Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was currently 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon and seven to eight hours since ng Lei and the others had entered the Dragon God Tower.
After Dragon God Academy played host to the teachers-in-charge and held a welcoming banquet in their na, the teachers also began their own leisure ti.
So of the teachers went directly to the Dragon God Tower. Among them were President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president.
Had it been during the past years, there wouldn’t have been anything much to watch. After all, it wasn’t like there were any decent geniuses around. What was the point of watching others’ performances?
However, that wasn’t the case this year. There was much to look forward to!
“Given ng Lei’s strength, if he stays sowhat careful and cautious, there won’t be much of a problem for him to pass through the first 30 levels. It’s enough for him to place in the ranking.”
“Instead of 30 levels, he just needs to pass through 22 levels, and he’ll have a chance of placing in the ranking. There’s also much hope for that Francis kid...”
President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president idly chatted the whole way idly as they headed over. Soon, they reached the Dragon God Tower.
At that mont, the area in front of the Dragon God Tower was already packed with people. They gesticulated and speculated among themselves, creating quite the lively atmosphere.
“What the heck? The contestants from the 15 kingdoms and 48 dukedoms are really impressive this ti! Quite a few have actually made it into the ranking!”
“Isn’t that so? The most impressive one is already ranked 487th. That’s 487th in history! How aweso!”
“Tsk, tsk. They passed through the 30th level so easily. Impressive!”
“If I recall correctly, it hasn’t even been eight hours since they entered the Dragon God Tower, right?”
“Seems like it...”
Upon hearing their speculations, President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president both looked at the huge magic screen, and then their gaze slowly went all the way up.
“No. 972: Francis Matthew, Frost Dragon Person, 28 years old, Level 23”
“Did you see that? As expected, Francis has made it into the ranking!” President Fred remarked cheerfully, “That little fellow is certainly not bad. He didn’t disgrace you!”
“He’s alright, I guess. He can’t compare to ng Lei!”
The Fighting Dragon Academy president adopted an awfully humble attitude. However, he couldn’t hide the smile on his lips, no matter what he did. One mustn’t be fooled by how the 972nd placent seed rather low—it was more than enough to prove Francis’ shocking talent!
One must know that the Dragon God Genius Ranking was a ranking in which all geniuses competed against one another on the sa platform in the recent 40,000-odd years.
Choosing 1,000 people over the course of 40,000 years—just how fierce was the competition? Just how many people desired to place in the ranking, yet failed?
Being able to make it into the ranking was the symbol of one’s strength itself.
Being able to make it into the ranking was the symbol of one’s talent itself.
It was no exaggeration to say that every one of those that could place in the ranking was a genius whose na would remain forever in history.
They had enormous potential, and the Saint Domain realm was within sight for them.
President Fred gave him a smile in response, and then his gaze continued to go up the ranking.
“Oh hey! Isn’t that Fred and Fighting Dragon?”
A sinister voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
“Why is it that old fogey again!”
The two of them broke into frowns at the sa ti. The voice was all they needed to know who had just arrived. Aside from that loathso old Black Dragon, who else could it be?
“Why are the two of you interested in the Dragon God Genius Ranking, too?”
Indeed, the person who had just arrived was Angus, the academy president of Black Dragon Academy. His gaze flickered over to the Dragon God Genius Ranking, and then he broke into a smile so wide that his countenance beca all wrinkled. “That Isaiah kid hasn’t disappointed ! He has ranked 692nd and reached Level 28. He didn’t let all my grooming of him go to waste!”
Upon hearing his words, President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president couldn’t help but look at the person in 692nd place.
“No. 692: Isaiah Thomas, Black Dragon Person, 26 years old, Level 28”
“26 years old!”
“Level 28!”
“That fellow has pretty good talent!”
President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president exchanged a look, both seeing the astonishnt in each other’s eyes.
To pass through the 28th level, one must be at least a ninth-grade pinnacle-level expert and possess great mastery of the universe’s montum.
For him to possess this level of strength at the age of 26, he was astonishingly talented for sure.
“I’ve heard that a few geniuses have also erged from your academies. I wonder if they’ve placed in the ranking yet? Which positions are they in? How are they doing in comparison to our academy’s Isaiah?”
Angus asked cheerfully, “Since ti immorial, the Fire Dragon Academy and the Fighting Dragon Academy have always been elite academies where geniuses erge in every generation. I’m sure there must be extraordinary geniuses in this batch of students, too?”
“Stop acting so smug, Angus!”
President Fred was soone with a blunt and straightforward temperant. He couldn’t help but snort and say, “Isn’t it just the 692nd position? What’s so great about that!”
“Yes! It certainly isn’t anything great!”
Angus didn’t flare up. Instead, he was all smiles as he replied, “Since that’s what you’re saying, Fred, then I’m sure the Fire Dragon Magic Academy must have an even more outstanding genius?”
“Hurhur! Of course!”
President Fred snorted, and then he quickly looked at where the 487th place was in the ranking. He believed that that must be where ng Lei ranked.
However, he was disappointed.
“No. 487: Derrick, Golden Colossal Dragon, 30 years old, Level 31”
“It’s not ng Lei?”
Fred looked absolutely stupefied. He had thought that the genius in 487th place must be ng Lei for sure. After all, among the geniuses of the 15 kingdoms and 48 dukedoms, ng Lei was the most outstanding one for sure.
Therefore, ng Lei’s position must be the highest. Who else could it other than ng Lei that had co in 487th place?
However, the truth was that... it wasn’t ng Lei.
“What exactly is that fellow doing?”
President Fred was rather anxious. However, it was at this mont that bursts of exclamations reached his ears.
“What the heck? That guy from just now has sped all the way to 469th place!”
“469th? He’s sped all the way there so quickly?”
“Did that guy take a Rage potion or what?”
“469th?”
Upon hearing what they said, President Fred, the Fighting Dragon Academy president, and Angus, the muscular old man, looked at the 469th position almost all at the sa ti.
The mont they did, all three of them had different reactions.
President Fred heaved a long breath of relief while the Fighting Dragon Academy president’s countenance was full of marvel, the words “I knew it!” all over his face.
Angus, however, gasped and reacted as if he had just seen a ghost. “He’s reached Level 32 when he’s only 16 years old? Wait a minute! 16 years old!? How can that be!?”
The gasps of astonishnt around them weren’t any less intense than his. All those who had noticed the person in 469th place were astounded by what they had just seen.
“No. 469: ng Lei, Human, 16 years old, Level 32”
“For one to pass through Dragon God Tower’s 32nd level, they must at least possess the strength of a Saint Domain. In other words, that 16-year-old little fellow already possesses the strength of a Saint Domain?”
“16 years old?”
“Saint Domain?”
“Is he even human?”
“He must be a freak?”
“I really wonder where that mutant ca from! For him to beco a Saint Domain at 16 years old, he’s totally a monster on a level among the top ten—no, the top three of history!”
“He must be from the 15 kingdoms and 48 dukedoms! Otherwise, a genius on a level among the top few of history like that would have made it into the ranking a long ti ago! He wouldn’t have waited until today to challenge the Dragon God Tower!”
“That makes sense! I wonder which kingdom he’s from...”
Upon hearing the crowd’s gasps of astonishnt, a complex look ca over Angus’ countenance. “I didn’t expect that a monster like that has actually erged from us 15 kingdoms and 48 dukedoms! This is truly unbelievable!”
A 16-year-old Saint Domain!
He was only a notch inferior to Timon Barton, the number one in history.
That firmly made him the number two in history.
The number two person over the course of 40,000 years! How amazing was that?
At Angus’ exclamation of admiration, President Fred smiled so widely that his visage was all wrinkled. He said, “That ng Lei kid hasn’t disappointed , after all! Coming in at 469th place and going up to Level 32, he didn’t let all my grooming of him go to waste!”
The Fighting Dragon Academy president cast a glance at Angus and also remarked sarcastically, “Although he can’t compare with soone else’s genius from the Black Dragon Academy, he still did pretty well!”
(⊙o⊙)
At his words, Angus’ countenance imdiately froze. “Fred, that mutant at 469th place is from the Fire Dragon Magic Academy?”
“Yes! Is sothing wrong?”
“...”
