Chapter 169 Before the game
Just as all the participating students checked in.
Kyoto Prefecture, Extraordinary Education Bureau.
A conference room.
Three people were seated in the main seat.
From left to right: Jiang Sheng, the principal of Daxia Academy, an eighth-realm expert; Lu Youlin, the minister of the Extraordinary Education Department, a seventh-realm expert; and Dongfang Shouzheng, a high-ranking member of the Demon Suppression Army, also a seventh-realm expert.
Below sat a dozen or so people, all of whom were the presidents or vice presidents of the eight universities.
"Thump, thump!~~"
"Enter."
Ning Xing pushed open the door and led Zhong Wen inside.
"Ning Xing is here, please take a seat."
Jiang Sheng spoke first: "We have received the notification that the students from Qinglong Academy will arrive tomorrow morning and attend the opening ceremony in the afternoon."
Their students are quite formidable; what are your thoughts?
The university presidents remained silent, looking at Ning Xing.
Unfortunately, none of their academy's level 6 extraordinary talent students had opened the Three Core Formations, so they had no advantage against the Qinglong Academy students and were likely no match for them.
We can only place our hopes on Dongfang Xuan and Xiao Weiqing.
Ning Xing said solemnly, "Xiao Weiqing will take first place."
"Ning Xing, are you serious?"
The principals were taken aback. A month ago, after the discovery of Civilization Relic No. 1, they all knew that Luojiang Academy had produced a prodigy who had surpassed many other geniuses to win the final reward of the relic.
At that time, Xiao Weiqing was at the second realm and third core, but as Dongfang Xuan also broke through to the second realm and third core, it was still up for debate who was stronger between the two.
Jiang Sheng said, "It's not enough for Xiao Weiqing to have opened the three cores. There are two Level 6 students in the Azure Dragon Academy who have opened the three cores. Under the same cultivation level, Xiao Weiqing is probably no match for them."
Ning Xing said, "Xiao Weiqing obtained a companion weapon within the ruins. Half a month ago, I gave him 200 units of divine essence to nurture the divine weapon."
"I see." Lu Youlin nodded.
With a second-stage cultivation level, three core pills, and an accompanying weapon, he could indeed fight against the geniuses of the Azure Dragon Academy.
Lu Youlin added, "The Azure Dragon Temple is being so high-profile this time, they probably have something in mind. We can't lose to them in the exchange competition, otherwise they might use this as an opportunity to cause trouble."
"They dare? Don't they know where they are?"
The voice of Dongfang Shouzheng, who sat in the main seat, was loud and authoritative, exuding authority without anger.
Xia Sheng said, "We must be on guard. I suspect they're here for the Azure Dragon Divine Stele. There are only a few years left in the eighty-year period."
At this moment, Dongfang Shouzheng said, "The Azure Dragon Divine Stele cannot be returned."
"Of course, the Azure Dragon Divine Stele will not be returned, but now that the Great Xia Dynasty no longer has Dongfang Hao, we have to find a way." Lu Youlin's words seemed somewhat helpless.
Dongfang Shouzheng frowned and fell silent.
Lu Youlin asked, "Shouzheng, how is Bai Chen now?"
Dongfang Shouzhen replied, "Ninth Brother is preparing for his second attempt to break through to the Ninth Realm."
"Tell Bai Chen not to rush, take it slow."
"Sigh, it's because we old guys are useless; we put too much pressure on Bai Chen."
Xia Sheng and Lu Youlin are both nearly a hundred years old, two generations older than Dongfang Shouzheng and Ning Xing. They have fought all their lives and are covered in injuries and illnesses, which have damaged their very foundation, so their strength can no longer be improved.
Nowadays, there are more and more entrances to the Demon Realm. The entrances to the Demon Realm that were established decades ago have gradually stabilized. Sooner or later, the demon race will attack Blue Star. They do not believe that the emergence of the Azure Dragon Temple is a coincidence.
"Elder Lu, please don't say that. It is we younger generation who are ashamed. With such good cultivation conditions nowadays, no one has yet broken through to the ninth realm."
"It's not your fault. In the hundred years since the spiritual energy has recovered, only Dongfang Hao has broken through to the ninth realm. Apart from the major temples, no one knows how to break through to the ninth realm."
Speaking of which...
Dongfang Shouzhen also frowned. The reason why their Dongfang family could become the undisputed number one family in Great Xia, and even Blue Star, was because of the rise of Dongfang Hao.
The man who was originally unknown, but after his extraordinary awakening, suppressed all kinds of geniuses, broke through to the ninth realm at the age of thirty, and even attacked the temple, remains a mystery to this day.
Even the records left by their family contain very little information about him, because Dongfang Hao grew up too fast and disappeared suddenly.
Only Xia Sheng and Lu Youlin's generation knew some of Dongfang Hao's deeds and were certain that he had indeed broken through to the ninth realm. Otherwise, even Dongfang Shouzhen himself doubted whether his great-grandfather had really entered the ninth realm.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat heavy for a moment.
"There's no need for everyone to act like this. These people can't cause any trouble in Kyoto Prefecture," Lu Youlin said. "However, we can't let the Qinglong Academy people be too high-profile. It would be detrimental to our next plan. If they behave themselves, that's fine. But if they take the opportunity to cause trouble, I'm afraid they've miscalculated. Great Xia is not the Great Xia of a hundred years ago."
Let's not talk about this anymore.
"By the way, Ning Xing, do you need to study the Azure Dragon Divine Stele this time?"
Ning Xing shook his head: "Comprehending the Azure Dragon Stele is not very meaningful to me now."
Lu Youlin nodded, "Okay, let me know in advance if needed."
"Thank you, Professor Lu."
Then everyone discussed some details of the exchange competition before dispersing.
......
1 month 14 number.
in the afternoon.
At the entrance of Daxia Academy.
Overcrowded.
"Holy crap, are you kidding me? There are so many people?" Fei Xiaobao complained.
Qin Tian said, "Stop complaining, hurry up and go through the players' entrance."
"The organizers should have just arranged for us to stay at the Great Xia University."
"Fatty is right, it saves us from running back and forth," Zhuang Yu agreed.
Fei Xiaobao said, "You misunderstood me. Living at Daxia Academy will allow you to meet more senior female students."
"..."
Regular passage.
"Hey, don't push, don't push, you're stepping on my foot."
"The young lady has arrived, get out of the way!"
"I'm a member of the Ye family, let me go first."
"Get the hell out of here."
"My father, Zhang Sanhe, asked me to go first."
"..."
Countless scions of prominent families came to join in the fun.
The national exchange competition has always been closed to the public, but this time it broke with precedent by not only being broadcast live within the Extraordinary Universities across the country, but also allowing ordinary people to enter the competition venue.
but.
While they claim to be ordinary people, those who actually get in are all people with names, backgrounds, and connections.
It took the group from Luojiang Academy over a great deal of effort to squeeze into the contestant passage, a distance of less than 500 meters.
In front of the players' tunnel.
All participants swiped their passes, making the passage much faster than the regular lane.
"Hmm? Those two are also contestants?"
Fei Xiaobao swiped his pass to enter when two people suddenly cut in line at the next entrance.
These two were clearly much older than them, approaching 30 years old.
It should be noted that even Jiang Peng could only use other ordinary channels.
The guards maintaining order nearby ignored it, though a hint of resentment flashed in their eyes.
Fei Xiaobao asked, "Doesn't this matter?"
The guard looked somewhat embarrassed and smiled, "This contestant, I apologize, it was our lack of preparation. We have already reported it, and this situation will definitely not happen again."
Xiao Weiqing led everyone to swipe their wristbands and said to the staff, "Thank you for your hard work."
The soldier was taken aback, then replied, "It's no trouble at all, no trouble at all."
"let's go."
After passing through the gates of the Great Xia Academy, a girl led them to a hover train.
"You can get off at the final stop."
"Thanks."
Xiao Weiqing said.
