Chapter 28 Freshman Assembly
The next day, at the foot of a mountain range west of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.
All the freshmen of this year's Northern Cang Spiritual Academy gathered here on this day, creating a huge and lively scene.
Compared to previous years' freshman orientation, this year's freshman orientation was exceptionally lively.
In addition to the freshmen who originally attended the freshman orientation, many senior students stood outside and watched from a distance.
The reason for all of this is a name.
Qin Hao!
The news of Qin Hao's challenge to Li Xuantong spread rapidly within the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, reaching the entire academy in just one day.
Apart from those students who went into seclusion, most of the students at the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy now know about this.
The upperclassmen who gathered here to watch the freshman assembly also came for this reason.
The Heavenly Ranking is the most authoritative list in the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, and everyone on the list can be considered a prominent figure in the academy.
Every change in the top spots on the leaderboard attracts a lot of attention.
This time, the one who might change is Li Xuantong, the second-ranked player among the top three on the Heavenly Ranking, a powerful figure who has held the second position on the Heavenly Ranking for a long time.
The person who challenged him was even more legendary—a freshman who had only been with the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy for less than a month.
However, Qin Hao is not entirely without achievements; his entry into the eighth level of the Thunder Domain is the best proof of that.
The Northern Cang Spiritual Academy has over a million students, but only three have been able to enter the eighth level of the Thunder Domain and ascend the Thunder Domain Stele!
One is Li Xuantong, a well-established and influential figure, and the other is a freshman who has just joined the academy but has already stepped into the eighth level of the Thunder Domain.
The fact that these two individuals, with such vastly different identities, are fighting naturally attracts more attention than a typical battle on the Heavenly Rankings.
Even though today wasn't the day of the agreed-upon showdown between the two, it still attracted many senior students to watch the freshman assembly.
"Wow, there are so many people! There are so many senior students here to watch the freshman orientation."
"Hey, isn't that all because of Qin Hao? Everyone's here to see him."
"Speaking of which, Qin Hao is really remarkable. He has only been in the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy for less than a month and he already dares to challenge the Heavenly Ranking."
"It's not just that he dared to challenge the Heavenly Ranking; the person on the Heavenly Ranking actually accepted the challenge, which means his strength is definitely not weak. Otherwise, he would have been ignored as a clown jumping around."
"If you ask me, he'll definitely come out on top at this year's freshman orientation. The rest of us can just compete for second or third place."
Just as the freshmen were discussing among themselves, three figures appeared in the sky, each emanating terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations.
The two people on the left and right were two old men dressed in green robes. Their hair and beards were white, their expressions were solemn, and their eyes seemed to flash with lightning, which was quite strange.
Standing between the two was a figure in white robes. Although he had white hair, he looked as young as a teenager, with a warm smile on his face, making him seem very approachable.
"Haha, there are quite a few new students this year, it's much more lively than before."
The figure in white robes spoke slowly, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.
With reminders from their mentors, the freshmen learned the identity of the figure in white robes.
The Heavenly Seat Elder of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy is also the host of this freshman assembly.
Seeing the new students quiet down, the white-robed figure continued, "Little ones who arrived first, let me introduce myself. I am Zhutian, and I will be hosting this freshman assembly."
I'm sure you've all heard a lot about the freshman orientation during this time.
However, this year's freshman orientation is slightly different from previous years; it will no longer be conducted in the form of ring battles.
As he spoke, Zhutian pointed to a mountain peak not far away and said, "You all see that mountain peak, right? That's Beiling Mountain. We've set up a flag on its summit. Whoever is the first to climb to the top and pull down the flag will be the champion of this freshman tournament."
"Huh? It's that simple? Then all we have to do is see who runs the fastest?"
"No way, I'm really looking forward to having a good match with my opponent."
Elder Zhutian gestured for everyone to quiet down before continuing, "Of course, your journey to Beiling Mountain will not be smooth sailing."
Spirit beasts can be found along the way to the summit, and several celestial-level spirit beasts reside atop the North Spirit Mountain.
Upon hearing this, the freshmen all became serious.
A Celestial-level spirit beast is a very severe test for these new students, most of whom are only at the Divine Soul Realm.
"The Freshman Assembly is certainly challenging. The top five who reach the summit will receive 500,000 spirit points for first place, 400,000 for second place, 300,000 for third place, and so on."
In addition, the top five also qualify to enter the Spirit Technique Temple, which is where the Northern Cang Spirit Academy stores various spirit techniques.
In previous years, many people have also obtained divine-level spiritual techniques from them.
The words "divine spiritual technique" immediately ignited the fighting spirit of the new students.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. There aren't many rules for this freshman orientation; everyone will have to rely on their own abilities."
"Now, I hereby declare the freshman assembly officially open."
As Elder Zhutian finished speaking, a clear bell rang out, announcing the start of this year's freshman assembly.
As the bell rang, countless spiritual energy fluctuations erupted on the once peaceful plain, and densely packed figures rushed madly toward the direction of Beiling Mountain, looking from afar like a locust swarm passing through with tremendous force.
Qin Hao soared into the sky, transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning that flew through the air at an incredible speed.
In just a breath or two, he overtook the large crowd ahead and reached the very front.
"Stop right there!"
A voice rang out from behind Qin Hao, and a chilling aura surged from both sides of his body, quickly forming a thick ice wall in front of him.
He glanced back and saw a delicate figure with long, icy blue hair chasing closely behind him, emanating a chilling aura.
Bing Qing, a girl from the Ice Spirit Clan, is also a relatively well-known figure among the freshmen of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy this year.
Faced with the thick ice wall, Qin Hao crashed into it without the slightest hesitation.
Although the ice wall was thick, with his strength, such methods could not hinder him at all.
He didn't even use his spiritual power; he simply smashed through the ice wall with his powerful physical body.
Or rather, no one in the entire freshman assembly could pose any obstacle to his capture of the flag.
If it weren't for the chance to enter the Spirit Technique Temple, he wouldn't even have come to this freshman assembly.
After all, it's really not fun to fight against a group of freshmen who are far weaker than yourself.
However, the divine-level spiritual techniques of the Spiritual Technique Temple were simply too tempting to refuse, which forced him to make this trip.
Opportunities to obtain divine-level spiritual techniques like this are rare.
