Chapter 462 – I said line you up

Du Shoushou had asked An Zheng about his favorite things, other than people. An Zheng replied that it was the sun, Du Shoushou asked why, and laughed without saying a word. In the end, Du Shoushou just foolishly stared at the sun for a while before tears started streaming down his face.

An Zheng asked Du Shoushou: “Do you know why I like the sun?”

Du Shoushou shook his head and said, he knew it was f * cking dazzling.

Yes, the light was always glaring.

When the first ray of sunlight entered the house through the gap in the window, An Zheng slowly opened his eyes. It was the beginning of a new day. He washed up and changed his clothes, tidied up everything, and then walked out of the room. However, An Zheng did not look the least bit nervous, even though he was already in the center of the storm. Here, Jinling was the base camp of the people who killed him back then.

He was very calm, and even had the mood to go to the cafeteria in the courtyard and eat breakfast. He even ate quite comfortably. After drinking two bowls of japonica porridge in succession, he actually got up and fished out a silver note from his sleeve, handing it to the canteen chef who was carrying the porridge. The chef looked at An Zheng in a daze. An Zheng left calmly. After he left, the other disciples in the cafeteria all started laughing loudly. They all said that An Zheng was a bumpkin, and they even tipped him after coming to the cafeteria to eat breakfast.

The chef initially felt that his character had been humiliated and wanted to burn the banknotes out of anger. However, after looking at the amount on the silver bill, he was stunned for a moment, and then, he kept it.

The courtyard was very big and the scenery was beautiful. This place was where all the young talents of the Jinling and even the entire Da Xi Empire gathered. Every single one of them had an extraordinary background or talent. People like An Zheng and Mu Ziping, who were killed by An Zheng, were actually the most unpopular little characters in the whole courtyard. They did not dare to provoke real geniuses, nor did they dare to provoke people from genuine families. They only dared to bully the disciples that came from the Second Courtyard.

Because of Daxi Shenghuang’s orders, there must be a certain number of people entering the first house from the second house every year. Therefore, the strength of the disciples from the two academies in this ratio would not be enough to contend against those from the first academy.

Sucerson was the target of bullying from a bastard like Mu Ziping. Actually, Mu Ziping and the others were very smart, the people they chose to attack were especially targeted. They either chose disciples who came from the outskirts of the Great Xixi and had certain conditions, but no one worked in the Imperial Court or the local officials, or they chose the weaker ones who were transferred from the Second Court.

They thought that An Zheng was their next target, but they never thought that An Zheng was their last target.

Walking along an especially wide road, An Zheng’s eyes did not see a single person. He was deep in thought, trying to set a goal for himself. The most beautiful scenery here was actually the female disciples that came and went. They were both proud daughters of heaven, and they were both very beautiful. They wore the most popular styles from this year and proudly walked past one by one. They knew that many people’s gazes would linger on them, but they did not loathe it. On the contrary, they were secretly pleased with themselves.

However, there were several women who were continuously angered by An Zheng’s disregarding attitude. An Zheng had clearly brushed past them, but had not paid any attention to them at all. This caused them to wonder if their makeup wasn’t beautiful enough, or if their clothes weren’t beautiful enough.

Da Xi was different from the State of Yan. Back then, in State of Yan, An Zheng had offended many people in order to give his the chance to enter the Martial Arts Academy. However, in Da Xi, as long as one had talent and power, no academy in any sect would reject a girl.

On the west side of the courtyard was a very wide open space, specially opened for the competition between disciples. The strength of the disciples of the school was often terrifying. If the place was small, the damage would be too great and it would not be satisfying.

Surrounding the empty ground, there was a barrier personally set up by the Headmaster Chen Yin. If they were to compete within this barrier, it would not destroy the buildings in the courtyard nor harm the onlookers. An Zheng had speculated on Chen Yin’s ability before. As the most famous academy principal of Da Xi, he was at least at the early stage of Lower Celestial Stage. For sucerson, a single person released could cause a small country to suffer a calamity.

There were three stone steles in the north of the open area. It was unknown what material these stone steles were made of. The color of the stone was different. The stone on the left was red, the stone on the right was gold, and the stone in the middle was purple. This was the Martial Force Ranking for the disciples of the academy, the Red Ranking, the Golden Ranking, and the Purple Ranking.

The competition between disciples was not forbidden in the academy. Therefore, many people who felt that they had the opportunity would issue a challenge to their targets. Among them, the one whose name changed the fastest was the Red List. There were very few people whose names could last for a day. The rankings were much more stable, and most of the time, there were changes to the names at the end of the rankings. And on the Purple Rankings, it had already been a month or so since there had last been any changes. As for the top five names on the Purple Rankings, it had already been half a year since they had changed.

An Zheng first walked to the Red List and looked at it. After pausing for a bit, he walked over to the Golden List. He didn’t know how to control these three stone tablets. After all, once the results of the competition came out, the order of names on the stone tablets would change.

The Golden Ranking was relatively stable. In the few minutes that An Zheng stood there, there was no change to his name. Before, An Zheng had come to the courtyard a few times, but he was not clear about the strength of the disciples there. Moreover, six or seven years had passed, and the current academy was perhaps even more different than the previous academy. Therefore, An Zheng decided to start from rank 10 on the Golden Ranking.

Not far from the three stone tablets, there waow of tables. A few middle-aged men wearing the academy uniform sat there chatting, looking rather relaxed. The sun, which had just risen not long ago, shone its rays on people, making them all look a little more beautiful than their real selves.

Logically, An Zheng should have gone to look for Fang Huo, waiting for Fang Xing to take him to arrange the classes. However, An Zheng had no interest at all in assigning classes. He was not here to attend school in the first place.

An Zheng walked in front of the people wearing the academy’s uniform, and very obediently bowed as he said, “Sir, may I ask, if you want to challenge the people on the three boards, what procedures or procedures do you need?”

A very good-natured woman glanced at An Zheng, and her eyes lit up: “What a beautiful young man, looking at you like that, you’re a new student? Young man, this sir would advise you to not act rashly if you are really a new disciple. You should go spectate the battle first to determine if you have the strength to challenge the experts of the three boards. I know that you newcomers are very positive and confident that you can occupy a place on the top three boards, but most of you are at a disadvantage. Some people waste months or even half a year recuperating because they were injured. ”

An Zheng knew that this was a sincere gesture of goodwill, so he cupped his fists and expressed his thanks, “This disciple thanks Sir for your concern. This disciple has indeed just entered the academy, but this disciple’s time is short.”

“Time is of the essence?”

The female instructor was startled for a bit, and then suddenly reacted. “You are the Du Shaobai that came from the Second Courtyard yesterday, right? You just came yesterday, the news about you has already spread around our academy. He said that he had challenged the experts of the three rankings of the two academies after entering the two academies yesterday, and his idiom was that he was running out of time. So I know who you are when you say that. However … Du Shaobai, there is one thing you should be clear about. This is the first courtyard, not the second courtyard. ”

An Zheng nodded his head: “Disciple understands.”

The female lecturer said, “I know it’s impossible to persuade someone with sucersonality. Therefore, since you intend to challenge the experts of the three boards, I will explain the rules to you. When you are in the Second Branch, you can pick anyone from the three rankings to challenge you as long as you think you can. However, they could not do so in the academy, because they had to respect every single disciple on the ranking board and their hard work. So if you want to challenge them, you need to start from the Red List. ”

An Zheng frowned slightly, and said to himself: “That would delay me for a lot of time.”

One of the male instructors changed his expression and said with disdain, “To be honest, I have seen a lot of young people like you. Every year, there will be many young people who came to challenge us, only to be beaten up in the first battle. Aerson, you should still know what modesty is. ”

An Zheng looked at him: “Thank you for your advice, Sir. If I wasn’t humble, I wouldn’t have considered starting from the Golden Ranking.”

The male instructor was stunned. “What did you say? You actually want to fight from the Golden Ranking? Ha ha-ha ha … Such arrogance, it’s rare to see someone as arrogant as you. Do you know that even the last ranked disciple on the Golden Ranking has the strength of at least the eighth stage of Captive Stage? ”

An Zheng: “Starting from the Red List is indeed a waste of time.”

The male instructor’s mouth was almost crooked from anger as he snorted and no longer paid attention to An Zheng: “Let him hit me, I don’t believe that he won’t tumble down.”

The female instructor said amiably, “How about this, since you insist on fighting, I’ll register it for you. In a while, you will have to follow the order, because not only do you want to challenge the experts of the three boards, many disciples will also have to follow the rules. “If you want to line up, wait for the notification after I help you register.”

An Zheng asked: “May I ask how many people are queuing up in front of me?”

The female instructor replied, “Abouundred.”

An Zheng sighed: “It’s too much... “Excuse me, where do you queue up?”

The female instructor pointed to a chair at the extreme west of contest ground. The disciples that were waiting to begin their challenges all sat there obediently. Looking at the number of people, the female instructor said that there were abouundred of them. It should be said that there were about two hundred of them. It was only early in the morning and there were already so many people lining up, one by one, going down, An Zheng’s turn was probably going to be on the second day. Moreover, if these people were to pick the last person on the Red List and start fighting, the last person would likely die from depression. Of course, there was no need to sort out the challenges on the Red Chart. You could directly challenge the first rank on the Red List.

The male instructor who didn’t like An Zheng said as he pointed towards the waiting area, “Go over there and wait. When it’s your turn, you will naturally be notified. However, let me advise you. We have already registered your name, but you should go back to sleep.

An Zheng acknowledged his as he walked towards the waiting area.

The male lecturer curled his lips: “Just say that you can’t be angry. Such an arrogant and unbridled person is really infuriating. I have seen all sorts of arrogant people in the same academy for so many years. Today is truly my first time seeing someone so arrogant. Let him wait and see. Let’s sharpen his hostility. ”

The female instructor said, “I actually feel that this young man is a bit different. He’s not that arrogant and boastful.”

Just as he was speaking, he saw An Zheng walking back towards him. “Sir, I’ll have to trouble you to arrange a challenge for me.”

Male instructor: “I already told you to wait in line! Don’t you see so many people lining up over there... “The heck!”

An Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: “They are all very modest, they said that I should go first.”

There was no one on the chair. Everyone was lying on the floor. An Zheng’s attack wasn’t really heavy, it merely stunned oveundred people.
