Just a week has passed since the end of the year, and Qingyun Academy has returned to its former lively appearance, and almost all the students have returned to the academy, just because today is the day when the talented students participating in the Imperial Competition go to the imperial capital.

When Tang Ze and Tang Lin'er came to the square of Qingyun Academy, they found that many people had gathered here, and in the center of the square, the other eight participating students had all arrived, standing there waiting, their bodies were all wearing the resentment of Qingyun Academy, wearing a light cyan robe, and the word "Qingyun" was knitted on their left chest.

In the participating team, Tang Ze actually saw Liu Mingxuan, who should have lost his quota, and recalled a little, but a young student with the strength of the Nine Grades of the Gathering Spirit Realm who originally had the quota did not appear, but as for how Liu Mingxuan got this quota, it had nothing to do with Tang Ze.

After Liu Mingxuan saw Tang Ze coming, he just glanced at it, and immediately concealed the panic in his heart, hurriedly looked away, and didn't dare to look at Tang Ze again, which made Tang Ze can't help but chuckle, and stood in the team with Tang Lin'er, killing the somewhat boring waiting time through small talk.

didn't wait long, the two figures walked towards the square, and walking in front was a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old, with a majestic face, and a meteor under his feet, and the woman behind him, Tang Ze, naturally knew that it was Mentor Ruolan.

"The one who walked in front was Cang Wuling, the dean of our Qingyun Academy, I heard that he was only forty-five years old now, but his strength had already reached the astonishing height of the third grade of the Soul Refining Realm. Tang Lin'er whispered in Tang Ze's ear.

While Tang Ze bowed slightly, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, the faculty of this Qingyun Academy didn't seem to be weak, the dean of the Spirit Refining Realm and the mentor of the Imperial Spirit Realm could be compared to the Wangcheng Academy of an intermediate royal city, but now Qingyun Royal City was only a low-level royal city.

Just as Tang Ze was thinking, Cang Wuling and Tutor Ruolan had already come to the square, standing in front of the ten participating students, Cang Wuling's expression was solemn, and his majestic gaze swept back and forth on them, without saying a word, only two words with great strength.

"Let's go!"

...............

Above the Cangyun Gray Eagle, Mentor Ruolan stayed with the ten participating students, popularizing the relevant information about the Xinglan Imperial Capital and the Imperial Competition for them.

According to what Mentor Ruolan said, it would take two full days to set off from Qingyun Academy to the imperial capital, even at the speed of the Cangyun Gray Eagle, and although this imperial competition was held by the Xinglan Imperial Capital, it was not held in the Xinglan Imperial Capital, but within the sect of the Tianwu Sect, and it was carried out from the imperial capital

The Tianwu Sect also needed some time, which was why they had to go to the imperial capital a week earlier.

"There are a total of twenty royal cities in the Xinglan Empire, of which there are three high-level royal cities, seven intermediate-level royal cities, and ten low-level royal cities, and our Qingyun Royal City is one of the ten low-level royal cities, the Imperial Competition is held every four years, and the final ranking of each royal city academy in each session also determines the level of the corresponding royal city, and the different royal city levels, in addition to symbolizing a sense of honor, the cultivation resources allocated by the Xinglan Imperial Capital are also different, the higher the ranking of the royal city academy, the more resources are naturally allocated. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Mentor Ruolan continued: " In each Imperial Competition, there are ten places for each royal city, that is, a total of 200 people will participate in the Imperial Competition, and the rules of each Imperial Competition are the same, divided into two rounds, the first round is an individual knockout round, in this round, all the two hundred students of the Royal City Academy are randomly drawn to fight, and the loser is eliminated immediately, that is to say, half of the people will be eliminated in this first round, and these people will also be directly disqualified from participating in the second round of the competition. ”

Hearing Tutor Ruolan's words, Tang Ze couldn't help but sigh, this kind of competition system is really a bit cruel, in this way, the strength of the students and even the luck of the draw will affect the final results of the academy, if a low-level Wang Cheng in the first round of individual elimination, meet a few more senior Wang Cheng students, wouldn't it be at a disadvantage in the second round of the competition, and even if it is extremely unlucky, it is not impossible to eliminate all the students in the first round of individual elimination.

Tang Ze thought in his heart, only to hear Tutor Ruolan continue: "In the second round of the competition, it is the Wangcheng Qualifying Competition, and the remaining students of each Wangcheng Academy will represent their respective Wangcheng and decide the ranking of their respective Wangcheng, the top three will become the new high-level Wangcheng, the fourth to tenth will become the intermediate Wangcheng, and the eleventh to twentieth place will become the low-level Wangcheng. ”

"And we, Qingyun Wangcheng, have been ranked first from the bottom in five consecutive Imperial Competitions, and in the last Imperial Competition, all the students of our Qingyun Academy were eliminated in the first round of individual elimination, and they didn't even enter the second round of the Wangcheng Qualifying Competition. ”

Speaking of this, a look of regret also appeared on Tutor Ruolan's face, and there was also a sense of loss in her words, but she quickly suppressed such emotions, looked at Tang Ze and the others and said: "But this time, with you real geniuses here, I firmly believe that our Qingyun Academy will definitely wash away the previous shame, win an excellent result, and let those people take a good look, our Qingyun Academy is not so unbearable!"

"Tutor Ruolan, rest assured, we will definitely go all out!

.........

After Tutor Ruolan left, these participating students all talked about the Imperial Competition, after all, they stood out from so many academies and went to participate in the Imperial Competition on behalf of Wang Cheng, and these teenagers with an average age of only ten ** years old were very excited in their hearts.

But now Tang Lin'er is a little unaccustomed to such a noisy environment, pulling Tang Ze to the outside of the house, looking at the blue sky that seems to be close at hand, and the white clouds that are rapidly retreating, Tang Lin'er can't help but want to open her arms, the water-blue spiritual power under her feet is surging faintly, and the whole person stands steadily, letting the rushing spring breeze blow on her body, closing her eyes and feeling the feeling of flying.

"I wish I could soar in this sky one day, how free it would be. ”

Tang Ze looked at the shadow in front of him, the pale cyan Qingyun courtyard uniform fluttered in the wind, rustling, Tang Lin'er is now less than eighteen years old, it is just that the feeling of greenness has just faded, and she has become a young girl in the flower season, her beautiful face is facing the rising sun in the sky, her beautiful eyes are slightly closed, there is a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and a green silk is flying behind her, like a blooming lily.

A faint fragrant breeze drifted into his nose, looking at the girl's beautiful side face, Tang Ze actually had a wonderful feeling of wanting to step forward and take the girl into his arms, hesitated for a long time, he finally threw this idea out of his mind, stepped forward, stood side by side with Tang Lin'er, facing the morning sun in front of him, his thoughts were flying, and he muttered in a low voice: "Xuanling Realm, it won't be too far." ”

The wind whistled in his ears, looking down at the bird's eye, the vast earth was already blurred, extending to the end of the intersection of heaven and earth, the gray eagle of the clouds let out a loud chirp, the huge wings stopped flapping, began to glide against the wind, and flew forward at a gallop......

Two days later, the Cangyun Gray Eagle slowly lowered its height, and the outline of a magnificent huge city also appeared in everyone's field of vision, even if there was still a distance of dozens of miles, but the grandeur of the Xinglan Imperial Capital, overlooking it, still brought a lot of shock to everyone.

Cangyun Gray Eagle landed at a post station more than ten miles away from the Xinglan Imperial Capital, Ruolan Mentor explained: "The Xinglan Emperor has a strict ban on the air, so we must land here, you must remember that the Xinglan Emperor is not as good as our Qingyun King City, after entering the city, pay attention to it, we are just here to participate in the Imperial Competition, don't offend people who shouldn't be offended, otherwise no one will be able to save you." ”

"Understood. ”

All the participating students responded in unison, and then under the leadership of Cang Wuling, a group of twelve people walked in the direction of the Xinglan Imperial Capital.
