Today is the day of the newcomer competition.

It is already late morning, and after a tense morning of battles, the newcomer competition has entered its final stage. The matches from the early Unification Realm to the Unification Realm Peak have concluded, and now it's the last match of the Semi Divine Infant Realm.

Jiang Chen and Ouyang Ruoxue stood quietly beside several new Semi Divine Infant Realm students on the south side of the arena, watching the battle on stage.

Both of them are cultivators in the Divine Infant Realm, and since there are no new Divine Infant Realm students in this admission, they are merely here to make an appearance.

All the new students stood on the south side of the arena, while most of the older students were on the east and west sides. On the north side, there was a high platform where the elders of the academy sat. Jian Cangqiong and four others sat at the front, with twenty-four academy elders, the academy's Virtual Refinement Realm educators, and twenty core disciples below the platform.

Bang!

With a dull thud, a figure on the stage was knocked back by the opponent, landing at the edge of the arena.

"Bo Liancheng wins!"

The young man with sword-like eyebrows shouted.

The young man at the edge of the arena showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, stood up, and leaped off the stage.

"Not bad! This year's new students are quite impressive!"

Jian Cangqiong rose, looked at the new students on the south side of the arena, and spoke softly, "The top three in each realm, step onto the stage."

Although his voice was soft, it was accurately transmitted to the ears of all the new students.

"Wait a moment!"

A voice called out, and Bo Liancheng on the stage cupped his hands and saluted Jian Cangqiong: "Dean, I still wish to challenge."

"Oh? You are already the number one student among the Semi Divine Infant Realm. You still wish to challenge?"

Jian Cangqiong was slightly surprised, looking at Bo Liancheng.

"Who does he still want to challenge?"

"I don't know, is he thinking of challenging the older students?"

"Impossible, the older students are all Divine Infant Realm cultivators. A Semi Divine Infant Realm challenging the Divine Infant Realm is just asking for trouble."

The new students started to discuss among themselves.

Hmm?

At this moment, Jiang Chen felt a malicious gaze and turned to look under the northern platform.

Under the northern platform, Sun Zheqi had a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, looking mischievously at Jiang Chen.

"I wish to challenge a new Divine Infant Realm student."

Bo Liancheng spoke loudly.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, glanced at Bo Liancheng, and took a deep look at Sun Zheqi.

Is it starting now? So eager!

Does Elder Lu really want to embarrass my master that much? Why does he have to take control of the Southern Maniac Mountain?

"Challenging a Divine Infant Realm student?"

"No way? Is he going to challenge the new Divine Infant Realm students?!"

"Those two new students haven't even fought yet!"

"Didn't they already become disciples of the academy elders? What challenge are you talking about?"

"Bo Liancheng wants to make a big impression!"

The new and old students alike glanced at Bo Liancheng in surprise.

Jian Cangqiong smiled slightly, glanced at Jiang Chen and Ouyang Ruoxue, and gently reminded, "Bo Liancheng, although they are also new students, they have already reached the Divine Infant Realm. The gap between the Divine Infant Realm and the Semi Divine Infant Realm is like a chasm; it's not easily bridged in a cross-level challenge!"

"Dean, I know. I've heard that before joining the academy, one of the new students was accepted as a disciple by Elder Wine-crazed, one of the four great elders of the academy. I want to see the gap between us and, at the same time, assess Elder Wine-crazed's judgment, to see if I am worthy of being chosen by one of the great elders!"

Bo Liancheng spoke earnestly.

Jian Cangqiong's eyes showed a hint of surprise as he glanced at Hu Yiqiu next to him, then looked at the stern Lu Buping behind him.

"Dean, since the student wishes to challenge, and it's a lower realm challenging a higher realm, we have no reason to refuse! I find this student quite promising and was just considering taking him as a disciple. This is a good opportunity to test his quality with Elder Wine-crazed's disciple."

Lu Buping openly admitted, making it clear that he was behind this.

"Testing the quality with my disciple's hand is only going to slap you in the face."

Hu Yiqiu retorted unceremoniously, looking down at Jiang Chen on the south side of the arena: "Kid, don't be polite."

Lu Buping's eyes flashed with a gloomy look, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The other elders looked serious, not wanting to get involved in the two's conflict.

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly. Beating a Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivator without being polite—there's no room for politeness here!

Swoosh!

In a flash, Jiang Chen leaped onto the stage, calmly looking at Bo Liancheng.

All the students focused on the arena, eager to see where Bo Liancheng found the confidence to challenge a Divine Infant Realm cultivator.

"Senior Jiang, being accepted by Elder Wine-crazed as a disciple, you must have exceptional talent. However, there is a kind of talent called bloodline talent. I wonder if Senior Jiang has heard of it?"

Bo Liancheng looked at Jiang Chen with a smile and spoke softly.

"Bloodline talent?"

Jiang Chen's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"Bloodline talent? Does Bo Liancheng possess bloodline talent?"

"No wonder he dares to challenge a Divine Infant Realm cultivator. Is he about to break through?"

"This seems more complicated. I heard that Jiang Chen just broke through to the Divine Infant Realm and hasn't comprehended the Great Dao yet?"

"Shh! We shouldn't speak rashly about conflicts between big shots!"

The students whispered among themselves. Some older students, realizing something, glanced at Hu Yiqiu and Lu Buping on the platform and quietly warned their companions.

"Bloodline talent belongs only to those with the purest blood within specific family bloodlines. Those with such talent, upon breaking through to the Divine Infant Realm, can immediately comprehend the Great Dao contained within their bloodline."

The sword-eyebrowed young man above the arena, noticing Jiang Chen's confusion, explained softly.

This young man's name was Lei Kai, a disciple of Jian Cangqiong and a peak Divine Infant Realm cultivator.

"Thank you, Senior Lei Kai."

Jiang Chen thanked him, calmly looking at Bo Liancheng: "Your spiritual energy is on the verge; you should be about to break through, right? If so, you should break through first, and the other new students can be chosen by the elders. Don't waste time."

"Alright!"

Bo Liancheng answered softly, turned, and leaped off the stage.

Jiang Chen also leaped off the stage, returning to Ouyang Ruoxue's side.

Buzz!

A vast, ocean-like aura erupted suddenly from the edge of the arena. Just as Jiang Chen said, Bo Liancheng wasted no time; as soon as he leaped off the stage, he began to break through.

"Is he really about to break through? He planned this in advance!"

"Bo Liancheng is quite scheming; by doing this, the dean and elders have their eyes on him. Whether he succeeds in the challenge or not, the elders will remember him!"

"Elder Lu wants to give Elder Wine-crazed a blow. If Elder Wine-crazed's newly accepted disciple is defeated by a new student breaking through on the spot, it'll be embarrassing!"

"Elder Lu is ruthless with this move. Where did he find someone with bloodline talent?"

The students whispered among themselves.
