Martial Hall.
Chen Mingzhi did not join Cottage.
However, he knew that the achievements of the Cottage afterwards would certainly be extraordinary.
As long as one can establish some connection with Cottage, it will be of immense benefit to him and his Lineage!
Even if Hidden Dao Academy is at its worst, it's still under the same power as Cottage!
The Cottage took off, and so did the forces associated with it.
That is to say, the Hidden Dao Academy will also take off.
When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Chen Mingzhi understood this principle.
Now, having cultivated in the Martial Hall, he has reached the Mid-stage Qianyuan Realm.
Such an outstanding individual naturally attracted the attention of the Martial Hall.
The resources of the Martial Hall also began to be tilted towards Chen Mingzhi.
After all, Chen Mingzhi was a renowned prodigy in the Central Region.
If resources aren't tilted towards geniuses, wouldn't that discourage these people?
It seems unfair to those trainees who are not qualified enough.
In fact, this is the greatest form of fairness!
You have enough talent to surpass someone like Chen Mingzhi.
Naturally, they will receive the same treatment!
Not talented enough?
Then I'm sorry, even if you are Qin Tiannan's son, or the son or nephew of other hall masters or elders, you cannot receive this kind of treatment.
This is one of the reasons why the Hidden Dao Academy is known as a sacred place for spreading the Dao.
The capable rise, the losers fall.
Sometimes, what appears unfair is actually the greatest form of fairness!
The head of the Martial Hall walked into Chen Mingzhi's courtyard and said with a smile, "Mingzhi, the freshman competition is about to begin. Why don't you give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mingzhi nodded.
He definitely has to participate in this freshman competition.
Putting aside the fact that the rewards are extremely generous.
They can receive more resources.
More than anything, he wanted to meet Shi Sheng.
And defeat them!
He wanted to prove that his talent was no less than Shi Sheng's!
Moreover, Chen Mingzhi has now broken through to the Mid-stage Qianyuan Realm.
With that in mind, he followed the Martial Hall toward the place of the Freshman Competition.
The head of the Martial Hall also had a smile on his face at this moment.
Finally, I was able to regain some recognition in the freshman competition.
In the previous competition, Cottage took the top spot.
This time, Chen Mingzhi, who had reached the Mid-stage Qianyuan Realm, was present.
Ye Qiubai and his group of monsters were also unable to participate.
Although Shi Sheng was accepted as a disciple by Lu Changsheng.
However, at that time he appeared to be only at the Purple Mansion Realm.
Surely he can't surpass Chen Mingzhi in just a few days?
Shi Sheng was also preparing to set off at this time.
Accompanying him were Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, and Xiao Hei.
As the senior brothers, they had to go and watch their junior brother's first battle.
In general, Mu Wan'er would definitely go along on such occasions.
It's fun, after all!
However, Mu Wan'er has now been recalled by Mu Heze, and it is unknown what they will discuss.
Mu Ziqing was also taken away by the old man sitting at the foot of the Dao-Seeking Mountain.
It seems there's something important going on.
He only left Ye Qiubai a letter.
She will wait for Ye Qiubai at the Dao-Seeking Mountain Qiudao Mountain.
As for Lu Changsheng?
hehe...
Watching kids fight is worse than taking a nap!
The venue for the freshman competition was unchanged from the previous year.
However, the number of participants and viewers has clearly doubled!
After all, the Cottage is famous.
This attracted numerous cultivators from all four regions to come and learn of its fame.
He joined the Southern Region Hidden Dao Academy.
Even the Northern Region Hidden Dao Academy's pillar of strength.
Yun Jing, the number one swordsman in the Northern Region.
He also brought his Jian Chaomian to watch.
The main hospital also sent a vice president to participate.
That is, Ding Yunhe, the vice president who participated in the previous aid mission to the Northern Region.
Ding Yunhe laughed and said, "Old man Yun, I didn't expect you to come too."
Yun Jing remained expressionless and said, "What, can't you come?"
Ding Yunhe smiled wryly, "I know you harbor resentment towards the General Hospital's initial opinion, but so many years have passed, and the Law Enforcement Hall has been reorganized. Just come back."
Yun Jing shook his head and said, "No need, I'm doing quite well in the Northern Region."
Seeing that Yun Jing remained unmoved, Ding Yunhe could only shake his head helplessly and give up trying to persuade her.
Qin Tiannan also came over, clasped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Welcome, both of you."
Ding Yunhe and Yun Jing returned the greeting.
He then said, "I heard that the Cottage has accepted a new disciple?"
Qin Tiannan nodded with a smile, "That brat Lu Changsheng accepted it himself."
Ding Yunhe chuckled, "I'm really looking forward to that person's performance!"
"Yes, he'll be there too."
The person the three were referring to was naturally Shi Sheng.
By this time, everyone had arrived.
In mid-air.
The disciples of Cottage, led by Ye Qiubai, also arrived here!
Everyone looked up.
I can't help but sigh.
So these are the disciples of Cottage? They True Qi.
Yun Jing also filled with emotion.
Back when Ye Qiubai was still at the Northern Region Hidden Dao Academy, he became famous for his swordsmanship.
He has now reached the level of Sword Ancestor.
He's on the same level as me!
If we were to fight now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for him.
Thinking of this, Yun Jing couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"Getting old!"
Inside the Sword Hall, Xin Hongyi looked up at Ye Qiubai.
A look of bewilderment crossed his eyes.
Back then, she was Qi Ingestion, but she was thoroughly humiliated in the newbie competition.
They received help afterward.
Now, Xin Hongyi has also reached the Early-stage Qianyuan Realm.
But I still couldn't catch up with him.
Ye Qiubai is already capable of contending with beings at the Void God Realm.
And this gap will only widen.
Xin Hongyi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Some people are like mountains that you can never climb in your entire life...
Everyone was ready.
Qin Tiannan stood up from his seat, spread his hands, and smiled, "Everyone is here. As you all know, the rules for this year's freshman competition have been changed."
"It consists of three wheels."
"The first round will still be by drawing lots."
"In the second round, you can choose your own opponent."
"In the final round, there will be a free-for-all, and the last person standing on the stage will be the winner."
"Of course, if anyone is dissatisfied with the result, they can choose to have the challenge reassigned."
The rules are simple.
The judges for the grand competition were selected by the dean of the Confucian Academy.
As for the inside story...
This has not happened yet.
Suddenly, Shi Sheng noticed a gaze fixed on him.
I couldn't help but look over there.
It's from the Martial Hall.
That person, I think his name is Chen Mingzhi?
Ye Qiubai naturally noticed this as well, and said with a smile, "It seems he's a little Qi Ingestion."
Hong Ying smiled gently, "Junior brother, prove yourself with your strength."
"Disciples of the Cottage must not be looked down upon by outsiders, nor should they be questioned by others."
Shi Sheng nodded heavily.
He's different now!
He has now risen from the ashes like Phoenix!
Next, the Dean of the Confucian Academy began the first round of drawing lots.
" Sword Hall, He Fan, versus Martial Hall, Chen Mingzhi."
Both of them came from the Central Region.
Once on stage, the battle began.
However, He Fan was quickly defeated.
After all, the difference in their levels of understanding is too great.
Chen Mingzhi looked at Shi Sheng and said, "Although your willpower is admirable, for now, I will defeat you."
