Inside his room, Eli Shan dedicated two more days to cultivating his wind intent and finally grasped its essence.

On this day, while cultivating, he was abruptly interrupted by the resonant voice of the headmaster, "Everyone, prepare yourselves. The ceremony has commenced, and within the hour, it will be time for our grand entry."

Hearing him, Eli Shan rose from his cultivation, putting on a set of sleek silver attire that featured a high collar and a matching silver belt around his waist.

As the hour swiftly passed, every student emerged from their chambers and gathered together in the hallway.

The headmaster looked at them and nodded in acknowledgment. "Give your best and secure victory for our school," he declared.

With unwavering determination, the collective response echoed through the air, "We will not accept defeat, Headmaster!"

A reassuring smile played on the headmaster's lips as the students organized themselves into a line.

Eli Shan stood at the forefront, just behind the headmaster, and observed as another school formed a line next to theirs.

Casting his gaze over them, Eli Shan couldn't help but express his disdain, muttering under his breath, "Tsk, they are all so weak. Do I have to fight with them?"

The students from the Five Elements School, along with their headmaster, who were lining up nearby, overheard his remark and simmered with anger.

The king of the Five Elements School, Gu Xuan, locked eyes with Eli Shan in anger. "You will discover who is truly weaker in the upcoming battle."

Eli Shan ignored Gu Xuan's words with an indifference akin to ignoring an insignificant ant, making him fume with anger.

Just as Gu Xuan was about to say more, a resonant voice echoed throughout the area, "Everyone, today's ceremony has commenced. All participating schools, please come forward."

As the announcement concluded, all schools under the king's banner began to surface from the underground passages. These passages were divided by walls, and in each corridor, two schools were assembled, creating a distinct and organized procession.

In due course, it was Eli Shan's team's turn to make their entrance.

The headmaster took the lead, emerging from the underground first. Feng Qiang, representing the king's status, followed closely behind, accompanied by Hao Yu.

Yeah, Eli Shan, who was supposed to be at the very front, didn't show up.

Gu Xuan, the king of the Five Elements School, searched around for Eli Shan and saw that he was positioned at 25th position in ranking!

Looking at his ranking, Gu Xuan couldn't help but mock, "So he is just a weakling at the 25th position? And he dared to mock us? I will make sure to teach him a lesson!"

Sensing the scrutiny, Eli Shan looked back at Gu Xuan and smiled slyly, "It's your master who mocked us before. Usually, I'm quite the good boy."

The headmaster heard it and smiled inside with satisfaction, "Good good, my student."

With that, Eli Shan emerged from the underground passage, his sleek silver attire catching the glint of the ceremonial lights. As he stood in the crowded arena, his eyes scanned the sea of faces, searching for the two people who mattered most to him—his parents.

Amidst the spectators, a pair of proud faces caught Eli Shan's attention. His mother, with eyes gleaming with maternal pride, and his father, a stoic figure who nodded approvingly at his son's entrance. Eli Shan couldn't help but feel a swell of warmth in his chest at the sight of them.
