My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 152 Jiang Ye, Three Seconds!
Virtual starry sky world.

An independent starry sky!

This time, after Jiang Ye entered, he did not appear in the rest hall, but was directly teleported into the competition space.

"call!"

As soon as Jiang Ye entered, he appeared in the center of a huge arena.

There were no other arenas around.

The five hundred arenas set up for the preliminary rounds were separated from each other.

Your opponent is entering the match space. Please wait patiently.

"Opponent?" Jiang Ye closed his eyes to rest, not caring who his opponent was.

His goal is to be number one.

Even if he is matched with opponents like Shen Changxi and Liu Wanxiao in the preliminary rounds, he will still win.

Of course, it's most likely impossible.

According to the competition rules, the preliminary rounds are basically a battle between strong and weak teams, and only those ranked in the middle will encounter opponents of similar strength.

Eliminate the weakest first.

Almost all elimination tournaments follow this principle.

A moment later, Jiang Ye's opponent finally appeared.

"Whoosh!" A figure appeared on the opposite side of the arena.

"Brother Jiang?" a voice exclaimed in surprise.

Swish~ Jiang Ye opened his eyes.

"Brother Lin?" He showed a hint of surprise.

He saw an ugly young man with an enormous head and a face full of pockmarks standing opposite him.

Jiang Ye's opponent in this round of the preliminary round is Lin Yushu!
"Brother Jiang, I never expected that my opponent in the preliminary round would be you." Lin Yushu said with emotion, "This is probably going to be a tough battle."

"I didn't expect that either," Jiang Ye smiled.

Lin Yushu ranked over 500th in the entrance trial, placing him at the level of a C-grade student.

The competition follows the principle of 'strongest against weakest, average against average'.

Jiang Ye's matchup against Shanglin Yushu indicates that the system's assessment of Jiang Ye's strength is between Grade A and Grade A-intermediate.

That's normal, since Jiang Ye's last assessment was last month.

At that time, he had not yet reached the peak of his breakthrough.

"Brother Jiang, how are things going with Teacher Zhu?" Lin Yushu didn't rush to start the competition.

The atmosphere of training at Penglai University was extremely tense.

Furthermore, since the two were located in different regions, one in the Heavenly region and the other in the Mysterious region, they were geographically far apart and rarely had a chance to chat.

This was their first conversation in three months since the start of the school year.

"pretty good."

“Teacher Zhu is very responsible,” Jiang Ye said with a smile. “And you? I heard you’ve become an apprentice of a kendo teacher.”

"I'm not qualified to become an apprentice." Lin Yushu shook his head and smiled: "Category C students all attend classes in the large classroom."

"However, I do practice swordsmanship."

"After all, I'm not exactly good-looking, so I have to look cool when I'm fighting," Lin Yushu said with a smile.

As he spoke, he revealed a confident look: "In these three months, my swordsmanship has reached a minor level of proficiency. Brother Jiang, don't underestimate me. You might not be my match."

"Hahaha, alright, let's have a good competition then!" Jiang Ye laughed loudly.

[The match has begun. Please choose your weapon.]

A screen of light appeared.

Jiang Ye did not hesitate and directly chose the familiar Black Dragon Spear.

On the other hand, Lin Yushu chose a silver longsword.

【Game start! 】

As a subtitle appeared, the two on the stage instantly transformed into afterimages, shooting towards each other.

The battle begins!

As Jiang Ye began his match, fierce battles also broke out simultaneously in the other 499 arenas.

at the same time.

In a separate space, five hundred projections were displayed, showing the battle scenes of the five hundred arenas.

School leaders such as Bai Lao, Zhu Honglie, and Chen Yuntian were all watching the game from this location.

"The preliminary round has begun." Old Bai looked at the screen and said with a smile, "Let this old man see how many promising talents this year's freshmen have."

From his perspective, the freshman competition is far more important than the entrance exam.

Good performance upon enrollment only indicates decent high school grades. The freshman competition, however, is the true test of Penglai University's educational standards.

Whether there has been progress, and by how much, are all important metrics.

"Old Zhu."

Bai Lao suddenly looked at Zhu Honglie beside him and said with a smile, "How strong is Jiang Ye, the one you took in? I'm quite curious."

"Don't worry," Zhu Honglie shook his head and said, "You'll see him soon."

"You're being so mysterious." Old Bai shook his head and smiled.

"Old Zhu these days."

"He's hiding his students like they're treasures," Chen Yuntian chuckled hoarsely. "He's afraid we'll find out, it seems he's planning to make them famous overnight."

"Hahaha." The other teachers all laughed.

Everyone knows that among the students Zhu Honglie has taught over the years, very few have become famous.

Jiang Ye, whom he accepted this time, was the top student in the freshman trial.

However, its combat power that it later demonstrated should only be around the mid-stage of the first breakthrough.

From the perspective of these teachers, Jiang Ye might not even have made it into the top 100 in this competition.

Old Zhu's reaction at that time will definitely be quite interesting.

"Let's watch the show." The teachers all chuckled, their faces showing amusement.

For these school leaders, besides their daily training and teaching, the most interesting thing is watching their colleagues suffer setbacks.

"Humph."

Facing the expectant gazes of his colleagues, Zhu Honglie snorted lightly, completely unconcerned.

"Look, Jiang Ye has already started the competition," a chubby teacher suddenly said.

moment.

All the teachers looked toward one of the projected images.

With a wave of his hand, Elder Bai magnified the projection.

He was clearly paying close attention to Jiang Ye's performance, after all, he was the top student in the freshman trial.

In the video, two afterimages collided instantly, unleashing a violent roar.

Just three seconds later.

Only one figure remains in the picture.

competition is over!

All the teachers, including Mr. Bai and Chen Yuntian, were stunned for a moment.

"it's over?"

"So fast? Less than three seconds?"

"Jiang Ye? He's already broken through to the peak?" The teachers stared at the screen projection in utter astonishment.

Unexpected!

The battle just now, although it seemed to happen extremely fast, like two afterimages colliding fiercely, was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.

However, the teachers present saw it very clearly.

Jiang Ye's combat power has fully reached the standard of breaking through to the peak!

That's why he was able to kill his opponent in just three seconds.

"I remember when we enrolled, Jiang Ye was only at the mid-stage of the first breakthrough, right?" the chubby teacher said incredulously. "Now he's at the peak of the first breakthrough?"

"Isn't this right?"

"Jiang Ye has innate talent? How did he improve so quickly?"

"Old Zhu, you really have a way with patience! You managed to keep such a bombshell for so long!" The teachers were all in an uproar.

before this.

Everyone thought Old Zhu was going to make a big mistake, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations!
Even Bai Lao's eyes flashed with surprise: "To go from the mid-stage to the peak in just three months, that's incredibly fast."

"Although he looks like he just broke through, it's still quite surprising."

"Old Zhu, no wonder you were being so mysterious, you really had something big planned!" Old Bai exclaimed in amazement.

Zhu Honglie remained expressionless, but he couldn't suppress a smile as he said faintly, "What's this? It's just the preliminary round. Let's see what happens next."

Old Bai nodded: "It seems this child really has a chance to make it into the top ten."

"Top ten?" Zhu Honglie smiled but remained silent upon hearing this.

The top ten? That was not what he expected of Jiang Ye.

Not enough, far from enough!!
