Chapter 373: Entering the Top Eight

After defeating Yuan Fei, Chu Yunfan immediately left the ring.

Just as Yuan Fei had said—from here on would be the real battles. The opponents that Chu Yunfan was about to face would be elite students of the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage. Those in the eighth level should have all been eliminated.

Chu Yunfan was the only person in the eighth level of the Energy Refinement Stage who had held on till now. After all, it was not that easy to fight against someone of a higher level. These people were smart and any one of them was the best among those of the same level.

Only Chu Yunfan could achieve this feat!

After Yuan Fei’s defeat, Chu Yunfan received a fresh wave of emails from the instructors. These instructors were of a higher level than the previous ones. But for Chu Yunfan, they were still far from enough. He was not in a hurry to make a decision.

The following matches were as Chu Yunfan had expected. Each match was more intense than the last.

Round 22!

Round 23!

Round 24!

In three consecutive rounds, Chu Yunfan encountered students of the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage. It was clear that the following matches would only be those of the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage.

After the consecutive matches, Chu Yunfan became a legend and an outstanding figure among these students. This was because he was the only one who was at the eighth level of the Energy Refinement Stage while the others were all clearly at the ninth level. However, Chu Yunfan was able to win every single battle.

Even when Chu Yunfan was facing a top expert in the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage, he was not at a disadvantage at all. On the contrary, he ended his battles with an absolutely stunning performance every single time.

Under normal circumstances, there should not be so many top students participating in the competition for instructors. However, this year was clearly different from the past years. The battles that could only be seen after one had become the champion were now happening frequently. In the end, all the battles reached the level of those who could become the champion in the past.

There were all sorts of intense battles, and the people who were watching were practically shouting in satisfaction.

There were even students from the second and third years of Federation University who had come to watch. Not everyone had Chu Yunfan’s terrifying cultivation speed. Normally speaking, the students of Federation University could only graduate if they meet the basic requirements of reaching the Acquired Stage. And among them, at least half of the students could barely reach the baseline to graduate when they reached their fourth year.

The further one progressed on the road of cultivation, the more difficult it became. This principle was true for all students of Federation University. For other universities, this graduation requirement of Federation University was harsh.

Ordinary focus universities only required one to reach the Energy Refinement Stage to graduate. Among the students of the top ten universities, those who graduated in the Acquired Stage were the most outstanding ones.

People were divided into different grades and that was just how it was!

Chu Yunfan felt that with his cultivation level, among the sophomores and juniors, he could not be considered weak. However, he had used Dong Fanggao, Jiang Pengfei, and all those in category one as his benchmark.

But in reality, there were not many of these people at Federation University. Adding together all of them from the four grades, there were probably only about a hundred of them. In a single grade, there would only be around twenty of these people. These twenty were the cream of the crop among the millions of examinees in the Federation. The other graduates of these universities were outstanding, but there was clearly a huge gap between them and these people.

Chu Yunfan targeted these people, so it was naturally hard for him to notice that the majority of the sophomores’ cultivation levels were not even as high as his current level.

Looking at these freakish freshmen, the sophomores were filled with sorrow. It was simply too much of a blow. Although they were only one year older, there was nothing more devastating than this.

Among these people, Chu Yunfan was the most special one. He was the only student in the eighth level of the Energy Refinement Stage, but everyone believed that he had the strength of the ninth-level Energy Refinement Stage. They just did not know how strong he truly was.

Up until now, there had not been anyone who could force Chu Yunfan into a corner. This was the most terrifying part.

It was as if no matter who Chu Yunfan met, he could easily defeat the other party. No one really knew how strong he was.

Therefore, when Chu Yunfan would be defeated became a hot topic. If it was in the past, it would not be a problem for Chu Yunfan to become the champion. However, it was because there were too many evildoers this year. This led most to feel that Chu Yunfan could not become the champion. Although he would go very far, the disadvantage of his cultivation level was enough to explain everything.

Just like that, under the gaze of thousands, Chu Yunfan reached the quarterfinals.

After tens of thousands of students of the martial arts major went through round after round of elimination matches, there were finally only eight people left.

And this time, they did not advance to the next round of single-battles. Instead, all eight of them appeared in the ring simultaneously. Countless pairs of eyes instantly looked over. There were at least over 100,000 people watching this big battle. And among them were many top-notch instructors.

This was the first time the top eight were meeting each other.

Chu Yunfan observed these people. And as expected, aside from himself, the rest of the eight were at the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage.

Among these eight, including Chu Yunfan, there were five boys and three girls. Every one of these people possessed extremely powerful auras.

While Chu Yunfan was sizing up these people, these people were also sizing up Chu Yunfan. Compared to the others, there was no doubt that Chu Yunfan’s cultivation level was the lowest. However, they did not think that Chu Yunfan was the weakest. After all, quite a number of ninth-level Energy Refinement Stage students had been defeated by him.

Faced with the gazes of these elite students, Chu Yunfan just smiled. He had already assessed the strength of these people. However, what surprised him the most was that among these people, the strongest was a girl.

This girl was dressed in red and looked like a raging fire. Her skin was as fair as snow, her eyes were like waves, and her eyebrows were like distant mountains. She possessed the typical classic Chinese beauty. However, she carried a valiant air that was not found in classical beauties. She held two swords in her hands.

Although these people were all very strong, Chu Yunfan could determine that this girl was the strongest.

Chu Yunfan had all the information about the top eight. This young lady was called Bai Bingwu. She belonged to an aristocratic family—the Bai family. However, she was not considered to be a direct descendant.

If Bai Bingwu had been a direct descendant, there would have been no need for her to participate in this instructor competition. The family would naturally think of ways to arrange the best instructors for her. For example, Chu Xuelian. Her strength was not as good as Chu Yunfan’s, but there were top-notch instructors arranged by the family waiting for her.
