At night, the Heavenly Sword Academy sent someone to deliver a sumptuous dinner. At the same time, Liu Xinghun personally came to invite Perfected Xuan Yu and the other two away. In an instant, only the five participating disciples of the Yi Garden were left in the cave.
Looking at the dinner, Lin Yunfeng smiled and said,""It seems that the Heavenly Sword Academy is much richer than our Yi Garden. Look at these vegetables, they are much better than ours. It was good, but she didn't know if it suited her appetite. We came from a poor place. We can't eat too good food. Isn't that right, Lu Yun?”After saying that, he winked at Lu Yun and laughed strangely.
Lu Yun smiled indifferently. He knew that he was mocking the Heavenly Sword Academy on purpose. Lu Yun looked at the other three and saw that they were expressionless. She smiled and said,"You just love to talk nonsense. Hurry up and eat. When they hear it later, they will think that we dislike the food. He would have a good rest tonight and find an opportunity to look around tomorrow to understand more about her strengths. In the future, we will have a chance to surpass them, understand? Alright, don't say anything else. Hurry up and eat.”After saying that, she lowered her head and ate, ignoring Yun Feng. Yun Feng saw that the four of them were eating with their heads lowered and ignoring him. His face was also uninterested. He muttered a few words in a low voice and also began to eat.
Nothing happened that night. When Perfected Xuan Yu and the others returned, it was already late at night. That night, Perfected Xuan Yu did not reveal anything, and Perfected Zi Yang looked at Ling Chen and the others. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.
The next morning, Perfected Xuan Yu went to Tianxuan Cave alone again. Under Yun Feng's instructions, Lu Yun requested to go out for a walk with Immortal Zi Yang. Immortal Zi Yang glanced at Master Jingyue and nodded slightly.""Alright, it's good that you guys go and take a look together. Remember not to cause trouble. Everyone here is from the Sixth Campus. If you go out alone, you must not cause trouble. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Hierarch to talk to you.”
Lu Yun smiled." Don't worry, Master. We're just going out for a walk and taking a look at the scenery around us." At the same time, we can also look at the other five campus participants. That will be helpful for our competition tomorrow.”After saying that, Lin Yunfeng pulled her out.
Looking at the five of them, Perfected Zi Yang sighed and said,""In this competition, it looks like it will be very difficult for our Yi Garden to squeeze into the top few. We never thought that so many outstanding talents would appear in this year's Martial Competition of the Six Academies. It's really beyond our expectations.”
"Everything is destined," Master Jingyue said in a deep voice. This time, he hoped that one of them would be able to enter the top six. Who asked the Heavenly Sword Academy to produce six outstanding talents in a row this time? We've seen Jian Wuchen before. His cultivation is so profound that no one in the Yi Garden can compare to him. As for Ben Yi from Bodhi Academy, it was said that his cultivation was unfathomable. Looking at it this way, our Yi Garden's situation this time probably isn't very optimistic.”Perfected Zi Yang sighed and shook his head.
As soon as they left the Heavenly Fire Cave, Lin Yunfeng smiled and said,""This strange cave is really hot. No wonder it's called the Heavenly Fire Cave. Living inside is really uncomfortable. No wonder Martial Uncle is unhappy. Even I am angry. Senior Brothers and Sisters, where should we go now? We're not familiar with this place. It's best to find someone to lead the way.”
"You've already said it, why are you still asking everyone?" Lu Yun laughed. Hurry up and find someone to show us around. Aren't there six holes here? Let's go take a look at each one. Maybe we can meet the competitors from the other courtyards.”Li Hongfei glanced at Lu Yun and nodded slightly, but did not say anything. Lu Yun nodded slightly in response.
Zhang Aoxue looked at the large open space in front of the cave. There, countless disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy were cleaning up the place in preparation for tomorrow's martial arts competition. There were tables and stools placed around the venue so that the seniors and disciples of the various courtyards could sit and watch tomorrow. As cultivators basically stood against the wind, there was no need to build a high platform. They could directly compete in the air, which was convenient and time-saving.
When Lin Yunfeng returned, he was accompanied by a young disciple of the Heavenly Sword Academy. His name was Xiao Zhang, and he was very handsome. After everyone had exchanged their names, Xiao Zhang led everyone out. On the way, Little Zhang said," Our Heavenly Sword Academy has a total of six caves. Each cave is several miles apart. It takes a lot of time to walk slowly. He couldn't ride a flying sword here, but he could still ride the wind and use his lightness skill. Let's go to the Sky Wind Cave to take a look. Everyone, just follow me.”After saying that, his figure spread out, as fast as a swan, and in the blink of an eye, he was a thousand feet away. The speed of his movement technique shocked Lu Yun and the others. They had never thought that Lin Yunfeng would be so brilliant when he randomly picked a disciple from the Heavenly Sword Academy. This Heavenly Sword Academy really lived up to its reputation!
The five of them looked at each other and shouted at the same time. Their movement techniques were as fast as lightning, and they disappeared from the mountainside in an instant. Soon, the five of them followed behind Little Zhang and arrived at the Sky Wind Cave. There were also many disciples tidying up the venue to prepare for tomorrow's competition.
At the entrance of the Heavenly Wind Cave, six figures attracted the attention of Lu Yun and the others. Lin Yunfeng rolled his eyes and gently landed in front of the six people with a smile on his face. Looking at the six youths who were about the same age as him, Lin Yunfeng smiled and said,""Hello, I'm Lin Yunfeng from Yi Garden. I came out with my four senior brothers and sisters for a walk. I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm really happy. Which courtyard are you from?”In fact, he knew it in his heart, but he pretended not to know.
The six people from the Confucian Garden looked at Lin Yunfeng and the four approaching people. After sweeping their gazes over the four of them, they all stopped on Zhang Aoxue. Their six pairs of eyes revealed admiration. A handsome young man in white clothes, who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, said with a smile,"So you're my fellow disciples from the Yi Garden. We're disciples of the Confucian Garden. Nice to meet you. I'm Bi Tian, and these are my fellow disciples.”After saying that, both parties began to introduce each other's names. Everyone seemed very intimate.
After some introductions, Ling Chen finally knew the names of the six disciples of the Confucian Garden. Among them, there were three people that Ling Chen paid the most attention to. Apart from Bi Tian, there was Du Li, who was dressed in green and was dressed like a scholar. Gao Feng's silver robes fluttered in the wind, and his expression attracted Ling Chen's attention. Ling Chen looked at the other three. Their cultivations were extraordinary, but compared to these three, they were still far from being able to compare.
In the Yi Garden, because Li Hongfei was cold and arrogant, Zhang Aoxue was as cold as a fairy in the moon, and Ling Chen hadn't spoken much since coming to the Heavenly Sword Institute, everything was handled by Lu Yun and Lin Yunfeng. "Senior Brothers, you came yesterday, right? Why don't you go out for a walk?" Lu Yun asked with a smile. If the six senior brothers are willing, why don't you come with us and walk around?”After saying that, Lu Yun looked at the six of them with a smile. A strange look flashed across his eyes.
Bi Tian looked at the five of them, then glanced at Zhang Aoxue and said softly,""Since Junior Brother Lu has the heart, how can we refuse? However, in order to prevent the Sect Leader from worrying, I'll leave the three of you here. Du Li and Gao Feng will accompany you for a walk.”After saying that, he whispered a few words to the other three before walking forward with Lu Yun and slowly walking out.
Lin Yunfeng pulled Du Li and Gao Feng along, talking and laughing along the way. They seemed very happy. Zhang Aoxue floated in front, her beautiful figure attracting everyone's attention. Ling Chen thought to himself. Li Hongfei remained silent and walked at the back with a cold expression. He seemed a little lonely.
Bi Tian and Lu Yun walked together and asked softly,""It is said that your Yi Garden's junior sister Zhang Aoxue has a profound cultivation and is as beautiful as a fairy. After seeing it today, he knew that it was indeed well-deserved. In the entire Six Academies, perhaps only Junior Sister Cang Yue of the Phoenix Academy could stand shoulder to shoulder with her. When Junior Sister Cang Yue came today, the two of them would be like two jades in the world, two strange flowers in the cultivation world. Junior Martial Brother Lu, may I ask if Junior Martial Sister Aoxue has someone she likes?”Bi Tian looked straight into Lu Yun's eyes as if he was afraid that he would lie.
Lu Yun was stunned when she heard that. She looked at him and then shifted her gaze to that alluring figure. After a long time, Lu Yun said softly,"Senior Brother Bi's words have stumped me." Although I and senior sister Aoxue belong to Yi Garden, we rarely see each other a few times a year. Everyone is busy cultivating, so I don't know what you're asking about. If you want to know, you should find a chance to ask her yourself. I can't answer your question.”After saying that, he smiled apologetically and quickly followed Zhang Aoxue. Bi Tian's expression froze and his eyes became heated. He turned around and chased after her. When Ling Chen heard Bi Tian mention Cang Yue, her eyes flickered before returning to normal. However, Lu Yun noticed something strange. Lu Yun was curious, but she didn't ask.
Before long, the group of nine had already passed through the other four caves. "If we want to go to the mountainside, can you take us there?" Lu Yun asked Xiao Zhang.”
"I think we shouldn't do that." Xiao Zhang said awkwardly. Senior Martial Uncle Liu is there to receive the distinguished guests from the various courtyards. I'm afraid it won't be good for us to go there. If you want to meet the disciples of the other courtyards, you only need to wait at the fork in the road. This was because all the people who went up the mountain, no matter which cave they were arranged to rest in, had to pass through it. I'll take you there.”With that, he led the eight of them to the fork.
When they arrived at the fork, Lu Yun and the others were surprised to see that Immortal Zi Yang was there, accompanied by Xu Cang Hai, the Danqing Swordsman of the Confucian Garden. When the two of them saw Lu Yun and the others, they could not help but smile. After the two of them greeted each other, Sage Zi Yang smiled and said,""How did you two end up together? Did you meet each other halfway because you couldn't stand the loneliness?”
Lu Yun gently told him about the encounter between the two groups of people and then asked,"Master, why are you here? Didn't Martial Uncle Jingyue come?”
Danqing Swordsman Xu Canghai did not wait for Zi Yang to speak and interrupted,""Actually, I was bored, so I found your master and chatted for a while. I didn't expect you to come. As for Master Jingyue, she was having a meeting with the leader of the Phoenix Academy, Yu Wushuang.”"Martial Uncle, why are the people from Phoenix Academy here?" Bi Tian asked. We looked at every hole, but we didn't see them.”
"They just arrived, so you guys might have missed them." Now, only Bodhi Academy and Dao Garden were left. He believed that they would arrive soon. At that time, they would discuss the martial arts competition tomorrow. Now that you're fine, you should look around. It was rare for him to come here, so it was good for him to broaden his horizons.”
Perfected Zi Yang looked at Lu Yun and Ling Chen, and softly said,"All of you should have a good chat. In the future, when you walk the world, you can help each other and fight against the enemy together. In the cultivation world, everyone needed to have a few friends. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the cultivation world.”Ling Chen and the others nodded, turning and leaving.
Perfected Zi Yang looked at Bi Tian's back and said softly,""This Bi Tian from your Confucian Garden has an extraordinary cultivation. Looks like this time, our Yi Garden is going to be the scapegoat again. We've already memorized this last person who has followed us for 50 years for too long. We're a little tired and don't want to memorize it anymore.”
"Ziyang, we're all old friends. We're the best friends among the six schools." To be honest, who would be willing to carry the last place? We have always been the scapegoats of the Sixth Hospital. Everyone knows that. The Heavenly Sword Academy has dominated the world and its position has never wavered in the past five hundred years. Even the Bodhi Academy can't do anything to them, so what can we do? This time, your Yi Garden has produced five outstanding disciples. This is something that has never happened before. I am also happy for you. However, the Heavenly Sword Academy had six of them. How could they compare? Don't take it too seriously. In my opinion, your disciples, Lu Yun and Ling Chen, will probably have extraordinary results this time.”
Sage Zi Yang shook his head." To be honest, the most powerful people in the Yi Garden are Li Hongfei and Zhang Aoxue. Although my two disciples are talented, they have only been in the Yi Garden for two years. In two years, the two of them went from being youths who didn't know any spells to cultivating to such a level. I'm already extremely happy. This time, in order to fight for it, I didn't hesitate to quarrel with Senior Brother Qian Yuan. Why? I just want to see if these two disciples of my Yang House can bring glory to the Yi Garden. Originally, I thought that if the two of them could enter the top six, even if they were the last, I would be happy. However, after coming here, they found out that there were many outstanding disciples from each courtyard this time. They probably didn't have much hope.”He sighed and shook his head.
"Don't be discouraged. We haven't competed yet. Who knows?" Xu Canghai comforted her. Just like you said, for the two of them to be able to cultivate to such a level in two years is something that has never happened in the entire cultivation world. Since they had the ability to cultivate their skills in two years, perhaps they could really create a miracle this time? Don't think too much about it. Just cheer them on. Perhaps a surprise will be waiting for them.”Immortal Zi Yang looked at the horizon and thought to himself,'Will that happen?' That was probably impossible.
In the afternoon, Perfected Xuan Yu returned to the Heavenly Fire Cave. Looking at everyone, Perfected Xuan Yu said,"So far, everyone from the Sixth Courtyard has gathered." Today, the Sect Leader of the Phoenix Academy, Yu Wushuang, the Sect Leader of the Bodhi Academy, and the Sect Leader of the Dao Garden, Qixuan Zhenren, had all rushed here with their disciples. This time, apart from our Yi Garden, which only has five people participating, the other five schools will have six people participating. In this way, there would be a vacancy among the thirty-six people, and this vacancy would be filled by a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Academy.
"In the afternoon, the sect masters of the six academies discussed together. This time, we will still use the previous method of elimination. Each of the six courtyards could appoint two disciples to enter the semi-finals. The rest of the disciples had to compete to determine the winner before they could enter the next round. The competition was temporarily set for four rounds. As for the specific situation, it would depend on the time. The first round of the competition was a one-on-one elimination system for the remaining 24 disciples of the Sixth Campus, excluding the two designated disciples. As a result, twelve disciples would be eliminated after the first round.
The twelve disciples who won would be mixed with the twelve people designated by the six courtyards and divided into groups for a one-on-one elimination match. In order to ensure that the strength of each courtyard would not be damaged, the disciples of the same courtyard would definitely not encounter each other in this round. After the second round of the competition ended, there were only twelve disciples left from the six courtyards. These 12 people would then go through the format of the Cross Campus Competition. In the end, six people would remain, and the remaining six people would be the top six of this year's Martial Competition.
Finally, it was the ranking battle of the top six. This time, it didn't matter if they were from the same courtyard or not. They could randomly draw the name list of the martial arts competition. Whoever was drawn would be the winner. This step was the most crucial part of the competition because it affected the ranking of each courtyard. In every tournament, whoever got first place would be the top student of the Six Academies for the next ten years. Therefore, everyone's goal was set there. The final first place would be the greatest glory for the sect. Over the years, other than the three times that Bodhi Academy had won first place, the Heavenly Sword Academy had won all the first places.
You might be wondering why Tian Jian always gets first place. Could it be that they could produce an outstanding talent every ten years? There was actually a reason for this. There was a rule in the Martial Competition of the Six Academies. Every participant could participate in five consecutive competitions, but they were not allowed to participate more than five times. Therefore, this meant that every sixty years, the Heavenly Sword Academy would produce at least one outstanding disciple. This was also the reason why they could always lead the group.
This time, I came back to talk about our Yi Garden, which two people will directly enter the semi-finals. In this competition, the strength of the other five courtyards is beyond imagination. Therefore, we must be careful this time. As for the five of you, only two of you can enter the semi-finals directly. The remaining three will have to compete one more time, so I want to ask for your opinion.”After saying that, he looked at the seven of them and swept his gaze across the faces of Sage Zi Yang and Master Jingyue.
Looking at the eyes of the Sect Leader, Zi Yang knew that this was not the time to fight. For the honor of Yi Garden, he had to be careful in this matter. He couldn't be selfish. Gently, Perfected Zi Yang said helplessly,""This time, I have no objections as to which two people will directly enter the semi-finals.”Master Jingyue nodded without saying anything. Perhaps she also understood that it was not appropriate to say anything at this time.
"In that case, Yunfeng, Lingchen, and Lu Yun, you three will have to work hard to participate in the competition." Perfected Xuan Yu sighed. Ao Xue and Hong Fei rested for the time being, waiting for their performance in the semi-finals. If you have any objections, just say it.”
Reverend Zi Yang sighed as he looked at Lu Yun and Ling Chen, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. The two of them looked at their master. At this moment, the two of them suddenly had the same feeling as when Yun Feng left Yi Garden yesterday. At this moment, the two of them deeply understood the helplessness in their master's eyes. He understood that his master really wanted the two of them to enter the semi-finals. Unfortunately, his master couldn't say anything at this moment. Because once he spoke, it would be unfair to the others. At this moment, Yun Feng and Li Hongfei's master were not here. If he spoke, it would be equivalent to bullying the two of them.
Ling Chen and Lu Yun didn't really care about this competition. However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that his master was very concerned about this matter. Looking at their Master's helpless expression, the two of them decided that since they were here, they had to perform well and make their Master and everyone in Yi Garden happy.
Looking at their master, the two of them revealed a faint smile in their eyes. They softly said,"Martial Uncle and Master, please rest assured. We won't care about this. "It just so happens that this time, we also want to see more of the unique skills of the other academies, so we're very happy. Let me scout the path for everyone first. That way, everyone will have a good idea in the future competitions.”
Lin Yunfeng looked at Lu Yun and Ling Chen, patted their shoulders, and said with a smile,""Well said. Let's work hard together. We must let all of them know the reputation of our Yi Garden so that they won't dare to look down on our Yi Garden disciples in the future.”After speaking, he placed his hands on Ling Chen and Lu Yun's shoulders.
Perfected Xuan Yu's eyes revealed a trace of comfort as he whispered,""Alright, this matter is settled. I'll go over immediately and report the names of our participants so that they can make arrangements. This round of competition was divided into six spots. There was a spot in front of each hole, and the six spots were played at the same time. Therefore, it is very likely that you will be competing at the same time and in different locations. You must be mentally prepared. Alright, you guys get ready. I'll be leaving first.”With that, he stood up and left.
Reverend Zi Yang looked at Lu Yun and Ling Chen, and softly said,"Good luck, I hope all three of you can pass the test and bring glory to our Yi Garden. Remember to rest well tonight and work hard tomorrow. We all wish you all the best.”After saying that, he seemed to be avoiding something and flashed out of the cave.
Ling Chen looked at his master's back and sighed, thinking, Don't worry, you will be proud of me and Lu Yun. Turning around to look at everyone, Ao Xue's eyes revealed a trace of encouragement, while Li Hongfei softly said the two words 'good luck.' Ling Chen and Lu Yun each held Yun Feng's hand, and the two of them suddenly smiled, confidently looking at everyone as they said in unison,"We will know everything tomorrow."
Yes, everything would be known tomorrow, right?
