Zhou Shan, the vice-president of Tianyuan College, led his disciples to visit him early in the morning, shortly after Tiannan College hosted a banquet for him.
Just before noon, in the square in front of Tiannan College, the bell suddenly rang to summon the disciples.
Junior and intermediate disciples from all over Qianshan soon gathered in Qianshan Square.
As soon as they arrived at the square, everyone noticed that the situation was abnormal.
In the center of the front mountain square, a square arena appeared, with a length and width of dozens of feet, and the arena was covered by a moon-white light shield.
In addition, in the square, everyone also saw Vice President Gu, the masters of the criminal law and enlightenment halls, and dozens of teachers gathered outside the square.
A group of people also gathered around them. They were the senior officials of Tianyuan College who led the team today, and the disciples of Tianyuan College who lined up neatly beside them.
Seeing this battle, the disciples of Tiannan Academy had already guessed something.
When everyone gathered on one side of the square, the Master of Tongwu Hall, Lu Hall, announced today’s competition with Tianyuan College. The disciples of Tiannan College were still a little surprised.
Although Tianyuan College has long been expected to come to pay homage to the mountain, there will definitely be a battle between the two sides.
But I didn't expect it would come so quickly. I just arrived in the morning and the competition would start in the afternoon.
However, although this competition came out of the blue, one still thinks of the humiliation Tianyuan College had suffered against Tiannan College in the past years.
And when the other party arrived today, a group of Tianyuan Academy disciples responded with unbridled ridicule and arrogant postures.
The disciples of Tiannan Academy were deeply stimulated, and they were all excited and excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Everyone lined up in the square, everyone straightened their backs, and their eyes showed high fighting spirit.
Seeing the mental outlook of the disciples in Qianshan, Gu Xuanji and other senior officials of Tiannan College could not help but nod secretly.
Tiannan College has gone through ups and downs over the past thousand years, and the college has experienced ups and downs. Although not every generation of disciples is strong and outstanding.
But every generation of disciples has become fearless and unafraid of challenges from other colleges.
Even though Tianyuan College has defeated Tiannan College in the mountain worship competition for three consecutive years, it still has not dampened everyone's fighting spirit.
Before the start of this competition, both sides launched their own mobilization.
Gu Xuanji personally walked in front of these young Tiannan Academy disciples and said calmly.
"There are ten places for this battle, all chosen from intermediate disciples. There can only be three fake star realm experts among them."
In the reception hall, Gu Xuanji had already made an agreement with Zhou Shan.
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, both sides can only send out their own intermediate disciples, and at most three fake star realm experts.
And this time's battle is different from previous years. According to Zhou Shan, this group match can be called a "free elimination match."
That is, both sides can randomly select ten people to fight within the limits of the rules. In each battle, each disciple will be sent to the field. The winner can continue to fight or choose to rest.
The loser will be eliminated directly. Whichever side's ten players are eliminated first will lose the game.
This time both sides took out the treasures of their respective academies as bets, and this mode of competition allowed each to fight to the last soldier. Gu Xuanji naturally agreed.
After Gu Xuanji briefly explained the rules of the competition to everyone, he spoke directly.
"Those who are willing to fight, come forward!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the disciples of Tiannan College.
The next moment, almost all the intermediate disciples stepped out of the team and shouted.
"We are willing to fight for the academy!"
"I'm waiting for a fight!"
Everyone shouted and the crowd was excited.
Seeing this situation, Gu Xuanji's eyes brightened slightly and he nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, you are worthy of being a student of my Tiannan College. You are willing to fight for the college, and the college will not treat you badly.
All those who participate in the battle will be rewarded with 200 merit points regardless of winning or losing. If they win a battle, they will be rewarded with 500 merit points and a Spirit River Initiation! "
As the saying goes, "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men," not to mention this group of fearless and fearless intermediate disciples who are eager to fight for the college.
As soon as Gu Xuanji finished speaking, everyone's eyes glowed with blazing light, and their blood boiled!
However, only ten people can be selected to fight in this battle.
In the end, Gu Xuanji and the senior leaders of the academy selected ten people among these people to prepare for the competition.
These people are all outstanding among the intermediate disciples of the academy, including three powerful people in the false star realm, one of whom was once ranked 103rd on the elite list.
But this person was very unlucky. During this elite challenge, he was challenged by a powerful rising star and ultimately lost.
Because he had been recuperating from an injury during this period, he had no chance to re-enter the elite list, so he missed the Inner Sea Trial. However, this time, he happened to be the final player to participate in this arena match.
Compared to Tiannan College’s high-spirited attitude, Tianyuan College was much calmer.
Because some words had already been explained by Zhou Shan and others before they came to Tiannan College, and the ten people to fight had also been selected.
Looking at the ten disciples walking out of the team, the smile on Zhou Shan's face also faded at this moment, and he looked at them calmly and resolutely.
"The future of Tianyuan College rests on your shoulders. In this battle, we must win without losing!"
"yes!"
Ten people responded at the same time, without too many words or slogans, and everyone looked solemn and solemn!
Under this terrible silence, a faint evil aura spread out from the ten people, and a pair of young eyes revealed a look as resolute and fierce as a "wolf"!
In the distance, Gu Xuanji and other senior officials of Tiannan Academy felt the aura emanating from the other camp, and their eyes changed slightly.
They all had a premonition that this seemingly ordinary competition between intermediate disciples would be an unusual "hard battle"!
After both sides have selected their disciples, the battle is finally about to begin.
Gu Xuanji raised his hand and waved, and the light mask on the huge arena in the center of the square instantly disappeared.
Immediately, as agreed, each side sent a referee to the court.
The referee of Tiannan College is Hall Master Lu of Tongwu Hall, and the one sent by Tianyuan College is a man named Yao, one of the two mountain masters.
Two big figures at the level of palace masters came on the stage in person to referee the competition between intermediate disciples. This was unprecedented in both houses.
After the referees from both sides take the stage, it is the stage for the contestants of each faction.
Whichever side sends players to fight first, the other side can select players to fight in a targeted manner, so the player who fights later has a slight advantage.
In this regard, Zhou Shan showed rare generosity and took the initiative to speak.
"Fellow Ancient Daoist, since we are the ones taking the initiative to worship the mountain, I, Tianyuan Academy, should send someone first."
After saying that, Zhou Shan looked at a handsome young man in the Tianyuan Academy team with a long sword on his back.
He said casually: "Jiang Zhou, let you play in the first round."
Hearing this, the young man carrying the sword immediately stepped forward and saluted Zhou Shan respectfully.
"Disciple, obey!"
After saying that, the young man flashed and rushed directly onto the ring!
Tianyuan College sent out the combatant first. Gu Xuanji and others looked at this person slightly, and they could tell at a glance that the other person was a Chen-level nine-star cultivation level.
If Tiannan College sends a fake star realm expert at this moment, they can easily defeat the opponent. However, the opponent takes the initiative to send a fighter first. If they do this, it will seem a bit "cheap".
Therefore, Gu Xuanji also looked at the ten selected disciples in front of him, discussed briefly with the senior management of the college, and selected one of them.
This is a young man in white clothes with a sword hanging on his waist. His cultivation has reached the nine-star Chen level. He exudes a sharp aura unique to sword cultivators. He is also the direct disciple of a sword cultivator in the academy.
Gu Xuanji looked at the young man and immediately ordered.
"Yang Hong, then it's up to you to fight this battle!"
"Disciple accepts the order!"
Yang Hong bowed, then turned around and jumped onto the ring!
