"Qinghong, take our little guys to the villa."

Tiger Girl's golden eyes lit up with the thought of ice cream as soon as she heard the word "villa." She charged ahead, leading the group of twenty, as if she were the victor.

Meanwhile.

The stands of the Beast Fighting Arena.

The crowd scattered like ants, entering their originally cozy suites, picking up their luggage, and following their mentor to the Training Area.

"Ah, we have to stay in a communal dormitory..."

"A communal dorm isn't bad, it's not a big deal... It's said that once we enter the Contaminated Area, we might not sleep for half a month. It's good to adapt early."

"In any case... sigh."

"However, getting the talisman and staying in a communal dorm for half a year is quite satisfying. My Qi Blood Value increases by 100 points every day, which would normally only be about 36,000 points a year. But now... 82,000 points a year!"

"I can quickly become stronger!"

"Hehehe, I'm a little behind you."

"Huo Yuan and his tier of super talents can increase by 100,000 points a year! They can directly leap over the Hill Realm into the Mountain Realm. A year later, their Qi Blood Value might reach 200,000 points!"

"It's terrifying. The gap is going to become incredibly wide."

"The strong get stronger."

"Who knows what Xu Ran's strength will be a year from now."

"All I know is that his talisman is truly a divine artifact."

"Isn't his combat power divine too?"

"Of course it is, but I can't enjoy it. The benefits of the talisman are very tangible, hehe."

The crowd buzzed.

They entered another side of the forest at Qiyun Mountain.

The vast forest will be the students' hunting ground in the future.

The assessment three months later will eliminate everyone but 210 super talents. Of course, elimination will depend not only on combat power but also on comprehensive consideration.

Those good at fighting need to be core.

There is an assessment system for those proficient in the Shield Element and healing, ensuring no talent will be buried.

Students moved into the Training Forest.

…

The principals gathered in the office for a meeting.

"Does Xu Ran even need to participate in the selection competition?"

"Isn't it just bullying with how strong he is?"

"I second that!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

Principal Cheng Qi jumped up: "What is it? Isn't he eight years old?"

"No, we're saying we should just give him the championship. No one can beat him with his full resurrection method, who can match him?"

"Indeed, he's already the champion. This is undoubtedly the first time in 150 years that a champion is unanimously recognized at the start."

The principals there had sharp eyes.

Even Xu Ran himself couldn't block that Sword Technique.

Send their students to block it?

Their students don't have resurrection methods!

Besides.

Just the final technique where the gray boy's skills were broken, placed on other students, they'd return severely injured.

"Really, shouldn't let him participate in the competition, okay? It's fine if he holds back, but if he accidentally doesn't, our students might be beaten to death."

Are the principals afraid of him taking the championship?

They're not afraid.

They're afraid Xu Ran is too fierce.

Principal Cheng Qi: "You make a valid point. But the championship honor must be awarded. How about we award it tomorrow?"

The principals looked at each other.

"That's fine. Anyway, Xu Ran's strength has already broken all boundaries. Ask the other talents this afternoon if anyone objects. If no one does, then award him the championship directly."

The principals had come to accept it.

Getting the talisman in the first place was great news. Previously, a super talent could increase their Qi Blood Value by over 30,000 a year, now they could increase by 80,000, and those who increased 40,000 now exceeded 100,000.

This is thanks to Xu Ran. You shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you.

Besides, given Xu Ran's terrifying combat power, there's no need to compete. Being crushed could affect their confidence.

Given that, it's better to let this shark Xu Ran leave first.

Having him teach as a mentor would be great!

Principal Cheng Qi was overjoyed, wearing a reluctant expression before he agreed enthusiastically: "Fine, fine. We'll do what you say."

The fastest champion in history.

Who else?!

Who——else——?!

This is far more impressive than winning the championship 200 days later!

For the first time in 150 years!

Hahahahaha, champagne's running late!

Originally planned to pop the champagne halfway through, but... who would've thought Xu Ran was so fierce.

The principal's mouth curled up wildly.

The meeting ended.

The principals hurried to distribute talismans, not wanting to delay a moment.

When three talismans were pasted on their backs.

The entire residential area echoed with cries of atavistic screams.

"Aooooo——"

"Wah wa wah——"

"Hoo hoo hoo——"

Many super talents jumped and roared, just like students shouting and making a fuss in the dormitory.

"Awesome! Feels amazing!"

"This——is the cultivation speed of the first-tier talents?"

"I feel like I can fly to the sky!"

"Does this make me a first-tier talent too? My cultivation speed is so fast!"

"Compared to the previous first tier, but now even the first tier has doubled, so your rank remains unchanged."

"But compared to other super talents in history, we're definitely the lucky ones."

"Thanks to my brother Ran!"

…

"What are they yelling about?"

Villa area.

Tiger Girl had already finished a piece of chilled strawberry cake.

Licked the platter clean.

She got up, her golden eyes sparkling, and opened the fridge again: "There are twenty-three, I ate one, everyone in the kindergarten gets one, and I still have two left."

"Come on, everyone take one, don't you want to eat? If not, it'll end up in my belly!"

"I've had enough with six pieces, you all share one each. No objections, right?"

Everyone looked at each other: "No objections."

They're all kids, and what kid doesn't like cake and sweets?

But in front of Tiger Girl, they felt a bit intimidated.

Xu Ran glanced over: "You're only having three pieces?"

Tiger Girl blinked: "I can't take them all, even if I want to. But I can't do that."

Xu Ran couldn't help but laugh: "You really thought about it that way?"

Tiger Girl picked up a piece of blueberry cake, plopped down next to Xu Ran, and responded between big bites.

"For a moment."

"But, the fridge will be restocked every day, right?"

Xu Ran gave her a sidelong glance: "It should be."

Tiger Girl's face filled with satisfaction: "That's great! Thanks to brother Ran for winning the fridge for me."

Xu Ran corrected her: "I won the villa."

Tiger Girl: "The most important thing is the fridge."

Saying that, she got up again and took a brand new piece of cake.

Xu Ran smiled faintly: "You can have my share too."

Soon after.

Two pieces of cake later, Tiger Girl was thoroughly satisfied, her stomach slightly bulging.

"This is great. I feel motivated to cultivate."

Tiger Girl leaned on Xu Ran's shoulder, laughing softly.

Xu Ran: "Not eating the remaining two pieces?"

Tiger Girl sat up straight, her face serious: "Saving them for tonight. I'm no longer that little girl I used to be, I've learned to enjoy life. Two pieces now, two pieces tonight, that's happiness."

"Happiness is in the little things."

Xu Ran beamed: "You're becoming quite the gourmet, you even understand some philosophy."

Tiger Girl raised her head proudly: "That I am."

Xu Ran gave Tiger Girl a sidelong glance.

"Alright, everyone choose a room. Each room has a bedroom and a bathroom. But the living room is shared, so keep it clean. We'll likely be living here for the next half year."

Xu Ran's words finished.

He picked up his suitcase and chose a room.

The others quickly moved in.

Soon after.

The principal walked in.

"Ran, I have something to tell you."

Xu Ran was surprised: "What is it."

Principal: "Based on the unanimous proposal of the principals, you should just take the championship. We'll ask this afternoon if any other super talents object, if they all agree, then you're the 49th champion."

"And you'll be the mentor for these 200 days, picking your teammates, with the right to choose. Of course, the chosen teammates must also agree."

Hearing the principal's words.

Xu Ran's eyebrows raised slightly.

Directly the champion?

If it turns out that way... then could he achieve the Golden Achievement [Young Venerable] 200 days early????

That is to say.

Could he draw the Root Bone 200 days early?
