Chapter Eighty-Six: The Battle Conference

Time flies, and Delisi's class ended quickly, and after the last class, Delisi took the initiative to find Shi Yan and asked with a smile, "Shi Yan, which tutor's course do you plan to take next month?"

Shi Yan was a little surprised at first, and then smiled slightly. Tomorrow is the time for students to take electives again, and the tutors are going to be busy again, with Shi Yan's cultivation, he may choose a more advanced tutor, Tutor Dai Lisi knows that he is afraid that he will not be able to tutor him, but he is still a little unwilling to ask.

"I guess I should still take your class, but I don't know, do you still have to start with Flame Condensation here?" Shi Yan asked.

"No, let's start from the basics, the specific needs to be determined, there are not many new students in the past three months, most of the students who come to my class are still students in these three months, I can talk about the primary model at most, and the higher level needs to be a level 2 tutor," said Delisi.

"I'm sorry mentor, I want to start with the simulacrum," Shi Yan said.

"Okay, but Shi Yan, you're the best student I've ever seen since I became a mentor," said Delith.

"Thank you, but don't worry, my friends are still there," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"You said those two girls, right, well, I can see that they are older than you, but they seem to listen to you very much, and I can't see that Shi Yan is not a little charming," said Delis.

"They're my sisters," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Delis frowned.

"It's my sister," Shi Yan added.

The two smiled slightly, and then said goodbye, although Delis knew that she could still see this kid in the future, but when she thought that without Shi Yan, her classes would become boring and boring, and she felt a little lonely. Just when the freshmen were about to re-select their tutors, the annual 'Fighting Law Conference' began, and the academy postponed the tutor selection for one month as usual, which meant that Shi Yan would have to stay in Delisi's class for a month. When Alice learned about it, she was very happy, it didn't matter if Shi Yan arrived, she happened to have studied for three months, and she should start with the simulacrum.

In the academy cafeteria, at this time of the day, Shi Yan, Arus, and the three girls would gather at a table to eat. For Shi Yan, the food in the academy is already very good, and he can take whatever he likes, but he can't waste it.

"If you delay it for a month, won't the day of the tutor's elective be changed," Shi Yan said curiously.

"No, Senior Brother, the days are still the same, but three months have been shortened to two months, and when the Fighting Fa Conference is over, we can continue to study," Arus said.

"I'm getting more and more fond of this place," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Haha, I can see that Tutor Delis is also becoming more and more fond of you as a student," said Jobelle.

"Yes, Chief, you are talented, we can see that you have already learned Delis's tutor's course, and then you will change to a level 2 tutor, right" Qiao Xin'er said with some frustration.

"Yes, it's not a way to stay here all the time, I want to choose a level 2 mentor to try," Shi Yan said.

"You're fine, there are a lot of students for more than 1 year, and they can't even condense a fireball, after all, most people have limited talents, and it is not easy to be able to take level 3 fighters and spirit masters, so this academy only has level 1 tutors and level 2 tutors are the busiest, I heard that level 3 tutors' classes are simple students, unlike us, there are one or two hundred people in a class" Qiao Xin'er said.

"Oh, I see, what is the Fighting Law Conference?" Shi Yan asked.

"Alas, it's also called the Fighting Law Conference, but it's actually a 'Learning Competition', Senior Brother, don't look at this as an academy, the relationship is not simpler than the outside," Arus said.

"I see~" Shi Yan nodded and smiled.

"Chief, you've been here for a long time, don't you communicate with the people in the dormitory?" Qiao Linger asked.

"I live by myself, I don't have roommates," Shi Yan said.

"What?" The four of them were surprised.

"What, what's wrong?" Shi Yan was puzzled.

"Why are you alone?" Arus said enviously.

"I don't know," Shi Yan said.

"Oh, chief, you're fine, don't be angry, we're miserable, we're bullied by those seniors all day long, in addition to fetching water and washing clothes, we also have to be responsible for sorting out their used items and making beds" Qiao Ling'er muttered.

"So? Is there a way to move out? Shi Yan said.

"This is the academy, we can't expect too much, I've heard the seniors say that it's hard at first, but after a long time, you get used to it," Jobelle said.

Seeing everyone's distressed appearance, Arus suddenly smiled proudly, and everyone felt inexplicable, only to see Arus clear his throat, and then pretend to be mysterious and said, "I have a way to keep you from being angry."

"What's the solution?" Qiao Xin'er and Qiao Ling'er said curiously.

"There is a tower in the Santis Academy, called the Type Seven Pagoda, where we can rest with the 'aura value' that the academy has given us," Arus said.

"Big brother, our three-month 'aura value' is only for us to use for 7 days, what should we do with the remaining 80 days?" Xin'er asked disdainfully after listening.

"We can find a way to top up, and besides, we don't have to live every day, just go once in a while," Jobel said.

Shi Yan knows the 'aura value', and every time he chooses a mentor, the assignees will automatically replenish the 'aura value' for 7 days, and the aura value can be stacked, with an upper limit of 90 days. However, most people are reluctant to use it, and they will only enter the tower to practice before and after the training.

"The aura value is very rare, how can we increase the aura value?" Shi Yan asked.

"The top 10 in the Fighting Law Conference can be rewarded with aura points, some learn to perform tasks for the academy, they can get it, and those who have outstanding achievements in a certain field can get it, and they can buy it with other students or exchange it," Qiao Belle said.

"It shouldn't be difficult to be in the top 10 at the elementary level," Shi Yan said.

"The four of us are not enough level 1 fighters and spirit masters, it shouldn't be difficult to mix in the top 10 among the freshmen, the leader is now a double cultivator of level 1 and 3 stages, I don't know if I can enter the top 10," Qiao Xin'er said.

"Let's try it, we can't dare to take the college task, we can only buy students, or squeeze into the top 10," Shi Yan said.

"Alright, let's prepare," Arus said.

The seven-type pagoda is said to be a pagoda made of a mixture of precious ore and animal bone spirit stones. Advanced cultivators often fail to be promoted due to the lack of heaven and earth aura, and this seven-type pagoda has the divine effect of gathering the aura of heaven and earth, so senior cultivators are willing to be promoted in it. As for junior cultivators, the demand for aura for promotion is very limited, so they can not go to the tower. But promotion requires a better environment, and practicing in the tower on weekdays is more effective than in other places. Therefore, when students have aura values, they will arrange and use them reasonably.

The seven-type pagoda is divided into seven layers, the more to the top of the tower, the more sufficient the aura, the required aura value will also be relatively overturned, generally speaking, the students are more in the first and second floors, and only some wealthy old students will go up on the third and third floors.

~~~~~

The competition is held in the last 10 days of the month, and all students are eligible to participate, and the college will set aside 20 days to do a basic screening. The venue is in the martial arts arena of the academy, and children of the same level compete in the competition, and all students without exception must participate until the results are divided.

"Shi Yan, the first round of screening will start tomorrow, are you ready?" Delis asked.

"Well, I've breathed in the past few days, and I'm already in the best condition, so it's up to me to see the strength of the opponent," Shi Yan said.

"You said you have level 1 and 3 ranks, right, I just took a look, there are more than 2,000 fighters and spirits from level 1 and 1 to level 9, and the academy will spend 20 days mainly screening the beginners, and you will be very tired in these 10 days," Dai Lisi said.

"More than 2,000?" Shi Yan was surprised.

"Yes, the primary duel is relatively simple, basically you can decide the winner in a few rounds, but there are too many people, and the time given by the academy is enough, you should be fine," Delis laughed.

"What is the strength of 2,000 people? How many students are above the 3rd dan of the first level?" asked Shi Yan.

"I don't know, but every year before the competition, the students are tested at the 'test stone', and only then do we know how far the students have reached this year," said Delith.

"Test stones? Could it be a multicolored divine stone? Shi Yan asked.

"Do you still know the Colorful Divine Stone?" Delis laughed.

"A little bit, I've just heard of it," Shi Yan said.

"And do you know what it does?" Delis asked.

"It is said to be sensitive to various attributes, and it can use color to allow practitioners to distinguish the attributes in the practitioner's body," Shi Yan said.

"That's true, but what else?" Delis asked.

"And?" Shi Yan was puzzled.

"Hehe, it seems that you don't know much about it, and it is also based on the size of the cyclone in your body and the purity of the inner pill, you can determine your cultivation level," Dai Lisi said with a smile.

"Oh, it's so amazing, I really want to see it with my own eyes," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Xiao Yan, in fact, I can see that your fighting spirit and true qi are very pure, although the level is only level 1 and 3 ranks, but your foundation is really good, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a fighter of level 1 and 7 stages to hurt you," Dai Lisi said.

"The tutor said that the gap is very large, how can I compete with someone who is four levels higher than me," Shi Yan said with a smile.

~~~~~

At night, Shi Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, and after entering a meditative state, he began to run the Dou and True Qi in his body to echo with the outside world. The injuries in his body have healed, and Shi Yan has also re-strengthened the imprint in the meridians, and with the help of the heavenly gods, the fighting qi and true qi are quietly running according to the established meridians.

"Aunt Jing?" Shi Yan called softly.

The ring was still very quiet, but Pucci got out of the ring, bouncing around the room, feeling bored after playing for a while, and simply sat beside Shi Yan and watched Shi Yan practice.

"Is there still a 'Soul Bead' in the ring?" Shi Yan looked at Pucci and asked.

"Puff~" Pucci nodded.

"How long will it last?" asked Shi Yan.

Pucci was stunned for a moment, fiddling with the two little hands, calculating that it was not enough, and stretched out his toes again, but it was still not enough, and turned his head to look at Shi Yan's hands and feet~

"Okay, okay, look at your appearance enough for a month," Shi Yan asked.

"Puff~" Pucci nodded.

~~~~~

After the internal repair, Shi Yan was a little tired and slept until dawn. Early the next morning, the instructors brought their students to the academy's martial arts hall. The martial arts dojo of Santis occupies nearly a quarter of the area of Santis Academy, and the construction is very large, with four venues. In the middle of the martial arts arena, this huge multicolored divine stone is placed, and the sacred stone is carved and stands in the middle of the field. The arena was open for 5,000 students to watch the competition, and Delis led 200 students to the place where they belonged and sat down.

After settling the students, the two vice presidents came to the center of the martial arts center to read out the rules of the 'Fighting Law Conference'. Due to the large number of people, the competition venue is divided into four areas, which can accommodate 8 students to compete at the same time, and almost more than 200 students can participate in a day.

The rules of the early competition are very simple, the tutors of each class will arrange the students at one time, and the students will come to the 'test stone' and put their hands in the designated position, and the light of the multicolored divine stone can tell everyone what attribute he is a cultivator, and then his level will be displayed. Generally speaking, during the three-month period, the instructor has a rough idea of the students' strength, which is generally high to low, and allows the students to enter the martial arts arena in turn to compete.

"Isn't that going to be messy?" Shi Yan asked.

"Don't worry, the instructors know what to expect, and of course there are some exceptions, but it won't affect the progress of the conference," said Delis.

"Which stage of cultivator starts first?" Shi Yan asked.

"In the past, the four areas of the martial arts arena could be used by cultivators of different levels to compete at the same time, but in recent years, the rules of the academy have changed, probably because there are more learners, and it is not certain who will go up in the four areas," Dai Lisi said.

Sure enough, after the vice presidents read out the rules, eight students jumped to the venue in an instant, striding towards the Colorful Divine Stone, only to see that after the first person put his hand on the Colorful Divine Stone, the Colorful Divine Stone 'Buzz~', exuding yellow, orange and blue, indicating that he is a cultivator with three attributes, and then the Colorful Divine Stone lit up, showing the words 'Level 2 9 Rank Fighter'.

"Wow~" There were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

Shi Yan looked at the 8 contestants, the age gap is very large, some are already twenty-seven or eighteen, and some are only seventeen or eighteen, with different personal foundations and different understandings, creating different levels of the same age group. The 8 students who went up turned out to be all 2nd level 9th stage cultivators!

"I'll go, these 8 people will be excited to fight" There was an exclamation from Arus not far away.

"Shut up," Huang Feng next to him reprimanded.

Shi Yan turned his head to look and found that Arus was not far away, and he knew that it was him when he heard this stupid voice, but Shi Yan didn't expect Arus to be a junior brother in the Huangfeng Society, watching his junior brother being oppressed, Shi Yan frowned and sighed silently.

At the beginning of the competition, fighters and spirits of different ages and the same strength began to crackle, and they fought in the arena with radiance, and to be honest, they fought very well. Shi Yan remembered the enrollment scene of the 'Abess Ancient Academy' in the bamboo forest town of the Stone Country, and it seemed that some cultivators were still gritting their teeth. But this Santis competition is the same, the fighters and spirits of the seven attributes of 'Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth' plus 'Wind and Thunder' on both sides are competing with their opponents in the field with their major skills.

In the same level competition, in addition to the strength depends on whether the experience is experienced or not, soon, the older cultivators defeat the younger ones, don't look at the same strength, it still depends on experience to really fight.

"Mentor Delisi, their strength is so strong, it's hard to tell the winner from the loser in a fight," Shi Yan said.

"Yes, the first to go up are the best in this level, not just to compete and prove themselves, but also to prove their learning," said Delis.

"What do you mean? How do you prove that you are learning? Shi Yan said curiously.

"Do you know why the instructors don't have to worry about no one going on?" said Delis.

"I don't know," Shi Yan shook his head.

"Because there are a lot of societies in the academy, before each martial arts competition, the leaders of the academy will privately arrange the order of the members' participation, in addition to the top 10 students at all levels will be rewarded, Stantis will also reward the most winning societies," Delis said with a smile.

"Oh? It turns out that there are many benefits to participating in the society," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Of course, the old students of these societies also share a lot of responsibilities for the academy on weekdays, and if you want to be famous in the academy, you must first gain a firm foothold in the academy, and there are many ways to do this," said Delis.

"No wonder" Shi Yan said with a smile, looking back at Arus, who was angry not far away, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly.

The first round ended quickly, and then immediately 8 people returned to the martial arts arena, Shi Yan counted, there were almost more than 100 cultivators whose strength reached level 2 and 9 ranks, and soon it was the turn of the cultivators of level 2 and 8 stages. The instructors outside the arena were also looking down to remember something, and Delis told him that they were using this opportunity to see how fast the students were progressing, and at the same time, they could also see the current strength of the Santis Academy.

The competition between the level 2 fighter and the spirit man ended after 7 days, and in the blink of an eye, it was the turn of the level 1 fighter and the spirit fighter. The order was still very clear, and at the beginning, the fighters and spirits of the 1st level and 9th stage flew onto the field one after another. Compared with the level 2 fighters and spirits, the level 1 ones are much simpler, and the cyclone and inner dan are not too big, and basically the time of one stick of incense can end a round.

Soon, it was the turn of the 1st level and 3rd stage to play, and the low-level participants had limited strength and generally didn't fly up, so they all walked up from the four entrances in order to save power, and Shi Yan was the same. Among the 8 people, he ranked last, and when the first four people passed the test of the colorful divine stone, there was a student of level 1 and 9 dan among the four people, and there were a lot of sighs immediately under the martial arts field.

"What's going on?" Qiao Xin'er looked at the student puzzled.

"Opportunistic, many students will play their cards out of the ordinary, hiding their strength in the late game, in order to win the first few competitions," said Delis.

"Is this okay?" Jobelle asked.

"At the end of the competition, there will be scenes of different stages of the same level, but there is no way, it is opportunistic in the early stage like this, but it will be shamed by others," said Delis.

Not only that, but even the tutors on the sidelines frowned, this has happened over the years, but it is very rare, and I can't imagine that some students still go out of the way like this. What surprised Dai Lisi even more was that this level 1 and 9th stage fighter actually stood in the same martial arts arena as Shi Yan.

"It's really too much, like deliberately going towards Shi Yan," Delis said suddenly.

"Oops, the leader is only level 1 and level 3, this guy must have seen the leader be young, so he was deliberately selected," Jobelle said.

"Chief? Why do you call him Chief? Delis wondered.

"Before we came, we were together, and he was the leader of the four of us," Qiao Xin'er said.

"Oh?" Delis looked at the arena with some confusion.

"Tutor, I feel that this is unfair, the academy should compete from low to high level, why should the powerful students fight first?" Xin'er airway.

"Alas~ Different levels, the time for cultivation is also different, in this arrangement, people with high levels can rest for a while longer, so that they can fight the enemy with all their strength at the Fighting Law Conference," Dai Lisi said.

"It's not fair~" Xin'er airway.
