Along the way, the magnificence of the imperial capital’s schools is comparable to any third-level town in Daxia!
There are nearly a thousand buildings of all kinds, including two racecourses, a zoo, and more than 20 large-scale martial arts performance areas of different categories.
At this time, the surrounding area of the huge campus was deserted, with only the center of the campus bustling with people.
Here, there is this Qianlong Platform!
On the stage, stood today's protagonists - the young geniuses from Dantang and Zhantang who made it to the finals.
The Hidden Dragon Platform aims to metaphorically turn those boys and girls who are qualified to compete on the stage into lurking dragons!
Those who can stand on this stage and stand to the end will surely grow into a giant that shines in the world, become a dragon or a phoenix, and be prominent for the rest of their lives!
The Qianlong Platform is 138 meters long and 138 meters wide. There are eighteen smaller arenas around it, guarding it in the center in the form of stars surrounding the moon. These eighteen small arenas are called "Stars".
"Hui Lei".
The Xinghui Arena spread out another ten feet, forming a circle of eight-story spectator seats, which could accommodate up to 100,000 people watching the match at the same time!
At this time, almost all the spectator seats were filled with people. In addition to the students and teachers from the Imperial Capital Academy and the Sifangyuan, there were even more wealthy families and high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Imperial Capital.
The triennial Hundred Schools League is also crucial to these powerful players.
Their thoughts were the same as Chen Xiong's. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to dig out the elixir and promised high positions and generous salaries to the poor disciples of Zhanliangtang. When they finished their studies after eight years, they came out of the mountains and settled in these wealthy families to work for them.
It enhances the strength foundation.
Directly north of Qianlong Tai, there is a row of thrones covered by a canopy.
The largest dragon chair in the middle, made entirely of gold and engraved with pictures of flying dragons and phoenixes, belongs to the king of Daxia.
There are eighteen jade seats on the left and right sides of the dragon chair, specially prepared for the eighteen most powerful generals and ministers in the Great Xia Empire.
Each sapphire throne is half a step back from the golden dragon chair, and the farther away, the more behind it, to show their status and power.
The spectator seats were full of guests, and everyone’s eyes were focused on the boys and girls at the front of the Qianlong Platform. Not long after, someone heard a question——
"Huh? It's strange. Logically speaking, the top ten people in the Alchemy Hall should stand at the front of the Qianlong Platform. But look, there are only nineteen people standing in the front. What's the truth?"
"Hmm... It may be that during the Battle Hall Top 100 competition, two equally matched opponents died together at the last moment, leaving only nine players on the field. Similar situations have happened before, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
.”
"It's also possible that one of the guys who was originally among the top ten was found to be a spy sent by the enemy country, and his results were invalidated."
Just as everyone was talking about it, a shrill voice pierced the sky: "Your Majesty is here!"
Immediately, everyone saw an imposing man in his prime descending from the sky!
He wore a nine-bead crown, a bright gold dragon robe, red gold dragon boots, and a palm-wide jade belt around his waist. His hands were clasped behind his back, and his face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but it gave people an invisible sense of shock.
This person is the nineteenth-generation monarch of Daxia: Xia Yuanlong!
Behind Xia Yuanlong, eighteen civil servants and generals followed closely.
Among them, the one who ranked first was a majestic-looking old man with colorful hair.
A standard Chinese character face, two deep nasolabial folds, and cold and resolute facial features make this elderly man, who is over seventy years old, look even more solemn.
This old man is none other than Chen Shen’s grandfather, the helmsman of the Imperial General’s Office, and the military commander His Majesty the King most relies on now—General Chen Zangfeng!
Now, Chen Zangfeng followed Xia Yuanlong without squinting his eyes, sat down on the first place on the right side without saying a word, and then closed his eyes to rest.
He didn't seem to have the slightest interest in the young talents on Qianlong Platform.
It’s not that Chen Zangfeng thinks highly of himself and is aloof from others.
It's really because these young talents can always deeply hurt his already weathered heart, making him recall the sad and deplorable past...
It's sad to say that this ancient old man had three sons and one daughter, all of whom were among the best!
Unfortunately, in the war fourteen years ago, two of the three sons died, one was paralyzed, and the daughter accidentally disappeared, and her whereabouts are still unknown...
Among the grandchildren, there is only one Chen Shen, and he is a born mentally retarded person who is half stupid and half cowardly, a loser who can never achieve anything!
The majestic military god family has stood firm in the Daxia Empire for thousands of years, but unexpectedly its roots were cut off by Chen Zangfeng.
As a clan leader, how could he not feel sad?
"Alas! It has been one hundred and twenty-seven days since Shen'er was relegated to Kowloon City. I wonder how he is doing now?"
"That's all. God will not bless my Chen family. I just hope that the only child of my generation can live a peaceful life in that small place in Kowloon City..."
Thinking of this, Chen Zangfeng couldn't help but sigh heavily.
But he didn't know that on the Qianlong Platform not far away, his so-called "silly grandson" was looking at his grandfather with a pair of bright eyes!
Perhaps because of the close blood relationship, when Chen Shen caught a glimpse of the old man's slightly frowning gray brows and sighed secretly, Chen Shen's heart suddenly tightened, and he seemed to be able to personally feel the bitterness and pain of his grandfather at this moment.
suffering.
Recalling the memory of the eldest son of the Chen family who was born and raised here, Chen Shen had just been born and his mother quietly disappeared.
Before he reached one year old, the sad news came from General Chen's mansion that his father had died in the war.
By the time he reached the age of three or four, his fatal flaw of being naturally stupid had already been exposed. From that moment on, his status as the young master of the General's Mansion was in name only.
Since then, thousands of clan members in the general's palace have become increasingly cold and disdainful towards him. Some vicious people even dared to cynicize and fight behind his back!
Since Chen Shen was six years old, the elders of the family have repeatedly suggested to Chen Zangfeng that he should give up his efforts to cultivate Chen Shen.
After all, the future young master is a fool. How can the Chen family's thousands-year-old foundation be destroyed because of such an helpless Adou?
From the few people who occasionally made suggestions at the beginning, to the joint pressure later on, grandpa Chen Zangfeng always supported his grandson and supported him every day for ten years!
Chen Zangfeng allocated a lot of cultivation resources to Chen Shen, and in order to cure his stupid symptoms, he invited almost all the famous doctors in Daxia to treat him, spending thousands of dollars on it.
It's a pity that more than ten years of hard work failed to save Mr. Chen, who was born and raised in this world.
In Chen Shen's memory, this iron-blooded general who was majestic, domineering, ruthless and ruthless in the eyes of others was actually extremely loving and peaceful towards him...
Now, when the grandfather and grandson meet each other, the young man's eyes are wet, and with a deep warmth in his heart, he softly calls out the two words he only shouted in his dream in his previous life: "Grandpa..."
