Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 563 - 556 The Results of the Contending Path Class

Ji Xing, Zhuo Qi, Fan Qingsi, and Long Xiyue, along with numerous other cultivators, had just entered the entrance of the Daoist Skill Elimination Competition when a powerful surge of Dao Rhythm power blasted toward them.

Some cultivators whose Immortal Essence was not refined enough were directly swept away and thus eliminated.

Ji Xing and his group felt fortunate. If they had not been training with Daoist Ding for this period, they would have been among the first batch of cultivators blasted out.

With their now refined Immortal Essence, the impact of such power on their bodies couldn't even tear through their Immortal Essence shields, let alone shake their bodies.

They were indeed the first batch of cultivator students to withstand this Dao Rhythm power and rush inside.

In the Great Dao Corridor Plaza, everyone focused on the first round of the Daoist Skill Elimination Competition.

As one after another participating cultivator student was swept out of the competition, some spectators who were paying attention to the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy started to doubt their eyes.

So many thousands had already been eliminated, yet they hadn't seen any cultivator students from Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy being eliminated?

Soon enough, two students from the academy were swept out.

A female cultivator who had been watching intently sighed with relief, "I was wondering why no one from Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy had been eliminated. It's a good thing some finally have.

There are eight of them, right? Six still remain. They don't seem like the trash from the Dao Contending Class."

"It seems like they've been putting in effort; their progress is obvious. It's just a pity they started trying too late."

...

Unable to contain himself after hearing the chatter, a Daoist spoke up:

"Please look more carefully. Although these two eliminated students are from Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy, they are not from the Dao Contending Class; they are from the Mysterious Dao Class."

At this moment, everyone realized that the two eliminated students from the academy were indeed not among the eight from the Dao Contending Class.

The crowd fell silent, their thoughts unknown to others.

If those eight had been eliminated in the first batch, they would have found it amusing.

Given that so much time had passed, even if they were eliminated now, they wouldn't be considered the worst batch. What's there to laugh at?

As more and more cultivator students were eliminated, every time a student wearing the uniform of Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy appeared, they received the most Divine Will scrutiny.

The Daoist Skill Elimination Competition lasted a whole half-day.

Because of the impressive performance of several students from the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy's Dao Contending Class who were not eliminated, the number of onlookers kept increasing.

"The rankings are out." As the competition ended, someone saw the rankings appear on the huge Array Formation Screen.

First place: Ji Xing, with 97,321 points, Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

Second place: Mu Wuhui, with 97,106 points, West Wasteland Daoist Skill Academy.

Third place: Long Xiyue, with 96,882 points, Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

...

How could this be?

In the elimination rankings, Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy had four students in the top ten. Moreover, two of the top three were from the academy.

"There must be a mistake, right?" Someone finally voiced out.

"There can't be a mistake. The competition used a supreme Immortal Artifact; no one can cheat in this."

Not just the spectators, but even the deans of the academies, the Alliance Hierarch, and the Immortal Lord hosting the competition thought the rankings were wrong.

However, after repeatedly checking the process and the results, there indeed was no mistake.

The four students from the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy in the top ten all relied on genuine ability.

"Is the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy really that strong now?"

"I don't know if the academy is that strong, but those four students in the top ten are indeed from the Dao Contending Class."

"Could the academy have deliberately sent their best students to the Dao Contending Class to attract attention?"

"Idiot, why don't you try that and see if you can get four seats in the top ten, including two in the top three."

Yuan You rubbed his eyes and kept observing with his Divine Will.

No mistake, after the elimination competition ended, the top ten included four students from the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

They were Ji Xing in first place, Long Xiyue in third, Zhuo Qi in sixth, and Fan Qingsi in tenth.

"Haha..." Gu Min laughed heartily and walked up to Yuan You:

"Dean, this time, I recruited an excellent Daoist for our academy. No matter the future results, just this Daoist Skill Elimination Competition is enough to make Daoist Ding famous in the Great Dao Corridor."

Yuan You felt a faint sense of unease and was about to respond to Gu Min when a commotion erupted.

He and Gu Min extended their Divine Will and saw that the first round of the Array, Talismanic, and Artifact competitions also ended.

The commotion was because Li Yunmu won first place in the Array Elimination Competition, while Lin Zhenruo secured second. Both were from the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

In the Talismanic Elimination Competition, Qian Xun Haoyi secured second place.

In the Artifact Elimination Competition, Lei Zuocheng also secured second place.

These results...

"Ding Huan Daoist truly raised the Dao Contending Class to such heights?" Yuan You muttered to himself, suddenly regretting his earlier thoughts of secretly investigating Ding Huan.

After this Daoist Skill Academy competition, Ding Huan would definitely be a Daoist sought after by all academies.

Yuan You rubbed his brow, striving to think of a way to resolve the situation and strengthen his relationship with Daoist Ding.

With such a Daoist, he wouldn't need to pry into others' secrets.

Gu Min didn't notice Yuan You's change in mood, gripping his fists excitedly.

He hadn't misjudged.

As long as Ding Huan stayed with the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy for a few years, the title of a Saint Daoist wasn't beyond reach.

The thought of the academy possibly having a Saint Daoist made Gu Min uncontrollably excited.

"Dean Gu, I want to ask you something. Was Daoist Ding's departure related to you?"

Though Yuan You was happy about the academy's rankings, he was more worried about the future.

Fortunately, he hadn't had time to act against Ding Huan; otherwise, Ding Huan could have easily joined a top Daoist Skill Academy and would have had the means to deal with Yuan You.

Yuan You asked Gu Min this question, fearing that Gu Min might have betrayed Ding Huan.

Gu Min was taken aback, then shook his head, "How could that be? After recruiting Daoist Ding to the academy, I was busy with numerous affairs and never had the time to meet Daoist Ding.

Until before the competition, when I went to meet Daoist Ding, he had already left the academy. Daoist Ding must have left for some business and will return once he's done."

"That's good, that's good." Yuan You repeatedly said.

Just one elimination competition had already changed the status of the eight cultivator students from the Dao Contending Class of Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

The official competition had not even begun, and many people were already surrounding the eight.

They frequently asked who the Daoist of these eight was.

At this moment, Ding Huan's name was constantly mentioned.

Only Lei Zuocheng and Qian Xun Haoyi looked somewhat down.

They had lost the first place in the Talismanic and Artifact competitions.

...

Everlight Immortal City.

Although the elimination competition was far from ending, Everlight Immortal City was already buzzing with excitement.

For the first time, Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy had achieved such prominence, securing the first places in both the Daoist Skill and Array Elimination Competitions.

Furthermore, students from the academy also secured second places in the Talismanic and Artifact Elimination Competitions.

Such an eye-popping record had never been seen since the city's founding.

The Long Immortal Clan, being a great clan in Everlight Immortal City, was the first to get the news.

When Long Yizhun heard that Long Xiyue, a direct descendant of the Long Immortal Clan, had won third place in the Daoist Skill Elimination Competition, his hand froze in mid-air.

Hadn't Long Xiyue been sent to the Dao Contending Class as a disgrace?

Long Yizhun immediately remembered that Long Xiyue had been sent to the class and shamelessly signed up for the Daoist Skill Academy competition as well.

This not only brought shame to the Long Immortal Clan but also to Long Yizhun himself.

Because of the scandal, he had expelled Long Xiyue, even forbidding her from returning to the clan.

Moreover, he had sent her brother, Long Xiu, away from Everlight Immortal City.

Long Yizhun stood up abruptly, feeling the need to rush to the Great Dao Corridor Plaza and comfort Long Xiyue.

This was not a disgrace; it was a great honor for the Long Immortal Clan.

He couldn't let Xiyue harbor any resentment toward the clan.

"Someone, immediately notify Long Xiu to return to Everlight Immortal City," Long Yizhun instructed urgently as he walked out.

...

North Immortal's Corner.

With the poison gone from his body, Zuo Shanyi was enjoying the sight of flowering immortal plants while drinking with Han Qiqi by the Immortal Flower Pool. Truly a pleasant time.

On the surface, Zuo Shanyi appeared confident, with a strong aura of self-assurance in every gesture.

But only he knew how anxious he felt inside.

Zuo Shanyi knew he had to win Han Qiqi's favor and make her fall for him quickly, becoming her Daoist partner.

Only then could he secure the spot to advance to Immortal Venerated status in the shortest time.

He was certain Ding Huan wouldn't let him off.

For now, Ding Huan hadn't come for him, only because Ding Huan didn't yet have the strength.

Once Ding Huan grew stronger, he would undoubtedly come to the North Immortal's Corner to find him.

The notable name of North Immortal's Corner meant nothing to either him or Ding Huan.

That Ding Huan could eradicate the Demon Clan, the Demon Race, and annihilate the God Clan, would he even care about the North Immortal's Corner?

That man was a madman, fearless of anything.

He had to advance to Immortal Emperor before Ding Huan.

Once an Immortal Emperor, he would see whether he could kill Ding Huan.

If not, he would immediately leave Great Dao Corridor.

So far, his efforts seemed to be paying off, as Han Qiqi was increasingly drawn to his charm.

Han Qiqi increasingly felt that Zuo Shanyi was quite different from other cultivators. His demeanor, insight into the Great Dao, and foresight were all far beyond that of an average cultivator.

Every time she discussed Dao with him, the gains were far greater than from the teachings of top Daoists.

In just a few months, she was slowly falling for Zuo Shanyi's strength and gentleness.

As the atmosphere grew more intimate, Zuo Shanyi raised his glass to move closer to Han Qiqi when a harsh voice called out, "Zuo Shanyi, report to the Law Enforcement Hall of North Immortal's Corner immediately."
