Urban Super Medical Sage

It’s a grand gesture.

An absolutely grand gesture.

In the end, this exchange competition is meant to establish the invincible heart of The Undead Gu Xiu. Many times, Gu Xiu has won.

Others serve as a foil.

Many times, the Saint Academy, Ming Academy, and Jade Academy have not wanted to continue playing along.

Therefore, to encourage the exchange competition, the rewards have become increasingly generous.

It’s not unreasonable.

"Ling Academy has 102 participants in the exchange competition."

"Jade Academy has 101 participants in the exchange competition."

"Ming Academy has 98 participants in the exchange competition."

"Saint Academy has 103 participants in the exchange competition."

"In total, 404 participants."

"The first round of the exchange competition is an elimination round."

"With 404 participants, a drawing is held, No.1 vs. No.404, No.2 vs. No.403, and so on. In the end, after each person has fought one battle, the winners remain, the losers are eliminated, leaving 202 participants."

"The 202 participants draw again, No.1 vs. No.202, No.2 vs. No.201, and so on, finally each person battles again, with winners remaining and losers eliminated, leaving 101 participants."

"The 101 draw again, No.1 vs. No.101, No.2 vs. No.100, and so on, No.56 gets a bye, directly advancing. Winners stay, losers eliminate, leaving 51 participants."

"The top 51 will be determined today."

"As for the specific rankings of the top 51, that will be determined in the ranking battles tomorrow."

"Alright, let’s begin the drawing for the first round now."

......

Soon.

Students from the four academies all stepped forward to draw lots.

"Brother Su, which lot did you draw?" As soon as Su Chen got his lot, a clear voice arrived; it was Zhen Sisi. Zhen Sisi was really a fan girl. Clearly, representing Jade Academy, which should be a rival of Saint Academy, at this moment, her beautiful eyes still trembled, gazing at Su Chen with undisguised admiration.

"Number 14." Although Su Chen found Zhen Sisi’s gaze strange, he still replied.

"Really? Sisi is No.15. Quite a fate." Zhen Sisi giggled.

"Zhen Sisi, after drawing your lot, come back." Li Cangshan really couldn’t stand it anymore and scolded, his old face turning dark. As one of Jade Academy’s top talents, Zhen Sisi being a fan girl of the rival academy’s contestant was truly... embarrassing.

"Brother Su, you must get first place!" Zhen Sisi stuck out her tongue and then quickly ran back towards Jade Academy’s side.

At this moment, Guo Zhen loudly declared:

"To speed up the elimination round, the Martial Battle Platform will split into 20 smaller platforms, meaning 20 battles can take place at once."

"Now, No.1 and No.404. No.2 and No.403. No.3 and No.402... up to No.20 and No.385. Step onto the platform."

............

Twenty battles can happen at once.

Greatly speeding up the process.

And as No.14, Su Chen directly had to go on stage.

No.14’s opponent was No.391.

Su Chen walked towards the Martial Battle Platform.

As Su Chen moved, in an instant, all eyes were on him.

There was no helping it; originally, Su Chen was already the absolute focus, and at this moment, in the first wave of 20 battles, Su Chen was the only focal figure, while other focal figures like Gou Yan, Zhen Sisi, Luo Yunbing, and Gu Xiu were not in the first wave.

"No way?" No.391 was a youth from Ming Academy, over 70,000 years old, at the third level of the Origin Emperor Extreme Realm, with fairly good strength and talent, considered above average among the Four Great Academies. Originally, with his strength, advancing to the ranking battles was possible, but luck was just...

Starting off against Su Chen.

This young man was almost ready to cry.

Although Su Chen seemed to be only at the Prison Suppressing Emperor Extreme Realm First Level, there were far too many rumors about Su Chen, and everyone knew Su Chen could engage in crazy outclass fighting.

"Senior Brother Su, be... be careful." Although the young man was scared and frustrated, he still had to act. Winning or losing was one thing, but whether to fight or not was another, and right now, the higher-ups of Ming Academy were watching, so he had to fight!

Moreover, the young man held onto a sliver of hope. What if? After all, Su Chen’s realm seemed very weak.

What if all the rumors were false?

Of course, the term "Senior Brother Su" was enough to indicate his inner fear, as Su Chen was only 1200 years old while he was over 70,000 years old, and he still called Su Chen "Senior Brother."

The next moment.

The young man made his move.

Without holding back at all.

With one stroke of the sword.

He gave it everything, whether it was Mysterious Qi or Sword Intent, all pushed to his limits.

Facing Su Chen, not giving his all would be foolish.

However, as that one stroke slashed down...

Bang!

The young man was like he’d been struck by a terrifying Hammer of the Azure Heaven.

He was forced to retreat frantically, spewing blood.

The long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

The Sword Light he just slashed out vanished without a trace.

He retreated dozens of steps, falling off the Battle Platform.

Defeated.

"No.14, wins," Guo Zhen announced.

It took less than the time of a single breath for Su Chen to win.

Su Chen probably used only a ten-thousandth of his strength.

Of course, no one present was surprised.

Su Chen was already compared to Gu Xiu; if he didn’t win, that would be strange.

"Can you sense his strength?" At this moment, Mu Lijian glanced at Gu Xiu beside him and asked; although it was just a casual display of a bit of skill, after all, Su Chen made a move, and he thought Gu Xiu should be able to discern something.

"Very weak," Gu Xiu replied with just two words.

"He has many hidden cards," Mu Lijian reminded. Although Gu Xiu had the Chaos Void Behemoth, practically guaranteed to take first place, he still hoped Gu Xiu would develop a habit of taking his opponents seriously.

As Su Chen secured the first match, quickly, the first batch of 20 matches concluded as well.

Neither exciting nor surprising.

After all, the elimination round wasn’t expected to be too thrilling.

"Next up, No.21 and No.384. No.22 and No.383... No.40 and No.365," Guo Zhen announced.

This round had none of Gu Xiu, Zhen Sisi, Luo Yunbing, or Gou Yan in it, making it even more mundane. However, Qu Mu went on stage and effortlessly defeated the opponent. Sadly, Qu Mu was no longer the same as before, so not many paid attention to her, naturally not causing much stir.

"No.41 and No.364. No.42 and No.363... No.60 and No.345," Guo Zhen again announced.

This time.

The field suddenly became noisy.

Even.

Exploded.

Even Su Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Somewhat shocked.

"Damn it!!!" Li Cangshan’s face turned pale.

"No way?" Zhen Sisi opened her small mouth wide, looking at Luo Yunbing beside her, stunned...

All the students of Ming Academy were staring at Luo Yunbing, speechless, with many sighs.

"It’s quite a pity." Mu Lijian also glanced at Luo Yunbing from afar and said blandly, originally, Luo Yunbing could not only enter the ranking battles but also compete for the top three, at least for the top five, but who would’ve thought...

In the elimination round, just... encountered Gu Xiu.
