After talking to Aunt Lan for a few words, Fu Ran came to the staircase where the contestants were and sat down, ignoring everything around him.

Time passed, and after an hour, the entire square was already overcrowded except for the two hundred zhang range in the center, and on the stairs beside Fu Ran, thousands of people had already appeared, and under Fu Ran's induction, there was nothing to hide.

"The strength of the Sect Xuan Realm is less than one-tenth. ”

For these people, Fu Ran doesn't know them, they are all about fifteen years old, and being able to reach the Zong Xuan Realm at this age is enough to see how talented they are, they are geniuses in the Gal Empire, but among them, those who can step into the Soul Xuan Realm are probably less than the number of hands.

The Soul Realm is the fifth realm of cultivators, if you want to step into it, you don't have talent, you need chance, otherwise, the Soul Realm of the Gal Empire will not be so few, as for the Earth Mystery Realm, it is even more difficult, in Fu Ran's knowledge, only Thunder alone in the entire Gal Empire has reached it, and there may be hidden people, but it will definitely not exceed the number of hands.

Suddenly, Fu Ran's eyes froze, and his gaze fell on a young man in the corner, this person already had the strength of the middle stage of the Zong Xuan Realm, and he was the strongest, his face was flat, but the corners of his mouth seemed to have a hint of mockery.

After taking a look, Fu Ran withdrew his gaze.

The square was noisy, the audience was divided into four areas, and there were passages at the four gates, and now, no one entered the square.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

A loud voice spread throughout the square, and the next moment, everyone fell silent, and their eyes were all focused in one direction.

Fu Ran and the others got up slowly, looked away, and just saw the emperor coming, and there were no other palace maids beside the emperor today. Only two middle-aged and old palace officials followed.

"Long live the Emperor!"

100,000 people shouted and bowed, and the square was already so crowded that it was almost crowded, and it was inconvenient to bow down, so everyone was bent down. The sound spread, and the entire imperial capital could hear it clearly.

Seeing this, the emperor nodded slightly, and didn't care about these people not bowing down, after all, it has been like this for nearly a hundred years, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Today is the day of the annual joint academy competition, and this year's contestants are more than 2,000 people, but only one of them can achieve the final victory." You will be eligible to become a student of the East Academy of Qingfeng Academy, and at the same time, I have prepared a generous reward, as long as you perform well, you can be rewarded. ”

After a pause, the emperor said: "This year, Princess Garlan will also participate in the joint house competition, which can be regarded as an experience for her, and she will begin to verify the identities of the contestants. ”

The voice fell. When dozens of forbidden troops arrived, each holding a pamphlet in his hand. With a pen in hand, go to the contestant's area.

"Brand!"

A forbidden army man came to Fu Ran's side and spoke coldly, and immediately Fu Ran took out the brand that Shi Fei had given him and handed it to the forbidden army.

The forbidden man glanced at it and put it away, then asked, "Name?"

"Fu Ran!"

Hearing this, the forbidden man's face changed slightly. With a gleam in his eyes, he nodded slightly, wrote his name on the booklet in his hand, and turned to the other contestant.

Fu Ran looked around again, and there were nearly two thousand contestants who appeared. And Garlan did not appear, and Wei Guanyue did not appear.

Whether Wei Guanyue will participate in the joint academy competition, Fu Ran is not sure, but the emperor also said just now that Garlan will participate, which also made him sigh in his heart, he guessed that he did not fight on Garlan's birthday that day.

At this moment, a group of people came and sat down next to the emperor after saluting the emperor, among which there were Gu Sangun and Ironwood Wine.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Fu Ran felt something, and looked away, but saw that Bu Fan's brother and sister were coming with Gar Lan, and Bu Yao was talking with Gar Lan in a low voice, and Bu Fan's eyes had already looked.

Fu Ran nodded slightly, and Bu Fan nodded in response.

"He's still here!" Suddenly, a young man standing beside Fu Ran whispered, attracting Fu Ran's attention, and following the young man's line of sight, he happened to see Wei Guanyue carrying a spear and stepping over, and beside him, there were nearly a hundred teenagers.

Fu Ran's eyes froze, Wei Guanyue already had the strength of the Zong Xuan Realm, although it was only in the early stage, but compared to others, there was no sense of instability, and it seemed that it had been a breakthrough for a while.

As for the other people who followed behind Wei Guanyue, Fu Ran also sensed it, among them, there were three Sect Xuan Realm, and the others were all Spirit Xuan Realm.

Coming to the square, Wei Guanyue and his party first saluted the emperor, and then walked to the contestants' area, but their eyes were looking for something.

In the end, Wei Guanyue's gaze fell on Fu Ran, her eyes narrowed, and she looked away after half a sound, and did not speak.

"Looks like he didn't recognize me. Fu Ran said in his heart.

When Wei Guanyue and the others appeared, even if the forbidden army came forward to verify their identities, a moment later, the identities of all the contestants were verified.

Seeing this, the emperor nodded slightly, and said loudly: "There will be two competitions today, the first one, a scuffle, and if you fall into the ring, you will be disqualified, until there are only one hundred people left!"

"Wow"

As the emperor's voice fell, the audience in the square was ignited, and the outburst of cries spread throughout the imperial capital, and all the contestants, including Fu Ran, had a slight change in complexion, and there were only one hundred left?

More than 2,000 people fought until there were 100 people left, this elimination rate is really staggering, but no one has spoken out against it, and the rules have been like this for nearly a hundred years.

Whoosh!

All the contestants rushed to the ring at the first time, they all wanted to seize a position at the first time, after all, the two-hundred-zhang square ring to accommodate more than 2,000 people, it has already seemed a little crowded, if you can appear in the ring first, then you also seize the opportunity.

Of course, not all contestants are like this, just like Fu Ran didn't rush out at the first time, as well as Wei Guanyue and Garlan, etc., there are more than ten people.

They are all self-sustaining and strong, so they did not move.

When the ring was already crowded, Fu Ran chuckled, jumped over, and landed in the ring, at the same time, Wei Guanyue and Garlan and others also fell into the ring, until this moment, all the contestants appeared in the ring.

No one made a move, they were all waiting for the emperor's order, but the mysterious power that was about to move showed that once they moved, it would be very intense, and more than 2,000 people were fighting, testing not only strength, but also experience and judgment.

Seeing that all the contestants were ready, the emperor slowly got up and said loudly, "Let's go!"

Whew!

When the voice fell, someone immediately flashed, but instead of rushing out, they retreated, and dozens of people gathered around, and it seemed that they had already been discussed.

Fu Ran, who found this, was stunned at first, and finally smiled bitterly, he didn't expect this, his eyes swept over, and fell on Garlan, and the latter was also looking at her at this time.

Garland's indifferent expression did not change in the slightest, and Fu Ran only glanced at it and then retracted it, at this moment the former was surrounded by dozens of people in the middle, it seemed that even if Garlan did not form a gang, the emperor had already made arrangements.

Look at Wei Guanyue again, she is also protected by dozens of people in the middle, looking at that appearance, it seems that these people are protecting Wei Guanyue.

There is also the young man from the Zong Xuan Realm, although he was only protected by more than ten people in the middle, several of them have reached the strength of the Zong Xuan Realm.

"Being protected by so many sects and Xuan realms in the middle, it seems that this person's identity is not ordinary. "The only person who can be protected by several Sect Xuan Realms is this young man except for Garlan.

Suddenly, more than 2,000 people in the audience were divided into more than 30 camps, and Fu Ran was the only one among them, which made many viewers stunned.

"Who is he?

"How can he also have the strength of the peak of the Spirit Xuan Realm, and he is not too weak, don't you know that the first battle will be a melee?"

"I know him, he is Fu Ran!"

Among the 100,000 viewers, there were many people who had seen Fu Ran, and they immediately revealed their identities, which immediately caused an uproar among the audience, and all eyes were focused on Fu Ran.

"He is Fu Ran after the four marshals?"

"Yes, I attended the princess's birthday with my father that day, and I saw him from afar. ”

Fu Ran became everyone's topic in an instant, and all kinds of eyes looked at him, and many people sighed, if there was no camp in the melee, then he would be eliminated in an instant.

The emperor's eyes also fell on Fu Ran at this moment, seeing Fu Ran again today, he more or less had the intention of avoiding it, so he never paid attention to it, and at this time, seeing that he was alone, his face remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart.

Most of the contestants' eyes also fell on Fu Ran, their faces were complicated, they all respected Fu Ran, of course, it was for the sake of the face of the four handsome, and they didn't want to make a move on him, but those who were left alone couldn't hold on to the end at all, not to mention the Lingxuan Realm.
