Chapter 134 Qualifications for Entering the Demon Realm
Martial Arts Forum.

noon.

The Hongyun University Throne Challenge had just ended, and a highlight reel of the exciting moments appeared on the homepage.

At least 30 million people saw the video immediately.

The five-minute highlight reel was stunning and sparked heated discussions among everyone.

September marks the start of the new academic year for universities across the country.

Apart from some liberal arts colleges and vocational schools, the nine elite joint schools and the three hero academies, as well as some well-rounded universities like Wuhan University, all have established freshman challenge competitions according to past practice, although their rules and rewards vary.

The annual Freshman Challenge receives widespread attention because, in a sense, it represents how many dazzling talents will emerge in the new year, making its popularity comparable to the National College Glory League.

As the top three universities in the country, the three Hero Academy are naturally the most eye-catching.

Each university has a different start date, which means the dates for the freshman challenge are not fixed, but they are generally concentrated within a week.

Over the course of the week, several names that became familiar and impressive to people across the country appeared on martial arts forums and television media. Among them, the top ten rising stars announced by martial arts forums were the most famous: Zhang Kaiyi, Ye Qiu, Qi Wu, Yang Tianxing, Feng Yining, Lan Yang, Zong Tian, ​​Xuan Yi, Zhang Dongyu, and Chen Ze.

As a hero academy, two members of the Demon Star are on the list, namely Zhang Kaiyi and Qi Wu.

As a genius specially recruited by the Demon Star, Zhang Kaiyi has been exceptionally gifted since childhood, possessing innate superhuman strength.

Long before the college entrance examination, he broke through to the first-grade martial artist level and refined the Magic Bear, which ranked 69th on the Earth Ranking. Its demon spirit talent and its own innate divine power were perfectly combined. Its fighting style was simple and brutal, which shocked people and earned it the nickname "Little Ye Xing".

Compared to Zhang Kaiyi, Qi Wu was not initially eye-catching. Although he had reached the level of a first-grade martial artist, he had only refined an eighth-order demon spirit. However, thanks to the bloodline talent inherited from his family, he became a dark horse and made it all the way to the end. He even defeated Zhang Kaiyi and became the first person to enter the Carp Dragon Gate.

Great Wall University is even stronger than Demon Star University, with three students making the list: Ye Qiu, Feng Yining, and Yang Tianxing.

The name Ye Qiu is familiar to people all over the country.

On the day of his awakening, he refined the 17th ranked Thorn Dragon on the Earth Refinement Ranking, making him a household name throughout the country as a genius.

Such a high-level Earth Ranking Demon Spirit has set a new historical record for the demon spirit that a teenager under the age of 25 can refine.

As for Feng Yining, she is the only girl among the top ten rising stars.

Among martial artists, beautiful girls are not uncommon, but those who are both beautiful and powerful, and who can surpass their peers, are extremely rare.

Feng Yining's strength is undeniable, as she was able to secure a position on the second tier of the Great Wall University's staircase. She herself possesses the strength of a first-grade martial artist and has refined a demonic beast ranked 66th on the Earth Ranking.

Heart Demon Beast, a rare type of spirit-type monster.

Her demon spirit's innate skill, 'Mind Control Technique,' grants her the ability to control the minds and even souls of others and demon beasts. With her bizarre attack methods, she forcibly controlled three newcomers whose strength had reached the first rank of martial arts at a crucial moment in the competition, turning them into her puppets.

Her striking appearance, formidable strength, and unique fighting style have made her very popular online.

Yang Tianxing, a prodigy from the prestigious Yang family of the capital, possesses the strength of a first-rank martial artist. He has refined a ninth-order Fiery Sun Dragon, and combined with his family's inherited fire techniques, his destructive power is extremely terrifying. His overall strength is second only to Ye Qiu and Feng Yining.

Besides Demon Star and Great Wall, the nine elite universities also produced some geniuses, such as Lan Yang from Phoenix Cry University, Zong Tian from Black Wing University, and Zhang Dongyu from Blue Ocean University. Although their strength and popularity are not as good as Ye Qiu and others at this stage, their brilliance is still dazzling and should not be underestimated.

As is customary, once all the college freshman challenge competitions have concluded, the Martial Arts Forum will select the top 100 newcomers and top 10 rising stars based on online votes.

At this time, the Red Cloud Throne Challenge was not yet over, so the votes had not yet been officially counted.

Although Ye Qiu and Zhang Kaiyi have the most supporters online, followed by Feng Yining, many people are looking forward to the performances of Yun Kai and Lin Feng.

Therefore, when the highlight reel of the Red Cloud University Throne Challenge was released, netizens on the martial arts forum really started to get excited.

"Yun Kai is monstrous! He actually possesses two innate skills, Golden Transformation and Sword Control Technique, both of which are terrifyingly powerful!"

"It can only be considered one type, since they're all control metals anyway!"

"No wonder it's a case of ancestral reversion and demonic transformation. Why don't I have an extraordinary ancestor? I want this talent too!"

"Baiji is disgusting, but he's also very strong!"

"Who says everyone is equal? ​​If everyone is unequal from birth, then this world is fundamentally unfair. Okay, I admit it, Yun Kai made me feel inferior!"

"Compared to Yun Kai, who inherited the extraordinary bloodline and talent of his ancestors, I would say that Lin Feng is the real monster, okay? He's ridiculously abnormal."

"How can you become a top scorer in the college entrance examination if you're not exceptionally talented!"

"He's a monster! He's only just broken through to the first rank of martial artist, yet he can already use the third rank Thunder Step and Thunder Strike! Once he refines the demon spirit, what will become of him?"

Netizens are discussing and sharing it wildly.

Without a doubt, with their talent and strength, Yun Kai and Lin Feng are both qualified to be included in the top ten rookie rankings.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Xuan Yi and Chen Ze, who were in the top ten of the martial arts forum's new talent list, disappeared from the list and were replaced by Lin Feng and Yun Kai.

No one objected to Lin Feng and Yun Kai appearing in the top ten list.

However, Xuan Yi and Chen Ze's fans took to the internet to express their opinions and views, believing that Lan Yang and Zhang Dongyu should be eliminated from the Top Ten Newcomers, and sparked heated discussions and even insults.

Fans went crazy posting to cheer on their idols, and even attacked other rookies.

Many people watched this spectacle with interest, but that's not surprising.

The rankings on the martial arts forum seem to have no value or benefit; for Lin Feng and others who are on the list, at most, it only increases their fame.

But it is precisely this fame that drives people crazy. In the martial arts world, it is a universally acknowledged truth that one should become famous as early as possible.

For students, the four years of university, between the ages of 18 and 22, is the period of most rapid growth, which directly affects their future development.

During this period, it also attracted attention from the outside world, such as the Glory Professional League, hundreds of A-level and above clubs, as well as various martial arts schools and conglomerates.

The top ten list may seem like just an ordinary list, but being included on this list means being watched by hundreds of millions of people and a significant increase in one's net worth.

Therefore, a position represents a better contract, hundreds of millions in revenue, and a future position on the team, which is why fans care so much.

However, such discussions were quickly drowned out online because everyone's focus was on one issue.

Among the top ten rising stars, who is truly number one?
The main focus of netizens' discussions was on Yun Kai and Ye Qiu.

These two are nationally recognized geniuses, one of whom has reverted to his ancestral form and become a demon, refining the Golden Lion King of the Earth Ranking.

A martial arts genius refines the Thorn Demon Dragon from the Earth Ranking.

For fans, who is stronger and who is weaker is naturally an unavoidable topic.

Yun Kai and Ye Qiu each have tens of millions of fans. Their idol worship drives them to post frantically online, refusing to back down an inch.

3pm.

A ranking list appeared on the homepage of the Martial Arts Forum, officially marking the start of the new school year for universities and the ranking statistics for the top 100 newcomers and top 10 rising stars.

Just half an hour.

More than 50 million people voted.

The list of the top 100 has been released.

The Demon Star Academy has 21 members on the list, the Great Wall Academy has 23, and the Red Cloud Academy has 19. The three major hero academies occupy two-thirds of the list.

Yun Kai ranked first on the list with an absolute advantage, with 2133 million votes.

Ye Qiu ranked second with 1903 million votes.

Zhang Kaiyi ranked third with 1489 million votes.

Qi Wu ranked fourth with 1267 million votes.

Lin Feng ranked fifth with 908 million votes.

Feng Yining ranked sixth with 895 million votes.

Yang Tianxing followed closely behind, ranking seventh with 806 million votes.

Lan Yang ranked eighth with 605 million votes.

Bai Ji ranked ninth with 550 million votes.

Zhang Dongyu ranked tenth with 498 million votes.

Just when everyone thought the top ten list was finalized, no one expected that in just five hours, Zhang Dongyu would drop out of the top ten list and be replaced by Chen Ze.

The most unexpected thing was that Lin Feng, who was originally ranked fifth, became a dark horse and began to overtake everyone. With 2900 million votes, he surpassed Ye Qiu and Yun Kai and took the top spot.

After the initial shock, netizens finally realized what was happening.

While they marveled at and debated who was stronger, Yun Kai or Ye Qiu, they overlooked Lin Feng's monstrous martial arts talent.

Although demon spirit masters are superior to martial artists, it does not mean that martial arts talent is unimportant.

In less than half a year, he broke through from the seventh stage of body cultivation to the first-grade martial artist.

According to the analysis, Lin Feng has reached the high level of the first rank, or even the peak of the first rank.

While maintaining his cultivation speed, he also possessed two third-grade martial arts techniques.

Lin Feng's martial arts talent can no longer be described as genius; it can only be described as monstrous. In some ways, it is even more astonishing than Yun Kai's ancestral demonization.

Among the top ten, Lin Feng is the only freshman who has not yet refined a demon spirit.

Before he had even refined the demon spirit, Lin Feng was already on the list of the top ten rising stars. When he finally refined the demon spirit on the Earth Ranking, who would be his opponent?

It's no exaggeration to say that hundreds of millions of people across the country, as well as all the clubs in the Glory Professional League, are all looking forward to and speculating about what level of demon spirit Lin Feng will refine.

This expectation gradually evolved into a nationwide discussion.

With his monstrous martial arts talent and rare combat genius, if Lin Feng were to refine the Earthly Ranking Demon Spirit, he would undoubtedly become a national treasure-level genius.

And we'll find out in three days.

As is customary, in the Red Cloud University Throne Challenge, the holder of the first throne is granted the right to enter the Demon Spirit Realm once.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Feng will refine the demon spirit in three days.
