Following the return of these king realm experts, the news of Bai Yuhao taming a Demon Spirit Beast spread throughout the entire Zhentian Academy. Of course, because most of them did not manage to see it with their own eyes, they were skeptical about it.
After the first time of training in the Spirit Nether Valley, the Zhentian Academy caused a new student's ranking to appear based on the strength of the new students, as well as their performance during the first time of training. This was to motivate the new students.
Although Bai Yuhao had subdued the Demon Spirit Beast, his ranking was still at the bottom. However, it didn't have much of an impact on him, since it could make him less attention anyway.
After that, he received two more experiential learning, and these two Bai Yuhao were completely low-key.
In a blink of an eye, a month had passed, and the Newcomer's Competition had also arrived.
Anyone who entered the academy for a year or less could participate in this Newcomer's Competition.
Therefore, with over a hundred students participating in this session's Newcomer's Competition, the competition could be said to be exceptionally fierce!
However, in terms of strength alone, those seniors who had been entering the Zhentian Academy for a year definitely held a slight advantage. After all, in terms of experience, they were much stronger than those who had just entered.
However, in terms of strength, that was not necessarily the case, because among this group of newcomers, there were already three who had reached the middle level of the Spirit Infant Stage. As for the seniors who had entered the year, most of them were still stuck at the low level.
Therefore, it was still unknown who would be the last to laugh!
However, the final victor could still be predicted. After all, regardless of the competition, strength was the basis of one's strength. The stronger one was, the greater one's chances of victory would be.
According to everyone's predictions, the one with the highest chance of winning was a genius from the Suppressing Sky Mansion. His name was Duan Jun, and he had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the Spirit Infant Stage.
In addition, there were a few slightly weaker ones, but they were all ranked among the students with middle level Zhentian Academy.
Next was Yu Qing.
Some of them had just glimpsed it, and some said that they had already reached the peak of the middle stage. But no matter which one, with the strength of the middle stage, one would definitely be able to produce a very good result within the Newcomer's Competition.
In short, to the extent that they could predict, everyone naturally believed that the final victor would not exceed these few people.
Just two hours before the Newcomer's Competition began, Di Yuling once again tugged at Bai Yuhao's ear, "Remember, Newcomer's Competition is very important to us this time, it doesn't matter if you can't get a rank, but I must take it. So, if you can help me, just help me out, okay?"
"Oh!" Bai Yuhao replied casually.
"You must remember this." Di Yuling was still worried.
"Understood, when did you become so long-winded like a grandma?" Bai Yuhao rolled his eyes.
"You dare to say I'm a auntie? You're courting death!" Di Yuling scolded angrily.
"Alright, alright, you can't be a grandma, can you? I'm a grandma!" Bai Yuhao was also afraid that Di Yuling would fly into a rage, so he quickly changed his words.
"That's more like it!" Di Yuling was still obviously unhappy.
This time, other than the students from Zhentian Academy, there were also Martial Spirits from various sects and clans who supported their own clans. The Zhentian Academy had also sent an elder to supervise the battle, and there were also many senior academy cadres.
It was said that the dean of Newcomer's Competition would personally attend the final decisive battle of the Newcomer's Competition. Therefore, if one could enter the final battle, one would definitely have the chance to be favored by the dean.
This Newcomer's Competition was divided into three rounds.
Each team had to complete the assigned missions before they could enter the second round. If a team did not complete the first round, then the entire team would lose the qualifications to enter the next round. Therefore, the teamwork was extremely important.
In addition, there was another interesting aspect to group battles: they allowed each other to fight. This was because some of the quests of the four teams were actually duplicated, but there was usually only one quest item, so they had to fight over it.
An hour before the first round of Newcomer's Competition began, the names of the four battle squads were announced. Very soon, the participating King's Realm experts were seated, and each of them was assigned their respective battle squads.
Bai Yuhao joined Team Red and coincidentally joined the same team as Yu Qing, while Di Yuling went to Team Blue.
Afterwards, the four teams would suffer the most because of who was in command. This was because all four teams had experienced king level experts, especially those that were ranked within the top ten in the Power Rankings.
However, there were king level experts with superior strength who were innately capable of leading others. Naturally, there was also the power backing them.
Therefore, before long, the four teams had chosen their respective leaders. Among them, Duan Jun was the captain of the Blue Team, and Yu Qing was the captain of Bai Yuhao's Red Team.
Soon, the first round of the team battles began.
The location of this team battle was the extremely famous maze in Zhentian Academy, it was called Sea Market Sea Palace.
As the name implied, as long as one entered within, one would see all sorts of mirage illusions, and it was difficult to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood.
In addition, there were Spirit Beast s in the Sea Market's Sea Serpent Palace. They ranged from Spirit Stage to King Realm, and could attack Martial Spirits who entered the maze at any time. Thus, although it was only the first round, it was already a great challenge for the students of the four teams.
Very quickly, the four squads headed towards the four different entrances of the Sea Market.
Since the Sea City's Sea Serpent Palace was built between the complex terrain of the valley cliffs, the spectators all moved to the top of the valley cliff so that they could see the battle going on in the maze.
After the four teams took their positions, the first round of the team battles officially began.
Under the lead of their respective captains, the four squads entered the Sea City's Sea Demons' Palace at the fastest speed possible and began to carry out their mission.
Bai Yuhao's mission was to collect five items within the Sea City's Sea Serpent Palace, but he only needed to collect three of these items to complete the mission. Of the five items, two of the items must be obtained from Spirit Beast s of high Spirit Infant Stage, thus, it was extremely difficult.
