The Thunder Dragon Flying Boat is as fast as lightning, zipping through the clouds, and can fly several miles with every breath.
However, everyone still underestimated the distance between Star Forest and Tianshui College.
It took a full fifteen hours for the Thunder Dragon Flying Boat to successfully lead everyone to resist the destination.
"Is that the Star Forest? It's so beautiful." Many students looked down from the flying boat, with shock in their eyes.
Under everyone's feet is a vast forest.
It is green and lush, and many of the vegetation emit a faint green light. From a distance, it looks like a glowing emerald.
Moreover, in the forest, there are lakes with extremely clear water, dotted like pearls, adding a lot of color to it.
"Look, it's the Tianxing Hall of Tianxing College." Suddenly, some students started to scream.
In the sky not far away, a palace the size of a mountain peak appeared. Purple glow was flowing all over it, and it slowly landed in the forest of stars.
The people from Tianxing Academy have arrived.
hold head high.
A sound of birdsong that penetrated the cracked gold and stone suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.
A crimson divine bird nearly a hundred feet long passed over the Thunder Dragon Flying Boat, carrying the contestants from Tianhuo Academy, and fell into the Star Forest.
Subsequently, more and more contestants rushed to this place.
They were either riding on a keel airship or were brought over by some kind of giant aircraft.
"Oh my God! There are many more participating forces than we imagined. In addition to the five major colleges, there are actually dozens of them." Many students were shocked by the scene in front of them.
In the vast forest land of the Star Forest, there are actually dozens of keel airships parked at this time, as well as other aircraft.
Groups of contestants came off the flying boat like a tide, numbering at least four to five hundred people.
You know, even Tianshui Academy only has twenty places to participate.
I am afraid that more than half of these four to five hundred people come from forces outside the five major colleges.
"Although our Tianshui College has the smallest number of participating places, it is not much worse than other colleges. It is conservatively estimated that the total number of contestants from the five major colleges will never exceed 200. Therefore, the other contestants must come from
Forces outside the academy." Some students couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seemed that this time the five-county competition was more intense and cruel than they imagined.
In the five major colleges alone, there are already more than thirty genius-level masters.
If other forces were included, there would probably be nearly fifty or sixty people.
It is really difficult to stand out among so many geniuses and reach the top ten.
About half an hour later, all the contestants were basically here.
Xiao Yi took a closer look and found that there were as many as eighteen participating forces this time.
Except for the five major colleges, the others are all famous families in the five major counties.
For example, the Feng family in Tianxing County, the Situ family in Tianhuo County, the Liu family in Tianlin County, etc.
The background of these families is not only no weaker than that of the Wang family, but some are even much stronger than the Wang family. They can definitely be regarded as behemoths.
Only such a family can have the confidence to cultivate geniuses on their own instead of letting them join the five major academies.
"Look, that person is the hidden genius of the Feng family, named Feng Yitian. Rumor has it that he defeated Situ Yan, the first genius of Tianhuo Academy." Someone couldn't help but look at a young man in green robes.
Full of deep fear.
This young man is extremely tall and handsome in appearance, giving people an extremely elegant and agile look.
Many people doubted that he had combat power that was not weaker than Xia Houhuang's.
Xiao Yi's eyes also fell on this young man at this time. He felt that his aura was unfathomable and he was indeed a strong opponent.
In addition, he also discovered many powerful geniuses, some of whom he felt were no weaker than Wang Xun.
"Huh? That person over there is very special, I'm afraid he is even stronger than Xia Houhuang." Suddenly, Xiao Yi felt something in his heart, and his eyes were attracted by a young man shrouded in a black shirt.
The camp this young man belongs to is actually the Luo family, one of the four major families in Tianxing County.
This person is probably a genius that has been hidden in the Luo family for a long time. He has only now appeared in the five-county competition and plans to make a big splash.
"Interesting, it seems that this competition will not disappoint me." Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile, and he felt the blood in his body boiling.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
At this moment, three dazzling divine lights suddenly descended from high in the sky, and three strong men walked out of them.
These three people all wore golden robes engraved with sword patterns, and their cultivation was extremely unfathomable.
Xiao Yi estimated that they must all be no weaker than the dean in white.
"I have seen three envoys." The deans of the five major colleges and the heads of the major families all came to greet the three people and said to them respectfully.
From this we can see how extraordinary the status of these three people is.
"There is no need to be so polite. Now that everyone is here, let the competition officially begin. Before that, I want to talk about the rules of the competition." Among the three people, a white-haired old man said in a loud and authentic voice.
.
He gives people a very peaceful feeling, without the oppressive feeling of a strong man, which makes everyone feel relaxed.
This is one of the elders of the Third Academy of the Dynasty, named Cheng Yufeng, and he is presiding over this competition among the five counties.
"This competition is divided into three links. The first link is to grab the arena. Deep in the Star Forest, there are seventy-two arenas. If anyone can board a certain arena in the first time,
, he can become the master of this arena and get ten competition points." Cheng Yufeng's voice sounded very calm, and he explained carefully to everyone.
"I see, this should be a test of the speed of the contestants."
"No, in addition to speed, you also need strength and luck. If you choose a more difficult path, you may fall behind at any time." Many students secretly discussed.
The Star Forest seems to be a beautiful environment, but it hides many dangers, such as powerful dragon beasts and some strange ancient plants.
Some ancient plants contain extremely poisonous substances that can even kill a half-step Wuhou realm expert.
Therefore, if someone is unlucky and encounters these dangers, a lot of time will definitely be wasted.
"The second link is to defend the arena. The owners of the seventy-two arenas must face challenges from other players. Only those who successfully defeat all challengers can enter the third link, otherwise they will be eliminated."
Cheng Yufeng continued to speak.
"good."
"This link tests the true strength of the players. Even if some players are lucky enough to win the first link, if they are not strong enough, they will also be eliminated." Many students nodded and said, obviously.
I am extremely satisfied with the rules of the second stage.
"As for the third link, I won't talk about it for now. Once the results of the first two links are obtained, I will naturally announce it to everyone. Well, the competition has officially begun. You can choose to enter the Star Forest from different entrances.
, these maps will guide you to the arena." As soon as Cheng Yufeng finished speaking, a stream of divine light flew out of his hand and fell into the hands of every contestant.
Those are animal skin maps.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The next moment, five to six hundred contestants were divided into many teams and poured into the Star Forest like a tide.
