In the evening, everyone who came this time rested in their rooms. Xia Jingyan naturally meditated and practiced, while Xintong and the others went to the city to hang out. In fact, it was just Hua Ling's idea to look for fun and novelties, and Xin Tong and the others were naturally observing the situation in Lingfeng City.

The location of the Imperial Palace was located in the very center of Lingfeng City, and the Sanctuary of the Phantom Sect Bishop was next to the Imperial Palace, which was a tricky matter, as it was tantamount to a suicidal act to act under the nose of the Phantom Demon Sect Bishop.

Although the problem of terrain could not restrict the actions of Xin Tong and the others, there were a large number of people from the Illusion Demon Sect in Lingfeng City, and each of them was terrifying.

Therefore, if you want to avoid the eyes and ears of the Illusion Demon Sect, you have to start from the royal family.

Although Hua Ling is still eating and drinking this time, she is also helping Xin Tong to do business, she uses her ability to use the technique of spores, throwing out a large number of seeds, with the help of the wind, these spores enter the palace without hindrance, and Hua Ling can obtain information through these spores.

In fact, Xintong and they are not in a hurry, the real action will have to wait until the official start of the alliance competition, in that time period, Lingfeng City's attention will be all focused on the competition, and then Xintong and they only need to sneak in.

The spore technique used by the flower spirit quickly sent back the message, this huge palace is indeed heavily guarded, and there is a garrison of ten people every 100 meters, so once they are discovered, then it will affect the whole body, and the security of the entire palace will be activated.

However, Hua Ling said to everyone: "The cultivation of these guards should not be high, and using my hypnotic pollen should be able to solve this problem." ”

"Therefore, the most critical issue now is the power of the Illusion Demon Sect in the Imperial Palace. Obest said at this time.

"By the time the Alliance Tournament begins, presumably the power of the Illusion Demon Sect in the palace will be much weaker. Ling Yan said.

"Why?" asked Xintong.

"Because the emperor of the Caesar Empire will personally watch the game, and the center of gravity of the Illusion Cult is on the emperor. It's just that they are not for protection, but for surveillance, and they will not let the emperor out of their sight. Ling Yan explained.

"In that case, you said you were going to see him, isn't this looking for death?" said Kisara, grimacingly.

"Haha, don't worry, I have my own way, they can't find out. Ling Yan said with a smile, but his emotions were extremely serious.

Several people believed that Ling Yan would not say such a thing casually, so they didn't ask any further.

The streets outside the palace are still very lively, with people coming and going, which is also convenient for a few of them to hide, and the Phantom Demon Sect in the Caesar Empire will not dare to attack the people in the city on a large scale even if they cover the sky with one hand.

Anyway, the tournament will last a week, so there's plenty of time for them.

A few people returned to their residences to rest very late, mainly because Hua Ling thought everything was interesting, indeed, the style of Lingfeng City, a city-state of the warrior clan, was completely different from that of the mage clan.

......

Xia Jingyan didn't go anywhere for two days, so he locked himself in his room to meditate and practice, Xintong persuaded him that he didn't have to be too nervous, he should go out to relax, so that it would be conducive to the performance of the game, but Xia Jingyan said that he was not nervous, he just wanted to seize the time to practice. Xin Tong felt that this guy didn't understand humor, so he didn't go to him again, but Xia Jingyan didn't notice Xin Tong's abnormal emotions and continued to meditate.

After coming to Lingfeng City, the two days passed quickly, and on the third day, that is, the day of the competition, Xia Jingyan and his team of twenty people gathered at the entrance of the hotel.

Led by two teachers, the team set off towards the venue of the competition. The venue for the tournament was a huge arena, built on the edge of Lingfeng City because it was so large.

The group still set off in a carriage, after all, the scale of Lingfeng City was not much more than that of Endirion, so it was absolutely unrealistic to walk there.

At about nine o'clock, Xia Jingyan and his team came to the periphery of this arena. The outer circle of the arena is a ring of tall walls, about a dozen meters high. Xia Jingyan felt that this arena was the most imposing building in Lingfeng City, much like the gladiatorial arena of the ancient Roman period in his original world.

After revealing their identities, Sylvia's team was released into the arena, as they were one of the protagonists of the tournament.

At this time, the audience in the arena was already full of spectators, Xia Jingyan glanced at it, and sure enough, more than ninety percent of the people were from the Caesar Empire, and it seemed that this was really an irrefutable away battle.

Xia Jingyan and his team were taken to a specific venue rest area by the people on the spot, this place is a room, where you can see the situation on the arena through the display screen on the wall of the room.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers from the scene, it turned out that it was the team of Lingfeng Academy entering, and they went straight through the arena, and came to the room next to Xia Jingyan and them amid the gaze and cheers of tens of thousands of spectators.

After less than half an hour, the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and at this moment, a group of people appeared at one of the entrances of the auditorium.

Xia Jingyan saw this formation and knew that this should be Long Haoyu, the emperor of the Caesar Empire, but what he didn't expect was that the emperor of the Caesar Empire turned out to be a young man of his age.

Behind Long Haoyu stood a middle-aged man, judging from this placeholder, this person should be the bishop of the Illusory Demon Sect, Amitaire, but Xia Jingyan couldn't see the dark aura from this person's body, presumably what he saw should not be the true body of the bishop of the Illusory Demon Sect.

Everyone present looked at the young emperor in front of them, and their eyes were full of awe.

Xia Jingyan didn't quite understand why, because according to the rumors he had heard, the current emperor should be just a puppet of the Illusory Demon Sect, with no substantive power at all, and any major decisions of the country were miraculously operated by the Illusory Demon Sect.

The history of the Long family of the Caesar Empire dates back to two hundred years ago, when the royal family of the empire was still the Ling family, that is, Ling Yan's ancestors.

That is, two hundred years ago, the emperor at that time was Ling Yan's grandfather, that is, Ling Xiao's father Ling Chen.

The change happened at that time, Ling Chen had just accepted the throne, and the Long family seized the throne of the Ling family with the help of the strength of the Illusion Demon Sect and successfully took over the Caesar Empire. However, due to the strong strength of the Ling family, the Long family did not rush to kill them all, but let their family guard the frontier against the invasion of the demon clan.

Although the Ling family was unwilling to submit to the Long family, they still went to the border for the sake of the people of the Caesar Empire.

No one can tell what this history was like at that time, some people will remember, these people will not forget, but the people of Caesar's empire have forgotten everything.

Until Long Haoyu's father died suddenly of illness, this young man who was less than ten years old at the time became the new emperor of the Caesar Empire with the assistance of the Phantom Demon Sect, but the minions of the Phantom Demon Sect have gradually been exposed.

Time goes back to the present.

It was then that the emperor began to speak through a PA: "Annual ......"

Xia Jingyan didn't have the heart to listen to these words, he didn't have to think about it, it was nothing more than some official clichés.

After Long Haoyu spoke for ten minutes, he sat down on the chair behind him, and the Phantom Demon Sect Bishop sat beside Long Haoyu.

Xia Jingyan and their team were notified by the officials of the Caesar Empire to play.

After seeing Xia Jingyan and their team on the field, the host at the scene made a brief introduction, and before that, Xivia had already reported some basic information about their team. When the host was making an introduction, the audience at the scene did not have any special reaction, but this is normal, after all, Xia Jingyan and their people are not from their own country, but opponents.

After introducing the team of magicians, the team from Lingfeng Academy entered, and with a roar of cheers, their team came to the other side of the arena next to the host.

Every time the host introduced a person's name, there was a round of applause.

Aruna muttered quietly, "Is it necessary?" and she was referring to everyone's applause and cheers.

"If it were played in our country this year, it would be the other way around," Jacos said. ”

"Yes, after all, we don't have to care too much about such things on someone else's territory. Xia Jingyan also said.

After the host boasted about these Lingfeng Academy students, the next step was the draw ceremony, that is, to decide who their opponents would be in the first round.

The card information of the forty people had already been placed in two opaque boxes, and the lottery was drawn by the leading teachers on both sides, that is to say, Xivia would draw the personnel of Lingfeng Academy, and the teachers of the other party would draw Xia Jingyan's students.

After drawing a lot, the teachers of both sides show their own draws, then these two people are the opponents of the next game.

The draw lasted for more than ten minutes, and the opponents of the game had been assigned, and the person who was drawn first played first.

It was already around ten o'clock in the morning, so there would only be two games in the morning.

After the Kaiser Empire's Emperor Long Haoyu announced the start of the game, both sides were left on the field by the first player to be drawn, while the others returned to the rest area.

Xia Jingyan is relatively low in the rankings, so the game should be scheduled for the next day. Xia Jingyan noticed that his opponent was a girl, there were a total of five girls in the team of Lingfeng Academy, but Xia Jingyan would not be careless because the other party was a girl, and being able to enter this team to participate in the competition meant that the strength was very likely to be a seven-star cultivation. Xia Jingyan didn't want to be eliminated in the first round, otherwise it would be too shameless.

And Xintong and they will not act directly on the first day, that would be too reckless, they have to see what the situation in the palace is like when the game is played, at least on the fourth and fifth days, so Xia Jingyan can participate in the two rounds first.

But having said that, Xia Jingyan didn't want to go to the end, because he would help Xin Tong when the time came, although Xin Tong didn't trouble Xia Jingyan, but Xia Jingyan still knew the difficulty of Xin Tong's operation, if he had his own help, then the chance of success of the operation would be one point higher.

So in the second round of the competition, Xia Jingyan will deliberately lose, but he won't act too fake, otherwise he will feel sorry for Xivia and other classmates, after all, this is about the honor of magicians.

But in Xia Jingyan's heart, it is still Xintong's matter that is more important, and the competition will make the students try their best.

The first match began quickly, and the first person to take the field was Yakos, and the opponent was a swordsman with a giant epee named Li Xiang.

Xia Jingyan looked very seriously, he wanted to understand the attack characteristics of the warrior, every game can help him sum up the experience, and this person may also be his opponent later, although he thinks that Yakos is more likely to win. Because in terms of current strength, Yakos is the strongest of the twenty people.

As soon as the battle was about to break out, the opposing warrior looked directly at Yakos with his heavy sword after the referee announced the start of the match.

However, since Li Xiang was a epee warrior, his movement speed was not extremely fast, which gave Yakos time to counteract the opponent's actions.

Yakos urged his own magic and used his own earth element magic, and then a lot of stone pillars appeared on the ground of the arena, and the stone pillars rushed out from under Li Xiang's feet, but Li Xiang did not dodge, and directly lifted the heavy sword in his hand and slashed at the stone pillar, the stone pillar continued to collapse under Li Xiang's slashing, and Li Xiang also kept getting close to Yakos under such an attack.

Yakos thought to himself that the warrior's physical strength was really strong, and he didn't expect to smash these stone pillars so easily. So Yakes immediately changed his formation, and the original stone pillar form suddenly changed, turning into sharp cones and stabbing towards Li Xiang.

The audience present also let out a series of exclamations after seeing such magic, after all, some of them had never seen such an attack method, and they were subconsciously worried about the warriors of their country.

Li Xiang didn't dare to directly hit the sharp spur in the face of this sharp thrust, but chose to jump to the side, Yakes thought to himself that although this guy was domineering, his defensive ability should not be very strong.

But in the next second, Li Xiang jumped up directly and slashed towards Yakos, who saw this and directly released a magic shield to resist.

The heavy sword landed directly on Yakos's magic shield, and due to the great potential energy accumulated in the fall, Yakos's magic shield was even cracked.

Li Xiang looked at Yakos with a smug smile, if this continues, Li Xiang will inevitably break through Yakos's magic shield and directly slash Yakos's body with a sword.

Yakos naturally knew it, so he directly summoned a magic array in front of him, and shot a large amount of gravel from the magic array to attack Li Xiang directly.

Li Xiang immediately dodged to the side, he didn't want to be bruised and swollen by these gravels.

Seeing this, Li Xiang directly used the giant sword in his hand to slash and shoot down the gravel in front of him one by one, but because there were too many of them, Li Xiang was a little tired of coping, at this moment, Li Xiang directly waved his heavy sword, and a wide sword qi quickly slashed out, and the majestic sword qi directly dispersed Yakos's ability to control these gravels, and all the gravel was shot down by this sword qi.

Then Li Xiang slashed at Yakos with two more sword qis, Yakes could even see the entities of these two sword qis, and they rushed towards Yakos at an extremely fast speed.

Yakos immediately summoned a heavy stone wall in front of him, because considering that his magic shield had just barely resisted the opponent's heavy sword swing, Yakos directly used the stone wall to resist.

Sure enough, the stone wall did not hold up under the attack of these two sword qis, but directly shattered, but it also dissolved all the potential energy of the opponent's sword qi, and the sword qi swung by Li Xiang dissipated directly after smashing the stone wall without the motivation to continue to attack.

But at the moment when the stone wall shattered, Yakos was startled, and he found that the other party had rushed in front of him. Li Xiang jumped up, and the heavy sword slashed at Yakos again, and Yakes hurriedly manipulated the earth element to block Li Xiang's movements.

The earth element directly controlled Li Xiang, but Li Xiang directly released his fighting spirit and broke through the blockade of Yakos.

Yacos was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly moved behind to avoid the opponent's attack.

Li Xiang was unforgiving, and his uninterrupted attacks continued to attack Yakos, who had to defend and dodge at the same time.

In such a battle, it is almost impossible to exhaust the mana or fighting spirit of one side and end the match, and the winner is usually decided before then.

While dodging, Yakos is constantly looking for the opponent's weakness. Finally it occurred to Yakos that the opponent was defending by constantly attacking, and as long as he limited his movements, he should be able to win.

Thinking of this, Yakes immediately released a confinement magic array, but Li Xiang obviously saw the ability of Yakes's formation, and immediately dodged to the side.

Taking this opportunity, Yakos opened up his position with Li Xiang, and then he controlled the earth elements on the field to continuously attack Li Xiang, and Li Xiang also continued to use heavy swords to crack these earth elements one by one.

At that moment, Yacos smiled smugly.

In the next second, Li Xiang found that he couldn't move, Li Xiang was shocked, and then looked at his feet, it turned out that he didn't know when, he stepped on the other party's confinement magic array arranged here.

Li Xiang wanted to break free by relying on his fighting spirit, but in the next second, a large number of stone cones firmly surrounded Li Xiang.

Li Xiang saw this scene and gave up resistance directly, although he still had the strength to fight, but as long as he was fighting, these conical stone pillars would penetrate his body, and Li Xiang had no choice but to admit defeat.

After the referee announced the winner, Yakos evacuated the cone-shaped stone pillars surrounding Li Xiang, and the earth elementals he summoned above the arena disappeared.

After the game, the two walked up to each other and shook hands, after all, friendship comes first, competition is second, and the two countries are allies after all.
