Ultimate Ranking Competition!
Upon hearing these five words, among the more than two hundred people present, quite a few were noticeably invigorated.
Many of them were exceptionally powerful Martial Artists among the tens of millions being assessed this ti, and they had absolute confidence in their ability to join one of the nine great god academies.
The previous assessnts hadn't worried them in the slightest.
What they cared about most, of course, was this final ranking, the ultimate battle!
After all, securing a good ranking in the nine great god academies' assessnt, especially being in the top ten or even first place, wasn't just about the honor of joining the god academies, it was about making a na for oneself throughout the entire Divine Kingdom!
Joining the nine great god academies was only the beginning.
They naturally wanted to enter the god academies with an imposing presence and a formidable reputation, to ensure that even the senior disciples would not dare to underestimate them!
In the crowd, Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan were the most excited.
"It's here, the final showdown has finally arrived."
Tianyu Beiling's eyes flickered as he glanced sidelong at Ye Chen.
Although he had been profoundly shaken by Ye Chen's performance, he was equally discontented, as he had not yet had the chance to face Ye Chen in combat.
To concede defeat without even fighting was sothing Tianyu Beiling was unwilling to accept!
He still rembered what his grandfather had told him, that if he took first place, he would receive a Supre Heavenly Divine Treasure from Divine Dragon Mountain.
A Supre Heavenly Divine Treasure!
Tianyu Beiling naturally wanted it!
And to obtain this Supre Heavenly Divine Treasure, he had to defeat Ye Chen, defeat everyone, and seize the first place!
Mo Yuan, too, was more solemn than he had ever been before.
The others might not know, but Mo Yuan was clear that his true strength had yet to be fully unleashed.
In the prior assessnts, whether it was comprehending the Bloodlight Blade Technique or braving the Wind Origin Tower, he hadn't pushed himself to his limit.
But in this final first-place battle, he would certainly hold nothing back.
Because this was his only chance to show his true power!
The one who attracted the most attention in the arena was Ye Chen.
Because countless people knew that Ye Chen would definitely launch an all-out assault for the first place in the nine great god academies' assessnt.
After all, this was the demand of both Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King.
If others failed to take first place it might not an much, but if Ye Chen didn't secure first place, he would face confinent by the two Sovereigns for ten thousand years.
This naturally brought nurous gazes to rest on Ye Chen.
Quite a few even thought that if Ye Chen failed to take first place in the end, no matter how well he had perford before, it would all be for naught.
At this mont, Ye Chen, who was seemingly under imnse pressure, did not appear worried or flustered as others might have expected; instead, his expression remained calm, his eyes even more radiant with determination!
Striving for first place in the nine great god academies' assessnt?!
Ye Chen naturally had to compete for it!
Not only because it was the first of the three demands made by the two Sovereigns, which he had to fulfill.
But also because, unknown to everyone else, just as the six-star Sovereign announced the final ultimate ranking competition, Ye Chen had finally heard a voice.
A voice regarding the third stage of the God King's Legacy left behind by Sovereign Feng Luo!
The God King's Legacy had stated that Ye Chen would have to pass three stages of trials in this assessnt to truly qualify for the God King's Legacy.
Ye Chen had already completed the first two stages of the trial, in the Blood Slaying Blade Technique training and the braving of the Wind Origin Tower, even acquiring two items in his sea of Qi: the miniature Blood Drinking Divine Blade and the miniature Polar Elental Divine Bead.
Ye Chen had been waiting for the third stage of the trial to comnce.
The selection for the god academies had passed without incident, so Ye Chen knew that the third stage of the trial must be related to the final battle of the nine great god academies.
And just as Ye Chen had anticipated, the requirent of the third stage of the trial was that he had to take first place in the assessnt of the nine great god academies!
Only after he secured first place would he qualify to receive the God King's Legacy left by Sovereign Feng Luo on Heavenly God Mountain.
Whether it was the two Sovereigns' demand or the requirent of the God King's Legacy, Ye Chen had to take first place, and naturally, he would not give up; he was determined to claim that top spot!
In the past, even when Ye Chen was only an eight-tragedy Martial Artist, he had this confidence.
Now that he had transford into a nine-tragedy Martial Artist, with his divine power many tis stronger, Ye Chen was even more confident!
At this ti, many eyes were also focused on Xue Ningning, who was currently ranked first.
```
Many were concerned whether Xue Ningning could maintain her position at the very top.
Xue Ningning from the mysterious Divine Miao Peak was smiling lightly at this mont.
It was unclear whether she was indifferent to being first, or if she had an inexplicable confidence in the upcoming struggle for first place among the nine divine academies.
As the more than two hundred candidates harbored their own thoughts, the six-star Sovereign presiding over the nine divine academies' examination resud speaking, "Judging by everyone's expressions, you must be greatly looking forward to the ultimate ranking competition."
"Then I won't keep you in suspense any longer and will announce directly how this ultimate ranking competition will proceed."
"The ultimate ranking competition is quite simple, consisting of only two steps."
"The first step is to determine the top ten, and the second step is to determine the first place!"
"The way to carry out the first step is as follows: the top ten nas currently displayed on the ranking screen in the arena will be the default placeholders for the top ten, and all the others can challenge any of the top ten."
"Every individual has only one chance to challenge. If you win, you take their place, directly seizing the top ten position and the examination points. If you lose, you're automatically eliminated and forfeit your chance to compete for the top ten."
"Of course, if any of the current top ten are defeated and replaced, they too will have one chance to challenge others among the top ten."
"Once everyone has completed their challenges, the top ten will be automatically determined. These ten individuals will be the top contenders of this divine academy examination!"
"After the top ten have been decided, the battle for the first place will begin."
"The thod to contend for first place is for the top ten to fight in pairs. The victor directly obtains half of the examination points of the other party, while the loser forfeits half of their examination points. In the end, after all the top ten have faced each other, the examination points of every individual will be tallied, and the one with the most points will be the primary candidate for first place in the nine divine academies' examination."
"Why is it that the one with the most examination points is only the primary candidate for first place? Because the nine divine academies require an absolute first place, who must not lose a single battle in the earlier pairings. If soone did lose a match but still occupies the first place due to having more examination points, they cannot be considered the true first place of the nine divine academies' examination, and can only be the primary candidate."
"Only the one with an unbeaten record, defeating all of their opponents with absolute victory, can claim the true first place of the nine divine academies' examination!"
As he said this, the six-star Sovereign's gaze swept over the crowd: "In the past, there have been many instances during the examination where contenders for the top ten achieved eight wins and one loss, becoming the primary candidate for first place, but not securing the true first place of the divine academy examination."
"I hope that this ti, one of you will erge as the true first place!"
As the Sovereign concluded, his gaze settled entirely on Ye Chen.
Hearing the Sovereign's words, Ye Chen nodded.
Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan also clenched their fists.
They, of course, wanted to be the true first place, the one who triumphs in all the top ten battles!
"Of course, the top ten ranking and the first place are not just about rankings. As I've ntioned before, those who make it into the top ten, and the true first place in the divine academy examination, will receive special rewards from the nine divine academies."
"Now, I will announce what exactly these rewards are."
The six-star Sovereign extended his hand as he spoke, and directly in his palm appeared eleven cards.
As Ye Chen looked at these eleven cards, he saw that each card was inlaid with tiny Divine Beads, making the cards seem to emit a star-like glow.
Even more astonishing was that ten of the cards were golden, while one was an incredibly mysterious shade of black gold!
When they saw these eleven cards, many of the candidates' eyes trembled, evidently recognizing the origin of these cards.
And upon seeing the sole black gold card, the breathing of many beca rushed.
Certainly, this one black gold card had an unbelievable origin!
"Many of you must recognize these cards," the six-star Sovereign said, holding the eleven cards out towards the crowd. "That's right, these cards are the 'Star Cards' that have a great effect on cultivation within the nine divine academies."
Seeing that many didn't know what these "Star Cards" ant, the Sovereign explained: "Within the nine divine academies, there is a realm for cultivation jointly created by the Elders of the divine academies' Sovereign level called the 'Polar Star Tower.'"
"Once you enter the nine divine academies, you will understand the marvels of the Polar Star Tower!"
"This Polar Star Tower is extraordinarily precious, and naturally, the opportunity to cultivate within it is equally valuable. With so many disciples in the divine academies, it's obviously not possible for everyone to train there every day."
"And these 'Star Cards' are the tokens required to enter the 'Polar Star Tower.'"
"Every disciple of the nine divine academies will receive a white 'Star Card' upon entry. Only by completing various cultivation tasks set by the divine academies can disciples earn 'Star Card Points' to load onto their 'Star Cards.' Each ti one enters the 'Polar Star Tower,' depending on the level they reach inside, a different amount of 'Star Card Points' is consud, and those with the white Star Cards can only enter the lowest three levels of the Polar Star Tower for cultivation."
"Many disciples of the divine academies cannot accumulate enough 'Star Card Points' in a whole year to enter the 'Polar Star Tower' even once."
As he spoke, the Sovereign took out one of the ten golden cards, "This golden card here cos with one hundred thousand 'Star Card Points' already in it and grants access to the top nine levels of the Polar Star Tower! Just possessing it allows you many opportunities to cultivate within the Polar Star Tower."
"This golden card is the reward for the top ten of this nine divine academies' examination!"
"Many Martial Artists who have cultivated for countless years in the divine academies do not have the ans to obtain a golden Star Card. This card is incredibly precious, and you should all strive earnestly to earn it!"
"Of course, the most precious is this 'Black Gold Star Card' in my hand!"
Finally, the Sovereign took out the single black gold card: "This Star Card does not contain any Star Card Points, because with it, one can enter the Polar Star Tower for cultivation at any ti without the need to expend any points, without any restrictions at all, and it's even possible to reach all eighteen levels for cultivation!"
"Possession of this card ans possessing a lifeti opportunity to cultivate in the Polar Star Tower!"
"Only those who have made significant contributions to the divine academies or truly exceptional talents are awarded this card."
"And this card is the exclusive reward for the true first place of this nine divine academies' examination!"
