Chapter 49: The Ring Tournament Begins
The news of Ling Xi's return did not cause a sensation in Sunset Academy for too long, because compared to the news of his return, another news that attracted more attention from Sunset students was that the Sunset Academy's ring match was about to open.
The ring battle is an event set up by Sunset Academy in order to test the cultivation results of students for half a year, this is an opportunity for most mathematicians to show their strength, not only to enhance their reputation in the academy, but also to be favored by the teachers of the academy, for the students under the C and D sects, this is an opportunity for them to advance to the B or even the A door, although it is not easy to advance, but there are always one or two dark horses every year who are successfully promoted.
On the day of the opening of the ring battle, the venue of the Sunset Academy was crowded with people, and the noise was endless, and the people present included the teachers and students of the Sunset Academy, as well as some people who watched the ring battle in Sunset City, and there were more than 30,000 people before and after, which shows the popularity of the ring battle.
Shi Zhuxue pulled Ling Xi all the way into the audience, and the others intuitively stood aside when they saw that it was Shi Zhuxue, so they also got a front position.
In fact, Ling Xi didn't have much interest in the ring battle, if he didn't have a gambling contract with Zhang Mo, he didn't want to join in the excitement.
Ling Xi looked at the highest audience, most of the people sitting there were people with heads and faces in Sunset City, such as Li Yulei, the head of the Silver Lion Beast Hunting Regiment, who was also sitting there, and next to him were the two sisters Li Shuangyun and Li Shuangyu.
In fact, Shi Zhuxue also had a place above, but she didn't go at all, but chose to sit in the audience seat below with Ling Xi.
Ling Xi probably looked at it, most of the people on the high platform were people he didn't know, but there were four people he had looked at a few more times, and these four people were the four great earth seals of Sunset City.
The four great seals are Zeng Ping and Zeng Fan, the two deans of Sunset Academy, Luo Wufeng, the city lord of Sunset City, and Wang Fengyun, the head of the royal family.
Although the names of the two deans of the Sunset Students have ordinary meanings, no one dares to underestimate these two deans, among them, Zeng Fan is still comparable to a small Fanzun in the early stage of Haodiyin, and it is precisely because he is Li Shuangyun's master that the palace does not dare to force the silver lion too much, which shows how terrifying the strength of these two is.
The person to the left of the two deans looked like a famous Confucian scholar, but Ling Xi knew that this person was Luo Wufeng, the city lord of Sunset City, and Luo Wufeng could be recognized by the Hongling Empire to become the city lord of Sunset City, and he must not be an ordinary person.
And the person to the right of the two deans is naturally Wang Fengyun, the head of the palace, Wang Fengyun has a fierce and vicious look, and it seems that he is a very difficult person to get along with.
However, Ling Xi didn't dare to underestimate Wang Fengyun, because he could feel that the aura on Wang Fengyun's body was much more stable than the other three, if he wanted to say who would advance to the middle stage of the Haodi Seal first, it would definitely be Wang Fengyun.
At this time, Ling Xi also guessed that the day when Wang Fengyun advanced to the middle stage of the Haodi Seal, I am afraid that it would be the time when Wang Fengyun made a move against the City Lord's Mansion.
However, what made Ling Xi find interesting was the names of Luo Wufeng and Wang Fengyun, one was called Wufeng and the other was Fengyun, did it indicate that only one of these two people could exist.
"Zhuxue, are you going to participate in the ring later?"
After Ling Xi saw it, he talked to Shi Zhuxue.
"There was no one in the third grade who was enough for me to fight, and no one dared to fight me. ”
Shi Zhuxue shook her head, looking a pity that she had no opponent.
"Can't you be humble?"
For Shi Zhuxue's words, Ling Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
As for the third year in Shi Zhuxue's mouth, Sunset Academy is very clear, this year's freshmen are all in the first grade, and then they will rise by one grade a year, if the students of Sunset Academy break through to the vertical and horizontal seal within three years, then they can be recommended by the academy to participate in the elite conference of the Hongling Empire, and they will also have the opportunity to enter the highest level of the Hongling Empire Imperial Academy to study.
Ling Xi had heard that the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion was studying at the Imperial Academy, and Li Shuangyu's sister Li Shuangyun would not be able to enter the Imperial Academy until after this year's elite conference.
"I heard Sister Shuangyu say that Brother Ling Xi has a trick to fight against the middle stage of Haodi Yin, why don't we have a fight?"
Shi Zhuxue looked at Ling Xi, and there was a little more evil smile between her eyebrows.
"I'm not coming, who knows how good you are. ”
Ling Xi didn't dare to underestimate Shi Zhuxue, although he still couldn't see Shi Zhuxue's strength clearly, but he knew very well that Shi Zhuxue would not be weaker than him, only stronger than him.
"Coward. ”
Shi Zhuxue pursed her lips.
Ling Xi smiled:
"Then you tell me what realm you are, and I'll fight you. ”
"Hmph, if you don't come, you won't come. ”
Shi Zhuxue snorted, obviously not wanting to say what realm she was.
While Ling Xi and Shi Zhuxue were chatting, the high platform was also lively.
Most people were talking and laughing with Wang Fengyun, but Luo Wufeng's side seemed a little deserted, which made Luo Wufeng's face somewhat ugly.
At this time, Li Yulei said:
"Thank you to Lord Luo City for this time, otherwise the silver lion really doesn't know what to do. ”
"It's just a gesture, Brother Li is serious. ”
Li Wanlei's face looked better, he looked at Li Shuangyun and Li Shuangyu beside Li Wanlei, and said:
"Brother Li's two daughters are not only as good as immortals, but even their talents are also of the highest rank, and they will definitely be able to enter the Imperial Academy in the future. ”
"The Lord of Los Angeles has an overreputation. ”
Li Shuangyun nodded politely, but Li Shuangyu's eyes were on Ling Xi from beginning to end, and she didn't care about what the people around her were talking about, or Li Shuangyun touched her, and she came back to her senses.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Li Yulei's eyes, and he said with a smile:
"Where, where is the young city lord can be regarded as a dragon among people. ”
Although Li Yulei said so, in his heart, I am afraid that only Ling Xi can be called the dragon among people, not only is his talent against the sky, but also let Li Shuangyu's talent follow him into the heavenly level, otherwise Li Shuangyu would not have been able to advance to the late stage of Xuanyuan Yin so quickly, but he is also worried about this, if Li Shuangyu continues to cultivate at this speed, he will definitely be seen in the future.
"Head Li, last time I was impulsive and caused the misunderstanding between the palace and the silver lion, I will definitely come to apologize in person another day, and I will also compensate for the damage of the silver lion. ”
Seeing that Li Wanlei and Luo Wufeng were chatting hotly, Wang Fengyun couldn't help but interject.
Regarding Wang Fengyun's joining, Luo Wufeng frowned and said with a smile:
"What can cause this misunderstanding, Brother Fengyun, it's better to hear it. ”
"It's just a small thing, it's not worth mentioning. ”
Wang Fengyun didn't smile, although he has been recruiting people for the position of the city lord recently, and the city lord's mansion must also know, but he still can't put this matter on the surface, because the Hongling Empire has said that it can do it to the city lord's mansion regardless of the palace, but one thing is that their palace can't do it too blatantly, otherwise the Hongling Empire will not be easy to explain to the world.
"I don't think so. ”
Of course, Luo Wufeng knew what Wufeng Feng was planning, so there was a bit of sarcasm in his words.
Li Fanglei just watched and didn't speak, because this involved the position of the city lord, of course he could not speak without speaking.
"Everyone, please be quiet, and let me say a few words. ”
When Luo Wufeng and Wang Fengyun were about to quarrel, Zeng Ping stood up, Luo Wufeng and Wang Fengyun stopped, and after the two of them quieted down, Zeng Ping began to talk about the speech before the ring as usual.
It didn't take long for this speech to finish, and Zeng Ping finished speaking in a short time.
Then Zeng Fan stood up and announced:
"Now I announce, the Sunset Academy Ring Battle starts now!"
As soon as the words ended, there was a commotion in the crowd below, and everyone was excited on their faces, obviously confident that they would show off their skills in the ring.
