Chapter 1236 - 1233: All-Star Challenge

The Examination Officer looked at Zi Qingyue and said, "Zi Qingyue, tell us how you became a Purple-Robed Student back then."

Zi Qingyue smiled, her eyes curving like the moon, and her smile made the whole world seem bright and sunny. The Examination Officer couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.

Truly beautiful.

Zi Qingyue said, "Back then, I ranked 3,781st in the Heavenly Master Ranking Challenge and successfully advanced to a Purple-Robed Student. And now, I'm 36th in the All-Star Challenge, and it only took me a year and a half."

The entire crowd gasped.

Although many people knew of Zi Qingyue's prowess, hearing that she made it to the top 50 of the All-Star Challenge in just a year and a half was astonishing—what else could she be but a genius?

"Not just a genius! She's like a prodigy."

"A woman is that incredible; where do us brothers stand?"

Another person appeared, with deep eyes exuding a captivating radiance, thick eyebrows, a high nose, and impeccably shaped lips, all exuding nobility and elegance.

This time it was the girls' turn to scream. "Qin Wushuang."

"My male god!"

"So handsome, so handsome."

The appearance of Qin Wushuang captivated the majority of the females.

Zhang Jian, envious, said, "It's actually Qin Wushuang—this guy is truly popular."

Liao Yusheng, also envious, said, "No wonder he's a genius among the Purple-Robed Students and a designated member of the Flame Dragon Hall."

"A genius from the Thirty-Sixth Institute, and so handsome too, it's infuriating," Du Peng exclaimed.

Then they heard Qin Wushuang's voice slowly rise, coolly saying, "I entered the Heavenly Master Realm at 22, ranked 650th in the Heavenly Master Challenge, and advanced to Purple-Robe. Now, I'm ranked 14th in the All-Star Challenge."

Qin Wushuang said, "What I want to say is, do not easily underestimate yourself; everyone has the chance to compete in the All-Star Challenge."

Zhang Jian was annoyed and said, "Show-off."

Du Peng said, "Have to admit, he has the strength to show off."

Qin Wushuang's encouragement filled many girls with confidence.

The last person to appear was a chubby guy with red cheeks and big round eyes, hugging snacks as he appeared.

No matter how you looked at him, he didn't seem like a top player.

The chubby guy munched on snacks, cheerfully saying, "I entered the Half-step Heavenly Master stage at 22, and within a year, I ranked first in the Half-step Heavenly Master Challenge. Now I'm 25 and ranked 11th in the All-Star Challenge."

The chubby guy's words left countless stunned.

At 22, a Half-step Heavenly Master, first in the Half-step Heavenly Master Ranking!

In two years, becoming 11th in the All-Star Challenge, higher than Qin Wushuang?

"Whoa! Could he be a slim fat guy?" someone exclaimed.

"The 11th place in the All-Star Challenge is a fat guy ID, and turns out this fat guy isn't fat and is from our Jiuhua Glory Holy Land."

"Amazing, what talent, truly scared me."

"Late bloomer, before 22 his cultivation wasn't as good as Qin Wushuang's, yet caught up in three years, incredible."

This chubby guy's experience made many people's eyes light up, as some were also at the Half-step Heavenly Master stage by 22.

Qin Wushuang remained composed and didn't feel discouraged even though the chubby guy's rank was higher.

The middle-aged Examination Officer said, "Now, draw lots to assign Examination Officers. For the next month, you have 30 days to participate in the Ranking Challenge."

A month.

You can challenge once every day or consecutively as long as you win.

The middle-aged Examination Officer continued, "In addition, among the Blue-Robed Students, the top three can receive rewards from the Sacred Land."

"The top three can choose one item in the Soldier Tomb Valley."

"The first place gets 1,000 academic points as a reward."

"The second place gets 800 academic points as a reward."

"The third place gets 500 academic points as a reward."

"Alright, everyone, do your best."

Then, 1,800 people drew lots, and Chu Hao drew number three.

Someone announced, "Number three, the Examination Officer is Shen Qian."

Chu Hao rubbed his chin, thinking how coincidental that was.

Shen Qian had 380 candidates under her supervision. Her sharp eyes scanned the room, quickly spotting Chu Hao among them, but she avoided making eye contact with him.

"All those who drew number three, enter the Examination Room and bring your Shanhai Platform Stone Talisman," Shen Qian said.

Upon entering the Examination Room, there were countless chairs, and everyone sat down according to their numbers.

Besides Shen Qian, fifty other Examination Officers appeared, but only Shen Qian could decide who would advance.

"All challenges can only be completed inside the Examination Room; any rankings achieved outside do not count. Remember, you only have one chance to challenge per day, so cherish this opportunity."

Everyone groaned once more; this was too strict.

Chu Hao logged in to his account and appeared in Shanhai City.

This assessment was closely guarded; no one knew Jiuhua Glory Holy Land would conduct an assessment today, nor that it would involve the Shanhai Platform Challenge.

Chu Hao opened the challenge rankings.

Since last time, after completing a winning streak of 100 matches, he had qualified for the All-Star Challenge.

As for the All-Star Challenge, Chu Hao wasn't very familiar. After checking for a while, he understood the situation.

The All-Star Challenge, for those under 40, allows participation.

The All-Star Challenge includes titles like Yin and Yang Earth Master First, Yin and Yang Grand Master First, among others, but still ranks based on strength.

Chu Hao contacted the client, saying, "I want to enter the Challenge."

The client checked and said, "You are eligible for the Heavenly Master Board Challenge. Additionally, with a 100-match winning streak, you can join the All-Star Challenge. We suggest you participate in the All-Star Challenge."

Chu Hao said, "Alright then, let's join the All-Star Challenge."

The client said, "Your strength has reached the Heavenly Master Realm. We've assigned an opponent for you; you can challenge them tomorrow."

"Who is the opponent?"

Client: "Due to the All-Star Challenge's confidentiality regulations, we can't disclose it yet."

"Alright."

Since it was scheduled for tomorrow, Chu Hao saw no need to challenge today. He logged out of the Shanhai Platform.

In the Examination Room, many were still on the Shanhai Platform. After logging out, Chu Hao stood up and left.

The Examination Officer frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Chu Hao shrugged and said, "I've been scheduled to challenge tomorrow."

The Examination Officer was puzzled but still nodded.

Seeing Chu Hao leave, Shen Qian stepped forward and asked the Examination Officer, "What's going on with him?"

The Examination Officer said, "His challenge was scheduled for tomorrow?"

Shen Qian was stunned: "Tomorrow, isn't that the start of the All-Star Challenge?"

The Examination Officer was also stunned and said, "No way, should I call him back for clarification, Ma'am?"

Shen Qian shook her head and said, "No need."

It was better for Chu Hao to leave; his presence made her uncomfortable.

Shortly after Chu Hao left, wails echoed from the Examination Room, likely due to someone failing the challenge.
