Chapter 91 Lottery Results

Three days later in the morning, Zhou Long called Lu Yang and others together, briefly explained the rules of the competition, and took them to breakfast.After the meal, Zhou Long led the crowd straight to Tianlong Academy. After passing through several streets, a huge gate of the academy appeared in everyone's sight. The gate was so domineering that it was carved out of jade. Carved with "Tianlong Academy" four big characters,

These four characters are like flying dragons and phoenixes, and each stroke is vigorous and powerful. It can be seen that the person who carved these four characters is also a strong martial artist.

Everyone stood under the gate, sighing for a while, the gate of the Sky Academy is so domineering, one can imagine how the interior of the academy is.

However, everyone just sighed and didn't think much about it, after all, they would never be able to study and practice martial arts in such a place in their lifetime.

Wang Liqun glanced at Han Ruoxue beside him, and said sarcastically to Lu Yang: "Today we are going to have a martial arts competition, but unfortunately none of us were injured, you can't participate in the competition, you can only watch the scene at most."

Wang Wu has always held a grudge against Lu Yang, and couldn't help but said: "Master, how can you play with that level of cultivation? Even if you go up to the competition, I'm afraid you will be beaten down by others in one round."

"His cultivation level is so low that I'm ashamed to say that he is a new student of our Minsheng Academy." Wang Liqun said with a smile, "Today's competition depends on us. I'm not bragging. There are not many people with this level of cultivation, I might be able to get the top three!"

Lu Yang snorted at the words of the two singing in unison, and said, "Then congratulate Young Master Wang first, I hope you can represent Minsheng Academy to get good grades."

Everyone quickly walked to Tianlong Academy. The surrounding buildings are all in royal style, especially the well-arranged courtyards, which make people want to live in them after seeing them.Everyone couldn't help but say a few words at first, but in the end, there were houses like this everywhere, and they got used to it after looking at them.

After a while, everyone came to a huge arena before the match. This arena was much larger than Minsheng Academy. The bluestone on the arena was also carved with dense and strange patterns, and these patterns were even more primitive.If you look carefully, you can be surprised to find the powerful energy contained in each line.

Zhu Xi looked at it for a while, became interested, and asked: "Mr. Zhou, what are these lines?"

Zhou Long seemed to know the secret of these lines. He was silent for a while, and said truthfully: "These lines are formations, and they are extremely powerful defensive formations. Even if you use all your strength, you cannot break the bluestone."

"Ah! Such a powerful formation." Zhu Xi said in amazement, "Can the strong of that day smash it?"

Zhou Long shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Don't guess, even if I hit with all my strength, I can't defeat it. This is a formation arranged by the immortal. How can it be so easy to break?"

While everyone was talking, two groups of people came outside the gate, and each group was followed by ten people.

The two leading middle-aged men looked about the same age as Zhou Long, both in their early 40s.

Zhou Long obviously knew the two of them, he motioned for Lu Yang and the others to stand here first, then walked over, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Sun, Brother Duan, don't come here without any harm!"

Sun Yiming and Duan Dezhang are both Heaven Rank powerhouses, and their cultivation bases are higher than Zhou Long's, and they have both reached the late Heaven Rank realm.

The former is the instructor of Xuanwu Academy of Tianlong Academy, and the latter is the instructor of Xuanwu Academy of Dihu Academy. Both of them were ordered to bring new students to the competition.

Sun Yiming smiled slightly, cupped his fists and said, "I said who is leading the team this time! It turned out to be brother Zhou. How have you been these years? The environment over there is not as good as here!"

Zhou Long knew that he was making fun of him, so he didn't care, and said, "Although it doesn't look as grand as this side, the environment is not bad, and there are green mountains and green waters everywhere."

"What green mountains and green waters?" Duan Dezhang curled his lips and said with some disdain, "I think it's just a remote country!"

The new students from the three major academies have not yet competed, and the instructors secretly competed, especially Duan Dezhang, who looked down on Zhou Long from Minsheng Academy at all.

Zhou Long didn't care, who made him choose to go to Minsheng Academy, and said: "Since Brother Duan thinks it's a backcountry, then it must be a backcountry!"

"What I think is, it is..." Duan Dezhang emphasized.

Zhou Long's face changed slightly, and the other party ridiculed him again and again, and anyone else would be angry.

Sun Yiming was much smarter. Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Okay, don't worry about this issue, let's prepare for the next lottery!"

At this time, another group of people came, all of them were old people, all of them were over 60 years old.

These dozen or so elderly people look not young, at least over 60 years old, but they give people a completely different feeling.They are full of energy, their eyes are full of brilliance, their waists are straight, and their steps are light. They are obviously the strongest among the strong.These people are all the elders of the Western Chu Kingdom Martial Cultivation Alliance. Martial cultivators in the empire want to be recognized by the empire. After leaving the academy, they have to report to the Martial Cultivation Alliance.

This competition for new students from the three major academies was also secretly arranged by the Martial Cultivation Alliance. They hoped to select talented Martial Cultivators in the competition, and then bring them into the Martial Cultivation Alliance for training, and later become the generals and marshals of the empire. Ouchi bodyguard who guarded and protected the emperor.Of course, such a genius is not easy to choose. Over the years, only a dozen or so people have been selected, and sometimes even one of the 30 people cannot be selected.

When more than a dozen old men came over, Zhou Long and others hurriedly bent down and clasped their fists, "I have seen all the elders..."

The elders just nodded without speaking, and walked straight to the high platform not far away.

After sitting down, an elder sitting in the middle stood up and said to Zhou Long and others: "Stand in line!"

Zhou Long and others came to the students of the three major academies, and asked them to line up in a pair and stand under the high platform.

After a while, more than 30 people were lined up. The elder Ximen Chengde coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Everyone, you are welcome to come to the competition for the new students of the three major academies. If you can come here, you will prove that you have certain abilities. However, If you want to get a good ranking in the competition, you still need to work harder. There is only one chance, and now it is in front of you, are you sure you can get a good ranking?"

At this remark, everyone's blood boiled with excitement, and they shouted in unison: "There is..."

Lu Yang also shouted loudly. Although he knew that he would not be able to participate in this competition, he was also infected by the atmosphere of the scene.

Ximen Chengde nodded in satisfaction, immediately raised his right hand and made a downward movement, and continued: "I believe everyone knows the rules of the competition. Let me briefly explain it here. The three major academies each have ten students. The first round is a lottery competition with 30 people, and among the 15 winners, 14 of them will be drawn again, and the other will have a bye.”

Speaking of this, Ximen Chengde paused for a moment, and continued: "This year is different from the past. In the past, there was a bye draw. Whoever gets the bye can enter the next round of competition. This year is different. We old guys will choose the former The most outstanding person in a round of competitions, let him have a bye, do you understand?"

"Understood." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Since you all understand, I won't talk nonsense here." Ximen Chengde said loudly, "I announce that the lottery draw for the competition has officially begun..."

Then, two guards came up, and one of them held a wooden barrel in his hand.

One of the elders walked out, he took the barrel and came to an open space beside the high platform, and said in a deep voice, "I will be in charge of drawing lots, and the ones whose names I call out stand together two by two, ready to compete in the arena The rules of the competition are very simple, as long as one side is kicked out of the ring or admits defeat, the competition will be considered over."

Yang Yuheng raised his right hand, put it in the barrel filled with everyone's names, and quickly groped for it.

Soon, two names appeared in his hands. Yang Yuheng opened the note and glanced at it, then said in a deep voice, "Wang Wu of Minsheng Academy, Liu Dequan of Dihu Academy."

Wang Wu and Liu Dequan took a step forward and stood at the front of the high platform. They were the two of them in the first competition.

"Li Xiaopang from Minsheng Academy, Sun Fei from Tianlong Academy..."

"Wang He from Tianlong Academy, Peng Yue from Earth Tiger Academy..."

"..."

There were more than 30 people, and 26 people were selected quickly, leaving only the last four people.

Nine people have already walked out of Minsheng Academy, only Wang Liqun is left, but the other three are all masters of Sky Academy, among them is Lu Tao who is at the late stage of Xuanjie.Wang Liqun was very depressed. No matter what he chose, the people who would compete with him were all masters of Tianlong Academy. He originally wanted to get a good ranking in the competition, but now it seems that it is difficult to achieve.

However, the more depressing thing for Wang Liqun was yet to come, because he was not among the 30 people who drew lots.

Yang Liwei had established a relationship long ago, and the person Zhou Li was looking for was Yang Yuheng. He was a member of the Yang family, so he naturally had to obey Young Master Yang's orders.Yang Yuheng misunderstood the meaning of Zhou Li's words at the time. In fact, Yang Liwei asked him to arrange Lu Yang and Lu Tao for a competition, but he thought it would be enough to let Lu Yang play, and forgot to arrange them together.

Then, the next scene happened, Yang Yuheng said in a deep voice: "Lu Tao of Tianlong Academy, the night of Tianlong Academy is like smoke..."

As soon as he yelled these words, Lu Tao was dumbfounded. Of course Ye Ruyan knew that the other party's reputation was astonishing, not only the number one beauty in Sky Academy, but also the number one expert.Lu Tao really wanted to ask Yang Liwei to clarify, didn't you arrange for me to deal with Lu Yang, why did you become Ye Ruyan, isn't this embarrassing?

Ye Ruyan did come out from the crowd. When everyone saw her appearance, the other two academies gasped.

She was dressed in black, outlining her slender figure, and her beautiful face was cold and mysterious, like a phantom in the dark night.

It is such a beauty, whose beauty is indistinguishable from Han Xueruo's, who has cultivated to the state of Dzogchen in the late stage of the Xuan rank.She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and everyone really couldn't figure out whether she was extremely talented, or she practiced extremely hard, and why she was able to reach such a level in more than ten years?

But Wang Liqun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he came here to inquire about Ruyan's strength overnight, as long as he doesn't meet her, a cold beauty, he still has a chance.However, Wang Liqun was still relieved, but Yang Yuheng's next words made his eyes widen, and he even wondered if he heard it wrong.

"Lu Yang from Minsheng Academy, Zeng Xiaohu from Tianlong Academy..."
