After Lu Changsheng, Mo Yu, and the First Elder Mo Lian left the Mo Clan.
Mo Ling and Mo Xing glanced at the portrait given to them by Mo Yu, and both of them were taken aback.
The people above... they seem to know some of them.
Mo Ling hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mo Hanlin and asked, "Patriarch, it seems that several of Mo Yu's senior brothers are from the Chaotic Spirit Academy, and they even participated in this qualifying competition..."
Mo Hanlin was also slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, let's give the spot to them when we encounter them."
"So they just gave up that spot?"
Mo Hanlin nodded and said, "I have a feeling that getting on Master Mo Yu's side is more important than actually entering that place."
Mo Ling nodded. "Then I understand."
Mo Xing, however, looked conflicted.
Mo Ling knew why Mo Xing was conflicted; it was because he had seen Mu Fusheng...
And Mo Xing happens to like the Jiu Bailu.
Mo Ling patted Mo Xing on the shoulder and said, "As long as it's fair competition and there's no underhanded trickery, there shouldn't be any problem. To become that person's disciple, one shouldn't be so narrow-minded."
Mo Xing nodded.
The two then immediately set off for Heaven-Reaching City.
After all, the qualifying rounds will begin in a day.
now.
There were significantly fewer people walking on the streets of Heaven-Reaching City. The people from the four academies were all cultivating at their strongholds, adjusting their energy and spirit to their best state.
The other cultivators arrived early at the venue for the qualifying competition, a martial arts arena outside the City Lord's Manor in Heaven-Reaching City.
There was originally only one arena, but in order to make the qualifying tournament more efficient, another arena was temporarily built.
The competition format involves drawing lots to determine which colleges will be paired up for a head-to-head match.
The two victorious academies will compete again, and whoever wins will secure a spot in the Six Realms Academy Grand Competition.
Soon, a day had passed in the blink of an eye.
The people from the four academies also arrived at the venue ahead of time.
The Heaven-Reaching City personally presided over the lottery.
The team leaders from the four academies all stepped forward to draw lots.
The results of the draw are as follows.
The Chaotic Spirit Academy versus the Holy Light Academy.
The Mechanism Academy is facing off against the Shuozhou Academy.
The team leader from the Shuozhou Academy immediately became serious.
This time, members of the Mo Clan school were involved in the Mechanism Academy's activities.
It can be said that the Mechanism Academy is the strongest in terms of apparent strength.
The people from the Holy Light Academy, on the other hand, looked completely relaxed.
Vice Dean Ming wasn't overly cautious either, instructing Mu Fusheng and the other main competition participants, "This time, Holy Light Academy not only has powerful external support, but also four cultivators of the Dao Law of Light, so we still need to be careful. Of course, I don't think you'll lose."
The Gu Sheng smiled and asked, "Then how should we arrange the order of appearance?"
The format of the qualifying tournament was completely different from the previous academy exchanges in Black Tortoise City.
Here, each academy first randomly sends out one person. If that person defeats the opponent, they can continue to stand on the dueling platform until all the students of that academy are defeated, and that side wins.
Therefore, some strategy is still needed when sending someone out.
The referee standing on the arena between the Chaotic Spirit Academy and the Holy Light Academy looked at both academies and asked, "Have you decided who will fight?"
The students of the Holy Light Academy all looked towards the Chaotic Spirit Academy.
The Chaotic Spirit Academy met his gaze.
Before the fight even started, sparks flew between the two sides at the boundary line!
Their auras had already begun to clash!
Vice Dean Ming then said, "You can decide how you'll make your appearance."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the audience.
Qin Chi then said, "The first battle is especially important. It's best to send someone who can maintain a winning streak, as this will directly affect morale later on."
The Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. It all comes down to your own strength."
Mu Fusheng nodded in agreement. "This isn't a military campaign; someone who has cultivated to this level shouldn't be easily affected by morale."
Qin Chi and didn't object, "Then just go wherever you want?"
Gu Sheng shrugged. "Anything is fine."
Seeing this, Xiao Hei pushed everyone aside speechlessly and stepped onto the dueling platform!
"Alright, no need to dwell on it anymore." The Gu Sheng smiled and turned his gaze to the dueling platform.
Holy Light Academy fielded an outside player in the match.
He was an outsider at the Mid-Stage Ancestor Realm, wielding a sword in his right hand, and seemed to be skilled in Swordsmanship.
Tan Zongzhao added from the side, " Flower Sword Lan Qing is also a renowned swordsman on the Heavenly Mystery Continent."
The referee shouted "Start!"
Lan Qing didn't utter any harsh words, nor did she underestimate him. She charged forward, arriving in front of Xiao Hei with lightning speed.
With a flick of his wrist, the longsword in his hand carved a sword flower at a speed invisible to the naked eye! Surrounding Xiao Hei, the sharp Sword Qi directly blocked all of Xiao Hei's evasive routes!
Xiao Hei, however, remained unhurried, grinning as he said, "Fancy and impractical, it's nowhere near as good as Senior Brother's Swordsmanship."
Lan Qing's face turned cold. "Break it first, then we'll talk."
However, when Xiao Hei unleashed his punch, the wall of sword flowers could no longer advance an inch!
When the fist struck the sword flower.
The sword flower transformed into individual petals that danced in the air before vanishing.
The fist continued its relentless charge towards Lan Qing!
Lan Qing's expression changed slightly, but she calmly stepped back!
Xiao Hei's fists continued to strike.
As Lan Qing retreated, he continuously carved sword flowers in his hands, each one sharper than the last!
However, under Xiao Hei's fists, all of this seemed to be in vain.
Even the sharpest blade could only leave white marks and tiny cracks on Xiao Hei's fist.
Suddenly, Xiao Hei roared, and streaks of blood wrapped around his legs, causing his speed to surge dramatically!
Before Lan Qing could react, his expression changed drastically, and he could only raise his longsword to block in front of his chest!
A punch landed on the longsword.
Click!
The longsword was actually cracking!
The terrifying force, as if striking a cow across a mountain, pierced through the longsword and landed on Lan Qing's chest.
Accompanied by a loud cracking sound.
Lan Qing's sternum shattered inch by inch!
He was sent flying backward off the dueling platform!
At the same level, Xiao Hei really has very few rivals.
Tan Zongzhao, the Gu Sheng, and Qin Chi and other disciples were not surprised at all, after all, they had already witnessed Xiao Hei's strength.
Xiao Hei looked towards the Holy Light Academy and grinned, "Speed is key! Anyone at the same level shouldn't come up; they're no match for me!"
In secret.
Mo Yu cupped his hands to his heart, exclaiming with delight, "Senior Brother is so strong!"
Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "You love showing off so much, don't you dare learn from your senior brother!"
