Chapter 10 The Contest Begins
The competition of the Demon Spirit Academy is held every six months, and about 100 students participate in each time, so the competition usually lasts for four or five days.
And this will be the busiest few days of the Demon Spirit Academy.
The sun was rising, and the large cultivation ground next to the academy was already full of people.
After all, the academy competition is the largest event in the academy, and although many students will not participate, being able to witness the-for-tat scenes of many outstanding students is still of great help to their cultivation progress.
Even outside the courtyard, there will be many people who come to join in the fun, because they are also very happy to see the Demon Spirit Clan give birth to more talented clansmen.
Lu Ling and Lu Yan also came to the training ground where the competition was held early, and Lu Ling usually stayed at home, so he was a little uncomfortable for a while when he saw so many people.
In contrast, Lu Yan seemed much calmer, and he led Lu Ling to the gathering place of the participating students, and attracted the attention of many people on the way.
Most of these people's eyes were full of admiration and envy, and many girls were even nymphomaniac, staring intently at Lu Yan's figure.
Lu Ling, who was standing next to Lu Yan, couldn't help but roll his eyes, he somewhat understood why those boys envied Lu Yan, only this kind of handsome and strong person could become the object of the girls' longing.
When everyone looked at Lu Yan, they would always "accidentally" catch a glimpse of Lu Ling, so they would also set their eyes on him as usual.
But this time, everyone's reaction was only surprise.
Lu Ling actually came to participate in the academy competition?
Most of them had heard about Yuan Song and others provoking Lu Ling in the academy a few days ago, and Yuan Song even used the agitation method to provoke Lu Ling to participate in the competition, but many people just expressed contempt for Yuan Song's shameless behavior of bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and they didn't believe that Lu Ling would really dare to sign up.
However, the truth was unexpected, because Lu Ling was standing in front of them at this time, which was also the reason for their surprise.
Yuan Song, they now have the strength of the Yunqi Realm, does this guy really think that he can still ravage those people like before? I'm afraid that his head will be kicked by a donkey!
Lu Ling didn't care about other people's discussions, and after a while, two delicate jade hands patted on the shoulders of the two of them, only to see Ye Jingrou standing behind them, as slim as a jade lotus out of the water, with a gentle and sweet smile on her face, and a beige practice uniform wrapped her green and slender body tightly.
This girl was originally a very popular character in the academy, so when she appeared, there were more eyes gathered around Lu Yan and them.
"Brother Lu Ling also signed up?" Ye Jingrou immediately showed joy on her pretty face after seeing Lu Ling, others may think that Lu Ling is from begging for hardship, but she believes that this time in the competition, Lu Ling may surprise everyone.
Lu Ling nodded lightly, but he didn't communicate too much with her, Lu Yan and this girl hadn't seen each other for a few days, so he must have a lot to say, so he didn't come up to shine.
He was sighing at the fiery atmosphere around him when he noticed that the people around him suddenly let out an uproar.
Looking at the place where the voice came from, he saw Yuan Shan walking slowly with an expressionless face, and he also saw Yuan Song and those unnamed little followers, who were following behind Yuan Shan proudly, and after sensing Lu Ling's gaze, they all showed joy.
This is not a well-intentioned joy.
However, I have to say that Yuan Shan's popularity in the academy is really not low, after all, whether it is strength or appearance, there is almost no gap between him and Lu Yan, but compared with Lu Yan's sunshine and warmth, his personality is too arrogant and cold, and in short, his temper is too stinky, so Lu Ling has no good impression of him.
Lu Yan also sensed Yuan Shan's arrival, and there seemed to be an invisible spark between the four eyes, although the two did not communicate a word, but the battle intent in each other's eyes, even the people around them could see it clearly.
Lu Yan and Yuan Shan are the two strongest in the academy now, they will definitely have a peak showdown, and there are even many people who come to the scene just to watch this battle.
After all the students who participated in the competition arrived, several elders of the Demon Spirit Academy rose into the air, attracting everyone's attention.
These elders were dressed in gray robes, most of them were middle-aged, and the white-haired Huatong elders were also impressively listed.
There is no dean in the Demon Spirit Academy, and many of the usual affairs are handled by many elders, so in the past few days of the competition, they will all appear one by one.
The elders were suspended in mid-air, their temperament was extraordinary, and the strength of these elders could already use the elements of heaven and earth to control the sky, and because of this, those disciples who looked up all showed envious expressions.
After everyone quieted down, a middle-aged man in a black robe with a Chinese character face slowly floated out, he put his hands behind his back, glanced at the many students below, and said in a loud voice: "This student competition will start immediately, I believe I don't need to say more about the specific rules, as usual, the higher the final ranking, the richer the rewards you get." ”
Looking at everyone's gradually fiery gaze, he paused, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"So, put your best foot forward and go for a higher place. ”
"Yes!" The students responded in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became even higher.
"Who is that person?" Lu Ling suddenly asked thoughtlessly, and Lu Yan said angrily: "He is the administrator of our academy, Elder Huo Changhe, he has a gentle personality and carefully guides the students, so everyone respects him very much." ”
Lu Ling shrugged his shoulders and said that he hadn't instructed me anyway.
"I'm curious, what's the reward?" He asked with a smile.
"If the ranking is in the top twenty, everyone can get a piece of the Elemental Pill corresponding to themselves, which is condensed by the elders themselves, which contains extremely strong elemental power, which is very beneficial to cultivation. Ye Jingrou said. However, when she found out that Lu Ling was not interested in the so-called Elemental Pill, she winked playfully and said, "Also, the top five can get a two-star body spell, and the first place will have an additional three-star spell reward." ”
Lu Ling's eyes lit up, "Body spell technique?" This is a good thing, he heard that the use of body spells can increase his speed with the help of elemental power, as the so-called "world martial arts, only fast and not broken", a body spell can significantly improve combat effectiveness, and body spells are quite rare, even if it is only two stars, it is precious enough.
Although he had only participated in this contest to teach those pesky guys a lesson, now, he had become interested in the spell.
"Now that everyone is ready, let's get started. After Elder Huo finished speaking, he waved his big hand, and saw dozens of golden streamers gushing out of his sleeve and flying in front of each student.
The streamer dissipated, and what emerged were small, flat bamboo sticks.
There are only a few small characters on the bamboo skewer in front of Lu Ling, No. 3 in Area A.
"What does that mean?" he asked, turning to Landing Studies, who responded, "This is the venue and order of your first round, and the person with the same sequence as you is your opponent in this round." After speaking, Lu Yan also showed him his serial number, No. 3 in Area C.
Lu Ling let out an "oh", there were only four battle platforms in total, so he easily found Area A.
The eight students in the four war zones quickly started the first round of duels, and each battle gathered countless eyes, but Lu Ling wanted to know who his first opponent was, and after looking around, he quickly found another young man holding a bamboo stick from the "No. 3 in Area A", and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The boy was stunned for a moment, but soon showed a look of surprise.
His name is Zhao Yu, he is not very old but very strong, this guy is Yuan Song's loyal little follower, and he usually bullies the weak with his teammates, but he was also beaten by Lu Ling once before.
"I didn't expect to get a win as soon as I came up, it's really lucky!" Zhao Yu smiled slightly mockingly, obviously in his opinion, when he met Lu Ling, he was already in control of the victory when he met Lu Ling.
Hearing Zhao Yu's sarcastic words, Lu Ling didn't fluctuate in his heart and even wanted to laugh a little, he didn't rush to refute, anyway, in the end, strength will prove everything.
He patiently waited for his first battle, and watched the fighting methods of other students by the way, during which Yuan Song learned that Lu Ling's opponent was Zhao Yu, and even told Zhao Yu to "entertain" Lu Ling well, and his arrogance was extreme.
The first two battles in the four theaters ended almost simultaneously, and soon came to the third.
This one attracted far more attention than the previous two, because the two of the contestants, Lu Yan and Lu Ling, who were recognized as the strongest and weakest, would start their first battle of the competition at the same time.
Although they haven't started fighting yet, almost everyone agrees that the winners of these two battles will undoubtedly be Lu Yan and Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu couldn't wait to jump onto the battle platform, he twisted his neck, and wanted to immediately press Lu Ling to the ground and rub it to avenge the revenge he had been flattened before.
In contrast, Lu Ling climbed onto the battle platform slowly, with a relaxed face, which made many people a little puzzled, knowing that he would lose very badly, and putting on such a posture, could he really have the ability to defeat Zhao Yu?
Lu Yan stood on another battle platform, and a young man opposite looked bitter, after all, he had just entered the Yun Qi Realm not long ago, and he met Lu Yan in the first game, so he could only blame himself for having too much of an idea, it seems that this time he can only focus on participating.
After seeing that everyone was ready, the referees on each stage waved their hands at the same time: "The duel begins!"
The young man opposite Lu Yan gritted his teeth a little unwillingly, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally raised his hand: "I recognize ......"
However, before the word "lose" could be uttered, it was interrupted by a loud noise.
The exclamation quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they were all dumbfounded when they turned their eyes to the place where the sound came from.
I saw that on the battle platform in Area A, the young man in black stretched out a palm with a calm face, and the black and purple gas in the palm of his palm was lingering, and his opponent had fallen under the battle platform at some point, and was lying on the ground wailing, with a nosebleed face.
For a moment, the audience became silent.
