Chi Yunzhi's thoughts were pulled back after the perfect closing speech of the tournament elder.

Thus, this year's National Academy Competition has come to a successful conclusion.

However, at this moment, the entire altar was extremely quiet, and no one left.

It seemed that everyone was waiting for something tacitly.

The students who originally participated in the competition from all over the world are looking forward to it and eager to try it.

Chi Yunzhi, who was still standing on the stage, heard the judges and elders from various countries bowing their heads to discuss something, and Hu Shuang'er, who was also sitting on the seat in the distance, gave her a slight smile.

Chi Yunzhi raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that another highlight after the competition was coming.

Most of the students come to participate in this national college competition just to be able to enter some big families and sects with profound background after the competition is over, so as to obtain more cultivation resources in the future.

After all, at this stage, they are almost qualified to graduate from the academy, and it is time to consider their future path.

The judge elders deliberated for a while and gave the final decision, "28."

The competition elder who had been standing quietly waiting for the result was slightly surprised when he heard the number given by the jury, but he quickly nodded and walked out of the stage.

Under the eyes of everyone, the elder of the competition cleared his voice, his face was solemn, and his voice echoed throughout the altar: "The students who have advanced to the top 28 in the third round of the competition are invited to come on stage."

"Top 28?"

"How could it be the top 28?!"

"In previous years, didn't all the students who advanced to the third round have a chance? How could there be only the top 28 this time?"

"..."

As soon as the elder of the competition said his words, there was an uproar in the entire altar as expected.

Many students who advanced to the third round of the competition but did not advance to the top 28 all turned pale, and the deans and elders of the colleges to which these students belonged also frowned upon hearing this.

You must know that if the students who graduate from the academy can enter some big families and sects and have better development, the reputation of the academy that trained these students will also increase greatly.

At this time, all the top families and sects gathered on the stage, and their conditions for recruiting disciples are also very strict. Many colleges and students are waiting for this opportunity.

Who would have thought that in the past, students who could make it to the third round of the competition had the opportunity to only choose the top 28 this time.

Originally there were more than 100 people participating in the competition, but this time more than [-] students gave up their chances.

And such a result may also indicate that the talent and strength of these students are not enough to attract the attention of those big families and sects, or they have other ways to obtain more talented disciples. Of course, there may be another way. The meaning of this layer is to put pressure on various colleges and tell them not to waste the resources provided by the empire, but the quality of the students they train is not as good as the previous one.

There were various voices from the audience, and on the stage, the students who had advanced to the top 28 had already arrived. Among them, some students who could not be present due to serious injuries in the competition were replaced by the deans of their colleges.

Facing the 28 people sitting in a long row, the judge elders looked back and forth and nodded from time to time.

As for the recruitment of some elders, most students suppressed their excitement and readily agreed.

Occasionally, one or two students were recruited by several elders at the same time, and the students made a quick decision after some hesitation.

The voice of recruitment soon came to the position of advancing to the semi-finals, and it was also at this time that the voice of rejection from the recruited students appeared for the first time.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse to join Linyang Sect." Hearing such a firm and definite refusal, everyone immediately looked away.

Lu Yunchu from the Zhuzi Empire was seen smiling, while opposite him, the face of the Linyang Sect elder who recruited him changed slightly.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be a person who can advance to the top four, and he can even refuse the invitation of Linyang Sect."

The crowd secretly thought.

The Linyang Sect is one of the most famous sects in the empire.

The elder of Linyang Sect who was rejected by Lu Yunchu stiffly pulled the corners of his mouth, and said: "Lu Yunchu, you should think about it, although your Lu family has some abilities, it is because there was a first-grade medicine refining master, but with this A first-grade alchemy master has passed away, the past two years should be difficult for your Lu family, right? Joining my Linyang Sect will only benefit your Lu family."

Having said all this, just when everyone thought that Lu Yunchu would agree under pressure, they saw him smile sadly, winking at the elder of Linyang Sect and said: "Thinking about it, Linyang Sect is indeed very good Yes, it's a pity that the suzerain of the Linyang Sect is annoying, so I can only give up."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Can this be said?
Who the hell is this Lu Yunchu who dares to disrespect the Linyang Sect and insult the Linyang Sect Master in public?
The elders of the Linyang Sect naturally did not expect Lu Yunchu to say that, and his face became ugly, but seeing the optimistic gazes from other families and elders of the sect around him, he could only keep a cold face and maintain the demeanor of the sect , and finally left a harsh sentence.

"Okay, very good. I just hope that your Lu family won't regret it then."

Regarding this, Lu Yunchu just shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and turned the elders of Linyang Sect into a black face.

This Lu Yunchu is an interesting person, Chi Yunzhi thought to himself.

At the same time, an old man in the auditorium blew his beard and stared angrily at this scene, "This brat, who taught him to speak like that?!"

On the side, a middle-aged man persuaded: "Patriarch, don't blame the young master, because the young master knows that Linyang Zong covets things from the Lu family. Since the second master left, the Linyang Zong has been giving Lu family money secretly and secretly for the past two years." He was looking for trouble for his family, but he failed to get what he wanted, and now he is trying to recruit the young master, the young master is out of anger, so he intentionally embarrasses him in public."

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sighed, his cloudy eyes dimmed a lot.

After the episode of Lu Yunchu's refusal to join the Linyang Sect ended, many judge elders began to recruit the other two who had advanced to the top four, Ming Qi and Sheng Zifu.

However, what is interesting is that none of these two people were present at the scene. Sheng Zifu was seriously injured, but why was Ming Qi?

Both Ming Qi and Sheng Zifu were able to perform Qi-level low-level spiritual arts before their cultivation had reached the level of subjugation. Their talents in spiritual arts had already attracted the attention of many families and sects, and many judges The elder even got into a dispute over the ownership of the two deans who came to power on behalf of Sheng Zifu and Ming Qi before they got an answer.

While everyone was looking at the judges on the stage who were arguing with each other, Shangguantang and the other dean rejected everyone's invitation with some embarrassment.

The entire altar was silent again.

Both Shengzifu and Mingqi have no intention of joining any sect forces, and plan to go to Zhongzhou to develop after graduation.

Regarding this, those judge elders who were quite critical at first could only sigh with regret.

Sure enough, those who are truly talented and capable have a different vision than ordinary people, and they also have enough courage and confidence not to be the chosen one.

Then, there is only one person left.

The first place in the national academy competition.

Everyone's eyes immediately shifted to Chi Yunzhi, who had nothing to do with him and was in a state of eating melons.

Where does she belong?Or would she, like the other three in the top four, refuse to be recruited by any force?
