Steward Hall. This is a courtyard independent of the various institutes of Destiny Academy.

It is responsible for registering new disciples and announcing various rankings!

As Chu Feng walked along, many Outer Court disciples around him pointed and whispered.

"That's Chu Feng!"

"He's only fifteen, yet he defeated Ye Qing. It seems our Outer Court has gained another disciple worth competing for!"

"Hmph!"

"Defeated Ye Qing? Is he even worthy? Junior Sister Ye Qing was just at a critical stage of refining her bone and spirit vein. He merely took advantage of the situation!"

Many were whispering.

Clearly, the news of his battle with Ye Qing had spread throughout the academy!

"The various institutes of the academy!"

Chu Feng didn't mind and focused on the important information.

Destiny Academy is roughly divided into two major courtyards: the Inner and Outer Courts. The Inner Court disciples are generally geniuses who have reached the Qi Transformation Realm, while the Outer Court is where new disciples like Chu Feng reside, with relatively fewer resources and support!

Within the Inner and Outer Courts, there are also three major specialized institutes!

For example, the Martial Dao Institute where Jin Wuxia is, as well as the Sword Institute and the Pill Institute!

Among these three institutes, the Martial Dao Institute is the most powerful, the Sword Institute is the most declining, and the Pill Institute remains aloof, focusing on pill and artifact refining without engaging in any competition!

"Luo Feiyan should be a disciple of the Pill Institute!"

"And she's a disciple of the Inner Court's Pill Institute!"

Chu Feng pondered and murmured.

Unexpectedly, Luo Feiyan's status is even higher than imagined.

Alchemists are the most mysterious beings on the continent, holding high status, and the disciples of the Pill Institute are mostly alchemists. Moreover, Luo Feiyan is an elite of the Inner Court's Pill Institute!

"Strength, no matter where you are, being strong is fundamental!" Chu Feng clenched his fist.

If he were strong enough to sweep everything before him, then Jin Wuxia would be nothing!

Coming to Destiny Academy, he yearned for strength even more!

"Steward Hall!" At this moment, Chu Feng arrived at an ancient courtyard, sparsely populated, with only a few people gathered in front of a stone tablet at the entrance, observing the inscriptions.

"What is this?" Chu Feng curiously murmured.

"This is the Earth Ranking of the Outer Court!" said a nearby Outer Court disciple, wearing attire inscribed with the words "Martial Dao," clearly a disciple of the Martial Dao Institute.

"Earth Ranking?"

"That's right, the Outer Court has the Earth Ranking, similar to the Heaven Ranking in the Inner Court. Those who make it to the Earth Ranking are the top hundred experts among the three major institutes of the Outer Court!"

The young man said proudly.

Outer Court Earth Ranking!

Chu Feng was slightly moved, his gaze sweeping over the Earth Ranking stone tablet.

"Ranked first, Sword Institute's Yu Feichen!"

"Ranked second, Martial Dao Institute's Jin Wuyan!"

"Ranked third, Pill Institute's Gu Changge!"

The top three spots are occupied by geniuses from the three major institutes, all at the half-step Qi Transformation stage, far surpassing ordinary experts at the Ninth Layer of the Hundred Refinements!

They hold the top positions, making it difficult for others to replace them.

Further down.

Ye Qing's ranking had already reached the top fifty.

"Hmm? The hundredth place is actually me!" Chu Feng was a bit surprised, not expecting to see his own name on the Earth Ranking.

Earth Ranking, hundredth place, Chu Feng!

It is said that this ranking is based on one's battle achievements!

Clearly.

He defeated Ye Qing, but in the eyes of the Outer Court's strong, it was merely taking advantage of the situation, at most possessing the strength to defeat Yang Gang! So he replaced Yang Gang's ranking!

"Who is this Chu Feng?" someone suddenly asked.

"Probably a newcomer!"

"To replace Senior Brother Yang Gang right away, this newcomer is strong!"

"But being too aggressive can lead to a downfall. Just after entering the academy, being so high-profile is hard to sustain. In Destiny Academy, many talented disciples enter with great flair but soon fall like shooting stars!"

Some expressed regret.

Such examples are not uncommon.

The rules of Destiny Academy do not impose many restrictions. The reason for the Earth Ranking is precisely to encourage disciples to compete and promote cultivation! Someone like Chu Feng, who just entered and made it to the Earth Ranking, is too high-profile, which is not necessarily a good thing!

Chu Feng shook his head slightly and walked out of the crowd.

He was not afraid; he would deal with whatever came his way!

However, just as he was about to enter the Steward Hall, a gloomy voice called out.

"Chu Feng!"

Several tall figures blocked his path.

One of them, with a face full of malice, was none other than Yang Gang, who had previously overseen the assessment!

"Is this the Chu Feng?"

Beside Yang Gang were two tall youths with similar cultivation.

Seeing Chu Feng, they sneered.

"Doesn't seem like much! Old Yang, I told you, you're getting worse, letting a kid like this take your ranking!" the two mocked.

"Hmph, does he think he can beat me?"

Yang Gang snorted coldly, "He only won because Ye Qing was weak. Otherwise, why didn't the Outer Court elders let him replace Ye Qing? What is he worth!"

Hearing Yang Gang's words.

Everyone's eyes turned to them.

"So that's how it is!"

"He's Chu Feng? I thought he was really strong? Turns out he just took advantage of the situation, using such despicable means to narrowly win over Ye Qing!"

Many looked at Chu Feng with disdain.

On the Vast Continent, strength is revered, and only the strong are respected, while opportunists are despised!

"Trash!"

Yang Gang spat, standing in front of Chu Feng, coldly saying, "Do you dare to face me in the arena?"

He didn't believe Chu Feng could truly fight beyond his level!

The reason he could defeat Ye Qing was simply that Ye Qing had just entered the Eighth Layer of the Hundred Refinements and was at a critical stage of refining her bone and spirit vein, with unstable cultivation!
