Chapter 28 Half True Half False Phoenix Feather

The tides rise and fall constantly, and time passes by as calmly as water.

On the morning of November 11, Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying took the high-speed rail to the capital of Qin State.

This city is famous and has a long history, its origins can be traced back three thousand years ago. In recent decades, it has been renamed again, and is now called Youlong City.

The first modeling competition had two finals areas, Shuimu University and Youlong University, which were the top two universities in Qin Country. The reason for the two areas was not because of the difference between men and women, but because one school did not have enough space.

The contestants are all high school and secondary vocational education recipients, and the competition venues are the two most prestigious universities. This arrangement is truly unique.

In the first half of this year, the big names have already been planning the modeling competition and the innovation and entrepreneurship competition, and the competition will begin in the second half of the year.

During these months, Shuimu University and Youlong University both built special dormitories for the contestants.

Each dormitory has a private bathroom, private balcony, air conditioning, heating, direct drinking water heater, and washing machine. The room is equipped with a 1.2×2 single bed, mattress, sheets, quilt, pillow, towel, disposable cup, shoe rack, towel rack, wall cabinet, desk, bookcase, chair, complete facilities and reasonable layout. The first floor of each building has a public bathroom, hot water room, and store, a bit like a hotel.

In addition to contestants and staff, there are also many star masters in the competition area.

Judging from their appearance, the Star Lords are all teenagers. This group of people wander around the competition area, and few people can recognize their true identities.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying were both in the Shuimu competition area. They each received an envelope at the registration office at the school gate, which contained a copper key, a stone square, a notice, and a map.

The square card is 17cm long, 8cm wide and 1cm thick, larger and heavier than a mobile phone, and seems to be made of white crystal. There are holes punched in the square card, and a black leather rope is passed through it.

The notice stated the rules for the finals. The preliminary and semi-finals lasted 20 minutes each, but the finals only lasted 10 minutes. During the game, the square card was hung around the neck. If the square card broke, touched the ground, or went out of bounds, the opponent would lose. In addition, the way to determine the winner in the semi-finals also took effect in the finals, such as the opponent going out of bounds, admitting defeat...

The map showed the location of the dormitories and the stadium. Their dormitories were not far from each other, so they decided to put their luggage away first and go to the stadium together.

Mu Zhengguang entered a tall building, got out of the elevator, and walked to the dormitory door. The solid and heavy iron dormitory door was difficult to break open by manpower. Considering that the most "outstanding" young people in the country gathered here, it was understandable to use a solid iron door.

He opened the door with a brass key. The tiled floor was spotless, obviously just cleaned. Those who lived here were "dangerous people", and the dormitory was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

He walked around the house, knocking on the walls, not missing any details, especially the bathroom, which needed to be carefully checked to avoid exposing important privacy.

Mu Zhengguang observed several suspicious points, but was not quite sure, so he switched to a more effective search method.

Theoretically, the force of existence can act on everything, but he couldn't do that at the moment. He spread out the domain of existence, consuming a lot of energy to let the force of existence operate in the domain until it filled the entire room.

Different things contain different forces of existence. For example, air and electronic devices contain different forces of existence. Mu Zhengguang cannot view the details of things in this way for the time being, but he can still judge whether things exist or not.

He found more than ten unknown devices hidden in the room, such as window frames, under the bed, inside the washing machine, on top of the air conditioner, etc. Fortunately, the bathroom was safe.

Mu Zhengguang calmly opened the suitcase, put out toiletries, towels, clothes and the like, and then went out.

He bought a pen and sticky notes in the store on the first floor, and found a secluded place to write something. After writing, he folded the sticky note toward the side with words on it and folded it into a square.

As soon as the two met, he threw the note to him.

Xu Ying opened the note, smiled and nodded after reading it. She used colored ink to dye the note, tore it into pieces, and threw the pieces into the trash can: "Let's go, it's time to watch the game."

There are four competition venues in the Shuimu competition area. The competition venues are covered by blue opaque cylindrical glass shells and separated from the rest area.

Above the rest area is the Star Lord’s viewing platform. They can see the stadium, but the people in the stadium cannot see them.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying walked through the contestant channel and came to the edge of the competition venue.

Hundreds of people have gathered here, and the crowd is blocked by fences. The stadium is close but no one is allowed to enter.

The stadium is a metal building with a radius of 100 meters. It is concave inward to form a spherical surface, like an oversized silver round-bottomed frying pan.

Facing the big competition, Mu Zhengguang was not so sure: "The competition field is too big, we must fight quickly and make a quick decision."

"I'm fine, come on. Protect yourself and don't get hurt."

Xu Ying values ​​fleeting opportunities. As long as she seizes the opponent's unstable state for a moment, she can win for a long time. As for whether the stadium is big or small, she doesn't care. She can always find opportunities. But for Guang, a big stadium is too disadvantageous. They walked around the school and watched four stadiums. There were many people next to each stadium.

Mu Zhengguang asked her: "Do you feel that there are too many people in the competition area?"

Xu Ying also noticed this. There were only 512 contestants in the Shuimu competition area. Not to mention that the competition had not started yet and everyone was not there, even if everyone was there, there shouldn't be so many people in each competition venue. Not to mention that there were many people outside the competition venue. Moreover, these people seemed to be her peers.

She said, “That’s more than the contestants, right?”

"Yeah. They're not contestants, but they're here too."

Xu Ying responded softly, "It doesn't matter. They are all insignificant people."

"Okay. It seems so."

There were at least five Star Lords who heard this: Wushan King, Dabie Mountain King, Yanshan King, Dongting Lake King, and Jingpo Lake King. Their territories were not small, and the girl's light words negated them all. However, the Star Lord had no intention of arguing with the contestants, so it didn't matter whether he heard this or not.

November 11th~25th, the first round of the finals.

Outside the stadium, Weiyang Palace.

The original magnificent palace has long gone, leaving only shade trees and grass.

There were few people in the ruins park, nor were there any luxurious buildings. It was autumn, and the pampas grass was in bloom, making the place look even more desolate.

Two girls walked to the rammed earth platform of the main hall of the Jiaofang Palace. One of them raised her hand and grabbed a red feather from the air.

The shape of this feather is like waves and flowers. There are more than ten "eyes" in the feather and countless filaments on the edge of the feather.

Zhang Qiuying asked, "Is this the phoenix feather you mentioned?"

Yu Chen sighed: "I was talking about the half-real and half-fake phoenix feather. The first piece has been found."

"Is there a big difference?"

Yu Chen looked at the feather in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Very big. It is not certain whether the phoenix exists. If it does not exist, there will be no real feathers. When I collect twelve half-real and half-fake phoenix feathers, I will..."

"Wait a minute, there's one thing I don't understand. As long as you want, no one can defeat you. Is it necessary to fight so hard?"

The "desperately" that Zhang Qiuying mentioned did not refer to fighting on the battlefield, but to the fact that Yu Chen had visited hundreds of scenic spots in the past two months, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Yu Chen put away the feathers, stretched his arms, and asked slowly: "Is it impossible for the King of Yangtze River to defeat me?"

Changjiang Wang Zhang Qiuying hesitated for a moment, she hummed quietly, and then said: "In your asymptotic domain, I can't beat you."

Yu Chen was in a very good mood at the moment, and his attitude unconsciously became more arrogant: "On the other hand, if you are not in my asymptotic domain, I will definitely lose. Twelve half-real and half-fake phoenix feathers are enough to make up for the gap between you and me."

"You are my spokesperson. Is it necessary to bridge the gap between you and me?"

Yu Chen said: "Ever since people have asymptotes, life has become fragile, as if we could die at any time. To prevent this from happening, it is of course necessary to become stronger."

Zhang Qiuying shook her head. "You worry too much. We are still here. We have countless opportunities to change the course of this story before it completely turns into a horror story."

Yu Chen suddenly remembered that this girl who looked about the same age as her was actually a very high-level Star Master. The twelve half-real and half-fake Phoenix feathers could make up for the current gap, but it was unknown what kind of enhancement the Star Master would get in the future.

Thinking of this, her expression became serious, and she was no longer as fearless and open-minded as before: "That's what I did."

Yu Chen said this just to show off. She has been traveling all the time and has not participated in any of the good or bad things in the world.

King Changjiang did not expose her, but cheered her on: "Without us, human life would really be worthless. This world is still worth our efforts, and we cannot let it collapse easily."

　To facilitate your follow-up reading, tomorrow's two chapters will be advanced to 0:30 and 0:35. In the next chapter, the conversation between Star Lord and Yu Chen continues, and a more wonderful secret is about to be revealed.
