The martial arts arena of the Martial Arts Academy is located in the center of the academy, and there are forty-nine huge circular rings, each with a diameter of more than forty zhang.

There is a circle of seats around every seven rings, like a gladiatorial arena for wild beasts.

Therefore, seven martial arts venues were arranged this time, and their numbers were A, B, C, D, E, G, and the ring numbers of each venue were arranged from one to seven.

Qin Zhan's first match was scheduled for C4, that is, the No. 4 ring of Venue C, and the time was on the morning of the second day.

However, Huang Puyan and Zhang Tieniu in Qin Zhan's dormitory had a competition today, so Qin Zhan and they also came over together to cheer for the two.

Zhang Tieniu competed a little earlier, and he will participate in the competition this morning, and his competition venue is Ding Liu. Therefore, Qin Zhan, Beitang Yu'er and Huangpu Yan went to the Dingliu Stadium early to find a nearby audience seat and sit down, waiting to watch Zhang Tieniu's competition.

The surface of each ring was covered with a thick layer of steel plates, after all, the cultivation of many disciples had reached the realm of refining the body more than threefold, and the strength of individual attacks could even reach the strength of a hundred brute bulls colliding and superimposing.

Under this kind of strength, it was already difficult for ordinary bluestone slab rings to withstand the attacks of these disciples, so the academy directly designed each ring to lay steel plates.

It is said that a formation was set up in each ring, and the reason was that some disciples were too powerful, and in order to prevent their attacks from accidentally injuring others in the audience, the academy elders blessed each ring with a protective barrier.

As long as the attack strength does not exceed the ten levels of refinement, any attack will be blocked by the protective barrier.

After a while, the seats on the viewing platform of the venue were full of disciples. There are about 3,000 seats in one venue, and since the disciple entrance test is a grand event in the Martial Spirit Academy, almost all the outer disciples will come to watch, even including some outer disciples in small classes and large classes. The study period for junior disciples is three years, and the second and third year disciples are called junior and senior disciples respectively.

And to maintain the order of disciple competitions, it is generally the tutors of the small classes and large classes of the outer doors. Newly admitted junior students are not assigned a tutor, while small and large classes are equipped with instructors to teach junior students in their second and third years of study.

The vast majority of these mentors' cultivation is mostly in the early and middle stages of the Tian Yuan Mirror, and a very few of them are in the late stage of the Tian Yuan Mirror.

Every year, the best 300 disciples are selected from among the junior disciples, which can be regarded as a thorough investigation of the academy, and for the disciples with a particularly good foundation, the tutor will also privately reach the selection in advance.

In the second year, the outer disciples will be divided into classes, and each class usually has twenty to thirty disciples. And the Martial Spirit Academy didn't have so many mentors, and the remaining disciples who had not been assigned mentors had to continue to practice alone.

Therefore, the purpose of the disciple entrance examination is to let these tutors supervise and judge, so that they can check the talents and future potential of these disciples in advance. Because at the end of the year, not only the mentor chooses the disciple, but the disciple also chooses the mentor, and both parties must reach an agreement. At that time, in the face of talented disciples, the teachers will also do their best to let them choose themselves.

In addition, in future grade competitions, the college will reward classes and tutors according to the overall ranking of each class and the ranking of outstanding students.

It is said that the reward for this first place is a Broken Yuan Dan, which can help the Tianyuan Mirror master successfully break through to the Xiao Yuan Dan realm within thirty years.

Therefore, every tutor attaches great importance to the selection of disciples, and also pays special attention to the teaching of disciples, after all, the achievements of disciples are closely related to their vital interests.

"Have you heard, there are eight people who have the most potential to win the championship in this introductory exam, and they have all reached the fivefold realm of body refining. This does not include the Ninth Princess Huangpu Yu, because she has already been accepted as a closed disciple by the dean, so Huangpu Yu will not participate in this competition this time."

"Oh, yes, so many, I've heard others say that only four people reached the fivefold realm of body refining when they first entered the Martial Spirit Academy last year, but I didn't expect that eight people reached the fivefold realm of body refining this year, not including the ninth princess."

In front of Qin Zhan's seat, there happened to be a few individuals discussing the favorites to win the championship in this martial arts competition, and Qin Zhan and the others couldn't help but quietly prick up their ears and eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Yes, the strength of these eight is real, everyone can see it, they are currently known as the Eight Little Kings of the Outer Gate, they are Huyan Batian of Huyan Shijia of Hedong County, Gongsun Lang of Gongsun of Yongan County, Beitang Family of Anyi County Beitang Family Beitang Zitong, Linghu Family of Manghuang County Linghu Zhengxi, Beiyan Family of Beiqu County Beiyan Family Beiyanhai, and Shangguan Feiyan of Barbarian County. There is another person, no one knows his origins, he is the young man with brigadier level talent."

These eight people are currently the most powerful favorites to win the championship. Qin Zhan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that there was a Northern Tang Zitong among these people, he didn't expect that the little girl was so old and cultivated so high, and she had already reached the realm of refining the fifth level of the body.

Beitang Zitong's talent is estimated to be worse than that of the Ninth Princess Huangpu Yu. After being surprised in his heart, Qin Zhan touched Beitang Yu'er who was sitting next to him with his arm with an obscene expression, and the eyebrows on his face were raised.

Beitang Yu'er saw the obscene look on Qin Zhan's face, she knew what he was thinking, and she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, and a small hand reached out to Qin Zhan's waist and twisted it fiercely.

With this twist, Beitang Yu'er estimated that she had exhausted all her strength, and the pain was so painful that the corners of Qin Zhan's mouth only twitched cold air, and finally had to beg for mercy to be relieved.

"Wrong, the Eight Little Kings you said are indeed the favorites for the championship, but don't forget that there is another person who is also the biggest favorite this time."

"Oh, there are more powerful players than these eight, who is this person and where does it come from."

"He's the prince of the day."

Hearing that the man said that the biggest player turned out to be a prince, Qin Zhan and Beitang Yu'er couldn't help but look towards Huangpu Yan.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of Qin Zhan and the others, Huang Puyan made an expression that had nothing to do with me.

Then the man continued: "He is the younger brother of the current Seventh Prince, Huangpu Xin, the eldest prince's mother."

Hearing the name Huangpu Xin, Huangpu Yan's hand unconsciously clenched into a fist and clenched it fiercely.

Among all the princes, Huangpu Yan and Huangpu Xin are only half a year apart, and they can be said to be the oldest among the princes.

Among the many princes and princesses, most of them have already established crowns, only the seventh prince Huangpu Xin, the eighth prince Huangpu Yan and the ninth princess Huangpu Yu are still young, so the intersection of the three of them is the most.

And the character of this Huangpu Xin and his mother's compatriot Huangpu Batian can be said to be completely opposite, the eldest prince Huangpu Batian advocates force, has an upright personality, has one saying and two saying two, and likes it or not is completely displayed on his face.

This Huangpu Xin is a lot of city government, others may not know, they all think that Huangpu Xin is a sensible and obedient good prince. And Huang Puyan knows very well that his brother has not given him a black pot back.

Every time Huangpu Yan was reprimanded by his father, almost all of them had a share of Huangpu Xin's credit, there was no major fault, but after Huangpu Xin's intercession, his father would be furious, so Huang Puyan hated his brother very much.
