"Wait, what are you talking about?" Politics was confused, "Why did you lose half of your research all of a sudden?"

Xiao Fan meant this. "Twelve teams, divided into three groups, we don't know for sure which group we will be in, but according to past practice, two of the six super houses will be assigned to each group, and our goal is to finish third in the group ranking......"

"That's not right!" Politics jumped out and questioned, "The third place didn't get a place in the Super Academy!"

"But the third place has the qualifications to challenge!" Luo Fan explained, "Our goal is to get a place in the Super Academy of Ethereal Academy, not other Super Academies. Each of the three empires has two super colleges, which is a balance, and we have no intention of breaking that balance, and if we try our best to get the top two, it means that we will definitely face the challenge of a super house, and it is not the best strategy for us to expose our hole cards early. ”

"I see!" Politics nodded, "So, our goal in the group stage is not to win the Super Academy, but to win at least one game, finish third, and then challenge the Ethereal Academy?"

"That's good!" Luo Fan nodded, "We can't be sure if we will be in a group with the Heavenly Sounds Academy, in that case, it is better to give up the top two in the group and only study the other five first-class academies." As long as we get a win, it will be enough to ensure that we qualify for the challenge, and then we can challenge the Ethereal Academy in the open, rather than fighting the Super Academy in the group stage. ”

"That's right!" King Ming nodded, "In that case, everyone should adjust their state here and wait quietly for the next academy qualifying match!"

"I think you're too optimistic, right?" Meng Han couldn't help it, "Bright Sword smashed those people outside the city, you don't want to think about what you'll face next?"

"We thought of it. Liang Jian stood up, "Senior Niang, if we weren't worried about this unexpected situation that would come out at any time, how could we be willing to compete for the third place!"

"That's right!" King Ming nodded, "Fighting for third place means we only need to get one victory, and that's it." If you think, we can all defeat this academy, then they have no chance against the super academy. ”

————————————————

In the center of the Xigeng capital, the most extensive area is naturally the imperial palace of the Xigeng Empire.

At this moment, the eldest prince no longer has the arrogance outside the city, and he kneels on the ground honestly.

In the center of the main hall, a man with a majestic face was roaring.

"Yes! Ability! The sword is shadowless! The dignified prince of the empire, the court is wide, and the army of millions is forced to kneel on the ground! Do you still have the demeanor of a royal child? Ah? Are you telling me that you have given up the inheritance of the empire?"

"Father and emperor go up again, the child doesn't dare!" The eldest prince was frightened and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Don't dare, why do I think you're bold?" the Emperor snorted coldly and sneered, "The prince of the empire is colluding with the Northern Underworld family! colluding with the Shangguan family! What do you think? Once they support you to ascend to the throne, what confidence do you have to check and balance a super family?"

"Father, the child did not collude......"

"Do you dare to quibble?" the Emperor was furious, "My eyes are not blind yet! Although the empire has not explicitly forbidden to get involved in this matter, the fourth, eighth, twelfth, and fourteenth children all stay in the mansion and do not come out, but you are the oldest and the most brainy!"

"Father's anger!" The eldest prince was full of remorse, and he secretly hated the bright sword.

"You've disappointed me so much!" the Emperor said heavily, "It's just life and death, and the other party doesn't dare to really do it, even if it does, what can you do?"

"Father!" the emperor climbed a few steps forward, and then knocked his head on the ground and sobbed, "Father, it's not that the child is reluctant, it's really the child who has to kneel, and the other party has the God Slaughtering Yuan Sword in his hand!"

"What?" the Emperor was stunned, "what did you say?"

"The other party has the God Slaughter Yuan Knife in his hand!" the eldest prince repeated, "No matter how bad the child is, he will not fail to recognize this divine object, under the circumstances at that time, the child did not dare to deny that this thing was not the God Slaughter Yuan Sword, because, except to kneel, there is no other way." Even the head of the Northern Hell family and the prime minister of Shangguan knelt down because of this. ”

"Impossible!" the Emperor's eyes widened, "The God Slaughtering Yuan Sword has always existed in the harem, how could it appear in someone else's hands inexplicably!"

"Father!" the eldest prince said seriously, "The child is sure, that is the God Slaughtering Yuan Sword!"

"Get up!" the Emperor let out a sigh of relief and waved his hand, "Go, follow me!"

The eldest prince hurriedly got up from the ground and obediently followed behind the emperor.

The two of them hurried all the way, and soon came to a palace behind the palace.

"This is the Treasure Pavilion. The Great Emperor whispered to the Great Prince, "Inside is the tens of thousands of years of treasures of my Xigeng Empire, and the God Slaughtering Yuan Knife has been placed inside, let's go check it out." ”

The emperor retreated left and right, and then led the prince into the treasure pavilion.

The eldest prince's heart is full of excitement, the treasure pavilion has always been mysterious, the children of the royal family, except for the contemporary emperor, the rest of the people are not qualified to enter, and now they are lucky enough to come in, does it mean that the father values himself?

Walking through the hall all the way, the Great Emperor stopped in front of a secret room and turned around, "This is where the God Slaughtering Yuan Sword is placed. After finishing speaking, the emperor took a closer look, then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and complained, "There is no trace of touching the secret room, it seems that you were bluffed by the other party!"

"Can't be!" the eldest prince was dumbfounded, "Even if the child is bluffed, it is impossible for the head of the Northern Hells family and the prime minister of Shangguan to be bluffed!"

"You guys!" the emperor hated that iron could not become steel, "acting too impetuously!"

"Why don't you go in and check it out in person?"

"In that case, I'll go check it out!" the Emperor thought for a moment and nodded, then stepped forward, fiddled back and forth in front of the secret room, and whispered, "Open!"

"Keng!" a stone door flashed out of the secret room, and the emperor turned around and admonished, "Go, come in with me!"

"Yes!" the eldest prince forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly followed.

The secret room is not big, the radius is about five zhang, in the center of the secret room, there is a stone table, on the stone table, there is a stone platform on each side, the middle is slightly sunken, it looks like the place where the yuan is placed.

On the stone platform, it is empty!

"This ...... This ......" the eldest prince was dumbfounded, "Father, where is the God Slaughtering Yuan Sword?"

"Alas!" the Emperor let out a heavy sigh, "Let's go, let's go out first!"

Soon, the two returned to the main hall, and after the emperor sat down, he said to the eldest prince seriously, "That secret room, from the outside, there is not the slightest trace of touch, it can only show that the person who came to take away the God Slaughtering Yuan Knife must be the existence of the Venerable!"

"Beyond Venerable?" the eldest prince was stunned for a moment, stretched out his finger and pointed upward, "Isn't that ......"

"Be cautious!" the Emperor glared, "You and I just know it!"

"But!" said the eldest prince hurriedly, "why did he hand over such a heavy weapon to an outsider?"

"No!" the Emperor shook his head, "No matter what, that person is also from my royal family, not to mention that no matter how you say it, the empire is not easy to be the lord is the iron law of the common respect of the mainland, don't think nonsense!"

"Then what are we going to do next?" said the eldest prince depressedly.

"Don't let us do us!" the Emperor snorted coldly, "You are being used, and it has nothing to do with the empire or the royal family, don't expect me to make a move!"

"Yes! Yes!" said the eldest prince.

"A piece of advice for you!" the Emperor's eyes widened, "The academy qualifying tournament is not the qualifying tournament of my Xigeng Empire, you must remember that everyone is paying attention, and during the qualifying tournament, you are not allowed to do anything again!

"Yes!" the eldest prince hurriedly bowed his head.

"Stand down! I need to think about it!" the Emperor waved his hand.

"Son's resignation!" said the eldest prince respectfully.

The Great Prince withdrew from the main hall, leaving the Great Emperor alone to sit in place, his face cloudy, and after a long time, the Great Emperor let out a heavy sigh.

Not to mention what the eldest prince will arrange, at least before the academy qualifying, he will live in peace for a while.

Fast forward to two months later.

On this day, Luo Fan and Xi'er were whispering in the room, since they said that they wanted to hide it, Luo Fan naturally couldn't show up, so he had to stay in the room.

The others were also chatting with each other in the hall, and the qualifying match was imminent, so everyone was not in a hurry to comprehend the way of Yuan Li, and began to adjust their state.

"Okay!" King Ming and Menghan came back from outside, and when they came in, they said, "Go to the room, the group has come out!"

Everyone was shocked, and quickly gathered in Luo Fan's room, and after they were seated, King Ming coughed and said slowly, "The three groups have been grouped." The Royal Academy of the Xigeng Empire, the Lieyan Academy of the Lieyan Empire, the Jianyuan Academy of the Qingyun Empire, and the Taichang Academy of the Lieyan Empire were divided together. ”

"Haha!" Qiu Feng gloated, "Xiao Ying, your brother is in trouble over there!"

"There's no way!" Xiao Cai smiled and shook his head, "Besides, anyway, they don't have the idea of promotion." ”

"In addition, the Royal Academy of the Lieyan Empire and the Tianlai Academy are separated, and in addition, there are two first-class academies of the Xigeng Empire, Yongda and Chengjia. King Ming continued.

This shows that Ethereal Academy has basically won the top two. Luo Fan said in a deep voice, "Chengjia and Yongda have almost no ability to pose a threat to Tianlai. ”

"That's good!" King Ming nodded and said in one breath, "Finally, it's our Shattered Star Academy, and we are separated from the Qingyun Empire Royal Academy, the Xigeng Empire's Dust Academy, and the Lieyan Empire's Qingyuan Academy. ”
