Strictly speaking, Tianji Palace is not considered a force.
Because Tianji Palace is affiliated with the Suzaku royal family.
Today, most of the officials in the Suzaku Kingdom were trained by the Tianji Palace.
Tianji Palace attaches great importance to culture and education, as well as martial arts practice.
Different from Yanhuang Academy, Tianji Palace cultivates more talents for governing the country.
Now the ‘Master Xiangguo’ of the Suzaku Kingdom is the master of the Tianji Palace.
The person who came to watch the battle on behalf of Tianji Palace today was introduced to be ‘Qin Xuanyu’, the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty and the master of the library of Tianji Palace.
She is also one of the most beautiful people in Yandu, and her age is about the same as Wei Jing and others.
The third heavyweight guest is from Lei Zun Mansion. He is the son of Lei Zun and the next generation of Lei Zun, named ‘Lin Tianjian’.
Lin Tianjian has taken over the position of marshal of the 'Lei Ming Army' from his father, and is now the number one marshal of the Suzaku Kingdom and a peerless strong man.
His power and status are very high. In fact, in terms of fame and status, he is definitely above Qin Xuanyu of Tianji Palace.
However, the Suzaku Kingdom has a habit of arranging the Tianji Palace, which serves the Suzaku royal family, in front of the Lei Zun Mansion.
Over the years, Tianji Palace and Lei Zun Mansion have protected the Suzaku Kingdom through the ages.
Lin Tianjian and the Twin Saints of the Stars were from the same generation. He was the proud son of the Lei Zun Mansion of the previous generation. It is said that in the competition among his generation, he was no worse than the Twin Saints of the Stars.
Of course Li Tianming knows that he also has another identity, that is, the father of Lin Xiaoting and Lin Xiaoxiao!
So when he heard this name, Li Tianming was wondering, were Lin Xiaoting and Mu Qingqing sitting next to him at this time?
If so, will they look for themselves among the crowd?
When his eyes fell on the private room, Wei Zikun continued to introduce other important guests.
For example, Chen Sheng’s wife Xue Lan from the Star Chamber of Commerce, Star Saint’s wife ‘Mrs. Yuan Yu’, ‘Thousand Machine City Lord’ Zhang Yunji, Deputy Lord of the Judgment Hall Zhao Danhong and more than 20 people in the entire Suzaku Kingdom are considered
The existence of influential figures.
Strong men of their age have reached the peak of their cultivation.
Together they control the lifeblood of the Suzaku Kingdom.
"That's almost it. Next, let's unveil the new issue of the 'Yanhuang List' together!"
Next to the gate of Yanhuang Battlefield, there stands a huge stone monument.
The stone tablet is thick and ancient, bearing the vicissitudes of the ages.
It is the spiritual symbol of the academy and is called the Yanhuang Stone Stele.
The so-called 'Yanhuang List' is the list ranked by junior class disciples through ranking competition, and will eventually be listed on the Yanhuang Stone Tablet.
From now on, everyone who walks into Yanhuang Academy will see this Yanhuang List at first sight.
Just imagine, being ranked at the top of the list and being looked up to by people all the time, what an honor it is?
The title of No. 1 Disciple in the Imperial Examination is easy for people to become obsessed with.
Four years ago, Lin Xiaoting from Lei Zun Mansion defeated all other heroes and topped the Yanhuang List, causing a sensation across the country.
You know, in the decades before that, the first disciples were basically occupied by geniuses from the Suzaku royal family.
That year, Li Tianming personally witnessed Lin Xiaoting's glory.
At that time, he was ranked at the bottom of the Yanhuang rankings, but his vision was not high at that time and he thought he was already pretty good.
After all, his background is definitely incomparable to Lin Xiaoting.
Now, on the stone tablet, the Yanhuang List has been washed away.
Next, through ranked battles, names will appear on the list, and new legends will be born here.
The glory of the first disciple is extremely desired by all forces.
Otherwise, how could a figure like Xuan Wang Lin Tianjian and Qin Xuanyu personally take charge?
The unveiling of the Yanhuang List basically means that the ranking battle has officially begun.
Nowadays, people's attention is focused on the Yanhuang List. The blank stone tablet can make people imagine endlessly.
Outside the blank stone monument, thousands of fireflies were flying around the stone monument.
The tail of this firefly burns with a golden flame.
Li Tianming has already seen it. It is through this flame that they write the golden names of their disciples on the Yanhuang List.
These fireflies come from the companion beasts of the Mother Emperor system, and this companion beast of the Mother Emperor system is said to come from a master from the Tianyi Palace.
This master possesses the female companion beast ‘Firefly Celestial Worm’.
The golden name is burning on the Yanhuang list, it looks really majestic!
"I announce that the ranking battle has officially begun!"
The ranking of the next battle will be arranged by the masters.
For example, Mu Wan is responsible for fifty students in her junior class.
"Li Tianming, why are you here!" When Li Tianming returned to Muwan's class from the crowd, he was glared at by Master Muwan.
"Master, don't you know that important people have to make their final appearance?" Li Tianming said with a smile.
Mu Wan was dressed especially grandly today, and her noble and cool demeanor was a beautiful sight in this Yanhuang battlefield.
"So confident? I hope you will be beaten into a pig's head later." Master Mu Wan searched for him for a long time, but couldn't find anyone. Of course, he was a little unhappy.
"How is this possible? I want to strive for glory for my master and glory for the Phoenix Palace." Li Tianming said.
Hearing his words, the disciples of Muwan Class shook their heads secretly.
In their eyes, Li Tianming seemed not only morally corrupt, but also glib and arrogant.
They completely couldn't figure out why Master Muwan would focus on cultivating such "filthy" people.
"Just be honest with me. I will sort it out with the other masters and select a suitable opponent for you. Just wait." Master Muwan rolled her eyes at him and started to get busy.
The rules of ranked battles are very complicated. In short, they are the ‘thousand-point system’.
All disciples who pass the battle will be given a comprehensive score by their masters, with a perfect score of one thousand points.
The masters judge and estimate the disciple's strength, give a score, remove the high and low scores and then average the score, and the result is a disciple's initial score.
At the beginning of the Yanhuang List, the rankings are based on the initial scores.
Of course, the initial score is not the final score.
Next, the disciple can continue to challenge and improve the guru's judgment of himself, and let the guru re-rate himself.
However, if more than half of the masters recognize it, their cultivation strength matches the current score, and their performance has not exceeded their level.
Then, the student's score will become the final score.
The masters are very experienced, and they can basically determine the level of talent, potential and strength of this disciple after watching a battle.
Many of the initial scores are actually very accurate.
Li Tianming doesn't care about this thousand-point system at all. To him, the rules of the ranking battle are very simple.
That is, he only needs to keep defeating his opponents to stand at the top of the Yanhuang Ranking!
There were many disciples participating in the ranking battle, and the masters made a lot of preliminary arrangements for the disciples to compete in pairs to score points.
This process is definitely long, but it is also very fair.
Li Tianming followed Master Muwan's arrangements and waited honestly for the masters to arrange his first opponent.
"As long as I show top-notch strength in the first battle and enter the top ten in the preliminary rating, I don't need to fight all the way up from the bottom." Li Tianming knew very well.
The ferociousness of last night still lingers in my heart, maybe the person who arranged to assassinate me is in this Yanhuang battlefield.
Therefore, he is still full of blood and rage.
Just waiting for the moment of battle, madness breaks out!
More than ten battles were going on at the same time. Golden names soon appeared on the Yanhuang list. The masters comprehensively evaluated the scores and listed them on the Yanhuang list.
For example, the name ranked first on the Yanhuang list at this time——
Chen Yao, 870 points!
In the thousand-point system, it is very rare for the initial score to be so high.
This glorious name immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience.
