âBloody hell, is there really need for such malice? Even if we have the same talents, they have spent an additional year studying at the Holy Institute than us. What the hell!â
An SS-level genius, who prides himself as the foremost freshman, was taken aback. He wouldnât let anyone belittle him and had planned to vie for the position of the top freshman.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Institute began with this rule.
He came from a decent family, so his understanding of the Holy Institute was naturally better than ordinary people, and he was well aware of the strength of the students there.
Hence, he blurted out his grievances.
Among the new students, the vast majority of talented people came from well-off families, with only a few commoner prodigies like Ye Feng.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the stands where the sophomore students of the Holy Institute were seated, a group of men and women watched the freshers in the Saint Martial Square with interest. They were some of the interested third and fourth-year students.
Back then, they also started in this manner, but at that time, the upper echelons of the Holy Institute didnât stir things up like theyâre doing now.
âSister Xianâer, are you looking at Ye Feng?â
Among the group of men and women, a beautiful woman whose eyes were as soft as waves, asked the woman with an enchanting face and captivating body next to her.
Luo Xianâer smiled faintly, causing the male students around her, who had been secretly paying attention to her, to become absent-minded.
âAfter all, he is a god-tier genius. Isnât it quite normal for me to pay him attention?â
Luo Xianâerâs voice was melodious and lingering, making it hard to forget after hearing it.
A girl next to her playfully stuck her tongue out; she knew what kind of character her elder sister had. She was an infamous enchantress within the Holy Institute.
Though Sister Xianâer wasnât an innate god-tier talent holder, she did possess dual SS-level talents. One of her talents metamorphosed into an SSS-level god-tier talent due to a great fortune she encountered last year. Now, she was firmly established as the top student in their third year.
Moreover, Sister Xianerâs older sister, who was considered one of the god-tier
geniuses in the Holy Institute, was known as the Ice Fairy Luo Qingcheng. She was even more powerful than Luo Xianâer and had already gone to the frontier to participate in the war.
The key was that Sister Xianâer loved to tease people. Looking at the situation now, it seemed that Ye Feng had already made it onto her hit list.
Thinking of this, the girl cheekily grinned, immediately feeling that todayâs competition for the new students was going to be entertaining.
âCome on, guys, letâs go train our junior brothers and sisters!â
At this moment, a young man with black eyeshadow and gray-white hair on the left side of the stands stood up, leaping down from the stands.
Other sophomore students followed suit. Only an ordinary-looking young man remained seated. It was as if the others didnât notice at all that he stayed.
âWang Wii!â
The young man with the eyeshadow shouted a name, and a young man emerged from his side to face the new students.
âDear junior brothers and sisters, who wants to spar with me? Among us, I have the lowest cultivation level, just at Level two of the Diamond Realm!â
âDonât say I didnât warn you, those who will take the stage later are stronger than me, so donât waste your chance!â Wang Wu grinned towards the crowd.
âI, Zhou Yang, will compete with you!â
As soon as the voice fell, a young man appeared in the center of the Saint Martial Square in a flash, followed by a huge figure that emerged behind him.
A Nine-star Monster, the Frost Dragon!
âNice- I like it straightforward!â
A glint flashed in Wang Wuâs eyes, the next moment his Imperial Beast appeared.
A Nine-star Monster, the Ancient Tree Demon!
âRoar!â
The moment the Ancient Tree Demon appeared, a chill filled the eyes of the Frost Dragon, which let out a skyward roar. A cold ice flame erupted from its mouth towards the enormous Tree Demon.
The temperature on the Saint Martial Square plummeted suddenly, freezing the ground where the ice flame passed.
âWillow Blade!â
A brilliant light flashed in Wang Wuâs eyes, his voice resounding and forceful.
âPrickling!â
A green leaf fell from the body of the Ancient Tree Demon, which then burst into bright green light. Under the influence of the green light, the green leaf spun rapidly, turning into a green wheel of light rushing towards the ice flame.
âArrogant!â
Zhou Yang watching this was pissed. We all have Nine-star Monsters. Even if you entered the Holy Institute a year earlier than me, and your Monster is stronger than mine, itâs too much for you to counterattack my dragon flames with an ordinary technique, isnât it?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang felt so indignant, his anger boiling over. Perhaps sensing Zhou Yangâs emotions, the Frost Dragonâs ice flame intensified by threefold, with its chilly air raging like a storm, spreading towards its surroundings.
The time it took to talk was longer than the action, and in the blink of an eye, the flying blade and ice flame collided in mid-air!
âCrackle-
A piercing sound rang out, and a green light formed into a flying dagger that directly separated the ice and flame, driving straight toward the Frost Dragon.
âDamn!â
Startled, Zhou Yang quickly covered the Frost Dragonâs body with a deep blue aura.
A blue light shield completely enveloped its body.
Ability: Ice Polar Shield!
A playful gleam passed through Wang Wuâs eyes. The Willow Blade, on its way to the Frost Dragon, suddenly twisted around mid-air. With a flash of green light, it stopped in front of Zhou Yangâs neck.
Feeling the sharpness emanating from the green light, Zhou Yang was covered in sweat.
âBrother, youâve lost!â
Wang Wu said with a light laugh, without giving another glance to Zhou Yangâs dark-as-coal expression.
âDamna Zhou Yang is not weak, how could he lose so quickly, he was too careless!â
âItâs not about being careless; his battle consciousness simply cannot be compared with the senior students whoâve practiced in the Holy Institute for a year!â
Among this yearâs new students, some realised that targeting the Master of the Imperial Beasts, rather than the beasts themselves, was more beneficial.
After all, if the master died, the Imperial Beasts would be severely injured and lose their combat power.
âSun Jie, Li Ling, Wu Xiong, Zheng Jun!â
The youth with eye shadow then called out four names, and four figures emerged. After some hesitation, four people were chosen from the new students.
âDamn, I was too careless!â
âShit, I was actually ambushed!â
âImpossible, how could I lose the moment I blinked!â
âI canât believe it!â
What the new students found unbelievable was that these four matches ended even faster than the one between Wang Wu and Zhou Yang. The new students lost all four matches.
âThis is a crushing defeat, do we even stand a chance?â
âCould it be that the gap between us and the second-year senior students is this huge?â
It should be noted that among the four new students who just went up, some were quite famous and were strong contenders for this yearâs top freshman. However, even such individuals couldnât last a few rounds.
Ye Feng, standing amidst the new students, watched each match closely, not missing a single detail.
The second-year seniors of the Holy Institute indeed had much experience; Ye Feng could see that at a glance.
Their battles with the new students made Ye Feng realize one truth. Only when the Beast Tamer was safe could the power of the Imperial Beasts be maximized.
After all, when facing monster beasts and monster races, they wouldnât just fight against your Imperial Beasts. The aim was, of course, to achieve maximum results with minimal expenditure.
âDamn, these guys are all so strong. I feel like itâs futile for me to even challenge them. So, the responsibility of being the new student champion is on your shoulders!â
The young man with an earring pat the long-haired youth next to him, causing the latterâs face to twitch unnaturally.
Tian!â
The youth with eye shadow called another name; a young man with a carefree demeanor and a toothpick in his mouth stood up.
The long-haired youth hesitated before standing up, glancing at Ye Feng who remained nonchalant.
âI remember, this kid is supposed to be the strongest among these new students, right? Before that Ye Feng came?â
On the main viewing stand, a middle-aged woman with silver hair raised her eyebrow as she spoke.
âExactly, his name is Jiang Shaojie, hailing from the Jiang Family of Pangu
City! â
The young man took a sip of wine from his wine gourd and belched.
âA direct descendant of the Jiang Family, thatâs interesting!â
The old woman beside him had a hidden gleam in her eyes behind her glasses.
At the same time, Ye Fengâs gaze was on Jiang Shaojie and Xu Tianâhe felt a tremendous power emanating from them.
Xu Tianâs strength was unsurprising, but Jiang Shaojieâs power was quite different from Wang Huâs. Their levels were as distinct as heaven and earth.
It seemed the Human Federation was indeed not lacking in geniuses.
And these were all below God-tier genius.. Just how powerful were the five God-tier geniuses who left the Holy Institute for the frontier?
