The crowd outside the Wu Tower could only see that the lights on the third level were on. They did not know how many obstacles Zhang Ruochen had passed.

Not only was Elder Situ in disbelief, but most of the young warriors outside were also highly skeptical.

After all, for a new student, to pass the second obstacle on the third floor was startling news for everyone.

Elder Situ walked to the main doors of the Wu Tower and pressed his hand into a dent in the metal wall where he injected his Genuine Qi.

The Wu Tower was a Genuine Martial Arms. With the energy of Elder Situ’s Genuine Qi, the inscriptions on parts of the Wu Tower came alive.

“Beep!”

The Spiritual Qi mirror on the third floor instantly began to glow white.

The image of Zhang Ruochen attempting the second obstacle on the third floor appeared on its surface.

The nine presbyters, 468 new students, and many senior students stood outside the Tower all staring at the Spiritual Qi mirror.

It showed Zhang Ruochen fighting against 18 refining warriors. He was fighting bravely. Each of his movements was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water. He cut through the 18 refining warriors like a hot knife through butter and defeated them all.

Seeing the battle, the warriors all grew envious, and wished they were Zhang Ruochen fighting against the 18 refining warriors.

The female students stared with glittering eyes and had expressions of surprise on their faces. By the end of the battle, they all looked at Zhang Ruochen with admiration.

Zhang Ruochen’s performance in the Wu Tower was incredible.

In a world where martial prowess was highly respected, young men like Zhang Ruochen had a lot of girls going crazy over him.

“Despicable! He actually managed to get through the second obstacle on the third floor!”

Prince Huo Xing stood amongst the freshmen and gazed coldly at Zhang Ruochen. He decided that he had to get rid of the Yunwu Commandery’s Ninth Prince.

Prince Huo Xing, Zi Qian, and Yao Qingtong were all rare talents, but compared to Zhang Ruochen, they were in different leagues altogether.

They were almost entirely outshined by Zhang Ruochen.

He was the fourth person in the history of Western Campus to accomplish this feat. Who can compare to him?

None of the other freshmen or geniuses managed to pass the third obstacle of the second floor.

By nightfall, Breaking Through the Wu Tower finally ended and 120 of the most talented students became external students of Western Campus in the School of the Martial Market.

The rankings of the new 120 students were quickly assessed. Not surprisingly Zhang Ruochen was ranked number one out of the freshmen.

Zi Qian was second, Prince Huo Xing was third, and Yao Qingtong ranked fourth.

There were six females and four males in the top 10 of the new students.

Luckily, Zhang Ruochen was the top student or this year’s female students would have trumped the male students again.

A total of 15 warriors from Yunwu Commandery and 38 from Square Commandery became the external students of Western Campus.

Overall, in terms of freshmen, Square Commandery had a definite advantage in numbers. However, Yunwu Commandery won first and second place which gave them the better turn out.

Western Campus accepts 120 new students each year and more than half were from Square Commandery. However, they didn’t represent even one-third of the new students this year, which made Prince Huo Xing look bad.

“If it weren’t for Zhang Ruochen and Zi Qian hunting down 10 of the prodigies from Square Commandery in the first round this year, we would have far more than 38 warriors become external students of the school.” Prince Huo Xing’s expression was very serious, and he did nothing to hide his murderous gaze.

“Your Majesty, no matter how genius Zhang Ruochen is, he is only at the Mid Stage of the Black Realm. Given the power of Square Commandery on Western Campus, getting rid of him will be an easy task. As for Zi Qian, killing her seems like such a waste. Why not have her as a concubine?” Xie Zhaowu said.

Prince Huo Xing’s mind clicked, and his eyes narrowed. He smiled and said, “Zi Qian is very talented, she is even ranked above me. If I could have her as a concubine, it would make me even more powerful. But she is very close to Zhang Ruochen, would she agree to this?”

Xie Zhaowu smiled and said, “Zhang Ruochen is the prince of an inferior commandery. If Square Commandery attacked them, he wouldn’t even be a prince. Zi Qian is a smart woman, I believe she will make the right decision. If she continues to resist, we can always take more extreme measures and force her to submit. Faced with violence, I don’t think she will resist.”

Prince Huo Xing’s face revealed a pleased expression and he shifted his gaze to Zi Qian. He noticed she was indeed very beautiful. It would be wonderful if he could have her as a concubine.

When Prince Huo Xing’s gaze again fell on Zhang Ruochen, the smile on his face disappeared. “Zhang Ruochen must die! Xie Zhaowu, go tell Feng Zhilin to come see me tonight.”

Feng Zhilin was the older brother of Feng Zhiyi. He had become an external student of the Martial School two years ago, and his martial cultivation had already reached the Final State of the Black Realm.

Prince Huo Xing decided to use Feng Zhilin to deal with Zhang Ruochen.

Feng Zhilin’s own brother died at the hands of Zhang Ruochen. Being the elder brother, how could he not avenge his sibling?

Becoming an external student meant they must collect the specific robes as well as a waist token and residenc
