Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Husband, you must win the top three in this martial arts competition, so that you can be directly recruited to practice at Jinyang Academy, one of the nine universities in the Haoyang Empire. If only The top thirty will only have one chance to be interviewed."
"Do not worry!"
Ling Feng nodded and smiled, but suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder this martial arts competition was so lively.
He has a map of the Divine Continent in his hand and is very familiar with the layout of the Haoyang Empire. The five regions of the Divine Continent are actually rough directions and are not formal official administrative units. The real administrative units of the Haoyang Empire are actually divided into nine territories according to the nine-palace pattern, namely the Haoyang Territory in the center, the Jinyang Territory in the west, the Qingyang Territory in the east, the Xuanyang Territory in the north, and the Liyang Territory in the south. There are Qianyang territory in the northwest, Kunyang territory in the southwest, Yuanyang territory in the northeast, and Leiyang territory in the southeast. There is the Haoyang Imperial Capital in the center of the nine territories, and each of the other eight territories has an imperial city. The imperial capital and every imperial city has an imperial-level academy, which is very obvious on the map of Shenzhou. The Xiliang Royal City is within the territory of Jinyang.
Immediately, after Mingyu's narration, Ling Feng had a deeper understanding of the Nine Universities. These nine universities all have powerful Martial Emperors in charge, and their power exceeds that of the thirty-six holy land sects, and is almost comparable to the eight supreme sects. Most of the Martial Saint-level talents in the Haoyang Empire came from the Nine Universities. For example, the city lords of each main city were basically from the Nine Universities. Therefore, anyone who is admitted to these nine universities is equivalent to having a chance to break through to the Martial Saint realm.
Moreover, all warriors with ordinary backgrounds who want to achieve something and break through to the realm of martial saints must either join the eight supreme sects and the thirty-six holy land sects, or enter the nine universities. There is no other way out. For casual cultivators and high-level disciples of the Haoyang Emperor, the only way is to be admitted to the Nine Universities. That's why Bai Liefeng and others took his son to participate in this martial arts competition.
There are three ways to recruit disciples in the nine universities. One is to directly apply for the entrance examination, the other is to recruit outstanding students from the king-level universities in the seventy-two royal cities, and the third is to recruit several students through the martial arts competition every three years. The first type of assessment is the most stringent, the second way is slightly less difficult, and the third way is the most difficult because only three people can be recruited within the territory under the jurisdiction of a royal city, but it is the most suitable opportunity for Ling Feng.
Immediately, Ling Feng and Mingyu returned to the inn. They stayed together for a long time, and they parted ways late at night.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Ling Feng quietly returned to his residence, only to find a beautiful figure in white clothes inside the house, which turned out to be Magnolia.
Bai Magnolia said: "Have you met?"
Ling Feng nodded and said immediately: "Thank you, I will try my best to buy you whatever you want to show my gratitude!"
Bai Magnolia said: "There is no need to buy things. If you have a chance, please help me take care of my elder brother."
Ling Feng knew what she meant. If the two of them could enroll in Jinyang Academy together, they could take care of each other. Therefore, he nodded, sent her away immediately, and then closed his eyes and meditated.
…
On the second day, in the morning, the knockout rounds continued. Due to the significant reduction in the number of people, they were all concentrated in one area for the competition.
The first step is to draw the number plate, and then find the arena where you will compete and wait to play.
Not long after, Ling Feng finally took the stage. This time his opponent was a handsome young man in golden clothes.
This person's cultivation level is not weak, his soul and magic power are at the peak of Wu Zun, and his physical strength is also close to the peak of Wu Zun, which is almost the same as Qinglong's cultivation level. He cupped his fists at Ling Feng and said, "Brother Ling, this is Yue Zifeng, the son of Marquis Xihua!"
Ling Feng smiled and said: "Brother Yue, please!"
At this time, Yue Zifeng's soul sent a message: "Brother Ling, if you let Yue win this game, Yue will definitely be rewarded generously!"
However, before he could finish speaking, Ling Feng had already activated the Emperor's Dragon Fist, punched out, a dragon roar sounded, and a golden dragon-shaped fist struck Yue Zifeng!
Yue Zifeng hurriedly gathered his strength and drew his sword, urging the sixth-level divine weapon in his hand to strike quickly, and slashed out a streak of yellow Wutu Sword Qi.
The top-grade divine weapon is extremely powerful, and its attacks against peak martial masters are greatly increased. Therefore, the power of this sword is already at the peak martial master level of a mid-grade soul.
The dragon-shaped fist shattered the Wutu Sword Qi, greatly reducing its power. Immediately, Yue Zifeng's sixth-level top-grade armor emerged with yellow light, blocking the remaining fist power.
Yue Zifeng said with a cold expression: "Ling Feng, I want you to look good!"
However, in the next moment, Ling Feng suddenly drew his sword, and the power of the law of chaos and the power of the chaos elixir merged with the sword intention of chaos, and suddenly slashed out, turning into a long river of chaos, sweeping out.
Yue Zifeng once again took out a shield-shaped defensive magic weapon of the sixth level, and used his magic power to withstand this extremely powerful chaotic sword intent.
Magnolia snorted: "How shameless!"
Next to them, some contestants with inferior backgrounds were also filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. The minimum price for this three-piece set is tens of millions of amethyst coins, which is not something that ordinary people can collect. This is the terrifying thing about RMB warriors. Even if they have poor cultivation and poor martial arts skills, they can still crush civilian players by relying on their "equipment" advantage.
However, what Yue Zifeng encountered this time was not an ordinary civilian player. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Ling Feng's figure had already flashed over and kicked the sixth-level magic shield.
With a bang, Yue Zifeng fell into the ring with his shield and his body, causing a lot of laughter.
Yue Zifeng struggled to get up, stared at Ling Feng with a malicious expression, and said coldly: "Boy, just wait, I won't let you go!"
Immediately, the referee announced the result and Ling Feng fell off the ring.
At this time, Bai Yulan said: "Be careful, Yue Zifeng will retaliate for his anger, he won't just let it go."
Ling Feng nodded and said, "I will pay attention, thank you."
He also knows that some people are no match for him head-on, but it is not difficult for him to do harm to you, and he has an extraordinary background. If he kills you, you will be unlucky. But if you kill him, his father will definitely show up. If his father can't kill you, he will find a way to pay someone to kill you. In short, it’s disgusting! Of course, if you really offend him, you can only find a way to kill him and then blame the devil.
In less than half an hour, Ling Feng's second game began.
This time the opponent was a young man in red clothes with a sword on his waist. The young man in red clasped his fists and said, "Red Fire Dao Lie Kong, please teach me!"
Ling Feng also cupped his fists and said, "Xifeng Dao Ling Feng, please teach me!"
Immediately, the young man in red suddenly swung his sword, and a blazing sword intent containing the power of fire laws struck Ling Feng.
Ling Feng did not resist and allowed the blazing sword intention to invade the sea of consciousness. At this time, the Chaos Pearl suddenly turned into the devil's mouth and swallowed the blazing sword intention. The Chaos Demon God in the Chaos Orb is still in the process of being gestated and needs to absorb a lot of nutrients, regardless of attributes.
