Early the next morning, Yu Yue was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Yu Yue, come out quickly, Feiling is back!"

"Dude hasn't slept yet...... Ahh

When they arrived at the Wind and Rain Pavilion, Fei Ling and Zilong had been chatting for a long time, and when they saw Yu Yue coming, everyone immediately greeted them.

"Brother Feiling, buddy is going to die! you have to save me!" Yu Yue howled all the way into the door and pounced on Feiling, "That broken futon is not strong, it is broken into slag, what can I do......"

"Brother Feiling, you can think of a way!" Zilong also looked at Feiling expectantly, "Now Yu Yue hasn't completed the oath, the knockout tournament is about to start, and the oath deadline is approaching, what can I do!"

"Wait, don't worry, take your time......" Fei Ling pushed away Yu Yue, who was dragging him tightly, "Let's talk about what happened first, how could the futon break?"

When Yu Yuezhi's face was red, he told the truth of the matter, and everyone was speechless for a while.

"You, you can't live if you do your own evil!" Zilong couldn't cry or laugh, this futon was actually kicked and broken, I really don't know what Yu Yue did to hide it from himself.

"Woo...... Brother Fei Ling said that it was a Tianbao, I think it should be very strong!"

"You! I only said that its efficacy is not inferior to Tianbao, not that its quality is better than Tianbao!"

"What can I do now?" Zilong didn't have a good breath, "Now in such a short time, can there still be a chance?"

"What chance?" Fei Ling glanced at Yu Yue carefully, and suddenly showed a strange expression.

"Ah, Brother Feiling, he made an oath to break through to the realm of gathering spirits, and now he is ...... Huh?"

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Yue shrank slightly, and he suddenly found that several people around him were staring at him, "Don't, don't! Hitting a buddy doesn't work, don't look at me like this......"

"Yu Yue......" Zilong swallowed his saliva, "You broke through?"

......

Months of preparation time flew by, and since Yu Yue inexplicably broke through the Gathering Spirit that night, the entire Dragon and Tiger team was inexplicably excited. The long-awaited Empire Knockout has finally begun!

After a series of tests in the inner courtyard, Zilong, Yu Yue, Chunjie, and Feiling, the only four students in the Inner Courtyard who gathered the spirit realm, will represent the entire Xingyu Academy to participate in this competition, and in addition to them, there are also three spirit building realm students who have also been qualified to participate.

It is worth mentioning that Fei Ling still suppressed his spiritual power at the peak realm of gathering spirits, and he didn't know what he was planning.

For Zilong, the only regret was that Elder Xu couldn't personally cheer for them, and Yuan Li, the vice president of the Inner Court, took Elder Xu's place and was now bidding them farewell as the dean of the Xingyu Academy.

"A few little guys, the previous explanation is already clear, right?" Yuan Da Fat still had an inherent smile, "The strength of four of you has reached the realm of gathering spirits, looking at our Dongchen Empire, we are all among the best, and this is also the strongest lineup in the history of our Star Academy! I hope you can all enter the imperial team, so that Elder Xu's spirit in the sky can rest in peace!"

"Don't worry, Dean Yuan, we won't disappoint the academy, we won't disappoint Elder Xu!" Zilong's tone was extremely firm, this time the four members of the Dragon and Tiger Team went out on behalf of Xingyu Academy, and as the captain of the Dragon and Tiger Team, while being happy in his heart, he also secretly felt a lot of pressure.

Even though the knockout rounds are one-on-one, he still hopes that all four members of his team will be promoted to the Imperial team. Feiling's strength didn't need to worry about anything, so for a long time before, Zilong had pulled Chunjie to practice to the death, but Yu Yue took the opportunity to hide again, and Zilong couldn't do anything about him.

The knockout tournament is held in the imperial capital of Chenxing, a quadrennial event that is attended by almost all the leading figures of the empire. In addition to the disciples who participated in the selection, each academy will also send many disciples to watch the battle, and this kind of experience is also very valuable.

The Dongchen Empire is only a small empire, and the age limit for the knockout round is under eighteen years old, so most of the students participating are in the Spirit Gathering Realm, but there are also many geniuses in the Spirit Gathering Realm.

Although they know that they are not the opponents of the students of the Gathering Spirit Realm, there are still many low-realm students who are willing to participate in the knockout round, hoping to improve themselves under the pressure of actual combat.

In this way, there is a difficult situation, no matter how high or low the cultivation is, the students hope to play, but there are so many people in the entire empire, won't the fight be endless, so the empire gave two countermeasures.

First, each academy can only select up to three disciples to participate in the competition, and second, all students who have reached the Gathering Spirit Realm can directly sign up for the elimination competition, without the first restriction.

In this way, with four Spirit Gathering Realm disciples, Xingyu Academy can send seven disciples to participate in the competition in one go! However, everyone understands that the other three disciples are just foils, and the academy has to count on Zilong and them.

"More than two hundred students participated!" Yu Yue looked at the information in his hand and smacked his tongue, "I didn't expect that there are so many academies in our empire, large and small, but our Xingyu Academy is still the most powerful among them, and there are four Gathering Spiritual Cultivators!"

The students participating in the competition were arranged in a special residence in the imperial capital, usually one room for each college, for three people. Like Xingyu Academy, only a few of the seven people participated in the competition after all, and Xingyu Academy was directly divided into three rooms, and the four of Zilong were gathered in a separate room.

In addition to the four of them, there was also a lazy white cat lying in the house to sleep, which Yu Yue brought all the way.

"Most of them are just foils," Zilong has been excited since he arrived here, "There are only about twenty students in the Spirit Gathering Realm, and that is our opponent." ”

"But it's quite reasonable that the competitions in different realms are separated. Chunjie also studied the rules of the competition.

The whole competition is divided into two parts, the first part is the student competition of the Spirit Realm, and the event is a combination of group battles and one-on-one. First, all students will be randomly drawn and divided into 10 teams, and through 10 group battles, two winners will be selected in each game, and the selected 20 students will be ranked in the wheel battle. The top three students receive Imperial Rewards and qualify for two Cross-Border Challenges.

The second part is one of the few Gathering Spirit Realm student competitions, and the event is directly a one-on-one wheel battle ranking, and the top five will directly qualify for the Imperial team.

Of course, because the top three students in the Spirit Realm have two chances to continue the challenge, they can try the cross-border challenge, and if they can challenge the top five students in the Spirit Gathering Realm, they can also qualify for the Imperial Team, but this situation has never happened so far.

"Every game has a rest period, and it will take a lot of time to get down this wheel battle!But since it's a wheel battle, we all have to fight? I don't pay attention to anyone else except Brother Feiling!" Zilong grinned, "I haven't had a killer weapon all the time!"

"Hehe, Brother Zilong, if I had served you before, what ...... now" Chunjie also smiled, "Who said I wouldn't have a killer feature?"

"Okay, you all have killer features, just my best!" Yu Yue was depressed when he heard this, although he broke through, his talent was not very suitable for one-on-one combat, "But buddy, I may not be able to come from time to time!"

"Don't be afraid, you just need to grind for enough time!" Several people listened to daxiao.

Each match has a time limit, and if a strong offensive talent meets a non-strong offensive talent, as long as the time is up, there is still no winner, even if the non-strong offensive talent wins, which is very fair.

"Uh......h Do you look like your buddies are being beaten......"

"But Yu Yue, what are you doing with this cat all the way to the imperial capital? It's just an ordinary cat, aren't you just going to get a pet to play with?" Chun Jie looked at the white cat that was still lying down and sleeping, and asked curiously.

"Hey, hey, keep it secret!
