Inside the valley.
Andrew Han, dressed in a pale blue T-shirt, walked at the front, followed in order by seventeen Martial Arts Program students, all at the Upper Martial Artist level.
These students mostly came from Empire Academy, Yunhai Academy, Southport Academy, and Deepbay Academy. Their family backgrounds were exceptionally distinguished, and their speech revealed uncommon poise.
But at this moment,
No matter how arrogant or unruly they usually were, all of them restrained themselves.
After all, the one walking ahead of them was Peerless Andrew Han—many of them secretly believed he was the strongest among the Five Hua Generals.
Crack, crack.
Among them was a female Martial Arts Program student with an oval face and delicate, fair skin. She casually snapped off two bright green branches and waved them leisurely, exuding an air of relaxed ease as if strolling through a garden.
A nearby student whispered, "This is the Ranking Battle. You should at least look a little more serious."
The oval-faced girl swung the branches twice, smiling lightly. "Why worry? Andrew Han is here. Before the battle, my dad warned me a hundred times—I was so nervous then, but now I can finally relax."
She was in no hurry, and even seemed a little sleepy.
It wasn’t that she underestimated the Martial Arts Student Ranking Battle, but that she had absolute confidence in Andrew Han.
Beside her,
The student who had just spoken tugged at the corners of his mouth and sighed, "My grandfather gave me a strict order—if I don’t make it into the top hundred of the Ranking Battle, I might as well not come home."
When he finished speaking, the two exchanged a smile.
They came from the same academy and were fairly familiar with each other.
Facing the Ranking Battle, they were anxious too... Even as Upper Martial Artists, they couldn’t guarantee they’d seize a token—there were simply too many unpredictable factors in the melee.
But right now, everyone felt completely confident.
This relaxed confidence came entirely from the pale blue figure leading them—Andrew Han.
Even someone like Duan Qing, an ordinary Hua General, could help three or four students seize a token—let alone someone as overwhelmingly strong as Andrew Han.
