The exercise between the two houses is little known.
But it is definitely a big deal for Zhongzhou.
With the current structure of Zhongzhou, it cannot be said that all geniuses have entered the two houses, but most of the geniuses have the experience of studying in the two houses.
It is a three-year course. As time goes by, each batch of graduates from the two colleges will slowly grow up and eventually become the backbone of their respective regions and even the Central Continent's special warfare system.
Li Kuangtu, Gu Xingyun, and Wang Tianzong were in the first session.
Gu Qianchuan, Dongcheng Wudi, Hua Qingfeng in the second session.
Situ Cangyue of the third term.
To this day, living and dead, among the graduates of each class of the two academies, a very small number will reach the top of the pyramid of Central Continent, while more people will be integrated into the special warfare system and become the cornerstone force of Central Continent.
It is no exaggeration to say that any exercise between the two houses may determine the pattern of Central Continent’s internal warfare system in the next ten or several decades.
This is especially true this time.
Li Tianlan, who has invincible fighting power.
Wang Shengxiao at the peak of the Thunder Realm.
Guhan Mountain is only half a step away from Wang Shengxiao.
The low-key and tolerant Jiang Shangyu.
Two people with twin veins of wind and thunder, one with the heart of a heavenly king.
This can be said to be the most exciting final exercise in the past twenty years. It can even be said that whoever gets the first place in this exercise is most likely to become the first person in Central Continent decades later.
This is also an exercise that focuses on the focus of all conflicts in Central Continent.
Li is supported by wealthy groups.
Wang Shengxiao, who is strongly supported by the Southeast Group.
Guhanshan supported by the special warfare group.
The academic group and the Prince Group are caught between them, and their attitudes are subtle.
The Northern Group remains neutral.
There are too many possibilities for the outcome of this exercise, but everyone believes that no matter what the outcome is, the entire Central Continent will not be peaceful after today.
So Huating started martial law a few days before the exercise.
The black Mercedes-Benz was driving on the road in Huating. The closer it got to Sky Academy, the busier the road became. There were no civilians in the two-kilometer radius of Sky Academy. Soldiers, policemen and plainclothes wearing camouflage uniforms could be seen almost everywhere.
Through the window, Li Tianlan could almost clearly smell the dignified and solemn atmosphere.
Dongcheng Wudi was sitting on the other side of the back seat of the vehicle, silently looking at the scene outside the window with a calm expression.
Dongcheng was sitting in front of Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Wudi, his head turning around and his eyes blinking, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Previous years' exercises were not like this."
Dongcheng Wudi suddenly spoke and said softly: "The current scale of martial law is basically equivalent to the first level of alert. Even if there are exercises in previous years, they will only appear in the final stage. This year's exercises should have been exciting, but because of some people's evil intentions
If you don't die, the drill will change its flavor."
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head and continued: "It starts at the beginning but ends at the end."
Li Tianlan listened calmly to Dongcheng Wudi's evaluation.
He knew very well what the other party meant, and the sentence was very vivid.
Because Kunlun City directly modified the order of the exercise.
The first day of the exercise is a team exercise.
What is a team exercise?
It was an exercise in which the teams from the two houses showed their full strength to the senior officials of the two houses and Zhongzhou after three years of training and cooperation.
It is a preview for a certain team to establish a foothold in Central Continent in the future.
All previous final exercises and team exercises can be said to be the most essential and climax part of the entire exercise.
But this time Kunlun City put this part that was supposed to be the finale at the front.
What the purpose is is self-evident.
This is more than just getting several teams to unite against Li Tianlan.
He also didn't want Li Tianlan to know his opponent in advance through other training subjects.
"Gu Xingyun has good intentions."
Dongcheng Wudi's eyes were a little cold, and there was a hint of undisguised contempt and ridicule in his tone.
Li Tianlan looked at Dongcheng Wudi's face quietly.
He could feel the other person's depression and anger, as well as the violence and murderous intent behind all appearances.
Li Tianlan's eyes were a little dazed.
He suddenly thought of the mountain in Luojing, Central Plains.
I thought of the ancestral halls and villas on the mountain, as well as the wind and jungles on the mountain.
I thought of Dongcheng Hanguang, Dongcheng Invincible, Bai Qingqian, Dongcheng Qiuchi, Dongcheng Such, Thunder God.
too many people.
Too much kindness.
It seemed that the Dongcheng family really laid everything out in front of him, with no malice, no conspiracy, no calculation, and not even asking for anything in return.
Li Tianlan knew what he might face in today's drill.
Everyone knows it.
Dongcheng Wudi even knows it better than himself.
So he appeared in the Eastern Emperor's Palace, put on the marshal's uniform that symbolized power and majesty in Central Continent, and wore all the medals awarded to him by Central Continent over the years.
Li Tianlan knew that the other party's attitude meant that the Dongcheng family would stand in front of him at all costs to face the Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City.
At the critical moment of his life and death.
The Dongcheng family's clear attitude means that they have no room to retreat.
"Why?"
Li Tianlan suddenly asked.
He didn't call him "Commander", and his expression seemed to have lost the respect and politeness of the past, but was just a little complicated.
He had doubted the Dongcheng family's intentions and was wary of them.
But now the entire Dongcheng family has put everything on him, even holding their own hearts in their hands and handing them to him.
This kind of kindness and dedication is so strong.
Suspicious? Alert? Vigilant?
Li Tianlan suddenly didn't know what to suspect.
Dongcheng Wudi's fingers trembled, and he turned his head and looked quietly into Li Tianlan's eyes.
There is a very persistent light in Li Tianlan's eyes.
Why?
This question is simple, but too broad.
Dongcheng Wudi didn't know what to say.
He turned his head again and chuckled a little far-fetched: "How can there be so many reasons? The marriage contract between you and Ru Shi is here. From now on you get married. As your son-in-law, I am your father and my own family. Do you still need to ask why?
?”
Dongcheng Ru's eyes were clear, and he stretched out his hand to pull Li Tianlan's palm. Her face was a little rosy, but there was a hint of joy in her eyes.
"Just because of the engagement?"
Li Tianlan held Dongcheng Ruzhi's little hand, but looked at Dongcheng Wudi without relaxing his eyes.
"And because of your potential."
Dongcheng Wudi subconsciously adjusted his sitting posture, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.
His expression changed, meaning it was difficult to understand.
"Your performance is worthy of the family's investment. Tianlan, the marriage contract between you and Ru Shi was decided together by Mr. Li and Mr. Li when you were just born. The family has never thought of ruining this agreement, so for the family,
You are not an outsider, never have been. And your outstanding performance is worthy of our investment in you."
He held the cigarette tightly, and his fingers seemed to be shaking because of too much force: "If you didn't have the potential and the future you can look forward to now, you might have another ending."
"If so, I will still marry you. The family will give you a sum of wealth that you will never be able to squander in your lifetime, so that you can enjoy life with peace of mind, instead of like now..."
Dongcheng Wudi's eyes were a little dazed.
His face was filled with regret and some relief, which was extremely complicated: "If this is the outcome, the Dongcheng family will slowly transform, gradually give up everything they have, and develop their power from the military to the political world. Do you understand?
"
Li Tianlan understood.
But I didn’t understand.
All he knows is the future path of the Dongcheng family.
Dongcheng Wudi has two daughters.
The eldest daughter Dongcheng Qiuchi is now one of the directors of Huating, or it can be said that the Dongcheng family has transformed.
If she had not appeared, or if her potential was not as good as expected, the Dongcheng family would fully support Dongcheng Qiuchi and make her a key figure in the transformation of the Dongcheng family.
In other words, Dongcheng Qiuchi represents a path that the Dongcheng family can choose in the future.
On the other hand, the Dongcheng family did not place their hopes on Dongcheng Rusu.
Instead, he placed his trust in Li Tianlan.
"Even if I don't show up, this will still be the case."
Li Tianlan said softly: "With such potential, isn't it worth investing in?"
"I can't do it."
Dongcheng shook his head honestly: "I can't defeat Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan. I can't defeat Jiang Shangyu either."
She grabbed Li Tianlan's hand, feeling a little sad, thinking that if she had been stronger, wouldn't she have to abstain from the final exercise this time?
Dongcheng Wudi hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Li Tianlan no longer asked any more questions, but held on tightly to his initial doubts.
His question "why" was about the Dongcheng family's kindness to him without expecting anything in return.
Dongcheng Wudi said a lot.
But Li Tianlan doesn't think that's the whole reason.
Engagement. Potential. At best, it can only be part of the reason.
Dongcheng Wudi smiled bitterly.
This time he was silent for a long time.
The Sky Academy ahead is already in sight.
"The Dongcheng family owes you Tianlan."
Dongcheng Wudi said slowly: "You deserve everything today."
"You owe it to me? Or do you owe it to Mr. Li?"
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes.
Dongcheng Wudi remained silent.
"Is that all?"
Li Tianlan continued to ask.
Dongcheng Wudi slowly turned his head and stared deeply at Li Tianlan.
His eyes were a little intense.
It was an intense feeling where all the emotions were about to rush out of my heart.
But in the end, his fierceness turned into retreat and even cowardice.
"Yes."
He said: "That's all."
Li Tianlan said oh and stopped talking.
The Mercedes-Benz drove directly into the campus along the temporarily opened road of Sky Academy.
"Don't think too much!"
Dongcheng Wudi looked at the crowds coming and going outside the window and said in a deep voice: "Concentrate on the drill. Tianlan, I promise you, I am here today and no one can touch you. Just let it go."
The Mercedes-Benz parked slowly in the parking lot temporarily arranged by Sky Academy.
At the same time as the car stopped, another extended black Rolls-Royce also drove over from the other direction and parked next to the Mercedes-Benz.
Both parties got out of the car and were startled at the same time.
Both cars were occupied by two men and one woman.
Dongcheng is invincible, Li Tianlan, Dongcheng is like this.
But what got off the Rolls-Royce was Li Tianlan’s biggest opponent today.
Wang Shengxiao, who looked a little pale, held Song Ci's hand and stood behind Wang Tianzong.
Dongcheng Wudi and Wang Tianzong smiled, greeted each other and shook hands.
Wang Shengxiao looked at Li Tianlan, smiled and nodded, very friendly.
Li Tianlan did not look at Wang Shengxiao.
He just looked at Wang Tianzong and said calmly: "Where is Yuetong?"
The Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou, who was talking to Dongcheng Wudi, turned his head and glanced at him.
Just a casual glance.
"You'll see her."
Wang Tianzong said calmly: "After today."
He spoke very slowly, so the last four words were particularly meaningful.
Dongcheng Wudi's eyes tightened.
Li Tianlan's expression did not change at all.
He believed in the guarantee Dongcheng Wudi just said.
But he also believed in Wang Tianzong's strength.
Nowadays, the Sword King of Zhongzhou wants to kill people, and there is no one in Zhongzhou, or even in the entire dark world, who can stop him.
The Sword Emperor's sword edge is enough to tear through any solid guarantee.
Li Tianlan is neither sad nor happy nor afraid.
For the worst outcome, he had already been mentally prepared before Dongcheng Wudi appeared in front of him.
He may die today.
But when he fell, the heir to the Wang family in Beihai, Wang Tianzong's most valued son, was bound to go with him.
Li is paranoid.
Li Tianlan, who is also paranoid, never lacks the courage to die in desperate situations.
