Chapter 39 Encounter
As the qualifying competition approached, the academy became more and more lively. The students in the top ten of the list returned one after another, which caused a big sensation in the academy.
Since Xingyan returned, Mu Xue stopped challenging and walked around randomly every day, traveling through the bustling neighborhoods all day. She didn't ask any questions about the time when Xingyan left.
With Mu Xue's company, Xing Yan completely relaxed. He just accompanied Mu Xue to play every day. Apart from meditating every night, he did not do any more practice. After all, the date of the qualifying competition is close, and he doesn't want to put any burden on his body.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a month had come to an end, and the qualifying competition had gradually begun.
Xingyan looked at the crowds of people in the academy and couldn't help but feel the blood in his body boiling. However, since he saw Aotian once in the library last time, Aotian seemed to have evaporated from the world and never appeared again.
Mu Xue stood beside Xingyan, looking at the people around him arrogantly, as if she didn't take these people seriously at all.
Just when Xing Yan was bored, a girl in red appeared in front of Xing Yan and looked at Xing Yan with a smile. This girl was Huo Lingyan.
Huo Lingyan said: "I have also heard about you recently. Although you have not taken action many times, some teachers seem to have a high evaluation of you. However, I will teach you a lesson. You should just stay here and spend your life in peace. The outside world is not something that rural children like you can touch. With your talents, you are not enough to swim in this rolling sea of blood."
"Don't speak in this way in front of me. The world outside is too vast. All you see is a corner of the feather." Xing Yan was not angry, but he still said calmly, but the smile in his eyes had completely cooled down.
Mu Xue was about to teach Huoling Yan a lesson, but was stopped by Xingyan and said with a hint of coldness: "The qualifying match is about to begin, and now is not the time to start. After the qualifying match begins, the real hunting will be achieved."
Mu Xue snorted unhappily, but just looked at Huo Lingyan coldly, and turned to look aside.
Huo Lingyan looked at Xingyan at this moment and felt a little cold in her heart. It seemed that she was not alone in front of him, but a wild beast. The arrogance she had developed for many years instantly appeared in a crack.
"Mu Xue, it turns out you are here." Shui Zhi quickly walked to Mu Xue and said excitedly.
Huo Lingyan glanced at Shuizhi with disdain, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
"Senior sister, you are here too." Xing Yan looked at Shuizhi in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm just here to take a look. I saw Huo Lingyan's face just now. Did you have any friends with her?" Shuizhi said with a smile.
Xing Yan was worried that Mu Xue would talk nonsense, so he immediately said, "Just say a few words, we don't know what kind of holidays we can have."
Shuizhi knew that Xingyan didn't want her to know, so she didn't ask.
"Which senior sister is going to reach this time?" Mu Xue asked with a smile.
"Forget it with my strength. This competition is just a look. On the contrary, you have to work hard in this competition." Shuizhi encouraged.
"Senior sister, do I still don't know your strength? If you didn't give in to me, how could I have entered the top twenty?" Mu Xue said with a smile, holding Shuizhi's hand.
"Don't polite me, do you think I can't see it? You haven't tried all your strength yet. The last time you were injured was just a disguise. I'm not confident that I can really hurt you. This qualifying match is not your stage. When you enter the inner courtyard, the Demon God Tower will belong to your stage three years later." Shuizhi said looking at Mu Xue's little face, but there was still a hint of dimness in her eyes. After all, the Demon God Tower is known as the holy land of the Demon God Tower, so young Demon Masters are eager to visit the Demon God Tower, and even stay in the Demon God Tower to practice.
"Senior sister, you already know, but I believe you will have the chance to go to the Demon God Tower." Mu Xue looked at Shui Zhi in front of her and said seriously. When she was chatting with Shui Zhi, she heard Shui Zhi talk about that her biggest dream in her life was to enter the Demon God Tower and practice hard in the Demon God Tower.
"I will work hard. Even if I can't pass the academy, I will use my own talent to strive to enter the Demon God Tower." Shuizhi said seriously, with a look of yearning in her eyes.
As the crowd increased, a white-bearded old man appeared above everyone and said seriously: "This year's qualifying match will not continue the previous ring challenge, but the jungle survival match. Only those who survived in a crisis-ridden environment are eligible to enter the inner courtyard."
As soon as the old man's voice fell, a noise immediately sounded in the crowd. After all, most of the strength here is only one level. Even those on the rankings have increased their pressure. They have changed from one-on-one face-to-face battles to crises, which makes them definitely a little overwhelmed. However, many people are a little proud. After all, encounters without restrictions can be formed into parties. Even if they are strong, they will always be tired.
Xingyan's mouth rose slightly. He had no worries about this competition method. Instead, he had a little more relaxation and no restricted area battles, which was also a kind of training for him.
The old man in the air said slowly again: "If anyone is willing to withdraw, he can leave now. After all, you are still very young now and still have a chance in the future. If the people who stay, once they fail, they will never have the possibility of entering the inner courtyard, and they may even be kicked out of the college."
The crowd suddenly became silent. Even if they failed in previous battles, they would only get rid of the rankings in the qualifying competition. As long as they had enough strength to rush to the top ten in the future, they could still enter the inner courtyard. However, this time it determined their fate. Once they failed, the inner courtyard would say goodbye to them forever and lose the cultivation of the inner courtyard. It would mean that if they wanted to squeeze into the forest of strong people, they would pay a huge price.
Who can enter the ranking list is not very talented, and there are also many talented people among them. However, after they thought for a while, some people began to leave, and most of them were freshmen. After all, they are still young and have a chance in the future. Why take such a risk when they are not sure.
About half an hour later, the crowd had no desire to leave, and everyone looked at the old man in the air with great nervousness.
"Since you have chosen to stay, don't regret the decision you chose." The old man said sternly.
There was still a silence in the crowd, and no one wanted to leave.
The old man in the air slowly fell down, stood on a stone pillar, and his body emitted a silver light. Six magic beads floated out of his body, and a huge magic circle appeared at everyone's feet, emitting a dazzling light.
Xingyan felt that his body was wrapped in a warm magic power, and the next moment he had a blank in his mind. When he regained consciousness again, he found that he appeared in a forest, but there was no one around him.
Just when he was confused, the old man's voice suddenly came from the woods: "You are in a illusion now. You don't have to worry about dying due to the battle, but the damage you are suffering is real. Once your consciousness falls into a coma or is fatally injured, you will be sent out of the illusion. In the end, those who are left in the illusion will be directly qualified to enter the inner courtyard. Finally, what needs to be reminded is that the illusion will shrink with time, so you don't have to worry about not finding your opponent. The little ghosts wish you can win the qualification to enter the inner courtyard."
