National Selection Tournament

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

After fierce competition, each university determined its top three contestants.

These outstanding contestants, led by their instructors, arrived at the entrance to the ruins, 1,000 kilometers away from the Capital Base.

This was a vast valley, and when Hua Qiang and his group arrived, there were already several people gathered there.

In front of the valley, a huge grandstand rose from the ground, with rows of seats neatly arranged on it, as if waiting for the audience to arrive.

In front of the stands stood an enormous 1000-meter screen, divided into countless small squares, with images flashing continuously, as if telling people that an exciting event was about to begin.

Clearly, this is to allow everyone to watch the battle between these players in the ruins in real time, ensuring that no exciting moment is missed.

On the left side of the display screen, a special area is set aside to display the names of the contestants from each university, from top to bottom.

Azure Dragon Academy: Long Mo'er, Murong Minjiang, Guo Maocai.

White Tiger Academy: Wu Qiqi, Fu Wanglin, Ouyang Duoduo.

Zhu Cui Academy: Huo Wu, Liu Wendong, Wu Ling'er.

Black Tortoise Academy: Huang Shanshan, Ji Moli, Bao Youzhi.

South Sea University: Ye Bingxue.

Xijiang University: Deng Pingguan, Yang Yu'er, Shi Wenqi.

More than seventy universities and more than two weeks' worth of contestants are all listed.

When everyone saw that the South Sea University contestant had only one name on the screen, they were all surprised and looked at each other, some with mocking expressions.

Is it because South Sea University can't find anyone to work?

Why not at least send two people to be just there for show? Why only one player?

Is this a sign of looking down on this selection competition, or does it indicate absolute self-confidence?

Perhaps their finances are too tight, and they can only afford to cover the expenses for one person.

Keep your voice down, can't you see Wu Qixian sitting in the stands?

If he hears you, he'll beat you so badly you'll be bedridden for half a year. Then you'll be left to confide in a ghost!

[Uh... thanks for the reminder, bro. That old man is no pushover. He could really start a fight if we don't talk. My life's more important, gotta run!]

The valley was bustling with noise, a cacophony of sounds. Hua Qiang and Ye Bingxue stood together with three contestants from the White Tiger Academy.

At that moment, he also saw Wu Qixian, Wu Qingxuan, and Lu Youzhi sitting in the stands. The old man was arguing with someone next to him, his face red and his neck thick.

Hua Qiang's name was not on the list for this national selection competition.

Because he had already been designated as the captain of the ten-person team, and sending him to participate in this kind of competition would have no practical significance.

However, Hua Qiang still had the right to enter the ruins, which was at his request.

He could choose not to participate or even make a move, but he had to keep an eye on Ye Bingxue.

After all, there were some powerful mythical Mutant Beasts in the ruins this time, and he was worried that if something unexpected happened, it would be too late to regret it then.

Ye Bingxue also knew Hua Qiang's identity. While she was happy, she also felt a strong sense of crisis.

She needs to be among the top nine in this trial competition in order to participate in the World University Martial Arts Alliance Competition with Hua Qiang.

Just to be on the safe side, Hua Qiang has been giving her extra training these past two days, raising her Qi and Blood values even higher, and successfully advancing her to the High-Level Martial Ancestor.

The contestants this time are all at least High-Level Martial Ancestor, most are at the Peak Martial Ancestor, and there are also a few at the Martial King Realm.

If one doesn't raise their cultivation level by one level, it will probably be difficult to enter the top nine.

These contestants are all seasoned veterans, highly skilled in all aspects, and possess formidable strength. Competing against them presents a significant challenge.

Yuan Hua Qiang did not approve of Ye Bingxue entering a world-class competition too early, but he couldn't resist her coquettishness. It was too powerful, and he surrendered immediately.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Long Mo'er shone brightly like a dazzling star.

She wore a tight-fitting leather combat suit, the high-quality leather clinging tightly to her shapely body, showcasing her perfect figure to the fullest.

The black boots added a touch of heroism to her, and every step she took seemed to carry a unique rhythm.

He Longsword across his shoulder, the intricate patterns on the scabbard shimmering with a mysterious light in the sunlight.

Her fair skin was flawless, and her delicate features were perfectly proportioned, especially her bright eyes, which seemed to hold endless stars.

With such stunning beauty and a curvaceous figure, she instantly attracted the attention of many.

Those admiring or covetous glances were all directed at her, like iron filings attracted to a magnet. But Long Mo'er oblivious to these gazes; her eyes were constantly searching for that familiar figure in the crowd.

Finally, Hua Qiang's figure came into her view.

In an instant, a bright smile bloomed on Long Mo'er's face, as beautiful and charming as a flower in full bloom in spring.

She skipped and hopped all the way toward Hua Qiang, her joyful steps as light as a fawn's, each step filled with happiness.

Upon reaching Hua Qiang's side, she spontaneously grabbed his arm, her voice sweet and coquettish, seemingly filled with endless affection.

"Hua Qiang Lixue, we've finally found you."

The voice was so sweet, like eating a mouthful of royal jelly, so sweet it was almost cloying.

Ye Bingxue narrowed her eyes, and her face instantly darkened.

Her cool gaze was fixed on Long Mo'er, and an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

In her view, Long Mo'er's move was clearly an attempt to poach her boyfriend and a provocation.

Ye Bingxue grabbed Hua Qiang's other arm and squeezed out a question through gritted teeth, "Who is she? When did you two meet?"

Hua Qiang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Why did he keep running into such absurd and ridiculous things?

He quickly forced a smile and introduced, "Little sister, this is Long Mo'er, a senior from the Azure Dragon Academy. I met her when I was training in the Void Rift."

Then he looked at Long Mo'er and said, "This is my younger sister, Ye Bingxue. You two should get to know each other and visit each other more often in the future."

Ye Bingxue stretched out two fingers, pinched a piece of flesh on Hua Qiang's waist, and twisted it hard.

Ouch!

Hua Qiang inwardly cried out in pain, his face twitching uncontrollably.

The girl gripped his flesh with two fingers and began to rotate it.

He was too ashamed to cry out and could only endure it silently.

I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I suffer the torment of family law?

"That..."

Just as Hua Qiang was about to explain something, a sly glint flashed in Long Mo'er's eyes. She had already sensed Hua Qiang's unusual behavior and knew that it was that woman who was abusing him.

This woman is jealous, so let's add fuel to the fire...
