The three major organizations in the Blackstone Settlement are three-legged, and it can be said that most of the time they are safe and sound.

The ability to maintain such a stable and peaceful situation is largely due to the existence of the three Pillar Swordsmiths.

Qi Shi, Gao Mingliang and Peng Xianxi, the president of the Knife Casting Guild, the three of them are the only three sword casters in the Blackstone Settlement who have fully awakened the soul knife, and the difference in strength seems to be that no one is sure to suppress the other two, and they are afraid of each other, so the stable situation has continued to this day.

In this case, if Qi Shi and Gao Mingliang knew that Peng Xianxi had suffered a serious injury that was difficult to heal, they might have a different mind.

The Swordsmith Guild, which has lost the protection of the human pillar swordsmith's force, is undoubtedly a piece of oily fat in the eyes of others, and the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce are bound to pounce on it and take a bite, and it is not impossible to even join forces to swallow it whole.

In any case, Peng Xianxi's failure to appear in the Insect Tide Defense Battle must have aroused the suspicions of the Autonomous Council and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce, and the next two organizations will inevitably start to investigate and probe, depending on how long the Swordsmith Guild can conceal it.

In the blink of an eye of thought, Lin Ze had roughly guessed the next development of things, but he was not as worried as Su Rin, but was a little happy.

The more difficult the Bladesmith's Guild faces, the smoother it will be when he proposes a deal in the future.

"The cultivation of the healing system of spiritual art is also on the agenda!" Lin Ze said secretly in his heart.

While the swordsmiths were busy collecting worm cores, Lin Ze said hello to Su Rin and went straight back to the guild's underground cultivation room, quit the game, and entered the royal court world instead.

There were still twenty days before the start of the academy competition, and Lin Ze had currently mastered a total of four spiritual arts, namely Soldier Armor, Blue Thorn, Ten Thousand Blades, Imitation Yuan, and Spirit Ring.

Among them, the Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Technique can already condense twelve weapons, which is a slight achievement.

The spirit ring has not yet been fully mastered, and the fusion with soul energy is also being explored, but if nothing else, it should be able to successfully cultivate before the academy competition.

"There are still twenty days, which is enough for me to fully master and improve the spirit ring spirit technique, and then when the academy competition is over, I can start cultivating the healing spirit technique. ”

With a plan in his heart, Lin Ze restrained his distracting thoughts and continued to cultivate the Spirit Ring Spirit Technique in the quiet room.

Time flies.

Twenty days passed quickly, and the college arrived as scheduled.

As soon as he stepped into the academy, Lin Ze felt the warm atmosphere in the air.

Looking around, there were many more students coming and going than usual, with excitement on their faces, or worried expressions, or solemn expressions, and so on.

Because there is no fixed class time, students do not need to come to the academy every day, so it is difficult to see such a crowded scene on weekdays as today.

The venue for the tournament was set in an open square, with four large separate rings in the center, and a large number of seats were already placed around the rings.

As soon as Lin Ze stepped into the square, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, turned his head to look, and not far away, Chen Mu was really happy to wave his arms to him.

"There are so many people today!"

When Lin Ze approached, Chen Muzhen pulled him to sit down on the chair, and then whispered excitedly, "The dean, the two vice deans and the teachers are here, as well as the palace affairs officials, and the nobles have also come a lot!"

"Of course, after all, it's an annual big competition. Lin Ze followed Chen Muzhen's gaze, and his gaze fell on the seat that came out of the special circle on the opposite side of the ring.

It was a seat reserved for the deans of the Academy, the teachers, the palace officials, and the nobles.

And sitting in the center of the first row is Su Xi, the dean of the Spiritual Art Mao Academy.

Su Xi is sixty-three years old, but he looks about the same as forty years old, with strong spirits, long hair, and a kind of fairy temperament.

According to the information collected by Lin Ze during this time, Su Xi was one of the only two seventh-order great spiritual magicians in the royal court, except for the chief of the palace spiritualists who lived in the palace all the year round and guarded the spirit king's side every inch, he was the strongest and most famous, as if he was one of the largest in the royal court world.

As if sensing Lin Ze's gaze, Su Xi suddenly turned his head, met Lin Ze's gaze, paused, smiled and bowed his head to him gently.

Lin Ze bowed his head back, then looked away and looked at the others.

Sitting on either side of Su Xi were the two vice presidents of the academy, Zhu Zhongqun and Xiao Shengrui, both of whom were sixth-order great spiritual magicians, and their status in the academy was second only to Su Xi.

As for the palace affairs officials and other nobles, Lin Ze observed carefully for a while, and after finding that there were no important people, he quickly lost interest, retracted his gaze, and chatted with Chen Muzhen next to him in a low voice.

Those who dare to sign up are either confident in their own strength and want to show their talents, or they come with the mentality of experience and want to hone themselves by fighting with the strong.

Because Chen Muzhen majored in healing spirituality, his combat effectiveness was not high, so he did not sign up for the academy competition, and his mentality was very relaxed.

"I went to the bulletin board just now, you are A twenty-three, and the opponent of the first game is in order, so it is A twenty-four, I have inquired, the students of A twenty-four are only one level, and they are definitely not your opponent!" Chen Muzhen obviously did his homework, and had already investigated the strength and intelligence of Lin Ze's opponent in advance, holding a booklet full of dense small characters, and analyzed it with a serious expression, " The players were divided into four groups, A, B, C, D, and the first six duels were all played in the same group until the winner of the group was decided, and then the inter-group duel was held!"

"Sister Tang Zhen doesn't participate in the big competition, so Cheng Yue, Wang Xian, Qu Jianwen and Cui Jianping, the four students who are expected to win the championship, are divided into four groups, of which Group A is Wang Xian, he is the opponent you need to pay attention to the most!"

Chen Muzhen and Lin Ze spent a lot of time together, and naturally looked at the latter's progress during this time, knowing that it only took him less than four months to master multiple spiritual arts, and his own spiritual power had also reached the second-order cultivation, and most of the ordinary first- and second-order students were not his opponents, and there was only one strong opponent in the same group, and that was Wang Xian!

As long as Wang Xian is defeated, qualifying from the group is almost a certainty!

Thinking of this, Chen Muzhen couldn't help but show a solemn look on her face, her eyes patrolled through the crowd, and she quickly locked on Wang Xian's figure, staring at him intently, as if she was going to use her eyes to solve the biggest opponent for Lin Ze first.

Seeing the girl's demeanor in his eyes, Lin Ze's heart was slightly warm, but he also smiled a little dumbly.

Chen Muzhen regarded Wang Xian as his fierce rival, but for him, it was far from it.

After thinking about it, he casually called out the personal panel.

Human male, 20 years old

Rank: Elite

Credits: 402

Physical fitness: 25

Basic Fighting 4

Reiki 3

Red Lotus can be liberated, awakening 1308

Knife Technique 4

Reiki 3

As Lin Ze expected, before the arrival of the academy competition, his aura skill had successfully broken through to 3, and both the total amount of aura and the quality had been greatly improved.

Even in terms of aura and ordinary spiritual arts, he is now a leader among third-order spiritual magicians, and there is also the existence of red lotus.

On the other hand, after successfully mastering the Spirit Ring Spirit, Lin Ze also got a hint of the achievement of the Spirit Master and was rewarded with 5 points.

Apparently another achievement series!

This pleasantly surprised him.

"It seems that my previous guess was correct, and mastering spiritual magic really has a related achievement series. ”

This is the only way to get points in the Royal Court World.

"Silence!"

While he was pondering, a loud voice suddenly sounded over the square, which instantly spread throughout the square, suppressing all the sounds of conversation at once.

Everyone followed the prestige and found that it was a teacher with high seniority in the academy who spoke up, and quickly quieted down and showed a listening look.

Seeing this, the teacher nodded slightly and began to explain the rules of the game.

The first half is similar to what Chen Muzhen told Lin Ze, and the second half is about the progress of the game, the duel of the four groups of A, B, C and D is carried out at the same time, which are located in different four rings, and they take turns to play according to the numbered ones in the row.

The rules were very simple, no one in the room raised objections, and soon, Dabi officially began.

Lin Ze and Chen Muzhen's position is exactly in front of the first group ring, and you can clearly see the situation in the ring.

The first one went up with two male trainees with somewhat unfamiliar faces.

After coming to the royal court world, Lin Ze had not seen the battle between the spirits of the Eight Classics, although the melee in the cultivation hall was enjoyable, but because it was too chaotic, he actually couldn't see anything at all, so after all, the academy in front of him was really the first time to see the spirits fighting.

The teacher is the referee of the game, and is also responsible for supervising and preventing accidents.

With the referee's order, the game officially began.

In an instant, a halo of light appeared in front of the two students, and a thick steel round shield appeared in the void at the same time, and then the two of them raised their arms in unison, aiming their palms at each other.

The halo reappeared, and one of them quickly condensed a basketball-sized cyan bullet of light in front of his palm, and the other condensed three sharp arrows that looked like substances.

Blue Bullet, and Spirit Arrow!

Both types of spiritual arts are low-level spiritual arts, and only low-level spiritual magicians whose spiritual power level is low enough to support the consumption of high-level spiritual magic will use them as regular spiritual arts.

Obviously, the two students on the field should only have first-order strength, and they don't have much spiritual art, and the next battle quickly evolved into a situation of on-the-spot confrontation, and the two continued to use green bullets and spirit arrows to bombard each other back and forth, until one of the shields could not support it and was shattered, and it was too late to recondense, and they were hit by the opponent's spiritual arts, thus declaring defeat.

The uniforms worn by the students were specially made, which had a certain defensive effect on spiritual arts, so even if the defeated student was hit head-on by the blue bullet, he was not too injured, but his face was slightly pale, and he turned around and left the ring with a depressed expression.
