Chapter 25: First Place?
"Dean, what do you call us?"
Zhou Xu and Lin Ruxue entered the dean's room together. After seeing the two, the dean showed a strange expression and sighed deeply:
"Zhou Xu, why do you like the little girl so much?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruxue's face was still unfazed, this was her usual style.
"Hey...... The Dean won't ask me to talk about this, will he?"
"Naturally notβhuh? You've been promoted to a martial king?"
"Dean, what is going on?" Zhou Xu was a little anxious and dealt with it casually, "-It's just luck, if you're not careful, it's the Martial King." β
"Ha, careless? How many people want to be 'careless'. After the ridicule, the dean put on a correct posture:
"There are three major academies in the Qingfeng Domain, you all know it - kamikaze, kenshin, and berserk. These three colleges agree to hold a competition every ten years to indirectly reflect the strength and weakness of the colleges, which we call - the college competition. β
"Oh?"
"However, the strength of our academy is the weakest, and it is at the bottom every time, so there are only ten places...... In this case, there will be a small preliminary round in the academy first, specifically the ring, and the ten people who successfully defend will get a place. β
The dean stood up, walked to the window, and pointed with his finger: "The ten rings are there, you guys go quickly." β
"Have any of the students in the academy participated in the last big competition?" Zhou Xu turned his head and asked before leaving.
"This ...... It stands to reason that every 10 years there is a new class of people. But there are exceptions to everything......"
"1st place...... Is it?"
Ten years ago, less than a year after entering the school, he had already obtained the qualification of the college at that time. It's a pity that it failed miserably, and it was extremely humiliating. So, he waited ten years to get rid of it......"
"If you get a defeat and stop moving, you don't count as a character!" Lin Ruxue suddenly made a judgment.
"Ten years...... It's not a short ......", Zhou Xu sneered, a trace of unusual loneliness flashed in his eyes, and in the next second, he restrained his expression:
"So...... We just need to fight for the ring now?"
Oh - the top ten in the academy is hardly a challenge for the current two, but it is very easy. Therefore, the two walked in the direction of the ring without interest.
"Now, Ru Xue. For that number one...... Do you know anything?"
"I met him very rarely, no more than five. β
Lin Ruxue recalled, "Liu Yanfeng, the last time his strength was at the peak of the Martial King, this is not so easy to break through, he has been here for several years, and in recent years, he has been training in the forest next to the academy. By the way, this person has two attributes - gold and fire. β
"Dual attributes!?"
The vast majority of cultivators can only have one attribute, however, some people are naturally gifted and have two attributes when cultivating.
There are even more strange ones, with three or four ...... That's all rare, basically impossible.
There are some masters who have cultivated to a certain level, and they will also try to cultivate the second attribute, but very few of them succeed.
Once he fails, the damage to his own dantian is extremely powerful, and even his life's skills can no longer be improved.
Therefore, if there is a dual attribute, then, it is definitely a proud capital, and the benefits it brings are also huge.
The interdependence between the attributes is definitely not as simple as 1+1=2, the mutual assistance of the two attributes, mutual improvement, can improve a cultivator by more than four or five times.
"If it's a dual attribute, it's really very difficult to deal with. Zhou Xu held his chin thoughtfully.
However, unconsciously, the distance between the two was very close, and judging from Lin Ruxue's character, this was an extremely strange thing - at least in the eyes of passers-by.
Seeing the two of them negotiating there, the students of the Kamikaze Academy widened their eyes and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. A group of people whispered, and when they confirmed that it was indeed the "ice beauty" - Lin Ruxue, they all secretly gave Zhou Xu a thumbs up and cast envious glances at him.
Obviously, the two didn't notice the gaze around them. They slowly walked towards the ten rings, and at the same time, the people in the ring also noticed them, so their faces were a little solemn.
Nine of these ten people Zhou Xu has seen, but there is only one - the mysterious first place, Liu Yanfeng.
The first impression that this person brought to Zhou Xu was that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, without the slightest sense of mystery he showed, however, things may not be so simple.
His eyes inadvertently released a gloom that did not belong to a gentleman, as if he was looking at Zhou Xu, a miraculous talent in this academy:
"Zhou Xu, sure enough, I heard that your performance in the academy is extremely outstanding, and I just want to find you!"
"Hah...... It's too much, I'm just an ordinary student. β
Zhou Xu responded simply, and at the same time, he found that this person was indeed not simple. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't detect his depth, this was the gap between the peak of the Martial King and himself!
The rest of the people have improved a lot after receiving the enlightenment of the aura, of course, these people do not include the white shadow.
Lin Ruxue has gone from the 6th order of the Martial King to the 8th order, and Feng Tianyin has also broken through to the Martial King, and now lives in the eighth rank of the academy. And that bearded man, King Kong, also broke through the 5th rank and was promoted to the 6th rank, and already has the capital to surpass the third place.
"The people in the ring have to accept the challenge. β
Lin Ruxue walked towards the white shadow with an expressionless face, after a day of healing, he barely managed to hold a ring, but if Lin Ruxue really wanted to challenge him, he would definitely lose.
However, why did Lin Ruxue challenge him? This question may not even be known to her.
Fairy Lin said with a smile, I ...... Throw in the towel......"
Just kidding, for this kind of inevitable challenge, Bai Ying didn't have any idea, and jumped out of the ring in a daze. This also means that he has missed this college competition.
"So, who am I going to challenge?"
Now in the ten rings, there are only 2 people who have crossed paths with Zhou Xu, Tianyin and Ru Xue are naturally impossible, so ......
"Brother Zhou, do you remember me?"
A rough voice came from the ring, and following the voice, it was a muscular and burly man - King Kong. This person, Zhou Xu remembered, he was very dissatisfied with himself last time.
"Of course, what instructions does Brother King Kong have?"
"I can't talk about ...... instructions"
King Kong suddenly saluted him, "I looked down on you before, but now, you really surprise me. For that, I apologize to you, and I hope you can have a real fight with me!"
"Hey, what can you look down on, Brother King Kong is polite. - In that case, you're welcome!"
So, Zhou Xu jumped into the ring and returned a salute:
"Pleaseβ"
