Who told him to rush up there?.

After Alyssa's game, there was another long schedule of irrelevant games. Eli did not discover any geniuses with amazing potential. Instead, he felt that this might be the worst class of students in the true sense of the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy.

It wasn't until the fifth grade game that Eli finally mustered up some energy, because it would soon be Eleanor's turn to play.

The fifth grade competition had just begun, and before Eleanor's turn, Eli unexpectedly discovered a good candidate.

Of course, she is just a good seedling. If she is compared with Jessica, Cecilia and others, she will undoubtedly appear inferior.

"Why is Junior Sister Elena challenging the fifth-year battle strength list? Isn't she a fourth-year student?"

Someone in the audience exclaimed, apparently recognizing the challenger on the stage. However, the person she was challenging was clearly not in the same grade as herself. There had been precedents for cross-grade challenges, but it had never happened before where a fourth grader challenged a fifth grader.

After all, the fourth grade represents students of level six strength, while the fifth grade represents students of level seven strength. Although the other grades are also separated by a level, the gap between the fourth and fifth grades is the chasm from ordinary warriors to high-level warriors, which is completely different from the second grade crossing the third grade, the fifth grade crossing the sixth grade, etc.

Even Jessica and Cecilia would have some difficulty challenging opponents at level 7 when they were at level 6. One can imagine how difficult it is for ordinary geniuses to cross this level.

"You probably don't know this, but last night, Elena just broke through to the seventh level. She's only nineteen years old. She's truly a rare and gifted girl."

The well-informed student then explained to everyone in a boastful manner, as if it was not the girl on the stage who had entered the advanced level, but herself.

"A 19-year-old seventh-level expert? A true genius is truly terrifying. This kind of talent would rank among the best even among the younger generation on the entire continent."

After hearing this first-hand news, the student next to him couldn't help but sigh. He was already 22 years old this year and was still wasting time at the sixth level. Even so, he was considered an outstanding student in the grade, but look at other 19-year-olds who were already serious high-level strongmen.

"If it were in the past, Junior Sister Elena would have been considered a genius among her peers, but now look at that person over there. Do you still think Junior Sister Elena's talent is amazing?"

At this time, someone suddenly spoke up and nodded towards the leadership seat. Following the direction he secretly glanced at, everyone saw Dean Eli, who stood out among the crowd of uncles and aunts.

A twenty-year-old half-step demigod...

A 19-year-old seventh-rank warrior...

What a genius! Junior Elena is just trash... Ahem, not really, if she is that, then what are all of them? Unrecyclable waste?
No one can compare to Dean Eli in terms of talent and achievements in his youth. No one now, no one in history, and no one in the future will likely be able to do so...

He is simply like the son of the world who is favored by all gods, an unclimbable mountain, an indescribable genius. Even if the power of the entire continent is combined to support one person, it would not be more than this.

Other people, including the beautiful harem around him, have their limits no matter how talented they are, at least within the limits that people can imagine. But not Dean Eli. No one can imagine his talent until he came out of nowhere. People were surprised to find that humans can be so powerful. They are truly worthy of being the number one race on the continent.

Just as people were sighing silently, the challenge on the ring had officially begun, but in the blink of an eye, the game was already nearing its end.

The strength displayed by Elena on the stage was extraordinary. Although her opponent was not weak, she could not withstand her attacks at all. Not to mention counterattacking, even her defense seemed stretched. The match lasted only five minutes. The challenger, who was suppressed to the point of collapse, raised her hand to admit defeat, at least retaining the last bit of dignity.

Elena, who had just entered the seventh level last night, defeated her opponent very easily and climbed onto a new level on the combat power list.

But she was not challenging the last one on the fifth-grade combat power list. She carefully selected her opponent who was ranked 50th on the list. She was not the strongest in the same grade, but she was also a middle-level genius, and an unattainable existence in the eyes of ordinary people.

After this challenge, the newly-listed Elena's ranking far surpassed Eleanor, causing Eleanor, who had not yet appeared, to drop one place.

By the way, before this game started, Elena was a top figure on the fourth-grade combat power list, not some unknown small fish or shrimp.

The rather bellicosity Eleanor looked at Elena on the stage, the beautiful girl named after her sister Wendy, and her fighting spirit boiled up involuntarily.

I really want to fight with her. I feel like she can fight with me for at least twenty or thirty rounds. She isn't as vulnerable as the opponents I challenged before.

"Elai, can I also challenge a higher rank opponent? An opponent who is too weak is not worth training with at all."

Eleanor immediately turned around and suggested to Eli that she was still ranked in the seventies, and it would be a waste of time if she continued to move up one by one. What Elena on the stage could do, she could also do, and even do better than her.

"It's up to you. Just don't go for the top ten all at once. It's up to you."

Eli hesitated for about three seconds before approving Eleanor's application. He had previously asked Jessica and Cecilia to speed up the challenge process. Now that Eleanor really had this need, he let her do it. It really didn't help her much to have opponents that she killed instantly every time.

But today's application had already been submitted, and Eleanor had to go on stage angrily a moment later and knock her opponent away with a hammer, and then leave the stage angrily again.

Stupid Eli! He wasted her time. He really valued women over friends!

Actually, it can't be entirely blamed on Eli. After all, he didn't guess at the beginning that the lower level of the student combat power list would be so poor. In his opinion, these people are at least one in a hundred or even a thousand talented students. Although Eleanor is talented, she can't crush the human geniuses that much.

But unexpectedly, the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy, which was once so glorious and had trained many saints and demigods for the empire, had such a mediocre batch of students. Not to mention the lower part of the list challenged by Eleanor, even the middle part of the list previously challenged by Elena did not look very good, which did not quite match Eli's original idea.

After Eleanor won the game and watched a few more games without any surprises, it was Evelyn's turn.

Eli underestimated Evelyn's fighting and cultivation talents from the beginning, because she was not a well-known figure in her previous life. At least even someone like Eli, who was not isolated from the news, had never heard of her.

No one knew whether she had not grown up in her previous life or had died young like Michelle, but fortunately, Eli did not miss her in this life, and by chance, he gave her a little blue pill, which added fuel to her already extraordinary talent.

Evelin was indeed a beautiful jade that had once been covered in dust. Not only was she outstanding in appearance and figure, she had also achieved many victories in the confrontations with geniuses of the same level. This time, she won again as expected! After she returned victorious, Eli embraced her and kissed her in public as a reward for her.

Although most people thought Eli was taking advantage, seeing Cecilia's envious look, some people still felt that it was a real reward.

After that, there were no surprises in the game. Even when it was Jessica's turn, she quickly defeated her opponent after coming on the court, which was not surprising.

It was not until Cecilia came on stage and specifically challenged Michelle Winky that Eli realized that this guy had changed the challenge application without telling them yesterday.

You know, Michelle is a top figure on the sixth grade combat power list. If Cecilia chooses to challenge her and wins, then she will be the new number one. The challenge competition for the student combat power list has rules that do not allow high-ranking students to challenge low-ranking students.

If Cecilia got what she wanted in this game, she would have lost several opportunities to hone her skills, which would be a bit of a loss for her.

But Cecilia didn't care about all that. She wanted to beat Michelle up right now. She wanted to see how capable this guy was for daring to seduce her master!

Michelle just let Cecilia call her name on the stage and did not go on stage. It’s not that she didn’t come, she was there and was sitting in the audience, but she had no intention of going on stage to compete.

Logically speaking, Cecilia submitted her challenge application, and the director approved it, so her match with Michelle was set. Unless Michelle could not participate in the competition for no special reason, she had to go on stage and fight Cecilia now.

"Come up here! I'm going to beat you up!"

Looking at Michelle who was as steady as a rock off the stage, Cecilia couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She wasn't afraid of how strong Michelle was, but she was really afraid that Michelle would not dare to go on stage and would give in directly off the stage.

If that happened, she would be directly ranked first and Michelle would fall to second place. According to the rules of the challenge, she would never be able to challenge Michelle again, and she would lose the opportunity to beat her up openly.

"I won't go up. I have a special reason not to compete with you."

Michelle in the audience didn't ignore Cecilia, but her light tone sounded so asking for a beating. Cecilia got furious and said, "I'm not called Cecilia if I don't beat you up," even though she didn't have a surname at all.

"You weren't injured yesterday, so why can't you compete? Are you having your period?"

Cecilia was puzzled. Michelle looked energetic and didn't seem injured or sick. Why could her challenge application be rejected, unless her special reason was a trouble that girls encounter every month.

"That's not true..."

Michelle's tone was still so light and frivolous, but to Cecilia it sounded even more annoying.

"Then come up!"

Cecilia shouted on the stage, stomping her feet.

"I just happened to have a breakthrough this morning..."

Michelle didn't seem to have any intention of showing off, but these few simple words still made her feel pretentious.

She is number one on the sixth grade combat power list, and a top existence among the eighth-level powerhouses. She just happened to break through... that means she has entered the ninth level!

When she was at the eighth level, she was already able to defeat the peak ninth level warriors. Now that she has broken through to the ninth level herself, doesn’t that mean she is invincible in the same level, sweeping away all geniuses below the Saint level?
But Cecilia didn't care that Michelle had made a major breakthrough in strength. She just wanted to beat Michelle up. She didn't care how strong she was. Could she be stronger than Jessica? She wasn't even afraid of Jessica, so how could she be afraid of Michelle?
"I'm not afraid of you even if you've made a breakthrough! What's the special reason for becoming stronger? Come up and fight me!"

Cecilia is not a newborn calf, but she is not afraid of tigers. She has killed ninth-level opponents before, so how could she let Michelle fool her?

"I've become stronger for a special reason, because I've fallen off the list."

When Michelle met Cecilia, a new student who had just enrolled and had never attended classes except for the challenge competition, she patiently explained to her.

"As long as the sixth-grade students break through to the ninth level, they will be forced to graduate and no longer have the status of students. No matter where I was previously ranked on the grade's combat power list, I will automatically be removed from the list and my ranking will be postponed."

"After the sixth grade battle power list is removed, as long as I don't successfully challenge the people on the graduate battle power list and obtain a new ranking on the battle power list, then I will temporarily be outside the list and not a genius nominated for the battle list."

"No matter who you are to Dean Eli, no matter if you are strong or weak, you cannot challenge someone who has no ranking at all. Do you understand now?"

After hearing Michelle's explanation, Cecilia was not stupid, of course she understood it, but because she understood it, she became even angrier.

Good girl, she actually avoided my challenge like this. Even if I graduate with her on the spot, I won’t be able to challenge her as long as she resists being on the battle power list stone tablet of graduates.

But how can I do this? How can I vent my anger if I don't beat her up?

Since the chance to fight her openly is blocked, why not just find a chance to corner her in a dark alley and beat her up?
But the master obviously wouldn't agree with her doing this. He hated people who bullied others the most. If she did that, even if she was fighting a ninth-level opponent with an eighth-level opponent, she would inevitably be suspected of bullying the weak, and the master would be angry...

The only good way is to challenge openly and honestly, which no one can question, but this guy took advantage of the loophole!

I can't just endure it for as long as she hides. With my short temper, I definitely can't endure it as long as she does...

I’m so angry, but there’s nothing I can do!
Cecilia stomped her feet on the stage and wanted to curse, but the good character she had been taught by her master prevented her from saying it. In the end, she could only glare at Michelle with her beautiful big eyes, and then left the stage in disgrace. (End of this chapter)
