The disciple who spoke with Xiao Yu was named Song Chang. The reason why he was targeting Xiao Yu was not without reason.

Firstly, the name Xiao Yu was known to everyone in the Martial Academy. After pushing open the nine stone doors, it alarmed the Academy Master and all the other old antiques in the courtyard.

Furthermore, they had already heard of Xiao Yu's name before the admissions exam.

Not long ago, the disciples within the Sky Blue Martial Academy went out to various places to recruit disciples to conduct the selection, but among the numerous disciples that had returned, there were actually several that died!

After some inquiry, they realized that it was a youth who was participating in the selection who had been killed by Xiao Yu.

Before entering the Martial Arts Academy, he had already killed a few Martial Arts School disciples. To the Martial Arts Academy disciples, this was a humiliation and a provocation.

A disciple of the Martial Arts Academy was actually killed by someone who had yet to enter the Martial Arts Academy!

This also caused many disciples in the Martial Arts Academy to be filled with enmity towards Xiao Yu. This enmity existed even before the admissions test.

"I've heard that you're very strong. Have you ever killed any of the seniors in our Martial Arts Academy?" Although Song Chang was not satisfied with Xiao Yu's attitude, he did not flare up immediately.

"So what?" With regards to the people he killed, Xiao Yu did not think much of it.

Those people wanted to kill him, so he could naturally kill them too.

At this time, he thought about Ji Weiqing, who was not dead yet. Back then, he had returned to the martial academy, but these people suddenly brought up this matter, could it be related to Ji Weiqing?

"Humph, you are quite capable!" Ning Chang sneered, "Since you have that kind of ability, and you even pushed open the Nine Fans Stone Door during this year's admissions test, all of us seniors have a lot of admiration for you. Since you've come, why don't you let us have some pointers?"

"Ask for advice?" Xiao Yu understood that this was not a request for advice, but an excuse to attack him, to teach him a lesson.

Looking at the sneering expressions of those around him, he felt an unspeakable disgust in his heart.

These people actually planned to use their identity of "senior" to openly bully him, a new disciple.

Presumably, these people all thought that he was just a cripple who was difficult to cultivate. Although he had opened the nine stone doors, he did not receive much attention from the Martial Arts Academy, so he dared to act so recklessly.

"Is there such a rule in the Martial Arts Academy?" Xiao Yu did not really want to care about these people, with so many of them, if he were to fight with them, how long would it take?

Moreover, this was something that was completely meaningless to him!

"Since you asked, I'll tell you!" Song Chang laughed disdainfully, as if he had predicted that Xiao Yu wouldn't agree. He pointed to the side and said, "Do you see that tablet?"

In the direction he pointed, there was a tall stone monument.

Although they were not very close, Xiao Yu could still clearly see that countless names were written densely on the monument. From bottom to top, there were at least tens of thousands of names arranged in an orderly manner.

"There are four sectors in the Martial Arts Academy: Qianlong, Hidden Dragon, crouching Dragon, and Soaring Dragon. You should know of these, right?" Song Chang said, "That tablet is called the Qianlong Monument. In every region, there is a similar tablet. The names written on the tablet are the names of the disciples from each region."

"So what?" Xiao Yu said indifferently.

"Do you know the purpose of these names on the monolith?" Song Chang's smile was a little cold, and she said: "There are several names on the monument. Which is to say, the names are ranked based on the strength of the disciples from the various districts. Simply speaking, it's a ranking."

It was not hard to guess that the Martial Arts Academy's method was to motivate the disciples to compete with each other, in order to make them work harder.

However, Xiao Yu could not understand, what did this have to do with him?

"Today is the first day of the new disciple's division, so your names are still not on this tablet." Song Chang's smile became even more playful, and he said: "So, according to the rules of the Martial Arts Academy, on the first day after the new disciples are divided, there will be a competition between the new disciples, deciding your rankings on the monument. If you guys think that your rankings can be ranked higher, then you can challenge the seniors of your area, and as long as you win, your rankings will increase!"

After talking for a long time, it turned out to be the case.

From the looks of it, this Song Chang was planning to use this rule to find an excuse to fight Xiao Yu, and use this method to teach him a lesson.

"By the way, the other new disciples have arrived earlier than you. Their competition has already passed, and you're the only one left among the new disciples." Saying that, Song Chang's smile carried a sense of conspiracy.

Since it was the academy's rule, Xiao Yu did not object and said: "Since that's the case, let's compete then."

Although he felt that Song Chang had already made arrangements, Xiao Yu was not very worried. No matter what happened, as long as one possessed sufficient strength, they would be fearless!

"Alright!" Song Chang laughed, "Come, fellow disciples, let us arrange a competition for this newcomer!"

The group of disciples laughed loudly, and within their smiles, there was a sense of evil.

Although it was called an arrangement, there was actually nothing to arrange. As Xiao Yu had not competed yet, according to the rules, he had to compete against the weakest of the new disciples.

There was no need to prepare for the training ground. This training hall was a huge open space that could be used at any time.

Xiao Yu's first opponent went forward and decided to start the match with a senior in the region. But before the referee even announced the start of the match, Xiao Yu's opponent actually admitted defeat directly, and did not even bother to fight him.

"Haha, congratulations, you have won the first match. It seems that you have pushed open the Nine Fans Stone Door, and all the disciples of your generation admit that they are no match for you!" The referee loudly laughed and said.

Something was wrong here, Xiao Yu frowned.

Even if these new disciples saw him push open the nine stone doors and were shocked by his talent, they would not directly admit defeat.

Everyone knew that even though he had pushed open the ninth door, he only had the cultivation of Six Spirit Rivers on him, and that many of the new disciples had higher cultivation than this.

Moreover, everyone now thought that he was a cripple that was difficult to cultivate, so no one would fear him. Otherwise, even these old disciples wouldn't dare to deliberately come and make things difficult for him.

Xiao Yu confirmed that there was a problem, but did not say much, looked at the judge, and continued with the next round.

If he won one match, Xiao Yu would be able to compete against the disciples who were ranked higher. As he expected, every new disciple would immediately admit defeat, and no one would dare to fight him.

Just like this, his ranking continued to rise, and soon he was among the top few new disciples. Of course, his ranking couldn't even compare to the old disciples of this region, and he was considered one of the last few on the ranking monument.

"Xiao Yu, congratulations, your current rank is already number one among the new disciples. If you want to continue raising your rank, you can challenge the older disciples inside the region. The referee smiled and said to Xiao Yu.
