Li Luo's and Wang Hejiu's squads were locked in an exhilarating battle, and many of the mentors' attention was with them.
Even further away, a sparse group of people were sitting on a high wall, watching. It was a good position that allowed them a limited view of all three battlefields.
There were light screens that also showed footage from the various battlefields.
Since the One, Two, and Three Star Hall students were fighting it out, the only ones free enough to sit back and watch were the Four Star Hall students.
They were also the strongest and most experienced students in the Astral Sage College, holding themselves with a confidence befitting their training and elite status. Once they graduated, generous offers would be extended to them from the five Great Houses, the royal court, and other esteemed families.
These Four Star Hall students were lounging around and offered their commentary to each other.
Suddenly, a tall figure landed elegantly on the tall wall, and all eyes shifted over.
They looked at the person with a mixture of surprise and passion.
Gold eyes, a long ponytail, and beauty that was nothing short of divine. Who else but Jiang Qing'e?
Even though she was only a Three Star Hall student, none of the Four Star Hall students present dared to take her lightly. After all, it was no secret that she planned to challenge the Seven Astral Pillars soon.
She was just awesome!
Even Gong Shenjun had only won the title as a Four Star Hall student. If Jiang Qing'e succeeded, she would set a new record.
Jiang Qing'e ignored the looks that had turned her way, walking straight to the One Star Hall side and locking on to a screen.
She heard light footsteps behind her and turned, sensing a shift in the crowd's mood.
The First Princess.
She was not in royal garb today, instead choosing a snug, off-white trouser and blouse combination that looked much more practical. Still, her busty curves strained from below the neckline, and so she had chosen a lavender covering as well, for modesty.
The two women had very different charms. The First Princess had the cold, authoritative bearing of royalty, while Jiang Qing'e had a fresh, straightforward appeal. A stately elegance versus a sinuous one.
The First Princess had a reputation and popularity that matched Jiang Qing'e's, especially among the Four Star Hall students, who respected the two equally. She was the whole package: beauty, brains, and station.
"Junior Jiang, have you finished the ranking battles before the time limit? That's astounding," she said in a friendly manner.
There was a hidden mechanic in the ranking battles. When a squad reached a certain number of points and secured first place, the battle would be declared over even if the deadline of sunset had not yet arrived.
However, it was a mechanic that was rarely activated. After all, the number was not an easy one to reach, requiring an almost perfect clean sweep that included elite squads in the mix.
Jiang Qing'e met her gaze. "We were lucky. Two of the strongest squads didn't cross paths with us, so we were able to end things."
