Elder Wei was also very concerned. Ever since Zhang Hao miraculously took first place in the first stage, Elder Wei paid even more attention to the assessment of the second stage. However, he was also very worried about Zhang Hao. The second stage was already an extremely dangerous one. What's more, Zhang Hao was trapped in the Ninth District, a place of near-certain death. The danger level of the Ninth District was far beyond that of other areas.
However, Elder Wei didn't know why. In his heart, he actually believed that this kid, who had repeatedly impressed him, could create another miracle. Although Elder Wei felt that this possibility was really not very high.
In another corner,
The Triangular Eyes Martial King sneered coldly and said, "This time, that kid definitely won't come out."
The Thin Face Martial King looked at the Triangular Eyes Martial King, smiled faintly, and asked, "Are you so confident?"
"Of course, the terror of the Ninth District is known to everyone. Let alone that kid, even if we went in, we wouldn't dare say that we could pass with 100% certainty," the Triangular Eyes Martial King nodded slightly and said seriously.
Upon hearing this, the Thin Face Martial King nodded slightly. Indeed, thinking of the horror of the Ninth District, he deeply agreed. There were Martial Kings in the Ninth District! The power of the Tree Demon King and the Fire Demon King were both terrifying. Even if they went, they might not fare well.
Just at this moment, the light screen suddenly flickered. This surprised the Deacons and Elders present.
"Did someone get the Death Mountain token?" a Martial Warrior said in surprise.
"Impossible! The assessment time is one month. According to past experience, it would take at least twenty-five days, and it's only been twenty days now. How could someone reach Death Mountain so quickly, unless someone from the Ninth District passed the stage?" a Martial Warrior said in surprise.
Although that Martial Warrior mentioned a possibility, the Martial Warriors present all believed that this possibility was too low. The terror of the Ninth District was well known. The possibility of a Martial Warrior passing the stage was minimal. Although the assessment group this time didn't know if they were crazy, they reopened the Ninth District. But no one believed that a Martial Warrior could pass the stage.
Soon, five more names appeared on the light screen.
The Martial Warrior ranked first was Zhang Hao. Second was Yun Qiuyu. Third was Ying Da, fourth was Dou Bi. Fifth was Xiao Kuang. These were the top five in the second stage.
The Martial Warriors present were all in an uproar after seeing these names.
"How is this possible? Am I seeing things?"
"Yeah, it's Zhang Hao again. Didn't he enter the Ninth District? How did he clear the stage so quickly?" a Martial Warrior was surprised and couldn't understand.
The Martial Warriors present all discussed animatedly. They found it hard to believe that Zhang Hao, this obscure kid, had once again taken first place. Although Zhang Hao had also taken first place in the first stage, compared to the geniuses of the major Colleges, Zhang Hao's reputation was still too low.
"It seems that the Ninth District is not as terrifying as previously imagined. This time Zhang Hao entering the Ninth District was really good luck, which allowed him to easily pass through the Ninth District, enter Death Mountain, and get first place," a Martial Warrior gave an explanation that seemed unreliable.
Although this explanation didn't sound very reliable, strangely, the vast majority of Martial Warriors accepted it. They didn't believe that this obscure kid truly achieved his current results based on his own strength. They preferred to believe it was purely luck, although this luck seemed a bit too good.
"Haha! Haha! Haha... This kid has indeed created another miracle," Elder Wei laughed heartily, feeling very pleased.
Elder Wei couldn't help but glance sideways at the chief examiner, Gu Taiyi. He wanted to see what expression Gu Taiyi had at this moment. Sure enough, Gu Taiyi's expression at this moment was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
Elder Wei couldn't help but look at Gu Taiyi and ask smugly, "Gu Taiyi, it seems your plan failed."
Gu Taiyi's expression was somewhat ashen. After being ridiculed by Elder Wei, he held back a snort and said, "Brother Wei, you don't need to be too proud. There's still the third stage! That stage is the real test."
Elder Wei didn't want to argue with the other party, he just said lightly, "Then let's wait and see! I just want to tell you that I've always been good at judging people. Zhang Hao will definitely enter the top ten."
Three middle-aged Martial Warriors walked over. These three middle-aged Martial Warriors were the recruitment Person in charge for the Three Great Academies this time.
If Zhang Hao were here at this moment, he would immediately recognize that the Person in charge for Tianba Academy this time was Gu Long, the Deputy Dean of Tianba Academy, who had a three-palm agreement with him.
"Brother!"
Gu Long walked over and greeted Gu Taiyi with a smile.
"Feiyun, did you see any good seedlings in this assessment?" Gu Taiyi looked at Gu Long and asked with a smile.
It turned out that Gu Long and Gu Taiyi were family.
"Hehe, this time our Tianba Academy did see quite a few good seedlings. For example, Xiao Jue and Nangong Jin, these are our targets for Tianba Academy," Gu Long nodded slightly.
"Hehe, that's right, these are indeed good seedlings, much stronger than that Zhang Hao who got his current ranking by luck," Gu Taiyi said lightly.
"Haha! Haha! Haha, by luck? I wonder who opened this Ninth District. Now that he has fought his way out of the Ninth District and won first place in the second stage, how has it become winning first place by luck in Brother Gu's eyes? I wonder if Brother Gu is talking nonsense with his eyes open?" Elder Wei couldn't help but mock.
Gu Taiyi's face was somewhat ugly, he snorted coldly and said, "Brother Wei, mind your words and status."
Gu Long also sneered, "I know Zhang Hao. He is arrogant and domineering. In the first assessment, his actions to achieve his goal were outrageous. Our Three Great Academies will absolutely not admit such students. I wonder if Brother Yuan and Brother Lan agree?"
Gu Long looked at the Deputy Deans of the other two Colleges beside him and said lightly.
Yuan Shang, the Deputy Dean of Changfeng Academy, heard this and smiled slightly, "That's right, Dean Feiyun's words are very reasonable. I think so too. Our Changfeng Academy will not accept such students."
Lan Haiping, the Deputy Dean of Tianwu Academy, said lightly, "As long as they are good students, our Tianwu Academy will naturally not refuse."
Although Lan Haiping did not explicitly state his position, his words were watertight, and Gu Long could not exert further pressure. Thus, he just snorted coldly and did not speak.
In a pavilion in the distance,
With a 'crack', a piece of porcelain was smashed.
The Triangular Eyes Martial Warrior was extremely angry. After plotting for so long, he still failed. Not only was Zhang Hao not killed, but he also took first place in the second stage again. The Triangular Eyes Martial King felt like he had been slapped in the face again.
Five days later, the final results were out.
In the second stage, Yan Siqing was sixth,
Nangong Jin was seventh,
Xiao Jue was eighth,
Cai Fengchen was ninth,
Wang Zekai was tenth.
This ranking greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
