really just cured her of a disease."He briefly and concisely explained the situation again, emphasizing that there was nothing between him and Hu YaoYao before. He couldn't possibly take the blame fo...Yuwenshu said: "Your Highness, that day the Feng Empire was the weakest of the thirty-six empires. If it weren't for its small territory and extreme poverty, it would have probably been destroyed long ago."

Their team in the competition was also always at the bottom, weak to the core. How could someone so weak ever be worthy of being the prince's opponent

"For someone from the Tianfeng Empire, for His Royal Highness to personally take action against him would be like slapping gold on his face."

This man was able to become Tubaliang's chief bodyguard. When he spoke, he was extremely tactful. He could express his own opinions while making the prince feel very satisfied.

Tuoba Yang frowned. "You mean I shouldn't have taken action against that boy"

"Anyone with the surname Ye is not worthy of being dealt with by His Royal Highness," Yuwen Shu said, "Your Highness, think about it, once you take action against that person with the surname Ye, you will immediately lower your status and will probably be ridiculed by those around the second prince."

"In this case, it's better to just have the smaller ones arrange things and have those from Lingxiao Academy take care of him."

Yu Wen Shu's words calmed some of Tuo Ba Yang's anger: "Alright then, we'll do it your way and have the Ling Xiao Academy participate in the new student ranking competition."

But after the competition is over, I'm going to skin him alive. Otherwise, my hatred won't be quelled.

"Your Highness is wise, I shall take care of this matter."

After Yuwen Shu finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

"Honestly, that's such a hassle. I say just hack the kid to pieces and be done with it," Tuo Batian said with a sneer.

Tuoba Yang said with a gloomy expression: "It's not that my father is partial. If he had made me the Crown Prince earlier, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."

Tuoba Shuang said, "Big brother, rest assured. In our Dading Empire, the strong are respected, and everything depends on strength."

As long as you can win this newcomer's ranking match, I believe your father will definitely make you the crown prince.

Tuo Ba Yang clenched his fists, "This first place this time is mine, no one can take it away."

The efficiency of the Ju Bao Ge was indeed high. The next morning, Luo Yudie arranged for people to deliver Ye Bufan's customized battle robes. After everyone donned their new attire, they all headed towards the Royal Training Ground in the Great Xing Empire.

The entire Kunlun Continent values strength above all else. Events like the newcomer ranking tournament are common knowledge. Today is the opening day of the competition, and the capital city of the Tianfeng Empire is deserted with everyone gathered to watch.

Countless people gathered outside the royal training ground, those with tickets entered to watch the spectacle, while those without tickets jostled in the crowd outside just to be part of the excitement.

At this moment, six duel platforms have already been set up in the schoolyard.

Each one is circular, with a diameter of about thirty meters. The surrounding area is filled with the fluctuations of an array formation, obviously all enhanced by an array formation.

The Daxing Empire has been hosting newcomer ranking tournaments for many years, and is already quite experienced in this area.

Thirty-seven seats were set up around the sword testing platform, with the tallest one being a viewing stand reserved for the imperial family and the officiating hall.

The other thirty-six were reserved for the participating empires, and in front of each seat there stood a plaque bearing the name of the empire it belonged to.

Outside these seats were the audience seats, with a capacity of one hundred thousand.

The entire Daxing Empire had a population in the millions, and those who were eligible to watch the competition here in person were either princes, nobles, wealthy merchants, or cultivators.

Ye Bufan and others entered the Royal School Grounds and found their own seats according to the seating standards.

The Tianfeng Empire was the weakest in terms of strength, so their assigned position was naturally the worst. They were the furthest from the Imperial viewing stand of the Daxing Empire and located at the very end of the seating arrangement.

Ye Bufan didn't mind these things, he sat down with everyone in their own place.

No matter where you sit, no matter what anyone thinks, the crown of this newcomer ranking tournament is yours.

Jiang Fangzhou was incredibly excited. Although she had sat down, she still couldn't control herself and danced with her hands and feet.

"Elder Brother Ye, I never thought that one day I could participate in the newcomer ranking match. Until now, I still feel like I'm dreaming."

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! Little Qing, Grandma, please let go!"

He was grabbed by Xiaqing's arm, feeling his bones being crushed. He cried out in pain repeatedly.

"Now you know it wasn't a dream, was it"

Xiaqing curled her lips, a look of disdain on her face. “Isn’t it just participating in such a low-level competition There’s nothing to be excited about, you’re so immature.”

Jiang Fangzhou rubbed his swollen arm, he dared not have any complaints about Xiaoqing. This eighth-order demon beast that had lived for tens of thousands of years was someone nobody could afford to provoke except the boss.

"Okay, stop fooling around, the competition has already begun."

Ye Bufan glanced at Xiao Qing, "There are several strong cultivators of the Dongxu period here. Don't expose your aura."

"Aren't they just a few Void Opening early stage cultivators This old lady can slap them to death with one hand."

Xiaqing muttered something under her breath, then collected herself, picked up the game console and started playing Tetris again.

"Silence!"

At that moment, a cold and somewhat sharp voice rang out. Then, with a flash of movement, Zhang He appeared directly above the Jiantai.

As a powerhouse of the Void Realm, he emanated an invisible pressure that permeated the entire venue upon his arrival, even without any intentional effort.

Suddenly, the vast royal schoolyard fell silent. Everyone clamped their mouths shut.

Especially those cultivators, facing a powerhouse at the Void-Returning Stage, almost all held their breaths.

"Speaking on behalf of the Grand Imperial Household, I Zhang He, the Overseer of the Imperial Palace in the Great Xing Empire, have the honor to welcome all heroes and young talents from across the land. His Majesty entrusted me with this task to extend a warm greeting to each and every one of you..."

Chu Lingxi whispered in Hu Yaoyao's ear: "Senior sister, why are eunuchs' cultivation levels so high"

In the Tianfeng Empire, Zheng, the chief steward, was the foremost master. However, in the Daxing Empire, Zhang, the chief steward, possessed even greater cultivation.

"Because they are focused solely on cultivation, all they need to do is practice." After saying that, she glanced at Ye Bufan with a mischievous smile. "Brother Ye, if you only want to be with me, I guarantee your cultivation will improve faster."

"Who are you Xiaofan is my man, what does it have to do with you"

Lu Xue Man reached out and grasped Ye Bu Fan's arm, glaring at him angrily.

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan had a black line on his forehead. It seems the saying "three women in a play" is true. He never thought that they could even connect him to a eunuch.

"Okay, all of you, keep your voices down. Director Zhang is a powerhouse at the Void-Dwelling stage. If he hears you, you're in big trouble."

At this point, Zhang had finished his pleasantries and abruptly raised his voice, making sure each person heard him clearly.

"This new ranking tournament is witnessed personally by His Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Xing Empire. I, along with elders from the three major Sects, serve as the Grand Overseers. I believe no one would question our qualifications and authority."

After he finished speaking, Zhongli Mei, Qin Biyao, and Lei Heng all rose into the air. They bowed to everyone in mid-air.

The cultivators in the audience were immediately astonished. Tianshui Pavilion, Leiyunzong, and Shenjian Mountain Villa are the three major eight-star sects in Tianluozhou Continent. These three elders are powerhouses of the Dongxu realm, idols worshipped by countless people.

"Alright, everyone be quiet."

Zhang clasped his hands together and pressed them down towards the void. The entire schoolyard fell silent once more.

I announce that the new player ranked match officially begins, and below I will announce the rewards for this competition!nd she also has a magic artifact that shields her aura."Qin Biyao revealed a charming smile: "Keep watching, perhaps that little guy will bring us more surprises."On the side of the Daxing Empire, Tuo...
