Three poles a day and Shangjing University.
The magnificent buildings sprawled across the land like giant beasts, bustling with noise and people coming and going.
With the National Martial Arts University's opening day approaching, the number of visitors to the campus has naturally begun to increase significantly.
We've arrived.
Zuo Qingyu gazed at the massive academy below, a rare excitement appearing in her sharp, cold eyes.
You seem quite excited?
Ye Li looked up and asked casually.
To be honest, he was also looking forward to it. After all, judging from the scale of its facilities alone, Shangjing University was no less impressive than the Fengyun University he remembered.
Especially since he had briefly looked up some information on the way here, he discovered that on the so-called international rankings, Huaxia Shangjing University was ranked several places higher than Fengyun University.
Does this mean that the students here are generally of higher quality than those at Fengyun University?
Ye Li's thoughts wandered as his gaze swept across Shangjing University in front of him.
Green hills and clear waters, bustling and prosperous city.
It would be even more perfect if there were a ranking of the most talented people, similar to a "Fengyun Ranking".
Unfortunately, according to online information, there isn't any here, and I have no reason to make a move...
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Zuo Qingyu's voice rose at the end, subtly expressing her joy, and she was the first to descend.
Call--
The two landed one after the other in front of the gate of Shangjing University.
The young girl, dressed in simple blue robes and barefoot, stood out from the ground, while the White-robed Youth remained calm and handsome. Their striking outfits instantly attracted many curious glances.
Immediately afterwards.
Zuo Qingyu and Ye Li had only taken a few steps when a tall, white-haired old man came to greet them.
"Principal Zuo, you arrived very quickly."
He had a smile on his face and a deep voice, and was followed by several teachers from Shangjing University.
Before Zuo Qingyu could speak, he looked at the White-robed Youth behind Zuo Qingyu and asked:
"Is this... the student participating in this Exchange Competition?"
"Not bad," Zuo Qingyu said calmly.
"He is truly a handsome man."
The Principal of Shangjing University offered a polite compliment, then smiled at Ye Li and said, "Hello, student, I am Ning Guohua, the president of Shangjing University."
"I've finally seen the real person! Principal Zuo kept you hidden so well; he wouldn't tell me who you were before we came."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zuo Qingyu seemingly casually.
Zuo Qingyu snorted coldly.
She didn't inform the other party beforehand, simply because she was worried that they had heard about Ye Li's deeds and would therefore refuse to participate in the Exchange Competition.
Given the extent of Principal of Shangjing University's trust in that Little Gun God, it's unlikely that a situation like this—where someone is afraid to accept a challenge—would occur.
But the boy on their side was clearly far more extraordinary.
To prevent any accidents, it's always good to be prepared.
At this moment, students coming and going, as well as several teachers from the capital, were all looking at this place.
The other party was already in a difficult situation, so there was no need to hide their name anymore.
"Now I can finally speak."
Ning Guohua looked at Ye Li again, his smile unchanged, "May I ask how I should address you, classmate?"
He wanted to see just who this mysterious young man, whom Zuo Qingyu believed could rival Zhu Zhengchuan, really was.
Without a black belt covering his eyes or carrying a long sword, he definitely isn't that Blind Swordsman.
Thinking of this, Principal of Shangjing University Ning Guohua of Beijing University felt a slight stirring in his heart.
If that's the case, could it be that person...?
"Fengyun University, Ye Li."
Ye Li stepped forward and politely introduced himself.
As soon as the words were spoken, the students who had been watching the situation changed their expressions.
There aren't any special events happening right now, so what are the students from Fengyun University doing at Shangjing University?
The answer is self-evident.
They've come to cause trouble!
This is truly something I've never seen before.
With Zhu Zhengchuan, known as the "Little Gun God," now in charge at Shangjing University, how dare students from other universities come and cause trouble?!
It really was that child... Ning Guohua's lips curled into a smile.
So far, everything has been within his expectations.
"Principal Ning, you haven't announced this yet, have you?"
Taking in everyone's reactions, Zuo Qingyu frowned and asked, "Didn't I already inform you that the competition starts at 3 PM this afternoon?"
Her goal was to shut these old folks who loved to make excuses up completely and teach them the lesson that "if you can't do something right, don't blame the road for being uneven."
That's why the matter was publicized extensively within Fengyun University.
Surprisingly, the other party didn't take it seriously.
How can this be allowed?
Without a massive audience, these cunning old fogies have countless ways to cover up their incompetence.
Therefore, this competition must be made public.
"Don't worry, Principal Zuo."
Principal of Shangjing University smiled politely and said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, even without publicity, with Zhengchuan's reputation, it won't take three hours to fill all the seats."
Having said that, it seemed as if he was trying to prove his credibility.
He raised his hand and pointed, and ink-colored ripples appeared from his fingertips, writing in the air.
At the same time, two lines of gilded text gradually appeared on a tall stone monument in the rear campus:
"Students, this afternoon at 3 PM, your senior Zhu Zhengchuan will be at the No. 1 Training Ground for Exchange Competition with top students from Fengyun University."
"Anyone interested can go see it then."
The [Floating Shadow Giant Stone] connects to the waist tags of all students in the school. There is a similar facility in Fengyun University, which is basically a school-wide broadcast system.
Upon seeing this, the crowd nearby erupted in uproar.
Some students even excitedly took out their phones and started announcing the news in various group chats.
"..."
Ye Li raised an eyebrow. With his keen hearing, he could even hear gasps of surprise coming from the campus ahead.
Such amazing popularity...
It reminded him of his past experiences in Qingshan City.
"Principal Zuo, are you satisfied now?"
Seeing Ye Li's reaction, Ning Guohua's face showed a hint of smugness.
There's no other reason than that any Exchange Competition involving Zhu Zhengchuan generates such a heated discussion within Shangjing Province!
He withdrew his hand and waited for the other person's reply.
I thought I would see Zuo Qingyu with a serious expression.
Unexpectedly, the girl in green wore a rare smile, and uttered cold words:
"Well done."
Ning Guohua frowned almost imperceptibly, then quickly relaxed, taking it as the other party being deliberately mysterious or putting on a show of composure.
His gaze swept over Ye Li.
After confirming that the boy's aura did not exhibit the fluctuations characteristic of someone who had just broken through, they were completely relieved.
A mere Fourth-Tier Heaven Pass Realm prodigy? Trying to scare me?
Ning Guohua sneered inwardly.
He turned slightly to the side, gestured towards the school, and said with a smile:
"Please, gentlemen."
Zuo Qingyu glanced sideways.
Ye Li nodded slightly.
After briefly experiencing the gradually heating up atmosphere on campus, he casually strolled into the school.
