Chapter 155: The Aggrieved Hidden Dragon Academy
Elder You's unscrupulousness surprised everyone present.
The dean even supported his forehead with both hands, trying to reason with Elder You in a less irritable mood: "Elder You, even if Wu Qiaoyan is blown into the sky by you, if she doesn't come back, there is no way to compete, right?" β
However, Elder You's focus was not on 'will she come back' at all, but on 'Did I brag?'
I saw him shouting angrily and slapping the table: "Who said I bragged? Let a place come out for my apprentice, and add her name quickly! β
Everyone looked at each other and didn't start writing for a long time.
Suddenly, Elder You was not happy and asked, "Do you think that even if you don't give up a place, the Potions Department will be able to come out on top?" β
Elder Wu, who was sitting quietly on the side and didn't make a sound, thought about it, he nodded approvingly, and admitted: "Elder You is really right in what he said, the pharmaceutical skills of our participating students in the Potions Department this time are mediocre, even if there is more or less one place, it will not affect the result." β
Wu Lao's words caused everyone to be silent for a while.
After a long time, the dean stood up tiredly, he waved his hand and compromised weakly: "Add it, add it, it's just a quota, since the quota is set, you can go out and hand it in, the time is coming." β
At three o'clock, the competition of major colleges and universities officially began.
Under the competition stage, the earth-shattering drums have been beaten, and the students who have signed up for the competition are preparing to enter the venue.
Today's test bench is in the square, and a new extra-large platform has been erected, on which fifty sets of potions refining utensils are neatly placed.
There are fifty places, and there are ten places for each college.
At this time, the beating of drums had stopped, and the students from the major colleges began to play one after another.
Whenever a student from their academy comes to the stage, there will be a burst of encouragement and shouting from the bottom, so that all the people in this situation can't help but boil their blood.
This time, the hottest and popular champion is in Xingyuan Academy, a student named Zhan Yuchen, and Bei Zhenxi, a contestant from Yingtian Academy.
Zhan Yuchen and Pei Zhenxi can be said to be famous, not only in Xingyuan Academy and Yingtian Academy, but even in the country to which they belong, 80% of them know their names, and they belong to the genius-level characters who became famous at an early age and became the mouths of their parents and other people's children.
As soon as they took the stage, there were enthusiastic cheers from the audience, as if they had already celebrated the championship in advance.
The rest of the Apocalypse Academy, they didn't focus on refining potions, and the participants were only slightly famous students, and the rest were basically the top students of each academy.
And the Qianlong students, as the students of the home field, should be more vocal, but because of the light of Zhanyuchen and Bei Zhenxi in front of them, many students of the Qianlong Academy have heard about these two people, and at this time, they no longer have any hope for the Qianlong Academy to win the championship.
Therefore, although it was the home players who came to the stage, the applause and cheers below were sparse and intermittent, which made people very embarrassed to hear, but it made the main stand at the heights, the leading tutors of those major colleges and universities, and the guests feel a little funny.
On behalf of Qianlong Academy this time, there are senior Potions Department veteran Chang Haocha and others, as well as Wei Yao, a new student who was promoted last year, and this is already the best team member that Qianlong Academy can come up with.
One by one, the students entered according to the serial number, and then found the alchemy utensils in front of the table, and when the drum beat was settled, they were about to start the tense competition.
But after everyone was in place, everyone looked at the empty position in the arena, in front of the utensils, and many people were puzzled.
How can there be one less?
"It seems that there are fewer students from Qianlong Academy." Someone shouted as if they had discovered a new world.
Suddenly, many people focused their eyes on the faces of the instructors of the Qianlong Academy, wanting to hear how the instructors of the Qianlong Academy explained.
However, many of the ill-intentioned tutors from the other academies had gloating smiles on their faces, especially the Apocalypse Academy tutors who were originally going to be at the bottom of the potions competition, and they asked blatantly.
"Is the talent of Qianlong Academy withering, and it can't even get ten participating students? Hahahaha-"
When he said this, both the instructors and students of the Qianlong Academy were angry.
The dean, who was sitting in the stands of the organizer, darkened his face, the so-called beating people without slapping their faces, exposing people without revealing their shortcomings, such a blatant damage to people, it is simply unbearable.
The dean, who couldn't help it, immediately lost the position, and went back.
"That's what we reserved for the most talented student in our academy, as long as she participates, you won't be able to laugh."
"Oh? Is it? Then we'll see. The tutor of the Apocalypse Academy showed a sarcastic smile on his face, and his face showed very clearly: The Qianlong Academy is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin.
And after the dean of Qianlong Academy saw the tutors of other academies with a contemptuous smile on his face, the grievance in his heart was ......
But what could he do?
"Knock-" A drum sounded, and the potion refining competition of the major academies officially began.
This silenced everyone who whispered, and they turned their eyes to the arena.
I saw that all the participants moved.
They all picked up the small basket on the utensils table, walked to the medicinal herb area to select the medicinal herbs, and then returned to their utensils as quickly as possible to start refining.
There are many kinds of medicinal materials in the medicine area, but this time the content of the competition is to refine a potion that can increase the speed of people.
This is an open-ended proposition.
Some people can think from the aspect of increasing their own combat power, if the combat power increases instantly, wouldn't the speed of running be fast?
Some people think from the aspect of changing the environment, if you refine and change the smoothness of the ground, such as ice, then the speed of sliding will also increase.
Some people think from the aspect of war beasts, refining a potion that can increase the physical strength of war beasts, with the assistance of war beasts, can they not run fast?
In short, all kinds of ideas can be tested, but when judging, it still depends on the star rating, if it can be done, can refine a high star and meet the requirements of increasing the speed in the proposition, then it is expected to compete for the ranking.
After all the participating students raced against time to select the medicinal materials they needed, they all began to hurry up and return to their positions and start refining.
Seeing that the students who participated in the competition had all started refining, the refining table in the corner of the Hidden Dragon Academy was still empty, which made the tutors of the other four academies able to repeat the old words, and they asked the dean of the Hidden Dragon Academy and the others.
"Now that the tournament has begun, what about the talented players you are talking about? How come we didn't see it? β
These people asked unceremoniously and aggressively.
The dean's expression froze, he turned his head angrily and glared at Elder You who was watching the game, and asked in a stunned voice, "Elder You, what about the precious apprentice you are talking about?" β
How did Elder You know where Wu Qiaoyan was at this time, and a dispute in the conference room at that time was just a resentment in his heart, and his unstingy temperament came up, and he couldn't control himself.
Now seeing that his college was being squeezed, he scratched his head in annoyance and shouted loudly: "It's a big deal, when the tutor competes, the old man will go in person." β
All the other academy tutors nearby who heard Elder You's words changed their faces, the academy competition focuses on the students, and the mentor competition is intended to compete, you are an elder who comes up, is this still called competition? Isn't it the end of our abuse?
Suddenly, many of the mentors were not happy, and they all stood up and accused Elder You with righteous words.
"Elder You, are you relying on the old and selling the old? You can't afford to lose the competition at the Qianlong Academy or what? β
"That's it, Elder You, we haven't heard of any elder who wants to compete with the mentor in person, it's really shameful!"
"Hehββ, Hidden Dragon Academy is ridiculous! What a shame! In previous years, it was the first! I don't know how much water this first contains! β
β¦β¦
Gradually, the accusations became more and more excessive.
Many of the students of the Qianlong Academy turned red and angry.
But they can't replace the potion competition, so they can only secretly look forward to it, hoping that they can win a good ranking this time and slap other colleges in the face.
But on the stage.
Wei Yao glanced at Bei Zhenxi, a contestant from Yingtian Academy who was close to him, on the refining table next to him, when Wei Yao saw Pei Zhenxi's skillful skills, precise control, and speed so fast that others couldn't even be jealous.
Wei Yao looked at the test tube in her hand, now she had just finished extracting the third medicinal herb, but Pei Zhenxi next to her had already completed the extraction of all the medicinal herbs, more than thirty herbs.
This hand speed ......
Wei Yao didn't dare to look at it anymore, she was afraid that she would be hit, and she completely lost confidence.
But the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to make mistakes.
Hearing a 'bang-' sound, the potion bottle she had refined suddenly couldn't withstand the concussive power and exploded violently.
This explosion suddenly made the students of the Hidden Dragon Academy, who had been holding their hearts tightly in the stands, let out a 'ah-' in unison, an exclamation, and a look of disappointment in their eyes.
After hearing the exclamation, Wei Yao on the test table bit her lip, and after taking a deep breath, she quickly cleaned up the scattered pieces on the refining table, and then picked up the basket again and went to the medicinal herb area to select medicinal materials.
Her refusal to give up made the students of the other four academies in the audience let out a long mocking 'hoo-'.
And in the stands, Ying Tian, Cangping, Xingyuan, Shenqi, the tutors of the four major academies, they all spoke with thorns in their words.
"Oh, it's a pity, we should arrange the refining platform of the Hidden Dragon Academy and Pei Zhenxi farther away, so that the Hidden Dragon Academy can last a little longer."
"Hey, there's no comparison, there's no harm!"
"Hahaha, don't be sad about your Qianlong Academy, anyway, the early end and the late end are the same results, but you can settle quietly, watch the competition well, and learn more experience, right?"
"Tsk, this can't be blamed on the Hidden Dragon Academy, after all, the Hidden Dragon Academy has no talents this year, and this matter is known to the whole world...... Hahahaha. β
The taunts became more and more loud, and the voices became louder and louder, even completely affecting the students on the competition platform.
Continuous "Bang-Bang-Bang-"
Three more students from the Qianlong Academy had their potion pipes exploded.
"You deceive people too much!" Elder You was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs were burning, and he smashed the small table in front of him with one palm, glaring angrily, staring at the group of gloating people.
Suddenly, a light, sweet voice sounded under the stands: "Master, what caused your old man to stir his liver?" β
