Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 564 - 56: Last and Second to Last

About those two legendary new female freshmen, according to several Martial Saint Masters who arrived at the Magic Elite Camp, those two have already been expelled from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.

Bao Santong could only feel regret for a moment.

However, in Bao Santong’s line of work, when old gossip dies, new gossip must be fervently excavated.

So he scurried about the town’s tea houses and taverns every other day, relying on buying information and inquiring about tidbits.

The moment he saw Qi, he immediately ran over, because Qi was not someone seen often.

On the Sakura Grass List, Li Shao is the one most frequently seen, always popping up everywhere—a typical peacock man.

Bao Santong was almost immune to Li Shao, too lazy to gather his information.

As for Ye Beiming’s regular drinking spots, they were also quite predictable.

Only Qi was elusive, hardly seen even once a year.

And precisely because of Qi’s mysteriousness, all sorts of news about Qi also sold the best.

Ever since he restored his appearance with the help of the Snake Brilliance Tutor, he rose rapidly within the Mainland Elite Camp and won the adoration of a group of female Mages and female warriors.

But Qi was low-profile, and compared to Ye Beiming and Li Shao, there was hardly any information about him.

Bao Santong had secretly followed Qi a few times, attempting to pry some information from him, only to be discovered by Qi, who, without a word, poisoned him. The poor guy had diarrhea for ten days and nights, nearly ending up meeting King Yan.

Since then, whenever Bao Santong saw Qi, he would clench up, careful and cautious, fearing he might be taught another lesson by the other party.

"It’s good that you know. The two of them, we brothers are looking out for, don’t you get any ideas. Besides, you can’t afford to mess with their tutor. Their tutor is a Dark Gold Master," Gu Feng spent eight gold coins to buy two pieces of information.

"Ah! Under a Dark Gold Master, alas, what a pity, no matter how beautiful the cherry blossoms are, they can’t last through spring," Bao Santong suddenly lost all interest, not even looking at Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling before taking the money and leaving.

Donghuang Lingling and Yun Sheng both tried hard to suppress their laughter, it seemed there were really quite a few interesting people in the Mainland Elite Camp.

"Hey, stop looking at those cherry blossoms and Sakura Grass Lists, those are just fringe news. Look what I have here, these two are key."

The two pieces of information in Gu Feng’s hands were the newly released Newcomer Potential Index List and Comprehensive Magic (Power) List of the Magic (Martial Artist) Elite Camp.

The two lists varied in length, the Potential List included all the freshmen who joined the camp this year, from rank one to the last, a total of six hundred and seventy people.

The Comprehensive List, however, only ranked the top one hundred.

The names of Martial Artists and Mages were listed separately.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder they say this year’s freshmen are strong. Look, Feng Tian, who ranks first on the Newcomer Potential Index, is actually at the peak of being a Holy Mage, just a step away from becoming a Sky Mage," Gu Feng couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement. When he and Qi first arrived, the highest potential among them was only a Junior Holy Mage.

"Yun Sheng, then what’s our ranking?" Donghuang Lingling snatched the Potential List and read it from top to bottom.

After some effort, she finally found Yun Sheng’s name at the end of the list, while hers was just ahead, coming in at second to last.

"Uh... We’re that bad! It’s such a pitfall, the people from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp are so strong!" Donghuang Lingling felt a sense of shame.

In fact, she should have been the very last because she moved ahead due to the use of Forbidden Medicine, but ended up just above Yun Sheng at second to last.

"Hey, this is only the initial ranking. There will be another assessment at the end of the year. Mages from Great Zhou City always end up at the bottom of the list, but we do much better on the Combat Power Ranking!" Gu Feng coughed a few times.

"Yes, don’t worry too much about it. When Qi and I came here three years ago, we were also almost at the bottom of the Potential List..." Qi started to comfort her but was immediately silenced by Gu Feng with a slap over the mouth.

Gu Feng desperately signaled Qi with his eyes, resolutely preventing him from revealing the fact that he once ranked last on the Potential List.

Yun Sheng had a guess and didn’t point it out. Glancing again at the top ten of the Comprehensive Magic List, what surprised her were two familiar names: Tang Yuan and Li Shao, and the Bright Female Mage Lan, who she had once encountered in Luoxia City.

"Since you two are seniors now, how are your overall rankings?" Upon hearing Qi’s words, Donghuang Lingling felt a bit relieved and was also curious about the performance of Yun Sheng’s companions.

"Qi and I both entered the Dutian Beast Blood Realm just last year. He’s ranked three hundred seventy, and I’m at four hundred eighteen. Among the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, we’re in the mid-range and not even in the top hundred," Qi replied, to Yun Sheng’s surprise.

Yun Sheng was very clear about the strength of Qi and Gu Feng.

Their rankings weren’t too shocking. With several thousand old students in the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, ranking in the three or four hundreds should already be considered quite good.

However, Qi’s Poison Magic had only grown stronger under the peculiar tutelage of the Snake Brilliance Tutor. His ranking was actually lower than Gu Feng’s?

"Qi, this guy, still likes to go it alone just like before, which is why his progression is slow. I joined a battle team, so my ranking has climbed much faster," Gu Feng explained sheepishly, admitting that, in terms of true ability to kill Blood Cloud Beasts, he couldn’t compare to Qi.

"Too many people, too much hassle. I have Little Qing, that’s enough for me," Qi said conclusively.

"Ah, you just don’t know how to adapt. Fighting solo, when will you break into the top hundred and enter the inner circle of the Beast Blood Realm? Look at Chen Lianlian, she knows how to adapt much better. She’s also a Mage, not a Light Mage, but just by teaming up with several male Mages and warriors from the top hundred, she made it into the top hundred of the Magic Power List in just three years," Gu Feng pointed at the Magic Power List.

Chen Lianlian’s name was clearly listed in ninety-ninth place on the Magic Power List. It’s undeniable that a woman’s appearance is a very effective weapon in the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.

"Hmph, we certainly won’t learn from her. That Chen Lianlian, just by looking, you can tell she’s no good," Donghuang Lingling said with a look of disgust.

"How so, after entering the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, Mages can still form teams with Martial Artists?" Yun Sheng glanced again at the Martial Artist Elite Camp’s list, but to her surprise, she didn’t find Ye Beiming’s name.

"Yes, if you have a trustworthy Martial Artist as a partner, of course, you can form a team. After all, Mages and Martial Artists are naturally the most suitable partners. Oh right, Yun Sheng, your fiancé, Ye Beiming, is in the Martial Artist Elite Camp. He’s quite formidable. At that time, he was ranked within the top ten of the Potential List," Gu Feng suddenly remembered, mentioning the marriage arrangement between Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming.
