Calculating the time, it was only less than a month before the joint academy competition, and the students who were eligible to participate in the joint academy competition in various cities rushed to the imperial capital.

Of course, there are also some recommended people, such as Wei Guanyue, who were recommended by the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, so even if they are not students, they can participate.

Almost the geniuses of the entire Gal Empire began to flock to the imperial capital, in order to compete for the only place, once they can get this place, they may soar to the sky, provided that they can truly become the students of the East Academy of the Qingfeng Academy.

Qingfeng Academy, the first school in the four regions and one state, there are branches in the four domains, and the main academy is in Zhongzhou, as long as you can step into it, when he leaves the academy one day, he must be a strong party, even if it is some big forces, he must be recruited.

And the Gal Empire has a history of nearly a hundred years, and every year there will be a person who goes to the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy, but in the end, it is unknown how many people can be eliminated without being screened, but Fu Ran can guess that he is afraid that the number of hands is not enough, after all, the Gal Empire is a small empire, how can the third-class empire in Bu Fan's mouth be comparable to those geniuses in the Eastern Regions?

However, Fu Ran didn't care too much about this, he didn't get the qualifications now, so he naturally didn't think much about things in the future.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the number of people in the imperial capital has reached a terrifying level.

Restaurants of all sizes have long been overcrowded, and masters of the Lingxuan Realm and even the Sect Xuanjing Realm can be seen on the streets at any time, and these people also plan to come to join in the fun, after all, the competition between geniuses is only seen once a year.

The Courtyard Contest is an annual event in the Gal Empire, where some mercenaries and some wealthy people will come to the imperial capital.

Every year, the competition takes place at the Royal Square. Only the Royal Square is wide enough.

But even the Royal Square has its limits. It can only accommodate 100,000 people, and it has to leave enough space for the competition. It can accommodate less than 100,000 people.

100,000 people seems to be a lot, but for the current imperial capital, it is far from enough, so naturally tickets will be sold, and the price will be copied to the sky.

Hundreds of gold coins can buy a ticket, a quantity of about 100,000, such a huge number of transactions, naturally by the Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce, in the various cities. All are available.

When Fu Ran heard about this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, as far as he knew, the game was only three days, that is, if you want to watch the whole thing, then you need to pay nearly two thousand gold coins, so carefully calculated, three days. That's tens of thousands of gold coins.

However, he also knew that the affairs of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce and the royal family had nothing to do with him, and he was one of the contestants. Naturally, there is no need for a ticket.

On this day, the scorching sun is shining, and it seems that today is not ordinary.

on the street. The flow of people is endless, all flocking to the Royal Plaza. The talk was all about the House Competition, and the royal family knew that nearly 100,000 spectators would gather today. Therefore, the four gates of the square are all open, and even then, it seems that they are not enough.

Fu Ran got up early, and after eating something, he rushed to the square.

Today, he is still dressed as usual, and the remnant fire sword that he usually carries on his back is included in the rune space by him, and since the remnant fire sword was purchased from the hands of the seven elders, he has taken it down only a handful of times, and after returning to the Gar Empire, he has only taken it off on Garlan's birthday.

Without the influence of the Remnant Fire Sword, Fu Ran could clearly feel the imminent movement of the Xuan Power in his body, without the previous restlessness, making him more proficient in controlling it, and he could use the Xuan Power more easily.

This is the benefit of the remnant fire sword, which affects his Xuan power all the time, once it is taken off, then his control over the Xuan power will also be on a higher level, what he said is not to improve the Xuan power, but the strength is invisibly improved.

When he came to the outside of the square, looking at the square hundreds of feet away, Fu Ran smiled bitterly, he was already overcrowded in front of him, and he couldn't squeeze in at all.

Swish!

On the houses on both sides of the street, the figures flickered, many of them had reached the Zong Xuan Realm, and they were all people with status, so they naturally would not wait here.

Fu Ran took a look, among these people, there were many teenagers and girls, who should be the same contestants as him.

Seeing this, Fu Ran exerted his strength with his feet, jumped to the roof, and his figure appeared not far from a young man in a flash.

The young man glanced at Fu Ran, the corners of his mouth lifted, and said, "You are also one of the contestants in this game?"

It's no wonder that the boy can guess, after all, he has the strength of the peak of the Spirit Realm at such a young age, and since he appears here, his identity is naturally self-evident.

Fu Ran nodded, this young man already has the strength of the early stage of the Zong Xuan Realm, but it is not stable, it should have just broken through, it looks like he is only about fifteen years old, but he already has such strength, which shows his talent.

The young man nodded slightly, stopped speaking, and accelerated in vain, leaving Fu Ran behind, as if for the sake of performance, it seemed to be like giving Fu Ran a dismount.

Fu Ran did not speed up, but looked around, and suddenly had a rough judgment in his heart about the strength of the contestants this time.

Most of them are at the level of the Spirit Mystery Realm, and only a few have reached the Sect Mystery Realm, and they are all at the early stage, and there is no one in the middle of the Sect Mystery Realm, but he also knows that what he sees at this moment is only a part of it, and he can't judge it by what he sees in front of him.

The distance of hundreds of zhang is only a few breaths for Fu Ran.

Coming to the edge of the roof and looking at the square wall dozens of feet away, Fu Ran chuckled, jumped up and landed on the wall, and saw all the heads.

Today's square is very different from that day, a high platform has been erected at the edge of the square, in the shape of a staircase, so that spectators can watch the game, and on the staircase at the end of the square, rows of wooden chairs are arranged, but there are not many people.

In the middle of the square, there was no one in the middle of the square, and rows of wooden railings separated the audience, and a two-hundred-zhang ring appeared, built with hard boulders.

On the stairs of the square, hundreds of teenagers and girls appeared, all sitting cross-legged pranayama, it seemed that it should be the place where the contestants were, and immediately Fu Ran jumped into the square, and then slowly walked towards the stairs.

When he came to the stairs, Fu Ran did not stop, but walked straight to the place where the wooden chairs were arranged, where there were acquaintances, and he naturally wanted to say hello.

"Seventh Elder, why are you here so early? Today is just a preliminary competition, so it shouldn't attract you, right?" Coming to the side of the Seventh Elder, Fu Ran looked back at the crowd that was constantly pouring into the square and asked.

The Seventh Elder's eyes didn't open, and he said slowly: "I don't want to come, old man, but the palace doesn't have enough people, so I'm just here to help." ”

Hearing this, Fu Ran pondered for a moment, and understood the reason, nearly 100,000 spectators will gather in the square today, in order to ensure safety, the emperor will naturally arrange for many masters to sit in the town, and although there are many masters in the palace, it is obviously not enough, so the seven elders will come.

Looking around, sure enough, although among the dozens of people who appeared, he didn't know much, but he could also judge from the service that there were not a few people from the Mercenary Hall and the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce.

Moving in front of a middle-aged woman, Fu Ran hugged her hands and said, "Aunt Lan!"

Today, Aunt Lan is dressed exactly the same as the last time I saw her, dressed in a white shirt, with long hair draped behind her, bangs covering her left eye, and her right eye is cold, without the slightest emotion, and her eyes are closed.

Hearing Fu Ran, Aunt Lan opened her eyes, a rare smile appeared on her face, and said, "You are here, I didn't want to come today, but I heard that you are also a contestant, so I came to take a look, but I don't know if he will appear." ”

At the end of the words, Aunt Lan sighed lowly, seeing this, Fu Ran didn't know how to speak, Aunt Lan naturally meant Duan Lang in his mouth, but unfortunately since that day, he had never seen Duan Lang again, although he could definitely be in the imperial capital, but a soul Xuan Realm wanted to hide, it was difficult to find out.

And Aunt Lan is here today, I'm afraid the main purpose is to look forward to seeing Duan Lang!

Seeing Fu Ran's appearance, Aunt Lan chuckled lightly and said: "I know that he is in the imperial capital, but he is hidden, presumably in three days, he will appear, I heard that Lao Qi said that you have already gone out to break through, so no matter whether you get the final victory or not, you should not stay in the Gal Empire anymore, then the burden on his body has also been lifted." ”

Fu Ran nodded slightly, and said, "It's been fourteen years, and I'm not the child who needs to be protected anymore, after the joint academy competition, I will leave Gar and go to the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy." ”

"Oh, are you so confident?" Aunt Lan chuckled and glanced at Fu Ran carefully, as if she didn't believe it.

Asked by Aunt Lan, Fu Ran smiled, and a wave of confidence appeared, and the originally thin figure suddenly changed in Bluetooth's eyes, as if there were four figures slowly overlapping.

"Of course I am confident, because I decided to win this place three years ago!" (To be continued......)
