Chapter 86: Chapter 78 You’re Here

[Chapter 76 has been corrected; the previous last rank was mistakenly stated—apologies]

Xia Mang’s strength test finally ended at 33,823 catties, ranking him within the top three hundred, at the 296th position.

As for the last position of 33,000 catties, the recorder was officially expelled from the list on the Monument of Strength.

Although ranked at the very bottom, this performance was still quite remarkable. Being able to remain on the Monument of Strength meant you were one of the most outstanding three hundred elite students in the history of Xiafeng Academy, proving that one also belonged among these elites.

Seeing this result, the other elite students hurriedly congratulated him, "Congratulations, Mr. Xia, on successfully breaking into the top three hundred. This is indeed a joyous occasion."

"From now on, Mr. Xia will also be one of the most outstanding three hundred individuals in our academy’s history. Congratulations!"

"Thank you all for your concern, thank you," Xia Mang replied with a hearty laugh, clearly very pleased with himself as such an achievement could make any individual prideful—not every elite student from the Heavenly Level Academy could achieve this feat.

"As expected of Mr. Xia, to successfully make it into the top three hundred, truly impressive."

"Incredibly impressive. Those who are commemorated on the Monument of Strength are the strongest three hundred in our academy’s history. Could it be that Mr. Xia is also among the strongest three hundred?"

Feeling the astonished cries from the crowd around the three academies, and the gazes filled with awe and admiration directed his way, Mr. Xia’s vanity was greatly satisfied.

Such attention, such brilliance, was an undeniable honor and something no young person could refuse.

However, Xia Mang’s gaze was more often fixed on Miss Vivian, hoping to earn the admiration and affection of the beautiful lady. After all, who wouldn’t admire a beauty like Vivian, who possessed both talent and a prestigious family background?

Unfortunately for him, Vivian only responded with a slight smile, her gaze clear, and devoid of the expected admiration, which disappointed him.

Seeing this, another elite student, Hua Shaoyang, watched Xia Mang as if facing a great enemy. Almost everyone in Xiafeng Academy knew of his pursuit of Vivian, but it was a hopeless unrequited love, as Vivian always kept Hua Shaoyang at a distance.

Watching Xia Mang proudly secure a spot within the top three hundred, Ye Chen shook his head. Was such a feat really worth pride?

After Xia Mang’s test, it was time for the other elite students to attempt it, with Li Hu, Hua Shaoyang, and two other men proceeding to test in turn.

As they stepped up to test, the Martial Arts Arena was continuously filled with exclamations, the audience applauding non-stop. Today was truly an eye-opening day, worthy of the elite students from the Heavenly Level Academy, where everyone who attempted the test passed the green radiance threshold, showing they all were extraordinary.

In fact, when it was Hua Shaoyang’s turn, he surpassed Mr. Xia with a strength of 33,871 catties, ranking at two hundred and ninety-fifth, causing Mr. Xia’s expression to slightly change.

Among them, Li Hu was the most impressive. True to his towering broad stature, he stood before the Monument of Strength like a small hill, suddenly shouting loudly as his enormous fist struck the monument.

With a booming sound, the whole monument vibrated, and an intense green radiance flared up, illuminating the entire Martial Arts Arena and catching the attention of students in the distance.

Eventually, a streak of blue light appeared amidst the green radiance, and the displayed strength on the Monument of Strength turned out to be a staggering 37,000 catties, placing him in the two hundred eighty-sixth position, drawing cries of astonishment from the audience.

So impressive, to achieve 37,000 catties—what terrifying strength, truly awe-inspiring.

Yet, to the other elite students, this result was not at all surprising, for they all deeply knew that Li Hu was not just an Innate Strong Person; he was also a cultivator who trained both internally and externally.

He had also achieved accomplishments on the Body Refining Path. Among those of the same level, few could compare to his physical strength alone, hence his test not only measured his innate strength but also his physical strength.

Therefore, it was only natural that his result surpassed the others.

Finally, it was Vivian’s turn to test.

All eyes in the arena were fixed on the young girl as if she were a fairy drawing everyone’s attention. Dressed in a light-green gown and moving as gracefully as a drifting willow, she lightly stepped up to the Monument of Strength, capturing everyone’s gaze.

Vivian fixed her eyes on the Monument of Strength, took a deep breath, her expression gradually becoming solemn. Her hands moved in front of her, concentrating True Essence Power, and a powerful aura, unlike any before, began to emanate from her, seemingly emptying the very air around her.

Everyone, including Mr. Xia, Hua Shaoyang, Li Hu, and other elite students, suddenly changed their expression, not expecting Miss Vivian to be so powerful.

Miss Vivian let out a light shout and suddenly made her move, slapping with her bare hand, and the force burst forth, pounding the Power Stele.

Boom—

The Power Stele trembled slightly, and then the colors red, orange, and yellow flashed swiftly, followed by a surge of green light that quickly deepened until finally, after everyone gasped, the green radiance slowly faded to reveal a strand of blue light that overshadowed all the green, capturing everyone’s attention.

A blue radiance on the stele indicated a force exceeding thirty-five thousand pounds!

It was unexpected that Miss Vivian, a lady, could be so formidable, her strength surpassing that of Hua Shaoyang, Xia Mang, and four other men, causing their complexions to change slightly, completely beyond their imagination.

Clearly, Miss Vivian’s cultivation was superior to the men mentioned.

The blue radiance spread quickly until all the green had turned to blue, and the colors stabilized.

On the Power Stele, the strength value rapidly increased, finally stopping at a specific figure—

Forty-one thousand two hundred forty-eight pounds!

Suddenly, the arena burst into an uproar!

With this result, everyone was stunned, staring unbelievably at the strength value displayed on the Power Stele.

Had it not been for the Power Stele’s unfailing accuracy, people would have doubted this outcome.

After all, even a both internally and externally trained strong cultivator like Li Hu had only reached thirty-seven thousand pounds, so it was conceivable how much more formidable Miss Vivian’s cultivation was compared to Li Hu.

Had it not been for the Power Stele measuring the strength, everyone would have thought there had been a mistake.

Finally, Miss Vivian’s name transformed into a streak of light, swiftly entering the two hundred twenty-seventh spot, ranking higher than everyone else and destined to leave her distinguished name engraved on the stele.

The lady in red, beautiful and charming, was the first to come forward with a giggle, her lovely face bewitching, barely less so than Miss Vivian, looping her arm through hers and smiling, "I didn’t expect my sister to be so formidable. It seems your cultivation has rapidly increased lately, truly a cause for congratulations."

Miss Vivian’s cheeks blushed slightly, "Sister, you jest, it is just a slight improvement."

"To call that a slight improvement, seems like sister has fallen behind," the lady in red sighed.

Xia Mang, Li Hu, Hua Shaoyang, and others hastened forward, clasping their fists in congratulation, each fervently offering praise, "Congratulations to Miss Vivian for securing the two hundred twenty-seventh spot on the Power Stele."

"Miss Vivian truly deserves to be one of our Academy’s four great beauties, talented and beautiful, truly the heavenly pride girl."

"Naturally, as one of our Academy’s heavenly pride girls, Miss Vivian achieving such a score is to be expected."

Facing such nearly blatant flattery, Vivian discreetly stepped back a little, maintaining enough distance, gently shaking her head without a hint of pride, markedly humble.

Ye Chen, watching from afar, was equally surprised by the young lady’s success and smiled, although she couldn’t see him, it was his way of extending congratulations.

It was as if by some strange intuition, Miss Vivian suddenly felt an unusual sensation and quickly turned to scan the surrounding crowd, with a premonition that a person of great significance to her had arrived.

A girl’s sixth sense is often important; relying on this mysterious feeling, her gaze finally fell on a youth’s figure outside the crowd, deeply familiar as if etched in her soul, unforgettable.

Seeing this familiar young man, her face suddenly blossomed into a stunningly captivating smile, as if it could outshine the sun and moon, leaving everyone spellbound.

"You’ve arrived."

PS: The book is currently eighth on the new book list in the book city. Although it’s a decent achievement, I am somewhat ambitious and would like to push into the top five. If I make it into the top five next time, I wouldn’t mind adding a few more Chapters, depending on everyone’s sincerity, haha. The next update will be a bit later.
