Looking at the colorful array of students ahead, Xin Yun knew that with the start of the challenge, those with just a modicum of talent were bound to be eliminated; the student composition of each grade level was going to shift dramatically.
According to the academy's customs, first year students were not allowed to challenge, a rule known as the "prohibition of dueling," but once a year passed and the ban was lifted, the first thing to be undertaken was the ranking competition!
The so-called ranking competition was something that every class must undergo, pitting students against each other in combat. After a series of battles, the class champion, runner-up, bottom-ranked, and all other rankings were determined, and those who ranked in the last ten would be demoted to the lower class. If one were in the extracurricular eleventh class, they would be transferred to the first branch, just like Ming Xuan, losing the qualification to study at the main campus.
