Dean Diru slowly retracted his thoughts.

"That's right, let's get down to business. I called you here this time because the quadrennial contest is about to begin. Contains the entire Ionian continent of academies, dojos, sects, etc. All are available. It aims to provide a platform for all martial arts practitioners in Ionia to exchange ideas and learn about themselves. And the venue of the competition is in our Nanwu Academy. Dean Diru looked at the three of them and said with a smile.

"There are individual and group competitions. And we, Nambu School Academy, as the organizer over the years, of course, also have to provide a team. The team consists of three to five people. I'd like to ask, the three of you. Any thoughts? Dean Diru asked with a smile in his eyes.

"I'm a member of the academy myself. It's my duty to bring glory to the College. Irelia didn't think about it.

"I'm looking forward to the strong people of the younger generation of Ionia as a whole." The corners of Yi's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes lit up.

Dean Diru laughed, "So, young explorer. I don't know if you're interested. ”

"You think too highly of me, Dean Diru." A humble and shy smile appeared on Ize's face, "Actually, my current strength is damaged, and I am not as good as Irelia and Yi. I don't know if this represents Nanwu Academy is a bit reluctant. ”

Izawa excused.

Dean Diru laughed, "That's not the point. Moreover, the rewards for the champion team in this competition are very generous. ”

Then Irelia and Yi looked at Ize together, and Dean Diru was still smiling and looking at Ize expectantly. Just being stared at like this, it's hard to refuse the other person.

Izawa smiled helplessly: "Okay then." ”

Dean Diru's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile: "The date of the competition is set for three days later, and now the Ionian team is on their way to our Nanwu Academy. For specific related matters, I will arrange for Huo Lu to explain to you in detail. ”

After speaking, Teacher Diru got up and stood up, "Let's just say this, you go back and rest." ”

"Okay, Dean Diru."

"Don't let me down, boys. Hahaha," Dean Diru said with a hearty smile.

The group then left Dean Diru's office.

"Hey, Ize. Your trip is going to be delayed for a few more days. Yi tilted his head and looked at Ize.

"Yes." Izawa lowered his head and replied lightly.

In the afternoon, the academy classroom said, "Teacher Huolu, how are you recovering?" Irelia asked with a look of concern.

Horu shook his arm, clenched his fists hard, and his muscles bulged. Touching his bald head, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's no big deal." It's really infuriating to say that I was actually attacked. was also slipped away by those little cubs. If I hadn't been attacked, I'd have beaten them @#%%#¥#¥. Teacher Huo Lu beat his chest and swore that he would not be a man if he did not take revenge.

"Yes, yes." Izawa: They hurriedly chimed in.

Teacher Huo Lu scolded for nearly half an hour, and finally remembered the purpose of his visit.

"Ahem." Teacher Horu cleared his throat.

"I'm here to tell you that there are rules and precautions for the game. First of all, the individual competition adopts a knockout round, and the specific groups will be based on the number of people. Because the number of people is too large, a one-round win-loss system is adopted. Do you have any individual competitions? Teacher Horu pursed his lips and stared at the three of them.

"Me! I! Yi looked excited.

"I won't participate in the individual competition, let's leave the quota for the rest of the academy." Irelia thought for a moment and said.

"I'm not interested, anyway, I'm just here to make up the numbers." Izawa leaned back in his chair like a fish and said lazily.

Teacher Huo Lu nodded: "Yes." This depends on your personal intentions. There are no requirements from the college. Then Mr. Huo Lu looked solemn and said, "Next, it is the group stage to represent the college. Because there are only a few major colleges and denominations participating in the group stage. Therefore, according to the regulations of previous years, the group stage is a ring match. ”

"Ring match?" The three of them sighed softly.

"Yes. Unfortunately, our Nanwu Academy is the organizer of this year, and the team of the academy is the team of guards. In other words, you will have to take on all of Ionia's squad challenges in the form of a team. Teacher Huo Lu said slowly.

Irelia listened carefully, silent.

"I don't know what kind of powerful guys will be there this time." Yi Yi's longing.

"It's a nuisance." Izawa shifted and leaned back in his chair like a dead fish.

"The game is three days later, and the individual stage is followed by the group stage." Teacher Horu ignored Ize and continued. "Well, that's the way it is. In view of your outstanding individual abilities, I am sure that you will defend the honor of the Academy. Teacher Huo Lu's face was righteous.

"Yes, I will definitely win glory for the academy." Ize cooperated with Irelia and Yi lazily raised his arms to cooperate.

After Teacher Horu left.

"Hahaha, I'm really looking forward to it. Hey, Izawa, you seem to be in vain. Yi looked excitedly at Izawa, who fell on the chair as if he would turn into water in the next second.

Izawa made an effort to straighten his body in the chair. The left hand slowly raised to block his forehead, "Excuse me, can you pull the curtain tighter, I'm a little dazzling... "The penultimate day of the race.

"Hey, Izawa, we're going to discuss tactics and practice coordination today." Yi dragged up Ize, who was still lying on the bed and asleep.

Academy martial arts training grounds.

This is the largest and most well-equipped martial arts training ground in the entire academy. In every corner of the martial arts training ground, you can see immature figures, waving weapons in their hands and shouting loud slogans. Sweating like rain on the road to the strong.

A corner of the martial arts training ground.

Yi looked at Ize, who was muttering all the way to the side, and frowned: "This guy." ”

Frowning back to frowning, Yi still turned around and dragged Izawa to the field.

"Hey, Ize. Although you're just here to make up the numbers, you might as well be serious. "Yi's hatred is not made of steel.

“。。。。” Izawa was unmoved.

Irelia glanced at Ize with a smile and shook her head slightly, "It's okay, let's discuss it together, Ize will have any suggestions or opinions to put forward." Right, Izawa. ”

“。。。。” Ize remained unmoved.

Yi shook his head vigorously, forget it, don't care about him.

"So let's get started. We don't know what kind of opponent we will face against, so we will discuss a common set of tactics. Yi said.

"No matter what kind of team or combination you face, the first wave of tentative attacks will be carried out by me." Yi continued.

"If the opposite side is an experienced team, the first wave of tentative attacks on the opposite side won't reveal much information to us. And now it's up to Irelia to be on my side and launch a second wave of attacks. Yi said calmly.

Irelia nodded, indicating no doubts.

Izawa moved, indicating that he was listening.

"The third wave of attacks is a head-to-head confrontation with everyone in the team. With my speed, combined with Irelia's strength and Ize's ranged arcane shoots, I hope to prioritize the focus of fire to take out one person and gain the upper hand. Except in exceptional circumstances. Yi looked serious.

Irelia thought for a moment and said, "No objections. ”

Yi looked at Izawa with a cannibalistic look, "An-la, An-la." Izawa made an "OK" gesture weakly.

"Good, then. Let's try it once for a walkthrough. Do you see the big rock in front of you, and assume that it is our opponent's opponent. Yi slowly drew his long sword.

"So, Alpha Raid!" I only hear his voice but I don't see his person. I could only see a streamer of lightning, which cut into the big stone in the distance of the martial arts training ground.

"Blade Impact!" Irelia backhanded the large sword on her back that blew towards the boulder.

Izawa walked slowly to the big rock and kicked it over.

"Boom, pop." The large stone cracked into several pieces in response.

In the distance, the teenagers who were practicing various martial arts stopped their movements, and looked straight at the big stone that had broken into several pieces here, all holding their breath and concentrating, without taking a breath. looked at Ize blankly: "That little yellow hair, so strong... ”

Izawa walked straight over the big rock, turned his back and waved his hand: "I'm going back to recuperate, come on, don't be lazy." ”

Turning a corner in the martial arts training ground, Izawa ran back to his room with a flying pace, passing by the teaching building and saying hello to Dilfia by the way.

Back in the house, Izawa opened his package and took out a notebook, which read: "Arrived on the island of Ionia on May 22, 12th year of the Lunar calendar. Stayed to this day. It is expected that there will be two weeks to reach the next destination, the port of Bilgewater. Explorer, Ezreal at Nanbu Academy on August 5th. "The penultimate day of the race.

Early in the morning, the college cafeteria.

"Ize, I know your tech gloves are broken. Hopefully it won't affect your performance in the game. As the game approached, Yi was obviously a little excited, waving the knife and fork in his hand.

"Do you think a single weapon can restrain a great explorer?" Izawa tore off a loaf of bread and filled it in his mouth.

"Yes, that makes sense." Yi took a sip of soup.

"By the way, what do you think about the championship reward that Dean Diru said that day?" Yi put down the bowl in his hand and looked up at everyone.

"I think it's best to have a cheatbook, "Flying Immortals Beyond the Sky"!" Defia's eyes are full of little stars.

"Weapons. A weapon that takes people's lives thousands of miles away. Cook interjected.

"Girl." Izawa took the egg that Dilfia had peeled and said lightly.

“。。。” Irelia.

"Get out." Easy.

After the meal, everyone returned to the academy classroom.

"I don't know what kind of powerful guys will be there this time." Irelia said as she wiped her broadsword.

Izawa nodded: "Hey, easy." Depending on how familiar you are with Ionia, who do you think they will be? I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy. ”

Yi Ye nodded slowly, "There are too many colleges, temples, and sects in Ionia. But there are only a few who are strong. As he spoke, Yi turned his head to look at Ize: "The Verus with a bow and arrow you met when you first stepped into Ionia is one of them. ”

"Oh, pseudo-silk. My little brother. Izawa nodded and motioned for Yi to continue.

"The Balanced Sect you encounter after that should not participate. That old sect rarely came out to operate. Yi continued.

"Well, it looks like they can't come to see me off." Izawa sighed.

"Also, when I was training in the northernmost academy of the island, I also met a guy who was evenly matched." Yi said slowly.

"I know, it's Li Qing from Beiyi Academy." Irelia continued.

Yi nodded slightly, "Yes." That guy's strength is on par with mine. ”

"Of course, Ionian Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are also many guys who are not famous but strong." Yi said with a sigh. Then he looked at the crowd, "So, no matter what the competition, I hope we will do our best." ”

After everyone finished discussing, they went back to their rooms to rest, ready for tomorrow's competition.

Nanbu Academy, easy room.

Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, with his long sword on his knees, and gently Mona.

After a long time, Yi Chang breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his head to look at Ize, who was sitting quietly in his chair without knowing what he was thinking.

"Hey, Ize. Is it really okay if your tech gloves aren't around? Yi looked worried.

"To say that there is no impact is false. Don't worry, I'll give it my all. Also, I always felt that this competition would not be so simple. Izawa frowned slightly.

"Of course it won't be easy. There are bound to be a few tricky guys on our par with us. Only hope that it will not be too boring. "Yi is a martial arts idiot, interested in constantly challenging more powerful people.

Izawa nodded thoughtfully, but didn't tell Yi that his worries weren't what he said.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the room, and Defia walked in wearing a sky-blue magic robe and shouted, "The academies and sects from all over Ionia have come to our academy one after another. Would you like to go and see it together? ”

"Okay," Yi said, getting up.

"Let's go, then." Izawa straightened his clothes.

When the group walked out of the house, the academy was already full of people. The endless noise is higher and higher. After all, it's a quadrennial, and everyone's enthusiasm is high.

Izawa and the others struggled to make their way through the crowd to the entrance of the academy.

"Hahaha, that's Teacher Horu." Yi pointed to the door and said.

I saw that Mr. Huo Lu was wearing clothes that only major festivals would wear to symbolize the identity of the college's teachers. The muscles and sturdy skeleton tormented the fragile gown, as if it was about to burst at any moment. Coupled with the bright head, it is funny and ridiculous, which makes people laugh coldly. Teacher Huo Lu is trying to maintain order at the entrance of the academy.

The eyes of the group were locked on the teams that came to the Nanwu Academy, and the voices of other students were constantly hearing in their ears.

"Hey, look at the tight line. You guess it's a man or a woman. ”

"I guess it's a man."

"Why?"

"Because that's my hometown. Leading the way was my brother. ”

“。。。 Excuse me. ”

Izawa: "Khan. . . ”

"Hey, look at that."

"Which one?"

"That's it."

"Hahahaha"

"It's the first time I've seen our college so crowded in the past few years."

The students of Nanwu Academy are very enthusiastic to welcome the team from afar, and occasionally a team of strange costumes or strange people can always cause a shout.

Suddenly, the noise became quieter. Just because of the team that showed up at the door.

"That's Li Qing from Beiyan Academy." The young student next to Ize said to his little friend.

"That is Li Qing from Beixi." Ize's gaze followed the direction the young academy was pointing.

Dressed in a coarse cloth short coat and shoulder-length hair casually combed behind his head, Li Qing, who appeared at the school gate, didn't care at all about the underestimation of the comments around him, and walked forward intently.

"Sure enough, it came." Yi said with a slight smile.

Li Qing didn't see Yi Ze and his party, and walked over without squinting.

Ize pulled out of the pile of people, squeezed his numb arm, rubbed it, and said, "Let's go, easy." Tomorrow is the individual competition. I'll leave the name of our squad to you. ”

Yi glanced at Li Qing, who was getting farther and farther away, and said lightly, "Okay." ”

The group slowly withdrew from the crowd. The rising sun casts a red glow on the Ionian Nanwu Academy. Today, it's the quadrennial individual competition!

Early in the morning, the academy changed its usual tranquility. There was a cacophony of noises, laughter, and neat shouts from all directions.

“1！ 2！ 3！ 4！ No matter where it is. Don't slack off on your daily training!" A bearded man with his own cadets is doing a morning jog.

"Yes!" The students replied loudly.

Izawa rubbed his sleepy eyes, pushed open the door and looked at the neat students, shaking his head. "I walked too fast yesterday, and I didn't see if my little brother came?"

"Hey, Izawa." Yi also pushed open the door and walked out.

Today's change is a brand new outfit. A pale yellow robe was draped over his body, without a button on his chest, and the long sword was tightly tied to his back, which looked very majestic.

"Go cheer me on in a minute, Izawa." Yi's face was full of spirit.

"I hope you don't get beaten too badly." Izawa waved his hand lazily.

"Hahaha. Then I'll go to the lottery first. ”

Today's individual competition is the largest martial arts training ground in Nanwu Academy. The huge martial arts training ground is divided into four areas, which are marked with "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow." This means that all the members who participate in the individual competition will be divided into four groups to compete at the same time, and each person will have their own number.

"Ize, Brother Yi let me tell you. He is in the Celestial Zone, and his number is 013. He asked you to go to the sky area early to take a good place and enjoy it quietly. Izawa thought back to what Dilfia had said.

The rows of onlookers around the martial arts training ground were already full of people. Izawa quietly found a place to sit down, and there was still some time before the game, Izawa took a straw hat to cover his face and took a nap.

"Knock knock!" Three brilliant magic fireworks are lit up in the sky, signaling the start of the game.

Dean Diru and several others sat on a high stone platform in the center of the arena.

After the salute, Dean Diru stood up and walked to the front of the stage and cleared his throat: "First of all, welcome to Nanwu Academy. ”

"Roar" There was warm applause from the audience.

Dean Diru waved his hand to signal silence, and then said, "Next, please welcome everyone, Master Karon, Honorary Dean of Beishi Academy!" ”

"Bang bang bang!" There was a round of applause from the audience.

"Master Kuluo, the Great Mentor of the Spiritual Academy."

"Bang bang bang."

"And, Ionian Foreign Minister Metoron."

Dean Diru nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "The three of us will be the judges for this competition. Finally, I would like to invite Chief Metoron to kick off the competition and deliver a speech. With that, he turned back to his seat.

Chief Metoron got up and walked to the front of the stage, smiling and waving his hand. Chief Metoron in front of him looked like a middle-aged man with curly brown hair. The bridge of the nose is high, and there is always a smile on the corner of the mouth, and the whole person seems very close.

Chief Metolon, who walked to the front of the stage, cleared his throat, "Welcome everyone to come to Nanwu Academy to participate in this competition. We Ionians are peaceful by nature, and the various sects and colleges get along well. The purpose of this event is to give every student in each faculty an opportunity to exchange and learn. Recognize your own shortcomings in order to work harder. ”

"Bang bang bang." The students in the audience were enthusiastic and applauded desperately.

"So, I declare. Let's start the competition! ”

And in the regional audience seat across the test venue from Izawa. Shrouded in a thick cloak, a few words of conversation came from several people whose faces could not be seen clearly.

"Why participate in such a boring competition."

"Don't worry, brother. It's just playing. "Next, please No. 7, Seka from the Turo Academy against No. 8 Suo Yi from the Nambu Academy. Players from both sides are invited to enter. ”

Ize watched the players on the field continue to enter the field with waves of players, lose, and exit, and there is no one he wants to see.

"I heard that Li Qing, who was assigned to the Xuan District, has already qualified, and he defeated Cass of the Wind Academy in just one move."

"No, Cass is also a famous young master."

"It's worthy of Li Qing."

Izawa pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation of the student next to him.

"Also, there is a pervert in the region. It is also a move to defeat the opponent. ”

"The seniors of this class are so strong."

"Next, I invite No. 13 Nanwu Academy Yi to play against Changfeng, the No. 14 player of Fengli Academy." The voice of the narrator rang out.

It's finally here, and Izawa is looking at the stage.

"You are Master Yi?" The man named Changfeng stared at Yi suspiciously.

"It's like a fake." Yi looked at his opponent with his sword on his back and his arms crossed.

"It's over, it's over. I'm going to do two out of three. I bumped into you as soon as I came up, how can I fight this? Changfeng drooped his head, looking depressed.

"You're going to throw in the towel?" Yi smiled slightly.

"It's not appropriate to throw in the towel either, the people I like are watching me from below. It's the girl in red. Changfeng pouted towards the left stand.

"Uhhh Yi pulled out his long sword and was ready to make a move.

Changfeng saw this posture and hurriedly waved his hand: "Wait! ”

"What's wrong again?" Yi looked impatient, "It's better than this." Let's pretend to fight a few times. And then you shout, what a strong opponent, it's time to use my special move. Let me lose a little more face. Changfeng looked ****.

"I refuse." Easy to a black line.

"What is easy to do, but not to solve the battle." Izawa looked at the two on the stage. At this time, the commentator's voice sounded again: "The two opponents are not like others who fight to the death." Rather, it is a good habit to greet each other politely, and it is also something we should advocate and learn. ”

“。。。” All.

"I'm going to go." Yi swung his long sword, and the light on the sword flowed.

"Hey! Wait.... Changfeng hurriedly dodged.

Changfeng's dodging with both hands and feet became more and more embarrassing.

At this time, Yi suddenly inserted his long sword back with his backhand and shouted to the stands on the left: "What a powerful opponent, it seems that I am going to use a special move." ”

"Shadowless Feet!" Yi Fei kicked Changfeng's ass.

"Bang." The long wind danced in response to the ground.

Spectators in the stands next to them can stuff a duck egg with their mouths open. Although from the very beginning, Yi has always used a sword. But since then, it has been rumored in Ionia that Master Yi's most powerful skill is not swordsmanship, but Master Yi's physical skills are the strongest.

"What a gui..." Izawa also had a black line on his face.

"Hey, thank you, Master Yi." Changfeng, who fell off the stage, shouted at Yi.

Yi waved his hand, leaving him with only a back.

After watching Yi's performance, the next group of contestants also appeared. Izawa got up and was about to go back to rest, but suddenly with ecstasy in his eyes, he rushed towards the area. Because he heard a sentence from the side before, "There are two strongmen in the area, and they have been fighting for almost half a day, and they haven't decided the winner yet." One carried a large bow on his back, and the other wore a thick black cloak and used a throwing axe. ”

"Pseudo-** silk, it's coming." A smile appeared on Izawa's face as he ran.
