The bloodline of the Iron Mantis, which once ranked fifth among the Ten Great Bloodline Families in the Bloodline Wars, while the Gryphon King bloodline, along with the Hydra bloodline and the Titan bloodline, collectively occupied the top three spots among the Ten Great Bloodline Warriors. When the Gryphon King reached the Heavenly Apex Awakening, rumor had it they would be promoted to the Golden Gryphon King! Transforming into the strongest among the strong!

Fourth Place: , Silver Right Angle, Ji Mingfeng, Unicorn Bloodline, Third-Year Student, Height 1.73 meters, Arm Span: Classified. Strength, Unknown, Special Combat Skill, Unknown— “Unicorn Bloodline?” Qian Jin’s hand, holding the notebook, trembled slightly. The notes left by the ultimate bloodline awakened warrior ancestors of the Qian family frequently mentioned the Unicorn Bloodline.

These notes claimed that if not for the consistently low population numbers preventing the family from expanding into a massive lineage, this bloodline would have already become the foremost among the Ten Great Bloodline Warriors, second only to the Three Ultimate Bloodline Warriors. The Unicorn Bloodline was exceedingly rare; managing to produce a dozen or so individuals in an entire generation was considered a stroke of immense luck. This bloodline family, much like the legendary reproductive capabilities attributed to the unicorn itself, was very, very weak in propagation.

In very ancient records, notes from the True Strategy Dynasty, the Barbarian Tribes, and even the Demon Race contained documented evidence of the existence of the unicorn beast. The unicorn, resembling a white horse, possessed a single spiral horn on its forehead, emanating an aura of nobility, arrogance, and purity throughout its body. It had a gentle temperament and the power of an Over-Ranked Magical Beast.

If attacked, it would enter a berserk state, becoming the nightmare of any powerhouse, yet its reproductive ability remained low. As time wore on, records of the unicorn had faded for a very, very long time—countless people believed the species was entirely extinct. The tragedy of this magical beast now seemed to be playing out within the very family of the Unicorn Bloodline Warriors.

Rumor had it that the previous generation of Unicorn Bloodline Warriors only saw five individuals awaken their bloodline power… Scanning through the names, Qian Jin unexpectedly discovered a few names belonging to first-year student warriors. This discovery immediately captured his attention. First-year students had only just enrolled, yet someone had already managed to rank seventh!

, Giant, Titan Iron Curtain! First-year freshman, Titan Bloodline Warrior, Height 2.23 meters… Titan Iron Curtain? Qian Jin blinked, wondering if he had misread the name in the pamphlet.

Having lived within the Qian family compound for a time, he had indeed heard the name Titan Iron Curtain—one of the Titan Twin Prodigies of the current Titan generation! A young warrior from the Titan bloodline significant enough to draw the attention of the Qian family itself spoke volumes about his innate talent, potential, and capability. “Headmaster, you are truly remarkable.” Qian Jin had no choice but to look up and offer praise.

The Conquest War Academy clearly maintained close ties with the Gryphon King bloodline family, managing to secure someone like Titan Iron Curtain, which distinctly showcased the competence of Headmistress Isabelle before him. The Ten Great Bloodline Families—were they not all deeply entrenched in honor and pride? Their perpetual goal was always to defeat the Demon Race, suppress the other nine bloodline families, and conquer the Three Ultimate Bloodline Families.

They would never join an academy dominated by a single faction. Yet, someone like Titan Iron Curtain was right here in the Conquest War Academy. “Naturally,” Isabelle responded without the usual humility most people exhibited, tilting her beautiful and proud chin slightly.

“This time, I plan to make a significant splash! The Newcomer King this term, the Conquest Academy must make a showing! Our ranking can only rise, never fall!” Qian Jin looked down at the booklet in his hands, chuckling and nodding repeatedly.

While he remained uncertain of the actual strength of these bloodline warriors, the records in the pamphlet were certainly intriguing. However, other war academies also boasted their own bloodline warriors; only when they truly clashed would anyone know who stood supreme. “Floating Blood’s…,” Qian Jin’s eyes lit up again.

There was still a Floating Bloodline member within the top fifteen. This bloodline, considered mediocre in both quantity and inherent power, managed to secure a fifteenth rank, and moreover, this individual was only a first-year student. It left him speechless.

“Fifteenth?” Isabelle leaned back against her chair, crossing her arms over her chest. “In a few days, his ranking might climb even higher. The Floating type has always been considered the weakest, with its combat capabilities typically strongest only in water.

To achieve this level of strength is genuinely astonishing.” “The Electric Eel Bloodline is only ranked twentieth?” Qian Jin lightly shook the small booklet in his hand, chuckling. Among bloodlines related to aquatic creatures, there were only a few types. Floating was the least esteemed, but the Electric Eel held much promise, especially since rumors claimed the Electric Eel Combat Skill could even generate electrical currents, making them one of the strongest aquatic bloodline warriors.

“It’s not that they are weak; it’s that those ranked above are simply too strong,” Isabelle replied, picking up the coffee from the desk and taking a delicate sip. “The Electric Eel Bloodline warriors still present a worthwhile spectacle.” Battle Roll Rank Ninety-Nine, I-Shui Ba, Cavila, Bloodthirsty Shark Bloodline Warrior, Height 1.92 meters, Arm Span 1.95 meters… Battle Roll Rank One Hundred: , Son of Wind, Mu Nian Tiance! Qian Jin focused his attention on the name at the very bottom of the Battle Roll.

Son of Wind, Mu Nian Tiance? He hadn't expected that the young warrior guiding him earlier was actually the last-ranked member of the Battle Roll. “Son of Wind, Mu Nian Tiance…” Isabelle rose and perched on the edge of the desk with her shapely hips, her beautiful short skirt outlining the long, fair, yet supple curves of her thighs.

“From the day the Battle Roll was established, he has always been the last one. No matter how the rankings shifted, his position at one hundred never changed, much like Tianlian Lingguan at the very top. Maintaining the lowest position indefinitely is no less difficult than maintaining the highest position for an extended period.

Once one is positioned high above, challengers become fewer; who would dare challenge first place before defeating second? But the hundredth spot is different. Simply making it onto the Battle Roll, as opposed to being excluded, represents entirely different tiers of resource allocation.

Even the last place on the Battle Roll commands resources far exceeding those given to the top student on the Elite List.” Ordinarily, the final spot on the Battle Roll should be the easiest to usurp, naturally making it a prime target for numerous challengers. Yet, he has consistently held that final spot. Qian Jin couldn't tell if this Son of Wind, Mu Nian Tiance, was doing this intentionally or simply trying to maintain a low profile.

Holding the hundredth spot for so long didn't quite seem like the behavior of someone intentionally keeping a low profile; rather, it suggested a deliberate disinterest in the Battle Roll, hanging at the bottom spot to cultivate an air of mystery. “Within one week, obtain the Challenge Token for the Battle Roll, otherwise…” Isabelle pointed a finger toward the direction outside the academy gates. “You can pack up and return to your Torrent Battle Fortress…” Challenge Token?

Qian Jin looked at the description of the Challenge Token in the manual; this was the most familiar aspect for him. Every warrior in the academy receives one token, personally discovered by the academy staff, each week. If a warrior already possesses a token, they will not receive another that week.

Those who lose a token can apply for a replacement. Any warrior who accumulates three tokens can challenge the bottom ten ranked warriors on the Elite List. If one token is obtained, they can challenge any of the top ten positions corresponding to that token number.

If one is ranked within the top fifty of the Elite List, they gain the right to challenge the final ten spots on the Battle Roll. Of course, they can also continue to challenge on the Elite List, as resource allocation is also structured sequentially there. This rule felt somewhat familiar.

Qian Jin rubbed his brow, looking up at Isabelle with confusion, and asked, “Adult Headmistress, did you perhaps have a relative who once served as the headmaster at the Magic and Warrior Academy in Oakland…” “Oh? How did you know…” Isabelle smiled, her tone lacking any real surprise, as if everything were already anticipated. “That was a distant relative of mine…” No wonder… Qian Jin shook his head.

While he had heard that many academies maintained rankings of the ten strongest warriors, this level of detailed stratification, as seen in the Conquest War Academy, was a first. Furthermore, he could vaguely detect the shadow of the old headmaster’s rules within it. “This is your token,” Isabelle flicked her wrist slightly, tossing the token out.

“Remember, you only have seven days.” Seven days? Qian Jin sighed. Since he had decided to stay at the Conquest Academy, he might as well give it a try.

This headmistress seemed to enjoy seeing students display their strength, so there was no need to conceal his power—he would simply fight his way up the ranks! He just wondered how strong Tianlian Lingguan truly was. “Biluo, let’s go back and have dinner together tonight…” Qian Jin caught the token and walked toward the exit with Biluo.

“And I can discuss that thing we just saw with you then…” “Mm,” Biluo nodded repeatedly while walking out. A faint smile touched Isabelle’s lips. Biluo, who never socialized with anyone, was interacting so harmoniously with Qian Jin.

“Oh, and kid…” Isabelle called out as Qian Jin paused and looked back, pointing a finger toward Biluo’s back. “Someone asked me to pass along a message to you: thank you…” Qian Jin froze for a moment before nodding immediately. Indeed!

The Headmistress had met Huangquan. No wonder this headmistress, who seemed capable of squeezing oil from a stone, was so placid toward Biluo. Huangquan’s existence alone was enough to ensure the Headmistress treated her with the utmost kindness.

One hundred laps plus various incidents meant the sun was already starting to dip toward the west. Qian Jin glanced at the sun in the sky and gestured an invitation for dinner to Biluo. Without hesitation, Biluo walked out toward the academy gates.

Just before dusk, both warrior and magic students had completed their day’s studies, and students could be seen everywhere within the academy grounds. Qian Jin noticed that even though the Headmaster’s maneuverings had established the magic and warrior departments as two opposing factions, there were still many mixed combinations of warrior and magic students throughout the academy. It seemed the influence of some noble houses was immense, resulting in many becoming retainers to others within just a few months.
