The four colleges of the royal city are built around mountains, and the main entrances of each college are tens of miles away from each other. It gives the impression that the four colleges are distinct and have no connection with each other.
However, the walls adjacent to the four courtyards were demolished for unknown reasons a hundred years ago, so there were four back doors. The four back doors were neatly facing each other. This seemed to be a coincidence, but it was more like a deliberate decision.
In front of the back door of the Fourth Courtyard, there is a large open space with four arenas. Every year, the best of the four elite disciples will win in the arena and be promoted to core disciples.
Then, the four newly promoted core disciples will represent their respective colleges in a competition euphemistically called friendship exchange.
Li Ying frowned. Of course he knew that this so-called exchange competition was just a secret competition between the four colleges to compete for the honor of being the number one college in the Daqian Kingdom.
With his calm and indifferent character, it is naturally difficult for him to be interested in such a battle. Moreover, he feels that Lingxiao Academy is not suitable to participate in this competition at all, let alone hold this competition to select core disciples.
Lingxiao Academy only selects one core disciple every year, and there is no doubt that the core disciple of this year is Qin Feng. This was promised to Qin Feng by Lingxiao Academy in front of tens of thousands of people during the Fourth Academy Examination.
Therefore, the so-called literary test, martial arts test, or the current arena competition should not appear.
What's more, the beast tide broke out in Hidden Mist Mountain two days ago, and both Qin Feng and Shangguan Yu'er disappeared. It's very dangerous... What Lingxiao Academy should do at this time is to send experts to search Hidden Mist Mountain, right?
Human life is more important than heaven. What if they are extremely lucky to survive the outbreak of the beast tide? Even if they are unlucky...even if they find two corpses, is it Lingxiao Academy's respect for the dead?
However, what is a bit chilling is that under the mobilization of Elder Luo, Lingxiao Academy only sent out a few disciples in a symbolic manner. After searching the periphery of Hidden Mist Mountain, they began to hold the group competition in full swing.
It has to be said that Elder Luo's authority in the Presbyterian Church is not small, and in the eyes of the old guys in the Presbyterian Church, two small lives seem to be indeed insignificant.
At the very least, its importance is far less than competing with Lingxiao Academy and winning the reputation of the first academy.
Li Ying was determined to search Hidden Mist Mountain again, even if he was alone.
However, the dean went into seclusion, King Dan went to the palace but did not return, Xia Qianjie also left Lingxiao Academy because she had important things to do, and Nangong Yun was also very busy because of many things in the Nangong family, and rarely returned to the academy. .
Therefore, the only member of the Alchemy King lineage in the academy who could barely hold on to the situation was Li Ying. Therefore, Elder Luo and the people from the Presbyterian Council forced him to witness the Lingxiao Academy Arena Competition. Witness the birth of this 'new core disciple'.
"A selection is a foregone conclusion, what's there to see?" Li Ying's eyes narrowed into a thin line, almost closing completely, as if she didn't want to take another look at the ring.
But even so, he could still clearly feel the arrogance coming from the ring.
In the other three of the four arenas, the competition was still in full swing, but the arena belonging to Lingxiao Academy was very quiet, and the atmosphere seemed strange and depressing.
There was only one person on the ring, and a domineering bloody spear was stuck in front of him.
"It seems that you don't have any objections to me becoming a core disciple." Cheng Hu stood in front of the gun, folded his hands on his chest, raised his chin slightly, and glanced at the elite disciples below one by one, with an indescribable expression on his face.
of arrogance.
His voice was not loud, and he sounded very calm. But when such a calm tone was combined with an arrogant demeanor, it represented an extreme disdain for everyone in the audience.
Cheng Hu has a cultivation level of the sixth level of Xuanling. With such strength, he is indeed the best among the elite disciples of Lingxiao Academy. However, there are several disciples who also have a cultivation level of the sixth level of Xuanling.
However, no disciple dared to come up to the stage to challenge. Everyone's eyes fell on the blood-red spear, and there was a look of fear in the depths of their eyes.
A tall young man in black was helping a young man in purple to leave. The young man in purple had some tatters on his robe, and there were three or four blood holes on his shoulders, with blood flowing out from time to time.
The young man in black glanced angrily at Cheng Hu on the ring. Hot air blew out of his nose and he let out an angry groan. He supported the young man in purple and staggered away.
"Song Qing, I know you also have the sixth level of Xuanling. If you are not convinced, come on stage and fight as soon as possible." Cheng Hu seemed to have noticed the angry gaze of the young man in black, and sneered and shouted loudly.
Song Qing gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly in his black sleeves, and tightened his facial muscles, making his originally handsome and strong face become gloomy and ugly.
Apparently, he was on the verge of rage.
"Junior Brother Song, no." Zipao shook his head slightly, with a helpless smile on his pale face.
"What's wrong? Don't you dare?" Cheng Hu stood on the ring and said with a proud smile. As both the best among the elite disciples, he had long disliked Song Qing and the purple-robed young man, even though they were in the ring just now
In the ring, he had severely injured the young man in purple robe, but he still felt a little uneasy with his hatred.
"If you dare to put away that heaven-level divine spear, I, Song Qing, will certainly not be afraid of you." Song Qing said coldly.
The crowd couldn't help but murmur in agreement. The heaven-level magic weapon was extremely powerful. Cheng Hu was already extremely strong, and he had the heaven-level magic weapon in his hand. Who among the elite disciples could defeat him? This seemed a bit unfair.
"What a joke. I have a magic weapon in my hand, why can't I use it? Moreover, I can exert the power of the magic weapon, which is a rare ability." Cheng Hu said with a sneer.
Elder Luo smiled and nodded to Cheng Hu. He stood up at the right time, looked around at everyone and snorted: "Fairness? There is no absolute fairness in this world. Some people are born into a dragon or a phoenix among people, and they are the best among people. And
Some people come from humble backgrounds. The way of heaven is unfair! What kind of fairness do you want? What's more, the competition to select core disciples of Lingxiao Academy has never prohibited the use of heaven-level magic weapons. If you have such magic weapons,
Feel free to use it.”
After hearing this, the crowd could only remain silent even though they were unwilling to do so.
As for Song Qing, he could only help the young man in purple to drift away. Although Elder Luo's words were unpleasant, there was nothing wrong with him. He indeed did not have a heaven-level magic weapon...
Elder Luo seemed to be very satisfied with the crowd's reaction, and his smile became even brighter, "Since you don't dare to challenge Cheng Hu, then Cheng Hu is the new core disciple of this session." After he said this, he added
Deliberately casting his gaze on Li Ying, he said with a proud smile: "Senior Nephew Li Ying, the Dan King lineage that you represent will probably not object."
Li Ying didn't speak. Of course he knew that Elder Luo was deliberately mocking him, but he couldn't refute it.
He has always insisted on making Qin Feng a core disciple, but now Qin Feng has disappeared. It is logical that Lingxiao Academy will hold an arena competition to select a new core disciple. Although this matter was proposed by Elder Luo, it is not
Approved by the Presbyterian Church.
King Alchemy is not here and he is just a small core disciple. How can he influence the decision of the Presbyterian Council?
Li Ying sighed leisurely, and suddenly began to miss the guy who he once thought was arrogant, ignorant and always able to create miracles. "What would he do if 'that guy' was here at this time?"
At this time, a gust of breeze suddenly arose. The wind bent the branches of the willows and swept away a layer of light yellow sand on the ground, blowing the crowd and captivating their eyes.
But everyone didn't even bother to wipe their eyes, but there was a look of surprise on their faces, because in the wind, there was a young man's casual and determined words: "I don't agree."
"Who? Who disagrees? Is there anyone who should challenge Cheng Hu?" The crowd looked around blankly with surprised expressions, and finally saw a young man walking slowly from the direction where the strange wind was blowing.
At the age of sixteen, he can indeed be called a boy. The childishness on his face seems to have not faded, but he has a calmness and calmness that is inconsistent with his age. His voice is very soft and casual, but he just says
The content published is so overbearing.
"Disagree?" Who dares to say that he disagrees with the results that Elder Luo and the Presbyterian Council are about to announce? And who has the qualifications to say that he disagrees?
"Ah, that's Qin Feng!" Finally someone with sharp eyes recognized the young man's identity.
"Qin Feng? But he wasn't in the outbreak of the beast tide...it turns out he didn't die." Someone sighed.
Elder Luo also saw Qin Feng, which made him unable to recover. He did not expect that Qin Feng, who should have died in the beast tide, would appear here safe and sound. This caught him off guard, and he even spoke
The tone was also somewhat stammering: "You...why do you disagree."
"I became a core disciple. This is Lingxiao Academy's promise to me. Now you want to give the identity of this core disciple to others. Of course I don't agree." Qin Feng's tone was still calm, but there was a hint of calmness in his tone.
It has a slight chill.
He knew very well that Elder Luo had something to do with the assassination of Cheng Hu and others in Hidden Mist Mountain.
"But, as usual..." Elder Luo was going to say that only the winner of the arena competition would be qualified to become a core disciple, but he stopped abruptly only halfway through his words. Because he thought of
Back in Hidden Mist Mountain, Qin Feng showed terrifying strength.
"As usual, you have to win in the arena, right?" Qin Feng ignored Elder Luo's ugly face and lightly jumped onto the arena, with a faint smile on his lips.
But when his smile fell into the eyes of Elder Luo and Cheng Hu on the stage, it was so evil and terrifying.
In the arena, Cheng Hu's arrogant aura was no longer there, and he even took a few steps back in fear. In the battle at Hidden Mist Mountain a few days ago, Qin Feng did not lose at all when he fought one against five.
The strength is so terrifying, he has no confidence in defeating Qin Feng.
"Give you a chance, I'll count to three and you get off the ring." Qin Feng glanced at Cheng Hu and said lightly. Although he and Cheng Hu already had a lot of grievances, facing a small character like Cheng Hu, Qin Feng
But Feng couldn't feel much hatred towards him, and he didn't bother to care too much.
That feeling is like seeing an ant on the ground. Although the ant is a bit annoying, people will just step on it casually, but they will not care about the life or death of the ant, let alone hold a grudge.
Qin Feng was like this at this time. His words were very casual, but they sounded like a thunder in the hearts of the crowd.
Cheng Hu has a sixth-level cultivation of Xuanling, and even possesses a heaven-level magic weapon. With such strength, he is almost invincible among elite disciples, but Qin Feng actually told him to get lost?
This is really...arrogant! It's really too arrogant!
