In other words, Ye Xiaofan still has one year to catch up with those senior disciples.
Currently, he only needs to face the supreme prodigies among the new disciples. The newcomer protection period merely restricts senior disciples from challenging him; it does not restrict new disciples, so speaking of newcomers might be a stretch at this point.
Yet even so, Ye Xiaofan still feels overwhelming pressure. At this moment, those still standing in the Martial Arts Arena at Divine Sword Peak are virtually all this year's exceptional prodigies.
Among them, although there are a few tenacious prodigies like Ye Xiaotian who persevered, they are after all in the minority. Most of them are rare prodigies seen once in a thousand or even several thousand years, and even the weakest among them probably do not lose to someone like Jian Zhu.
