Invincible Snake Emperor
Chapter 347 - 343: The Top 5 God-level Students of the Genius Class
Tu Xiao’an and the man in green robes stood on the martial arts arena. As time passed, it wasn’t just students from the Genius Class present; more and more students from the regular classes gathered to watch. The crowd was gradually turning into a sea of people.
Every person who challenged the Genius Class would compete in the arena, and every match was major news, a big event for the academy.
No one would miss watching this duel.
Everyone who came out of the Genius Class had a limitless future. They were either future talents of the nation or heirs to various powerful factions.
Besides, the protagonist of this challenge was the publicly acknowledged strongest freshman, who possessed a genuine Super Battle Pet. The majestic image of the strongest freshman soaring through the morning sky on his Immortal Spirit Peacock was still fresh in everyone’s minds.
As more and more students arrived, the clamor of the crowd rose and fell in waves.
Interestingly, students weren’t just gathering on the ground. Several figures could be seen standing mid-air, each movement exuding the air of a master.
Their forms were steady, walking in the air as if on flat ground, as though gravity had no hold on them.
"Wow... Look, it’s the top five gods from the Genius Class! They’re so commanding!"
"The one in the east is God Bai Junran, the Young Master of the Bai Family. He’s so manly! I heard he was the one who challenged the strongest freshman, saying, ’Let’s see if you have what it takes to get into the Super Genius Class.’"
"In the north is God Yang Zijie, the heir of the Yang Family. Two years ago, as soon as he entered the Ancient Academy, he went straight into the Super Genius Class because the person who was supposed to fight him didn’t even have the courage to face him and surrendered immediately."
"Look, in the south is God Xiao He! With that red hair, standing against the wind... he’s devastatingly handsome!"
"And in the west is God Wan Dong! He’s also quite the talent. I heard he’s the most senior student in the Genius Class, having been there for a full four years."
Many of the female students were whispering among themselves, looking up at the seniors in the sky with adoration.
Suddenly, the male students also broke into a commotion. Standing in the center of the sky was a peerlessly beautiful woman. Her skin was delicate, her expression was leisurely, and as her beautiful eyes glanced around, they held a peerless, cold beauty.
"That’s the young miss, Evil Qiqi, the only girl in the top five of the Genius Class. I heard her power has already reached the level of a Rank Three Creature. Everyone has to give her a wide berth."
The crowd below buzzed with discussion, their eyes fixed in fascination on the woman of exceptional grace.
These four men and one woman were all top-tier masters of the Ancient Academy. They disdained to stand on the ground and watch like ordinary students, instead looking down from the sky, positioned in the five directions: east, south, west, north, and center.
Only by being in mid-air, looking down on everyone else, could they properly display their status.
That’s right. They were just that awesome, that different from the rest.
"Who do you think will win? The strongest freshman, or will the Genius Class senior succeed in defending his spot?"
In previous years, the success rate for freshmen challenging Genius Class seniors was less than thirty percent. But this year was different. This freshman was too strong; he became a legend the moment he enrolled. He also had a Super Celestial Peacock and was regarded as the heir of a powerful, hidden family, making his identity extremely mysterious.
At this moment, the vice dean went up, made a few announcements, and then stepped down. Everyone knew the match was about to begin. The discussions in the crowd gradually died down as everyone focused their full attention on the fight.
The strongest freshman and the Genius Class senior in green robes faced each other from a distance.
"I am Ling Yanhang," the man in green introduced himself first. Then, with a cold look, he regarded Tu Xiao’an with the air of an elder. "So you’re this year’s strongest freshman, right? Quite the famous name. I hope you won’t disappoint me when the match begins."
Tu Xiao’an gave an odd smile. "If I don’t disappoint you, I’ll make you despair."
Er...
Ling Yanhang was taken aback. ’That’s a provocation!’ He immediately sneered. "Do you have any idea how many ’strongest freshmen’ I’ve defeated? They all came to challenge me, thinking they could step on my shoulders to get into the Genius Class. A pity, really. In the end, they all returned to the advanced class with their tails between their legs. Junior Brother, do you think you’re an exception?"
He put special emphasis on the two words "Junior Brother."
A freshman was just a freshman. No matter how strong, how strong could he be? The only thing that made Ling Yanhang wary was that this freshman had supposedly clashed with Bai Junran and hadn’t been at a disadvantage.
But he hadn’t seen that scene with his own eyes.
"Not an exception. A certainty." Tu Xiao’an actually felt like he was bullying the guy.
But from the look on the other man’s face, he was extremely confident, though Tu Xiao’an had no idea where that confidence came from.
Ling Yanhang’s face darkened. ’Such arrogance!’ Although he was ranked last in the Genius Class, he could still easily crush students from the advanced class.
"Little junior, I’d like to see just how much substance you have to back up those words."
"Enough with the nonsense. I don’t know you. Let’s just start. Don’t waste my time."
For Tu Xiao’an, this was just a formality. The opponent was merely a Level 26 Martial Cultivator. He had seen through him at a glance.
Just that morning, Tu Xiao’an had subdued a Level 32 Rank Three Demon Spirit. Facing these students now, he simply couldn’t muster any interest.
’Genius Class this, Genius Class that...’ Suddenly, Tu Xiao’an tilted his chin up slightly and saw the four men and one woman standing in the air above, each one looking unbearably arrogant, as if they were a cut above everyone else.
"Get down from there. If you want to watch, watch from below. What are you doing looming over my head?"
Tu Xiao’an frowned slightly. The attitude of the people in the sky irritated him, and Bai Junran was among them.
"Junior Brother, you’re not even in the Genius Class yet and you’re already this arrogant. Be careful, or there will be consequences for you later."
The man with a dignified and imposing bearing, standing in the west, spoke coldly.
"That’s God Wan Dong, the fifth-ranked master in the Genius Class!"
Someone in the crowd spoke up.
"We’ll watch from right above your head. What can you do about it?"
Bai Junran spoke as well, looking down on Tu Xiao’an with disdain, his hostility unconcealed.
"Little junior, your big sister here is rooting for you. Go get ’em!"
Directly above Tu Xiao’an in the center, the peerlessly beautiful woman spoke to him with a chuckle, her expression like that of a cat toying with a mouse.
"You’re not bad looking."
Tu Xiao’an replied. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Give me your Immortal Spirit Peacock, and I’ll grant you a date. How about it?"
"Sorry, I’m not interested in you."
Tu Xiao’an gave a cool, unfazed smile. The woman above was indeed very beautiful, but he wasn’t the type to be swayed by looks.
He had devoured a beauty before, and she was even a team leader from the Demon Management Bureau.
"What? The strongest freshman has such nerve! How dare he say something so disingenuous to the number one beauty of the Ancient Academy!"
The male students below were in an uproar. Many of Evil Qiqi’s fans were filled with righteous indignation.
"Are you sure you’re not coming down?"
The five people in the sky remained motionless, their condescending posture unchanging.
Tu Xiao’an smiled. He turned his head, glanced at the vice dean below, and sent a telepathic message: "Old man, are you going to do something about this? If you don’t, I won’t be holding back."
A hoarse voice came in reply: "These kids are all heirs to powerful factions. They’re proud, arrogant, and look down on everyone. If you, a Snake Spirit, have the ability to teach them a lesson, this old man has no objections."
"Alright. You’re the one who said it."
Tu Xiao’an understood. Since the old man had said as much, he no longer had any reason to hold back.
Unlike his past self, he no longer had to be timid and hesitant, overthinking every action.
To put it bluntly, he now had two Rank Three Demon Spirits alone. If he were to summon them, he could turn the entire Ancient Academy upside down.
