Chapter 80: Cowardice before Fighting
The multi-day Imperial Intercollegiate Fighting Tournament finally reached its last day, and except for a few people who took the lead yesterday because they had important matters to deal with, most of them chose to stay and watch the fighting finals of the Intermediate Division, not only because of the unpredictable results, but also because everyone wanted to witness the birth of the strongest of the younger generation of the Imperial Academy.
Except for a very small number of people like Tang Yuan who had a strong family background and did not want or need to enter the academy to cultivate, most of the young people in the empire would choose to enter a cultivation academy to study.
As a result, the teams and cadets who can win the championship in the Imperial Intercollegiate Fighting Tournament will even go beyond the academy and be regarded as the strongest of the younger generation in the Empire.
Because the three teams that entered the finals this time were the Intermediate Tribe of Shuiyue County Shuiyue Palace, Yingjun Xuanmu Academy and Thunder County Longzhen Academy. Therefore, as the main force of the Water Moon Palace, Lin Rui, Xuanmu Academy Andre, and Longzhen Academy Murong Xiying have received great attention from everyone!
The game hasn't started yet, but there's already a lot of talk in the audience.
"Yesterday, Longzhen Academy has won the championship of the senior group, and today it will be pursued by victory, and the intermediate department will definitely win the championship, and it will be the championship for the tenth time!"
"No, no, no, I'm more optimistic about Lin Rui of the Water Moon Palace, one person challenges four opponents, and even more so in one battle and three, it's just a perverted combat power, buddy, in the middle department of any academy in this empire, I'm afraid that no one else can do it!"
"It is said that when Andre was only 16 years old, he dared to break into the two-star forbidden land of Star County alone, 'Burial of Bones', and in the past two years, he has even accepted the cultivation task of the senior department, maybe he will become the biggest dark horse in this intermediate department fighting competition!"
"Cut, don't you know that Murong Xiying of Dragon Town Academy is a disciple of yesterday's high-level champion, President Robic? With the guidance of President Robbik, what Lin Rui and Andre are not enough! ”
Just when the audience from all the counties in the stadium was excited, speculating about who of the three participating colleges might win the final championship. In the student contestant area of the Water Moon Palace, there were several people who looked nervous and anxious.
The person standing in the middle is Yue Ling'er, as a member of the Intermediate Department of the Water Moon Palace, Yue Ling'er did not choose to go to the ordinary audience today, but came to the Water Moon Palace contestant seat, ready to cheer for Lin Rui as a student of the Intermediate Department of the Water Moon Palace, but he didn't expect that now that the fighting matches are about to start, Lin Rui has not come to the venue for a long time.
"Haven't you found Lin Rui yet?" Yue Ling'er asked the other students of the Water Moon Palace on the side.
"This county lord, we don't know where Lin Rui went, according to the teacher who managed the student hut, he didn't see Lin Rui go back to the student hut at all last night." A student said helplessly.
Yue Ling'er was secretly worried in her heart, since she separated from Lin Rui yesterday, she originally thought that it was just because Samir hadn't seen Lin Rui for too long, and she hoped to talk alone, Lin Rui would soon come to the venue to find herself, but she didn't expect that Lin Rui hadn't appeared until the end of the game.
After that, she thought that Lin Rui had returned to the Moon Tower, but after she went back, the waiter over there said that Lin Rui had never returned to the Moon Tower at all.
Yue Ling'er thought about it later, maybe Lin Rui had returned to the student hut of the Water Moon Palace, and he would arrive at the venue before today's competition, but Lin Rui had not appeared until now, and he had not returned to the student hut.
"I was so careless, I should have sent someone to look for him yesterday." Yue Ling'er was secretly annoyed by her carelessness.
But then again, seeing Lin Rui's extraordinary skills now, and the day before yesterday, he took action to save the honor of the Water Moon Palace, how could Yue Ling'er have thought that he would disappear at this critical moment?
And because of the rules of the palace, in addition to being able to contact the family of the palace, Yue Ling'er's energy gem did not even establish contact with a confidant like Balong and a friend like Tang Yuan, and now she can't use the energy gem to contact Lin Rui, so she really has to be in a hurry.
At this time, Tang Yuan came to Yue Ling'er's side and whispered: "Report to the county lord, Teacher Samir said that he just talked to Lin Rui about the old days, and Lin Rui left him at noon yesterday."
Yue Ling'er closed her eyes, she knew Samir when she was very young, and Samir was already the head of the palace forging division at that time, although I don't know why grandpa Yuehong drove Samir out of the palace later, but Yue Ling'er has always missed Uncle Samir at that time.
She even knew that Samir was a person with an upright personality and a strong sense of responsibility, and since she had taken care of Lin Rui for many years, she should not do anything unfavorable to Lin Rui.
Yue Ling'er shook her head a little helplessly, and muttered in her heart: "Lin Rui, where are you?" ”
And as the host took the stage to announce the official start of the game, under the huge cheers of the audience, a competition to determine the strongest of the young generation of the empire officially kicked off!
"The lottery begins!" As the host announced, a lottery box was immediately sent to the guest seat by several mentors, and Principal Custer and King Wakabayashi first drew the academy for the first round of the showdown!
Principal Custer smiled slightly, reached into the box, and gently took out a note and handed it to the tutor who was in charge of notarization on the side.
And King Ruolin also laughed, reached into the box, grabbed it a few times, and pinched out a note.
The tutor in charge of the notarization bowed slightly to the two, turned to the sidelines, and handed the note to the host on the stage.
The host took the note, slowly unfolded it, and after taking a look, he looked up at the countless wide-eyed and breathless viewers around him, and said loudly: "Okay, now the list of the first round of duels has come out, and I now announce that the two sides of the first round of battles are ~~~~"
Yue Ling'er and the surrounding Water Moon Palace students all felt a burst of difficulty breathing, as if their hearts were about to jump out.
The host said loudly: "The duel between Longzhen Academy and Xuanmu Academy!" ”
Eh, everyone in the Water Moon Palace felt relieved in their hearts, and their hands and feet were soft, but fortunately, they escaped the catastrophe for the time being.
However, it is still not possible to go on like this, and when the battle between the two sides is over, the Water Moon Palace must send someone up.
However, who else in the Water Moon Palace can take on such a great responsibility now?
Suddenly, a student on the side said softly: "If it doesn't work, let's abstain." ”
This student was one of the two people who were temporarily selected yesterday and were originally going to partner Lin Rui on stage.
Due to Mason's withdrawal, his two partners also slipped away, so the Intermediate Department of the Water Moon Palace temporarily selected the two partners Lin Rui, but they didn't expect that one of them would be timid on the eve of taking the stage!
Yue Ling'er's complexion changed, and cowardice before fighting was a taboo for soldiers. I'm afraid that before it is the turn of the Intermediate Department of the Water Moon Palace to come to the stage to fight, there will be chaos inside.
Yue Ling'er sighed lightly and said, "Wait for the battle of the Water Moon Palace, I'll go up and take the lead first!" ”
Tang Yuan and the surrounding Shuiyue Palace students all changed their faces and said, "County Lord, you"
Yue Ling'er waved her hand and said, "Even if Lin Rui comes back now, we still need the two of us to partner with him, and now there are people who are cowardly before fighting, and they are no longer suitable for fighting." I've been practicing martial arts for two years, so I can barely get up to the top of it. ”
After speaking, Yue Ling'er looked at the people around her, and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't underestimate Miss Ben, I also got the guidance of President Robic at Longzhen Academy, and the martial artists who are generally junior cultivators in physical combat are not my opponents!" ”
Tang Yuan was extremely anxious in his heart, but as a member of society, he was not qualified to represent the academy in the fighting ring at all, and he could not help Yue Ling'er.
A cloud of anger rose in his heart, and Tang Yuan glared fiercely at the guy who had just said that he was going to abstain and forced Yue Ling'er to come to power, with a great killing intent in his eyes.
That guy was trembling when Tang Yuan saw it, he didn't dare to look at each other, lowered his head and hid behind the crowd, and said in a low voice: "It's just a competition, as for being so desperate, our Water Moon Palace hasn't won the championship for so many years anyway, and it's not bad that this time we failed." ”
Fortunately, he had already ducked behind, and with the huge cheers of the audience, the cheers drowned out his voice. Otherwise, let Tang Yuan hear him actually say such shocking and dejecting words, I am afraid that he will immediately burst out and dismantle him on the spot! >
