My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 975 - 792: Faceplant, Faceplant, and Yet Another Faceplant (Super - )
"I challenge you."
The silhouettes of two people appeared on an arena, the young man’s momentum, initially not strong, gradually rose, rose, and rose again.
A spear thrust out.
Galro, fallen.
"This isn’t scientific, nor Transcendent!"
"How could this happen!"
Other exchange students from the Hero Club were also stunned. In Hero City, Galro had never been defeated except when facing Vito and Joe. Even the two leaders, Vito and Joe, didn’t have the ability to instantly defeat Galro, right?
It must,
it must be bad luck!
Picked out those top-tier geniuses!
Galro somewhat regretted not gathering intelligence first.
But now, it’s hard to back down.
Thinking back to last night’s confident boast to defeat at least five geniuses from the first class, he blushed a little.
Other Hero Club exchange students tactfully changed the subject, not daring to pour salt into Galro’s wound.
But how could talents from other Holy Lands miss this opportunity.
Geniuses from places like Frostwinter Castle and Europe’s Church Court feigned concern and came over to offer some consolation.
Say things like don’t be discouraged, after all, the strength wasn’t comparable.
Say things like you must have been too careless, otherwise, you could definitely... last another 0.01 seconds.
Galro was so angry smoke almost came out of his ears.
"No, I must win a match!"
His eyes constantly observed; at this time, other students were also challenging, but most were focused on the third, fourth, and fifth classes behind him.
Galro’s brain continuously analyzed, operating at high speed.
Analyzing from the interpersonal relationships, dialogues, and eye contacts of the first-class students.
His father was an intelligence big shot; although Galro was not a professional intelligence officer, he knew all these techniques!
You’re the one!
After a while, he chose a boy who looked a bit effeminate, mingling with some weaker students from the second and third classes, completely lacking the aura of a master.
Yang Feixue!
A somewhat feminine name; Galro was afraid someone else would challenge him first, and hurriedly confirmed in the system.
Vito opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he saw Galro make a series of fierce moves.
Instantly facepalming.
This time it’s definitely over.
If he remembered correctly, wasn’t this Yang Feixue ranked third in the Heavenly Ladder competition?
Galro surely had a death wish.
’I should have stopped him earlier...’
Vito sighed helplessly, but on second thought, Galro’s indomitable spirit for challenge wouldn’t be dampened; be it the top or the bottom of the genius first class, none were opponents he could defeat.
It was all the same.
In the distance, Yang Feixue, who was instructing classmates, suddenly paused, "Give me ten seconds."
His silhouette vanished.
From stepping onto the arena, to the end of the countdown was just ten seconds.
After ten seconds, Yang Feixue reappeared, "Where were we?"
On the other side,
Galro looked despondent.
The moment the countdown ended, he lost, not even knowing what happened.
More thoroughly defeated.
Three chances of failure used up, Galro felt his face burning, lowering his head as if everyone around was mocking him.
He was embarrassed to stay any longer and was about to leave.
Suddenly,
A voice came from not far away, "Galro, I want to challenge you."
He looked up and saw an unfamiliar classmate whose attire indicated he was a student from Green Shadow City.
But...
The class number displayed above was particularly glaring.
Third class!
Galro clenched his fists, making cracking sounds.
Like an injured lion, his bloodshot eyes filled with overwhelming anger.
Intolerable!
Galro accepted the challenge—he couldn’t refuse.
After a few minutes,
Fueled by anger clouding his mind, Galro fought recklessly and chaotically, losing by a narrow margin.
His emotions surged, spitting out a mouthful of blood, yet under the effect of the Spirit Space, his injuries healed.
But the sense of defeat lingered.
The class number above his head changed from second class to third class.
As if blatantly mocking him for overestimating his abilities.
And since he wasted three chances of failure, now, even if he wanted to challenge and reclaim the status of a second-class student, he couldn’t.
Galro slipped away dejectedly.
Before leaving, he was challenged twice more—this time by students from the fourth class, all only at the Awakening Tier, and Galro easily won.
Being challenged thrice grants the right to refuse further challengers.
Galro could leave midway, thanks to those last two challengers, but he had no mood whatsoever.
The Hero Club’s exchange students were somewhat tragic.
Because of Galro’s four defeats in four matches, students from Green Shadow City and other Holy Land exchange students, all thought the Hero Club was strong in appearance but weak in substance... no, it should be called weak in appearance and even weaker inside.
Many aimed their challenge targets at the exchange students from the Hero Club.
Vito also fought two battles.
The challengers were all second-class students; he won fairly easily, and thereafter no one challenged him. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
But another student, who was initially placed in the first class, was dethroned.
The month-end assessment and challenge lasted most of the day.
In the past, the assessment challenges usually ended within an hour.
Who was strong, who was weak, the students all knew well.
This year, many more exchange students appeared, and it seemed there were quite a few who were... weaklings.
The challenges, and being challenged, continued for a long time.
Initially, exchange students from major Holy Lands were the ones initiating challenges, but after witnessing Galro’s fate, many hesitated and instead became the challenged side.
With the expansion of slots in the Genius Class, many World Tree Academy students toppled exchange students and rose in rankings, gaining higher benefits.
Of course,
there were some successful challenges among the exchange students from the Holy Lands.
Vito saw a genius from Frostwinter Castle in the third class successfully challenge and move up to second class, and another from Warrendo in fourth class did so too.
But...
They didn’t challenge the original students of World Tree Academy, but other exchange students, one of whom was from the Hero Club.
This was pretty awkward.
More awkwardly, the two successful genius exchange students, didn’t stand their ground for long before being KO’d by the original students of World Tree Academy.
Vito scanned around, not a single exchange student who advanced.
Even among those who maintained their current class status, only sixty percent remained, the rest all dropped to the next class.
In the entire Genius Class One, Vito found there were only four exchange students left: him, Yao Chengwu, Gu Tang, and Eva.
The only relief for Vito and the other exchange students was that while they might not be the best, they were definitely stronger than those below.
The exchange students in the fifth genius class successfully defended against challenges from elite first-class students, barely preserving a shred of dignity.
...
The month-end assessment gave many exchange students a harsh wake-up call.
Many disregarded orders from their Holy Land’s higher-ups to gather intelligence, instead focusing fully on cultivation, if only for themselves, or the sake of the face of their backers, they couldn’t... be too poor.
In the blink of an eye, another three months passed, with three month-end assessments.
The exchange students from each major Holy Land were truly of excellent talent. With an excellent cultivation environment and resources, everyone’s strength and realm saw qualitative breakthroughs; some geniuses who once fell in month-end challenges also reclaimed their status.
The number of exchange students in the Genius Class One increased to seven.
Vito’s ranking on the internal Heavenly Ladder list rose from 48th to 33rd, placing him in the top 25 in the Genius Class One.
Yes, the front ranks of the Heavenly Ladder, the Heavenly Pride, are not all sixth-year students.
Only some of them are.
"But that Galro guy..."
Being defeated in the month-end assessment four times in a row dealt a heavy blow to Galro, who had been enjoying smooth sailing since the apocalypse. Not only did he fail to return to the Genius Class Two, but it was said that in the latest assessment, he could barely hold onto his place in Class Three.
Ranked over a hundred? Completely deteriorated, not even completing daily cultivation work?
His father furrowed his brows, suppressing his anger.
He immediately put down his work, went to Hero City’s teleportation area, used his authority to jump the queue, and teleported directly to Green Shadow City.
