Chapter 40 Combatants
Not long after the people from the Eastern Regions Academy arrived, the news of the competition between the freshmen of the two academies had already spread in the one-year district.
"I heard that the Eastern Regions Academy sent a team of freshmen to challenge my Southern Wilderness Academy, and they are all some martial artists of the three-rank realm!"
"What about the three products, in the past few days, there have been students among our freshmen who have broken through the realm of the three products, plus those who have already broken through, and now there are no less than ten three products, why not be afraid of a war!"
......
Most of the discussions here in the one-year area are like this, and most of the students who have just entered the academy don't know much about the martial artists of other realms, and they are completely in the mentality that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. But when the news spread to other grades, the thoughts of these students were just the opposite of the freshmen, they had all experienced the big competition of the five academies, and knew that the overall strength of their academy was far behind the other four academies, and they had no hope at all for this freshman exchange competition, and only hoped that the younger students would not lose too badly, so as to save a little face of the Nanhuang Academy.
As soon as the evening literature class ended, Shen Xuan was about to go to the library to check the ancient books when Zhao Siya shouted: "Shen Xuan, you go to the dean's office now, the dean has something to look for you." ”
When he came to the dean's room, there were already nine students waiting, and Qing'er and Ye Yun were among them.
Ding Yuanjie glanced at the ten people and said, "You should also know that the freshmen of the Eastern Regions Academy came to our academy for an exchange competition, right?"
Everyone nodded, they probably knew the reason why Ding Yuanjie came to them this time, and they were all a little eager to try.
"There will be a competition tomorrow morning, and now the academy has temporarily selected ten of you to fight, and you have to face four third-grade peaks, four third-rank high-level, and two third-rank intermediate martial artists of the same age!
"What? third-grade senior, and there is a peak?" The few people who were still excited just now all turned pale when they heard this, at first they thought that the opponent was probably about the same as their strength, but now it seems that the weakest realm of the Eastern Regions Academy students participating in the exchange competition is more than them, except for the chief of the first four classes who are above the third-grade intermediate, everyone else is still only third-grade primary, this is simply a competition of disparity in strength!
"I'm willing to fight!" Han Xue said coldly, no matter how strong the opponent is, she just needs to fight!
Shen Xuan and the three of them also agreed, and although the remaining few people were shocked by the strength of the new students of the Eastern Regions Academy, they would not be afraid before they could fight, and soon the ten people agreed to play in tomorrow's competition, and the list of participants was finalized like this.
Ding Yuanjie was very satisfied with the attitude of several people, and then gave a few more words, which allowed everyone to leave on their own.
"By the way, Shen Xuan, Qing'er, Ye Yun and Han Xue, the four of you stay. Ding Yuanjie suddenly remembered something and called the four of them back.
After everyone else left, Ding Yuanjie said: "Twenty days later, our academy will hold a five-academy competition with the other four major academies of the Cangyan Empire, this year's competition system has been greatly changed, the academy has decided to select four or five people from each grade to participate in the competition, I hope you can participate in the first-year students representing the academy!"
This is unanimously agreed by the top management of the academy, needless to say, Shen Xuan and the three of them have seen their performance several times, even the strength of many eighth-grade students is not necessarily stronger than them; although Han Xue's strength is poor, it is only relatively speaking, few of the second-year students can reach the third-grade intermediate level, such a lineup is enough to get a good ranking in the sixteen to eighteen-year-old age group, and even compete for the group championship!
Shen Xuan thought for a moment, "Where is the Big Match of the Five Academies held?"
"Cangjing!"
Shen Xuan secretly said Isn't this the same as their purpose, they were originally going to borrow the teleportation formation in Cangjing to go to the Beihai Empire.
"We participate. Shen Xuan replied without hesitation.
Ding Yuanjie knew that Shen Xuan was talking about the three of them, so he asked Han Xue again, "What about you, Han Xue?"
Han Xue thought for a moment and nodded, this was a rare opportunity for her!
"Then I'll send someone to inform you, so go back first. As soon as this matter was decided, Ding Yuanjie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and only hoped that this time Nanhuang Academy could win back a little face in the competition of the Five Academies.
The four of them left the dean's room together, Qing'er Hanxue walked in front and chatted, while Shen Xuan and Ye Yun followed them. At first, Qing'er was very wary of Hanxue, but then the two had some communication, and she also learned that Hanxue just had a strong desire to win, and wanted to compete with powerful martial artists of the same age.
A few people walked along the avenues of the academy, the surroundings were quiet, and through the gaps in the leaves above, you could see the bright moonlight, even the most restless heart, it would calm down at this moment......
A few people walked to a dark place, and Ye Yun's gaze suddenly burst into the dark place under the branches and leaves, "Wait, there are people up there!"
Being reminded by Ye Yunyi, Qing'er also suddenly felt a trace of unkindness, and then two black shadows jumped down from an ancient tree, and through the sparse moonlight, you could see that the two people were dressed in the same way, and the words "East Courtyard" were embroidered on their chests.
"You are a freshman of the Eastern Regions Academy?" Han Xue's expression condensed slightly, she could feel that the strength of these two people was on par with her, and they should be the only two third-grade intermediate among the ten people!
"I didn't expect that there are still some beautiful girls in this Southern Wilderness, and their strength is not bad. The two of them looked at Qing'er and Han Xue, their eyes showed Chi Guoguo's possessiveness, even in the Eastern Regions Academy, they could hardly find such a moving girl!
"What are you hiding here?" asked Qing'er very unpleasantly.
One of them smiled: "I just want to try if you have any more powerful masters, I didn't expect that no one found out about our existence after staying here for nearly a quarter of an hour, and accidentally overheard a lot of little secrets, to be honest, we are very disappointed in the students of Nanhuang Academy, but we don't want to meet two fairies by chance, it just so happens that the bright moon is hanging high tonight is a rare good day, I wonder if the two fairies can appreciate their faces?"
As he spoke, the two reached out to grab Qing'er and Han Xue, directly ignoring Shen Xuan and Ye Yun.
Shen Xuan and Ye Yun were already ready to make a move, but at this time, a black figure jumped out of nowhere to interrupt the movements of the two people, and if you look closely, the person who came here is in shape, it turned out to be a woman.
"You two won't go back in the middle of the night!" the woman said in a cold voice.
"Hehe, Sister Zhao, let's go back immediately, go back immediately!" The two unwillingly glanced at Qing'er and Hanxue, and finally left honestly.
The woman known as Sister Zhao suddenly turned her head and glanced at Qing'er, as if she was asking herself: "It's a little interesting, are you a third-grade intermediate or advanced? Forget it, whether it's intermediate or advanced, it's almost the same for me." ”
After saying this, she also left with the two people in front of her.
"Why are these people so arrogant, run slower and see if I don't fly you!" Qing'er stomped her foot angrily.
"That woman just now should be the peak of the third grade. Han Xue felt a little heavy in her heart, she could still fight with those two men, but with this woman, she might not be able to make ten moves! Han Xue felt a little hit, she was born with a cold temperament, but she was full of enthusiasm for martial arts, she had always been an invincible existence among her peers since she was a child, but these days she gradually found that she was still 108,000 miles away from being invincible in the same generation, Shen Xuan and the three of them did not mention it, but the Eastern Regions was only a freshman, there were no less than ten Tianjiao who had reached the third rank intermediate or above at the age of sixteen, so how many such Tianjiao would there be in the entire Cangyan Empire and the entire Martial Arts Continent? Now think about it, she is just a frog at the bottom of the well.
"But no matter how strong it is, I still have to fight!" Han Xue's gaze suddenly became fierce, no matter how strong the opponent was, she couldn't lose the courage to fight, that was her martial arts!
Feeling the change in the aura on Han Xue's body, Shen Xuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, she was simply born for martial arts! Shen Xuan felt a little envious, everyone has a goal to work towards, and they can find opponents who are evenly matched or far surpass their bodies, but he is gradually unable to see the future path clearly......
