Deep in the mountains behind the Heavenly Star Academy, dense forests are all over the place. The trees are tall and lush. Although it is not as good as the Celestial Star Forest, it also covers the sky and the sun. Here, sunlight is just a luxury.

Especially the place that Lin Zhan chose, it was even more unsightly.

Once again, the surrounding heaven and earth aura was evacuated, first refining the skin, flesh, blood, muscles and bones, and finally reaching the dantian to be absorbed by the vortex into a particle-like crystal.

After doing this, Lin Zhan finally stopped cultivating, exhaled lightly, and slowly moved his body.

As Lin Zhan stood up, a bone explosion sound came from Lin Zhan's body.

Lin Zhan has usually suppressed his cultivation in the past few years, and rarely cultivates like this time. And after this period of hard work, Lin Zhan's physical strength and cultivation have been greatly improved.

Lin Zhan slowly stood up and completely moved his hands and feet. After carefully feeling the power contained in this body, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zhan's mouth.

"Fourth-order high stage, this is another surprise for you. ”

Lin Zhan was not surprised by such a breakthrough, because it was the result of his accumulation over the years. With Lin Zhan's qualifications and experience, coupled with the exercises he had cultivated and the accumulation of so many years, if Lin Zhan was willing, he could break through to a higher rank.

Lin Zhan knows this very well and can accept such a reality with peace of mind, but people outside don't have Lin Zhan's understanding. Within ten days, the cultivation level will be raised from the fourth order early stage to the fourth order high stage, such a speed is extremely rare in the world.

It is conceivable that Lin Zhan's appearance with such a cultivation will definitely shock the audience.

It will also surprise Zhang Jiye.

After Lin Zhan finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the Heavenly Star Academy.

Today, the ten-day period has arrived.

In the hot preparations of the outside world, the day of Lin Zhan and Zhang Jiye's duel has finally arrived.

As soon as the sky was bright, the students of the entire Tianxing Academy were boiling. All the students got up early, formed gangs, and walked towards the martial arts arena of Tianxing Academy in groups.

The martial arts arena of Tianxing Academy covers an extremely large area, and there are nearly a hundred tall rings inside. These rings are not ordinary rings, each covering an area of dozens of zhang, all of them are poured with molten iron, and the surface is plated with a thick layer of stainless steel, and they have also been blessed by the masters of Tianxing Academy with fighting spirit.

The resources and expenses spent on building such a ring alone are enough to feed an army of 10,000 people.

In the entire Celestial Star Empire, only the Celestial Star Academy has such strength and heritage. If you want to change to other forces, you will definitely not spend so much effort to build a few rings.

And Skystar Academy also has his reasons for doing so.

According to the Celestial Star Academy, the origin of the students of the Celestial Star Academy is for the entire Celestial Star Empire. As long as you are talented and capable, Tianxing Academy will recruit you regardless of your background. After so many years of development, the Celestial Star Academy has almost all the elites of the younger generation of the Celestial Star Empire.

The total population of the Celestial Star Empire is more than two billion, even if only one-tenth of these people are the younger generation, only one in every thousand people in this young generation will appear an elite, and only one-tenth of these elites will study in the Celestial Star Academy, how many students will there be in the Celestial Star Academy.

20,000 people. And the elite of the twenty thousand.

In fact, there are far more than 20,000 students in the Heavenly Star Academy.

This is also the reason why the Celestial Star Empire vigorously supports the Celestial Star Academy. For an empire to survive, to develop, and to become stronger and stronger under the encirclement of many powers, it needs a large number of talents.

In order to better cultivate the elites of these empires, the Celestial Star Academy specially cast these rings.

Skystar Academy encourages students to engage in actual combat with each other to improve their strength. For students who win in official duels, in addition to gaining fame and honor, Skystar Academy will give appropriate rewards.

Such a policy has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of students. And there are more than 20,000 students in the Celestial Star Academy, even if only a tenth of them have to duel in these rings. Each of these rings had to endure more than a dozen battles every day. If it is replaced by an ordinary ring, it will become tofu scum as early as the first day.

Therefore, there is every reason why the Heavenly Star Academy has put so much effort into building these rings as extravagant, and it has to reinforce these rings every once in a while.

That's a lot of money, capricious.

These rings have also slowly become a scenery of Tianxing Academy.

Every day, the martial arts arena will attract many students, not only those who participate in the actual battle, but also many who are watching the battle from the sidelines.

Today, it attracts even more people.

Almost at the moment when the martial arts arena opened, countless crowds poured into the martial arts arena like refugees fleeing the famine, like ocean waves, wave after wave, continuous, black and oppressive.

On weekdays, the duel between the students is already wonderful, attracting many students to watch the battle. Not to mention such a one-on-one duel to the death.

Ordinary duels between cadets are normal. Everyone is doing it to improve their own strength. Although there are cases of personal revenge, everyone in the duel is to the point, and generally does not kill or heavy-handed.

But a life-and-death duel is different, and once it is proposed, there is basically no room for reversal. Ordinary duels can be refused, but life-and-death duels generally cannot be refused, because it involves the dignity of a warrior.

In the face of a life-and-death duel, once you refuse, no matter what the reason, it shows that you are afraid of the other party, and because the other party is strong, you wagging your tail and begging for mercy. This is a humiliation that no warrior can endure. Therefore, a life-and-death duel must be fought as soon as it is proposed. And once it is carried out, it is bound to be a never-ending situation.

Because of this, life and death duels rarely appear in normal times, and once they appear, they will cause quite a stir.

If there are two sides to the duel of life and death, one is the Lin family. One is the Zhang family. Then this sensation will be magnified countless times, and it will stir the nerves of countless people.

The Celestial Star Empire, the royal family is dominant, and the seven heroes stand side by side. This pattern has been in place for more than a decade. Although there are slight flaws, it is generally stable.

But now, the duel between the Zhang family and the Lin family has changed this stable pattern a little.

The Lin family, known as the Seven Heroes, has surpassed the Seven Heroes, and its power can even be compared with the royal family in some aspects. Whether it is objectively caused or sought by the supervisor, none of the other six major families can be compared with the Lin family, and the so-called checks and balances of the major families on the Lin family are even more useless.

The Zhang family, which also belongs to the seven major families, was crushed by the Lin family. Whether it is in the court or in the people, where the Lin family is there, the voice of the Zhang family will always be a little weaker. This made the Zhang family's heart more and more uncomfortable.

Now the duel between Lin Zhan and Zhang Jiye is regarded by many people as a continuation of the dispute between the two courts of Lin and Zhang among the younger generation.

What made many people even more excited was the sudden outbreak and rise of Lin Zhan.

In the past ten years, Lin Zhan has been the most mysterious of the younger generation in the empire, and most people don't even know what Lin Zhan looks like. Many people's perception of Lin Zhan is still stuck in the rumor that "Lin Zhan is a waste of firewood". Such an impression is diametrically opposed to the status of the Lin family.

And just when this cognition was already ingrained, Lin Zhan suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Star Academy, and did one sensational thing after another in just two days.

These things have had a great impact on everyone's previous cognition, and they have also greatly stimulated everyone's curiosity about Lin Zhan. Everyone was eager to find out what kind of person Lin Zhan was.

And the appearance of this life-and-death duel provided an opportunity for everyone to see Lin Zhan clearly.

There are even some people who are looking forward to whether Lin Zhan will make some more amazing moves in today's duel.

Although there are few such people, it also shows that everyone is concerned about this matter.

The combination of these factors made today's duel truly extraordinary.
