It have been a year since the expedition to the sage world . A year might be long for a mortal but for warriors , it was just a very short time . The origin world have experienced a rapid growth in strength for the past one year as many people have broken through to the void realm , domain and supreme realm respectively . Cultivation states like the grandmaster stage was quite numerous in the origin world now . 
 The people of the sage world have settled down completely and had begun to rapidly increase their strength . The martial palace and the martial army have both issued notice for recruitment and many people have applied for it . 
 The martial lord have been in seclusion since the time he returned . It was said that he was trying to breakthrough to a higher realm . The various martial god and various experts were also in seclusion as everyone tried to get stronger with each passing moment . 
 The martial academy that was established months back have developed quite well . Although the martial lord delayed the establishment of the academy due to lack of manpower and it was later established at a later date , their speed of progress was quite astonishing . The academy was not located in the martial city but rather in a small world that was created by the martial lord within the origin world . 
 Various talents have emerged from the academy in recent times , making rapid progress as they amazed the world with their Supreme talent . The academy was managed by the head master , assisted by 8 vice masters and various teachers who majored in various areas like alchemy , arrray , painting and so on . Below the teachers , the instructors were responsible for managing the students and other miscellaneous tasks . 
 The academy was divided into S , A , B , C ,D and E sections . The S section was for supreme talents that were unmatched by anyone because their achievements were record breaking and seems to be out of this world . The A class were also consisted of top talents that were merely inferior to S class . B , C , D and E were graded likewise respectively . A child's talent was not just determined at first glance but by constant observations and tests . 
 Many children have been promoted from their various classes to a higher one. The academy had a ranking system that was called "Hidden dragon ranking ". To be ranked there , one must show absolute talent both in cultivation and comprehension of martial arts . Though alot of talents have emerged in the origin world , not many of them could make it to the ranking . 
 The first in the ranking was surprisingly Mirian , The granddaughter of Pat who meet the Desolate martial god in the martial world . After awakening her chaos spirit body , she was unmatched in her generation both in terms of comprehension and cultivation speed . Advancing in cultivation stage was like drinking water for her and if not for the teachers that was suppressing her cultivation constantly , she would have far surpassed her current cultivation . 
 She was already at the grandmaster stage at the age of seven , the news of her breakthrough stirred up the whole world as everyone was amazed by her talent . To have a physique that was ranked at the top 3 among the thousands of physiques showed how mighty the physique was . The person that was ranked second was even more strange because he had no special physique at all but his taient and comprehension was very top notch . 
 Although in terms of cultivation , he could not compare to Miran who was already a grandmaster now but in other aspects , he could compete with her . The little boy was called Shino and he was originally from the sage world . His rapid raise made him very famous when he ascended the ranking and placed second within two months overshadowing others on the ranking . 
 There were other talents on the ranking but they were not quite comparable to the two who was known as the "Twin Supremes " of the academy . 
 The monthly competition that usually take place in the martial Academy was already near . The hidden dragon ranking was refreshed every three months and weaker people will be flushed out of the ranking . The hidden dragon ranking only allowed children up to 14 years of age to be ranked on it. Anything above 14 years would have graduated from the academy . The hidden realm was created by the Martial lord and it was used for grading the performances of various children. 
 The atmosphere in the academy was quite dense as many children prepared for the competition . Many of them were trying to breakthrough in their cultivation states so that they will perform better . The people ranked on the ranking was working hard not to be pushed out of it because the ranking only had 100 slots . 
 Dong !!! Dong !!! the bell in the academy rang and that signified that the competition was about to start . Taking in consideration of the recent recruitment by the academy , the population of the academy was roughly around 15, 000 children that was registered in the academy for now and the number will only continue to increase in the nearby future . 
 Various teachers and vice masters sat in the viewing platform as they discussed about the competition . Only the headmaster was absent from the scene . The headmaster was personally appointed by the martial lord and his movements were quite mysterious because he was rarely seen In the academy . The cultivation of all the teachers and vice masters present ranged from the peak of the domain realm to the void realm . The strength of the academy was not weak at all and could be compared to the strength of a single god palace . 
 "Philip who do you think will be ranked first in the hidden dragon ranking this time ". a middle aged man with a short moustache asked with a chuckle . 
 "You already know the answer to this question , apart from that monster , who else is worthy enough to surpass her ". a tall lean young man with green hair smiled slightly as he answered . 
 "That boy Shino might give us a suprise ". The man continued to speculate . 
  Philip shook his head and said " Even though Shino is extremely talented , his cultivation still draws him back ". 
 "Yeah , you are right . I heard that that Miran have already reached the peak of grandmaster stage , a seven year old peak grandmaster stage . Sigh ! ". The man shook his head as he wondered whether he was quite useless or that destiny favoured the girl too much.  
 "Sigh ! , we should not compare ourselves to those monsters . The young shall outgrow the old ". Philip shook his head and said . 
 Most of the teachers even the vice masters speculated that the champion will be Miran without any suspense at all . 
 At the entrance of the secret realm , the instructor who was in charge was cordinating the children that gathered there . Several fights were breaking out in various places as enemies met and competed . The criteria for entering the secret realm was the martial master level and the number of children gathered there numbered around 3, 000 . Tfe children of their age in the martial world have not started practicing at all . 
 Suddenly someone shouted "It's Miran , she is coming ! ". Everyone became very quite as they watched a beautiful young girl approach them with a sword on her back . She was no longer the shy girl of yesterday , rather she had matured quite alot given her age . Her unique body Constitution gave her a unique temperament that seemed to make her seem aloof and otherworldly.  
 Her gaze was calm as she greeted the instructor and stood on her own . The instructor vwaa quite flattered to be greeted by her because apart from her incredible talent , everyone knew how the Desolate martial god and his majesty doted on her so nobody dared to slight her at all . Looks of admiration , jealousy , envy and other emotions were been thrown her way but she maintained her calm posture because she was already used to those kind of looks .
 "Miran , I will make sure that I defeat you this time ". an arrogant voice sounded as a young boy with handsome features stepped out from the crowd . Miran glanced at the boy and said "Rex , don't fight with your mouth , fight with your fists ". The boy's expression darkened as he snorted and looked away . Rex was ranked third in the ranking and he was just 10 years old with a cultivation of early grandmaster stage . He had the bright sun physique that was ranked in the hundreds . Although it was weaker than the Constitution of Miran , it was still at the top level . 
 Miran looked around intensely as if she was looking for someone . After a while a glimmer of disappointment flashed in her eyes as she stopped her search . "The realm will be opening now , remember do not injure your fellow classmates severly or you will be punished by the academy ". The instructor instructed with a grave expression on his face. Boooom!!! a large vortex appeared and started spinning widely for a while before it revealed the entrance. 
 Everyone started rushing inside with extreme speed . "Sorry , I came late ". a calm voice sounded beside Miran as a young boy appeared beside her . His features were quite ordinary and could not stand out from the crowd at all but anybody who saw him now would recognize him as Shino , one of the twin Supremes of the academy .
