Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 53 There is a dark horse, but it's not us
On the first day of the North District's academy's martial arts competition, it attracted tens of thousands of spectators. Of course, the number of residents in the capital of the Tianqin family was more than that, but the Tianqin family had strict control over the number, identity, age, etc. of non-academy warriors who entered.
Qinling Academy has always been unrestricted for students who come to participate in the academy's martial arts competition. Just like Fang Junji said, no place is forbidden. As long as you want to go, there will be someone to show you the way.
However, no matter how high-ranking and powerful the audience is, as long as they are not the staff or participants of this martial arts competition of the Qinling Academy, then, sorry, you are not allowed to bring any personal belongings, not even a bottle of mineral water. All clothes must be removed and all audience uniforms provided by the Qinling Academy must be worn.
Tang Zheng watched the "security check" process with his own eyes. It was almost like taking off all the clothes except for underwear before entering. If the airport in his previous life conducted security checks like this, probably no one would be willing to board the plane.
"So professional." Looking at the "Minions" wearing uniform clothing everywhere, most of the warriors who were participating in the academy's martial arts competition for the first time couldn't help but be moved.
Many of them were descents from their own families, some even direct descendants, but when they saw the vast venues and orderly arrangements of the top academy in Xingyao Continent, they still felt a huge difference.
The seven top families are the top families!
Qinling Academy is Qinling Academy!
Nearly two hundred academies from forty noble families drew lots. Generally, the initial battles would be held in several academies within one family. This was not considered a formal martial arts discussion, but just a warm-up before the discussion. However, the results of this "warm-up" would directly affect the arrangement of the order of the subsequent martial arts discussion.
After all, not every academy can fight against all other academies!
Almost all academies that have been ranked in the top ten more than once within three years will directly wait for the official battle to begin.
"Today we will fight against the Qipin Academy, tomorrow we will fight against the Jiuhua Academy, and the day after tomorrow we will fight against the Sanqing Academy." When Instructor Zou brought the battle arrangement, he smiled guiltily, "Well. Just do your best today and tomorrow, and we will focus our main energy on the Sanqing Academy. This year, the Sanqing Academy..."
"No one from Sanqing Academy is worth mentioning this year, but I still need to trouble Brothers Mo Xiaoxia and Deng Yang to prepare." Tang Zheng listened to Instructor Zou's idea, which was not to lead a gold team... No, no, no, not the idea of leading a good team. He immediately cut off his next words and said, "Jiuhua Academy has stronger equipment. Three of them have been here last year. They are experienced, have stable star power, and are more familiar with the use of astrology. Leng Zhan, who is more familiar with them, will prepare. As for the rest of us, prepare to fight against the Seventh-Rank Academy today!"
"Okay ." Deng Yang and Mo Xiaoxia were a little surprised that Tang Zheng had arranged everything so well, and they nodded immediately.
"I'm ready. I can arrange the attack against Jiuhua Academy tomorrow. I'll leave it to you today." Leng Zhan said to Tang Zhengdao.
"Okay, then listen to me next..." Tang Zheng gathered everyone together, took a piece of paper and started to make arrangements.
Instructor Zou felt a gust of awkward cold wind blowing past him...
He was a little dazed.
An assistant behind him was also a little confused.
Because if they heard correctly, Tang Zheng and his team were planning to take over all three academies of the Changyuan Leng family this year?
If this is true, they might be able to directly compete against the academy that was ranked around 100th in the North District last year in the first martial arts competition!
No, they turned around and thought they were overthinking.
How could that happen?
"Miracle?" The assistant somehow uttered these two words.
"Hehe, not so fast?" Instructor Zou felt that he should be given some time to prepare.
…
Arrange tactics, arrange players, and check equipment.
Yisu Academy completed its pre-war preparations in one go, and seeing their spirit and energy, the five warriors from the Seventh-Rank Academy all had a strange feeling.
However, among the five warriors from the Seventh Rank Academy who participated in the Three Stars Martial Arts Competition, four were from last year. The only newcomer was naturally very strong, but because of this, he was too arrogant and looked down on the powerful "Tracing the World" results demonstrated by Tang Zheng and the others in the Tracing the World Star Tower.
Instructor Zou and his companions never imagined that this internal battle within the Changyuan Leng family would end within ten rounds!
As soon as he came on the field, Meng Fenghua charged forward with a sword and attacked synchronously with Jiu Tian Xuan Nu. After the first move temporarily forced the opponent back, Tang Zheng had already taken his small steps to eliminate the girl at the back of the Seventh Rank Academy formation.
After only two rounds, Tang Zheng had already thrown a girl out of the field.
The girl herself hasn't even reacted yet, what on earth has happened...
Then, in the third round, Cold War used only one move to defeat the opponent's strongest and most experienced main attacker. If it was a life-and-death battle, the opponent could of course continue to fight, but the Academy Martial Arts Competition has strict requirements in every link. In the warm-up stage, Cold War's move is a fatal injury, and the opponent must withdraw and cannot fight again.
Afterwards, Tang Xiaotang and Jiang Wuyan also successfully replaced one.
The three-on-one situation on the field became clear within five moves.
The last person in the Seventh Rank Academy was the newcomer that none of them knew. He used his own astrological "Aurora Shield Wall" to resist for a while, but unfortunately was defeated in the end.
Except for Meng Fenghua who was the first to go up and suffered minor injuries, everyone else was unharmed.
"Fenghua, after seeing the Queen Mother of the West, you missed Xiao Lingling again, right?" Tang Xiaotang gently touched Meng Fenghua's wound when she jumped off the stage.
"Xu Qingyan has already gone to pick her up at the capital of the Tianqin family. She should be here soon." Tang Zheng said.
"Well, I was distracted. Sorry." Meng Fenghua nodded and admitted his mistake.
Instructor Zou continued to feel that his neck was a little cold...
Distracted?
The fight ended in ten moves, yet he still said he was distracted.
If these words were said to the Seventh Rank Academy, they would definitely spit at them.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at Tang Zheng and the others who left him alone, chatting and laughing, and went to eat and drink. He felt a little dazed.
"Are the children I'm teaching really from Yisuli Academy?" Instructor Zou asked the assistant beside him a little uncertainly.
"Maybe...right?" The assistant also looked at him and was also unsure.
The Yisu Academy, which they were all familiar with, had defeated the Qipin Academy before, but the number of times was very small and it was also very difficult to win.
There has never been a time when we win so cleanly .
Instructor Zou thought for a long time.
Defeating the Seventh-Rank Academy in ten moves was a great thing, but he had a headache. He was so shocked at the time that he didn't see anything clearly. Moreover, he was used to writing battle reports in the past, so he didn't know where to start writing today's battle report.
…
The day's warm-up was soon over, and the dormitory area of Qinling Academy had become the cradle of various rumors.
The battles that took place in various areas, who was injured, who withdrew, who had a grudge against whom, no matter whether it was big or small, someone would talk about it, and no matter whether it was big or small, someone would listen.
Because it was just a warm-up phase and not a formal martial arts competition, the winning academy did not show too much excitement, and the losing academy also rarely took it to heart.
Although the Seventh Rank Academy unexpectedly lost to the Yisu Academy, the Prefecture City Academy was not so easily discouraged. They just said "we were careless" and when they saw Tang Zheng and the others, they also said "well done".
The two academies were not very familiar with each other, so they just exchanged a few polite words while eating together and then went back.
However, a piece of news that came out in the evening shocked everyone.
"Oh my god, I've lived here for almost half a month, and I only found out today that there's a new academy!"
"What are you talking about! What do you mean there is an extra academy?"
"Yes, the number of academies has already been determined. Has any noble family built a new academy?"
"Uh, I think I just heard from the instructor that this year we have a school in the North District, and it's not a family school!"
"Ah? Not the aristocratic academy?"
This is not an aristocratic academy, so why are you here to participate in a martial arts conference?
It's not that the academy's martial arts competition excludes non-aristocratic academies, but that non-aristocratic academies would not come to such a place and embarrass themselves.
There is a huge difference between whether a school is a school of aristocratic family or not.
Student composition, teaching experience, family resources...
The most important thing is that the students of the Aristocratic Academy can ascend the Star-Seeing Tower!
Almost all warriors are aware of the importance of the Sushiwenxing Tower, which is why most of the outstanding warriors have to squeeze through the single-plank bridge of the Aristocratic Academy.
It is precisely because of the existence of this decisive Tracing the Worlds and Asking the Stars Tower that even if non-aristocratic academies come to the academy to participate in the martial arts competition, they will not have any competitiveness.
Moreover, this kind of place is not something you can just randomly set up a piece of land, set up two tables, and set up a school to participate in! Any conditions that are not from aristocratic schools cannot meet the requirements of the school martial arts competition.
"Today they were arranged to fight against the Huaishui Bai family's Jixia Academy, and they won!"
"Are you kidding? Jixia Academy?"
“Although it’s not a top family academy, it’s one of the top ten academies in the academy martial arts competition every year!”
"What is the name of this extra academy?"
"What deer is that... Oh, the White Deer Academy. It seems to be in the Xue family's place in northern Shanxi, but it's not the Xue family's aristocratic academy."
Tang Zheng didn't care much at first.
Wherever there is a battle, there will always be one or two dark horses.
However, it seems that what has emerged is not a dark horse, but a white deer?
Tang Zheng was thinking back to that night when he met Fang Junji at the Tianqin family's enfeoffment order. He seemed to be from the Bailu Academy?
However, he only mentioned the Xue family’s Bailu Academy in northern Shanxi.
Who knew that Bailu Academy was not an academy for aristocratic families, but an academy for wild animals?
"You only know one side of the story, right?" Another person ran over. "I was laughing my ass off just now. There are only five people in the White Deer Academy, just the five of them! But now that I know who is the leader of this, I can't laugh anymore..."
"Who?" everyone asked.
"Li Qingming! That Li Qingming!" he said.
