Chapter 247 A New Journey
At dawn the next day, the sun rose as usual, and the bright light shone from the sky on the bustling sea city, and a peaceful day came again.

In the morning light, the Eye of Twilight in the sea towered majestically above the island.

On this day, around the Eye of Twilight, there are hundreds of huge steel battleships floating in the air, and from the inside to the outside, they are arranged in a circular array to surround this ancient secret place, shining in the morning sun With a cold metallic light.

On the tall bridge, black flags fluttered in the morning wind.

When people looked up, what they saw was a shocking picture constructed by countless war machines, just like a scene in a science fiction blockbuster.

The steel is dense, mighty and magnificent.

This is the majesty and power of the Great Xia Dynasty...

The East China Sea Fleet, the regular fleet of this country, has been stationed near the Eye of Twilight since it appeared yesterday, and the sea and airspace within a radius of nearly ten kilometers have been blocked.

"At 5:30 p.m. yesterday, the East China Sea Fleet arrived in Twilight City."

"Currently, the East China Sea Fleet is stationed near the Eye of Twilight."

"At 8 o'clock this morning, the national military and the Twilight City officials jointly issued a statement: From now on, the Twilight Secret Realm is officially closed to the public. Except for the students and teachers of Shenghui School, no outsiders are allowed to enter."

In the morning, Twilight City's official news media also issued an official announcement to the entire city and its surrounding areas, and it was announced on all media platforms at the same time.

"It is reported that the time of this blockade has not yet been determined." In the news studio, the official host spokesperson wore a formal suit with an unprecedented solemn expression, "But please rest assured that the fleet will not interfere or affect the normal operation of Twilight City , and life goes on as usual.”

"In addition, the official statement here-

All unofficial residents of Sky City, sect forces, and nobles of the royal family are ordered to leave Twilight City immediately.

Otherwise, the military will take necessary coercive measures. "

The appearance of the National Fleet and the official announcement undoubtedly set off an uproar in the city, and the influence it brought was even greater than the joint competition.

At this moment, everyone knows that a big event is about to happen in Twilight City, and it is also a major event at the national strategic level, so this morning the whole city has been plunged into an undercurrent, and various forces lurking in the city are rushing. They began to act, some were waiting and watching temporarily, some left immediately, and some hurriedly contacted the forces behind them.

The city in the sky, sect nobles, foreign forces...

Countless figures dormant in the darkness, on this day, plotted one after another.

There is no doubt that no matter what force it is, it does not have the guts to provoke the majesty of the country at this moment.

Compared to this, ordinary citizens are still the same as before, living, shopping, going to work and working, and it seems that they have not been affected too much.

In this country, people have great recognition and respect for the official prestige.

……

It was also on this day that the teachers and students of Qingyun School set off for a new journey towards the joint competition.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Xindong Airport.

Early in the morning, the seniors from Tianji and Lin Fan and his party packed their luggage and took a taxi to this modern airport. Everyone looked radiant and in a good mood.

Only Lin Fan had dark circles under his eyes, and he slept very late last night, staying by the window and curiously observing the East China Sea Fleet on the distant sea, until he fell asleep on the bed at two o'clock in the middle of the night.

be nice,

Those battleships are really cool.

Lin Fan did not give up trying to find out state secrets, it was purely out of novelty, after all, no boy could resist the charm of war machines like warships, tanks, and airplanes.

Well, this is the romance engraved in a man's genes...

When I wake up in the morning, I give myself a sip of goat milk, and my spirit immediately refreshes a lot.

"what……"

Under the organization of Xia Han, the leading teacher of the team, 16 teachers and 10 students from Qingyun School walked into the crowded airport, and after passing the security check, they walked out of the waiting hall to prepare for boarding.

It is worth mentioning that there are two security check channels at the airport, one is responsible for ordinary people, and it mainly checks dangerous items such as flammable and explosive contraband or controlled knives.

The remaining one is specially prepared for knights. After all, for ordinary people, the abilities of knights also determine that they have stronger destructive power. It is also a helpless thing to cause a serious disaster.

Therefore, the main function of the security check is to register the detailed information of the knight passengers, so that the suspected target can be accurately and quickly locked after an accident occurs.

Fortunately, Lin Fan and the others are all contestants of Qingyun School, and all of them have official records.

Passed the complicated security check procedure smoothly.

Walk into the airport, take pictures of the team in an orderly manner, and follow the crowd to prepare for boarding.

It's a pity that Mr. Xia Han originally planned to book the entire first-class cabin directly, but was told that someone had already booked in advance, so they couldn't enjoy the separate box this time as they did when they came here.

I don't know who is so embarrassing and did such a bad thing.

But come to think of it, economy class is actually pretty good...

"Hey, look over there." Lin Fan's shoulders were suddenly embraced by Deng Hai, and he pointed to the place behind him.

Lin Fan turned his head to look in the direction Deng Hai pointed out, and saw a group of figures walking towards this side. There were both teachers and students inside. Lin Fan quickly recognized their uniforms from the uniforms they were wearing. origin.What's more, there are several familiar figures among them - Cheng Lin.

Yo Ho,

People from Wudu School.

It's really a narrow road...

"Interesting, Wudu School also took this flight, and it seems that they are assigned to the same group competition area as us." Zhao Liner pursed her lips with a smile, and glanced lightly with her beautiful eyes.

"Yes, basically an opponent has been determined." Zhao Yu said softly.

At the same time, when the people from Wudu School dragged their luggage and came, they immediately saw the teachers and students from Qingyun School.

In the history of the joint competition, the two schools already had grievances, so when they met, their faces were not very friendly, and they didn't even bother to say hypocritical polite words, and they looked at each other tit for tat.

In an instant, Cheng Lin's complexion darkened.

In the qualifiers, Wudu School lost to Lin Fan and the others in the first group, but for these proud and talented students, failure is not terrible, even death in battle is not terrible.

What is the scary thing?

That's right, that's social death.

Especially Cheng Lin, he had a solid death in the arena, including his battle pet Feng Luan, and now the name "Feng Shiqi" has been spread on the Internet.

Hmm... this grievance is not small...

But this is an airport after all, and the two sides did not make any drastic moves in public, but just confronted each other silently.

"Get ready to board the plane." Teacher Xia Han's voice sounded.

Hearing this, Lin Fan and his party boarded the plane one after another.

Soon after, the plane started to accelerate on the wide and flat runway, lifted up smoothly into the air, and soared towards the distant sky.

Inside the cabin, passengers from all over the world sat quietly in their seats, and beautiful stewardesses in uniform walked back and forth from time to time, providing considerate services to passengers.

"Dear passengers, the plane has already set sail and will land in Lin'an County in three hours."

"Ladies and gentlemen: I am the chief purser of this flight. It is a great pleasure to meet you at China Eastern Airlines. I hope to serve you sincerely and bring you a relaxing and pleasant journey!"

The professional and gentle voice of the purser resounded in the cabin.

Lin'an County?
Unfamiliar place name, is the group stage going to be held there?

Seeing the doubts in the students' eyes, Xia Han knew that it was time to tell them the process of the group stage, so she said softly: "The place where the group stage is held is Nanyang City, the capital of Guiyun Province, but according to the schedule of the group stage For the process arrangement, we have to go to Lin'an County first."

"Why?" Lin Fan asked.

Xia Han responded: "Go there and light the holy fire."

Hearing this, Lin Fan and the others understood somewhat. According to the tradition of the joint competition, in each stage of the preliminaries, group matches, and finals, a torch must be lit once.

To some extent, the meaning of the torch is not just a simple torch, it also symbolizes the endless competitive spirit and the historical inheritance from generation to generation.

The sense of ceremony is full.

But it is also the inheritance of this ritual that has allowed the joint competition to continue until today, thousands of years later.

"What are the rules of the group stage? Which schools are our opponents?" Zhao Liner asked aloud while sitting next to Lin Fan.

"That's what I'm going to tell you next." Xia Han smiled slightly and said softly, "The group competition is also divided into five divisions, and each division has eight schools participating."

"According to the arrangement of this joint competition, when the preliminaries are over, the advanced schools in the five major divisions of the Eastern Division, Western Division, Southern Division, Northern Division, and Central Division will be reorganized and reorganized, and they will be distributed according to their rankings. "

"However, due to the limitation of the network area, we are still unable to get the information of other schools in the first place." Xia Han shook his head helplessly when he said this, and then continued, "When the torch is lit in Lin'an County Then, you will be able to meet teams from other schools."

"Of course, it looks like Wudu School will be in the same group stage as us."

Xia Han turned her head with a half-smile and glanced at a place not far away, where there was a slight voice from people from Wudu School, who were also discussing the group stage.

In fact, after boarding the plane, many passengers in the cabin recognized the identities of the two schools, so they expressed tolerance and understanding for their discussions, and some even became their fans.

Therefore, no one was dissatisfied because of their conversation.

In the eyes of these passengers, no matter the students of that school, they are the future hope of this country.

Lin Fan lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Then we won the first place in the qualifiers, and the opponent in the first match will also be the last place in other divisions?"

Xia Han nodded and said, "Yes."

After thinking about it, Xia Han said, "One thing to keep in mind is that the group stage is different from the qualifiers. It adopts a knockout system, and there will be three matches in each round."

Su Ting said: "In other words, we only need to play three games in the group stage?"

"That's right, remember, there is only one place for promotion in the group stage." In front of the teacher, Ling Jun's expression became serious, "So you can only advance to the finals and enter the imperial capital if you win No.1."

Tsk tsk, 8 into 1,
This cruel elimination mechanism.

It can be seen that in the group stage, the battle they will face is definitely more intense than in the qualifiers.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, I hope you will be vigilant." Teacher Ling Jun turned to look at the child in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Although you have won the first place in the qualifiers, but facing other The school must not be careless."

"In this joint competition, the overall level of the Eastern Division is not as good as other divisions, especially the Central Division, which has been the main competition area for years."

"A total of 102 schools participated in this year's Central Division, including 20 key prestigious schools."

Lin Fan: "..."

Damn, what about raising Gu?
Lin Fan thought that the competition in the Eastern Division was already fierce enough, but he didn't expect that the gap would be so big compared to other divisions.

"Eh? Wouldn't this be unfair to other schools?" Deng Hai was also taken aback by the situation in the Central Division.

"The provinces and cities in the eastern competition area are inferior to those big provinces in the central competition area in terms of economic development, educational resources, and population size." Xia Han understood Deng Hai's meaning and took the topic and said, "So after the official comprehensive agreement , to make such a division, it can be regarded as some kind of policy balance.”

Lin Fan understood.

Zhao Liner and the others also understood.

To put it bluntly, this is like the college entrance examination for ordinary students. The country will always make some balance and preferential treatment on the college entrance examination scores for those relatively backward areas.

The same is true for knight schools.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for students in remote places like Jiangling Province to have a bright future in the face of the internal affairs of schools in big provinces.

In this world, there has never been absolute fairness.

The so-called fairness is relative.

But it can also be seen from this, how powerful those schools that have overcome all obstacles in the competition area will be. If you think about it carefully, how many people did those teams have to kill in order to come to your side.

It's a little scary...

Even if they are chicken heads, others are at least phoenix tails.

In short, no team should be underestimated.
