Chapter 218: Division (2/2)

Each Class has 5 Divisions. Division 5 being the weakest, Division 1 being the strongest. During the year, disciples will have the opportunity to move up the divisions, but only those in the 1st Division can challenge those in a higher class. So that means, those in the 5th Division could lose their spot in their class if someone in the 1st Division of a lower class defeats them.

The only exception to this rule were those who were placed directly into a class after taking the outer court exam. These disciples would be automatically placed into the 5th Division, and for the rest of the year they wouldn't have to worry about being demoted to a lower class.

...

Ye Ming explained it to Xiao Fang as best as she could.

”So, what division did you make it to last year?” Xiao Fang asked.

”3rd, but I think I can make it to the 2nd before the end of this year,” she said.

”Only the 2nd Division? You don't think you can make it to the 1st?”

”Of course not. The girls in the 1st Division are in a whole different league. If it wasn't for the incident, they all would've made it to the Dragon-Class by now.”

This was the second time Xiao Fang was hearing about an incident, but again he didn't bother to ask more about it since it didn't concern him.

Ye Ming tried to guess what Division Xiao Fang would get put into. Considering that he was stronger than her, she assumed he'd at least get the 2nd Division, but she refused to believe that he'd be strong enough to get put into the 1st Division? Thinking about it reminded her of Su Yun's words.

Ye Ming looked at Xiao Fang again, but this time with a skeptical gaze. Xiao Fang didn't give off the presence of a genius, his natural aura was too underwhelming.

'Why's he still wearing a blindfold?'

In the middle of that thought, Xiao Fang began to walk away.

”Hey, where're you going?” she asked.

”I'm going to class. Come find me inside when you're done out here.”

Ye Ming didn't understand, so she quietly watched as he approached the teachers-assistant that was standing in front of the classroom doors. The teacher's assistant was none other than Su Lingxi.

”It's good to see you again, Long Wang,” she said with a warm smile.

”Good to see you too, Elder Su.”

After a brief exchange of words, Su Lingxi used her spirit qi to draw the number 5 in the air before directing it towards Xiao Fang chest. When her qi reached his black robes it left a small golden imprint of the number 5. Tracking the movement of her hand, he knew what she drew, so he could guess what it meant. As Ye Ming explained, he was automatically put into the 5th Division.

Once she was done, she finally let him through, and Ye Ming watched in sheer disbelief as she watched from the line.

'No way. Could he be...'

To be as strong as he was, she couldn't believe that he came directly from the outer court. Everyone in the Phoenix-Class were geniuses and future Elders or Core Court disciples, but to be as strong as Xiao Fang was after coming straight out of the Outer Court was unheard of. What she still didn't know was that Xiao Fang was only 19 years old.
