Seven days had passed in the blink of an eye.
At Dragon Academy, the freshman campus.
Initially thought to be modern architecture, to everyone's surprise, the whole freshman campus turned out to be an ancient castle occupying expansive grounds.
At this moment, all the first-year freshmen had gathered in the largest square of the ancient castle.
"Congratulations to all of you for becoming students of Dragon Academy, and also congratulations on reaching the most crucial turning point in your lives.
Being admitted to Dragon Academy indicates a promising future for you, but it also means that your future is fraught with extreme danger.
Of course, some students do not wish to venture into the Sea of Realms to seek immortality and would rather live a peaceful life in Blue Star.
Then congratulations to you, once you join Dragon Academy, you are destined to become a powerful figure in Blue Star, living a safe and carefree life.
However, the vast majority of students enter Dragon Academy aiming for the title of Lord in the Sea of Realms. Hence, those of you with ambitions in the Sea of Realms, you might need to fight hard to earn resources.
Dragon Academy possesses the most abundant Sea of Realms resources on Blue Star. As long as you are willing to work hard and prove yourself outstanding, all these resources from the Sea of Realms will be made available to you without reservation.
Next, regarding the current standings and school district ranking, the top ten will have the right to live in independent mansions, ranks eleven to one hundred will have the right to live in independent villas, and the rest of the freshmen will be assigned single rooms in the residential area of the castle.
Of course, from this moment, the competition also begins. Anyone dissatisfied with their housing can issue a challenge. As long as you can defeat your opponent, then you can take over their housing privileges.
Remember, your housing situation can only be decided today, no objections will be accepted later.
Also, the academy conducts an assessment every six months, the capable rise, and the mediocre fall, including housing privileges and many other benefits of the academy."
The dean of the freshman campus, Liu Changge, read out the announcement while inputting data into the jade token guide.
"The first place in this assessment goes to Zi Liyuan;
Second place, Ying Xueji;
Sixth place, Shen Yurou;
Seventh place, Mo Yi;
Eighth place, Wang Tie;
One hundredth place, Fan Zhongguang.
Does anyone object? You may challenge one-on-one!
The winner will gain the residential rights of their chosen target;
The challenger who fails must pay the other party 1,000 Contribution Value!"
If you want someone else's resources, you can't just get them for free. After all, some people who overestimate their capabilities need to be filtered out, right? We can't let them cause trouble and unnecessarily complicate the teachers' work.
Even with the added difficulty of a high Contribution Value penalty, there were still those who were unsatisfied and stepped forward to challenge.
Challenge the top scholar of the college entrance exam?
Didn't you see the miserable state of those second-year students who were robbed and cried over the seven days?
Only a fool would throw themselves into the fire!
Those who considered themselves talented had their sights set beyond the top five ranks.
Helpless as they were against Zi Liyuan, even if they were reluctant to accept it, they had to refrain from challenging in the face of absolute strength.
As for ranks two to five, they were direct descendants of the four imperial families in this generation. Not only were their abilities incredibly strong, but the countless cards they held in their hands were not something the challengers could shake.
Therefore, these hopefuls turned their eyes to the sixth rank, examining each candidate closely.
Sixth rank, Shen Yurou?
Heard she is a Mechanic, a life occupation. Not only did she rank within the top fifty in the national college entrance examination, she participated in martial trials too, and some even witnessed her one-shotting the strongest contender from one of the great provinces.
So, there are plenty of ranks, better to look at the next one.
After all, they are not seeking abuse. Their goal is simply to secure better resources, so naturally, they want to pick on the easier targets.
She has deep connections with the four imperial families and is currently Zi Liyuan's lady friend. ε=(´ο｀*))) Alas, next~!
Eighth rank, Wang Tie?!
Who is that? Never heard of him.
Upon checking the information, turns out he's Zi Liyuan's underling, a hidden occupation Beast Tamer with 25 hero boss-level pets.
Frantically frustrated!
Several challengers with a glint in their eyes hesitated, but ultimately shook their heads and gave up.
Beast Tamers lack sufficient offensive power before reaching the Fourth Order Level 100 Peak, but their survivability is absolutely top-notch. And this fatso has a troop of 25 hero boss-level pets, tough to beat.
Even if we could drag this guy down, there's a high probability of provoking retaliation from Zi Liyuan. Word has it that he's quick to take offense, bearing grudges over the smallest issues, so it's better not to provoke him for the time being.
Hence, during the subsequent challenges, all eight people ranked ahead of Wang Fatty were ignored, giving them an easy ride this time.
No one came to cause trouble, causing Zi Liyuan to sigh. What a good opportunity to network?
Shen Yurou, number two and Wang Fatty breathed a sigh of relief. They had genuinely felt immense pressure, as this place gathered the truly outstanding scions from the Nine Great Divine Provinces.
Who didn't have their own trump cards? If they carelessly capsized in the gutter, they would lose face, but more importantly, it would reflect poorly on Zi Liyuan.
After all, they didn't want others to say that they gained such good ranks and resources simply by clinging to someone powerful, right?
Even though that was the truth, their abilities were also strong!
Zi Liyuan followed a guide instructor directly to the mansion area located in the eastern region of the ancient castle, built within a dimensional space.
The environment was beautiful with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the area was filled with Spiritual Energy. Inside the big mansion, there was even an indoor swimming pool whose waters were actually spiritual liquid derived from liquefied Spiritual Energy!
