103: Chapter 100 Fang Yu's True Ranking

On the electronic display screen, the combat rankings only listed the top 200.

Like these newly promoted Senior Martial Artists such as Fang Yu, because they had not previously participated in the combat assessment, they were temporarily not included in the list.

"Students of Huguang Martial Arts University whose life level exceeds Level 30 number over 200." Fang Yu thought to himself, and after thinking about it slightly, he felt it was normal.

Like Bai Chen, Qin Yang, and the others, if they cultivated hard for another year and with their techniques improving further, it would not be difficult for their life level to reach Level 30 by their fifth year.

"The fourth-year Earth Contract Students — almost all of them are on this list." Fang Yu swept his gaze roughly again and saw many relatively familiar names.

It's just that most of their rankings were near the back.

Su Yi had the highest ranking at 67th.

As for third-year students, only Wei Mo made the list, and the rest were all fifth-year students — perhaps for older Martial Artists in their forties or fifties, a ten-year age gap had very little impact on strength.

But for Martial Artists in their golden age, before reaching Level 39.9, for every year difference, there was a huge gap in life level.

For some top Geniuses, even a gap of a few months would be very obvious.

"Wanjin, Su Yi, Shen Yinqiu."

"You three, enter the combat rooms on the second, third, and fourth floors respectively for the assessment." Teacher Jiang Wei spoke directly: "After the combat assessment ends, you may exit the room and return to the first floor."

"Yes."

Wanjin and the other two moved their figures and quickly went upstairs, while the others looked at the leaderboard on the electronic display screen.

Because the combat assessment was not broadcasted live, and the recordings also belonged to personal privacy, they were only handed over to the school for safekeeping.

Therefore.

What everyone could observe were only the changes in the leaderboard.

Just a few minutes later, Su Yi's ranking jumped from 67th to 65th, and afterwards, he walked down the stairs with a trace of helplessness on his face.

"So fast?" Fang Yu felt slightly surprised.

"Not fast." An Earth Contract Student nearby laughed and said: "Fang Yu, this is your first time coming for a combat assessment, so you don't know."

"The combat assessment increases in difficulty sequentially, but for us veterans, the opponents we initially face are the opponents we were defeated by last time."

"Simply put, if compared to clearing stages in a game, you will start clearing from the first stage — whereas we will directly start clearing from the ninth or tenth stage."

"Students with higher rankings generally have stronger strength and talent, so it is very difficult to advance even a single spot in this combat assessment." This student said patiently.

Fang Yu couldn't help nodding. So that was how it was.

At this moment.

"Wanjin is 66th now." A student pointed at the change on the leaderboard and shouted.

Everyone else couldn't help looking over. The biggest highlight of this monthly assessment so far was Fang Yu.

Next was Wanjin, to see if he could truly surpass Su Yi.

"The ranking has changed!"

"He has surpassed Su Yi, he's 64th." Someone exclaimed: "He actually surpassed Su Yi, Wanjin is really amazing."

"Is the number one person of the fourth year about to change hands?"

"62nd now."

"Could he directly rush into the top 60?" Many people's hearts were filled with curiosity.

"This Wanjin is a bit interesting. Is he improving this fast?" Fang Yu was also quite interested. He also knew that the other party was an Inner Sect Disciple of Xia Kaishan.

Coupled with the fact that Wanjin had been secretly inquiring about his matters before, Fang Yu also had an extra bit of vigilance toward Wanjin and had a slight understanding of the other party's strength.

Looking at it now, he seemed to have still underestimated the other party.

At this time, Shen Yinqiu appeared on the stairs. Her combat ranking didn't change much, only rising by one spot. This was also the norm; fourth-year students were progressing, but fifth-year students were also improving themselves just the same.

"58th!!"

"Wanjin's ranking has improved again."

"He really rushed into the top 60." A chorus of exclamations rang out.

Being able to rush into the top 60 just a few months into the fourth year and surpass a large number of fifth-year students was enough to prove that Wanjin's technical talent was also extremely high.

Swoosh! More than twenty seconds later, Wanjin appeared at the top of the stairs, walking quickly to meet everyone's gazes. Clearly, his combat assessment had already ended, and his eyes were extremely bright.

In just one month, he rushed from 72nd all the way to 58th in one go.

It could be said that his progress this month was astonishing.

"Su Yi, I have surpassed you. Now, I am the number one in combat." Wanjin gave Su Yi a rather provocative look, very excited.

Working hard for three years.

Not only did his life level reach number one in the fourth year, but he even secured number one in combat.

"Humph? You are number one in combat?" Su Yi sneered: "Surpassing me is nothing. Fang Yu's life level is 30.7, so whether you can get number one in combat is still hard to say."

Wanjin frowned slightly, but didn't speak again.

Su Yi's words were precisely what he worried about in his heart — if Fang Yu's life level was only Level 29 or just reached Level 30, then even if Fang Yu's techniques were slightly higher, he would still be confident in suppressing Fang Yu.

But Fang Yu's life level was 30.7.

Although it still seemed slightly lower than his, this kind of gap could be completely made up for with powerful techniques.

"Good, everyone has made progress. Wanjin has made the greatest progress, very good." Teacher Jiang Wei smiled and did not stint his praise for Wanjin, then continued: "Fang Yu, Luo Runqing — you three enter the combat rooms in turn."

"Yes!"

Fang Yu and the other three turned into streams of light, rushed into the stairs, and quickly went upstairs.

"It's Fang Yu's turn."

"How high do you think Fang Yu can rush to?"

"At least 100th, right."

"100th, who are you looking down on? I think he won't be worse than Wanjin."

"I feel the same way. Maybe he can rush to around 50th." Many students whispered among themselves.

Elite students, like Bai Chen and Qin Yang, were not very clear about the entry standards for the Student Manor.

Coupled with the fact that Fang Yu was previously a junior college student — therefore, in their subconscious, even if Fang Yu's techniques were stronger than Wanjin and Su Yi's, they shouldn't be too much stronger.

If he were much stronger, how could he have always stayed in a junior college?

"Associate Professor Tang, how high can Fang Yu rush to? 30th?" Teacher Jiang Wei couldn't help looking curiously at Associate Professor Tang.

The other teachers also looked over with curiosity.

They all knew that Fang Yu possessed the Inner Scenery Technique, so their judgment would be more accurate than the students'.

"Just watch." Tang Jianxin smiled faintly.

Inside the second-floor combat room.

Fang Yu rapidly put on his battle uniform and protective gear, and chose a battle blade — for the fairness of the assessment, all assessment items were not allowed to be taken outside.

"Let's see how far I can go." Fang Yu swept his gaze across.

He saw twenty humanoid martial arts robots standing on both sides, their facial expressions extremely realistic as they looked at Fang Yu.

"Student Fang Yu."

"In view of your first time participating in the combat assessment, based on your personal information and life level, the assessment will start from Level 3 difficulty." A cold voice resounded in the hall: "If you fail, the assessment difficulty will be reduced to Level 2.5 — if you succeed, the difficulty will gradually increase until you ultimately fail."

"Please get ready, assessment countdown: 10, 9 —"

Fang Yu came to the center of the arena.

Level 3 difficulty?

How strong could it be?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Three humanoid robots, holding unsharpened battle blades, slowly walked forward and surrounded Fang Yu in the middle, each with an indifferent expression.

"— 2! The assessment begins." Accompanied by the end of the countdown.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! The three humanoid martial arts robots moved instantly, their speeds simultaneously skyrocketing to an astonishing level as they rushed toward Fang Yu, and the battle blades in their hands slashed toward Fang Yu at the very same time.

If it were an ordinary Level 30 Martial Artist facing this kind of siege, it would definitely be extremely perilous.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

Several blade lights erupted like lightning, and the three humanoid martial arts robots rolled and flew backward simultaneously, crashing into the walls surrounding the combat room, rolling before getting back up.

Too fast.

In a single exchange, Fang Yu had already defeated the three humanoid martial arts robots.

"Too weak."

"This Level 3 difficulty is far lower in intensity than my usual combat training." Fang Yu couldn't help shaking his head.

The three humanoid martial arts robots all displayed a Level 30 life level, but their techniques were merely at Micro-consummation, and even their blade techniques hadn't reached Micro.

How could they not be defeated instantly?

"Assessment difficulty increased, upgraded to Level 6." The cold voice instantly sounded: "Please get ready, assessment countdown: 10, 9 —"

The assessment difficulty directly skyrocketed from Level 3 to Level 6.

Clearly.

The blade technique strength Fang Yu had just displayed made the assessment System's intelligence determine that the normal sequential increase in assessment difficulty had no major meaning at all.

"Come on." Fang Yu was very excited: "Let me see what rank my current combat ranking can actually be placed at in Huguang Martial Arts University."

Combat Building, first floor, all students and teachers were staring at the changes on the leaderboard.

"He's on the list."

"122nd."

"So fast to make the list? And directly 122nd? He certainly didn't start from Level 1 difficulty, probably Level 2 or maybe Level 3."

"Yeah, his life level is 30.7, so the initial difficulty must be a bit higher."

"His ranking will continue to rise." Numerous discussions broke out. No one thought 122nd was Fang Yu's end point; this was definitely just a beginning.

Only a dozen seconds later.

"57th!!"

"Oh my god, what did I just see? Jumping directly from 122nd to 57th? Directly surpassing Wanjin, how is this possible?"

"This ranking improvement is too exaggerated." Shock rippled through the crowd.

All the students looked as if they had seen a ghost, and even those Earth Contract Students didn't look any better.

When they conducted the combat assessment, being able to improve their ranking by ten spots was already considered a "major Breakthrough".

What about Fang Yu?

Swish, swish, swish, he rushed straight to the front ranks.

"Haha, 57th, 57th is great, well done Fang Yu." Su Yi laughed loudly, even happier than when his own ranking improved.

"57th, just happens to surpass Wanjin."

"How long did Wanjin's number one in combat status last?"

"Two minutes? One minute?" Many people noticed Wanjin's rather ugly expression, and they all felt that Wanjin was somewhat pitiful.

Having managed to rush to number one in combat.

Not to mention his seat wasn't even warm yet, he hadn't even started sitting down before he was knocked off the top spot by Fang Yu.

"My bodily technique is at the Micro-limit, and I have also mastered the Micro-level blade technique, and my life level is much higher than his — yet I was surpassed so quickly." Wanjin couldn't quite believe it: "Even if he uses the Inner Scenery Technique, it shouldn't be this easy."

Whether Fang Yu possessed the Inner Scenery Technique or not was something many students were unclear about.

But Wanjin knew.

Time ticked away minute by minute.

Everyone continued to stare, wanting to see if Fang Yu's ranking could continue to rise.

Fang Yu didn't make them wait too long.

"The ranking has risen again."

"This rise is simply too fast!"

"It has jumped a huge chunk again, too abnormal." All the students felt it was incredible.

Earth Contract Students like Wanjin and Su Yi, and even teachers like Teacher Jiang Wei, stared in shock at that brand-new name on the leaderboard — 22nd, Fang Yu.

Fang Yu's ranking made a huge leap once again, directly rising from 57th to 22nd.

This magnitude of improvement had reached a terrifying level, even more astonishing than the previous rise.

You must know that the higher the ranking, the harder it was to improve.

"Could the equipment be broken?"

"Or could Fang Yu's life level be more than 30.7? But the life detector couldn't possibly make a mistake."

"Too fierce."

"His bodily technique must have reached the Inner Scenery level." Of course, no one truly believed the equipment was broken; such a probability was too low.

It's just that Fang Yu's strength improvement was too exaggerated, exaggerated to a somewhat unreal degree.

22nd place!

What concept was this?

On the combat leaderboard, the students ranked in the top 30 were all fifth-year Earth Contract Students.

They had cultivated for a longer time, and their life levels were generally above Level 32.

There were even plenty at Level 33 and Level 34.

In other words, Fang Yu's combat strength had already surpassed quite a few fifth-year Earth Contract Students.

Furthermore, Fang Yu's combat assessment was still ongoing and was far from over.

"Can it go even higher?"

"Impossible!"

"This is already 22nd, can he still charge forward?"

"I remember that during last year's Blue Moon High School Martial Arts Competition selection battle, Senior Yan Tianheng surpassed numerous fifth-year students, charged into the top ten of the combat rankings in one fell swoop, and ultimately ranked 3rd, creating a miracle." Many people couldn't help recalling that madness created by Yan Tianheng last year.

At that time, Yan Tianheng's name had spread throughout the school.

From the first year to the fifth year, everyone knew it and everyone understood it.

Looking at it now, Fang Yu seemed to have signs of replicating the miracle.

"Hard to say."

"Senior Yan Tianheng's fame had been widespread from the first year to the fifth year. I remember Senior Yan Tianheng's life level exceeded Level 34 back then — no matter how fast Fang Yu progresses, he is ultimately only at Level 30.7, so his combat couldn't possibly catch up to Yan Tianheng of the same period, right?" Although many people were shocked by Fang Yu's terrifying speed of progress, they still had doubts.

Being able to enter the Student Manor showed that Fang Yu was indeed formidable.

But sub-consciously.

Except for Associate Professor Tang who had always been teaching Fang Yu, a crowd of teachers including Teacher Jiang Wei did not believe he could truly rival Yan Tianheng.

After all, Yan Tianheng's fame was too great.

He was the strongest enrolled student of Huguang Martial Arts University in the past ten years recognized by all teachers and students of the school.

He was recognized as a peerless Genius expected to promote to an Earth Martial Artist before graduation.

"He definitely cannot go any higher; any higher and it will be troublesome."

"Yan Tianheng, that is a Tier 2 Starry Sky Seed — Fang Yu must definitely not catch up to Yan Tianheng." Wanjin's heart was also quite flustered.

He knew that even if Fang Yu's ranking didn't continue to rise, it would already be troublesome.

At this moment, he could only silently pray that Fang Yu's ranking wouldn't rise anymore.

This time, the waiting time was exceptionally long.

For a full three minutes, the other two students who entered at the same time had long since finished their assessments.

Yet Fang Yu's ranking had not changed, nor did he appear on the stairs.

Suddenly!

Swish~ The rankings on the oversized display screen abruptly refreshed, and one of the names jumped once again — 9th, Fang Yu.
