The Reason They Had to Secure Academy Tournament Qualification

Su Zhe's eyes gleamed as he shouted, "Chen-ge, Chen-ge, there's so much delicious food here!!"

"It seems like these are only available inland. Instructor Yu so kind to us; he even let us enjoy a delicious meal before we leave."

"Ha ha."

Li Chen pursed his lips, but his gaze remained fixed on the arena that had already been set up in the middle.

Instructor Yu is indeed very good to them now, but that might not be the case later.

He shook his head as he watched Su Zhe grinning and wandering around under the shed.

Clearly, Su Zhe has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Jianping, who was standing to the side, remained silent. He had also noticed something amiss. The addition of a fighting ring and food clearly indicated that a sparring match was about to take place.

They could easily guess what their Instructor Yu was thinking, since he never played games with them.

Then a few more people walked over.

A Jin looked at Su Zhe, who was pacing around the table, and teased him.

"Wow, this dinner is really good."

"It's just that someone was a bit of a spoilsport."

Su Zhe immediately turned his head, his eyes filled with anger. Hearing the mocking voice, he knew exactly who it was, and his hand was already reaching for the hammer on his back.

At that moment, a reprimanding voice rang out.

Su Xian frowned and said, "A Jin!"

"We didn't come here to attend the dinner party."

His gaze fell on Li Chen, his meaning clear.

Li Chen naturally understood the meaning behind his words.

The qualification for the team competition in the Academy Tournament —yes, this thing has actually always been in Li Chen's possession and he hasn't sold it.

Today is the last day of training back inland. After returning to the academy, it won't be long before Canglan submits the list.

If Su Xian and her team want to enter the team competition of the Academy Tournament, they must obtain the qualification today and then go back to the Academy Tournament to figure out who the participants will be.

However, the prerequisite is whether he can qualify for the Academy Tournament competition, and all of that now depends on Li Chen.

"Conditions, what are you willing to give up?"

"After all, I made quite a sacrifice to sell this qualification."

Li Chen wasn't lying. In order to sell the qualification for the Academy Tournament, he promised that old fox that he had to get into the top ten in the Academy Tournament.

It's important to know that the Academy Tournament involves all academies nationwide. The Imperial Capital and Canglan Academy are ranked first and second, respectively, so the pressure on their participants will only Multiplication. Other academies will definitely send their strongest students to fight.

Although Li Chen was confident of making it into the top ten, there are always stronger people out there, and no one knew just how intense this Academy Tournament would be.

Su Xian frowned, deep in thought.

To be honest, he didn't know what Li Chen needed. Based on what he observed with his own eyes, Li Chen didn't lack anything.

Even the Demon Blade that Li Chen is holding now is something he had already observed to be a Forbidden Object.

Merit can be exchanged for money, just like Student Badges, and he knew that Li Chen must have quite a few now.

It seems that what he wanted to trade was something Li Chen didn't even want.

Li Chen is now too wealthy, lacking almost nothing, which Su Xian somewhat helpless.

He's just a trainee now. If he could go back inland and ask his family for permission, he might have something worthwhile to offer, but right now he really doesn't.

And so the others went into the shed on their own, leaving only the two of them there to talk.

Li Chen wasn't in a hurry. It wasn't that he couldn't sell the Academy Tournament qualification; he just needed to find a qualified person for it.

He had previously agreed to that old fox's request, but there were a series of conditions attached to the transfer of the Academy Tournament qualification, one of which was that the team of the person being transferred needed to be quite strong.

He didn't know what "good strength" meant in the old man's eyes, but he definitely needed a team that could stand out in team competitions.

It's impossible for Li Chen now; the team has already disbanded, leaving only Su Zhe and Jianping, making it impossible for them to participate in the Academy Tournament team competition.

Then the only option is to transfer it.

After a long silence...

Su Xian remained silent, but his brows furrowed repeatedly before he finally waved his hand helplessly and said, "I don't know what you need, but I don't have much to trade."

"Academy Tournament qualification..."

Halfway through his speech, his expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant. He paused, but still didn't speak, as if he had some unspeakable secret.

Even Li Chen noticed the change in his expression.

Sometimes he didn't understand why Su Xian and Ji Shao were both vying for the qualification for the Academy Tournament.

But it seems they weren't acting in their own self-interest.

Li Chen's expression didn't change much as he calmly said, "Tell me, why do you need this qualification for the Academy Tournament?"

"I didn't really care about what you gave me, but now I'm suddenly interested. Why are both Ji Shao and you so concerned about the Academy Tournament?"

Su Xian paused, seemingly unwilling to speak.

But after hesitating for a few minutes, he finally started rambling on.

"The Academy Tournament —ordinary students who enter Canglan Academy don't really understand what that means."

"Of course, I'm not talking about ability, but rather the family background."

"Whether it's Ji Shao or me, we both have reasons why we must qualify for the Academy Tournament. It's not that I want to, but rather because of my family."

Su Xian looked up at the setting sun and paused in her speech.

"Besides, actually... I didn't want to participate in any battle for the championship or the number one spot, but I'm already in the game."

"Moreover, I have a compelling reason to fight. There's someone from the Imperial Capital Academy sitting high on that throne, looking down at me and awaiting my challenge."

His words clearly made Li Chen fall into deep thought.

It clearly affected him greatly. What he said was true. Ordinary families cannot compare to the powerful family behind Su Xian. The undercurrents between families cannot be seen on the surface, but as members of the family, they can feel them.

From this perspective, Su Xian is just a pawn in their family's game. However, his words reveal that he actually wants to prove himself. In other words, both Ji Shao and Su Xian are vying for a spot in the Academy Tournament competition.

They were all going to the Academy Tournament to meet someone, and that person was someone from their family.

Li Chen pursed his lips and asked, "If you and Ji Shao are both going to participate in the Academy Tournament, why can't you form a team together?"

"Ji Shao is not weak, at least not in Canglan."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Su Xian's eyes.

"Who would want to team up with Ji Shao? She's always getting her hands on my head with a single spark."

"I'm afraid I'll go bald before the Academy Tournament even starts. You know, as a mage, I lose a lot of hair."

"We're like oil and water, incompatible."

At that moment, a pleasant yet angry shout rang out.

"Su Xian, do you want to be burned by the flames again?"

Su Xian's expression froze instantly; speak of the devil, and he appears.

The main problem is that his slanderous remarks were heard.
