However, after swinging this rather flexible and steady sword, Ryan froze there.
He looked at the empty hand with trembling eyes, then lowered his gaze, only to see that the sword he had been holding had appeared in the other person's hand, with the blade resting on his neck.
"Want to do it again?"
Tian Yi asked in a gentle tone.
Ryan was silent for two seconds, then he said, "Kill me."
Chapter 31 Ranking
The failure of the challenge did not make Ryan give up, so he challenged twice more.
Until the third time, he was stabbed in the throat in a similar manner, and he was no longer seen speaking in the challenge channel.
Zhu Miao: "Why doesn't this channel have a live broadcast function? I really want to see how strong the No. 1 player is."
Yas: "You can challenge him. He also has 0 regenerations. You may not be unable to defeat him."
Zhu Miao: "I won't!"
Tian Yi: "Why are you so resistant to fighting me?"
Zhu Miao: "I use a sword."
Tian Yi: "And then?"
Zhu Miao: "Unless my physical strength far exceeds yours, using a sword in front of you is tantamount to seeking death."
Lawrence: "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Zhu Miao: "Humph, I just know it."
Tian Yi: "Xiaoxiao, how big is the gap between you and her?"
Tian Xiaoxiao: "I can't tell, but I feel like there's a big difference."
Zhu Miao: "I just practiced for a longer time. After I enter school, the gap between me and Tian Xiaoxiao will be quickly narrowed."
Tian Yi: "You are the same age as Xiao Xiao, right? How long can you continue to cultivate? Starting from the womb?"
Zhu Miao: "Zhuang Zhou has been in a dream for two years, and has also been training in this other world for two years."
Ya Si: "Zhuang Zhouyi Meng? You're from China too? Damn it, the first and second place in the admissions rankings are all taken by you Chinese?"
Daphne: "Strange, isn't the strongest power in your world India? How come the top 10 miles belong to either China or the Twin Holy Kingdom?"
Ronan: "Sorry, I'm not from the Twin Holy Kingdom, but from the neighboring Utus Empire."
Daphne: "Spy!"
Ronan: "...I came here to study abroad."
Tian Yi: "Why are we chatting now? Fight! I want to see a river of blood!"
Aiilek: "I'm applying to challenge third place Yas."
System: Application approved. Challenger will proceed to the 39th Secret Assessment Realm. 3...2...1...
Ya Si: "Hey, young master of the Kalia family, since you want to die, I will grant your wish."
Tian Yi: "I heard that after entering school, you can challenge a life-and-death duel. We are already enrolled now, right? I wonder if we can challenge it?"
Zhu Miao: "Who do you have a grudge against?"
Tian Yi: "It's this young master from the Kalia family. He's so desperate that he's assembled a team of over 20 people to mess with me."
Ronan: "But you never died once."
Tian Yi: "I almost died. Do you know how scared I was when I was being chased?"
Lawrence: "My intuition tells me that you are showing weakness and tempting him to challenge you."
Ryan: "A word of advice, I'll only say this once: don't challenge him."
Zhu Miao: "Have you recovered from autism?"
Ronan: "How did you lose? Three challenges, and it seemed like they were all over in less than 3 minutes?"
Ryan: "You don't want to know."
Eunice: "Actually, you can still give it a try. After all, the ranking matches will start a month after you start school, so you'll have to play then."
Ryan: "Just fight for second place."
Zhu Miao: "Little Leizi, when I fought you before, your sword wasn't as weak as it is now."
Ryan: "I'm not weak, I've learned to adapt. If you can't understand, try challenging him. I think as a fellow swordsman, you should be able to understand how I feel now after being defeated."
Zhu Miao: "My sword has never been defeated before, and I don't want to explain my first failure in this situation."
Eunice: "It seems you really know Number One."
Zhu Miao: "Not bad."
Eunice: "Then I'll try."
Parisa: "Challenge the second-place player. Don't waste your recharges on the first-place player. You won't gain any growth or experience by fighting him."
Tian Yi: "Have we fought before?"
Parisa: "I'm the one you killed by turning the knife into a flying knife."
Tian Yi: "Oh! It's you. You're the best at long-range and beyond-visual-range spellcasting among all the magicians I've met so far."
Parisa: “…”
Zhu Miao: "But she didn't gain any growth or experience."
Parisa: "Mr. Tian Yi, do you mind if I tell you about your terrifying battle record?"
Tian Yi: "I mind!"
Parisa: "...Then, Mr. Tian Yi, can you tell me? Why were you so cautious in the beginning, but so aggressive when fighting for the water source? Did you have a breakthrough during this period?"
Zhu Miao: "Number one, she's hinting to everyone that you're invincible in the battle for water resources."
Parisa: “…”
Tian Yi: "I see. I'll remember this grudge!"
Tian Xiaoxiao: "I'm also curious, Xiaoyi, did you have a breakthrough during this period?"
Tian Yi: "No, I was cautious at first because I wasn't familiar with the way of fighting in this world. Later, especially during the battle for the water source, I kept watching them fight, and then I became familiar with it."
Zhu Miao: "After getting to know each other, do you find that you can despise everyone equally?"
Tian Yi: "It may sound a bit arrogant, but it's true. So far, I feel that Parisa can make me feel a little threatened."
Ryan: "I'm applying to challenge No. 5 Parisa!"
System: Application approved. Challenger will proceed to the 6th Secret Assessment Realm. 3...2...1...
Eunice: "If Ryan fails, I'll be next."
Lawrence: "I'm next."
Zhu Miao: "One sentence from the No. 1 put the No. 5 in dire straits."
Eunice: "Then Lawrence, you go first. I'm going to experience the strength of the No. 1 and apply to challenge No. 1 Tian Yi."
System: Application approved...
……
……
The final examination was not as intense as expected.
To be precise, with the help of the public channel for cross-secret realm communication, the candidates actually relaxed.
The first place was impossible to get no matter what. This was the conclusion everyone came to after the 12th challenger was killed and became autistic.
He was the only outlier among the candidates in this year, and some people even suspected that the No. 1 candidate was the Twelfth Saint.
The second place was not taken away either. There were 20 people who challenged her, and none of them succeeded.
Then came the third place, Yas Dipacha, whose place was taken by the former fifth place, Parisa.
As for why she added the word "original", it was because when she was challenging for the 3rd place, she had already been pulled down to the 10th place by others.
Next is the 4th place, and the defender is Ronan. To everyone's surprise, he was challenged 25 times and did not lose once.
Finally, the 5th place was originally occupied by Parisa, but it was taken away by Ryan, who then lost to Yas in the challenge.
Final ranking:
No. 1: Tian Yi;
No. 2: Zhu Miao;
No. 3: Parisa;
No. 4: Ronan;
No. 5: Yas.
After all the trouble, the top 5 are still the same 5 people, the only changes are the 3rd and 5th places.
……
On the 81st day of the formal assessment, the assessment was declared over.
When Tian Yi walked out of the secret realm, the real time had already come to mid-September.
Just as he was about to reunite with his sister, a conversation between two candidates outside the venue stopped him in his tracks:
"Stop bragging about your number one. No matter how great he is, the Twelfth Saint will steal the show when school starts."
"The Twelfth Saint?!"
"Hehe~ While you were still inside taking the test, the identity of the twelfth saint had already been revealed. He is from our Twin Holy Religious Nation.
The one who discovered him was the daughter of the Duke of Pedia, and I heard recently that they were getting engaged."
"The twelfth saint is a man? Did he take the test?"
"He's a man named Al, born into a commoner family. He's 15 years old. Because he's a saint, he's exempt from the entrance exam."
"A saint's privilege? That's amazing! We fought so hard to get it, but he got it without doing anything."
"You're lucky. I heard that the speech originally given to the first-place freshman in the entrance exam was also taken away by the Twelfth Saint."
"Ah, what a pity for number one..."
Chapter 32: System Saint
Tian Yi only listened for a short while before he had to show up due to the arrival of Tian Liu and Tian Xiaoxiao, and scared away the two candidates who were caught gossiping.
After the mother and her two children reunited, they did not rush to share the news inside and outside the examination room. Instead, they quietly walked out of the school gate, came to the parking lot, and got into Tian Liu's car.
After closing the car door, Tian Xiaoxiao immediately lay in her mother's arms.
Tian Yi took out the iced drinks and poured three cups.
Tian Liu observed her children for a while, then smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, is it easy? You can tell at a glance that Xiao Xiao has endured a lot of hardships."
"Three months isn't bad at all. In my dream world, I often go camping in the wilderness in my later years, sometimes for months or even years."
Tian Yi handed a drink to Tian Liu, then took out a straw and inserted it into another cup, and handed it to Tian Xiaoxiao who was still lying there.
"Thank you, Xiaoyi."
Tian Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with her brother's thoughtfulness. She held the drink in both hands, put the straw in her mouth, and drank it lazily.
She was really tired.
"Xiaoxiao, how do you get water during a drought?"
Tian Yi asked.
Tian Xiaoxiao: "Some girls invited me to join their team because I was young. We fought hard and were able to get enough water in the beginning."
