Thus far, the newest recruits had entered the academy for one year. During this period of time, many disciples had risen in fame, and a ranking of top 100 disciples had also been released. The ranking was known as the Dragon Phoenix List, and each of the disciples on the list was an extraordinary genius.

Of the 100 disciples, the hidden genius disciples, Baili Yixiao the Smiling Swordsman occupied the first place. Zhan Wushuang the Fist Emperor occupied the second place, Yu Ziyang the Holy Son of the Yu Clan occupied the third place, Ouyang Chuanqi of Ouyang Clan occupied the fourth place, Huang Wuji of the Dusk Dynasty occupied the fifth place, Yu Caidie the Holy Maiden of the Yu Clan occupied the sixth place, Han Chenfei of the Glacier Palace occupied the seventh place, Xiao Xie of the Severing Saber Manor occupied the eighth place, Long s.h.i.+ occupied the ninth place, Ye Linshan occupied the tenth place, and so on.

The first eight disciples were more or less the same eight strongest freaks. Meanwhile Long s.h.i.+ and Ye Linshan had squeezed themselves into the top 10. Both of them had displayed an extraordinary talent during the a.s.sessment. They possessed high-grade eight-star innate elemental physiques, comparable to Di Lin's physique.

Di Lin hadn't been able to enter the top 10 and wasn't even part of the top 20. He currently occupied the 39th place. But the only reason for that was due to his relatively lower cultivation level due to his age. Given a year or two, he would be able to climb higher.

As for Huo Xudong, he was within the top 100, while people like Di Tong and Tang Longfei weren't even part of the top 100. One ought to know the weight of this ranking list. The placings were all based on the accomplishments of the new disciples after a year of hard work.

Some of the disciples who had failed to enter the top 100 weren't necessarily weaker; they simply hadn't been as dazzling as those on the list. Naturally, many of the disciples were working hard to one day enter the list. Just by entering the list, they would be guaranteed a certain status amid the numerous geniuses of the dominion.

During the year, Tang Longfei, Lady Shura, and Ning Wenhuang had been cultivating hard. Tang Longfei was now a first-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, and when ranked among all the disciples, he was within top 5,000.

The top 100 list was known as the Dragon Phoenix List while the top 1,000 list was known as the Jiao Luan List. As for the list including all the new disciples, it was known as the Serpent Fowl List.

The naming style of three rankings were rather interesting. From a serpent to a jiao, and from a jiao to a dragon. From a fowl to a luan, and from a luan to a phoenix. The three were the same lists that had been repeatedly used generation after generation in the academy.

As for Tang Longfei, he occupied the upper-middle range of the Serpent Fowl List. After all, there were about 20,000 new disciples in their batch in addition to the large number of followers. Thus, compet.i.tion was tight.

As for Xiang Shaoyun, who had initially astonished everyone, he was now ranked at the middle range of the Serpent Fowl List. The reason his ranking was so low was because rumors of him cultivating nine different powers had spread. He had even been locked up at the forbidden Back Graveyard by the princ.i.p.al.

It was an extremely harsh punishment, and those who had left the Back Graveyard had mostly ended up with slight mental issues or had completely gone mad. Some had even directly died there. In short, very few people had survived that place intact.

Since Xiang Shaoyun was only an eighth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator, n.o.body believed he would end well after being thrown there, which was the reason for his low ranking. Everyone believed that after a period of time, his name would probably be removed altogether.

As the followers of Xiang Shaoyun, Han Qianwei and Han Xuewei had indirectly suffered the humiliation on his behalf. Due to their beauty, the two were akin to snow lotuses that gave one an urge to pluck them. Furthermore, the two weren't too strong and were at the bottom of the Serpent Fowl List, even if they had already reached initial eighth-stage Skysoar Realm from peak sixth-stage.
