Transcendent Dawn - Chapter 529
Chapter 529: Chapter 0529: Ranking (Seeking Subscriptions)
Separation of liberal arts and martial studies!
This is a worldwide education reform.
Because not only do professionals need to face many dangers, but they also have to fight with themselves and confront curses, without a firm heart, it’s easy to lose control.
Moreover, the world’s changes also require more warriors, even ordinary people need to master combat and other abilities.
Therefore, the martial arts college entrance examination was born.
Once you pass the exam, the future is incredibly bright, and there’s even the chance to enter the ‘Transcendent’!
In the classroom.
Bai Ling was flipping through her textbook out of boredom.
“Bai Ling!”
The next moment, a cold voice came, causing Bai Ling to stand up unconsciously:”Here!”
“Recite the history of the new century, this is a crucial point, and it will be tested in the college entrance exam.”
A female teacher with quite the headteacher’s temperament raised her glasses, clearly spotting Bai Ling daydreaming earlier.
“Yes!”
Bai Ling thought for a moment before she began to recite:”Nineteen years ago, the Giant’s life ‘Ancient God’ descended on Blue Star, and the power of the Transcendent began to reawaken. Fusang referred to it as ‘The Era of God’, while the West called it the ‘New God Calender’. After a United Nations resolution, it was universally adopted as the ‘New Century’. In the first year of the New Century, the Ancient God descended. In the second year of the New Century, after the Third Spirit Tide descended, Forest Monsters were rampant, forming a Beast Tide, causing great harm. Fortunately, the high-level professionals of the time stepped forward to block the Beast King, and many touching figures emerged…”
“In the fifth and fifteenth years of the New Century, the Fourth Spirit Tide and Fifth Spirit Tide descended. Sea Beasts became a disaster, and the Forest Monsters made a strong comeback…Seaborne traffic was once cut off, and the struggle between humans and sea monsters became the mainstream of the world. At the most dangerous moment, the Sea Beast Emperor and the Forest Emperor appeared. Bai Jing, the number one human being at the time, known as ‘Spirit King’, stepped forward to slay the two Beast Emperors, and from then on, he was hailed as the world’s strongest person, topping the world’s martial artist ranking.”
“Very good, sit down!”
The female teacher nodded, her voice serious:”Students…the sea monsters have a uniquely advantageous position and have never been exterminated, and the forest monsters still occasionally rebound. You are all martial art students, the country needs you. Please study hard, don’t let me catch you daydreaming in class again.”
Ding dong!
The bell signaling the end of class rings.
Seeing the rigid teacher leaving, Bai Ling exhaled a long breath and laid on her desk:”It’s so annoying, why do martial students have to take theoretical classes?”
“We’re already a lot more fortunate compared to those liberal arts students.”
Mi Jiaying cheerfully said at the side:”We are the warriors who charge at the frontlines, and they are our logistical support. Looking at that teacher, it seems that she wishes they knew everything, relentlessly stuffing them with all the college-level knowledge.”
“Because the current human race has a strong sense of crisis. After all, the ocean is vast, it’s difficult to exterminate the monsters in the deep sea…”
A young boy beside them joined in the discussion:”And…they possess wisdom, they understand learning, and even have the tendency to build forces…Otherwise, why would the country initiate the Moon Base Project?”
“Really? A fallback? I wouldn’t say so. We still have top martial artist like the Spirit King and the Thunder God…”
Bai Ling, along with Mi Jiaying, both shook their heads.
“It’s better to be safe than sorry…” The young boy said:”With many hands, it does no harm. Who knows how many monsters are hidden in the sea.”
“Who says? The Spirit King is the best!” Bai Ling grumbled.
“Haha, I knew you’re a die-hard fan of Spirit King! I’m sure you’ll apply to East City Mystery College in the future.” The young boy laughed.
“Li Lv, what about you?”
Mi Jiaying asked.
“The East City Mystery College, though it has the world’s strongest defender and is built in the Secret Realm, has shown a decline in recent years and has gradually been caught up by other universities. I want to go to Cultivator’s College – Mountain and Sea University. Its founder, ‘Earth Immortal’ Han Fan, also came from the East City Mystery College. He innovatively proposed the concepts of ‘part-time’ and ‘job-switching’, and integrated the world’s two most widespread factions, creating the professional legacy of the [Cultivator]. Now he’s a Fifth-level [Earth Immortal], I also want to ride the wind and command the sword, coming and going in the blue sky.”
Li Lv didn’t hide his longing at all.
“Huh…Traitor!”
Bai Ling muttered softly.
“Hey hey…Back then, Han Fan had already fulfilled his contract and voluntarily left the East City Mystery College. The Spirit King didn’t say anything, how could you call him a traitor? A school is not a sect…Although we’re friends, if you bad-mouth my idol again, be careful I might argue with you.”
Li Lv defended his stance.
“Anyway…Anyway, it’s very bad.” Bai Ling pouted.
“We all can’t deny the contribution of the East City Mystery College to professional development, but it’s too old and too conservative. In today’s fast-developing professional system, a blind adherence to tradition will inevitably make it lag behind the times…”
A young man nearby interjected: “However, it truly is the holy land for professionals…It has nurtured countless powerhouses. Now, nearly half of the top hundred in the world’s martial artist ranking are from this college, including the powerhouses such as ‘Earth Immortal’ Han Fan and ‘Grand Magician’ Gill.”
“Huh? The latest ranking has just been updated!”
At this moment, a classmate who was scrolling through his phone suddenly blurted out.
“What? What? Let me see!”
Suddenly, all students’ attention was drawn to it.
“Wow…’Spirit King’ has actually been pushed down to the second spot.”
A surprised exclaim came.
“What? Let me see!”
Bai Ling squeezed in and read the screen:
“Breaking news – The Ocean Beast Emperor ‘Thousand-toothed Landshark’, ‘Heavenly Armored Octopus’, ‘Six-headed Sea Serpent’ have attacked America. The then-world number two, Fifth-level professional, ‘Thunder God’, singlehandedly went to fend them off. Within a few strikes, he slew the Beast Emperor near the shore, causing the seawater to turn red. The world’s martial artist ranking has updated the Thunder God to number one according to his battle achievement! Released update!”
“The world’s number one, ‘Thunder God’ Tony! Combat achievements:….”
“Number two, ‘Spirit King’ Bai Jing, The Principal of East City Mystery College! Combat achievements:….”
“Number three, ‘Earth Immortal’ Han Fan, The Principal of Mountain and Sea University! Combat achievements:….”
…
“Number ten, ‘Grand Magician’ Gill, the Principal of the England Royal Magic Academy! Combat achievements:….”
…
“Number twenty-four, ‘Martial King’ Wang Chaoqun!”
“Number forty-six, ‘Telekineticist’ Zi!”
“Number fifty-nine, ‘Food God’ Liu Xiaodang!”
…
“Number ninety-eight, ‘Hunting King’ Liu Xing!”
“They are the backbone of mankind, the hope of the world!”
Even the most rebellious rebel couldn’t help but show a look of admiration when seeing these names.
Only Bai Ling was secretly upset: “They dare to belittle my uncle, I’m so pissed!”
