Chapter 199: The Struggle of Forces

readx;?β€œ Jiang Yi ......"

Lu Yifan sat quietly on the chair, constantly muttering to himself repeating this familiar and unfamiliar name, and through the handwriting on the note, he already knew that the owner of this note was Tang Ruoxi, obviously Tang Ruoxi was kindly reminding him to be more wary of Jiang Yi.

"Yifan, what's wrong?" Liu Sandao, who was standing on the side, seemed to realize Lu Yifan's abnormality, leaned over and asked softly, "Are you thinking about that person just now?"

"No!" Lu Yifan stretched out his hand and handed the note to Liu Sandao, with a helpless wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Jiang Yi, that martial idiot with no door and no faction, ranked ninth on the Holy Soul List." ”

"But how did he find you?" Xie Yun asked with a puzzled expression.

Facing Xie Yun's doubts, Lu Yifan just shook his head blankly, in his impression, he didn't seem to have anything to do with Jiang Yi.

"He didn't just find you, almost all the people in the academy who were better than him were challenged by him!" Lu Jun explained, "It's just that people like Han Cheng won't accept his challenge at all on weekdays, and when it comes to the academy competition, he can only rank last in the top ten of the Holy Soul List, so he doesn't have a chance to compete with the top few masters." And the more people like this, the more they want to find a powerful opponent, maybe Jiang Yi has already regarded you as a strong opponent that he can challenge!"

"Neurotic!" Lu Wencai said with a disdainful expression, "Don't pay attention to him, Han Cheng can refuse him, and you can too." ”

"Quiet!"

Suddenly, a loud shout like a bell sounded out of thin air, and suddenly the noisy scene quickly quieted down, and the students in the stands on all sides also turned their eyes to the central campus, at this moment, Dean Qiu Ming, the deans of the four major factions and dozens of tutors had slowly walked up, and the fierce and abnormal bald man who had just spoken out to shock the audience was the dean of the Xuanwu Academy, Lei Tian.

Lei Tian's earth-shattering roar instantly spread throughout the audience, and immediately attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people, feeling that the noise around him gradually turned into silence, Lei Tian, who had a fierce expression, nodded with satisfaction, and then he took a step back, and respectfully owed to the old man Qiu Ming behind him.

Today's Qiu Ming old man is the same as when Lu Yifan first saw him, a thin and short kind old man, dressed in a slightly fat gray robe, always smiling on his face, not only does his body exude a little bit of strong momentum, but he doesn't even have the frame that he should have as a dean, no matter how you look at it, it will give people a sense of approachability. But those who know him know that this is just an illusion, and under Qiu Ming's kind eyes, there is a pair of absolutely ruthless and cold hearts of stone.

"All the juniors in the academy, since the establishment of my Holy Soul Academy, there has been a rule of holding an annual academy competition, and it has not been broken over the years, except for occasional interruptions. Old Man Qiu Ming stood at the front of all the mentors like the stars holding the moon, a pair of old and smiling eyes slowly scanned the audience, his voice was wrapped in soul power enough for everyone in the audience to hear clearly, but it was not harsh at all, the tone was still not hurried, and there was a hint of homely with everyone, which made people listen very comfortably, "Today, there are nearly 50,000 people in my Holy Soul Academy, even compared with some sects in the Holy Domain, this number is not far behind!" Of course, the fact that you can enter the Holy Soul Academy is enough to show that each of you has good qualifications and talents, and each of you is a rare young talent in the Holy Realm. I know that you come from far and wide, from different corners of the vast sanctuary, and that each and every one of you in the world you used to live in was a man of the best, a genius, a genius, a geek, a great name in the land. Haha......" As soon as Qiu Ming's slightly flattering words came out, even the faces of everyone in the stands couldn't help but be filled with a hint of pride, after all, the Holy Soul Academy is the representative of the academy in the Holy Domain, and not just anyone can easily enter here to practice and study, so Qiu Ming's words pierced the hearts of these students, how could they not let out bursts of heartfelt laughter with Qiu Ming.

Old Man Qiu Ming knew how to grasp the rhythm of his speech, and when he brought up all the interests of all the students in the audience, he opened his mouth again and said faintly: "It's just that so many leaders are no longer leaders when they gather together. When so many geniuses come together, they are no longer geniuses. You can now look around yourself and look at your brothers and sisters around you, they all have no less talent and qualifications than you, and they have a more resolute character and courage than you in the way of martial arts, so whether it is a freshman who has only entered the academy for a year or two, or an old student who has been in the academy for seven or eight years or even longer, I think you should all understand a truth by now, that is, in the Holy Soul Academy, you geniuses who originally stood out from the crowd, now you must recognize that you are very likely to be a group of chickens and cranes here。 If you want to stand out among a group of geniuses, be a genius among geniuses, and be a leader among the best, you must pay a hundred times more and more hard than others, use little by little progress, and prove yourself with real strength. Holy Soul Academy, the sky is high and the sea is wide for you to gallop, and the annual academy competition is the best time for each of you to prove yourself. ”

When the old man Qiu Ming spoke, everyone in the audience began to boil. If it weren't for the reminder of the old man Qiu Ming, they might have gradually forgotten that they were once the leaders of their peers, but after being here for a long time, they naturally saw themselves as mediocre people. The reason why Qiu Ming deliberately mentioned these things was to stimulate the fighting spirit of the students, and only by stimulating the high fighting spirit could they cultivate more diligently and make greater progress in a limited time.

"Look around you, the Green Dragon Academy, the White Tiger Academy, the Vermilion Bird Academy, the Xuanwu Academy, and each of the four major factions in the academy can see absolutely outstanding figures. These people are the ones who stand out among the many geniuses, and the galloping of the sky and the sea that I just mentioned is actually the true portrayal of these people, and for the rest of the more people, can you really gallop freely within the academy, or have you been squeezed out of the way and are about to lose your foothold?" Qiu Ming said with a smile again, and there was even a hint of banter in his eyes. There are nearly 50,000 people on the Quartet Viewing Platform, why are the vast majority of people standing there crowded, while some people can sit comfortably in the middle?" Qiu Ming said and turned his gaze straight to Han Cheng, Chu Ding and the others, "Let me tell you why, because they have to work harder than the vast majority of you, and they are better and stronger than you, so they can continue to make progress and constantly improve their status and identity." These people were the best in the original place, and when they arrived at the Holy Soul Academy, a place where geniuses gathered, they were still outstanding, old man, I can now assert that after they leave the Holy Soul Academy, they will still become big people with extremely high status in the entire Holy Realm and even in the Five Domains World! And you should all have such a nature, the only difference lies in ambition and perseverance, if a martial artist does not have the momentum and ambition to despise the heroes, how can he make a difference? The wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, and the dog travels thousands of miles****! This is what I mean, do you all understand?"

"Understood! understood!"

Qiu Ming's words completely aroused the atmosphere of the audience to the extreme, and for a while, the roars and shouts from 50,000 people shook the audience, and even the air and the earth were shaken slightly. Seeing the excited and resolute expressions of this group of students, Qiu Ming and the other tutors also nodded in unison, looking very satisfied. Although these tutors know that the vast majority of these students are only three minutes hot, as long as they still have the desire to compete, it is far more gratifying than to be at ease with what happens.

Under the shouts of the audience, Qiu Ming laughed and led the group of mentors to a separate area in front of the Xuanwu viewing platform on the north side, which was the viewing platform exclusive to the instructors, where each of these mentors had their own seat. In the central campus, only the four deans of the four major factions remained.

The first event of the House Tournament is a battle for factions, that is, a competition between the various factions within each faction for the title of the first faction within the faction. According to the order of last year's faction battle rankings, this year's power battle is Qinglong Temple, Xuanwu Temple, White Tiger Temple, and Suzaku Temple.

For the first three factions, this so-called battle for power is less like a game, more like a non-combative one. According to Liu Sandao's words, this is more like a pre-rehearsed performance.

The Hanmen of the Qinglong Academy, the Chumen of the Xuanwu Academy, and the Qingmen of the White Tiger Academy, these three forces all occupy an absolute advantage in their respective factions, and there is no second force in the faction that can compete with one of them, even if there are some small forces and new forces to challenge, in fact, they just want to show their faces in front of tens of thousands of students of the Holy Soul Academy, so as to increase their popularity and attention.

In fact, this is not a shame, because whether it is today's Hanmen, Truman or Qingmen, in the early days of their establishment, they also played a small role in the battle for power, and then with the gradual growth of their strength, they can slowly evolve from a small role to a real protagonist.

In the past two or three years, the most interesting thing in the battle for power is the Suzaku Temple, because the Yumen and the Tang Gate in the Suzaku Temple are fighting against each other, and the strength is equal. Therefore, every year, between the two of them, everyone always sees an unusually wonderful duel. And what is even more worthy of everyone's expectation this year is that in addition to the Feather Gate and the Tang Gate, there is now a more legendary Fan Gate in the Suzaku Temple. Lu Yifan didn't know how to offend Qingmen from the first time he entered the academy. and then to the battle in the snow between him and Mu Ming, as well as the subsequent trip to the southwest and participation in the suppression of the Closed City Lou Sect and other things, although these stories are circulated in different versions, with different interpretations, and even the rumors are far greater than true, but these do not affect the legendary color of Lu Yifan, a unique freshman, coupled with the terrifying expansion speed of the new force Fanmen, it has further deepened people's expectations for Fanmen and Lu Yifan.

Finally, in less than an hour, the battle for the power of the first three factions has come to an end, and the result is naturally undoubted, the first force of the Qinglong Academy, Hanmen, the first force of the White Tiger Academy, and the first force of the Xuanwu Academy, Chumen. It is worth mentioning that after Cheng Yi led Qingmen to seize the first force of the White Tiger Courtyard, he also announced to the world that the Qingmen will be officially renamed "Yimen" from now on, which indicates that Cheng Yi finally officially got rid of the shadow left by Liu Qing after a year of buying people's hearts and disdainful efforts, and truly monopolized the absolute power of the first force of the White Tiger Courtyard.

And as a mere seventh-turn soul master, he has secured the position of the first force in the White Tiger Academy, and Cheng Yi is a veritable first person in the Holy Soul Academy throughout the ages. It seems that in the Holy Soul Academy, the strength of just one person really can't represent everything, and in many cases, it is more important to be good at using your brain to plan and use relationships.

At this moment, only Zhao Yun, the dean of the Vermilion Bird Academy, was left on the central campus, in fact, the Suzaku Academy had been ranked at the bottom of the four major factions over the years, which made Zhao Yun, the dean, feel deeply embarrassed, how much he hoped that the students in his faction could be a little more competitive, and not always let himself, the dean, not always be unable to hold his head up in front of other tutors. In fact, the comprehensive strength of the Vermilion Bird Academy is not weak now, take the Holy Soul List as an example, the top ten on the list are now the top ten of the Vermilion Bird Academy, which is now exclusive to Qin Qingyu, Tang Ruoxi and Jiang Yi, and there are more than 30 people who have entered the list of the top 100 masters of the Holy Soul List, not counting Lu Yifan. But the forces of the faction fell apart, and they were not of one mind, so internal contradictions occupied most of their energy, how could they still have the spare strength to win glory for the Suzaku Academy?

Zhao Yun is a relatively honest person, so he is often rejected by the other three deans because he is too honest, and even the students in other factions are far less respectful to Zhao Yun than they are to other courtyards.

"Ahem......" Zhao Yun stood in the center of the school field, first coughed lightly twice to relieve his embarrassment, and then faced the viewing platform of the Vermilion Bird Academy, and said loudly, "Next is the first force battle in our Vermilion Bird Academy, according to the division of forces in the Vermilion Bird Academy in the past two years, the core of this year's first force battle is still in Qin Qingyu's Yumen and Tang Ruoxi's Tang Gate." Of course, this year, a new Fan Gate of Lu Yifan, which has grown rapidly, has been added. If there are no accidents, this year, the number one force of my Suzaku Temple will stand out among the three of them, and of course, other forces in Suzaku Yuan can also come to power. According to the results of last year's academy competition, it was the Tang Gate that was slightly better, so this year's battle for the power of my Suzaku Academy, the Tang Gate took the lead in sending people to defend it, and the Yumen and Fan Men could send people to challenge. According to the rules, each side can only send three people to fight, and they can carry blades, but they can't kill killers. The parties can fight each other, but they must take turns and have a one-on-one duel. If one side loses three battles, it will be considered a defeat, and the last person left behind represents the winning side, and it is also the number one force in Suzakuin this year. ”

As soon as Zhao Yun said this, the eyes of the audience instantly converged on Lu Yifan, Qin Qingyu and Tang Ruoxi, and everyone was quietly waiting for Tang Ruoxi to take the lead in sending someone to play.

"Sect Master, do you say that Tang Ruoxi will join forces with Fanmen to deal with us?" asked Zhou Wen with a worried look on his face.

"It's not good to say!" Qin Qingyu shook his head solemnly, "If they really join forces, then our chances of winning will be even lower! But after all, this is related to the name of the first force, I think even if Lu Yifan and Tang Ruoxi have the intention to join forces, I am afraid that the disciples under the sect will also disagree with each other! After all, at such a critical moment, no one wants to be a substitute for others! What's more, the Tang Sect is in extremely poor condition now, and it is not known whether Tang Ruoxi has the heart to leave the station! Let's wait and see what happens!"

Lu Yifan frowned and turned his head slightly, and turned his gaze to Tang Ruoxi not far from the left, and Tang Ruoxi still looked pale at the moment, with a faint sense of sleepiness flashing in his eyes, and the whole person did not have any fighting spirit at all.

"Ruoxi ......" Lu Yifan whispered, "How are you?"

"Yifan, the general trend of the Tang Sect has gone, and I have long lost the mind to fight. Tang Ruoxi turned his head slowly and quietly looked at Lu Yifan, although there was a hint of a smile on his face, Lu Yifan always felt that this smile was full of fatigue and reluctance, "Do you need me to send someone to help you deal with Yumen?"

Hearing Tang Ruoxi's words, Lu Yifan's spirit suddenly shook, and then he stared at Tang Ruoxi with a solemn gaze, and only after a moment did he shake his head firmly: "If you are tired, then take a good rest! ”

Tang Ruoxi didn't insist this time, but nodded with a smile after listening to Lu Yifan's words, and then slowly stood up under the watchful eye, and a pair of slightly melancholy beautiful eyes went straight to Zhao Yun who was standing in the center of the school.

"Dean Zhao Yun, please forgive Ruoxi for being rude, this year's battle for power, my Tang Sect will not participate!"

"Hiss!" As soon as Tang Ruoxi's words came out, it can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the audience was in an uproar. In addition to the uproar, all that remained was a silent silence, and the thick shock and surprise on the faces of everyone on the field.
