Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 2 Alsophila Academy
There were at least three and at most eight carriages from other aristocratic academies coming to the Qinling Academy. Fifty carriages with flags of different academies hanging high left the Qinling Academy in a mighty procession and headed for the second stop of the academy martial arts conference, the Alsophila Academy.
Hundreds of carriages with flags from various academies hanging on them were quite spectacular.
It was not yet completely light, but many people had already gotten up. When they saw the Qinling Academy's carriage at the front of the line, the crowd immediately cheered.
Following closely behind were the Xiyang Academy and Dongyang Academy of the Tianqin family, then the Longding Academy, Longming Academy, and Longyou Academy of the Donglong family, and then the Shengtang Academy, Qingyang Academy, and Wuqian Academy of the Qiantang family...
People who watch it often can already memorize the order of departure from the academies.
However, after the Wenhua family’s Qingwen Palace, the first academy that followed was not the one flying the foreign flag of the capital!
"That's the White Deer Academy! I told you..."
"Oh, is that the Bailu Academy led by Li Qingming?"
"Uh, wait, the one behind the White Deer Academy doesn't seem to be the Capital Academy... the one behind it is called, Yisu Academy?"
"Yisu Academy is the academy of the Changyuan Leng family, right? It's located in the border town."
"Isn't the Capital Academy of the Changyuan Leng family the Jiuhua Academy? Why is the Capital Academy ranked at the back?"
Many onlookers who did not know the truth could not understand the order in which they set out.
The Changyuan Leng family is right next to the Tianqin family, so the people of the Tianqin family know quite a lot about the Changyuan Leng family's academy.
It was precisely because of the knowledge of Yisuli Academy's past achievements that they were particularly surprised at their departure order.
Of course, they were destined to receive no explanation for such things.
Maybe it’s not that complicated. This year it’s just Yisu, Sanqing, Qipin, Jiuhua, maybe arranged from small to large?
A convoy of hundreds of carriages slowly drove out of Deshengmen and left the capital of the Tianqin family.
The journey to Alsophila Academy is a long one.
However, the convoy's speed was not slow.
After walking for about three days, Tang Zheng began to feel that the fluctuations of the star power around him were not normal...
"Don't worry, that's Mr. Wenyuan." Instructor Zou finally had a good night's sleep after playing the game yesterday, and the dark circles under his eyes that had lasted for several days were slightly lighter.
"Mr. Wenyuan?" This was the first time Tang Zheng heard Instructor Zou mention this person.
“Of course, I’ve only heard that… the nine-star powerhouses of the Wenhua family can become star masters as long as they take another half step forward…” Instructor Zou said.
"Is the rule he comprehended chaos?" Tang Zheng complained with a smile.
The star power around is really chaotic.
As they walked, this chaotic star power continued all the way, and its coverage was extremely large. The long convoy of hundreds of carriages was completely enveloped by it...
If this person really exists, then Tang Zheng truly believes that he is only half a step away from the position of Star Lord.
However, this half step may not be so easy to take!
Leng Changwang, a seven-star warrior from the Changyuan Leng family, has been going out almost every day to "look for opportunities". They travel everywhere and their whereabouts are unknown, not to mention those nine-star powerhouses from the top families. No one knows whether they exist or are alive or dead.
Just like this Wen Yuan, he has a name but has never shown up.
"A living nine-star expert, is that true?" Tang Xiaotang said with a look of disbelief.
"If a demon king attacks our convoy now, we will probably know whether this person really exists or not." Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"You'd better stop talking so badly." Tang Xiaotang quickly covered Tang Zheng's mouth.
The "Frost Star Blocking the Moon Formation" connected by the beacon towers of various fortresses should not be able to allow a strong person of the level of the Demon King to pass through.
However, it is hard to say now.
The Frost Star Blocking the Moon Formation is composed of 120 fortresses. If any of the high-ranking officers in any of the fortresses believes in the Blazing Flame Sect and is in contact with demons, then it is really possible to let a demon king in silently with a little trickery!
In fact, the journey to Alsophila Cyathulae Academy is quite interesting.
There are thirteen people in Yisu Academy now. They play "Close your eyes when it gets dark" and watch the scenery along the way change from a bleak white to light green, emerald green, and dark green...
The south where the four seasons are like spring, the most inland place in Xinjiang.
Unlike the Tianqin Family, the Donglong Family, the Qiantang Family, and the Wenhua Family, the three top families deep inland have almost no borders with the demon clan, and there is peace and prosperity everywhere.
The combat power of the Qianye Family, the Huajian Family, and the Liuyun Family are all severely polarized. Their high-end combat power is very terrifying. A seven-star powerhouse emerges every few years. For example, the Liuyun Family has had twice as many seven-star powerhouses as the Tianqin Family in the past hundred years!
However, the number of warriors below three stars in their rank was only half of that of other top families...
After a long journey through mountains and rivers, they finally entered the legendary Alsophila Academy in the early spring.
beautiful.
It seems that this is the only word in the world that can be used to describe this academy, and not even a single punctuation mark is needed.
When they entered the capital of the Huajian family, Lidu, they were shocked by the scene where it was spring all year round. Lidu was full of flowers and green grass. Beautiful women walked through the streets in groups of three or two, carrying flower baskets and humming graceful tunes.
But they didn't expect that after entering the Alsophila Academy, they found that the academy was even more beautiful than the most beautiful place in Lidu.
In Alsophila Academy, extremely valuable flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, rare birds can be heard everywhere, and girls with stunning looks can be seen everywhere...
The first thing Leng Zhan said after moving in was: "Are there any capable fighters here?"
It is really hard to imagine that there can be any powerful warriors in such a warm and gentle place.
As it turns out , the truth is cruel.
In the first academy martial arts competition three days later, Yisu Academy encountered Jianyi Academy, an academy that was just established by Huajian family last year, and was defeated.
This was the first time that Yisu Academy had suffered a defeat since the Academy Martial Arts Competition this year.
"This simple academy is really not that simple..." Tang Xiaotang was the first target in this battle, which showed that Jianyi Academy was very well prepared for this martial arts debate.
"It's called Jianyi Academy, not Jianyi Academy." Tang Zheng shook his head and sighed, "It's terrible to be uneducated."
Of course Tang Xiaotang said this on purpose, but it was just a joke and she immediately began to reflect on herself.
Losing the first battle was acceptable, but they couldn't continue to be targeted like this.
Without Tang Xiaotang on the court, Yisuli Academy will fall into a passive position and it will be difficult to play.
"The next battle is still three days away. We need to cheer up and prepare well during these three days." Tang Zheng also knew that it was the blacklist issue that occupied too much of their attention, but of course they could not give up the current martial arts competition in the academy.
"You say." Leng Zhan sat aside with his hands folded.
"First of all, in addition to this set of lineups, we need to develop at least two more. Secondly, in these three days, each of us needs to improve our personal strength to a certain extent." Tang Zheng glanced at them, "You should have made some breakthroughs in your secret martial arts, right?"
On the way to Alsophila Academy, almost everyone was studying and comprehending secret martial arts.
But, there is still a little bit left...
The goal proposed by Tang Zheng is not impossible to achieve.
"Which academy will we play against in three days?" Jiang Wuyan asked.
Instructor Zou spread his hands, looking helpless: "Although I really hope to meet a slightly weaker academy to adjust my condition, but, I'm sorry... our luck doesn't seem to be very good."
Everyone's target was focused on him.
Instructor Zou sighed, "Alpinia Cyathulae Academy."
Tang Xiaotang was stunned for a moment: "No way?"
How could it be the Alsophila Academy? How familiar must they be with the arena and martial arts field here?
Moreover, Jianyi Academy was able to defeat them. As the capital academy of the Huajian family, Alsophila Academy must be stronger, right?
"Host!" Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes. "No matter what kind of battle it is, the most difficult one is the host..."
So, their luck is really not good...
Instructor Zou shrugged: "But some people are even more unlucky."
"Oh? How unlucky are you?" Jiang Wuyan asked.
"Do you know which academy the Bailu Academy is ranked next to?" Instructor Zou smiled bitterly. It was because he was invited by Fang Junji to serve as the team instructor of the Bailu Academy that he knew their opponents so early.
"Which academy..."
"Qinling Academy! The first place winner of last year's Academy Martial Arts Contest is from Qinling Academy!!"
"Uh, why are they scheduled to be in the Qinling Academy? They are an academy in the North District. It doesn't make sense that they would meet the Qinling Academy, which is also in the North District, in the second stop of the battle, right?" Tang Xiaotang was puzzled.
"That's why I say they are unlucky." Instructor Zou shrugged and said in a self-consoling tone, "Two selected academies in the South District did not arrive at Alsophila Academy on time, so the number of academies in the North District and South District became fifty to forty-eight. In order to balance the numbers, the White Deer Academy was... assigned to the South District."
Tang Zheng was listening to this series of "bad luck", but he felt as if someone was arranging everything in between.
Maybe, this encounter with Qinling Academy is exactly what Bailu Academy wants?
"Let's not worry about other people's affairs for now. I'm looking forward to the battle with Alsophila Academy." Leng Zhan stood up, and the wild lightning behind him suddenly flashed again.
Just as Instructor Zou nodded and was about to dismiss the group, a young girl walked in respectfully and handed a letter to Tang Zheng: "Hello, you and Miss Tang Xiaotang, there is a letter from Wulong Town."
A letter from Wulong Town?
Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaotang looked at each other and thought of a place at the same time...
Tangjiabao!
"A letter from home?" Instructor Zou glanced at it and said, "Then you can take your time to read it. We will be dismissed first."
"Yeah." Tang Zheng waved his hand to send them off, then glanced at the impatient Xiao Tang, handed the letter in his hand to him, and said with a smile: "How about you open it?"
