Chapter 51: The Beginning
By mid-May, all the participating faculties had arrived.
The Academy Qualifying Tournament is a competition between Kunlun, the three major academies, and the Ten School Alliance, which are the top academies in all mankind. Other regular schools are not eligible.
According to the ranking of the previous session: first, Kunlun University.
Second, Wudang College.
Third, the Academy of the God of War.
Fourth, the Academy of Zeus.
Fifth, Emei College.
Sixth, Harvard College.
Seventh, Huashan College.
Eighth, Ivy League College.
Ninth, Hengshan College.
Tenth, Beiqing College.
Eleventh, Glenn College.
Twelfth, Bren College.
Thirteenth, Tianxin Academy.
Fourteenth, Witte College.
Among them, Witt Academy has been ranked last for two consecutive years, and according to the convention, if it is ranked last for three consecutive years, it will withdraw from the ten-school alliance, and the strongest of the ordinary colleges outside the fourteen top colleges will make up for it, and this sense of crisis can maintain the vitality of the top colleges.
Therefore, there will also be competitions between ordinary colleges, and the strongest of them is ready to replace the last one in the ten-school alliance at any time.
In fact, in addition to Kunlun has always held the first position, the seats between the three major colleges and the ten-school alliance also change from time to time.
Among the three major colleges, there will be schools that fall to the ten-school alliance due to poor performance, and there will also be schools in the ten-school alliance that will be promoted to the three major colleges. For example, Zeus Academy was a member of the Ten Schools Alliance ten years ago, and it was Emei Academy that was squeezed out by it.
The higher the ranking, the more resources the government allocates, such as the three major colleges each have a blessed land that is allocated by the government, and the most important thing is that they can recruit better students, which is also the reason why the major colleges have to get a good ranking.
However, Kunlun is different, Kunlun, which has its own independent galaxy, has always been self-sufficient, and at the same time, the countless big people who graduated from Kunlun have always been generous to Kunlun's funding, plus it has three blessed lands, Kunlun does not care about government funding.
After Lin Sen took a bath, he walked to the bedroom and lay on the bed, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window through the glass, chatting with Li Jiao and Cui Xiong. That's right, it's Cui Xiong. Someone has to ask, what about Rongtian?
Hehe, since Emei Academy arrived in Kunlun, Rong Tian, a die-hard fan of Cai Yan, has changed jobs with Cui Xiong, and goes to Yingke Peak every night to patrol, hoping to have a chance encounter with an idol.
"Hehe, do you think the monkey can get what he wants?" Lin Sen asked with a smile.
Li Jiao replied with two words: "No way!"
Cui Xiong crunched and bit the potato chips, this big man has a very feminine hobby, 'snacking', Cui Xiong swallowed the potato chips stuffed in his mouth hard, and said hatefully: "Hmph! This kid already has Wang Xiaoni, and he dares to beat other girls' ideas, and curses him not to !! from now on." Cui Xiong's indignation is not because of grievances, but because the number of snacks he has recently decreased sharply, all thanks to Rongtian, a thin monkey. I don't know why this guy's lockpicking skills are so good, his cabinet has been changed three locks or is it opened by this monkey.
"Ahem" Cui Xiong's words made Lin Sen cough a few times in embarrassment, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Is this bastard doing it on purpose?
Li Jiaole almost choked on saliva, squinted at Lin Sen and grinned: "Haha, Asen, be careful of being fulfilled by the curse of the big man." โ
Lin Sen spit out twice, and said in his heart: Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Tong Yan is untaboo. โ
Cui Xiong, who didn't notice the situation, ate the potato chips fiercely, thinking that he had to finish them quickly or be stolen by the skinny monkey guy again.
The sky outside became more and more gloomy, and it was dark with no stars or moon.
"Let's see if it's raining!" Lin Sen said casually.
"Boom" A spring thunder exploded, and a heavy rain fell in an instant.
Li Jiao looked out the window, and couldn't see anything in the night, only the sound of crackling rain splashing. "It's raining heavily!" Li Jiao, who listened with his ears pricked up for a while, sighed, and looked at Lin Sen lazily and said, "Ah Sen, you are the rhythm of a crow's mouth!"
Lin Sen sneered and said, "Coincidences, it's all coincidences. โ
Cui Xiong, the sullen big man, threw the crumpled bag of potato chips into the trash can next to the bed, sat up and looked out the dark window and smiled.
On the cobblestone path of Yingke Peak, Rong Tian was running towards the grove a hundred meters away with Gao Bai covering his head.
"What the hell is this weather, the rain will fall, and it will rain so much, and it won't give a little buffer. He shouted as he ran to Rongtian.
One of them was tall and big, and the other was nimble, and in a short time they ran into the woods. Rong Tian touched his face, and his whole body was already soaked, but fortunately, the weather in Kunlun was not cold in May and June.
Rong Tian looked up, and although there were leaves in the way, there was still rain falling.
"You can't do it here, you have to find a place to shelter from the rain. Rong Tian said to Gao Bai.
Gao Bai thought for a while, pointed to the front right and said, "It should be a rest area in Wudang, so it's better to borrow a place to shelter from the rain." โ
"Okay, let's go. Rong Tian immediately agreed.
The two men scurried into the rain again.
After running for more than 500 meters, a building with a wavy roof came into view, and the two of them suddenly quickened their pace and broke through the rain curtain.
The eaves of the building were short enough to shelter from the rain, but the door was open, and a girl was lazily leaning against the door frame in a daze.
The girl was Li Miaoli, the footsteps woke her up, looked at the two wolf bรจi in front of her, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you and what are you?"
Rong Tian looked at the short-haired girl in front of him, and said with a flattering smile: "Hello senior sister, we are Kunlun students and want to borrow a place to shelter from the rain." โ
Li Miaoli looked at the two of them who were soaking wet, and couldn't help laughing: "It's all wet like this, what else to avoid, it's better to take a bath with rainwater." Hehe. โ
"Miaoli, don't be rude. A gentle voice sounded, and Wang Taiji walked over. "Two juniors, come in. Miaoli, go find two clean clothes. He said kindly.
Li Miaoli saw the senior coming, stuck out her tongue, and made a grimace at Rongtian and the others while Wang Taiji was not paying attention, and without waiting for the two to react, she turned around and walked towards the corridor one by one, knocking on the door of the boy's room to borrow clothes.
Rong Tian and Gao Bai looked at each other, this senior sister is too... Let's get out of it.
Wang Taiji took the two of them to the door of the bathroom and said with a smile: "Two juniors, go in and wash it, and clean your clothes will help you put them on the stool in the changing room, I'm afraid this big man's clothes won't fit too well." โ
"It's okay, it's okay. Gao Bai hurriedly said, he knows the person in front of him, Wang Taiji, the first person in Wudang, was the third in the competition last year, but he didn't expect me to be so kind.
"What a nice guy. Gao Bai said secretly, "It would be even better if I could fight." โ
"Thanks, senior. Rong Tian politely thanked him.
"You're welcome, speaking of which, this is still your Kunlun place, and we are borrowing it, hehe. Wang Taiji said with a smile.
Rong Tian and Gao Bai took a hot bath, changed their clothes and walked out refreshed, Gao Bai felt a little uncomfortable, and his clothes were indeed a little tight.
I saw that the eighteen Wudang students in the hall all appeared, and Wang Taiji greeted the two, "Come on, come on, let's get to know, it's still raining outside, don't be in a hurry to go out." โ
When Rong Tian and the others approached, Wang Taiji introduced: "This is Cao Wen, an eighth-grade true transmission student. This is He Feng, an eighth-grade true transmission student. It's..."
The introduction of Li Miaoli surprised Rong Tian and Gao Bai. I didn't expect this unreliable looking senior sister to still be a genius, and now she is only in the fifth grade and is in the fourth grade, which is also a sure true student in Kunlun.
However, the identities of Rong Tian and Gao Bai Jingwu Club members also made everyone in Wudang very interested, especially when they heard that Rong Tian was still Lin Sen's roommate, everyone inquired about Lin Sen's affairs, especially the girls led by Li Miaoli were the most excited, chattering endlessly.
Rong Tian secretly admired: "Asen's charm to attract women is really powerful." โ
Not to mention that on the second day, Rongtian went back to boast to everyone about his friendship with the people of Wudang.
Time flies, and June 1 has arrived.
Until the end, Rong Tian did not see the goddess Cai Yan in his mind. However, the matter was revealed, and after Wang Xiaoni learned about it, she was really cold for many days, and Rong Tian did everything possible to please him for a long time before he regained his enthusiasm.
He has always suspected that Cui Xiong, a sullen big man, told the secret, and looked at Cui Xiong with suspicion for many days, and the big man shuddered, and cried out in his heart: "It's not me!!"
At 8 o'clock in the morning of June 1, a total of 110 students from 14 colleges participated in the competition, and they came to the Yingke Peak early to wait.
Someone is going to ask, isn't there twenty places? It is true that there are twenty places, but not all academies can find so many extraordinary masters, the three major academies can indeed make up more than enough, but those who have reached the realm but are not strong do not need to come over and lose face, for example, Wudang only chose eighteen people.
And the Ten Schools Alliance is even less than enough people, Emei has only six people at most, and the others are basically four or five people.
At this time, in addition to the players and the teachers who led the team, there were also many large media at the scene. This grand event is no longer limited to the academy, but has a huge influence on the entire human society.
Media crews debug high-definition cameras connected to the aircraft, and constantly test flight test images.
Li Miaoli looked at the media staff who were more than the contestants around her, and couldn't help but smack her tongue: "There are so many media, isn't that going to be famous?"
Wang Taiji patted her on the shoulder and said, "Take a good look, you can find a good job after graduation." โ
"En," Li Miaoli nodded vigorously.
The sound of humming โโ, vibration sounded, the peak body of the lotus peak trembled slightly, and ten lotus-shaped high platforms rose on the peak, which was extremely spectacular under the morning light.
The students who saw this scene for the first time were all stunned, this was a formation set up by a saint unique to Kunlun.
At this time, the white medical vehicles were also in place, and all kinds of facilities were fully prepared.
"Alright, the first twenty battle academies are ready to go. Dean Jiang Ziya didn't have any nonsense and said directly.
The lottery was completed yesterday, and of course the lottery was not completely random, and the first few rounds would not allow the True Transmission disciples and the fellow academy to bump into each other.
Twenty students took the elevator to the summit and each went to the lotus platform. In addition to various media cameras around, no one watched the game, which is for fairness, otherwise Kunlun's home advantage is obvious.
Twenty people were divided into ten stages, quietly facing each other, waiting for the competition to begin. Lin Sen stood under the stage and calmly breathed Zhenyuan, he was the second group.
And in the human world of the three star fields, the light brain, the TV, and the square are full of people, and they are also quietly waiting for the competition to begin.
"Bell-" A melodious bell rang.
Twenty people on the stage moved.
