89: The freshman competition begins, magic wall?

In the following days, the new student area became lively, because according to tradition, a New Student Competition is held two to three months after new students are admitted each year.

This competition is the first time new students, after entering the Academy, compete with so many Prodigies at Saintly Way Academy, and for them, it is also a form of encouragement and training.

The new students who entered were all in the prime of their youth, highly valuing reputation and fame, so this competition was a great opportunity for them to show their edge, and each one was eager to participate.

Of course, besides that, the New Student Competition also offers excellent rewards; those who achieve better rankings will receive better resources.

However, Qin Ding had no interest in such a competition.

Because for him to participate in this New Student Competition would be like a fish in a barrel, bullying the weak.

Not to mention whether anyone could threaten him, even if all these new students combined, they probably wouldn't pose any threat to Qin Ding.

So he chose to withdraw from this New Student Competition, and the Academy's instructors didn't say anything about it, because indeed, with Qin Ding's strength, joining such a competition would completely disrupt the rules of the game.

However, even though Qin Ding wouldn't participate, it didn't stop him from watching the excitement.

The so-called balance between work and rest, Cultivation also requires moderation; he had suffered a lot recently, and his Physical Body was still recuperating and recovering, so he couldn't use Thunder Marrow Liquid to Cultivate for the time being. Thus, Qin Ding chose to relax.

Of course, Qin Ding wasn't the only one watching the excitement; many older students from Saintly Way Academy also went to observe.

Because although these new students might seem a bit naive in the eyes of many older students, there are also some with monstrous talents among them. After a few years of Cultivation, they will quickly make a name for themselves within the Academy.

Most of the people currently on the Holy Spirit Rankings displayed their edge and performed well in previous New Student Competitions.

For the New Student Competition, Saintly Way Academy specially arranged an extremely vast mountain range to host it. When the new students arrived, they saw several mighty Auras surging in the sky.

Then, three figures appeared, suspended in the air. These three figures were all dressed in white robes, with serious expressions, and each had a different Aura surrounding their bodies.

As soon as they appeared, almost everyone present instinctively fell silent. Both new and old students looked at the three figures in the sky with awe.

"Two Great Powers, one Supreme."

Qin Ding also squinted slightly, looking at the three in the air.

No Saint appeared, which was within Qin Ding's expectations.

After all, under normal circumstances, Saints wouldn't be so bored as to come and preside over these matters. It was already quite good for one Supreme to appear.

After all, for Great Power and Supreme level Cultivators to oversee a competition among a group of Dao Palace Realm Cultivators was more than enough.

Below, the Supreme began to give the usual introductory speech and explain the rules of the New Student Competition, and then announced the start of the New Student Competition.

With the start of the New Student Competition, the new students began to rush into the mountain range.

The older students, from a condescending perspective above, watched these new students enter.

"Isn't that person also a new student? Why isn't he going in?"

Immediately, someone noticed that Qin Ding was also wearing a new student's academy uniform.

"It seems you haven't been paying attention to the Academy's major events in the past few months. You don't even know him? Qin Ding, the contemporary Saint of the Supreme Power Qin Family. Don't let his young age deceive you, he is already a Soul Fire Realm Cultivator. Not long ago, he hung an older student who was bullying new students on a tree in the new student area. Chu Xiong, ranked ninety-second on the Holy Spirit Rankings, went to demand an explanation and ended up getting a severe beating."

"Holy crap, that fierce? Is that true?"

"As the dignified Saint of the Qin Family, Young Master of a major power, wouldn't it be more comfortable for him to just be a Young Master? Why did he have to come to our Academy?"

"Needless to say, it must be for the Three Secrets."

Many older students whispered and discussed, looking in Qin Ding's direction.

Of course, despite the discussions, no one sought trouble. After all, even someone ranked ninety-second on the Holy Spirit Rankings suffered a setback; wouldn't they just be humiliating themselves by going up?

However, as Qin Ding was observing the performance of these new students, the Supreme figure moved and appeared before him.

"Senior Supreme," Qin Ding said, nodding slightly.

"Holy Son of the Qin Family, what do you think of these new students from our Saintly Way Academy?" This Supreme did not put on airs in front of Qin Ding, because he knew that with the other party's talent, surpassing himself would be too easy, and his future achievements would probably be beyond his own reach.

"There are indeed a few good seedlings. They haven't received too many good resources, but if they are guided and nurtured properly, their future is promising."

Qin Ding also had good judgment, and he could vaguely sense Luck. Some of these new students had quite good Luck.

"Holy Son, you must have come for the Three Secrets. When do you plan to contend for the qualification for the Three Secrets?" the Supreme asked.

"It will be this year's Three Secrets qualification. If I wait another three years, I don't know what Realm I'll be in by then. I won't be an Academy student anymore and won't be able to contend for a spot. Only this year do I still have the qualification," Qin Ding said without hiding anything.

"Contend for the Three Secrets qualification this year?"

The Supreme and Qin Ding were the most important figures at the scene, and their conversation naturally attracted a lot of attention. Qin Ding had not hidden anything when he spoke earlier, so if these older students listened carefully, they should have been able to hear it with their spiritual power.

Many older students clicked their tongues. This Qin Ding was too arrogant! The Three Secrets qualification required being among the top three on the Holy Spirit Rankings. Could he really compare to the top three on the Holy Spirit Rankings in his first year at the Academy?

And he also said that he wouldn't know what Realm he'd be in after three more years, clearly implying that in three years, he would have definitely reached the Rebuilding Realm.

How old would he be in three years? Only a little over ten, right?

Reaching the Rebuilding Realm before the age of thirty gives one the potential to challenge for Saint. For you to reach the Rebuilding Realm in your teens, you're practically trying to turn the world upside down!

Many older students dismissed Qin Ding's words as boasting, as they seemed very unrealistic to them.

Of course, some older students took it to heart and had already spread the news.

The Supreme of Saintly Way Academy did not comment on Qin Ding's words. He just smiled faintly and said, "I see, Holy Son of the Qin Family, you haven't been to our Academy's Treasure Art Wall yet, have you? That's also an important place in our Academy. It has many Treasure Arts carved on it, and it even contains Holy Arts. Holy Son, you can try it and see if your talent allows you to comprehend a Holy Art from it."

"If you can comprehend a Holy Art, it will also improve your combat power."

Treasure Art Wall?

Qin Ding didn't know about this thing. The Qin Family didn't tell him, and Qin Ning didn't tell him either.

However, he later realized that with his status, he shouldn't lack Treasure Arts in the Qin Family, so Qin Ning might have thought he didn't need them and didn't mention it.

Indeed, he didn't lack Treasure Arts, he even had Immortal Arts.

However, Qin Ding seemed to have never learned a Holy Art.
