When they came to gather in front of the battle platform in the square, almost all the freshmen came at this time, and there were more than 200 people, all lined up in a queue. The five of them lined up at the back of the queue.

After a while, Law Enforcement Elder Xia Jiang walked towards the battle platform with a serious face, as if his face was always serious, followed by several elders, who were smiling and proud.

"Everyone, be quiet. A deep voice came out, and several people led by Xia Jiang came to the battle platform and said.

Suddenly, the originally noisy scene became quiet.

"Uh-he!" A hint of satisfaction flashed on Xia Jiang's face, then he coughed and said slowly: "Freshmen, it will take a month for the vice dean to retreat, so I will preside over today's assessment competition." It's been a year since you came to the academy, and some of you have improved your realm by three or four levels through your own efforts and continuous training in the past year, while others have only improved by one level. First of all, let me explain, this is your final exam for this academic year, the top three will represent the academy to participate in the strongest competition in the empire, and the rest, you can arrange your vacation in advance, whether to go to the Mist Alliance with your classmates to fight with cold-blooded and powerful soul beasts to get the opportunity to practice, or stay in the dormitory and live the life of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha to continue to cultivate, or go back to the place where you grew up before, to enjoy the glory that the academy brought you, and lie down in the sound of praise and sink, all of this is up to you. But keep in mind that when you choose, you have to bear the consequences of your choice. ”

Yang Xiaotian listened carefully to the message of law enforcement elder Xia Jiang to the new students, and his paranoid opinion of him in his heart also changed slightly, and he instantly felt that he had gained a lot, opportunities were equal in front of everyone, and we had the opportunity to choose any of these lifestyles, but we had to suffer the consequences of this, good or bad. He thought of the message that Lord Hanshan had said to them at the beginning, they were like a blank piece of paper, they could write and write on it to their heart's content, but then they had to take responsibility for themselves, and now that a year had passed, what had been drawn on his blank paper?

No, this is not the end, it is just a beginning, he needs to continue to work hard to cultivate, break through his own limits, and become a real powerhouse, just like his father, with great love.

"Our competition is divided into two schedules, the hard power competition and the challenge competition, of which the hard power competition is first divided into different groups according to the realm, and then the soul power competition is carried out to determine the preliminary ranking, hard power can only discharge the strength that seems to be, taking into account the needs of actual combat, followed by the second schedule challenge, by the students who are dissatisfied with their rankings to challenge anyone in front of them, win, their rankings are reversed, and if they lose, they will maintain the original ranking, but a person can only have one chance to challenge upward, knowing that until the defeat, the challenge opportunity is from the last place to the first place。 At this time, a senior brother announced the rules of the competition in his loud voice, and this person was the professional host who presided over the previous events of the college. "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" replied in unison.

"Next, the first schedule of the hard power competition begins, please go to the corresponding area according to your own realm and wait, and then conduct a soul power test. The loud voice sounded again, and suddenly there were different senior brothers on the four sides of the battle platform shouting: "The soul elder realm level is here." ”

"The second-level Soul Elder Realm is here. ”

......

So everyone went to the corresponding area to wait according to their own realm, among which the first level of the Soul Growth Realm and the second level of the Soul Growth Realm had the most people, and there were only a few people in the third level of the Soul Growth Realm, and the fourth level of the Soul Growth Realm stood there alone for Qiye, enjoying the envious eyes of everyone alone, but there was no expression on his face, as if this was a normal thing, this was the unique character that Qiye was born with, and his goal was far more than the top three here.

"Oh, I heard that there is a king of leapfrogging among your freshmen, who once challenged the Fuyun of the Royal Academy's Soul Growth Realm martial arts with the strength of the second level of the Soul Growth Realm, and he still won, where is he?" Suddenly, Xia Jiang, the law enforcement elder who was on the battle platform, stepped forward and said in his deep and penetrating voice.

In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted to Yang Xiaotian in the third-level area of the Soul Growth Realm.

"Hey, I'm calling you!" the fat man pushed Yang Xiaotian beside him with his hand.

"You are the king of the leapfrogging Yang Xiaotian. Law Enforcement Elder Xia Jiang flashed a very rare smile of relief on his serious face, and his eyes followed everyone's gaze to look at Yang Xiaotian who was at a loss, his eyes were full of love. Perhaps this is the truest expression of an elder to a gifted student.

"In view of Yang Xiaotian's previous actual performance, I propose that he directly leapfrog the hard power competition and win the first place. Do you have any opinions?" continued law enforcement elder Xia Jiang.

"No opinion!" Everyone seems to have already tacitly acquiesced in their hearts that he is the first candidate, and now that they have no opinion on the nomination of the law enforcement elder, even if there are one or two people who are not convinced, they can still challenge it in the next challenge!

So Yang Xiaotian walked from the third-level area of the Soul Growth Realm to a no-man's area next to him.

Everyone cast envious eyes at him again, and said in their hearts, Yang Xiaotian is worthy of this glory. In fact, this first place is not so easy to deserve, and when it comes to the challenge later, theoretically he has to accept the challenge of two hundred freshmen, and people who have no real strength are also on pins and needles in that position, but he, our king of leapfrogging, can definitely take on it.

An hour later, the results of the soul power competition came out, Qiye lived up to expectations and won the first place, the third place was the fat man, and Dashan and Feng Yu were the fourth and fifth respectively, plus Yang Xiaotian, who was set as the first place, everyone's rankings had to move back one place, so the hard power ranking was Yang Xiaotian, Qiye, a classmate, fat man, Dashan, Feng Yu......

And in the next challenge, after a day of fierce battles, until the evening, it was not over, and the final ranking was finalized, the law enforcement elder took a list and said: "Everyone's efforts for a year are reflected in this report card, whether you are working hard or because of talent, all the results are gathered on this page, from today onwards, most of the freshmen will start the summer vacation mode, or tell you, the deceased is like this, reluctant day and night!" Then read the top 10 of the list, and then posted the ranking list on the railing above the platform, so that the students behind could see the results.

"Oh, yes, it's a holiday. The crowd jumped up and cheered for joy.

The fat man and the mountain also cheered involuntarily.

And Yang Xiaotian and Qiye's faces were calm, as if this result had been expected by them, and they seemed to be thinking about what preparations to make for the next strongest competition in the empire.

Seeing this, Qiye glanced at the fat man beside him with disgust, and said coldly: "You are the third place, and you still have to participate in the competition!"

Qiye's words were like a basin of cold water poured on the fat man's head, and his excitement brought by the holiday was drenched, only to see him respond with a disgraced face, and said, "Oh!"

Yang Xiaotian came to Sister A's side on the side, gently touched her disappointed but pretty face, and comforted her with a smile: "What do you want? Sister, I'm disappointed that I didn't get the top three." ”

Feng Yu was awakened by Yang Xiaotian's sudden touch on his face, only to see her fist hit Yang Xiaotian and scolded: "It's not big or small! Dare to tease your sister." ”

"I just want to comfort you!" Yang Xiaotian flashed to the side and hurriedly explained.

"Do I want you to comfort me?" Feng Yu didn't appreciate it!

"People need the comfort of the mountains. The fat man smiled evilly.

"You're a fat man! A hint of shame flashed on Feng Yu's beautiful face, and he scolded at the fat man.

"Don't rush at me! Keep scolding Xiaotian! He didn't do anything today, he won the first place, and he is full of energy! Seven nights are the same, unlike me, as long as there is a challenge below, they will choose me. The fat man smiled bitterly.

"It's called deterrence. Qiye interjected and said.

"But fortunately, the five members of our Ant Alliance have won the top three qualifications. The fat man sighed for the hard-won third place and said.

In this way, the five of them talked and laughed along the way, heading towards Zhulin Yuan, at this time, Feng Yu didn't mind that he didn't win the top three, after all, the road of martial arts is slow, and there are mountain people outside the mountain, not to mention, the cultivation of martial arts is not just based on hard work, but also requires extraordinary talent. She knew herself

I've done my best, and there's nothing to regret. Thinking of this, I slowly began to feel relieved.

When they came to the courtyard along the bluestone path, a smell of food came to their nostrils, and the lights in the courtyard spread on the ground through the gaps in the courtyard gate, forming a bright line one by one, at this time everyone could feel a warm breath in the courtyard was waiting for them, and they perfectly won the top three today, which can be regarded as the first step to complete the original goal, so under the gaze of several people, Yang Xiaotian slowly pushed open the courtyard door.

What catches your eye is a warm picture. Under the bright light, Huang Ma prepared a table of wine and food, which was neatly placed on the stone table, and the two elders, Lan Ze and Li Mu, were also among them, smiling at them, just like parents waiting for their children to return from high school.

"Hurry up!" said Elder Lan Ze with a smile.

Yang Xiaotian stood in place, his eyes a little blurred, isn't this the family warmth that has always been buried in his heart? Maybe he felt it when he was a child, but now it is too long ago and he has long forgotten it.
