Chapter 328: Chapter 171: Fame Spreads Across the World! (2)

Although he knew that Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing were strong, the problem was that Tang Ruobing was just a Hero Level Spiritualist and had just reached Level 10, while Ye Mingqiu was only Level 4. It would still be quite difficult to get a ranking on the Celestial Ladder.

Of course, this Level 4 might be fake.

Ninetieth position, no…

Eightieth position, no…

Seventieth position, no…

Huh? This doesn’t seem right; there’s nothing even above the seventieth position. How could there be a ranking?

No, no. Since Principal Qu has spoken, I should look further. It’s better to be cautious. Who knows, maybe they are peerless geniuses and jumped straight to above fiftieth place.

Sixtieth position, no…

Fiftieth position, no…

Fortieth position, no either…

Seeing this, Zheng Xuejun’s mindset began to gradually change. Reason told him that without a ranking by now, the likelihood was that the principal’s information was incorrect. But it was unlikely that the principal’s information would be wrong.

He began to harbor a sliver of optimistic expectation. Maybe… maybe they really are a treasure, and they’ve jumped straight to the top twenty?

Thirtieth position, no…

Twentieth position, no…

Tenth position, no…

“Gulp!”

Zheng Xuejun’s throat rolled, and his trembling fingers on the scroll wheel became slightly more agitated, his expression becoming odd as he murmured to himself, “This… could they really be in the top ten? Surely not?”

The rankings continued forward until the fifth position, and there was still no trace of their code names, and he even saw Yalis, a Level 10 Legendary Spiritualist.

Level 10 Legendaries have appeared. Surely they can’t be ahead of the Level 10 Legendaries?

Fourth, Qing Yu, Level 9 Legendary.

Third, Zhen Yue, Level 10 Legendary.

Second, Broken Star, Level 10 Hero.

“What the hell!!!”

Zheng Xuejun finally couldn’t hold it in, and a word slipped out of his mouth, feeling as if his entire worldview had been shattered.

A Level 10 Hero suppressing three Legendaries?

Am I still dreaming!

Who could be first?

Holding onto a curious heart, Zheng Xuejun scrolled further.

First, Divine Monarch, Level 4 Legendary.

“Ahhhhh???”

Zheng Xuejun held his head in disbelief as his brain started to tremble, uttering incoherent sounds, as if the teacher could no longer control his manners.

What did I just see!

What in the world did I just see!!

A Level 4, outpaced all those Level 10 Spiritualists!

Have I woken up?

Is this still reality?

“Slap!”

Zheng Xuejun gave himself a hard slap; it stung painfully. It should not be a dream. With a nervous excitement, he reopened the communication device and logged into his social account, feeling incredibly thrilled.

As soon as the page loaded, a deluge of messages engulfed him, with red @ symbols filling the screen, with messages everywhere.

He clicked into a small group chat where everyone was discussing Chenghai Second Middle School dominating the top two spots on the Celestial Ladder. Some even commented, “If Chenghai Second Middle School only sent two people, they have already dominated the top two. If they sent three, wouldn’t they dominate the top three? If they sent one hundred, wouldn’t they dominate the top hundred?”

What kind of outrageous claims are these!

Enjoying the commotion, aren’t they?

Zheng Xuejun: Hey?

The short two words momentarily quieted down the boisterous group chat, but then a torrent of messages erupted, with all sorts of questions and @s flooding in, completely immersing Zheng Xuejun.

….

In the afternoon, Zheng Xuejun arrived at the holographic projection staff office, beaming with delight, and said with a smile, “I see your work is quite leisurely, how about some overtime?”

Staff member: “?”

“This month’s salary will be increased by 500 bucks.”

“Hey! Director, what are you talking about? Working for the school is my duty, and such minor things like overtime aren’t a problem at all.”

“You should add something to the holographic projection.”

“Add what?”

“Just add a line of bold letters to Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing’s holographic projection names. Make it prominent, grand, the font and style should look nice. Hey! Add ’Ladder Ranking’s Top Spot’ to Ye Mingqiu and change the Professional Level to Legendary Level, and add ’Ladder Ranking’s Second Place’ to Tang Ruobing,” Zheng Xuejun said with a smile.

“Alright…”

The staff member nodded in agreement.

He was just an ordinary person working in the Spiritualist School, responsible for this work, and didn’t know what the Ladder Ranking was, but it sounded impressive. After all, the Director seemed so happy about it, so this job needed to be done well and quickly.

….

Soon, people started to notice the conspicuous Ladder Ranking top spot wording, which piqued their curiosity about what the Ladder Ranking was.

Because they really didn’t know, they truly had no contact with this sort of thing.

But after the school Spiritualists won an award, they began to frantically search for information and asked various friends about it. A Mage of the Magic System revealed that the Ladder Ranking was essentially a top-tier Spiritualists’ ranking competition….

“Oh, so you’re saying our school’s Support System, a Level 4 Support, overturned the entire Tier One of Spiritualists?”

“In theory, yes.”

“Does that make sense?”

“Didn’t you notice something odd? Ye Mingqiu’s Professional Level has turned Legendary.”

“Hmm?”

…

In the exclusive training room

Zheng Xuejun sat in front of Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing with a beaming smile, saying, “Thank you for bringing glory to our school! If you have any requests, feel free to ask. I will do my best to fight for your benefit!”

“A Skill Advancement Book.”

Ye Mingqiu said.

“This…”

Zheng Xuejun’s mouth twitched, feeling it was quite painful. Skill Advancement Books weren’t easily obtained, but Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing were more important to them. The top two spots on the Celestial Ladder had a tremendous significance for Chenghai Second Middle School. Just having their names up there was extremely valuable.

So he gripped his teeth tightly and replied, “I’ll give you each two books, 100 Enhanced Protection Stones, free access to the permissible Little Spirit Realm within the school, unlimited use of all school resources, and you’ll also have the highest priority access.”

Ye Mingqiu found it acceptable, so he turned to Tang Ruobing to seek her opinion.

“I want to collaborate with the school to list my creation ’Magic Guide’ in the official school shopping list and enable trade permissions with Spiritual Points,” Tang Ruobing said.

“This… what’s the price?”

“Not much, just ten thousand Spiritual Points.”

Tang Ruobing replied.

The third on the Celestial Ladder, Zhen Yue’s book ’Tank’s Self-Cultivation’ could be sold for 20k Spiritual Points, so selling her book for 10k wasn’t an issue.

“I’ll help with the application, but whether it’s approved depends on the principal’s decision,” Zheng Xuejun replied.

“Okay.”

Tang Ruobing replied.

Signing a contract with the school was still quite challenging. School products needed valuation and couldn’t be sold at a severely inflated price. It’s irresponsible to the students and not conducive to their development.

“Ding!”

Suddenly, the notification sound from the Spirit Realm rang out, and Ye Mingqiu checked the messages.

Other Shore: The school has new intel.

Other Shore: Want to hear it?

Divine Monarch: Let’s hear it.

Other Shore: Recently, a group has been lurking around our school, detected by my Hidden Guard. He suspects they might be people sent by a hostile force, so he captured them.

Divine Monarch: Have you extracted any info?

Other Shore: Yes, it turns out they are from the Blood God Sect, searching for the ’Demon Contract.’ It’s said to be related to the God of Blood. They suspect it might be in our Chenghai Second Middle School, so they came to investigate.

Other Shore: Unlike before, this time a Tier Three Spiritualist came, quite strong with a tight lip. The Hidden Guard also had to use Soul Search to obtain the intel.

Divine Monarch: Hmm, and then?

Other Shore: To avoid any incidents within the school that might reveal my strength, I simply had the Hidden Guard wipe out the Blood God Sect.

Other Shore: I definitely don’t want anything unexpected to happen while I’m pursuing a girl.

Divine Monarch: True, indeed.
