Chapter 99: Opening of the Strong Ranking Competition!

Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy respectively climbed to the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth positions, sparking a large discussion within the Inner Courtyard.

"Indeed, only monsters can gather together like monsters. They have only been in the Inner Courtyard for less than a year, yet they have already climbed to the middle of the strong ranking!"

"Their age is still young, even if their performance in this session is not satisfactory, they can still participate in the next session!"

"What are you thinking? Xiao Ze, that monster, is second on the strong ranking! Isn't this achievement satisfactory enough?"

Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy's appearance on the strong ranking sparked such a wide-ranging discussion within the Inner Courtyard.

In the final analysis, it was still because of the relationship between Xiao Xuner, the two people, and Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze's current ranking is still second on the strong ranking.

Such a ranking is enough to make ninety-nine percent of the students in the Inner Courtyard look up to him.

Anything related to Xiao Ze and his achievements would attract great attention.

"Speaking of which, besides their own talents, they should also have received Xiao Ze's help."

"I seem to have seen Xiao Ze running to the Alchemy Department often during this period of time. Did Xiao Ze use his connections to find someone to help refine pills in the Alchemy Department?"

At this moment, a passing student from the Alchemy Department, with a strange expression, glanced at the student who made the comment.

"Cough... Don't you know that Xiao Ze is already a student of the Alchemy Department?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone's gaze immediately turned to him, greatly satisfying his vanity.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Ze's Earthly Grade Dou Skills are known throughout the academy to be water attribute. How could he possibly become a fire attribute alchemist?"

The student who spoke first refuted vigorously.

The student from the Alchemy Department rolled his eyes.

"Don't take ignorance as truth! Xiao Ze's alchemy skills are unmatched even by the instructors in the Alchemy Department!"

"According to what he said, he obtained an alchemist inheritance while exploring outside and took a Transforming Spirit Pill that can give one the talent of an alchemist!"

"In addition to the alchemist inheritance, almost overnight, he reached the pinnacle of alchemy, comparable to those veteran alchemists who have been immersed in alchemy for decades!"

After listening to the words of the student from the Alchemy Department, everyone was so astonished that they couldn't speak, their eyes widened.

It's hard to imagine that such a thing could happen.

A Transforming Spirit Pill that can give one the talent of an alchemist...

Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of yearning.

If they could get such an opportunity themselves, they could become noble alchemists and become the cream of the crop!

Looking at it this way, Xiao Ze has indeed reached the top!

For a while, Xiao Ze became the object of envy and jealousy for everyone.

When countless people were alone, they couldn't help but beat their chests and feet, sighing.

They cursed the heavens for why they didn't have such an opportunity!

And after this matter spread, it actually sparked a passion among the Inner Courtyard students to venture into the deep mountains, setting off a wave of exploration.

Many students who had no chance of reaching the strong ranking always wanted to gain opportunities like Xiao Ze did during their explorations, reaching the top in one step.

This unexpected wave of exploration did not affect the intense atmosphere of the strong ranking competition.

After all, more people still believed in their own strength.

Many students who had been in seclusion before began to challenge the strong ones after breaking through.

A large number of dark horses emerged in this fierce competition, vying for the entry tickets to the strong ranking competition.

The top twenty on the strong ranking didn't change much.

But the bottom thirty were almost completely replaced by emerging dark horses.

If compared with the strong ranking half a year ago, it would be astonishing to find out.

Among the bottom thirty, there was no longer any familiar name.

These students who had been silently practicing day after day finally showed their brilliance at this moment.

Their silent efforts finally shone brightly at this moment!

And the most unique among them were the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth positions!

Although the two positions were occupied by two freshmen, few dared to challenge them.

Not only because the two had the second strongest backing behind them.

But also because when Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy defeated the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth positions, they did so in a crushing manner!

There were also some students who were unwilling to give up and tried to challenge Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy, but they were all decisively defeated.

After experiencing this two or three times, no one dared to challenge Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy again.

Because they knew that the strength of these two people was definitely not just their current rankings!

This grand "preliminary round" of the Inner Courtyard Competition came to an end with the ringing of the morning bell.

Countless students who had been cultivating opened their eyes, listening to the melodious sound of the bell, their hearts surging.

The strong ranking competition is today!

As the most prestigious event in the entire Canaan Academy, the strong ranking competition is held once every five years.

Countless strong individuals strive for it, just to achieve an excellent ranking in the strong ranking competition.

Its prestige is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

As long as one can enter the top ten of the strong ranking competition, they can obtain the reward of the Origin Heart Flame Tempering Body.

Successfully enduring the tempering of the Origin Heart Flame almost guarantees a pass to the Dou King realm.

It is precisely because of this level of reward that those peak Dou Ling strong ones are willing to apply for a two-year stay in the academy to continue participating in the Inner Courtyard strong ranking competition.

Breaking through to the Dou King realm is extremely difficult, and many people even get stuck at the peak of Dou Ling for a lifetime.

It can be imagined how difficult it is to break through to the Dou King realm.

All the students in the Inner Courtyard gathered at the central square.

This place is only open when the strong ranking competition is held.

The last time it was opened, I don't know how Lei Jia persuaded the academy to let Xiao Ze fight him in the central square.

Nearly a thousand students from the Inner Courtyard gathered in the central square.

It made the usually unused central square feel crowded.

Countless students gathered here, discussing incessantly.

As more and more strong ones appeared, the discussion became more and more intense.

Finally, when Xiao Ze and the others appeared, the discussion in the entire square reached its peak!

The noisy sound soared into the sky, unimaginable that this was only the sound made by nearly a thousand people!

Amidst the noisy sound, Lei Jia, with silver hair, walked over.

He looked up and down at Xiao Ze. Seeing that Xiao Ze's breath was restrained and he couldn't see through his details, he directly asked, "You should be at the peak of Dou Ling now, right?"

"More or less."

Xiao Ze nodded. After all, he had accumulated his foundation for a long time, so he should be stronger than the peak of Dou Ling.

Using the words from the original work, it's equivalent to having one foot stepped into the Dou King realm.

"It's really an exaggerated speed of cultivation. In less than a year since entering the Inner Courtyard, you have already reached the peak of Dou Ling!"

Lei Jia shook his head, feeling a bit sighed.

On the other side, Lin Lieyang, who was extremely tall, also walked over. The two of them were once defeated by Xiao Ze, so they had some kind of tacit understanding.

"Xiao Ze, if we meet again in the competition, I will do my best. I want to fight you again!"

Lin Lieyang muttered and then turned and left.

"Hey, this guy said what I wanted to say!" Lei Jia said irritably.

Xiao Ze smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."
