Chapter 102: My Sword

The next morning, Roy summoned Arya to the academy to watch the finals of the Sidney Medal.

The House of the Templars has long symbolized the supreme power and force of Sidney, and its direct descendants are all geniuses.

He also wanted to see how strong these geniuses were, and as Qin Liu said yesterday-

"How do the real strong fight?"

How to listen to this sentence and pretend to be forced, but if Qin Liu really won the "Sidenia Medal" today and achieved the achievement of the "Triple Crown of the Academy......

Then no one will be unconvinced when she says such things.

……

Teleported to the academy collar, the crowd gathered here at this time was much larger than yesterday.

The entrance of the Inheritor Academy was so crowded that the Academy sent a team of guards to erect a guardrail at the gate to guide the crowd to line up to enter the school in an orderly manner.

This year's "Sidney Medal" has four people from the direct line of the temple family alone, and everyone wants to see who is the strongest among them.

After queuing for a while, and after verifying the identity of the inheritor at the door, Roy and Arya finally entered the inheritor academy and followed the flow of people to the competition area in the academy.

The Inheritor Academy's competition area has four sub-divisions and a main division, each of which is about the size of a football field, and the stars surround the main competition area like a moon.

The area of the main competition area is larger than that of the competition area, and it has the highest standard competition facilities of the Inheritor Academy, and this final will be held in the main competition area.

The area is so large that even if there are people from outside the academy to watch the game, it will be more than enough to accommodate everyone.

Roy and Arya found a place with a good view, and directly opposite them was the podium in the main arena.

The staff who are in charge of managing this event are walking around on the rostrum, and there are also closed VIP boxes on the left and right, and it is estimated that the people sitting in them are all big figures at the level of the temple family.

Because of this, it was the most crowded place, and Roy was a little deserted, and he was happy to be quiet.

"The last time I came to a place with so many people was when I went to the Grand Theater to enjoy a musical."

Arya sat next to Roy and stroked her chest, "Seeing so many people come to watch the game, even sitting in the audience, I feel a little nervous. ”

"Then you'll have to get used to it."

"In a few years, we will be on the stage." ”

"Hey, do you want an update on the finals?"

A young man of their age walked along, holding a stack of newspapers in his hand, smiling and accosting him.

"Finals?" Roy looked at him with interest.

"My name is Duke Sting, and I'm from the Legacy Academy's Information Department, and our intelligence is absolutely reliable."

"Every year during the competition, our information department will sort out the information of the contestants and the competition profile, make a newspaper, and sell it to those who are interested in it, and earn some funds by the way. ”

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, and sure enough, it wasn't just him, but there were also some people who were selling information about the tournament to the rest of the audience.

Presumably they are all from the Department of Public Information.

"Okay." Roy nodded, "Give us one." ”

"A thousand soles." Duke said with a smile.

"A newspaper for a thousand soles, are you serious?" Roy was stunned for a moment.

It's not that he can't afford it, it's just that he thinks it's too lucrative.

This kind of newspaper for the general public, at most, briefly introduces the general strength, past achievements and background of the contestants, and it is impossible to have too detailed information.

For the Department of Public Information, which specializes in this field, it doesn't even take much effort to write such a newspaper every year, and the cost of printing a newspaper is negligible.

It's a thousand sols, I'm afraid it's not this Duke who sees that they are coming to the Inheritor Academy for the first time, and wants to slaughter them fiercely?

As if seeing the suspicion in Roy's eyes, Duke spread his hands: "If you go and ask other people, you will only ask for the same price, this is a uniform price."

"If you think I've cheated you, feel free to complain to the Department of Public Information.

"And the newspaper can be circulated, as if there are two of you, but you only buy one piece of information, we don't actually sell much, just to make some extra money."

"Okay." Roy nodded, too lazy to dwell on such details, and Arya handed out a silver ticket for a thousand soles.

Duke took the silver ticket, handed over a newspaper, and then said with a smile: "I see that you don't know much about the market of the Inheritor Academy, aren't you a freshman who is about to enroll?"

"If you want any information, you can come to the Department of Public Information and find me.

"Whether it's the strategy information of the World Tree or the identity information of a certain inheritor, we have it in the Information Department, and you will understand in the future, dealing with the Information Department is a compulsory course for students of the Inheritor Academy!"

The news student named Duke walked away, and Roy withdrew his gaze and read the newspaper with Arya.

There will be eight finalists in the Sidney Medal, and the eight players will battle it out in a closed main area, and the one who beats everyone and lasts until the end will emerge victorious.

No limit knockouts, very simple and easy to understand rules.

These eight players were all the best among the third-year students of the Inheritor Academy in that class, and although they were only eighteen years old, their strength was at least the fifth-order level.

Among these eight contestants, four more contestants were highlighted by the newspaper, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of pen and ink and detailed introduction.

The four are from the same team in the academy and are:

The sword cultivator seat represents the direct line of the Qin family: Qin Liu, a sixth-order thunder caller.

The Moon Shadow seat represents the direct line of the Florentine family: Klein Florence, the sixth order of the Moon Shadow.

The first seat of the Judgment represents the direct line of the Ellan family: Vera Ellan, the Sixth Order Judge.

The Guardian Knight seat represents the direct line of the Abraham family: Barton Abraham, a sixth-order Guardian Knight.

Don't look at the difference between the fifth order and the sixth order, there is only one order, but the ravines in them are like moats.

Even if he is an unborn genius, he will break through all the way and advance at the low level, but when he advances from the fifth order to the sixth order, he will definitely pause.

This is a hurdle, and it can be said that the inheritor is still in the stage of laying the foundation and carrying out quantitative changes before the sixth order.

After the sixth order, the inheritance's comprehension of the law of strength will reach a qualitative change, and the strength will rise more than one level compared to the fifth order.

This is also the reason why only inheritors above the sixth order are qualified to be called "high-level inheritors".

Compared with the experience of previous college competitions, as long as a student can break through to the sixth level before graduation, he or she can win the "Sidney Medal" or even the "College Triple Crown".

Even if it is besieged by all the fifth-order inheritors, the sixth-order inheritors will crush them head-on, that is, the so-called strength crushing.

But this year, the situation of the competition is different......

Because in the finals of this year's "Sidenia Medal", there is not only one high-level inheritor who has broken through to the sixth order, but there are only four!

After all, the number of direct descendants of the temple family is scarce, and most of them are in a single line, which can just bring together four direct descendants to decide the winner in the same competition-

It can be regarded as a rare wonder in a hundred years of the Inheritor Academy.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the audience directly opposite them.

Roy narrowed his eyes, and he saw a woman enter a VIP box next to the podium, surrounded by the crowd.

She has silver hair and is dressed in a gold-rimmed white robe, even if you glance at her, you can still see her white and beautiful side face like a girl.

"That's Shireen Erlan, the 'Holy Maiden'!"

Arya recognized the woman's identity and whispered, "The Holy Maiden has come to watch the game too!" ”

Shireen Ellan, the current saintess of Sidneya and the current head of the Erlan family, has presided over the Apocalypse festival in previous years, including the beginning of this year.

It's just that Roy and Arya were about to participate in the Holy Land Pilgrimage at the time, and they couldn't meet the saint at this year's festival.

"Vera is her daughter, so it makes sense to come and watch the fight." Roy nodded.

With the big names taking their seats one after another, the finals are about to begin.

The first to enter was a phalanx of eighteen neat honor guards, each holding a flag in their hands.

The flag is painted with a coat of arms that symbolizes the lineage, and eighteen different flags symbolize the eighteen different lineages of Sidney.

The honor guard entered, and the band on the side also played the drums for the start of the competition, and after the honor guard circled the competition area, the earth-shattering gongs and drums resounded in the sky, stirring up the gradually high emotions of the people present.

"So, the finals of the 'Sidney Medal' for the 95th class now begin!"

On the rostrum, the host's voice echoed in the main competition area through the amplification of the audio transmission equipment, "Please invite the following contestants to appear in turn——

"No. 1 player: Qin Liu.

"Runner No. 2: Vera Ayrland.

"No. 3: Klein Fiorentina.

"Player Four: Barton Abraham ......"

Under the host's broadcast, several figures appeared in the athletes' passage in the arena, Qin Liu, wearing a black leather armor, took the lead in walking to the center of the arena, followed by her three former teammates in turn.

They were the real protagonists of the final, and as they entered, the audience burst into applause and cheers.

Most of the people in the stands are still current students of the Inheritors Academy, and they were thrilled to be at the same school with these four future leaders of West Deteria to witness this historic final moment.

If you go out to brag in the future, you can also say things like "The head of this temple family used to be in the same class as me", "I watched him when he won the competition".

On the chairman's seat, the host's voice sounded again: "In addition, the four players No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 chose to abstain......

"Please prepare the players on the field, the final is about to begin."

There was a slight silence in the audience in the face of the abstentions of the remaining four players, and then it returned to normal, with no boos and no one taking the matter to heart.

After all, everyone knew that in the face of the four lineages of the inheritance family who had reached the sixth order, this final had become an out-and-out immortal fight, and there was no room for ordinary people to interfere.

Since you already know that you will lose, and no one expects you to win, why should you be beaten on the field and become a stepping stone to set off the strength of others?

In this way, the final entered the countdown, and only four people from the temple family, including Qin Liu, were left on the field.

There were noisy shouts and cheers from the audience, countless pairs of eyes staring at her from afar, standing in the middle of the arena, Qin Liu's face was not moved in the slightest.

Her cold gaze stared at a VIP box next to the rostrum, as if she could look at the spectators in the box through the reflective glass window.

"Father, sister is watching us."

In the box, Qin Xiang sat on the seat in white clothes, staring at the arena and said in a low voice.

There was a middle-aged man with brown hair and brown eyes sitting next to him, and Qin Xiang on the side compared to him, as if he had been carved out of a mold.

Qin Zhu, the current head of the Qin family, is also the father of Qin Xiang and Qin Liu, and he silently looked at his daughter on the field, his eyes were complicated.

The father-daughter relationship between him and Qin Liu is actually not good.

Qin Liu was his first child, and he once regarded Qin Liu as the heir of the Qin family and personally taught her swordsmanship.

But as Qin Liu grew bigger and bigger, he gradually discovered that this daughter looked more and more like his wife, that is, she inherited more and more blood from the Ji family.

The Ji family is the representative of the temple family to call the thunder, when the two families of Qin and Ji married, Qin Zhu, as the head of the Qin family, married Ji Lian, the sister of the head of the Ji family.

The bloodlines of both families are very strong, so it is uncertain which side of the children will inherit more talent and appearance.

And judging from the results, in addition to the surname Qin, Qin Liu does not look like a person from the Qin family in terms of his awakened inheritance or appearance, but more like a person from the Ji family.

After Qin Xiang was born, he not only inherited the sword cultivation inheritance of the Qin family, but also looked very much like his father.

So Qin Zhu gave up instructing Qin Liu's swordsmanship and began to teach Qin Xiang to cultivate wholeheartedly.

Of course, this is not to say that he doesn't love his daughter, it's just that he thinks that since the inheritance of his daughter's awakening is to summon thunder, then penance swordsmanship is naturally unnecessary.

Everyone's energy is limited, and when he focuses his energy on cultivating Qin Xiang, he naturally distances himself from Qin Liu a lot.

It wasn't until later that he heard that when Qin Liu first enrolled in the Inheritor Academy, he actually won the duel with the next "Holy Daughter" Vera Ellan.

And when she wins, she uses a sword.

Only then did he realize that he didn't know his daughter at all.

"Let me see how far you have grown now."

Qin Zhu looked down at her and muttered to himself.

"You'll see, father."

As if feeling that scrutinizing gaze, on the field, the corners of Qin Liu's mouth hooked up a cold smile.

"I will use the sword in my hand to achieve victory, but this sword is not the sword of the Qin family.

"It's my sword."
