Upon hearing Lin Yinghao's words, Jian Qingqiu's face changed drastically, and he stood up again, asking hurriedly, "How is that possible? Who else?"
For Lingyun Academy to have one person on the Top 100 list was already an extraordinary achievement, but to have a second person?
Lin Yinghao, with a bitter expression, said, "Gong Shaoqing, Dongfang Yu, Bai Junyu, and Xia Zhiqing all made it onto the Top 100 list."
Upon hearing this, Jian Qingqiu couldn't help but stare in disbelief at Lin Yinghao. He wondered if he had misheard.
"You're saying Dongfang Yu and the others made it onto the Top 100 list? How is that possible?" Jian Qingqiu was speechless. "Returning alive and making it onto the Top 100 list are completely different concepts!"
Jian Qingqiu, from the bottom of his heart, didn't believe that this was possible at all.
Making it onto the Top 100 list was never an easy feat.
Even in the history of the Qingxiao Kingdom, there had only been one cultivator who made it onto the Top 100 list. How could Lingyun Academy suddenly have so many cultivators climbing onto the list together?
It was simply a fantasy!
"Principal, it's true," Lin Yinghao's face was serious, and he handed a letter to Jian Qingqiu, saying, "Take a look at this, and you'll know."
When Lin Yinghao first heard the news, he also thought there must be some mistake. Such a thing was simply impossible.
But the facts forced him to admit that everything was true.
Even if they didn't want to believe it, there was no way around it.
Jian Qingqiu took the letter from Lin Yinghao's hand and opened it. Inside, he saw the rankings of the Top 100 list in the assessment competition.
Jian Qingqiu looked through the list from the 100th position, but he couldn't find the names of Xia Zhiqing and the others. He furrowed his brows. It simply wasn't there!
However, when Jian Qingqiu's gaze landed on the 30th position, his expression suddenly turned grim.
"30th place, Xia Zhiqing.
29th place, Bai Junyu.
28th place, Dongfang Yu.
27th place, Gong Shaoqing.
How... how is this possible?"
Jian Qingqiu widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
He looked left and right, feeling that all of this was unreal. However, deep down, he knew that there was no reason for anyone to fake this, and there was no need to do so.
"Dongfang Yu actually ranked 28th in the assessment competition. Based on his strength, how is that possible?"
Jian Qingqiu had a deep impression of Dongfang Yu. Back then, Nangong XiuJie humiliated Dongfang Yu in every possible way, yet Dongfang Yu didn't have the slightest ability to fight back.
However, this Dongfang Yu, who was seemingly powerless, had managed to achieve such remarkable results on the Top 100 list. It was truly unbelievable!
But... the black words written on the letter clearly stated that it was true. What exactly was going on?
"We don't know why it turned out this way. The royal family confirmed it multiple times and ultimately confirmed that it is true," Lin Yinghao spoke up.
Jian Qingqiu's face turned so gloomy that it seemed water could drip from it. If the cultivators from Lingyun Academy had achieved such outstanding results, then what did they have to compete with Lingyun Academy?
Not to mention that all the suppression they had done over the years had been in vain. Now Lingyun Academy was standing tall, and the unlucky ones were likely to become them.
Just the thought of this made Jian Qingqiu feel utterly unacceptable.
He had arrogantly oppressed Lingyun Academy for so many years. If the situation were to reverse, what would he do?
