"This is also the main reason for the change in the rules this year." Yang Qingtian smiled at the crowd.

"You all know that in the Rising Sun's grand ceremony, the freshmen are the main characters, the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky are the green leaves, and you seniors are the spectators …" Yang Qingtian continued speaking.

What he was talking about was the rule of the Azure Province's past great ceremony for new students.

The Freshmen Rites of the past had always been a stage for all freshmen. During the Freshmen Rites, it was to check on the progress of the students' training these days, as well as to select outstanding geniuses and focus on their training.

After the Freshmen Rankings, there would be the Clear Sky Challenge Competition.

This is a convention.

After the Freshmen Rankings, all of the top hundred ranked disciples of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, which was also the students of the inner courtyard, would appear at the Rankings.

Their role was to allow the freshmen to challenge them.

Any freshman could use their own strength to pick students from the Proclamation of Azure Sky and challenge them.

If he won, he could naturally replace the defeated student and officially become a student of the Proclamation of Azure Sky. However, if he lost, his ranking would only remain the same. However, it would have no effect on the new student.

Therefore, the new students who had challenged the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky did not think too much about it. They did not care whether they had a chance or not, but they would still choose to challenge them.

What if he won? After all, no one could say for sure.

However, this year's change in the rules had taken place here. After Yang Qingtian explained it to everyone for a long time, everyone finally understood why the change happened this year.

It turned out that the changes to the rules this year were mainly concentrated on the future challenges.

This was also the matter that Yang Qingtian had mentioned earlier regarding those older students.

In fact, apart from the new students and the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, there were also many students who had entered the Azure Province Academy for many years, but had not yet entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky.

And this kind of student was actually the main force of the Azure Province Academy.

For these students, the Azure Province Academy would also arrange for a Clear Sky Challenge Competition, in other words, for the older students to challenge the students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.

Compared to the new students, the Qing-Yun Challenge Competition was even more exciting.

After all, the senior students' overall strength was much stronger than the new students'. Naturally, he had an even greater advantage.

And this was also the opportunity that Qin Wentian had mentioned earlier.

This time, at the same time as the freshmen ceremony, the seniors would also spar with each other.

The senior students of the north, south, east, and west academies had chosen the number one senior student. This number one senior student also had the right to enter the Tian Luo secret realm.

After that, when the freshmen ceremony ended, the new and old students would participate together in the Clear Sky Challenge Competition.

After understanding all the changes in Yang Qingtian, all the students once again began to discuss, especially those seniors.

However, after everyone discussed for a moment, they finally understood the intentions of the Azure Province Institute.

"It should be a competition between the Five Great Academies …"

A few older students discussed, and this discussion naturally reached Lin Tian's ears.

"So that's how it is!" Lin Tian also immediately understood.

Tian Luo, not only had the Azure Province Academy, there was also the Misty Academy, the Royal Academy, the Sword Inquisition, and the Tiger and Wolf Battalion.

These five academies were the five great academies of Tian Luo.

The purpose of the establishment of the Five Great Academies was to transport and nurture talent for Tian Luo.

In Tian Luo's thousand years of development, the students of the Five Great Academies had all played an extremely important role.

After these students had grown up, they would either become great figures in the military, or they would remain in the Five Great Academies and become instructors, or even principals.

Other than that, there were also the Tian Luo Guards who entered the Imperial City to defend the Imperial Family's interests.

Some of them had even been entrusted by the royal family with important tasks. Some of them had gone to war to open up their territories, while others had become ministers of the royal family to do secret missions. For example, to investigate the secret missions of the Blood Devil Sect.

All in all, among the talents that the Five Great Academies sent over, no one had a nameless status.

But the precursor is that they are real people.

Amongst the Five Great Academies of Tian Luo, there was a Hidden Dragon Rank. Only those who entered the Hidden Dragon Rank could be called Tian Luo's true genius.

Before, no matter if it was the rank 6 Heaven's Chosen student that Lin Tian was evaluated as when he entered the Azure Province Academy or the hundred disciples on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, although they were all geniuses, they were only geniuses of the Azure Province. Or to be more precise, they were the geniuses of the Azure Province Academy, not the geniuses of the Tian Luo Kingdom.

If he wanted to become a genius of Tian Luo, and be recognized and acknowledged by Tian Luo, there was only one way, and that was to enter the Hidden Dragon Rank.

However, it was extremely difficult to enter the Hidden Dragon Rank.

Even the only genius in the Northern Courtyard who could compete with the geniuses of the Five Great Academies, the white-robed Sheng Ji, could only barely make it onto the secondary potential rankings of the Hidden Dragon Rank.

Of course, this was only the ranking from two years ago.

In the past two years, Ji Junge's improvement should have long been on the official rankings.

And now, the Northern Academy had gathered all these competitions together. Firstly, it was probably because the Tian Luo Mystic Realm was about to open, and secondly, it was also for the Five Great Academies' competition.

Thinking of this, the crowd immediately understood and did not say much.

Yang Qingtian was responsible for explaining the rules. Next up was to bring them directly to the competition venue.

This time, the Missions Pavilion's instructor, Zhang Feng, was still bringing in new students. As for the other instructors, Qian Jue was bringing along the older students. The remaining students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky were personally led by Yang Qingtian.

Now that the rules had been explained, the next step was for the students to go back and pack up, preparing to head to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range together.

Lin Tian was still considered a new student, even though he was ranked seventy-seventh on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.

After a short while of cleaning up, everyone followed Zhang Feng out of the North Courtyard.

At the same time, the instructors from the East Branch, West Branch, and South Branch brought the students from their respective academies and one by one rushed to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

This time, the location of the Freshmen Competition chosen by the Azure Province Academy was located in an extremely famous place in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range — — the Withering Bloom Swamp.

This was the famous land of death in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. It had all sorts of terrifying creatures and was filled with all sorts of dangerous places.

The group of new students felt apprehensive. They weren't worried about anything else but their own safety...
