Join the ServerSu Liyue swiftly pushed aside the flood of memories. As the dean had mentioned earlier, mastering magic primarily required practical combat to genuinely improve one’s strength. The academy’s ranking competition was the most intuitive stage to test and appreciate the capabilities of mages. And on this grand stage of the ranking competition, as third-year students, they would face not only opponents from their own year but also formidable fourth and fifth-year students. However, for Su Liyue, who possessed extensive combat experience, this was naturally not a problem.
“The academy’s ranking competition is divided into the martial arena and the written examination arena,” Li Yunxin explained in detail. “So, the students privately call it the ‘Civil and Martial Competition.’ The winners advance, while the losers compete for the subsequent rankings.”
Ye Xingchen and Su Liyue nodded in unison. Their synchronized action made Li Yunxin cast a meaningful glance at them. Su Liyue quickly added, “And to ensure fairness in the competition, the top ten senior students won’t be arranged to encounter us in the early stages. They only appear when we enter the final rounds to compete for the academy-wide ranking.”
“Moreover, I heard that students who make it into the top ten in the finals not only receive richer cultivation resources but also get to represent the Starlight Magic Academy in the exchange competition of the Xuanhuang Sword Domain Empire. That’s a competition representing two countries’ students. I wonder if those sword cultivators are all muscular hunks?” Mu Wanqing said excitedly.
Muscular hunks? Why not think from a different angle—could the female students of the Xuanhuang Sword Domain Empire all be swordswomen with chiseled muscles? Su Liyue couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
“Well, anyway, this has nothing to do with me. Besides, I’m just a free agent who signed up for the written examination arena in alchemy.”
She had to admit that registering for the written examination arena saved a lot of trouble. For him, as a male physical body of a powerful immortal cultivator, participating in the martial arena held little significance. He would constantly have to control himself not to reveal his true strength, and if he relied on superb acting to defeat opponents, the worst-case scenario was that if he acted all the way to the end and then encountered his female self, wouldn’t they have to awkwardly dance on the spot? Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle with awkwardness.
Li Yunxin glanced at Ye Xingchen but didn’t say much. For her, whether Ye Xingchen participated in the martial arena or not had no impact on her. As long as it didn’t affect her ability to be affectionate with Su Liyue and Mu Wanqing, everything was fine. “Among the same year, there should be only a few strong ones. Apart from us three, that is Zhao Yan, Lin Mo, Xiao Yun, and Chixiao. It seems that matches against students from the same year won’t have much suspense.”
Su Liyue nodded. “Indeed, compared to our peers, we should pay more attention to those fourth and fifth-year mages. They’ve studied longer, and one or two extra years of cultivation are enough to produce many troublesome characters.”
“But how unlucky could we be? It’s not like we’ll run into the top thirty… no, top fifty experts in the first round, right?” Mu Wanqing said.
Su Liyue chuckled softly. “Actually, for students like us who haven’t yet graduated from the magic academy, everyone’s strength is still at the apprentice mage level. As long as we haven’t reached the formal mage level, our strengths are essentially similar.”
Having said that, Su Liyue glanced meaningfully at Li Yunxin.
“The main differences in strength are still reflected in talent affinity, combat experience, and the depth of understanding and comprehension of the essential properties of magic.”
Li Yunxin said, “If we do meet on the battlefield… as the third-year chief, Yueyue, don’t forget to go easy on me~ And Qingqing too~”
“Huh? We go easy on you?” Mu Wanqing blinked rapidly. In front of her eyes suddenly appeared the scene from that day at the auction house, where Li Yunxin, bare-handed, had dealt with a siege of over twenty formal mages as if it were child’s play. She murmured, “It’s hard to say who will be going easy on whom then…”
“Well, I believe we shouldn’t be unlucky enough to have an internal battle from the start,” Su Liyue said with a smile.
She knew better than anyone the strength of this female body, but Li Yunxin’s ability to defeat over twenty formal mages was probably top-notch even in this ranking competition. If they really met in the elimination rounds, it would inevitably lead to a fierce battle.
“Don’t worry,” Ye Xingchen finally added. “Even if you meet in the elimination rounds, it won’t affect your push to the final rounds. After all, the ranking competition uses a points system. In the end, it’s the total win points that determine advancement to the finals. So everyone, get a good rest today and start focusing on the competition seriously tomorrow.”
After all, he couldn’t let his female self compete while suffering from menstrual cramps. What if halfway through, she discovered a leak… the mental image was simply unimaginable. Heaven knows how magical girls in another world dealt with leakage during battles… Could it be that they used some magical sanitary pads he didn’t know about?
