"Has anything big happened in the academy recently?"
Mrs. Ruan glanced at the third elder indifferently, but there was a gloomy look.
The third elder's face was slightly stiff and he said: "The academy has changed a lot in the past few days. The old man moved back to an ancient cave from somewhere. I heard that there is a complete sect inheritance in it, and several trial mountains are also arranged. but……"
Mrs. Ruan frowned and said, "But what?"
The third elder also looked a little unhappy. He snorted and said, "If you want to enter the Trial Mountains, you must first pass the Righteousness Monument. None of our people dare to try it because we don't know what's going on inside."
Ruan Taishang said calmly: "You don't need to worry about this. These things will belong to us sooner or later. Just wait for me to find out."
The third elder suppressed his emotions and asked, "I wonder when I can break through?"
Ruan Taishang's eyes were changing: "Why are you in a hurry? If you handle this matter well, it will be fine. Remember, you must do it at all costs."
The third elder said with a very cold smile: "Don't worry, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with that little beast even if I'm half-step Kunyuan."
"Now that I am the Supreme Elder, I am no longer in charge of the execution hall. If you have nothing to do, don't come to my place." Ruan Taishang said without any emotion in his tone.
The triennial academy competition is considered the biggest event in the academy.
Because this is not only an opportunity to prove one's strength, but also to determine the ten places to participate in the Hundred Academy War. It is also an opportunity for every student to realize their dream.
The top 50 people on the Shenglong List are not included in the quota. Five of the top ten core disciples are among the top 50 people on the Shenglong List, namely the missing Canghai, Wei Wei, Lian Suyi, and Yiyu.
And He Ling, who was ranked fifth, had already died in the hands of people from Huqiu Academy.
Therefore, the other five core disciples have to participate in this competition, but they are regarded as seed players, and Sean's strength has been recognized by everyone, and he is listed as the sixth seed player.
This competition is also held among those in the Qianyuan Ranking, that is, the top ten spots are determined among one hundred players. Cangqiu is currently ranked 67th on the Qianyuan Ranking, and has also entered this Academy Competition. middle.
In the early morning, when the morning light had just emerged, the entire Yanwu Square was quite lively. Almost all the students of the academy, even the elders, were gathered together, all unwilling to miss this genius-level contest that was enough to shock the academy.
The freshmen are not disappointed, because they all understand that they are the reserve force for the next class.
However, there is something they are proud of, that is, in this competition, a freshman has become a seeded player.
"I can watch the little devil compete again. To be honest, every time I see him fight, it is simply a kind of enjoyment and an opportunity to learn fighting skills."
"Yes, if there is a battle between a Kunyuan Realm powerhouse and a little devil, I would rather watch the little devil."
In the martial arts square, countless voices with a hint of hope also came out.
Sean was used to sitting in the freshmen area with Cangqiu.
This kind of big competition basically puts no pressure on him, and he doesn't plan to compete for a high ranking. He just needs to stay in the top ten, so his mentality is extremely relaxed.
This may be the easiest competition he has faced since he came out of the valley. Even Lian Suyi and Yiyu thought that Sean only needed to complete the procedure and there would be no unexpected fluctuations.
After all, Sean's current strength is not even inferior to them. This kind of academy competition will not pose any challenge to Sean.
"The one sitting next to Huang Taishang is Ruan Tong, the original grand elder of our academy. He is now the supreme elder. The two of them are hosting this academy competition."
Beside Sean, Cangqiu pointed to Humanity on the stage.
Mrs. Huang was the original fifth elder, and Sean naturally recognized him. He turned to the old man in blue robes with a resolute face on the stage and said, "How is Mrs. Ruan like a person?"
Cangqiu smiled and said: "He is an upright man and enforces the law strictly. He used to be in charge of the academy's punishment hall and is deeply respected by the academy."
"quiet!"
Ruan Taishang stood up, glanced at the Yanwu Square with his majestic eyes, and then shouted loudly. His voice was extremely loud, and coupled with the prestige established when he was in charge of the execution hall, the entire Yanwu Square was instantly silenced.
"The rules for this academy competition are still the same. The opponents are determined by drawing lots. The competition will be divided into ten groups, with ten players in each group except for the ten seeded players who will not participate in the competition."
Huang Mu Taishang also stood up and said slowly: "We will choose ten from among a hundred of you, and then we will play against the seeded players in a round-robin battle."
Ruan Taishang's majestic voice also echoed: "Those who need a life-or-death duel can submit it to the academy for decision. Otherwise, everyone's competition is just a matter of clicks. Work hard, students."
As soon as Ruan Tong's words fell, the entire Yanwu Square was boiling. Everyone knew that from this moment on, it also meant that the triennial academy competition had truly begun.
Although the early screening will be tedious due to the absence of the top ten seeded players, every student who can stand out is still the best in the academy.
Therefore, all the students were quietly waiting for the results of the lottery.
The top ten seed players were pushed down according to their rankings on the Qianyuan list. In addition to the five core disciples, Sean was specially inserted and ranked sixth.
The remaining four are men and women including Leli and Sun Jian.
Everyone knows the cruelty of the group stage. There can only be one winner in each group.
And to be able to stand out among the academy of hundreds of thousands of students and become one of the top 100 experts on the Qianyuan Ranking, all of them are top geniuses.
After Dabi drew lots, he fought with his respective opponents according to their own lot numbers.
"Look at Cangqiu, who is only at the seventh level of the Qianyuan realm and defeated Zhao Fei, who is ranked thirty-seventh. How can he be so powerful in combat?"
"Isn't it the same with Wei Cheng? He was only at the eighth level of Qianyuan Realm and defeated Li Hao, who was ranked thirty-first."
"It's not because of the little devil. The two of them are usually closest to the little devil, so they will naturally get the little devil's guidance. I think they will be the biggest dark horses this time."
The huge martial arts square was enough to support nine competitions at the same time, and when the results came out, many students still found highlights.
However, everyone was used to seeing Sean's competition, but they found it a bit uninteresting. The only people who could make everyone's eyes shine were Cangqiu and Wei Cheng who won the leapfrog battle.
Standing in front of Cangqiu, a tall young man said proudly: "Cangqiu, I don't want to hurt you, and I won't let you do it because of your identity. Just give up."
Cangqiu smiled and said, "Come on, I won't be afraid of you just because you are number 20 on the Qianyuan Ranking."
"Then come on!"
The tall young man pulled out his long sword fiercely and slashed at Cangqiu. His sword speed was pretty good. In just a moment, his long sword came within three feet of Cangqiu.
The sword in Cangqiu's hand just happened to hit him, and the two long swords collided together.
clang!
A burst of clashing sounds of gold and iron resounded, as both sides continued to shoot out fierce sword energy, and the entire sky was rippled with clanging sounds.
"Cangqiu, I admit that your talent is very strong, but your cultivation is too weak."
The tall young man glanced at Cangqiu, and the sharp sword in his hand made waves. The combination of majesty and sharpness was frightening.
After all, those who can rank among the top 20 on the Qianyuan Ranking must have extraordinary strength.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
But when the waves of swords came over, Cangqiu smiled slightly, and then he drew his sword calmly.
laugh!
His sword light was simple and deep, passing through the layers of sword waves with an inherent force, but it rushed through at a faster speed than before.
"ah!"
In the tall young man's exclamation, Cangqiu's sword was already pointed at his eyebrows, and the tip of the sword was less than half a foot away from his eyebrows. If Cangqiu had the intention to kill him, he would probably be dead.
"Concession!"
Cangqiu smiled and sheathed her sword.
"The strongest player in this group lost to Cangqiu. I'm afraid he will definitely get the qualifying spot in this group."
"Yeah, but if you want to enter the real top ten, I'm afraid it's still a little short of that."
After Cangqiu's game ended, everyone's attention turned to Wei Cheng's group.
"Wei Cheng, it's rare that you haven't lost a single game until now. Come and let me see how much the little devil has taught you?"
Different from the normal competition, Wei Cheng's place was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The eyes of the young man standing in front of him flashed with viciousness, looking at Wei Cheng with a ferocious smile.
Wei Cheng said calmly: "You are wrong, Zhu Yicheng. The little devil has not specifically guided me. It's just that everyone has different understandings."
"Really? If you meet me, your journey will end here, but I will let you enjoy it."
Zhu Yicheng smiled ferociously. He couldn't wait to take action. After all, they had national hatred in Dianyuan Tian.
Wei Cheng said calmly: "Actually, you don't need to be like this. When we come here, we are all students and should be people who strive for our ideals. I have forgotten it. If you still keep it in mind, there is nothing you can do about it. .”
"No matter what you say, my strength is the truth, go to hell!"
Anger flashed in Zhu Yicheng's eyes. He rushed out like a cheetah and was in front of Wei Cheng in an instant. A ray of light suddenly appeared in his hand, and he pushed forward with a palm.
Buzz!
There was a flash of light, and in the dazzling light, a majestic fist stretched out, carrying astonishing fluctuations, and hit Wei Cheng mercilessly.
"Well done!"
Wei Cheng didn't dodge at all. The power of his fist was like a rough sea, and he blasted straight through, passing through the dazzling light and colliding with Zhu Yicheng's palm.
Wow!
The next moment, the sound of gurgling water sounded, and people saw that the turbulent water waves drowned the brilliance like a golden mountain, and Zhu Yicheng's fist dimmed instantly.
puff
Zhu Yicheng only felt a strong force attacking his whole body. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his face became a little pale.
At the elders' table, the seventh elder said with great emotion: "I didn't expect that the academy would undergo such earth-shaking changes just after I left for a year. You see, the combat skills of these students are much better than when I was here. You know how many times it has improved."
From his perspective, it was not difficult to see that in terms of real strength, Wei Cheng was still much weaker than Zhu Yicheng, and the reason why Wei Cheng was able to repel Zhu Yicheng was precisely because of his ingenuity in strength.
But this was enough to make him marvel, because whether it was combat skills or this kind of leapfrog combat, it was difficult for the academy to possess in the past.
