Starting with the Nine Yang Divine Skill, school beauty, please be more reserved!

Su Chen looked at the boy with a calm expression.

He originally thought that this guy must have some skill to dare to challenge him.

But in the end, he pooped a huge one!

The next second, he exerted force with his fingertips, instantly shattering the longsword!

The domineering power traveled along the longsword and spread directly to the boy's arm.

Suddenly, the boy felt a tremendous force on his arm, followed by pain.

He instinctively stepped back, but at that moment, Su Chen had already closed in and landed a punch on his lower abdomen.

In an instant, he felt his breath catch in his throat, and an indescribable pain swept over his entire body.

His body flew backward uncontrollably and crashed directly off the stage!

The scene was deathly silent, with countless eyes fixed on Su Chen.

But they've become numb.

After all, Su Chen's strength over the past two days has shocked them more than once.

Therefore, they had long been prepared for this guy's challenge to Su Chen.

They just didn't expect Su Chen to be so ruthless!

Su Chen, however, showed no emotional change and remained calm.

He swept his cold gaze around before speaking, "Anyone else who disagrees, come on up!"

The voice was cold, tinged with disdain!

Despite their arrogant demeanor, no one dared to utter a sound.

If you have the ability to go up there, that's called showing off; if you don't have the ability, that's called being an idiot!

For example... that person just now.

Seeing that no one stepped forward, Su Chen sat down in the first position again.

The people around them turned their attention away and began vying for second place.

In previous years, the competition for first place was the fiercest, but now, because of Su Chen, the competition for second place is the fiercest!

Su Chen ignored all of this and simply looked around quietly.

Time passed quickly, and soon the top ten positions were determined.

Those who failed to make it into the top ten looked helpless.

The school alliance mentor then stepped forward and said, "It seems that this year's top ten have already been decided!"

As he spoke, someone carrying a tray came up behind him.

On this tray were the rewards for each ranking, covered with a red cloth.

Old Man Li also came up.

The professors from the surrounding colleges all exclaimed in surprise when they saw Old Man Li.

They stared in disbelief, dumbfounded.

"Alliance Leader Li actually showed up in person!"

"Leader Li has never come out before!"

"Yes, this is the first time!"

The professors from various colleges exclaimed in shock, their voices filled with disbelief.

They knew this old man Li all too well; he rarely showed his face.

This has never happened before in any previous competitions.

This year is definitely the first time.

Then, their gazes turned to Su Chen, who was in the first position.

Then they seemed to understand!

No wonder Old Man Li showed up in person; there's a reason for it!

Immediately afterwards, Old Man Li took the microphone and announced, "I will personally present the awards to everyone this time!"

As he spoke, he approached Su Chen.

Su Chen then stood up.

Old Li lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing a plant that looked like crystal.

"Hippophae rhamnoides!"

Su Chen thought to himself, with indescribable surprise.

This item is so precious that it is no exaggeration to say that it is a once-in-a-century find, something that is hard to come by and impossible to obtain.

If you obtain it, you can cleanse your bones and marrow.

Even the Su family couldn't produce this item.

After all, this is not something that can be obtained simply by having money and power!

Old Li picked it up and handed it directly to Su Chen.

"Su Chen, congratulations on taking first place on the Academy's Prodigy Ranking!!"

"As for martial arts techniques... I'll take you to the martial arts armory to choose one later!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen accepted the Seven-Leaf Glazed Grass.

To be honest, Su Chen was also pleasantly surprised at this moment.

This seven-leaf glass grass is already an extremely precious item.

I never expected that there would actually be a high-level Heaven-rank martial skill.

Wait until the awards ceremony is over.

Su Chen returned to the camp of the Divine Xia Imperial School.

The principal and Lu Yunxi wore expressions of indescribable excitement.

After all these years, someone from them has finally taken first place on the academy's list of prodigies.

The principal couldn't help but say, "Su Chen... thank you so much... if it weren't for you, we would still have missed out on the top spot on the Prodigy Ranking!"

As he spoke, his eyes reddened slightly.

Just then, Old Man Li walked over and said, "Su Chen, come with me to choose a martial arts technique!"

Choose one that suits you!

The principal then spoke up, "Go ahead, why not take advantage of the school alliance!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen followed Old Man Li to the martial arts storehouse.

Upon arriving at the martial arts storehouse, Old Man Li didn't waste any words and led Su Chen directly to the top floor.

All the martial arts techniques collected here are of the Heavenly Rank.

Each martial arts manual is protected by a special energy shield.

Su Chen was envious; if these martial arts techniques were shown to the public, they would cause a nationwide sensation.

"These are high-level Heaven-rank martial arts techniques. Choose whichever you like!"

Choose a volume that suits you and that you like!

Old Man Li did not help Su Chen choose.

A suitable martial arts manual is extremely important.

So Su Chen began to select, and looking at the many martial arts techniques, his heart seemed somewhat unsettled.

But soon, he had read more than half of the martial arts manuals, yet he still hadn't found one that suited him!

His brows furrowed slightly, almost unconsciously.

A suitable martial arts manual can double his combat power.

However, an unsuitable martial arts technique is not only difficult to master and a waste of time, but it is also difficult to unleash its full power.

After searching for a while, Su Chen's gaze finally fell on a piece of pitch-black fragment to the side.

The fragment was made of an unknown material, and it was pitch black with a faint glow.

Su Chen paused for a moment, picked it up, and felt a chill in his hand. It was heavy and had a considerable weight to it!

When Old Man Li saw Su Chen pick up the fragment, he subconsciously said something.

"I obtained this item from an ancient ruin many years ago!"

"I don't know its origin, but I can sense that it contains a terrifying martial art, though I'm unable to decipher it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen also became somewhat interested.

Old Li said again, "How about this... you can give it a try. If you can decipher it, then you can take it. If you can't, you can find another scroll. You won't lose anything!"

He was just trying it out.

Considering Su Chen's exceptional talent, there might actually be a chance for him.

Su Chen became interested upon hearing this, and began to try to decipher it.

The power of the divine soul immediately condensed and entered the fragment.

A profound, boundless sense of loneliness washed over me, as if I were losing my balance.

Su Chen felt his mind and spirit sinking, and it was out of his control.

All around was only darkness, devoid of any color...
