They weren't stupid. A talent who was able to enter the Star Rankings definitely wasn't weak. They would be asking for humiliation if they went up now.
Even if they wanted to challenge Wang Teng, they would wait for a few years after entering the stellar academies.
Many people felt that Wang Teng was stupid to choose the Seventh Stellar Academy. They were being polite when they called him unwise. Actually, many people were mocking Wang Teng secretly.
They felt that after choosing the Seventh Stellar Academy, Wang Teng's future was half-destroyed no matter how talented he was.
They might not be as powerful as Wang Teng now, but they could catch up with him in a few years.
There were instances like this in the past.
Many talents who entered the Seventh Stellar Academy were full of confidence at the start but after a few years, they became ordinary.
This was why the Seventh Stellar Academy was always at the bottom.
