CHAPTER: You Can Be a Bit Arrogant
Fifty arenas competed simultaneously, and the second round ended in just one hour.
Under the gaze of more than two thousand people, accompanied by the refresh of the large screen in the stadium, only fifty names remained at the top.
Chen Chu looked up and saw his name ranked 49th, a faint smile appearing on his face.
In addition to that, he also saw several familiar names: Lin Xue successfully defended her position at 10th, Iray at 29, and the Li Meng he had defeated was at 34.
Only the class leader's sister, Lin Yu, was at 40.
This ranking made Chen Chu pause slightly because he felt that this girl named Lin Yu had strong abilities, possibly even a bit stronger than Li Meng.
On the main stage, Lin Xiong announced, “The second round of the competition is over. Next is the challenge rounds. Anyone unsatisfied with their ranking has the opportunity to challenge for a spot in the top ten.”
“Win to advance; lose, and your original ranking remains. Is there anyone who wants to challenge?”
“I, I want to challenge for 20th.”
“I want to challenge for 10th.”
“I, I also want to challenge for 15th…”
They were all first-year freshmen, all at the first level of heaven. With no worries behind them, who feared whom? Therefore, many ranked lower chose to challenge those ahead.
Even Liu Feng, who ranked 50th, chose to challenge Lin Yu, who was at 40th.
Instead, Chen Chu stayed quiet, and no one chose to challenge the first place holder, An Fuqing.
Under everyone's watch, the challenges quickly concluded, with all those challenging the top ten failing, while a few who challenged for the 20s and 30s succeeded.
“Now I announce that the first round of the freshman ranking competition is over.”
On the main stage, Lin Xiong said solemnly, “All freshmen who entered the top fifty will receive an additional five contribution points each month during their time at the school, continuing until the second year.”
“Moreover, every student will receive a 20% discount when exchanging for internal resources.”
As soon as Lin Xiong finished speaking, a staff member rushed to him, whispering something.
After listening, Lin Xiong nodded slightly and then said in a deep voice, “I have something to discuss with the teachers present; everyone can disperse. Contribution points will be credited to your student accounts tomorrow.”
After saying this, the teachers hurriedly left their seats.
Chen Chu, carrying his sword, walked up to the audience area, and Xia Youhui excitedly shouted, “A Chu, you’ve done incredibly! You actually made it into the top fifty!”
Chen Chu smiled, “Is it that exaggerated? It’s just 49th.”
Xia Youhui was speechless, “A Chu, you’re great everywhere, but every time you’re humble, I just want to hit you, really.”
Pff! Luo Fei next to them couldn’t help but laugh.
Xia Youhui huffed, “It’s just 49th; if you don’t want it, you can give it to me! I didn’t even make it into the second round, I’m much more unfortunate than you.”
Luo Fei walked up to Chen Chu, smiling at the corners of her mouth, “Actually, Chen Chu, you can be a bit arrogant because making it to the top fifty as a freshman is quite impressive.”
With nearly two thousand students in the entire grade, over seven or eight hundred had successfully established their foundations, plus more than a hundred who were cultivating advanced techniques, known as ‘geniuses.’
In this context, Chen Chu, who was practicing the low-level dragon elephant skill, making it into the top fifty, was surprising and astonishing to everyone who knew him.
Including Lin Xue and Iray, they didn’t expect anyone from their class could enter the top fifty, especially someone whose initial talent seemed average.
That’s why Luo Fei said he could be a bit arrogant because he had that qualification.
Chen Chu smiled, “Alright, I’ll be a bit arrogant, at least until everyone breaks through to double heaven.”
While joking, the three mingled with the crowd as they left the gym.
