The heavenly city at night, as his previous flow of people, the lights are bright and prosperous, it can really be said that it is the most respectful place in the world, the heavenly city has four squares divided into four directions, it is said that there are all the stone statues of the founding emperor about 100 zhang high, there is a saying in the heavenly city, come to the imperial capital of the heavenly city, do not go to the square to worship the stone statue is a vain.

The students of the Yuncheng Academy went to the South Square of Tiancheng together, and Lu Fan refused to go with the soldiers on the grounds that he was not feeling well, and in Lu Fan's heart, he felt that it was just a statue, what could be good-looking, at most it was tall.

Lu Fan stayed alone in the Guandu Inn prepared by the empire for the major academies, walking alone in the back garden of the inn, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his fingers unconsciously tapped rhythmically on the stone railing next to the road, and its rhythm was the moonlight song.

··· ···

It has been three days since I came to the imperial capital Heavenly City in a blink of an eye, and the major colleges and universities of the empire have almost arrived, and they all live in the outer city of the heavenly city, but the entire heavenly city is too big, half a state is big, and it is said that the boundless territory of the empire is only forty-nine states, so I can't see the elite students of the other eight academies.

In the evening, the major colleges received a letter order from the Taixue Academy, and the major colleges and Zhongtian City gathered to prepare for the big competition the next day.

Zhongtian City is the closest city to the palace among the five inner cities, and it is also the city where the palace guards live the most.

In the Star Hall in the palace, a young man in a dragon robe looked at the group of people sitting below, frowned and said, "What is the important matter for the major sects to come to the emperor this time?"

The middle-aged man in a Taoist robe at the head said: "I want to come to watch the Imperial Competition, to see if there are any people who are destined for us to introduce the sect to practice."

Everyone behind him nodded their heads in agreement.

Although he knew the intentions of these people, Chongzuo still found it difficult to accept it, and got up angrily and said: "Then it depends on whether you have a fate!"

Turned around and left the Star Palace, in the apse of the Star Palace, Chongzuo's eyes were full of killing intent, and his voice was low like an angry lion.

At this time, a person walked out of the darkness, stood beside Chongzuo for a while, and then said slowly: "These people from the big sects are looking for talented people among the young people of my empire every year to be accepted as disciples, and every year there are many outstanding people from major academies who go to the mountain gate to apprentice, so that my empire has lost many generals and talents, and now they are staring at these people in the imperial capital Dabi are really hateful."

The man in black suddenly stopped talking and said: "However, now the empire is in a special period, it is not suitable to have internal friction with the internal sects, the surrounding major empires are eyeing each other, and they want to tear off a piece of meat from the empire at any time, and please ask Your Majesty three or four"

In fact, what Chongzuo is most angry about is not these, but when the empire is in trouble, those sects always shirk for various reasons and cannot intervene in the battles of the mortal world, and when it comes to snatching talents, they are brazen.

"Spread my spoken words, and order the shogunate to raise the rewards for those who are willing to serve the empire after the competition" Chongzuo gritted his teeth, and scolded the major sects such as Fanyin Temple, Qingyin Valley, and Tianshan Sect in his heart.

"Yes" The shadow disappeared into the darkness, as if it had never existed.

··· ···

On the martial arts field of Zhongtian City School, the nine major colleges of the major colleges are divided into nine places, and there are also some leaders of other idle small colleges among them.

General Jin Wei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, accompanied the prime minister to the school field, and then there were many princes and nobles, many of whom were children of the royal family, who sat on the stands.

These days, the school grounds are open to the public, and civilians can enter to watch, but the number of people seems to be limited, only 1,000 people are allowed to enter, and when it is full, they are not allowed to enter.

Prime Minister Gu Lan was on the high platform, and said irrelevant words to the people below for a long time before he said: "··· The competition is divided into two aspects, one is the individual competition, and the other is the team collaborative competition...

Finally, after finishing speaking, Gulan walked down the high platform and returned to the viewing seat.

The drums sounded, and another person came to the stage to explain the rules of the game again, and the competition officially began

There was a woman in a green dress in the viewing seat, his eyes searched back and forth under the stage, and suddenly his eyes saw the familiar figure in the audience, and he immediately couldn't sit still, and secretly left the viewing platform and came to the audience, and his father only cared about greeting people but didn't notice that his daughter was no longer around.

The rules of this competition are that there are first those of the acquired realm who compete together, and then challenge the innate realm, and this time there are only five people in the innate realm.

In previous years, in the Nine Great Academies of the Empire, there were at least one, at most two, or even three young students from each academy, but this year, there were only five in total!

And there are two in the Royal Academy, Chongming and Bupo!

And the other two are Qiyu from Ruoshui Academy and Yunqi from Chenyue Academy.

There is also Lu Fan of Cloud City Academy, a total of five innate realms.

Except for the five innate students, the remaining nine college students are numbered in turn, and the number of students from ordinary colleges and universities is as high as thousands, but many students come here just to have a long insight.

After all, the students of ordinary colleges and universities have worse qualifications, and the resources of their colleges are also much worse, and the career exams they take will only start after half a year.

After a while, Zhan Jun and Hua Kun also drew their opponents separately to prepare for the competition.

At this moment, a crisp voice came from behind Lu Fan, "Xiao Fan"

Lu Fan turned his head and saw Yu Yu in a green water skirt standing behind him, he was taken aback at first, and then said in surprise: "Why are you here, aren't you in Yongzhou?"

"Why can't I be here, don't you want to see me??" Yu Yu said with a pout.

Lu Fan hurriedly changed his words and said: "I'm just surprised, it's too late for me to be happy to see you here."

Yu Yu immediately changed his smile, "I came to the emperor this time with my father, and I watched your Dabi."

Yu Yu saw that everyone else was going to compete, and Lu Fan was still standing here, not only urging: "Why are you still stunned there, hurry up and find the location of your competition?"

Hearing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but be stunned, and then told Yu Yu with a smile that he was the only student of the innate realm in Yuncheng Academy this year.

When Yu Yu heard this, the whole person was stunned, and his brain almost stopped working, and he couldn't believe what he heard, but there was a burst of cheers immediately.

Lu Fan pulled Yu Yu and said with a smile as he walked: "Let's go, go and watch the competition between Hua Kun and the boss."

"Hmm" Yu Yu also happily walked over and grabbed Lu Fan's arm, Lu Fan was stunned, such a move was rare in the past, only when Han Bing was with him during that time in the valley.

The two of them have been walking in front, but Yu Yu has not noticed that a wolf with leopard spots has been following behind, maybe he saw it, but he just thought it was someone else's pet beast.

But the feathered wolf kept following, and from time to time looked at the woman who was intimate with his 'mother', and tilted his head from time to time to really think about something.

When the two of them went to the ring of the war army competition, they happened to catch up with the war army, a violent maniac, and smashed a person from Whampoa Academy into a coma under the stage, which attracted a burst of applause from the audience, and the war army was simply invincible in the same world.

After the battle army waited to announce his victory, he saw the jade feather beside Lu Fan when he greeted the audience, and showed a smirk.

The three of them quickly came to Hua Kun's ring, and saw that Hua Kun was still fighting hard, and the war army said: "The matter of fighting against me is the general acquired mid-stage realm of Huangpu, and Hua Kun's opponent should be in the same realm as Hua Kun, this is a comparison."

Yu Yu grabbed Lu Fan's arm tightly on the side, and kept chanting: "Hua Kun... Run faster, dodge, it's too stupid"

The two couldn't help but look at each other and smile when they heard it, they still had that temper.
