The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Yuwen Hao, Xu Kai, Lin Ruqing, and Pang Liang looked at the chaotic People's Square, and then at the group of outstanding young people of their age who were being taken away by the law enforcement team.

Lin Ruqing: "Sigh, I was thinking of taking Song Gua, my junior, around to play, but I forgot that he's no longer in our circle."

Pang Liang: "You don't realize your own worth. After Song Gua, you'll only deal with people like potential stars and supernovas. As for us? Ha, we're nothing but ants."

Yuwen Hao glared at Pang Liang. "Don't spread rumors. Old Song isn't that kind of person."

Xu Kai nodded firmly, "That's right! By the way, does the fact that Longtan treated us to a day in the city still count?"

Yuwen Hao: "I am also very concerned about this issue."

Lin Ruqing looked at the two heartless guys and shook her head.

After that day, news of several battles that took place in People's Square spread like wildfire online.

Related reports are everywhere.

"Song Gua, the Star of Yunshan! A prodigy who stormed from a small town into the capital!"

Punching down the supernova! Kicking the rookie king! An unstoppable new star is rising!

"On the Number of Outstanding Graduates This Year, and How Powerful is Song Guayi!"

In World War I, he demolished People's Square and crushed the new representatives who were heavily invested in by the eight major forces.

Song Gua's purpose of intimidating the heroes of the capital can be considered achieved.

After that, he really rarely encountered challengers.

However, it's unlikely that it can be completely eliminated, as there will always be stubborn and overconfident individuals.

Tong Zhan's incessant shouting echoed through the law enforcement team's office building.

"I said I'll pay! Release everyone else! I, Tong Zhan, will take full responsibility for my actions!"

The guy, wearing abyssal rock handcuffs, was banging on the interrogation table, making a loud "bang" sound.

Shen Feng walked into Tong Zhan's interrogation room and said seriously.

"Tong Zhan, please cooperate with our statement taking. We will make our own judgment on whose responsibility it is. Do you think this is a martial arts world where one person does something and is responsible for it all?"

Tong Zhan put one leg up on the table.

"Are you the law enforcement officer in charge of the People's Square area? If you do this, who will dare to accept my challenge, Tong Zhan, in the future? You're putting me in a very difficult position."

Shen Feng was speechless.

It was you who challenged and violated the rule against fighting in the city, making it difficult for the law enforcement teams in various districts of Shangjing City. How did it become that I made things difficult for you?

Zhu Xin, Song Gua, and others were also giving statements, explaining what had happened.

After the statement was completed, Shen Feng looked at Song Gua's statement and said to him.

"Although you were forced to fight, according to the code of conduct for professionals in Kamijing City, both parties involved in a fight must bear necessary responsibilities, and you may face several days of detention."

The clone seemed completely indifferent.

"It's fine, detain me if you want."

Just kidding, being able to take the blame for the original body is a great achievement.

"Tong Zhan will take full responsibility for the damage to the square; the matter of compensation is none of your concern."

"It's good that we don't lose money."

Just as Shen Feng finished reading the review decision, Yue Sheng walked in.

"Song Gua doesn't need to be detained; someone has bailed him out."

"Who?"

"Tong You, the Great Elder of the Tong Clan."

"It was Tong Zhan's request, wasn't it?"

"He always does this, doesn't he?"

"Sigh, this kid is putting us in a difficult position. If he keeps doing this, sooner or later he'll even destroy the credibility of law enforcement in Beijing."

Yue Sheng patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, some things are tacitly approved by the higher-ups. Release him, Song Gua, you can go now. Go and report to the school."

This clone is quite disappointed that it can't go to jail for the original body.

"No, handle it however you see fit, I'm willing to take responsibility!"

Yue Shengdao.

"Bail does not mean you are absolved of responsibility. If you violate the Professionals Ordinance during your bail period, you will be subject to double penalties. So if anyone challenges you in the next few days, be sure to report it to law enforcement immediately and do not accept the challenge."

"What if they use a challenge order against me?"

Yue Sheng smiled and took out a large wooden sign, half a meter long, from his backpack. It had two golden characters on it: "No War".

"If you get challenged, use this item. The challenge order will be invalidated, but it has a limited number of uses. I think it should be enough for you until your bail period ends."

"Okay, thanks. I've accepted your gift again."

Yue Sheng gestured for Shen Feng to go outside for a moment, then sat down in front of Song Gua.

"Do you know why these young people in Shangjing City are so warlike? Even though they know you are ranked higher than them on the Earth Ranking, they still want to challenge you."

The clone indicated that it had no interest in this.

He only wanted to serve his own life by going to jail.

However, the headquarters prioritized the Song hexagram concept.

Why?

"They're here to probe your strengths, understand your combat style, explore your class, and even the effects of your skills."

"what?"

"In preparation for the Rookie King Challenge, which will be held in October, more than a month from now."

The Rookie King Challenge is an annual event for recent graduates held in Kamijing City, and it is very famous in the professional community.

Beijing already has the most professional universities in all of China's administrative regions, and the number of good universities is several times that of other first-tier cities, and much more than that of first- and second-tier cities.

This place gathers the best new professionals in the entire administrative region.

In addition, the headquarters of the three major clans and the five major guild alliances are all located here.

There are also many first- and second-tier families in the city. They are suppressed by the three major clans in the capital, but in other cities, they might be the largest financial groups.

The quality of students in Shangjing City is undeniable.

As the capital of the administrative district, Kamijō City has sufficient resources, both in quantity and quality, to support so many powerful forces.

Winning first place in the Rookie King Challenge in Beijing basically means that this person is the strongest among the graduating students that year.

It's a very old-fashioned premise; I've seen Song Gua in many old online novels.

He wasn't very interested in being the number one newcomer.

But Song Gua knew that Yue Sheng's personal remark meant there was more to it than met the eye.

"Are they working so hard because the reward is so good?"

"It's alright. First place means you get the title of Rookie King, and you also get a level 60 artifact with the 'Free and Easy' attribute, +10 enhancement, five sockets, and Lv10 gems."

"This is considered average?"

"For clans and guild alliances, it's nothing special; they can afford to invest heavily in training new faces."

"That makes sense, huh? Then why are they so obsessed with becoming the number one newcomer?"

"Candidates".

Sure enough, there was information I didn't know.

"I can't tell you more, but I just want to tell you that even if you don't care about the artifact rewards, you should still participate in this competition. The rewards will definitely far exceed your expectations."

At the bandit headquarters, Song Gua pondered the true meaning of the words "candidate".

Can't figure it out.

forget about it.

However, judging from the high fighting spirit of the strongest newcomers in the clans and guild alliances, it's not hard to see that they know something. Why not ask them?

However, since Yue Sheng personally came forward to say these words, it was clear that the matter was not trivial, so I should get involved to avoid missing out on anything.

Besides, even without that candidate, wouldn't it be worthwhile to get such a high-level artifact?

Anyway, there's not much pressure dealing with those rotten apples.
