Chapter 1627 - 1628: Silence
Chapter 1627: Chapter 1628: Silence
The ranking battle has been going on for one day, and in the plaza of the Immortal Martial Academy, both the older students from the Earth Tier realm and some from the Heavenly Boundary realm were focused on a screen in the sky, where numerous names were flickering.
It was an expert who had utilized the Power of Laws, gathered on the screen, and any student entering that meteorite could have their name and points accurately recorded on the screen upon killing a Puppet Automaton.
However, out of over a million students, only ten thousand could be recorded, so only those ranked in the top ten thousand could be seen.
"Look, the names are starting to flicker, it seems they’ve begun the killings. The first is Tong Xiaotian, 44 points, he has killed 11 Immortal Class realm Puppet Automatons."
"The second is Dou Wei, 36 points, he’s the top talent of the Immortal Cloud Dynasty."
"The third is Jian Wushang, 36 points, the top talent of the Fengling Dynasty."
"The fourth is Xuanyuan Ze, 32 points."
Almost everyone focused on the top names, nearly all of whom were top talents of the three major dynasties, even Lin Yonghao and Long Tianxiao couldn’t make it into the top ten.
Moreover, the data kept changing, but the top ten rankings had almost become settled, after all, the strength of the Immortal Class realm was there, requiring an Immortal Position realm expert to kill two Puppet Automatons to equal one killed by an Immortal Class realm expert.
Additionally, the stronger one is, the more choices they have for kills, like Tong Xiaotian, with Sixth Level strength of the Immortal Class, he can kill any Immortal Treasure Sixth Realm and below Puppet Automaton, whereas Xuanyuan Ze, in the First Layer of Immortal Class, had fewer options.
"What about Ye Mo’s score?"
Many began searching for Ye Mo’s ranking, but no matter how they searched, they couldn’t find Ye Mo’s ranking on the screen, meaning Ye Mo hadn’t entered the top ten thousand.
"There’s something off, Ye Mo still has Upper Immortal strength, by rights, he should be able to rank."
In the crowd, Chen Yin couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
When she joined the academy, she learned that Ye Mo was the extraordinary talent with a 935 Potential Composite Score, and she and her brother Chen Dachui were immediately stunned. They never expected that Ye Mo, who came to the Immortal Martial Academy with them, was the strongest new talent.
Moreover, they promised Ye Mo they would come to watch this ranking battle, so Chen Yin was extremely concerned over Ye Mo’s ranking.
"Indeed, let’s keep looking!"
Chen Dachui agreed with a nod.
"You don’t need to look anymore, Ye Mo is merely an Upper Immortal who has comprehended a single law. Among the million new students, there are plenty of Upper Immortals. Can he stand out among a million new students?"
At this moment, Zhu Peng came over, starting to sneer coldly.
"Oh, it’s you. I heard when Ye Mo arrived, you deliberately caused trouble for him, but later when Master Bai Xuzi arrived, you were too frightened to utter a sound. It’s said that even as a Second Layer of Immortal Class older student, you couldn’t gain the upper hand in a clash with Ye Mo. I wonder if your skill is weak or Ye Mo’s strength is too formidable."
Chen Yin smiled as she spoke.
Chen Yin’s words carried dual meanings. If Zhu Peng believed Ye Mo lacked the strength to enter the top ten thousand, that meant Ye Mo was just a regular Upper Immortal, yet a regular Upper Immortal could spar equally with Zhu Peng, an Immortal Class Second Layer Earth Tier older student. This indirectly suggested Zhu Peng’s skill was poor.
If Zhu Peng admitted his skill wasn’t weak, then Ye Mo failing to make the top ten thousand must have another reason.
"You... you just wait and see. Even if he manages to get into the top ten thousand, it won’t matter. To really make a name for himself, he’d have to break into the top hundred."
Zhu Peng became enraged.
"Let’s see, if he can contend with you, that shows he has the Immortal Class realm’s combat ability. I’ve heard there are over a thousand new students at the Immortal Class realm this year, so breaking into the top thousand may not be so hard."
Chen Yin couldn’t help but recall the scene earlier where Ye Mo used speed to overtake her and her brother. Both she and Chen Dachui are Martial Artists of the Third Layer of Immortal Class; thus, she believes Ye Mo’s strength can definitely make it into the top thousand.
While everyone watched the data changes, several intents exchanged in the void.
"At this rate, Ye Mo has no hope of entering the top ten."
"Master, although Ye Mo’s potential composite score far exceeds that of Zhou Han’s, in terms of cultivation talent, Ye Mo is far outclassed by Zhou Han. Remember, back then, Zhou Han not only ranked first in potential composite score but also took one of the top three spots in the new student challenge battle. His current strength is shockingly formidable, and only the Master might suppress him."
"Alas, had I not indulged him too much initially, he wouldn’t have developed such a proud and arrogant personality. I informed Master Bai Xuzi to meet Ye Mo and then deliberately refused, intending to test Ye Mo. However, seeing the current situation, there’s no need for testing, for fostering someone to rival Zhou Han on Ye Mo seems hopeless."
"Sigh, surpassing Zhou Han isn’t easy; otherwise, he couldn’t have dominated the Divine Realm rankings for so many years."
After their brief exchange of intents, they directly left the plaza; initially, they’d hoped to see Ye Mo’s performance since only Ye Mo’s exhibition would gain their attention. As for Tong Xiaotian, Dou Wei, etc., they couldn’t catch their interest.
Yet Ye Mo’s performance let them down; despite having potential, he lacked robust ability for challenges beyond his level, making it impossible to become an existence that could rival Zhou Han in a short time.
What they sought was someone who could compete against Zhou Han; otherwise, if things continued like this, the Divine Realm of the Immortal Martial Academy would end up completely under Zhou Han’s control, beyond even the Elder’s reach.
On the meteorite, Ye Mo still hadn’t prepared to start killing the Puppet Automatons. While communicating with Star Power, he sensed another kind of aura, which wasn’t from the Puppet Automatons nor the new students; it felt more like the life force on this meteorite.
"Is it possible there’s another life form on this meteorite?"
Ye Mo speculated, as the meteorite was akin to a smaller version of the Lingwu Continent, though the conditions weren’t as favorable, other life forms might still exist.
"There should be other life forms, and it seems the academy is unaware. If this life form proves strong, it could potentially interrupt the ranking battle itself."
Dragon Glarax remarked.
"The academy’s choice of challenge location was rather careless."
Ye Mo couldn’t help but shake his head, then glancing at Ling Shan beside him, he showed a slight smile, it seemed Ling Shan had finally mastered the communication with Star Power, and now they could begin the slaughter.
