Chapter 567: Chapter 561: Acknowledgement or Not (6 updates)

While Su Chen was conversing with Jiuyou, at long last, the Martial Training Field began to resonate with audible whispers.

It was all a kind of hissing, the sound of sharp inhalations of breath.

Such endless shock had already left people unable to exclaim or scream out loud.

Wu Zhen walked towards the bottom of the Martial Battle Platform.

Without a word.

The Chu Jing Gang then announced, "Jun Luoying, victory! The second match will now proceed!"

The second match was Yao Xi against Zhang Zhe.

Without any surprises.

Yao Xi won.

"The top five have been decided!!!" The Chu Jing Gang announced, "Jun Luoying, Xuu Jian, Su Chen, Yao Xi, Wang Chong. These are the top five, congratulations to you all for obtaining the qualifications to enter the Qiu Qing Ancient Relics! Next, the final round of the exchange match! The ranking battle! Let me remind everyone, there are rewards for the top three from the Great Cang Academy! The first place will also receive a reward from the Royal Family! So, please take this seriously!"

The Chu Jing Gang continued, "The specific rules for the rankings are simple, I have given an initial ranking based on the performances of the five of you in the previous three rounds. Then, you all have the right to challenge the remaining contenders, win, and take their place in rank. My initial rankings are Jun Luoying first, Xuu Jian second, Su Chen third, Yao Xi fourth, and Wang Chong fifth."

This ranking was deemed incredibly fair and just.

Jun Luoying in first place, was without a doubt, undisputedly ahead from before the competition began until now.

Xuu Jian in second place, was also more or less expected, as Xuu Jian was definitely stronger than Yao Xi and Wang Chong. The only question was whether he could defeat Su Chen. Su Chen was a dark horse, but his record of defeating Sui Zhi and Cheng Yue, especially beating Cheng Yue, held immense value. However, Cheng Yue was still not quite at Xuu Jian’s level, so placing Xuu Jian in second was not problematic. Moreover, many could see that when Xuu Jian and Su Chen were both candidates for the second rank, the Chu Jing Gang’s decision served as a warning to Su Chen, considering how Su Chen had directly slain Cheng Yue, which was a slight to the Chu Jing Gang’s face.

In third place, Su Chen, there was nothing much to say, he could either be second or third.

In fourth place, Yao Xi, was also undisputed since he was definitely weaker than Su Chen, Xuu Jian, and Jun Luoying, but assuredly stronger than Wang Chong.

And fifth place, Wang Chong, in the Divine Power Realm Ninth Level, was not a monster capable of surpassing levels like the once-in-an-eternity Su Chen, so placing him last was unquestionable.

"Su Chen, if it’s not feasible, don’t challenge Xuu Jian!" Chen Jianqiong whispered to Su Chen at his side, "There isn’t much difference between second and third. If you get injured, it might affect your upcoming exploration of the Ruins. Additionally, it would be a gesture of face for the Chu Jing Gang."

Su Chen remained silent.

Qin Li also spoke up, "Brother Su, third place is already extremely, extremely outstanding, beyond everyone’s imagination. Don’t be impulsive, my heart hasn’t stopped racing up to now, it’s nerve-wracking. If you were to battle Xuu Jian, I’m sure I’d be scared out of my wits again."

The Third Prince also chimed in, "Su Chen, judging by Wu Zhen’s strength, Xuu Jian definitely has hidden moves, only stronger, not weaker! If you’re not confident, don’t rashly challenge. In the future, you’re sure to leave Xuu Jian far behind. After all, you’re currently just at the First Transformation of the Hollow Void Realm!"

The Third Prince was considering the practical aspects. He thought Su Chen had a good chance of defeating Xuu Jian, but what if he lost? It wouldn’t be perfect. If he lost, all the miracles Su Chen had created today would be discounted, damaging his reputation. Don’t underestimate the importance of reputation; it’s actually very useful, especially once you go to the imperial city, where reputation matters a great deal.

"Su Chen, you should listen to the Third Brother!" The Seventh Princess’s voice became less cold, turning clear, crisp, and pleasing to the ear.

At this moment.

All the martial cultivators watching were waiting, waiting to see if the top five would battle once more!!!

In their hearts, of course, they wanted to see more fights.

They hadn’t seen enough.

But reason told them it was not very likely, the ranking by Chu Jing Gang was too reasonable.

In Holy Spirit City.

Under the giant screen.

So many martial cultivators began to cheer and celebrate.

Su Chen taking third place!!!

Good!

That’s really good!

Truth be told, in the past, whenever there was a competition of the scale of the Four Great Academies, students from Holy Spirit Academy have never touched the top three, not even the top five.

Su Chen had created history, miracles, glorifying both the Holy Spirit Academy and the entire Scarlet Prefecture with his own power. One could imagine that after today, Su Chen’s name would spread throughout the Scarlet Prefecture.

"Sister Qiushui, Brother Su is third, is third, is third, do you hear that?" Lan Su was ecstatic. To tell the truth, when she found out that Su Chen was participating in the Qiuqing Martial Path exchange competition, her only hope was that Su Chen could safely return from this trip. After all, Su Chen was just a student at the Qian Long Institute, who had joined Holy Spirit Academy just over a month ago! And his opponents? If Su Chen could return safely, that alone would have been a victory!

But the reality was...

The representative from the Chu Jing Gang, even the Fifth Royal Highness had said, Su Chen was third!

She was extremely proud, happier than if she had received the ranking herself.

"He really is outstanding, Su’er, your sister is envious of you!" Gu Qiushui’s beautiful eyes were somewhat mesmerized and dazed.

The grace of a fair lady, a gentleman’s good fortune.

The reverse is true as well!

At the same time.

On the Great Cang Martial Training Ground.

The gaze of the Chu Jing Gang started to sweep from Wu Chong’s body: "Wang Chong, you are ranked fifth, are you willing? Do you need to challenge anyone else?"

"Willing, fifth!" Wang Chong quickly responded. Fifth place was a pick-up, would he foolishly lose face by challenging others?

The gaze of the Chu Jing Gang shifted, looking at Yao Xi: "Yao Xi, you are ranked fourth, are you willing? Do you need to challenge anyone else?"

Yao Xi quickly spoke respectfully: "Willing, fourth!"

The gaze of the Chu Jing Gang continued to move, now looking at Su Chen: "Su Chen, you are ranked third, are you willing? Do you need to challenge anyone else?"

The Chu Jing Gang really wasn’t sure.

After all, in the top five, the only suspense might be between Su Chen and Xu Jian.

The Chu Jing Gang was uncertain, and so was everyone else!!!

All eyes were on them.

Especially Xu Jian, who was staring intently at Su Chen.

The next moment.

Su Chen spoke up: "Unwilling!"

What?! Unwilling?

Really going to challenge Xu Jian?

In an instant, dead silence fell upon them.

Even the Chu Jing Gang frowned, saying coldly, "Are you sure you want to challenge Xu Jian?"

In the distance, Xu Jian’s face was cold, and suddenly he snorted: "Su Chen, if it’s a fight you want, bring it on!!! Honestly, this young master is eager to see how much this so-called dark horse weighs!"

Su Chen touched his nose and glanced at Xu Jian.

"Su Chen, speak up, are you sure you want to challenge Xu Jian?" The Chu Jing Gang saw Su Chen fall silent, frowning even more deeply.

"Fifth Prince, I have no objections to the second place you have arranged, Xu Jian," Su Chen then said seriously: "But I have some reservations about the first place you have arranged, Jun Luoying. I want to challenge Jun Luoying."

[The excitement continues tomorrow, desperately seeking recommendation tickets, rolling on the floor begging]
