Qu Xinghai waved his hand gently, and an elder from Lingjian Academy began to announce the rules of the competition.
"Dear disciples participating in the test, I would like to announce the rules of this competition: once you enter the arena, you will be responsible for your life and death. Everyone must go all out and don't take any chances!"
"Of course, the prizes are also very generous. The final winner will receive the grand prize jointly provided by the three academies: a set of Tian-level residual exercises, a Silver Sky Flying Boat, and three Thunder Talismans!"
boom!
As the words spread, there was a roar in the Sword Trial Square!
"What? You are responsible for life and death!"
"Oh my God! Are you going to fight to the death?"
"So, the competition between the three houses is not an ordinary competition, but a battle of life and death?"
"Hiss! Once you lose, you will be killed. Thinking about it makes your spine shiver!"
"But, isn't the first place prize too tempting?"
"Hiss! The remaining pieces of heaven-level skills, the Silver Sky Flying Boat, and the Thunder Talisman, these are all priceless treasures!"
Everyone screamed in surprise, and there was a lot of noise in the square.
However, the thirty disciples who participated in the examination behaved very calmly, because when the list was finalized, the college had already greeted them and made them mentally prepared.
They already knew the cruelty of this competition and there was no need to say anything more.
No one was surprised when they heard the elder's announcement. Everyone just tacitly smiled coldly.
In comparison, they care more about the final grand prize. These are all coveted treasures. Any one of them is rare, let alone three!
The disciples of Tianwu Academy all looked ferocious, their eyes were like sharp swords, they wished they could tear the disciples of Spirit Sword Academy to pieces right now!
The disciples of Leiming Academy also had sneers on their faces, but their eyes were deeper than those of the disciples of Tianwu Academy, as if they had everything under control.
"Jiang Tian, these people are very strong, don't be careless!"
On the viewing platform, Su Wan looked solemn and silently sent a message to Jiang Tian.
Although she has great confidence in Jiang Tian, it does not mean that she is not worried at all.
Especially after seeing the prepared attitude of the other party, the worry in her heart increased instead of decreasing, and she already felt deeply uneasy.
Not far away, several of Jiang Tian's friends were also paying close attention to the situation on the court.
Zhu Ziyue, Ling Xiaoyue, Zhuo Lei, Qiao Ya and others all looked solemn and secretly worried.
After hearing the message, Jiang Tian looked in the direction of the viewing platform, nodded and smiled at Su Wan, his expression calm and unhurried.
"Junior Brother Jiang, come on!"
"Junior Brother Jiang, be careful!"
Several friends looked at Jiang Tian and cheered him up.
Jiang Tian nodded, smiled, and looked away.
Boom, boom, boom, three drum sounds sounded, and the competition officially began!
A total of ninety disciples from the three academies participated in the competition. In the first round, lots were randomly drawn and divided into forty-five groups to fight against each other.
"Brother Yun, come on!"
"Senior Brother Luo Lin will win!"
"Senior Brother Tu Qi is invincible!"
The disciples of Spirit Sword Academy shouted loudly to cheer for the senior brother they admired.
There were also people cheering for Jiang Tian, but they were quickly drowned out by other voices.
"Luo Lin, it seems that your opponent is not weak in cultivation, so don't let him down!"
"Tu Qi, your opponent is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. Don't misfire and die when you come up!"
Among the team of Spirit Sword Academy, two tall genius disciples were joking and teasing each other.
These two people are the top geniuses among the core disciples, Luo Lin and Tu Qi.
In the Spirit Sword Academy, their strength is second to none, and it is said that they have never been defeated since entering the academy.
Of course, they have never fought against Yun Zhongtian.
They were actually quite dissatisfied with the academy's number one genius, and wanted to compete with him. Unfortunately, they never had such an opportunity, and they didn't know if they would meet him today.
At the front of the team, Yun Zhongtian stood proudly, exuding a detached temperament, as if he was a level higher than the others.
He did not participate in everyone's discussion, he just stood there quietly, like a flag or a mountain, calm and powerful!
Tu Qi and Luo Lin teased each other a few words, and then turned their attention to their fellow disciples.
"My fellow disciples, Tianwu and Lei Ming are bullying us, please don't let your guard down!"
"Don't worry, Brother Tu, we will definitely use our full strength to kill them all!"
"We have Senior Brother Yun holding the battle, and you and Senior Brother Luo are here, how can we lose to them?"
Tu Qi was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He nodded and smiled, his eyes fell on Jiang Tian at the other end, and he frowned slightly.
"Jiang Tian, why don't you say anything? Are you afraid that you will lose the competition and discredit the college?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Jiang Tian with disdain and contempt in their eyes.
"Jiang Tian, you shouldn't actually participate in this competition. Any other core disciple would be better than you!"
"With your qualifications, if you practice for a few more years, you might really be able to become someone like us. It's a pity that this competition is not limited to life and death. I'm afraid... ugh!"
"Stop talking! Among us, he has the lowest cultivation level and the weakest strength. If he keeps talking, he will completely lose confidence!"
"Everyone! We shouldn't despise Jiang Tian, but we should admire him!"
Some people shook their heads and sighed, looking slightly solemn.
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"With his level of cultivation, participating in this competition is no different than risking death, but he still participated resolutely. Isn't this spirit worthy of everyone's recognition?"
Only then did everyone understand what he meant, and they all nodded and sighed, expressing regret.
Jiang Tian was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't help but glance coldly at these fellow disciples.
"We are facing a formidable enemy. Brothers, you should take care of yourselves and don't take advantage of Jiang. The two major academies, Tianwu and Leiming, have bad intentions. You must not be careless!"
"Jiang Tian, we should say this to you!"
"Jiang Tian, I hope you can try to inflict some trauma on the opponent before you lose, but even if you can't do it, we won't blame you. After all, your cultivation level is here."
"No matter what, it is always an honorable thing to sacrifice one's life for the academy, and you are worthy of it today!"
Some people mocked him coldly and looked disdainful.
"The competition will start soon, everyone shut up!"
Yun Zhongtian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, his arrogant voice shocking his fellow disciples!
After hearing his scolding, everyone looked solemn and stopped talking.
Jiang Tian just smiled indifferently and didn't take it seriously.
At this moment, the elder’s words suddenly rang out!
"The first match is between Yun Zhongtian of Spirit Sword Academy and Zhan Fengyu of Tianwu Academy!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them appeared at the same time.
"Are you Yun Zhongtian?"
Zhan Fengyu exuded a strong murderous aura and stared directly at Yun Zhongtian with his eyes like swords. He showed a strong aura of cultivation as soon as he came on stage.
Yun Zhongtian looked calm, showing no emotion at all, and just nodded lightly.
