Li Chen smiled and said, "I didn't expect those guys to be so quick."
"But if we can't even handle this small challenge, how can we face those holy children?"
Mu Hen was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What Holy Son..."
He joined the team the latest, and there were many things he didn't know. Even Ji Mumu knew quite a lot, so he was actually a bit confused.
However, Su Zhe still offered an explanation for him.
Immediately Mu Hen shouted, "Let's see who dares to stop us from entering the Academy Tournament!"
"I'll hang him from a telephone pole and beat him!!"
Everyone laughed. Although Mu Hen was a new member, he had a good personality, mainly because he hung out with Su Zhe every day, and they were birds of a feather.
Everyone quickly became familiar with each other, but Su Zhe was quite unhappy about the idea of "birds of a feather flock together," saying it was called _____.
Li Chen said, "In that case, everyone should go back and rest properly. Consider this challenge as a warm-up exercise."
"This is also a good opportunity for us to get to know each other's abilities."
See you at the Battle Institute tomorrow.
Their team was formed in a hurry, after all, they had just returned from the Ruined Pass, and Mu Hen Ji Mumu had just joined the team. Although they had seen each other's strength, they had never faced an enemy before.
Real-world practice is the best training.
This match has many advantages for them; at least Li Chen doesn't believe they will lose.
Before we knew it, it was the next day.
The news had such a great impact that even many Sequence Masters in Canglan were alarmed.
The Battle Institute was already packed with people even though it was only early morning.
Faluo smiled and looked at Yu Qingnian, asking, "What do you think of today's match?"
"That's strange. In previous years, the academy would have been completely quiet at this time of year. I didn't expect it to be so turbulent this year."
Yu Qingnian laughed and said, "What else can I say? I know my own students well, of course I support them."
Faluo watched Yu Qingnian place bets on the Student Badge.
It was clearly visible above.
Perhaps only a mentor like Yu Qingnian could offer such optimistic support.
However, this inter- Academy Tournament did indeed liven up the atmosphere within the college.
After all, the students of Canglan only care about Study Points and Ranking Board now. It's quite interesting to finally see real infighting on the Ranking Board.
The Sequence Master don't stop them; they even guide them.
Because they knew that fighting was the best harmonizing element in the academy.
It can ignite the fighting spirit of the trainees.
At the entrance of the Battle Institute.
Li Chen and his companions didn't try to avoid suspicion and ate breakfast at a breakfast shop.
Ji Shao led Ji Mumu in and said, "We've found out. This match was instigated by someone named Shi Nie."
"His abilities are very strong; he possesses the A-rank ability, Constant Blood."
"It allows you to control the blood of all living beings, but this ability has a major flaw: it requires extremely strong mental power."
"But the fact that he dared to challenge us shows that he has at least very good control over his abilities."
"The abilities of the other members can also be found; they are all B-level abilities."
Li Chen frowned. If that was the case, then the outcome of the match was already decided. Shi Nie probably hadn't expected the terrifying strength of their current lineup.
But so be it. Now that we've already stepped into this challenge, there's no turning back.
They were not afraid of Shi Nie.
After finishing a simple breakfast in front of countless students, the group headed towards the Battle Institute.
The Battle Institute.
The stands were already packed with people.
Qi Hong was also there. He sat in the audience, pursed his lips, and murmured, "Mu Mu, how did you join their team..."
After all, they were childhood friends. The sudden news that Ji Mumu was actually a member of Li Chen's team shocked him like a downpour.
As Li Chen's rival, the fact that Ji Mumu had joined his team was causing him some unease, though he didn't know why.
He came here today specifically to watch the match, wanting to see for himself if it was true— Ji Mumu really joined?
On the other side.
Shi Nie and the others were already resting in the preparation area.
"How did it go? Did you get your hands on that Forbidden Object?" Shi Nie tilted his head and asked.
The burly man beside him pulled out three strangely colored beads from his pocket.
Shi Nie's eyes lit up, and he sneered, "Good, well done."
"With this Forbidden Object around, we have no reason to fear Li Chen and the others."
"Isn't it just about ability? We can't beat them, but surely we can win with Forbidden Object?"
"Pan An, go and call the others over, let's finalize the tactics."
Pan An, the burly man, grinned and nodded, saying, "Alright, but isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"After all, it's just a competition. If something goes wrong, we'll be held accountable."
Shi Nie snorted coldly and said, "No need. Even if something happens today, I'll cover it up. You don't need to worry about it."
"All right..."
Pan An then left.
Shi Nie lay alone on the sofa, sunlight streaming through the window onto half of his face. He pulled a pocket watch from his pocket, a lingering look flashing in his red eyes as he murmured something softly.
"Brother, this is all I can do for you."
"I will definitely not let Li Chen and the others enter the Academy Tournament."
"After all, I know their strength; they should be your biggest competitors in this Academy Tournament."
"I'll take care of one team for you first..."
In the preparation area.
Li Chen and the others weren't idle either; they listened to Su Xian and Ji Shao arguing.
"How many times has this happened?"
Su Zhe counted on his fingers and said, "This is the fifth time. The two of them have argued at least five times since they met."
Ji Mumu, standing next to Li Chen, asked, "What five times?"
She was so close that Li Chen could even smell a faint fragrance.
Su Zhe began, "How many times have Ji Shao and Su Xian argued?"
"Don't you know that Su Xian and Ji Shao are now known as a quarrelsome couple in the academy?"
Ji Mumu covered her mouth and smiled. She had heard the term "quarrelsome couple" on the street before, but she didn't expect it to refer to Sister Ji Shao.
If she found out, she'd probably burn the person who said that to the ground.
Just then, footsteps were heard.
Jianping walked over carrying the box. He had greatly reduced his aura; the killing intent he had unintentionally released earlier was now completely hidden within his body. At least now he looked like an ordinary person.
"Hey, Brother Ping, you're finally here."
"I thought you were going to go into seclusion until the Academy Tournament started."
Su Zhe joked
At least that's what he thought before; he assumed that only the six of them would participate in the competition.
Jianping gestured with his chin and said, "Should I go back now?"
